Deep Grand Reef Mapping

pie1055

Did a map of the Inactive Lava Zone a while back and wanted to map out all the under-seafloor areas and do a massive map-filled post with a map of every gosh darn area in the game. Needless to say that's a tall order and I didn't get very far. I did finish a map of the Deep Grand Reef as part of that goal though and I've been sitting on it for a while. Looks like I wont finish the other maps soon so I might as well throw this up for y'all to use in the meantime.

Deep Grand Reef only:

Full Deep Grand Reef map with depth and the rest of the world and stuff:

Notes on the map(s):

• Colored depths represent the depth of entrances from adjacent biomes.
• White depths represent pillars/other objects that obstruct the player from the bottom to the top of the biome.
• The lighter blue spots over the southern area are entrances to the Deep Grand Reef from above, the depths of which represent how deep the opening is.
• The northern entrance to the Lost River has a peculiar trait. On the Deep Grand Reef side the biome changes into the Inactive Lava Zone if you go deep enough. This is notable because the ambient temperature rises high enough that you should be able to use a thermal plant there, so I thought I'd include it.
• These maps were recorded using the Stable January 2017 build, be wary of changes if you're playing on something different.
• Make sure to open the pictures in a new tab for the full resolution.

I'm pretty sure that the ILZ entrance no longer exists there, though I might be wrong. It would be interesting if the transition is still visible, though.

I can confirm, that the entrance IS there, was there yesterday the first time

BTW, pie1055, this looks like an amazing project... I cross my fingers, that you will be able to make a fast progress.
Do you want to enter - in future versions - any POI like abondend bases or something like this?
Besides of the benefit to find them, I started using them as navigational beacons.

Though that means I may have to update it in the future, it's part of why I haven't done the Lost River yet.

My intent is to offer biome maps as close to the one found in the game files as possible and the reason I always offer a simplified version is so that others can add whatever points of interest they like. They're also nice as is because they are relatively spoiler-free.
