Map

## About

The map consists of several different biomes, scattered with wrecks, bunkers, caves, and a bunch of crates.

## Coordinates

On the bottom left corner of your screen is a set of three numbers, for example: *154:10:400*.

These represent the following: *X:Y:Z*

* X - South to North
* Y - Vertical
* Z - East to West

On the bottom right is a set of three values, for example: *v0.6.007 (4 : 60)*

These represent the following: *VER (GQL : FPS)*

* VER - Game version
* GQL (Graphic Quality Level) - 0: Low - 1: Medium - 2: High - 3: Very High - 4: Ultra - 5: Maximum
* FPS - Your frames per second

## Mapping Screen

To use the Mapping Screen you will need to find  Blueprint Microchips in wrecks and unlock the GPS Satellite T1. To zoom out further, you will need to launch GPS Satellite T2 and GPS Satellite T3. Rocket GPS Satellite T4 allows you to increase the field of view and scroll the map.

You will also need a Launch Platform to launch the satellite into the orbit. You can then use the Map screen in the area you want to see the map.

## Areas

With a couple of exceptions (the starting areas and some others named in update notes), most area names are not official.

### Starting Valley

* The standard starting area. Later turns into a huge Lake.

### **Ancient City**

* South-Southwest of Dune Desert, Northwest of Sulphur Fields, Northeast of Sand Falls

### Arches

* South of the Highlands and at the top of the Sand Falls.

### Balcony

* Directly above Iridium Mine, only accessible by a climbing Flora vine. Or climbing/jumping up the space ship wreck's engine South West of the Standard start location.

### Cenote

* An underwater biome that can be accessed at the top of the meteor crater

### Central Plateau

* A large raised area near the Starting Valley, approximately at the middle of the current map.

### Cracked Spires

* Southeast of the map. Connected to the Starting Valley with a small ravine, and borders the Aluminium Hills.

### Dune Desert

* North-West of the Central Plateau, stretches to the north. (Named as ‘Dunes’ in the 2021-11-10 update notes.) Contains the Super Alloy cave and the mysterious great stone doors.

### Gate Desert

* Eastern side of the map. Contains a few large sinkholes.

### The Grand Rift

* One of the choosable alternative starting points. Northeast of the map, primarily connected to the Aluminium Hills via mountain pass.

### Iridium Mine

* Between the Central Plateau and Sulphur Fields. Filled with  Iridium and the only way to climb up to access the Balcony.

### Labyrinth Canyons

* North of the Central Plateau. (Named as ‘Canyons’ in the 2021-09-09 patch notes.)

### Meteor Crater

* Southwest of the map, isolated by rock walls. One of the alternative starting points. Becomes a lake later in the game.

### Meteor Field

* Southeast of the map, between Wasteland and Waterfall.

### Mushroom River

* Underground, connected to Meteor Field and Waterfall.

### Sand Falls

* One of the alternative starting points in the South-West. Main feature is the eponymous flow of falling sand. Borders the Sulfur Fields.

### Sulfur Fields

* East of the Sand Falls. Connected to the Iridium Mine and Steep Hill via ice tunnels.

### Wasteland

* Southeast of the map, separated from other areas by rock formations. Primarily accessible via ice tunnel.

### Waterfall

* South of the map, between Meteor Crater and Meteor Field.

### Zeolite Cave

* Between Arches and Meteor Crater. Only renewable source of Zeolite.

## Trivia

Previously, in a quirk of the game's chosen co-ordinates, the map is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise (to the left). This means that when using a compass microchip, North technically runs to the left side of most maps, while East goes to the top of the map. This is no longer the case at least as of 0.6.00 and possibly sooner; upwards on the map corresponds to North as expected.

Coordinates 0:y:0 are in the Meteor Field, northwest of the border between Cracked Spires and Wasteland.

Arches, Meteor Crater, Balcony and Zeolite Cave, as well as four mineral caves, were added in Update 0.4.11: Caves and Crater.

Meteor Field, Mushroom River and Waterfall were added in the update 0.5.005: Insects and Waterfall.
