> Had to update. I loaded up the Cyclops full of resources and headed down to the Active Lava Zone. I’ve started a base on top of the prison, with glass walkways out to an observatory in the middle of the area, so I can watch the sea dragon swim by. Outside of that and the reinforced multipurpose room stacks full of aquariums, I haven’t gotten much done. I don’t really need any lighting giving the natural illumination, so I’m not sure what else I’ll do. Dodging the leviathan while building made for an exciting challenge.

I might build a secondary base down there at some point. There hasn’t really been much reason to, so far, because my Cyclops is basically a mobile mini-base–it’s self-powered, has its own food/water supply, has storage and fabrication, and so on. Now that it’s not invulnerable, though, I may want a backup plan.

I really liked exploring the lost river system and collecting the various resources down there too. Was really interesting. Or the sunken islands. Like you, I’m going to wait to finally finish off the game until they fully release the game for version 1.

I’ve explored everything up to and including the generator facility, while not actually advancing the plot much–I’m pretty sure the Gun hasn’t even fired yet. (Which makes me wonder if it’s possible to “save” the ship just by not answering your phone. :D) Like you guys, I’m trying to leave the rest for the full release.
