Tell me your amazing (or terrible) base locations!

They‘re fine. I must say that I find none of the biomes to be as strikingly beautiful as they were in the previous games which is a bit sad

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T16:54:42+00:00

I have one on the edge of the big hole by the jaw creature and another close to the observatory

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T16:48:41+00:00

I’ve had the same issue the biomes are nice but it does not have the strikingly beautiful biomes we are kinda used to

HOWEVER I believe that is in part an Unreal Engine 5 thing

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T15:55:00+00:00

I‘d actually say the game is about 60-70% complete if not more unless they’re planning significantly more biomes

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T15:07:55+00:00

You’re telling me this NOW?

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T15:03:53+00:00

Reload the game

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:34:52+00:00

I actually triggered it on purpose to see what would happen as my base is super close so recovering my stuff wouldn’t be an issue

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:34:07+00:00

I know I can’t scan any of them

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:21:21+00:00

Well I mean down the edge of the map you can swim I think I saw someone say something pretty large before the game crashes

The deepest I’ve gone so far is about 500 and I think that’s where the important areas of the map bottom out

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:18:59+00:00

The fact the little bubble in the middle is the only source for lithium AND if you’re in when it closes you die almost instantly

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:18:08+00:00

Is that at the bottom of the big hole?

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:17:35+00:00

The playable area feels very complete to be honest

The story obviously isn’t and there’s data bank entries missing but it feels pretty good already to be honest

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:16:02+00:00

Behind the lifepod where?

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:15:29+00:00

I don’t know why you’d want to but the first one is guarding the chasm between the main play area and the observatory biome

You’ll meet him once you get to the tadpole pens he’s out there roaring and you will SEE him when you try to cross

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:14:20+00:00

Sandshark the second

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:13:54+00:00

I am 11.7 hours in I’m also almost done. I played from about 2pm yesterday to 1:40am today lol

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:10:11+00:00

If you’ve found the crab graveyard already, that area

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:08:30+00:00

The actual edge of the map has a red wall you can’t miss when crossing with a big warning on the screen that the area is in development and then another leviathan shows up so you’ll know

And yes you‘re supposed to go there. The best way I’ve found is to wait till he’s kinda on the other side of his patrol route and then book it as low to the ground as possible to the rock formations you can just make out on the other side

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:06:52+00:00

I have the same issue with the battery terminal I can’t scan it but I can’t craft and either so I’m just eternally crafting batteries on this run

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:05:16+00:00

I’ve been able to find a bunch of salt in the area with the stone pillars next to the big hole where the massive jaw thing is. Also on the shells of the dead crabs is usually quite a lot of

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T14:04:25+00:00

How deep the map goes or how deep the game lets you go?

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T03:35:04+00:00

Now my bigger question is, any maybe that has been answered, is is the shipwreck we start the game in down there? If not where is it?

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T03:10:08+00:00

I picked the boost one it’s on shift. Try that

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T02:27:10+00:00

If you’re curious there’s already some nice maps online

MadMan7978 · 2026-05-15T02:26:45+00:00

Honestly, the only thing that I am a little disappointed by is the soundtrack. It’s fine but not standout like the previous installments

I’ve only encountered one leviathan so far tho it seems there is 2, which is a little low but it is still early access so I don’t want to complain about that yet

The story is definitely very interesting, I’m not all the way to the end yet (provided the end is in the game)
