(Obfuscating title to avoid spoilers)

I'm trying to locate

Feldspar

in Dark Bramble. I know that the anglerfish are very sensitive to the sound of thrusters, so I'm not manoeuvring the ship at all while I'm passing through. I generally stop the ship from moving every time I enter a new... node(?), then pick one of the glowing lights and head towards it. However, sometimes what I pick ends up being an anglerfish, rather than a node. In this case, I can't do anything because any movement immediately gets me killed.

How can I avoid this?

There's a trick to get a constant indicator of Feldspar's location without needing to take repeated readings. On Timber Hearth, there is a Dark Bramble seed with a hole that is not big enough to fit through, but big enough for a scout to fit through. If you fire a scout into that hole, it will eventually come to rest on or near Feldspar's camp site. Once you do that, you should see a "Duplicate Signal" indicator for your scout, with one pointing into the seed, and the other pointing elsewhere. The second signal points at Dark Bramble itself, and you can follow it through Dark Bramble itself to the campsite as long as you never recall the scout.

There is also a trick to getting past the anglerfish. Your suit thrusters are a lot quieter than your ship thrusters, so you can move past them without waking them up by getting out of your ship and flying through in just your suit. You should easily have enough oxygen if you take a direct path, and Feldspar's camping site has oxygen refills.

  • Wouldn’t that mean that I'd be without ship after, though? Commented Apr 11 at 23:15
  • Yes. I probably wouldn't try to do much else in that loop after that. Commented Apr 11 at 23:52

My solution for this was to use both the signalscope and the scout. I would examine each of the lights with the signalscope to see if it matched

Feldspar's

signal. I would also send a scout in that direction, taking constant snapshots, to make sure that it's a node and not an anglerfish. Once I'd found where to go, I would aim at that location and go full throttle for a couple seconds, then let go of the controls to ensure I had enough momentum to get there without alerting any anglerfish. Then, once I got really close to the node, I would make some final course corrections to enter it and go to the next layer.

This is also very helpful for

locating escape pod 3.
