Ocean is deep. It's very deep.
Even Titanic is under 3,821m at North Atlantic. Mariana Trench is 10,000+m.
But our ocean in-game is blue even at very deep depth.
Why don't we add the sea floor so it feels like there is an end. and some shallow water. Maybe trenches similar to Mariana trench.

well even if it is added i think ill have a thalassophobia

  1. Ocean very big
  2. Looking in the water will have fog; limited visibility
  3. 1% of players only use submarines; wasted efforts from the devs
  4. AEROnautica, aviation focused game

I breathe air

#

And Oxygen is in the air

#

Hydrogen is also in the air

#

it takes two air + 1 air to make water

#

So in the technicality of the theory

#

Water is air Shrug

#

fish breathe air likeandsubscribe

#

as a former chem student i want to crash out

woeful pendant
#

but i thought they're all fish

#

why do they call shark and not fish?

#

anyways we need sea floor

#

as far as I know this isn’t really possible with the current map

#

the ocean surface is the lowest you can build in Roblox

#

we’d have to move everything up

#

don’t quote me on that tho

modest tide
#

Same lame excuse for boats..

# woeful pendant Shark

We do call sharks fish... That's... That's literally what we call them, that's why they're different from whales or dolphins, they aren't mammals

aeroNAUTICA

#

since it has nautica we need ocean but we have ocean. so we need a sea floor because it doesnt exist

modest tide
#

It comes FIRST

#

SO IT'S THE PRIORITY

woeful pendant
#

ok

modest tide
#

It's the same god damn argument every time and it's always wrong because nobody here knows how english works 🥀

woeful pendant
#

but it still has NAUTICA

modest tide
#

prime example

brazen mist
#

I think Aeronautica is an Italian word

#

The Italian Air Force is Regia Aeronautica

modest tide
#

"Aeronautica" is
a noun, specifically a feminine noun in Italian and other Romance languages, meaning aeronautics (the science/practice of flight) or air force. It is derived from Greek roots (meaning "air" and "navigation"

#

it literally doesn't mean ocean or boats in any way, it just means "air navigation"

#

you were talking about word roots and associations too but go off

brazen mist
#

Here's a definition for you
"Nautica is a word originating from the Latin nauticus (derived from Greek nautikós), meaning "of ships" or "pertaining to sailors". It signifies seafaring, navigation, or maritime, and in Italian, it refers to seamanship or boating."

#

The main problem with the ocean floor is the size

modest tide
#

oughhh I need to stop talking before I get another rule 4

buoyant scroll
#

IIRC the max Roblox part size is like 2000 studs

#

Map is like 80000 studs wide

#

That's some 1600 parts

modest tide
buoyant scroll
#

A possibility is a flat floor made from a decal or mesh or something but it can't even be used as a collision, collisions would need to be coded in somehow (I think)

modest tide
#

So you just have small locations which do fit in the part size limit above the limit for most subs

#

and the rest doesn't exist

#

And you can just say it does, but you can't reach it

buoyant scroll
#

Could work

#

Localised POIs would be interesting

#

especially near the center

#

so people would know the location from others

#

Now putting a Titanic wreck in the middle of the Avalonian ocean would be useless

#

the what

upbeat star
#

Nothing

upbeat star
#

Since Clarence is New York

woeful pendant
#

Anhedral and Clarence

upbeat star
#

Yeah

#

That

woeful pendant
#

it makes sense since Titanic departed from Southampton heading to New York

modest tide
#

It should be near the top of the map because that's where icebergs are

upbeat star
#

Yeah but the titanic sank traveling between Europe and the americas

#

So that would make more sense

#

Rather than north

woeful pendant
#

it was also near newfoundland

#

maybe between three of them

upbeat star
buoyant scroll
#

The point is, those locations are too remote

upbeat star
upbeat star
buoyant scroll
#

Yeah maybe a couple

#

You underestimate the dedication of some people

woeful pendant
#

maybe add lore to it

buoyant scroll
#

And there isn't even a reward for it... but there could be think

modest tide
#

There could be jobs for them

#

If there ever is an update which adds exploration subs

#

Olympic-class Troopship customization only accessible via Titanic badge

modest tide
#

You get basically surveillance for those locations, you go there, explore around and then Return

#

Nobody uses subs for their purpose, there's your primary problem

#

People prefer boating above the waters

modest tide
#

they can't take jobs

#

My point is people barely use them

woeful pendant
#

add job for finding shipwreck

#

with additional lights for visibility

modest tide

#

I think an easy fix for visibility issues is just making it so you can see better underwater

upbeat star
#

Maybe, make the subs go faster under water

buoyant scroll
#

Having islands not float is one of my dreams

upbeat star
#

Not a ton faster

#

But like

#

Enough to make it a little more bearable

modest tide
#

There is no real reason to have bad visibility underwater

#

other than hiding the fact islands float

#

(which is already known anyways)

buoyant scroll
#

The fact that there is bad visibility underwater is enough

modest tide
#

then just
Don't have it

woeful pendant
#

we dont have submersibles

#

we have submarines

buoyant scroll
#

Ingame visibility is actually really good

#

be grateful 😠

modest tide
#

it's coded in that when you go underwater your camera becomes shit, isn't it? Just remove that

#

or at least decrease the effect

#

make it like what you get in a storm for example

#

still visible, but limiting

#

-# not the stupid storms at kyokkou which have 0 visibility ofc

woeful pendant
#

something like DSV Alvin has lots of exterior lights

#

but Project 941 doesnt have an exterior light

modest tide
#

Exterior lighting doesn't help with visibility in-game because it's a filter that goes over the entire camera

#

although it definitely would look really nice to have super strong lights for subs

#

yuh

#

would be cool

#

I would like interesting POIs for Underwater but I think there’s 2 big issues

  1. it’ll pretty much be a second map under an already large map (sorry 2 mobile players)
  2. there’s no desire to even go down there besides that one crate (is it even still there?)

I think to make it interesting
1: sightseeing jobs
2: thermal vent data collection jobs (are those a thing?)
3: depth research jobs
4: pipeline repair jobs?
4: possible rewards for exploration like above land
5: uhh make submarines (and all boats for that matter) affordable and/or actually have atleast 1 capacity.

fr...

#

would be like a giant expansion

river plank
#

kinda like how airships bounce off their service ceiling

#

though that would make trenches inaccessible

#

so prob not...

#

hmm

#

so it would be about 1526 parts to cover the entire ocean floor in 2048x2048 sized meshes/parts

#

probably really low poly tho..

#

#

issue is the floor has to have collision Thonk

#

though, the idea of ocean floor is literally untapped potential for a huge expansion

modest tide
#

New themed update

#

Under da sea

#

It only adds submersibles

#

We already have memory issues with the current scenery, imagine how bad that would become if we had the entire map's oceans be modelled 😭🙏

#

There is more land under the water than there is actual land. Whatever the devs make would be bigger than any landmass, and for what? Only like two submarines exist in the game

modest tide
#

small, localized points of interest

#

And the rest of the ocean is simply too deep to go to

#

(it doesn't exist)
