Crystal Caverns
An expansive and stunning new biome awaits you in Crystal Caverns. Colorful crystals protrude the surfaces of this underwater location. But don’t get caught loitering! Crystal Caverns is also home to the formidable Shadow Leviathan.
Fabricator Caverns
The mysteries of the Fabricator Caverns lie in wait for you to uncover them. A hidden Fabricator base nestled in the depths of this biome poses a tantalizing question: what new objects will you be able to construct here?
Marguerit Maida’s Base
This well-hidden seabase is home to the enigmatic Marguerit. Should you find your way inside, will you be considered a welcome guest, or an Alterra foe?
Snowfox Base
Explore this abandoned Alterra facility, formerly used to produce Snowfoxes, to find everything you might need to ensure your stay on 4546B is a little more comfortable.
Shadow Leviathan
An aggressive and formidable leviathan class creature, the Shadow Leviathan lurks in the depths of the Crystal Caverns. Take care as you continue to explore this deep, mysterious location to avoid a deadly encounter.
Hidden Crocodile
Make sure not to dismiss the warnings of the hostile Hidden Crocodile. This creature terrorizes the depths of the Crystal Caves and does not like to be disturbed...
Jellyfish
This stunning fauna species is safe to approach, as long as you don’t move too low! Touching the tentacles can lead to a nasty shock. But aren’t they so beautifully enticing?
