Post more bases, need inspiration.
Outside of my shitty base. I've moved the solar panels to another spot though.
>>343064761
You must make a comfy underwater NEET /v/ shitposting lair at the bottom of the deepest ocean reaches, powered by volcanic trenches.
>>343064761
This island is where all the reapers are right? I'm too scared to even flip through my camera feeds in the cyclops. I just know imma switch cameras and there's gonna be a reaper right in front of the fucking camera.
Is there any indication of when the dev is going to stop adding content to this?
I bought it ages ago, played a bit and liked it, figured I'd leave it off until it was done. With the game blowing up like it has recently I doubt that's coming too soon, should I just play it now?
>>343065130
What's that big ass room called and how do I make one?
>>343065763
It's an observatory, I think you need to find a blueprint.
>>343064761
>>343066328
I hate fucking holes, i cant see shit and things clip in when im descending.
And then you hear the roar of some fucking monster trying to kill you.
>>343065763
Which big room? The biggest one is the Moon Pool, the rectangular one in the middle, and the round one with the window connected right to it is the Scanner Room
I hate how these little legs are here, looks silly.
>>343066328
are we posting holes
This game actually worth it?
>>343066609
for $10? yes.
>>343064761
>>343065049
The game really doesn't have enough content to warrant a "post your base" thread.
>>343066609
If you like swimming around constantly afraid and sometimes finding some really neat underwater stuff, yeah.
>>343065049
I built mine at the exact same spot.
>>343066660
Thread was meant as a general subnautica thread aswell.
I like the game, but I'm not touching it untill they do the performance update. An i7, 12 gigs of memory, and an admitedly shitty 940m graphics card should still be able to handle it without massive juttering death on every zone transition.
>>343067105
what are your ram and harddrive specs
those are the main bottlenecks currently, the game loading new areas is really read intensive
I thought the fear of the dark deep water would get better but it's fucking not. I'm so paranoid about reapers even though I've only seen one once near the aurora.
>>343067105
apparently they're taking out terraforming which will dramatically improve performance.
>hour and a half into my first game
>still living out of a burning escape pod
feels bad.
>>343064761
were (and can you) get reef-back eggs? they're listed on the wiki as usable biofuel.
>>343067347
Build a Cyclops. There is no creature in the game that could so much as scratch it.
>>343067616
I have a cyclops, I'm still shitting my pants and I'm scared to go in the very dark/deep areas.
Guys, my fucking lifepod moved really far out into the open ocean. Why did this happen?

Ya'll like the arches don't you?

how are you supposed to progress with this shit.
i can't get the materials to get further out because i don't have enough oxygen and food and i can't get enough oxygen and food because i don't have enough materials to progress.
I've got 3 hours playtime now and I just established a tiny base with a farm full of airfish to get clean water but it feels so slow.

Hey guys, I have 3 multipurpose rooms stacked on each other.
I was building an alien containment on the third one and as I was going upstairs to get more mats, I decided to delete the ladder and now I can't place it again.
Is there a way to noclip to make my way to the 3rd room again to finish the alien containment thing so I can place the ladder?
>>343071017
you can place ladders on the sides besides the aquarium
its not just confined to the centre of the room
>>343069323
perfect
>>343071017
>>343071302
What is going on is that I decided to attach a room to another room vertically. I had ladders and everything was working perfectly.
Now I decided to add an alien containment to the room and on my way back up to get mats to finish it I decided to delete the ladder to place it in another spot.
Now since there is "ongoing construction" it won't let me place the ladder again it just shows it red.
I also can't place a hatch in the room so I'm completely locked out. I can't even delete it with q.
Someone PLEASE tell me there's no clip in this game.
>>343071017
Build a hatch on the outside.
>>343069745
you built where I built, good taste anon.
>>343071532
It won't let me do anything because there's ongoing construction.
What the FUCK do I do.
Will make a webm for clarity.
PLS HELP.
>>343071478
There is, check console commands.
>>343069237
oh. I was hoping it was an actual map of your explored areas with 3D projections and shit
>>343069454
That was some grade A bullshit.
>>343071663
To clarify, hit f3, hit f8, click the box on disable console commands, hit enter, type in the no clip code that I can't remember but you can google.
i feel so far from buildin a base. i'm still swimming around the pod like a lil kawaii fishboy
>>343071794
The pod drifts away over time, friend.
>>343071843
you think i cant drift fgt?
>>343071843
Until you repair it, then it turns on a gravity anchor.
>>343071771
Google'd. Can't find a noclip command..
Here's a webm to show you my issue.

I want to post my base, but exclusively use phone to post here.
How do I motivate myself to either post from PC or move screenshots to my phone?
How do I place solar panels on my cyclops? Did they remove that in the last update or something?
>>343071909
Just reload a save from before you shot yourself in the foot.
>>343071901
is that when you weld it? i know what i fixed with the comms but i welded some panel that just says 'escape pod' and nothing happened. did that anchor it? are you even forsrs ri nao?
also, what do after radiation suit, fins, tank, welding gun? what should my peiority be?
>>343071909
try building a corridor and then a hatch on the corridor
>>343071992
sit at your fucking pc?
>>343072065
Removed.
>>343072158
why not build a base? all you need is the tool and a shitload of titanium and quartz
>>343072239
i mean, the pod works pretty well as a base for now. why bother? shouldn't i build some kinda ship thig first
>>343072198
God dammit. Now I guess I have to stock the damn thing for long expeditions. This will be tedious if I have no renewable power source.
>>343071909
you may be able to build a corridor attached to the side of it, if not you could try pic related.
>>343072347
whatever works for you, base can give you somewhere to park the ship.
>>343072162
THANK YOU SO MUCH
i dont even play subnautica but i love these threads
>>343072908
I love you, anon.
>>343072347
Nothing stopping you from doing that but searching for the pieces could be time consuming.
You could start off by making the Seaglide
Go find the pieces of the Seamoth
Make a vehicle bay
Make the Seamoth
Go find the Cyclops parts
Make the Cyclops
Fill the Cyclops with stuff for building a base
Go find somewhere to start building.
>>343072716

How do I upgrade Seamoth?
>>343074193
base*
Hows this game running for you guys? Are the video options extensive, I get wary with these early access games.
>>343074193
Upgrade seamoth by finding the seamoth upgrade fragments around the koosh zone. Also comfy base anon.
>>343074301
best way to find it?
Next update when?
Is the exosuit the next update?
>>343074283
With terrain currently the game has severe pop-in.
They're removing terrain digging so it's all mostly/completely static. Apparently that should fix the terrain load issues.
Options are kinda "Low/High/Experimental Max".
Here's a gameplay vid someone posted in a previous thread.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug0tZBD74lI
>>343065656
They keep adding content like entire maps to Natural Selection 2 and that was released over 3 and a half years ago.
>>343074369
look for the koosh of course
>>343064761
Jesuschrist...
Dear paid shill, I really like subnautica, but you are forcing too much these threads these last days even before the steam sales. Stop it anon, or just open 1 or 2, not 4 generals every day, its too obvious
>>343074534
>experimental max
>>343074931
You've not been on /v/ for long have you?
This always happens with every game /v/ likes.
Give it a couple of weeks and it'll fall into obscurity or /vg/ same thing really.
>>343074931
thanks for the bump, here's your $0.10
>>343067616
Yet. Already have a few monsters in a line up that will attack and try to sink your cyclops.
>>343074857
DUDE, KUSH
I dont really know how everyone else plays but ive taken to building air stations along the ocean floor the deeper i get. Its only like 6 titanium and a handful of quartz which is fucking everywhere. Also god damn batteries drain fast. Getting deeper is becoming a pain with just the seaglide. Are there more seamoth parts than you need or do you need to find the exact locations of all 6 parts or whatever
>>343075747
The seamoth parts are typically in more than one biome with plenty of spares and you only need like, four or five pieces scanned.
>>343075747
There's plenty more parts than what you need.
>>343075097
Subnautica is not even a new game, its too obvious that the developers bought some kind of online adversting package for the summer sales.
>>343076009
i dont even mind, post more comfy underwater webms

Whatever you do, don't spawn in 1000 airsacks at once.
Will try 100 or 200 next time.
>>343075747
You can do the same with just 2 titanium.
Build outdoor planter, fill it with 6 purple brain coral samples.
Infinite air at any depth.
>no glass x corridor
>>343076526
go play ark, nigger. should be up your alley
>>343076546
What about 1000 sea dragons? Is that okay?
>>343076640
This
>>343076620
I'll have to try that tonight, though i do like having rest stations and locker areas sporadically. Plus titanium is fucking EVERYWHERE
Docking bay that connects to the Cyclops and your base when?
The moon pool is cool as fuck but we need something for the Cyclops.
>>343072353
you have to build power cell charging station next to your engine. the cyclops can recharge power cells at a rate of 2:1 , its an over unity machine, you will never run out of juice
How can I build solar panels? I'm trying to build a base but I have no power
>>343076526
>NO multiplayer
Fucking sold
I really hope they don't remove sand digging.
>>343076947
Wait, shouldn't that just drain the energy from the cyclops at the same rate that it recharges? What the hell man?
>>343076974
get a habitat builder, it'll be under the power tab, should probably have a power source that can work 24/7
>trying to find sandstones that are needed for everything
>>343076974
If you cant see it on the build tool, you will need a blueprint. Same with every shit you see on these threads
>>343077067
Like he said, one Cell in the Cyclops charges two Cells.
>>343077102
Look in the kelp forest zone below 60 meters. It's there anon.
>>343077067
It probably should, and probably will at some point. That or they just won't let you build power cell chargers in the cyclops.
>>343077072
I have a habitat builder but it doesn't show up under power
>>343077162
Where can I get a blueprint?
>>343077067
it gets even better, build several charging stations , and you can drive that thing non stop even without the power efficiency module
>>343077262
if you have a scanner, you're looking for green safe -esque objects on the ground, the solar panel ones are around the safe shallows
>>343077262
Looks like solar panel fragments are in the Safe Shallows zones.
>>343077415
>>343077419
Alright thank you
>>343077406
Too bad building the fucking pressure module on the cyclops takes TEN fucking upgraded titanium bars.
>>343077217
ITS FUCKING NOT. Well perhaps i should look better. First i need to build a weilder and fix the flooding in my base
>>343077550
you mean plast steel.
whats does this have to do with the power efficiency module you cant even build, but have to pick up on the aurora?
>>343070358
source?
>when you have a shitty toaster computer that you never upgrade because all you play is morrowind, rct2, and freeware
>tfw you see a game that actually looks fun but you can't run it
Should I bite the bullet and upgrade my shit, or is this just a flavor of the month?
>>343077786
power module is a must have, doubles the time the cyclops can run on batteries
Is there a mode with infinite resources? I don't really care for survival, I just want to build some cool shit
>>343077786
Oh, I was just bitching about how the cyclops takes a lot of work to get it to where it can dive really really deep.
>>343077934
Maybe.
>>343077934
its called "bobthebuilder"
console command
>>343077864
either way, you should upgrade it. you can play games from 3 years ago or so up to games 4 years from now
umm
>>343077961
haha, isnt that just the mk1 module? you still have to upgrade it to mk3 with the upgrade station. it gets even more expensive. but you get 1500 meters out of it
>>343078207
>>343078207
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As someone who has only seen other people play this... how dangerous are enemies to your base?
I see base has hull integrity and shit, but none of the videos I've seen of the game have I ever seen a base get attacked or be broken.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmxjpJAeeew
>>343078740
neat
Is there a tentacle monster thatrapes you if you get caught?
On a scale of Minecraft to Spengies how complex is this game?
>>343078626
Creatures won't attack your base atm, though they can unintentionally damage them (like gasopod gas, and floaters). I'm pretty sure they're planning on adding creatures attacking your base, as well as base defenses.
>>343078893
There definitely should be giant sea anemones that do something similar to that
>>343078945
apples
>>343078893
>>343079085
They've designed a plant that has tentacles that'll grab you. Plus there's a female model that they have but not implemented yet.
I'm like 2 hours in, I dunno what to do next
I have all the tools I need, just got the seamoth parts so I'm building that next, but what the hell do I do after?
>>343079218
Does the game have an overarching objective? Also any idea how long until v1.0?
>>343079581
Go deeper
>>343079581
you find the cyclops, and go even deeper to find better tech for your base
>>343079691
survive, eventually get rescued
in 9-9-9-9-9-9 days.
or escape yourself.
not sure what it will be, but there will be a final goal
>>343079909
i am pretty sure you have to get the sea emperor on your side by helping him defeat the sentient beings, and as gift he will give you this perfectly functional escape vehicle he used as butt plug the whole time.
we know nothing about the final story arc yet
>>343079909
>survive
I don't care much for survival games but but the whole underwater setting is attracting me just for the sake of comfy.
>>343079691
you gotta build a cool base and comfy it up
Is there an optimal place for a first base? I feel like it would be a waste to build it right next to the escape pod
>>343080145
well, the distress beacon tells you to wait for a retrieval team. estimated arrival : 9...9...9 days.
days on this planet are short
>>343079909
Dude if you even read one of the design docs or participate in the feedback forums even a tiny fucking bit you would already know what the end-game is going to be.
Why the fuck do you retarded faggots buy early access games if you have no interest in helping the dev figure out/fix bugs and give feedback on game balance and design?
Morons all of you, I swear to fucking christ.
>>343079401
is there modding support
>>343080447
It's nothing against the genre in particular (most of the time), I just lack the imagination & creativity to really enjoy even good survival games.
At this point I'm wanting Subnautica just to be a graphics whore.
>>343080497
i use the feedback function like a diary. noting anything weird i find in the game not behaving.
i was referring to the emergency broadcast telling you to hold out.
the design docs are spoiling the fun.
you just went full retard.
>>343080497
>you would already know what the end-game is going to be
Well, what is it?
>>343080325
No idea, i built mine next to the base since i just didnt have storage room anymore and throwing lockers all over the ground was a huge pain. Im in the process of building one deeper though.
>>343065386
>being afraid of reapers
>while in the cyclops even
Get a fucking grip.
>>343080978
well, there was/is a bug , reapers can hurt you inside your cyclops.
better grab your dick
>>343077102
If you can go deep then there is a fucking monster that turns the soil up as he walks aka he spawns sandstones in his path.
>>343065386
Kinda hard to tell what island is this with the little you show. I'm assuming its the actual mini island and not the floating one.
Just got the game recently, how do you build bases? I seem to have the blue prints and the material needed but when I click on the blueprints nothing happens.
>>343081658
Make a habitat builder first.

Picture frame with a map is an excellent idea. Props.
How the FUCK do you justify enemies like this? Literally uninstall worthy.
>>343082079
People have been doing that since the Picture frame was added.
picture frames don't work if you pirated
>>343082257
How do you get the map to begin with?
>>343082257
I never even thought to do it. My base and building skills are kinda shitty.
>>343082407
By using the internet
>>343082407
Googly works, if nobody posts one.
Just goes in the Screenshots folder within your save.

>>343081758
thanks m8.
>>343082257
I didn't even know you could do this.
>>343082254
Yeah, Crashes are bullshit. Especially since they're almost exclusively in early game areas, and that by the time you get shit like the stasis rifle or propulsion cannon, you never need to go near them again.
>>343082507
>>343082540
That's very lame. Not to mention the map tells WAY too much. Might as well let someone else play the game for you.
>>343082853
>>343082978
It would be cool if you could make your own map in game
>>343082696
>Need crash powder

>>343083296
There's a battery charger in the game.
>>343076526
Honestly I'm glad they're avoiding multiplayer for now and just focusing on making a good single player game. You don't see much of that in survival type games.
Also I believe you can partially tame stalkers as long as you have enough fish.
>>343083387
Yes but i need to find the blueprints first.
>>343083296
Make 8 batteries and build a battery charger, or 16 and two chargers if you're into unreasonably long expeditions, never run out of juice again.
>>343083345
Forgot pic
They need bigger enemies. And I mean big, like... the Leviathan Dragon is still a lot smaller than what some people imagine might dwell on the bottom of the abyss.
I mean shit that's the size of whatever the skeleton in the lost caves belong to. THAT, would freak people the fuck out
>>343083173
I thought there was maybe something in the game that would allow you to draw your own map as you explore, but I guess not.
>>343068372
Use the site "isthereanydeal". This is the lowest subnautica has ever been and probably will be for at least 6 months if not longer.
>>343068825
Get a seaglide and carry multiple oxygen tanks when you want to look for seamoth/moonpool blueprints. If you don't care about supplies you can carry a bunch of o2 tanks to make your o2 bar longer.

fucking kill yourself
I don't know if it's just me but after some 60 hours I've noticed the game is sorta, well, shallow. I adore it, it's cosy as fuck, but there's just not a whole lot to it. I know it's early access, but even looking at the roadmap it's still kinda eh. I really wish it was just way, way bigger. Then again, the dev team isn't that big.
>>343083754
You can use beacons for areas of importance if you don't mind HUD clutter
>cozy as fuck underwater
>need to search for stuff i need in grassy plateus
>angry sharks shit attack
why must the game be scary, this is supposed to be comfy
Current base, not sure what to do now. Might make a base on one of the islands.
>>343084232
They're both the same inventory size, you want the high capacity.

Worth it. I mean it's just one enemy, why would its size be that much of an issue?
It could be slow as fuck and passive and you'd still be freaked out by it because of the size alone

>Four observatories
>All in the same base
>None above water
Why.

I was really disappointed when I reached the edge of the world for the first time, but it's not like the game uses procedural generation to endlessly do shit, and even if it did it would be even more shallow.

Plasteel tanks way less than regular tanks, but high capacity tanks weigh nothing at all because of a bug right now. No reason not to go high capacity.

I can't like any base that uses those platforms instead of terraforming. They look fucking disgusting.

I made one just to watch sandsharks fuck up other fish. The other ones are temporary just cause I had spare stalker teeth. When I want to make an observatory somewhere else later I'll deconstrust them. Might replace them with rooms with containment chambers for different species of fish I find. Haven't decided.

the terraformer bugs the shit out of me, it leaves loads of little stones floating all over the place.
When will they add big rooms, my bases feel really samey

Lol nothing is scary about the water. All huge creatures are very nice, not their fault they are so huge that when they want to hug you u die. THey just wanna be ur friend. So please remember how nice all big creatures are next time you see one and don't judge it or run away just cause it comes toward you and want to be your friend.
I have a beacon near the sea treaders and the mushroom forest. Which base should I build up/which is closer to more recources? Mainly I want a base close to quartz, silver, and titanium.
