Three shallow scan stops and the full-Fabricator recipe.

The short answer

Scan three Wakemakers, then use the full Fabricator in your base. The Lifepod’s basic Fabricator cannot make this tool.

Before you start

  • Scanner, improved oxygen and a powered base.
  • Use a spare battery for a long swim.

Use these three reported platforms

120° southeastDesk on an open-seabed platform near Coral Crabs, about 200 m away and 25 m deep.

Craft and power the Wakemaker

Use 1 Silver, 1 Wiring Kit, 1 Grease and 1 Basic Battery. Grease uses one Lucifer Rotsac; the Wiring Kit combines Silver and Copper Wire. Equip the completed tool from the hotbar.

Kingy return check: a fast outbound swim does not guarantee a fast return if the battery empties. Check the charge before descending and plan a nearby oxygen stop.
