Talk:Time Capsule/@comment-38386230-20190202063128

So many people complaining about 'endgame' items in time capsules. I usually reach this 'endgame' state in the 'early game' around 45 minutes after starting anew. I don't use cheats or exploits and it's not even hard. You just need to know exactly where everything is and how to get there. Instructions follow:


 * spoilers* *spoilers* *spoilers*

shopping list 1: 10 titanium, 1 copper, 2 shroom, 2 creepvine cluster (~3 minutes) shopping list 2: 1 titanium, 3 copper, 2 shroom, 1 creepvine cluster (~3 minutes) shopping list 3: 12 titanium, 3 copper, 7 silver, 1 gold, 12 quartz, 2 shroom, 2 table coral, 18 creepvine sample (~15 minutes) shopping list 4: 7 titanium, 3 quartz, 1 copper, 1 gold, 1 table coral (~5 minutes)

start new game (survival) -- collect all items from list 1 -- craft 3 tanks, scanner, fins, knife -- collect items of list 2 -- scan and build seaglide -- collect items of list 3 -- get builder, upgrade all tanks to high capacity, build rebreather and 8 first aid kits -- collect all items of list 4 -- clear inventory of all resources -- pack up list 4 material, max out your water/food bars and go for the mountain island -- on the way collect an eyestalk seed from the kelp forest cave near lifepod 3 -- at this point you're probably around 30 minutes into the game and the rest goes rather quickly -- at mountain island collect 2 purple alien tablets (underwater caves) -- build micro base outside of QEP moonpool (1 tube, 1 hatch, 1 solar panel, 1 fabricator) -- go into lower QEP via moonpool and get the ion cube -- remove all batteries from tools to use them in the seaglide and dump all tools in moonpool to pick up later -- keep the knife(!) -- go south, then east for lost river entrance in mountains -- along the way collect a mushroom sample, a bulb sample, ghostweed sample -- go directly to the ATP, refill airtanks and heal damage -- collect 2 kyanite directly outside the ATP, insert 2 purple tablets inside, collect ion battery/powercell blueprints, blue tablet, another ion cube -- enable teleporter to QEP with ion cube, go back to QEP and use the fabricator in your micro base to create a second blue tablet -- teleport back to ATP and go straight for PCF -- heal heat damage with first aid kits on the way -- insert 2 blue tablets to open PCF, collect seacrown seed and two ion cubes from pool -- enable hatching station with ion cube and use the last cube to enable the second teleporter back to QEP -- wait(!) until you get the enzyme receipe before teleporting back. if you go too early the game will bug out and you will be unable to build the enzyme at all -- teleport to QEP and build enzyme -- teleport back to PCF and hatch eggs -- get healed -- go back into lower QEP via moonpool, collect purple tablet on the way to the control room and lower the forcefield -- disable QEP -- congratulations you are now in the 'endgame' and it didn't even take an hour.
