Old Subnautica thread died
you made a base in the Jellyfish biome, right?
Reminder that the crabsquid is the most horrifying thing in the game
https://soundcloud.com/kamakazi/crabsquid
>>343026787
I have a base near the jellyfish biome overlooking a big glowing pit
GUYS MY BASE HULL BROKE AND IT'S FLOODING WHAT DO I DO?
For the love of god, I need silver. I found a few pieces before, but now I can't find shit.
>>343028326
If it started happening after you built something, deconstruct that thing, then go around with a welder and fix the holes
>>343028326
kys before you die
That's the least gruesome end.
>>343028350
look around for sandstone
the kelp forests usually have some
why's this game blowing up all of the sudden?
one of my only real fears in life is the open ocean. For the first two hours of the game I was unable to leave the shallows and kelp forests. fucking hell
here's my base so far. How hard is it to find the seamoth blueprints? I can't find the parts anywhere in the grassy areas
>>343028326
weld it shut and make sure your hull integrity isn't too low. you will see a warning if it is
>>343028410
mine any rock in the kelp forests
>>343028452

>>343028452
On sale on Steam + got put on front page of Steam

>>343028452
I have no idea, but the game is actually really fun, so I guess it's not going to waste.
>>343028410
Ok, so I removed the bit I added on.
What's a fix to this next time? More of those blast door things that I'm forgetting the name of right now?
WHERE DO I FIND THE ALUMINUM OXIDE CRYSTAL FROM THE ESCAPE POD AAAAAAAAAH
How do I build a Sea moth? Where do I get the damn fragments? I don't want to be scared of moving at night anymore...
wait, all you people are playing this on VR?
>>343028586
bulkheads, reinforcements and foundations all raise your hull integrity.
also, the deeper you build the lower it will be
>game keeps on crashing
fuck me boys.
>cant cook Sand Sharks
Fuck
Just started building a base, what's the first thing I should start working on?
Also, what's the best way of powering this thing, and how do I get air in it?
>>343029027
>you will never feast on reaper steaks
>>343029091
Once you start powering your base it'll automatically get air. No extras needed. As for power, solar panels should keep you going for a little while
>>343029091
Make a fucking tank to put peepers and airsacks in. Holy hell having those resources there is so good
>>343029362
Tank like aquarium, or tank like >>343028519 's?
>>343029091
as soon as you get power, you get air. Solar panels are the easiest and less spacious way. Just stick two or three on your base and you should be fine as long as you don't craft too much during the night.
Build an alien containment tank and put air sacks and a good food fish (hoverfish, hoopfish)
you can also plant stuff in the tanks. keep in mind that Creepvine only grows to full size if you stack two containment tanks
Why are these gasopods so tiny?
What should I do with them?
>>343029091
I'd probably want a replicator, a couple of storage closets, 3 solar panels,
about 10 platforms, 3 all purpose rooms and 2 window corridors and a port.
so you need
72 titanium
22 Quartz
2 gold
3 silver
2 coral samples
>>343029980
the larger creatures are small when inside your tanks
Is there any downside to using the indoor planters in your base? Because I'm rolling in so much lantern fruit right now.
>>343030109
last time I picked them up they still took up a big size in my inventory
did they change that?
>>343028672
Woah what is that ?
>decide im sick of lugging around my rad gear
>go fix the aroura

>went out there without the Seamoth
madman
this game makes me feel so uncomfortable
>>343030569
Reaper leviathans spawn around the Aurora, Anon. Sometimes they can spawn in packs of 2 or 3.
>>343031236
All you need to know is that there is always something big and moving just outside your view.
As a guy who gets scared shitless when playing fallout and having to go into water, how high is this on the spook meter.
was there always a second blood kelp zone?
Anyone else having some debri floating above the ocean?
>>343031350
You will probably be petrified. There are vast, empty expanses of sand where these >>343030569 fuckhueg monsters can spawn.
>>343030994
I swam there because I have autism about losing my Seamoth or wasting energy
>>343031350
exponentially
>>343031350
>laughingreapers.jpeg
Got the game today. Only about two hours of work put in to it. Repaired the escape pod. Built a scanner, welder, knife, rad suit, fins, tank and a bunch of repair lockers. Made sure to get a good food and disinfected water supply. Feel like I've accomplished nothing.
Next time I play I'm going to put rainy mood on and listen to it rain and thunder while swimming around underwater.
>>343031350
there are several places where the water is so deep that you can't see anything but the surface and the darkness belowbut you can still hear the creatures around you
>>343031250
How do you deal with them? Im mean before the Pikachu Seamoth Upgrade. Dodge?
Those fuckers scare me so much that I've never fixed the Aurora and I have this game since January
>>343031350
9 spooky 12 me
>>343031429
yeah I have a jumble of chaos floating above the escape pod
>>343029980
>What should I do with them?
Burn for energy.
>>343031470
bet you wish you had it now
You guys have fun in the ocean, I will be exploring the skies
>>343031521
It's freaking me out. I keep thinking it's moving.
>>343031453
>>343031472
This sounds good. Looking at the pictures just makes me stomach hurt. I can't wait to see whats in store.
>>343031568
did you jump on a fucking bird?
If you guys are wondering how reaper's are appearing in shallow waters I think I might of found the answer to this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaIs0MXcefw
I fucking love this game, shit like this happens 10 hours in when I decide to see what a reaper looks like in person.
>>343031515
All you can do is try to dodge them or run away. They tend to circle around you before they charge after you. I remember when I was out in the sandy expanses and had one of them spawn on top of me. I ended up ramming my seamoth into a coral tube and waiting until it had despawned to come out.
>>343031515
Hit the throttle at fullspeed. They are fast enough to catch you but you should be able to get out with only a hit or two before you duck in a hole and hide. Throwing torpedos at them might discourage them or if you are good with the statis rifle, you can headshot them to freeze them and run.
>your guy actually puts his hands out to dive when you jump from something
neat
Are reapers aggressive in creative?
>>343031417
anyone? i don't remember it
>>343030569
I thought I managed to slip in and out without encountering one until on the way back one spawned in the sand right in front of me. I sped away so I assume it was stuck back there. Fucking broke ass game.
Did get some chargers going and start setting up a little cabin though so I'm starting to settle in. Last time I played this was before they added the battery chargers and I gotta say this is a much better experience.
Is this game supposed to run like shit?
I JUST FELL THROUGH THE HATCH IN MY BASE AND IM WALKING AROUND THE SEAFLOOR WITHOUT USING AIR
I CANT GET BACK INTO ANYTHING AND GETTING ONTO LAND DIDNT FIX IT
The game thinks I'm permanently in a building or something.
Guess I just have to let myself starve? Sharks aren't aggroing on my either
>>343031876
meant for >>343031678
>>343031453
Crabsnakes are scarier than Reapers
>>343031893
now's your chance, anon
go explore the deeps while you can
>>343031893
Use it to your advantage to freely explore everything, then die of starvation.
>>343031893
Walk to the bottom black oblivion and tell us what you find
Where are the Cyclops blueprints???
AAAAAAAAAAAAAI don't know what else to do, I already built as much as I could to my base and I can't explore that deep yet.
>>343031893

warpme
You'll be back in your base. That will probably fix it.
anyone have the latest map?
I'm scared as fuck of the ocean so this game is stressful to play and I don't go very far from the initial start point. How big of a pussy am I?
>>343032091
A lot of people seem to be saying similar things. I still think you're a bunch of cowards. Granted, I scuba dive for a living so it's hard to really say I'm unbiased.
>>343031893
Hello darkness my old friend.
>>343031559
no I made it back to the lifepod for a breather with my handy scooty-glide jr.
also my shit temp base
will build a better once once I get a moonpool set up here
maybe in the jelly caves but I want somewhere deeper and with better access to the north of the map
>>343031890
Give it two more updates
>>343031350
If you're scared of empty fallout water you're going to be petrified by this game and the spooky ass sounds the fish make. Don't get me started on the reapers and assorted nasty fuckers
>>343032027
mushroom forest farthest from the aurora for hall and deck
floating islands for engine
>>343032030
This just crashed my game.
>>343032091You're not safe in the shallows >>343031683 can happen at any given time and your safe shallows will become a reaper haven.
Alright, pro-tip. Get your scanner asap. Then travel south of the ships engines until you find the island. Scan everything you can find, but especially the indoor planters. Grab some fruit on the island(im using lantern fruit atm). Now go back to your base, build a few planters, plant some fruit, and don't worry about food or water again. Dunno about the other fruit, but lantern fruit adds to hunger and thirst, and seems to be growing pretty fast.
>>343032027
>Where are the Cyclops blueprints???
I found a bunch of parts around the Mushroom forest
I'm glad reapers don't attack the cyclops. Makes exploring comfortable.
>>343032204
Why is that?
>>343032150
>scuba dive for a living
What job is that? It sounds comfy as fuck
we need more mid level baddies
more huge guys is nice but more large but not mega huge enemies would be nice
like slightly smaller than reapers
that or I'd like a wandering giant that patrols a huge span of the map and fucks up your base occasionally.
>>343031845
YOU WAIT ONE NIGGERING SECOND
WHEN DID THEY ADD FURNITURE?
I haven't played this game in a while but this changes fucking everything if that's already implemented.
I have super autism for games that let me do interior design stuff. As much as I loathe the term 'comfy' as a descriptor for a game, it's just the most comfortable shit in the world to create a little safe haven for yourself and style it to suit your tastes.
>>343032410
They will be removing terraforming. I don't know the technical parlance to explain properly why that will improve performance, but it's just less shit that the game has to deal with.
>>343031964
Is there anything on land?
Considering making a "how to build a cyclops within the first hour of a new game" video for noobs.
Y/N?
>>343031515
just try and hide from them
>>343032579
Yes because i need it
>>343032565
depends on which land you go to
>>343032196
My base is above water
Im gonna make a base in the jelly cave next
>>343032579
alright but part locations are semi-random
you just have to explore and they are easy to find
why do people play this then never leave the shallows to explore?
How do I make a base above water?
>>343032438
Miscellanious. I live on Lake Superior. Hauling up Trucks/Ice Houses/Snowmobiles that go through the ice.
Teaching others how to Scuba.
Working with the local aquarium to clean/feed tanks.
My technical "job title" is Scuba Specialist for the town of Superior and townships therein.
tl;dr I'm a city worker who's scuba certified and does whatever the city tells me to do when they're too big of pussies to get in the lake
>>343032542
Hope so. I'm tempted to just refund it for now.
I won't be upgrading my rig anytime soon and this is unplayable.
>>343032451
you have to find furniture and scan it, you don't start with any
I like this though, it rewards exploring
>>343032675
Because they don't want to die and outside of a crash oiling that asshole up the shallows is generally a safe place.
>>343032579
Fuck yes, send me the link if possible.
>>343032705
>Hauling up Trucks/Ice Houses/Snowmobiles that go through the ice.
are you fucking superman
submarine moonpool when?
>>343032705
Anon, you're a real life action man.are there sharks in the tanks?

>encounter the reapers around the Aurora
>just avoid them
>think to myself "what was the big deal"
>exploring some dark deep zone with the seamoth hours later
>a reaper facehugs the seamoth completely out of the blue
I think I actually had heart problems for a while
I don't usually react to jump scares but holy shit
>>343032802
No, just the suicidal maniac that jumps into 34 degree water and only has a rope for an means of living to the next day.
I have to go under the 2 foot thick ice sheet and hook chains onto whatever the fuck I'm hauling. If you can't find the hole you're supposed to surface in, you drown.
At least it pays well.
honestly this location is pretty comfy and gives good access to the south of the map
>>343028519
how do you get kelp with the glowing seeds?
when ever I plant any it never grows seeds
>>343032743
How shit does your computer have to be to not run this game at at least playable fps? I have a FX 8350 and a GTX 760 and I run around 45 fps average with frame drops into the 20s when it's loading biomes. It's not great but it's at least playable and I assume it'll go up a lot after they remove terraforming
>>343033071
plant seeds instead of clippings
>>343033127
ah, so it works like bananas
>>343033089
Playing on maximum graphics to add.
>>343033010
where, in relation to the aurora, is that?
>>343032451
They've had a poster and little bench you could sit on for ages but with the last couple of updates you can start to scan furniture from ship debris and abandoned bases. Sitting or laying down pauses your needs decay but that's about it.
>>343033071
the tank has to be two rooms high or else the plant stops growing at 50%
>>343033178
make your tank big for that extra room and aesthetics
>>343033089
It's very CPU intensive at the moment.
>>343032959
No, it's a fresh water aquarium showing off the local lake/river species. Still really neat. Playing with the Otters is hella sweet.
Duluth hires me sometimes to fix pumps and whatever in their big tank which has sharks but that's like once a month.
So fucking pretty
>>343033089
It's a mobile card running under OSX. I'll give it a go under windows before I refund it.

Yes and the GPU in this one is fine for most games. Just the garbage that runs on unity is unplayable.

Anon, I'm heading up to Marquette in a week or too.

Spook
Anyone know if they'll ever add MP to this game?
>>343033457
I hate those fuckers.
>>343033417
Get a tank and put yourself in it
;)
>>343033525
I can't imagine what we would use magic for in this game
>>343033525
It's not out of the question. It's just incredibly unlikely.
Said the dev.
So eggs. I found one and snatched it up within my first hour. Had a change of heart and dumped it outside the escape pod. Once I got my knife I went out and destroyed it. Smart move for now? Keep in mind I'm still on the escape pod.
>>343033378
No, we can't bang while you're up here.
Always fun to have people come up to the Range once in a while
>>343033525
NEVER EVER
No seriously, never ever.
>>343033328
>that one cave in the red grass area
>see the shadows and light from two of those plants on the cave walls

what are the best biomes for making a base? I don't want resources to be too far away.
also, do limestone rocks and quartz respawn? I remember seeing stuff respawning when I started but now the area around my base is getting barren
>>343032221
spooky
Toasterfag here, could I run this on integrated graphics?
>>343032638
>>343032675
>>343032796
Alright all, expect it tomorrow, I will namefag as "ScubaDoobyDoo" which will also be the channel/account name for the video. I've been looking for something to do with my free time, might as well do Subnautica tutorial videos considering the growing popularity here.
>>343033827
Oh fuck no buddy
>>343033679
best starter base would be on a 3 way intersection of the shallows, kelp, and red grass.
Everything you need for a good while is within reach.
Why can you still not open the inventory inside the seamoth? It's fucking retarded that if I want to stop for a lunch break I have to hop out of it and somehow eat underwater.
>>343034068
you dont want to spill water or fish guts on the control panel.
Is the only way to reach lower depths without the Cyclops really just building small bases on the lower floor?
>>343033272
How do you put plants / fish inside those? I build one very similar to yours, but I'm not getting any prompt / option to put stuff in
>>343033827
Do you consider sub 5 fps playable?
>>343034406
How low we talkin about?
The Seamoth's pressure compensator can be upgraded to mk3, which lets you go down900m into the most hellish zones there are.
>>343034465
>Sub 5
>Sub
hehe
>>343034417
put a hatch on it, my man
>>343034417
how are you going to put stuff inside if there is no way in?
think anon, you can figure this out
the water doesn't even go that deep 0/10
>>343034728
To be fair, this game doesn't really make you feel how deep you're going very well.
You'll sometimes only go down 30 metres to get a piece of copper but that's VERY deep for most normal divers IRL.
Specially trained divers can only stay around 300 ft down at length and that's with specialty equipment.
>tiger plant cave

do i start tearing it down for scrap or can i unfuck this situation?
>>343035048
thats what you get for building under the pod you chicken shit
>>343035048
add foundations, bulkheads, reinforcements,
remove some rooms
>>343035048
Did you fuck your hull integrity? Try removing some rooms.
>>343033609

Did they ever implement a way to attach the escape pod to a base.
That would be dope as fuck if so
>>343035253
>Silver Lake
How're those Zebras treating ya?
>>343026787
Why the fuck would anyone willingly go down there.
Okay guys I am very curious, is this just a meme or is this game actually fun? I may pick it up, but I wonder if I should just torrent it. I am someone who has put a lot of hours into Space Engineers in the past, so I do enjoy games of the same type.
So what's up with the Heat Source? I've tore that place apart. And other than a data pad and a bed blueprint I've found nothing.
I found these guys, kinda majestic.
When were they added? I never noticed them before
>>343035424
It looks nice
>>343035513
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE?!
OP I also watched Markiplier play this.
>>343026787
stop trying to shill this game and make it a thing. its not gonna happen
>>343035623
Sea striders, they make weird noises and shit everywhere
>>343035623
They're the alien version of a king crab. Which are huge as fuck and chill as fuck.
>>343035142
i dont like swimming a half kilometer at night just to use my crafting box, eat shit. this is my first base
>>343035191

>>343035623
They're like big crab spider cows that give no fucks and shit where they want.
>>343035513
DELETE THIS FUCKING IMAGE
Also do I ever not need as much water and food? Or do I have to constantly collect shit? I'm only asking because my new base doesn't have as large of an abundance of the fish I need to survive and I want to be able to spend time exploring instead of trying to live.
>>343028452
The devs have been shilling it every day. Literally every day there's been a subnautica thread
>>343035926
>Also do I ever not need as much water and food?
no and its always annoying as fuck
>>343035926
>>343036067
I keep telling you guys. Get the plans for the indoor planter, and plant some fruit in your base. Never have to worry about food and water again.
>>343035758
Reminder that the board is much better if you filter the word shill.
>>343036156
>fruit
There's fruit?
>>343036229
there's a whole island south of the ship that has some nice upgrades.
And various fruit.
And fucking head crabs. That scared the shit out of me. Wasn't expecting it.

>>343036382
Not to mention regis give huge amounts of power when you chuck them in a bioreactor.
>>343036486
They're removing terraforming which is what causes the popin and ridiculous load times. Look forward to it, terraforming was shit anyways
>>343026787
Why is the crafting UI so fucking shit? Terraria got it right, everyone should just rip that off.
>>343036315

Fuck this game, man
>>343036667
>growing a third dick with all that radiation and such.
It's radiation, if anything it would reduce you to one dick
>>343036667
just repair the reactor then
its fairly easy
is my piece of shit able to run this on low/medium? Otherwise i'll hold off for now until I upgrade and the game will be even better
>>343036705
dont be a pussy, you wont even find blueprints for the good stuff unless you explore
>>343036746
where the fuck are the reapers around the aurora everyone talks about? once i got radiation shielding i waltzed right up to the thing, went through a hole in the side,fixed the reactorand got those sweet free upgrades for the seamoth and cyclops
>>343036841
>not weaving in and out of the sharks and dodge scanning
Get on my level
>>343036862

Didn't even know you could do that. I think I'm way behind.
>>343035969
It's not devs, just fans. It was rare to see a thread at all before the Power Nap update. Now a lot of people know about it from the update threads and the steam sale, so naturally video game players will discuss it on a video game board.
>>343036978
>people talking about games that they like and wanting to talk to other fans of said game
unthinkable
>>343036898
They usually don't spawn if you go through the hole on the side. It's the front and back of the ship which will murder you.

Bro, the leviathans love hanging around the mountain biome.
Am i the only one who find stalkers really cute?
I bring a couple of boomerangs with me to the reaves when i collect creepvine stuff and just feed them whenever they come after me, They leave me alone for pretty much the rest of my stay.
>>343037332
Use your knife on most plants and you get seeds.
>>343037235

Imagine winning the trust of one and it follows you around, then when you go to the red grass for seamoth parts it will chase off any sandsharks that get too close

I figured they would just swim out to their natural habitats. I didn't know they would be fueled by vengeance. And I raised them from eggs. Ungrateful shrimp.

do resources respawn?
So how can you build a huge base without the structural integrity getting too low? Craft those reinforced armors?
>>343038415
yes
>>343037992
exploring is fun for a while, right now its still pretty limited story/gameplay wise
its much more fun if you like autistic building and exploring than if you just want to get the biggest sub and quit.
>>343038558
foundations and reinforcement
reinforcement is OP as fuck
>>343038558
Additional foundations and and bulkheads can increase structural integrity.
CHRIST
I just fell through my fucking base and am walking on the sea floor
please help me get back home
Is there any way to build on/above the water? I want a sea palace ON TOP of the water.
>>343038726
I see. Thank you. Makes sense I suppose. Sucks that finding sandstone is so fucking hard because I need it for pretty much everything.
>>343038558
Make sure it's linked to a huge foundation.
Mind you that these can be placed and connected with vertical connector 1000 meters way from the actual base.
>>343038858
find and island then build a bridge, then delete the bridge
alternatively build a tower then delete the lower parts
>>343038862
Sandstone can be found in Kelp Forests.

This seems like a game I would like but I really want to play it in VR or not at all.
>>343039978
5 minutes into the game and im already terrified. Underwater.. those random noises, that clicking. that groan.. What the fuck was that??
>>343040212
Then use your occlulous rift, or get the vive hack.
How are people playing this?
Am I the only one with pop in for shit thats ten feet away?
I bought it in 2014 and havent touched it since March 2015 because it got worse and worse.
Did they fix it?
>>343026787
ofc i did
Confiest place by far. I love the rumbling sound of the volcanos bellow my base
so is the mountain island just absolutely useless?
How much is Hugh paying you to shill this?
>>343040459
I don't use a filter when I browse, it feels shitty, but I'm seriously considering filtering the word "shill"
I wish hiroshimoot would just go ahead and ban people who yell SHILL in threads, like we said in the sticky a few weeks back
>>343040405
Not fixed yet but they're removing the dumb terraforming shit that almost nobody uses and makes the FPS tank and causes textures to pop in.
>>343040459
He's paying me in hours of fun. Fuck off to a no games thread you faggot.

That's not a picture from Subnautica
>>343040809
I know. I'm just saying that if I can't even handle that picture, I wouldn't be able to handle the game.
Doesn't help I have a fear of being in the ocean.
Has anyone tried it with a vr?
I'm way too afraid.
After a certain point it really feels like half the people in these threads are trying REALLY hard to be scared, and over reacting to everything posted on purpose, as if there's somebody to impress.
We all like the game. Stop embarassing yourselves.
>>343040968
it doesnt even work properly
>>343026787
Thinking about getting this but how many types of creatures are there? Specifically the big alien stuff.
Are there tons that i'm going to see new stuff all the time, or will I have seen everything quickly? This is the type of game for me that needs shit loads of variety in creature types to stay interesting.
this is odd. I've created about four saves so far (just started playing). Now, resources aren't respawning and I can't find any creature eggs or vehicle parts. I haven't seen any sand sharks, biters and several other creatures I saw in my first saves. Stalkers have disappeared as well.
anyone else experience anything like this?
Should I be worried about Emrakul chilling outside my seabase?

>>343041127
There's about 35 creatures in the game atm with 9 more in development that we know of. The 2 really big fuckers aren't in the game yet but you can spawn them with console commands. You'll see a lot of new shit pretty often. The landscape isn't randomly generated it's hand sculpted so the exploring all seems natural.

I love this game, already have 16 hours and I got it 3 days ago.
Is there a way to make your o2 tank have more than 115 without getting more tanks in your inv? It's actually bothering me a lot. For such a futuristic game the low air time on the tank is putting me off. It's actually worse than the technology we have now.

Shill threads do exist, average retard
is there a point in scanning fish except for encyclopedia completion sake?
>>343042930
The air tanks used to have more, but it was lowered. No, after upgrading your tank there is no way to expand it. You need multiple, or just deal with what you got.
>>343042610

They've always been here. They just became more common after the power nap update and the steam sale, you dipshit.
A little known game goes on sale on the front fucking page of steam, that millions of people see every day. It's not a fucking wonder why it's suddenly more popular to discuss. Everybody knows it exists now.
>>343042907
That to, but no, anonymity absolutely creates a desire to fit in, because it erases the idea of individuality. Eventually people just want to be part of a great big hive mind and become very distraught when others breaks that hivemind.

>>343041926
Let me ask a very important question.
How many creatures that can instantly kill you does this fucking game need? What's the point of things like the Sea Dragon and Sea Emperor? They're just adding big, poorly designed, likely instantly-lethal shit to the game. You'll see them once or twice and then they'll just be a big nuisance.
>>343028452
Personally got interested a while back, bu game was early access and looked too bare-boned.
Saw it on the Steam sale and looked up a few things. The devs seem like total bros who are updating the game regularly. It's already a LOT more advanced from when I first saw it, so decided to buy it.
Who does this game have no icon or anything on my taskbar like any other currently open program? I can only alt-tab to it

I've seen this happen but the Reaper was actually trying to get my Seamoth, which was in a secluded place. The bastard just decided to clip through the ground to reach it. When it was coming out of the ground, the Reaper just flew upwards really fast but stopped right before leaving the water and let go of my Seamoth.
can my pc run it? love some good sea exploration
would be nice to play with VR in the future
>>343038858

Not worth trying right now. It's worth buying if you can run it, so I'd buy it while it's on sale, then wait until they get rid of terraforming and fix performance issues, which should be the next update.

>>343044849
Seaglide is hot garbage, the seamoth is where it's at
The Cyclops is also pretty cool but since the last few patches it's not nearly as easy to get as it used to be, requiring you to basically explore the whole map anyway to get it
>>343044849
I only use my glider when I need to GTFO and I'm not near my Seamoth.
>>343043423
Well the Sea Emperor is passive and plays a role in the story as it's kept captive somewhere.
The Sea Dragon I'm not sure, I know its babies are supposedly very convenient but I don't think you need to meet it. Unless it's in the way to the Sea Emperor?

The Devs said its on the "wish list".. and that it'll probably be Version 1.5 or later.. they are also contemplating just doing what "Don't Starve" did, and make a Co-Op spinoff.
But this is a LONG time from now. They're just focusing on making the game in SP now. They do want to make it Co-Op eventually though.
>>343044491

I would, but I made one next to the nearby kelp forest so I'm not building another one so close, although I may eventually expand down there.
This game really is beautiful tho.
>>343047909
These giant sea monster designs are starting to get a bit derivative. Where's the variety in design?
I've gathered everything I need (except the thing I've forgot) to make a completely self sustained base. Now I need to take my Seamoth out as far as possible and make a base on the side of a cliff 2000m underwater, where I will stay forever
I cant find the last seamoth fragment.
Any ideas?
>>343048013
It is, when shit's not popping in three feet in front of your face and dropping to 2 fps while loading terraforming. So glad they're removing that shit in the next patch.
>>343048287
I agree. I'd like to see something unique. The Reapers, Sea Dragons and Sea Emperor all have the same basic shape, it'd be neat to see a giant crab or squid or something. All the small creatures have really unique designs but they dropped the ball on the ones that are actually supposed to be scary, Reaper Leviathans look like the fucking Crimson Chin.
did they add random generation already?
>>343041926

it's cool and all, but it kind of eliminates the danger + it's awkward as fuck to drive

>>343049486
A bull, an elephant, and a tiger actually.
>>343049575
I used it to ferry a fuckton of supplies to a faraway biome so I could work on a new base. It's invincible to anything except crush depth and you can fill it up with storage, so that's its main use. Other than that though it's a fucking chore to drive, it's too hard to see where you're going while diving/surfacing and you basically need to stop just to check your rear/sides.

>can't get a solar powered cyclops anymore
literally fucking why, fun hating shitters
So I'm starting to make my first base. It on the border of a kelp forest and red grass plan, at the entrance of a mushroom cave. I probably will actually move my base to the mushroom cave. Is there any way to get acid mushrooms and quartz? I keep having to go back to the shallows, seems like the basic resources are more vital than special resources, why build a base away from the shallows?
>>343050451
>quartz
no
>mushrooms
Explore the above ground island and scan everything
>>343050042
There's a bunch of lava vents in the Jellyshroom caves, you could always set up Thermal
>>343050451
>why build a base away from the shallows?
It's a good idea if you want to have food ready in the various corners of the map. Also something to recharge the Cyclops power cells at or to use as an outpost for expeditions.
>>343050042
>>343050156
Find the nuclear blueprint and build one. Then go to the grand reef or whatever it's called and pick up as much urine crystals as you can hold and make rods out of them. The rods last for ages and you only need to check the reactor every now and then to see if one needs replacing.
test
>>343050156
Don't build bioreactor unless you want to bother having to recharge it.
Just find a thermal vent (should be some deep where you are right now) and put a reactor next to it.

I heard there's a second island? Where is it? Ive found the island with the bases on the mountains to the southwest. Also is there an easy way to navigate the game and figure out where all the biomes and shit? Im having trouble finding cool shit.
>>343045002
Why do you even carry it around? It takes up so much inventory space.
>>343051786
Full north.
As a tip, try to look over the water, you'll see two areas north and south that are notably more misties. That's where the islands are.

Its definetly worth that price, you might get frustrated about things like not knowing theres an item that could have solved a problem you had or not knowing where to find or make that one piece of ingrediant but thats all just a big part of exploration.
Also the escape pod moves around a bunch before dissapearing comepletely so dont grow attached to it.
>>343052157
Dont swim anywhere near them.
>>343052157
They're faster than any transportation avalible in the game, Although a seamoth protects you from instant death, Just pay attention and wait until its either distracted by smaller fish or not in your way anymore.
Basically dont fuck with them.

>>343052516
It's probably just a bug.
I'm about 13 hours in and it's still there. And you'll have a base making the escape pod redudant at that point
>>343026787
>tfw framerate is perfectly 60 when sitting still and not looking around
>tfw massive pop-in that drops fps to sub-10s when moving or looking around
>>343052970
I cannot imagine how this game could be playable on a VR headset. Seems a good way to projectile vomit
Postan my moth
>>343053209
I have the moon pool, but what do you need to customize the Moth like that?
>>343044525
>he doesn't know
Try to bring the Swim Charge Fins along with your Sea Glider next time :)
>>343052653
Where do you respawn without a pod?
>>343053385
Seamoth modification station. It goes right on one of the ends of the moon pool. Took me forever to find it in my game for some reason.
>>343044525
Agreed. The Glider runs out of charge faster than my local McDonalds runs out of fucking ice cream
>>343035842
Build another fucking crater, you dipshit.
How is everyone's bases coming along? This is mine, which is close to the Life Pod and near the Kelp Forest. I plan on making a new base further out, at least 3KM away.
I also have a bunch of Scanner Rooms scattered around, mainly to scan for Quartz, Magnetites and Diamonds.
>>343053690
TOO BIG.
>Stress simulator
pretty sure i just payed money to kill myself from some kind of heart failure
and i didnt even get a tasty bigmac out of the deal
>>343053209
Great minds think alike, anon
>>343053690
How the fuck do you power that shit? My base is only made up of 4 rooms and 1 moon pool and I still run out of fucking power
Where does the game save screenshots when you press F11?
I just bought it, i haven't played it since it was first introduced to early access.
What did they add since then?
>>343053936
save it to steam. Easier to find than digging into your program files
Why are there only loot and fish near spawn?
When I go exploring nothing seems to be around. No quarts, no fish, no nothing...
Can't find last seamoth fragment and im wondering if my game is glitched.
>>343053448
In your base duh.
>>343042362
It was pretty scary in the beginning, I must admit. Seeing a Reaper poke his head out of the shadows for the first time, with it's roar, literally made me gasp and panic back to my base.
Getting lost in some underground cavern over 900m deep with my seamoth was fucking intense. Couldn't find the exit and everywhere was roofed. Crazy.
But for the rest, it's really comfy. Having the electricity upgrade for the seamoth helps tremendously, too. You don't feel defenseless anymore. Which is both good and bad for the game.
>>343054019
I don't have the game on steam
I actually had a reaper leviathan pop in in front of my face so close my entire screen was covered by it's face. I gasped so hard it scared my girlfriend in the back of the room. I managed to dodge it's attack and get in a place it couldn't get to before swimming away. Probably the most I've ever been startled by a game. Nothing creeps me out more than being at the surface of the water though looking out over the distance, I always have this paranoid feeling something is under me.
WHERE THE HELL CAN I FIND THE LAST SEAMOTH FRAGMENT
WHAT THE FUCK I LOOKED EVERYWHERE
>bought this game almost day one due to recommendation
>barely any threads about it
>this sale hits in
>almost daily thread on /v/ about it
Is this what joy feels like?
>>343054694
They're in the red grasses right?
Basically the areas right outside the vine jungle areas
>tfw cave crawler
FUCK ME AND MY ARACHNOPHOBIA
>>343053809
It has 4 Bioreactors using mostly Sandsharks as fuel (or Floaters, if I don't have any Sandsharks left), 12 solar panels outside and 4 Thermal Plants linked to a volcano near the Aurora wreckage.
There's also a Nuclear Reactor but I've stopped using it after the Reactor Rods ran out of juice so quickly. I felt that the Bio Reactors are a lot more reliable and have a long-term usage.
I've 5 Water Filtration Machines working all the time, as well. There were some spotlights but I took them off because of high power usage.
But sometimes the power gets bugged and it goes down to around 300 (maximum of 1800) when I come back to the base after a while.
On this screenshot, notice the big 5-story part of the base. That is where all the Reactors are located inside. One on each floor.
More eggs when? I must complete my ultimate aquarium.
what is that
>>343055782
Go on up and get a good look at it, I'm sure it's friendly.
>>343054756
I cannot find it.
I have 4/5.
Can it be inside a wreck?
>tfw you spend an hour finishing your base and have it almost done and then the game crashes
>>343056640
You need to go deeper.
>>343053690
Scanner rooms remove creature sounds right?
>>343057036
I found it!
The last fragment didn't look like the others.
FUCK YES.
Now where can I find battery charger fragments?
Or how do I power up my seamoth efficiently?
>>343057354
Find the moonpool fragments, once you hook the Seamoth up with it it'll directly charge it from your base's power and you won't have to worry about energy.
Can someone explain to me how to find the sea traders? I cannot find that goddamn biome. My sub and seamoth can both go 900m so that's not the issue here.
Also on a side note I think it's really interesting that the game has an effect on me mentally. By that I mean the fear of dark/water. It seems to be getting less worse.
When I first started playing the kelp forest was fucking spoopy. And the aurora made me shit my pants. Now that I kinda know my way around these areas dont frighten me anymore.
The one thing that does still scare shit out of me is that really dark DEEP areas. I think it's due to the fact you don't know what's coming and when it's coming.
Maybe I will get more comfortable in these locations as I progress. Also I don't think any game has instilled this much fear in me ever, I think that's really interesting.
>>343057604
Go southwest, the Sea Treaders go back and forth in the Sea Treader's path, you'll know it when you see it, it's basically a large udnerwater road. Some part of it is at the very edge of the map to help you.
>Decide to make a new base
>Take an inventory full of titanite, glass, quartz and some lubricant
>Trying out bio engines because too deep for solar and don't have any alternatives yet
>After five trips because I kept running out of stuff/forgetting stuff my base is finished
>No power
>Three bio engines was not enough to power one water filtration unit and two rooms
>Remove the filter
>Takes ten minutes to reach 100 energy
They may last for ages but holy shit these things are bad
I know letsplayers are cancer and I should kill myself RIGHT NOW, but what are good and comfy Subnautica LPs?
I can't run the damn thing on my toaster laptop and an upgrade is well beyond my capabilities at the moment, but I still want to see what does Subnautica has to offer.
I've been watchingVinny's streams for a bit, but he's slow as shit and I'd like to watch someone who has progressed significantly further into the game.
>>343026787
I tried and for some reason, no matter what I did, the damn base refused to get powered up.
>>343055782
It's a sea strider, completely friendly
>>343058460
You know Sips from the Yogscast? His is pretty comfy.
>>343057265
I have no idea.
>>343055782
It might whack you with it's long nose thingy. I found it during creative and I can't get damage, so I don't know if it actually hurts you or if it just bumped into me.
>>343058613
I kind of assumed anything Yogscast related shouldn't be touched with a 5 foot stick, but sure, thanks, I'd give it a try.
>>343057853
What depth should I be aiming for? I think I might be going to deep or to shallow. I ended up in the fucking abyss trying to find this biome. It wasn't fun.
Also: swim charge fins or ultra speed fins?
>>343058941
Between 300-500 meters, I guess?
Swim charges fins are now redundant with the battery charger.
>>343058460
I like Splattercat. Some might find him too chatty though.
>>343043230
one thing.FUCKTHAT
>>343058460
Start vinny's lp but on episode 7
It's a newer build so he reatarted and he has more of an idea of what he's doing
>>343058941
Swim charge + glider = unlimited speed
Sad that the game performs so poorly on my computer, going to have to refund it.
>>343058941
If you like using the Sea Glider, I'm sure you will enjoy the Swim Charge Fins very much. But don't tell anyone else :)
>>343026787
are there still only 5 fucking quickslots? what the fuck subnautica devs.
have they ever explained why they think its a good idea you need to switch stuff in your inventory constantly?
>>343057604
What do you even need the treaders for
But otherwise go to the floater island and go straight down from under it
>No co-op
Fuck you.
>>343059140
>Knife
>Welder
>Scanner
>Seaglide
>Builder
What else could you need?
>all the fish have fled the area around my base
safe shallows ain't safe
>>343059202
Treaders make outcrops as they walk around.
Free materials.
>>343059348
>He brings the builder whenever he isn't building
>He brings the welder when he doesn't have a vehicle
>>343059483
Who doesn't stop building?
>>343059026
Oh, nice! Started watching episode 1 from his Power Nap playthrough, and right off the bat he says he studied oceanography. That's interesting, not something you'd hear so often in a fucking letsplay. I'm now kind of curious as to what his impressions are in this context. Thanks!
>Tfw knifing everything to death
I'm may be playing wrong but it feels so right
>>343059557
When I'm on a resource and exploring run? duh
Don't you schedule your expeditions?
I bet you just haphazardly do whatever you feel at the moment
I dont remember stalkers being this fucking annoying
Goddamn. Fucking. Stalkerteeth.
Why can't I just wrassle them down and cut their whole mouth out like the chick in that one log?
>>343059874
>Not making small storage building so you can keep all of an areas resources in one place and move it back to your main base over multiple quick trips
Come on step it up
>>343059693
I wish killing things you know, did something. Shark fillets, Stalker teeth, I know the lore is meant to be low-environmental-impact, but fuck that!
>>343059202
I just want to explore and see everything pretty much.
>>343059363
They're fleeing fromyou
Also post more bases. I'm interested in seeing what people can come up with. My base is pretty shitty so I'm trying to at least make the inside look nice. Any tips for improving on this?
>seamoth doesn't have arm attachments so that it can break and collect ore without having to get out
>>343060592
The Exosuit does.
>>343060473
This is my room. I wish I had more stuff to put in there.
>>343060719
Whoa where did you find all that? Specifically what is that machine on the left side of the door entrance?
>want to have several large fishtanks for several biomes
>can only plant 4 plants in square formation
>too many biomes to make a nice formation of each fishtank
GOD DAMNIT AUTISM
I heared someone say a new big update was coming soon. Anybody got any info?
>>343060984
https://trello.com/b/yxoJrFgP/subnautica-development
>>343028452
I pirated it, then bought it and have since started 2 threads about it since the steam sale.
so there's that accounted for.
Why does everything looks so small?
The reaper is like 10x the player and it looks 2x tops.
>>343060983
We just need to have hope, fellow aquariumbro.
>>343059074
ffs anon say Vinesauce, it's not like you know him personally
>>343060473
>that map
Is that a picture frame? Fantastic use, I may copy that.
Also, does the lifepod still drifts away on the newest patch?
>>343039328
you have google you fucking troglodyte, you don't need an online imageboard to help you through everything.
Have you harnessed the power of the sun yet?
>>343061650
Vinesauce is more than just Vinny. But only Vinny is playing Subnautica on stream.
>>343061673
Yeah, here you go:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56777267/Signatures/map.jpg
To be fair I wasn't smart enough to think of this myself. Found it on steam.
>>343061442
Because you're looking at it from a distance, you pussy.
>>343060835
Those are all things I've found on wreckages. I don't remember exactly where which one was found. Just keep an out for big wreckages on the sea floor.
The two things on top of my desk are two kinds of Lab Equipments. They have the same name, but one has drinking glasses on it.
The thing on the wall is a Coffee Vending Machine.
The poster was on a wreckage near the Aurora. It's easy to find.
Lab Trash Can was also on a wreckage. You have to scan it first. There is also another kind of Trash Can, a big yellow one.
The bench was scannable on wreckages, as the same with the table, desk, chairs and planters.
The luggage bags were on one of the wreckages near the Aurora. They aren't always there, so keep coming back until they spawn.
And here is an updated look at my run, because I was somewhat jealous of the other person who posted theirs.
Look at my ugly base. What would be a good location for a second base? There's a vulcano near the mushroom forest that looks interesting. But I might have to go deeper. The darkness still creeps me the fuck out though.
>>343028672
where is this
I thought it's nyi
>>343062164
Keep going south until you find a large, flat, sandy area, it's great for not paying attention to your surrounding while you build a base
>>343062164
if you wanna be the coolest kid on the block, you need to build near/on this fucking thing
can i run the game?
>>343062942
not without massive fps drop when moving because of slow hard disk access and slow RAM
>>343062441
I've found a pretty comfy place to build a base.
on the edge of 3 biomes, with a hole directly adjacent down to the mushroom caves.
>All these clusterfuck bases
Do you even aesthetics?
>>343063027
Does the observatory do anything?
>>343063463
>complains about clusterfuck bases

>>343063516
Yes it's for observation
>>343063463
That's disgusting, anon
>>343063516
you mean the scanner room? its for scanning.
>>343032091
Push against your fears. Nothing that happens can harm you in real life, and you might get over your fear while playing.
>>343063463
No, thanks. I would prefer to live in a base, not in a labyrinth.
Would be cool if you could get like a coordanites tracker and put it somewhere on your cyclops cock pit.
>>343064170
how did you get rid of the glare off your cyclops window?
also someone start another thread
