>the Sea Dragon Leviathan is far enough in development to be over 2x the size of the Reaper Leviathan (and still not at full size yet) and have most of its animations in place, including its one-hit-kill attack where it swallows you whole before you respawn back in the escape pod
Fucking christ, Subnautica is going to be giving me nightmares by the time it comes out. And this is on top of all the crazy scary shit already in it and being developed at the moment.
how the hell are you foing to fight this without guns
Where are these things going to live?
>>339220226
The Exosuit can damage and kill things with its digging arm and drill right now, and it can't be damaged by anything, but that's for sure going to change. As far as I know there won't be any lethal weapons other than the knife.
>>339220325
The only confirmed location at the moment is the Sea Dragon Den, which is down in the lava field caverns at around 1500 meters. There may be a few more in other deep-water areas later on.
>>339220226
You dont, that's what makes the game so great and keeps it from being another boring "hurr survive, craft, and kill everything" game
Nothing they have or add will ever be as terrifying as this motherfucker right here.
>>339222185
Jesus
>>339222185
How is that scary? Granted I haven't played the game, but it looks like something an 8 year old draws in his school notebook.
I just can't see that being scary.
>>339223284
You hear it roaring a lot before it spawns and when it does, it's massive and can instantly kill you if it sees you. The threat makes up for the silly design.
>>339221294
my nigga
>>339223284
You'd be surprised how much good sound design can do.

You haven't felt fear until you've played the game and encountered this fucker. Watch a video of the game where they encounter/show off this bastard, you'll understand.
>>339223862
>>339223721

>>339224032
Pity. Does the dev have a email or something?
How playable is the game so far?
>>339223606
>>339224057
Seems like a regular instant kill enemy to me, but I guess it'd be a different feeling if I actually had to encounter them myself.
>>339223608
Well it sounds really good, but I don't see how those are meant to be scary.
Here's the Reaper Leviathan compared to you. You're that little black thing under his pectoral fins. And this fucker >>339220120 is going to be much larger than the Reaper Leviathan, and even it's not going to be the biggest beastie in the game.
>>339224115
Yeah, you can contact him. I'd like to see something like ol' Dunkleo in the game, it's always been one of my favorite prehistoric beasts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujtBKXqQi1E
I guess I can see it now.
>>339224295
It's playable, but honestly to me there's a bit of a lack in content right now. Two new fuckhuge biomes are being worked on, but not much in terms of new tools, which is kind of upsetting.
>>339224492
That's diluvion you're thinking of, which still hasn't fucking come out.
>>339224492
That was from that other underwater game. Looked cool. I can never remember the game name.
>>339224362
People find the deep sea to be scary. The starting area is nice with shallow coral reefs but as you explore, it keeps getting deeper.
There's something about floating above a watery nothingness and hearing something very nasty echoing around you.
>>339224712
It usually doesn't spawn like that.
I wish I could find you a video of swimming up close to the crashed ship. It's pretty unnerving, especially if you have submechanophobia.
>tfw this game looks fun but im terrified of sea monsters
>>339220120
>with the new subnautica update you have to find the blue prints for the solar panels and the connectors
>>339223721
There are still fish today that have bone eye sockets.
Anyway dunleosteus was cool and all but the bone platings for teeth were evolutionarily stupid. That shit breaks on some tough prey and you're dead.
>>339225175
It's annoying but they're not far away. The bio reactor is generally better, especially when you find plant pots to place around it for fuel supply.
>>339223284
This game is bad at showing scale, it's a lot bigger than it looks
>>339225171
You'd love it.

The Sea Dragon's also got its sounds. Damn thing sounds like an aquatic Tyrannosaurus mixed with a bull alligator.
>>339225054
I know this will likely get me yelled at, but Markiplier's first encounter with one is a good introduction to how scary they are.

There aren't going to be guns apparently
I wonder if this means we will get a submarine as big as Sea Dragons are.
Would this run on a crappy laptop?
>>339225054
The fear of man made things being submerged? Wouldn't that be you being scared of the ship rather than the Reaper?
I always thought the phobia of sea creatures was called Thalassophobia.

At least there isn't a giant octopus or squid.
I really really love watching videos of this game, but holy fuck I don't think I'll ever be able to play it. I have an intense fear of the ocean, dark water, etc. I can't imagine playing this thing on the oculus.
>>339224712
>that video
>>339225865
It's still fucking stupid, I'd love if they had a really expensive gun like weapon that just scared shit off but couldn't reliably kill anything big.
>>339225997
It's a good thing tho.
Besides the Aurora was a research ship anyway.
>>339226017

The game has potential but currently has a severe lack of content. Having some goal would be a good idea too
>>339225595
>gameplay videos with annoying voiced commentators are a standard now
>hardly any gameplay videos without it
Please kill me.
>>339226128
But the components needed to make a simple weapon are far less complicated that what is required to build almost anything else that you can make.
I don't expect a minigun, but it seems quite ridiculous that you have access to all of this technology, but a simple weapon invented before electricity was used is unavailable.
>>339226048
Crab squid?

>>339226346
There is a propulsion rifle or something like that. Which can launch small fish and a rifle that causes stasis which is useful.
The sub also has vortex torpedoes.
>>339226346
The simple fact is this isn't a survival game where you pew-pew everything to death. You have a knife, a stasis gun, and a propulsion cannon for yourself, and vortex torpedoes for your Seamoth. That's it. You're surviving by avoiding the scary monsters, not by shooting them.

>implying my curiosity won't get the better of me and I'll remain in this thread
>>339225930
dear god
>>339226127
You have a stasis rifle that can freeze most creatures for a few seconds. You can go in with a knife to kill them but it's more a means of escape. The seamoth also has non-lethal missiles but I haven't tried them.
The devs seem fixed on the player respecting that some areas of the game will always remain dangerous and that you're not wiping out species of predator to build a villa in their area.
>>339220120
How "close" is this game to completion? I watched a few videos showcasing it as some kind of alpha or beta, as well as downloaded an older copy, but figured I would be better off waiting for a future update before throwing money at it.
I'm also assuming there will be no multiplayer of any sorts with this title, due to how that can ruin the isolation, or am I incorrect in this assumption?
>>339226368
It's like Phazon Metroid Prime and Sigma 1 spider boss had a nightmare-fueled baby.

>cute
to be honest though, a lot of the shit in game is more horrifying when you're actually playing it.
>>339226617
They have a story for it and a lot is already done, but there's still a lot to do. It's perfectly playable at the moment but there's also nothing to do besides explore, collect, build, fix the ship, scan things, and other non-story stuff. There's going to be a LOT in this game when it's done, though.
They are thinking of multiplayer, but they're not working on that yet. So far they're focusing on the single-player aspect.

>>339227337
Do I have to tell this story again?
Prior to Subnautica the developer Unknown Worlds made a game called Natural Selection 2. They hired a no hoper Australian to do their public relations for them. The problem was he got more involved and started influencing the direction of the game so much so that 70% of the entire playerbase dropped the game within a month and when a sale went on to try and recoup the losses he fucked up again by releasing an untested match which basically made the game unplayable and all the new players quit.
For 2 years the game pretty much sat in a position of a low but sustainable population but this moron got involved again as of a few months ago and started releasing weekly balancing patches which has effectively caused the entire remaining playerbase to quit for Overwatch.
He fucked up NS2 and he's going to fuck up Subnautica for you.
>>339227781
I think he's fine with his 2 million viewsI don't understand why anyone would watch this shit when Sips has superior videos
>>339223284
I highly encourage you to try/pirate it. I've gone through games like resident evils and amnesia but this game is up there with the most tense experiences I've had in the last few years. I get really nervous just going outside in the starting area. Going beyond that is extremely spooky and each little sound you hear makes you instantly want to go back to your base leaving a yellow trail behind you.
This handsome fellow is going to be at the center of the game's story, along withsome other people who crashed before you did who've turned themselves into the Warper creatures. He's going to be passive/defensive when implemented, which is good because he's going to be the biggest creature in the game, dwarfing the Reaper Leviathan and the Sea Dragon Leviathan.
>>339227850
Getting eaten is like my biggest fear and what if it drags you under while munching on you holy shit
>>339226585
the seamoths defense perimeter and the vortex torpedoes can kill creatures quite dead, larger ones just return to you quite pissed for another go
I think this is the first Subnautica thread I've seen since I got it when it went on sale with the farming update. It's everything I thought it would be.
>>339227921
>influencing the direction of the game
Was he the reason bunnyhopping was removed?
NS1 is the superior game for that reason alone
>>339227921
I wondered why the game took a sharp turn for the worse after the amazing beta, shame thought since i can't return to NS1 since NS2 killed it only for it to die a little bit later
>>339226617
>How "close" is this game to completion?

>>339227921
Never played NS2 or heard of Unknown Worlds until Subnautica, and what's the name of this public relations guy? Is he actually working on Subnautica?
>>339228021
Wait so it knocked that ship out of orbit???
>>339228021
A little too similar to the Dragon if you ask me. I hope they can change it up to make it really unique
>>339228021
Citation needed
Is there some sort of plot to this game or is it just underwater exploration stuff?
>>339228043
idk man the way i look at it if somethings gonna try and eat me out there, its gonna be a shark. a shark isnt gonna kill me because im gonna punch the motherfucker til it lets go.
more likely, its gonna maim me and ill either be unable to keep swimming and drown, or a bunch of other sharks will be attracted to me and ill get gibbed in less than a minute.
those two outcomes sound bad, but on top of it being statistically really low that i do get attacked, if i did, itd only be a few minutes of pain and then its over. there are way worse ways to die. like being burned to death but only enough that your face melts off and you die of infection later on. that shit is horrible man i would never wish that on anyone
>>339228289
There's a hostile, intelligent race on the planet. And they're looking for you.

His name is Hugh Jeremy and yes he is working on Subnautica
http://steamcommunity.com/id/strayan/
He does most of the announcements for the game on the website and on steam. If it's clear he's getting involved in the development then run as far away from Subnautica as possible because watching Natural Selection 2 die was actually painful
>>339228393
Is there going to be a way to escape back into orbit to win the game?
>>339228289
Not quite, from what we know and guessed the Warper is the one shooting down spaceships and the Sea Emperor is supposed to "help you" solving this problem.
This is only speculation from the few infos the dev' gave about them.
>>339228387
As of now, pretty much only exploration/survival. You can still find survivors logs and stuff but the storyline is not yet implemented.
>>339220120
>We have a rare, giant sea serpent enemy. What should we add?
>I know, another rare, giant sea serpent enemy!
How imaginative. They should have added giant crabs or something
I feel like they went a bit silly, cartoonish and colourful on the designs for it to be truly horrifying.
>>339228289
Don't know. It's all a mystery. All we know is that it's imprisoned in a really deep zone.
>>339228329
They're related creatures, at least in the same family, which is why they look pretty similar. Animations, behaviors, sounds, and other things will be different.
>>339228367
It was on the developers' site or a tweet, can't remember where.
>>339228530
>You can still find survivors logs
Oh good
This is what I was hoping there to be. Reading and piecing together the stories of the dead who came before me is fun to me
>>339228152
I don't know if he removed bunnyhopping but he has been responsible for the entire biomass balancing match which made the game a lot less enjoyable
He's also been responsible for adding health bars to the game recently which has pissed a lot of people off
>>339228506
If this guy killed the previous game so badly why are they still using him?
>>339228652
>dead
Or are they?
>>339228021>some other people who crashed before you did who've turned themselves into the Warper creatures
Wait what
H-how?
>>339228557
Planned from the start.
>>339228569
Playing it for a while will get you used to the cute and cartonny fishes... until one of them hellspawned fucking monster come and say hi.
They may look cartoony but they can scare you a lot actually.
>>339228652
Then I think you may like it when it'll be done, most of the game will basicly be exploring and finding whatever infos and logs the previous owner of the abandoned base you just found left inside.
>>339228557
They're working on them. There's also the Sea Treader which is a tripod crab thing.
who here submechanophobic
>>339227921
As far as i've seen the guy hasn't done jack shit to subnautica throughout its development, so why should I be worried now?
>>339228771
I honestly don't know. It's a small development team and maybe they're all friends or something but boy does the NS2 community hate him. Whenever he is criticized he responds in an extremely childish way
He called the entire Australian NS2 community "cunts" because they hated his game balance changes
Jesus Christ this whole thread is fueled with nightmare
Too bad its another early access game that will never see the light of the release day
Is there any ETA by devs about when it will be finished?
>>339228939
He did jack shit during the beta of NS2 but took more of an active involvement at release so watch out.
In its current state I have no doubt Subnautica is probably getting better with each build which was the same with NS2 up until about 1 year after release
>>339229062
Apparently in 2 months
>>339228569
Just like real life. In fact it's the most colorful creatures who are the deadliest.

>>339228885
Wasn't the rock puncher removed from the game because he wasn't really useful or something ?
>>339229062
Supposedly August but i'm not sure if it will be 100% done. They are planning a shitload of content.
It's actually pretty enjoyable as of now. Just don't expect to have any clear objective, it more like a diving simulator with a bit of survival/crafting aspect for the moment.I still have hope for this one.
>>339228869
One of the planed later tech trees is bioengineering yourself with native dna to better survive in the water. I guess they took it to the point of no return.
>>339228869
I have a feeling it's going to be similar to the Whale Squids from "Gargantia on the Verduous Planet" where it's just some genetic experiment stuff.
So this >>339229176
might not be far off from the truth
>>339229374
They put it on hold when they decided not to let you influence the terrain, but it's back on the development block along with terraforming.
>>339228652
>I messed up. Real bad this time. It's been two days since what happened. We never should have left this island. I shouldn't have listened to them. We shouldn't have gone so deep. They don't want us down there. They don't trust us. I knew it and I didn't say. I could see it, and they couldn't, and now they're stuck down there, and I'm up here, alone. I deserve this.
Fun times
>>339229374
Depends on the context. If cunt is used among friends and that i.e. "haha funny cunt", it's generally laughed off but to call someone a cunt is seen as rude.
Australian culture is the worst. That's why we're "multicultural" now; we had no culture in the first place so we decided to latch on to everyone else's.
>>339229463
yeah.. no, there would have been no native teleporting species to begin with to take the material from. the transfuser was in the game already , and it just gave you stuff like more health , less oxygen consumption , acid piss or whatever
>>339228021
If that's the biggest then I'll be disappointed.
Will my dream of looking into the darkness of the abyss and seeing a hockey rink sized eye below me ever come true?

Making a sea monster that big would be hard to do in a video game. Unless it doesn't move or something.
>>339229750
>>Australian culture is the worst. That's why we're "multicultural" now; we had no culture in the first place so we decided to latch on to everyone else's.
>http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/austn-humour
Australia does actually have a distinct culture. It's just being drowned out by multi-cultists.
>>339229798
That creature will be the biggest but there is another creature larger than that concept art, so you can expect the Sea Emperor to be a lot bigger than it is in that piece of art.
They've released the Battery and Power Cell charters in experimental mode. Apparently it'll update next week.
Get fucking ready, you will actually get to use the Cyclop without that feeling of ticking clock
>>339229798
It won't be the biggest. He is like medium size of the big ones.
>>339229614
Shit, terraforming is kept ? Good news then.
>>339229798
you are some sort of size queen? it can never be large enough? well..there is a skeleton to be found, with a skull the size of a building. maybe there will be a living one ...or its the emperors final size.
>>339229898
I'd settle for a massive appendage that emerges from the ground. The implication of an impossibility large creature beneath you is enough.
>>339229798
That's just concept art. He's going to be a fuckton bigger when implemented.
>>339229998
Here is the pic you forgot anon.
It's already kinda in the game, i could go take a screenshot of it if you want, but it's disapointing for the moment.
hmm, I was never big on those early access 'survival' games because a lot of them turns out to be an unpolished turd, but this peaked my interest
So, it's good I take it? It looks good
>watch a few videos
Man, this gets way less scary when you see the monsters awful swimming animations
>>339228021
Any other Terraria players here? Wouldn't it be great if releasing the Sea Emperor also activated "hard mode" like defeating the WoF? New creatures, new events, and even bigger threats to be discovered.
Don't suppose there are any good streams for this game huh? I want to check it out butI am both scared and poor.
>>339229902
I hardly think that "hurrr bogans straya cunt" is culture.
Not saying that multiculturalism is good either. Having a bunch of mudslimes and gooks here is just as bad.
>>339230140
subnautica is more polished than many so called "released" survival games right now.
>>339230094
The skeleton is enough. I just like the idea of being in the presence of an impossibility large creature that makes you feel vulnerable and insignificant just by knowing it exists.
>>339230140
Very good. Very taxing on computers, though. Last time I played bad frame drops were still common even on my decent build
>>339230140
It's good if you can put up with the bare content, almost no storyline, and bugs/unemplemented stuffs.. But It's also fucking rad if you like exploring, ambiance base stuff and deep sea shit in general.
Your call here pal.
>>339230148
the animation isnt done obviously. it lacks the physics on the tentacles dragging behind, and its path finding is taken from a smaller creature
>>339230231
>I hardly think that "hurrr bogans straya cunt" is culture.
Did you read the article I linked? A lot of our "hurr bogans straya cunt" actually stems from a culture of anti-authoritarianism, black humour and being laid back about certain things which would probably get you hit in the face in other countries.
If something exists, an Australian has probably had a laugh about it. Australians in the late 19th and early 20th century often relied on black humour as a means of coping with the horrible circumstances they were facing.
>>339230061
There was a creature planned very early on that was like a giant sand worm thing that would rise from the ground and attack anything that swam over it. It's still in the files, but it has no sounds or animations other than going up and back down. I don't think they'l be doing anything with it, though, which is a shame.
>>339230274
To give you an idea, the one currently in the game... you are as big as one of the back teeth.
>>339230175
I'd recommand you go watchVinnyplay it, since it's pretty chill. But it's really better to try it yourself, go get it on TPB or something maybe.
>>339230175
Watch videos of it? Sips has some chill videos
>>339228869In one of the previous survivor's voice logs there's mention of a bacterial infection which can change one's genetic codeThe same log also implies that it's everywhere on the planet meaning you would also be infected
>>339230584I guess that explains why so many of the monsters have human-like arms and torsos
>>339230482
oh well that role is taken by the sand sharks. these fuckers... they made them so fucking aggressive and much faster in the last patches, they are an actual threat now. swimming along, thinking of nothing bad, when 20 meters beneath me one of these large mouthed fucks shoots out of the sand straight at me.... i forgot my repulsion canon at home , i imagine the water around me suddenly turned brown
>think this game looks really cool and all the organisms look interesting
>new ones are getting added that just keep getting bigger and bigger
I want to enjoy this game but my fear of big things in the ocean just keep me paranoid every second.
>>339224509
Nothing says they have to be on the bottom desu fampai
>>339230709
explains why you are having to drink 40 liters a day, and eat a whole horse.
When's this getting added?
>>339220120
is the game /v/ came up with a while back?
>>339230856
A lot of people want a kraken-type creature, so it's likely only a matter of time.
>>339229750
You can fucking leave cunt.
>>339230856
>>339230756
>Power creep is now size creep
>Next year they will add something like pic related
R8 my game
>>339230442
Yeah, I suppose IRL shitposting counts as a culture to some.
>>339231060
So it's like an aquatic based Shadow of the Colossus with deep-sea spooks? Sounds kind of cool.
>>339230442
Did you ever go to school?, Our culture are the convicts the aussie battler fighting the wildlife, Ned kelly, the gold rush, Anzacs you are ignorant to say we don't have a culture of our own, A accent of our own, a way of life of our own.
>>339231060
Honestly I would really prefer it if subnautica went with a less cartoonish look and something more like in those pictures.
Though with the recent addition of the Crabsquid and the Spine eel I think I might be getting my wish
>>339231060
Protag design
>>339224509
It's not quite finished but here goes.
>>339229967
Actually, they're still removing terraforming, but they still want to implement the Rock Puncher, though it'll likely be after the game launches.
Can you escape a sub that's under attack? Or does it just get destroyed and insta kills you?
>>339230924
nnah, it would be a nightmare to code and animate, you couldn't give it procedural animated tentacles, it all has to be canned animations which makes it look stiff, less organic. if you would try to animate each tentacle seperately, giving each arm its own AI , controlled by some hive mind main ai, giving the orders which arm has to attack/constrict/move any target, you would need to create some sort of 3d space navigational mesh , like hitboxes for navigation, so these arms would know whats grab able and whats not, where it can wrap around and where not. its a nightmare and would consume so much development time, they could develop 60 other creatures and technologies in the same time.
>>339231130
It's more than just shitposting. This worldview has pretty much shaped how we view everyday life and affects multiple different things.
>>339231178
Did you respond to the right person? I'm (>>339230442) supporting the notion that Australia does have culture.
>>339224295
A year ago I would have told you it was nothing at all. Like Indev minecraft levels of done. Now I would say it's infdev maybe? There's considerably more features and it's playable but you'll run into the issue of "This is where the game would continue if those parts of the games were made yet"
>>339231060
What sort of variety could we expect from the Colossi? And how would they be dealt with when they reach a gigantic size?
It sounds cool but I honestly don't think it would work out. SotC fights were either won because of low Colossus mobility or using terrain/gravity, which wouldn't really transfer to underwater battles.
>>339231185
the creatures look less cartoony ingame, the water keeps swallowing a lot of the color , there are quite murky areas, they had to overdo the colors to compensate for that
>>339226124
That's the old sounds, though. The new ones vary based on distance and sound much more frightening.
Loud as FUCK when they're right on top of you.
I just realized that my fear of jellyfish and giant underwater creatures both came from that bossfight in Indiana Jones and The Emperor's Tomb.
>>339231339
you can escape, but it will cost you dearly.. these subs are already without upgrades expensive to build
>>339231537
I'm generally talking about shape as well, the sand shark, the sea treader, even the reaper all look a little cartoony, but the crabsquid looks semi realistic and horrifying, as does the spine eel. And jesus fuck the sounds they make are spoopy.
>>339231339
You can't get out when it's under attack. And the Sea Dragon will swallow you and the Seamoth in one gulp.
>>339231402
Yeah, sorry was meant to be >>339230231
>>339231723
ive managed to get out a couple of times, sometimes it just flings me out of my sub and i can escape while my sub acts as decoy while getting destroyed
>>339220120
>attack where it swallows you whole
I don't think my pants will like this game
>>339231402
>more than just shitposting
Oh fucking kek, 2/10 for effort.
>>339230772
I'm realizing I never took a picture of my main base, only the mini bases.
>>339224752
I wish this game would come out.
Where do I find the aluminium for the pressure compensator?
>>339231873
building a base at 38 meters.
built mine in the blood kelp zone to harvest all that awesome crap, its so fucking dark there all the time i had to install a shit ton of floodlights , making my base look like a disco ball
>>339224712
That looks silly as hell, it just gets like stuck.
>>339224509
I always build in the kelp forests because of the nice view outside and the relative safety and availability of sunlight.
They need to make farming a bit harder, it sorta trivializes hunger right now.
>>339228021
It looks exactly like the final boss kaiju in Pacific Rim.
>>339232048
its near the blood kelp area, where its crossing with the sea threaders path zone. i see you look for that aluminium oxide stuff as well. right now im about to start to find it
http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Subnautica_Wiki
>>339232187
Still in development, and a lot of the videos are old, the game gets updated quite frequently. Some pathing problems sitll exist but the creatures generally don't freeze or get stuck much now.
>>339232416
I'll definitely keep an eye for this game, looks pretty interesting.
>>339232216
hunger and thirst annoys me.. its like my character has the metabolism of a guinea pig.... they need to find another solution for that eating and drinking stuff. like an actual calorie meter like the long dark has, and make food a bit harder to obtain. as soon you got your hanging fruit farm, you dont need anything anymore. it gives you plenty of water and food at the same time. already deconstructed my water filtration. my hanging fruits also power my bio reactors.
OKay I just pirated Subnautica and I have no fucking clue what I'm doing
>>339232187
Well, when you spawn a large deep sea creature into the shallows where it doesn't belong its going to get stuck. A lot of the pathing problems are really only in the demo videos where players just spawn the shit in rather than go to its natural environment which was likely designed just so that it would look menacing and not goofy.
>>339231873
Mini bases are comfy in a way big bases never will be. That cozy "little remote cabin" feel.
>>339232583
The fuck is happening? A sinkhole opening up or something?
>>339232664
>just pirated
you are doing it wrong
>>339228391
lol
a few years ago we had a guy get attacked by bronze whalers
they took of his left arm and right hand in a feeding frenzy
dude managed to swim all the way to shore and bystanders managed to save him
he said the whole time he was just dreading the thought that at any time as he frantically swam to shore pissing blood, he expected to be hit by a great white from below or to be dragged back further out
fuck. that. shit. man.
>>339231060
Sign me up.
>>339232664
First get a knife, then a scanner, then scan the little safes you find everywhere, then build a mobile vehicule bay, then the seamoth and the go explore, build your base, craft whatever you want...
>>339232760
looks like it. reminds me at the lake peigneur salt mine drilling disaster. it created for a short time the largest/highest waterfalls in the U.S.

>>339230584
Where the hell is this? There's only two bases in the game and in one of them the PDAs are blank.
>>339233064
theres bases on the islands, and a deep sea base
>>339232291
Thanks
can someone give me the name of some other sandbox games where you can build some comfy bases? Preferably with low syst req
>>339233205
Yeah, the base on the island just has a PDA that says "good thing my son got his botany imprint now we won't starve"
Nothing about what that post says
>>339233279
>>339233064
>>339233282
The cave where you got the crab snake has a base somewhere, it's a log in there if I remember correctly.It's spoopy there.
Also there are like 3 or 4 logs on the island.
>>339233364
>minecraft
pls no
>>339233279
Starbound, Minecraft and Terraria comes to mind, there might be more.
>>339233368
Weird, only the one log works for me. Then again I'm always in the experimental branch, so whatever.
>>339232664
Craft air tank and knife. Then craft a scanner. Then craft a radiation-proof suit.
Scan everything you can, search for fragments. Fragments are typically placeholder boxes on the ground, apart for the subs, which are modelised
Find a nice place to start a base. Preferably somewhere deep and open enough so you won't have troubles expanding. Craft a fabricator, two waters filtration machines, and a big water tank (not a simple aquarium). Catch some fishes of the same specie and release them in the tank. Now you've got the hunger and thirst issue out of the way.
>>339233483

Well fuck off then
The deep sea is my greatest fear but these designs aren't really doing it for me, you'd think being to alien wouldn't be a problem considering the crazy sit that's in our oceans but they just don't look or sound scary.
Even a harmless and beautiful encounter with a whale is scarier then this.
