Second Rock Pile Information
A number of players (including me) had a LOT of trouble finding the second rock pile at the end of chapter two with the sea people. This is one way to find the rock pile if you've left the area. (No spoilers of what happens next).

After much searching, I was convinced it was a bug. Many games have event tags that allow you to force the end of an event in case of a bug, so I searched for that online. This is a new game, so there wasn't much hope of finding this.

(TL;DR -- it's not a bug, just insanely hard to find the rock pile again if you leave the area).

I did not find anything to force an event to end, so I decided to load a trainer / cheat that would make it easier for me to search under water for the rock pile. I chose the one at WeMod, which can be found here: https://www.wemod.com/cheats/dave-the-diver-trainers

You install the mod (I'm using a Windows PC, but I did see other trainers for other devices) and then configure the toggles however you like on your desktop before starting the game (screenshot) https://gyazo.com/3813989d4bf4cea9656343a379e3d3c5.bmp

For example, I set my oxygen toggle to the letter "o" on the keyboard. The default is "off" which is normal oxygen usage. If you click the toggle while diving, your oxygen is set to your maximum and does not decrease.

I then clicked the "play" button in WeMod and the game starts as usual but with the toggles enabled (defaulted to "off"). When I started diving, I clicked on "o" on my keyboard and a sound pings indicating it worked. My oxygen then stayed at maximum no matter what I did. That means you don't take damage either. If I click "o" a second time, I toggled to normal oxygen use. (You can use any key to set your toggle, but set it before starting the game)

I was then able to dive down to the depths and meticulously search until I found the sea people again. The second rock pile was still there. Earlier without the cheat, I swam to the left (got lost and never found it again). This time, I swam right, up through one short passage of tube worms, and there was the second spike in the rocks (to the left). I pulled that out and was able to continue with the story.

For me, using this cheat will be a GAME CHANGER. Sometimes I want the challenge of limited oxygen, but sometimes, just want to look around and explore.

Note to devs --- please do NOT remove the location of the rock piles from the locator after the player removes the first pile of rocks. If for any reason the player swims away from that area, it is ridiculously hard to find it a second time without the locator.
Just leave the locator enabled until the second pile of rocks is removed.
