Very good chance to find engines here but you'll have to worry about a reaper and a few warpers. Third option - around the base and sides of the mountain isalnd. Have to deal with spiders too but you can run past them. A reaper patrols near the Aurora entrance but super easy to avoid. Only mentioning it because RNG will sometimes bless you with an engine part and its also closer than the third option so might as well hit it next. Its a very low chance to find any parts here. Second place would be inside the main cargo hold of the Aurora. There is a reaper in the area but you'll hear it long before you see it so can normally be avoided quite easily. You can usually get at least 3 parts here if you put in the time looking for them. If you're careful and use the terrain to your advantage that shouldnt be an issue though.įirst place I'd go is towards the rear of the Aurora, very good chance of engine parts spawning in the sandy areas to the sides and behind the Auroras thrusters. This base however is purely for lore purposes and does not appear in-game.Unfortunately for you the first areas that come to mind are near leviathons. In the cinematic trailer, it is revealed that Bart Torgal built himself a Seabase in what appears to be the Crash Zone or Safe Shallows. Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material. It requires a radiation suit and ideally should be done with a Seamoth, as there is a radiation field around the perimeter. The 'landing' inside is shallow enough to provide some safety for embarking and disembarking. If attempting to enter the Aurora, it only takes a brief trip through deeper waters, although a Reaper Leviathan can frequently be found west of the entrance.

The safest way to cross the Crash Zone is to follow the Safe Shallows as close as possible, then stick to the shallowest parts of the area. This small area contains a good amount of Limestone and Sandstone Outcrops.

The harvesting nodes typically found in the area makes this biome a good source for raw crafting materials.Ī portion of the Bulb Zone goes into the Crash Zone, near Aurora's front section.

The biome makes up for this, however, with a wide variety of fauna, most of which being predatory - including the dangerous Reaper Leviathans. The Crash Zone possesses a distinct sandy, murky tint of water, and is nearly devoid of Flora, though the western part that borders the Safe Shallows shares some of its flora. Also, flocks of Skyrays populate this area. There is a large amount of dry land on the eastern side of the Aurora which has plenty of debris and Metal Salvage. The Crash Zone is located on the easternmost part of the map, surrounded by a Kelp Forest, Safe Shallows, the Bulb Zone, a Mushroom Forest, the Crag Field, and a Grassy Plateaus.
