Surviving the uncharted waters of the recently released marine exploration title requires preparation, and the maintenance device emerges as one of the most vital items in the initial campaign. Virtual adventurers must scour the ocean floor in search of three specific pieces of technology lost among submerged ruins. Only after registering these pieces with the scanner will it be possible to use the base creation station to assemble the machinery, thus ensuring the integrity of the vehicles and the opening of secret passages under the sea.
Understand the practical importance of the device during diving
Once built, the machinery must be allocated directly to the shortcuts in the character’s inventory to ensure agility in times of crisis. Operation depends on a simple energy source, which is essential to restore the bodywork of the light submarine known as Tadpole, which saves the player from wasting precious materials building a new transport. As a strategic bonus, the device also acts as an improvised blowtorch, capable of melting stuck locks on fallen ships that hold valuable diagrams.

The usage mechanics were designed very intuitively by the developers. Simply approach the damaged structure with the item in hand and wait for the visual warning on the screen; Then, the user simply needs to hold the interaction trigger until the progress bar completely fills, returning maximum durability to the damaged object or vehicle.

Exact coordinates to track tech pieces on the map
Before starting assembly, the game system requires the reading of three specific pieces of scrap to release the digital recipe. Although the community has already mapped more than ten spawn points for these pieces spread across the initial biome, focusing on the three areas closest to the initial drop point significantly optimizes progression time:
- First bit: swim approximately two hundred and twenty meters in a southeasterly direction from the escape module. Look for an underground installation forty meters underground, hidden by a large rock formation, where the piece rests on a counter just inside the entrance door.
- Second piece: move three hundred and ten meters northeast of the starting base, until you find a giant metallic shell surrounded by lead ores. Access the crevice at the bottom of the scrap and look at the floor near the first interior divider.
- Third part: follow two hundred and sixty meters south of the capsule until you come across another destroyed ship. Go around the stone wall to enter on the eastern flank and locate the component resting on an abandoned seat in one of the rooms.
Materials required to complete assembly on the base
The on-board computer will emit an audible alert confirming plant acquisition once the last scan is successfully completed. With the diagram saved in memory, the next step requires safely returning to the survival module to process the following supply list in the default builder:

- One unit of processed titanium bar.
- A standard set of electronic wiring.
- An entry-level power cell.
- A portion of sulfur collected in the environment.
By inserting this exact combination of four elements into the three-dimensional printer, the coveted maintenance device materializes instantly. Having this equipment in your inventory transforms the dynamics of survival, as it ensures that the small submarine can withstand the pressure and attacks of predators in increasingly dark abysses, while at the same time unlocking sealed compartments full of advanced technologies that dictate the pace of evolution in the campaign.
