too scared to dive deep
haven't really gone much further than the central starting area since all I have is my shitty seaglide to get me back up for air fast enough.
>oculus wont restock till august
>>342846218
After everything why would you support Oculus
>>342846109
Make a CO2 rebreather and keep an extra tank in your inventory
THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO
>>342846329
You sound like my friend who laughed when I got blu-ray over HD-DVD
>>342846109
Do it anon.
It's nice down there. I recommend to build a base, a moonpool and finally a Seamoth to not have to worry about trivial things such as oxygen.
Threadly reminder
>>342846406
What's this?
>>342846109
I got a refund on this game yesterday. It's way too spooky for me and fuck you to those that said it was a comfy game.
>>342846543
>one where we are not at the top of the food chain
What the fuck, he wants us to be a non dominant species?
>>342846543
M8 it's stupid logic but is the game enjoyable or not?
how do i start fabricating underwater moon base parts
>>342847252
Use the fabricator in the pod to build a constructor, or whatever the fuck its called
>>342846437
Revive
>>342847252
You need a fabricator.
Then find a nice location and put some base. Then you can build rooms, hallways and moonpools.
Don't forget to have an energy source like solar panels.
>>342846543
>school shootings every single day
do niggers count?
>>342847062
we're at the very bottom of everything when it comes to the ocean, you autist
tfw actually refunded it because of how scared I was
>>342846543
>America has 365.25 school shootings per year
FUCKING WEW LADS
>>342847625
Best location is near the descent to the first heat signature. Borders three useful biomes and there's plenty of space to park the cyclops later
I like the base building in this but there's not that much to do there
What's the best survival game for basebuilding
>>342846543
So dumb dev made fun game?
> shootings everyday at school
What world does this guy live in?
>>342846543
He has a right to his opinion even if I disagree with it and as long as he does not infringe my rights I fail to see the problem.
It's part of American culture to have differing opinions.
>>342848176
It's a straight up lie there's been 188 since 2013.
>>342848234
Modded minecraft probably
>>342848042
??
we are causin extinction in hundreds of different species in the oceans
they live on OUR MERCY
humans fuckin rule this planet
>>342846109
Why does this game make my computer run so hot? my graphics card is louder than when I play warhammer total war. Does gold and silver ONLY spawn in dangerous areas? How do I make it so my base appears anywhere like the rescue pod? Can I delete the rescue pod?
>>342848845
When there's more than one of us and boats yes
>>342848176
>.25 of a school shooting
How?
>>342846543
When you cook a fish it game displays some vegan bullshit text. I knew the dev was a cuck from that alone.
>>342849036
a black person died
>>342849126
what text
Question:
where's the lab trash can?
Starboard or port side of the aurora?
I'm looking for it and can't seem to find it.
>>342848234
Pic related. It really lets your inner autist roam free and build beautiful factories.
Just bought this game, how do you recharge the flashlight?
Don't tell me I need to build another fucking battery
>>342848986
Idk sounds like a personal problem
No gold and silver can be found in some of the caves in the safe shallows. And kelp forests aren't really dangerous. Just swim forward past the stalkers a few times and they'll get pissed and leave.
No
No
>>342846543
I don't agree with his reasons but the game is better because it doesn't have guns
>>342848986
>Why does this game make my computer run so hot? my graphics card is louder than when I play warhammer total war.
Probably because the devs initially added terraforming but since that wasn't working out so well they took it out, but the terrain itself can still be modified, so it takes longer to charge and there's a load of pop-ups. Probably will be fixed in the next update.
>Does gold and silver ONLY spawn in dangerous areas
Relatively shallow caves and grassies plateaux aren't dngerous areas
>How do I make it so my base appears anywhere like the rescue pod?
Craft a beacon and release it near your base.
>Can I delete the rescue pod?
No
>>342849349
you can find battery charger bluprint parts in the red grassy areas
>>342849297
and when it gets easy download bob's mod and start crying from suffering while enjoying the game
>>342849560
>Relatively shallow caves... aren't dngerous areas
t. Crash
avoid shallow caves like the plague unless you're in the southern shallows
what are you guys running this on? I get frequent pop-in, plus my rig sounds like a wind tunnel
>>342849718
Running mine on an i7 and r9 390x and I get the same thing, think it's pretty normal
>>342846109
if any of you are good at drawing, please make a game that looks like the image.
>>342849349
You're lucky, you originally had to do just that. Now there's batteries and power cells chargers, just scans the fragments and you'll be able to get them.
If you use a modification station you cna also equip fins that recharge the energy of whatever you're holding.
>>342846471
I've built a base bust its pretty lousy and only 100m down on the grassy plains
I'm still missing some seamoth parts and the moon pool blueprints
>>342849673
>He dies to crashes
Stasis rifle nigga. Or just bait them out
>>342846543
his personal reasoning is irrelevant, the game is good either way.
I was told this game was comfy.
Is this game not comfy?
I'll refund it for Stranded Deep it it's not comfy I swear to god.
I just want comfy water base stuff.
>>342849816
yah, but I get temps up to 140 F
>>342850010
nigga's looking for gold and you're telling him to use something that needs gold
a seaglide is fine to escape those fuckers but I'd rather just go to the grassy plateaus
>>342850039
Depends on how easy you are to spook.
>>342850039
its comfy in a shit your pants sort of way
its not even technically scary since I know ill just respawn if i die
but looking out over some sheer cliff drop into the black abyss is really spooky
>>342846543
What a disgusting human being.
>>342850039
>Is this game not comfy?
It's not comfy at all, it's fucking terrifying
>>342846543
>>342850039
Oh yeah anon, it's comfy as fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSq7k26LoS4
Hear how cute that sound.
>>342850247
This
Can we finally stop having this dumbass discussion every fucking thread?
>>342850192
Spooky scares not very.
Jump scares get me every time I can't help it :c
>>342850267
nooooooooope
>>342850367
Game doesn't have jump scaresunless a reaper leviathan sneaks up on you somehow
>game has a cute fish and scuba gear on the poster
>it's actually about the horrors of the deep
nice advertising guys
>>342850436
Idk.
Doesn't it have some scary squid thing that latches onto your face?
Because fuck that shit. I couldn't handle alien isolation.
The general deep water spookiness seems fine, I want to be able to build my way to things that minimize the spook over time.
At what depths do you start encountering the recently added fuckhuge monsters?
>Playing Subnautica first time
>Swimming around at night
>Keep hearing a loud noise
>Assume it's the crashed ship since it sounds like metal on metal
>Turn around
>Reaper's face
>alt+F4
Shit fucked me up. See one of them for the first time at night.
>>342850595
that'd be the reaper leviathan, which only spawns in a select few areas.
>>342850490
It's not wrong though, in the shallows almost everything is cute and colorful and night time is a beautiful neon wonderland.
>>342850721
Alright.
I think that might be too scary for me but I'll just avoid those areas.
>>342850104
That seems like a pretty normal temp for a gpu, I wouldn't worry about it. I can get up to around 160ish sometimes
>>342850247
>>342850350
Then why would they add FUCKING NERVE GAS torpedoes to the damn game?
>>342850860
The Reaper Leviathan doesn't latches onto your face, it latches you into his mouth.
Big difference.
>>342848845
A hagfish's self defense mechanism can kill nearly every one of it's predators through suffocation. It's still not the top of the food chain.
>>342851171
That's also super mega scary but it probably won't spook me as bad as face hugger style shenanigans.
>>342846218
get a vive and download ReVive
it bypasses oculus drm so you can play oculus only games on a vive (which is not owned by facebook)
>found my first reaper behind the aurora
>rocken the sea moth
>throws me around
>never went back
>later
>Trying to find cyclops parts
>go to wiki
>reapers in dunes and mountains
>never go back
>forever seamoth
>>342850860
protip: reapers are found in:
1.Near the crashed ship, there's only like 1-2 here and they're pretty easy to avoid so don't worry too much about them, just keep your distance
2.The underwater mountains, which you'll have to go to if you want to make a Cyclops (big submarine) or if you want magnetite which isn't used for very much, the island there has nothing unique if I recall correctly
3.The dunes, which are too deep to care about and don't really have anything
>>342850247
ah i'm not mad anymore
you're just a scientist trying to survive on an alien planet
>>342850247
I'll bet he was struggling to hold back his vegan tears while typing out that sentence about crushing the creature with a rock. Poor little guys gonna need therapy.
>>342851507
Actually I take that back, wiki says you don't need to go tothe underwater mountains for cyclops parts
So for the most part you can avoid them and not miss out on anything
>>342851649
You can already knife things to death
>>342851159
Cause it stuns, not kill.
>>342851364
why would you pay an extra $200 for an inferior product
>>342851785
I'm going to assume you're Oculus has already shipped so you cancel the preorder.
>>342851994
im honestly curious what makes the vive worth an extra 200
>>342850660
like 1000m deep
>>342851652
>>342851507
they will sometimes spawn/wander into odd areas though
>>342852401
haven't noticed that other than one time they were kind of in the koosh zone near the aurora
>>342852186
It's not. The headsets are priced the same. It's just the Vive comes with the controllers and additional accessories.
>>342852519
I saw one around the grassy plains while I was in my base there
I saw it swimming in the distance then went out to go chase after it before running back to hide in my base
>>342852578
oculus comes with an xbone controller and headtracking thing, the only thing Vive seems to do different is the roomscale thing which requires more room than I have I think
>>342852731
Wow. A $40 controller and something the Vive has as well.
Is this game actually good or will I regret spending my $11 on it instead of eating lunch out today?
>>342853097
>A $40 controller and something the Vive has as well.
Yes? That's the point? It's very similar but the Vive costs more, I'm asking why exactly
I don't have an omnidirectional treadmill so I'm not sure why I should care
>>342853250
It really nail the change of atmosphere you get from the starting area to the deeper biomes.
>>342852236
Thanks, still mucking about in the shallows right now
>>342851364
oculus removed all their drm a week ago .
revive is just converting oculus driver commands to openvr, no drm there
>>342853305
Cause the Vive comes bundled with the controllers at $800.
Oculus is $600 but says the release price for their controllers will be $150-200. So for the same things Oculus will be $750-800.
>>342853305
better, more accurate tracking solution, a pass through camera letting you see without having to take off the headset, you can pair your phone with the vive so you can answer calls, and do them, perfect steam integration, quite awesome to be honest vr controllers, and you do not need a whole room for this, there are options for seated, standing and roomscale. the place i have dedicated for mine is as small as 1.9x2.8 meters, havent even changed anything in my room.
>>342846109
Does this game have any definite goal you're working towards or is it just random survival?
>>342854407
Story is still being developed so right now it's purely survival.
HOW THE FUCK DO I GET OXYGEN IN MY UNDERWATER BASES??
RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEESeriously though, I've searched, and I can't find anything anywhere. Anyone, help?
>>342854549
Does it have power?
>>342854549
I think it just needs power, right?
pop some fucking solar panels onto it
>>342854631
No, how do I get power?
>>342851770
Nigger it kills
>>342854361
the vive tracking solution is also less cpu heavy, because it does not rely on visual blob tracking with a camera like the oculus, requiring image recognition and analyzing software to read a constellation of ir leds, the vive is using photodiodes ,time of flight and triangulation calculations which can be done on a napkin
>>342854549
No power, no oxygen.
Get some solar panel or thermal reactor, don't fall for the bioreactor meme.
>>342854669
Solar panels or power plants.
online coop?
>get out of seamoth under 180m to scan stuff
>says its going to start crushing me
what the fuck do I do?
>>342854746
next year
>>342854784
You're fine.
Without a rebreather:
unsafe depth = yellow - you will lose oxygen twice as fast
crush depth = red - you will lose oxygen three times as fast
Other than that, you'll be ok.
>>342854654
>>342854730
>>342854717
I need to find some blueprints to build them or something, right? I don't have the option to build them (yet?).
>>342854784
you need to build a pressure compensator and upgrade it to mk3. gives you 900 meter crush depth
>>342854813
Sounds worth a buy then thanks.
>>342854784
You can craft armor upgrades for it.
>>342854784
There's no pressure for the player yet. But to dive deeper with a sub you need upgrades. Build a moonpool, a control panel (or whatever it's called) and a modification station.
How frequently does the game update? I don't trust early access games.
>>342855117
almost daily
There's a hardcore mode that you can enable by typing "nitrogen" into the console
I think it has something to do with decompression sickness
>>342855117
At least once a month, and they add a bunch of new stuff each time
They also have experimental updates which release on a daily to weekly basis
>>342854895
Solar panel blueprints should be pretty easy to find at a relatively shallow depth so yeah.
>>342854895
Correct.
Safe shallows (starting area) will have plenty of blueprints for solar panels though.
I think bioreactor is found in kelp forest, but, it's a shitty way to power your base that needs fuel often.
It works day or night though and if you get an aquarium you can burn fish for power too. And stalkers (which are REALLY common) provide 500 power each. As long as you have 2 stalkers in a large aquarium, they will breed and you can take any 'extras' for fuel for your bioreactor.
You should be able to find stalker eggs very easily early on.
Personally though I prefer thermal power.
>>342855117
They push out hotfixes and smaller updates sometimes several times a day
>>342849840
Subnautica does look like that image.
>Start new game
>Build first base near kelp forest after safe shallows
>Slowly progress to Cyclops
>Build Cyclops
>Nothing to do anymore
>Stop
I've done that three times now. It hurts.
>>342855117
Last few updates
Jun 1
May 6
Apr 5
So about once a month. They're steady updates and stable.
>>342849840
It already exists, it's called Subnautica
You know, the game that the fucking thread is about?
>>342846406
This isn't from Subnautica, is it?
>>342854706
STOP POSTING
>>342855358
These are major updates.
>>342855308
>Early Access
Are you retarded?
>>342855308
I've done it like five times. I bought the game right when the Cyclops update released over an year ago, played it for 5 hours, then moved on for months, before getting back and starting a new game. They updated a lot of things since then so I get a 15 hours worth of playthrough now, and I'm waiting for the next big update to get back in it.
>>342854361
>>342854706
That's all I was interested in, I know this is /v/ but I wasn't immediately trying to debate or take a defensive stance for oculus.
>>342855308
You gotta set yourself more goals, anon.
>Seabase in every biome
>A two-story aquarium for fish and flora from every biome

>>342855392
OP pic is also an official concept art for Subnautica kek.Almost every concept art featuring a diver and a new monster has a female diver. Female divers aren't in the game. reeeee etc.
>>342846989
>>342855474
It most certainly is.Its looking up at the floating islands from underneath. Not a creature, but scared me shitless regardless.
>>342853250
It's 11 bucks, just get a cheap steak pie for lunch with your loose change
>>342846406
Am I the only one who sees an orc?
>>342855904
>Not a creature
Then what, a rock formation?
>>342856253
Yep. The "eyes" are big floaters, which are creatures, but the rest is just rocks.
In the future they're going to implement creatures attacking your base(s) and defense systems for the bases. I hope that a lot of it depends on the size of the base, its location, and what power source you use. We already know that the Reaper Leviathan is attracted to sources of radiation, so using the Nuclear Core may cause one to arrive and attack, and since you have to deal with depleted Uranium Rods that are radioactive getting rid of them will be a concern.
This guy is also going to still be in without terraforming, they could make him the primary hazard for the Safe Shallows and other shallow areas, just saunters up and starts punching your base to scrap.
>>342856761
Just dump the depleted uranium rods in the abyss mate. What could possibly go wrong.
Guys how do I upgrade my sea moth? I was feeling brave with my new seamoth and went towards the wreck of the big ass ship. Fuck me in the ass I need torpedos or some shit what the fuck is that snake thing goddamnit.
Should I get this or The Long Dark? Kinda want a survival game
>>342857417
both are pretty good, but I like that Subnautica is a bit more unique than the hundred "survive in a forest" games
its more about exploring than surviving anyways
>>342857417
Long Dark if you want a brutal struggle to survive
Subnautica if you want a diving game with some scary enemies
>>342857715
how much content does Subnautica have?
I really hope they work on this guy and put him in at some point. A giant arthropod thing that lurks in a burrow and erupts out to attack would be cool and scary for environs like the Dunes, Mountains, Grassy Plateau, and other shallow-to-medium depth open areas, having them at various sizes including one gigantic version in the deepest area it can spawn in.
>>342857403
Once you build the moonpool you can build a Seamoth Modification Station inside it, it has the upgrades as well as options to name and color the Seamoth.
>>342846406
>>342857417
The Long Dark is a survival game, Subnautica is far less dire and focuses on building and exploring for fun as opposed to Long Dark which is exploring to not die.
>>342858090
Is there a limit for how much you can build?
>>342857906
Would be cool
Maybe smaller ones on the grassy plains and Giants on the deepest dunes
>>342858219
I haven't gotten much into building in Subnautica but in The Long Dark you can just craft basic tools and cook stuff.
>>342857827
It seems like a good amount but I've only just started playing a few days ago
The world is really dense and there's lots to explore
What I'm hoping for now is stuff to make bases more in depth and more subs/vehicles
>>342858047
You just gave me a great idea, playing the interstellar soundtrack with this game would be pretty rad
>>342846543
Dude's an idiot but his game is still good.
Can you build something like Rapture in this game?
im pretty skeptic to early access but subnautica looks pretty cool, is it worth 12 yuros with its current content or is it just a buggy shitfest for now?
>tfw playing this at night with headphones on for that stereo sound
>hearing a roar out in the dark distance
>>342858818
Yes. And releases have been very stable.
>>342858438
That would work. One's twice the size of your character in the Grassy Plateau, getting larger until it's the giant one that's in the files down in the depths of the Dunes. And it can be the one thign that can take on and kill a Reaper Leviathan.
>swim/Seamoth through Dunes
>get attacked by Reaper
>lead it over the large pit in the seafloor
>Sandworm erupts out, grabs the Reaper, and drags it in
>>342858786
You mean a giant city under water?
If you want.
If you have the resources.
>>342858818
I'd say so, considering how hard the euro is crashing right now.
>>342858818
m8 just refund it if you don't like it by 2 hours
how demanding is subnautica?
>>342858818
well.. it has less bugs and is more polished than most full releases. but the performance is still wonky until they optimize it before release.
>>342850247
Why the hell does this guy care so much and why is he trying to push his agenda with such ferocity.
Just give people what they fucking want.
>>342859240
well, its not exactly demanding, you just cant squeeze more performance out of it even on a beefy machine. its just not optimized. it runs well as long you are taking it slow, pop ins and short freezes when moving to fast through zones is whats bothering most people
>>342859072
u got a point m8.8
>>342859195
true didnt think about that
>>342859267
well most releases today are trash so its usually the smaller studios that have the real gems
thx bros
>>342854895
Blueprints are those locker things you see everywhere
You need a scanner to scan them
Each blueprint needs 2-5 scans to complete but there are plenty of lockers around.
Very simple thing people tend not to mention to people starting out.
Not even the game gives you any indication what they are or how you interact with them.
Daaaamn
How big is the biggest creature in this game
>>342860886
The Cyclops and the Reaper Leviathan are 55m long. That should tell you how big the two above them are.
>>342859528
Sleep tight little porker.
>>342861095
Theres always a bigger fish.

How do I get inside the aurora without the reapers raping me?
>>342848176
It's actually 365.2422 because leap years don't happen on years multiples of 100 not multiples of 400.
>>342864892
Just head to the front in your seamoth. I've done it several times, and I've never even seen a reaper appear around there.
>>342861629
The fuck's going on with those reflections?
>>342865153
I've never seen a reaper not there.
Is there a guide on how and what to build? Because i don't know shit
>>342861095
Are emperors actually in the game now?
>>342855904
>Not a creature
Are you certain about that?
>>342857417
Get both, they're both great for different reasons
>>342866020
how much content does it have? do you just go around and gathering resources to survive?
>>342855740
>Repair the Aurora
>>342865742
Dragon and Emperor aren't in yet.
post bases
So can I like inject fish dna into myself and grow gills or some shit like that?
>>342866346
Yeah, you gather shit, hunt, avoid wolves, make warmer clothing from the hides of the things you kill, try not to die, get extremely comfy at times.
It has a fair bit of content, I have over 40 hours played and I haven't even seen about half of the game world
Devs are really active and add new regions and mechanics all the time
Plus the sound design is fucking great
And the main character is voiced by male Shepard/femShep depending on gender
>>342861095
The cyclops isn't bigger than a reefback what the shit
So what exactly am I suppose to do when shit attacks me since the Dev(s) are hippies and hate guns. This little knife doesn't do shit.
>>342866982

It's a shame you don't like the style though, I think it adds a lot to the game
>>342867018
Talk it out.
>>342867018
The Seamoth has torpedoes... that do nothing.
>>342867301
Hmmm, I'm tempted after the blurb on steam says its for solo players, where most survival sims are designed for multiplayer via local host or private host.I have no friends, so ARK sucked for me
>>342866982
Where does that extend to anon?
>>342867814
Is there a limit to how many pieces can be placed?
>Knife disappears every time I load up my game
Annoyed having to make a new one every time
Anyone else have this?
>Play this
>Has the Minecraft problem of "how do I fucking do anything"
>Need to look up where to get stuff
I'm not the only one right? I spent an hour looking for "crash powder" last night because I didn't think to look at the plants that release those exploding fish things. I also had to look up how to get bleach and that I needed a knife. Is there shame in doing this?
>>342867664
Yeah no multiplayer faggotry either
Just you, alone
>>342867889
Don't think so
>>342867898Git Gud
Is it worth it yet? How long until it's out of Early Access?
I haven't played many survival games, is this a good one as any to start. Only have enough money to get this and maybe one more game this sale.
>>342867898
Not really. The whole fun of this kind of games comes from figuring stuff out. If you're being handheld throughout them that aspect is gone.
I never found myself in trouble except near the end, when I just couldn't figure out where to find some fragments, and when I was looking for Alum oxide because I was expecting it to be way deeper than where it actually is.
how do you fend off attackers? it takes like 10 knife stabs and a good 30 seconds to kill a stalker. Is there a submarine i can research? what happens when you hatch an egg? does it follow yo uaround?
>>342868209
>Is it worth it yet?
around 20/25 hours of content and exploration more or less. More if you have autism and like base building.
>How long until it's out of Early Access?
years
>>342868869
run nigger that how you survive
>>342866985
Sort of. You'll be able to use various creatures' DNA to be able to use less oxygen, survive deeper pressure, and other things.Which may be how the previous crashees turned into Warpers, meaning you're going to do the same to yourself
>>342869109Deepest Lore
>>342850267
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that
So what should I be doing out the gate?
Making O2 tank and flippers and shit or get to stock piling food or just fast tech to sea moth?
>>342870231
Make at least 1 air tank for more oxygen and flippers for much faster movement, it'll take about three minutes. After that you can pretty much do whatever.
>>342867018
Run away, use a stasis rifle or propulsion cannon, knife it to death
>>342846543
This being the reason for the lack of weapons is pretty weak.
That being said I have no issue with the lack of weaponry, and actually find it somewhat refreshing to not have them.
Having gun greatly changes the dynamic. Now seeing a hostile fish means you open fire until it's dead. Enemies are walls you knock down to get through.
It's a vastly different feeling to being unable to murder everything that inconveniences you.
I like the lack of firearms, but not the reason for it.
>>342870231
First thing you should do is build a base.
Then find the Sea Moth.
Then go to the island for infinite food (Hint: Collect Lantern Fruit and plant it in your base)
>>342867018
Run away.
Besides the Reaper Leviathan, all hostile entities give up chasing you if you run away for long enough.
As for the Reaper, you should use the sound queues to avoid encountering them in the first place. Otherwise, Stasis Gun works well to stop them.
>>342870597
I kinda skipped the island part, I made triple aquarim thing and filled it with fish. Supplies me with infinite food sort of. Where do I go get cyclops parts?
>>342870776
Mushroom Forest and Floating Underwater Island biomes contain all the parts for Cyclops.
The Lantern Fruit is better than the aquarium because it provides water and food, and you don't need to run around catching things (or make sure you don't take all of a certain species)
The drawback is that it takes 4 slots, so it's not any good for traveling. It's use is to fill food/water each time you return to base.
How deep can you go in just a suit?
I can't seem to find the Seamoth parts
>>342871154
As deep as you want, but you start consuming double and triple oxygen at certain depths unless you have a rebreather
The Seamoth parts are in the grassy plains, the area with the red grass

>see enormous figure faintly in the distance

This. He should have just said it's his game and he doesn't want guns, so fuck off. Instead, he went on a totally unnecessary political rant.
>>342846109
This game would benefit from some sort of harpoon gun or something
Maybe some sort of exosuit so you don't need to worry about air when deep down
Just imagining fighting Sea Emperor to death makes me hard
>>342850247
>>342846543
I'm absolutely against the devs politics, but it's very clear that this isn't really about politics, but their only misstep was trying to lay out their biases.
Honestly, I think adding a gun to this game would be extremely detrimental. Giving any kind of ranged attack to the PC, outside of Seamoth torpedoes, would make all the exploration a lot less frightening, and every encounter with a predator trivial. The devs would have to spend time trying to flush out this new FPS system so it didn't feel like you were clicking on things to make them dead, but again, even it had the most compelling FPS mechanics conceived, it still wouldn't fit in with the rest of the game.
Besides, who needs courage when you have a gun?
>>342872187
Exosuit is in the works.
It actually works somewhat if you use the Experimental build and spawn it with console commands.
I don't believe it can dock yet, but you can walk around in it.
My fuck all I want right now is for the icons to be static and not blinking. STOP.
>>342871368
it's about to lay eggs
>>342861095
These are all fine and dandy but the repetitive reptilian look on the reaper and the above is getting a little dull.
I hope they add more exotic and bizarre looking giant creatures, like the reefback, but are agressive.

A couple of the hippie nogunz fags got pissy when they got overridden and the torpedoes added in.
I don't think guns would solve the problem, but I definitely think torpedoes and landmines should be things so you can fuck up Reapers. Right now, the only way to kill them is stasis and 1.5x diamond knives.
And they respawn now, because some devs thought that the game was better when fish respawned.
>>342870513
Id like some sort of makeshift weapon, like using a laser cutter or whatever, or even making a spear you can use to keep things at bay away from you (but not snipe them down) maybe even just poisoning your knife
>>342872971
>even making a spear you can use to keep things at bay away from you
Like the propulsion rifle, which is already in the game, fag?
Which is the better weapon, the stasis gun or the repulsor or whatever its called?
My biggest gripe with this game is the lack of any sort of... system? I'm not sure how to put it. Power management is really basic and straightforward, there's no real production chains you have to string together, no computer systems for efficiency or management, no oxygen
Do you build your base right under the emergency pod?
>>342873392
Only if you're a casual who can't handle a real base in a real biome
If you have your main base in the shallows you need to leave
>>342873235
yeah, game is super one dimensional so far with little to no actual challenge, it has progression but no challenge
How do I get more than 75 o2?
>>342873230
Stasis locks them in place for like 20 seconds, repulsion canon just knocks them back.
Stasis runs out f battery much quicker though.
>>342873392
I build my base in the ribs of a skyscraper-sized carcass in pitch darkness.
Shallow casual.
>>342873574
Make oxygen tank at the fabricator
>>342873392
That's where I built my first one because it made sense, since I had all my resources over there.
Later on I started building another one somewhere else but I didn't see the point: the only inconvenience of a base in the spawn area is that it's not really Cyclops-accessible, but otherwise it's pretty much smack in the centre of the map, perfect for going anywhere.
I have never replayed the game after the first time, but I think that if I did, I'd make the base in the red grass area next to the safe shallows: there's a lot more room there and it's still fairly central.
>>342873574
Build a workbench, you can upgrade your tanks from there
>>342873392
I always build mine on the red grass area, lot of place, not so dangerous and high enough to get energy from solar panels, pretty good for a starting base I think.
