Dive and build a habitat

Make your first dive and build a habitat for Settling in for the Long Haul. Finding an existing base does not satisfy a building requirement. Organise resources for the three required vehicles, distinguishing plans from completed construction.

  • Getting Your Feet Wet · Dive for the very first time.
  • Settling in for the Long Haul · Build a habitat

Build three vehicles and visit the Degasi habitats

Build a Seamoth, Cyclops and Prawn Suit; none replaces the others. Explore the three Degasi habitats on the floating island, in the Jellyshroom Caves and in the Deep Grand Reef. Reaching the island alone does not complete all three discoveries.

  • Seaside Living with an Ocean View · Find the Degasi habitat on the floating island
  • Follow the Degasi · Find the Degasi habitat in the jellyshroom caves
  • Seamonsters · Find the Degasi habitat in the deep grand reef
  • Personal Propulsion · Build a seamoth
  • 40-foot Sub For One · Build a cyclops
  • Ordered the Prawn · Build a prawn suit

Repair the Aurora and find alien facilities

Extinction Event Avoided requires repairing the Aurora's reactor. Find the Enforcement Platform, Thermal Plant, Disease Research Facility and Primary Containment Facility. Keep these discoveries separate from Optimal Health, which requires curing the infection.

  • Extinction Event Avoided · Repair the Aurora Reactor
  • Ancient Technologies · Find the Enforcement Platform
  • Thermal Activity · Find the Thermal Plant
  • Find the Lost River · Find the Disease Research Facility
  • Fourteen Thousand Leagues Under the Sea · Find the Primary Containment Facility
  • Optimal Health · Cure the infection

Prepare departure and finish optional goals

For Man's Best Friend, hatch and release a Cuddlefish; hatching alone is insufficient. Prepare and deploy a time capsule. Before launching Neptune, check habitats, vehicles and repairs. Go Among the Stars concerns departure; the platinum requires the rest of the list too.

  • Leave Only Time Capsules · Create and deploy a time capsule
  • Go Among the Stars · Launch the neptune rocket
  • "Man's Best Friend" · Hatch and release a Cuddlefish
  • Platinum Trophy · Collect all other trophies
