islands, Eggs, Aquarium ....questions

mrsnutnut77

Thanks to the replies to the floating island discussion I have located the floater island pretty easily, I wondered if there are any more islands ??? Also how do u build the large aquarium? ? Can't seam to place it anywhere not sure what I am doing wrong. I presume that you can hatch eggs??? Thought I'd do one post for all these questions .

Large aquariums need to be built in the middle of room, and yeah you can hatch eggs which make smaller versions of the animal, they will not attack you inside the aquarium but if released into the wild they will return to regular sie and regular behaviour.

I know of a second island which is great for diamonds, gold and lithium. I can't remember exactly where it was apart from being able to see the side of the Aurora from it. Someone else might be able to tell you where to find it.

There's the Mountain Island. It's not as fancy as the Floater Island, but definitely worth a visit. Fair warning it has a big fish nearby. The only other above-sea level spot right now are the small sandbanks at the end half of the Aurora.

You build the large aquarium in multipurpose rooms only, in the center. You can get large aquariums to stack (essential for growing creepvines in them) by building them in multipurpose rooms atop each other. And yes, you can hatch eggs in them.

Ok thankyou mini games! I went looking from the side of the aurora that u start and i couldn't find anything no islands other than the floater island. So if I haven't missed it i guess you mean the opposite side of the aurora? ? Never played the p.c version or game so I dnt have any knowledge of existing islands not to mention most of the materials, creatures etc lol but thnks again for your help

mrsnutnut77

Thankyou where are the mountain islands? N the creepvine is very handy always get attacked by them stalker things when I need seeds etc !

DrownedOut

You have to go NorthEast from the starting point, and you should about see it in the distance when you leave the Kelp Forest.

Tip regarding the creepyvine: you can plant both the seeds and creepvine itself. If you plant seeds, you'll get creepvine with seeds. If you plant creepvine, it will grow up to be seedless.

I followed northeast and didn't see it??

mrsnutnut77

Just tried to find mountain island again going north east from start n I seam to be going in that direction for way seams like forever n I dnt see it in distance .....I'm not sure why I struggle to find it ???

I've never been there before but all I know is that its at the opposite side of the ship from the floater island.

I haven't found the island myself but all I know is as of a few updates ago (not many like 2) it was on the opposite side of the ship from the floater island

mrsnutnut77

Mmmm it baffles me I found floater island like people were saying was southwest direction but can't find anything . I keep thinking I'm lost whenever I try to find anything else lol dnt think navigation is my strong point!

DrownedOut

Navigation can be very tricky in this game. To be more specific about the directions to the other island, you have to go mostly North with one to two stripes (compass) to the East. You will see it when you leave the Kelp Zone, when you see absolutely no creepvine in front of you anymore. If you stay near ground level and spot deposits of magnetite, then you can go to the surface and look around. It should be very close by at that point and in front of you.

Mini to the rescue! I figured I would record myself in creative to show you guys where the islands are.

From the start it is one or two lines past north on compass like above post said when i i got past all the vines I saw rocks that were leading to surface of water I headed for them and that's how I finally managed to find it took a few attempts tho!
