Just wait till you see what's inside the structure on the island.

Yes.
Spoiler:
I did explore the space canon island, I went into the underground but didn't have another purpole doom key to open field after using gravity elevator. So of course I turned on a god damn Stargate and teleported to second island on the other side. It was cool because it had lots of shit to scan like growbeds and habitat modules.
I totally forgot to bring a knife though, so the whole time (I think it was 3 ingame days) I was dodging and tanking those fucking crabs, and using glider as a flashlight as well.

On an unrelated note, I crafted the reinforced suit. Unfortunately I forgot I was wearing lead suit the whole time, so I build my underwater base right inside the radioactive zone. Oh well.

The second island has a ping directly below it, so I guess you can go from there.

Also, are the maps randomly generated? I was looking up the wikipedia, and all the biomes and points of interests there are marked with coordinates.

Don't be a pussy and go to the Aurora.

Better bring a Seamoth and some supplies, though.

Spoiler:
Also, two artifacts can be found on the first island you visited, and a third in the central habitat on the second island. Those should be enough to open her up. Be sure to scan the artifacts, by the way.

I've already visited Aurora. Got some blueprints at the cliffside, but I need something better to fight the sand sharks.

I don't know what Seamoth is but I don't have it. Won't be reading spoilers.

That particular spoiler contained the locations of three purple artifacts. You already got one of those, and you already visited every place where those artifacts could be found.

The Seamoth is a vehicle.
Sandsharks are not meant to be fought, none of the wildlife really is.

The Cyclops is such a pain in the ass to use, Jesus Christ. I thought that this thing would be really comfy, but I just keep smashing into everything.

I have a question, is the new precursor buildings in the lost river and stuff only in the experimental or is it in the current stable as well? I want to see it all but i also heard they made it so Reapers can damage the cyclops in the experimental build and I really dont want to have to deal with that

It was in experimental before the update, so it should be in stable now.

My base is coming along nicely. I decided to stay in the Safe Shallows near Lifepod 5 (for now) because it's in the center of everything, in case of emergencies I have Lifepod 5 right there, and I can swim outside for longer than 30 seconds without something trying to chomb my limbs, suck my blood, fuck my mind or feel me up with tentacles.
Spoiler:
I just finished an expedition into the Aurora. I looted the place and fixed the warp drive so I can stop living next to a nuclear wasteland. Next on the agenda is finding the Alien Containment blueprints so I no longer have to Will E. Coyote after fish every time I get hungry.

This is an absurdly large base.
Then again, I generally tend to build just large enough not to be uncomfy.

Well, I really wanted to give this place a headquarters kind of feel. A base that has everything I need to just mess around without having to care about anything, where I can retreat to when I need to recover from the mental scars I obtained in the depths of the ocean.
Spoiler:
For example, I was in the Grand Reef for the Alien Containment scans and found a few aluminum oxide crystals, so I left the Seamoth to harvest them. It was night and I was pretty deep, so the water around me was absolutely pitch black and the lights of the Seamoth didn't penetrate it very far.

As I was swimming around I heard a faint thump, as if someone was hitting a big drum. But because it sounded very distant, I didn't really pay much attention to it.

Then it grew louder, and louder.

Then I saw a big shape in the darkness. It moved.

I spent the rest of the evening redecorating my base.

I thought those were supposed to patrol the Void.

Man I hope that is not the void monster. I was picturing the void monster to be some kind of super reaper all fucked up and bloated with the Carar bacterium, and all you ever see are its eyes before it fucking destroys your cyclops and kills you. The void would be way less scary if the only threat glowed brightly

Not a Reaper, probably.
Some kind of Leviathan, but not a Reaper. Reapers are for fucking with the Seamoth.

On one hand having another player to share the load with, as well as ride along with you in the Cyclops sub would be pretty awesome, but it would also probably reduce immersion somewhat

I mean immersion breaking in that I will be less absorbed in starting at the foggy water and listening for the slightest sound of a predator if i have a friend i can see nearby to chat with. Maybe less intense or scary was a better way to put it, i dunno.

It is most likely that he mostly finished the cage, baited the monster in a small opening and then quickly swam around to place the final piece and lock him in. That or he just spawned it

I finally found the final parts I needed for the Cyclops. This thing is pretty amazing, but holy shit is it hard to drive. I accidentally smashed my Moonpool to pieces because I kept slamming into it with the tail.

I also upgraded my Seamoth to be able to go down to 900m. Now that I can go basically anywhere I please in this ocean, I suddenly feel like I don't know what to do next.

There's deeper.

And maybe set your cyclops up with the good shit, interior growbeds, fabricators, like 50 lockers, that sort of shit.

I thought those were the Reaper Leviathans at first. I only recently realized they're way too small for that.

Which also means I have yet to actually run into a Reaper Leviathan.

If you want to see a Reaper, go hang out by the Aurora. You'll know when you see one.
The teleporting things are fittingly called "Warpers".
