Dunes

The Dunes is a biome located west from Lifepod 5, on the edge of the map, bordering one of the Grassy Plateaus, Sea Treader's Path, one of the Safe Shallows, both of the Blood Kelp Zones, the Northwestern Mushroom Forest and the Crater Edge.

Wreck 6 is found within the Dunes, having seemingly slid down the sandy dunes from the Northwestern Mushroom Forest. Another two wrecks are also found in the Dunes, this time near the Sea Treader's Path border.

Description
The Dunes features vast, sandy plains and dunes, sometimes littered with various types of rock structures. It is also home to many dangerous types of Fauna, the most notable threat being the eight Reaper Leviathans that patrol the open spaces of the biome.

Gasopods can be found, alongside their eggs, near the several hydrothermal vents in this biome. Most of the Flora and Coral is also located near these, alongside Lithium and Ruby. Reaper Leviathans often wander close to the hydrothermal vents so tread carefully.

Even in the daytime, the Dunes are quite dark and murky, making it difficult to see threats. It is recommended to keep track of where the Reaper Leviathans reside and give those areas a wide berth.

If building a base in the Dunes, a Scanner Room is incredibly useful. Not only can it be used to scan for resources, but it can also be used to keep track of the Reaper leviathans in the vicinity. This is especially effective with a Scanner Room HUD Chip.
