Depth lighting

dexter397

Is it just me or when you go really far down you can barely see cause when i was trying to get to the lava biome I could not see cause of how dark the inactive zone is in front of the Aurora. It would be nice if there was some way to see better down deep cause cyclops lights are not that good.

Some of the ILZ segments aren't properly lit yet, various sections still have zero lighting even on the PC and at certain locations continue to say you're in a biome overhead you (Kelp Forest, Mushrooms, etc). Since those areas are still in development, I'm sure they'll be fixed up soon enough.

But what about the entrance to the zone from the front of the aurora I want down there and it was pitch black and I can not find the active lava zone and got lost

@dexter397 The entrance to the ALZ is definitely down there - It's the only place I know where to find it. Just keep going down and looking for more holes [that lead downward]. I keep my Cyclops facing west (Aurora on the left) and descend - usually going a bit west, south-west while doing so and I find more passages to go downward. Past that I'm not sure if there's multiple passages, but I follow a wall (while descending as much as I can and looking for spots to dive) and I've always ended up there.

I'd ditch your Cyclops and use the PRAWN once down there as well, b/c Larva will attach to various spots around its hull (the Cyclops), and drain power. (Not that they won't do that to the PRAWN, but it's a smaller surface area to check)

Hopefully that helps

Not sure if this could help but trow some flares down and proceed with just scouting till you hit
the mark. Then build a thermal gen followed by a simple foundation platform next to the choosen spot. a few transmiters then add as many spotlights that your gen can output.
Yes take your time. but if your in a rush ,Get some blood vine seeds an outdoor growbed and light that bottom up.

I found it over the weekend with those energy suckers in it but not long after my game crashed (and the terrain took a bit to load) , I wound up building a base at the 880 depth or around there for my seamoth and cyclops to stay at and went in the prawn suit and found it . Is the sea dragon in there on the one yet or no?

@dexter397 Hey man, glad you found it - the Sea Dragon [Dangerous Creatures Update] is only out on Steam right now (I don't know for sure, but I would assume the one for xbox is just in cert. and will be out soon [if it passes] - Subnautica Xbox Twitter)
