Rate my seamoth and post yours.
how well does this game run?
>>342907171
I don't even know what I'm looking at or what you're talking about.
HOW THE FUCK DO I GET STALKER TEETH
>>342907431
Pick up some of that debris you can turn into titanite(or whatever that common metal is)
Drop it near Stalkers
Wait until they pick it up and drop it alongside one of their teeth.
>>342907431
Give the stalkers metal and maybe a fish so it doesn't attack you
It'll thrash the metal around and it MAY drop a tooth
Anyone experiencing stuttering and spikes of memory usage? Also the water looks like shit and I can't see any difference between the graphics option.fuck
>>342907171
>550 power
>Running a sea moth moon pool.
Hope you like POWER LOST remixes.
Still, nice moth. Post mods.
>>342907253
Not very, actually.
>>342907829
Huh I havn't run out of power and I even have a water filtration unit. I have a shit ton of solar panels though and one bio thingie.
>>342907253
i got a 5 year old laptop and it runs pretty good
>>342907431
Check in the caves or nooks around the kelp forest. For some reason stalker teeth drift into there.
On that topic, can you get teeth from stalkers in your aqurium?
Alright I don't fucking get it.
I scan a bridge, hull, or engine fragment and I get titanium. I am trying to unlock the cyclops. Is my shit fucked or do I have to find a unique portion of one of the three portions, if that makes sense.
Also here's my work in progress base.
>>342907664
No one?
Can you make a base spanning most of the map?
Do you bother with the escape pod once you get a base up and running?
>>342907171
Is this worth getting then?
Looks good and it's got a very nice discount but I'm really put off by the fact it's early access, same goes for Long Dark.
Yooo

>Be me
>Base has 5 panels, two bio reactors, three thermal plants conducted over about miles.

The part that really gets me is not having the ability to split output of thermal plants to power satilite bases.
>>342908642
>Base has 5 panels, two bio reactors, three thermal plants conducted over about miles.
If you're less than 100m deep you can just put down 50 solar panels and never have to worry about power
>>342907253
From my experience, it has a lot of skipping. It settles down, but lots of movement in or out of different 'zones' messes it up a bit.
It also feels slightly off to me. Like my character's movements (especially on land) seem at a lower framerate than they actually are.
If you can get over these problems, I'd recommend it. You gotta be into the whole crafting and exploration shit though.
just bought the game, what mode should I play?
>>342907664
>>342908275
I haven't but my rig is well over recommended. I do have draw distance problems with terrain popping.
>>342908275
>>342907664
Yeah, after playing for about 30 mins the frame rate just tanks and the audio gets super buggy for me.
>>342908642
I have a power tower. It's about 6 rooms stacked, each one with a bio-reactor filled with reginalds.
I never run out of power and it's been years.
>>342908720
Okay, I'll put some panels up on a tall reef and run a conductor.
I actually made the base going down a cliff.
>>342908149
cyclops hull, engine, and bridge blueprints are each their separate thing with 3 blueprint fragments each. You need all of them to make a cyclops. there's also a cyclops power efficiency mod in the aurora, get that.
>>342908937
Do different fish have different outputs? Because reactors seem to just eat through kelp.
>>342908535
just play for 2 hours and refund it if you don't like it
>>342909241
fish in general are far superior to plants, especially kelp
>>342909241
Kelp only gives like 5 power.
Regis give like 200 and you can shove 16(?) I think into 1 reactor, and reactors don't burn them until they need to.
Build some fish tanks and fill them with regis.
You'll never worry about food or power ever again.
>>342907253
I'm rocking 4~ year old equipment and it runs pretty good on minimum. I'm assuming full release will have actual graphics options and optimization.
What's the point of that customization if you're the only person to see it?
Is this multiplayer yet? Would it even be good as a multiplayer game?
>>342909559
no and no
>>342907253
Stutters.
>>342908816
The one without food and water needs. Foraging for food and water the first few days its just annoying and then after that you have an unlimited supply anyway.
>>342909559
>What's the point of that customization if you're the only person to see it?
>mfw no one sees my customization even in multiplayer games.
>>342909559
>>342909681
Game would be cool multiplayer.
>>342909717
It's not so bad when you find out you can eat fish raw.
Have they made fragments easier to find recently?
I tried playing a few months ago, and I stopped when I figured out that after 10 hours of playing, I was nowhere near getting anything bigger than a Seamoth.
I never found all the pieces for solar towers, either, so I was stuck farming kelp and deep sea fungus for power. It was a pain in the ass.

Deepsea Challenger updates when?
Subnautica needs to get spookier and more dangerous.
>>342910714
I'm 25 friend-o.
Newsflash. This isn't the day and age that people move out at 17 anymore. I'd gladly spend a few hours a week helping my folks do gardening or housework if it means cheap as fuck rent and free food.
>>342910310
That's pretty cool.
>>342910834
>we will never actually settle the ocean floor

can you run this on a shit toaster? the only game that gets a steady framerate for me is like STALKER, i cant even play grow home at max resolution
>>342911426
>we know more about the universe than we do about our own oceans
>>342911426
It's funny to think that we actually have a more realistic chance of settling outside the Earth than in the bottom of the ocean.
Pressure is a bitch.
How well will this run on a GTX660?
>>342911761
I have a GTX 660ti, it plays reasonably well, but has more problems with harddrive/memory speed than graphics. They're re-doing terrain load soon, so it'll run better.
>>342910484
They added that anon in one of the patches. On a different note how does the scanner room work? What effect do the upgrades actually have and what is the hud thing for because I popped them all in but didn't notice a difference. Are they for the camera drone itself?
THIS MAJOR TOM TO GROUND CONTROL
I'M FUCKING LOST DOWN HERE
>>342912040
They did? Well shit, I'm on build 802. Gonna buy the game when I get paid on Friday
Old pic but postan
>Make a cozy base
>5 meters under the surface and not even 20 meters out of safe shallows
I fucked it
>>342909186
yeah, I'm saying I'm like 99 percent sure I get titanium for each portion, which means I've scanned them all right?
>>342912336
Check your blueprints tab to see what you have that needs to be scanned still.
Sea moth and that echo location visulizer thing is fucking atmospheric as fuck
That pinging sound as you navigate the deep ocean caves with nothing but darkness and the holographic image is DEEP

How much RAM and whats your CPU?
>>342912632
I've got 16gb of RAM and an i5 @4.2ghz.
>>342912040
the hud thing is for your inventory, same slot as a thermometer or compass. upgrades are fairly self-explanatory, makes it scan faster/further. the hud upgrade will put a circle around whatever you told it to scan for, all quartz within several hundred meters for example.
>>342912040
Okay, nevermind I read up on them. Scanner rooms suck ass and are completely worthless unless you spam them across the map because the range is pathetic.
>>342912620
>playing a game that makes you cum over and over.
Why are you talking like that's a bad thing?
>>342912082
The problem I have with the lava zone, specifically the active lava zone, is that there isn't a huge open area where the floor is completely lava.
I want to see a huge lake of lava at the bottom of the ocean
I remember there being a webm somewhere of a tiny sub in pitch blackness using sonar pings to look around, and through the pings you could see what looked like a giant crab using a large sub as a shell.
Is that this game?
>>342912884
No. That's Diluvion and it's not out as far as I known
>>342911426
It's closer than you think actually.
There's some obscure group of researchers working on production of deep-sea doming systems for actually settling the ocean floor in the event of the polar ice caps melting and massively reducing above-ground landmass.
It's... not been going great, but it's making progress.
>>342912731Yup, I need more RAM and learn how to overclock
>Farming creepvine near my base
>I have created the sun
This shit is unreasonably bright.
>>342912772
>>342912756
There was an issue in the last stable build that completely muted all creature sounds if you built the scanner room. Don't build one unless they patched this, it really ruins the atmosphere and predators can sneak up on you
>>342910834A few players have found incomplete things around the map suggesting stuff like that. Dark mazes and labyrinths, tombs strange markingsa etc. The game is going to have some kind of story arc, and it should be good fun. They probably wont release it until the game is almost done- but Im sure its being developed.
>>342913052
MY EYES. WHY DO THEY BLEED.
>>342913135
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
>>342911426
How do you even build something that can resist that ridiculous pressure?
>>342913268
Carefully
>Tfw I had a dream I was in Subnautica's world last night but super vivid
>Dynamic lighting, incredibly dark ocean where you can't see anything
>Only sources of light in the kelp forest are the orange seed things
>The kelp swirls around, telling you of the danger of potential hostile fauna
Shit was fucking sweet senpai. Take me back.
Seriously it's too fucking bright. Like holy shit.
>>342913268
There are materials that can resist that kind of pressure, they are just incredibly difficult to produce and rare.
I mean we have subs that go down to the deepest points, so I don't see why not permanent structures eventually.
>>342913268
Honey
>>342913069
Sounds interesting.
We need to go deeper.I mean that literally. 3000m is still too shallow.
>>342913268
Patience, hope, and a sprinkling of glass subjected to repeated testing, retesting, and torture until it is dubbed "good enough" and then put into a test product to see how it handles and then hoping it doesn't explode half-way to the sea-floor.
A good method is to sample the sediments in deep environments and see how their molecular structures compare to similar above-ground materials.
>>342913374
>I mean we have subs that go down to the deepest points
hue no we don't, we send unmanned shit down there not subs
>>342913343
I've had some pretty vivid dreams, one recently where I drowned twice. As I sunk below the surface of the water, I didn't see anything. I felt water rushing around me as I sunk, the river floor disappeared when I touched it and then the pressure build around me as I gave up.
It happened twice.
>>342909186
How the fuck do you even enter the aurora?
I went through the front and it was just a bunch of invisible walls and miscellaneous debris where you never really could tell where you could and couldn't move to.
>>342913557
There's an opening on the exploded side above-water. Have fun.
>>342913557
There's a path along the beams on the frontside as well as a small hole on the west side that leads right to the reactor core
>>342913557
There's a ramp at the front that takes you up and around inside and there's a side entrance. Both only available after the Aurora has hit critical and ruptured.
>>342913052
Shit son, every hostile creature on the planet knows exactly where you are.
These guys are the key to infinite power. Catch a few, toss 'em into a tank and let 'em multiply.
Grab a few to eat and a few for your bio-reactors and enjoy self-sufficiency.
>>342911426
its unironically easier to build a habitat in space than it is under the sea.
funny enough living on Venus might be easier that living on Mars, since the gravity is similar to Earth and the atmosphere protects against radiation
a floating habitat could exist in the upper atmosphere and have conditions similar to Earth.

>>342913781
>not using peepers
I don't have this game. It looks to me like you can build your own underwater base. Is that true? If yes, can sea monsters attack your base?
>>342913486
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepsea_Challenger
You're retarded lad
>>342913912
Extra large rooms when?
>>342914065
yes and some of them
>>342913976
Peepers only give 150 energy to a bioreactor. Regis give 220.
>>342913781
Any fish does well, but Bunnyrays do better. Even the other large fish last longer still.
Hatch two similar eggs in an Aquarium and let them breed out.
>>342913912
Don't forget that Multiplayer generally requires a rewrite of the game from the ground up assuming they didn't originally plan for it. Networking is a fucking NIGHTMARE.
I considered a refund due to the performance issues but I hear that they are working on an update to fix it since they got rid of terraforming.
I'll hold onto it, i love how much it triggers my fear of deep sea.
>>342914141
Regis are more plentiful and easier to acquire than hunting for eggs, and really focusing on anything bigger isn't necessary since 16 Regis give 3520 power and you'll never-ever use that much energy unless you have 4 water-filter machines for every 1 bioreactor.

If I start base building and my shit doesn't really fit where I picked, can I deconstruct everything and move it somewhere else or am I stuck with where I pick?
>>342913268
I personally think the secret lies in biology. Sperm whales have a fluid in them that doesn't change under pressure, and they're capable of diving deeper than any man made device. And there's plenty of living things down deep that survive perfectly well under pressure that destroys the greatest man made materials ever created.I'm saying we need to tame whales.
Also Marblemelons make food AND water trivial.
>>342914201
I hope they never implement multiplayer.
They're going to get the game near perfect then fuck it all up.
>>342914512
do they attack you
>>342914409
A trip through a mushroom forest yields an easy glowray egg or two, anywhere has Bunnyray eggs, Kelp has Stalker Eggs a plenty. You can find Sandshark eggs easy too.
>>342914538
>not hanging fruit

>>342914512
Sand Sharks go in Bio Reactors!
>>342914526
You get all the materials back, provided you have inventory space.
>>342908276
hypothetically you probably could
>>342914584
Yep. Predators are passive in the large aquarium but as soon as you release them in open water they are hostile. They become full size too!

>>342914530
>and they're capable of diving deeper than any man made device
We've reached rock bottom though. The problem is actually staying down there, let alone building any living environments.
Those deep sea creatures usually don't try to fight back against the pressure, they're very jelly-like. But we can't do that to ourselves.
>>342909241
get some ampeel eggs, hatch them in your tank, put electric eels in bio reactor, build 20 moon pools and a million searchlights
Guys, I need help. I've gotten to the point in the game where I want to build a base, but I'm just completely flummoxed about where to put one.
The safe shallows are with all the coral and stuff looks really comfy, but ideally, I'd like to set myself up for later in the game. I also struggle with making an interesting base lay out.
Show me some pics of your base and tell me where you put it.
>>342915232
I have my base in a video, from 6 hours of livestreaming. For some reason, I don't take many screenshots while livestreaming.
>>342915232
How is there a map? I thought every world was unique?
>>342915232
I made mine right at the edge of the Lost River Biodome, where there's currently nothing. I accidentally deleted this huge Bloodstalk, would have looked amazing overlooking my base 1km+ deep. When the next update comes, I'll probably pack it up and move it into the Lava Castle after making the Sea Dragon my bitch (somehow)
>>342915426

HALP all of the lights in my base are just off, I'm at full power. I have fucking nuclear power. Why is this.
>>342915426
Nope.
Every map is the same.
>>342915087
They're drawn to nuclear power? Fuck.
>>342915681Why do you think they're around the Aurora?
>>342914238
I'm on the same boat. Game looks cool but that fucking performance and lack of graphic options is
>>342915587
>he hasn't encountered it yet
rip
Have the devs said anything about incorporating hostile parasitic lifeforms that infect your bases?
I was thinking how it might be neat but I dunno how annoying it would be to perform outside maintenance on your base every so often.
>>342915879
w-what?
>>342915426
I think the features inside the various biomes get generated each time you make a new game, but the overall map layout is the same. I could be wrong.
This map is correct on the macro scale.

>>342915232
WebM guy here, this is the layout of my base.
Theres an entrance hall, 2 storage rooms, Observation room/office, 2 Generator rooms, an indoor garden, gallery, 2 large aquarium rooms, the moonpool and the outdoor garden.
Location is up to you but I usually go for the best views so usually on a cliff or ridge.
...And just like that the lights turned back on. Motherfuckers, I actually started to believe the reaper thing or that I was about to have a nuclear meltdown.
>>342917114

>>342917221
I'm not too concerned, but that is partially why I'd prefer to trade for it then fork over the 17USD.
>>342907253
terribly. you can get a high framerate, but expect it to dip to sub 50 constantly
absolutely do not play this game in VR in its current state, you will hurl
>>342917165
Alright gonna add on to this for anyone as stupid as me. Apparently, if you build a big tube from your base up onto the surface of the water, even if you have mass reinforcement below, it can breach and flood without collecting any water inside your base below. So, the light will be off until you fix them.

>>342907253
Next patch they're removing terraforming, so that the game will run incredibly smoothly. As it is, the game has to run individual checks on every piece of diggable sand. After that's removed, there's roughly 2k less objects that need to be loaded in in any given biome, up to 41k in the Dunes biome.
Then all they need to do is remove pop-in and add the ability to see out farther, and the game will run perfectly.

i'm pretty sure this game would stress me out too much, but its the only survival sandbox game thats looks even remotely interesting, compared to all those DayZ clones.
don't even need sea monsters, just being underwater and possibly running out of O2, the darkness, the pressure weighing your limbs down, the 4 dimensions of vulnerability, fuck.
>>342917626
Only if I want to explore more biomes or make WebMs. The current endgame of Subnautica is to make at least one of each item in the game as far as I'm concerned and thats what my base has.
>>342917718
I torn on whether I will be happy with terraforming gone or not. Having the game run much better will be great BUT I love that at the moment you can build your base next to a wall and it will remove the terrain to fit the module.
If we can't build our bases because on a tiny rock I'm going to be fucking annoyed
Fun fact, the scanner room mutes Reaper Leviathans. They won't even make a sound while eating your Sea Moth.

Fucking underwater cave spelunking is fucking scary as fuck
Water pressure should be harder to deal with than what it is currently.
>>342918114
Your base can already destroy placed objects. Removing the ability to terraform won't change base building, unless you wanted to build your base in a bowl of sand.
>>342915384vinny?

>>342913912
>that middle flower bed
Where? I was also sure there was a double bed but I am dealing with singles right now.
>>342918392
I agree. The fact that the player character barely has to deal with pressure besides oxygen really breaks my immersion.
I've been on the fence about buying this game for a while now.
>see this thread
>into the cart it goes
>>342918609
Vinny hasn't played Subnautica for that long in one sitting.

It's a foolproof plan.
>>342917483
WHO WAS GUEST
>>342918491
As long as we can still do pic related, I'll be happy but how can they remove Terraforming while keeping pic related? Aren't they the same thing?
>>342918772
I won't tell you where exactly... but go to the Island to the south and look towards the mountains...
What engine does this use?
>>342919090
So because I call for better pressure mechanics, in a game about deep sea exploration, where pressure is a crucial issue people face IRL, and a mechanic that is already in the game, you're telling me I'm saying the game needs to be ultra-realistic?
Pressure needs to be a bigger problem for the player than the vehicles, but right now this is reversed.
>>342919110
Ah, that's good to hear.
>>342910310
...so did you fuck?
>>342918976
I'll have to breed up those rays to release in deep ocean biomes.
>>342919090
I'd say for a game about deep-sea diving a little in the way biological consequences for pressure would be fine.

To anyone who can't into bases well at all:
Autism ahead, warning
Room with nothing but storage
Room with fabricator, a small bit of storage with high-use items such as a bit of glass/qz/titanium etc
Reinforce your walls around the generator, makes it so you can use glass a lot more because you probably aren't going to visit it a lot anyways
If you know where the marblemelons and shit spawn go grab it and haul the seeds back to your base, make sure to grab the pots as well
voila, never have to eat or drink anything again
Things I would change:
Reinforce the Nitrogen Cheat
Make food/water tougher to get your hands on
massively nerf the growtime of hangingfruit and melons/potatoes
More material areas, I can't count the number of fucking times I've had to endlessly search the ends of the planet for some silver
that's it really

I'm 25, and I moved out at 16. Junior year of highschool.
Then I worked at a grocery store from bagger to CSM and (with my then gf/now wife's help) put myself through college.
Now I just graduated, had to do my internship out of state so I quit my job, and I'm going to live with parents until I find a new one with my degree.

>Early Access
I'm a little leery of this, is it worth picking up now or should I wait to see what state it'll be in during the winter sale?
>>342919789
it's ok for the price, it's worth $20 after experiencing everything it has to offer.
>>342919719
Good luck anon!
>>342919789
They said the base game should be finished by August.
is this a rare case or early access good guys?
the dev roadmap seems pretty open, like they aren't hiding the fact they took the money and ran instead, like most devs.
https://trello.com/b/yxoJrFgP/subnautica-development
>>342919743
I remember when these devs were in their planning phase. They're /v/ regulars or, rather, they were.
>>342919743
It's Unity.
>>342919665
its retarded how common gold is and how little its used

>>342917782
>music casually playing while exploran

>"Hello?"
>>342919965
That's because they didn't run. If you buy the game right now, you get more than $20 dollar's worth.
And they are constantly updating and have actual dates. They are a sadly rare case of legitimate use of early access.
>>342919969
Just like Notch!

Are crabsnake eggs found inside of the mushrooms or are they just laying about the jelly cave?
This game gives me such massive levels of anxiety. Fuck the ocean, but this game is super fun and I can't stop playing. Every time I'm swimming around int he seamoth and I see a big ravine or just a drop, I start sweating and get so fucking nervous. I don't think a game has ever done this to me. Along with the feeling of wonder when you find a new biome and just marvel at it. Game is awesome, can't wait till they implement everything.
>>342920346
>>342920103
>There is an intelligent and advanced alien species that the devs are making on
>>342920443
Boy you're telling me. When the light begins to get dimmer I get really jittery in the seamoth. I keep bumping into the environment and the horrible CLANG always makes me jump. Not to mention having to come out of my sub to use the welder.
>>342919965
I find the Subnautica guys, Amplitude and Klei are pretty good for early access.

I ask again. Is this game worth it, or is it just Minecraft level disappointment again?
>>342921005
If you're that worried, just pirate the thing and see for yourself.
>>342921005
You want a link to my livestream so you can make up your own mind?
>>342921005
Depends on what you're looking for. If you want a effective deep sea terror game with some decent base building mechanics it's worth the 8-10 hours of content there is right now. More to come too.
>>342920776
Never played the game, but tell me what happened.
>>342921127
I prefer there to be some objective to work towards.
From what I've seen of the game, I'm 50/50. Looks a bit neat, but seems like it'll just end up amazingly shallow. And the creature design is a mixed bag between alien and weird and shit that looks like it was ripped out of a Unity asset pack that don't look like they belong at all.
>>342920776
Wait, you talking about Floater Island? What should I be looking for below it?
I bought this game yesterday, but haven't had a chance to play because I'm too busy posting on /v/, but is there any tangible reason to explore? Like do you find useful things in caves and trenches?

>>342907171
I know they said no guns, but is there a way to kill the mean fishies? Or if something attacks your base are you just fucked?
Is this just gonna be another early access game like The Forest? Or is it actually pretty good?
>>342921340
I've heard talk in these threads of a story involving intelligent life forms on the planet and how they gained control of a Sea Emperor, and that it'd be something you'd be working towards accomplishing to do yourself in the end game.
>>342921476
I thought people liked the Forest.
>>342917718
Ok now I'm thinking about keeping the game instead of getting refund.
>>342921465

or I guess propulsion cannon etc.
>>342921485

That's not something to work toward, though. That's pointless. That's ARK shit. ARK is a terrible game.

Isn't part of the games charm that you are not or will eventually not become the highest in the food chain?
>It is normal to be repulsed by the thought of eating a dead animal.
>tfw stabbing a reaper to death
>>342921654
It could be going either way at this point, controlling a Sea Emperor could just be a neat gameplay mechanic or it could start some kind of ending. There's shit in the game about the ships being shot down by something on the planet, which sounds pretty final boss-y to me at least.
>>342921903
is that even possible?
>Finding out that Reapers can't see you if you don't move
Holy shit the game is so easy now
>>342921824
The human condition is one where we are driven to become the top of the food chain. We are literally hard-wired to kill anything that challenges us. Or fuck it to death.

>>342922224
This whole thing sounds "That Kid" as fuck.
Does this game at least take advantage of any neater mechanic ideas for big spooky monsters than them just being big spooky monsters?
Are there any creatures that use electromagnetic broadcast to induce hallucinations in prey? Will you suddenly start seeing weird shit if one gets nearby?

There's also a Goal_GiantMushroom when you reach that.
>>342922316
Well there are logs about the other ship called the Degasi in game and why it crashed into the planet, which is that something shot it down. There's models for the intelligent race (cannot remember their name) already too, and the jelly shroom base was fucked up by them.
Does this game require a good GPU, CPU or RAM? I mean, is it CPU/RAM intensive or mostly GPU?
>>342910310
>sits with me
more like sits on your hard shaft right? right?
>>342922974
The Warpers have a model and animations.
>>342923234
It's not them, it's the one that look very much like Reapers.
>>342922294
It's pretty fun already.
The devs also keep a pretty good work tracker that everyone can see so at least they're open about what they're up to.

When are they going to release the next update?
>>342923847
Probably first week of next month.
I think my game glitched up or something and stopped spawning hostiles.
Because I was able to build a welder and lead suit and then casually swim up to the spessship and fix the reactor and make a base next tot he trench behind the ship and I still haven't seen a single hostile creature
What do the floaters do?
>>342924085
Maybe you just got lucky.
I remember one time I hanged around the floating isle for a long ass time before someone told me there was supposed to be a reaper around there.
Do I still have a need for the radiation suit after patching the reactor inside the ship?

>nope right the fuck out of there
>go around this jutting out bit with nothing on it
I swear this game sometimes. Dunno why it didn't agro since I got a lot closer than this before I noticed. Didn't even make a sound the whole time. I think the scanner room breaks the game's audio. Also, vortex or gas torpedoes so storming the aurora and killing these shits if they get too close? First of course I need to find magnetite and from my understanding I can find that where they are. Will perimeter defense get it to fuck off?
>>342923760
I also was really scared of leaving the pod at night. I have an immense fear of the ocean and sea creatures, especially not being able to see the bottom of a body of water I am in. Finally made a flash light assuming that would make me feel better, after two nights I realized absolutely nothing changes. Its okay to go out at night, but I normally spend them watching the orbiting planet waiting for an eclipse.
>>342924132
Lift rocks.
Have a rock blocking a tunnel you want in?
Attach a couple floaters to lift it out of the way.

I killed a few stalkers and more have returned to the same area
I bought this game but I'm too scared of the ocean to keep playing it.
Whenever night falls I'm just like welp guess I'm done and stop because I don't want to wait for day to come. One time I was like fuck it I'm going back down and within like five seconds a strange large fish I'd never seen before lunged at me jaws wide

>massively reducing above-ground landmass
If every single glacier and both poles completely melted, the global sea-level would rise about 10 feet you fucking scrub.
Yes, big deal for coastal cities, but for the other couple billion living at 1000 fucking meters above sea-level, not really a big concern.
>replying to a 2 hour old post
I'm a bit rustled.
>>342926559
You're forgetting that the world is flat and the oceans are only held in by massive icewalls, anon.
>>342924550
>storming the Aurora
The only thing worth a fuck around Aurora is repairing the drive-core and getting the upgrade for the Cyclops. There is absolutely nothing worth salvaging that justifies staying in an area with sometimes 4+ Reaper Leviathans, so your sole purpose should be to get a seamoth with damage res and hull shock, speed the fuck into the small ravine on the side, swim straight up into the Aurora, repair the breaches, get the upgrade, get the fuck out. If you're there any longer than 20 minutes out of your entire game session, you're just asking to be murdered.
>>342926641
>flat earth
it's clearly a concave earth with a glass sky that holds in the cosmos
>>342926786
>allowing the ocean to beat you with its fear engine
I exclusively build bases on the Aurora's southwest side, right by the rocks next to the thrusters. There is nothing greater to overcome fear than living in the worst possible location.
I am convinced that my character can no longer sleep without the sweet lullaby of a pod of reapers screaming around the corner.

drops down to like 45fps average after a while. Pop in is pretty insnae, although that is meant to be fixed when terraforming is removed.
Anyone try this game with a VR headset? How is it?
How do you get common coral samples?
http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Slanted_Shell_Plate
According to this page, I can knife this kind of coral to get the samples.
However, I got a knife but slashing the corals do nothing.

So I just made a base above the first heat-source and upgraded all my stuff. What do I do next? Take my sea-moth down there, or what

>first night
>dive into water

this is by far the most terrifying game i have ever played. I that gas shooting out of the waters surface was enough to make me pause the game and get some ice water. i have to hide in my capsule because my heartrate spikes and my hands start shaking when i go in the water at night. are there any predators that will come near my pod or the ship that I need to worry about?
also I would feel a lot more comfortable with a weapon. can someone point me in the direction of some helpful supplies? right now i have a bunch of sand and acid shrooms
God damnit I hate you anons. I want the fuck out of this game but I can't afford it. I'm going to have to wait until next steam sale BUT STOP RUBBING IT IN YOU BASTARDS

>>342913052

They're plentiful and I have the charger so they're useless for me.

This game goes from spooky to comfy in seconds. Now I'm stuck on an Island filled with crabs.
>>342927538
Good News;
There are only 3-4 major 'predators' you have to watch out for. In the starting areas, you're GENERALLY safe so long as you stay above 140m and away from kelp-forests. Most predators as well are happy to leave you alone unless you thrust your dick at them, and can be sidestrafed/knifed to death with relative ease.
Bad News; there are only 2 real 'weapons' in the game, one being your knife and the other a late-game unlock for your sub. You MAY find some blueprints to help you build some tools to stun or disable, but killing is generally out of the question. On top of that, most predators will kill you in 3-5 hits, and one is a straight up insta-kill if it catches you swimming around (its called a 'leviathan', you'll know it when you see it).
Max setting breaks the UI.
God dammit devs.

This looks like the grown ass mans version of that, and I'm interested.
How's the controller support for this?

I hope they underwater brine lakes and rivers.
>>342933613
Oh yeah.
Can't wait for Reaper eggs.
How easy is it to deconstruct bases?
I'm very autistic when it comes to base placement, but it isn't so bad if I can pop up an ugly square or two temporarily and then wipe them off the map when I'm done with them.
Also is there anything to happen with the life support pod, or is it just eternally bobbing there as the backup home?
>>342934014
Easy, you do it the same way you construct them.
Don't even lose resources so you can easily place the object somewhere else if you wish.
AFAIK the pod is just bobbing there forever. It's just meant to be an initial home.
Which are the best seamoth upgrades
>>342934253
>>342934014
If you deconstruct a locker, everything in it is gone.
>>342933973
Looks like it from the concept art.
>>342934442
I love the whole spooky, ghostly graveyard feeling of it. Especially with the bioluminescent, gelatinous nature of the fauna down there.
>encounter the ghost leviathan
>yfw its agressive
>>342934613
>yfw it just causes halucinations
>>342934613
they pretty much are graveyards in real life. full of mummified crabs and sea life that accidentally wander in.
I like that floor walker suit
>>342934365
Sonar is worthless, defense is mandatory to get the cheeky aggressive fucks to go away, depth obviously, the armor, and then the last is whatever you want since I never found a use for em since sniping the leviathans is pointless since they patrol areas you only ever go to a couple times at most. Take the repulsion cannon and combine it with the seamoth defense to ensure safe looting. I usually bring 3 upgraded oxygen tanks, 4 batteries, 1 power cell, flippers with faster swim speed, rad suit, signal thing, compass, thermal blade, seaglide, welder, builder. Mind you I only bring the compass so when I'm going on resource runs I don't stray towards the aurora since that's a waste of energy because there's nothing worth looting.
>>342934835
It'sin the game now.
>>342932407
Do you want the fucking game or not cunt?
>tfw been playing this game for over two years now
>suddenly on steam sale it's started to pick up steam (hue)
>feels kinda like having to let your baby sister into your boys only club house
>all the threads about it are positive in nature and it's fun to see a lot of people enjoying it and making the game better
Feels bitter sweet man. Think I'ma restart my file
>>342935194
That's my steam id dude
>>342935348
I forget how I found out about Subnautica but I took to it really quickly.
>>342935382
YEAH I FORGOT TO ADD YOU
How does this game run better for me on High settings than on Low settings? What black magic fuckery is this?
>no co-op
WHY
>>342934818
do not bully reefbacks
>>342935794
Reefback is confused.Reefback hurt itself in its confusion.
>>342907171
Everyone is posting their sick looking bases and here I am still scavenging for copper ore to make a glider. Feels bad man.
how many oxygen tanks do you carry? I've noticed at 160 seconds im slow enough for stalkers to never stop following me
>>342934969
>. Take the repulsion cannon and combine it with the seamoth defense to ensure safe looting
what
>>342936218
One high capacity one, combined with the seamoth there is very few worries for basic exploring.
Always pack more for cave shenanigans though
>>342936301
I'm sure he was saying "have the repulsion cannon in tandem with the seamoth defense grid in order to ensure your safety while looting"
>>342931785The what now?
>>342936347
Just made the repulsion cannon, it's pretty awesome, sent a stalker into the sky.
It can't kill anything but flora + tiny fish right?
>>342910310
Dude I think she want's the D.
>>342910310
Mygf_thinks the game is pretty cool too, she acted like she wouldn't be afraid playing it, but freaked the fuck out when a sand shark ambushed me from behind
Reminder that if you don't build your base at 300m+ depth you're a pussy and you should be eaten by a Reaper Leviathan.
>>342937707
>Deep base
how do you make your base like that? I don't want to lose mine.

What the fuck
>>342907171
so what do you even do in this game
i think i'm gonna stick with empyrion and 7 days to die unless u tell me 4 good reasons to play this instead
>>342937835
>how do you make your base like that? I don't want to lose mine.
I haven't lost mine yet and I got these electric eel motherfuckers around. All I had to do was basically:
>build cyclops
>put shitton of lockers in it
>stuff all the lockers with titanium and necessary building components
>go find nice spot 300m+ down and shit out your base in no time
>reinforce it if you think the hull won't sustain the damage
>put down a growing bed with lantern fruit and biology plant for infinite energy
>done
It's pretty easy to be honest, just took time to gather everything.Haven't seen the Reaper anywhere close to my base yet, hopefully he never will find it :S
>>342938145
Did you make that empyrion thread with no replies?
>>342938130
Are you sure you pressed the save button before exiting?
>>342937980
Great fucking movie.
>>342938205
I meant this tracker. Hoe did you get it? It shows you how far your base is anywhere you go right?
>>342938387
It's a beacon, you can simply craft it with your fabricator
>>342938210
nope
it got no replies though? weird since empyrion seems vastly better than most of the survival sandbox garbage (though that's not saying much). granted, i'm only 5-6 hours into the game so i don't know if it's really bad when it comes to real content or multiplayer
but more than that i wish 7 days to die got real mod/workshop support so that i could create a custom map for it that's basically a big underwater base
>>342938387
Ahh my bad.
What this >>342938440 anon said
>put some creepvine in my tank for decoration
>lights up my entire base and much of the surrounding area
I feel like these things are just a tad too bright.
>>342922630
midget and dwarf here
>>342907171
Posting mine
>>342907431
Stalkers drop teeth upon biting metal. Make them bite scrap metal. You can also just bash into them with your seamoth and let them try to bite you. Nothing a welder won't fix.
>>342908505
Only as a forward base if I'm going around the Aurora or if I need to craft something and I just happen to be closer to that than my base.

why is this game so scary
>>342909717
Since this game updates fairly often and I keep needing to do new games, I just go for this option all the time so I don't need to bother with farming as much shit.
>>342911426
But... why would you even want to?
>>342915587
Guys, what should he be scared of?
>>342938959
You been down too long in the midnight sea
>>342939545
he doesn't know....
This game is so spooky I can barely play it. One time I didn't make it back to the escape pod before nightfall and I instinctively pressed alt-f4.
how do you get into the aurora? from the front or back?
>>342939806
http://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1467020794392.webm
night diving is comfy imo
how do i get drinks
i keep dying of dehydration
i need some bleach or whatever, but i'm in a crashed escape pod in the middle of the fucking ocean, what do they expect from me?
>>342940138
airsacks, pink fish
>Game switches to spooky music if you go down deep enough.
>>342939847
Also is there anything I should be looking for?
I just bought this game. Is there really anything to do in terms of creation?
I tried making a underwater fortress and it feels there's very little options to make in terms of customizing your underwater palace.
I've been playing on creative mode
>>342918338
Diver's reel is your friend. It sounds INCREDIBLY useless, but it has infinite length and it's the perfect thing for cave exploring.
r8 my seamoth
>>342940138
Catch an Airsack and turn it into 20 water.
Or grab some Salt and knife a large coral tube. Make bleach with these and then 40 Water with the bleach.
Or you can eat food that gives some hydration.
Or you can get some fruits that give some hunger and thirst.
Or you make a water filtration after finding the fragments.
>>342940138
Pick up salt (looks like a bunch of small rocks) and cut the big coral, then use those to make bleach, then process it into water.
>>342940165
oh, just eat them or do i gotta put them in the fabricator?
>>342940198
It really isn't a creative mode game. It's mostly about the environment and the atmosphere.
>>342940294
So what's the point of the game?
>>342939979
Game needs to be more realistic with night time being pitch black.
>>342940241
>>342940264
weird, i was getting salt and coral with the knife but i didnt see any recipes for it
i only played for a bit, i'll look a bit more carefully at things. i did get to build a craft so thats cool. i was too scared to lose it so i just saved and quit for now.
>>342940362
It's a survival horror game.
>>342940380
it is once you're in a cave or below 200m
>>342940398
Oh, guess I'll refund it then, nothing about the description or tags suggested that
Good idea, bad execution
>>342940468
>>Oh, guess I'll refund it then, nothing about the description or tags suggested that
>Descend into the depths of an alien underwater world filled with wonder and peril. Craft equipment, pilot submarines, terraform voxel terrain, and out-smart wildlife to explore lush coral reefs, volcanoes, cave systems, and more - All while trying to survive.
>>342934969
Seamoth Solar charger is literally unlimited energy. Dont even need to make power cells for it anymore
>>342915950
Just make it a rare/season event.
>>342940523
Nothing about this says horror to me. I expected minecraft underwater, aparrently I'm not really getting that. Glad I'm under 2 hours
You run out of water way too fucking quickly it's so annoying
>>342940468
>>342940592
is this an epic new meme?
>>342940362
>>342940468
It's an all alone and isolated survival game with the little creative side of it functioning as the endgame. Horror is there if you find the setting particularly spooky.
It is an early access title, there isn't too much between start and end game and not much to the latter. So those playing it now it's mostly for appreciating exploration and the atmosphere.
>>342940523
Granted, terraform is part of the description although they've been planning to remove it for a long time.
>>342940592
It's horror if you are afraid of the ocean, sea, water, blackness, or large creatures.
If you're not it's just a survival game.
>>342940634
It's easy to satisfy thirst though. But yeah it annoyed me until I figured it out.
GUYS HOW THE FUCK DO I GET SALT
>>342940657
What is there to really find in terms of exploration?
>>342940634
Yeah I just went back into normal mode. Getting food and water is just a tedious chore you have to constantly worry about and it doesn't add anything to the game.
>>342925637
I hope materials respawn eventually. I remember I used to constantly run out of quartz and I could never get enough. This was back when quartz was used for both rubber and glass though, so it's not much of an issue now.
>>342940230
better pic
>>342940741
Look harder.
It's white and small rocky crystal clusters in all biomes.
>>342940743
your own death
>>342940592
Try exploring anywhere beyond 100m depth. This game is horrifying.
>>342940743
It's the journey, not the destination. You want some crafting material so you go and get it. You pass through nice looking and varied environments, finding hidden caves that lead very deep and shit.
>>342940820
>>342940809
I don't find the ocean or deep sea remotely scary
>>342940820
>>342940859
it can be pretty spoopy
>>342940859
Then enjoy the sights and sounds.
And craft some shit along the way.
Okay, So I've got the radiation suit and a knife and plenty of oxygen tanks. I made a expedition to the Aurora but I couldn't find anything and barely made it back with enough water. Should I be looking for something? What's the next step?
Buying this since it's on sale
mistake Y/N?
>>342940948
Go to the front of the ship, find the ramp leading up and follow. Explore inside, you'll find things to pick up/activate. and bring a welder to fix the damaged reactor.
>>342941062
You tell us.
>>342941087
>and bring a welder to fix the damaged reactor.
What does this do?
>>342940859
thats pretty fucked up man
>>342941062
i just pirated it and it's pretty cool, and the dev roadmap seems legit. i dont like early access or survival sandbox games but im certainly tempted to buy it when i get payed for the updates and such.
>>342941062
Depends on how much money you have, and exactly what you're looking for.
>>342941140
Stops radiation leak. Progresses "story" so far.
>>342941187
I have too much and I'm looking for anything to spend my free time on
>>342941259
Unless you have no interest in survival and exploration and maybe horror if this shit spooks you and some base building then yeah, you'll get a reasonable amount of time out of it for its asking price.
>>342941140
Removes the radiation in the area, which is pretty useless since you will already have to craft the radiation suit to do it anyway.
>>342941205
>>342941352
Okay so that's pretty much useless. What's the fastest route to getting a craft/building a base though?
>>342941352
I just crafted the radiation suit and I'm still quite early in the game, haven't made a habitat yet. But looking at the crafting options it seems like it's somewhat of a positive given that you can replace the radiation suit with the stilsuit, right?
>>342941401
Get the materials for the Habitat Builder.
>>342941401
Swim around and scan the research boxes. The white rectangular things.
Also keep and eye out for ship parts/hulls/hatches sticking out of the ground. Scan those.
>>342941449
Yes the stilsuit is sort of useful. The water it gives you lowers your hunger by a bit while increasing health, so you need to eat if you wanna spam reclaimed water and not farm bleach or airsacks.
on what planet does the game take place?
>>342941570
Aurora, in the "not real" system.
>>342941570You're mom.
Fun game but holy fuck moving on land is fucking atrocious
>>342941650
The Aurora is the giant ship that you abandoned in a drop pod. It's that giant ship that you see when you first start the game.
>>342941726
Shit you're right.
Uh..
Fuck
>>342941570
>>342941650
>>342941726
>>342941783
Its just called Planet 4546B.
>>342941676
i wish there was more land or a way to make a raft or something so i could shine my flashlight into the water more places
>tfw last time i went camping with the family we were on my brother's boat at night and i kept turning on the flashlight into the water saying stuff like "something moved" "what is that?" "is that a face" until my mother started crying
good times
>>342939847
The front will blast open when the ship explodes.
>>342940176
The only things worth noting about the Aurora are the lootable chests, the holes you can weld shut and a Cyclops upgrade.
Just be careful about the crabs and other monsters.
>>342941140
Stops radiation. It's useful, since it means you can wear other suits without have to worry about radiation poisoning.
>>342941929
>The front will blast open when the ship explodes.
There is also a small opening underwater on one of its sides. You have to leave your seamoth to fit through the holes. Inside there is a room with Bleeders in it and the radiation leak you can fix.
>>342942119
I think the bleeders might of been removed? I mean, there were definitely there a while ago but after doing 3 or 4 new games I haven't encountered a single one.
Plus it's hard finding the hole if you don't know where it is and fuck looking for it when a Reaper can grab you.
I'm having a hard time collecting stalker teeth. I've tried feeding them fish and metal but it doesn't seem to be working.
Also I'm pretty hype that the game is now so populair and selling well on steam. This should speed up the developing process or at least motivate them right.
>tfw suddenly /v/ went completely gay for Subnautica after months of ignoring it
What happened?
>>342942348
>gay for Subnautica
does subnautica have a cock?
>>342942348
Steam Sales.
>>342942263
Try having a bunch of metal lying around when you feed it fish.
It will start collecting the metal parts and gather them to you, increasing the chances of a tooth drop.
>>342942263
You can provoke stalkers to try and bite the seamoth too.
Feeding them fish doesn't do anything, it's gotta be something metal. Teeth are hard to see though, it's entirely possible you're just not seeing them. Try luring them to a clear area and doing it in the day time.
>>342942263
In the right side of the Aurora (which you pretty much never have to go to), at the outer limit of the map, there's a spot where there's a lot of Stalkers and a lot of debris. I go and hang out there whenever I need teeth.
>>342908856
Uninstall your Realtek driver, then restart windows.
It will automatically reinstall the driver and the issue in the game will be gone.
That's how I fixed it.
What's the biome called with all the sand and quartz?
>>342914428
>Get out. OUT!
>not wanting this
Kill yourself.
>>342942348
One person got it on steam sale and shilled the fuck out of it free of charge.
>>342943063
9/11 was also an inside job.
>>342943063
>one person
there were dozens of us! DOZENS!
>>342943102
Not him but have you used the archive image search on new threads before? When it works anyway.
Sometimes you will get results that make you realize autism is a fucking powerful force. Some fuckers have been reposting the same threads for over a year.
>>342943213
Yeah and that doesn't mean it's a shill. People like to talk about video games they like usually, weird right? That you don't have to start hating every game after a certain point in its lifetime?
Is it pointless to equip the radiation suit if I'm wearing the rebreather? (I've fixed the aurora)
>>342943131
I wouldn't go that far but there's at least ones of us
>>342943393
Yes get the stilsuit
Is there absolutely nothing outside the "playable area"? have been going out north for around 10km and found nothing.
Just started growing potatoes, melons and that lantern plant thing
Do I gotta do/worry about anything here? For exmaple do the potatoes spoil if I dont harvest them?
>>342943427
There have been Subnautica threads for months.
The power nap update released not too long ago which inspired some discussion on /v/, and then it got on the sale, which prompted more popularity, and now I'm glad to say we have a daily thread it seems.
Can you complain for a break from the constant animushit and blizzdrones?
ok boiz
just started
pretty confused about finding just about anything
grabbed a bunch of stuff
dug under this rock into a cave
and this fish thing exploded near me
pretty spooked
any tips its night now
don't have any lights i don't think
>>342943427
eh probably more accurate
>>342943567
>its night now
Then go out and explore. Nighttime exploration is the spookiest, and therefore also the most fun.
>>342938127
They all live.
>>342919318
>>342917695
He knows where you live now
I'm so sorry...
Pretty spoop.
>>342943063
I'm still mad that no one except me called out the shilling in the most blatant shill thread I have ever seen. Like, I know /v/ likes to throw around the word shill a lot but this was just unbelievable.It was a Mighty No. 9 thread too.
>>342943903
He's so happy to see you!
>>342943903
I LOVE IT WHEN HE GETS OUT OF HIS ZONE AND DECIDES TO ROAM AROUND, ITS REAL FUN
>>342944034
How do you truly separate and spot a shill from just a misguided fanboy though?
>>342944156
you don't
