Story destinations provide progression materials, blueprints and clues that unlock later parts of the main journey.
PC / Global, final release 1.0
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
The base game story sequence includes Radio Tower, Vasagatan, Balboa, Caravan Town and Tangaroa.
Use the Receiver and story notes to navigate to the next destination, then complete its exploration objectives before leaving. Story islands are not a single repeatable resource route: their unique materials and progression clues are tied to the story sequence, while ordinary reef materials can be collected during the same stop.

GET STARTED
How to farm
Before you go
Receiver and antennas to locate story destinations.
Story notes with coordinates or clues for the next destination.
Hook for collecting ordinary island and reef materials.
Read the latest story note and enter its coordinates into the Receiver as directed by the game.
Use the Receiver to locate the marked destination and steer the raft toward it.
Dock near the island and explore its named areas, buildings and routes.
Collect story materials, blueprints and notes encountered while completing local objectives.
Use clues and codes found at the destination to progress its objective and reveal the next story lead.
Check your journal and Receiver after completing the island’s objectives.
Before leaving, make a safe reef pass with the Hook if you also need ordinary island materials.
Farming tips
Keep the story notes and journal current so you can distinguish a completed stop from an unfinished objective.
Bring basic supplies for exploration and return to the raft if you need to restock before finishing.
Repeat, collect and use
Story objectives and unique progression rewards are one-time per story playthrough. Ordinary island materials can be gathered again on later visits where available.
Common mistakes
Leaving before completing local story objectives: check notes, codes and the journal before departure.
Expecting a story destination to function as an unlimited material farm: unique progression rewards are tied to completing that stop.
Following an old coordinate after story progress: use the latest notes and Receiver information.
When to stop or switch
Leave after the destination objectives and progression clues are complete; continue to the next marked story location or return later for ordinary materials.
