Encrypted Tape and Interphone

[akos44]

I have a couple of Encrypted Tape from coffins. It say, I can decript them at an Interphone. But when I go back to the started location's Interphone, there is no possiblity to decript. Will it be enabled later during a mission? Or am I missing something?

you have to craft a interphone in DIY base

Although, I must say, some indicators appeared on the map, even before I went back to the starter location. Maybe, the decryption already happened without notification?

The starting interphone doesn't work, counter-intuitively =/ the one near the place you find the tool for building do work though. Aside of that, just use one you built.

i mean, the starting interphone doesn't work because you banged it like an idi- XD
also there's locations that appears that your suit thought about or that Babe pointed out to you, you need to listen to what is being said, or read the messages in the corresponding tab in your inventory/character menu.

That's a point to adress: a lot of the locations will just appear through these messages/events, be it from Babe or the spacesuit. Which means encrypted tapes actually brought me very, very few locations. I'm not sure it brought me even one, though I have used something like 10 already. Now I have finished the main mission, only miss one blueprint and a few collectibles, I think the tapes totally miss a purpose.
Here is a suggestion: why wouldn't they point toward something you still haven't found ? In the situation I'm in, I have not even the start of a hint of a glimpse of an idea about where can be the collectibles I miss or the punching bag blueprint. I'd rather have a hint from the tapes than wait for a guide ^^v I use freedom mode to look around, but even then: I pretty much explored everything I could think of or see, so I'm still at loss :p

yeah, i'm not sure if the locations on each tapes are set or random, if they're random just save and try and retry
personally i stoped bothering, waste of ressources too, i might open some more for the achivement but that's it.
