It is visible from the surface nearly anywhere on the map, making it a useful landmark, especially if the player lacks a compass. The Aurora is located on the far eastern edge of the map, with its bow facing north and its stern facing south. The Aurora's interior is inaccessible until post-detonation. Entering without a Radiation Suit is impossible until the Drive Room is repaired furthermore, multiple tools are needed for thorough ship exploration. consequently, bathing the crash site in Radiation. After the Aurora's Drive Core explodes, blowing the bow of the ship. Multiple Reaper Leviathans patrol the crash site.īy the time the player awakens and begins his exploration of the area, all of the other Lifepods have been destroyed and their occupants have vanished. Upon crashing, the Aurora plowed into the terrain, unearthing it and leaving small sand hills around the ship, resulting in huge quantities of Metal Salvage and Supply Crates being dispersed within the vicinity of the ship, providing useful materials such as Food & Water, batteries, and Titanium. Moments after Lifepod 5 launched, Ryley heard the enforcement platform fire and witnessed a second energy pulse strike the already crippled ship. All the starboard Lifepods were compromised if not outright destroyed by the energy pulse most of the port side lifepods that did launch (pods 1 to 25) were either compromised or victim to the hostile ecosystem, except for Lifepod 5, which contained Ryley Robinson. It was thought that the ship's advanced scanning suite, superior to any ship that had previously made a search effort, would have better luck in finding the crew, or finally confirm whatever fate had befallen them.ĭuring a gravity slingshot maneuver around Planet 4546B, the Quarantine Enforcement Platform struck the Aurora with an energy pulse on the starboard (right) side, resulting in catastrophic hull failure and leading to it crash landing on the surface of the planet. Its auxiliary mission, unknown to most of the crew, was an agreement made with the Mongolian Independent States to search for and possibly rescue the survivors of the Degasi crew. It consists of Chinese Potato Plants and Marblemelons.The Aurora was a brand-new Alterra Long-Range Capital Ship (and possibly the first of its class) sent to the Ariadne Arm by the Alterra Corporation to build a phasegate. An abandoned farm constructed by Bart Torgal can also be found here next to a naturally made land bridge. To reach the central Seabase, take the right fork near the beach and follow it around the edge of the Island (It is also possible to simply climb down from one of the mountains to the central Seabase). The path will fork again before a bridge crossing, with each fork leading to one of the two mountaintops. To reach the two mountaintop Seabases, follow the left fork on the dirt path near the beach. There are also three abandoned seabases built by the survivors of the Degasi, one located at the center and one on each of the mountains of the Floating Island. The Arch inside links to the Mountain Island Arch. This one is much easier to access but harder to find. The second is found in a small lump in the ground east of the central lagoon. It can be found on a small ledge just above the large lake in the middle. The Alien Arch Cache can be found in a large cave near the centre of the Island. Bulbo Trees are also edible and can be found growing wild on the island.

The Island is a good source of edible plants, namely the Lantern Tree, Marblemelon, and Chinese Potato, which are exclusive to the Island and can be found in various abandoned growbeds. It can be accessed from the main beach or via the underwater entrance at its center. The Floating Island is fully explorable and boasts a wide variety of colorful, terrestrial flora that covers most of the Island's surface. Two smaller observatories doubling as small farms, and a larger farm on the other side of the Island. There, they constructed a main base, which has been partially covered by a mudslide. The Floating Island was also the residence of the Degasi Survivors for a small while. An Abandoned PDA is positioned right beneath the signal, laying on the sand. Keen left behind a signal for the rendezvous point at Lifepod 19. The Floating Island was the rendezvous point for survivors of the Aurora, However, only two made it: Second Officer Keen, and CTO Yu. The climate is tropical, with a great amount of vegetation and a surface temperature that peaks just below 41☌ and never lower than 20☌. It is a large landmass completely supported by Ancient Floaters located underneath the Island. The Floating Island is a unique island biome in Subnautica.
