FIELD MANUAL / iOS
Operator support
Find an answer, then get back to the outpost.
01Why has time stopped?
Check the current priority and any pending decision. Safety boundaries, unresolved choices or rule conflicts can pause progress. Resolve the indicated issue before resuming; a pause is not necessarily a fault.
02Why is my radiator still warming up?
A warmer radiator can radiate more heat. Its own temperature trend is not the same as the station’s overall heat balance. Check net heat flow, working-temperature margin and the forecast. Repair restores damaged area; the optional radiator upgrade adds nominal area.
03What happens while I am away?
Authorize autonomy on Home before leaving. On return, the game settles offline progress at 1× for up to 8 hours, stopping at relevant safety boundaries, decisions or rule conflicts. Online 2× / 5× speed does not increase offline speed.
04Where do I go after a scan or dispatch?
Open the sector map and select a discovered region to plan an expedition. Selecting a region with an active expedition opens its mission status. The drone panel shows drone status and management.
05Do notifications change the game?
No. Optional local notifications are reminders about predicted, known milestones. They do not advance the simulation or guarantee that an event has happened. Real results are settled when you return. You can allow or disable notifications in iOS Settings → Notifications → Terminal Outpost.
06Where is my save? Can I move it?
The iOS app stores progress on your device and does not provide an in-game cloud-sync service. Settings includes manual save and save-file export/import. Keep a backup before restarting, deleting data or removing the app; an incompatible file may not import.
07Does MORSE require an online AI service?
No. The iOS app uses local command parsing. Use the panels or supported terminal commands; /help lists available commands. MORSE is not a cloud chatbot.
08How do I change language?
The iOS interface follows your system language: Simplified Chinese or English, with English as the fallback for other languages. This website has its own language switch.
09How should I report a problem?
Email the app version and build from Settings, your iPhone model and iOS version, and steps to reproduce the issue. A screenshot can help, but remove private information. Keep your current save; do not uninstall as your first troubleshooting step.
