How's exploring the deep going lads? Aren't the depths of the ocean serene and relaxing?
>Reminder that you are insignificant and helpless.
>comfy
>the ocean
Absolute madman.
Sure, you go down there, I'll stay up here where they can't get me.
>>342687078
When did angled HUD elements become a meme?
>>342685406
Whats that top thing called
>>342685623
You don't find being drenched in darkness, under mountains of water, blind to all save three feet ahead, and probed by the echoes of distant beasts to be calming?
>>342687226
Sea Emperor.
>>342687226
Sea Emperor Leviathan
>>342687078
But moonpools are the radest shit ever. Nothing beats looking at a hole in the floor knowing that anything could be under that bright opaque pool.
>>342687216
You're putting too much thought into it.
Hope the next update delivers on Sea Dragon, Lava Zone, Exosuit and Lost River stuff
>Early access
So, it's a survival game. Underwater survival game. The graphics look impressive.
So all of the game is just the ocean? No dry land? Is there a story mode? Planned multiplayer?
The fact that it's early access makes me cautious, though.
>>342687873
There's two tinies island, a story (though for now it's not much), no multiplayer planned for release
>>342687873
There's dry land. A large mountain and a floating Island, as well as some of the crashed ship.
If you're not keen on early access then don't stress on it.
There's meant to be story, the large creatures shown are relevant to finding more of the story. It is a sandbox though. No idea on Multiplayer, but it'd be good if there was.
>>342687873
Dry land yes
Story mode pending
Multiplayer is confirmed for no
"We won't have guns in our game because Sandy Hook was saad :''''("
-Cucknautica devs
I can't play because there's no mouse on the main menu right now in experimental mode
fix your shit UWE
>>342688302
>Sandy Hook
the school shooting?
what does it have to do with this?
>>342688431
The devs claim that, after the shooting, they decided that there won't be guns in their game
>>342688431
one of the devs is anti-gun and he cited sandy hook as a reason for wanting to make a vidya without guns
the type of people who say "cuck" unironically also care deeply about this for some fucking reason
>>342688346
I cant play because theres pop in for textures 5 feet away

>>342688431
>expecting to be given anything more than a stun weapons and a knife to keep you company in the hellish alien oceans
>>342688550
>>342688790
what
not even futuristic fantasy laser guns are bad? So you can't kill giant fish things in this game?
>>342685309
If the game was exploration and not exploration SURVIVAL, I'd get it in a heart beat. I love looking and interacting with neat shit, but not while trying to desperately survive.
>>342689159
*even
>>342689159
no you can't. it's not a kill hunt and conquer simulator it's a survival don't get fuckind eaten starve or dehydrate simulator
pic related
>>342689193
there's a mode without hunger/thirst. or you could use the debug menu/commands to give yourself everything
normally i'd frown on this but it's so damn pretty i don't blame you.
>>342685309
Can't wait to play again but did they finally fix the performance? The machinery update was barely dragging itself even on low for me.
>>342689193
There's a creative mode just for that
I wish they'd come up with more cooler designs than
>big fish 1
>bigger fish 2
>biggest fish 3
I want weird tentacles monsters and shit like that octopus with elbows. Maybe a giant sea spider.
>>342689262
But that part is super easy since you have an infinite amount of fish that restore hunger and water. That's from the second you leave your little pod, once you build a base it's even easier.
>>342687873
It's mostly ocean, but it's not procedurally generated, so the locations are more memorable and intricate.
>>342689821
I mean if you only plan on being in the first area then sure
And fish dont respawn
>>342689970
They do now, grandpa
>>342689970
They do now.
>>342689832
Surely it becomes procedurally generated if you go out far enough.
I'd buy Subnautica if it weren't for the fact that the dev is a raging faggot.
>>342690081
The game is better because of a lack of guns.
>>342690048
>>342690047
well fug
where the fuck have my airsack fish been
>>342690063
Nope, just vast nothingness and behemoth predators.
>>342688790
>NOT crafting more than a fucking knife and a stun gun on a hellish alien ocean planet
It's like you WANT to be devoured.
>>342690081
Fuck off
>>342690081
he makes a fair point though in that not every solution has to be brute, even if it makes sense
>>342690081
Okay, the fact that it has no destructive guns should add some kind of interesting survival gameplay.
But that is a retarded reason
>>342689660
There's those walkers in the Hidden River.
Is there anywhere in the playable zone that is pitch black darkness? What's the deepest biome?
>>342690081
Let us come up with a creative solution that involves no killing to stop ISIS. That will truly work. Let us blame guns instead of taking action against mental illnesses. That will solve the problem. While we're at it, why don't we ban knives too. Wrenches can kill people, let's ban those too. Hell, glass can kill people, let's ban glass.
>>342690081
I'm not going to buy this shit unless there's some guns on it, either by official release or mods.
>>342689262
Stop lying. All fish can be killed.
>>342690440
To clarify my post. I'm fine with the game having no guns. They wouldn't really do much to these giant creatures anyways, and I e joy the game. I just think his argument is dumb.
>>342690081
Agreed. The stasis rifle and repulsion gun are good for small stuff, but what the fuck to we have to fight a monster thats almost 3 times the length of the cyclops? Its already confirmed to be agressive so what the fuck?
>>342690426
The void, outside the normal map area. Large creatures lurk these areas, to keep fearful stragglers. There's biomes a kilometer down and further.
>>342690081
desu I care less about the noguns and more about the fuccboi reason behind it
>>342690440
remember anon: cops stop spree shootings by shooting the madman (or the madman shooting themself) 9 times out of 10
Will I enjoy this game without VR?
>>342685623
it is comfy once you manage to get set up
>>342687216
it's supposed to look like it's projected onto or built into the helmet
>>342690564
No shit, but who cares what his leftist click bait argument is? The real reason he didn't add guns is because it takes away from the survival horror aspect. That's it.
Honestly I don't really think that guns should be in the game but it's pretty stupid to make a game about exploring an alien ocean and not having a hand held harpoon/harpoon gun. It makes way more sense for catching fish instead of grabbing them with your hands and they could be used to get stalkers and bonesharks to fuck off
>IT'S YET ANOTHER OBVIOUS HUGH JEREMY SHILLING THREAD
>Mods are doing nothing
Goddamn I'm going to laugh at you fuckers when he completely destroys your game just like NS2
Go fuck yourself Hughj
Please tell me reapers are docile in creative.
>>342690661
Exactly. He should have said that instead of trying to make the whole world a better place with a fucking video game about the ocean.
>>342690752
i bought it on sale and got my money's worth out of it
i just wanted a base building game
About the no guns thing. So far the games been omay without them. But once the Sea Emperor Leviathans are implemented, how would we fight them? Theyre big enough to eat the Seamoth with you in it like a fucking ham sandwich
Thanks for buying my game you stupid cunts, can't wait to absolutely destroy it over the next couple of months
>>342690598
>Large creatures lurk these areas, to keep fearful stragglers
Yeah I'll need source on that, a quick search gave me nothing.
>>342690960
Emperors are passive.
>>342691043
Reefback and Reapers are there.
>>342690440
yeah, because a military intervention in the Fertile Crescent worked out so well for America the last two times

Holy shit the terror

>you go so deep you end up on the 13th floor
>>342691165
Each time, we left before the mission was done. Bush said, if we leave before the mission is done, it will happen again. It happened again. By your idea, we should just let these radicals go around murdering Christians and other groups of Muslims because "I-if we interfere, bad things with happen!" Well, they're only getting worse because we don't have enough intervention. Even the Pope wants intervention. Don't respond or talk to me ever again. It's time for big sea monsters.
>>342691043
He's bullshitting you, but apparently it's planned that going out of the game area will spawn leviathans around you.
It's somewhere in the Subnautica forum
>>342691150
>Reefback
passive
>reapers
not that big or that scary, just looks like a water dragon
>>342690440
The difference is, those everyday objects have a primary purpose. Most guns' primary function is killing people.
>>342691441
For some people the reef back is a huge NOPE
>another nightly subnautica thread posted by the dev
>still no htc vive support because the dev took a exclusive deal with oculus
>mfw I have a vive and want to play this game but the dev is a huge fuckhead
>>342690752
Who the fuck is Hugh Jeremy and why should I care?
>>342691440
Who gives a shit though? The most "scary" thing this game has to offer is a creature whose only interesting attribute is that it's huge. Even the abortion that's Guild Wars 2 managed to get a scarier looking sea dragon.
>>342691501
Their primary purpose is food/animal related products. Guns were not invented just to kill people.
>>342691734
You're right AR15s and auto-shotguns were totally designed with hunting in mind.
>>342690081
I agree with him, stay mad political nutjob.
>>342691610
>he bought into the VR meme
>>342691441
Thus: Fearful stragglers.
You aren't one. There are people afraid of the Reefback.
>>342692092
Not him but that nigga is retarded, the primary function of a firearm is to shoot at whatever you shoot it at. Also most guns don't kill people, they normally only do that in the hands of Democrats :).
>>342685309
>no multiplayer
what's the point?
>>342691610
You can emulate oculus on the vive....
>>342692201
I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to have guns, but to deny that they're somehow not designed to kill people is just lying to yourself.
>>342692207
single player
>>342691248
Yup this shit right here is what im talking about
>>342692207
>implying you have friends to play with anyway
There is a thing called single player.
>>342691107
So are those big ass electric eel things. Still got ass raped by them
>>342692092
I didn't mean those guns. But auto-shotguns were invented for sieges, not really killing people.
AR-15's however are kind of in a weird spot. They are used for hunting, but also for killing people.
When I made that post, I meant guns being invented, not specific models down the line.
But here's the thing, people make certain knives with the sole purpose of killing, doesn't mean they're not mainly supposed to be tools.
>>342692442
Man, fuck those eels. Koosh zone would be my favorite biome if not for those fuckers. Can't throw a rock without hitting one, and with the pop-in they didn't appear until they were right in front of my sub.
>>342692175
But I AM one, my biggest fear is being stranded in an ocean planet, alone with huge creatures. But the creatures on subnautica look so goofy they don't scare me
>>342685406
>repeated creature designs
>forced features that make no sense
Suddenly glad I didn't buy this game.
>>342694106
sure? you're already past the 2 week refund period so you might as well
>>342694331
I feel the need to reiterate this. Those two giant creatures? Horrible and lazy design work.
They're less "alien sea monster" and more "there are elves and fairies in this game".
reefbacks are fucking radical
>>342694625
What's wrong with them? Apart from the repeated body shape, individually they're fine
>>342695059
The humanoid torso shape and design elements make them seem more at home as things in a fantasy game. They look like the products of someone designing spins on the idea of the mythological Kraken.
You can do anything with sea creatures, and they're going with this random thing I pulled off of DeviantArt.
>>342695560
Seems like a complain you would say no matter what they would've chose
>>342696195
Naw. If they designed something that seemed like an animal and not just a bunch of random nonsense parts slapped together in a generic mix, I'd be fine with it.
>>342688302
>we have to have this discussion in every fucking Subnautica thread
Go away
Frequent Subnautica threads are great, but I miss the frequent Starsector threads we used to have
>>342696331
You're trying extremely hard to complain.
>>342693863
Not to mention that they are fucking EVERYWHERE like the god damn bone sharks.
>>342696953
I'm not, though. The designs are shit.
I remember seeing this when it first came out, the description talked about terraforming and stuff like that a lot.
Is that idea completely thrown out now? Is it just a deep sea horror open world survival game? I thought it was supposed to be you turning the world into something more earth-like over time.
>>342696953
they're a giant fucking mermen instead of a spooky alien creature
whales don't have fucking muscular arms, and what would a 800 foot fish need with fucking arms
>>342687873
Multiplayer won't happen in that game, however it was originally supposed to be and the devs haven't totally given up.
What they want to do is finish Subnautica, and then they'll go the Don't Starve route and make a multiplayer version of the game.
>>342690454
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
>>342697223
Yeah, you might not like the designs, but you really come off as try-hard
>>342697689
i'm not trying hard to complain about this shitty design
it comes easy and naturally, like passing flatulence onto my keyboard
i mean, just look at this fucking model
>>342697509
They'll half-ass it like they did with Natural Selection 2.
>>342688302
Sucks that freedom exists, huh?
>>342697223
I actually 100% agree. Holy shit those arms on the dragon leviathan look stupid, and the colors on the reaper are too bright. What happened to scary ass shit like the classical Kraken, or Scylla and Charybdis, or any number of actual, deep-sea inspired horrendous creatures that go against the natural order of the word as we know it?
>>342690081
>no weapons
What about the gas torpedoes?
I'm so goddamn terrified all the time in this game
>>342691621
Holy shit
Say goodbye to your game you fucking clown
You deserve it
This game can be really pretty sometimes
They aren't being very adventurous with the creature designs. What about a gigantic hermit crab type creature that adopts the Aurora as it's shell, a Loch Ness monster looking thing or some sort of cuttlefish type deal? Maybe another intelligent species that comes along every once in a while to investigate the crash site? All this potential is being wasted on leviathans with arms.
>>342685309
I just bought it after pirating it first, man I hope it ends up being finished properly.
>>342688507
>>342688550
>>342688302
not quite, the actual quote was something more along the lines of, "sandy hook just happened, do we really need guns in every game? subnautica is my vote for not all games needing guns"
honestly though, why would you want guns in subnautica? you wouldn't be as scared of the deep if you could just fill any threat with bullets.
>>342690239
this.
>>342692092
AR-15s were not designed to kill humans, not anymore than any other gun. They're also not really for hunting, unless vermin. .223/5.56 isn't even legal to hunt large game with, cause the caliber is too small. The AR-15 is a sporting/competitive rifle first. And that's pretty much why it was designed the way it is, with being modular and highly customizable.
It's not a fucking full auto rifle.
>>342690574
Nigga, no gun in the fucking world can put a dent in that. What the fuck is the point of these creatures if you had access to weapons of mass destruction? At most the game should give a peashooter that can deal with sand sharks, but even then I'd be against it. Last thing you fucking want is for another game to go the way of Call of Cthulhu, because the devs decided to give you a fucking weapon that's capable of killing anything in a survival horror game.
Not going to lie, I really, REALLY want that teleporter-alien fish to show up.
Parallel/Teleportation to new locations seems cool.
Just started building my base. What are the essentials? So far I have 3 foundations, a central room, some hallways, 3 lockers for metals, flora, and crafted stuff, also power supplies and a fabricator.
I also have a vehicle builder + the supply core for the 2nd sub, though I don't even have all the blueprints for the first. I can't seem to find them.
Can I deconstruct stuff for full value at any time?
>>342699794
One hit killing it is not what Im asking for, you dense motherfucker. My complaint is that I have ZERO fighting chance against it when it can one shot me instantly by eating me in my sub like a turkey sandwich with extra mayo
>>342699961
Moon Pool. Then get the thing you use to mod/customize the Sea Moth. Will let you travel much deeper
>seamoth has no set exit point
>can throw you outside (inside?) the map
>>342700168
>he called his seamoth "seamoth"
sick imagination bro.
>>342699961
Bioreactor or Nuclear for power, water purifier, and fruit/veggie farm are a must if you plan to build a base anywhere that isn't the shallows.
>>342700094
Why the fuck would you have a fighting chance against a creature of that size? You were not aboard a fucking military vessel, why the fuck would the ship have blueprints of weapons capable of downing creatures with thicker skin than a fucking bomb shelter?
You seriously underestimate the fucking firepower required to down a creature of that size. This isn't a monster hunter game, survival includes running away.
>>342700326
Bioreactor is fucking worthless, chews through all the items in like a day.
Just throw down a bunch of solar panels, they're cheap to make anyway
>>342700164
>>342700326
Shit I don't have ANY of those things. I guess I ned to explore more.
>>342700405
Explore the inside of the ship wreck before you build any upgrades to your seamoth.
>>342700389
you're using the wrong fuel, get ampeel eggs and hatch them then put the babies in the bioreactor, shit runs for days.
http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Bioreactorthey are slow as fuck though
>>342700094
>Stasis rifle
>Electric defense system
>Torpedoes
You can handle them, your complain is retarded
>>342699961
>>342700326
Make a tank with 2 peeper to breed then you will never have to worry about food ever again.
Make an airsack tank too if you don't have the purifier yet.
>>342700389
My base had a bioreactor using the glowing manta fish as fuel, it never runs out, shame that it process the fuel very slowly though.
>>342700525
I started to look around in there, but I fell from the 2nd/3rd floor so I plan to head back later. It's so fucking obscenely far away that I need to get a battery for my seapull thing, plus a ton of food/water.
Do fish respawn? I see very few in the starter area, I built my base near the landing pod.
>>342700540
The fact that they require so much effort makes them worthless, solar panels if you have like 5 of them it's enough to keep a filtration system powered, and if you're making a deep sea base and need power you might as well go thermal
>>342700326
So then what the fuck do you suggest? Once implimented, it will make certain areas of the map too dangerous to even explore since it can one shot you from stupid ranges and you cant see shit in the depths they live in. And we both know shit thats aggressive will continue to attack you until either you die or you kill it. You could be mining shit and minding your own business, then you instantly die out of nowhere and lose your sub or exo, and everything you collected. That sounds utterly broken and stupid
>See this game
>Looks fucking cool
>No multiplayer
>Can't multiseat operate the ship with a friend
No
>>342700662
Fish respawn, also build/find the battery recharging station. Batteries are pretty easy to make either way.
>>342698185
He was overruled by the others devs that added them, and threw a fit
>>342700662
>Do fish respawn?
I think as of the latest update they do but I don't know how slow it is.
>>342700713
>effort
nigga just pick up some eggs, it's like a once an in-game week job, but yeah I do agree they aren't that useful but I usually build one just to keep the spotlights running at night.
>>342699961
You can deconstruct stuff for full value yes. But if you do it to a locker you wont keep whats IN the locker.
Made that mistake myself.
Otherwise the only real essentials are to keep your hull integrity up so your base doesn't flood. And to keep it powered day and night so you keep the lights/oxygen going.
Everything else is up to you really.
>>342700713
Solar panels don't work over night though.
Besides all you need is a aquarium with the right fish and you've got infinite power.
>>342691734
>Guns weren't invented to kill people
Yes they were. The first guns were explicitly for use against people in warfare. Pretending they were for hunting is ridiculous. Nobody was fucking up deer with flintlocks. Only when guns became more efficient and accurate did they start using them for hunting.
>>342700785
>having friends
get a load of this plean
>>342700731
Anon I don't think you've played the game
>>342701095
It's a pain in the ass.
Just build two thermal reactors and never think about energy ever again
>>342701342
You're not wrong. It's a more complicated alternative for sure.
>>342690081
I don't agree with his reason for it, but I don't mind the fact that there aren't guns.
Not every game needs to be a shooter.
Taking a trip to the lava castle. I'm sure it'll be fine

>>342690047
>>342690048
he is a pirate , he couldnt even know
>>342703346
I legitimately own it, but why are they not showing up anymore, do I need to patch it manually?
hell, even the stalkers I've killed haven't shown up again
>>342691217
it gave me ptsd, i cant play it anymore on vr.
>>342700168
Yes, but from experience the collision detection is only applied on the exterior of the map so you can get back inside if you accidentally go OOB.
It's also a bad idea to quit the game when you're on land, since it loads after gravity is applied to the player and will cause you again to go OOB.
>>342691610
they just got their hands on a vive devkit you mongoloid, they do not have an exclusive deal since you can buy it on oculus home and steam.
>>342703562
What the fuck have they done to him?
just checking in to say the shilling worked on me and this game is actuallyfun
>>342700168
the exit point , and the direction you are facing is always the direction and point where you enter it.
>>342700713
good luck with solar panels at 700 meters depth
>>342703867
That is wrong, considering I tested to see if it was consistent getting out of map. I'd enter, exit, rotate 180 degrees and re-enter and it slowly looped around
>>342696195
Not that anon, but fuck you. I'm also mega let down with the direction they seem to be going in.
I wouldn't mind another reaper (We're getting the ghost one iirc), and having multiple slightly similar beasts is okay.
I'm okay with them, but it's really disappointing. Look at all the crazy bullshit in the actual abyss. We get these dude who are intimidating to a point but I don't feel like they really drive the whole "Monstrous and alien" thing home.
They could if their animations improve dramatically but I don't know if we'll see that. Hopefully!
Also where is my bigger fish? These guys are 2small.
>>342703446
there is a possibility that your savegame is fucked. happens when they do some changes which cant update the savegame. cheating also fucks with yoursavegame, stuff like no stalker teeth spawning, no crash powder in crash plants, certain resources are just missing, fish disappear

>"Wahh the devs must have signed a deal to be exclusive and just want to be dicks to us righteous Vive owners, that's obviously how it is!"
If there's anything I hate more than VR and Oculus shills, it's Vive fanboys. Obnoxious as fuck if you're into VR right now. VR shouldn't be allowed for people with the mindsets of children, or for actual children.
>>342704194
you just said bio reactor is worthless and a waste of time.
its not pointless if you have no light or heat to work with.
>>342704297
there's actually a few games where people are spamming bad reviews because the devs are on oculus
Seems pretty childish to me
Like, I get you spent $800 or whatever to be an early adopter but that's how being an early adopter goes.

They did make a Sand-worm thing that was big enough to eat Reaper Leviathans but it apparently hit the upper limit of what their animators could do so they scrapped it. Sea Emperor is about the largest lifeform that you will find.

Yup. Sometimes I feel like it'd be a good idea to put some moderation on reviews. But let me tell you, it's even more stupid on the Gear VR review section.
>game requires that you be able to turn 360 degrees, whether standing or in a swivel chair
>review: 1 star
>reason: i dont have a spinny chair
Not an accurate quote per se, but that's basically what it was. And reviews as stupid as those get posted DAILY. In some cases, even half or more of reviews don't talk about the actual content of the game. I'm convinced the majority of the human population is just retarded.
>>342691417
The mission will never be done, unless you kill everyone. I think it's time to face the obvious, that the morons in the 90's who claimed "history ended" never got- good part of the world does not WANT liberal demoracy. No amount of interventions will change it. Even Japan, US pet project, would be considered a joke democracy if it was not so rich that no one will say it out loud. There will be no peace in the middle east by means of external intervention.

Yes, every fish damages the seamoth.
>>342711751
it's one of the easiest survival games I've played
So, I don't know jack shit about subnautica, but I like deep sea shit, so I'll ask:
How good is it at conveying size?
Does it do its best (with short underwater draw distance) to make it really difficult to get a clear view of an entire giant monster, preferring to give you glimpses?
Does the environment feel sufficiently large for an ocean setting?
I'm seeing something that looks a little bit akin to underwater Shadow of the Colossus here (only you just run from the colossi), where the world is big and the creatures are big and it's presented in a way deliberately designed to make you feel small and pitiful.
Is it that? Or are people just memeing about another survival crafting game because it has big fish in it?
>>342687216
>meme
calling everything a meme is the worst meme
>>342712138
yes to those three questions
>Hugh Jeremey's corporate shilling festivus is still up
Even Peter Molyneux is less of a fraud than this guy.
>>342712138
It's pretty good at showing off size. You go from small green shrimp to things that can fit your Seamoth in their mouth. That said those creatures aren't fully implemented yet. But they're wanting to go for big.
Also the environments you explore are large and deep. But again still in development so it might be disappointing for you right now.
>>342711961
Copper in limestones (aka most of the stones you find on the ground early game)
Silver in sandstones (typically found in caverns)
>>342704737
works as a usb dvd drive if you don't have an internal drive anymore.
>>342715387
Sandstone is plentiful in jungles (but it's annoying because you have to deal with stalkers) or blood kelp zones (sand sharks are amazingly less annoying than stalkers).
>>342716327
you can also find it in the red grass fields
>>342690440

Every goddamned Subnautica thread we have to endure you retards posting this shit. This isn't fucking Resident Evil or Call of Duty or Halo, the point is NOT to rampage around killing anything and everything.
There are already plenty of ways to defend yourself and your vehicles in the game, with more things on the way. Stop spamming this shit and stop acting like it's the end of the world because one fucking game doesn't let you go Rambo on some goddamned fish.
>>342685406
Are those top two shits actually in the game yet?
>>342717998
Not yet. The Sea Dragon's almost done, the Sea Emperor is still in development. They'll be in before it laumches since they're very important to the story.
>>342716738
That's the blood kelp zone, or what I always interpreted it to be.

>>342723696
The Sea Treaders will kick your face in if you get too close, and they hurt. Their poop also makes great fertilizer for your planters.
>>342720968
There are torpedoes, electric zappers, stasis rifles, propulsion/repulsion cannons, and the Exosuit meat-grinds everything, a mere gun is nothing.
>>342724004
The Propulsion/Repulsion Cannon is a spear gun, it grabs things and pulls them to you to collect and you can also send them flying away at the speed of sound. Upgraded it becomes a kinetic launcher that can even push things as big as Crabsquids around.
>>342719825
To be fair, it is probably the simplest solution to dealing with a giant sea monster. Occam's razor and all that.

>>342725343
Build a power source and it will make air automatically. If you have access to it, the Bioreactor is good. If not, Solar Panels and energy distributors until you unlock the Bioreactor.

The posters pretty obviously wouldn't have problems with it if it were a design choicewhich is pretty obviously fucking was. It's blatantly obvious they were just trying to appear smart. Fucking morons.because it's a good design choice. They're just talking about the fact that the devs said something fucking stupid in an attempt to tryhard.
>>342727689
Devss say stupid things, alert the presses. Only on 4chan will people constantly bring it up and scream about how the sky is falling.
>>342727963
But they're not really screaming are they. You have one person making bantz and another person saying that he doesn't wish to buy a game if the developers are the sort of people to try and do something like that. I wouldn't do it myself but the statement is reasonable and relevant to the discussion of the game. Don't be such a fucking baby.Remember kids: You're only allowed to talk about things online if you have positive things to say about it! Wouldn't want to hurt feelings. :^)
So will the Cute Fish only be aviable for EA Buyers or will it also be obtainable through other means later on that require actual work?

>>342728296
>I love putting words in people's mouths: the post
Go ahead and mention in, but it doesn't need to be mentioned every damn thread because it ultimately means nothing. It's not a SHMUP game where you can run around slaughtering all the animals for the lulz, there's already plenty of ways to defend yourself without needing any kind of gun.
>>342728610
Just play and discover for yourself. The game is best when it's surprising you. Leave the thread. It can get pretty dull when you're out of content. best not to spoil it for yourself.

>you play as a homosexual black guy

Only the spear gun is really applicable and I don't remember any of those being used in a school shooting, only spear fishing.
>>342685309
>comfy sub ride at night
>don't know where I am
>look up
>die from heart attack
>>342728954
If they don't work underwater, then why put them in? Also you already have a speargun-type tool, the Propulsion Cannon, which grabs things and can reel them in to be collected or fired away. You can do things like grab Crashes of the Gasopod's acid balls and shoot them at other creatures.
>>342729372
Oh I agree with you, putting guns in would be retarded but NOT having a spear gun when trying to survive off the ocean is equally retarded.
>>342728695
You're acting like I don't agree with that statement. I said up here >>342727689 that it was a good design decision. It makes the game more interesting. I would also argue that the people who made those posts would/do think so to but find the statement laughable (Because it is)in which case joking about it is a fucking givenor off-putting (Because it is)in which case it is relevant to the discussion.
By pretending that it wasn't a purely game-design decision the devs have opened themselves up to their shitty logic crumbling and people pointing out shit like >>342728954 . This is relevant to the discussion of the game. Of course people are going to talk about it. How offensive weaponry can be implemented in subnautica while still keeping the feel of the game is a much more interesting discussion than "I SAW A THING AND IT WAS SPOOKY" for the 50th time. Don't like it? Either ignore it, join in or fuck off.
While we're on the topic of repeating topics: I sure hope you're also getting grumpy at discussions of size and the new creatures that are going to be showing up. We haven't had new info on that in a while and it also shows up every thread. Or are you just getting autismal about people talking about things you don't like friendo? :^^)
>>342729557
Speargun ain't gonna do shit to things like the Boneshark, Reaper, or Sea Dragon. And imagine how many spears you'd need for anything larger than a Stalker, you don't have infinite ammo here.
>>342729924
I agree & scarce ammo would be the main drawback but spear guns are also useful for "tagging" large creatures for tracking purposes.
>>342730120
Oh shit, now THAT would be awesome.
>tag a Reaper Leviathan so you can always keep tabs on its location
>tag a Sea Treader so you can find it to collect the mineral nodes it spawns and its poop for fertilizer whenever you need to

That's literally what the propulsion/repulsion guns are for.
"muh guns!" shitposters are the worst.
A floating locker, what I always wanted.
Ok, so I love this game, but I have a serious beef. When I first installed it, months ago, it ran like a dream, drawing terrain, creatures and even little gribble fish and sea grass from a solid, respectable distance.
Ever since the patch before the power nap patch, the game has loaded chunks slower than i take shits. Like, seams are open in all the terrain until I am close enough to kiss it, terrain changes shape as I get to it making my seamoth get the shit kicked out of it, kooshes disappear at like 40 meters... Seriously killing my immersion...
Then the other day I was playing when A FUCKING REAPER LOADED IN IN FRONT OF ME. So, now I'm a bit salty. My machine runs other games without much issue, always ran subnautica fine until recently... I'm looking for any kind of tips to get rid of some of this shit. I ain't interested in sneaking up on invisible fucking seamonsters.
>>342737795
There was always pop-in with reapers.
Supposedly a lot of those sorts of issues will be fixed when they remove terraforming.

>>342689262

the Wrecks are fucked up.too bad you wont find shit inside most of the time
>>342737795
With everything they've added and changed, things have gotten a bit messy. Most of it is the terraforming, which is why they're removing it. By the time it comes out it should be stable and faster again.
>>342738527
They're working on it, a lot of blueprints and story data will be in the wrecks.
>>342738190
I remember finding this place, but there was no way I could get in because of the jellyfish, so I decided to go back to the base to make that propulsion cannon and see if that worked to move them around.
I could never find that place again.
>>342738665
Pretty sure they're in the process of moving ALL fragments into the wrecks/abandoned bases/ escape pods.
Also they're gonna replace the placeholder boxes with damaged versions of the item/machine for all fragments so it'll be a lot easier to tell them apart. I think the models are pretty much done and they just need to be put in but it's probably going along with moving them to the final locations.
>>342739064
A lot of the components and items have been updated from boxes to their models already, so they're coming along nicely. I think they also might have parts and stuff scattered in the world at large, too, but not nearly as thickly as it is right now.
>find the bed, table, chair, and trash can
