ChrisPBacon000 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'm wondering if anyone has some knowledge about how you use the cartographic module on a rocket. I built a radbolt rocket with a trailblazer module, an orbital cargo module, and the cartographic module. My plan was to drop a trailblazer plus supplies on a new planet, and then so some scouting in the area. I had 2 dupes in the rocket. One got dropped to the planet to build a rocket pad, the other stayed in the capsule and I left the rocket in orbit. But after several cycles no new tiles had been explored. I gave up and built a telescope on the surface and did the scouting of the region that way. It really seemed the cartographic module did nothing. There is no clear info about how it works though. Any insight out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cartographic module lets you travel to undiscovered hexes and "discovers" them when you travel there. It doesn't discover new hexes like the telescope does.

Sasza22 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It really needs to analyze stuff in a range around the rocket. Exploring with the current funcionallity would take forever if the ever disable putting a telescope inside the command module. No real reason to use it over a telescope inside in it`s current form.

Hokaeru Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I agree, I think the telescope wasn't intended in rockets but at the moment they left it. Hope if they disable it that they increase the range of the cartographic module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
