Nameless-Free Areas In The South
Are there areas in the south (blue area) that Nameless don't spawn? For example, the Crystalline Swamps wiki doesn't list them as a spawn but I suspect this is an omission.

They spawn in all places. You can grow z plants, and as long as you have a pet on. You can live there peacefully.

I still recommend mixing in some turrets tho.

I have heard/read there are some areas, but I have yet to see proof of it ...

If you live high up in these areas they dont spawn but on the ground you need species z

Unproven Alternative: Multiple bulbdogs. Make sure their timers overlap for constant shield.
I had my first -terrifying- encounter with these on a bad body recover.
As someone itching and terrified to explore these blue areas, any reasonable suggestions for a solo player on going in? So far I'm planning to take a meaty HP ride in with an escort of probably 20 raptors/ravagers as well as a prefab base for swift deployment. I'm also floating the idea of a rock ledge platform. As well as flares/glowsticks and a few guns with enough bullets to bleed out godzilla..

It does not matter how large of an area you cover with charge lights.

It only matters if players have the charged buff or not.

Putting some plant z outside your base are not needed. Just put a few inside down the center of each floor or something like that to provide yourself we with the buff at all times you're inside. If you go out, take a light pet.
What I did for my tribe was designate a "log out" zone with beds and plants there and I spread plants around the house as well to basically give a large coverage of every hot spot in the house (crafting stations, storage bins, whatever) then I raised a light pet and only raised emission range and regen and stuck him in the middle of the house. Since I did that I've never seen nameless around my base!
cliff platforms on a cliff face you can walk up to from the gaint roots in blue biome is good for no nameless and fast safish trasit across bluebiome

3 high level Spinos are well enough, if you don't want to have to manage and order around 20 dinos ... My Spinos wreck Nameless without debuffing them with light.
Also, since Spinos have aoe on their bites, they can also hit Nameless while they are burrowed, and deal full damage to them regardless of charge light presence.

noticed via dino finder mods, that there are indeed spots without nameless. however... if nameless FOLLOWS you, the spot they stopped is where they'll be next time, or to remake dead ones... always (and thier levels are the same too... so far).

This guy built in the lowest area possible and claims no nameless spawn there. So there is at least one area free of them.

Skip to about 4:55 to see it.

On that, I just got a blueprint for those, can they be built fairly close to eachother? I may try a few in a row for farming sake of the blue zones. Still dunno where to find red crystals, though I did learn in a rather harsh way that the surface has strict access (No picking ones way to the surface)

You get red crystals from roll rats. (They occasionally pull them up after they dig.)

Once you have your first 20 you can make a gas collector. Then you can use the gas to make a hazard suite. And use the hazard suite to go to the pink/red areas where these gems spawn in large quantities.
Edge zones they do not spawn in
