>Repulsion field you can build around your base to keep away hostile monsters.
>suit upgrade that wards off hostile monsters, maybe consumes batteries.
>some way to breath longer like an upgrade for the rebreather.
>more variety of smaller friendly critters.
>better building placing system.
>upgrading batteries to last longer.
>underwater currents that kinda act as a weather system?
>ability to grab onto/pet creatures like the reefback.
>another vehicle.
>more biomes.
>a backpack.
>distance reader for beacons.
>upgrades for the seaglide.
>more o2 upgrades beyond the two we have.
>nets for capturing wildlife, we already kind of have the grav ball tho.
Fuck do I have to do to find salt
>>343106772
Look at the ground.
Or search for the fragments of the water filtration machine and build it in your base, it'll produce salt regularly.
>>343106772
Dive. Ground in the Grassy Plateus area might as well be entirely made out of salt.
I've been playing this game for about 2 hours now and really don't know what to do, could someone explain what the goals are?
Where the fuck do I get silicone
>>343107356
Surive. Explore. Build a base.
what is the moonpool or whatever? I want to upgrade my thing.
>>343107356
You bought a survival game. All you have to do is record yourself overreacting to everything.
>>343107356
Starting goal=survive (get sustainable food and water)
Second goal=repair lifeboat
>third goal=repairaurora
>fourth goal=build moonpool->seamoth->cyclops
>fifth goal=explore
>>343107450
from ur mum
>threw random eggs in my tank
>one of them is a baby predator, put into my inventory
>grows to full size in my backpack
what do I do with this barracuda in my pocket
>>343107356
survivewhile you search for bits of silver
>>343107450
Silicone rubber?
Pick the glowing fruits from the green vines.
Two of them can be made into one silicone rubber.
I found a "Grassy Plateus Egg"
Has a different sprite to all other eggs I've seen too
What the fuck is it? A bug I'm guessing because I can't put it in the fish tank
>55m long
It doesn't seem like that at all. It feels so small for a deep sea fantasy predator.
>>343107356
You should highly consider returning your prebuilt computer to wherever you bought it, and seek a swift suicide 2bh
>>343107683
Use it as your secret weapon.
>>343107450
From the bulbs on the green kelp, watch out for the stalkers
What's the deal with subnautica?
Is it a single map as such or randomly generated environment?
Also is it actually spooky and worth buying now?
>>343107828
>searching kelp forest
>barracuda tries to attack me
>quickly go into my inventory and take out a barracuda
>barracuda is startled and attacks the enemy barracuda
>barracuda is victorious, returns to my inventory
sounds like a pokemon or stando user battle
>>343107547
Docking station for the Seamoth. It can recharges it automatically and you can equip it with a modification station for it
>>343107547
The moonpool is an underwater docking building for the seamoth. You can build a seamoth upgrading station there aswell.
>>343107793
>no brain
wat
How the fuck do I go to great depths? My seamoth can go down to 900m and my cyclops 1400m and yet I keep searching and I keep reaching the end of the world in different directions without ever finding a place where I can put my depth capacities to use.
>>343108224
the biggest angriest jellyfish in the universe
>>343107793
Have you tried getting up close with it without the sub? You get a better feel for the size then.
>>343108090
Single map.
Pretty spooky in the open sea.
Worth it if you are into survival/base building/exploring. Stay away if you want anything else.
>>343108090
Single map.
It has some spooky moments, you end up thinking the dark is going to hurt you.
Finally after asking stupid questions in dozens of threads, here's my base.
Just completed some major renovations. I also finally built a fish tank. Next up is making a scanner room and finding the rest of the moonpool pieces.
>>343108224
The drive and desire to fuck your shit up is burned into every single cell of its body. No brain necessary.
So how do I get more options for base building? I've currently only got the default stuff and a desk+chair I found near the aurora, but I've seen a bunch of neat shit in screenshots, like beds and different shapes/sizes of rooms and have no clue as to how I'd begin to acquire those.
can you go inside the aurora?
>Build a wing to base too close to gasopods
>The walls rupture and leak from 5 holes from the gasopod
>Have to scurry and make a bulkhead to save the base
So how do I easily get rid of these damn manatees? There are two of these fucks making circles around the wing and I don't have a welder to repair it yet.
>>343108408
Of course, if I had that picture that means I scanned it. Unless there is a way of scanning things from inside the sub that I don't know about.
>>343108385
>the biggest angriest jellyfish in the universe
>>343108569
Cool base, bro
>>343108358
Well obviously, once you get the top pressures upgrades most things are in your reach. The Inactive lava zone is out of reach for the Seamoth so maybe search for it
Salt doesn't exist
>>343108674
How do you have a base built but no welder? I have almost every tool made and I have no idea how to make a building. All my shit is in floaty lockers under the pod.
>>343108385
>biggest
Really, the game is great and all, but if you are going to explore this concept 55m is not big at all. They could have done so much more.
Also, I'm assuming 55m is like pic related?
>>343107795
le cringe
>>>/pol/
>>343108672
Wrecks and abandoned bases. Yes to your question
>>343108869
That's more like 120m.
>>343108827
Habitat builder is pretty easy to make. I'm not very lucky in finding other things like silver, though.
>>343107772
unfinished item
>>343108672
You find stuff like that in the bases and larger wrecks scattered around.
>>343108869
>55m like related
The average human male is 1.7m tall. That's those little things atop the boat.
You can measure from there if you're bothered but those guys are fucking massive, way bigger than 55m.
>>343108724
>most things are in your reach
Yes I realize that, the problem is I can't find anything deeper than like 700. I keep reaching the end of the world without finding 1000 not to mention 1400 which would put my sub capacities to the test.
I know there are bigger monsters than the reaper, and I know you can go lower, I just can't fucking find it and I've been looking for so long.
>>343108678
play the game in VR, then you would understand how big it is.
>>343108869
They are planning on going bigger they just haven't put them in fully yet

http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Sea_Emperor
>>343108869
You now realize that the ship is not floating inside the water, it is gliding on top of it.
>>343109042
Fuck the meter system senpai.
Also, you see my point? They could have done so much more, you could have been legit scared of being completely overpowered by a deep sea giant that could swallow your cyclops in one single bite.
>>343105278
Isn't this still early access shit? When does the full game release?
>>343109293
fuck you
>>343109349
Well its still in development, so hopefully they'll escalate things as they develop more late game content.
I haven't played in months, what's new in the experimental?
>>343109153
You saw the crabsquids? In the cave where they hang out there's an entrance to the deepest biome
>>343109235
man, all of these nasty bastards and they won't give us a seamoth/cyclops cloaking device that eats energy like a motherfucker but you'll be safe
So are they going to add a multiplayer coop much much much later on or something?
>start the game for the first time
>fuck around for a couple of hours before I feel like exploring the Aurora
>head towards the engines of the ship, the water turns green, I hear what sounds like a whale getting assfucked by a shark and see a huge tail moving in the distance
What was that and why is the sea so fucking scary?
Bioreactor for the Cyclops when?
>>343106772
It's everywhere. Are you blind? Just look around the floor where the mushrooms and shit are.
>>343109293
Why would you do this?
>>343109683
They said there's no plans to add multiplayer but it might happen one day.
>>343109358
Its early access that has been constantly supported and updated, with a ton of content.
One of the few good early access games out there that are using the system properly.
>>343107683
It's called a stalker.
>>343109683
They said they might do it after the game is complete, a bit like Don't Starve Together did
>>343108224
I highly doubt it literally means it has no brain. It's just a term of phrase. Jesus christ you tard.
>>343109628
You can distance everything ingame with the Seamoth right now and the Cyclops can't be damaged by animals
>Finally get to the base in the underground mushroom reef
>There's nothing in there but a bed
>>343109685
That was nothing anon.
Must've been a small fish close to you
>>343109070
It's not about luck, it's about being observant. There is shitloads of silver in the Kelp Forest where the Stalkers live.
>>343109685
>heading towards the engines
that was your first mistake
>>343110021
How could that post have upset you?
>term of phrase
Now pretend you were being retarded.
>>343110085
E X P L O R A T I O N
>>343110046
I'm talking about these big fuckers, and I'm not sure the seamoth is faster then the reaper
>>343109863
i give everything my own names. barracuda, pooping matinee, goliath eel, etc
I was thinking about buying this game but I noticed that you cant play as a girl.
When it will be possible?
I always try to play as cute girls, when given chance.
>>343110185
Why is that?If I recall correctly there is only one reaper near the engine and he is more like behind the aurora and not on the way there.
what are the best tanks?
i made a plast steel one
feel alot faster now but only having 75 oxygen kinda sucks
>>343110272
you literally have a scanner that tells you the name of every creature
fucking use it
>>343109685
It was nothing, most dangerous fish stay away from aurora because of the radiation.
>>343110350
No.
>>343110191
Implying I was upset.
>>343109853
So never? Oh well.
>>343110336
two reapers at the front
one on the side
three? at the back
>>343110338
Once you get the seamoth speed is pretty much redundant with the addition of the fins
I thought reapers were loners. I just found like 4 to 5 with little to no distance in between them.
>>343110350
i literally dont care and prefer to give things nicknames instead of compulsively follow every creature around. stay mad
>>343107617
More like
>first goal: sea moth
>second goal: more sea moth
How big and crazy can I make bases in this game? I'll definitely buy it if I can make a huge elaborate base.
>>343110516
I could feel the warmth of your scorched anus across TCP/IP.
>>343110336
What? They are all over the aurora. I don't know if they show up once you fix the radiation leaks or what but they're all around the front, back, and sides of the ship.
>>343110559
i have ultra glide and the seamoth
guess i will try using two of the heavy tanks then
Why the fuck has Subnautica gotten such a surge in threads and purchases lately?
It's been out for years and the Steam sale for it isn't even that good. The game is still in early access too, so this can't be explained by the game hitting 1.0.
>>343110650
My anus is perfectly chilled, I'll have you know. Thats why I'm sitting in this bucket of ice.
>>343110336
RNG spawning. You can even get one where there will be none in the back or none in the front of the aurora. I got the one where there were none in the front. Making it way easier as all i ever see is dark blue water then out of nowhere something eats my damn seamoth.
>trying to build a stalker tooth repository by digging through the sand like some savage minecraft player
I think I'll build a room in there to blow open the space. 1 sec
What time should I go into the aurora? I have a Rad suit and just got my Seamoth. Is there any other gear I'll need?
>>343110773
It hits all the right buttons for people.
>>343106772
Kelp Forest is the closest area with salt lying around.
>>343110806
Anon stop it's summer and it's hot enough.
>>343110672
I didn't know about fixing radiation leaks at all, so maybe they only show up after? Because I've been near the aurora countless times, it's my favorite spot to picking up titanium wreck pieces.
>>343110773
price is just right now
plus the thread has convinced alot of people to buy it
14 hours so far for me
>>343110673
*seaglide
>>343110773
They've added a fuck ton more content then the last time I played. Worth the 10 buck price tag
>>343110851
You literally only need the welder and rad suit
>>343110851
welder obviously
bring a spare battery
couple health packs
if you go into the side you won't need a knife
from the front you will need to kill or run from crabs
oh andreapers everywherethe side entrance is p safe though
>tfw finally found blueprints for that small submarine and battery recharger
all smiles
I am glad these threads popped up, had the game in my library for so long. I've been enjoying it, but i have not enjoyed running so easily out of oxygen. You're telling me far in the future when we have space travel we can't even make Co2 holsters last longer?
>>343111062
Why do you need the welder?
Where's the picture folder for this game? I wanna add waifu pictures to my picture frames
>>343111139
To repair the reactors and power core that are spewing radiation out. If you repair it then you don't need the rad suit.
>>343111139
Fixing the reactor leak.
>>343110975
oh
i haven't bothered with the seaglide, eats way too much energy
>>343110773
It was on the front page of steam during the sale
>>343111139
Fixing the leaks
>>343109293
The "water" is actually Mercury.
Get your facts straight.
>>343109764
Literally swam around for an hour and 0 salt
>>343110945
Yeah theres shitloads of them around afterwards. I got stuck in some wreckage right next to the ship while one swam round me, watching me. I had to seaglide out of there and make a break for my seamoth.
>>343111139
To WELD shit
>>343110843
Build something in the sand then remove it
>>343109293
The fuck is your problem
>>343111245
If you have the swim charge fins the seaglide never runs out of power unless you go super deep. It just hovers around 0% but never loses power. I have a feeling its a bug though and I don't know if it's fixed yet.
>>343107793
its a good size
not everything needs to be megahuge
we need more mid sized predators, bigger than the sharks but smaller than the leviathans
>>343111139
I'm the guy who asked the first question
please don't mistake me for this retard
>>343111162
Subnautica -> SNAppData -> SavedGames -> slot -> screenshots
>>343111369
Pfft, haven't you played Battlefield? Everyone knows the welding torch is for killing things.
>>343111303
check coral and kelp forest
>>343111316
Whats the point of fixing it? So you can stop using the rad suit? Why even bother, the only other kind of suit is the useless body moisture one.
>>343111489
that's because it keeps turning on and off
you aren't getting the full speed boost
>>343111578
if you take the suits off you can swim faster
>>343111578
The leviathans are attracted to radiation. You fix the rads, they disperse
>>343111578
>useless body moisture one
>useless
this guy
There needs to be more decorational shit, I can barely decorate my base, because there's nothing to really put
Also is it just me or does this game crash a lot? It's pretty stunning, it's always about an hour into the game it just suddenly freezes and crashes. What I'm doing doesn't matter, it just freezes after an hour or two of run time no matter what I'm doing.
Lost an hour of base building progress last night and now I'm autistically saving every 10 minutes to prevent another loss like that
>>343111496
You don't start the game knowing you can fix the radiation leaks, that's something you find out eventually, so the question is plausible. Assuming that people start off already knowing that makes you the retarded one.
>>343111810
you need to find the decorative shit
I mostly use plants
>>343111810
It's probably the terraforming that does that. Terraforming is buggy and prone to crashing your game randomly. It's why they're removing it
>/v/ actually likes a early access game and talk friendly and respectful and discuss
It is possible, we can do it. Too many games nowadays are shit. And i guess we all just have a mutual love for deep sea, that helps i guess.
>>343109235
>all these giant monsters look amazing in these pictures
>they look cartoony, shitty and not scary in game
Do fish breed in the tanks?
Just finished building my base but need to know the easiest way to get sustainable food.
>>343111919
I wish I hadn't built my base above a 1000m deep fucking canyon so I could go exploring without going so far away
>>343111810
I never had a crash, but what I do have is framerate coming to a grinding halt whenever the game loads the next part of the map.
>>343111762
Yes it is fucking useless. Everyone with half a base has machines generating water automatically for them.
>>343112190
yep
use the big tank
>>343112092
Concept art is always better than what is in a game. Always.
>>343112258
shite, so the small tanks don't do shit?
>>343112092
Reminder that these monsters are never seen in the shallow areas and only in the near blackness. Have fun hearing the roar then shining your lights on it charging your ass
>>343112190
Not in the Aquarius, but they do in the ayy containment if you have 2 or more of the same species. Couple that with the thing that separates water from salt and you can forget you are playing survival.
Why is the dark ocean so scary bros in this game
>>343112339
uh
think they only do like 5 fish or something
big tanks a best
you can destroy stuff and it will give you 100% of the stuff back
>>343112092
It's mostly the context and the sound design that makes them scary. Like the Sea Dragon looks silly when you spawn it in the Shallows, but if you spawn it where it's meant to be it get a lot more tense.
This game just screams multiplayer. I mean, we could build a base together, when i pilot the sub some other checks the cameras.
>>343112092
the Emperor looks alright
the Dragon looks stupid and not intimidating at all
they need smaller faster creatures, not more megas
imagine some superfast giant squid rushing toward you and wrapping itself around you/your sub so you have to get out and cut its tentacles with your knife
>mfw my escape pod almost drifted into the deep end
Are there any other big monster besides the sharks and those radiation whales?
seamoth + solar panel upgrade
is op as fuck
got the 900 crush resist mod and this thing is a beast
time to get cyclops i guess
>>343112391
Lies. I've seen at least two reapers near the surface. One of them even bugged out and literally flew away.
>>343112567
>escape pod drifting
what? mine has stayed in the same place forever
>>343112578
Talking specifically about sea dragon and emperor. They're only going to spawn in the active lava zone which is around 1500 meters
Why is this game getting shilled so hard recently? There almost never used to be threads for it, but now there's one up constantly.
>>343112092
even the stalkers look retarded. but when you're foraging on the ocean floor unarmed and one swims near you;re still gonna shit yourself

steam sales = new flavor of the week. remember the fantastic nuclear throne community that dissipated after 10 days of constant threads?
>>343112629
Gravity anchor from the pod is broken at the start of the game. If you don't fix it with the welder it will slowly drift away.
>>343112820
where's a point where they are just too big to be scary or even interested in some tiny little diver
>>343112825
did you fix everything inside? i did that asap and it has never moved plus I think it said something about anchors
>>343112804
>>343112837
>>343112912
Always been interested, but never really could justify buying it. Is it fun in its current state, or does it get stale?
>>343112991
>too big to be scary
What are you talking about?
>>343113059
For it's current price? It's worth it. You'll get more than enough hours out of it if you like survival and deep sea games. It gets a little stale around the 30 hour mark but the game is still being developed so that will supposedly change as they add more end game content
>>343112918
>people who don't fix the pod
>people who build there base in the shallows

>Not having a base on each biome

Try building your base right next to a reaper then, fucker.
>>343112991
>too big to be scary or even interested in some tiny little diver
Friendly reminder the biggest creature currently living on earth feeds exclusively on little critters about the size of a grown man's finger.
>>343113112
like the crabsnakes are scarier than the Reapers
there needs to be more mid level creatures not just big ugly giants
and if they're going big the dragon is a lame choice
>>343112991
>did you fix everything inside? i did that asap and it has never moved plus I think it said something about anchors
Oddly enough, it started drifting when I fixed it. Was getting tense so I looked it up and it turns out it could also be a bug. It was neet though, definitely had me on edge.
>>343113442
>biggest creature currently living on earth
That we know of.
>>343113451
>the crabsnakes are scarier than the Reapers
What? How? That doesn't make any sense.
>>343113442
reminder that it eats thousands of those
a gigantic monster wouldn't waste its effort on a tiny solitary spec for the same reason a whale wont chase down a single krill
>>343113547
Don't you fucking do this
>>343113663
leviathans are the biggest threat, but in that sense they are easy to avoid. smaller and more unusual creatures that dont follow typical fish behavior catch me off guard the most
>>343113245
>fix the pod
For what purpose?
How "horror" is this game?
Will I encounter giant creatures that make me shit my pants?
>>343113797
Even if it was passive towards you, exploring into the complete black and all of the sudden your light shines on something that big, it would scare most people shitless.
It already scares me to explore the great darks as it is.
>>343113972
this
Was wondering this too. It's the only thing that keeps me on edge, that there's some fucking behemoth underneath me. Otherwise it's be pretty bland.
>>343113972
Varies from person to person.
I don't find this game remotely scary, it's very very comfy.
>>343109349
the sea emperor is supposed to be 5 times its current model which is a bit smaller then the reaper
>>343113972
this game is the most terrifying game i have ever played, and I have gone scuba diving irl. the dev made the game without guns, you are basically at the bottom of the food chain
>>343114183
In an "Endless Ocean" (Wii) kind of way?
I kind of want to be paranoid of the deep sea.
>>343113663
because you're in a tight confined cave and they jump out from their holes to chase you down and wrap around you
>>343113972
>>343114175
If you are the kind of person that is completely afraid of the vastness of the ocean beneath you, then you'll have a lot of fun.
If you are afraid of just the monsters themselves, then you'll have fun for a while before you realize you've seen them all.
Kinda wished I didn't spoil myself of the game with these threads, you've told me where to go and where not to, and that most of the scary stuff ain't scary
>>343113972
How does this sound make you feel?
https://soundcloud.com/kamakazi/crabsquid
>>343113970

>>343114326

>dive in the open sea
>1000m below the surface

>your hear strange animal noises from the distance
>might be just a gentle sea creature
>might be a giant predator
That is your source of horror in this game. If this doesn't do it for you, you better look for a different game.
>>343114332
I see. Can't say they ever did that with me, I always see them first and they are just floating around like lazy fucks.
>>343114186
So the current size of it in game is just a placeholder for the real size it will have when it's properly released? Where have you read that?

Yes!
Thanks!
This is not comfy! This is potential nightmare fuel.
Off to buy the game finally
>>343109358
Looking at the roadmap maybe end of the year?: They have heaps of shit "planned" for the next couple months so I guess we'll see.
Game is worth $11 as is imo, I've already got 6 or so hours out of it and got more coming yet so I don't mind.Multiplayer/Co-op would be nice though, that's a huge let down for me
>>343114578
that's because you know they're there now
then I first found the jelly caves I had no idea until one came out at me
they need more non-hostile creatures or at least "defensive" ones to fill the game out a bit more
not everything can be a predator
>>343111303
are you swimming with your head above the water, mate?
salt deposits are everwhere on the ground in the shallows, kelp forest and grassy plateau. Just look for a white clump of stuff around flora
>>343111303
It's white like a crystal, and in abundance
>>343114607
Can't wait for this fucker to scare the shit outta me

I honestly prefer his nicknames, anon. They are amusing.
>>343110272
Not gonna lie, I had a laugh at pooping matinee
why is the draw distance so short in this game? Are they going to make it bigger?
>trying to see what this game plays like before I buy it
>go watch a video on youtube that has millon views and likes
>dumbass is just cheating everything into existence and instabuilding crap with no cost
Hermit crab that lives in one of the wrecks when?
>>343110350
>you literally have a scanner that tells you the name of every creature
What a fucking fag. Do you want a scanner that maps the entire ocean too, faggot?
>>343111578
To equip the rebreather?
>>343112872
>>343112794
I even get spooked by those little fuckers that give you a 3hp bite or w/e, the bleeders I think? Not the ones that stick to you, just little fish that bite you.
They come up out of nowhere fast as fuck when I'm working on my base and scare the shit out of me.
>>343115003
Have you ever been underwater in your life?
>>343115003
Yeah they'll be fixing the pop-in soon by removing terraforming
Terraforming is only for minecraft-tier autists anyway, it makes the game chug like your mom at a semen tasting contest
Sounds interesting but
>early access
I'll wait.
If it ends up tanking or getting raped like minecraft did like most early access garbage, so be it.
>>343109153
There's no bigger monsters than the Reaper in the stable build I think, sea dragon and sea emperor are coming soon (tm)
I just fixed the reactor. What next? Do I godeep?
The Reaper Leviathan being quick enough to move far enough from the player that it fades out of sight, and fast enough to almost instantly be on top of you
Mixed with the fact that it's fucking cry travels far too fucking far underwater, completely ruin my ability to explore the depths.
I've been down to the Grand Reef (Which is a shitty name btw, fucking boring ass spherical mushroom shit, nothing "Grand or "Reef" about it)
>>343115527
got a seamoth?
try and start getting the cyclops now
head out to the treaders path
easy way to get lithium
sit at 299 and dive down for it as they bring up the basalt
Precursors when?
>>343115848
>>343115848
they haven't really given a face to anything
and the little world building storyline tid-bits you find just refer to "They"
Creatures like the Reaper Leviathan make absolutely no sense considering where they frequent in-game at the moment.
And from a biological stand point.
They're too outright combat focused, (Mantis like Mandables just kinda ruin them)
Considering their speed, they should be in the Abyss, or mountain area almost exclusively. Wide open areas to allow them to utilize their speed, and catch pray unawares. Also not enough prey that would suit them in the game either.
>>343115358
its worth the $10 or 30 minute torrent to enjoy it while the threads are fresh. even if it doesnt become the best scuba game ever, its still really enjoyable right now. and like it or not, early access is how the cool atypical games get funded nowadays
>>343114907
what the fuck
>>343115740
Already got the Cyclops and shit ton of lithium when I was exploring around the mountain. I just gotta find aluminum so I can increase the crush depth of my seamouth
How do you like your bases? Small and comfy or giant research complex?
>>343116132
Game needs whales
>>343114907
Wh-what does it says
day nine and i just built a communications transmitter. I got the message from the aurora rescue team, and then also something called Goal_HolyDiver... what the fuck is that?
I went searching, got materials for my increased Depth module, but I'm too scared to use it since I ran into 2 Reaper Leviathans on my way to it. Those things are spooky, and APPARENTLY I'M NOT ALLOWED TO MOUNT A HARPOON OR DECENT WEAPONS ON MY VEHICLE
what do?
So I found an island, what the fuck is the point of it?
I've been playing and following the development of this game for a long time. In the last few updates, they've been adding nothing but seamoth/cyclops upgrades allowing us to dive really fucking deep. Got a feeling we'll go to the very bottom soon enough. They've also moved Seamoth fragments out of Grand Reef, making them easier to access early on.
They really want us to go in deep.
Heading to the Aurora for the first time, in my new radiation suit. Wish me luck lads

It's the Survival Assistant AI's voice being mildly distorted and playing a small audio riff from a cheech & chong movie while egging you to get closer to the creature.

This shit is perfect.
>>343106430
>suit upgrade that wards of hostile monsters
that's dumb. The monsters in this game wouldn't be afraid of it, if anything it'd attract them more
>>343116643
One island got some rare material on it, the other got ton of flaura, which can be planted and used as food. Plus plot.
>>343116643
I've been to two islands so far. One had a bit of lore and the other was a treasure trove of rare materials.

>find the fucker
>cute, slow

With the cpu temperature that high you better be wearing a radiation suit.

>>343116917
>rare materials.
What are you talking about exactly? Uranium or whatever its called?
>>343117052
its between 54-60 depending on what i'm doing, its also clocked.
>>343117167
It's got basalt deposits on it, so gold and diamonds.
>>343117167
Yeah the volcanic island don't have much stuff on it
What's with all the Subnautica threads lately? Don't get me wrong, I play and love the game, but its been out for over a year, now. Are we getting shilled?
>>343117406

>>343117406
wew lad sometimes people like games. this isnt a $100 million dollar project, i doubt subnautica team is spending tens of thousands to have enjoyable threads on /v/, but i would hope ea and other devs would follow their example when they eventually do again
>>343117406
Most people here have been interested in it for a long time but skeptical of the early acess tag. These threads + the sale convinced people to buy it.
>>343117705
They're just there to increase the energy cap so it can generate a surplus while I'm away, since bioreactors are pretty slow
is there a way that you can tell your coordinates? I can't tell if I'm in one of two different areas which are pretty damn far apart from each other. All I know is I'm a bit straight perpendicular to the Aurora's engines and I'm on the edge of shallows/kelp forest/grassy plateau. The three biomes are really close together here.
if i put two fish tank rooms on top of each other will i have two separate tanks or one that is extended
>>343117705

VERY poorly, like 40% Efficacy bad.
He should be using a Nuclear Reactor at that point, or thermal reactors.

Outposts in Jellyshroom caves, koosh, grand reef and 2nd blood kelp zone.
>>343116861
>2+bioreactors
I've built myself a 50m tall bioreactor tower for work in progress giant base. 10 reactors, each one powered by the awesome might of 16 Reginalds. You can never have too much energy.

I WANT MORE STUFF AND ITEMS FOR MY BASE
PUT SHIT IN MY BASE
PUT POSTERS ONTO WALLS IN MY BASE
GET NICE SHEETS FOR MY BED IN MY BASE
MAYBE A NICE ROW OF BOOKS
OR A COOL TEAPOT OR SOMETHING
How can you quickly get set up in this game? I want to get a submarine and explore the deep parts of the sea as fast as I can. I don't really like swimming around the shallow area you start in looking for rocks...
>>343118696
Besides just fantasy, is there a valid point to building more than one base and outposts? The cyclops already kind of does everything.

but shit this game one of the first games that scared me without it being a scripted jumpscare....

I take that back. I've no clue how much power the fucking Bioreactor actually makes, the fucking wiki is contradictory as hell.
Alright guys, bought this game couple months ago and made the Seamoth and pretty much stopped around there.
What's new or worth doing now?
>>343116523
It's glitched, it's supposed to say "Holy Diver, you've been gone too long in the midnight sea. Don't you see what I mean?"

Most spooked a game has ever made me, also reapers are scary af in open water for some reason
>>343119953
I did it. The world felt huge back then. Using the seaglide to move around and the air bladder to quickly rise for air every so seconds. Now I'm there in like 5 seconds in the cyclops.
>not spooked at all

Any good webm's yet?
And does anyone actually make a base on that floating island? I want to just because I want a house on a tropical island where I can just chill for a while.
>No weapons because it triggers one of the developers
>>343120737
Forgot pic and related video
silly me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qREKP9oijWI
How do I make the sea moth? I currently have a radiation suit and the habitat builder, obviously a knife and shit as well.
>>343120874
>Same developers who made Natural Selection 2
>>343107356
spend hours building a base. Realize there's no point as enemy AI is on par with Pacman ghosts, and you will never need said base for anything other than a sterile dollhouse, to watch a dead ocean.
I wish this game ran at a stable framerate. Sick of jumping between 20-40 fps then up to 60 then down to 20. It's all over the place
My expedition to the Aurora went fine despite only having the glider. I did see one reaper and it was scary. Also it's actually legit scary when you just see darkness in front of you in the ocean knowing what may be there. I suppose the reason why we are so scared of the deep sea is that it exists in real life. Can you imagine what must have been in the oceans millions of years ago?
>>343117406
Nothing wrong with shilling.
Yeah I said it. Please explain to me what is bad about positive discussion of a game
>>343121705
>Can you imagine what must have been in the oceans millions of years ago?
Yes?
>>343121172
Need to get the blueprint for it, scan the seamoth fragments on the grassy plateau.
Then build a mobile vehicle bay(its under deployables), deploy it, and build your seamoth.
>>343122027
Thats just the shit we know about.
What about shit thats at the bottom of the 80% of the ocean floor we haven't even seen.
>>343119861my pussy is moist now
boat making when
>>343117406
There was a thread a few months ago where there was definitely a Subnautica team member posting shit. He got bootyblasted when anons took a giant shit on some concept art, and definitely took it personal.
So yeah, since their progress is mind-numbingly slow, they have plenty of time to shill their game here. Game hasn't seen noteworthy progress in 2 years. It's all just been "what if we made a BIGGER fish, but this time with a dragon head!" updates.
Where's the webms?
So comfy
>>343122495
What the fuck is the point of a base above the waves in a fucking ocean exploring game.
>>343120494
Your base needs to be either completely out of the water or completely in the water otherwise that shit happens

>>343120874
There are torpedoes. But ignoring the dev's faggy convictions, more guns would make no sense in this game. This isn't rooty tooty point and shooty wildlife exterminator 2016. You're supposed to avoid them and find a way to get the hell off the planet. Things stop being threatening when they're easily killed. Survival 101.
>>343110350
>you're the only living person to have seen these creatures
>you have to accept these shit names your pokedex gives them
I mean fuck it calls two creatures "sandshark" and "boneshark" and neither of them look like sharks.
>>343118174
You have the compass and beacons you can place to give you a better bearing on where you are.
>>343123093
Lets be honest, people wont bring it down if the developer wasn't such a faggot with "MUH STADISTICS, GUNS KILL PEOPLE, THINK OF THE CHILDREN" shit.
>>343122698
>yfw these creatures roam the oceans
We should start a fucking crusade or something against these shits, they just too freaky.
>>343122698
>that video
>a colossal squid is larger than a sperm whale which eats colossal squid
>>343122561
It's comfy as fuck. Are you saying you didn't love Manaan? Same shit. Having an above water place on a vast ocean is just maximum comfy
Also it goes under water. The base starts above water and there are sections below as well as a long ladder down.
>>343120494
It will never go away. My first base had seaweed clipping through the floor.
>>343120087
Go to the mountain island, if you are standing at the life pod looking at aurora its to your left.
There will be "basalt outcrops" that drop gold and diamonds.
>>343120406
Someone mentioned this before, it apperently happens when you build the scanner room.
>>343123739
he should add an harpoon gun, something that wouldn't kill the big fish but repel them. cause if i were to get shot with an arrow/metal hook i would most likely retreat. thinking ouch this hurt me better leave for now.
>>343124247
Do you know if it goes away if you deconstruct it?
>>343110773
The old fashioned way. By being a quality game that people want to buy and tell other people about
>>343105278
I really want deep underwater currents. It would open up for a speed upgrade to the cyclops and act as a barrier to prevent deep sea exploration before you have the proper equipment. This could also make the Dive reel somewhat useful.
Maybe even add a global conveyor belt like the Golf stream and let us ride it to get around faster.
>>343124310
>something that wouldn't kill the big fish but repel them
play the game more
Fuck the snackbar fish, how the fuck do i outswim them early game
>>343124456
i have like 2 hours in the game, dunno if there is an late game thing for what i said. but it would be nice to have something early game. but if that makes shit too easy then it wouldn't make the game fun
>>343120494
>not wanting an indoor pool
Is this getting a PS4 release?
>>343124332
No idea bro.
Just saw some anon earlier who said it and noticed it had happend to me aswell.
Can't find any blueprints, is there anywhere specific i should be looking? Haven't been able to kick off this save because I can't find any really. The only thing I have so far is the seaglider or whatever.
Retarded question but how the fuck do I build power shit for a base? I don't have any power options with the builder.
>>343125085
You find more advance blueprints if you go deeper, the next step for you would probably be the seamoth,
You will find wrecks that stand out because they are white or look different from the normal ones.
These are seamoth fragments, you can scan them and get the blueprint.
So just go deeper and you will find stuff.
>>343125351
You need to find the blueprints.
Solar panel can be found in the safe shallows.
Just look for the grey boxes.
>>343106430
I'd love a neon suit that was made form parts of poisonous monsters that kept away certain enemies.
>>343124476
They're not very good at turning around so sometimes you can swim past them
i want to see fish fight each other, is it a thing in Subnautica?
>>343106430
>Repulsion field you can build around your base to keep away hostile monsters.
They're working on that along with having creatures attack your bases on occasion.
>suit upgrade that wards off hostile monsters, maybe consumes batteries.
A toxic burst using the Gasopod's spores would be cool, after you infuse yourself with their DNA so you don't get harmed yourself.
>some way to breath longer like an upgrade for the rebreather.
DNA infusing will allow for that.
>more variety of smaller friendly critters.
Agreed.
>better building placing system.
Agreed
>upgrading batteries to last longer.
Don't really need that with the rechargers.
>underwater currents that kinda act as a weather system?
This would be cool, riptides and currents that can pull you around, especially into/out of cave systems.
>ability to grab onto/pet creatures like the reefback.
Agreed.
>another vehicle.
Can't really think of anything else that wouldn't be a derivative of the ones we have.
>more biomes.
There's an arctic biome in the works, and several other ones are being made right now.
>a backpack.
Agreed, even if you have to craft it.
>distance reader for beacons.
Agreed.
>upgrades for the seaglide.
Not really much it could do besides go into overdrive for a few seconds.
>more o2 upgrades beyond the two we have.
You mean the High-Capacity Tank and the Ultralight Tank?
>nets for capturing wildlife, we already kind of have the grav ball tho.
Grav ball sucks, also nets can be used to slow down and distract predators.

How do I get silver reliably? I don't understand.
I had a ton at the start, but now I'm mostly out because I mined up the start area, and the nodes have titanium, copper, and lead, just not silver.
>>343125791
The two different shark looking assholes constantly try to chase and eat the regular fish (when they aren't being retarded and trying to carry metal salvage around), but I've yet to see any fighting.
>>343125869
I would like something larger than the seamoth but still small enough to get into nooks and crannies.
Really vague but i feel to safe in the Cyclops.
>>343126058
i guess i won't buy it then, fuck i wanted some fish action

Lithium batteries are a thing.
>>343126267
Cant it carry a seamoth? You drive the submarine out wherever you are going then you deploy the moth
You ready for some tentacle action?
>>343105278
is there any pressure in the game or can you just dive 10 miles in your wetsuit?
>>343126537
it has crush depth for the subs
you need a rebreather or else you can't breath for shit under 200 feet
you can dive down at any depth in your suit, would take ages without a sub though
>>343126537
At 200m and below your oxygen runs out a bit faster until you upgrade to the rebreather. So no. You dive with 1 minute of oxygen in your tank because you're some kind of retarded asthmatic. It's just not a very realistic or even sensible game.
>>343126537
At the moment there's no crushing pressure for the player, your oxygen just gets used up faster and faster unless you have the rebreather. They're going to implement you being squished if you're too deep laster.
Also, the deepest parts of the game and the most important story-wise will be accessible only to the Exosuit, which is why it has a bunch of weapons and tools on it. You're going to have to face at least one Sea Dragon Leviathan and whatever's keeping the Sea Emperor and any human survivors imprisoned at 1700 meters below.
Sea Dragon looks goofy as fuck and they dropped the ball with big monsters in general. Fuck you devs.
>>343110350
Wow, this is fucking autistic.
You're the type of guy that didn't drink until he was 21 because he couldn't conceive of doing something illegal, huh?
Take the stick out of your ass.
God damn are sand sharks annoying. In previous versions they didn't chase much and weren't instantly hostile, but now they chase me all the way to the surface and outrun me with fins and a seaglide.
Fuck those assholes. Over and over and over they start chasing me from up to 30 feet away and don't stop till they take a little under a third of my hp or I swim a mile away.
>>343126920
>weapons
Anon....
>>343126997
Everyone says this and all they can say when asked what they want is "something Lovecraftian, unimaginable, freaky". Show us what you'd rather have besides the Sea Dragon.
>>343126014
Sandstone has silver in it. You're mostly hitting limestone. You have to go deeper or to different biomes to get good amounts of sandstone. Unfortunately you also can get gold out of it. I'm in your same situation. Shit ton of copper and gold, but no silver.
>>343127160
Something that doesn't have humanoid hands and cartoony looking head that's for sure even a fucking generic sea serpent would be better than this Emperor wannabe
pic related could work even with Subnautica graphics
>>343127118
I know exactly what I said.
http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Exosuit
Look at everything it has and can be equipped with. Those drill arms make mincemeat of even the Reaper Leviathan.
>>343126920
>Keeping the sea emperor imprisoned
You are supposed to rescue a fucking sea emperor?
Does he give you his mermaid daughter as a reward?
>>343127689
you can ride him through time to fight Sea-Alduin
>>343127402
We already have a sea serpent. Also, nature doesn't care about your personal tastes, look at all the goofy-as-fuck real animals alive today and throughout Earth's history.
if you buy this early access game, can I still play the full version once it's released?
>>343127160
I just think they could do a better job on it. It looks like a big goofy animatronic that roars like Godzilla with a kid friendly "Thanks Doc" green and purple stripped colour scheme.
>>343127402
This game needs some kind of giant kraken type monster. I know there are already those passive giant squid things but they're basically just whales and ignore you. A giant, aggressive octopus looking monster would be awesome.
>>343127938
Yeah but this is a game that's supposed to be cool.
>>343127942
??????????????????????????????????
Jesus christ this game. I feel safer in the mushroom forests than I do near the Aurora, as soon as I lose sight of a fucking Leviathan I'm outta there.
>>343128013
One creature your personal opinion says isn't good isn't going to ruin the entire game.

>>343128743
you have my attention
the reasoning they gave for not putting weapons in is so silly
"we don't want more guns in the world because of the history of gun violence in america" but "you're on a hostile alien world where all the dumb alien wildlife wants to fucking kill you" is probably the single time where you're most justified in having a gun on you
Like just say "We wanted the player to feel like the prey rather than predator" or "You can't craft a weapon because this is a future where weapons are highly criminalized"

don't trust that anon. The world is static. You can't change the environment, and the world is always the same (devs said randomly generated worlds were too hard). NPC AI is terrible, basically boils down to just bee-lining straight for you. Only variation is enemy size. World feels dead. Sure it will entertain you for maybe 20 hours, but then you'll realize that you've basically beaten the game and uninstall.
I'm not even a fan of Minecraft, but it did it much, much better than this game.
the game needs some seriously big creature and have it a rare occurence or something

You're in the deep end, the DEEP end. Not to mention if you reached the dunes let alone the entrances to The Void.

fug
Around the pod area, grab the yellow seed pods from the kelp looking things and use them to craft rubber->swimming fins. Then craft a scanner and scan all the little safe like looking boxes. Once you're able to build the Seaglide/Seamoth, you'll easily explore the areas.
>>343129385
You posted the exact same thing that's been posted multiple times in every single Subnautica thread with the exact same wording and sentence structure.
And to answer your statement, there are plenty of self-defense methods in the game, and it doesn't need guns in the first place, it's not Resident Evil.
>>343129351
If there is literally nothing but water, then it is a DirectX render or something like that problem. If I remember right all you need to do is go into the redistribute folder or whatever and install the DirectX.
Or, just look up the problem. It is something about a render problem though. I had that issue the very first time I played.

You can fire guns underwater, and there are special firearms that are able to be used relatively efficiently underwater. Stop being a no guns retard.
If anything it would be like a laser or plasma gun. Sandy hook didn't involve any of those, I don't know why the cuck developer means that they can't be used either.

Considering you'd be crushed going several thousand meters above the ocean surface, I doubt your gun would fare well. There are no guns meant for the deep ocean because people generally don't go down there to hunt things.
Also the type of people who whine about no guns won't be happy unless AR-15's and AK's get in. Any futuristic weapons or concessions won't be enough. "FUCKING KEK DEVS THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS NOT GUN SHIT. FUCKING LIBERALS"

how would guns make the game better though?
it would just become Cabelas Deep Sea Hunter
there are already enough weapons in the game, all that might be added is a spear + rope to snatch fast swimming fish
otherwise for defense what exists already is enough.
>>343132025
>WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WANT THIS FOR OUR WORLD YOU DUMBASS

>a more organic swimming animation
I hate the way they designed them because of how it makes the animator do their swimming animations, they're terrible. They're also still as hell in the abs/chest/head/neck/shoulders, I hope that changes at least. Maybe have them using their arms to move around by grabbing surfaces? I don't know.
Did they at one point mention not doing that massive sand trap monster thing because it was too hard to animate? I feel like if that was the case, my hopes should be set a lot lower.
I really hope the draw distance gets buffed up soon, at least the ability to turn it on higher even if it gimps preformance. Popins are killing me.

You realize that the game's still being worked on and the Sea Dragon's not done yet, yes?
According to what I've read, the devs thought the Sandworm (really a crab/lobster thing) was "too overpowered" and they stopped working on it. Apparently making it not OP is really hard for some reason.

Madman. And how? Did you just swim a lot too? The batteries burn through in less than a minute or so. Also you should really just make more, batteries are so easy to make, before I established my seabase and built rechargers, I'd just make a few batteries each day and toss the dead ones off of the pod every night.
>>343134648
So they're basically imposing their own agendas unto their playerbase instead of just giving us the option to have a proper weapon.
>>343134820
Not the same guy, but I did the same thing; Batteries are fairly common in the little wreaks in boxes around the Aurora, so I ended up with plenty.
>>343105278

>>343134534
Many things in the oceans have "arms".
>>343134607
You can collect DNA samples from creatures and infuse them into either yourself or other creatures, and it bestows a permanent effect. One will let you swim deeper without being crushed, another will reduce your oxygen consumption, another swim faster. I think you can only do a total of 4 infusions, though, so you have to pick wisely.
>>343134765
That you make from a creature who naturally creates toxic gas. Using an environmental resource.
>>343134880
Yes, kiddo, that's exactly what they're doing. Just like how all devs don't do what you personally want them to do, like make Zelda a rape simulator.
>>343134648
Holy shit, who cares what he thinks about guns, but this is just insipid thought.
>We can't give the players harpoons because they only have one use and people would want to kill
So make a harpoon that can work as a grappling hook, or resource gathering tool, or anchor, or SOMETHING. He goes off on the most ridiculous, unrealistic thing that definitely won't be added to the game when we could just be given a multipurpose tool instead of an asinine gimmick.
>>343134880

The issue is they have clearly human arms and not some other appendage or something that looks "kind of human". They just flat out have the arms of a species from another planet
>>343135254
No, I know that many sea creatures have arm-like fins, but come on. Look at the fucking seadragon. It has fucking fingers on it. Things that like that deep down in the ocean don't get to borrow something that goes well on an amphibian or water bird
>>343134074
I don't think they;re going to change the over all design of the monsters any time soon, so that's why I feel the way I do.

I feel sorry for you though, as you will ahbsolutely have a hard time in life if you see agendas everywhere and refuse to interact with things due to that paranoia
Reminder that the reason we don't have guns isn't beause of muh feels, it's because you're a scientist, not a soldier.
The devs felt like adding guns would simplify the game too much and want people to get creative.

Nature wouldn't make a reptile with squid tentacles, it's too sporey atm.
I'm personally fine with the wierd combination of parts but it just looks cartooney when compared to the wierd squid things near the treaders. It honestly looks spore tier to me. I bet they could make it look better with different textures alone. The reaper is borderline spore tier also imo.

Because only humans have that kind of front limb structure, right? Being alien doesn't necessarily mean it's also going to be incomprehensibly weird and unknown to anything we've ever seen before. Evolution works the same everywhere and some things are "universals", they'll always be things that creatures evolve: eyes, wings, limbs, etc.

But...that's not what the seamonsters arms/hands look like
they are human arms. They are not shortened amphibian arms, they are not little trex arms. They bbasically took that old bird arm meme and applied it to a seamonster
Also a corc isn't the same as a creature that lives several miles deep in the ocean.

Gordon Freeman was a scientist.
Isaac Clarke was an engineer.
They got forced into a situation where they had to defend themselves against hostile entities.
If I crashlanded on an alien planet with hostile wildlife, you'd bet your fucking ass I'd want to arm myself against any potential threats.
Even Star trek crew arm themselves when going down to alien planets, and they're explorative scientists.
I see what they are going for, but completely denying it is asinine.
>>343135803
Nigga.
That's a fucking crocodile arm. You know why it has that? Because it's a fucking reptile, not a god damn deep-sea dweller. It lives in shallow water and is known to drag to its fat ass into land.
Deep sea monsters like the sea dragons have ZERO reason to have arm-like appendages instead of full on fins, because they don't crawl out to dry land.
The only way evolution is invovled in this is if the sea dragon was originally a land reptile that through some sort of fuckery became a deep sea predator and for some reason still has its janky ass reptile hands

I fail to see what you're getting so upset about and why you're defending the devs on this decision. If I want to shoot and kill shit, why can't they just give me the fucking option to do so in a video game about surviving a hostile environment? Because the devs are bleeding their hearts out and wants me to think of the children.
And yes, the game is piss easy. Adding a lethal gun wouldn't take away any challenge giving how shitty the predators' AI are.

just strap some mini seagliders onto it that activate when you swing it.

I always wanted it but finally picked it up a few days ago on sale. Already have 20 hours and I'm not even remotely bored yet and there is still a couple biomes I haven't explored yet. Don't let shill anon put you off, he is just salty a game went on sale and everyone actually likes it. Also, I usually hate survival games but this one I like.

b/c instead of being spooky, it's just a silly/cartoonish instant death trap.

I would be fine if the dragon didn't look like it belonged in spore. Look at this >>343128340 and then look at pic related, which do you think is scarier.

>It breathes fire
...Well, fuck me in the ass, I've got nothing.
If you refuse to give me guns.
Then let me upgrade my seamoth and Cyclops to mount a blade ram onto them instead. I'm already murdering fish by the hundreds just by traveling and bumping into them, might as well go all the way then.

They both are, one for being made of ooky creature parts and having an EMP and making clicky icky noises and the other for being fucking ginormous and able to eat you and your Seamoth in one bite and having a pants-shitting roar.
>>343137175
You have torpedoes.
>>343136975
Please post more meme arrows.

That does fuck-all to deter leviathans
>mfw found out crashes can destroy the terrain like an actual bomb
That just made it scarier.
>>343137468
>torpedoes
If you can hit the damn things, they're possibly the slowest moving objects in the game, going at a pace like an ant pushing a brick across the desert.
>>343136706
The ONLY reason you care is because you see the lack of guns as some sort of pandering to a political group you hate, and this upsets you and triggers jealousy that your side isn't pandered to
>>343137683
except that's wrong, it sends them scared
also you can stasis an leviathan
why are you so scared of reapers anyways, they are easy to avoid.
if you could just kill them it would be no fun and no challenge

I know the feeling.
