What's the use of the laser cutter? What kind of stuff does it open. The small square boxes lying around random wreckages? Also post moths.
Locked doors in wrecks.
That's it.
> Finally have enough to build a moon pool.
> Doesn't attach cleanly to the rest of the base.
I'm going to have to get creative with some hallways.
>>342948727
If you want it around in one way specifically, use hallway pieces to get it so the side with one entrance is the way you want it to be.
>>342948927
Is there a way to rotate things when you are placing them? Right now I just blindly hope the snapping orients things correctly which is really hit and miss.
>>342949075
Q and E should rotate place-able objects, like hallways. There's an onscreen hint when doing so.
>>342948515
They don't open cargo or anything? I've been using the repulsor to open the locke ddoors so if that's the cutter only function it's not really useful.
>>342949164
>Using the fuck-off cannon to open doors
Didn't think that was an option.
You open things like lockers/doors with the mouse click, not with Q/E.
>>342949150
Must have missed that somehow. Thanks, Anon.
Fuck this shit.

DUDE
Are reginalds less horny or something? My peepers on the other hand are fucking like rabbits and multiply like every goddamn minute.
Get like 2 stalker eggs and when they've hatched release them in an open area with good visibility. Then what you do is start dropping metal salvages from the surface down to the area where you released them. You have to repeat the process, so keep dropping them down from the surface. They will play with the salvage and drop teeth in the process. I used like you 8 metal salvages and just constantly went up and down to the surface dropping them. Shallows is a good area for this since you have good visibility and are close to the surface.
One last tip: I ''build'' a moonpool station in a sandy area clearing all the sand in the process. Then I deleted the moonpool again. You now have a huge square open area. Release the stalkers in there and drop the salvage in there. This makes looking for the teeth less problematic then it would be in a grassy area for example.
>tfw trying to get stalker teeth
fucking hell this shits annoying and it doesn't help that for some reason I can't find any hostile creatures at all, its like they are not spawning
>swam casually to the ship and fixed reactor as soon as I had a lead suit and welder
>made my main base in the crash zone
>made multiple trips to floater island with only a seaglide
>The only hostile thing I have encountered was a sand shark that I had hatched from an egg and then released next to my base
Not a single stalker
Not a single reaper
fucking nothing except that lone shark I released
>>342950048
can I not just drop salvage in the aquarium?
>>342950296
Nope, game won't even let you drop it in there.
Can you ''dock'' your cyclopse like you can your seamoth?
>>342950287
I got to farming Stalker teeth on stream and I think some people got bored.
Best reaction was when I was multiplying Acid Mushrooms in an external plantbed.
>>342950048
The ''play'' area for my stalkers.
>>342950387
Not yet. There's been mockups of docked Cyclops though.
>>342950693
I wish it took lithum to make enameled glass instead of fucking teeth, white teeth on white fucking sand
even the weaker predators can't handle the ocean
One day I will be able to make my base a glass home
I wish the quarts wasn't so rare for me, I have lockers full of titanium and all other stuff but can't find any quarts
>>342951496
what are heat signatures?
>>342951496

Got my salty little seamoth and my base is almost completely self-sufficient. I guess next I should venture out for the moonpool?
>>342951604
I always build my moonpool first because changing batteires for the Seamoth is a chore.
Finally! How many power cell chargers do you need to comfortably use this thing?
>>342951604
I miss my seamoth
The thing became a rocket to the moon for some reason and I have not seen it since
Imagine theses fuckers stalking you all game, not moving, just watching you, warping away whenever you get close, pushing their face at the windows of your base, teleporting behind you whenever you dive in a deep biome, you can't catch up to them, you can't hurt them, you have no idea what they want but you know that the only way to find out is to dive deeper into the abyss.
>>342952035
I fear what these designers do to themselves to make these creatures
>>342950048
Just dropping the Stalkers right under your Moon Pool works. They keep trying to gnaw the Seamoth and it breaks off teeth.
I haven't actually had a homegrown Stalker intentionally bite me once. A couple times by accident when going to the Seamoth, but other than that, they seem perfectly tame.

stalkers are temporarily tamed if they munch on something
so if they are always biting your seamoth it was allways be temporarily tame

Which mode should I play?
Does the cyclopse have any defenses? How do I prevent creatures from damaging my cyclops? For example the fucking reaper?
>>342954283
Cyclops atm in a super beast that can be harmed by nothing except the pressure of the deep.
>>342954282
Why survival, Anon.
Type of game interests the fuck out of me. Just got it and downloading now. What am I in for?
Anyone else build their bases in cliff sides and caves?
>>342954473
Not even by reapers?
Also I'm ready to explore far away lands, unlimited food yay. Where should I go first now that I have my sub?not going to the fucking aurora
>>342954781
>Cell Chargers on Cyclops
Why does this seem like a bad idea?
>>342954781
Reapers can't damage the cyclops, but they can push it.And they love to push it to crush depth.
>>342954781
Go to the southwest, find the cave with the Crabsquids in them, and from there, go to the Lava Zone. Hope you have that ultra pressure compensator son.
>>342954282
Survival. There is very little to the creative mode game.
Would recommend against hardcore as well because you can get a few bullshit deaths while you're learning everything.
>>342954859
At the moment you're actually getting more power back than you're using to charge it.
>>342954952
Is there a beacon for the crabsquid cave? I'm only getting bullshit beacons to lame caves.
So, what's this thing?
>>342955093
Just don't think about it.
>>342955118
No, but you'll know it when you find it. It's around the Sea Treader's path, which you will also recognize once you find it.
Is there a way to kill stuff other than that shitty knife?
Can I get a brief tutorial on what to do when I start the game?
I started and then ate some fish then ran out of water and died or something. This was last night before I went to bed but I guess I'll try again today
>>342955137
It's just one of the Flora.
>>342955227
Ram it with your cyclops.
>>342955227
ram it, get the electric pulse thing for the seamoth, orlearn to co-exist with your fish brothers
>>342955242
What kinda hazards do floating pods do? I haven't noticed.

Whatever you do, don't attach a floater to your seamoth and then enter it.
Horrible things will happen.
>>342955678
sure you are
>>342951049
That would make lithium useful instead of using maybe 10 the whole game.
>>342952035
gee that would be so cool and original
>>342956329
Are you kidding? Lithium is used for the reinforcement shit, if you are a builder that shit is cash.
so I built my home over a cave, and I found these in the cave
>>342956514
You don't need a lot of it to reinforce up high enough to where it don't matter.
I don't know, I kinda agree that stalker teeth are kinda acquired in a really weird way.

Only with some doors and it may be a bug.
You're outside your base when this asshole saunters up and starts punching the shit out of it.
What do you do?
>>342956739
Welcome to the lost river.
>>342956839
Right now you don't have any options.
>>342956839
Never ever.
So I found a pressure compensator in the Aurora, how do I put it on the seamoth?
>>342956949
It's for the Cyclops
>>342955242
Anyone have a list for all the monsters?
>>342957113
If it's in the aurora, no, it's for the seamoth.
And the seamoth upgrades are accessed on the left side of the seamoth.
>>342957142
There are no monsters. Just peaceful fish.
>>342956873
>all of the planned creatures and flora for The Lost River will be white and grey and skeletony and zombie-like
Gonna be one of the spookiest places.
>>342956949
I think it's for the Cyclops, not the Seamoth.
I'm having trouble finding the cooler biomes. I'm looking for the squidcave but I can't for the life of my find it. I only have some shit beacons that point like 1100m downwards so theyre not helping.
what did he mean by this?
>>342957334

Don't forget about what Devs are planning after they've finished everything up
>Few of the Devs have been tossing around an idea of a type of creature that wants to get your attention
>A sentient, intelligent sea-life that progressively and aggressively tries to make contact with you
>Dev's want a better explanation as to why there are no dead bodies on the crashed ship
>This new sea-life have taken the dead corpses of your crew to try and make contact with you

Why do the Devs want to make my Deep Sea exploration game even more terrifying when all we're given is a fucking swiss army knife
>>342956839
So like one of those pistol shrimp that creates a small air pocket underwater when it strikes, but fucking huge ?
pls no
How do you find all these biomes like the lost river and shit? I've been cruising in my sub for ages no idea where to go.
>>342958328
You'll figure it out, you're not dumb.
Take your time and stretch your legs a bit. There's no rush, anon.
>>342957984
They're not too terribly big, but big enough. And yeah they're based on the pistol shrimp/mantis shrimp.
>>342957812
You think that's bad enough? In the Sea Emperor's prison cave there are short vertical holes in the floor, octagonal in shape and connected together under the ground. Like a series of holding cells for smaller prisoners.

>early access
Should I bother?
>>342956873
thought that shit was going to be deeper, where is it?
>>342958503
Depends on how much you value your money/bandwidth and what your expectations are.
If you understand and seek the type of gameplay then yeah you probably get your money's worth of time spent.
What does the rebreather even do? I still died when I ran out of oxygen.
>>342950287
Yeah enemies and blueprint are the RNG part of the game. I had only one stalker and that behind the crash but the floating islands were infested with bone sharks.
>>342958791
Below a certain depth you consume oxygen more quickly, it lowers the amount of oxygen you need at those depths so you don't drown as fast.
>>342958894
Ah, right. So that still means I need to resurface? How do you stay underwater for long periods of time then?
any creatures that attack your base?
>>342958527
Lost River is 700-1000 meters deep.
>>342959035
those long ass tubes you can build, or making the better exploration subs.
>>342951523
Entrance to lava areas.
>>342959035
Seamoth gives you oxygen when you are in it, but I read that it will only have a limited amount in an upcoming update so you still need to resurface with it. The cyclops will have unlimited oxygen however, as it generates its own like the bases do.
You can also look for purple brain coral that spawn bubbles you can touch to get oxygen without going to the surface.
>>342958503
Yeah. You'll get a few dozen hours out of it.
>>342959035
seamoth or build a base
cyclops is shit don't bother

>>342959226
seamoth does not produce oxygen when it is out of power as far as I know.

>>342959226
>limited oxygen seamoth
doesn't that kind of defeat its purpose? why use it over the seaglide at that point? desu a better change would be to make it more of a power hog
>>342959598
not necessarily but eh.
Possible to have a seamoth without moonpool.
>>342959419
>>342959463
>>342959672
I think the idea was to make it a bit weaker so the cyclops is more relevant, they want the cyclops to be your home away from home and make the seamoth more like a temporary exploration vehicle.
I think it is fine, having to resurface with the seamoth every so often doesn't make it feel all powerful when you get it. I'm hoping it at least gives you enough oxygen to resupply 5 times or so at it until you have to go back up.
>>342959342
CURRENTLY you can go 1700 meters at the deepest. They're going to expand it after launch. There's an arctic biome in the works and we may be able to travel deeper to discover more about the Precursors and whatever evil they're up to.
Devs I know you are reading, make mp mode and make real money.
>>342958413
What's the story of the Prison? Tried Googling it and got a YouTube of some kid who couldn't get to the point of his theory on what the Prison is for or who made it.
Gist of what he said was there was a group of other explorers/miners who caged the Emperor there but all of their basis are abandoned too.
>>342958413
>tfw a mantis snuck into my fish tank and broke the glass.
Hate those little fuckers.
Can the knife even kill things? There is a fragment in the starter area constantly circled by three sand sharks and it feels like the only thing I can do is make one of them fuck off for 10 seconds at which point one of the other two tags in.
>>342959807
The cyclops is a pain in the ass to maneuver or take anywhere. The glare makes it nearly impossible to see outside from the cockpit.
>>342959897
yeah you can kill things with the knife

How many days does it take until my escape pod fucks off and leaves me without a fabricator? I'm on my third nite and I've almost built every tool, an OC tank, and some flippers. I have five containers under my pod filled with random shit I've found in the shallows. What's my next step so that I don't die?
>>342956932

You have plenty of options to tell anything in the game to fuck off.
>>342960025
They're not nearly as good as the seamoth, desu.
>>342960032
>How many days does it take until my escape pod fucks off
Does it do that? I'm on at least day 20 and its still their.
Also why is silver so goddamn rare.

Build a welder and repair it so the gravity tether goes back online and it stops drifting.
After that you're good because the pod never goes anywhere.

Sorry i dont have the game, so i wouldnt know but i would imagine that you are talking about real life?
>>342959854
According to what I know/have heard, there are some previous maroonees that built some base sin various areas as they moved from the Mountain Island into the depths. Three people, I think they're a mom dad and son. The parents started doing experiments on themselves and transformed into the Warpers, being influenced by the Precursors to do so; the son built a weapon to fight them with but he accidentally shot down the Aurora. Either the Warpers or the Precursors then kidnapped all the survivors, including the ones in their lifepods (all the pods have a section on the right side where a seat as located ripped away) except for you. The Precursors also captured and imprisoned a Sea emperor for who-knows-what reason, and you need to free it so it can help you combat the Precursors.
>>342959807
I'm down with that, plus the Seamoth can refill its oxygen inside the Cyclops.
>>342960220
They'll be implementing temperature as well, meaning you'll get fried if you're close to lava or in hot water spots. If the arctic biome gets in you'll also have to watch for hypothermia. I think they should do it for the places we have now, water gets really cold in the deep.
>>342960306
I thought that was barotrauma
>inventory is small as fuck
>shit doesn't stack
>>342960401
magnesium is refined from salt.
salt is littered about on the seabed floor in the safe shallows.
Crash powder is from the crash plant. Need to find a way to collect that and good luck. Crashes live in the crash plant and allahu ackbar you as a defense mechanism.
>>342960565
Well shit, I have crash powder and salt in my lockers. Time to repair my pod andeventually leave the save shallowsI may or may not have agoraphobia

?
>>342955237
Airsacks = water
That is pretty much the only tip you need.
>>342960824As long as you don't have Thalassophobia, you are golden.
If you like thermal power and bases in the depths, the Deep Grand Reef is an excellent location. 425-600 meters deep, an entrance to the Inactive Lava Zone, black smokers everywhere, lots of higher-level resources, and few hostile beasts.
>>342957812
Is this the Warper with artwork above? Seems like it fro mthe description. Did they say what said creatures want? Okay, they're trying to make contact with you in a spooky way... but what do they actually want from you? I hope if they do this, there's something more than them trying to / ending up killing you aggressively making contact. Like there's some way to make contact with them and prove they're not aggressive on purpose? Get them to realize "oh shit, our preferred mode of communication is hurting/freaking out our new alien friend. Shit. No wonder he killed Bazzorp and Truborg when they want into the alien's 'den' ".
If there was some sort of way to interact with these sentients like that it would be best, with branching "paths". For instance, if you didn't try to make contact with them eventually, or kept doing things they disliked (maybe they locked away or banished some super nasty things, you let them out, they're pissed at you etc) and they'd become aggressive. Otherwise, you could learn/build ways to communicate with them and start working with them on campaign objectives.
Seems like a neat idea if they take it beyond SPOOKY.
>>342960842
Thats kinda cool i guess so did it just punch your tank cause it wanted out or what
>>342961082>Thalassophobia...Well, fuck. At least the game doesn't get any spookier outside the shallows, right? Going into those small caves is always a struggle because I don't know if I'll get lost and drown
how are those aquariums coming along
>>342961279
that and because they're assholes. You can keep them but you need a special tank.
>>342949471
Question, new player curious about base building. I just started building near the shallows and have started expanding downward in hopes of making a corridor to the deeper parts of the ocean to make my "main" base. But whenever I build downward my base starts springing leaks.
I'm assuming I need reinforcement plates, but I need to find lithium for that.. Which is in deeper parts of the ocean. So I'm kinda lost as to how I go about progressing. Any help would be appreciated.
what's the most hostile, useless place for a base?
I'd assume dunes or mountains
>>342961482
Hmm are they difficult pets and are the tanks expensive
>>342961610
I think some anon already mentioned something about building a base next to the rear of the Aurora.
>>342961279
This is a mantis shrimp. They're big, mean, ornery, and powerful. They come in two varieties: Spearers, who impale or slice apart prey with razor-sharp blades; and Smashers, who smash and crush through shells and glass. They attack with THE POWER OF THE SUN.
Here's a mantis shrimp in action.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U11DgbefmQQ
>>342961279
>did it just punch your tank cause it wanted out or what
It punched the tank, because it could. They are mean-spirited little pricks.
>>342960306
Not quite but if subnautica is successful it could open the way for someone to make it by billing it as "a darker gritty subnautica!" instead of just "some meme game made up on an image board"
>>342961242
It COULD be they're tossing an idea around of ANOTHER Sentient Faction on the planet?
Because another Anon explained that there are Precursors who made contact with a family and in turn the parents turned themselves into Warpers and started breeding and their son made a giant weapon to kill the Precursors.
>Seen here
>>342960502
But if Devs are talking about another type of faction maybe its these guys? Because the Sea Emperor is apparently our Ally so maybe another sentient group of aliens are trying to thank us and make contact with us for releasing their "god"
This is an entirely bonkers theory mind you
>>342961710
yeah but there's a shitton of scrap there and it's not like that's the only place with reapers
>>342961745
>Get punched so hard your arm falls off
>>342961745
Is the legs falling off a defensive thing or is it literally punching them off
Can someone break down progression for me? I went through the start of the game assuming that once I built an advanced wiring kit it would like.. Unlock more stuff for me to build, but I'm lost as to how to get to deeper depths without really building a permanent base.
>>342962174
Many arthrobods can shed limbs to distract enemies, they grow back. But the mantis also pretty much knocked its arm off, too.
When a mantis shrimp strokes something, it creates a cavitation bubble that, for an EXTREMELY short time, reaches a temperature five times hotter than the surface of the sun, then collapses and creates a powerful shock wave. That's what it uses to bludgeon prey to death and into pieces.
>>342962581
I thought only the pistol shrimp could reach those temperatures.
>>342962581
So if a mantis shrimp punches a human arm would it melt a hole through the skin or what?
>>342962807
Mantis can do it, too.
>>342962931
Heat doesnt quite work like that. Its like how you can touch a hot pan for a fraction of a second without burning yourself. Plus i dont think it would be as hot in air, because the air molecules are not as dense.
>>342962931
http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-03/jf/feature/
>>342962375
Progression is literally just explore as far as you can reach with your current means. Swimming through the shallows will lead you to blueprint fragments for equipment that you need to dive deeper.

its a beta
Was there a better way for them to do terraforming that wouldn't cause all the popin?
I understand why it has to go in its current state, but I'm going to miss digging sand tunnels.
Is there a way to craft guns in this game or does it entirely involve running away from every threat?
>>342948469
What!? You can colour those things?
>>342963898
Terraforming meant that the entire ground had to be made of millions of separate pieces, which is why there's slowdown and choppiness and pop-in.
>>342964025
le guns meme
>>342964049
you can change the color of the hull, stripes, and interior as well as the ships name via the panel you get by building the seamoth modification station
>>342964080
Anyone who isn't a mouthbreathing 13 year old want to chime in?
>yfw
>>342964154
Dev posted how he didnt want to involve guns because school shootings and ethics or something.
>>342964154
the dev is anti gun as you will know from reading any subnautica thread ever. There are stun torpedoes, a knife, and a stasis rifle that will freeze enemies though.
>>342964154
You can make a Repulsion Cannon or a Stasis Rifle to protect yourself. Otherwise your Seamoth shock upgrade is your best bet. Devs don't plan on putting actual guns in.
t. The mouthbreathing 13 year old
>>342964025
There's the statis rifle.
That's it
>>342964025
I don't believe you.
>>342964270
>Dudes who made NS2 are anti-gun
But that game was all gun, and if it wasn't gun it was alien stabby bits
>>342964428
Guns were used since that game released that hurt people though so they changed their views.
>>342964025
>>342964154
You get:
Torpedoes
Stasis rifle
Repulsion gun
Seamoth Defense System
Knife
The Exosuit with meat-grinding drill arms
And can do things like use the Propulsion gun to grab and toss things at other things
There are plenty of ways to deal with monsters without guns.
Hey guys I was thinking about getting this game, is there any other objective other than exploring? also how's the base construction, and is it randomly generated? sell it to me.

>working underwater
Isn't that a no situation?

>>342964270
This is the first thread I've come into
>>342964312
>>342964329
Gotcha, thanks for the heads up probably not gonna get this game if the Devs are bunch of spineless pantywaists I guess
>>342964428
There probably wasn't a lot of logic involved in the switch, just muh feels
How the fuck didn't you guys tell me this game was SEAAAALAAAAB
UNDERNEATH THE WATER
SEAAAAALAAAAB
AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE
SEA
>>342964671
at the moment there's scraps of story implemented, but it's not nearly done yet. base construction is comfy/10. not randomly generated at all, which is actually a good thing imo because it gives the devs the opportunity to make beautiful biomes that really outclass generated ones. I'd get it, bought it at the start of the sale and have already put in 36 hours.
>>342964270
Can I stab reapers to death after freezing them?
>>342965016
I guess you could, would take a lot of knives though
>>342964938
I hope the size of that leviathan or sea emperor or whatever they were called in the experimental is not the size they will be in the game.. Because they were really small. I want them to put in a fuck huge creature, a creature that could swallow a base almost.
>>342965159
Leviathin and emperor will be scaled up.
>>342964759
gunpowder contains an oxidizer it doesn't need to be dry or used in an oxygen rich atmosphere
>>342965074
Please don't tell me that this game has breakable equipment.
>>342965284
knives are breakable. everything else can be repaired or recharged though.
this is radical
>>342965284
Everything can break. You can build a huge base and it can be flooded completely.

Thanks, man. I really needed to hear. Not like I wanted to feel safe in my base or anything.
>>342965552
That actually can happen? Also where the fuck do i find those damn sandstones. I need sandstones. I am in the shallow plane, where you kinda spawn and built my base right beneath the lifeboat. Also, i hope they implement changing weather. Imagine a storm with fuckhuge waves. That huge moon should really make some fancy tides.
>>342965597
just don't build everything out of glass and you'll be fineunless a reaper has anything to say about it :^)
When will this game get finished?
It looks fucking amazing but I don't wanna play early access
>>342965894
supposed to be released in august but it probably won't be "finished" by then
>>342965516
what?
This game needs more sciencey shit to do under the damn sea
Needs to be like SS13 xeno biology or something to do when we achieve self sufficiency
Also a holographic map would be nice
>>342965992
there's a bug with the scanner room where ambient creature sounds disappear, though I think it might just be if you use the camera drone actually.
>>342965756
That's not a moon its actually another planet.
>>342966369
It's by definition a moon. Or you are it's moon depending on your point of view.
post spoops
>>342961487
Get the Seamoth and the CO2 rebreather and you'll be able to get plenty from the heat signature shroom cavern.
>>342961487
the mountain island is full of lithium too
>>342966580
Not without the pressure compensator.
>>342966464
I'm pretty sure they said it was binary planets
>>342966726
You can keep the Seamoth above 200m and just dive down to get the Lithium
>>342966980
I did not need to fucking know you could find those things in waters that shallow
>>342964931
That fucking theme is always in my head while I swim around

Should I build a base on the Sea Treather Path?
>>342967348
>not building a wall to stop the sea tacos
>>342957812
Fake and gay
holy shit this is by far the most terrifying game i have played in my life. Im about two days in and have a few questions
I want to make a base asap, what materials should I start hoarding? I assume I need to get all the quartz and scrap i can find, but how much do I need to get started?
aurora just exploded, should I have gotten in there and fixed it or is this just part of the progression
just how effective is this knife as a weapon? should I fight or flight when i encounter anything new? (im too scared to leave the starting zone)
Is this game procedurally generated or no?
>>342967769
Titanium and Quartz. Quartz is a total pain in the fucking ass.
Honestly, just go into it blind. The terrifying factor never goes away, so just be brave and explore deeper.
>>342967769
you're right with the quartz and titanium, you need to make the habitat builder tool to start building. Bases won't have oxygen unless they have power, so if you haven't made a scanner and found solar panel or bioreactor blueprint fragments yet you should do that first. Aurora is supposed to explode, you're fineyou can fix the engine room to stop radiationas for the knife, I generally use it for harvesting, it's not much use to fight, though you can if you want.
>>342968060
everything is handcrafted and not generated.
>>342967769
>quartz and scrap
that's basically all you need for a functioning babby's first base, if you want to build deeper you'll need titanium
part of the progression, you can fix it now that it exploded
knife is shit for killing
>>342967769
Gather a lot of both, and place your base at a comfortable depth close to places with resources and stuff, like the Grassy Plateau.
Part of the progression, you can't stop it, but you can go aboard to repair the engines and stop the radiation and get story progression and a Cyclops upgrade module.
Knife is useless outside gathering and small foes, though you can upgrade it to heated to cook fish you slice.
>>342968060
As of now, no. There might be randomization in the future.
How do you find anything in this game? Where's all the cool caves,sea traders and stuff? All I got so far is the heat signature leading to the shroom cave.
>>342956358
Endermen are very easy to combat though, you just look at them and they get aggro'd.
>>342967769
Well step one is getting the seaglide so you can get around without worrying about fish attacking you because your too slow.
Your going to want to build the tool to make a habitat. Your going to want to get silver, lots of it from the red kelp zone
Aurora is supposed to, you cant enter it before it does.
dont try, wait tilll you get the seamoth and just start ramming shit.
>>342964808
>This is the first thread I've come into
Why are you telling lies on the internet?
>>342968236
you can find a bunch of signals that lead you to cool places in boxes by the aurora wreck, but if you just explore and go deep enough you'll find things.
>>342968360
I think he means subnautica thread specifically anon.
>>342968302
Even when they're aggro'd they're not even a threat seeing as they will often warp themselves outside their aggro radius.
Give them a ranged attack and have them warp when you get into range and they would be asshole #1
Can a 1070 run Subnautica at 1440p 60 fps?
>>342968494
>I think he means subnautica thread specifically anon
I know he means subnautica threads specifically, anon.
>>342968693
Probably
Frame rate will shit the bed when it loads assets unless you have an SSD though
>>342968693
I'd say very likely, that said the video card doesn't even influence performance that much, if you have an SSD put the game on that because the main performance issues are related to transfer speeds etc
>>342968236
Cool shit is deep. Pick a direction and stick to the sea floor.
>>342961487
Cant you make bulkheads to help with things like that?
>>342969098
bulkheads also give base hp yeah
I feel like alot of people are overrating this game, aside from boring ass collecting there's really not a whole lot to do.
Man, I need a new rig. Even on minimum settings the seafloor constantly has clipping issues.
>>342968494
I've allready looted the entire Aurora and it's surroundings. All I got were 3 cave openings signals all at about 1100m. Which just seems silly at this point. Did I just get unlucky?
>>342969283
It's still in development, the story isn't completely in yet.
>>342969330
that's the game's fault, not your rig's
>>342969364
I found like 10-15 signals for all kinds of stuff around the aurora anon, maybe check again.
>>342969519
It's spoopy there dude.
>>342969364
>>342969519
I should also mention the crash zone itself is fuckhuge, if you don't mind spoilers see the map for reference
I AM PANIC
I WENT INSIDE THE AURORA WRECKAGE AND THEN I FOUND AN ENTRANCE AND IT STARTED SHAKING AND NOW THE WATER IS DARKER AND I HEAR HIM HELP ME WHAT DO I DO

Is there any use for the grav balls?
Seems they only work in the area when they are rendered along with fish for them to grav to.
But it's simpler to just swim and catch fish.

>underwater base springs a leak, water floods in and slowly fills the entire base while you frantically try to plug the leak and prevent drowning
>outerspace base springs a leak, everyone is dead before they realize there is even a problem
>>342970650
Build a radiation suit and a seamoth so you can get to the ship. Make sure to take a welder, you can fix the radiation leak and it'll open areas to you so you can use better suits than the radiation suit.
>>342972039
Okay then thanks. I'll mentally prepare for reapers ;_;
>can't catch these and fill an aquarium full of them like a jar full of fireflies
these devs are cruel
>>342972137
Most historical undersea labs were ambient pressure though. They would leak bubbles out but not let water in unless the hole was pretty large.
>>342972279
>try to make an aquarium of floaters
>base fucking explodes as soon as you put one in
Two hours into it. Radiation Suit online, multiple storage lockers just chilling outside the escape pod. Good supply of cured fish and disinfected water to keep me hydrated (STAY HYDRATED!). Have the knife, and first level contraption thing that makes getting around faster. Also have a welder (damn near died trying to get it) and repaired the escape pod.
What to do next? Look into getting the underwater base up?
>>342972105
get lithium and titanium and build hull reinforcement plates. keep an eye on your hull integrity each time you add a new module, it pops up at the top left when you build stuff
anyone here watch MagzTV subnautica videos?

no multiplayer, no buy
>>342972373
This one fucking stalker keeps getting stuck in a juncture of 3 tunnels and causing rapid damage
>>342972363
you could repair the aurora like the other anon in this thread, or build a base, or look for seamoth parts so you can explore more, you have total freedom
>>342972363
if you haven't unlocked any type of generator, wait on bases
>>342953051
that is one sexy seamoth
>>342972363
Yep. Find the water filtration machine, the moonpool and the seamoth blueprints
Remember when Jacques Cousteau built an irl undersea base and took a parrot down there? And they fuckin smoked in there and drank wine. Sea frogs
Is it true that if you don't move the reaper can't see/hear you? Like a fucking T-REX or something? So in theory this coud work:
>reaper sees you
>instead of running away and panicing you just sit there
>reaper can't find you
>>342972470
I went to the Aurora but couldn't really figure much out at the time. I found a few Seamoth plan/parts but had to bail out. Was before I had the propulsion device and spikey red coral had just tagged me.
>>342972576
he better have a nuclear reactor for that filter
>>342972461
well, build bulkheads to compartmentalize your base, so not everything gets flooded

Thanks anon.
Also thanks to the anon that pointed out making a scanner room breaks all creature sounds, for almost 20+ hours I've been going around thinking the current version was just bugged.
Fixed the bug by removing the scanner room and goddamn crabsquids sound great.
It's also nice to get an audio warning about nearby Reapers.
>>342972721
Do they auto close?
>>342972746

>>342972596
False. Once it sees you it will go after you until you exit its aggro area. Hiding inside something can also help make it go away.

Gotta love how you people take minor negatives and post them out of context simply to troll and try to make people not interested in a game.
It does have nothing to do with consoles, it has to do with the ground being made of millions of separate pieces which is why there's so much pop-up and performace issues and clipping and all other annoying shit. If it fixes all that then good riddance, I never used it anyway.
>>342972746
>will have to build around terrain now instead of having my base be compact thanks to terrain deformation

>>342972596
Are they attracted to nuclear power on your base? I've been wondering they ever interact with player bases at all at this point.
So do Reapers not spawn if you're surface level?
I just swam around the entire Aurora, because I fell off, and not a one spawned.
In other news I lost that upgrade thing you find at the top of the aurora. Was that important?
>>342972978
>with a depth of up to 30' in a protected setting
that's not gonna cut it
>>342973265
Don't build on the absolute bottom then. You can have a base that hovers between the bottom and the surface.
>>342973313
They will be implementing creatures attacking yiour bases depending on various criteria as well as base defense systems in the future. Hopefully Reapers come a-knocking if you use the nuclear reactor, since they are attracted to radiation. And you also have to deal with the spent uranium rods, which will likely be radioactive and need a way to dispose of.
>>342973332
Same shit happened to me, I swam around the rear of the aurora and the Reaper was below the thrusters
>>342951496

Suck a cock shill. I kid, you're not a shill. You're simply a dumb fanboy, which is arguably worse, because you're doing it for free.
>It does have nothing to do with consoles
It absolutely fucking has. The saves are simply too big to be used in consoles and steam cloud. Which is not a problem for PC (the save weighed around 1.5gb in my case).
>Will it improve performance?
Sure. Completely gutting a core feature they spend a couple of months developing will probably help this terribly optimized mess. It would be the last place to start though, optimization wise.
>>342973454
Waiting on multiple ladders stacking so I can literally climb from surface to 500m
>>342973578
do I need to make a new save for that?chance of losing save?
>>342972746
I'm genuinely happy about it, because placing some assets like moonpool caused serious terrain gore for me.
>>342973696
titanium ingots are specialty items, not a way to save inventory space, only make those when you need them, you need to hoard quartz and titanium
>>342973696
titanium is always useful, quartz too.
>>342973739
it was either that or a pressure mod for the seamoth which is no big deal
>>342973884
but you can stack ladders
What I've seen from this thread, this is a minecraft-esque crafting game that's underwater. Right?
>>342973803
I kinda figured if you want an aestheic base and want to build deep you're limited to slow ass bio generators, heavy maintenance nuclear energy or have to build a thermal close to a lava pit.
Having energy beams flying everywhere looks like shit.
>>342974031
>seamoth pressure mod
THAT
also how do I get another because I have an objective at 300m below
>>342973959
>placing some assets like moonpool caused serious terrain gore for me.
Or rather, only moonpool.
Because it's gigantic and the terrain flattening sucks (the range is too big).
>>342973621
What if I'm swimming and decide to enter the place?
>>342974134
you got me on 2/3 of those, the closest thermal vent is miles away. I was probably going to have my "bedroom" on the surface and just put solar panels on that
>>342974134
Biogen is alright for me
I have a Regi farm and just throw them in from time to time
that + solar for an extra boost is enough
not near any thermals and Nuclear is too risky
>>342973996

fuck so ive been turning all my useful titanium into useless ingots? how do you get more inventory space for all that shit without a base or 10 floating lockers
>>342974180
I got some terrain gore from the foundation and multipurpose room too. Though in that case I was kinda asking for it. Also the performance is so fucking bad for me since I use a mechanical hard drive for the game right now.
>>342974134
>>342974318
step1: breed rabbit rays or reginalds
step 2: build loads of biogens
presto, infinite power. They're not as useless as they seem.
>>342974176

About that
>>342974301
You get a visit from the feds.
I never played subnautica long enough to fuck around with terraforming, can't say I care since I didn't buy it to play underwater minecraft but to deal with the elements.
next update's gonna be exosuit right
>>342974413

>>342974543
You can build underwater bases in Minecraft anyway, there is just little reason to aside from supporting ocean temple raids since other than that there is basically nothing down there

>let me throw memes and /v/ terms at you while flailing around because you disagree with me!
Like a lot of things in a lot of games, they tried something, discovered it didn't work well, and took it out. You'd be surprised at how many games lose features because of many reasons. Stating that fact isn't being a "shill" or "fanboy".
>if it's not completely and utterly random all the time it's not worth playing!
If it's not a game you personally won't enjoy then fine, stop acting like everyone else in the world should hate it and be offended by it.
>>342974805
Have you scanned the fish?
Scan them, snag them, "craft" them.
If you have salt laying around even better.
Well, this thread convinced me. Any tips for starting out?

How do I deal with these fucking assholes in the kelp forest?
I try to go round up some silver/gold and creepvine shit and I end up with like 7 of these fuckers chasing me.
>>342974935
the oxygen meter updates in 3's not every second, knife is used more as a tool then a weapon
>>342975039
But I mean, if you're still allowing people to kill things but just not with guns, are you really making a statement.
All his exclusion of guns demonstrates is gun control doesn't work because people will just use knives instead.
It's literally going against his intention.
Can't fucking wait for these next 2 months to be over. Subnautica getting a big patch and Starbound hitting 1.0 will give me plenty of shit to build.
Haven't tried Starbound since initial release, even if it's shit there will be at least a little fun for a bit. Hopefully mods as well. Haven't played Subnautica since December.
>>342974805
you can pick up small fish by getting close to them
>>342974935
explore lots but not before you have at least a seaglide.
>>342975202

if you don't have a seaglide, run from them, if you do you can outmanoeuvre them

I've been listening to the Interstellar OST while exploring the ocean. It's funny how ocean exploration and space exploration have so much in common.

you could make beacons
>>342976101
I put down one of those scanning rooms and now the wildlife doesn't make any sound. Any way to fix it or do I have to restart?
>>342976204
The issue with beacons is if you have more than like 3 your fucking screen is filled with them since the icon/name takes up 10 percent of the screen.
How's this game?
>store page says it has controller support

I explored that place back and forth and never found anything more threatening than a biter.
Am I missing something?
>>342948469
Why didn't you wait till it comes out of early access
>>342977289
Think it's that the lack of sight, never knowing what is just out of range, combined with the fear of running out of oxygen, is a pretty potent mix.
>>342952754
wut gaem
>>342977613
the variant of the biter found there is actually called a blighter and looks slightly different, also it has ampeels and crabsquids
>>342977690
its fun
>>342961610
There's a seemingly endless dropoff near the seatreader's path that has reapers and sand sharks fucking everywhere
>>342977565
Doesn't matter. Too spooky
>>342977690
we get cute fish this way
Why are so many afraid of spiders and water?
I dunno why anyone would unironically want guns in this game, the whole point is that you are powerless to your surroundings.
the stasis rifle is perfect because you have a way to temporarily defend yourself but you are still scared shitless at whatever you're running from.
Still debating getting this game. Still on the fence. Because it sounds like Amnesia: Ocean Edition to a degree. And that annoys me. I'm the sort where I tend to start thinking of how to improvise defenses and removing things that threaten me, and so the sense of helplessness gets artificial and annoying if it's forced.
>>342955765
I think you ran them over dude
>>342978009
You have plenty of defensive options at your disposal, torpedoes included.
>>342978009
it's more of a survival base building game that happens to be scary than a horror game.
>tfw battery chargers in first two hours of new game
>>342977947
Because that's the first thing any logical person would build, a gun to protect theirselves.
If you're playing a open world/survival game and you can't do anything a person would normally do in that situation, it's just boring.
Plus you just knife everything instead of using a gun so the message is that gun control doesn't work because people will find alternatives, which was the opposite of the authors intent.
Rate my base
>>342978269
it floats?
Where do you find copper?
Ive made 1 or 2 batteries so far but have no idea where i found the copper for them previously

Thank god, last time I played I barely used my submersible because I didn't want to waste my precious batteries with pointless running around.
I do the same thing in RPGs with elixirs and consumables.
>>342978468
Never.
i really wish gold wasn't such a waste of inventory space
>Playing this and The Long Dark
>>342978468
is there any point to it? it's cool, but I never found anything digging in the sand
>>342978265
no, guns would make it boring because then you could just shoot all the big monsters and go wherever you please. weapons I'm the game currently are great and I wouldn't want to change them at all.
>Can't find any Moonpool frags around the aurora
>the one area I think they might be the reaper roars when I get near
>don't know where else to go.
Think I'm above lava pools @ my base, no idea where to get moon pool so I can go down.
>>342978325
Yeah
>>342978371
You build one module on the seafloor. Then lots of vertical ladder tunnels to the height you want, then build from there. Then you can delete some of the ladder tunnels/the module on the ground.
>>342978468
I never used it. Think most people just used it a tiny bit to make a flat area for an autism base.
>>342978468
to remove plants growing through my floors
so that first heat signature is an abandoned base full with jellyfish.
How do I repair it???
>>342978492
They really need to cut the battery drain on the seaglide by, like, half. It's fucking ridiculous.
>>342955242
Imagine sticking your dick in a barnacle sucker.
>>342978492
The Cyclops need power cells, but the Semoth can just suck off your base's energy directly with the moonpool.
So what is this game?
I know it's Early Access, but is just Deep Sea Threads: The Game?
How deep can we go?
>>342978468
did it once to add more space under the moon pool
>>342978668
I found moonpool in the giant tree area. Giant tree? Whatever they were. Huge towering plants about 200m down.
>>342978735
You don't, just gather the plot PDAs so you can read them in yours, and scan the bed while you're there.
>>342978668
moon pool is in that biome with the big tree things with the pancake leaves.
What should my goals be?
I just finished day 2 and the space shit blew up. I built a knife and a flashlight and more oxygen and flippers.
But when I get a fish to eat, will I always have to return to my pod? I suppose my big goal should be building a radiation suit so I can explore the wreck.
>>342977947
>scared shitless
>has stasis rifle
Faggot. Freeze your enemy and then knife it to death. That's what I do.
>>342978735
I think that's a bug actually, the temerature there is like 9 degrees. You can't fix the base, but if you go inside you can get some blueprints for decorations
>>342978889
Not him put there's a PDA in the locker in the bedroom and I can't grab it. Any suggestions?
>>342977248
Enjoy the dubstep
>>342978890
>big tree things with pancake leaves
kelp forest?
>>342978784
get those flippers that charge the batteries either that or press R then keep tapping W as it keeps your speed but doesn't drain battery power
Is it going to be possible to customize your character in the full release? Koreanfag's anime hair and it's shadow is getting on my nerves.
>>342963818
Do you have a building below that anywhere? I noticed it happened to a few people including myself, that was my theory to the cause.
>>342978940
number one goal right now is def radiation suit so you don't cook while you go exploring. Just find some lead in limestone outcrops and cut the creepvines for fiber mesh. After that start looking for silver so you can make some computer chips and build your first base.
>>342978942
>knife leviathan
anon you are braver than most.
>>342978832
Never made it that far, was the winter sale so i had lots of shiinies to play. Spent like 10 hours on this and than got distracted and forgot about it til now.
At the time the lack of creatures respawning around your base killed it for me. Felt so dead and lifeless after I ate everything.
>>342977927
>>342977927
It's in our genes. If we all adapted and lived in the fucking ocean we'd probably be scared of going on dry land. Spiders im not sure though, I think humans fear creatures that are really different then ourselves. Spiders are pretty unique in the way that they move and use their legs, also some spiders are dangerous so again genes.
>>342978940
build a base
>>342979102
Thanks. One more question, can I sleep?
>>342979021
no, bigger 50m high pylons with big pancakes the size of the seamoth for leaves.
about 200m down.
>>342966548
Hey mangot some change for the bus?
>>342979227
>200m down
BUT I NEED THE MOONPOOL TO MAKE MY SEAMOTH ABLE TO GET THAT DEEP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>342958503
The game is about done.
>>342979298
>scan
TOO BRAVE FOR ME
Alright boys, brainstorm time : how do we beat this guy?
Here's a rundown of what we know
>Found in the lava zone, way below any natural oxygen source
>Probably too deep for the Seamoth if he hangs out around the Lava Castle
>Not that it matters since if he catches it he gobbles it, doesn't even let you escape it like the Reaper
>Breathes fucking underwater fire
It's safe to assume he'll probably be able to attack your Cyclops and yes, he's aggressive by default.
>>342979318
the point is to park your seamoth at a safe level and make a quick dive deeper
>>342979106
>HE DOESN'T KNIFE LEVIATHANS
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, THEY'RE LIKE BABIES
>>342979421
Not pictured, the Aurora touching my back
>>342979318
just park your seamoth at around 179m not far from where you need to go
you shouldn't be in any real danger near moonpool fragments unless you're dumb,and last I bothered I didn't see any reaper leviathans there, just a fair bit of open water above me. Kinda spooky but worst you have to worry about would be that shocking thing and it's easy to avoid.
>>342979227
Thoses are mushrooms.
>>342979318
Nah, you get 200m with seamoth.
just cruise on over thereit's actually probably above 200m, I just know it's deeper than grassy plains.
>>342979432

I didn't want to say mushrooms unless I confused him with the mushrooms caves.
and are they mushrooms? they aren't all that mushroom like.
>>342979584
an area pertinent to your immediate interests
don't get too fancy until you've unlocked the cyclops because odds are you may wind up finding a better spot later and it's a real bitch deconstructing and moving everything.
>>342979646
I really want something that attacks with tentacles. A giant squid would be goddamn terrifying, having 10 arms suddenly spear out of the depths at you.
>>342979584
By the blood kelp biome, as there is a shitload of crystals there and you'll need all you can get for windows
>>342979716
>>342979546
>>342979526
This is what I found.
How the fuck am I supposed to get down there in one trip with 105 air
>>342979830
also last I played when you boot up a save you get messages saying no power/power restored for ALL of your bases, so you really just want one at a timeimoalso I'm under the impression creatures can't spawn at the start of a save game if you built a base near them. I'll need to test if this removes reapers.
>>342979916
Watch out for the sneks.
>>342979916
lol you ain't gonna find shit there but lithium and magnetiteand some sexy scans if you're at the holy diver signal.
>>342978827

>>342980061

THEN WHERE DO I GO FUCK ME

>concept art shows a female diver

just
>>342980117
I don't think I'd be getting very hard as it shreds my dick with all those tiny teeth.
>>342980170go west along the creepvines in that red valley thing assuming you're following the heat source signal and don't puss out due to the open water, you'll get to moonpool frags there IIRC
>>342979916
progression spoilers:
to get the seamoth to go deeperyou go to the aroura and find the pressure compensator which will allow it to go to 300m, but I did that base without it, you can get pretty close
also, try building some more air tanks.
also if you're the guy looking for moon pool fragments that's the wrong biome.
>>342979856
Wish granted.
I just bought this game, what should I expect guys?
>>342980337
but does it pull you in?
