Does the Blood Kelp Biome Actially Exist?

Hi

Playing 23050

I have to ask, does the blood kelp biome actually exist? I've been exploring a lot recently and I entered an area, twice now, that was labelled "Bloodkelp" on the F1 data display, but all I see below me is sand dunes.

    Should've searched the threads mate, I made one on it about 1-2 weeks ago I think, and yea it does :D

    You might need to use experimental if you aren't, and tbh you shouldn't trust a data display in an early access game, just do the ol' "biome bloodkelp" I think it was in the cheat console :)

    I play in freedom mode. No, I don't want to cheat by warping there; I'd rather find it by exploring :smile:

    The F1 display always seems to be accurate on all other biomes I've found.

    Did you start a new file?

    Keep in mind it is about 300m deep O_o

    And if that doesn't quite work it is possible they tweaked/ moved it?

    If that doesn't work for you then I strongly suggest warping, it's WORTH it :D

    Shh! I reckon there's at least another two weeks in this until they find out they've been paying me to pretend to work on this. Don't ruin this for me!

    Seriously though, if you know how to get to Sparse Reef, it's accessible through one of the more central caves there. That may be a slightly easier way to find it if you don't want to warp. If you are still having trouble finding it, it may be necessary to try a new save file, to get all of the changes to the world.

    I have the same issue. New game file; Twice now. When I warp I end up under the map with sand the closest texture and biome look.

    That actually makes sense that it's underground. I guess I was swimming over the dune above the blood kelp. I'll go back and have a look today. I refuse to warp there. Warping is for losers! (except for when I warp myself 3000m up in the air just for a fun.) :wink:

    You sure? Why then am I seeing the F1 display state I am in the Bloodkelp biome?

    They defined the biome area long ago. The details are being constantly added.

    It's not in the current build. I searched for a hour... then finally just watched a youtube video and found the location, then found it wasn't in my game. I have 9 hours cheat free my current session, hate to start now.

    Yes. I apologise for not clarifying this, but you'll need to switch to experimental mode to see it.

    KK, thanks. I'll stick to Freedom mode and await the update. :smile:

    Hi 04Leonhardt

    Thanks for the information. I'll stick with the official updates, but thank you for pointing that out.
