Calm skies, for now

Should travel include encounters, hazards or interruptions?

Working directionNew in Edition 3

The direction

Travel can eventually include random events, hazards or interruptions, but the first version does not need them. Keep travel controlled and readable at first, with route selection and fuel cost doing most of the work. Random travel events are a later expansion rather than an initial requirement.

The original question’s prompt

If yes, explain whether they are welcome discoveries, optional risks or unavoidable obstacles.

Examples in a prompt are not decisions unless the answer chooses them.

Still to decide in this chapter

Which materials must never be bought or automated, and how much price/recipe information players see, are still open. Random travel events are a later expansion.
