Where should I make my first serious base? I made a temporary and sort of stumbled into having a Cyclops, so I can go pretty much anywhere.
Also post spooks.I saw that reaper by the back of the Aurora yesterday.
I fucking shit my pants
FUCK this guy
Where do you guys go once you get the cyclops? I've found the game lacking in goals once you have the sub. Last I played I was stuck in the lost river for hours until I just gave up and shut the game off
>>344757121
I have been just roaming around looking for a spot to build a base, although I haven't found much interesting yet. I've only seen the seaweed forest, mushrooms, the plain with red grass, and I believe floating islands. And I just found an island above water after getting the signal from the Aurora.
>>344757317
I built my base along the safe shallows hovering over the red kelp areas since they have abundant salt and fish. For your base I recommend anywhere with enough flat space for a moon pool. Having enough close nearby resources and fish to munch is helpful too. Have you explored the Aurora yet?
>>344757682
Oh and sunlight needed for solar panels since that's the most efficient and cheap source of power
>>344757774
>>344757682
Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. I really want to build something deep down, but they Cyclops isn't really set up for exploring as much as it is sorof of a mobile base to launch the seamoth from.
And yeah, I explored the Aurora.
>>344756086
I'm still too lazy to build any base except for the first one in my shallows. Cyclops provide me more than everything I need to go on a long gathering spree.
So here's a spook
>kinda wanna play this again
>remember I beached my seamoth on an island which had survivors on it
>the island is really far away from my base
>if I look down in the water there's nothingness
I guess i'm stranded then
>>344758186
That crab... Oh shit .. I'm scared shitless about everything in that webm
>>344758303
Don't worry, the island is totally safe to explore hehe...
>>344758448
I've already explored some of it, but anon...what's in the big pond in the middle of the island?
What would you like to see put into the game?
I'd love a creature tagging system. Being able to keep tabs on some of the neater/more dangerous critters would be a hell of a boon.
>>344758702
It actually just connects to the ocean, but I've heard spoopy ass noises at night on the island. Don't know if it's a bug or on purpose
>>344758719
That would be pretty cool, I'd like if they added different maps to travel to. I'd love a super deep ocean that can only be explored with the cyclops, with some bigger more scary creatures cruising around as well.
>>344756086
just build it in the safe shallows you'll tank me later. Transportation isnt a big deal mid way through the game
I miss bigger bases or at least bigger tanks for fish, and I really want to get a Reefback egg although its only spawnable with the console
Maybe another dayAlso add more deep sea stuff and more fish species
>>344758303
what part of the map is this located in b/c this doesnt look like the NW mountain island
>>344759338
It's the same island, maybe it looks different cause of textures or the beach he took the screenshot from?
>>344759338
From the life pod it's somewhere to the right of the Aurora. You can see the thrusters of the Aurora when you're on the island
>>344758968
Oh okay, i'm still not sure I want to start up the game again though, I have to play with console commands on because i'm so afraid of the ocean. btw the last time I played was before the July update, did it add anything good?
OP here, found a little piece of land next to an underwater mountain range, on the way back to the shallows from the floating island. This will be my base, it's around 200m deep.
Can anybody guide me where the damn entrance is to the active lava zone?
>>344759658
Craft a compass.
Go south-west from around the pod until you reach the Grand Reef zone. It's beyong the Blod Kelp zone and it's easily recognizable as it's full of thoses balloons plants held in place by nets. I recommend going south-west until you reach the edge of the map, then turns around. You're looking for a big caverns full of thoses balloon plants, jellyrays, and most importantly crabsquids. As far as I know crabsquids are only found there.
Once you're in this cave, aim to go as deep as you can within it, there's no particular chokepoint you need to find yet. Once you're sub is around 500-550 meters deep, you're most likely in the right zone. Just go around in circle and look at the walls, the entrance to the lava zone is a big vertical rift from which you can see the red lava.
There's probably others entrance but it's the one I found and the one I typically use.
>>344759545
Beds were added and are a god send if you are too spooked to deep sea dive at night like me. The most notable feature about the July patch is the exosuit and some story stuff. I personally have not crafted the Exo yet.
>>344759991
Thanks a bunch, that's gonna save me so much time
>>344758186
Imagine if you were a human and it sucked your finger into there
>>344760172
You would be lucky if it didnt take your arm, let alone your finger
>>344756884
I just got this game from the sale, been interested in it for ages but this mother fucker!!!
It's genuinely distressing when you hear it's calls in the deep. I'm not the biggest fan of deep dark water but this just makes it worse!
Love the rest of the game though
Guys whats the max depth for a base ?
Is there even one ?
>>344759991
Think I found an entrance around the lost river place
>>344760964
bout 3 50
>>344760964
No.
Just build reinforcements
>>344756884
>>344759338
Head straight SW from the lifepod and you'll run into it.
>>344760004
>Beds were added and are a god send if you are too spooked to deep sea dive at night like me.
but they didn't add the sleep feature YET right?
>>344760172
>Imagine if you were a human
>>344756086
>Where should I make my first serious base?
I made mine on a ~15 meter deep area directly across the kelp forest in the opposite direction of the aurora in relation to the escape pod.
Having seen the map it's roughly in the center of the map and I never felt like it was too far away from where I needed to go
>>344758719
more deep sea divan and more alien creatures
As of right now there's not all that much to explore down there, and the map seems to only stretch down to at most like 800 meters.
The cyclops can withstand pressure up to 1500m, I want to be able to go down that far somewhere that isn't just off the side of the map
Maybe finding other survivors and managing a colony would be fun, but that would be something that would require a lot of work
>>344759613
Where I'm building my base.
Here is where my base is built
>>344764998
The two buildings you see down there are the power rooms with one organic power generator and one nuclear.
>>344765101
Where the fuck do you find the blueprints for nuclear generator? I have a bunch of Uranite, but the only power options I've found are the Biofuel, Solar Panel, and the range extender.
>>344764998
The corridors you see in that picture leads up to the surface to the building in pic related. That's where i have storage, fabricators, water filtration, power charger and so on.
>>344765270
Go and look below the island that is behind the Aurora.
Been putting off playing this until the full ver comes out, but at this rate I'm gonna have to give in
>>344765337
As well as outside the building i grow plants for food
>>344765424
Here's how it looks like inside. To the right, not pictured i have two large corridors as well as a plant and inside the corridor i'm standing in leading to inside the building i have the signal device, as well as a medkit device. The corridor in the middle leads to the subsurface buildings.
>>344762058
it should say seamoth instead of girlfriend
>>344762058
attend her funeral
>>344765530
And then below water in front of my buildings and above the seamoth moonpool i have my Cyclops.
>>344765410
There will be a big update soon apparently introducing the story elements, some larger creatures and mroe.
>>344765101
Oh, yeah. The two buildings in the middle there are my normal fish tank and then on the right of it i have the tank for the large creatures you use eggs to grow. Unfortunately i killed all my small fish when i electrocuted them accidentally with my seamoth. So pic related exists no more.
