Map planning notes
The strongest map workflow starts with a goal: gather a resource, scan a fragment, recover a black box, compare base locations, or check whether a biome is safe for your current oxygen and tools.
Look up copper, quartz, silver, gold, plants, and upgrade materials before leaving your base. A quick map check helps you group nearby resources into one safer route instead of making repeated trips.
Use the map and black box guide together when a technology route stalls. Check likely biomes, scanner targets, recovery paths, and nearby hazards before committing to a longer swim.
Compare terrain, resource access, travel distance, biome depth, and creature pressure before building. A good base spot should shorten common routes without forcing every trip through dangerous water.
