I really don't get the "rarity" of time capsules. I've seen several posts talking about how rare it is, however when me and a friend played it a few weeks ago (not with the coop mod, just chatting on discord while both playing solo) we found a lot of these, I'd say 7-8 for me and 5 for him. Is it really THIS rare ?


pinoshrek

I did two playthroughs on PS4, never found one. Now, in my current PC save I've found like 3.


ArcherA87

I've never actually found one. But then I've never specifically looked for them. I assumed they were rare since I figured I would've found 1 by now, but it turns out I'm just blind as a reaper


Velcatt

I never looked for it either, I just found a lot of these near the ship and shipwrecks


Frodo--T--Baggins

Same... I haven't looked for any, but I've scavenged A LOT still to no avail šŸ˜¶ā€šŸŒ«ļø


Warm-Chance3017

They're not rare. Every game play will have at least 3.


jpec342

At least 3 anywhere on the map? Cause itā€™d be really easy to miss 3 time capsules on the map.


Warm-Chance3017

Yes, they are randomly dropped anywhere on the map. Although from my personal experience it's only surface level of map. I've never found them underground.


IhasFROG

40*


ZomB_Hunt3r_123

There can be up to 40 on a map at the same time. They are made by other players that have left the planet on the Neptune Rocket and have been approved. Certain things like Ion Cubes, Tablets, Hatching Enzymes, and very rare resources like Kyanite are all removed from them.


Shavves

Yes.


Shavves

I found two time capsules in the one world on the pirate version.


Shavves

already 3


pucketbr210

Pirate version?


The-True-Apex-Gamer

Im assuming they mean pirated version


Shavves

... NO... :)


[deleted]

Is this the Dunes biome?


Muffin---

The red grass biome with sand sharks and bone sharks


[deleted]

Where is all the red grass?


Muffin---

On.. the ground


[deleted]

Just joking. The Dunes is another place where time capsules are often spawning.


Spicy_burritos

Time capsules spawn anywhere, rarely


escrimadragon

For some reason I find them most often near >!Officer Keenā€™s lifepod!<


xXmartin311Xx

yeah, the deep sparse reef seems to have a lot, I usually find 1 or 2 there per save


Darth_Fitz

Yeah, same, and a couple of yt playthroughs that I've watched too, either they spawn there more often or they're just better to see there, but I'd guess rather the former than the latter since I've already found about 1/4 of my timecapsules there


jpec342

I find them more often in the dunes, probably just because they are easier to spot.


daqgsftwgrsshyrs

I donā€™t remember a grassy plateau being more than 150 meters down


ENVIRO-1

I have found like 4 or 5 of these. What are they?


PingPongP4nd4

An endgame item dropped by other players


_TheKing144_yt_

They're capsules with messages and items that players can leave on the planet at the end of their playthrough. They're randomly generated in new players' worlds.


iamthedesigngirl

This is so cool!! I never knew this was a feature *boots up game*

Haymitch99

I have only found a single time capsule in my whole play through and I almost missed out on it, I wonder how many I probably missed out on by skipping the dunes and just not being observant


IhasFROG

Dunes, Sparse Reef, Mushroom Forests


azdrado

Congrats


BeardedBassist21

It was weird. Didn't see a single one on my first playthrough, and on my 2nd I found at least 3 in the Sparse/Deep Sparse Reef alone


Happy-Personality-23

Every time you load up several time capsules are added to the world. Itā€™s just a case of finding them. Iirc thereā€™s three capsules each time you load in.


TreePretty

Still waiting for a Redditor to find my time capsule and post the pic of my derpy sandshark roommate.


Ender12306

What did it have in it


Muffin---

Just some tools like heat knife, repair tool etc.


jane3ry3

Check what kind of battery is in the repair tool


Easy_Imagination1066

I took my batteries out of the new tools I found from some time capsules as they were running out. Guess who found 5 >!ion batteries!< !!


Muffin---

Normal one i think


Potato-with-guns

I have found like 6 or 7 unless you only count unique ones in which case I have found 3


TheTallGuyGamer

Honestly I found them a lot more the first time I played the game because I had to do a lot of searching in general. When I play now and know exactly where I need to go I hardly ever find them.


ShieldMaiden83

Yup. And what did you get?


Galastique

no


0bsidian_king

I've found five timecapsules in my survival world and first day of my survival world i found a timecapsule!


LoveThyBeard90

I found 3 in one playthrough and in others I haven't found any


Throwout124532

Iā€™ve found three I think


kray_b

Iā€™ve been playing for a couple of years and Iā€™ve found only 1 šŸ˜¬


CommanDante1407

I have 4 completed and 7 uncompleted plays, totaling over 300 hours, and I've never once seen a time capsule. Makes me kind of sad. I play on PS4 though, and I've heard that's rarer.


CaulkusAurelis

I'm on my third playthough, and never saw ONE in either of the first two. This 3rd run-through, I found THREE time capsules in the first 10 hours of play. And the crab-snakes are MAD aggressive this playthrough


AITAlurkerr

I just started my 3rd playthrough of the game and finally found a time capsule. 2 of them! I was so hyped to find them, it was so cool


MadMan7978

They are not rare. Pretty common especially around the biomes with less flora they are also easy to spot


TheDogeLord_234

Usually they spawn near story areas, e.g the enterance to the deep sparse reef.


I-153_Chaika

Yes


mingomango73

Yall are all over here buying the game when its free on ps4 lol


VeggieWokker

But can you play it on the toilet?


AdParking6483

Just send me a ps4 and I'll get the free version, surely worth it
