just me and my thread
I'm here for you OP
I bought this game in the Steam Sale but I'm waiting until I get myVivein the mail to actually play it.
Still on the fence about whether or not I want to keep it or refund it.
Pretty comfy base.
Hope this summer's update will be about the Exosuit and the Lava Zone.
What the fuck is wrong with you piece of shits? Everytime a OP starts a thread he always says how hes 'Scared' or 'Never knew i was scared of ocean' or some stupid bullshit.
MAN THE FUCK UP! Its a video game you basement dwelling fuck. No wonder you cocksuckers are scared of water and the dark, you're always hiding in your caves rarely even seeing the fucking sun.
I hope you drown one day.

>what is immersion
There is nearly always a subnautica thread up. Why don't you guys go to /vg/ already? That board was made for threads like these.
>>344065129
Tell that to the Overwatch faggots
>>344065129
/vg/ is for trash games like MMOs and VNs
>>344063710
Without emotional involvement in a game you are pretty much just punching numbers int a program.
>>344066003
So Subnautica is trash?

He means the board is too slow for niche games. Whereas threads about MMOs and MOBAs are like live chat rooms.

>This shit shouldn't startle me as much as it should
this grammar error is funny to me
>hate survival games
>try this out because I can refund it anyway
>16 hours later
>awesome base and huge amounts of tech
What does this game do so right? I shouldn't be enjoying this by any means but I am enjoying it a lot. The game's just not obnoxious like all the other games.
>>344061650
GOT YOU BRO!
>finally get the zapper module for the Seamoth

GOD DAMNIT

because it's a unique setting even outside of survival games. I don't think there is any other open world game set underwater in an alien ocean.
>>344066971
Settingm everything else is pretty mediocre, but the setting is so original it makes up for it.
>>344061324
Mushroom forest is GOAT; I especially like the jellyfish ray looking things.
What settings are you using? My mushroom forest is usually dark and dreary.
>>344067112
is every fucking monster in this game glowing with neon? Thats fucking dumb
>>344059615
>update is nothing
Fuck I thought we were gonna get the exo suit. Guess it's still a month or two before I play Subnautica again.
So what actually is this game?
Minecraft underwater?
>>344067396
You know, bio luminescence is a very real thing that happens even in our oceans too. This is an alien ocean, so perhaps the context of their evolution would explain why there's so much of it.
>>344067396
Nt everyone, but the setting is very bright and neon in general, looks pretty good imo
>>344067668
No, a good game underwater
>>344067668
Kind of. More emphasis on surviving than building.
Setting is neat. Pirate it
>>344067736
that only happens with small species. Big monsters just look like christmas trees
>>344063710
giant bones popping in in front of me in a zone that hasn't been completed in an update where the devs did not include all of their changes in the news did make me nervous. That's why I love the game. It's nerve wracking because I am immersed. It is a good feel.
>habitat tool and scanner need batteries
>>344067668
It's a survival and exploration game. It does have voxel terrain similar to Minecraft, but that is being removed entirely soon in favor of static terrain.
Something shoots down your mining/science ship and you're stranded on an alien planet that is 99% ocean. You explore and scavenge, build bases and subs, and eventually there will be a story about finding out what shot down your ship.
>>344063710
Do you even enjoy videogames
>>344067396
>Sees one creature that glows
>WOW WHY DOES EVERY MOSTER GLOW THAT'S FUKEN DUM LOL
The creatures you actually need to worry about like stalkers and reapers don't glow at all. They just come out of the darkness to devour you. That particular monster hangs around in the starting area, so naturally it's super visible so new players don't get surprised by it. It's like complaining the tutorial is too easy.
How do I get Stalker teeth? I knifed one of those fuckers till he was just sitting there twitching and I got nothing for it.
>>344068259
Git gud
>>344068550
drop scrap metal near them and wait, repeat until they knock a tooth out
Did the new update move the save folder location? It's not picking up my old saves and starting a new game places them in an unknown folder.
>>344068550
Drop 5 scavenged metals in the kelp forest and sit afk in your seamoth for 15 minutes then come back and the teeth will be all over the ground.
>>344068554
>I'm going to support UWE blindly, which has a terrible history of game balancing, because everything that costs me more effort equals more skill and therefore I am a superior gamer
>>344068953
Are you one of those buttblasted gun nerds?
>>344063710
Look out everyone we got a badass over here!
>>344069117
>gun fags = team anti battery-slavery
get your factions right batfag
>>344066971
Setting isn't standard forests and shit. Also crafting isn't balanced to grind away your soul like most of these games are.
Fucking Ark.
The habitat builder now needs a fucking battery?
Why? What's the point?
>all these anons complaining about needing more batteries
as soon as you get the seamoth you should beswimmingin batteries. Just check the chests lying in the valley at the rear end of the aurora
>>344070117
im assuming they just want everything to have realistic energy
with battery chargers being in the game, it shouldn't be that much of a hassle
>>344070117
Because it seems they always intended for the early game to be a grueling grind. At least with the scanner using batteries now I'll never both scanning anything but lockers again.
>refund because performance
>release this update now
>>344069548
He's right tho, subnautica isn't scary at all. I mean the creatures are colorful as fuck ffs
>>344061503
>>344061650
Wait, is that pipe bringing air down from the surface to the base, or is it taking air from the base to somewhere else for exploration?
Because I didn't know you could do either.
>>344070117
They always intended to make the early game a lot harder than it is.
For example, in the future the only building you'll have from the start is the single corridor section. Everything else will be fragments/scanning/research/whatever.
They want to make the stuff you build feel like an actual achievement, I guess.
>>344059615
whats the deal with the big cube room after that part?
>>344075402
Originally I wanted it to take air from the base so I could explore the nearby mushroom tree but that doesn't work. It comes from the surface and I use the pipes to find my way at night back to my base.
>>344075915
no idea, maybe it was supposed to lead to another zone and they haven't opened it up yet. My guess is it's supposed to connect to the inactive lava zone - but that might be another tunnel entirely.
>>344075968
Huh, so what do the pipes actually do?
>>344076858
if you hump them they give you air, so if you want to explore an underwater labyrinth you can both mark your way and continue breathing with an air pipeline.
>>344077182
Ah, I see. It'd be nice if they had an actual in-game description
>>344063710
(You) win 10 E-points
>>344068494
Wait, are they really removing the voxel terrain?
>>344077843
>voxel terrain
but yes they're doing it because they don't want to put in the effort required to making sure it's possible, polished, and doesn't tank the game's performance
>>344078214
You know what I mean.
And that's lazy god dammit
hoping they fix this x-ray glitch. I'm able to see all player made entities whenever I'm im driving my cyclops
>>344063515
Dont. I tried it, even with revive support, the controls are shit, even broken, and performance worse.
>>344059615
>tfw I'd love to fucking play the game but it refuses to launch at all all of a sudden
>literally a tiny bar window surrounding a single line of pixels and nothing happens
>nothing I've done in 2 hours worth of tinkering helped, including a fucking full reinstall five times
>both official and Steam support requests are fucking dead
Just fucking ebin ;_;
>>344070768
into the abyss
I built a cyclops, explored the floater island, found the abandoned seabase in the jelly shroom cave, and now I feel aimless. I guess my next task is to fully upgrade the cyclops and seamoth for depth? I feel a bit aimless at this point.
Is there any other cool shit to find other than the giant skeleton?
>>344059615
I finally got around to building a base next to the opening of the inactive lava zone. I'll post a picture of the base once I get back there with another shipment of materials. for now just enjoy an exploration picture I took a few minutes from the base.
Is this game ever gonna get multiplayer? Shit would be fun as fuck building bases and exploring the ocean with m8s.
>>344077289
it does say they bring air from the surface, I waited on using them until i realized how long each section could stretch.
