Fulgora - recycling - vault ruin
Hello-
I have recently arrived at Fulgura. I understand that in order to unlock recycling, you have to mine a vault ruin. I am finding this ruin hard to find, and wondering if I can get some tips.....

Thanks.

Walk around and look for it. Some islands have lots of ruins some have none

Exactly, this is why previewing seeds are important. You can preview all the worlds before starting.

You should be able to make a deconstruct planner that only targets vaults, right?
Then you just scan the whole map with that planner and find one, or keep exploring if none are there yet.

Alt-click somewhere to open ingame wiki. Then look for the vault with search and you'll know what it looks like. (It is an object as big as a rocket silo)

You can yet many don't. Some from not knowing they can and others for want of a "surprise" when they land. Some don't even preview Nauvis in 1.1. I ain't one of them, but I know some anyway.

you can find ruins on the small island, they are almost fully covered in mineable scrap

Add one person to that count. Before starting a SA game, I picked default settings, rerolled the seed 5 times, did not preview it and started.

It's the most fun map I have ever played (Nauvis). They really did some magic with the map creator. Nice choke points, some islands, cliffs that can easily be used as natural walls with the help of some walls filling the small holes.

For the other 2 planets I visited so far, I feel like it was a mediocre seed. But then I have nothing to compare to. Only thing I know is that if someone handpicked the starting point of the same maps to make my life easier, I would have started in very different locations.

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep wandering around, like in concentric circles around my drop point. Here and there I place radars. It's nice to know how big it is (like a launching pad, thanks.)

Ok, I found it. Thanks again.
