How do i get out of the subterranean area?

[Garfield Senpai]

Everywhere i go is just a dead end, i came from the sewage area to the dark and red area, and now im stuck at the part after it at the place with the giant robot chickens

Well there's 2 exits. All the way to the right leads to shoreline, below somewhat close to Farm arrays leads to Drainage. Wait you actually said you came from drainage, sorry.

Anyway if you're going to the end and have already met Pebbles, just go below from filtration until you find the depths.

Thanks, though i havent met anyone named "Pebbles"

Or anyone at all xD

Oh then you definitely want to go to shoreline, it's a bit rough from where you are though.

That's a late game area you're in (yeah you can randomly wander in)

Usually the little yellow buddy you have(we call him iggy) tells you where to go by showing a slugcat face, but he doesn't appear in certain areas.

In shoreline you will find an NPC, then you get pointed at another area by iggy where you'll find pebbles, and he'll explain certain things.

Yeah this lack of direction is what I was pointing out in my review.

Beware: going back to drainage requires swimming mastery;
going to shoreline requires very precise movement to avoid centipedes, leviathan and dozen of angry scavs;
going to farms requires plentiful of (not leaves) spears;
going to filtration requires a lamp (or neuronal enlightenment).

Either all of this, or you can just get very determined and lucky

Feels bad man, if it makes you feel better I went to filtration first, made my way to here and then after getting stuck and looking it up, found out I was at the end and it was impossible for me to progress any further. Now I'm just stuck at a place I'm not supposed to be I guess? Seems like bad game design.

the game is not linear and wants you to explore, you can end up in a late game region as your 3rd region if you go drainage system, this is very good design, reminds me of going early deepnest in hollow knight
