Btw you need to use repair tool at the room with 4 pillars to repair the cracks

Build another radiation suit and to make it stop their a these four pillars in the aroura that leak radiation

Are you sure you wore full radiation suit? Some people forget about switching rebreather

first aid kits* sorry, phone's autocorrect is buggy.

I know this is not my thread but i´ve been meaning to ask. Is there a way to prevent the core to explode?

It will be completely eliminated. This means you can ditch the radiation suit for other suit options.

Once you do the repair, the radiation is supposed to go away after a few days.

It will just begin the spread of radiation in dramatic fashion after the 24 hours, your system gives you a schematic for the radiation suit (super easy ingredients) so it's not really a big deal except that the helmet prevents you from using the rebreather. You can still go in and repair the core after, the radiation will cease too.

The propulsion cannon, fusion cutter, fire extinguishers, flashlight, repair tool, and knife (death to all spiders!) are must haves for getting the most out of the ship, I would take a few batteries as well, and as far as the reaper goes, hug the wall of the Aurora swimming on the surface on the way and turn right as soon as you can near the end, it'll put you right next to where you need to be and if you're swimming top side, the reaper shouldn't bother you. Best of luck in your aquatic adventures!

You have to find the engine room and use your repair tool to repair each of four bioreactors

In the engine room there are 4 dark matter reactors that have holes in them, you’ll need a repair tool to get in but you should have that if you’re going to fix the Aurora anyway.

Honestly you get so much from all over the ship and in the galley storeroom I normally find myself consuming the water & food I find on the aurora just to make room for the other stuff I find. My normal starting supplies are 2-3 batteries, 4 med kits, propulsion Cannon, Lazer cutter, repair tool, scanner, knife, & radiation suit. Plus either my seamoth or sea glide just to get there. You will need fire extinguishers but you can usually find them on site if you look around.

As a side note it's easy to glitch into the walls and get stuck there so I save pretty often especially when entering or exiting the water

Radiation suit, laser cutter, repair tool, medkit, spare battery, propulsion cannon.

I’d bring 3ish bottles of water to be safe. You don’t need much food as you can find nutrient blocks on the Aurora. You can also find spare batteries, fire extinguishers and water but honestly I always bring a spare one just to be safe. It’s easy to miss stuff with all the chaos.

Edit: Forgot to say scanner. That’s a must everywhere you go.

you can actually find a lot in the boxes on the aurora, maybe take a cured fish or 2, but there's plenty of water on the aurora

Don't bring any.

There's so much in there already, you'll want to conserve space in your inventory.

Someone mentioned storage modules and I second that. Also, there's no need for depth modules so feel free to use that slot for more storage.

laser cutter and repair tool, propulsion cannon too. Make sure you take your scanner as well and don't forget your radiation suit.

Maybe like two water bottles and both of your bars. Just in case the RNG of the loot boxes does not favor you well

Scanner, repairtool, and a lasercutter.

Only if you get close enough

You can find fragments on Grassy plateaus, there’s a wreck that can be accessed by a breach on it which contains I think at least two fragments, the others are scattered around the same biome. Also if you don’t want it spoiled, try to get the cutter first and try to repair the ship

The whole "24 hours" thing is just flavor text with no impact on the game.

Keep exploring and following the radio messages.

Go deeper

there are lulls in the story, where u have nothing to do. Just go searching for stuff, anywhere, something will happen

Explore scary areas, the tend to house goodies (and story progression)

Keep going to your radio. And keep finding ways to go deeper. Explore wrecks, find blue prints. And ever go deeper.

Die

Out.. lol.

There is no out.

There is only death!

Not to spoil anything - yes. You have to go back. Radiation suit required. And a repair tool. Have fun.

Hahaha yea I did that exact same thing as well. I don’t think you need to go back as long as you have repaired the reactor and already have the blueprint for the Neptune.

You’ll need to find that in the Aurora if you want to finish the game, but no rush.

The thing in the black box is the >!Neptune escape rocket. If you already have the launch pad in your blueprints!< then you’re all good and don’t need to go back.

My dude you said new to the game, And then cleared everything out on the first run? But yea you need something from the Aurora

First things first, it would be great if there was a way to fix the onboard fire suppression system. Aurora continues to burn throughout the entire game and seems to get worse over time. I’m not even sure what is left to burn by the end of the game, there couldn’t be that much flammable material in the ship that the fires continue to burn for a month or two.

It would also be nice if you could install ladders to reach places you otherwise cannot go, or at least make entry points for places that you can go. Swimming through that underwater tunnel to get to the lab is one of the riskiest tasks while exploring. It is disappointing that you get there with a full inventory and have to choose what to take, or you have to make more trips to collect everything.

What I really wish was that I could go on board Aurora and salvage materials. It is interesting that the concept of the game lets you scan the prawn suits hanging in the ship, but you cannot take them down and use them. They all seem to be intact, you just have to put out the fires below them. A Prawn could probably bust open a door to get out, although it would be challenging to get it back to your base from there.

I also hate the items that you can pick up but not make yourself. Duffel bags that take up 4 spaces in inventory, cannot be picked up when filled, and cannot be scanned for blueprints. Wall lockers that would look nice in a base. Assorted toys, posters, and Aurora models, only one in LP 7 can be fabricated. Lab equipment that is decoration but otherwise useless. I guess those would go against the concept of using your fabricator primarily to make survival equipment.

Lol usually by the time I'm going to the aurora the seamoth us much too precious for me to take it to the aurora

Yes, but the aurora is much wider and more tall. The cyclops is a stick, the aurora is a tree trunk.

oh yep let me and three rolls of copper wire and forty titanium replace thousands of tons of eviscerated wiring and hull plating and let's replace an entire multi-storie house sized reactor core with 8 reactor rods 4 ion cells the size of a beach ball surly that will fix the miles of buckled and warped hull framing who cares about structural integrity anyway not to mention the entire front of the ship that was filled with critical systems has been hollowed out by a quantum explosion the only thing that could fix that ship is god himself or phil swift and 2 rolls of flex tape

This seems like a very small amount of resources for a 1,2km long ship.

It would be amazing ending choise
