Moon regions and cleaning progress
The Moon is split into 163,842 regions, which the region scan and the Field Manual call sectors. A region is cleaned, and pays $10, once at most 1% of its dust is left; when every region is done, the ending plays.

When a region counts
| Rule | Fact |
|---|---|
| Started | A region counts as started once 0.1% of its starting dust is cleaned. |
| Cleaned and paid | A region is done, and paid, when at most 1% of its starting dust is left. |
| Regions with no dust | Skipped: they pay nothing and count as done for the ending. |
| Region scan | G on the keyboard, D-pad down in the default controller layout: shows the sector you stand in, its five-digit number, its edges and how clean it is in percent. Controls |
Pay per region
| Region Bounty | Level price | Bounty | Paid per region |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | $10 | ||
| Level I | $200 | +$15 | $25 |
| Level II | $600 | +$30 | $40 |
The bounty is only added for a region credited to a player; a region credited to the whole crew pays the $10 base only.

In the Field Manual
The Moon is split into hexagonal sectors. Clean one completely for a bonus.
There are 163,842 sectors. Nobody has counted twice.
Press G to scan the sector you're standing in: you'll see its edges and how clean it is.
Every sector you finish pays a bonus. So does every flag you raise and every lunar site you survey.
