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.
Farming steps
- 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.
- 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.
