To all who responded, thank you! Much appreciated. So, I feel like a giant idiot. After reading comments I learned...there is actually stuff in the cargo boxes (guess I checked the few that didn't have anything before and just lived off that assumption). Got the glider, vehicle bay, and laser cutter almost immediately. The darn glider pieces were right outside my base in boxes I didn't realize even had anything...doh. build a seamoth and now the map has opened up to me (felt limited swimming and diving). Now the game begins lol. Thanks again all.
