Exploration rework
complete
Vit Barta
After Satellite Uplink is built in one of your bases scanning with increasing range starts automatically.
The scanning is revealing sites as it expands (in the same way as now but only from bases) and the player still has to explore each individual site. However, if a new Pandoran base is built within the existing scanning range it is revealed straight away.
There will be no more scanning from the aircraft but we will reintroduce the old exploration system from backer builds which we call organic exploration. It means that contacting a haven will reveal nearby havens and scavenging sites.

Phoenix Point v. Cthulhu 1.6 - 30/07/2020
Active Scanning has been removed.
When a Satellite Uplink in a base is built or repaired it begins scanning with increasing range, revealing sites as it expands. Scavenging, Haven and Exploration Sites are located this way.
Reaching a Haven will reveal nearby sites.

Oh. That's interesting. A big game changer. I wonder how that will interact with Festering Skies.

Allow Area Scan from Satellite Link

If we can initiate Area Scan from a base with Satellite Link, that will make building multiple links more useful, and we can regularly scan around our bases after the tech to more easily discover alien bases that threaten PP bases.

Allow us to locate alien bases through scanning earlier in the game. It is so annoying when your base(s) are getting attacked nearly every in game day because it means you never have time to send your soldiers on missions, and you have no way of targeting the bases until mid/late game.

I don't think the "re-scan" was explained particularly well... I went on for ages thinking they would just start popping up on the map.

A better fix would be to let us automatically discover enemy bases after successful PP base defense mission same like how it happens after successful Haven defense mission.

Torinus: yeah that would work really well.
