Biome pages need confidence labels
Early Access biome coverage should avoid turning predictions into facts. The useful format is a route card: depth band, oxygen pressure, resource value, predator risk, base value and source confidence. That lets a player decide whether to dive now, come back with better equipment or wait for a verified guide update.
| Biome route | Player value | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Starter shallows | Safe materials, scanner setup, first base prep | Verified route target |
| Coral garden routes | Visual landmarking and early resource loops | Official visual source |
| Ruins and old habitats | Blueprint scan paths and story-adjacent routes | Community plus verification |
| Sparse or open plains | Base candidates and predator awareness | Needs verification |
| Deep-route watchlist | Late materials, danger zones, future expansion | Watchlist |
What a good biome page should include
Each biome page should include what to bring, what to scan, when to turn back and how likely the route is to change. Players do not need vague atmosphere. They need a compact prep checklist and enough context to avoid wasting oxygen.
- Depth band and oxygen pressure.
- Core materials and missing-fragment likelihood.
- Predator or cave risk without story spoilers.
- Base suitability: power, safety, expansion room and route access.
