I'm not seeking these tablets to finish the game, I'm looking for loot. Is it easier to craft them? Yes. Is it unnecessary to collect them all? Yes. I already knew this. I already crafted one spare already, because I left searching the Mountain Island until later in my play-though and only had the Floating Island one.

I have the 7 purples listed above. I've got the orange one. I've spent the time to amass all the lootable but useless objects from all the wrecks and lifepods in the game. I've raided the Sanctuary caches for available Ion Cubes, and even gone as far as entering the Disease Research Facility this time. I've even got 4 of the 5 cuddlefish eggs (and I know exactly where to find the fifth). My base is stacked with massively unnecessary amounts of resources and crafted equipment. Clearly, I don't need any of these things to complete the game. I am an obsessive collector, and will lay this game to rest when I found every object in the game and obtained all PDA entries possible.

With some research I found other users listed the broken tablet on the Mountain Island as one of the 8. HOWEVER, these posts are old, made long prior to full release and could be potentially out of date. I am seeking confirmation on whether the wiki is reporting 8 due to this broken one or there is in fact another intact one I didn't find. Ultimately I was hoping to amass more information including coordinates so the wiki could be more complete and precise about this topic (under spoilers), hence my request HERE.
