What is this game.
>>342558564
I mean it, sell this game to me. I'm interested in the deep sea so if it looks good I might buy it.
>>342558564
Deep sea adventure on alien planet that's nothing but ocean. VR compatible for extra soiled pants.
>>342558564
Sci fi survival game with deep sea diving and base building
The fish will scare the fuck out of you
>>342558798
Give me two seconds to get off the shitter and I'll pitch the game to you and post some of my screenshots at the same time.
>>342558564
Ark underwater.
Better looking Minecraft underwater.
3D better looking Terrerria underwater.
It's a bunch of fucking nothing to do.
>>342558564
Survival game: underwater edition
>>342557771
>early access
its just one of those steam early access sandbox survival trashheap games that will never ever get finished and YOU, the player, gets to decide the direction of the game! because the devs are creatively bankrupt.

>>342559013
Sounds p. fucking rad to be honest. Now here's the kick in the pants, I'm a consolefag. Is there a ps4 version?
The game could be great, however, it's so boring right now cause there's nothing to do once you get a base established.
Bought it earlier, absolutely gorgeous.I had no fucking clue what I was doing, they kind of just crash land you and make you figure it out. Like, half of the things in my emergency pod are broken, so I needed a blowtorch to fix them. But I had no idea where to get the items to make the torch.
Then the mothership exploded and I died
>mfw I was halfway between the mothership and the pod, and i heard the slow, ominous countdown
>>342559120
I'm not. Should I do it?
>>342557771
>Cant actually kill anything which precludes the possibility of things like cooking every being fleshed out beyond a certain point
>Also no fun weaonps crafting
I do not, do not, do not understand why they preemptively killed the possibilities of so many otherwise compelling facets of gameplay to maintain this faux pacifism thing they have going
I bought the game and I'm still angry
>>342559401
>Onechanbara
oh.
>>342559401
I really did not care for salt and sanctuary. Everything else seems okay to me
Subnautica is just another survival game, but seem like the most unique outta the bunch, but still: it's just a survival game
>>342558798
>Subnautica
Have you tried Depth?
So, can I kill the giant sea monsters, or just them killing me?
>>342559247
Do you want a hand figuring it out?Limestone outcrops will give you one of the following: copper, lead, or titanium. Sandstone gives you silver, or gold. Typically the former. quartz is collected raw and can be seen as pale crystalline formations. Likewise acid mushrooms. Crash powder is acquired from the crash plant. a fish that live in and explodes to defend the crash plant is called the crash, watch out for it as they make a very distinct sound as you approach. They hurt a lot but won't kill you in one hit typically unless you aren't at full health. Creepvines are in kelp forest. Tall kelp looking things. You can sometimes see glowing orange pods from them, which can be collected without a knife. A knife is needed to collect creep vine samples from them. A knife will also be necessary to collect table coral or common coral samples.
That should be enough information to start you off.
Get going.
>>342559102
They consistently have updates but hey, its your choice
>>342559686
You can kill them, but its completely pointless and a waste of resources.
>>342559491
Played it? I've been looking to get it for a while.
>>342559539
What didn't you like about Salt and Sanctuary? Looks like fun, I'm big into Souls and Metroidvania so I thought I'd give it a go.
I'm cool with survival games, I was a sucker for Minecraft back in the day and I enjoy Rust and Terraria too. I'm guess it's more of the same, but with a new setting.
Been waiting for a subnautica thread to post my comfy and spoopy screens. Starting with my first home/launching base.
>>342559816
Oh I nearly forgot:Magnesium is refined at the fabricator from salt. Salt is found in deposits and is white in color along the seabed here and there.
That should help with just about anything and everything you need in the beginning of the game.
>>342559941
Inside office area. Ladder down leads to bio reactor, top leads to bed and fish tank with window.
Beware the nightmares lurking in the deep.
>>342559940
>What didn't you like about Salt and Sanctuary?
I really just couldn't get used to how the floaty the game felt.
It goes for a souls vibe, but nothing feels really deliberate. There's some depth to the dodging/jumping but I really hate how it feels. Also, I don't think the art for the characters is very good
>>342559940
I haven't played it, but I've seen some, erm, screenshots (anime tiddies). Heard it's a good action game though.
>>342560046
>bioreactor
Or you can just run your base on cow farts.
Go thermal.
This getting a PS4 release?
Is this a good game for someone who likes upgrading mechanics in their games?
playing through the game at the moment. In a pretty stable position since I have plenty of power and fresh water and I just planted some lantern fruit.
How do I increase my suits ability to withstand pressure? I don't feel comfortable at 300+M when the gauge turns red at 200+M
>>342560046
>>342560074
It's not all terror. These guys are quite nice, and eventually you get use to not being able to see the bottom when you get out deep.
>>342560270
No source of thermal energy in that location. It's run on solar but there's a bioreactor in the bottom for night.
Posting base
this is the bedroom, where all the magic (read: terrified masturbation) happens
>>342559816
>>342559987
Thank, screenshotted for later. Going to bed soon, but I'll be playing this andShovel Nightall weekend. Gonna be primo comfino
>Tfw 4$ short of buying subnautica
;_;
>>342560360
Be more specific.
>>342560074
fun fact: each of the tiny squares is ten meters and each of the big bold ones is one hundred in that screenshot, assuming this is directly from the unity editor.
>>342560368
As of right now, your suit doesn't do anything for you, but you can make a rebreather to make it so that your oxygen doesn't drain faster at greater depths. Eventually they'll add gene modding to the game and you'll have to poke the right critter with your transfuser to research the gene mod.
>>342560374
>No source of thermal energy in that location.
Power transmitters. You need maybe 2 or 3 gold at most to reach out to your nearest thermal vent from where you are.
>looking for silver
>hear a roar
>turn around
He destroyed my fucking seamoth
>>342560575
Punch him in the sea-dick.
>>342560421
I just like upgrading shit is all.
I don't know.
>>342560368
Where'd you get that compass
>>342560381
>trash can
I have 100 hours in this game and have never seen this.
How much is in it?
Is it just a proof of conecpt at the moment or is it pretty much a finished game?
>>342560621
i think he was too busy shitting his sea-pants
>>342560748
Added pretty recently. You can scan them in wrecks, same with the bed.
>>342560669
Magnetite + computer chip.
>>342560652
There's really good progression in the game now. If you mean specifically upgrading items and not just upgrading from worse to better gear, that's also sort of in the game but not a huge focus. The seamoth has various upgrades, you can upgrade some of your gears.
>>342560812
I was able to find the bed.
Not the trash can though.
Looks like I found something to do tonight.
>>342560450
Sounds about right. The Reaper Leviathan and the Cyclops are 55 meters long. Really puts it into perspective when you then see how much bigger the Sea Dragon is than the Reaper. I can't wait to see how huge the Sea Emperor will look.
>>342557771
>please buy this game, it's 40% off during the summer sale[/spoiler]
Not until they fix the fucking pop in
Shit ten fucking feet away will disappear and reappear it's absurd
>>342560752
In the middle, maybe leaning towards proof of concept at the moment
Pretty much all the mechanics are there, now the devs just need to add more shit for you to do/monsters to discover/deeper locations
>>342560889
how do I use the plasma cutter? Do I need to use it when I explore a wreck? Can't seem to find any way to interact with a wreck.
>>342560985
I can't wait to have the sea dragon crush my expensive, hard earned huge fucking submarine.
>>342560752
Launch is scheduled for August. They'll keep adding onto it after launch. The main story is going to be added before launch, which is looking pretty weird and creepy.
>>342561062
the laser cutter is used at VERY specific places. It only cuts specific sealed doors and they will tell you they need to be opened with the laser cutter.
>>342561062
There's like really specific doors that will say it. Not sure about other parts I haven't built it yet because it needs a diamond.
>>342561030
Once they drop terraforming it will be fixed
>>342561030
They need your shekels to fix the game, Anon
But yes, it's a problem that doesn't go away on any of the THREE graphics setting. It's retarded that there are only 3 options for how you want the game to look
>>342561030
The game's not optimized yet. They'll do that before it launches.
>>342561070
At the moment nothing can harm the Cyclops except for depth pressure. Don't know if they'll make it so the Sea Dragon can damage it, but its designated spawn points are too deep for the Cyclops to reach anyway, you'll ned the Exosuit for the Inactive Lava Zone and the Active Lava Zone.
Though it can also spawn in the wide-open areas and in the Void off the map, but only rarely.
>>342561525
My impression was that the sea dragon was suppose to be spoopy but not necessarily hostile. It's story important apparently.
>>342561525
I hope this cute little fella will only spawn in the deepest, darkest places
>mfw this was my favorite scene from the Phantom Menace and now I get to play it
Anyone here tried it with VR? do you shit yourself or is it not that immersive? I've played those VR test demo games that really make you feel like you're in the environment but that was the one with the room-scale thing that makes you walk around, this is just sitting down VR so idk if you'd still feel like you're there
>>342561030
>>342561291
A lot of the pop-in is because at the moment the terraforming ability is still in, which means the ground is made up of lots and lots of little bits and pieces which kills framerates and causes lots of pop-in. They're removing it soon and that will fix a lot of those problems.
The only bad thing is it means this cool creature is being delayed until after the game launches, it was originally going to walk around destroying terrain. Maybe they'll have it attack your base on occasion.
>swimming alone in open water with more than 100m of emptiness beneath you
So uncomfortable
>>342561764
You're thnking of the Sea Emperor Leviathan. The Sea Dragon Leviathan is 100% hostile and will swallow you whole if it catches you.

You fucking retard why the fuck would you even ask its on A STEAM SALE
HOly fuck you kids are disturbingly inept
I mean you couldve just spent less time googling than making that post and not got made fun of in the process
AND had an immediate response
Get a fucking brain
And don't think that the animals are the only thins that will hurt you. There's already the Tiger Plant which shoots spines at you, two types of Mushrooms that release acid if you get close, Drooping Stingers that do damage over time if you touch them, and they're working on this thing right now.
>>342561525
That thing looks so cartoony what the fuck. It's got a big smile and humanoid arms. Deep sea shit is supposed to look alien and spooky.
>>342563379
There are spoopy things, too.
I just started this yesterday. Going slow but sure.
>>342557771
When is it being officially released?
>>342563669
Best biome I've seen so far
I got back from a short expedition to be greeted by this. I was befuddled until I figured out the problem.
>>342563797
>try to take interesting photos
>it's always seaweed
These are cute when I keep my distance.
I'd love to get this game but I don't think my computer would be able to run it very well. Does it run ok at min specs or is it janky as fuck?
I really hope that they work on this beast again and implement it. Giant lurking things that burst out of hiding to attack are some of the scariest shit.
Does the nuclear reactor still eventually run out of nuclear fuel or is it infinite now?
Odds of it going lower? Do they even do that anymore?
>>342557771
Downloaded the latest update and been having fun.
First is pretty self-sufficient and now I'm starting to explore further to gather more fragments and begin to set up additional bases.
Also, you can always just pirate to see if it's for you and worth your money.
>swimming through the Dunes
>get spotted by a Reaper Leviathan
>chases you over a depression in the sand
>this monster erupts from the sand and seizes the Reaper, dragging it into the seafloor
What the fuck do I do about these fucking exploding little shits?

vid?
>>342564975
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFtfPOCQwiY
It hasn't been worked on for over a year, so it's doubtful it'll ever be put in, but it can kill a Reaper Leviathan with enough hits. Has no animations other than rising up and going back down.
>>342564903
Avoid them. They become easier to deal with once you get the Seaglide.
>>342564903
Try to out maneuver them.
You might be able to take a hit from one if you're at full health. There's a medkit fabricator in your life pod. Your health very slowly regenerates if your have food and water above 60% or 70%
I cant wait for this game.
>>342559457
What? You can kill anything, it's just usually faster to avoid them or send them away with the fuck-off gun.
They had plans to implement more uses for some of the plants like seasoning and expand cooking though I don't know if that's still in the works.
The pacifism bs has never been very adamant,
they're just not doing obvious boring stuff like shotguns and grenades.
You can kill anything with the knife given enough time, faster with the heat-knife and it'll cook the fish for you, you can use the propulsion gun to hurl fish against walls, the seamoth shock kills everything around you, and they're just adding gas torpedos and exosuit mining arms that are basically meat grinders when used on fish.
>>342564903
Stasis Rifle and Propulsion Cannon work wonders on the Crashes. You can even use the little fuckers as weapons against Stalkers and other predators.
This game is fucking spooky, im only in the shallow areas and i hear creepy clicking noises if i go anywhere and I'm too afraid to go out any further. When do i get a sub? i don't like being a squishy, slow, and defenseless little man
>>342557771
>please
Well you do ask nicer than howard and your game looks kinda neat so I'll consider it
>>342560074
I really like the top one. All the pics of him look friendly. I'm glad hes not an enemy.fuck the reaper leviathans though, that shit is nightmares
>>342565348
>the city of fish
As good as this game looks, never again will I purchase an early access game.
>>342559227
There will be an xbone version soon.
>>342562379
Why? It's not like you can fall.
I would be more willing to buy it if the devs weren't so adamant about not giving the players options to protect themselves. I could get it if their argument was it was to keep tension high/keep the player from getting to powerful, though it would still be a bad argument since their are other ways to do that while still giving the players options. Their argument is because of Sandy Hook or something video games shouldn't have weapons anymore.
>>342557771
>please buy this game, it's 40% off during the summer sale
Why
Creature design is ass and I can't play a qt with bikini
Will this being co-op?
That is the real big cincher for me. It looks like a good game but it is only really fun if you can explore the depths of hell's plumbing with friends.
>>342565539
Is it the graphics. It is, isn't it.
>>342565701
They don't give you weapons because that might trivialize the game.
You should always fear the deep sea.
>>342565701
Do you want a resident evil? Because that's how you get one.
>>342565743
If they ever add multiplayer it will be post-release and possibly a separate thing like Don't Starve Together.
>>342565701
You do have ways to protect yourself, namely the Seamoth's torpedoes/area effect shock, the stasis rifle, the propulsion cannon, etc.
Do wish there were more effective ways of warding off Reapers though.
>>342565754
I'm not picky when it comes to grafics.
>>342565701
You have plenty to protect yourself with, you don't need guns and grenages and cannons and be able to go around shooting everything, that's not the point of the game. And who fucking cares what he says, if he wants to be a liberal tit then let him, the game's awesome and that's all that matters.
>>342565898
>>342565743
They're thinking about it, but it won't happen until some time after the game launches. Right now they're concentrating on the important things.
>>342561987
it is super immersive, plus the scale of the creatures is impressive, they are way larger than they appear on a regular screen.
>>342565805
>>342565872
You can still give the player options to defend themselves while maintaining tension. Make them difficult to craft, make it that the resources for ammo are super rare. And as I said, if their reasoning was to just keep the player weak I would be fine with it, but their stated reason is bullshit.
>>342560270
Thermal is great if available but a bioreactor and a tank of fish can provide power anywhere.
>>342560374
They're also the best bioreactor fuel.
>>342560669
>>342560834
The recipe is hidden until you have magnetite, some things are like that.
>>342560889
Progression is actually a lot messier than it will eventually be.
They're still in the process of moving the fragments to pretty much just in wrecks and getting rid of the placeholder box for actual damaged versions of the items and machines.
Why does everything look so bright? Really ruins the deep sea immersion
What will the story be like in this game I wonder
>>342566371
At the moment, what we know isthe Precursors, who are the ones who left the Abandoned Bases and PDAs you find in several locations, turned themselves into the Warper creatures you'll find eventually (two of them did, anyway). They imprisoned the Emperor Leviathan for some reason. Their son, who didn't mutate, built a weapon to fight the Warpers with but he accidentally shot down the Aurora with it
>>342566036
>Have Vive
>Try to use the ReVIVE injector to run Subnautica
>It just crashes on boot
Well, fuck. Do I have to have the oculus home thing installed?
>>342565371
The clicking is just those cute little tripod bug crab things, what should really make your blood run cold is the gurgle of a crash.
>>342565309
So how do I replace the medkit fabricator? I just started a few hours ago but the medkit box in my escape pod is gone. There's just a gaping hole in the texture/mesh where you can look outside at the ocean, and you can open/close the invisible fabricator but not retrieve any medkits from it.
I sent a bug report but it's probably something I fucked up.
>>342565754
They've actually made a lot of progress recently, now what annoys me more is the contrast between some of the newer better textures and the stuff they haven't gotten to.
I have 4.31cad what game should I get
I can't wait to see the Lost River biome when it's finished. Hopefully they'll have some spooky bone-like plants that are whitish and grayish and such to match the graveyard aesthetic of the creatures and the skeleton.
seemed interesting and I just got paid. just bought it and accidentally charged it to an empty debit account so lets see if I can get 40 bucks of fun out of this.
I got the game from the sale, I'm not really familiar with this relatively new survival genre so it's got more of a learning curve than I expected.
I am enjoying the game though. Almost makes me want to buy into the VR gimmick
>>342565701
See >>342565348
The "no weapons" is mostly bs and they've almost entirely abandoned the pretense with the gas torpedos.
I personally wouldn't want machineguns and plasma-blasters, the alternative solutions to threats is what makes it interesting especially as they add in more behaviors for the alien creatures.
So I notice you can't take the seamoth super deep anymore. Multiple pressure upgrades doesn't do anything.
>>342566010
>And who fucking cares what he says, if he wants to be a liberal tit then let him, the game's awesome and that's all that matters.
Some people get all bootybothered and offended by people having different views and will dislike what they also like just to spite them and make a statement.
>>342566908
You can build one in your base. the blueprint is a default one you start with.
>>342566338
It's dark as shit when you get deep.
>>342567727
it's super dark once you start getting into caves too
the flare effect looks really cool too
>>342567510
They made it so only one pressure compensator works at a time. The Mark III compensator lets the Seamoth go to 900 meters.
>>342567858
its dark at fucking night even in the shallows
that anon who said the game is bright is delusional
>>342567137
You should check out the trello page, they have some textures of that stuff up, looks cool.
>>342567510
You'll need the exosuit to go to the deepest depths.
>>342567858
The shroom cave was horrifyingly dark before they brightened it up more with bioluminescence.
Also there are occasionally eclipses that make it pretty dark.
>>342568179
looking at the steam store screenshots the game does look quite bright so if anon is judging it based on that it makes sense
>>342568179
>swiming back to base at night over the kelp forest
Last time I was looking through one of these threads, some anon told me to hold off on buying it until release because the world stays the same each time you play
So if I start playing now, and upon official release there's early game content that I missed, if I want to experience it I have to start a new game and go through the same stuff again
Is that a valid concern, or should I just buy it
Cuz I really want some deep sea exploration
>>342568636
>that feel when you're swimming at the beach and foot touches seaweed
Game ran like shit for me.
>>342568746
it's not that deep but it is cool
>>342568746
You could get it while it's on sale, then wait to play until the official launch so you have everything up to date.
so does this game have performance issues right now? My computer can usually run things pretty decently but even on minimum I was getting some janky performance.
>>342557771
>no online
What a catastrophic design choice
>>342568780
It's like that combined with the knowledge there are alligator seahorses and super-leeches from the black lagoon lurking below and they stay further at night and you can't move fast enough.
>>342565539
I don't blame you, but consider putting it on your wishlist, the game has a surprising amount of content under the circumstances and it's pretty fun besides.
Has there been any talk on having rogue waves in the game? A planet almost entirely water could probably have some large events like that.
>>342566338
this is the starting area during the night, this is just the safe shallows
>>342569152
People have been suggesting stuff like that, as well as weather effects. Though it would only really bother anything in shallower waters.
>>342568746
The world stays the same but your path through the game can vary greatly and they've barely implemented a story yet.
>>342567623
Not about disliking what they like, it's that these views are translated into the game
being underwater in any game usually suck balls.
is it better here?
>>342569073
Stray further at night, not stay, fucking autocorrect.
>>342567865
Where can you find the fragments for that?
>>342568251
Thought the exosuit wasn't in the game yet?
>>342557771
All these fucking survival games. WTF man. Shit is probably played by fucking NEETS
Does anyone play hardcore and get nervous every time there's an eclipse?
>>342569530
if I could make one immediate change to the game it would be to have a painted skybox instead a moon that's clearly like a 30 foot tall object
>>342569330
Not really, this isn't supposed to be a game where you go around shooting everything anyway.
>>342569386
When you have the Moonpool, you can build a Seamoth Modification Station that let's you customize the name and colors as well as craft pressure modules and torpedoes.
>>342569330
Except as multiple people the original anon ignored pointed out, you totally can kill anything in the game and there are all sorts of weapons like the seamoth shock and the new the gas torpedos.
Do we really need halo: seaworld edition?
No thanks, personally.
>>342569386
You can spawn it in the experimental version and it's almost done.
>>342569530
Great contribution.
>>342565549
Already out.
Plays like garbage with a solid 15-30 fps
bought it long ago and waiting for more updates to play it again.
>>342569740
>Do we really need halo: seaworld edition?
Yes of course
It shouldn't be this game though
>>342569650
>>342569873
Touch a nerve much Neet? Get a job.
>>342569950
I'm not sure I'd trust them with water controls.
What I'm really hoping for is them delivering on the behaviors stuff they keep mentioning in their development trello, I love shit like befriending stalkers with fish.
>>342570082
What's a neet, and what does it have to do with video games?
>>342570372
Waiting for someone to post this
>>342570372
>>342567137
Isn't the lost river a huge series of tunnels deep below all the other biomes?
>>342570082
I'm sure you only play mature sophisticated games for mature sophisticated gamers such as yourself, you'd just rather whine about people liking things you don't like than talk about them.
Meh, Fuck everyone saying "muh early access"
I think the game looks great and it's made by a legitimately reliable company, so what the hell?Of course, /v/ is allergic to actually good new games, so I don't expect anything but scorn.
>>342563379
Better than The Crimson Chin
I hope they add some actual giant eldritch terrors later on.
>>342569740
>Do we really need halo: seaworld edition?
do fish respawn yet?
>>342570372
>cant tell if that's bubbles on your goggles, or thousands of leeches
>>342570567
Yeah, it's going to be the second-largest cave biome with several entrances attacked to ther biomes. The main cavern is the one with the titanic skeleton.

I watched it being streamed and I want it so much
How the fuck do you find more traces of the other survivors? I found their first underwater base by following a signal. I also happened upon the island where they started out. I found a bunch of old PDAs but they just say that they wanted to go "a kilometer east". Okay well the ocean is pretty fucking big. I could go due east but I'd never find them if I had to go a whole kilometer
about how long does it take to get started on base building?
>>342570842
It's the terrain you dumb nigger.
>>342570372
What am I looking at here?
>>342570728
Unless they've been keeping some stuff really hush-hush then the sea emperor/dragon will be the biggest ones.
>>342570989
No it's star wars you vapid cunt
>>342570793
Yes, I think that was in an update a month or so ago. Though I think there's still(?) a bug that can cause most/all of the fish in an area to simply disappear due to an issue with cell loading or something.
>>342570992
try turning up your brightness
>>342570952
Maybe an hour or two
>>342570949
a kilometer is only like half a mile
>>342557771
Okay, I'll buy this game.
>>342570729
>Halo: Seaworld Edition?
Is that what it looks like to you?
>>342571645
Yeah, don't you remember how Master Chief crashed in the ocean and had to collect pieces of his ship while defeating the ocean-dwelling Covenant aliens?
>>342571735
desu, that's a game I'd like to play!
Is the game updated often meaningfully?
>>342571828
Yup. In fact they add so many, I'm afraid to play it until it's released, just because I don't want to have to restart my game constantly.
>>342571923
Thanks, mr. dev. I'll buy the game.
>>342571992
Well, the last major one was on June 1st, and the one before that was May 6th so draw your own conclusions.
I'm no dev, but I'm not a cynical faggot, either.
>>342570931
Do you seriously want to, tho?
>>342571923
Saves aren't broken too frequently and it's not terribly linear in general.
Anyway, you can just use commands if you really want to.
>>342572204
The recent updates seem good enough desu, what worries me the most is that they'll die out and stop updating or have crappy updates. I'll check it out anyways since it seems to have decent amount of content.
>>342571645I actually wouldn't mind adding some more guns and ayylmao enemies to the game
>>342557771
>this game will never have deep underwater currents
>dive reel will forever be useless
>>342572403
i don't really like the idea of overt aliens
I like how stuff looks vaguely alien for the most part
I think it'd actually be way more interesting if they added like a tuna and never explained it
I decided to explore the big ship just for the hell of it. Being under it scared more than anything thus far. Didn't help that I saw what was beneath my feet.
>>342572403
Having something to defend yourself beyond a knife would be cool with me. Maybe add a harpoon gun.
>>342572605
I know right? It's like they aren't quite alien enough to feel obviously fake, but aren't normal enough to be...well, normal.
So is it like a different map every playthrough?
>>342573180
I don't think it's randomly generated. I think it's one set map.
>>342571085
...Goddammit, this is stupid
>>342573180
No, they experimented with procedural generation and didn't like what it produced, so it's all hand-placed now.
>>342570871
I found this place last night. I explored a little but got spooked because it's fucking dark down there. Got scared that I was lost for a minute but I ended up finding another exit. I want to go back down and light it up and put some beacons around for navigation
/v/ and the depths of Subnautica be like
I'm never buying another fucking early access, even if it does look cool as fuck. I got burned with fucking Rust. I'll wait for this to release.
>>342574123
When's the last time you played Rust? You might want to take a look at the progress they've made.
Scared.
No speargun, no buy.
I'm not asking for fucking gunpowder here, just compressed air. One of the very first things you do in the game is to grab and drag an innocent fish back to your pod and then roast it alive with lasers. What political message exactly would be lost if you could just launch stabby bits at dangerous fish from afar?
>>342559239
Explore, you little cunt. I bet you haven't found the giant sea monster bones yet, or half the buildable shit.

>>342565701
I don't mind the no weapons thing but the reason they gave was such fucking horseshit. I know that shouldn't affect me wanting to buy it but holy shit I do not want to give that libtard any money.
>inb4 just pirate it
Just because I don't agree with the persons views does not entitle me to have his game for free, if I do not want to pay for it thats fine, I just don't get to have it.
>>342574551
Hah! I wish.

>that echo
Grade A sound design.
The sea dragon is a bit goofy but under the right conditions it will be horrifying. It's planned to spawn in the lava biomes and also on the edge of the map in the darkness of the void.
>>342557771
>no vive support
i'm good.
How bad do you get fucked over if a monster destroys your x (suit/transportation/base)
>>342574635
If I cant shoot them, at least let me punch them in the fucking face
>>342574720
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>342574817
You die, lose some of your stuff, and then respawn at your life pod.
>>342574817
Seamoths are a bit of a pain to replace, the cyclops can sink if it gains enough damage but I'm not sure if you lose it for good.
>>342557771
>game involves giant underwater creatures
Nope nope nope.
Not buying that nightmare machine.
>>342574956
By pain, do you mean "like 20 minutes of work" or "better off restarting because it'll take days"
>>342570728
>yfw they are planning eldritch, incomprehensible terrors that contrast horrifyingly with subnautica's usual fare of cartoonish designs for the nightmarish, reality-warping and normalcy-defying biomes they'll start adding in the 5000m+ range
>>342574720
mate, it's downright comedic
>>342574908
Not only that, but that's just its test size. Its real size is going to be MUCH larger.I swear it WANTS to be a horror game.
refunded after 30 minutes.
what a fucking waste.
>>342574956
Yea pretty much. Inly way I can think of to rescue it is to get a shit load of floaters and stick it to the sunken Cyclops, then repair it when its above crush depth
>>342575059
What a waste indeed, 30 minutes isn't long enough to do jack shit.
>>342575013
20 minutes, but losing one can be pretty difficult unless a reaper gets the jump on you when it's already damaged.
There is a hardcore option that makes it so you only have one life, respawning is just an annoyance since you keep important things like blueprint progress.
>>342575030
It looks creepy from below with the glowing holes on it's body.
>scared as shit of deep sea stuff
>about to buy this game
>>342574551
Kek
>>342574551
Doesn't the exosuit drill completely fucking destroy sea dragons currently? I'm fine with everything being killable if you try hard enough, but I want those things to be HP sponges.
>>342572287
YES GOD YES
I WANT TO BE SCARED SHITLESS
I get uncomfortable swimming in the 100-200ft deep lake here where I live, when I know nothing in the water can harm humans (other than snapping turtles, but just don't mess with them), and get freaked out watching manta rays at the aquarium, convince me why I should buy this virtual nightmare.
Just doing my first run through I already have the scanner, what should I aim for next? The sea glider? I think I got all the basics check, have the full suit and everything.
>>342564406
Looks like it's wearing a gasmask
>>342575281
Just remember it's a game and you're safe IRL.
I'm scared of deep water too. The only times I got legit, uncontrollably afraid was around leviathan, and for some reason on the map edges where it just drops off into nothingness.
Went about 700m down off the edge once, expecting just a blank, generic sea wall next to me as I descended. I found a dark, large entrance to a GIGANTIC square room that hadn't loaded in or something and I swear to God it was the most terrifying thing being 700m down in a giant, pitch black cube room.
>>342575497
Only because the devs dont have it see the player in the suit yet. Once youre in it, youre invisible to it
Mouse+keyboard or controller
>>342574551
Hope the devs are watching
>>342559940
I have it for ps4. Saaya best girl and gameplay style, fuck me that chainsaw is satisfying. Feels like they poured 70% of their budget into making the combat feel good, 25% into the fanservice, and the last 5% into everything else. It's fun, but nothing groundbreaking.
Subnautica.
