How far is my progress? Plz no spoilers . How find fast last ALAN body part, manufature and antidote for behemoth? No map markings? No helpful ingame lore?!
How to find the last body part of ALAN?

Why is your depth meter maxed out to 1100 meters, but it seems only at edge of map you can dive so deep and there is alyways the black fish of doom instantly killing you etc

IS there more to the marguerite storyline? I only hacked the altera towers and nothing else happened? Just few blueprints of plants, planters and toilets. Really? Let down ...

So your sister sam silly just was killed by rock slide, while she was tinkering with the big behemoth in the laboratory? So your last quest is just to find the antidote or inject it?
Where find antidote? NO map markings? :C

TL;DR
Do you guys think this game is possible to "finish" in 30 hours, interested in tech & storywise. Or do you get lost fast? Only just made the prawn suit.

PS: I didn't play SN1 so all feels new to me and idc, if first game was longer or "better".
Also i enjoy abit of narrative inbetween :3

al-an IS the final. and convoluted. go deeper (into the red crystal caves.... which can be found in the blue crystal caves). the final piece can be found in the blue crystal caves. and the lab is in the red crystals. gl on your journey

To move the story(s) you need to:
find the alien sanctuary in the twisty bridges,
talk to the crazy lady on the island (go all the way to the top.) There should be a beacon activated there at the dock.
Go to the arctic spires biome. When you get close a beacon will appear.

Oh gawd i found Robotic station Phi. Is this near the end? For some reason i got lost, cause this game sadly has no map feature and now i can't get back home. I wanted to learn the new blueprint for the snowfox and found some awesome magentite finally. But now i can't get back to my home base.

Help. I feel i'm imprisoned in this snow valley and i can't climb the mountains anymore and i run around in circle and circle and get lost. So far i don't freeze cause i run with the snow prawn. But please how do i get back home ? Is there a point of no return in this game?

PS: I also found this big stargate teleporter and scanned it, but i couldn't build a teleporter sadly.

TL;DR
I feel i'm soft locked and frustrated that i can't continue building and tinkering. I really start to hate this snow island now ;_;

Anyone got a tip how to escape this Robotic station phi ice valley ? oO

Head out the main door of the Phi Robotics center. Turn left and walk down the path a bit. There are two caves there, both will lead directly to the water and let you escape the area.

There is also a map inside the Phi Robotics center that shows the entire arctic area. You can scan that and then access if from your PDA. It's useful for navigating the area and finding an important point later.

I heard this game is shorter than SN1, so this is a plus for me, cause nowadays i got less time etc.

Was bit scared to continue my old save, but start was smooth and not at all confusing!

I recently restarted my save file from last year with new VR equip and have to say it still looks marvelous.

Currently i'm 17 hours in and now made a scanner room, built the sea truck with frabricator + storage room ( yet have to find aquarium blueprints ), and finally made the prawn suit.

Exploting with prawn suit is so much fun and i made it deep into the "titan mines" that long shaft where deep below you find big veins of gold, copper and rubin stuff.

So now i'm abit lost and idk where to go next. I forgot most of the story and just remember that you are on that snow island, where u meet random NPCs.

I also got 2 bacons ( last known pilot location ) like i think 300 and 500 meters below sea level, but there is no pod or human person to be found.

I guess my next step is tinkering with the scanner room and max out all fragment findings?
I wonder, if i should make a second base at 500ish deep level to gather faster fragments and materials? My main base is on waterlevel near where you find your first battery supplies :3

not shorter, longer, more stuff to do, more to explore, more build options, song collecting, egg collecting, etc etc...

So far i've put i think 24H into this game. The early exploring and crafting all those cool vehicles like sea truck , crab machine was fun. But now i would really like to finish the story, but i somehow seem to explore in circles.

So far i found the abadonde laboratory with the gigant behemoth, but there i seem to be missing an anti dote probe so i can give it to the animal. Where to find the antidote?

I found marguerite in her deep sea base, she sent me to the icebarg wintergardens. There i found some seeds / planters, but is her story really finished now? At the moment she sits lazy at her base looks at her PDA and don't want to talk to me anymore. So her only quest was to hack the antennas of altera really? kinda dissapointing.

So the ALAN alien questline seems to be the main meat. I found 2 builder blueprints, one for the DNA and other for the bone i believe? But my problem is idk how to use the recipes? Do i need a new building tool a new crafting station facility? This is too vague i believe.
Now also ALAN refuses to speak to me anymore and idk where to find the last body part. I explored all the green alien builder parts on the map, but it was alot of backtracking and all the sites i was already before i met ALAN, feels very bad design. I also opened the stargate from Robotic facility PHI to the ion mines.

I was also so desperate that i traveled to the far north until the edge of the map. Actually you can glitch through the floor and die endlessly. But i really just want to experience more story.

help ;_;


TL;DR
How to finish fast the story when you gotten lost?
