I finally got the lifepod repaired, only to realize there was a radio and a medical kit fabricator on board this whole time. The fabricator takes some time to automatically generate a first-aid patch. If you don't take it out, it just sits there at a capacity of one; it's not like it'll keep pumping them out until I have enough to open a pharmacy. What a shame.
Not long after fixing the radio, I picked up a distress signal from Lifepod 3. Since I have the means to swim a bit further out now, I figured I’d go check it out. When I reached the coordinates provided by the AI, I didn't see a soul. The area was rich in resources and still relatively shallow. Could they have relocated somewhere else? Inside the pod's wreckage, I found the survivor's PDA. Personally, I always keep my tablet glued to my side... so seeing this left behind didn't feel like a good sign.
After the AI downloaded the data, I read through it. It looks like they might not be survivors anymore. They had decided to modify their battery to give their Seaglide more range. But on my way here, I could swear I scanned some Seaglide debris. Don't tell me it exploded... I searched the area for any usable tech and found a compass blueprint, along with enough Seaglide fragments to piece together a complete blueprint.
Just when I thought I might have companions, I'm all alone again.
Guess I'll head back to my own pod and craft an underwater propulsion vehicle—a Seaglide of my own.
With more and more electrical gear piling up, my anxiety is growing. Acid mushrooms and coral aren't everywhere, and they aren't exactly easy to track down either. Now even the Seaglide is eating through power. Is there no such thing as a battery charger in this world?
After combing through the crates scattered all over the place, I managed to piece together the blueprint for a laser cutter. I initially wanted to use it to mine ore or break open unbroken crates, but no luck on either front. Its functionality is pretty limited—it can only burn through sealed doors.
Alright, no use complaining. Being able to open doors means I can scan more technology. Give myself a little pat on the back for that.
To conserve power, I started considering building mini-bases throughout my exploration areas, complete with a few extra storage lockers. I could use the local resources to expand the construction, and when it came time to abandon the outpost, I could do one final, massive haul. It sounded like a brilliant plan.
But tragedy struck sooner than expected. The moment I left the new outpost, I couldn't find my way back to it... Oh, good grief. Let's put the "off-site expansion plan" on hold for now. At the very least, I need some kind of beacon or locator so I can actually find my way back to new site.
After wrapping up my latest salvage run, I noticed the radio had another message waiting. This one was from Lifepod 17. With a waypoint provided, at least I wouldn't get lost. Speaking of which, once you actually find a location, the AI's waypoint disappears. I'd better do a thorough, grid-by-grid search of the area the moment I arrive.

Lifepod 17 was located in a shallow area just past an underwater ridge. Its hull was breached. It had been attacked. According to the data on the PDA, the victim was nearly crushed by a Seamoth—one of the small submersibles ejected from the mothership. They were lucky to survive that impact, but a ruptured hull is a whole different level of serious. Even though I’ve been blown up, rammed, and sprayed with venom over the past few days, no creature has actually broken into my lifepod yet. I started searching the vicinity to see what kind of technology I could salvage.
I finally found the blueprint for a beacon! And fragments for the Seamoth, too. Unfortunately, completing the Seamoth blueprint doesn't do me much good right now; it looks like I need a Mobile Vehicle Bay to actually build it. However, that cave system right next to it looks incredibly tempting... what's inside? It’s practically making my mouth water.
I think I’ll risk heading back to craft a beacon before exploring it. Even without an AI waypoint, I can at least rely on the relative bearings from my compass to get back here. I'll return to my pod, grab my tools, and come back to build a compartment. A beacon won't just help me find my way back during transport runs—when I dive deep into that dark cave, it'll at least guide me toward the surface when I need to breathe.

標題：定位器是個寶
總算把逃生艙修好了，才發現有一台收音機和一個藥箱。藥箱花一段時間動生成貼布。如果沒拿出來，也就只有這麼一張，不會多到讓我可以賣狗皮膏藥。真可惜。
收音機修好不久後，就收到 Lifepod 3 的求救訊號。現在有本事游遠一點了，就過去看看吧。到了AI 指示的定位點，沒有看到任何人。這地方資源蠻多，還算潛灘。會不會是移到別處去呢？船艙內撿到生還者的平板電腦。我是都把平板電腦帶著啦。這情況會不會不妙啊。
AI 下載資料後，我讀了一下，看來他們可能不是生還者了。他們決定修改電池，讓 Seaglide 可以到更遠的地方。但是來的路上我好像有掃描到 Seaglide 的殘骸。不會是炸了吧....。四處找看看有沒有可用的科技，找到指南針定位器，還有幾塊足以拼湊出完整架構的 Seaglide 殘骸。
以為有同伴，現在又是一個人了。
我回自己的逃生艙做個水下推進器，Seaglide ，吧。
電器越來越多，我也越擔心。因為海菇和珊瑚不是到處有。找起來也不容易。現在 Seaglide 也是吃電。這世上有沒有充電器這種東西啊？
看到四處散落的箱子，蒐集出雷射槍的做法。我本來想拿它來採礦，還是打破沒有破的箱子。都不行。 它的功能蠻少的，只能燒門。
好啦，不用抱怨啦，可以開門就可以多掃描幾個東西了。給自己一個鼓勵啊。
為了節省用電，開始考慮在探索地蓋建築，再多蓋幾個櫃子。可以用找到的資源擴大建設，撤站時也可以做最終搬運。真是個好方案。
但是悲據很快就發生。我離開新站後就找不到它了....天吶....。離宮計畫暫緩執行好了。至少讓有個定位器，讓我能回得來啊。
撿垃圾收工後，發現收音機又有訊息了。聽起來是 Lifepod 17. 有定位點就不會迷路了。說起來，一旦找到，AI 定位點就會消失。我最好找到時就把那區順便進行地毯式蒐索。
Lifepod 17 在越過海底小山後的淺水區。它船艙破了。它被攻擊了。根據平板電腦上的資料，受難者差點就被母艦噴出來的小潛艇, seamauth ,撞上。有幸逃過一劫。但是船艙破掉看起來是另一件很嚴重的事啊。我雖然這幾天被炸，被撞，被噴毒，還沒有一個生物來打破我的逃生艙。找看看附近有什麼科技可以用。
我終於找到定位器 beacon 了！而且還有 seamauth. 可惜湊齊 seamauth 設計圖也沒用。它好像要 Mobile Vehicle Bay 才做得出來。但是，旁邊那個坑好迷人啊..... 裡面有什麼..... 讓我垂涎三尺。
我覺得我冒險回去做 beacon 再過來。沒有 AI 定位，至少還能靠指南針相對位置回來。回去拿傢伙來蓋走廊。 beacon 不只能讓我搬運時回得來，潛下深坑時，至少找得到要浮出水面的方向。
