The Alters: Exploration

This section covers essential gameplay mechanics in The Alters, including unlocking and utilizing fast travel, managing Jan's suit energy, destroying rock blockades, extracting rapidium, and handling anomalies. We explain how to activate fast travel during the prologue by crafting mining outposts, and how to expand it with travel pylons later in the game. 

The guide details suit energy management, actions that drain it, recharging methods, and upgrades to increase capacity. It also describes how to craft and use the drill for clearing rock blockades, destroy rocks on high ledges, and avoid energy-wasting energy walls, including research to automate or bypass obstacles. Key tips include locating and extracting rapidium deposits, the purpose of planetary samples for research, and how to create the luminator for anomaly detection and destruction. 

Additionally, the guide explains how to avoid radiation and magnetic storms, how anomalies can be neutralized or avoided, and how to unlock the anomaly shield for protection. Finally, it covers finding secret collectibles like the Multitool, Holo Chip, and Lava Lamp, and how to use them to improve relations with alters or unlock base upgrades.
