So I realise I might be late with this but I just started playing Subnautica and holy shit this game is scary. What the fuck I want to play this game but I am constantly shitting my pants?
Also deepsea thread I guess, those are always fun.

Seriously
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcUqpXVfaDo
I don't think this one is in the game yet but goddamnit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnur1EqtnNo&feature=youtu.be
>>342260506it isyou want to know what the best part is?devs plan to add bigger creatures
>>342260790
goddamnit. How do people manage to play this game? Should I just get drunk and try again or something. Night time creeps me the fuck out.
>>342260790
They already have. Much bigger than a reaper.
>>342259874
You have no idea son. I have a severe fear of the sea since childhood. It took me more than 30 minutes to work up the courage to make that first jump into the ocean (in fucking daylight).
>>342259874
Yeah it's pretty fun. I wish my computer wasn't so shitty, so that I could properly enjoy it. Seeing streamers play it at 60fps compared to the crazy stuttering and shit I get on medium setting really upsets me.
How do so many of you have a fear of the ocean? It's just a video game you pile of babies.
>>342262296
Thats weird, Im using a GTX 670 and its running pretty well.
Are they almost done making this shit? I promised myself I'd never buy another early access game
so what do you do with these creatures? capture them? kill them?
the ocean is scary sometimes
>>342262348
it's not irrational, the oceans are a scary place, probably the most hostile place on earth, and that is just the surface.
going deep, well we don't know what the fuck is down there
>>342262668
Some can be eaten, some drop valuables resources, some guards areas and will attack you if you bother them to much.
Some will gobble you and your ship in one bite if they sneak up on you.
>>342262930
>>342262930
Looks so peaceful
>>342262930
RIP brave fool
>>342262949
There are some species still not discovered I believe?
>>342263828
There's no way to possibly know that
But yeah duh there are definitely thousands of undiscovered species.
It's a long way down
Played this game for a bit, quite fun. The only issue I had with it, is that there were too many aggressive creatures in the game.
The game would work much better if you were lulled into a false sense of security as you were looking for resources, with hostile creature attacks more rare and sudden/unexpected. I spend a lot of time juking around sandsharks as I scan fragments since they're everywhere.
>>342265839
This is my complaint, too. The sandsharks and bonesharks especially are way too numerous in certain areas, though that does reflect real life. But one you get the stasis rifle or repulsion gun you can deal with them more easily.
>>342263653
ORIGINAL VIDEO WHERE
>>342265367
They're making bigger ones though, right?
have they added anything since the power nap update?
>>342266196
>you explore a giant mountain underwater
>suddenly an earthquake?
>it just moves and turns out to be a fucking huge hermit crab
>>342266617
they do an update a month so no
>>342266196
For the moment, for story purposes, the Sea Emperor is going to be the largest creature in the game. Who knows what crazy mega-beasts they'll put in later, though.
For reference, the Cyclops submarine and the Reaper Leviathan are 149 feet long.
>still no crab
>still no turtle
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>342266734
>>342266737
Any idea if they're close to finished? Early access is usually cancer
>>342262348
Out in the middle of an unexplored nowhere with no sign of civilization or direction to go in any direction around you. You're completely isolated. There are millions of living organisms beneath you but you can't see anything and you don't know how many of them are hostile.
How are you NOT scared of the ocean. We're not talking just playing in the shallow tide at the beach, which even that can be scary with whirlpools, huge waves and lately sharks coming closer inland.
We're talking Sortie en Mer ocean terror.

>>342267095
August is their target launch date for 1.0
>>342267095
wouldn't say close, this seems like one of those games to do that is being constantly developed, like early minecraft and Ark, performance isn't great but supposedly they're removing the terraforming in the net patch as the game checks each section for terrain modification as it loads, so it kind of chuggers quite regularly if you're moving quick.
Gameplay wise it's pretty fun, they're constantly adding new gadgets and such and the game drip feeds just enough information for you to get in but you never feel like you're being guided anywhere... Unless you get a beacon that guides you somewhere on the map.
>>342265838
STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP
>>342266990
They're retooling it since they're removing terraforming, but the Rock Puncher is one crab-like creature they intend to put in. Won't be until after it launches, though.
>>342266990
There actually is a crab if you look in the blood kelp biome
>>342267819
>>342267958
>removing terraforming
So instead of optimizing the game, they're just stripping features?
>>342268209
Just a rumour I heard, to be fair I don't really bother with terraforming myself, I can live without it.
>>342259874
Yeah, I'm going to wait afew more updates before I dive in to the game again.
>>342268209
Terraforming was causing too many problems, plus they don't want people doing things like digging down into the lower areas or out of the map. And it's only one thing they've removed, calm down.
>>342268209
they're LITERALLY removing it TO optimize the game, kys
Damn it /v/ this game gets me hype as fuck, lets hope it doesn't turn into a blunder.
>>342268581
>kys
type it all out you lazy faggot
>>342268707
kys
How the FUCK do you sustain/explore if you have a base at 400m?
I built my first base at shallows and slowly built a second base at some 400m point. Exploring is ALWAYS cut short by oxygen loss though. I barely get 3 minutes to walk aruound before I have to start walking back to my base for air The fuck do I have to do to be able to breath and explore? I have like 5 high capacity oxygen tanks and the ultra fins and it still isn't enough to just go out and do whatever. It's gotten to the point where I just explore until I drown then on the next trip I pick stuff up and walk back to save my inventory.
>>342269140
Build the Seamoth you faggot.
>>342269245
I only have 3/5 parts for it. What depth do you find its parts at? I kind of just swim around willy nilly.
>>342269140
Seamoth and Cyclops with depth upgrades. You'll need a bioreactor or thermal reactor for power at that depth.
>>342269140
Sustain:
Get the bioreactor, the pots and grow plants.
I really hope the devs work on this guy and put him in. He'd be at home on the Dunes and Mountains areas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFtfPOCQwiY
>>342269359
You're trying to tell me you dive 400 meters deep regularly enough to build a base here with only your slow as fuck fans and never, ever thought about building a sub?
Fragments aren't deep, check by the red plateaux or the kelp forests, I think I recall a few of them here. In general if you find a fragment in a biome you'll find the rest nearby or at similar depth.
While you're at it go take a look around for the Moonpool and the Thermal Reactor. In general whenever you see a peice of tech you don't already own scan that shit.
>>342262930
just had a little panic attack from this. thanks
Allright I got my knife. radiation suit, flippers, some food and two oxygyen tanks (one in my inventory and one on the actual character). Now what the fuck do I do? Exploring is difficult because I keep running out of air.
>>342269140
build the rebreather helmet, makes your oxygen last longer
>>342259874
The trick is to build a sea base so large it takes up the entire ocean. Then there's no room for anything big and scary to live in it.
>>342270563
Upgrade your air tanks, then you'll have around 135 seconds of air.
Make a rebreather helmet, but you'll have to wait until you fix the Aurora's engines and the radiation goes away to use it.
Build a Seaglide for faster long-range movement.
Build a Seamoth.
Build a Cyclops.
>>342270720
They're going to implement a mechanic where you base can come under attack by various creatures, especially if you've built a large base or a base close to where they dwell. At the same time they'll be putting in a base defense system you'll need to find and build and maintain.
>>342270930
you dont have to, just do not swim close to the aurora, and you never will need the radiation suit. it was actually one of the last things ive built
>>342270930
How do I upgrade my tanks?
>>342271260
Plenty of good stuff near or in the Aurora mate.
>>342271260
You'll have to fix the Aurora when they put in the story stuff, and they'll likely make it so that if you don't everything will become irradiated.
>Yfw real sealabs exist
>>342270930
>is afraid of a little bit of radiation
>>342261262
Since I'm a pansy and wanna play horror games, I get hammered, turn on the game and the fear is somewhat gone.
It's just I'm so drunk I don't know what I'm doing.
Come back from exploring a deep cave with a sliver of oxygen left and see this.
>>342271339
Find the parts to the Modification Station, it will let you upgrade your tanks, fins, and knife.
Fins: Go Faster version and Recharge Equipment version
Tanks: Lighter version and More Air version
Knife: Heated version and Diamond version
Personally I go with Faster fins, More Air tanks, and Heated knife.
>>342270930
I just go with the radiation suit at all times, too lazy remember how far radiation goes.
>>342271627
>You call that deep
I bet it's barely 400 meters deep.
>>342262648
Just pirate it and buy if you decide it's worth it.
>>342263653
did he dead?
>prefer shitty twitch memesong over an actual decent meme cover
>>342271726
Oh right, piracy exists. I honestly don't know why I didn't even consider that as an option. Thanks
>>342271646
Shit Im still only on the starter base, I bet I cant install the modification thingy in there? Should I aim to build the big submarine first or is it better to build a base first?
>>342271627
Welp. It's his sub now.
>>342271403
nothing you need from the get go.
i had a self sustaining base at 600 meters with bio reactors, thermal reactors, nuclear reactors, moonpool , scanner room and tons of decoration clutter, plus a hanging fruit garden before i considered a radiation suit to get the upgrade module you can find inside the aurora
>>342259874
Thalassophobia, op. I have it too. Don't Google it. The images that come up are some terrifying shit.
>>342271841
Base first. Then put solar panels everywhere enarby until you find the thermal reactor blueprint and find a good place to put it for infinite power.
Then build the moonpool, then the seamoth. Then go build whatever you want.
>>342271646
i never understood what makes the tanks lighter, they still need as many inventory slots as high cap tanks
pressure thread?
>>342271841
Best bet is to build a smaller base 100m or so down as you collect fragments for the other stuff. Seaglide then Seamoth are the best two first builds, the extra speed and range of exploration they grant you are worth it over saving up for the big submarine right off the bat.
>>342272052
NEVER EVER
>>342272052
SOMA was closer to Pressure in theme and tone than Subnautica. But I do feel like if someone modded Subnautica they could make pressure. It already has the modular habitat pieces needed to make randomized levels, and a flooding mechanic.
Why is Subnautica one of the only good survival games out there?
>>342271841
You'll have to build a base since you can't really put anything into the escape pod, but it doesn't need to be big. You'll need solar panels for some power and a fabricator and enough room for a few things like lockers and the mod station. Fortunately a lot of the pieces you need to scan are in the Safe Shallows and Kelp Forest so it shouldn't be hard to find them.
>>342272039
Each air tank in your inventory slows your movement speed a little bit. Lighter air tanks don't decrease your movement speed as much.
>tfw you will never be a professional aquanaut
>>342271804
There's also experimental releases where you can spawn newer content but it'll be buggier.
>>342272039
Weight effects speed.
>>342272279
orly?
i never realized this since when you start without tanks, and when you finaly have them, you also have fins, which kinda negates the speed you loose . and then you upgrade to ultra glides, and hi cap tanks... i dont really see the point of the light tanks. they should also reduce the inventory slots they need
>>342272206
It has a well crafted world, runs well enough whilst looking great and controls nicely. Most survival games fall down on one or all of the above.
>>342272497
Oh hey look it's white Aziz Ansari
>>342272548
kek, he does look just like him
>>342272548
damn dude spot on
>>342272548
The game is terrifying at first, but here's some things to think about;
You're safe in that starting zone. The "Safe Shallows", the HUGE sea critters never spawn there. Worst you have to worry about is drowning and crashes, the exploding assholes. They respond to movement, so if you hear gurgling, stop moving.
Of the "big scary" variety, there's only one in the game right now, the Reaper Leviathan, and they only spawnaround the ship, particularly the engines in the back, and in the dunes area, which is a dead sandy biome. Not the one with the red grass, that's the grassy plains. You'll know when they're around, they like to roar pretty much constantly. They're not at all sneaky.
Most of the small carnivores are pretty easy to avoid. Get a seamoth and they're a nonissue unless you're scavenging for materials around them.
Oh and if you're on the surface of the water, don't look down. Looking down and seeing pretty much nothing but dark is the scariest part of the whole game for me.
>>342272501
Tanks don't need inventory slots anymore, they're equiped like the suit.
>>342272821
>they only spawnaround the ship, particularly the engines in the back, and in the dunes area, which is a dead sandy biome
It's not nice to lie, anon.
Just a reminder that, while the Inactive Lava Zone and the Lava Castle are the fixed encounter locations for it, the Sea Dragon Leviathan can also spawn in the large open areas and the Void.
Happy exploring.
will they ever implement weaponry or multiplayer?
my favorite aspect of 'build shit and survive' games is the eventual mid/lategame portion where you go full Judge Dredd on everything
>>342272823
only one tank is. the additional ones still take up inventory space. i use 5 high cap tanks, one is in the suit slot, the other ones are in my inventory
>>342272083
>>342272313
>>342272497
How do I get to the point where I am living that life
>>342265838
posting the world border isn't fair
>>342272938
They're putting in various torpedoes for the Seamon and an electrical defense system, and you have the Knife, Stasis Rifle, and Propulsion Gun. They're not putting in any actual guns, though.
Is it better now than it was 6 months ago? Got it in the winter sale and refunded since month was right and wanted something more finished. This thread is making me want it again and the summer sale is about to start.
>>342272930
>forget one biome
>a lie
And the mountains. There, happy, nerd?
>>342273162
Money was tight*
>>342273162
There's much more content, but the story elements aren't completely in place and they're still adding creatures and stuff. August is their projected release time for version 1.0
>>342273059
If I knew I wouldn't be on 4chan, I would be chilling in an underwater base somewhere watching fish go by and picking out which dolphin to fuck after lunch, all like "hmm...that one"
getting food and water is kinda tedious, any way to automate this ?
>>342273059
I'm not kidding what should I study in college to do this, I've just been taking random bullshit so far
>>342273162
See >>342271726
>>342273441
Dolphins are lousy with stds.
>>342273510
Marine biology, at Florida International University (which owns Aquarius). Or industrial diving if you want to be the habitat technician.
>>342260790

>>342273503
You can't "automate" it per se, but you can build water purifiers and grow plants. The Stilsuit also recycles your body waste water every so often so you never have to worry about getting water in other ways.
Does this shit have mp?
>>342273503
Make a tank in your base and fill it with those bladder fish for water and any other fish for food. Alternatively get planters and fruit trees from the floating island.
>>342273596
That's where I put my first base, but I eventually decided that while I liked the kelp access, I didn't like the murky green water.
>>342271718
The sub was about 500m but I went down about 700 something in the cave. I'm working on upgrading my pressure compensater up to 900m
I really love having my sea base by the kelp fields.
>>342273731
They're aware of the demand but aren't going to try to add it until after release.
>>342273059
When the Polar ice caps melt.
I've been salty about subnautica the past few months because I lost my save.
My first playthrough I really liked the game and played almost 10 hours straight before it crashed. I then quickly learned that Subnautica doesn't have auto-saving despite auto-"saving" your character every time you return to your base.
I'm reinstalling now though...
>>342273731
No.
Their official stance on it is that they have no plans to do multiplayer right now. It's on permanent "maybe one day" status. until otherwise stated.
"Haha hey look Frank I'm a shark"
"Fuck off Tony I'm pissing"
"...Show me your penis Frank, just a glimpse"
"Tony what the hell....ok though"
>>342273898
Dear dev i know you are reading, just fucking add mp and your user base will multipley, you don't need more meme fishes.
>>342273927
Don't reinstall if you're salty about losing your save.
Each one of the bigger updates tends to require you to start a new save, especially the ones that alter biomes/add biomes.
>>342273658
Sounds good

Hello there
>>342274204
Being a saturation diver for the oil and gas industry is what will let you be out in the open ocean the most often. It also pays very well but you have to stop after 5-10 years or health problems begin to accumulate. After that you have to choose something else to do with your life but you'll have a shitload of money to do that with if you saved it up and didn't live outside your means while diving.
>>342273503
Install two water purifiers for infinite water and salt
Build a tank in your base and fill it with the same specie of tiny fish, they'll reproduce and you'll have an endless supply.
You can also grow fruit from seed you get in the island but they're not as nourishing as a cooked fish + purified water and takes up more space, but it's good to have a few tree in the cyclops and the base.
>>342274453
What kind of health problems are we talking about here? This is all very interesting btw
>pop-in out the ass
>Fans suddenly go into overdrive
>>342274591
osteoporosis and glaucoma mostly, a side effect of spending too much time living in a pressurized nitrogen rich atmosphere.
>>342273927
Yeah the "auto save" just secures your inventory, doesn't actually save.
It's still in development though so you can pretty much expect big updates to break saves, if that ruins it for you then you should probably wait for the full release.
>>342274007
Like I said they know about the demand since people ask all the time but their stance is to prioritize getting a completed game experience/story out first.
My guess is they'll add it as an expansion/update as long as the game doesn't bomb.
>>342272497
I bet it smells awful
>>342274745
Just reveal yourself for the dev you are, friend.
The reaper is kinda bad honestly
If your not in a seamoth, he insta-kills you, if you are in a sea moth he two-shots you and if your in a cyclops i guess you two just sorta stare at each other for a bit
He's less scary and more annoying
Also this thing when
>Tfw there will never exist a real undersea colony you could go live in
>>342274740
>pressurized nitrogen rich atmosphere
You mean kind of like Earth's atmosphere?
>>342274526
More important question:
Is there any way to destroy materials because my base filled up with salt last time I made water purifiers.
Witness the comfiness of Conshelf 3 (this really got built)
>>342268378
same, release is scheduled for august so i can wait a month or two. this game was not bad for an early access game though
>>342269140
>i did not know that your oxygen is used up faster the deeper you go if you do not have the re-breather equipped
You have to pay a pretty hefty price to have the armored helmet equiped.
>>342275021
Yeah but way more nitrogen and at a higher pressure. Oxygen is reduced and displaced with extra nitrogen in order to increase the depth you can dive to without Oxygen toxicity kicking in.
>>342274843
Do you always assume everyone who mentions what devs say in official posts are the devs themselves?
>>342274445
I swear they just look the sounds for these guys and stuck them into the game.
>>342273510
What this anon >>342273658 said.
If this is what you really want to do then go for it; you wont regret it.
I had a bio professor in college who specialized in lantern fish.
>>342275025
just don't remove the salt.
It will keep making water but not the salt.
>>342274843
Nah just like the game. Found it way earlier and its been fun to watch how much its developed.
They've kinda slowed on keeping the development trello up-to-date though I think they're working heavily on the story now for final release which they don't wanna spoil too much even though everyone knows the general outline.
>>342275291
fuckin love that movies directors cut
>>342275180
I see. That's pretty interesting.
>>342275439
Does the game have enough representation of transexxual and afro american scientists?
>>342275025
I think they mentioned that they're gonna add an incinerator to destroy stuff and produce a little energy.
Where the fuck did my crash pod go? I had left some gear in it a while back and when I when back to the original spot I marked with a beacon it's just...gone. I've swam over 5000 meters from the original beacon I dropped by it to where its icon is displaying and I STILL havent reached it
I don't REALLY need what was inside of it but where the fuck did it go? Its symbol is seemingly off the goddam map.
>>342275291
Exploring wrecks can be pretty panic-inducing if you don't watch your oxygen and way back out.
>>342275684
It drifts.
For some reason it starts to REALLY drift after a couple of hours.
>>342275556
Yeah, we CAN adapt to really exotic conditions but there is a high price to be paid eventually. That's why the trend these days is towards mini subs and diving exoskeletons that keep pressure out instead of adapting you to it. Pic related.
I hate to say it but probably before these enter widespread use, humanoid ROVs will be good enough that we stop sending human divers altogether.
>>342271040
FUCK
>>342262930
Hold up, if he sinks like that without paddling, doesn't that mean that he has exhaled past negative bouyancy, and now he has to actively swim back up. Without flippers?!
>>342275993
If I was a billionaire I'd waterproof a small plane and convert it into a submarine, then I will just dive slowly around area where plungers dive, staring blankly at them through the window as I act like everything's normal.
Does that make sense?
Subnautica is pretty much the only game for past decade or so that legitimately gave me chills and made me force-quit the game once.
Built a base at around 200ft depth near where you start and everything was fine until I learned that just a few yards away there's a continental shelf with such a sheer steepness that I cannot look towards the dark abyss because of how fuck-huge and steep the drop-off is.
Sends fucking chills down my spine.
Pic related, but replace that crappy slope in the picture with a 90 degree angle slope and you pretty much can picture what I have to deal everytime I play the game.
>>342259874
>>342275663
I think they're adding in the option to have a female character but you're some kind of a non-descript light-brown future ethnicity.
>>342275836
I think that's a bug, I usually get minimal drift and can just push it back the little it moves tho desu you should move to floating storage and a base as soon as you can.
I hate this game because I hate the sea. I want to play it so bad, but when I was a kid I was swimming with my folks not far off the coast of key west and a fucking tiger shark swam around me for like three whole minutes. Fuck me it looks cozy as shit though.
>>342275792
you need the diving reel
>>342276279
>tho desu you should move to floating storage and a base as soon as you can.
Seconding this for all the new players. Can't stress it enough, that lifepod should NEVER be more than a temporary base of operations.
Get some titanium and make a base pronto.
>>342276248
Saw that when I was 10. Had recurring nightmares of being in that sub as it slowly succumbed to the pressure for weeks
>>342275890
just imagine being in an exo suit and having the cable snap, leaving to plummet to the sea floor in a half ton man shaped casket with no oxygen and water flooding in
>>342276227
That sounds like fun
>Tfw the ultra rich probably have their own secret undersea community you will never set foot in or even know about
>>342276190
you don't know about freediving? these people don't need to breath
>>342276627
If so, it already ended up like Rapture
>>342276732
Naw, they would have serfs who live down there to take care of it
>>342276471
I had the same thing with the Core film, that part when the dude gets crushed in one of the compartments, really fucking sucked
>>342276486
those exo suits have their own propulsion system. they are just like human shaped submarines
>>342276909
just die already , surface dwellers
>>342276227
you could build a submarine shaped like a plane but that would probably make it slower also that shit would be too heavy to fly because making it sustain the pressure of the depths needs some heavy material.
In no way I´m an expert on this, it just seems like common sense.
Would be pretty sweet though.
Whats your hull number?
If its not within the first 200 you blew it.
>>342276227
Yeah it does but seeing that underwater really triggers my autism

>>342277531
They need the team that did Battlestar Galactica to reboot that show.
Is there respawning fish yet?
I was sad when I fished everything around my base to death.
>>342277667
Anon, I want you to know that you are my nigga. Jonny Quest vidya fucking when?
>>342276427
I was so disappointed when I first made that shit and expected it to actually pull me back.
>>342276627
They have underwater resorts and stuff.
I can't imagine a community working fo rich people though, people with money use it to create space around them and I can't imagine them getting along in a cramped shared commune.
>>342277775
yes
>>342277715
Were you even near the Aurora? If one of those struggle-snuggled me on the other side of the map I would just permanently ragequit
>>342277775
Yeah.
>>342277807
>They have underwater resorts and stuff.
What you've seen are renders of resorts that are planned but never built. The only actual, existing underwater "hotel" is the Jules. www.jul.com
Hydropolis, Poseidon and many others never got built, people just assume they did. There are a couple small, shallow (15ft) one room spas, restaurants and stuff like that though
>>342277832
>>342277887
since when? the only fish I can spawn are the ones I farm in the habitat tanks
Here's one of the little restaurants. It's so shallow you could stand on the roof and your head would be out of the water.

The Reaper Leviathan has three main areas it can be found in: the Crash Site, the Dunes, and the Mountains. If you want to explore and build a base on the Mountain Island you'll have to contend with one Reaper that patrols the deep-water perimeter.
>>342278056
I'm not terribly surprised, the novelty can only last so long before you're just paying an exorbitant price for a tiny space. If you want to be surrounded with sealife then those wall-aquariums would probably be more bang for your buck.

Subnautica is similar for me. I think it's a beautiful, fun game but the fear of being snuck up on and turning around to see a mouthful of teeth is too much for me. I'm fine with other horror.

they need to make the large enemies harder to kill
>>342277770
It's funny that you say that because one of the creators of that BSG reboot, Ronald Moore, wrote a few episodes of SeaQuest back in the day. And the guy who created SeaQuest went on to do my favorite show of all time, Farscape.
The only nation actually building a proper sea lab is China:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-07/china-pushes-plan-for-oceanic-space-station-in-south-china-sea
9,800 feet deep, houses 12 initially, expanded later to support 33 people, nuclear powered, all for the alleged purpose of deep sea mining but located conveniently in the contested south China sea near Chinese naval infrastructure
>>342278538
You must have had a lot of time to waste since you go through five or six Diamond knives killing a Reaper.
>>342278056
>3 hours $150 per person, 2 person minimum
>$300 for 3 hours
what the fuck. You could just put a glass bowl over your head and strap some weights arround your ankles and sit on the sea bed for a few minutes and probably have a better experience
>>342259874
Is there still pop in for textures ten feet away?
>>342278650
>nuclear powered
>Chinese manufactured
RIP Earth's oceans
>>342278809
yeah I have too much time in my hands
>>342279184
Not as much, but it's still not optimized yet. That's one of the last things they'll be doing before launch.
>>342279001
That's cheap. Other proposed resorts were going to charge $15,000 for 2 nights. Jules is expensive but within reach for a middle class family.
This game looks cool but is there actually anything to do in it?
I don't want to fall into this trap again of "sandbox" games like Space Engineers or Hunter Primal where there are no goals and you run out of shit to do in like an hour.
>>342279651
Explore, find new species, scan them to add them to your database and build new sea bases.
Steam summer sale when? How low in price will this go?
>>342279771
So, nothing.
No story, no goals, no challenges?
>yfw the dev of this game is a gun grabbing libcuck
>>342279884
There is story being added in now, actually. It's just far from complete. You can find rusted broken down old sea habitats from survivors before you and read their logs.
>>342279771
>>342279884
There will be a story mode, you'll discover why your ship crashed, why only you survived, and that there were previous maroonees on the planet and something's happened to them. You'll also have to get help from the largest creature in the game to put a stop to something dangerous happening deep beneath the sea.
>>342279650
>That's cheap.
maybe for that kind of resort.
But what it definitely isn´t is reasonable.
The cost of construction and upkeep of such a place can´t possibly warrant that price of admission
>What the future could have been like if robots didn't improve so quickly
>>342279986
>game is fun
>doesn't reflect the dev's personal political beliefs
If both of these apply, then only an autistic fuckwit would give a shit.
>>342280165
You didn't fully read the rates. It's $600 for a full day and night. You can split that up to 6 ways. So if you and 5 friends go, it's $100 for each of you.
The high cost for a short visit is to discourage lookey lous.
>>342279986
Couldn't care less about his politics, long as the game is good.
>post yfw Subnautica made it so the faggot mods can no longer delete deep sea threads
>>342280072
>>342280095
I just hope there's going to be enough stuff to do, I've been burned on these games far too many times.
The only one I go back to is Kerbal just because the flight model is inherently entertaining.
>>342279497
>it's still not optimized yet.
Yeah. I´ve watched some of vinny´s latest streams after he got his 1080 and he´s still hardly keeping 60fps
if you want to do undersea exploitation, china is the place to be. they're going to be scouring the south china sea for resources soon
the water's fine
>>342280436
>working with the chinese
The way the operate and their equipment is so unsafe you're better off going cave diving with zero training.
>>342280361
Why the fuck are there so few games in this genre in the first place? There's like 9,342,841 space games and 12 underwater games. Scifi ones I mean.
>>342279884
Not at the moment - The only goal you should have is to collect all the "fragments" to let you build everything. Different fragments are in different biomes, which makes exploring necessary.
In my game I just completed the large submarine. My next goal is a super deep self-sufficient undersea base. After that, I'll shelve the game until more content comes out.
>>342280447
>>342280303
>then only an autistic fuckwit would give a shit
>wheredoyouthinkyouare.jpg
>>342280380
There's a lot of things to collect, build, and upgrade, and many places to explore. You'll also be able to screw around with the DNA of many of the creatures and inject DNA into either other creatures to change their behavoir or into yourself to get permanent(?) buffs like withstanding pressure, more efficient oxygen consumption, faster swimming, etc. It's also set up so that you'll need to find and build better equipment to go deeper and deeper or into more hazardous areas, so you can't just swim down to 2000 meters right at the start.
>>342280321
well, I guess that´s better then.
Not like I´ll see this place anyway (German) but their website doesn´t really make it hard to assume that it´s a rip off.
>>342280638
Cool. My goal has been to construct a map-spanning grid network of tiny, single module sea bases the sole purpose of which are to store and charge power cells for the Cyclops. Like gas stations that let me go anywhere without worrying about "fuel".
>>342280884
If you're in Germany, this is what you should go visit instead:
https://www.tropical-islands.de/en/tropical-world/
It's a manmade tropical island under a giant dome with heated air inside and a wave pool that simulates the coast
>>342259874
>>342280914
That sounds really cool, actually. Though it might not be feasible for areas that are deep unless they're close to a thermal spot.
>>342274979
>living under metric tonnes of water that could crush you and everything you hold dear at any given moment
Why the fuck would you ever do that?
