Flags
Last verified: November 2026 · Steam release build
How flags work
- Walk up to a flag and press E to untangle it. It takes a moment, then the flag is raised and you get paid.
- Reward: $100 in the release build; later patches have shown $200 per flag.
- The moon map counts flags found out of 195 and marks each one you have raised.
- Flags are not tied to achievements, but they are part of the moon map's completion counters.
Where flags are
Flags are spread fairly evenly over the whole sphere — plains, crater floors, mountain sides and both poles. Several are within a kilometre of North Station. They only render when you are reasonably close, so the best way to find them is a systematic sweep in a fast vehicle, marking where you have been. Full method in the Flag Hunting Guide.
Flags we have found

Identifying flags
The game names each flag when you untangle it, so you do not need to know your vexillology. That said, several flags are easy to mix up at a glance — the Scandinavian crosses (Iceland, Norway), the green-yellow-red tricolours, and a few that look like the US flag at a distance (Malaysia, Liberia). Do not skip a flag because you think you already raised it; walk up and check.
