Exploration plays a large part in Hom Factory. In order to improve Yu as well as gain materials for crafting, you must venture into the wilds of the island.
Each zone has different materials you can collect, improving the number of alchemic creations you can synthesize.
In zones, Green points indicate gathering points while Purple points indicate combat points. Green points will regard magicite and items when explored while Purple points will initiate combat, offering very slight amounts of magicite.
Each zone has a certain number of daily searches that can be performed. Once this number is reached you must sleep to reset it (although there are some items that will give you more searches as well).

In addition to these aspects of Zone exploration there are also several other features:
- Camping can be done once a day and allows you to gain some Fatigue as well as restore some of your health.
- You can also enter your inventory when you aren't in battle to replenish things like health or fatigue.
- You can fast travel to other zones from the exploration screen.
Lastly, each zone has a level of quality and monster growth. These will affect the creatures you encounter during battles and the materials you harvest when gathering. In general, high quality materials are better, while fighting tougher monsters will yield better rewards and more experience.

You can manually raise the levels of these two zone aspects by infusing the area with your magicite.

Just be careful -- raising a zone's monster level too high might result in unwinnable battles!
Defeat happens to the best of us, but losing in battle will rob you of 20% of your current magicite so try to avoid it.
