![]() ![]() The gently rolling vortexes of the Eastern and Western Garbage Patches gradually draw in the bottle. Finally, the bottle travels eastward on the North Pacific Current. Near the coast of Japan, the bottle may travel north on the powerful Kuroshiro Current. There, it may catch the North Equatorial Current, which crosses the vast Pacific. A plastic water bottle discarded off the coast of California, for instance, takes the California Current south toward Mexico. The circular motion of the gyre draws debris into this stable center, where it becomes trapped. The area in the center of a gyre tends to be very calm and stable. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre is formed by four currents rotating clockwise around an area of 20 million square kilometers (7.7 million square miles): the California current, the North Equatorial current, the Kuroshio current, and the North Pacific current. Increasingly, however, it also refers to the garbage patch as a vortex of plastic waste and debris broken down into small particles in the ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines a gyre as a large system of swirling ocean currents. The entire Great Pacific Garbage Patch is bounded by the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The zone acts like a highway that moves debris from one patch to another. This convergence zone is where warm water from the South Pacific meets up with cooler water from the Arctic. ![]() These areas of spinning debris are linked together by the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone, located a few hundred kilometers north of Hawai'i. The patch is actually comprised of the Western Garbage Patch, located near Japan, and the Eastern Garbage Patch, located between the U.S. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also known as the Pacific trash vortex, spans waters from the West Coast of North America to Japan. Marine debris is litter that ends up in oceans, seas, and other large bodies of water. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. I may be forgetting a second exit near the south, but he's not too close to that one either.This resource is also available in Spanish. Tldr: the cave you are in should not lead you to a reaper, he is outside the island and the caves you're in exit opposite from where he is. Most of it is in shale deposits, but you need those, and the magnetite in the area, and the sea bases. If you need more lithium than that early, I would look to the mushroom caves. This area has multiple resources you need much closer to the start. There is enough lithium along the cliff wall adjacent to the Aurora for early game purposes, along with shale, sandstone, limestone, boxes, scraps, and fragments. Personally I have never felt the need for lithium at that location, being rather remote and lacking other materials, however the lithium is plentiful and closer to sea level than most anywhere else. The other alien arch, underwater around the enforcement platform's moonpool entrance, is a return point from endgame areas. You can also find around 3 purple tablets in the caves on the surface of the island, as well as an alien arch portal, which if powered with an ion cube will take you to the floating island (the Degassi base). ![]() The caves above water level on the island are an excellent source of lithium and shale deposits. Braving the reaper's aggro radius may be worth it for cyclops fragments on the sea floor, but there are easier wrecks to get them from if you can find them. The only threat inside the caves is getting lost and drowning. The reaper is outside the caves and not a threat inside unless you exit near the enforcement platform area, and he's usually deeper. This system can be found near the enforcement platform, on the side opposite the facility's main entrance. The other cave system I don't believe comes up inside the island, but has a purple tablet on the cave floor near one of the entrances. ![]() That cave can easily be found on the island surface level on the opposite side from the enforcement platfo. At least one of them of them leads to a pool inside a cave on the island, where a purple tablet can be found on the underwater floor where it drops into the caverns. I believe there are two main caverns, each with an entrance at the perimeter of the island about 100ft down I think. ![]()
