Guide notes
Wreck route discipline
Small wrecks still punish random movement. The best first clear is entry, objective, reward, exit. Cleanup can wait until the route is known.
Databox-first logic
If the garage has a databox or blueprint target, handle that before side loot. Unlocks change progression; loose materials only help if you survive the return.
When to return
Return when a new tool, larger inventory, or better oxygen makes the interior safer. Do not turn a first successful objective into a failed full clear.
Risk controls
Common mistakes
These are the actions most likely to waste oxygen, lose the route, or turn a clean scan into a failed attempt.
