Procedural Wrecks?
That's what ultimately made me buy the game. I have a pretty good grasp on it now and have been exploring...I feel like the wrecks I found (the major ships) were all preplaced there, especially because a map I found had the same ships in the same orientation. So like...where are the procedural wrecks? What am I missing?

The basic map is static, and all the wrecks are in the same place for everyone. The procedural wrecks are a late-game feature. You end up being able to build a scanner that scans the planet for far away wrecks that you can't reach on foot. The destinations are supposedly procedurally generated and if you "pay" with the proper resources, a portal will take you to them. Some of these destinations are brand new biomes and very pretty. Each destination contains one or two shipwrecks that you have to find and explore. The shipwrecks are like labyrinths.

In a nutshell -

- You transport off-map
- There are new wrecks that you have to poke around a bit to find
- There is new stuff to find and 'loot rooms' with safes containing aforementioned stuff plus Terratokens
- Number of safes matches difficulty e.g. level 4 has 4 safes in the loot room
- Layouts of wreck interior will change on revisiting same biome

One thing I'd correct ot FallingOut's post. I found a site with three wrecks and that was only a difficulty level 2 so no tangible pattern.
