Missions

Missions are goals for players to work towards, helping to guide players along the path of the game, while offering rewards along the way. The Missions Panel offers various missions to do, such as collect resources, craft certain items, or interact with the main goal of the game.

Mission Log

The Mission Log is attached to the starting Landing Pad, and can be interacted with to bring up the Mission Log panel. The player can use this to keep track of missions when at their main base.
