Subnautica threadIs there a way to have a bigger single storage, I just got my building creator
Floor lockers hold more than wall lockers. Other than that I don't think so
>>342611420
I guess I haven't unlocked those, I just have the ones that can be placed in the water. It's hell to go back and forth between outside and inside.
>>342611539
Well if you got the building tool it should be a default recipie. It's like two titanium and a glass or something. You don't make them with the fabricator
Oh also be sure to set up a fish farm asap so you can eat because the shallows die out really quick still. Use a heated knife from a mod bench when getting food fish for extra fun. A big enough fish farm can also be great for bioreactors
quit playing because there's nothing to do really. waiting for later version
also, jesus fucking christ i am tired of thirst/hunger in games. thirst and hunger has never added anything, once, to any game, least of all fun
At some point I got a signal and I'm getting this icon for a "Heat Signature". Is this what i should be aiming for now?
>>342612119
>tell me how to play the game, /v/, I can't do anything by myself!
why don't you go and see
why would you ask when the entire point of the game is exploration and discovery
>>342612095
There is literally a mode for no thirst/hunger
>>342612119
It likely won't help you untill you get thermal power plans. And those need magnetite and that's a whole other shit show.
What you should be doing is looking for part fragments of the sea moth and then the cyclops as well as other building modules so you can go deeper for longer and find other shit.
Just be careful not to burn yourself out. There's not really any structure or much to do once you know the map since it never changes

Just reposting from the thread a few days ago
How much content can I see in the first 2 hours
I'll pirate or buy-refund it first to see how is it
>>342612586
not that kind of game.
It can unnerve since you're pretty much entering C'thulus domain.
They really need to focus on adding PvP and Multiplayer to this game, it's the only way anyone would find this game fun.
Reaching the bottom of the ocean floor
>>342612586
If you look on the wiki on how to get started or just play on creative and go around in a seamoth then you can see a fair amount of stuff.
>still no directional spotlight on the cyclops
Dropped.
>>342612432
Threadly reminder.
http://kotaku.com/revulsion-with-real-guns-inspired-developer-to-make-a-g-1768960503I really do enjoy the game, but jesus fuck the devs are a bunch of pussies.
>>342612650
Well it's early access survival, isn't it?
I'm just asking if I'll run out of stuff to do quickly or does the game have a lot of content
>>342612586
2 hours no guide and you probably won't get very far because the game doesn't explain its systems much
There's no DRM so you can keep playing if you refund it
Some anons said this is where The Void is located which where the large monsters are supposed to spawn out of.
>>342612785
looks well rationalized to me even though it doesn't correspond with my opinion.
don't have any issue with it and i welcome the existence of fewer games with guns tbqh. makes developers think more creatively than "point middle of screen at thing and it goes away"
>>342612813
You will likely run out of content. There really isn't much outside of exploring and there's only so many threats to watch out for while you do so.
If you are worried about getting bored I'd hold off on getting it. You gotta want to explore it
>>342612881
>where the large monsters are supposed to spawn out of.
Sorry, anon, that isn't in the game yet. All that's out there is water and spooky-ness. Also, things don't acutally respawn in the game, yet. What you see is what you get, unless you breed more.
>>342612881
They don't spawn yet, currently there's nothing in the abyss and it goes down indefinitely. I think that's just a trench they haven't edited out or done anything with yet.
>>342612986
Oh, it could be fun if I had fear of underwater. I'll try it anyway, thanks
>>342612928
>well rationalized
>school shootings happen every day
>>342612928
I do agree that, yeah, its pretty neat that there are no guns in the game, and Imostlylike the way the game handles dealing with enemies, but I still wish that there was more than one thing in the entire game, aside from ramming your sub into things, that actually does damage.
Maybe like a slow-loading harpoon gun or something, I don't know.What I do know is that stunning a monster and knifing it to deaf over and over again gets boring fast.
>>342612675
Why does it look like that
>>342613345
Lights off, sonar on, very deep
Do I build my base right under my escape pod or what
>>342613434
Thanks
>>342613445
The pod has a high tendency to drift away so don't count on it always being around. Build your first base as close to the surface as you can to take advantage of solar power.
>>342613345
The Seamoth (Little ship you get to swim faster) can be upgraded with different stuff
I put in the Sonar upgrade which lets me basically scan the ground (to get the lay of the land so to speak) when shit gets too dark/lights fail you to navigate your way.
Is it worth buying yet now that it's on sale. I'm always afraid of lack of content and then never coming back when they actually add more.
Threadly reminder we will never have GUNS
>>342613743
"Worth buying" is always subjective. I personally got it full price and sunk 40 hours into it after the power nap update.
It just comes down to how much does exploring new areas excite you? And then the problem becomes will you want to explore it again when it's finished?
>>342613182
i think that was a cognitive error and he simply meant to type shootings
however, shootings at schools, do happen almost every. single. day. in america. so he's not wrong
we just don't call them "school shootings" but yeah i wouldn't doubt 1 a day actually. There are about 120 million school age children in america. Just a huge number for things like that not to happen
>>342613268
there is a harpoon gun thing or something? if theres not it was teased.
Well a better map ever be added? The scanner room covers such a small area and honestly isn't that detailed or useful. I wouldn't mind a GPS sort of thing that you had to pull out to use, but I just want something that showed the discovered areas.
>>342613774
So? The purpose of the game is that life sucks for you and that everything else WILL kick your ass.
The game is a hell of a lot scarier than other survival games for that point alone, and a major theme of this game is that humanity is not at the top of the food chain on other planets.
>>342611242
DONEVERYTANING
WAITAN
There is a story in there, but development has been backlogged with incredibly slow updates, and matters are worse when you have played and explored everything now.
Battery recharge update was worth it but it took forever to happen.
>>342614256
that's a fabricated theme, though, because with the technology your guy has he could just create any kind of weapon to instantly delegitimize any threat in subnautica
so we have to think of them as some kind of morally hyper evolved humanity that just doesn't think to use violence
.........however this seems directly contradicted by the basic plot that is in the game already
>tfw too scared to stray too far from the pod
>tfw hearing distant sounds when night time rolls around and heading back to the pod
I knew I hated the goddamn ocean but I thought since it was just a video game I'd be fine
I was wrong
>>342614368
Something something firmware updates on the fabricators
At the end of the day it's really just so you never feel fully in control
>>342614098
No harpoon gun in the game, or anything other than the knife or ramming into things that does damage.
>>342614098
>implying
School shootings dont happen everyday stop being stupid.
>>342612928
>well rationalised
He's advocating non-violence in the hopes of preserving human life via a game in which you are the only human on a hostile alien planet. Keep in mind that he also believes that video games don't cause violence, does that mean he believes they don't cause non violence either?
despite the topic I wanna ask here because people in subnautica threads seem calm and collected
Is this game worth grabbing, is it comfy?
>>342615506
>comfy
it's DOS xcom levels of bullshit
>>342615506
I can't say for sure but going by what I've heard the RNG can be absolutely infuriating at the worst of times. But that is part of the fun I guess
>>342615204
someone shooting someone at a school probably happens close to every day in america, just statistically speaking
that's not a "School shooting" though
>>342612785
To be fair it is pushing a different direction despite it being your standard survival game
>>342612482
>tfw newfags dont know
>>342614368
>he could just create any kind of weapon to instantly delegitimize any threat in subnautica
Not if there aren't blue prints for them.
Not having guns isn't a big deal, be less of a faggot
>>342615506
I sank around 20 hours in it, but didn't get too far. I found it fun and tactical. Lots of bullshit if you ever push your luck though. Less bullshit than XCOM though. I wouldn't say comfy, but it has some kind of oppressive atmosphere.
>>342612427
I pirated the 1353 version a while ago and am considering buying it. Is there new stuff already?
>>342615660
That's wrong though most shootings happen in "da hood" with handguns. Stop making yourself look dumb.
>>342615660
If it were students injured per day, I'd say yeah it happens every day. It's also a stupid statistic and has no real merit for the director's decision. He could have just said it was for game balance or to keep the game tense, but he decided to spout some bullshit about making a statement towards gun violence, by pulling a number out of his ass.
>>342616565
The most recent update allows you to recharge batteries and power cells as well as adding beds to bypass night time.
Power cells chargers are a bit exploitable in a cyclops right now however. Also terraforming will be removed soon
I'm fairly new to the game so I don't have a big reference of what was previously in.
Seriously? You gonna bring "muh gums" here?
Did they remove static rifle (or whatever it was called) too?
Of course I'd like to see some futuristic underwater AK or harpoon of some sorts, but it's been fine as it is so far.
There are torpedoes in the game, btw. Just sayin.
>>342613774
>guns removed from game
>vehicular slaughter is still in the game
Way to take a stance on the lesser evil, Flayra
Honestly anyone who's seen the main character should know all they need to know about the creators political stance on things
>>342616851
non lethal torpedos
You're in an alien environment and shit is out to kill you, you can fabricate anything with your magic wand. Only an idiot wouldn't have some kind of self defence
>>342612785
That statement has been proven to just be a way to grab some sweet initial tumblrbux, as the devs have now included an acid/nerve gas torpedo in the game that kills things
>>342615506
>comfy
it's not comfy at all
It's good though
>>342617009
Your (mining) ship was sent out with faulty firmware in the fabricators. It's why you need to scan things. It's flimsy, but it's the reason.

>>342617009
You can't imagine some plot-hole level retarded corporate policy of "ayy is gud boi he dindu nuthin" that forbids you use of lethal weapons?
That said, player character is a nigger with a green mohawk, so I guess it's a right this to do, call devs anti-guns cucks.
>>342612482
>>342615741
What was it?
Can a toaster run this game?
>>342618768
No, it's pretty demanding
>>342618768
considering the pop in on high end machines, i wouldn't try it.
>>342616640
>That image
It's funny, but the protagonist is actually a turbo-black with neon blue mohawk.
>>342617009
>>342618616
Want to hear a simpler explanation?
The survival-gear program of a corporate mining vessel is not going to just have the blueprints of military-grade firearms in the databanks.
Especially a program so damaged you have to literally download *scrap metal* to get more data.
>>342618892
im just happy hes not quipping off bullshit or doing anything other than having an embarrassing shadow that would identify him as such.
>>342616640
i know this might be hard to comprehend to you with your suburban upbringings but "the hood" has schools too and these schools are located in "the hood"
>>342619191
you shouldn't hold animals to the same standards as people anon.
>>342618616
Considering that the protagonist's hair seems to be held together by military-grade hair gel that doesn't let go even in the ocean, I assume his hairdo is some prank his co-workers pulled on him when he was passed out after a night of heavy drinking during the last shore leave and he'll be stuck with it for weeks to come.
>>342619049
They're living in a future so advanced that mass fabricators, genetic modification and terrain manipulation are so readily available that a dorky crewman with a device the size of a controller can build them.
The protagonist being a black guy doesn't matter since you could quite literally become any race or gender you want, given time and the proper facilities.
>>342619421
like i said, im glad hes easy to self insert into.
>>342619421
>The protagonist being a black guy doesn't matter since you could quite literally become any race or gender you want, given time and the proper facilities.
Why don't they do this at the start of the game? Start you off as mohawk-man then give you a character creator of sorts that lets you customize your appearance?
>>342619421
Aren't they removing terrain manipulation?
I'm new to Subnautica and have two questions.
First, do I have to play as that Korean faggot? Second, full release when?
>>342620051
yes and when its done :^)
>>342620129
>:^)
I don't know how to feel about this
If i'm new to subnautica, is it better to wait for full release because playing now might spoil everything?
>>342620196
ideally, it evokes anger and disbelief
>>342620051
>First, do I have to play as that Korean faggot?
Yes, but he's so much of a non-character that I literally thought he was a white guy until I saw the teaser.
>Second, full release when?
Whenever, they're still adding shit into the game.
>>342620196
The game isn't dead by any sense of the word, the developer has been regularly posting updates and development.
>>342620229
Nah, get it now, the rules of the game change every 6 months or so anyway.
>>342612785
it would be absolutely retarded to add conventional firearms to the game. ruins the immersion completelyHOWEVER
I would be okay with torpedoes and harpoons and all that nautical maritime weaponry bullshit
>>342612785
Not sure I agree with this reason behind it, but I really don't see why Subnautica NEEDs guns.
That seems like it would defy the entire feel of the game. It's not a game about combat. It's not a game about gun battles.
Which is fine. Not every game needs to be a contest to kill as much shit as possible. Sometimes thriving without excessive violence is fine too.
>>342620351
>>342620543
You know what would actually be cool for Subnautica? Mining facilities.
Like, you have to prospect first, discover a patch of ocean floor that pings hard for a certain mineral, and then build a big ole excavator that requires consistent power to remain operational, maybe include support structures such as refineries.
>>342620978
if they dont add some way to extract metals id be extremely surprised and disappointed. considering the aurora was a mining vessel it would be dumber than not including a spear gun or a net for fishing
>>342620978
Need to be careful with that as to not make the game trivial. Seems like something that could really only be added much later down the line, or else it risks removing any reason to leave the base.
>>342612561
>What are those giant fucking jellyfish squid

it gets even worse, when done , these fuckers will have a localized emp blast which can disable your seamoth and seaglide and possibly even your fuck off weaponry

>>342621202
Aurora is a rescue vessel, sent to get the Degassi, the actual mining vessel.
Both ships were shot down outside of the planet.
>>342621202
>>342621375
Mining facilities feel like something that should only be available after you can access the main databanks of the Aurora (maybe something you can do immediately after fixing the radiation leak?)
And let's be honest here, by the time you're crawling over the Aurora the whole resource-collection aspect of the game has gotten tedious, at least for the base metals. There shouldn't be diamond mines or Uranium pits sure, but something that lets me actually get silver or quartz without trawling half the fucking seabed for it would be appreciated.
>>342621718
>Aurora is a rescue vessel, sent to get the Degassi, the actual mining vessel.
Really? Shit, gotta check what the codex says after I scan some scrap metal then, because last I checked it was a "Class IV mining vessel" or something to that effect.
>>342621718
"automated distress bounceback from the aurora mining vessel"
sounded to me like they just sent another one
>>342612881
daily reminder.
there is a challenger deep in subnautica.
it cought my cyclops back then when there was flooding, but no crushing. got rammed by a leviathan close to maximum depth, and flooded, i sunk down to 7000 meters and got cought on a ledge on the cliff. it goes down even deeper. screenshot from when i tried to salvage my cyclops inventory, it is pitch black down there.
>Want to be able to flood my shit
>Don't want to search for all the blueprints

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>342621819
>>342621807
PDA logs found in the Degassi and Aurora wreckages scattered throughout the ocean reveal that the Degassi was the original mining vessel owned by Torgaljin Corporation. It crashed on the planet 5 years before the start of the game. The Aurora was sent to pick them up and finish their job, but its primary purpose was to collect them.
>>342622218
does not change the fact that the ship itself is a mining craft as well. unless they plan on retconning it the ship calls itself a mining vessel
>>342616713
So you are angry the director made a decision based on his sentiment? You must hate every vietnam-era movie ever.

did you shake it off?
were you followed?
Does the game ever crash when you change the graphics presets for anyone else?
The game also lags a shitload whenever I'm loading into a level too.
I dont have a crappy computer though.
Also this game fucking freaks me out with the giant jellyfish looking motherfuckers making noise that echo for miles. Maybe I shouldn't play this while high considering I have thalassophobia
>>342623446
My LITERAL hopes,dreams, and NIGHTMARE.
I havent gotten a chance to play yet and I have severe thalassophobia. As of now I think the leviathans and Sea dragon look too "cartoon/dreamworks"-ey? But I also know that its going to be a complete different story when im actually PLAYING the game.
All in all though,They need to make the Leviathan and Sea Dragon look a lot more threatening for being some of the biggest monsters in the game.
A personally wish of mine are different types of a creature. A brown bioluminecent Sea Leviathan that lurks much deeper and slightly bigger then the normal leviathans. A variation of the species would be great.
>>342623882
It must have been following me while I was trying to get back to the surface but I didn't notice. I guess I shook it off and I turned around just in time to see it going back to wherever it was.

I will never buy this game considering the developers fucking ruined Natural Selection 2 for no goddamn reason by handing control over it to a guy who doesn't know shit but shares the same political opinions as the dev's boss

Getting a cyclops makes all fear in this game go away. I'm pretty sure nothing can touch you inside of it.
What's these rumors I keep hearing of an August full release?
>>342624410
crashed on a ocean world, good luck!
as of now its mainly exploring and scanning new life. later there will be more story and goals ive heard.
>>342624410
Yeah, pretty much. It's a survival game if you're into that but you can turn off food and water needs if it's not your thing.
>>342624487
That's what they're pushing for on the Trello board
>>342624484
I thought this too but wanted to explore a cave with the seamoth and ended up stuck in there because it was in the dunes near a fucking reaper.
>>342624484
for now
>>342624594
What do you mean? Stuck how? All reapers have done to me is bump my cyclops around
>>342624671
This is exactly the response I wanted to get. I hope you're right. I don't like feeling safe down there. I liked shitting my pants exploring the deep dark blackness of the lost river
>>342624682
Not necessarily stuck just fucking cowering in the hole while I waited for the sound to go farther away. I was in my seatmoth mind you, and my cyclops was enough of a distance away that mystery reaper noises caused me to worry.
Game needs: elevators, electric doors, window shutters, tram tunnels, thick cables for transporting electricity instead of these dinky rods, with a potential upgrade of wireless power, teleporter as an end game transportation devjce, ability to expand rooms, mineral mining devices, drones for repair and mining, harvesting of fish.
Right now it just feels kinda light. I wish they would concentrate more on gameplay stuff than story elements.

>>342624784
You can get out of the seamoth while the reaper is tossing it around and shoot him with a full charged stasis rifle. Puts him out of commission for more than long enough to submarine the fuck out of there.

You could also try installing that seamoth upgrade that shocks the water around you. I think that stops reapers, but I've never used it. I spend most of my time in the cyclops because it makes me feel safe
>>342625216
I just like to talk about what I would like to see in the game but I guess I will post there.
>>342625409
heh
looking at the trello roadmap it seems the exo is going to be how we drill for resources. i just hope it allows me to get more quartz because that shit is worth more than diamonds
>>342625560
I wish the cyclops had cameras on the sides and back or something, the limited view and slow turning freaks me out when I start hearing shit bump into it. At least there's the warning icon.
>>342625579

Life is suffering
>>342625657
Well it does have a camera on the back. Also one on top and bottom. Are those not good enough? I can usually see everything pretty well with them.
When is the Sea Emperor/Dragon Levi going to be properly implanted? Because he moves in the most hilarious ways as is.

how do
>>342626283
are there not tons of wrecked parts in the red kelp area close to the aurora? there were like 7+ seamoth chunks there for me
>>342626283
I found a full seamoth worth of parts all clumped around each other after I spent forever unlocking the thing. Just look around in the red grass.
>>342618471
or just watching the official trailer duh.
>>342626353
I don't think reaper eggs are implemented yet, if they ever will be at all
>>342622404
>So you are angry the director made a decision based on his sentiment?
Not at all, but it seems incredibly disingenuous when you justify these opinions with outrageously fucked up numbers just to make your point sound extreme. It's not really a secret that Flayra is kind of a retard when dealing with criticism, but his statement just drags all kinds of other unwanted attention for him to strawman against.
>>342626640
Sea Dragon eggs will be, I don't see why Reapers wouldn't have them.
>>342626730
He meant mass shootings, and it's true that there is a mass shooting in America almost every day. We all just ignore the fact that a mass shooting is any shooting in which 3 or more people are targeted, which applies to a lot of gang violence.
It's really funny that white people have this reputation for being crazy mass shooters when it's primarily blacks doing it.
>>342626640
sad but I understand, would be nice though
>every subnautica thread devolves into gun arguments because you faggots can't let one happen without posting that blog post
Fuck you guys, can't we have one thing that isn't tainted by politics?
>>342619637
Because it fucks everything up. With terraforming all of the ground is made up of lots and lots and lots and LOTS and LOTS AND LOTS of individual chunks, which is why there's so much lag and pop-up at the moment. They're getting rid of it to make everything stable and faster. The only thing it negatively affects is one particular creature that had to be revamped because it worked with the terraforming idea, but they'll put it in after the game launches and hopefully they'll make it so it attacks your bases on occasion.
>>342627207
just ignore the politics posts instead of talking about not wanting to talk about politics
there are plenty of other comments to reply to that aren't discussing it
So I am confused. Is it possible to create sustainable food with crops and fish breeding or is that not in right now? I want to get to the point where I don't have to worry about food and shit.
>>342627512
put two fish in a tank two units high and never worry about food again. or go to the island and grab the planters and lantern fruit
>>342627512
Get lantern fruits from Floater Island and you'll be immortal
>>342620978
To balance it maybe they could make it so nearby seamonsters became far more aggressive due to you encroaching on their territory, eventually leading to attacks on your bases.
>>342623890
Those giant reefbacks are completely passive and chill. Swim up to one and say hi next time you see one, they just float and relax.
They're my favorite creatures in game by far
>>342627583
>>342627585
Lantern fruit grows quickly I am assuming?
>>342627757
>called a reefback
>theres no reef on its back
shameful
>>342627850
And it gives you a decent amount of water as well as food, plus the trees have a lot on them
>>342627850
lantern fruit is op as shit aside from the fact its a bit bulky so taking water+cured fish is better for transport. it gives water and food and grows insanely fast you only need one if you dont venture far from your base and you can plant it in the cyclops
>>342627591
They will be implementing creatures attacking your bases in the future, along with base defense systems. The larger your bases the more often they'll be attacked. Don't know if it will be by the nearby creatures/ones native to the biome or if Reapers and Sea Dragons and such will migrate all the way from their homes to fuck your shit up.
>>342627209
>Taking out one of the most fun things in the game
Booooooooooooooooooo
Does it work with the vive? On the steam store it only has the oculus thing.
>>342628039
not yet, but the devs have a devkit and are currently working on it. last i heard there are still crashing issues they are working around.
>>342627850
Plant 4 lantern fruits in your base/cyclops and you will never want for food or water again. Hell, just plant one and you'll be fine.
>>342628084
Ok thanks anon, will be waiting for it.
>>342625560
The seamoth electric thing is chargeable, and a fully charged zap sends a reaper running, and is usable when you're in their jaws
>>342612432
>ROAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRAR
>>342627859
It's called a reefback because it shits out boulders that coral reefs eventually grow on.
I know it would be cooler if it had a reef, but the same is at least somewhat apt
>>342611242
>tfw horrible thalassophobia
I get super nervous even watching people play this game
reminder that there is nothing wrong with being afraid when you could be ambushed by apex predators from ANY angle and you only have visual range of detection.
>>342628585
I have to admit, I was kind of shitting myself when exploring the pitch black caves that are a kilometer down
>>342623672
This fucker squeaking and barking at me is one of the most frightening things in this game.
>>342628840
>go into plant tube worm grabs face
just fuck my shit up senpai
Hey anons, I greatly enjoy survival/exploration themed games (with resource management) like pic related. Is Subnautica worth getting to scratch that itch?Even though I'm thalassophobic?
>>342629231
>prepare for nyctophobia
>>342611242
>buying an early access game
What happened to you /v/? You used to be smarter then this
>>342629231
I'm not sure this is the game you want to scratch that particular itch. The resources are more of a hassle than anything and it becomes of game of going further and further out just to find a couple bits of Quartz for some glass. The food and water mechanics are ok untill you get set up with a filter system or lantern fruit and then they are just a hassle as well.
The meat of the game, for me anyway, was closer to a sightseeing tour with bits of avoiding giant monsters
>>342628992
>EMP pulse
>the vocalizations
Am I the only one who realized the Crabsquid is a shout-out to the MUTOs?
Does this game not autosave? I made a hardsave while exploring Aurora pretty early in the game, but I kept going for about two hours after that, and then I quit, and didn't save because I thought the game would autosave, yet when I started the game again I discovered my last save was at the Aurora.
>>342630352
No auto saves that I know of. Happened to me as well
Is there a map in this game?
>>342630352
It saves whenever you go inside your base/sub/escape pod, though I'm not sure if it's only your inventory or the whole game.
Should I get subnautica if I bought dayz sa and space engineers and hate them both? Subnautica actually looks pretty good but I can't buy this shit if I'm never gonna play it.
>>342630468
Sure would be nice to have a little message when you quit, informing you of that fact.
>>342630586
It only saves your inventory, or at least it didn't save my game.
About to start building my base underwater, which part do I build first? Will it flood if I do it in the wrong order?
>>342629489
I've only played 3 hours so far, but I didn't even realize it was early access. Very solid so far for 11 bucks.
>>342630586
All that does is secure your inventory so if you die before getting back again anything secured is not lost while anything you gained is
>>342630645
Bear in mind there is no and never will be multiplayer
>>342630789
I'm fine with no multiplayer, I just want to know if it's as unfinished like dayz.
>>342630765
Part 1: Foundation
Part 2: Big cylinder
Part 3: Tube with Hatch
Part 4: Solar Panels
Boom, your new home is ready.

Is it just me, or does anyone else fail to find the giant monsters scary?
I mean, I'd normally be scared shitless of giant sea monsters in spooky dark depths, but these designs are way too silly looking. They remind me of some kid-friendly Dreamworks shit.
We need more abstract looking stuff with more spooky faces.
>>342630983
>>342630789
They're considering multiplayer, but it will be after the game launches and they have all of the important stuff first.
>>342630983
It's certainly unfinished as of now but content seems to be being added regularly with a clear end point in sight.
Haven't played dayz so I can't compare the two but the main problem I have in subnautica is a lack of goals right now. You wander around scanning parts and that's pretty much the height of the games progression
>>342631196
Such as? Got any visual examples of what you find spoopy?
>>342631196
They sound spooky though
I kinda agree a bit, sea dragon should be less green
>>342631196
They never really scared me either, probably the lack of pupils and a soulless stare of an ordinary fish.
>>342628992
https://soundcloud.com/kamakazi/crabsquid
The sound design in this game is top tier
>>342631152
thanks lad
>>342611242
Anybody playing it in VR ? The support any good ? I heard it was kinda awkward, when I was last looking into it.
>>342624296
What do you even do in this scenario? Live indoors forever?
>>342631906
Hope you can get to your seamoth in time and never look back
>>342631196
Or alternatively actually have them in the darker depths. i think that would up the scare factor if you couldn't see their whole body at once.
![deep_sea_monster_by_spoon111088-d2zdzyc[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/aMxRTvx.jpg "deep_sea_monster_by_spoon111088-d2zdzyc[1].jpg")
>>342631441
I was thinking something more like extreme anglerfish faces, and something like the pelican-eel. Also, definitely more squid/octopus inspired stuff.
Basically, they should look more like actual, alien-looking real life fauna, and less like fantasy cartoon dragons.
>>342632071
The larger beasts are in the dark depths. When you see pictures and videos of them in the shallows it's people using Experimental Mode.
>>342632172
Ah, does anyone have any pictures of them in their natural environments? I want to see how spoopy/nonspoopy they look in the dark
>>342632152
>more like actual alien fauna
>less like fantasy designs
what actual alien fauna are YOU using for reference?
>>342632071
The place where the Sea Dragon normally hang out is in a gigantic cavern 1 km below sea level, with a castle made of solidified lava in the middle. Pretty spooky
>>342632271
Someone posted a video with the biggest one swimming near him last night, it was pure black and all you could see was its lit up areas + his flashlight.
Fucking horrifying, it's why I got the game.
>want to keep going deeper around starter zone
>constantly running out of breath because I can't find bubble corals + have to wear radiation suit
FUCK
>>342612785
This is dumb but I dig what it means for the game. Guns are boring and everywhere, I'd like to see how creative they get with the alternatives.
>>342632684
Make some oxygen tanks you moomin
>>342632780
I already have one, you can only equip one can't you?
>>342632780
the ones in your inventory also count to your maximum
>>342632918
for
>>342632835
oops!
ive also heard they effect your swim speed if you have many
>>342632304
>actual alien fauna
Read my post again. Thats not what I said.
I even gave you examples idiot.
>>342632835
You can have one equipped, but any others in your inventory will still add to your oxygen supply.
I don't know if they're going to remove (re-remove?) that at some point, and if they do, I hope they give you two tank slots.
Here's a night shot of the Sea Dragon at the surface. The video is a good indication of what it will be like in the Inactive Lava Zone and Lava Castle, the guy playing messes with the darkness, fog, and such to show what the Sea Dragon in its natural home looks like.

Skip to about 4:00 if you want to get to the action. Keep in mind that it's notfinished yet, so the animations and such will be a bit wonky.
We need more Alien stuff
Is this The Abyss: The Game?
>>342633000
>>342632918
>>342633063
Nice, I wish your inventory was bigger though, seaglide+tanks are like half of it.
Does the big ship at the start explode after a while or something?
I'm not sure if I've fucked up or not
