subnautica-chat

[stone root]

I imagine the castle is somewhere near

[lucid grotto]

The sea dragon leviathan is camping me at the entrance of the thermal plant

[stone root]

One question, is it like hitting a frozen dummy, the way it is with reapers or does it have some supreme powers that negate stasis effect

and how many hits does itt ake with the termoblade

AND WHERE

IS THE ENTRANCE

OF THE CASTLE

[twilit turtle]

its got a glowing alien arch looking doorway

[stone root]

and about my first 2 question?

[twilit turtle]

sd's have 5000 health

it'll take you 250-odd hits to kill it

go for the head

the best way to do it is in a prawn w/grapple and drill

or just avoid the trouble altogether

[obtuse jungle]

I just saw a ||crabsquid repeatedly attack several warpers|| and I’m like “Yeah, go man, go!”

[stone root]

But i killed like 3 reapers already, why stop at a sea dragon?

[twilit turtle]

wipe the whole map while you're at it then

[twilit turtle]

YEAAAA

[stone root]

That... that was the whole plan

[twilit turtle]

do it then

[stone root]

I will

one question

[twilit turtle]

realize there's like 40 hostile leviathans on the map

[stone root]

how do i preserve my batteries from these little craplings

[stone root]

I know

[twilit turtle]

you go out and whack em off

and bring spares

[stone root]

and when i'm not there to do that?

I might aswell pull out all 6 cells

[twilit turtle]

exactly

switch em for a dead set or sum

[stone root]

Do i need like any tablets?

[twilit turtle]

the peri defense can also yoink em but that takes power

[twilit turtle]

for what?

[obtuse jungle]

How much power do they actually drain?

[stone root]

for the castle

[obtuse jungle]

No, you don’t.

[twilit turtle]

one single larve will drain 1% power every 33 secs

[obtuse jungle]

Yikes.

[twilit turtle]

and it scales

[stone root]

oh yeah that's bad i'm pulling out all my batteries

[lucid grotto]

Do I have to enter the second purple tablet force field on the thermal plant or just the one to get the blue tablet

[obtuse jungle]

You’ll want to do both.

Also, maybe mark that as spoilers for those who haven’t gotten this far yet.

[twilit turtle]

so 7 or more and you'll kill a new set of cells in less than two minutes

[lucid grotto]

||do I need to open both to progress the story||

[obtuse jungle]

Trying to remember…I think you do, because it gives you ||directions to the last facility||? But you definitely want to open it because that’s how you get ||ion battery and ion power cell blueprints||.

[lucid grotto]

💔 ||I have to come back to that hell hole||

[obtuse jungle]

/sympathy

[stone root]

YOU SAID

THAT I DON'T

NEED ANY TABLETS

[obtuse jungle]

Oh - I thought you meant to get ^to^ it. I thought you were still looking for a way through ||the castle||. Sorry.

[stone root]

It's alr, i got a spare one at my cyclops so no problem

[lucid grotto]

It was not a fine experience

[obtuse jungle]

On the plus side, you can ||activate the arch teleporter to the gun facility||, which means when you get back to the surface it’ll be quicker to bring the tablet back.

[stone root]

tho, should i use the ||ion cube for another tablet (since i only have one and there are 2 slots)||
or do i use it for ||the portal||

[stone root]

Ohhh alright i get it

[obtuse jungle]

Oh no, did it destroy your Cyclops?

[stone root]

Omaga we're at the exact same point in the story

[lucid grotto]

No it was off

[obtuse jungle]

Whew!

[lucid grotto]

I was one tablet short

[stone root]

Me too😭 🦞

[obtuse jungle]

It’s a pity you don’t have the drill arm, because there’s that pile of ion cubes to mine right there. But I’d say, if you can make another tablet, do that. You can ||activate the arch|| later.

[scenic oriole]

(One option is to ||open the portal and search for tablets in/near mountain island: there's 7||)

[lucid grotto]

I have tons of ion cubes

[stone root]

there's 7?? i only found ONE😭

[obtuse jungle]

||7?? I’ve only ever found 5. Sheesh, I need to look harder.||

[lucid grotto]

||There was a portal?||

[obtuse jungle]

Well, now I don’t feel as bad. 🙂

[proven shoal]

What's the best bio reactor fuel? (No cuddlefish)

[scenic oriole]

Oculus

[obtuse jungle]

Online, it says oculus. But I don’t like putting animals into it, so I usually use blood kelp oil.

[scenic oriole]

If you use plants, gel sack is best

[subtle bronze]

Did somebody say Oil

[proven shoal]

I also use it, but it's not really useful when you have 2 moonpools

[obtuse jungle]

Ah, no, you’d need something with more power than that. Maybe shift to nuclear?

[obtuse jungle]

How much better is gel sack? I can look it up if you’d rather.

[stone root]

hey can you tell me if the tablets are on dry land or underwater near the mtn. island?

[proven shoal]

I don't even know where to get uraninite

[scenic oriole]

Blood oil 420 per 4 slots, gel sack 245 per 1 slot

[scenic oriole]

Both

[obtuse jungle]

Both. ||Some above in the caves, at least two in the underwater caves.||

[stone root]

I'll go for dry land first

[obtuse jungle]

If you’ve gotten far enough to find blood kelp, you can usually find uranianite close by.

[scenic oriole]

For dry land plants (to grow next to the reactor), melons and bulbo trees are the same as blood oil, 420 per 4 slots, lanter fruit is half of that 210 per 4 slots.

[obtuse jungle]

Thanks! I’ve got a bunch of external growbeds with gel sacks just in case I need aerogel, but now I can really put them to work.

[median valve]

That's a very large skull.
What does it belong to?

[obtuse jungle]

Rover…? My parents said you went to live on a farm upstate!

[scenic oriole]

Did you check if it can be scanned to learn more?

[rapid thorn]

Something long gone and be glad it is gone

[latent kettle]

my mom

/j /silly

[jade brook]

its a Gargantuan Leviathan

[latent kettle]

yeah the pda doesnt really have much info oon it

[jade brook]

don't worry, all of them are dead in the game

[jade brook]

true

[latent kettle]

tbf its the only thing left that even suggests they exist

you can only glean so much from a single fossil, even with a super powerful interpretive ai

[haughty glacier]

There are multiple fossils of it

[latent kettle]

i thought that was the only one

there are multiple other fossils like it but theyre not for the same creature

[jade brook]

yeah without remains we would never know it existed, most of the remains of dead gargantuan leviathans have probably sunk into the deep abyss of the Void

[latent kettle]

or simply been eroded

[haughty glacier]

Theres a smaller skull (probably from a juvenile) near a ghost juvenile

The one thats next to a portal

[jade brook]

thats also a possibility

[latent kettle]

especially with super big creatures its really hard to find good fossils like that because the conditions to get preserved are pretty specific

[haughty glacier]

Idk if thats there bc of me using mods tho

[jade brook]

the question is, how are the remains in the lost river so perfectly preserved

[latent kettle]

bigger creatures -> less of them -> less chances for their corpse to be in one of those situations

[latent kettle]

probably a similar thing to bogs

the toxic river probably expedites the fossilization process, if only by removing flesh quicker

but it probably also makes it easier for the bone to get replaced/react

[jade brook]

wouldn't it erode the skeleton of that creature ?

[latent kettle]

depends on what its made of

[jade brook]

Hmm true

gotta be some super tough material

[latent kettle]

well also depends on what the bone is made of too

[jade brook]

or something that doesn't react to most substances

[latent kettle]

with how abundant heavy/precious minerals are on the planet i dont think it would be a crazy assumption that their skeletons are made of a stronger compound

[jade brook]

yeah

[latent kettle]

but also, stronger compounds make the fossilization process longer, which gives more chances for the fossil to be disturbed or broken while its forming

[jade brook]

i guess we will never know

[latent kettle]

we literally wont but its fun to think about

its not a real world mystery we can poke and prod to learn about lol

[jade brook]

true

we can only make theories and assumptions

unless the devs say something lol

[latent kettle]

were also assuming a reality that closely aligns with our own which isnt a given

what with phasegates and warp drives

[jade brook]

yeah there maybe new elements we don't know of in that planet

[latent kettle]

its unlikely since heavier elements are so unstable

even with good conditions the planet is clearly old enough that most of it (if not all of it) would have decayed into smaller ones

[jade brook]

as a normie, i cannot get most of the things you're saying

lol

[latent kettle]

elements are measured by how much stuff is in the nucleus, ie hydrogen being the lightest with just a proton

[jade brook]

guess im learning today

[latent kettle]

but after a certain point they get so heavy that the energy those particles have collectively overpower the energy thats holding them together

and it kinda just pops

thats essentially what radioactive decay is

the radiation that does things are rays/individual particles that get launched out of the atom that decayed

[jade brook]

alright this is where we stop, my weak brain cannot process these complex thoughts 😂

[latent kettle]

individually it wont do a lot (some can do some damage though) but youre really not going to be encountering individual atoms decaying

[prisma merlin]

Yall

It says that Im infected

Like I was barely touching anything that was kharratic

[latent kettle]

ig to reconnect it to what i said earlier, "new" elements may have formed on 4546b (probably also on earth too) but as time passes those unstable atoms rip themselves apart. when you have a bunch of them together like in a deposit, the energy one atom has also interacts with its neighbors. so if you have a clump of like element 130 its going to decay really quick because the energy in it is much more than the energy needed to pop the nuclei
this is what fission is. an unstable isotope is clumped together hard enough so that when one atom pops, it releases rays that hit other atoms and pop them too. if you compress it really hard really fast you can make the reaction happen in fractions of a second, releasing all the energy in that clump at once. also if you didnt know, atoms "popping" (splitting, decaying, reacting, there are plenty of ways for the nucleus to get pulled apart) releases an increadible amount of energy. so a couple pounds of, say, uranium getting compacted really hard essentially brings the sun to earth

ofc you can keep the density lower to make the reaction slower, which still releases a lot of energy, just a much more manageable amount. put that in water and it boils it really quick

and ofc that is how we generate power in general. nearly all forms of electricity generation are just different ways to boil water

fusion does the same, its just really efficient

[jade brook]

i leave for 10 minutes and she already typed a paragraph

[latent kettle]

she :3

[empty moat]

Bro wrote the whole bible

[jade brook]

thats what i said

[latent kettle]

lol

[empty moat]

Nah

You edited the message

[jade brook]

nope

🙂

[obtuse jungle]

I didn’t know much of that. At least, not in this level of detail.

[empty moat]

It says edited

[latent kettle]

i like sharing info :33

[empty moat]

Plus I saw the message when it said "He"

[jade brook]

thats nice

[empty moat]

Anyways

[latent kettle]

and radiation is a really cool subject

[empty moat]

I hope they add Gargantuan Leviathan in Subnautica 2

Like in the ecologically dead zone or something

[jade brook]

and make atleast a few more stuff there

like a biome which is really deep inside the void

[empty moat]

Like the mod they made?

[obtuse jungle]

It’s supposedly a different planet? So I’m not sure the same leviathan would be there, but maybe a similar one.

[latent kettle]

i think its unlikely to show up on 4546b since it clearly would have dominated even sea dragons

[jade brook]

yeah it could swallow them

[latent kettle]

something would have happened (maybe something like the kharra) that wiped them all out

and ofc if it takes place on a different planet the chances of it showing up there are... less than slim lol

[empty moat]

Uhm... Aren't Leviathans kind of inmune to the kharra?

[latent kettle]

not completely impossible considering what the architects were capable of doing and what they def were doing

[empty moat]

They don't seem to show symptoms of the Kharra virus throughout the game

[latent kettle]

depends. they dont all have to produce enzyme 42

[obtuse jungle]

I think that’s because they eat enough of the smaller creatures that have been exposed to the enzyme.

[latent kettle]

it could also be a species from before anything made the enzyme

[prisma merlin]

I love reaper leviathans

[obtuse jungle]

True, the Gargantuan Leviathan was from well before Kharaa.

[latent kettle]

i def think all the contemporary leviathans produce enzyme 42 in some capacity

[empty moat]

The PDA description says the Gargantuan fossil is from 3mya

[jade brook]

maybe the precursors accidentally spread the Kharaa and developed the warpers to control the epidemic

[empty moat]

;-;

[latent kettle]

the warpers were specifically to enforce the quarantine

[jade brook]

yeah ik that part

[empty moat]

Uh... That's canon like wdym maybe

The accidental Khaara pandemic

[jade brook]

oh i didn't know they did it

[latent kettle]

well it breached containment

[empty moat]

Wasn't it because of a base with the Khaara was attacked or smth like that?

[latent kettle]

yeah

either a reaper or sea dragon i think

[empty moat]

I remember it was a sea dragon

It was on the lava zone

[latent kettle]

charged at the research building at an insane speed

no its in lost river

[empty moat]

Oh kay

[obtuse jungle]

Not originally. Originally it was some network error that allowed it through. The facility breach was much later.

[jade brook]

well i guess the leviathans just developed an immunity to it after eating enough Kharaa infected prey

[empty moat]

The Khaara is crazy bruh

[latent kettle]

idk because enzyme 42 very well may be a random enzyme that happens to cure kharra

[empty moat]

It killed hundreds of BILLIONS of precursors

[obtuse jungle]

The theory is the sea emperors (or at least some of them) just happened to produce enzyme 42, so those and the biomes in which they lived survived.

[latent kettle]

its likely they were producing it long before kharra even developed

[empty moat]

Oi btw

Do time capsules spawn in PS5 Subnautica?

Random question

[latent kettle]

and im pretty sure other leviathans being more closely related to the sea emperor means its def plausible they also produce some

[stone root]

Can the cyclops fit through the ||Grand reef lost river ||entrance?

[jade brook]

probably not

[latent kettle]

probably, theyre in the switch version

[empty moat]

Ok thanks

[obtuse jungle]

Yes, but it’s tricky manuvering.

There’s a couple better entrances.

[stone root]

might aswell go back then

[latent kettle]

idr the entrance itself but you probably can use terrain to rotate it

[jade brook]

you can if you want to risk damaging your cyclops

[latent kettle]

also ascend and descend go directly up and down, even if youre at a 90 lol

[latent kettle]

if you take it slow the overshield will prevent any real damage

[empty moat]

Guys help

I forgot where to craft Seamoth upgrades-

[obtuse jungle]

My favorite is ||northeast of the Quarantine Enforcement Platform island, just north of the bulb zone||.

Vehicle Upgrade station.

[latent kettle]

upgrade console

[empty moat]

Oh right, thanks

[latent kettle]

its only buildable on moonpools

[jade brook]

vehicle upgrade console for MK1, modification station for MK2 and MK3

[empty moat]

Where do I find moonpool fragments

[latent kettle]

theyre not too uncommon. personally i like to get them at the gun island and the mushroom forest

[obtuse jungle]

First, you spend ages looking and finally scrape enough together. Then, apparently, they’re ^everywhere^.

[latent kettle]

theyre quite common at the island

[empty moat]

What

What mushroom forest-

The Jellyshroom cave?

[latent kettle]

look around the island

[jade brook]

yeah they are scattered around the map

if you explore, you will definitely find some

[latent kettle]

avoid the far side since theres a reaper there but going counterclockwise its right before the reaper

[prisma merlin]

Me wondering if I should head towards the Aurora knowing there's a creature waiting for me there

[latent kettle]

the reaper?

[prisma merlin]

Yes

[latent kettle]

its on the other side

[empty moat]

I'd reccomend going with an stasis rifle when you get one

[latent kettle]

i wouldnt, you def want that inventory space

maybe a propulsion cannon if you wanna be really thorough

[empty moat]

No wait

[obtuse jungle]

No need for the rifle, just stick close to the side of the Aurora, go in where the hull breaks, and you’ll be fine.

[latent kettle]

yeah

[empty moat]

I forgot creature decoys existed

Those distract reapers

[latent kettle]

you dont even hear it if you stay on the closer side

and thats not just because the aurora is loud lol

[empty moat]

I have a save file where I killed a reaper 😎

[prisma merlin]

The Tragedy of Lifepod 4

[empty moat]

It was with help with an stasis rifle but still-

[latent kettle]

it is possible for it to wander closer to the breach but even then unless youre being really loud/reckless its pretty unlikely to notice you

plus if youre far enough away from your vehicles things just wont attack them

make sure to bring a couple fire extinguishers and a laser cutter though

and a repair tool

[obtuse jungle]

It actually followed me inside the Aurora once. So annoying. I was just standing on the platform watching it swim back and forth, hoping it didn’t see my seamoth.

[latent kettle]

but that should always be in your hotbar

yeah it can get trapped in the skeleton if it goes in there for whatever reason

[empty moat]

What' s the most annoying creature of the game?

[jade brook]

crash fish

[obtuse jungle]

Bleeders.

[empty moat]

For me it's the crashfish and biters

[obtuse jungle]

I’m really not fond of the lava lizards, or bonesharks. They just will not stop attacking my seamoth/prawn suit.

[empty moat]

When I'm in my Seamoth, the most annoying ones are the warpers and crabsquids

[prisma merlin]

Literally Crashfish and biters

[empty moat]

I hate when the crabsquid powers my Seamoth off

[proven shoal]

Ghost leviathans

And warpers

[empty moat]

Every Leviathan (Except Treader and Reefback) is annoying when in the cyclops

Dang

[proven shoal]

And also bonesharks

I hate them

They always try to destroy my seamoth and prawn suit

[empty moat]

In BZ, I've seen Sea Monkeys are annoying

I've not played BZ tho so I can't confirm it

[obtuse jungle]

But they’re so adorable. And once you progress a little in the story, they’re very helpful.

[empty moat]

Is the cuddlefish in BZ?

[obtuse jungle]

No. There’s another pet-type fish, though.

[empty moat]

Which one?

What's it's name?

[obtuse jungle]

The trivalve.

[empty moat]

Ok ngl they look kinga ugly-

[obtuse jungle]

They’re definitely not as, well, cuddly.

Nobody’s making plushies out of ^them^.

[proven shoal]

The trivalve is so friggin chopped yo

[empty moat]

Fr

Cuddlefish's better

[proven shoal]

And its name doesnt fit

[empty moat]

I think it's just because it has three eyes or smth like that

[proven shoal]

When someone says "trivalve" would you think of a fish or some machinery thing

[empty moat]

Like the "Tri" part

Gosh

I was panicking

I couldn't find my Seamoth and I was running out of oxygen

[obtuse jungle]

I’ll do that and then I find out it was directly above me the whole time.

[empty moat]

That's what happened to me 5 secs ago

Ah dang

[latent kettle]

both, because three valves could be referring to a machine or a group of aquatic species

not necessarily fish

[empty moat]

I just ran out of oxygen while searching for fragments to scan

[median valve]

Oh I've seen videos with mods that have those. I keep coming across bone fragments all throughout the river and it clicked that they were all part of the same animal.

[latent kettle]

do you have a scanner room

theyre not all of the same, there are like 3 or 4 scannable skulls

[median valve]

Thats a SMALL skull?!

[latent kettle]

yeah

theyre leviathans lol

[empty moat]

That's pretty much why they're called Leviathans

[latent kettle]

(clams and such are bivalves)

[median valve]

There's leviathan's and then there's things that are big enough to bully Godzilla

[latent kettle]

godzilla is a leviathan

[empty moat]

.

What

[stone root]

So... bigger leviathans?

[latent kettle]

yeah leviathan isnt a specific size class

[empty moat]

Leviathan Class Leviathan

[stone root]

then what is it

[latent kettle]

its essentially a category for "we ran out of size categories wtf is this"

[median valve]

Godzilla is a byproduct of nuclear radiation and a metaphor for the Japanese peoples hardships post world war II.
But hey...
"BIG SEA MONSTER!!"

[median valve]

"there's always a bigger fish" class

[latent kettle]

although it looks like godzilla, due to international copyright law, it isnt

[stone root]

honestly i'd freak out if i found out there were things bigger than godzilla

[latent kettle]

space fauna are theoretically possible

theyd be huge

[empty moat]

The sea is bigger than godzilla

[stone root]

Everything is theroetically possible, considering the size of the universe

[median valve]

Also just ..circle back on something here did you say that's a Juvenile ghost leviathan near the skull? So the thing that was attacking me for 20 minutes straight before I killed it and was taking 15 health points out of my prawn per attack.... That was a kid?

[latent kettle]

not everything

[stone root]

sand found in desert

[empty moat]

Huh

[latent kettle]

did you scan it

[stone root]

oh yeah there are adults ones which can theoretically grow in size infinitelly

[latent kettle]

(also id recommend getting the chassis hardening upgrade)

[empty moat]

Lesgooo I found a degasi crew manifest

[stone root]

you said that the sea was bigger than godzilla, as if godzilla as an entity could have possibly been bigger than any sea

[empty moat]

Oh ok

[stone root]

That statement was a very obvious one

[median valve]

I tried to say this an hour ago but got muted because this group has ridiculous rules regarding what we are allowed to say but with these big eel things attacking me constantly as well as the Giant crab spider things I have like 15 seconds to get out of my prawn to repair it before I'm attacked so I'm not scanning anything. Also doesn't it not really matter scanning dangerous wildlife? Like isn't the only stuff worth scanning stuff that can be used for resources like plants or smaller fish?

[latent kettle]

did you know theres more hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water than there are stars in the solar system

[stone root]

I mean, unless you want fun facts or stuff like that, scanning maybe really aint for ya.
Also, tip regarding the continuous attacks
Stasis rifle + thermoblade

[median valve]

I had two of those on my Prawn but someone in here last night told me they did nothing.

[stone root]

Stasis is also really good if u want to scan stuff

that is alive, by the way

[latent kettle]

only frags are "worth" scanning in that scanning other things wont directly give you something

[obtuse jungle]

It’s interesting to scan the large stuff. I forget if its here or in BZ but there’s an entry that says something like “Congratulations on getting close enough to scan this thing and living.”

[latent kettle]

and yeah stasis rifle is a life saver for scanning or dealing damage

[median valve]

Maybe like assassin's Creed or something but in this game not so much I guess if I really wanted to know something I could just look it up on the wiki or something. I'm assuming this game has a wiki. Just about everything does.

[empty moat]

Its the reaper leviathan PDA description that says that

[latent kettle]

they probably meant that they dont stack

[median valve]

I am just awful with the stasis rifle for the life of me you could put a reaper 15 ft in front of me and I would still miss.

[obtuse jungle]

Why jump outside of the game when this, of all games, has such comprehensive in-game lore?

[stone root]

Ofcourse the game has a wiki it's literally popular enough to get a 2nd part.
But... why would you wanna go to the wiki?
Part of the experience of sn is scanning crap

[empty moat]

It's like using Xray on minecraft for example

[stone root]

Don't worry it's not about you, it's about every reaper's HORRENDOUS hitboxes that are the problem
If u really do wanna freeze em, wait for them to charge at you and then aim for the head

[latent kettle]

none of the vehicle upgrades stack, which makes the depth modules description weird because it specifies that it doesnt

[scenic oriole]

If you mean hull reinforcement upgrade, it only reduces collision damage, and thus it's totally useless in prawn.

[empty moat]

Like, the game's whole point is to mine-

[latent kettle]

really

[stone root]

I really don't think it's weird becuase i woulda 100% tried stacking them had it not said that

[latent kettle]

well it implies that other ones do

[scenic oriole]

Hull reinforcement stacks: first reduces collision damage to 50%. Second 25% and so on

[latent kettle]

whack

[stone root]

yeah he prolly meant they don't stack darn it

[median valve]

Because if I'm going to read about something and learn about it I would really prefer to do it in different setting like on my desktop or my phone. I'd rather not have to try and read the text on my couch squinting at my TV from 6 ft away.

[stone root]

I will assume getting anything past the first 2 is simply not worth it

[scenic oriole]

Sometimes scanning aggressive creatures can tell ways to avoid them. Or for example scanning a stalker gives a hint about teeth used for emaneled glass

[obtuse jungle]

Fair enough. I forget not everyone’s playing on a computer.

[stone root]

Well, you do you. It's a singleplayer game, after all

[scenic oriole]

Getting the first is not worth it unless you're very bad seamoth driver...

[latent kettle]

yeah

[stone root]

Oh yeah also this. never once did i make a hull reinforcement for ANYTHING

not even for prawn when going against reapers lmao

[latent kettle]

even being a bad seamoth pilot it still has enough hull to bounce off a bunch of walls before you need to repair

[median valve]

I'll probably read a lot about this game after I'm done playing it but I feel like if I start digging in now I'm going to spoil some stuff for myself like the ending has already been spoiled because I dug a little too deep on YouTube

[latent kettle]

theres a point where i stop bothering to avoid hitting things because 1 its funny and 2 it costs nothing to repair

[empty moat]

Yo lets go

[stone root]

I mean if you don't go past the fishes in your area you really won't spoil much
If you really want to avoid it, then try not to read any PDA entries about facilities you did not discover yet

[latent kettle]

or read anything on those facilities

[empty moat]

I found moonpool fragments and vehicle upgrade console data in the same wreckage

[latent kettle]

yeah thats one of the best wrecks

[stone root]

pretty much lol, but at one or 2 of these PDA entries the game straight up tells you about the depths and names of the facilities so it doesn't really matter

[latent kettle]

and its right next to a lifepod

[empty moat]

I found it in the wreck in the dark zone

[stone root]

Which one, gotta know for my future playthru

[empty moat]

Idk the name of the zone

The one with stone pillars

[latent kettle]

keen i believe

[empty moat]

Oh yeah

[latent kettle]

theres 2 wrecks right next to each other and theyre full of really good scans

[empty moat]

Kinda forgot the main reason i was going there is i was goin to keen's lifepod

[obtuse jungle]

I hate that that one rhymes “Officer Keen in LifePod 19” is stuck in my head ^forever^.

[stone root]

Oh yeah i remember going that deep for keen, literally held on to my chair as if i was in the seamoth driving

[latent kettle]

lol

tbf keen and yu are usually the first times you go that deep

especially for first playthroughs

[median valve]

Yeah I had to find it but this is why I am not capable of skillfully using the stasis rifle.

[latent kettle]

yeah it takes practice

[stone root]

I AM on my first playthru lol, i recently got to the ||ILZ||, and even got the|| ion batteries||

[empty moat]

Oh It's not really that dark

It's just I went on nighttime

[latent kettle]

i said usually lol

ofc everyone is going to play different but those 2 lifepods are designed to be stepping stones to finding the deep parts

[stone root]

This aint even a hitbox issue you just suck at shooting stasis
(pro tip, shoot smaller shots first, and when one hits it will buy you time to charge up for a big shot😏 )

[median valve]

"you just suck"
YOU THINK?!

[stone root]

The way you described it it sounded like you just didn't know the body gore that is called leviathan hitboxes

[latent kettle]

with keen being right next to an upgrade console databox thats out in the open and yu having a cyclops depth module databox

[median valve]

Also by the way I learned the hard way after getting body slammed into a rock by Kevin, that smaller shocks really don't do nothing on Bigguns like that dude.

[median valve]

Yeah that's when I started using a prawn and letting them pick me up so I could punch them in the face.

[latent kettle]

yeah the bigger it is the less its affected by the stasis rifle

[stone root]

I Recommend getting the drill arms if you're in that spirit
I assume you know where are the wrecks that contain it located

[latent kettle]

(it says so in the pda entry too!)

[stone root]

Protip: charged reaper stasis shot lasts about 20-25 seconds

[latent kettle]

THANK you someone gets the drill arm combat

[median valve]

Oh I already have it I've been using it to mine the Lost River but I don't like using it for a fight because it actually has lower damage than the typical hand and also has a harder time connecting while you're moving. I used it against Samantha while she was dragging me around the plateaus and shallows and it took me a solid 15 minutes to get her.

https://youtu.be/Si_7bhzFkN4?si=4zHm6hDBwP_sbWQQ

[latent kettle]

it def does not have a harder time connecting lmao

[median valve]

Yeah that's when she followed me back and I had to get her away from my base

[stone root]

that is about 40 knife cuts, with the reaper being able to take around 125
(considering that the knife in question is a thermoblade)

[median valve]

Also I was humming the Pacific rim theme the entire fight so I had to make a video of it 🤣

[median valve]

It definitely does but okay

[stone root]

I mean, it's more of a DPS thing, the arms are more of a burst damage

think of it as a SMG versus a shotgun

[prisma merlin]

Lifepod 6 was such a dumb death

[median valve]

Well when you're getting rag dolled around in a reaper's mouth it's sort of hard to make it connect whereas A Punch anywhere on the reaper's face or neck is going to give you damage.

[stone root]

You do you

[median valve]

In their defense, neither of them had any actual survival skills and only one of them had common sense.

[latent kettle]

6 was the civilian one right

[stone root]

That conversation is a very out of the blue
That's the one with the flare right?

Why would you wave a flare INSIDE the lifepod????

[obtuse jungle]

“That’s not a rescue flare!” What other types of flares are there?

[prisma merlin]

EXACTLY LIKE..

[latent kettle]

there are lots of different kinds of flares but its not really relevant in that situation

[stone root]

Flares used in millitary to mark POIs

[prisma merlin]

Anyways for the Lifepods that landed in the void

[latent kettle]

i dont think the void is like

[median valve]

You know I never thought about that but it seems like there would be different types of flares depending on what you need. Like something for the ocean would have to be able to burn brightly underwater whereas a typical road flare would probably not be the same or at least a smaller version maybe

[stone root]

The only justification would be if they lit it in the pod and planned to get out in a moment, but like that's not enough time to set it aflame

[median valve]

They have some big bioluminescent danger noodles to keep them company

[obtuse jungle]

Can’t the military just use beacons like everyone else? 🙂

[stone root]

because we're talking about flares

the conversation demands the millitary to use flares

[latent kettle]

do you really want a network connected map of strategic information

[stone root]

Oh yeah also this

[obtuse jungle]

Perhaps so, but since we only see one type of flare in-game, and it’s specifically called a rescue flare (isn’t it?) her comment always struck me as odd.

[stone root]

Forget those, what about the ones landing under the aurora? even less survival chances
If the crash didn't get you, the radiation/explosion for sure did

[prisma merlin]

Weren't those like an instant kill

[latent kettle]

irl militaries still use mundane/"out of date" strategies and tools because they just dont have the vulnerability of being online

[median valve]

I don't know that dude might have "miscalculated" before he had to worry about radiation

[prisma merlin]

Don't do Lifepod 4 like that

[stone root]

Wait, it was mentioned that it WASN'T a rescue flare in the radio message or is my memory fading?

[stone root]

You really can't calculate lifepod landings

[latent kettle]

im pretty sure the item is just called flare

[stone root]

maybe you landed next to it, withing an edge of death
consider the reapers, explosion and radiation

[prisma merlin]

Lifepod 4 core:

[median valve]

Hey if you look at it from a certain point of view he probably got the best death out of his three options.
Option one. Slim jim for a reaper.
Option two. Rapid radiation sickness to the point where your body is pretty much falling off of itself.
Option three. Make it to the Aurora and then it blows up with you on it while you're still intensely sick from how close you are to the ship.
Slim jim sounds good with those options.

[latent kettle]

yeah wait why did they get a seaglide wtf

[stone root]

Honestly that guy and keen had the best shot at surviving, had they not such crappy lifepod landings

[obtuse jungle]

You’re right, thats what she said, but they’re called “Emergency flares” in the lifepod description. It’s not a huge thing, and I’m the only one that found it weird, apparently.

[prisma merlin]

TRUE

also Lifepod 2 could've survived if they were in the safe shallows like us

Yu had quick thinking

[stone root]

Omg yeah, some lifepod had an "emergency seaglied" not fair why didn't get one?

[latent kettle]

do the lifepods just have varying equipment stocked??

[prisma merlin]

So let's talk about Lifepod 3..

In the vines

[latent kettle]

i mean yu is the chief technical officer lol

[stone root]

Literally, and why do some have data boxes? where do those come from?

[obtuse jungle]

But bad decision later on to leave the rendezvous for the Aurora.

[prisma merlin]

Exactlt

Yu died from a reaper iirc

[stone root]

and keen probably did too, but way later

or did he make it back to the rendezvous?

[latent kettle]

pretty sure the voice log is keens

[prisma merlin]

Lifepod 7 was such a mess

[obtuse jungle]

He always sounded far too calm in his last message for someone presumably chomped. I’m not sure what happened to him.

[prisma merlin]

The fabricator broke

[stone root]

cause like, we find his PDA at the rendezvous, and you'd have to be present for it to record your voice

[latent kettle]

but we got markiplier so its all good

[latent kettle]

not necessarily, doesnt it say its a recieved log

its been a minute since ive read the entries

[median valve]

I built my base like 10 ft from there lol actually ended up being a pretty good spot with the drop off to the underwater Islands being right there

I guess the stalkers would have got them because there are a lot of them around that area but they really were not that far down from the surface

[prisma merlin]

I'm still scared of the stalker

[latent kettle]

they cant bite for crap lmao

[obtuse jungle]

With the side exploded out like it is, I assumed the warpers got them.

[prisma merlin]

So why would a warper be in vines

[latent kettle]

vacation

[median valve]

I was terrified of stalkers at first and now I kind of just bully them. I think I'm realizing I'm more afraid of the big open dark spaces rather than the animals in them
Thassalophobia be like

[prisma merlin]

How did they even build a seaglide

Without the fragments, or did they just have it

[obtuse jungle]

I think the warpers are designed to go wherever there’s potential infection? obviously, for gameplay reasons, warpers can’t come to the shallows/kelp forest.

[latent kettle]

they did say emergency seaglide

[prisma merlin]

Ohh

[scenic oriole]

Iirc the radio call or pda mentions emergency seaglide, which implies they had it in their pod🤷‍♂️

[latent kettle]

oh yeah the warpers did say they were in hunting mode

[prisma merlin]

Makes a lot more sense

Do you guys go out even if its nighttime in your first hours of playing subnautica

[latent kettle]

also alterras pdas are really really bad at storing information with how much is corrupted/lost. just because rileys pda didnt have a recipe doesnt mean theirs didnt

[obtuse jungle]

The only reason Ryley wasn’t shish-kebabed while unconscious is because his radio was broken.

[empty moat]

Yeah

[scenic oriole]

Many players don't...but for example catching edible fish is easier at night since they are more passive

[latent kettle]

when i realized the day night cycle didnt affect the creatures the only problem i had to overcome was the dark

[obtuse jungle]

Totally, but just where the bioluminescence was bright.

[latent kettle]

which i already needed to overcome to go through caves

[prisma merlin]

Nighttime makes the game

[latent kettle]

flashlights cheap though

[prisma merlin]

Feel more unsafe and horroric

[latent kettle]

yeah night tends to do that lol

[obtuse jungle]

How many of you used the flares as torches until you could make a flashlight?

[latent kettle]

pff

[scenic oriole]

Day night cycle affects some creatures...but mostly herbivores; predators act the same day or night

[prisma merlin]

Oh I didn't use any flares

[latent kettle]

i tried a flare once (in the pod lmao) and immediately put them back in the box forever

[scenic oriole]

But it would be kinda fun if some predators would be more active at night (as the game description tells)...

[prisma merlin]

Whats your least favorite leviathan in subnautica

[empty moat]

Reefback

[latent kettle]

mechanically, reefback

[obtuse jungle]

Oddly, I kinda like the warmer light they cast over the cold flashlight. Plus it feels like dungeon-crawling, when you’re in the caves.

[latent kettle]

yeah i like to be able to see lol

[empty moat]

Reefbacks only utility is the ores that you can get from it's barnacles

[latent kettle]

i like not being blinded

[prisma merlin]

I dislike the sea dragon

[latent kettle]

they also constantly get in the way

[prisma merlin]

Just no🤢

[empty moat]

Yeah

[obtuse jungle]

They are bright, but when you’re moving they’re behind you.

[latent kettle]

yeah sea dragon is the most annoying for its attacks

[empty moat]

I was driving my cyclops (in another save file) and I bumped into a reefback twice

[latent kettle]

and its obsession with the cyclops too

i sat with the engine off and it poking its head model into the cyclops for like 5 minutes at one point

like leave me alone

[empty moat]

Oi

[obtuse jungle]

I like building in the grassy plateaus because I find the reefback calls soothing.

[empty moat]

Where can i find lots of sandstone

[obtuse jungle]

Lower kelp, grassy plateaus.

[latent kettle]

generally there arent particular locations that outcrops are particular to, usually its depths you want to look for

[empty moat]

What depth then?

[latent kettle]

ive found sandstone likes ~100 m

[empty moat]

Ok ty

[latent kettle]

lots of the edges to the red grass areas have a good amount of sandstone

[obtuse jungle]

Tip: there’s a bunch near the two volcanos in the safe shallows.

Tucked in alcoves and connecting tunnels.

[latent kettle]

yeah there are places it can be that are above 100m but its more a rule of thumb

[empty moat]

Oh nvm

[latent kettle]

shale shows up at around 200-250

[empty moat]

I found some lead in the lifepod storage

[latent kettle]

after that idrk what the next common depth for limestone is

[empty moat]

It kinda spawns everywhere

[latent kettle]

less so in other outcrops depths

[empty moat]

NOOOOO

[latent kettle]

caps probably

[empty moat]

A stalker just ate a hoverfish-

[latent kettle]

yeah they do that

[empty moat]

😭

Yea ik

It's just hoverfishes are cute

[latent kettle]

nom

[empty moat]

Should I build my base on the safe shallows or somewhere else?

[heavy barn]

I'm swimming in a big reef and there's a ghostly leviathan swimming around... why?

[empty moat]

Why not?

Ghost leviathans are free to swin anywhere they want

[heavy barn]

Do they spawn here? Or is he from the dead zone?

[empty moat]

Ok jk

idk

[heavy barn]

but they seem to never leave their habitat, ghostly leviathans

[empty moat]

Yea ik I was jk vro

[heavy barn]

If you kill him, he won't appear again, will he?

[empty moat]

Idk bro

I dont think so

Where should I build my base guys

[proven shoal]

Y'all sleeping on prawn suit propulsion arm

[pliant mesa]

dunes

[heavy barn]

mountains

[empty moat]

Haha

Funne

[heavy barn]

It turns out there are two ghostly leviathans swimming in a large reef. He killed two of them.

[empty moat]

Who is "He"

[proven shoal]

The incredible gassy

[empty moat]

Oh

Thought he was talkin' in third person

[stone root]

Serious answer, in the Northeast section of grassy plateaus near the mushroom biome and the northern blood kelp, also near the underwater mountains

[empty moat]

Ok ty

[proven shoal]

I live there

[stone root]

There's a reason we call him "He" and it isn't religious

[heavy barn]

I use a translator, sorry

[stone root]

Me too lmao

[stone root]

Give me a second i'll send you the exact location image

[heavy barn]

I live right there now

[proven shoal]

I also live there

Ts my base

[empty moat]

Holy moly

[stone root]

Here's the specific image

[empty moat]

Now that's dark

[stone root]

exactly where i live

[proven shoal]

That's near my base

[proven shoal]

Cuz it's near the blood kelp

[stone root]

...If you live near where i live... how are you getting jumped by reapers????

[proven shoal]

I moved gng

[stone root]

thanks god

[proven shoal]

Don't you remember

Now i live right about here

[stone root]

I only remember you sending a screenshot of a reaper being stuck in your moonpool every 10 minutes

[proven shoal]

He always got stuck

[stone root]

And it was 0% his fault

[proven shoal]

100% his fault

He was always near my base

And wouldnt leave

[stone root]

Have you even took into CONSIDERATION that maybe you were near HIS base???

[proven shoal]

no

[stone root]

Then you can't really complain ig

[proven shoal]

🤔

[glossy sun]

Is it impossible to get the septic tank now?

[stone root]

the what

[empty moat]

Oooh

The glass tank with the eye?

Jack's septic tank?

[solemn glade]

Could I build a base in ||lost river|| with just prawn and drill arm due to the deposits in ||LR|| ?

[empty moat]

Probably yes

[latent kettle]

you could

all you truly need is a moonpool and a scanner room

[somber pier]

just build it near heat source and use thermal reactor

[latent kettle]

or a nuclear if youre lazy

[somber pier]

nuclear would be more work wdym lazy? xD

[latent kettle]

thermals are weird in how they figure out how much power to give

i had one sitting on literal lava and it was like half

[scenic oriole]

Need to bring lubricant or creepvine seed clusters to build moonpool down there

[scenic oriole]

It's simply based on the temperature...the temperature on lava could be weird...

[latent kettle]

yeah i always carry 2 creepseeds and blood oils as well as 8 acid/deepshroom seeds

idk i couldnt get a decent output on a heatspot either

i wound up with 3 practically sitting on each other

idk nuclear is really easy to set up and takes very little maintenance

[empty moat]

Where do I get Nuclear reactor fragments

To scan em

[latent kettle]

ok yeah thats the annoying part

[scenic oriole]

Just check the temperature on the panel in thermal plant and compare to this chart
#subnautica-chat message

[solemn glade]

Mountains.

[empty moat]

Where's the mountains

[scenic oriole]

Blood kelp trench, mountains, possible slots also near jellyshroom cave degasi base

[latent kettle]

have you been to the mushroom cave degasi base

[empty moat]

Yea

[latent kettle]

its rare theres 3 there

[empty moat]

k ty

[solemn glade]

There’s like 2 ||islands||. One of them is the mountain one, in the mountain biome, go to that|| island|| and then go down the right of it

[latent kettle]

theres a wreck off to the right and down from the gun island dock

its got plenty, as well as some other things

i had a playthrough where there were literally no fragments in the normal spots and i dont do well at finding the scattered ones

[latent kettle]

i felt like iwas going insane because all my previous ones i got most of the scans at the degasi base and there were none there

[scenic oriole]

The jellyshroom degasi base is a bit problematic, since the fragments near it can be nuclear reactor, thermal plant, moonpool, modification station, power cell charger or stasis rifle (not sure if I remembered all options)...so many options that it's rare to get a full blueprint from there

[latent kettle]

im pretty sure the stasis rifle is a guaranteed, theyre always in the boxes

[winged oasis]

why is there a red eyeye there

[latent kettle]

oh fish dont care about the water wall

[scenic oriole]

Even that is not quaranteed

[latent kettle]

not that theyre in the boxes, that they always are

i may just have weird luck

[winged oasis]

he knows what I've done to his family

[latent kettle]

but i dont think the rifle fragments can replace the other ones on the ground if it is random

[latent kettle]

for this one pretty much all of them were at the gun island wreck

[scenic oriole]

Well yes, they might use different slots, but still doesn't mean it's quaranteed to find rifle fragments in there

[latent kettle]

i wasnt confident in the statement

[median valve]

Hey what would be some good scanner room locations for outposts? I was about to build one in the Lost River but what are some other good spots with harder to find materials?

[latent kettle]

im going off my experience

imo scanner rooms are nice to just have wherever
the upper hot area is really good because of all the nodes

[empty moat]

Well dang it

[latent kettle]

be sure to avoid the center of the room though because the sea dragon will torment you

[empty moat]

I died

[latent kettle]

hardcore?

[empty moat]

Nah

[latent kettle]

good lol

i had a hardcore die in said upper hot area when a warper did like 3 hits in one

[last barn]

hello

[empty moat]

'sup

[last barn]

apperently I did a link when I didnt do a link? wat

have to type again... just curious is there a place to put art? I drew my own version of the reaper Levithan

[empty moat]

DIED AGAIN BRUH

God damn it

[latent kettle]

gifs are links if theyre not sent as files specifically

[scenic oriole]

Maybe here:

[empty moat]

I got stuck in one of the ladders when i was low on oxygen-

[latent kettle]

how much do you have max

[empty moat]

Not much

like 135

[latent kettle]

do you have an upgrade station

[scenic oriole]

(Your wording ||the sea dragon implies for only one...||)

[latent kettle]

oh but you need to find the thing

[last barn]

thanks, tbh I be doing a univeristy thing and my project is to make a element from a game in my own image for my project

[latent kettle]

yeah the one that hangs out around the thermal plant

or is there a second on the other side

ig i really only stay to the one side

with the big hole

[glossy sun]

Yes

[empty moat]

I think it's no longer obtainable

[glossy sun]

[last barn]

anywho i go to the art room

[latent kettle]

a lot of the joke/unserious stuff was removed a long time ago, probably around 1.0

i only started a year or so ago so i dont really know

[glossy sun]

The markaplier bobble is still here

[latent kettle]

yeah

[empty moat]

It's part of the lore kinda

From the guy whose fabricator was failing

And instead of actual gear it was crafting toys

[latent kettle]

oh yeah doesnt the pda imply markiplier is a mistake 😭

[empty moat]

What

[latent kettle]

i havent reread that one

[empty moat]

What lifepod no. was it?

[latent kettle]

gah fandom

idr the lifepod number like ever

i know what youre talking about ive found it in game

7

[empty moat]

Lifepod no.7?

[latent kettle]

yeah

i cant get the damn pda entry

hold on ig im opening the game to look

[glossy sun]

How do I scan the ||Sea emperor||

[empty moat]

With the scanner

duh

Haha im so funny-

[latent kettle]

you cant before it takes a nap

[glossy sun]

-___-

[latent kettle]

i think

[empty moat]

what

[glossy sun]

Yea, but when does it take nap

[empty moat]

wdym nap

does it sleep?

[latent kettle]

youll be able to scan it once you finish everything for it

[empty moat]

huh

[acoustic glen]

is the message the PDA gives when you finish the game a set-in-stone message? or is it dynamic and calculates based off what you gather in the game

[latent kettle]

its static

[glossy sun]

It's an emoticon

[acoustic glen]

damn, that'd be cool if it went based off what you actually grabbed ingame

[glossy sun]

Have you beat the game

[empty moat]

Not really

[latent kettle]

its large enough though so it theoretically could be applicable to pretty much most saves

[glossy sun]

K, so nvm

[fresh torrent]

Go behind Aurora you will find a lot of materials

[latent kettle]

lmao

[acoustic glen]

we'll assume it's in USD for simplicity, but 1T USD is 1/37th the current US national debt

[glossy sun]

Don't you mean, go behind the aurora and I'll find a snak

[acoustic glen]

that is a lot of money for what is primarily unknown resources or titanium

[fresh torrent]

Just Swim to Aurora

[empty moat]

I mean

[fresh torrent]

My little pet will help yoı

[latent kettle]

there is the line when you first get a diamond

[empty moat]

Theres a lifepod behind the aurora, you might find somethin useful in that lifepod

[latent kettle]

it implies diamonds have notable value (which is funny)

oh what how do i not have the bobble on my primary save

[acoustic glen]

iirc, when you grab a diamond the PDA reminds you that "anything you use while on this planet is property of the Altera corporation"

[latent kettle]

any materials you gather are propety of alterra and you will be liable to reimburse the full market value

[empty moat]

How can a company even own a planet-

[acoustic glen]

they own the resources you use

even though they are doing nothing to rescue you, as they don't even know you're alive

that hit to the head, lore wise, probably killed Rileys speach centre, meaning he cannot talk

[empty moat]

Isn't Alterra kind of an evil corporation?

[latent kettle]

not specifically evil

[empty moat]

Even if they knew you were alive, they wouldn't do anything to rescue you

[acoustic glen]

well they can't

[latent kettle]

they dont know about the enforcement platform

[thorn spoke]

They don't. It's more likely that the Alterra crew signed documents that included them not being allowed to keep anything they find, probably because they were more of a research group

[tall geyser]

Aluminum Oxide

[latent kettle]

or even about the kharaa

[acoustic glen]

if they know their ship for shot down, by an unknown source, and have no way of checking on if they can land safely, they wouldn't waste money trying

[tall geyser]

Aka a Ruby
(Al2O3)

[empty moat]

Huh

[latent kettle]

research group? the aurora was going to start a phasegate wasnt it

[empty moat]

Bruh wanted to show off what he learned in chemistry class

[tall geyser]

wait sapphires are also Al2O3
Are Rubies and Sapphires the same mineral?

[latent kettle]

it just had an auxiliary mission to take a look at where the degasi went

[thorn spoke]

Ah yeah, something like that. My point is, their mission didn't include collecting resources

[acoustic glen]

yes, but different formation structures, which is how they get their hues

[tall geyser]

And the answer is everywhere

[latent kettle]

they didnt know that

[tall geyser]

ik

[latent kettle]

all they knew was they disappeared

[acoustic glen]

this, according to ChatGPT is the list you need to 100% efficiently get the neptune, cure the kharaa and escape

[tall geyser]

"Where'd your ship go?"
"Um... Yes."

[latent kettle]

they did dismantle it for the stuff to make the bases

at least the first ones

[tall geyser]

Some of the ship

[thorn spoke]

I have a feeling this is not the most efficient completion, but rather the one that requires the least resources to gather

[tall geyser]

I mean there's chunks in basically every biome

[acoustic glen]

which, by definition, is the most efficient completion resource wise

[tall geyser]

Minus underground ones obviously

[acoustic glen]

speed wise it's a way longer list

[latent kettle]

you mean the wrecks? those are absolutely from the aurora

[empty moat]

Help

I was exploring and I just heard a warper behind me-

[latent kettle]

if you keep moving theyre not a very good shot

[empty moat]

0_0

[acoustic glen]

the wrecks are aurora, ||degasi||, and the ||mercury||, the sunbeam gets obliterated and any surviving wreckage falls into the void or into an area we cannot access

[forest zealot]

Slimed

[empty moat]

I JUST GOT THE LINE THAT SAYS "Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"

[tall geyser]

Imagine we crashed right on top of the remaining pieces of the Degasi

[empty moat]

Am I cooked?

[unique rune]

allat titanium is used for the ship

[latent kettle]

there are no ship bits from the degasi

[acoustic glen]

now we can assume modern market price, and anything foreign we'll take the current price of rhodium (one of the most valuable metals on earth right now), and double it's price, that still only comes out to $14,584,551 USD

[forest zealot]

Keep going that way its just trying to acare you

[thorn spoke]

Using the least resources ≠ the most efficient way to beat the game

[acoustic glen]

that also gets completely obliterated by the QEP?

[latent kettle]

and the ||mercury|| is on the other side of the planet lmao

[acoustic glen]

that means you're in the void zone

just back up and you should be fine

[forest zealot]

No it dont

[unique rune]

dunes not void

[forest zealot]

Dunes

[acoustic glen]

yea, it does, it means you are reaching the craters edge/dunes

[unique rune]

dunes

[forest zealot]

Void has its own messgae

[unique rune]

craters edge tells you its an ecological dead zone

[forest zealot]

Yeah

[acoustic glen]

ah, mb

[unique rune]

i saw that lol\

[forest zealot]

I didnt even delete it

[acoustic glen]

and the mods/admins can too

[pliant mesa]

@forest zealot the best area

[acoustic glen]

but this is if you only grab what you need to complete the game, nothing more

[unique rune]

titanium dont add up bro

[acoustic glen]

how

[unique rune]

44 throughout the entire run?

[proven shoal]

[pliant mesa]

hunter is the best slime btw

[forest zealot]

Yes

[pliant mesa]

factually

[unique rune]

thats like just the neptune

[acoustic glen]

yea, that's to craft only the nessicary stuff to actually beat the game, though i don't htink it counted the cyclops for the shield upgrade needed

[empty moat]

I think ChatGPT didn't count the titanium required to do ingots

[forest zealot]

Hunter slime my 2nd favorite to honey slime

[unique rune]

it didnt count anything i think wtf are these values

[empty moat]

@forest zealot help

[pliant mesa]

honey slime is boring ngl

[empty moat]

I cant progress in the grey labyrinth

[forest zealot]

wat

[forest zealot]

havent played 2 yet

[latent kettle]

youre also not considering that its a considerable time in the future, credits are not usd, and the context of a spacefaring corporate civilization

[empty moat]

Oh

[acoustic glen]

here's a better count of everything

[acoustic glen]

we're assuming such, it's easier for our brains to comprehend

[unique rune]

this seems more like it

[forest zealot]

moss blanket is best cuz it got all my favorites

[empty moat]

Best one is saber slime

[latent kettle]

its not even close to a fair comparison

[acoustic glen]

that's bc it's a subnautica calculator, and all i added was the full neptune and the enzymes

[pliant mesa]

hear me out...

[empty moat]

huh

[pliant mesa]

hunter saber largo

[empty moat]

No

[pliant mesa]

😢

[empty moat]

No wait yes

[pliant mesa]

🙂

[empty moat]

No way

[forest zealot]

hunter hunter largo

[empty moat]

I looked up the largo

[acoustic glen]

well human brains can't physically comprehend the passage of time and the possible effects it could have, so this currently is our best bet, credits are 50/50 the currency used by the nation/federation, or just a company exclusive currency like Canadian Tire dollars, or Kohls Cash

[pliant mesa]

😲

[forest zealot]

I saw that

I read it all

[empty moat]

And they made a fursona for that largo

[forest zealot]

Im a very fast reader

[latent kettle]

but were talking about the assessment of a trillion credits

[pliant mesa]

peak

[forest zealot]

Tabby slime is so tuff

[empty moat]

Ngl its kind of cool

[acoustic glen]

yea, but that could also be assuming we actually play the game and don't speedrun it to the point of perfect optimization

[unique rune]

human brains can absolutely comprehend allat

[forest zealot]

Subnautica and slime rancher are my 2 favorite games

[unique rune]

youre making wrong points but i get what you are trying to get across

[latent kettle]

but theres no way to compare a min% since we dont know how it was evaluated

at all

[unique rune]

if you get the value in USD then compare with credits you can see conversionrate between them

[empty moat]

What

[latent kettle]

sure but how are you going to do that

[forest zealot]

67 dollars

[empty moat]

Is there a confirmed value for credits-

[forest zealot]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[empty moat]

Hahah 67

Me say 67

[unique rune]

no but you can do it logically like that guy is trying

[empty moat]

Me funny

[forest zealot]

Me funny

[pliant mesa]

😶

judgement

[latent kettle]

what im trying to say is those values are not going to be anywhere close to similar to the real world

[acoustic glen]

people on steam assume (very much the word carrying the whole argument) is 1000credits = US$1

[empty moat]

Guys, how does gamma affect the game

[latent kettle]

how would they even guess a thousand lol

[acoustic glen]

idk, inflations perhaps?

[unique rune]

by guessing

[forest zealot]

Wdym

[latent kettle]

other than a headcannon

[acoustic glen]

m,aybe it's a currency similar to what stores use like CT money or Kohls Cash

[empty moat]

In the graphics section in settings

[unique rune]

it sounds close enough theres no other proof

[acoustic glen]

we don't know

[forest zealot]

I think its lighting

look it up cause ik its something with lighting

[acoustic glen]

it changes your games exposure brightness, the lower it is, the deeper the colour but less you see, the higher it is, the brighter and closer to white it is

[forest zealot]

Yeah

[unique rune]

brightness

[forest zealot]

What he said

[empty moat]

HOLY MOLY

[acoustic glen]

idk the exact defenition for gamma in games htough

[forest zealot]

gamarama

[empty moat]

I changed from high framerate to high quality and its beautiful-

But veined nettles are still flat pngs so uh-

[acoustic glen]

but like, we also don't know what inflation rates are at that period, nor do we know how many planets that are rich in these minerals the Alterra corporations has market and mineral access to

[forest zealot]

Alterra

More like

[latent kettle]

thats what im trying to say

[forest zealot]

Farterra

[latent kettle]

the values on the various things are also not going to be a simple extrapolation based on inflation or conversion rate

[quick hawk]

wattle more like farttle

[latent kettle]

the available resources are vastly different in this context

[forest zealot]

🫩

[empty moat]

Here comes Alterra's defensor to death

[quick hawk]

huh

[acoustic glen]

but all we can do, is assume things based on current markets, for all we know, in the sub universe, the world has become financially stable to where inflation = 0% and market value is purely based on labour, transport, and production costs with a little extra to profit, or we can guess it's way worse than now, or it's a socialist utopia, we'll never truely know unless Sub2 gives us more detail/lore on terra and everything

[empty moat]

He said farterra you said wattle more like farttle like if you were upset from them calling alterra farterra

[quick hawk]

ftatlratlatltfaltl

[unique rune]

im pretty sure it was implied the solar system is like soviet socialist

[latent kettle]

its absolutely not????

[unique rune]

its not?

[latent kettle]

no

alterra is a megacorp

[unique rune]

i remember one pda in bz

[acoustic glen]

i doubt it, there is prolly soviet federation but our solar system is def not like that

[pliant mesa]

shw

[unique rune]

or maybe i dont and made it up and forgot i did

[acoustic glen]

okay i had the US debt value open when i started all this

[tall geyser]

You can pick up the prawn suit by just driving the cyclops over it to basically get the enter hitbox to hit the prawn suit

[acoustic glen]

the debt has gone up nearly 1million USD since then

[tall geyser]

jeez

[proven shoal]

@forest zealot are you gonna take ts disrespect?

[latent kettle]

if only it actually mattered lol

[empty moat]

Omg

[empty moat]

[proven shoal]

@quick hawk

[acoustic glen]

it kinda does, because if the US dollar becomes valueless, most nations basing their dollar off it will be more screwed than they already were, but that's an #off-topic convo

[forest zealot]

Is ts the beef of the year?

[empty moat]

Dang it

[pliant mesa]

@empty moat it just means "this"

[latent kettle]

i mean yeah it matters for various reasons but not because were in debt which is the funny part

[proven shoal]

I don't play slime rancher, are the slimes crackable?

[empty moat]

What is crackable?

What does crackable mean-

[proven shoal]

Crackable as in being able to crack and/or able to get cracked
