Open World Styx Passages
I have an open world game in Styx where I am based in the M9 and M8 forest area. There seems to be some kind of passage on the map at M7 and L7 to pass into the snow biome. However when going there it just a giant rock wall on the forest side. On the snow side it looks like its a rock wall that gets blasted open or something. I am aware that I can get to the snow biome through the desert to the south but it is too long of a journey to be hauling back resources. Is this passage unlocked by a mission? Also has someone put together a comprehensive list of caves/passages opened up by missions? Thanks.

The passages in styx are essentially through caves (recognizable because there are no worms). Crossing points are very limited

Some Pasge must be Cleared with mision i saw that on The Interaktive map after 2 Hour searching for the Cave.

- Completing MAELSTROM will unlock the D9 tunnel cave
- Completing RICOCHET will unlock the J13-K13 tunnel cave
- Completing VERTIGO will unlock the H5 tunnel cave
- Completing ZEPHYR will unlock access to the Ring Lake area

Thanks for posting that list. I just learned myself by browsing discord discussions that the zephyr mission will only unlock the rock wall for new open world sessions, not current ones. Ill have to see for myself soon.

What terrible design. So "Open World" is basically unplayable unless you slog through the missions first?

Any way to cheat past it so we can actually play Open World?

no, because the game was to be inteded as a time based survival, but because everyone is such ♥♥♥♥♥ these days, this game has now changed from real world timed survival into a building simulator lol...

No, you have to do missions, because they unlock more stuff and you can buy more workshop stuff, which is the main progression of the game...

So you only get to play the Open World once you have eliminated all challenge from it? Alright, if that's the type of game you enjoy, all power to you mate. I hoped for a fun progression survival game, because that's what they advertised Open World as being. Guess they cater to the people like you that want it all on easy mode.
This is ridiculous. I have an Open World that isn't open. I cant reach the Sand Biome since the path is blocked and after I take 4 hours to complete the stupid mission that should open it, I still can't reach it. I dont want to start a new Open World map- Me and my friends have built at least 15 hours each on two different bases. Fix this- just remove all the blockading blocks (on all Open World Maps) on passages that lead to the different biomes completely. Dont force us to play the stupid missions, they are just soooo freaking boring.

I second that opinion, i have spent 40 hours in a open world session and have used up most ores within an hour walking distance. I WANT OUT. Just spent 10 hours doing Zephyr and had some fun but was really looking forward to the pathway opening for my open world, it did not. I'm okay with being forced to play missions to open paths but make it retroactive.
I found a way, but it still leaves me without the ores in the cave and it took me and a friend two hours to achieve. We built a ramp over the stupid mountain ;)

Walk into the wall facing the snow biome and hit "unstuck".
