{{Warning|Adding the %s based on http://twd.io/e/Z6Eb0g/409 . I'll try to finish it up asap. --[[User:Yungching|Yungching]] ([[User talk:Yungching|talk]]) 14:59, 16 December 2013 (MST)}}
{{TOC right}}

With the exception of Landing and MIA, these zones will appear in the planet scans. Once you've scanned a planet and go on your expedition, you will go through 9 of these zones on each expedition, up to the number of unexplored zones available. (If there are only 8 zones on the planet, you will only explore 8. You will not explore any zone more than one time, though multiple zones of the same type are common.) If you have a sprinter in your expedition crew, you will add 1 zone for each sprinter in your exploration.

The inclusion of living creatures on a particular planet do not guarantee Oxygen.

Every zone has 4 possible outcomes, though some are just different messages with the same result.

{{Info|When exploring zones with skills or equipment that increases your yield, the number displayed will show the increased yield.

For instance, getting 4 fuel with the drill will display a gain of 8 fuel while showing the message that corresponds to 4.}}

{{Todo|Add odds of each zone based on French wiki with note that odds are not official and based on spading within the French version}}
