I was still at a point in the game where I didn't have either of those things, all I was thinking to myself was that powercells were useless since they couldn't be placed into any of the things that needed batteries and I hadn't unlocked anything that needed power cells. Ps: Also keep in mind that this game is still in early access, meaning that devs are still in the process of balancing every little features as well as tools/fragments placements so expect them to be shifted from places to places a few times until official release Hopefully ive helped you a bit without selling you too much infos that you may not have wanted to see Something i found useful with depleted batteries is that you can combine them to make fully charged powercells for your Seamoth/Cyclops That seems like a bug to me that may probably get fixed eventually but for now it works lol So you need to find the proper balance between more air capacity/swimming speed rate. Its hard to give you specific infos without selling you where they are hidden exactlyĪlso, wether you play in Stable mode or Experimental modes, the fragments are distributed differentlyĭevs ultimately want fragments to be found mainly (but not only) near noticeable points of interests that will catch the player's eye, so you should maybe try to concentrate your attention to those placesĪlso, is right having more airtanks when you are on ''exploration/search'' is helpful since you dont have to go back to the surface so often, but keep in mind that each airtank in your inventory adds some weight, slowing you down a bit, so the more tanks you have on you the slower you swim.

I'm worried I'm going to be told 'oh it's ez you just need to go to this specific location' but as I said, this meta information is not helpful to a new player. Recharging batteries is so fundamental I don't get why the fragments are as obscure as they are. So I feel like the most sensible thing would be to solve step 4 somehow. Back to square one, except now I am sat on a stack of empty batteries taking up locker space and feeling dejected.Fail to find fragments for battery charger.Start exploring, the Seaglide consumes batteries VERY quickly.Spend a lot of time find resources for and making batteries for the Seaglide so I can actually get places in reasonable time.I have heard that specific biomes contain these fragments, and I respectfully request to not be told exactly which biomes involve which fragments, but my point is that I've approached something of a deadlock. Obviously this varies based on the luck of where you are initially and where you explore to (I am aware that certain meta information streamlines this, but as I said I am avoiding meta information to enable an exploration play style) as I've heard some players find the battery charger fragments very easily, but I am 7 hours in and haven't seen a one.

But the battery charger fragments are a problem on this front. I'm approaching the game as it seems to be presented, as one where you are meant to explore and discover things by your own curiosity, and it works like that! It does it well. Just started playing the game recently, having a lot of fun.
