Progress update:

Titanium is hard around the cove tree. This is why I emphasized on bringing extra if you’re making permanant residence. Now there’s plenty of magnetite, uranite, and ruby in and around the cove tree area. Enough for thermal reactors. However even I feel stumped. If anything it feels more worth while to make a nuclear reactor with all the uranite around. It’s a strong supply on rods. And with so much lead on hand- could be more worthwhile.

When life gives you uranium- make an enriched reactor I guess.

I didnt have the prawn suit finished so I didn’t bring it down. I already have a moon pool setup and fully upgraded seamoth- in my haste in getting to the lost river. I made the cardinal sin of not scanning the power cell charger fragments present in the jelly cave. I’ll have to make a return trip to any biome with it

If anything- if your going to suggest which entrances to use, I recommend suggesting what fragments are around the general area, within maybe 1-2 nearby biomes, for instance, one of the blood kelp entrances has the nuclear reactor parts, the entrance through the deep grand reef has the orange tablet + aquarium + any other base module available on the last degasi base + a few upgrade mods including the rare cyclops shield upgrade (which otherwise iirc is only found in dunes wrecks).

Im getting subnnautica soon any tips?

@Billybobjimbo

Don't be afraid to explore.

The Safe Shallows, Grassy Platues, and Kelp Forests are all good spots for bases, as they have few enemies that actually pose a danger.

If you need resources from the Blood Kelp Zone, PLEASE go to the trench and not the big one, unless you're trying to go to a cave.

Don't go behind the Aurora. Reaper central and there's nothing of use there.

If you need lithium, diamonds, or gold, try to locate a certain creature that digs them up. If you look at a spoilery online map, it will be on the bottom left areas.

Leviathans tend to avoid the surface. remember that.

After you make a base, there is very little reason to use the lifepod.

@Dogmage999 thank you for the help

@Dogmage999 whats a leviathan tho.

Any massive creature over 30m. In subnautica, there are 6 (?) types of leviathans, 3 of which are highly dangerous.

Well the ghost livithan is in the lost river

Ohhhhhhhh. i feel stupid

My advise at all times in the game would be to bring the materials needed for a hatch, a room, a bioreactor and a scanner room with max range upgrades, and carry them aboard a cyclops. Build those when in a new area to search for stuff. Also suggest you build a forward base at the lowest level of the lost river
