I completely got lost about the story campaign cause i spent all the time exploring buildin my base upgrading my stuff and now i dont know what to do.The last 2 story related (i think) things i did were: (SPOILER ALERT)Meeting with a supposed rescue ship it had like a 15 minute timer or something. It got shot down btw,Also i found a PDA in a land island that led me to an abandoned base in a jellyshroom with white snakes area. Now i dont know where to go theres no pointers and no more radio calls giving me clues.

The Plant contains a blue tablet (scan it first), and the Containment Facility holds the continuation of the story. You'll need 2 blue tablets (the one you picked up/scanned, + 1 more crafted from a fabricator) to get in. If you need location info, you can check a wiki or YouTube.This was the part I got lost on when I first played, too. I couldn't find the entrance of the Plant for the life of me for like 10 straight hours of searching purely for it. I eventually just looked up a YouTube video of its location. < > Showing 1-15 of 21 comments Suzaku View Profile View Posts 26 Sep, 2019 @ 6:18pm The Sunbeam (the ship that was sent to rescue you) is quite in pieces at the moment. The point of meeting it was to bring you to an island for you to explore. I think you might be able to turn the meeting location back on in your PDA.The PDAs that you get are meant to give you some info, but it starts getting more vague with directions, often giving nothing more than a depth to search through. At this point, your main objective is to go deeper, or find a way to go deeper if you can't at the moment. This means searching biomes for fragments to unlock new blueprints, and searching wreckage for new upgrades.You'll be needing the moonpool, the vehicle upgrade console, a modification station, the prawn suit, and maybe the cyclops. Keep your wits about you. It gets dangerous the deeper you go, but the answers lie below. #1 Nami View Profile View Posts 26 Sep, 2019 @ 6:28pm

So i just need to go deeper and the campaign will keep advancing? theres some area in complete darkness that i try to go deep but some ghost leviathans always gank me, going silent using shields or the bate beacons dont work. #3 The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

If you did you should have gotten a PDA entry with some hints about other facility locations. #7 [*~MAJA~*] Mandragoron View Profile View Posts 27 Sep, 2019 @ 1:38pm you realy should check all pod numbers, they are all placed in new areas for advancing t he story, if you dont know what to do next get the next pod etc... #8 General Idea View Profile View Posts 27 Sep, 2019 @ 2:45pm Have you followed the Degasi storyline and found their bases? You said you went to the floating island and then on to the Jellyshroom cave with the Crabsnakes. Did you pick up all the pda's and was there a mention of a even deeper base? (SPOILER ALERT)Alien Tablets are items required to disable Forcefield Controls in Alien Bases and other alien structures, like Sanctuary Caches. The most common is purple, but you will also need to find and scan for the orange and blue tablets. #9 nemuro976 View Profile View Posts 30 Oct, 2019 @ 10:42am I am unfortunately in the same situation.I've looted Lifepods: 19, 3, 17, 13, 12 and following databank clues, lifepods 4. 6. 7.Visited Floating island and its 3 bases, looted everything, maybe a PDA or two escaped...(SPOILER ALERT !!!!!)Went inside the proposed Degasi base, understand they are two? but I only have one on my PDA so that's what I looted.Visited Gun Island and witnessed the ship being taken down by the cannon, am I supposed to go and loot the wreckage of the rescue ship?Went inside the gun island structure, as well inside the cave, but aside from getting stung (did self scan but nothing happened after it said I'm infected) and getting two purple tablets and a schematic for them, ion cube, etc, I didn't seem to be able to do much here or in the cave in the island, couldn't activate the portal or have them do anything worthwhile.Then seeing no radio messages happen, I went to Aurora got Prawn schematics, stopped the radiation and fixed fissures, and looted everything and even the captain's quarters (got some sort of a rocket/capsule schematic to get off the island?) Looking in the Data Log, I have Alien Facility Locations mentioning "Disease Research" 800m and "Thermal Power Facility" 1200m.Is the Disease Research at the base of the gun Island? Am I supposed to just go there or first progress by a radio message?*later edit, also SPOILER ALERT!!!*I remember I have entered the portal in the cave on the gun island, a few times not realizing what it does aside from extending those pillars, and later when I left the island I remember encountering the alien that looked at me with glowing eyes, but I somehow fled, being scared Its going to kill me, at that point I've started feeling the story stopped progressing.

Have you been to the Toxic River? #11 nemuro976 View Profile View Posts 30 Oct, 2019 @ 11:06am No, is something supposed to lead me there? because I have a cyclops and prawn, and can definitely youtube my way there, but I would still want to advance the story naturally, as it's quite nice.Re-iterating my last edit:*later edit, also SPOILER ALERT!!!*I remember I have entered the portal in the cave on the gun island, a few times not realizing what it does aside from extending those pillars, and later when I left the island I remember encountering the alien that looked at me with glowing eyes, but I somehow fled, being scared Its going to kill me, at that point I've started feeling the story stopped progressing.
