Talk:Crater Map/@comment-2001:5B0:49D4:1EC8:7DF5:84FD:8365:C9D8-20191203000240/@comment-39563968-20191203142149

There are ~ 500 discrete spots where Lifepod 5 can spawn at the beginning of a new game.

I have seen a map in some forum where someone had extracted them all from game data onto a central crater map, but I could not find it quickly for this reply.

Suffice to say that Lifepod 5 can spawn anywhere in the Safe Shallows biome (even right on the edge of one of the other biomes), EXCEPT inside the arc of the post explosion radiation zone.

Anicdotal evidence and personal experience is that the LP5 spawn point is perhaps slightly prejudiced toward the center of SS / centerpoint of map. Spawns on the edge of the rad zone or on the lip of another biome seem to be pretty rare.
