how do you find Tangaroa island> what do you have to do

im having trouble finding Tangaroa island can anyone help?

By first going to Caravan Island, finding code for Tangaroa then imputing the code on your receiver and receiver will show where Tangaroa is.

thank you but its been hard ive been to like so many islands small large etc. but still havent reached it yet :( ive been playing it for days now and nothing..... so ya im at a loss.....

Tangaroa Dome is (at the moment) the last of the storyline locations.

You start the storyline by crafting the radar receiver and antennas.
Blueprints for those you get from barrels.
Once built it's default setting is the radar code for the *Radio Tower*.
You can also press <T> to access your questbook and look up (the story and all codes you've found so far).
Head to the Radio Tower and get inofs for 2nd location, there get infos for 3rd etc...

HTH, regards, Kerulon
EDIT: typo

ok i found the #'s to the other island vagatan? somthing... but what color on the radar do you follow? gree or blue? how do you know which to chooose.... grrrrrrrrrrr

Since already keyed the digits on the receiver for the next destination,
with ' some common sense ',
isn't hard to try,
flip +1 -1 to the #coords while looking at the monitor,
could so easily tell the difference,
on which to choose.

Suggest you read the guide section or may also try searching keywords
' receiver , green, blue blip, etc.. ', seeing you have much issue coping from the start.

yaaaaaa thank you so much you see how it is and what im going thru lol thank you again i will try its not so much not figuring it out im guessing its the green one and the blue blips are regular islands.. etc.... so i hope........

Actually, it's the other way around! Blue dots are quest islands (But be sure you put in the right coordinates! I once made the mistake of returning to the radio tower because I hadn't fixed the number coordinates from the tower to the ship, Vasagatan.)

Green dots are regular large islands, (Which have red Screechers, warthogs and poison puffers as well as a random set of generated, tamable animals, dirt, mushrooms, etc. resources that you can't get from small islands.) They're useful for survival but ultimately don't contribute to the games story islands, just your own, personal story on your raft that you create yourself.~ Large islands however will only START appearing once you have visited the radio tower at least once, but this shouldn't be too hard if you're trying to visit story islands, as it's the first one you will ever encounter.

(I'm not sure if it's just me, but when I turn on the receiver, I will often see three green dots and one blue one. So regular islands are pretty plentiful, and you can even just randomly drift across them without using up your receivers battery. I will sometimes even drift across a large island without even looking for one, but you will never "accidentally" find a story based island. They will only spawn when you turn on the receiver, and put in the code for whatever island you wanted, provided you found the code the first time around. It's even possible to revisit story islands, if ever you wanted to! If you turn off the receiver after generating the island through the code, it will still be there, so this method is extremely useful for quickly checking a distance, then turning it off to save your battery power. I do this all the time since the radio tower was new-ish before the story mode was added. Back then I didn't turn off the receiver and my battery slurped into nothing quite quickly so I wouldn't advise drifting along your whole trip with it on, lol...)

In short,
Blue = Story based!
Green = Regular large island! (Good luck!)
