| Discovered | the bigger radius around the player touches the geo, revealing it as gray |

UI
The Items Found panel shows all items in the Sector as ?. When the player picks up/interacts with a Collectable/Non-Collectable Progression Item, it shows the specific item's icon and highlights the background.
Players can press a button to hide/show the Legend
Fast travel
When the player completes a level, a notification appears on their HUD, alerting them that they unlocked Fast Travel.
On the Automap, the player can select a Fast Travel point and instantly travel there.
Automap Groups
Some levels are so large, we cut them up into multiple areas ("Automap Groups").When the player crosses from area to another with a different Automap Group, the Automap automatically switches to the new Automap Group.
