I still can't find the lost river, and can't find any nickel so I can't get much further. It's a bit of a bind to be honest, but an addictive one.

When you find plants that look like ghostly white trees, explore around...
Soldato
Mm. Just keep going down.
You're basically looking for holes in the ground leading to caverns when you're in certain biomes. The Blood Kelp and the Deep Grand Reef biomes are where you'll mostly find these entrances, but you need to keep going until you're about 500m deep.
See the big ship that crashed? Let's call it North, so head west from your escape pod and look for anywhere that goes down and then keep going down.

I can relate to this. I found the later parts of the game less enjoyable that the early parts for similar reasons. I was repeating the same journeys too often.
There is actually a North in the game if you have the compass so that is a little confusing. But that is the easiest entry to the Lost River to find I think - if you look for the cloud on the horizon that overlaps the sea masking the floating island to the right of the Aurora wreck when looking at it from the starting location and head towards that then when you can see the island you should see the two halves of the island either side of a rock bridge immediately dive down and there should be an opening (quite a few predators around though) that eventually goes down to the Lost River.

Anyone heard any news about a Below Zero EA release date yet? It should be very close!

Helpful thanks, but where is the lost river on that? Plus, what is mercury Ore? No nickel on there either? Is it an old map or something?
Caporegime
Nickel will be in the Lost River. I'm going to guess that one of the entrances is +250, +1000 on the map (going right then up from 0,0)
I remember it being near a load of thermal vents as I had a power supply running from one of the vents up and over a mountain to my base on the other side. Frankly, I was amazed and overjoyed the power extension doo-dah actually worked!

hehe cheers problem is knowing where I am at the moment.. PITA not having some kind of indentification ability in the game. Even a little map would have been good.
Soldato
You can use F1 to see which Biome you are in (as in Safe Shallows etc), not sure if there is anything else one can do though.
Pretty sure that there is a way of using the command console to tell you which zone you are in and also coordinates.
The easiest way for me to find the lost river is that there is an entrance right next to life pod 2 which I would have thought you will have had the radio message for that by now.
Man of Honour
Oooh cheers, that might work. Life Pod 2 has been discovered. I think I'm quite a way through the game, but with a few key things missing. I still haven't found the sonar for the Cyclops which is a royal pain.
Soldato
f1 also gives coordinates.
Getting some of the Cyclops pieces needs you to take risks I found. Deeper places and those at the back of the Aurora were the best. I found a lot of stuff around the Sea Treader area and Grand reef.
Looking forward to it!
Soldato
Arr! How did you get on with the cyclops? Have you exhausted everything the game has to offer? It is easily one of the best gamed I've come across in a long, long time.
