how to get to koosh zone?

I'm right above mushroom forest

You have the fuck off gun and the stasis gun. Statis gun is pretty much all you need I think. Fuck off gun is fun though.

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.

Should've went full giant croco mode and have it hang out in deep caves with air inside.
>>
>>342983961

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.

I can't play that game any more. My computer freaks out and I can't get more than 20fps (dropping regularly to 4fps anytime there's something to load), no matter what graphics setting.

It is extremely legible, though. Nothing hard to read. Now see some of the books in Riven for a cryptic handwriting.

Is it possible to build some kind of fish hatchery?
I might be imagining this, but the fish population around my base seems to have decreased quite a bit and I'm a somewhat worried about sustaining my daily calory intake.
>>
>>342989509
They going to remove the sand moving shit in a future update so you should be able to play when that drops
>>
>>342989635
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.
>>
>>342989742
What, that voxel terraforming thing?

I hope not. That will seriously limit basebuilding options. No more building into the side of an underwater cliff. You'll need a large area of flat land.

isn't that what foundations are kinda for?

Just reinforce one wall. That often boosts you high enough to make everything else out of glass.

The game warns you with text in the top corner, every time you build an extra room/wall/door.

Do not tell lies, knave.

Subnautica is about establishing a Martian fiefdom on the unforgiving icemelt planet of... wherever this game is set.
>>
>>342996643
they can't attach to the rooms, they can only attach to the corridors
>>
>>342996643
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
>>
>>342996682
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.

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
>>

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.

Tips on farming Stalker teeth?
I can never tell if they just didn't drop one or it fell into the grass somewhere and I can't find it.

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.

I went troubleshooting online and the issue has existed since december. For the same exact series of card. How do they not address this in that time?

You're looking at shitty half-assed Early Access game. Unknown Worlds will keep releasing shitty patches until sales bottom out and people get bored.

Then they'll jump ship like they did with Natural Selection 2.

>>343008137
What kind of locker?
Generally, if it was built with the Fabricator then you can pick it up.
If it was built with the Habitat Builder then you have to deconstruct it.
>>
How come we can't use the fabricator to make a spaceship creation kit like the one we use to make subs? If you can make a cyclops you can make a spaceship.

Is this shit worth the 11 bucks? I hate buying Early-Access games but the setting and theme just press all my buttons. Are the devs a bunch of greedy jews who are gonna take the money and run?

So what are chances they are going to add something to the abyss?
>>
>>343012094
It'll grow anywhere that's inside, so long as you have energy. You can even slap one down in your Cyclops.

Is there a way to recharge the seaglide? I don't want to just make another one.

If you like story, no.
If you like base buildan and underwater exploran, yes.

Were cavemen not sapient or intelligent just because they were primitive? Sapient and highly intelligent doesn't strictly mean they're highly advanced. They could be a very young species.

I bought it and it's _fun
>>
>>343012172
It's worth way more than 11. I've gotten 70 hours into it, and I paid full price.

The devs add a shitton of stuff and update rather frequently. We get a new patch every month almost, which adds a variety of new things, optimization, and bug fixes. Right now it's about a 10-20 hour long game, depending on how much you want to get done, but it's only going to get longer as they add more end game content (we're only like 30% of the way to the planned goal).

I built my first base right under the lifepod so I could easily build all the necessary equipment and all my resources are in one spot.
Now I built the Cyclops which is basically a mobile base so I don't really see any point in building another base somewhere far off.

Find blueprints for the moon pool, then blueprints for the seamoth upgrade station. Then at the upgrade station use the mini fabricator to make seamoth upgrades

If the Fabricator doesn't already tell you what's needed to make something then it means you still haven't found the blueprints for it.
To get blueprints you first need to make a Scanner, then go looking for fragments of technology in all the various biomes.
They usually look like a white safe with no textures, exception being the Seamoth fragments which look like wreckage.

Do they have their memories and consciousness?

I experimentally bought this game the other day. It's scary and it only runs decently on low settings on my toaster. Still, I really like the concept. On the fence. :/
>>
>>343013239
You have all the basic base equipment (minus solar panels, the fragments of which are in the kelp forest) already unlocked
The rest of the stuff is just nice to have, but not necessary
>>
>>343013239
The Habitat Builder is available in the Fabricator by default but the list of things you can make with it is fairly limited from the start, so yeah you have to go around each area looking for fragments of technology to expand what you can make.
Their placement within an area is randomly generated but each area has specific types of technology fragments that can spawn in it.

How you boys think nomanssky will compare to this? Obviously one is procedurally generated and one isn't so it may feel kinda shitty in comparison.

Silver and gold come from limestone, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get from the limestone in the shallows.

Kelp forest (like 50ish meters depth, not bad) and look for limestone there, I got 5-6 silver and 2 gold in one 160 oxygen run. You need a shitload of titanium (don't make it into ingots like I did) and quartz/glass too.

everytime i go i get pooped on by manatees or bit by those barracudas. is there a safe way of getting there that i am missing?

This guy. They need to work on this guy and put him in. We need a massive beast that lurks in a burrow in the sea floor that erupts out to try to grab you or your Seamoth when you get too close. Smaller ones in the Grassy Plateaus, larger ones in the Dunes, with the biggest of all in a canyon in the Mountains. It could even be the one thing that can challenge a Reaper Leviathan.

Bring some metal bits or peepers to appease the stalkers if they are that bad. But just look for sandstone in general a sea glide and some balls can net you tons from the dunes

>>343021238
Avoid those them, manatees are slow as fuck, and/or bring a medkit.

i think it would be cool if they were the biggest thing in the game and didnt care about small frys like the character. only big subs and leviathans would be it's target

I wouldn't want it to be the biggest thing, but large enough to be a match for the Reaper works. And actually, that would be cool if it was more of a threat to the Cyclops than to yourself or the Seamoth, since at the moment nothing living can actually damage the Cyclops.

So I found 4/5 pieces to the seamoth in one location and can't for the life of me find the other.

Is there a chance that it's somewhere else?

At least the Rock Puncher is sticking around despite terraforming going away. Hopefully they'll make it one of the creatures that can attack your base on occasion. Just saunters up and gives it the ol' one-two. It could also do something similar to what the Sea Treaders do, whenever it punches a rock wall it has a chance to spawn some nodes.

are there any other games like this? like underwater survival/exploration?

Make a mobile vehicle station, deploy it and use it to build a sub.

I would play the survival mode though. Looking around and getting the upgrades and materials is part of the game.

Do I need to go over this again my good man? Outside of the area around WASD, you'll have to tediously reach over to activate a binding. On the Steam Controller, you'll have HUNDREDS of bundings all within a hands reach. Can you say the same?

The Seamoth just lets you move a bit faster and move underwater, along with not have to surface for air. The places you want to take a seamoth are scary as fuck except for the Mushroom Forest which is quite nice [s]except the reaper lev that spawns there[s/]

I noticed that some items are not available on your pod, so how can I build them? Also, how can I build a base? There was an abandoned base around 100m, but I didn't find anything worthwhile inside it.
