We need to use all of the resources you gather at some point, so stay ahead of the complicated crafting craziness to reduce that annoyance. If you see a blue bladderfish (it looks vaguely like a pair of lungs swimming), chase it and grab it. For now, sneak by any Stalkers and grab a couple yellow seeds from a creepvine. They love to play with metal salvage which also knocks loose some of their teeth (more on that later). They are slower than you strafe to avoid them for now. They look like horizontal seahorses and like to get bite-y. Creepvines provide you a source of fiber and yellow seeds they also provide a natural habitat to your first predator, a Stalker.
You do have some leeway but not much.Ī little further away from your pod, you soon encounter your next biome, the Creepvine Forests.
Keep an eye on your O2, obviously running the meter down results in dying. You should encounter one of the very few tutorial messages, 'Break Limestone.' Doing so gives you either titanium or copper. Nearby should be some small wreckage called Metal Salvage which can be processed into 4 titanium using the Fabricator. This biome is the Safe Shallows, almost no danger or depth.
