But you haven't "jumped the storyline" as much as you do when you go to the island first. If an internal link referred you to this page, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article. Of course, at this point the island gives you "only" the alien tablet, the growbeds, plant samples, and the Bulkhead blueprint. This is a disambiguation page, intended to distinguish between articles of similar subject or title. At the lifepod you find a PDA with the rendesvous coordinates, which will lead you to the nearby island. Around pod 19 you will find Rubys and Gel Sacks, allowing you to construct Aerogel and thus the Thermal Power Plant and the Water Filtration Machine. You will be pointed toward the floating island shortly afterwards, via the Lifepod 19 event (Second Officer Keene). That seabase has Multipurpose Rooms, Observatory, Water Filtration Machine, Double Bed, Wall Planter, Spotlight, a databox, several PDAs (5 IIRC), and scattered around it several scanable items, usually including the Thermal Power Plant.


That one will give you the location of the Proposed Degasi Seabase (250m), in a different section of the Grassy Plateaus. If you dont get all 3 fragments, go to red zone close to aurora. If you listen to the message from pod 17, it actually mentions seamoth. If you explore that a bit (and who wouldn't, there's Shale Outcrops, Lithium, and Magnetite to be had), you will find a platform with a couple of cargo boxes and an Abandoned PDA. Id start with pod 17 (always one fragment next to it), and just search around in the grass near it. When you are getting close to pod 17 (Grassy Plateau, the one with the red grass), your PDA tells you about a "nearby cave system" - that's the Jellyshroom Caves, the one with the big pink mushrooms (and the Crabsnakes.). you usually get Lifepod 3 (damaged seaglide), then Lifepod 17 (Ozzy). If you're like me, AND want the more "juicy" location.

I dislike "jumping" the storyline for an early trip to the floating island.
