Let's have our daily subnautica thread
How's your base and exploration going? I visited the Aurora, repaired the radiation and now i've built myself a seamoth. However still need to find a moonpool so i can build a upgrade station to put solar panels on it. Sucks the sandstone is so damn hard to find.

I've since learned to always point one eye to my o2 meter because christ that caught me off guard
>>343209107
>hardcore save
One death is all it takes for you to lose everything..And since dying is quite easy i don't wanna do that
IS this game good?
The only survival game I tried wasminecraftand I really do like exploration.
>>343209269
makes the game more tense for me, I've played enough by now that the creatures aren't really frightening anymore. Except the crabsquid, fuck that thing.
>>343209456
c-crabsquid? W-where
>>343209409
They keep updating it and it's quite good if you enjoy deep sea
>>343209757
fuck, i hate even more dangerous fishes.
BIG BASE A SHIT. POST COMFY BASE.
>>343209838
That's bretty cool. Where did you build it? And what's that sphere in the upper right corner?
My base is in the safe plains right below my escape pod. Perhaps i'll build another one further away. First priority now is to find sandstones and moonpool blueprints
threadly reminder that building a scanner room will remove ambient sounds from your game
How the hell are you supposed to get anywhere?
The only real way to defend yourself is a survival knife, which is complete shit. If you want to go into those Kelp forest, you have to horde a shit ton of small fishes to keep the Stalkers off you, or else you get fucked by them. They expect you to go into these areas, but how can you do so if you can't defend yourself from the things within them?
Also, how the hell do you deal with Crash's? Pic related. You either get lucky and have them get stuck under the terrain, or else you get fucked by them. If you are under 80 health you can die from them. How do you handle them?
>>343210248
Guess i'm not doing it then. What's the point of them anyway?
>>343210374
Fuck, forgot pic
>>343209990
Built it inside the largest island in the underwater islands biome. The "sphere" building is the scanner room.
>>343210374
get a seaglide and mlg dodge all predators
>>343210385
they scan for any resource you specify within 50m (I think?) by default, can be upgraded though. There's also an upgrade that makes said resources show up on your HUD and it lets you build camera drones. sounds cool and all, but it really isn't worth not being able to hear any predators or fauna. Hopefully they patch it soon.
>>343210385
It's a bug, they'll fix it. Scanner rooms pinpoint any resource you scan for up to a certain distance away, and they have remote cameras for exploring.

>daily subnautica thread
You are opening more than a daily thread, Mr developer.
This forum adversting package you bought for your game during the steam sales is really good. Can I ask you the name of the marketing company in charge of the advertising campaign?
>>343210374
>>343210374
It's called progression and observation.
You're not supposed to see stalkers until you have a seamoth at the least; which is easily fast enough to get away from them. Crashes make a clacking noise, there's no reason not to know they aren't around. you can deal with them by either stasis rifle or seaglide to outrun them.
Or you can stop being a pussy and knife them dead before they explode.
>>343210374
You need the Seamoth.
>>343210931
Did you do this nonsense when Smash 4 was being hyped? "Hi, Mr. Sakurai, thanks for visitng 4chan, can you tell us what characters you're cutting from Brawl? Please say the one I hate most is gone".

>China is speeding up efforts to design and build a manned deep-sea platform to help it hunt for minerals in the South China Sea, one that may also serve a military purpose in the disputed waters.
>Such an oceanic “space station” would be located as much as 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) below the surface, according to a recent Science Ministry presentation viewed by Bloomberg.
>The project was mentioned in China’s current five-year economic plan released in March and ranked number two on a list of the top 100 science and technology priorities.

Just maybe
People want to talk about games they like
Oh wait I forgot the "/v/ hates video games haha" meme that is so popular
Better make this an e-celeb thread, right?
>>343208747
go to /vg/ and stop spamming this fucking game
>>343211129
Dude I killed a stalker with a knife as soon as I could. Didn't even have the glide. Progression in these kind of games is purely up to the individual.
>>343211205
Smash 4 was being hyped when the game was going to release, not 2 years later like subnautica
It's too obvious, we never had 5 subnautica generals the last christmas steam sales you know. This advertising campaign on 4chan is too forced, they should do it more subtle

I say that about all of the games people keep shilling on /v/. We don't need any Final Fantasy, Dissidia, Smash Bros, DoA, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, or PC threads here, take that shit to /vg/ where discussing games is allowed. The games I hate especially need to go, seeing a thread about them makes me so fucking pissed off.

Agreed, /v/ should be about 4chan culture and epic for the win screencaps that will earn me karma on /r/4chan
This is the latest build right?
>>343211498
Well it works, because I just bought the game.
>>343211360
>3,000 meters
>3 fucking thousand meters
crazy fuckers
>>343210374
Stalkers can easily be dodged w/o anything. Once they're directed at you, they go towards location and have to realign themselves if you sideways. So if you have one on you, you can just zigzag your way away from it until you get to safety.
So is there an endgame to this? Or is it just another build/survival game like Rust or whatever?
Where the fuck are the seasons blueprints? I've got everything else and I've looked round for hours
>>343211802
story is slowly being implemented, at the moment there is no real endgame
>>343211753
And thats why I asked them the name of the marketing company they are using anon.
>>343211742
latest stable build is from may, so you should be good
Give me a comfy location for a base
Not too deep pls, I need a comfy view.
ALSO DO NOT APPROACH BACK SIDE OF AURORA

this isn't a spessgame, you explore the ocean and some islands
>>343212371
Google Ahmed Gabr.
So I'm almost at 2 hours on this game and need to decide whether to refund it or keep it. The game is pretty fun so far, but I've been tricked into buying early access survival games before. I have 290 hours on Ark and I regret the purchase greatly (most of that was idling, but still).
>>343212273
Think of it as making it more challenging
>>343212505
lame
>>343210931
agree with this guy then ban these threads
>tfw the biggest scare in the game is going under the map
>>343212109
Grassies plateaux. Comfy as fuck and close to whatever you need
when is the game's release? I'm not a fan of playing unfinished games
>>343212453

Obligatory.

Also, I can't figure out what exactly is causing this. No waves at all until I restart.

You pop your ears on the way down. Like on an airplane.
>>343212570
>>stop playing what I don't like

>>343212548
It keeps getting updated regurlary, but I guess it really depends if you like the deep sea enough to play a game entirely based on it
>>343212738
august supposedly, though they still have a good chunk of stuff to finish before then according to their trello
>>343212774
>raise one
how? In the ayy lmao tank?
>>343212109
On the edge of or within the blood kelp biome, because it has plentiful crystal which you will need a shitload of for glass
>>343211760
Either the hull is super thick or the individual modules are very small inside, like just large enough in diameter to stand up. Because the larger the volume of air you enclose, the hull thickness must increase exponentially to withstand such intense pressure differentials. I am expecting something like the ISS but smaller modules.
>>343210374
Stalkers are very easy to kill with a knife, just strafe and they can't turn fast enough to bite you.
Once you get the sea glide and an o2 tank you can dive down to like 150m as long as you're careful.
The sea glide will let you evade the Crash fish too.

>>343212738
They say August, but I doubt that.
>>343212548
If you don't see yourself enjoying it much longer, just refund. I actually already did that once with this game back in the winter sale. Decided I was more in the mood for Elite Dangerous at the time so refunded this and bought that instead. Don't regret that choice one bit. Just bought this again the other day now that it's further along though. It really is more of a make your own fun kind of game, so your enjoyment hinges on your interest in the setting. I'd say it probably won't last you as long as Ark did despite your dislike for it.
I haven't played this in over a year is it an actual game now?
>>343213336
I wouldn't say it's an actual game until it releases or puts out a version with your objectives and the mission/story to complete.
But it has added a lot of things.
I've seen enough hentai.
>>343213336
Yeah, if only because base building has been fleshed out. It's worth it even just to build Rapture and chill in your cozy little habitat watching fish go by through huge windows
>>343213523
>Build giant underwater city
>No one to share it with until multiplayer finally gets implemented
Till then, we're all going to have to be crazy fish men.
Gorgeous game bought it during the steam sale. I played the shit out of it for 10 hours and experienced everything there is to see. Built my seamoth and cyclops, upgraded my base, got all the fragments.
I thought I might try and build a base near the thermal vents but just didn't see the need to. So I stayed near the kelp forest. Fun and atmospheric game, give it a 8/10. Waiting for more updates and content until I jump back into it.
>>343208747
i'll wait a while before i pick this up. Thanks for the shilling. ill keep my eye on this
It's time to decide

am I wrong or can you not see the sun unless it's during a solar eclipse in this game?
>>343214094
Biters and sandsharks are smalltimes. Spike plants aren't that common if you don't go deep, and I've never seen a Reaper hangs out around there, the closest one is roaming in the nearby mushroom forest a good two minutes of Seamoth away.
>>343213727
isn't Subnautica made by a small team of former modders?
I mean a lot of people say in order to make a good looking game you need a huge, AAA style budget, but games like this seem to prove the contrary.
muh base
>>343214817
I'd use one of the slav games like Metro or STALKER to prove quality isn't by having billions of clams. They have at the most extreme half of what AAA developers do but have put out better games.
>>343214952
well now you can just mention mighty number 5.6 and get the same point across
>>343208747
I bought this a year ago but i'm not touching it till it comes out of EA. It's like spoiling yourself.

I didn't even know about riptides at the time or the way the bottom just suddenly drops really sharply
>>343216541
I think /v/ likes it because it's a pretty atmospheric deep sea game where you can't just kill every creature you run into.
At it's core it's just another survival crafting game. If the setting and atmosphere doesn't appeal to you and neither do survival crafting games it's not really for you.
>>343216750

its all about the depth
>>343217226
I like this game but I really don't enjoy gathering materials. Some of the stuff is cool to get but it's pretty fucking lame when I'm just swimming around looking for fucking rocks and shit.

>>343217767
how far does it pull you before you can swim back though
Just bought subnautica. Should i do my first playthrough on hardcore or play it normally?
How the fuck do I get into the aurora? I visited it and it was a half-rendered mess with invisible walls and shit textures out the wazoo. Is there a single model across all games, or is it procedurally generated?
>>343217819
>>343217767
>>343217597
Your suppose to swim towards the ocean or parallel to the shore for a good couple of yards till you stop seeing or feeling the pull of water
>>343217924
You go to the front.
>>343218020
What if you keep swimming towards the ocean and never feel the pull stop? Land starts to get smaller and smaller on the horizon but the pull is still there.
Do you just give up your life on land and embrace your new life as a fish?
>>343217819
it'll pull you back beyond where waves start to break
if you're a strong swimmer it's easy to deal with, just swim parallel to the shore for a ways while you're getting pulled out until you feel you aren't being pulled, then you can swim back to shore. the problem is for kids or people who aren't aware what's going on and try to fight the current, exhausting themselves and becoming panicked. a large amount of people die each year from them sadly
>>343216750
Dropoffs ain't no joke
Almost drowned because of one
>>343217314
This. There need to be craftable harvesting robots.
>>343215524
keep in mind that many games never get out of early access, or never are released on the full glory of what was promised on the early stages (or what people imagined to be promised).
Can a toaster run this game or really need at least a cpu capable of 4 threads like its advertised by the requirements? Can't upgrade at least for the next few months.
>>343217843
Normally, you gon die guaranteed

Oh I feel you man, when I was younger I was being pulled towards a bunch of rocks by a rip tide.
I remember waving to get my mom's attention but she thought I was just saying hi.
Good thing a lifeguard was there to save me.
>>343219052
About as long as you'd expect for $15 but as a sandbox and exploration game it continues to entertain long after you've built everything there is to.
A lot of people make the seamoth, cyclops and a sea base, then stop playing. That's retarded. The point is to explore.
>>343218689
They actually can. Bring them small fish, and there is a chance they'll drop a chunk of metal near you. Just be careful, it's temporary.
>>343216750
Remember going toGotlandonce and at the southern end there being plateaus of limestone toy could walk out on until it met the ocean and just dropped off straight down, and seeing the seaweed being pulled down under it. Sends shivers down my spine just to this day.
>>343217110
What's wrong with the scanner room? I just got the game like 2 days ago.
>>343216750
As a kid I used to swim so far out into the ocean I could barely see land. Never had a problem coming back in, was later confused at how adult ended up dying in the ocean, but I'd occasionally end up so far down the beach I'd be lost. Parents called the police the last time I did it and they found me twenty miles away. It was the last time I was allowed in the ocean alone.
>>343219204
Are there any fun things and places to actually explore though? For example, Oblivion had a dead troll under a bridge with a little suicide note, and abandoned camps, and shipwrecks that made the world feel alive. Are there little touches like that, or is it just a featureless world to build a base and gather stuff in?
>>343219052
If you've only just got 15 credits then you put it away and save it for another time.

t. Subnautica Dev
Can you still repair or do anything with the aurora afterit explodes? I went there but couldn't find an entrance or anything.
Oh shit, here comes that threadly reminder!
>>343219942
I thought you could only get inside AFTER the fact?
>>343219942
Yeah, if you repair the reactor, weld all the holes in the hull and restart primary power then you can take an elevator to the bridge and start the engines. Then you get a special gameover screen where you fly off the planet.
>>343219975
I don't see why you would need guns in this game or how that could make it any better.
>>343219975
What a faggot. I want a harpoon gun, unless some sjw convention gets shot up I don't see any reason we can play as a whaler
>>343220110
uh, I'll look better I guess, since the textures where all pixeled and shit I thought there was nothing to do with it.
>>343219975
As much of a faggot the dev is, I do agree that this game doesn't need guns.
worth a pirate or a purchase?
>>343219975
That's tragic, I don't feel bad about pirating now

Gonna mention the part that this faggot never includes with his post.
This guy is not the only dev on the team. Recently, the nerve gas torpedos that were added made that dev upset, because the rest of the team IGNORED HIM and put them in anyway.
>Be lifeguard 2 years ago.

>>343220354
Didn't know they hired fatties as lifeguards.
>>343220279
It's a good game that's worth the 12 bucks. But the dev is a hippy faggot so take that in mind.
>>343220353
Is this true? I knew there were other members of the team but I thought the hippy fag was the lead designer and made all the decisions basically.
>>343219701
Yes, there is stuff exactly like that. Abandoned rusty habitats with left behind crew journals for example. But the real attraction is exploring the different biomes and seeing what lives there.

needs a music player device that we can add our songs to so it can play in the background while you're in the base
>>343219975
>>343220353
I can understand the game having no guns because the setting, but he is 100% retarded with "muh feeling bullshit" so if the team ignores him, even better
>>343220845
The map size so far is enough to add a couple extra hours to gameplay after the ones you spend building all the gear. I would say maybe 6 hours in total right now, but you have to ask yourself what is reasonable to expect for $12.

Na, I genuinely couldn't get past watching the water streak down the screen like that.
>>343221045
Crash fish have poor turning speed? I'll have to try that out, but the ones I usually find are in small areas. I usually have to let them explode on me and just raid the nest before healing and trying the next one.
I would at least like to be able to throw a fish at them and have it blow them up
>>343220930
that's pretty neat. I'm trying to figure out where to place the moonpoo. Any pics of where you have placed yours?
I feel like this game should have 2-player co-op. And just 2 player. The starting life pod has two chairs and I think it would quite add to the immersion without taking away from the isolation. Also would increase the longevity of the game, increase the chance of shenanigans during exploration (especially once the Cyclops is made) and make collecting resources less of a chore.
Loving the game though. I don't know how big the map is at the moment, I've only gone as far as the Kepling plants on one side and the crashed Aurora on the other.
>>343221339
Damn. Bad luck.
But if it helps, I remember when I used to go swimming I would always get water inside my goggles so maybe it's possibly you would still see water running over your actual eyes.

They're calling it a space station because that's the tech they're trying to copy with it.
Chinks literally cannot create anything on their own. They copied the shinkansen, and it exploded, killing all passengers. They stole a Russian battleship scheduled to be scrapped, then fucked up its guns and turned it into a useless ceremonial warship. They copied American toilets and somehow turned them into IEDs.
They will do nothing less than build a massive tomb at the bottom of the sea, dump a bunch of unfortunate graduate students in it, then literally bury the entire thing when everyone gets trapped inside after part of it explodes, like they did with the shinkansen clone wreckage.
Chinks are not human.

>military purpose
Fucking americans. When china does it it's always for nefarious military reasons. But if america built one then it would be for furthering scientific research and for humanitarian purposes. Even the missiles would just be there for quick access to the surface and certainly not for firing at other countries.
>>343218170
Ideally you swim parallel to shore. Iirc the way rip tide currents are formed they don't go out more than a couple miles and if you can't swim that or know how to take a breather while swimming then you shouldn't be in the ocean in the first place.

Chinese takeout is American Cuisine, you ever eat something in China?I have, and thank god we taught those chinks to cook over here because otherwise they'd be serving bugs and fish heads with bird vomit soup.
is this a known bug?
i was swimming around, a bit far from the escape pod but not more than a few minutes from it. i saw some big creatures that were new to me and made some weird sounds, but didn't seem hostile as i got near them. they were flat looking, don't remember much else or their name. anyway, i was swimming away and all my fucking tools just dropped, and for some reason i had the default items found in the storage thing that i had took out and dropped earlier, the water and food blocks (since i'm playing on 'murica mode). do those creatures have some incredibly stupid fuck your inventory and logic mechanic or was it unrelated to them and just a bug?
>>343209107
Is this the kind of game that makes it fun to see how far you can get and start over, or is it just a huge pain in the ass?
I don't mind failing in, say, Don't Starve. But dying in Survival in Fallout 4 and losing time pisses me off so bad that I just don't play the game anymore.
Also, Mr. Nogunz needs to get the official release done so that he can start the console ports. I mean he's already working on the Xbone port before it's even released, which I really don't understand, but I guess you don't have to have a game done these days to release it. I just don't think my laptop can handle it at all and would rather sit back on PS4 like I play everything else.
I love everything I see so far, but can I change the dude I play as? If not, any plans in the future?
His anime hair is annoying see every time I see a shadow.
>>343222967
Yeah, shit dropping out of your inventory seems to happen to people, though the closest I've experienced to it was a random food block warping into my inventory.
I just bought this game, I pirated it before I couldn't play it without console commands because I hated how vulnerable I was. Did I fuck up?I have a really big fear of the deep sea

How would you feel if there was a creature that made you start hallucinating and seeing ghosts and hearing noises? Maybe some sort of barnacle that gives off an electromagnetic field.
>>343225334
Why would there be ghosts in the ocean? How would they survive down there without oxygen?
Wait, if this is Subnautica, then what the fuck is that other deep sea game that had the trailer with the hermit crab shipwreck on the sonar and shit?
The one where if you zoomed in on your sub you'd see your crew in this cartoony art style that didn't match the game at all.
Hot damn, I've never been so tempted to pick up an Early Access game before. The open ocean is both scary and interesting as fuck and this game looks like it captures that perfectly. It worth the current 40% off price or shall I just pirate it? I've watched a fair bit of gameplay and it looks like it provides both comfy atmosphere and terrifying atmosphere.
>>343223928
Okay this pretty much sold it for me, have they said when this is getting put in?

I would wonder what the description says when you cook the barnacle in the fabricator.

Diluvion. Confused me too.
>>343225334
would be about as subtle as a brick to the face. but something that makes you see/hear things that aren't there would be good, as long as it wasn't ghosts or something retarded. maybe something that is really small and basically harmless, but follows you around and hides near your base, making you hear things in other parts of the base, or behind you in the submarine. at the very most, maybe something that makes your radio play fake, spooky distress signals.
>>343225542
it's currently a good price in the steam sale, i'd say it was well worth getting it.
>>343225542
according to trello, mesmer is supposed to be re-added in July-ish. But keep in mind it's been pushed back for a couple months now. Which isn't really a bad thing because development does it all the time, but it must have been pretty buggy.
> It worth the current 40% off price or shall I just pirate it?
Up to you really. You can pirate it to try it out and then buy it since the sale is still supposed to go on.
You should check out their trello boards if you want to keep track of their development in relation to when you should buy it or not.

>>343225334
What if, instead of creatures with wierd mind-affecting powers, your character just went mad. You're isolated alone on a strange planet. You're sole survivor of a catastrophic crash. I think it's understandable that he would start hallucinating dead crew members when walking around his underwater habitat. Catch a glimpse of someone at the far end of a corridor. But when you start to move in that direction, they dart around a corner. You go over and there's nothing there.
No monsters, no mind-control. You're just slowly losing it.
Very slowly losing it, that is. Wouldn't want it getting worse as if it was an in-game time limit.
Any idea when this game is coming out? I'm really interested in it but I'm not touching a fucking early access ever again.

You answered your own question, check the pods those exploding fish come out of.
>>343229923

This will be fixed when they get rid of modifiable terrain. It's because the terrain is split up into a hojillion little chunks right now.

I'm glad they have the 3 different modes.
I don't want to worry about food and water so I'm skipping out on Hardcore for now.
Survival is a good middleground because 15 minutes in creative mode made me realize I'd get bored of the game faster.
>>343230373
there should be ground-colored stuff in the middle of the pod. The pod should be opened now since the suicide bomber left.

actually that sounds pretty comfy. Like watching a thunderstorm. If they're far away, that is
If they see you and come then shit stops being okay.
I would like if there was some sort of camouflage system just so we could wander near the leviathans and watch them. There's something very comfy about being able to observe natural power.
Or I might be fucked in the head, everyone I spoke to fucking hates thunder and lightning
>>343230939
>putting windows in your base
There is your mistake. The sea is scary bro, when there are no windows you can pretend you are on land.
Please help me. My save got corrupted so I guess I'm gonna start a new save - what's the best things to concentrate right off the bat? I was 2 hours in and trying to find fucking silver but I couldn't, I wanted to put a fabricator in a mini base I was constructing.
What's the best way to get decently equipped somewhat quickly? It took me 2 hours to get a single building up like 50m from my pod and I had a scanner, a welder, and a radiation suit. That's it. I didn't use the fucking knife because I can't seem to kill the barricuda things in the creepvine trenches.
Finally got my moonpool built, and the upgrade station for my seamoth, and renamed it and changed color in light of the change.
>>343231165
I live in a desert, any promise of moisture is pleasing
Where's a good spot to start a first base?
I put mine only about 50m from my escape pod.
>>343231286
my base right now. At some point i want to make another base further away.
>>343230939
Not only no, but fuck no. This is sort of why i don't want a base further in the deep sea.
>>343231286
Since you just repainted it for the first time, I will give you some advice so you do not have to figure it out on your own.
You want the most gaudy and noticeable seamoth you can build. It will really help when you are in the deep dark trying to find it. The beacon is not enough when you are only a few feet away.
One of the things I really like about the bases is that you get the exact same amount of materials if you decide to move. Can you imagine how much of a pain in the ass that would be if you only got like half?
>>343223928
Anyone who actually finds this scary is a big shilling faggot
It'll be neat, but come'on.
>>343231415
you can early on get away with a base consisting of a single corridor, or of a "T" corridor, or a "+" corridor.
I would suggest you get accustomed to not having the all-purpose room early on as devs have expressed interest in locking it into a blueprint you have to dig up, I assume from either the Holy Diver signal or theFloating Island signal.
>>343231508
Hmm makes sense i suppose. I never really go far away with it, i park it right next to the loot i want to pick up and then i go back inside. But good advice for when im gonna do it i suppose. Also how do you pick up loot that's deep below? I did manage to swim a bit in 200 + deep water though.

Like some anon said, there are so many ways they can really make it scary for us. Such as the base welcoming someone when you're already in. Or you looking outside the windows and see a huge creature coming towards you. They do need to make this game more scarier
>>343230975
The show must go on
>>343231165
Speaking of thunderstorms. Bad weather when? I want to see huge waves, rain, perhaps even tsunamies? And currents. Have the devs even spoken about it at all?
>>343230060
You're making me think of that moment in Jurassic Park where the power went out. You see the T-Rex's claw reach out and test the electric fence.
I wonder how to do that underwater.
You hear a roar and a bit of clanging on the outside of the sea base. Then you look out the window and see a reaper staring right at you, each of his head-claws grasping a corner of the window. There would be a tense moment where he jus stares at you. If you move, his eyes would follow you. Then he starts tugging at the window.
Maaaydaaaay.

How do I get the Exosuit upgrades like the jump jet? The wiki doesn't have any commands for those.
I got pretty carried away with the base building stuff, pretty certain I'm only going to use half of the space but I just wanted to build a base that leads to the surface.
This heat signature objective has been lurking 400 meters below me for quite sometime now, should I build a sub before going down there?
Is there any way to find more signals? I think I've found 4 so far and I've searched all over the Aurora. I had to find the islands on my own and its getting unexciting just sitting around doing nothing.
>>343231849
>if you move, his eyes would follow you

For some reason that makes the thing even more horrifying than it already is. It adds a layer of intelligence or at least it shows you that it is capable of being smart for the purpose of fucking your shit up
>>343231843
I'd like a pseudo timer, maybe a week where the sun wont go down and it'll be so hot that you'll die if you surface. Like you need to go deep enough so the light can't reach you, and have enough resources so you can stay in your base for a week.
Or huge waves that damage your base if it's too close to the surface.
>>343231958
Yes. That way they have something else to chew on while you run away screaming. Just don't scream too loud or they'll come for you to.
>>343222952
I think you are talking about the Vietnamese.
Authentic Chinese cuisine is nice, although it is hard to make
WHat is the devs deal with not wanting to give the players options for defense?
If it was to keep the player intentionally weak to maintain tension I could understand it, even though there are other games in the genre who give players ways to defend themselves while still keeping things tense.
But from what I have read, the sole reason is that the dev is trying to take a moral standpoint that because Sandy Hook happened no games should ever have guns in them now.

For the type of planet it is the sun wouldn't be too hot that you'd die if you stayed on the surface. Otherwise it wouldn't support life.
Idk guys this game went from being talked about once a week to round the clock generals on /v/. I smell shilling.
Though it is a fun game, definitely worth a pirate now and buy later if the dev holds his promises. UI is really shitty tho and lots of features still to be implemented.
>>343232254
It is for the feeling and setting. You're a scientist, not a soldier, and it's an exploration game
The people reposting the social awareness thing from one dev never mention that it was just one of them and that he was full of shit. The devs just want you to get creative instead of murdering it all.
>can't pet my stalkers
What gets me is that there isn't a single fishing rod in the game, or catcher cages
>>343232324
it went on sale and it's getting closer to an update
I assume it's also growing in popularity

What is with all the shitposters that don't actually care about any facts regarding the game, is it just /pol/tards come for the "liberals banning muh guns!" strawman?

space stations are much easier to build than underwater stations. 3k meters, the pressure makes it very difficult to work
we will colonize the Mars sooner before we can build any stations near 5k meters
How toaster friendly will this game become if they finish optimizing it?
>>343232263
Ah yeah that's true.
What about rain so heavy if you surface your oxygen doesn't fill when you hit the surface.
It's not that bad of a hazard but it would still be cool.

you just need some space under the moonpool so that your seamoth doesn't ping off the ground.

You mean like a harpoon?
>>343234005
The propulsion/repulsion guns act as high-tech harpoons that actually make sense in-story.
>>343234005
But they're not wrong, a knife has far more utility than a gun.
You try carving coral with a fucking glock

Thats the only thing holding me back, but is there a good torrent? I would at least like to try it out.
>>343234282
You're not even making sense now, just ranting so you can screech "shill shill! I don't like thing so no one else is allowed to either!!!"
There are defense options and they're based on what blueprints you might logically find from a mining vessel instead of automatic harpoon guns.
>>343234290
The reapers tend to hang out in the deep water near the thrusters, just stay away from there.
>>343234538
Only after release if ever but they know there's demand and originally planned co-op.

Yes. Look in the areas with red grass.
>>343232095
I would Q that window fast as fuck.
You did build an airbase, right?
>>343234798
Hmm okay I'll take my seamoth there and go at surface level. Is there heaps of entrances on it like with the various wrecks?
>>343234278
Well why the fuck wouldn't you have both? The pro of a gun over a knife is that if a shark is trying to eat you, you don't have to wrestle with said shark to defend yourself.
>>343234903
So you're just ignoring needing blueprints to make anything and it being a mining ship that wouldn't have random harpoon designs.
You must be shitposting to completely ignore the idea of progression, having enemies that you need to avoid until you've "leveled up" helps pace gameplay instead of immediately having a gun that can kill any enemy so you can just go straight to the final areas.
This is basic gameplay design that you're sperging over because you want an exploration survival game to pander to your personal desire for a casual action shooter with fish.

Safety first.
>>343235289
The easiest entrance is at the side.
If you follow alongside you will see a valley, down there is an entrance into the ship. just start midships and go towards the front and you will find it pretty fast.

The shallow part along the hull on the side facing the pod.
As long as you dont go to the front or the back there wont be any reapers. Hopefully.
>>343236301
I'm somewhat traumatised as I went there early on blind when I only had the seaglide and a reaper sort of spawned right in front of me with a really loud roar scared the absolute fuck out of me. It was pretty high up too. I have video on my home pc will try and webm it
>>343235203
When you use the cameras in that scanner room, do the drones just fall?
alright /v/ i just bought it
i know nothing so what should i do first?
Am I supposed to be able to actually kill the crocodile fish with my knife? I've slashed one at least 25 times and it just keeps going on like nothing is even happening.

The agro range is quite large i`ve heard.
It did the same to me, I went to the back and spotted it in the distance. Suddenly it followed me back to the shallows between pod and spaceship.
I think they can smell fear.

At that height, they're called observational bombs, not surveillance drones.

riptides can pull you literally kilometers away from land
And they can stretch across tens of kilometers of a beach.
Getting caught in a riptide usually means you're dead, whether you're a good swimmer or not.

>>343237732

He's referring to the game and how you aren't the top of the food chain there
And I agree with that, what fun would the game be if you could just blast a Reaper with a gat?
>>343237863it'd be fun to do it a few times
>>343237687
>taking out the knife
fucking lol
>>343237596
I guess a bus full of people getting shot at doesn't count as a mass shooting, or is that just you trying to push your agenda
>>343237687
>knife out
>>343237596
Agenda or not, it does say right there that nobody was killed.
>>343237980
It sure as fuck doesn't count as a mass shooting
It's leftists playing with meanings of words to push their bullshit on everyone else.
What actually happened: Bunch of niggers decided to shoot at a bus because they're niggers.
Lefist idiot conclusion: GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM
So how likely are there to be mods after release? Mods to make the game more spooky to be precise.
>>343237046
Also, bumping this.
>>343238153
It also says 4 people were injured; except they weren't actually injured by gunfire.
Misdirection and lying by omission. Classic liberal bullshit.
>>343238231
could he have shot someone if he didn't have a gun?
I just built a cyclops but it feels so clunky. I kind of wish I used the mats for the 3rd pressure add on for the seamoth. Do you get used to it?

then he should have just fucking said it instead of "muh six gorillion children ;_;7"

>>343237687
might as well just take your propulsion gun and shot your own head off at that point
>>343238348
It doesn't say injured by gunfire. It just says injured.
That is such a tiny nitpick considering you are looking at one small example on the site.
And concerning the pic you just posted, yeah the "big bad scary assault rifles" meme is kinda stupid but it literally says right there that the handgun number is much higher than any of the others combined.
Either way this is waaaay off-topic.
Can we post more underwater spoops.

You can build a depth upgrade from the moonpool upgrade station, then take that upgrade to the regular modification station to improve it.
You can swim at any depth, but you'll use up oxygen faster at greater depths.

I don't know why the fucking doors are going mondo nut bars
But I've had this happen to me, where there just wasn't enough power in the base and it was just constantly charging and draining until I deconstructed some stuff
>>343238770
Also you can find a couple of free upgrades in the little console things on board the Aurora wreckage.
>>343223928
Those are in the game. Have been for a while. That song is fan made. They are pretty harmless it's pretty hard to get bitten.

>>343238679
Not him but forbidding the people's access to guns will not solve shit. In fact it will make things worse because criminals will still have guns via black market, while they know an unarmed population is very easy to abuse, or massacre if you are one of those lunatics. It's impossible to prevent criminals from getting guns. Even the UK that is an island has armed criminals. So nothing more fair than allowing the population to have it even for self defense.
>>343235796
In-game dialog suggests that humans have been eating synthetic food for generations and the character might have difficulty with eating plants and fish from lack of familiarity.
This is a society largely disconnected from raising animals for food let alone hunting them.
To them tieing your knife to a metal tube might not be so obvious. Even using the stasis rifle and propulsion guns defensively/offensively is something of ingenuity using tools designed for other purposes like dead space did a bit too and I'd like to see more of that with inventive high-tech ways around obstacles instead of just underwater guns and grenades and tanks to blow up everything you see move.

Dude, I completely agree.
Especially since explosives are fuck easy to make anyway.
I don't think anybody's guns should be taken away.
I just thought his nitpick of that site, and how he based his whole argument around the nitpick, was stupid.
>>343239826
it's weird though that they would put this in the stasis rifle data entry considering how they want this game to be

Actually thinking about it more you don't even actually "craft" anything in the game, you just use the replicator/builder/mobile-vehicle-bay to make things from blueprints.
Average humans in this world might be largely unable to do much of anything without smart machines holding their hands because technology has reached the point that it's easier to make things user-friendly instead of educating technical skill for the average person beyond operation.
I got the vibe from the abandoned base data that the mercenary/bodyguard was a highly unusual human trying to harken back to more rough-and-tumble survival like modern survivalists/reenactors and the son had "enhancements" that allowed him to figure out building things.
>>343240034
That is interesting, maybe programmed emergency scenarios of some known alternative uses of tools kinda like the suggestion to actually eat stuff you find like the idea might not come to you otherwise.
Of course it could just be an oversight and at this point any of the descriptions and data could change at any time.
Bring it on, motherfuckers
How long can stalkers be pacified for? How much does it take to kill them with a knife? I was trying to get a couple nodes on the edge of the kelp forest starting out and got like three of them harassing me. Theyre easy to dodge but very distracting.

I'm hoping they let you upgrade it to something usable.
I and others assumed at first that it would actually pull you back to where you anchor it.

I want them to go full horror later.
I want eldritch shit deep below the waves that turned other survivors insane. And you see other deranged survivors in their diving suits just coming at you with a knife out of nowhere.

>>343241449
I mean if you were completely disconnected from the idea that that food comes from finding edible plants/animals and cooking them because you've eaten synthetic food all your life then it could make sense.
Even today I imagine there are some people who know enough to eat stuff they find but poison themselves because they don't have their phone to look up what is safe to eat.

>>343239790
The anti-gun message is stupid but I think its more emblematic of your crazy western gun-nut culture that cause gun control problems in the first place. East of the globe even a single unaccounted bullet casing will send the military into a manhunt and even the worst place like China has way lower homicide rates than the US. The downside to not getting shot in the face when you go out at night is that you pretty much surrender all power to your government and they can range from semi-competent to corrupt as shit

even if it never came the survivors mind, the PDA thing would suggest it if a fabricator wasn't available.

They are aiming for an August release date so the Steam Sales are likely the last best discount.

>stasis rifle is still in the game
Hundreds of children die every day in tragic ZA WARUDO accidents. The devs should really put an end to this.

>we ARE the top of the food chain
Mosquitoes are above us.
Then there are others like sharks and alligators that we eat right back.
Where does this "we're at the top of the foodchain" shit come from?
>>343242936
Gotcha. Getting it now.
>>343243058
>mosquitos are above us.
They are dependent on us not the other way around.

well, didn't expect the get e reply after this much time, thanks
guess I will have to wait for my upgrade
Is there a fix for the non working bulkheads yet? I want a hueg base and building foundations is REALLY janky, but I cant deconstruct every bulkhead every time I want to get through it
>>343243058
the world is literally at our whim bro. what kind of nu male cuck doesn't realize that the fate of the world and all its denizens is entirely in our hands?
This was a good thread. I hope we get at least half of the scary shit that was suggested here.
>>343242410
I mean you can doubt all you want but the fluff suggests it as the reality of this game-world and it has been touched on in media before like in silent running where the crew-mates find the smell of non-synthetic food to be disgusting.
Even if you did think to eat something you found there's still the issue of knowing to/how to cook it let alone with fire when you're used to the idea of just eating ready-to-eat synthetic nutrition.
>>343242503
Yeah that's what I'm saying, without machines to guide them the future people of the subnautica world are lost, it needs to suggest eating to them.

LOL no
They need some animals to eat, not necessarily humans.
We've tried to exterminate them and failed miserably and now they're spreading a virus that attacks our ability to have children.
>>343243267
Cling to that "humanity fuckyeah" fantasy.
The world will keep on spinning even if we nuke ourselves out of existence and while there could be mass extinction we likely couldn't destroy all life if we tried.
>>343243724
we've attained space flight and our abilities are only improving
keep believing your edgy nihilistic dreams though. humanity will move on without you
>>343243724
If mosquitos are an issue, move somewhere cold.
We can do that, mozzies can't.
>>343243837
It's hardly "edgy nihilism" to think that "the world is literally at our whim bro" is a childish uneducated statement.
I do think that we will get our shit together and get off this rock but we are still very much dependent on our ecosystem and if we did vanish it a blaze of impotent fury the world would keep on going without us.
