It's fine for the Sea Emperor because it works well with the flappers, but it looks silly in the Sea Dragon with the more human(like arms.

There's the propulsion cannon, basically a gravity gun, you can grab and shoot these exploding fish at the others creatures, pretty fun. Dunno if you can kill a reaper with it but, still fun.

They going to remove the sand moving shit in a future update so you should be able to play when that drops

Fishes respawn eventually.

Build a room, put a tank in it, capture 2 fishes of the same species and put them in, they'll breed and you'll just have to harvest them whenever you feel hungry.

pipes magically suck air from the surface down to wherever you drag them

so they are essentially the significantly more useful, much harder to lose version of the diving cord

MP would be great but I understand why they cut it, it's too much of a hassle before the base game is even ready
>>
>>342996643

Pipes are useless.

They're for sprinkling oxygen sources around the waterm but there are corals that make bubbles you can absorb for the same effect.

For bases you just need power and at least one multi room and an entrance.

Might as well drop the pipes or stick them in a floating chest just in case.

Would be pretty fun to take an elevator from the surface all the way down, through lots of bioluminescent caves, down to the volcano castle cave. Where you'll have your geothermal plant and run power from it through cables alongside your elevator up to your base on the seabed.

Too bad that won't be possible when they remove terraforming.

>>342996931

No one is asking for a tacked on vs mode or anything, people just want the game as it is now (and will be as it improves) to be enjoyed with another player. Not a separate mode, just coop of what we have now.

Obviously the sun exploded and earth was launched out of the solar system by the force of the shockwave. Then it got caught in the gravity well of another star and wound in an orbit close enough to melt the icecaps and flood the planet. Duh.

rewatching the movie you can see that at no point is he able to just lie on the ground and stare at the stars to identify planets and shit

also, seeing as astronauts are chosen from military officers, pilots, and retired special forces, unless he was some navy navigator fuck he wouldnt be able to immediately tell at a glance if that tiny red dot was mars or that other ball was venus.

and presumably the atmosphere was also fucked by nuclear winter

>>342997092
If you're talking about Planet of the Apes, you should remember that the popular science fiction at the time was kind of cheesy and unrealistic. The public's immediate thought would be that the astronaut landed on some other planet that happened to have humans and apes on it in some convergent evolution thing.

Think Flash Gorden. That was the level of realism sci-fi had at the time.

Which is not to say that there was no thoughtful hard science fiction being made. War of the Worlds is quite hard.

So I have four questions:

If I pick this up and play it right now, will I be able to figure everything out on my own or will I need a wiki?

What's with some of the muddy textures in these screenshots? Lower settings or are some textures just lower res?

I heard they're getting rid of the reforming the ground feature, is that true and is that a good thing?

Is it worth buying at this point?
>>
ALRIGHT niggers, I just picked this game up, and I've just sort of been fucking around. What the fuck do I do to start? I'm kinda gimped because I can only exist around the escape pod.
>>
>>342999473
i had to look up some stuff but it was my first survival game so I didn't really get the "go find seaweed to make a knife to cut coral to make a battery" idea yet
>>
>>342999473
Yes you can figure everything out, just look for blueprints

It's early access and there's been major ordinance issues so high quality textures aren't a priority yet

It's useless and you'll never use it and when it's gone the game should have much better performance

Nah just pirate it, unless you REALLY like the idea of oceanic exploration

the pod is at a safe distance, make sure to get on top and watch the explosion

>>342999984
well the explosion radius isn't that big, you'll be fine at your pod

try to gather resources and make some tools, like a knife and a scanner. eventually build a base.

It's a solid game just be prepared for pop in, lag spikes, and FPS death if you're not running at least moderately good hardware.

If the slowdowns are happening when changing locations, install the game on an SSD and pray that your RAM is fast enough to handle all the loading

It's not as bad on an ssd, it's just the biomes loading in. On an ssd it's a slight stutter.

>>343001753
Grab Stalker eggs, grow a Stalker or two in a large Aquarium, release them under your Moonpool, harvest the teeth that break off as they try to gnaw the Seamoth. Or just release them somewhere nearby and give them a piece of scrap to play with.

Scan every blueprint container you see. Make a habitat constructor, use that to build a base. Put solar panels on it for oxygen. You'll eventually get Seamoth schematics; that one is faster than the Seaglider and good for bringing you into the scary areas that have Cyclop and advanced blueprints.
