[primal jolt]

Trusting, dont let me down

[wind bridge]

Trust

[opaque iron]

Never trust Palmer.

[uncut mountain]

what

[strange wind]

KING IS BAAACK

[supple knoll]

I didn't know sea moths where so weak 😭

Just rammed into mine with the cyclops and the bugger exploded 😭

[opaque iron]

Well yeah. It's made of a Titanium Ingot. Titanium isn't really that strong in Subnautica universe.

[karmic lava]

You can make the hull reinforcement module for the seamoth to improve its collision protection against terrain and stuff. Just realize it doesn’t protect against creature attack damage @supple knoll

[supple knoll]

It had it lol

[karmic lava]

Ah well don’t run into things, drive better😛

[supple knoll]

I haven't used it since i got my prawn suit I'll make another when I need it

[supple knoll]

Shouldn't have been in my way

[royal sinew]

question.. does anybody have an actual size/scale estimate for the ||gargantuan leviathan?|| (i assume that’s spoiler worthy.)…. i am doing a study for fun on the sizes of leviathan-like creatures in media… ^_^.. thank you!!

as in actual numbers

[karmic lava]

It doesn’t exist “live” in the game. If you mean the mod that includes it, idk since I don’t use mods

[royal sinew]

i am aware that it doesn’t actually exist alive in the game, and i wasn’t particularly thinking of the mod…. i was just curious as to whether there are any estimates on how big it’d be if it was alive?

it intrigues me a lot as a creature

[karmic lava]

According to the wiki, “the creature would likely have measured between 1,100 and 1,300 meters long” based on the skeletal remains

||https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Gargantuan_Fossil||

[royal sinew]

ah, thank you! i’ll look more into that

[kindred belfry]

uh 💀

he's nice right

[twilit turtle]

he just wants hugs

[kindred belfry]

he was

not

in fact

nice

[twilit turtle]

did you bring him food?

[kindred belfry]

no.

[twilit turtle]

oh.

yea those bois tend to get mad if they don't get a treat

next time bring him a snack

[kindred belfry]

I'm at the sunbeam dropoff about to die from thirst and with 10 minutes left

no water left

so what do I do to like not die

4 water left

9 minutes

nvm, I unleashed deforestation on the nearest creepvine forest

[tawny tusk]

sunbeam dropoff has these trees on the island called bulbo trees, they have high water content and can be eaten like creepvine (with a knife)

you can even plant their seeds in a growbed or pot in your base to hang onto them

[kindred belfry]

ohhh alright

[brisk field]

Can you guys figure out why my seamoth falls through the map because when I go to the gun if I park my seamoth normally when I come back it's not there then I see the locator tag going lower and lower and this happens every time can you help me fix this

[tulip crown]

i jsut beat it AGAIN!!!

[odd dove]

I just wish that we dont have to use growbeds, especially on land.

[long flame]

are there anything in the bulb zone that i should be worried about

[odd dove]

All I know is ||beware of the Reaper from Mountain, radiation and getting into tight space while encountering Ampeel||

[long flame]

alr

where can i find seamoth depth modules

and how on earth do i craft them

[acoustic osprey]

You can find Mark 1 in the aurora, or make one if you have the blueprints for moonpool and vehicle upgrade console

[acoustic osprey]

And to upgrade them further you need a modification station

[unreal grotto]

Who actually uses nuclear reactors

[long flame]

i cant seem to craft the mk1 in my lifepod thingy

[acoustic osprey]

You make it on the vehicle upgrade console

Which you build in a moonpool

[unreal grotto]

Also beware the moonpool sucks an unholy amount of energy. I reccomend building separate from base lol @long flame

[acoustic osprey]

Did you mean hull intergrity?

[unreal grotto]

Hull integrity too but also drains so much energy when charging vehicles

Im pretty sure it drains faster than the cell chargers

[acoustic osprey]

1 or 2 panels solve that issue

[long flame]

ok

[long flame]

ok

[unreal grotto]

Idk i had 4 panels on my full base at about 100 m depth and I still would run out of energy before morning

[acoustic osprey]

Most people prefer moonpool charging over power cell charger iirc

[acoustic osprey]

Do you have a water filtration machine in that base

[unreal grotto]

Hell no I could never power a base with the filter lol

[acoustic osprey]

Then are you charging your batteries and vehicles at the same time

[unreal grotto]

I had to have like 3 thermal reactors next to a vent to maintain power with one of those gilters

[unreal grotto]

Yeah

[acoustic osprey]

Then that's probably why you lose power quickly

Adding more panels should still fix the issue since you get more power capacity

[unreal grotto]

I remember when I first started subnautica I didn't know how to power bases and through i had to run air pipes from the surface to fill the bases

I was raging so hard cuz I couldn't connect it to the base

[acoustic osprey]

You can pump o2 from surface into your base?

[long flame]

where do yall think i should build my first base? shallows?

[unreal grotto]

No

[acoustic osprey]

Oh nvm

[unreal grotto]

I thought thats what I had to do when I first started playing

It didn't work

[acoustic osprey]

Yea, or the grassy plateaus, aka the red grass biome

[unreal grotto]

I like my first base next to floating islands

[long flame]

isnt the grassy plateaus the red grass biome

cuz the grass is red

[unreal grotto]

💀

[long flame]

oh nah

[acoustic osprey]

Yea, that's what I said

[long flame]

oh shoot

[acoustic osprey]

Do you know what "aka" stands for lol

[long flame]

i lthink im dyslexic

i didnt see it lol

[acoustic osprey]

👍

[ebon pecan]

Hi I just started playing this game and I'm absolutely addicted to it. I think I've spent more time making my base look nice and pretty than I have the story. 10/10 would go deeper.

[long flame]

nah i just went to somewhere where there are weird lookin spikes and stuff, nah itll take me weeks just to go deeper atp

[scenic oriole]

Moonpool and power cell charger use the same calculation for charging speed; it depends on the total capacity in the charger (i.e. charging prawn uses energy faster than charging seamoth, because 2 power cells vs. 1)

[azure hare]

guys

[long flame]

yall, where do i find magnetite

[azure hare]

purple cave in the crab fields

[azure hare]

redgrass

[long flame]

the what fields?

[long flame]

okok

[azure hare]

a purple cave

one of the most scariest but non dangerous areas

[quiet idol]

Mushroom caves?

[long flame]

ok

[rancid hornet]

Gng it's called the jellyshroom cave

[long flame]

how is it scary

[odd dove]

You might want to try it, collecting things there and maybe make a small transit base.

[long flame]

whats a transit base

oh hell no, i thought those 2 mushrooms when u enter were freaking leviathan eyes or smth

[green sleet]

no its just some big snakes come out

[long flame]

Alr

[amber cairn]

You can run them over with your seamoth if you're careful. 2-3 solid hits will kill them

[paper trench]

do mods on subnatica run on a steam deck

[cold heath]

The steam deck does it use its own OS? I don’t remember

Since if it does it prob won’t run mods

#subnautica-modding in here you can find a discord for modding I think they have the answere

[paper trench]

I don't have a steam deck yet

[cold heath]

#subnautica-modding scroll up and you find a discord for subnautica modding

[fathom ether]

Guys, I lost my cuddlefish

[near zealot]

Reminder: Discord published 2 new orbs quests, each for 700 orbs. All you have to do is watch a 2 videos, get 1400 orbs and get Free Nitro for 3 days in the shop after

[quartz meadow]

Anyone know how to find the purple mushroom forrest? Like the depth and what direction I have to go?

[scenic oriole]

Go to lifepod 17; there is a cave entrance right next to it

[quartz meadow]

Is it a dangerous area? I just installed 2 days ago and I’m hesitant of the damn levitations😭

[scenic oriole]

You need some equipment or vehicle to dive to 200-250 m (cave entrance is around 100m, but the main cave is deeper)

[quartz meadow]

What do I need to upgrade the seamoth? I just got some diamonds yesterday and used 2 for my laser and the rest is for the upgrade

[wind bridge]

You can find the upgrade in the aurora

[quartz meadow]

oh fun I gotta go to the worst spot😭

I have no clue how to get inside of it lowkey

[wind bridge]

Has it exploded yet?

[quartz meadow]

Yeah I’m on like day 20 something in game

[wind bridge]

The front of the ship

You can go with seamoth or just swim there

[quartz meadow]

Alright

Ty

[scenic oriole]

For some exploring of jellyshroom cave, seamoth without upgrades can be used: drive it to 190m or so and continue with seaglide. Seamoth helps to get air supply closer than the surface. With seamoth depth module mk1 you can explore the whole cave.

[fathom ether]

Guys, should I get the cyclop first or should I just book it into the lost river

Via prawn suit

[kindred belfry]

Fr 😭

[lavish hill]

Where is the best place to build his first base? My Seamoth can only go to 300m

[toxic bobcat]

sparse reef

prob

many useful resources and blood kelp lost river entrance near aswell

[scenic oriole]

Grassy plateaus (the red grass biome) is common spot fpr first base. Access tp variety of resources and more space than in safe shallows

[supple knoll]

About to say

Incredibly flat so perfect for building

[toxic bobcat]

yo does anyone know where the cords is for the blood kelp trench entrance for the lost river?

[ornate bronze]

chat how do i get ultra high capacity

[toxic bobcat]

mod station

[ornate bronze]

wheres that

i js started yesterday

[toxic bobcat]

most of the frags are in the mushroom forest

some hull for the cylops is also there

[ornate bronze]

oo

alr ty

[toxic bobcat]

also only most of the mod station frags are there

[ornate bronze]

o

[toxic bobcat]

i think a wreck in grassy plateaus have some frags

for mod station

[ornate bronze]

alr

[lavish hill]

Near Lifepod 6 or where?

[toxic bobcat]

bro its like near kelp forest

[lavish hill]

And Lifepod 6 is in Grassy Plateaus

[toxic bobcat]

do NOT ask me about lifepod locations

im legit ahh at directions unless theres cords

[lavish hill]

i didn't, i said where lifepod 6 is

[toxic bobcat]

or a map

[toxic bobcat]

also he meant the spot near kelp forest

like right at the border

[lavish hill]

where exactly?

[toxic bobcat]

ii think its the one with the hole near it

unless thats in keelp forest

or smth

[lavish hill]

wait what hole? to lost river?

[toxic bobcat]

no where near bro

its like a ravinee

[lavish hill]

i still don't know where u mean.. :(

[toxic bobcat]

just make it the border of kelp and grassy plateaus

[lavish hill]

can u pls mark somehow the location? im too stupid for this

[toxic bobcat]

same 😭

[true granite]

is it okay to mod subnautica?

[ornate pivot]

Yes there is even a community for it at #subnautica-modding

[toxic bobcat]

Someone help with this please

[small trellis]

how deep is the ||lost river's|| entrence?

[warm temple]

you could just search it up

[warm temple]

depends, the first entrance (blood kelp zone) is 500-sh meters deep

[small trellis]

lol i just saw that this is basicly the same question lol

[warm temple]

the grand reef one is about the same

[small trellis]

uhhh like the entrence last time i left at the grand reef but came in at blood kelp zone

[warm temple]

yep it happens

[small trellis]

wait no

yes i did enter at a confusing blood kelp zone cave

[wind bridge]

Thats the blood kelp zone not trench

[small trellis]

it just led to the same place where the grand reef's starts so like i entered at blood kelp zone which was connected to grand reef

[lavish hill]

oh mb then can't find blood kelp trench on the map

[wind bridge]

Its right in between sparse reef and dunes

[lavish hill]

is there even a entrance? Map doesn't show an entrance there

[wind bridge]

Yes there is two actually

[small trellis]

wait what? i have been in the spares reef thats at the blood kelp zone/ trentche but i have no seen da dunes i ahve been in da grand reef too so is it really there?

[wind bridge]

The dunes are next to it

[small trellis]

i ahve never seen it

to spares reef?

[wind bridge]

Yes

[small trellis]

well i guess im lucky i didnt found it🙂‍↕️

[wind bridge]

@small trellis

[lavish hill]

Is it worth to go into the Jellyshroom Cave? never been there before.. Are there some useful resources?

[wind bridge]

Its needed to go there to progress ||degasi story|| which is optional but i go there for magnetite and lithium

[odd dove]

Some magnet, a bro of peeper (psst try to use it for bio-fuel maybe?).

[wind bridge]

No you will not use it for bio-fuel

[odd dove]

I usually put fruits in there, but seems not that efficient.

[wind bridge]

I literally only use solar panels and heat😭

[lavish hill]

When will the degasi story start? or is the questline already active since beginning?

[wind bridge]

As soon you find one of their bases

[lavish hill]

so as soon i find them on the floating island?

[wind bridge]

You could find their jellyshroom one

[odd dove]

It is an optional quest, if you want to find out what happened to them you can make them priorities. Or you can stumble into it by accident, also no problem.

[lavish hill]

alr

[small trellis]

i live in that grassy plautse

...

hell nah i think i found the cave i went down before BUT uhhm i dont think my cyclops is gonan fit in the cave ...

[wind bridge]

Jellyshroom cave?

[small trellis]

no what? nope its a cave in the spares reef that has 2 paths one leads to lifepod 19

one leads to the cave but i think i actually went down the blood kelp zone last time

[small trellis]

that on the picture

well im in my seamoth soooo i can explore this too but this cave seems to go into the blood kelp zone

[wind bridge]

Blood kelp trench?

Oh

A cave in sparse reef

[small trellis]

uhhh im lost idk whever i am i saw a weird fish and now i am really scared

and i think i found where i can go up but its pitch black

and my cyclops is 300 m away

[odd dove]

You use vehicle or seaglide?

[small trellis]

wait im in the spares reef i remember this one wreck

[amber cairn]

putting a small base at the entrance of each of the really dangerous reaper biomes has served me well. I ended up adding a large room to the left and a moonpool to the north, and grow beds outside for creepvine cluster and blood oil, mushrooms, etc. 2 water filtration units and an alien containment for stalkers and edible fish

[small trellis]

i ahve sea moth and a seaglide

[small trellis]

cool

its just night so that why i cant see dog water

[long flame]

yall, i just built my base in the grassy plateuas beside the crash zone. And now im in a weird biome with big large circle thingys and annoying electro worms that keep on damaging my seamoth. anything i should worry abt

[small trellis]

noo

[woven forge]

does anyone know how i can fix not being able to make fibermesh in the fabricator?

[small trellis]

you dont need to worry about anything 😭

[small trellis]

who's gonna tell him

[rancid hornet]

Not me

[rancid hornet]

Do u even have the recipe unlocked

[amber cairn]

those things have 3000 health, which would be like 67 knife swings to kill, and are pretty easy to avoid in the seamoth

[woven forge]

it is in the pda

[small trellis]

what is fiber mesh i forgor

[woven forge]

but not the fabricator, ive had 4 creepvine samples too

[long flame]

ah icic

[rancid hornet]

Weird

[woven forge]

needed for radiation suit and a couple things, the radiation has spreaded so wide and i cant even make it

[amber cairn]

meanwhile the bone sharks have only 200 health so you can run them over with the seamoth and 2-3 good hits will croak them

[small trellis]

oh yeah do you even have what you need for it?

[woven forge]

it just isnt there

[amber cairn]

fiber mesh is the normal items i think

[small trellis]

YOU DONT have the things to make it!!!

ITS THERE

[amber cairn]

2 creepvine samples

[woven forge]

i swear it wasnt there 2 seconds ago

[small trellis]

im bad at drawing circles

but its there

[woven forge]

i just saw it

[small trellis]

lol

[woven forge]

but i swear it wasnt there, didnt go blue when i had the creepvine

[small trellis]

well now you do have it

oh how i love the spares reef ❤️

[lavish hill]

this is way too dark for me to explore it

[small trellis]

dw its just cus its night

but this is how the void looks like basicly

[long flame]

Where do find cyclops parts

I searched the mushroom forest like millions of times already

[toxic bobcat]

thats for hull

for engine you can find at underwater islands or aurora

and bridge is also mostly in mushroom forest

[amber cairn]

the void scares me

[long flame]

There’s like 2 diff mushroom forest biomes right

[toxic bobcat]

uh no?

[amber cairn]

if you enter mushroom forest near the front of the aurora wreck on the port side (before you meet the reaper leviathan) there's a bunch of good resources and fragments right there. lithium grows on the mushroom trees which you'll need

[warm temple]

uh yeah

[long flame]

what

[toxic bobcat]

didnt know that

i am not good at geography anyhow

[long flame]

Pretty sure there’s a mushroom forest beside the dunes

[long flame]

alr thx

[acoustic osprey]

There are 2 seperate mushroom forests yea

[long flame]

Are there parts there too

[acoustic osprey]

Moonpol, modification station, cyclops bridge and hull fragments iirc

[scenic oriole]

And power transmitter fragments

[long flame]

Bet thx

Also I can’t seem to find propulsion cannon parts

[acoustic osprey]

There should be some near aurora

[scenic oriole]

Seabed in crash zone and wrecks in grassy plateaus

(One quaranteed fragment inside Aurora)

Also underwater islands biome and wreck in mushroom forest

[toxic bobcat]

bro i found a million in random wrecks

[slate isle]

Nice circle ⭕️ 👍

And also

[long flame]

not for me yall

[vast bridge]

Maybe the random wrecks were different from yours.

[rough whale]

I usually find prop cannon frags near the big ship on the near side

[toxic bobcat]

bro

[amber cairn]

In the big wreck in the western grassy plateau in between entrances to the jellyshroom cave

around here

[abstract basin]

Guys help me 😭😭😭

[vast bridge]

Grab a rock with the propulsion cannon and push it with it.

[abstract basin]

ok ill try

[abstract basin]

tyyy

[scenic oriole]

Any grassy plateaus can have them, and none of them has quaranteed propulsion cannon fragments...

[formal ember]

im making a replica of subnautica's o2 bar and i wanna know if im allowed to use the pdas voices for like "30 seconds" or "oxygen"

[amber cairn]

Pardon, I've only ever had 1 playthrough and wasn't familiar with the fact that there is RNG in world gen

[chilly cave]

bro died

[pliant mesa]

So.. 223 mods is good?

[deft carbon]

Whats the best way to farm stalkee teeth when you're far away from the kelp?

[torpid magnet]

could anyone give a progression guide for subnautica

[boreal patrol]

hey anyone know why this isnt letting me build? there isnt anything around that should be blocking it and when I remove the other 1 reinforcement I can place this on, also when there is 1 reinformenct plaed it blocks every other spot in that room, any idea why? (yes im modded, only the red plague and reqiurements)

[pallid rampart]

There could be a billion things but you should really just build it somewhere else

[chilly cave]

theyre all going down mwahahaha

[long flame]

How do I find cyclops and the engine blueprint

[bitter stag]

Guys is there a command were you can unlock the alien containment thingy

[acoustic osprey]

Look around the wreck in the underwater islands biome for engine fragments, you can also go in crag field to find some

[long flame]

alr thx

also how many time capsules are there in game to find

Cuz I just found 2

[torpid summit]

its in the bulb zone

[sweet gulch]

what biomes do the levis spawn in? (on the map biome-wise)

idk

[broken spruce]

NAUT

lol

Pretty sure that's why it won. Or perhaps I have a childish sense of humor.

[opal pelican]

when plushie cuddlefish?

[gleaming crag]

crash zone, dunes, grand reef, blood kelp zone (not trench), void/crater edge, ||lava zone||

passive ones not included

[narrow pilot]

Did you know there’s a secret island 👀

[lone grotto]

Yes

[tranquil swan]

How do I wishlist subnotica 2?

[wide widget]

why are the leviathan sizes so distorted

[wild mirage]

Wdym

[wild mirage]

I don't think you can, not sure though

Maybe check out steam or Microsoft store

[azure hare]

jump scare

im gonna go crash my seamoth

[wild mirage]

Mekan, is that you..

[median valve]

I would really like to know where I can find magnetite so I can build my stasis rifle so I can at least have SOME sort of defense against larger hostile animals. Anywhere I can find it that doesn't involve me testing a reaper's patience or going too deep?

[long flame]

Ah

[tawny tusk]

up to 40 in one save, but not guaranteed

[long flame]

ooooh

[tawny tusk]

get stalker eggs and metal scrap, hatch the eggs in a containment, take the stalkers outside and use a grav trap to force them to pick up the scrap

[tawny tusk]

you will need to go deeper, but only about 300m
in the grassy plateus, at about 90m, you can find large pits that lead into a new biome with purple ambient light
magnetite can be found lying about on the ground in this area

the entrances are mostly on the borders between grassy plateaus and kelp forest

[tawny tusk]

i recommend exploring the underwater islands wreck or scanning the one in the final ||degasi base|| to get the blueprint

[long flame]

Is the purple ambient light the big purple mushroom cave with ||degasi||

[tawny tusk]

yep

[long flame]

is there an ||alien containment|| in there

[tawny tusk]

nope

[long flame]

ok

what does magnetite look like

[tawny tusk]

you can get ||water filtration machine, enameled glass recipie, and a few nuclear reactor fragments there though||

[tawny tusk]

a spiky, lustrous gray rock

[long flame]

yea I got most of them except the ||nuclear reactor fragments||

[long flame]

ah

[tawny tusk]

those are scattered around the base i believe
i may be wrong though

if you have blueprints requiring magnetite, it will show you what it looks like

the way it spawns is similar to quartz found in caves

[long flame]

also I can’t find cyclops engine parts, and propulsion cannon

searched the mushroom forests like 6 million times

almost got jumped by a ||reaper||

[tawny tusk]

prop cannon is found in various wrecks, the grassy plateus seem to be particularly rich in them

engine frags can be found in the underwater islands wreck, crag fields, or back of the aurora (creature danger)

[long flame]

bru ok

the most scary part is that I hear the scary creature but can’t see it

[tawny tusk]

and they hunt by sound, so if you can hear it, it can see you

[long flame]

…

where can I find mk2 seamoth

[tawny tusk]

lol it's not usually a big deal, they are more territorial than anything

[tawny tusk]

you need mod station first

i think you unlock mk2 when you have mk1 and mod station blueprint

[long flame]

Ok

[tawny tusk]

vehicle upgrade console can be found in grassy plateaus wrecks if you don't already have it

[tawny tusk]

it can also be found in the mountains (creature danger again)

(referring to magnetite)

[scenic oriole]

Seamoth and prawn upgrade blueprints, including all depth modules but excluding prawn arms are unlocked with vehicle upgrade console

[tawny tusk]

sounds accurate

you need mod station to actually craft mk2 though

[karmic lava]

It cannot be found in just any random grassy plateaus wreck

[tawny tusk]

yes but i don't remember which wreck

there's like 4

[karmic lava]

I don’t either tbh, I go to sparse reef, where you can find it near one of the wrecks down there😅

[tawny tusk]

that's a good spot too

lots of good blueprints

mod station, powercell charger, vehicle upgrade, reinforced dive suit, cyclops fire suppression, thermal plant, moonpool, bioreactor

[gleaming crag]

im kinda bored of subnautica, i have my hardcore save just laying around

i did good progress on it already or smth, idk

[chilly cave]

hello chat

[chilly cave]

get mods fr

they make the game refreshing and fun

[gleaming crag]

mobile 💔

[chilly cave]

oh.

[odd dove]

Mountain is unfortunately can be very dark, I remember driving my cylops and then turn it off because it is really dark and I don't want the hassle of dealing with that reddish giant eel.

Just seconds after, the tail of that particular giant reddish eel appear on my cyclops window

[chilly cave]

oh look the water is orange! proceeds to hear a loud roar

[chilly cave]

reaper leviathan is its name btw

[median valve]

The radio message telling you how to get off the planet as well as putting in a sandwich order for lunch is simultaneously funny and horrifying.

[odd dove]

Hey I am trying.to.keep things mysterious lol

[chilly cave]

ah alr

I killed one of each hostile leviathan.

[odd dove]

Sea Dragon's number is not that good to begin with, ah reducing one is maybe not good?

[chilly cave]

i reduced one in the lava lakes

so therefore it has no leviathan anymore

(theres 3 sea dragon 2 in inactive lava zone 1 in lava lakes)

[odd dove]

To be fair, that is classic corpo move.

[median valve]

"what...are...you?"
Someone who is trying to put some resources in my locker. now leave me alone, creepy disembodied voice that made me think a hypnotist fish was messing with me.

[gleaming crag]

hardcore is pretty easy icl, but the thought i can lose days of progress from slipping once doesnt help

[marsh cobalt]

To unknown worlds. I was playing around with a reaper leviathan. It is now stuck under the map and it will not come out. What. The. Hell.

This game is over a decade old and you have yet to solve this problem

Sea Traders phase through the floor. If I am more afraid of leviathans being permanently lost and stuck than I am being killed, you aren't doing a very good job of updating your game

[wind bridge]

If you go far away, wont the seabed despawn and the reaper could exit?

[marsh cobalt]

I'll try. This shouldn't even be an issue

I have had creatures swim through solid walls more often than I've died

It's ... I'm trying so hard not to curse. .. Jesus. Why is this still an issue

[wind bridge]

Tbf clipping is easy for yourself

At least was

[marsh cobalt]

Great name btw. I love music. Nu metal, shoegaze, drone and post rock are the tops

[wind bridge]

Thanks!

[wind bridge]

I assume there's some problems with the physics engine

[marsh cobalt]

Shout outs to Swans, MF Doom and Big Brave

But yea, hit boxes in this game. Even after so many updates.... Nonsense like this happens without me even trying

[wind bridge]

Its a buggy game and tbf I love it

[marsh cobalt]

It shouldn't be buggy. The company working on this has AAA resources now and they updated the game so the Prawn Suit doesn't clip

But creatures still clip

What is wrong with these people

[wind bridge]

They might not think its that big of an issue

I mean it makes the reaper scarier lol

[marsh cobalt]

It makes the devs incompetent

[wind bridge]

Bury themselves in the ground and jump out

[wind bridge]

They're working on subnautica 2 rn they might not have much time for these updates

[marsh cobalt]

They had time for the recent one...

[wind bridge]

2.0?

[marsh cobalt]

And none of the major issues were fixed. Windows are still foggy

Yes

When the modding community is marking your own game function better than you are, you aren't doing a very good job.

[wind bridge]

They fixed the clipping with mobile vehicle bay in that update

[marsh cobalt]

I never had a single issue with that. Even back when I played on PS4

In fact, the leviathans clip more on my PC than they did when I played on console.

[wind bridge]

It was mostly used to get out of bounds on purpose

[wind bridge]

I only play on switch so idk

[marsh cobalt]

I'm not new either. I got this pic by hatching 30 plus sand sharks in the sea treaders path.

[wind bridge]

Why is it glowing so much

[marsh cobalt]

The sand sharks silt mixed with the creepvine light makes an effect that is incredible.

I use the game's assets to paint. I want to love it and make it the best it can be, and then a Reaper just un alives itself into the Aether and there is nothing I can do to solve the problem.

[wind bridge]

Is it on cinematic ?

[marsh cobalt]

I'm gonna try and lure it out of the walls with decoys.

That's a lously cell phone pic of my monitor

I can get a higher res image if you'd like

[wind bridge]

Put a decoy and go far away for the seabed to disappear

[marsh cobalt]

I am hoping in vain that the mods and developers are reading all of this

Just get the team that made Tears of the Kingdom to remake Subnautica.

I'll play that instead

[wind bridge]

Totk was so buggy on release

[marsh cobalt]

But the assets stayed in bounds

The draw distance worked

[wind bridge]

Yeah but link didnt🙏

The stuff speedrunners did

[marsh cobalt]

I kjow

But you had to work hard to break the game

In Subnautica, it breaks all the time without any effort

[wind bridge]

Its a different physics engine ( I think )

[marsh cobalt]

It is

To be fair, Nintendo are masters of their craft, not masters of sales and pricing, but masters none the less

Subnautica is the first game of it's kind made by a young company. I just wish the issue of clipping was given attention and notice

[wind bridge]

They probably know about it and have done something already or think fixing it isnt that big of a priority

[marsh cobalt]

They're setting a great example.

Be Id and Valve. Make games that work and fix what doesn't.

[wind bridge]

There probably will be more bug patching later on

[marsh cobalt]

I really hope you're right. The reason I love Subnautica so much is that it is a game that the devs wanted to make. The sound design alone has more passion than a Bjork album. I hate it when something as basic as walls not working has been a consistent problem since launch. I also hate that the problem has never been addressed by the people responsible.

[wind bridge]

I wouldnt mind this being fixed but they have to keep cyclops flinging in

Its so funny

[mild fern]

Does riley in subnautica have a Second name like Robin Ayou in below zero

[marsh cobalt]

He does in fact

Riley Reaperbait.

[wind bridge]

Robinson

[mild fern]

Thx

[wind bridge]

Np

[marsh cobalt]

I was able to lure the reaper back in bounds and within seconds it dove straight back through the floor...

I'm doing all this where the mountains meet the bulb zone. I'm learning the hard way that Reapers want Ampeels dead more than Unknown Worlds wants to kill functional walls.

[torpid magnet]

anyone got a progression guide idk what to do

[marsh cobalt]

The reaper in question dives towards every ampeel it sees and then ends up under the map.

[marsh cobalt]

I can help.
What do you need to know?

[torpid magnet]

I just need an idea of what I need to do

I have crafted a seaglide

[marsh cobalt]

I'd recommend searching for fragments and hoarding blueprints

Make a repair tool if you haven't already and fix the radio in your lifepod. Keep listening to radio broadcasts as they will point you to useful data boxes and blueprints.

[torpid magnet]

yeah I already did that

[marsh cobalt]

Do you have the scanner room blueprints and do you have a sea moth?

[torpid magnet]

nope

I'll get that

[marsh cobalt]

👍

Focus on finding as many wrecks, blueprints and upgrades as you can. The best are the scanner room and the scanner room HUD chip. having those will allow you to build mini bases and find any resource you need.

[torpid magnet]

okay thanks

[torpid magnet]

I made the mobile bay

[vast bridge]

Old tech.

Collisions are disabled on purpose when they're outside of the player's range.

A mod can change the clipmapping settings, but the developer has to comply with the maximum of hardware possible.

So yes modders can do more.

And it isn't due to incompetence.

[near zealot]

what is the problem with:

1. adding a setting that disables that
2. i think u can still detect when they are touched so enabling collision if they are touched by a creature until the touch ends
3. also stopping all creatures from moving when they are outside of the player's range
4. teleporting creatures / leviathans if they are stuck there for longer than X seconds (not close to player tho)

[vast bridge]

How would you detect they're out of bounds? There is no real difference.

The setting disables collisions at higher level of details.

https://youtu.be/kut2Eg3xLaw

As you can see at 1:10, it's a relatively short range. Creatures are still visible with the fog outside.

Having collisions at higher levels means you have to prevent the downsampling of the mesh, which is still a performance killer.

Even nowadays.

[torpid gate]

Bro I feel like this is the type of gc I could send in ss of my homework to and get it done for me

[vast bridge]

Also, creatures have a leash. They'll try to come back to that leash position. So they'll naturally come back out of bounds. The behavior FleeOnDamage rewrites the leash position though.

Ie: if you hurt a creature forcing it to go out of bounds, it will probably stay there because it's the location of its new leash.

An end game creature that likes to go out of bounds doesn't have its leash position rewritten by this behavior. So it won't stay out of bounds indefinitively (5:37).

But that isn't the case for the reaper / ghost.

[sick swift]

If a game just puts everything in stasis outside oof range, then this 'clipping' issue wouldnt happen according to your logic, yet it happens all the time even within range. You fly over one of the mushroom forests, andd you litterally can get a the giant squid for instance, come from the bloodkelp through the floor, b lineing it to you. There should 100%^be barriors to prevent AI from clipping like this

This is incompetance. Not many other Unity games have this issue, yet SN has it :p

[vast bridge]

Your crabsquid clipped through before that.

[sick swift]

How do you know that when its the first time I even got there?

[vast bridge]

Because that's how it works, did you watch the video?

The first level of detail is pretty small.

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1140 This mod just changes the clipmap settings the same way I do.

It's just more user-friendly.

[sick swift]

I am nto sure why you think I should watch a video about 'explaining' how stuff works. I as an end user can compare how other Unity games have not the issue of clipping but this one has.

[vast bridge]

Because you contest my explanation.

So you should take the time to at least understand what I say.

[sick swift]

I am not contesting what you say. I am agreeing to the point that was made to why clipping still is an issue. Not contesting you. As an end user I do not care about that. I just care about result :p

[vast bridge]

I am not saying it isn't a problem. I said it's a ten years old tech.

[sick swift]

Yeah, Old tech UWE used, but other games pre 2016 on Unity didnt have these issues.

[vast bridge]

Which one in particular, a game that has a lot going on on the Y (depth) axis and which is semi open world do you have in mind?

Something that keeps track of every entity position in the world.

As Subnautica does.

[formal ember]

hey ignis

sorry for the ping uhh im making a replica of subnauticas hud like oxygen and i wanna know if im allowed to use the pda sounds, since they are released on the wiki

[stray grove]

Where can I find the cyclops fragments

[small trellis]

which one?

hull and bridge can both be found in the mushroom forests, and engine can be found near the aurora

[unique gull]

hey guiys i need help for some reason when i was using commands this happened it ment ot be the big aquarium

[vast bridge]

DM Donya the community manager on top of the list and ask her in DM. But if it's for commercial purpose she'll probably say no.

[vast bridge]

PC?

[unique gull]

ya

[vast bridge]

Did you already save?

If so, remove the baked batch cells file where it is.

Get close to it, press F1, note the camera batch index.

That's the file you want to remove.

[formal ember]

commercial purpose?

[vast bridge]

If you receive money one way or another with what you want to do.

[unique gull]

it gone now

thx anyway

[fathom ether]

Update, I found my cuddlefish, homie swam to the crash site 💀

[outer orbit]

||where should I build neptune||

[cedar gale]

Where ever you want really
I usually wait to build it til near the end but I put it near my base for convenience

[outer orbit]

safe shallows? is it good?

[cedar gale]

Probably wouldn't hurt to do it in just a bit deeper waters, I don't think shallows will be that bad but the terrain near the surface could end up screwing with things

[outer orbit]

sugesstions?

[cedar gale]

It really does not matter that much, put it wherever

I've never build it in the shallows so idk how it'd go, that's all I'm saying

[wind bridge]

It doesnt let you build in shallows

[cedar gale]

Oh wait you're right

[wind bridge]

Deeper water is required

[cedar gale]

I think I tried it once but since I'm usually out of the shallows I never see that prompt lol

[wind bridge]

Its the same as the cyclops

[toxic bobcat]

grassy plateaus maybe?

or mushroom forest

if your gonna have your vehicle near

[shy nymph]

Why does my prawn suit ingredients says unknown ingredients it says 0/20 is it a bug

I have scanned all in the aurora

[toxic bobcat]

have you tried reloading your save?

[wind bridge]

Try reloading your save file

[shy nymph]

Yes I have

[vast bridge]

You probably didn't scan them all.

More information in the description: https://youtu.be/BMBTSihLp6I

[shy nymph]

Yes I think there's 5 in aurora but I just need 4 so I left it prob

[vast bridge]

Tl;dr the PDA triggers the /20 in the greyed state, but the /4 is a separate counter.

[outer orbit]

Where can I find silvere

with drill arm

[vast bridge]

Sandstone outcrops.

As for the drill arms all possible locations:

If you don't want spoils: mid-game wrecks. Grand Reef, Dunes, Underwater Islands, Blood Kelp Trench.

If you meant the silver deposits: Dunes, Crag Fields, Mountains, Underwater Islands.

||Lost River and the Inactive Lava Zone|| too.

How beautiful this thing is.

[scenic oriole]

If you scanned four, you should have the blueprint and not show 0/20. You probably only scanned 3 in Aurora🤷‍♂️

[vast bridge]

Out of bounds I'm afraid. The way it works is that you have slots, which are invisible placeholders in the map and the game spawns resources in their place with a set of rules called the entity distribution (weighted RNG).

Slots were automatically generated on the map using a script, once the level designers were done with the landscape.

Problem is, sometimes slots were generated, the level designer changed the landscape and didn't run the script again.

So slots are still where the old landscape was.

It doesn't happen often in the starting areas but the more endgame you go the more out of bound slots you might find.

[gray oak]

thats gotta be so annoying if your scanner room is put there

[vast bridge]

Indeed.

[outer orbit]

why is there a storage unit in neptune

like what am I gonna bring to earth? rocks* 💀

[gray oak]

aliens

[outer orbit]

uhm

[gray oak]

shove like a bunch of cuddlefish in there and bring them home or something

[swift sleet]

hey subnauters

[long flame]

I can’t find any cyclops engine parts like wth

and propulsion cannon parts

I just need 2 more engine and 1 cannon parts

[vast bridge]

Behind the Aurora you can find the engine.

Or just try on the left side.

You'll find propulsion cannon on the left side, and maybe one or two engine if you're lucky.

[primal jolt]

Underwater islands, crag field and near the mountain island also have engine fragments, honestly much safer options

[shy nymph]

I have played multiple subnautica saves I always do 4

[long flame]

where’s crag field

[shy nymph]

Including the one hangin

[primal jolt]

its south of the back of the aurora, dark biome with spiky rock formations

[long flame]

no leviathans?

[primal jolt]

no leviathans

only bonesharks

[long flame]

Okok

[primal jolt]

there's a guaranteed fragment somewhere on the border of crag fields with the grassy plateaus

[long flame]

alr

what does the grand reef look like

[primal jolt]

has these glowing alien pods anchored to the ground, is very blue, has many warpers and bonesharks and is south of the sparse reef

and two adult ghost leviathans aswell

[long flame]

is there anything useful to get in the grand reef

cuz idk wth warpers are but they sound deadly

[primal jolt]

i find one wreck there pretty useful as it has many prawn suit arm fragments, from grapple, to drill, to torpedo

it also has a bit of gel sacks and shale outcrops

and an entrance to a very important biome...

[long flame]

mhmmmmmm interesting ok

[primal jolt]

also if you been there, its below the floating island

[long flame]

The important biome?

[primal jolt]

the grand reef, and the entrance lies very close

[long flame]

Ah ok

Bru I need the cannon to get into the aurora

I literally searched the mushroom forest, both of em, and the red grass

all the parts I found in the red grass were laser cutters

[primal jolt]

try the left side of the aurora for propulsion cannon fragments, if not there lots of wrecks in grassy plateaus actually have a lot of propulsion cannon fragments

[small trellis]

HELP

i am lost in da lavazone with my cyclops 😭

i want to go back but i do not know where i need to go

[long flame]

alr

[small trellis]

please is there a way to like go back in time or something

[scenic oriole]

You can quit without saving and load your previous save...that's closest to going back in time🤷‍♂️

[small trellis]

how do i load the previus save?

and will my vehicles go back too?

[scenic oriole]

Like I said: quit without saving and load the save. It will be just like where you have last saved

[small trellis]

okay

[scenic oriole]

When you try to quit the game will tell how long ago was your last save

[coral anvil]

anyone know what those little updates were for?

[small trellis]

OMG it worked thank you

may you find 45 time capsules

[amber cairn]

I built a new base on top of the giant petrified mushroom tree lol

The sea floor is -190m but my base is at -35m

[small trellis]

have you found the creature egg inside?

[amber cairn]

yeah! haven't hatched it yet

maybe I'll bioreactor it JK

[scenic oriole]

If you mean the updates for Subnautica and below zero about a month ago, check patch notes from the links
#announcements message

[amber cairn]

how scared I was for river serpents and crabsquids... they turn into windshield meat just like bonesharks :O

important to turn off the headlights or the crabsquids will zap you

[coral anvil]

i only got the updates like yesterday and i was playing bz a few days before so it wouldve put it in my queue

so its something else i think, thanks tho

[wind bridge]

Those updates came late for ps4

Its the same update

[coral anvil]

oh 😭 thanks

last remaining ps4 warrior

[wind bridge]

Still standing

[coral anvil]

barely, my room might as well be an airstrip

[amber cairn]

I really want a fix for Reaper Leviathans disappearing into the sea floor. or else add a massive silt explosion to imply they are digging, lol

I want to mention that Subnautica has been incredibly stable for my whole 60ish hours playthrough so far. No crashes or instability, just a little bit of collision wackiness that has existed all along

[coral anvil]

the 2.0 update ironed out a fair few crashing bugs if i recall

but the collision wackiness is part of the charm

[outer orbit]

floater killed me

[vast bridge]

Do you have a video?

[outer orbit]

no didnt really had the need to record that

but its funny

I was doing expriements with cyclops and floaters

[vast bridge]

Do you remember how much health you had?

[outer orbit]

very low

[vast bridge]

Alright.

There are a few things that deal more damage than they should in the game. The floater is concerned that's why I'm curious.

[outer orbit]

what does the storage in neptune rocket do

[coral anvil]

i believe its more aesthetics than anything

[scenic oriole]

You can roleplay and bring stuff you want with you

[amber cairn]

is there a limit how tall you can stack a multipurpose room

i should be able to toss a gasopod into a reefback's filter tube and deal 2000 damage

[outer orbit]

HOW DO ı turn off quarantine platform

[vast bridge]

The ||core|| has to check if you're cured.

[outer orbit]

huh

I have enzyme

I mean im not infected

[vast bridge]

Then go there.

[outer orbit]

where?

[vast bridge]

Lower section.

[outer orbit]

primary containment...?

[vast bridge]

No the ||QEP||.

[outer orbit]

||whats qep Im sorry if Im slow||

[vast bridge]

The ||alien base on Mountain Island||.

[outer orbit]

oh! ok. what do i do there?

[vast bridge]

You go back to the lower section and you activate the ||core of the facility|| that will check if you're cured.

[scenic oriole]

The tablet will be filtered out...

[amber cairn]

is there a mod that makes wall lockers and standing lockers "snap" to walls a bit better, or snap to each other horizontally at least?

[scenic oriole]

I've heard of a mod named snapbuild🤷‍♂️

[amber cairn]

lemme take a look

[outer orbit]

help this is scary

[amber cairn]

I believe there's a headlamp accessory

[outer orbit]

uh

what

there is?

[amber cairn]

Oh. that's in BZ

my mistake

[outer orbit]

||I.... I did it....||

[tacit lily]

ggs

[outer orbit]

ggs.... was a good journey

now time for below zero!

[obtuse jungle]

Did you know, if you plant Creepvine seeds, you’ll get a creepvine plant that will sprout more seeds. But if you plant a creepvine sample, you will just get a creepvine plant with no seeds? I just learned that today.

[amber cairn]

my 8 year old daughter taught me this yesterday. i kept wondering why my creepvines wouldn't grow bulbs

growing blood oil in an exterior grow bed is a super easy way to keep having benzene avaialble, too

[obtuse jungle]

Dozens of times through the game, and I’m just learning this now. I’ve never planted a sample before, because I assumed you couldn’t, until yesterday I did by accident.

[amber cairn]

also, if you strike a mushroom with your knife, you'll get 3-4 seeds that grow into a full mushroom

same with gel sacks

[obtuse jungle]

I mean, I know about farming plants. I’ve just never planted a Creepvine sample before.

[amber cairn]

somehow didn't realize gel sacks were plants

[obtuse jungle]

In my head, they’re where floaters originally come from.

[scenic oriole]

Not exactly same: hitting shroom once destroys it and gives 4 spores. Hitting gel sack gives one spore and third hit will destroy it. If you hit gel sack twice, pick it up and replant it, you can again hit it twice for two spores and repeat to get infinite spores from one gel sack

[amber cairn]

that's tricky fun heh

[obtuse jungle]

Oh, that’s good to know. I knew to hit-hit-pick up, but It hadn’t occurred to me to replant them.

What else have I been missing this whole time?

Next you’re going to tell me there’s a way to get off the planet.

Or ||cure kharaa||.

[amber cairn]

i want a battle harness for reaper leviathan

[scenic oriole]

Well, one interesting thing is that if you drop a laser cutter on the ground, you can scan it for databank entry

[amber cairn]

hey, that's interesting

[primal jolt]

Yeah that's so stupid 😭

I wanna know why the devs made it this way

[scenic oriole]

For most tools/equipment you get the databank entry when scanning fragments and unlocking blueprint

[amber cairn]

seems like a casual oversight

[obtuse jungle]

I’m learning so much today.

[amber cairn]

you need a super-autist on your team that will never overlook a single scrap of a detail

[primal jolt]

Also you can pin the cyclops bridge, hull and engine schematics for some reason

[amber cairn]

just needs a lil code exception

[nova light]

🕊️

[amber cairn]

for a lot of older games, the community ends up making a combined community modpack\patch that fixes the random casual issues the dev team were never given time to address. (it costs a lot of money to patch games on major platforms so the publish is not always OK with doing it or allocating manhours for it)

[primal jolt]

Also i wanna scan the purple pinecone and some other things like the mohawk plant

[obtuse jungle]

Argh - I’m a PDA Completist, and there’s nothing more frustrating than something I can’t scan.

[amber cairn]

sending a game to cert for the window store\Xbox live can cost upward of 50k :(

[long flame]

what’s that

[vast bridge]

It's a dove.

[primal jolt]

You know what i cant stand?
For some reason the pdas from lifepod 12 and 4 disappeared and i cant get the entries... Sucks because i wanted to 100% the pda

[vital hatch]

First real survival playthrough and I’m actually learning how to juke reapers wish me luck

[primal jolt]

Luck

[long flame]

damn

[vital hatch]

Thank u

[vast bridge]

The picture is a spoiler if you aren't at this stage.

[obtuse jungle]

Oh, that’s frustrating. /sympathy

[vital hatch]

||juked the reaper near the front of the aurora multiple times I’m learning||

[primal jolt]

Like whadoido

[amber cairn]

I had bad dreams about that last night. but at least I was successful in the dream. at one point I had to kickflip off the thing's forehead

[vast bridge]

You can force the game to regenerate parts of the map on PC / Android.

Therefore bringing back the PDAs.

[primal jolt]

Ooo

[amber cairn]

There seem to be some really bad bugs related to memory management on the PS\XB versions which can lead to things despawning or respawning, it's an issue with memory management on the consoles which developers can't easily address and the problems it causes are extremely hard to reproduce on a dev kit

[primal jolt]

I should try that, verifying game files didnt show anything unfortunately, even tried moving the lifepod 4 databox with a propulsion cannon to make sure its not on the pda

[amber cairn]

I will say I didn't run into related issues on my PC\Steam run. And every game I've worked on, the Steam version outperformed the windows store, PS, and Xbox versions by a lot and was far easier to work on

[vital hatch]

That’s awesome bro I used to be terrified of ||reapers|| but exposure therapy in survival/freedom helps

[amber cairn]

Yup I have made progress with my thalassophobia in this game. I am not scared of the medium size predators anymore and I can work up the courage to knife the leviathans to death now

[primal jolt]

I feel like the point is to avoid not kill leviathans

[amber cairn]

you're right, but I am placing bases all around the map and I wanted to conquer the territory

[primal jolt]

This is coming from someone irrationally scared of leviathans btw haha

[vital hatch]

Im working up 20 or so gaspods to kill my first one but its really just for convenience because i go to that area all the time

[amber cairn]

the green-yellow circles are where I've put bases so far. (map spoilers)

[amber cairn]

i've done a few with knife only, and I've done a few with just gasopods, and most I use a handful of gasopods while knifing themn

[primal jolt]

Instead of "conquering" maybe do creature research bases and learn how to avoid the dangerous creatures.

[amber cairn]

my next base in the mountains region will be my sea reaper observatory. I haven't killed any of those

[vital hatch]

||Dunes|| base? Major props brah

[primal jolt]

Make a blood kelp trench base for sure

[obtuse jungle]

I keep thinking I should put a base there, but it’s kind’ve a dull view, aside from the reapers.

[amber cairn]

that base had a reaper there (burger king foot lettuce) and I left him alive throughout the whole process including building the 150m tall vertical tube to connect my solar panels to the surface

[primal jolt]

The outskirts of the dunes arent that bad, not too much reapers in sight

[amber cairn]

it was so unbelievably scary coexisting with him

[vital hatch]

I might actually take that idea as well it sounds fun

[primal jolt]

And make sure to make your last base on the aurora like on top

[amber cairn]

can you get on top??? that's lit

[primal jolt]

Yeah... Vertical connectors and i segments go brrrr

[amber cairn]

my next base will be near the lone ghost leviathan in the north, who i intend to leave alive. once I finish with my mushroom treetop base

[primal jolt]

Also what are yalls fav biomes? For me gotta be bulb zone, grand reef, underwater islands and blood kelps

[amber cairn]

i am currently deconstructing my base near the crash site because it's terrible. later I'll put one on top of the aurora as you suggest

Crag fields is one of my favorites. i killed allllllllll of the bone sharks in a neverending seamoth joust, proving my superiority. i gathered enough eggs to repopulate them later

[vital hatch]

Underwater islands and sparse reef!! Sparse reef feels so ominous when you first enter but there’s hardly any danger and I like the vibe

[obtuse jungle]

It depends on my mood. But I’ve always got time for the Grassy Plateaus. Interesting views, soothing reefback calls.

[primal jolt]

When i first entered them islands i was sure there's something huge at the bottom or there is NO bottom

[amber cairn]

Grassy Plateaus is one of the best biomes for a safe base

But I like making bases that keep watch on the dangerous biomes

[primal jolt]

The bulb zone feels chill, warm yet tense and cold... And so alien too i LOVE it

[vital hatch]

It’s pretty as well I like seeing reefbacks while I’m in my base

[obtuse jungle]

My last playthrough I made a great base on the underwater islands. But I tried powering it with thermal plants from the seafloor and they kept losing connection. Very frustrating.

[primal jolt]

Thermal plants arent that good honestly

[obtuse jungle]

I like power sources that I can just set and forget. Bioreactors, I have to constantly check, and I find myself doing the same with nuclear, even though I’ve never had to swap a rod.

[vital hatch]

Me too!! I was a creative main for awhile so it’s kind of hard to remember to check my power sources

[primal jolt]

I literally just put 4 rods in the nuclear plants and forget about them, its SUCH A GREAT power source

[obtuse jungle]

If I do use them, though, I have to put them far away from my living quarters. WHUM WHUM WHUM WHUM

[vital hatch]

I’ll remember that when I build my grand reef base

[primal jolt]

I get that frfr

Put it in the "industrial zone"

[vital hatch]

Actually what do you guys reccomend for a first base in terms of scenery like genuine question

[obtuse jungle]

I’m pretty basic. I think Safe Shallows are gorgeous.

[primal jolt]

Scenery? Bulb zone, grand reef, safe shallows

[amber cairn]

Me too but they're obnoxiously loud. That whale call they do needs to happen 1\15th as often

I've been spending 250 knife swings to kill them because I'm sick of it

[vital hatch]

I also like safe shallows but if I decide to build there I think I’d build it deeper into it so I’m not right next to my lifepod grand reef, bulb zone and safe shallows are my first picks as of now

[primal jolt]

CRASH ZONE MeSAS

[obtuse jungle]

I like building next to one of the geysers (there’s those thermal plants again). It’s deeper, it borders the northern grassy plateaus as well as a kelp forest. Good variety, easy access.

[burnt relic]

the edge of the grassy plateaus next to dunes kelp forest safe shallows and mushroom forest will always be my fav base spot

[vital hatch]

Can you perchance send a screenshot of the area you’re talking about I might consider

[burnt relic]

like a map or just a game screen shot of the general area

just the yellow circle. obv base building is completely ur choice but i would always reccomend here 🥹

dont open if u dont want map spoilers!!

[primal jolt]

How about by the blood kelp trench

[burnt relic]

just a bit further from other stuff. but very good for getting to lr

[vital hatch]

OUUUUUU OKAY thank u bro 😼

[primal jolt]

Also isnt there a reaper wandering there?

[burnt relic]

just dont go dunes 🥶

[primal jolt]

I remember

There is a reaper thats on that "mountain" i think

[vital hatch]

I remember seeing a reaper bordering the area in the past it wandered a bit into grassy plateaus and it freaked me out

[burnt relic]

yes i managed to get him glitched over my base there

[amber cairn]

yeah to the southeast\east. very close

[burnt relic]

on the flip side its pretty cool having a reaper close

obsevervatory looking at it

[primal jolt]

On topic of glitching i think my discord just broke, im on mobile and its halfway through flipping channels for some reason, happens often on mobile

[narrow pilot]

Sparse reef

[vital hatch]

They really aren’t that bad once you learn juking and other ways to avoid them

[narrow pilot]

The sparse reef shallows are pretty

[vital hatch]

Sparse reef is gorgeous I love it

[narrow pilot]

Very bonita

[burnt relic]

this is the area i managed to get him stuck in

[long flame]

safe shallows

[narrow crow]

fish

[amber cairn]

@scenic oriole what is the sensible method for building tall vertical connectors upward above water? All the methods I'm trying seem insanely tedious

[mint shoal]

Bro has the secret seizure blast module on his prawn suit 💔😭

[amber cairn]

building up to the top of the aurora seems like an unreasonable ballache

[burnt relic]

yeah the reaper just started tweaking 😭

[obtuse jungle]

On the other hand, using “ghost” mode to build a massive base inside the hollow space inside the Aurora model: win!

[amber cairn]

it lets me build a foundation platform on top of the cyclops D:

player building collision & the ability to leap out of the water or climb up structures is amazingly poor in this game, so building above water feels very tedious and difficult

it is doable - i've reached the yellow stripe on the hull. but the order of operations is challenging to get right and if you make certain mistakes, like falling off at the wrong time, yuo'd have to start over at extreme, extreme effort

if you deconstruct a downward-facing hatch from inside an I-tube, for example, you can't finish deconstructing it, and you can't construct an upward-facing hatch in the same segment, and there's no way to finish deconstructing that hatch or deconstruct the i-tube that it's in. this feels fairly unresolvable without abandoning the whole project or starting over by trashing the whole thing

even though you can see the ghost building, pressing Q won't progress the deconstruction from any angle.

and building an overhead hatch is not possible while the below-hatch still exists.

so I'm in this situation and can't think of a feasible way to fix it

if I make a side hatch, I can deconstruct about 10% of the bottom hatch as I fall out the door, lmao

K, I solved it by building a T-section off the side and placing a hatch on one of the ends, which gives a hatch with a platform. I stood on that and was able to remove the scaffolds

[burnt relic]

im not intelligent enough for this

[mint shoal]

the unstuck button exists

[elder flicker]

if this isnt enough i will crash out

[mellow gull]

can someone say any character from any movie game or show

[mint shoal]

Why

[mellow gull]

bc

im gonna make a video where that character is in subnautica

[mint shoal]

Garfield

[mellow gull]

ok

[amber cairn]

Starting to figure this out.

[thorn spoke]

Dexter Morgan

[mellow gull]

BET

wait

say another they are gonna fight

[thorn spoke]

Officer Nolan from the Rookie

[mellow gull]

this fight gonna be fire

[amber cairn]

Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop (no firearm) vs. Michael Keaton Bruce Wayne (no batman gadgets or equipment)

[amber cairn]

i have water filtration units in a large room at tide level - it counts as being in water, because building anything in this room reduces the base stability level. however, even though I have power and the device appears to be running, nothing ever seems to happen. anyone got an idea why?

[odd dove]

It takes awhile to make water, as far as I kn w

[amber cairn]

yeah for some reason the percentage progress wasn't showing up

but after leaving and returning, now it is

though it says "salt 100%" but isn't producing a salt

[odd dove]

Need cyclops docking module t o seamlessly move cargo too between base and cyclops

[amber cairn]

Aurora Heights

[strong heath]

Hey could someone help me with a Subnautica challenge I’m not sure I made it or someone else did

[nimble peak]

M

[strong heath]

I’m trying to scan every fauna and flora in the game but I don’t know what’s scannable and what’s not

[rough whale]

Most things are the only two that are troublesome are pigmy fans and blood grass the blood grass is 100% impossible though

[strong heath]

Oh

[mellow gull]

i think it will be done in like a week

i just got done making a storyboard

[glossy sun]

Where are multipurpose room fragments I'm sick of needing solar panels to power my scanner room

I need a multipurpose room to fit a bioreactor

[acoustic osprey]

Did you find the jellyshroom caves yet

[glossy sun]

The what now?

The place with the weird worms

Where you can find magnatite?

[acoustic osprey]

Yea

[acoustic osprey]

Go to the east end of that biome

[glossy sun]

K, I'll get there soon

[acoustic osprey]

👍

[glossy sun]

Yeah, using solar panels sucks and I needed multipurpose room

Also, where do I find grappler arm fragments

I don't want to use my prawn suit with out it

[acoustic osprey]

explore the wrecks in the grand reef

[elder flicker]

||aurora rendezvous island and jellyshroom cave, but please go to the island first||

[glossy sun]

There is no way in H-E double hockey stick I'm risking my life at the first one

[elder flicker]

huh?

[glossy sun]

Is that where the blue snake thing tried killing me

[elder flicker]

thats basically one of the only completely safe places on the map

[glossy sun]

Wait, I'm thinking of sunbeam lander

Where's the aurora place

[acoustic osprey]

well that's one of the places where they are

[glossy sun]

K

[acoustic osprey]

it's a big biome on the south

[elder flicker]

you will find it thro the radio calls, ||it will lead you to a escape pod where you will find pda that will lead to the rendezvous||

||i think its keen's||

[acoustic osprey]

it's Keen but yea
life pod 19

[glossy sun]

Ok, so opposite side of the God damn map where I am

Great

The worms one shot you?

I just found a time capsule, had 2 med packs 2 filtered water and a cured peeper, but I don't need the food or water, I went for the mode that gets rid of food and thirst for my first ever playthrough

If your here T thanks

Your message brought me to tears

Hey kid, I bet you're pretty eager to get off this puddle. Not a bad plan:however, you gotta admit it's a nice place. Inside I've left some things to help you along this journey, along with a piece of the beauty of 4546B. You only have so long on this planet, so make the most of it. Here's looking out for you, kid.

[tropic frost]

Anybody got any advice on getting over the crippling fear of leaving the shallows/grass areas?

[glossy sun]

Just go head first

Don't think about anything (but save first) and just swim

[tropic frost]

I did that for the Aurora but I was bricking myself the whole way

But I need to actually explore those areas at some point

[glossy sun]

I went to the pod,got the moon pool torpedo arm AND THE VEHICLE UPGRADE CONSOLE

I'm glad I went

Aww, I got another time capsule with a picture of some kind of air bender looking fish and 3 crystalline sulfer

The fish is cute

[amber cairn]

The sea moth has a sonar pulse module that has enough range to identify leviathans before you are in range to get attacked by them. By using that and the audio cues you can explore in the dark water without being too too afraid

Also, being close to the bottom of the sea gives you some defensive boundary as you won't have to watch in as many directions for large threats

[glossy sun]

What is the Airbender Octopus thing, I kind want one

I got what wanted, I'm heading to bed

[tropic frost]

Been doing that so far, might try and tackle the lost river tomorrow

[elder flicker]

you'll find out

[twilit plover]

Most of the monsters short of leviathans are cowardly and weak. Smack em once and they run away
Just make sure ur handling o2/food/wate/med packs correctly

[wild mirage]

That one crash fish staring at you menacingly:

[twilit plover]

Crash fish feel more aggressive than most enemies (short of leviathans). Idk pre sea glide more likely to get hit by crash fish and for that hit to actually matter than other monsters (non leviathans) post sea glide.

[wild mirage]

I have not once died to crash fish on my survival

On my hard-core however, all deaths involved a crashfish..

[twilit plover]

My first ever survival i died, after that i think it only ever lowered me enough i had to play it safe till new med pack came out

Like it usually doesn’t kill me, just lowers me enough I have to care about my health being low

[wild mirage]

Yep

First hardcore world was a crash fish plus thermal vent

2nd one was those stingers plus a crashfish

[twilit plover]

I was playing with audio off in a hardcore while making thermal plants and didn’t realize the heat was killing me

I had already constructed the cyclops and prawn I think

[wild mirage]

3rd one was a crash fish which damaged me a bit but in the panic I swam through a gas pod

[twilit plover]

Was a while back, I just remember that death hurt

[wild mirage]

But the burning animation thing appears on screen

How didn't you know 😭

[twilit plover]

In advanced suit u can ignore it 90% of time

It doesn’t actually do any damage

Unless ur really really close to the vent, which I was and didn’t remember

[wild mirage]

Reinforced dive suit? Yea

[twilit plover]

Yeah with reinforced dive suit the heat warning is ignoreable most of the time

I was actually there for a minute or two trying to place foundation and plants just right, and most of the time had the heat warning just didn’t matter till I was actually too close

[amber cairn]

thankfully lost river is neither extremely dark nor extremely vast. sonar is very effective in there. bring 2-3 extra vehicle batteries and plenty of water. you'll be fine for food in there with the thermoblade

fun fact, you can kill crash fish with your knife as soon as they pop out if you're pro

[wild mirage]

Ahh I see

[heady mauve]

has anyone else noticed that the thermal knife still has the boiling water bubble effect when you are not in water

[jade isle]

is it me or there is no cyclops Mk3 depth module?

[gray oak]

only prawn suit has no mk3 depth module

[jade isle]

why?

[gray oak]

you cant get to 1700 meters without cheats or bugs, furthest down you can go is 1600 something

[acoustic osprey]

Basically mk2 on prawn is enough to get anywhere in the game (except the bottom of the void ofc)

[gray oak]

if it had a mk3 it would be 2100 im pretty sure

[twilit plover]

U r looking at modification station right? Should automatically unlock when u unlock the mk1 blueprint for cyclops. The mk1 will be in cyclops fab, mk2 and mk3 in mod station

[gray oak]

i havent used my cyclops ever since i brought it back to my base which is like 40 in game days ago

[jade isle]

i seen no mk3 for cyclops

[twilit plover]

Pretty sure the lower areas (ie sea crown) of ||sea emperor tank|| get very close to 1700, but they don’t hit it

[scenic oriole]

But crush depth doesn't apply there; you can drive seamoth through the portal and it will be just fine

[twilit plover]

Oh did not know that

[twilit plover]

Maybe send photo of what appears on ur mod station

Should look like this

[jade isle]

i know how the symbol looks like i got it upgraded to tier 2...

[twilit plover]

The 1,2, and 3 all have variations and are not the same

[twilit plover]

Does ur mod station have 11 options?

[jade isle]

i am not there atm so i cannot check

but to my knowledge the station on the sub for its modules should have it aswell?

[twilit plover]

No, the cyclops fabricator only has the mk1 module

All upgrades are in the mod station

I suppose u could also have less than 11 if ur missing other blueprints (ie tank, repulsion, etc). But u seem pretty far along and the mod blueprints aren’t too hard to get

[tawny tusk]

technically it's only while you are in a base, if you are actually above water it's changed to a steaming effect
and this is due to the particles being attached to the knife model and the model change trigger only being your depth

[torpid magnet]

can someone give like a progression guide for me

[tawny tusk]

starting where

from the beginning?

[torpid magnet]

yes

maybe like objectives so i dont miss out anything

[tawny tusk]

i will try to avoid spoilers as best i can

[torpid magnet]

alright

[scenic oriole]

Read pda, collect materials and craft basic tools and equipment, fix and listen to radio, explore

[tawny tusk]

start in your lifepod, gather resources like titanium, copper and quartz, get your tools, build a new base, scan for fragments and find new blueprints, listen to the radio and follow your signals
when a timer appears on your screen, it's an important story event, get there on time
get vehicles, make depth upgrades, dive deeper
cave system entrance depth 90m, purple ambient light, gather new resources
find the structure in there
leave that cave
beginning of the endgame, find cave system entrance depth 600m-700m, green ambiance
get new resources, build a base there, investigate the thingy (impossible to miss, big green block thingy, clearly not natural)
make depth module, dive deeper to cave system underneath green area, entrance depth 900m
warm area, follow your pda's instructions
dive even deeper
listen to her
come to her
from then on, you will know what to do

any more specific than that, we get into spoilers

the game will pretty much guide you once you get deep enough

[scenic oriole]

(Not her, it...creatures on the planet have no genders)

[jade isle]

so it seems the damn module apeared after i basically no longer need it... after the empress lol
