Subnautica thread
I'm having a hard time playing this game, all the sounds and shit just scares the piss out of me, and I've barely gone away from the escape pod. I have a signal for another heat signature but its too low for me to reach without my depth meter turning red, what do?
>>342758934
I'm the same man
I've been diving irl and it's fine but the moment I start going deep and hear a noise I absolutely shit myself
>>342759824
I'm having a hard time just diving in general, fucking stalkers always trying to fuck my shit up, one even followed me all the way back to the escape pod. Broke my knife killing it, then some space manitees took a poison shit on it
Worth the £9 it costs in the sale? Is there much content?
>>342760535
It's a great time sink, but there's no goal yet.
All you can do is dive really deep and build a fucking awesome base.
How much shit can actually kill you?
My only problem with the game is that it doesn't really give you any indication as to what things do or are.
I must've wasted alot of time trying to figure out what things do/are. People will argue that's the point but I disagree.
The dive reel? I thought what most people thought; You attatch it somewhere then swim down and then it reels you back up.
Nope it's literally just a line to tell you where you've been.
Those lockers scarttered everywhere? I thought you'd need to cut those open with.. the cutting tool.
Nope you just have to scan them. The cutting tool isn't really used.
Nothing is indicated you could do stuff like pull/push things. which seems like it'd be a basic function in a water based game. but you need an item you unlock by scanning those lockers.
Other than small things like that it's pretty great swimming around keeping yourself going with food/water and batteries
>>342761116
A lot of it.
How do you place the alien containment thing? I want to breed food/air fish.
It won't let me place it, it just stays red.
>>342761863
You got to build a room for it, then you can build it
>>342761863
Needs to inside the general purpose room.
Why the fuck do my solar panels keep going missing?
I can't afford to keep replacing them when they suddenly just vanish.
>>342761116
Most small creatures cannot, as they're there for food and water. Mesmer, Crash, Biters and the suckers can.
The larger ones can, except the Reefback.
>>342761863
>>342762061
>>342762084
*Empty All Purpose room
Also needs a Hatch to get in and out of it.
>>342758934
Just leaving this here
>>342762682
That's weird, never happened to me. Where are you putting them?
>>342758934
I played this game for a few hours but got sick of having to keep going up to the surface to breath, do you eventually get some decent scuba gear? trying to connect air pipes was a fucking chore. Also, not enough storage space.
>>342763161
On the edge of the foundations
>>342763156
Thank you anon for helping me drop this game.
>>342763364
Have you tried putting them elsewhere to see if they also disappear? They can be placed pretty much everywhere
>>342763156
/pol/ is leaking again.
>>342763345
There's a rebreather that counters depths causing Oxygen to be used faster and there's a vehicle called a Seamoth. Build a base for more storage (Cabinets can be built inside any base you make)
>>342763156
That seems like a whole lot of self-indulgent wankery. Like, really contemptable, self-indulgent twaddle.
"I care so much about sandy-hook that my undersea fantasy game can't have guns, which won't work too well anyway as it is under fucking water. Aren't I a caring individual, don't you want to buy my game and fuck me?"
Really fucking contemptable, I'm glad I only played a pirate version.
Anyway, you can still stab fish, and school kids get stabbed all the fucking time. Every. Cunting. Day.
Cunt.
>>342763696
>>342763364
I always line the top of my connecting tunnels on my base with Solar Panels.
>>342758934
why did they do this
>>342763805
How is that /pol/?
>>342763156
won't stop me from playing the game, but my inner /k/ feels nothing but hatred towards the fact that neat underwater guns will never be added.
at least the electric point defense thing on the seamoth is pretty cool.
>>342758934
We were promised massive sea monsters but honestly they seem kind of small.
Is it just me? I expected one that was really REALLY big.
>>342760073
Stalkers, Sandsharks and Bonesharks can all be defeated by swimming past them as they try to get you and eventually they get sick of it and swim away.
>>342763156
Every. Single. Day. My. Ass. Gets. Itchy
>>342763918
I lost interrest anyway. There seems to be a real overabundance of unfinished explore-and-craft-shit games in the world today.
Early access games can go and take a massive flying fuck at a rolling donut.
>>342764315
go for a swim around the back end of the aurora
>>342764056
Dragon leviathan =\= sea emporer.
>Trusting these devs after they fucked up Natural Selection 2
>>342764634
People aren't impressed by Reapers, they want things bigger than the biggest Reefback you find above the Crimson grass biome.
The Sea Emperor so far is the largest in development creature though.
>>342760073
You can temporarily tame stalkers
Hold a peeper in your hand and they will eat it when they charge you, they wont attack you for awhile
you can also just haul a couple strap metals, throw them out when the stalker swims by and it will be too easy collecting those to bother you.
>>342758934
Anyone got a decent map?
The ones from just googling it are shit.
>>342764893
I spent a while hovering around Stalkers to get their teeth. Damned Observatories take advanced glass.
>>342764937
>map
>of a randomly generated game
>>342764720
But I mean they're clearly the same drawing redone
>>342763156
Damn shame, I'd love a harpoon gun to go full Ahab with.
>>342764892
It's too bad it looks like something out of Spore
>>342765102
That's the lore though, Sea Dragon and Emperor are meant to be of the same family.
>can stab fish to death
>can grab them with a grav gun and fling them at rocks to turn them into a fine red mist
>can take live fish and throw them into a bioreactors so they slowly rots while you draw energy from their life essense
>but you cant spear gun a fish
>>342765082
I know exploration is so bland that you'd mistake it for random generated noise but it really isn't. Swim SW of the crashed ship and you'll find the island if you want to see for yourself.
>>342765519
Don't you know that guns are FOR KILLING PEOPLE!? There isn't a single instance in history where they were used to quickly and ethically end the life of a non-human animal.
Is there anything on the other side of the space ship?
I'm assuming there's no way to get inside.
>>342765640
That's out of date, lacking the second Blood Kelp and the lost river tunnels.
>>342765692
>in an era with replicators that need blueprints
>on a science mission
why would they have a spear gun blueprint?
>>342765758
You can get inside after it blows up.
The front and left side have entrances.
>>342765758
You can get in to one room and patch it up to stop the radiation leaks
>>342758934
Stop being a faggot and get on with it, you fucking sissy it's just a game lmao
>>342763156
I just want a fucking harpoon gun devs, don't do this to me.
>>342765804
Yeah but it does demonstrate there is a map
>>342765878
Not only that, the story suggests that humans haven't killed their food in hundreds of years. That said, it's a fucking blueprint, and they already had plans in place for crash-landings on ocean based worlds. Why wouldn't you provide a simple tool for the survival of your abandoned crew?
>>342765878
same reason they have a knife blueprint
its a useful tool
>>342764026
I find it reprehensible that the average American is not bothered by the fact that their children get shot the fuck up literally every single day. Looking only at the statistics, you couldn't even tell it was a first world country.
How do I breed fish? Do they all need their own separate tanks?
Do they need plants? Can I put different plants in together?
Will my alien egg hatch into something bad and eat my fish?
>>342765519
>can hand feed them to other fish
>cook them with lasers or break them down to their material parts
>can ram them to death with the submarines
>ZOMG why do you violent "gamers" want to defend yourself from dangerous and unrealistically aggressive fish so much!? This game is about peaceful scientific exploration!
>>342765640
the areas still have some random generation to them.
The terrain of each biome is different when you start a new file
>>342766406
The large aquariums allow fish to breed provided there are two of the same in there. You can multiple breeds in one tank and they will breed, but there's a maximum amount that can be kept in an Aquarium. You can build another multipurpose room ontop of another and extend the size of the Aquarium into there. You can place a ladder on a side of the MP room to access it so you can build the Aquarium above the other.
>>342766406
two of the same species, no
no, yes
yes it will hatch, no it will not eat anything
>>342766550
I'm pretty sure they sometimes tweak the terrain in patches but otherwise it's the same.
>>342766371
You're full of shit, if even a single kid gets shot in America, the whole world hears about it everywhere for weeks.
Is it just my imagination, or does your swim speed slow to a fucking halt when you're hungry/thirsty?
That is literally fucking retarded.
>>342767036
Your speed is reduced when holding a tool in hand, when you're hungry and when carrying lots of items.
>>342767036
>being on the verge of starving to death/dehydration impairs your physical ability
You know what else is bullshit? you blackout when you run out of oxygen
fucking retarded unrealistic bullshit game mechanics
>>342766191
knives are used for all sorts of work, spear guns are just for killing and this is a star-trek like world where you don't need to kill food
>>342758934
I bet you cried from a video game plot before too lmao
>>342767485
you obviously do though seeing as my diver needs to kill and eat 3 whole fish every fucking hour
>>342767485
What do you think happens to the fish you catch?
WE'VE SPRUNG A LEAK, CAPTAIN!
>>342761165
The laser cutter is used for large pieces of the Aurora laying around. They contain loot and can only be accesses by the laser cutter.
>>342767789
Maybe for opening a few doors that are locked, but they only really hold a few things like benches or the picture frame that you scan once.
>>342767772

>>342758934
Was scary till I realized that most of the actual threats in this game are quarantined to very specific zones. They need some type of random element that will put the fear back into you. Like maybe some predator that is active at night or something
>>342765178
Agreed.
They need to drop the human-like aspects of their giant leviathans.
The reason why people shit themselves of the thought of deepsea giant creatures is because it is as far from human understanding you can get.
Give me leviathan krakens, crustaceans etc., not fucking giant mermen dragons with human features.
whats the ideal place to make your first base?
>>342769859
But that would be hard to make!
>>342769931
I build mine on the edge of the Crimson Plains not far from the spawn location.
>>342769931
I'd like to say one of the dune areas, or whatever the low sandy areas with all the red seagrass are called.

>>342769859The reason they have human features is because they are bio-engineered humans
>>342770076
>>342770084
on top of one spires, that way you have plenty of room for a moonpool too
tfw thought it was a comfy diving and base building game
>It's actually about the horrors of the deep
I'm refunding
>>342770096Figured that much due to the "precursors" and that they could control them etc.
Still though, the only difference between the dragon and emperor is the face and arm features. Its just lazy.
This game is something special. I'm terrfied of deep ocean, but continue to play. I set up this base because my pod floated away. I want to progress and hopefully become self sufficient, but I'm terrified to get dick deep. Friends have told me to go to the island, but I'm terrified of the Leviathian and possibly worse. What should I do next?
Seabase dock for the Cyclops when?
Is there is any online component in that game? I heard it was in plans, but they added it or what? I saw some updates on their website but never seen any gameplay with more than one player.
>>342770580
I hope you made a fabricator before your pod floated away
>>342770748
I believe they confirmed no multiplayer.
>>342770748
if ever it's likely to be a standalone sequel ala don't starve
>>342770358
Fucking agreed. When will we get cool, inhuman shit like pic related? Or something like the kraken, or anything that looks like it came from our actual deep sea with all that scary ass shit.
>>342771050
but charybdis was from shallow sea, was it not?
can't play it with my firends and they keep putting off multiplayer. Why should I get this then?
>>342771202
Yeah, it was just a whirlpool right on the coastline of sicily
>>342771202
She was, I think, but I wasn't making the assumption she came from deep sea. Maybe worded it wrong, but I was saying something deep-sea esque OR mythologically weird yet terrifying.
I like base-building games. But I don't want to play Subnautica early before it's almost finished so I won't get bored with it later.
Just played for an hour and I just took some shit up from the bottom and tried to stay alive, got spooked by some growling fish or something, 10/10
>>342771664
>The Forest
Good taste. I remember this one time a couple anons and I had a server we named The Forest: Autism Edition. Most fun I've ever had with this game. Would love to do it again.
>>342762975
Fuck those spineless ass holes, and the other mini threats as well.
>>342771664
I like how the forest starts off as a terrifying flee from enemies game but quickly turns into the absolute comfiest base builder
>>342772610
Just feel guilty.
Your son is out there getting fucked daily by the tribesmen and you're fucking about building treehouses and drinking piss.
hello subnautica friends. i hear lots of people asking for a map and i see there was a gif already posted i just wanted to drop by and leave the map i use myself. if you drop it in the screenshot folder of the player file in the subnautica directory you can even put it in your base like a picture!
>>342773014
Hated the little shit anyway
>>342764426
>ask for help with the game
>gets help, requires work
>eh, lost interest anyway
Lazy cunt
>>342772610
There's still not really many survival games that actually offer satisfying base building
When Fallout 4 is one of the better options for that aspect you know you're in trouble
>>342773149
Is there new stuff since update 1353? I kind of want to buy it.
where da story at
>>342773647
You've got to search for it, lad.
>>342773486
>>342773149
Nice, I like the detail in the first one.
Here's a complete guide for the game
>stay out of kelp
>collect ores and metal parts
>fishes for food and drink
>build 2 or 3 oxygen tanks
>build a small base near kelp and red grass
>scan&build stuff like the glider
>search for deeper areas with huge ship parts
>scan&build seamoth (take caution because monsters and oxygen)
>build a few batteries/power cells
>explore to about 225, scan everything you can
>you may loose a few seamoths
>find & build cyclops
>search for signal sources
>upgrade your stuff
>build about everything you can
>explore the aurora wreck
>you're done with the game, nothing else to come
too bad there's nothing interesting to do after you build the cyclops
>>342775059
That's still a lot of gameplay on its own.

It's ours for playing early access.
>>342764892
You might not be, but most people are terrified of Reapers.
>>342776962
Grow some fucking balls and stab the fucker to death with knife
>>342765640
Is there a YouTube video that just shows off each of the areas a bit and shows some of the cool/unique things that can be found?
>>342766371
>children get shot everyday
But they don't. A shooting within a few blocks of a school still counts, so when gang bangers in Chicago shoot each other up over turf several blocks from a school its a "school shooting"
>>342776962
I know your pain, after my first leviathan I couldn't play for a week.
>>342776962
My first encounter with the giant reefback got me, something killed me as I was trying to explore a cave as I was going away from the spinning giant.
Might've been the hanging poison glowing stingers.
>>342776872
I'm surprised there's not more fanart of the fish.
I'm intrigued by the exploration aspect but I hate crafting games.
I know it has a god mode like Minecraft and a pretty hefty list of console commands, but I feel like true invincibility would rob the game of its tension.
Is there a mode or a set of options or cheats that I can use to make it so I have all the tools/skills/abilities I need to see the world, and all I have to do is manage my HP (and Oxygen would be okay as long as the boat has infinite oxygen or the supply is really large or something)?
Or is this like Vanilla Minecraft where it's either "unlimited power aqua base lego kit" or "explore the ocean? Not without mining ore for the next 3 hours to craft a flashlight battery you're not"...?
>>342777809
There is a mode that is just HP and Oxygen, no hunger. Still can build a base and gather materials.
>>342766371
>their children
Nig teens who look like they are 30 years olf are not "our children". When blacks are excluded from statistics, the amount of gun deaths is infinitesimal considering the USA has the 3rd largest population on Earth.
>>342778047
Yeah, but I don't want to build. I wouldn't even mind hunger/thirst too much if not for the resource farming it implied.
Do I HAVE to build? Will I be effectively constrained to the starting puddle if I don't build intermediary checkpoint bases and craft a shitload of tools to advance?
I just wanna swim around big and sometimes creepy ocean waters looking at and surviving encounters with sea creatures.
Anyone else experiencing memory leaks/spikes and frame rate dropping when going to the surface and quickly descending?
>>342778509
You'd probably have to build one base at least.
Just enough for a Moonpool to make the upgrade allowing for deeper diving. Actually, the moonpool isn't necessary, you find the upgrade in the big ship and then you just need to find the fragments for the upgrade station.
>>342778509
Yeah, you kinda need to build a bit of a base to be able to build a sub to go really deep, or you could play in creative where you can mostly skip the base building and just explore.
>>342763156
Aren't these the same faggpts who made this?
>>342778717
...is there a cheat code or console command to give me that shit?
Fuck I hate that sort of gameplay so much; everything else about the game is so interesting to me but I literally can't be bothered with it if I have to spend even 20 minutes looking for equipment-shaped keys to progress-shaped holes.
>>342778948
Why not play that Wii game about diving then?
>>342778948
Should be, you can spawn in a Seamoth with commands.
>>342769706
FUCK
>>342779082
Does it have big-ass sea kraken emperors and whatnot?
>>342779089
I take it that's a suit or submarine? Right on, that might work then.

>Does it have big-ass sea kraken emperors and whatnot?No idea, sorry.

>>342775059
Who the hell waits to go to the Aurora after geting the Cyclops? Usually I don't even have a base before I go there.
>Flippers and tank

>>342771050
i remember this mini-series
this and scylla in the tunnel
gave me nightmares for weeks
>>342779857
I get the flippers, Knife and basing tools, then make a small base to store resources/food in. Then I go for the Seamoth parts and then straight for the Aurora/Moonpool Fragments/Seamoth Upgrades.
>>342779825

>>342780617
Yeah, the one I posted was art from Percy Jackson or something I guess
This one's from that series though. Holy shit I do agree, Scylla was freaky as fuck.
Is there some sort of bug that causes Crashes not to spawn? I've looked all over the caves in the shallows, and haven't seen a single Crash Plant.
>>342781120
Not to my knowledge, I've always had Crash in my caves.
>>342761165
That stuff should get better over time, they're still adding story and progression and it's already a lot more fluid than it used to be.
Also the data entries are your friend for in-depth info and will only keep being expanded.
Sometimes I'll do a rp run where I get the scanner like first and identify things and look at the data before I interact with them because it's fucking alien shit.
>The dive reel? I thought what most people thought; You attatch it somewhere then swim down and then it reels you back up. Nope it's literally just a line to tell you where you've been.
I thought the same at first and haven't used it since though some find it useful for confusing caves, I still hope they might offer something like what we expected as an upgrade.
The "lockers" are placeholders for fragments that will be replaced by damaged versions of the items/tech, some already have been like the cyclops and seamoth fragments and the other models are mostly done and just not implemented yet.
>>342766040
Propulsion/repulsion guns.
>>342766550
Used to be but they're moving away from that and terraforming.
>>342769754
The stalkers actually stray further at night and it's easy to pull one into the safe shallows, the bone sharks are also attracted to your lights.
What the fuck is up with the exploding red fish? Why does their base have blast powder in it sometimes? I've only got 2 out of like 20 fish.
>>342781646
You rarely need more than one Crash Powder.
>>342781646
They've been on-and-off buggy.

>>342783364
an eyeeye I think
It was literally just a big eye with one big interconnected blue glowing fin
>>342763156
Wow! I disagree with them on ONE issue out of millions. I wont buy their great game because im a whiny cunt!
>>342784039
Eyeeye are green with one big eye facing forward.
Peepers are Blue with Eyes on both sides.
There's a Spadefish with one eye pointing upward.
>seeing a leviathan squatting around my base after i was hinted by it and had to take refuge
>>342784417
Any other good survival games other than Subnautica?
Just bought The Long Dark and it pretty comfy and looks great, but it's a shame that you can't actually build your own base.
>>342763156
yeah, theyre faggy libtads. the game is still worth it, but just sayin - might wanna find a torrent for that shit
