	As shown in Figure 1, the player selects a location from a hex grid on the Planet Map. Locations will vary in difficulty, with higher difficulties yielding greater long-term progression rewards. Rather than traditional difficulty levels that are explicitly chosen, difficulty is implicitly calculated based on region-specific factors such as soil quality, weather, and proximity to hazards. Each location will be uniquely generated via Procedural Content Generation (PCG) providing high replayability while ensuring no two runs are the same.
