A well-hidden sloop.

[🎮AliveSince1961🎮]

Inside a cave, my scanner detects a sloop right in front of me, but I can't see it. It's as if it's inside a rock that I can't blow up. I'm at position -2299, -1144, I've only found one entrance to the cave and this cave is very narrow with few tunnels.

Any idea if there's another entrance nearby?

I’m not home, so I can’t look, but there have been some in really hard to find spots, like I thought I found the entrance for it.. nope just a purple slug.
I found the real entrance in time but wasn’t easy.

Thanks for the link.

So there is only one entrance. It seems to be very difficult to reach, as I can see there is a small gap near the floor and I am too fat to slide in.

I'll keep looking as there may be a crack near the ceiling.

Unfortunately, some minor caves are not marked on this map.
If I'm not mistaken, the 137.233 / -156.060 / 161 Somersloop is inside such a hidden cave

Bring in some electricity, and a hoverpack, then go to the sloops location, aim your cross hair at the sloop while hovering, and you should be able to reach it, right through the obstacle.

Hover packs include a very extended reach for the pioneer, I use this to access things that are 'blocked' all the time.

I finally found it, a big stinger was blocking the way.

How could I have missed this beast?

I'll try it next time.

Good tip.

Thanks, its also worth noting that hover packs let you reach containers and structures, as well as lootable objects, like berries, or crash sites from a good distance as well. Great when exploring. Just bring materials for lots of power poles and power lines.

If you're in the cave I'm thinking of, it's just a maze with many dead ends and false passages, with the route forward often very hard to see. Inside the first chamber, your scanner will say the sloop is right in front of you, but you actually need to turn around and find the path deeper into the cave behind you. You have to do this about four items as you run into dead ends with hidden branches before them.

It's the cave in the rocky desert area, just north of the river, right? -230990, -106792 or so?

Yeah, the coordinates seams right. It have two blue mushrooms in it. I found it but only when I reach a dead end and when I turn around the passage was visible from that angle.

That's a good idea, I just cover my entire map in power lines so I can fly everywhere and anywhere.

For those who's still looking for this well hidden cave, entrance is at 129/-143 at around height 150.
look for a hatcher defending a blue slime near the entrance. Then you'll have to face few spitters, find *another** hidden path (blue slimes will yet again show the way) and face some stingers.
