Inside the Moonpool, set up the Vehicle Modification Station and the Fabricator. You may need a couple of attempts to get this right, I know I did. You should be close enough to the vent to power your base. Put up your Moonpool next to one of these vents, and build your Thermal Generators on top of the Moonpool. What you are looking for are thermal vents. Once you reach the centre of Lost River, where it splits east to the Secondary Containment Facility and west to Tree Cove, it's time to stop and take a look around. You can deconstruct it again, so you can still take the materials), then heading south and down from there.

If you've not been before, I'd suggest following the beacon signal for Lifepod 2 (build a Thermal Generator if you don't have the signal yet. I also took a couple of Medkits, just in case, and three Purple Artifacts. One Nutrient Block was enough to last me until I was established enough to have the Fabricator built, but I did take 4 Large Bottled Water. Here I prioritised food and water, taking Nutrient Blocks and Large Filtered Water. Once you've gathered your gear, and loaded up all your building materials, your PRAWN storage compartment is going to be full, and your bags won't have too much space left either. I'm not going to provide resource lists for these items, if you're reading through this guide, you should already have them. I'd suggest placing a Thermometer in there, if you can find the blueprint for it. These are the items I recommend you have equipped. You should have picked up a number of equipment modifications by now, all of which are buildable from the Modification Station or Fabricator. I took the following items, and was glad for each and every one.

The essential pieces for establishing a presence in Lost River and at the Thermal Plant. So by now you have a pile of components and resources.
