Propulsion cannon locations.
Anyone know any safe propulsion cannon locations I can go to? (No big ass killers like the Reaper..)

Unfortunatly for you "Someplace without reaper spam" hopes, the primary areas the propulsion cannon fragments spawn in are the Aurora's general vicinity.

I'll double check wreck listings though, I think they can show up in some quieter wrecks if the RNG allowes it.

For future reference. Building a bio reactor triggers the lifepod 12 signal from the com relay. What does this have to do with the propulsion cannon? Lifepod 12 is the closest access to the REPULSION cannon databox, to upgrade your prop cannon.

(Build a thermal plant ASAP once you get the chance for more handy dandy "Wow, I really need that" lifepod signal triggers)

EDIT: okay. So there are some other wrecks it CAN spawn in, but the RNG may be a jerk on fragment spawns.

Grassy Plateau:
-25 -88 -615
320 -66 431

Underwater Islands:
-102 -179 860

Thanks, I heard there's some near the floating island although I doubt it

Not the southern floating island, but if you head north to the mountain island, the head west, out from the beach, you will come across several floating islands down at about 100m deep.

On one of them is a wreck. Around and inside this wreck, you should find all the fragments you need for the propulsion cannon and the stasis rifle.

This will be the underwater islands wreck ImHelping mentioned above.

ALl around the ship, and when it comes to the reapers, just move to the side when they charge you. Honestly all the AI is pretty weak at this point.

Sandsharks are also in this area, if you need venture near a reaper, first get a sandy or two following, dodge Mr. Reaper and he'll eat the sandsharks for you, use this to explore this area (with a seaglide - helps, ALOT) you can net PRO fragments, eneough to craft 3 Tit. ingots from, along with some other randomised fragments.

I made an extra sea moth as a sacrifice to Reaper-san if he chooses to fondle me with his muscular face.

There's like a billion fragments around the Aurora in random boxes. All you have to do is look at reapers before they charge also. They will only grab you from the side/back. If you look directly at them, they'll generally try to circle around for a better angle to grab you.

It is kind of hard to do when they just come clipping straight out of a wall though...

Apparently to get rid of a reaper all you have to do is build a multipurpose room in front of it..

That works too LOL. I don't like to use glitches to my advantage if I can avoid it though.

Nobody should need a guide for it now... It is literally everywhere.

I wrote a guide about crafting and using the Propulsion Cannon. Hopefully someone finds it helpful.

along the west side of the aurora. reapers are at the fore and aft sections of the aurora. you will be on the port side of the ship. might find a few other blueprints there, maybe a time capsule or two, and a ♥♥♥♥ ton of scrap metal
