Been sending voyages to southern trench, but no pipe unlocked yet. Is it a random chance?

it is rng but generally the higher the surveillance rating you have the more likely it is to be unlocked.

not true imo, i discovered many sectores way faster using 30 surv builds as I did with 190+ ones (across different fcs with different ressources)
its pure rng

So for unlocking new zones Surveillance doesn't matter or does it? Debating if I should focus heavily on it or put everything into Speed.

I am going to say it is random but influenced by Surveillance.

So more Surveillance for better odds or more Speed for more chances? Can you double your trips to the southern trench? If so I would vote for speed.

Edit: Nald'thal's Pipe, Abroader Otter. One retrieve w/ 175 Surveillance.

I'm catching up on submersibles and while for airships it went unexpectedly smooth, I find myself "drowned" in the maritime field!

Could someone kindly give me 3 of the best builds for submersibles?
If yes, please, do it as if I was 5.

Thank you so very much.

Survey makes no differnace. have unlocked entire maps on just SSSS and UUUU builds just fine. its a (roughly) 30% unlock chance, but is pure rng. it common for people to get stuck on sectors for weeks, or open a load of them in one hit, thats just how rng works. just keep hitting it and pray to the rng gods. You best bet is a high speed/range build, and hit as many sectors that have a unlcok on them at once as you can, and spam that shizzel.

With the new levels and new sectors, what are the current farming builds?

I get the feeling that 190 surveillance might not be enough.

[mawmaw]

the discord (link on first page) has all the current BIS builds listed (there are several depending on what you are going for). 190 is the higest needed atm

i use 2 subs with a c+u+u+sy+ to farm i think its enough i found a meerkat with this build
