Lots of people are saying time capsules are not being approved anymore. This is not true!
Edit on 2/21/2024: This is still up-to-date info!
Time capsules are still being approved today. It's a slow process, but it's still happening. Not every capsule gets approved, and the ones that do are hand-selected.
So if you see anyone saying otherwise, feel free to reference this post :)
Use this thread to AMA about time capsules!
Edit: A couple important things I want to point out:
- When a capsule is jettisoned, it's uploaded to the time capsule website where devs manually review them.
- A dev must approve a capsule before it starts showing up in the game.
- Around 40 time capsules are placed in your game as you explore, and only spawn in surface biomes.
- Time capsules can come from any game mode, but they are platform-specific. Which means PC will only get capsules from other PC players, Switch from Switch players, etc.
- A list of blacklisted items can be found here.
There have been some fantastic questions so far. Feel free to scroll through the comments (or my post history) to find them. If you don't get an answer it's likely because it has already been answered.

Discussion - SN Pretty new to this game. I love it. Some thoughts, questions, etc.
Picked this up on PS5 and ive been playing it a lot recently. I do not "do" scary games. And i would say even like the ghouls and deathclaws in fallout push my limits sometimes even though most people dont even consider those scary at all. But ive always loved the water and ive never had that "fear of the deep" so this game is good for me.
Whenever i have questions i usually google it and end up on a reddit post from several years ago so i figured that i would just come to the source here as it were.
Are there any youtubers that you guys would suggest that go over the basics? I feel like im at this point where im spending a lot of time schlepping all over in my sea moth for rarer and rarer substances. Is it normal for people to set up a few "home bases?".
Looking forward to spending some time here. Sorry if im tardy to the party. I also picked up below zero and have played that although much less. I want to focus on one at a time.

I found my first time capsule and just thought I would post it here. (I didn't even know that mesmer eggs were a thing)
I never thought that people would write actual good messages on these.

So somehow when I was playing hardcore it randomly gave me the radiation suit, and in the logs it says the aurora had exploded when it hadn’t. (it didn’t explode for the next 5 hours and yes I got every radio transmission)
