Zork: added cost for launching

The crew of the Daedalus can embark on '''Expeditions''' to foreign planets, restocking the ship's [[resources]] and discovering various adventurous [[zones]] and [[Inventory|artifacts]]. Some precautions need to be taken before an Expedition can be started, and a larger number of [[characters]] will need to work together to load fuel, send the Daedalus on its course and embark on the journey.

== Launching an Expedition ==

'''Expedition procedure:'''

* You have to find a planet with the [[Astrophysics|Astro Terminal]].
* Someone has to put the correct amount of [[Resources|Fuel]] into the Combustion Chamber. If the Daedalus moves to a wrong position, the planet will be '''lost forever'''.
* Your {{Title|Commander}} has to turn the Daedalus in the right direction and then engage the trip. See: [[Navigation]].
* '''Optional''': Everyone can look at the planet and finish the surface scan now, if you have not done so already, for a cheaper cost. Do this in order to confirm that the planet really contains what was reported, and you won't encounter things you do not want to (generally this means [[Zones#Volcanoes|Volcanoes]], [[Zones#Mankarog|Mankarog]] and [[Zones#Seismic|Seismic]] zones).
* Assemble your expedition crew in [[Map|Icarus Bay]] and take off. The only cost is 4 AP for launching, from the person who launches. Everyone else in the bay is brought along automatically, and more AP is not needed to return.
* The Expedition will happen automatically. Exception: The {{Skill|U-Turn}} skill will allow you to abort an expedition in progress.
* When you are on an Expedition, all discovered items, fruit and food appear automatically in the Icarus Bay. {{todo|confirm}} When on a patrol ship they appear when the patrol ship gets back.
* Once the Expedition is done, someone will have to put 1 {{fuel}} in the {{Equipment|Combustion Chamber}}, and the {{title|Commander}} has to move out of orbit before you can scan for new planets.

'''You can't launch an expedition under these circumstances:'''

* The planet has been fully explored
* An expedition is currently happening
* If the {{BIOS|Crew Lock}} is on [Pilot], the one who launches the expedition has to be a {{Skill|Pilot}}.

'''Miscellaneous notes:'''
* As long as there are {{Character|Mush}} on board, it is wise to both secure the {{Item|Hacker Kit}} and take the acting Commander along for the expedition, to prevent them from moving the ship and abandoning the away team.
* For the landing, it does not matter who launches the expedition as long as a Pilot is part of the crew.
* If someone dies during the expedition, everything they were carrying is permanently lost.
* If the Icarus is still on the planet when the Daedalus moves, the Icarus and all expedition personal will be lost forever, unless {{Project|Magnetic Return}} is completed. Then the Icarus will be returned... but not the crew.
* After exploring the planet in a patroller, you will be returned to space rather than a bay.
* {{Bug|You can be hit by a steel plate while on a planet.}}
* {{Bug|A member of the Expedition can die due to lack of {{Oxygen}} in the Daedalus}}

== Useful Skills ==

Certain characters' skills lend themselves to Expeditions especially well, granting the exploring crew various bonuses. Expedition gains from multiple same skills do stack.

{{Skill|Botanist}}: +1 to fruit gained from Harvests.

{{Skill|Diplomat}}: Disables '''Combat''' outcomes from alien meetings. It won't protect you from accidents or from getting smashed by a Mankarog.

{{Skill|Sprinter}}: +1 area visited per Sprinter. (Even if they go missing during the mission.)

{{Skill|Shooter}}: +1 to group combat strength

{{Skill|Survivalist}}:
*Personal damage to the survivalist is reduced by 1 point.
*The event [[Events#Provision|Provision]] gives 1 more {{Item|Alien Steak}}.
*Last to die in case of fatal events. It means that if you had to die (in case of some fatal event) someone else will.

== Useful Equipment ==

{{Item|Quadrimetric Compass}}:
*Protects the group from the [[Events#Wander|Wandering]] event.
*Protects the wielder from the [[Events#MIA|Lost]] event.

{{Item|Spacesuit}} Allows explorers to go on a planet without oxygen. If you don't have a spacesuit on such a planet, you won't take part in the expedition, and you will wait in the Icarus.

{{Item|Rope}} Cancels 3-5 personal damage that can happen to you in the zones of {{Zone|Seismic Activity}}, {{Zone|Caverns}} and {{Zone|Mountains}}. Does not prevent sudden death.

{{Item|White Flag}} Cancels the chance of Combat in the {{Zone|Intelligent Life}} event.

{{Item|Echo-Locator}} Chance to explore {{Zone|Hydrocarbon Deposits}} zone is multiplied by 5.

{{Item|Drill}} Double any [[Resources#Fuel|Fuel]] gains during the expedition.

{{Item|Babel Module}} The chance to gain an artfact in the {{Zone|Intelligent Life}} event is doubled.

{{Item|Thermosensor}} Chance to explore {{Zone|Ruminants}}, {{Zone|Predators}}, {{Zone|Intelligent Life}}, {{Zone|Mankarogs}}, {{Zone|Insects}} and {{Zone|MIA}} zones is multiplied by 5.

{{Item|Post-It}} Can be used to fill empty inventory slots to reduce the chance of losing an important object during exploration.

=== Weapons ===

{{Item|Blaster}} +1 added to the strength of your team during Combat.

{{Item|Knife}} +1 added to the strength of your team during Combat.

{{Item|Natamy}} +1 added to the strength of your team during Combat.

{{Item|Lizaro Jungle}} +1 added to the strength of your team during Combat.

{{Item|Old Faithful}} (Machine Gun): +2 added to the strength of your team during Combat.

{{Item|Rocket Launcher}} +3 added to the strength of your team during Combat.

{{Item|Grenade}} +3 added to the strength of your team during Combat. (one time use and consumed at the 1st Combat). If a crew member carries more than one, one will be used per fight.

== Gameplay Mechanics ==
The exploration occurs automatically, one zone every 10 minutes.
* 9 of the planet's zones explored with the Icarus ship, and 1 more for each {{Skill|Sprinter}} in the group.
* 3 with a patrol ship, 4 if you are {{Skill|Sprinter}}.

Each zone can be explored once, but a visit may fail to explore in case of Wandering [[events|event]].

Each zone has 4 possible outcomes. (for details see [[Zones]])

Item gains (Steaks, O2, Fuel, Fruits) reported by the game already include the bonuses from any Skills and inventory items mentioned above.

=== Fight ===
Combat events are calculated as follows:
*The creature's strength is determined by the zone, the {{Zone|Shipwreck}} encounter being the exception.
*The strength of the crew is '''1 per member''' plus any bonuses from [[#Useful Skills|skills]] and [[#Useful Equipment|equipment]].
*If the group's strength is inferior to the creature's strength, the difference in strength is spread across the group as damage. (not necessarily in an equal way)
*If the crew wins, they simply don't take any damage, there are no other effects.

===Return===
After an expedition is finished, anyone who joined the expedition will be offered to see the expedition log page. The link to this expedition log page can be shared with the rest of the crew.

The health of the crewmembers who survived the expedition is always shown as 12 {{HP}} in the public expedition log page. It does not reflect their actual status.

Health

2015-01-22T01:30:21Z

Zork: added "and +4 AP" to benefits of eating a ration.

{{TOC right}}
The daily grind in the depths of space asks a lot of the Daedalus crew , who find their mental and physical '''Health''' diminishing with each passing day. Maintaining your {{HP}} '''Health Points''' and {{Morale}} '''Morale''' is one of your many responsibilities in the fight against the {{Character|Mush}}, which eventually proves difficult as you are beset by [[Dangers]] from all sides. Deaths of vital personnel and depleted resources will drive you to carefully guard every precious point you have, and force you to cooperate with others to restore them as efficiently as possible.

To the left of the play area is the display for your health. Over your picture is a collection of icons representing special [[Status|statuses]], and just below that are your {{HP}} and {{Morale}} gauges. Special statuses can be good or bad, and hovering over the icons will give a description and sometimes advice.

== Health Points ==

{{HP}} '''Health Points''' are a measurement of your physical well-being. When they drop to zero, your character will '''die''' and you will be removed from the game.

Health Points are capped at '''14''' {{HP}}. If you are playing in {{Gold Mode}}, you gain a bonus of +2 {{HP}}, making '''16''' {{HP}} your total maximum.

'''*''' This damage has a (low) chance of occurring whenever a player picks up an item, repairs a broken piece of equipment or object, or uses a piece of equipment or object. There is an elevated and reliable chance for a non-Raluca player to be scratched for 2 {{HP}} each time they pick up Schrödinger. <br>
'''**''' 6-13 {{HP}} if victim is a {{Character|Mush}}. A Natamy Rifle also might cause up to 3 injuries at one shot, so it should be used with care for mush-testing.

{{Note|All '''combat''' damage is reduced by 1 {{HP}} each (stacking) by the following: {{Item|Plastenite Armor}}, {{Skill|Hard Boiled}}, though it is reportedly bugged at times when a mush player holds both the Armor and the skill. Mush who [[mutate]] will also have some additional damage protection.}}
</div>
</div>

== Morale Points ==

{{Morale}} '''Morale Points''' represent your character's mental integrity. When {{Morale|long}} drops to zero, the character will commit suicide and you will be removed from the game at the next cycle change.

As with {{HP}}, Morale is capped at '''14''' {{Morale}}. If you are playing in {{Gold Mode}}, you gain a bonus of +2 {{Morale}}, making '''16''' {{Morale}} your total maximum.

The {{Character|Mush}}'s {{Morale}} is always at maximum and cannot be influenced. This may prompt {{Character|Mush}} players to keep track of the {{Morale}} they otherwise ''would'' have as regular human crewmember, so that they can defend themselves in case of doubt.

You wake up from cryosleep with 7 {{Morale}} (or 8 {{Morale}} in {{gold Mode}}).

==Satisfaction and Starvation==
'''Satisfaction''' is a hidden health statistic that relates to food and starvation. When you eat, you gain Satisfaction points depending on what you eat. Different [[Inventory#Consumables|foods]] give different amounts. You will gain the {{Status|Full Stomach}} status when your Satisfaction is 3 or more, and you cannot eat any more after that. You lose 1 Satisfaction per cycle. Once your Satisfaction points reach 0, you will be fine for 24 more cycles. Once that time has elapsed, you will gain the {{Status|Starving}} status, and will begin losing 1 {{HP}} per cycle.

If you have the {{Status|Starving}} status, you need to eat a consumable, except pills, to set your '''Satisfaction''' back to 0 or above.

Given a basic max starting {{HP|long}} of 14, and assuming that you have already hit 0 Satisfaction at some point in the recent past, eat 1 ration giving '''+4''' {{Satisfaction}} and '''+4''' {{AP}}, and you will last 5.25 days before death:

(<span style="color:#080;">Cycles of Satisfaction ticking down</span> + <span style="color:#880;">Cycles before starvation starts</span> + <span style="color:#800;">Cycles of losing 1 {{HP}}</span>) divided by <span style="color:#008;">Number of Cycles in a day</span><br/>
<span style="color:#080;">4</span> + <span style="color:#880;">24</span> + <span style="color:#800;">14</span> = 42 Cycles<br/>
42 / <span style="color:#008;">8</span> = 5.25 Days

With Gold Mode: (4+24+16)/8 = 5.5 days<br/>
With low health: (4+24+1)/8 = 3.625 days

The only thing that will affect this process is damage you receive in that time from other characters or random room events, or {{morale|long}} loss causing suicide. This can technically kill you earlier than that, but the overall chances of that are impossible to calculate at this point. Get your {{hp}} and {{morale}} to max and eat that Ration, and you should be fine.

You start at 0 satisfaction and will receive the status starvation after 24 cycles, damage starts the next cycle after receiving the status until dealt with.

{{Todo|Need to confirm the 24 cycles before starvation starts, find the point that the hunger notification starts, and find out what max satisfaction is.}}
