thermal vent safe shallow

[sad_drone]

Hello, i decided i wanted to place my first proper base near thermal vent, but for some reason i cannot find vent near the northern end of the staring safe shallows (that one near life pod). Was it removed in some patch ?

I normally build my safe shallows tower near one of the safe shallows vents myself. What may be throwing you off is the fact the lifepod does not always land in the same spot. One time my save dropped my life pod right near where I build that base, about 100m from the vent. another time it dropped me 200m away from there, etc.

I'll pop on my save in experimental and see if the particular vent im thinking of is still there.

EDIT: Yup, the one roughly at 20, -80, 250 is still there for me right by my baby base. However, this is not the vent near the crashed lifepod (but hey, that means it's farther away from reaper spawns)

EDIT Two: The vent by the alternate lifepod 3 (The one with the compass, that you don't get a signal for) is still there as well.

ah, okay, i thought that life pod always lands in same spot, that explains a lot :D

It's perfectly understandable.

Building a thermal generator is also useful in the long run for breadcrumbs reasons. It causes the trigger for the com relay to give you the signal to lifepod 2, which has a cyclops MK 1 hull upgrade and is pretty close to where Ienter the lost river and reach the some of the plot locations from.

(also build a bio reactor even if you do not need one, for the signal leading to the closest repulsion gun upgrade).

the one near the lifepod is southern
