Planet puzzles / FIELD GUIDE

Surface scan

A small-step guide to this planet activity.

  1. Find a matching group

    Look for three or more matching terrain samples that touch.

  2. Draw the chain

    Drag through the group. Straight and diagonal neighbors can connect. Do not jump across a gap.

  3. Lift your finger

    The samples clear and new pieces fall in. Watch the goal counter and any life discoveries.

  4. Follow the goal

    Some scans ask for cores, a certain number of patches, or different sample types. Read the goal before finishing.
