[Suggestion] Allow entire map to be explorable in all missions
Please remove the unpassable boundaries in the game. We should be allowed to travel to the entire world if that is what we choose to do. Having invisible zone blocks kills the immersion.

Infospy MergedWe are prospecting on a new planet. We have to deal with all the risks ourselves without further intervention. I understand that limiting some resources for specific Prospects might make for a more challenging prospect but it doesn't reward exploration or knowledge about Icarus.
Random ores could be spawned on creation of the Prospects so we don't know where all of them are and add incentive to continuous exploration of the map. -

Alex MergedI kind of agree with this but only if it is on the same biome. If it is on another biome, I think it necessary.
And I have only been getting out of bounds when you are getting into another biome. I think that makes sense because maybe, for a certain mission they would like you to stick to a certain biome. Like if it's a desert mission, you don't go in the forest, or arctic and get all the food and ice you want, and then come back to the desert and have an easy time. (just an example, the desert is already the easiest biome in my mind).
Or if they want you to struggle in the artic, going to the forest and getting all the wood/sticks/fiber you want would maybe make the mission too easy. -

Tom MergedWe are prospecting on a new planet. We have to deal with all the risks ourselves without further intervention.
We traveled with a space ship from Earth to this planet and upon landing on its surface we make pickaxes from stone.
Change the story narrative!
It would work if you are sent down to ground and you crash the ship losing parts of the ship that had your gear in. Ship/pod is totaled and you have to fix it to be able to send data back to orbit. However mission timers had to go. THEN it would make sense. Upon crash, your suit was damaged and now you CAN get debuf inside the caves. Jesus fuck....how hard is this to make? -

JTThere shouldn't be any out of bounds for offline solo play or self hosted prospects so upvoted.

Mark Fisher Mergedthis has become much more important after the current patch where we can't get Squash without going into the Desert, but the OOB error means I can no longer get certain food types. Terrible play

Harvey FinkelYou probably haven't played enough to realize that access to certain areas is gated by mission completions. You have to work your way through to certain regions.

David MergedThis is super annoying. I just want a bit of ice and the game doesn't let me briefly enter the arctic. its not fun or realistic and it's just annoying

AnonyMoose MergedI can understand they want us to unlock areas slowly and not have full map access. But for example, I'm on one of the Desert missions, I dipped down into the Forest biome to have an easier time getting some resources, and decided I wanted to build an Icebox to preserve my food. (because T4 material requirements are insane except for very long missions, no way in hell I'm getting a Refrigerator) so I needed Ice... and I journeyed down to O12 trying to get some ice. Out of Bounds timer kicked in, preventing me. Literally blocking access to something you need for early game food preservation, with no alternative available.
To me, that's pretty silly. I've already done all the Forest/Tundra missions, this most certainly should have been unlocked/available to explore, no reason to gate it off except to dick with players. -
