Description
The Safe Shallows is the first biome encountered by the player, as it is where Lifepod 5 crashed. This is also the starting point of the game, mainly located near the center of the map. The biome has multiple sections that are not directly connected to each other, but all these fragments of the biome have the same general look.
The Safe Shallows contains coral reefs sprawling over a large part of the area, with small cave systems that can be found beneath the surface. As the name implies, the biome contains little threats and no predators live within. However, caution should still be used for the occasional Gasopods passing through, and the caves are home to hostile Crashfish. Predators may wander into the Safe Shallows from adjacent biomes, such as Stalkers from the Kelp Forests, or Sand Sharks from the Grassy Plateaus.
The Safe Shallows is home to a variety of life forms; coral, edible fauna, and flora while also containing a great abundance of harvestable materials.
