Red grass. One of the destroyed pods is near an entrance to Jellyshroom kave. After getting lost in there the first time, my first base is always near that entrance. Doubles as a becon to get outta there, but also lets my scanners pick up more materials in there.

I found the island with the alien base on it. Maybe I'll just stay here forever. It's got fruit trees to eat.

Make sure to check everywhere and scan everything.

tip but partially a spoiler
some of the plant life can be regrown. And a few of them are extremely limited and only on that island. If you pick them all and eat them youll never grow them again

I always build over the jellyshroom caves with a biogenerator, solar panels, nuke plant, and thermal generators with linkages going up.

Then I build until the game starts crapping out from the strain.

Sorry. The game/narrative doesn't actually intend for you to go around slaying beasts. There will be other defensive/protective means, but not much offensive beyond the knife and it's 1 upgrade. They want you to feel helpless and avoid predators.

I built two bases, but the second one was basically just a room. It's just not necessary having more than one IMO.

And yeah, the game very much wants you to not kill leviathans despite it being possible. There's a reason you don't get resource from killing anything in the game.

I wish the ps4 version didn't freeze up so much around big bases. I would have loved to have built a really big fancy one, but it wouldn't be worth the trouble of amassing all those resources if it just made the whole system explode.

Probably not, but konsidering how long it takes for them to drop materials and how much you need, you don't want to make it any worse.

You can bait them into dropping them by giving them metal salvage to play with. And you don't really need that much glass.

What's even worse than that? One of them turning into a ninja and attacking you without making their roaring/screeching noise.

Had that happen to me in the Grand Reef with a Ghost Leviathan. Didn't make a noise at all until after it attacked my sea moth, and caused me to have to take a break for the day after I got away.

So I found the crashed pod in the red grass near some caves. I'm thinking this is where I'll set up a base. The only thing is, I'm missing important blueprints. Specifically for the laser cutter, multipurpose room and vehicle bay. I feel like those are important for what I'm doing. Should I just keep exploring the seafloor randomly?

Generally speaking, exploring the areas near escape pods is a good way to find more blueprints. Although, given where you are in the game, you should have found the multipurpose room already. Without giving anything away... you might need to explore a bit more >_>

make sure to not look up anything more unless you absolutely have to.

this is one of those games like Outer Wilds where a blind playthrough is the best option

Seaglide is great if you hear a scary noise and need to get the fuck out immediately. Also it's nice for reaching deep wrecks or caves quickly so you can investigate them thoroughly without running out of air.

Wasting resources

i think you can use them for piping air from your base to the map if you want to get somewhere but Ive never really used them as they are functionally pointless once you have upgraded your tank

This is the equivalent of asking if it's worth pressing the sprint key. It can be done without, but it's just sluggish in comparison.

Accolon posted...

If you set up a air pump at the surface or attached to a habitat, you can run pipes from it. At the end of the network, there will be a open pipe pumping air that you can use to resupply.

As others said, people typically don't find it very useful. By the time you're getting deep enough that you can't surface for air, you'll probably have better options.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever removed the sea glide from my inventory aside from times when I would organize resources into labeled storage boxes. Even late game when you'll probably be in a vehicle 90% of the time, it's still really nice to have to be able to get away from non-Leviathan threats more easily for those times you have to be out of the vehicle.

The Seaglide is still good for kaves and wrecks that bigger/faster means kannot fit into.

Foundation and reinforcement boosts structural integrity, which gets lower with every room or window you add. If it gets low enough, things will break and water gets inside.

There is a Pressure mechanic. The more stuff you add to your base the more the overall pressure mechanic builds up. The deeper you are, the more a new addition to your base effects pressure.

When it hits a threshold cracks will appear in your base and itll start to fill up with water which renders a lot of the rooms and items unuseable.

there are other options to build up Structural Integrity like Bulkheads and plating but Foundations are available from the start
