About Sunbeam and the very big sea monsters

[Sunbeam]

I wait until Sunbeam to arrive but after the time's up, it seems the location's signal lost.
So, is it crashed? Can I go to the crash site or it's just a narrative?

By the way, I tend to go some places and see the big monster that destroy my Seamoth for many times. Is it the Leviathan? Is that means I shouldn't explore further until I reach a particular part of the story?
Anyway, I notice that if I leave the Seamoth and swim away, then swim back, my Seamoth won't completely destroyed so I can repair it to 100%.
I got 2 Cyclop's part og blueprint and afterwards I met the very big monster > Not sure is this relevant?

Just part of the story, you can't visit the wreck.

Depends on what you mean with big monster, if you got a message talking about an ecological dead zone, you reached the edge of the map.

If you were there to meet the Sunbeam when it arrived, you'd have watched it get blasted out of the sky by a very large gun. Literally turned to dust. Nothing left.

Leviathans are scattered around the map. They can be mostly avoided, but seeing them doesn't mean you're in a place you shouldn't be unless you try to continue way off the map. Try not to leave vehicles near them.

The Cyclops is a large, durable vessel ideal for use as a mobile base. Some people love it, some hate it. Find all the parts, build it, and see for yourself which camp you fall into.

3 possible things happen to the Sunbeam.

If you are there and the gun is still active, there is a radio conversation between the crew and it blows up. If you aren't there and the gun is still active, the PDA says something and the ship blows up. It both cases, there is no actual wreck or debris.

The third possible thing that happens requires you to shut off the cannon before the ship arrives (and before the countdown even begins - there is a bug if you shut the cannon down while the countdown is active). In that case, the crew say there is too much debris in orbit to land, so they leave you and say they will contact Alterra.

Thanks guys!
I don't know which comment I should mark as answer because all of them help me all

Do you think if I just see the Sunbeam event, should i have to be able to create Cyclop?
I just wonder if I wander away from the story too much haha

In order to create the Cyclops you need to scan the fragments. You can find them in the world.

Mostly around the Aurora, which is where Reapers are gonna be found that can and WILL break the Seamoth if allowed.

You can find all the cyclops parts without ever going into reaper territory.

The Hull and Bridge are extremely easy to complete within the Mushroom Forest. I've seen something like 12 Bridge Fragments while exploring it, somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 Hull Fragments.

I could only get a single Engine Fragment while inside the Aurora -- there's a particular room that can spawn between 0 and 3 Engine Fragments. Unfortunately I had to sneak around below the first Reaper on the south west corner of the Aurora Stern to get the other 2.

There does seem to be some variance in what Fragments can spawn where in a given biome. Multiple Let's Plays I've watched have had different numbers and locations of each Fragment.

There are several engine fragments in the Crag Field, and all other parts can be found on the Sea Treader's Path.

By the way, how do you know which part of the world you re in? and how do you know the name?

I see a lot of people talking about location's name but I have no idea when they know the name

[steventirey]

There are maps you can find online. In game, the biomes are all pretty distinctive, so you know when you've passed from one to another.

As for the names, it should be pretty obvious. The Sea Treader's Path is where you find the sea treader leviathans. Bloodvines (a type of kelp) grows in the Blood Kelp Forest. The Underwater Islands biome has... right. Underwater islands.

Finding out where those biomes are is part of the game. (Or, just find a map online.)

May be I haven't reached much of different places so that's why it confusing for me.

Like Steventirey said the names are quite obvious and easy to remember.
Surface biomes:
Safe Shallows: Shallow waters and quite safe.
Grassy plateaus: Plateaus covered in red grass.
Kelp forest: Sort of underwater forest of green Kelp vines.
Crash Zone: The zone in which the Aurora crashed.
Sea treaders path: Where the Sea treaders are.
Dunes: Underwater dunes of sand.
Underwater islands: Floating islands under water.
Blood kelp zones: The areas with the white blood kelp.
The Grand reef: Big blue balls.
Bulb zone: Big balls covered in disco-dip.
Mushroom forest: A forest of large mushrooms.
Crag field: Large rock formations.
Sparse reef: Also large rock formations.

Not gonna tell you about the biomes underneath. Might spoil too much.
