Eve Craters and Akatsuki Lake lokations.

[magnemoe]

Anybody know where Craters and Akatsuki Lake biomes are located. 
Guess its an pretty tiny biome, can not find it even with biomes visible and mecjeb landing to try to spot it.

There are 5 craters located "inland" more or less at the center of the continent. I suppose they are the "craters" you are looking for.

About the lake, there is the "Alcatraz" lake as I call it, the round one with the small island at the center and there is the bigger one just west of that, so big you could think it is a sea. I suppose one of them could be the Akatsuki lake you are looking for.

All the features I am describing are however pretty "big", so i guess I could be wrong.

I will try to have a look myself, maybe I could be lucky.

 

You may want to try lat -18.6328 lng 147.8320 for one of the craters.

 

About the lake I am still searching.I need to check lat 48.8671 lng 99.8437. It is a small lake almost at the pole.

Thanks for replying. 
Here is the map, the round lake is the crater lake, followed by the triangular Estern sea followed by the long western sea further east
It looks like all far north or south is pole, don't matter if water or ground. 
The 5 craters is impact ejecta. 

It looks like its an bug and the biomes are missing. 
this mod fixes this.

Hey, I know I am late to the party... but Akatsuki Lake is e.g. at

            latitude = 35.113310220547817
            longitude = 108.54618043543216

I stumbled over it accidentially at the blue crater below the grey crater north of the Eastern Sea.

I am searching for the infamous Craters biome, still...

I just stumbled upon the Akatsuki Lake biome at 0*05'14"S, 8*23'51"W.  This is on the SW shore of Crater Lake.

I know I'm responding to a 3 year old post, but hopefully someone may find this information useful.

I mean, considering this is one of the topics that comes up for "Akatsuki Lake" when searching online, I'd say it's a worthwhile necropost.

With that said, I'll confirm both of these. Both of them are *incredibly* tiny - I got a whole second to hit the science button passing over the one at 35N 108E. Apparently the one at 5S 8W is sliiiiightly larger.

Disclaimer: I run a 10.625x rescale mod, so the coordinates here may be inaccurate - but that's why I'm also trying to give some descriptions of where they are.

Lake 1:

The small one is at 0*5'23.65" S, 8*26'15.70" W. It's indeed on the southwest shore of the crater lake - it's near the north tip of the long Craters biome bordering the south edge of the lake, with a Lowlands biome just to the west of it. It's a small tilted hourglass shape, and won't even show up particularly distinctly until you're at 150x zoom or so.

Lake 2:

The pair of Akatsuki lakes is around 37*50'55.06N 108*36'49.50E. I say "pair" but it's one "large" one and one super tiny one. The general location is the pair of craters on the eastern third of the map in the north - the lakes are on the northeast rim of the crater. There are straight lines of foothills biomes to the south and northwest of the little cluster containing the Akatsuki Lake - when mousing over the lake area itself at insufficient zoom, you're likely to catch the nearby foothills biome. The other two are long lines, the area with the lake is a small spot of different color.

Lake 3: (just so I'm providing some useful content here...)

There's a third lake at 28*52'11.63" N 9*0'31.58" W. It's on a larger lake of Explodium Sea. The Craters biome forms most of a ring around the Explodium lake - the Akatsuki lake is on the northwest edge of the lake, right at the tip of the Craters biome on that side.

Lake 4: (!)

A fourth lake, just because I was poking around to test a hypothesis! This one is at 30*9'11.74" N 66*21'7.52" W. It's on the southeast edge of a crater ring around a lake in the middle of the Explodium Sea. This one's slightly different, in that it's quite a bit inland compared to the others - it's a small spot between the Craters and Peaks biomes. Interesting note: There's a Foothills biome nearby with almost exactly the same shape. Also interesting: The shape is almost the same as the one on the southwest shore of the crater lake (Lake 1.)

Hypothesis:

The Akatsuki lake is either affected by a terrain generation bug, or it's the result of one in and of itself. I found lakes 3 and 4 by just looking at any crater with "busy" borders (of which there are plenty on Eve.) My suspicion is that there's a number of these tiny "lakes" to be found, but they probably weren't meant to be quite so tiny. Feature, or ascended bug?

Speaking of which...

Lake 5:

25*46'13.47" S 142*16'29.54" E. There's a cluster of 5 craters on the east edge of the full map. The lake is along the northern edge of the southernmost crater in the cluster. This one's actually decently large - it's pretty visible even at 50x zoom, and I'd say it's probably the largest one I've found.

 

Side note:

Because it's also a pain in the neck to find, Olympus is at 28*21'35.67" S 149*9'52.96" W. There's no real landmarks near here that are visible from the larger map I'm afraid - it's in the middle of a blorf of assorted terrain on the big scansat map.

 

Edit: Oh, look, someone both figured it out and explained it on the wiki:

Although I seem to have plenty of craters and no impact ejecta...
