Overview
The Compass is a crafted piece of equipment made using the Fabricator. It serves as a basic navigational device with cardinal direction indicators.
After the player has crafted one Compass, it automatically falls in place in the paper doll UI. The Compass will appear in the Fabricator after retrieving the chip from a Data Box.
Due to its ability to tell the player where they are looking, it can be used for:
- Keeping track of salvaged areas.
- Navigation with the Seaglide (or other vehicles).
Location
Data Boxes containing the Compass blueprint can be found in:
- Kelp Forest Wreck
- Lifepod 3
