Frequently asked questions

How do I find a shelter when I'm lost?
Shelters spawn naturally across most biomes as you explore, so keep walking and look for the distinctive capsule structures. If you're in plains, deserts, oceans, cherry groves, snowy peaks, dark forests, or taigas, shelters should appear within reasonable travel distance. You can also use the mod's configuration settings to adjust spawn frequency if shelters feel too rare or common.
What's the difference between the Bronze, Iron, Gold, and Diamond tiers?
Each tier represents increasing quality and detail: Bronze shelters are the most basic, while Diamond shelters are the most elaborate with the best loot inside. Higher tiers have more decorative elements and their waxed oxidized copper chests contain rarer, more specialized gear suited to that tier's theme.
How do I use the geyser elevator?
Step into the water pool on the shelter's base floor and the geyser will launch you upward to access upper levels. You can jump off at any floor as you rise, or ride it all the way to the top.
Can I break the waxed copper chests and take them with me?
The waxed copper chests are part of the shelter structure and cannot be broken or moved; you can only open them to collect the supplies inside. This design keeps the shelters intact for future visits.
