Just finished the Cartographers Redux and what started out as a rough journey ended up being an awesome adventure.

Someone already claimed a base in the vicinity of my spaceship so I thought I was screwed.

I stumbled into a cave and decided to dig my way upwards and I was fortunate to end up right in front of a settlement shop but unfortunately someone already claimed a base there as well.

I wanted to remember the location of that shop and set up a base as close as possible to minimize the grind. The closest spot I could find was in the middle of the desert surrounded by predators.

I decided to use my portable refiner as an arrow to point in the direction of that settlement shop from my spaceship.

Once I got my mech I had to travel at least 30 minutes to find water. I looked at my planet in the Discoveries tab and looked at my marker to see how far I was from water.

Finding the water was a pain in the ass but it’s been a while since a game had me this interested and engaged to figure it out.
