When You Need It
You need a Tadpole Depth Module when the next important route is beyond comfortable vehicle range. The upgrade is most valuable when it unlocks a specific material, objective, or return-safe path.
Do not craft it only because it is available; craft it because it solves the next route.
Material Planning
Check rare materials before converting or spending them. Depth upgrades often sit in the same progression chain as advanced resources, so one careless craft can delay the next module.
After Installing
Use the new depth range for scouting first. Mark entrances and exits before turning the trip into a mining or objective run.
How To Use This Page
Use this page when progression feels blocked by depth, vehicle capability, a structure, or an upgrade chain. The goal is to identify the next safe unlock, not to rush the deepest route available.
Progression pages should be checked against current build behavior and official update notes.
Before You Act On This Guide
- Identify the route or objective the upgrade unlocks.
- Check every rare material in the upgrade chain.
- Scout after installing an upgrade before farming.
- Keep enough reserve material for the next module.
Pause if the upgrade requires rare materials but you cannot name the route it will unlock.
