Active Matter Quests and Investigations
Investigation walkthroughs, quest objectives, and the steps that block early progression.
Investigations and side objectives are where Active Matter hides its progression gates. Some ask you to place equipment in a specific spot, others to collect samples or finish a dark, optics-dependent route.
These walkthroughs give the objective, the location, and the order of steps, so you can finish them in a single deployment where possible.
