subnautica-chat

[hybrid axle]

fortunately no

[acoustic osprey]

Just go to the wreck

[acoustic osprey]

So you left it in the seamoth?

[chrome mauve]

without fighting it?

[hybrid axle]

its in my inventory

[acoustic osprey]

Make it dissapear then go to the wreck and it shouldn't be able to find you while you are in the wreck

[acoustic osprey]

Ok then

[chrome mauve]

ok

I DID IT

IM IN

[acoustic osprey]

Upon dying, you only drop most items that you collected after the last time that you left your base

[acoustic osprey]

👍

[chrome mauve]

did i have to hit it too? cuz i only rifled him

[remote palm]

About to play below zero again hehe

Although I think I wanna grab a snack first.

[acoustic osprey]

Well I usually do it but just freezing it is fine too

[chrome mauve]

i heard it tp while scanning a drill

[acoustic osprey]

||Yea, it appears in one spot, patrols around and then dissapears. Then after a short time it appears in the first spot again||

[hybrid axle]

put new battery in my seaglide im ready to retrieve my seamothh!!

[chrome mauve]

hes back but i knifed him

[acoustic osprey]

Do you have ultra high o2 tank

[chrome mauve]

there was nothing in the wreck

wait

[acoustic osprey]

Maybe you didn't explore everything. There are some laser cut doors

[hybrid axle]

ive got the normal high one

[acoustic osprey]

And an area that I can only describe as a wide black hallway

[acoustic osprey]

Then you better hurry

[hybrid axle]

actually 2 of them so its anm easy journey

[acoustic osprey]

👍

[remote palm]

Does anyone know the answer to their question?
Please say something at least. They've tried to ask multiple times and they'd like an answer

[orchid ermine]

thank you

[remote palm]

Of course 😁

[hybrid axle]

i dont sorry ive just started playing subnautica in general

[remote palm]

That's alright. 🙂
If not you someone else maybe 🙂

[chrome mauve]

i only found 1 drill and 1 grapple in the whole wreck and around it

[acoustic osprey]

Yea, that's usually how my scavange goes for that one

Tho I usually find 2 drills at least

[chrome mauve]

i scanned the warper

and there were 3 warpers there

|| yo the sunbeam is coming in 50 seconds ||

where do i go?

[hybrid axle]

the landing site

[chrome mauve]

i dont have time

im in the grassy

[scenic oriole]

Have these mods been updated to the newest game version? All earlier game versions are disabled on Steam...

[chrome mauve]

yo... i missed the doors that you could open with the laser cutter

[hybrid axle]

i mean idk if it matters if you miss it , you should be fine but you should search up what happens if youre not there

[chrome mauve]

guess ill have to go back

[acoustic osprey]

They are hard to miss lol

[chrome mauve]

ik what happens

[hybrid axle]

alr you should be fine ig

[scenic oriole]

Do you also know that the landing site beacon disappears after the timer runs out? It's the only beacons signal in the whole game that you cannot reactivate...

[chrome mauve]

i dont see the ship

[acoustic osprey]

You mean wreck or?

[chrome mauve]

nvm it took like 20 seconds after the timer for the voice to come

[hybrid axle]

how do i get aerogel?

[acoustic osprey]

Ruby and gel sacks

[chrome mauve]

BROOO and its night too

this kinda scary ngl

[acoustic osprey]

Sparse reef has both of those resources

[chrome mauve]

do i stand on the life pod?

[acoustic osprey]

You can make a bed and sleep through the night

[chrome mauve]

its in my base tho

[acoustic osprey]

And how far is the life pod from your base?

[hybrid axle]

does the coffe machine just provide infinite coffe somehow

[chrome mauve]

like 600 m

my base is far away in grassy

[acoustic osprey]

There's probably small energy consumption but idk

[acoustic osprey]

Then wait at the life pod ig. Night in subnautica is only 5 minutes anyway

[hybrid axle]

litteraly no energy used up for me lol

[chrome mauve]

its happened

|| Will I need to go to where the ship is now or what? ||

well. looks like im going back to grand reef

[latent kettle]

yeah, same with the vending machine. the stuff you get from them though is... not great to put it nicely

[scenic oriole]

To progress the story, yes

[latent kettle]

god i hate ||ion cube farming||

[scenic oriole]

You don't really need many of them until you can get lots of them...

[chrome mauve]

yooo

the warper really teleported me out of the ship

wreck

[vast bridge]

To be fair, they could have decreased the time that thing uses to ||produce|| them.

Or placed a big chunk.

There is no real reason to increase the playtime waiting for it.

[latent kettle]

best solution i have, doesnt help that it takes forever for one cycle
i need multiple lockers for my project. the amount isnt a problem, its that you only get ||3 per cycle|| so it just takes FOREVER with literally no gameplay
(endgame spoilers)

unfortunately my crontroller is stupid and still falls asleep despite the button being held down

[acoustic osprey]

It's a bug. They can sometimes see you through the walls of the wreck

[chrome mauve]

i cant

they teleported me out of the ship 5 times now

[acoustic osprey]

Breh

[chrome mauve]

and im 1 hp. im gonna die

[latent kettle]

creatures often just dont care about walls for seeing

no medkits?

[chrome mauve]

i dont have med kit

or i did have but i used it

[latent kettle]

i always carry 2 on me and replenish them when i can

[scenic oriole]

(Or moving if they're leviathans😜)

[chrome mauve]

hes back

it doesnt take more than 5 seconds for him to come back after i hit him

this might be it

[latent kettle]

it doesnt seem that leviathans are the only ones that do it, ive witnessed bonesharks go through walls too (which is arguably scarier than a reaper jumpscare)

[amber urchin]

anyone played the prototype expansion mod?

[latent kettle]

leviathans just have an easier time doing it, likely because of their weird collision

[chrome mauve]

there are 3 of them here...

[latent kettle]

warpers, at which wreck?

[chrome mauve]

the one super close to the kelp forest

in grand reef

i could just go die now cuz i have the drill arm and grappler now

i only lose the stuff im not equiping right?

[latent kettle]

oh lol

you only lose some of the stuff you picked up since the last time you were in a base

[chrome mauve]

i died

hmmm

[latent kettle]

they just drop there but more often than not they will just fall through the ground so its effectively gone

[chrome mauve]

i kept everything

wierd

[latent kettle]

yeah its not a guarantee that youll lose anything

[chrome mauve]

that was kinda good that it happened

wait... my sea moth

my max upgraded sea moth is still there

[latent kettle]

yeah you can swim over

itl be fine

[chrome mauve]

do i take my prawn suit? it doesnt have any upgrades

[latent kettle]

nah you should be fine swimming

[analog gyro]

Kinda wish and hope the devs will do what Bethesda did with fallout and Skyrim.

I mean the modding thing for consoles I really wanna play some mods like the scarlet plague or dead zone mapping initiative. But can't because I'm on console T^T

[acoustic osprey]

@chrome mauve

[latent kettle]

almost exactly what i said lol

[acoustic osprey]

Get the grapple arm before using it

[chrome mauve]

or i think i actually lost like 1 ruby

cuz i think i picked up one

[acoustic osprey]

Oh welp, I didn't see anyone telling him that

[chrome mauve]

yoo these are easy to get

[latent kettle]

its fine, i was just amused at how similar our messages were

[chrome mauve]

i have 2/3 blood oil...

i have to go to blood kelp....

[latent kettle]

get an extra one, you can grow it in growbeds

[acoustic osprey]

What do you need benzeene for?

You didn't get grapple blueprint yet?

[latent kettle]

grapple arm

[chrome mauve]

grapple

[acoustic osprey]

You have the blueprint?

[latent kettle]

oh that was bizarre, the platform didnt lower once it finished fabricating

[chrome mauve]

yeah

[acoustic osprey]

K then

[chrome mauve]

my stasis rifle is low %

[latent kettle]

i am not looking forward to getting all the titanium i need 😔

[latent kettle]

it uses the same batteries as all your other tools

[chrome mauve]

titanium is easy

just pick up the salvatage

i got 20 titanium in like 5 min just now

[latent kettle]

i have 4 and a half days of playtime in this save

[acoustic osprey]

You making a mega base or something?

[latent kettle]

ive already picked up all the salvage in the shallows

[chrome mauve]

i have 67

[acoustic osprey]

I thought it like respawns

[latent kettle]

even better and even less useful

maybe but its really slow if it does

[chrome mauve]

where do i get nickel ore?

[latent kettle]

there are plenty of other places to find salvage and there are plenty of nodes i can mine but i need 6 whole lockers of bars

[chrome mauve]

please dont say a dangerous place

[latent kettle]

effectively 60 lockers of titanium

[acoustic osprey]

Ever been below 700m?

[chrome mauve]

no

[latent kettle]

lol

everywhere is dangerous

[acoustic osprey]

Find a biome that deep then

[chrome mauve]

maybe like 500m

[latent kettle]

the highest biome with it is lost river

[chrome mauve]

lost river is scary ash

[acoustic osprey]

End game biomes are dangerous btw. You will need to get out of your comfort zone eventually

[chrome mauve]

but isnt lost river like crazy dangerous?

[acoustic osprey]

Depends on how you define crazy dangerous

[chrome mauve]

leviathans.

[acoustic osprey]

For me it's mostly chill with ghost leviathans in some places

[acoustic osprey]

Just freeze it with stasis rifle and dip

[half garnet]

hi gng

[scenic oriole]

Resources don't respawn

[acoustic osprey]

Welp I thought salvage was a bit different

[scenic oriole]

There is something like 20k titanium in the map

[sudden pumice]

How to build walls on a fundament? I just placed down a fundament but i dont have any walls.... i just have like tumes and stuff

[scenic oriole]

There are no walls, only compartments and rooms

[acoustic osprey]

You don't need foundation to build a base btw

[sudden pumice]

huh?

[acoustic osprey]

You are not playing minecraft

[scenic oriole]

Or to define it differently, building a compartment or room builds floor, walls and roof at the same time

[vast bridge]

You have to find the rooms, in the early game you only have corridors.

[sudden pumice]

ohh okay

[vast bridge]

Which are fine if you just want to build more storage.

[acoustic osprey]

Did the devs intended for players ||to hear "Come here, to me" before "I am what you seek, want to help you" or is it the oposite? 🤔||

[sudden pumice]

is there a way to uncraft tianium bars into the normal titanium

[vast bridge]

The former.

[scenic oriole]

Not without mods

[sudden pumice]

okay, all good

[acoustic osprey]

Nah, but that becomes a thing in below zero

[acoustic osprey]

Ok, even tho the first line sounds more like the final one

[chrome mauve]

aint no way i just died in a wreck cuz i didnt find the way out and the oxygen went out

and i have the ultra tank

[vast bridge]

It's pretty common.

[chrome mauve]

place was MASSIVE

[acoustic osprey]

👍

[gritty talon]

subnautica's "Medium" water quality has seen so much improvement

but i don't notice much in terms of visuals and fps between it and high

so did the old Medium setting give an fps boost?

[vast bridge]

It isn't really medium and high.

Let me grab you the comment from the developers again.

He tweaked the different approaches for it to not look like squares. That's why it improved.

[gritty talon]

that is really nice

i understand now

[vast bridge]

I don't really think it has a significant impact on the FPS, clearly not as much as the detail setting in the main menu.

[latent kettle]

"simulating" water is one of the most impressive things weve done with computers

also just finished with the ion cubes yay

[hybrid axle]

are the glowing fishes in mushroom forest friendly

[vast bridge]

Everything is friendly in the Mushroom Forest.

Even the crabsquids that come to greet you from inside the ground.

[latent kettle]

except the one spot where the reaper likes to wander in

[hybrid axle]

im not ever trusting crabsquids again they can burn in hell for all i care

anyways can all the cyclops fragments be found in mushroom forset

[latent kettle]

yes, but its not the easiest place to find them since theyre scattered pretty far away from each other and the mushroom trees keep you from having a decent line of sight to find them

you could make it really easy though just by using a scanner room

im pretty sure the only other fragment there is power transporter so most of the hits are going to be what youre looking for

[hybrid axle]

oh yeah forgot i can use those

ty

is it smart to go crash zone for the fragments

[latent kettle]

bridge fragments are pretty common by the crash site but im not sure about the others

[hybrid axle]

alr

[latent kettle]

ive found engines to be common by the gun island and hulls to be easy to find in mushroom forest

ofc thats just where ive found it easier to find them, other places may be easier for you

[hybrid axle]

well ima go to aurora for the first time

wish me luck

i probably need the radiation helmet first tbh

[fathom yacht]

Hi everyone! For me, the best energy source, besides solar panels, is the ||thermal reactor||. Once you build several of them near a heat source and connect them to the base, you no longer have to worry about power. My second choice is the ||bioreactor||, but only if powered by ||alien feces||, as that way the power lasts much longer. 🙂 P.S. For those interested, here's a picture of my base #🏠awesome-bases message.

[hybrid axle]

where do you find heat sources though

[acoustic osprey]

Thermal vents, there's a lot in mid and late game biomes

[fathom yacht]

If you explore, you'll find them; they're ||submerged volcanoes||. P.S. Sorry for my English, but I don't speak English. I use a translator.

[hybrid axle]

so uhm what are those 2 lines on the top of my screen

[vast bridge]

It's only 75 unit of energy per slot.

An oculus is 630 and a reginald 490.

They're pretty bad. The whole thing only gives you 300 units.

[hybrid axle]

omg i escaped the reaper leviathan

[scenic oriole]

Even the bonesharks that spawn there?🤓

[vast bridge]

I had to use my map because I forgot there are a very few slots.

I don't know why they exist in the first place.

[hybrid axle]

and he ate my seamoth

[remote palm]

Spoiler that

You should know by now it's required

[hybrid axle]

mb

[remote palm]

People aren't gonna wanna always see something they haven't seen themselves yet

[bleak elbow]

ive checked the removed items many times but never seen this before wonder why

well that kinda answers the question but still

[torn zenith]

where are the most laser cutter fragments?

[scenic oriole]

Grassy plateaus, both seabed and inside wrecks

[tepid fern]

Do the Cyclops and the Seamoth loose power, when the lights are on (would make kinda sense).

[dusk pumice]

jees man, how does this metal salvage keep going out of the map?

They're in "solid" ground. Do the stalkers just go in the floor and drop it there so it's unrecoverable?

[dim thorn]

I am pretty sure that the metal salvage drops below their hitbox, so if given enough time

||which you have judging containment||

it'll eventually happen with them rubbing against/through the floor

[dusk pumice]

huh, seems fixable, but it probably takes too much time to do

[dim thorn]

yeah

[dusk pumice]

but man, sure would like to grab that titanium

[dim thorn]

it's only a problem if you try to get over the basic requirements for subnautica, it would just take longer due to having to venture out

[scenic oriole]

No, vehicle lights don't use power.

(Except cyclops red indoor light🤓)

[dusk pumice]

I mean, yea, it's a non-problem
But it's still annoying that the scanner room is telling me how much titanium is just out of my reach

huh, I don't get why my prawn is getting 107C but this thermal boy is only giving me 70C

surely the devs should know about how the prawn can walk on air, right?

[fathom yacht]

Hi @vast bridge! What do I need to do to get the tag "Playtesters"?

[dusk pumice]

probably join the playtester group when the team are looking for playtesters?

[scenic oriole]

And you don't 'join' the playtester group...you apply when they are looking for and it's up to UWE who they select.

[dusk pumice]

well yea, you join by being let in

[fathom yacht]

I'm new to this Discord channel. No need to act like a know-it-all. Keep in mind that I don't speak English, but I use a translator.

Ok, I understand that I need to wait for the right time to apply for this role. Thanks for the information. 🙂

[median valve]

You thought you were safe on land? THINK AGAIN!

[dusk pumice]

hey, just wants to give you a hug
you're safe

[median valve]

He's actually pretty mad|| I've been corraling him from the front of the Aurora to my observatory in the shallows || been trolling him about 30 minutes now.

[dusk pumice]

ah, probably just gonna give a lovebite, like cats do

[sudden nova]

Hey can someone tell me soo many things

Please 🙏🥺😭

[dusk pumice]

sure, I can try to help, whatsup?

[sudden nova]

Please can we talk in dms

[median valve]

He's straight snatched my prawn suit while I was repairing it 🤣 was sitting there with the tool and then he just yanked it in front of me. Did not go for me but he dragged that thing so far away that he knew he was going to get to me before I got to it. I know it's a dude but still...

[fast light]

Boutta go to the aurora

How do I enter the front if there r leviathans

BRO WHAT DO I DO

[gritty talon]

is the modification station the most difficult thing to get the parts of

[median valve]

Hug the side until you have an opening in the side, like torn metal with hole in it and then IMMEDIATELY turn right. Long as you can get in that are, you'll be fine. If you don't, ||Sammy will be waiting to give you a big ole hug and invite you to dinner||

[wicked coral]

Someone told me there’s good loot here but I can’t really find much…

[rapid estuary]

The oldest trick in the book huh, so basically behind the big ship are very scawy fish

[fast light]

I got it, I’m just wondering what I do in there

[median valve]

Bring a cutting tool and a few fire extinguishers.

[fast light]

I did that

But where do I go

I’ll watch a video

It’s gonna take too long to explain

[median valve]

I mean I can't really say that without writing out a lot of stuff I would recommend looking up a map but there is a lot to explore and scan in there and it just don't forget to repair the reactor while you're there.

Oh yeah you already beat me to it

[dusk pumice]

Well, to me, it just seems like they're cats

[median valve]

Well, sandman and love, death and robots DID address that if cats could, they would absolutely run things instead of us. So that makes sense 🤣

[foggy herald]

There is good loot

Cyclops engine fragments, supply boxes, and lots of scrap metal

[wild patrol]

how do i progress anything rn?
got ||cyclops and prawn to max depth of 1300 and rn i need either kyanite for the rocket or some way to progress the story||
i heard that i need to ||go deeper but i tried every spot i know and idk what to do next||

[foggy herald]

Have you found either of the blood kelp zones

[wild patrol]

the ones that are used for ||benzene||? (yes)

[foggy herald]

Yea

So you probably have been to the lost river

[wild patrol]

what is a lost river?

[foggy herald]

I’ll dm you info

[tepid fern]

So the normal indoor light of the cyclops is bad for batteries?

[wild patrol]

ok

[acoustic osprey]

@median valve

[dusk pumice]

nice monch, huh

[kindred sierra]

Just finished my second playthrough of the game and the first time in survival mode!! My first was freedom mode. I finished it in 23 hours and 20 mins (to be fair I did some site seeing but it was mostly a “minimalistic” run)

I’m thinking of doing a third playthrough with freedom mode again, my first playthrough was done in 3 days, 15 hours and 29 mins because I finished it 100% but I wanna do a casual run on freedom mode without having to worry about hunger or thirst

[fast light]

I love making the exploding fish come out and then throwing them against the wall

[scenic oriole]

No. The 'red indoor light' was a joke since the silentr running sets indoor lights to red (and consumes lot of power)

[latent kettle]

neither light consumes battery

[foggy herald]

Welp
I finished the third Neptune, Sea Emperor
I’m planning on two more, the ghost, and the reaper

[grizzled bear]

okokokoko

@dusk pumice #🔧sn1-bz-tech-support

How only 120fps on rx 7900xt

it gets 200fps on max settings Fortnite no ray tracing

believe 3060 Ti got 140fps

max settings

Yes I only got 100fps on rtx 3060 Ti

min probably 90 max 110

found the Grand reef biome

Why is it called that?

deep Grand reef and Bulb zone

Ah that's where the endgame was the entire time

@nimble spear Why is it called the grand reef?

North east of the life pod

[serene dragon]

???????

[wet fjord]

Those power transmitters are no joke, I've been sleeping on them for way too long

[latent kettle]

i just dont see how extending the range is particularly helpful

though i suppose you could daisy chain a huge reactor base to all your other bases

[twilit turtle]

that's what i usually end up doing

mapwide power grid for no practical reason

[latent kettle]

right the practicality is what gets me

[twilit turtle]

i do it just cuz

it's completely pointless, but it's cool so eh

[latent kettle]

like believe me i love doing things that dont do anything or are unnecessary but the transmitters seem more like a utility that was supposed to be helpful in some way

maybe it was in an iteration of the power mechanic

[hollow scroll]

yo guys why cant i play subnautica multiplayer anymore

theres no legacy

[twilit turtle]

security patch

[latent kettle]

unfortunately i tend to forget about fringe things like the grav trap or spotlight because theyre just not interesting and dont pose a particular use

[hollow scroll]

so what can i do

[latent kettle]

wait for it to be updated i think

[twilit turtle]

the legacy builds can't be used any longer

[latent kettle]

oh

[twilit turtle]

at least for now

[latent kettle]

i was going to add you may be able to rollback but ig not lol

[hollow scroll]

so how can i play multiplayer n

[twilit turtle]

apparently the older unity builds had vulnerabilities so they got shut down

[latent kettle]

unity moment

[twilit turtle]

the current ones just got patches

[twilit turtle]

real

[hollow scroll]

@twilit turtle so summary i cant play multiplayer rn?

[twilit turtle]

don't think you really can atm, hopefully that changes soon

[hollow scroll]

bruhh

[latent kettle]

ultimately your best bet is to just wait for it to be updated. unless you have some skill in modding or programming in general i dont think theres much you could do to expedite that process

[twilit turtle]

i bet the nitrox server's been apocalyptic

[latent kettle]

yeah its pretty much what always happens when a game updates lol

so uh i found an insanely effective way to farm stalker teeth...

like, too effective

[twilit turtle]

oh? do tell

[latent kettle]

building a couple layers of tubes on top of each other on top of foundations near the surface (sticking out) and raising a bunch of stalkers, then dropping them and some metal and you have that sound effect playing on repeat

i think ihad too many stalkers... i wound up with too many teeth

multiple inventories full in minutes

full inventories, no tools

it did eventually crash because a lot of them fell through the ground

so maybe a couple stalkers would be... better?

probably 4. i need to experiment a little more

i would have taken videos to share but im out of storage so i couldnt

[twilit turtle]

[latent kettle]

also if you do that, do NOT put a grav trap in there

it will grab the stalkers and the salvage and not the teeth

[twilit turtle]

subnautica crash speedrun, any%

[latent kettle]

essentially forcing the metal and stalkers to constantly be together

[rugged epoch]

they should make a pre 2025 patch version if they cant return the legacy

[latent kettle]

yeah i wonder what the fastest from metal drop you could crash a fresh save

[twilit turtle]

well not really

that was a critical security hotfix

[rugged epoch]

the one before it

like 2 months ago

[twilit turtle]

ah i see

yeh that'd be cool

[latent kettle]

that still isnt on switch btw

[rugged epoch]

so my FCS would work ):

[twilit turtle]

i do kinda miss the jank tbh

[latent kettle]

yeah looking at the patch notes it seems like the main focus was to deal with the big ones that ate prawns or whatever

[twilit turtle]

and the space force reapers

[latent kettle]

though for bz its nearly exclusively making the ice worm not as terrible

[twilit turtle]

and the furniture dump

no more instant showrooms falling thru the cyclops

[latent kettle]

honestly every time my switch does something dumb like crashing subnautica or having the weird storage stuff going on i cant really get upset with it its 7 years old now 😭
i should probably look at getting more micro sd cards so i can actually have things downloaded anymore

longest 15 minutes of my life transferring one game from sd to system memory (it has been more than 15 minutes)

[twilit turtle]

me taking an hour and a half on xbox😭

[latent kettle]

oh yeah this is not a massive game, if i was tryng to move like scarlet or smth it would take an hour

[twilit turtle]

i mean sn took a solid three hours to install

[latent kettle]

its not insignificant but its not nearly the worst

[twilit turtle]

ah

[latent kettle]

wow thats impressive tbh

where is lead most concentrated

[twilit turtle]

around thermals usually

sandstone outcrops tend to be common near them

[latent kettle]

id rather go for nodes but i have considered just sucking it up and doing sandstone because it does drop pretty well from it

ig ill check around lr first before i admit defeat

[sick sorrel]

So I was playing until a reaper spawned and was just flying in air

[twilit turtle]

reper go spece

[latent kettle]

ksp (killer space program)

[twilit turtle]

msp

munchies space program

[manic karma]

Yay! I'm getting a new monitor soon, so I can finally play Subnautica in normal resolution instead of this 19XX television quality! 🥳

[wet fjord]

I use it for thermal reactors because I love having infinite power, hate the location of the thermal vent

[latent kettle]

alright, whatever boats your float

i find nuclear reactors to be effectively infinite power, theres more uraninite in the world than i could feasibly use for reactors ever

its only slightly more "maintenance" than thermals, though its not really much at all

[plucky birch]

what is a alzchamber

i was testing the creative gamemode

and i glitched under floor and i saw the biome

[latent kettle]

ok i think this may actually be more effective. i havent tried it yet but scaling the original down did not help. they didnt make them very quick at all and they kept escaping somehow (just swimming through the walls for some reason) and clipping themselves and the metal through the foundations. im still missing 2 salvage

[latent kettle]

probably the ||aquarium||

[plucky birch]

whats that

[latent kettle]

have you beat the game yet

[twilit turtle]

nuclear's always boated my float, but I could see thermal being useful

[plucky birch]

no

i was just toying around in creative

[latent kettle]

yeah its endgame

[plucky birch]

oh

[latent kettle]

id like thermal a bit more if it wasnt so finnicky (i also dont really like how slow it is but obv you can scale it but thats difficult with thermals...)

[twilit turtle]

yeh

and you tend to end up with transmitter messes

[latent kettle]

i might play around with them later in creative

[clever tangle]

Hey guys i got a question, how do i go to the lost river and bring both my prawn and seamoth?

[latent kettle]

you could take each with the cyclops

[clever tangle]

each?

that would take a year though

[latent kettle]

yeah individually

there are shortcuts

[clever tangle]

where?

[latent kettle]

theres an entrance from ||grand reef (big blue balloons) that comes in right next to the tree room||
theres another that goes to the ||fossil research room|| but i dont remember where it comes from

you can take a couple beacons and scope out the entrances and leave markers to make it easier

[clever tangle]

Im thinking of making a base at the lost river by deconstruncting my base in the shallows, and moving it to the lost river. I also know theres and entrance at the ||blood kelp zone||, which entrance should i go through though?

[latent kettle]

depends on where youre going and how much immediate danger youre willing to ignore each pass

the former has a ghost that lives in the immediate room, while the latter has a bunch of electric eels

[clever tangle]

Which one do u think i should go to? And also do u think there would be any problems if i start living in the lost river?

[latent kettle]

not any more problems than would be anywhere else tbh

personally i like the ||tree room|| the most because it has easier to access and im pretty sure more abundant resources as well as being a safe spot

its also right next to the shortcut and in front of the entrance to the hot areas

[clever tangle]

So the ||grand reef ||entrance

So to bring both my prawn and seamoth i have to go back and forth?

[latent kettle]

yeah

[clever tangle]

bruuh

[latent kettle]

you could take the prawn in the cyclops and then swim back for the seamoth but im not sure you would want to go through multiple ghost leviathans without a vehicle lol

[clever tangle]

So now my plan is to transfer to all my mats to the cyclops, go with my prawn there, make a base, come back bring my seamoth, go back and get jumpscared by a few levaithans inbetween. This is going to be very stressful 😭

[latent kettle]

personally i dont find the seamoth to be particularly useful in lr

its very much more aligned with the prawn

[clever tangle]

But ill need to go back up to my ||rocket||

[latent kettle]

ive made the trek dozens of times its really not that bad

[clever tangle]

Alr, thanks alot

im gonna deconstruct everything

[latent kettle]

its a straight shot to the entrance from shallows and then once you get through the ||ghost room (just stay to the left)|| youre already at the ||tree room||

[clever tangle]

Wats the|| ghost room and the tree room||

[latent kettle]

||the room with the ghost leviathan (specifically near the grand reef entrance) and the room with the tree||

[clever tangle]

Alr, but how will i have have a source of food?

[latent kettle]

have you been to the islands yet?

[clever tangle]

Yea, im completely read to go to the lost river

[latent kettle]

theres a bunch of self sustaining food there

marblemelons are my go to

theres also plenty of small fish down there you can cook, but they wont be in the ||tree room||

you could bring some glass and make an alien containment and grow the fish inside too

[clever tangle]

Bruuh, i forgot to bring them

[latent kettle]

then youre not limited to what you can find

[clever tangle]

Alr thanks alot, im going to go put a beacon at the entrance and then go there with my cyclops

[latent kettle]

well on the way you can hit the floating island since its right there

[clever tangle]

U got any tips for going with the cyclops?

[latent kettle]

dont stop moving

[clever tangle]

But what if the cyclops is on fire and a ghost levaithan is attacking?

[latent kettle]

leviathans are bad at attacking it and moving parallel to them effectively stops them

leviathans will eventually leave you alone if you turn off the engine

[clever tangle]

Alr thanks alot

[latent kettle]

if you want to be really careful, when you see them (or go through their territory) turn on silent running and if youre really not sure, go speed 1

[clever tangle]

yea, that ik

im gonna get some upgrades and go

[latent kettle]

also if youve built the ||rocket|| already you should have access to the shield generator

[clever tangle]

Not completely, only built 2 parts

[latent kettle]

ah

[clever tangle]

But i do have access to it already

I dont have nickel tho, thats why im going to the lost river

[latent kettle]

that is very helpful if youre getting hit (not a guarantee) and the power consumption is not a big deal since you arent going super far before setting up a base

plus you should probably have an extra set of cells just in case

[clever tangle]

Nope, im gonna make, but im kinda broke

[latent kettle]

oh also since youre moving down there make sure to bring creepvine and acid shroom seeds

[clever tangle]

Yea, ill also bring deeps shrooms and gel sacks

They r very useful with the bioreactor

[latent kettle]

on your way id also recommend grabbing some blood oil if you come across any (which you should i think)

[clever tangle]

ye, alr planted one near my base in the shallows

[latent kettle]

or you could just take one from there lol

[clever tangle]

Wait, is the floating isaldn the first one or the second one?

[latent kettle]

the floating island is the one with the ancient floaters holding it up. its got the degasi bases on it

[clever tangle]

bruh, im at the wrong island

[latent kettle]

||there is an arch there lol||

youd have to come back and get the cyclops though

[clever tangle]

But my cubes r at base 😭

bruh there aint even no cube offering thingy

Anyways thanks alot, im going to head to the degasi base now

[novel lintel]

hey there! i joined here to see if anyone is able to help me with this, if you some ideas on how to fix this i'd very much appreciate it

[vast bridge]

It tries to save in the main menu? Do you use the autosave mod perhaps?

[novel lintel]

no I just got the game on steam 😭

[vast bridge]

Share the log file. shell:localappdatalow\unknown worlds\subnautica, drag and drop Player.

You copy / paste this in the file explorer or inside the run window (Windows key + r).

[novel lintel]

okay ill try it, thank you so much

wait where am i dragging and dropping it to?

sorry i dont really know what im doing

[vast bridge]

Place the line in this.

Press enter, you should see one of two files.

One of them is Player.log and the other Player-prev.log, the previous time you launched the game.

[rugged epoch]

yes

[vast bridge]

Drag and drop Player here or in my DM.

[novel lintel]

oh okay mb

[vast bridge]

You're answering a comment from an user that doesn't exist anymore since it was posted in 2016.

[vast bridge]

Is your D an external drive?

[novel lintel]

no its not

[vast bridge]

FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData/SavedGames\options"

Check the permissions perhaps.

[novel lintel]

okay, btw thanks again for helping me out with this, sorry if its late for you

[vast bridge]

Check if you have an options folder inside the game directory, SNAppData/SavedGames.

And generally the permissions for this folder.

[novel lintel]

no there isnt an options folder

[vast bridge]

It's a bit odd, the game should have your user permissions.

That's why I asked you if you use an external drive, that could have been caused by that. This game really doesn't like it.

If it isn't, then probably a permission issue.

[novel lintel]

hmm yeah its on a internal hard disk so idk

how would check permissions, ive bee trying to do that but i havent been able to figure it out

been*

[vast bridge]

Right click on the SavedGames folder, properties, security.

[novel lintel]

what would i be looking for thats missing for permissions?

[vast bridge]

Click on advanced, effective access.

Click on select an user.

[novel lintel]

okay

[vast bridge]

Then type WALL-E\<yourUser>.

And click on check name, it should be underlined.

Your user should have the full control.

[ornate pivot]

Why is WALL-E in the game?

[vast bridge]

It's the name of their computer.

[ornate pivot]

Oh

[vast bridge]

deviceName = WALL-E in the log file.

[novel lintel]

what would the username be, would it be my steam of something else?

also yeah i named it wall-e and idk why

[vast bridge]

Press Ctrl + shift + escape.

Then users.

It's that name.

It's probably an email for you.

It usually is. Unless you created a local account when you installed Windows.

[novel lintel]

yeah it cant find it

[vast bridge]

It isn't underlined when you click on check names?

Make sure you don't have a typo.

Computer\User.

[novel lintel]

oh im dumb

i forgot to get rid of the arrow things on the sides of the user

okay i got it now

[vast bridge]

The window should list the access for that specific user. Do you have full control?

[novel lintel]

yes it has a check by full control

[vast bridge]

You should have create files / write data, create folders / append data. But usually when you have full control you have them as well.

[novel lintel]

yep mine looks like that

[vast bridge]

It's odd the game can't create the folder then.

I wouldn't recommend launching the game with admin privileges.

What you can do is try to create the options folder yourself inside SavedGames.

But then you might have the problem when you'll try to save for real.

[novel lintel]

hmm yeah

idk why my game downloaded all wonky

[vast bridge]

The options folder is used to save graphics / keybinds options.

[novel lintel]

yeah i noticed that cuz it wouldnt save my audio preferences

and ive tried validating the files multiple times but that hasnt done anything

[vast bridge]

You could try to install the game on another drive.

Again you might be able to fix the issue if you launch Steam with admin permissions. But that isn't something I would recommend.

[novel lintel]

okay ill try reinstalling it on a different drive

but if this doesnt work than ill just call it quits for now

[delicate estuary]

I’m about to go into the Aurora for the first time I hope I don’t die

[vast bridge]

The fires are more dangerous than the reaper.

If you stay at the water line level he probably won't see you.

[delicate estuary]

Ok thank you

[novel lintel]

oh my god it works

[novel lintel]

thank you so much for all the help

i can happily play subnautica now, even tho im terrified of the ocean

[dusk pumice]

wait what did I do?

[torn zenith]

||what do i get the island signal from and what do i get the mushroom caverns degasi base signal from or do i need to find it||

[ornate pivot]

You know what you did (I have no clue)

[vast bridge]

You get the Floating Island signal from the PDA in lifepod 19.

[torn zenith]

mmhm

[vast bridge]

As for the ||Degasi base||, you have two PDAs.

One on Floating Island, the other inside the Jellyshroom.

[torn zenith]

alr

[vast bridge]

Near the entrance from lifepod 17.

[torn zenith]

||do i build my mid game base in sparse reef or mushroom forest, if mushroom forest wich one?||

[acoustic osprey]

Why not both

[vast bridge]

Sparse Reef is boring.

If I replay I would build in the biggest Mushroom Forest and place growbeds on every mushroom.

[acoustic osprey]

True

[torn zenith]

alr

[acoustic osprey]

West forest is bigger btw 👍

[torn zenith]

is this one of them?

[vast bridge]

One of what?

[torn zenith]

the pas

pdas

[vast bridge]

I don't see a PDA in your screenshot.

[torn zenith]

||theres like a tiny base over my crosshair||

[vast bridge]

The PDA unlocking the signal is this one.

[torn zenith]

oo

[vast bridge]

It's really close to the lifepod 17 entrance.

[torn zenith]

then i might have already taken it

[vast bridge]

You will have the signal in your PDA then.

You can hide / unhide the signal.

[torn zenith]

wrong one

[vast bridge]

Even without the signal, you can still find the ||base|| just by exploring it.

It isn't like it was hidden.

[torn zenith]

ill try to find it

[acoustic osprey]

Base is located on the east end of the Jellyshroom caves

[torn zenith]

found it!

[acoustic osprey]

👍

[scenic oriole]

Speaking of pdas, be sure to check lockers in the base...

[torn zenith]

ill do

just got the ham and cheese signal

shouldnt that like be later

[vast bridge]

It's possible to get it before the ||Sunbeam||, but it is uncommon. If you already had that event it's normal you received it.

[torn zenith]

oh

whats the criteria for it

[vast bridge]

It's time based after you visit the ||Quarantine Enforcement Platform||.

So if you go there just after starting the game you can actually get that message before the ||Sunbeam|| informs you of its presence.

Which is a bit unorthodox.

[torn zenith]

oh

||are the main things i should get from the jellyshroom degasi base: nuclear reactor, water filtration, multipurpouse room and stasis rifle?||

[acoustic osprey]

I think thermal plant fragments can also spawn

[acoustic osprey]

Also check lockers, one is hiding a PDA that gives you a beacon

[torn zenith]

to the deeper one?

[acoustic osprey]

Yea

[coarse bear]

I need some help guys

i accident drop my suit under there

[acoustic osprey]

Then swim for it after the next blast ends

With seaglide it should be no biggie

[torn zenith]

||i think imma build at the eastern mushroom forest||

[coarse bear]

how

[acoustic osprey]

Did it clip through the floor, I can't see behind that beacon

[coarse bear]

oh nvm i got it

[acoustic osprey]

Smh

[coarse bear]

i thought i need jetpack to swim up

[acoustic osprey]

It's called "jump jet upgrade"

[coarse bear]

ty too

[torn zenith]

arent theese suppost to be rare

[acoustic osprey]

They were for me, but they only drop salt anyway

[ivory shuttle]

they have set spawns im pretty sure

[median valve]

It was a long and rather difficult process, but ||my safe shallows reaper observatory is COMPLETE! || resources weren't an issue, I had so many leftovers after beating the game. What WAS a pain, was ||luring Sammy and Vivian over to here PERFECTLY so they would be on the left and right of my observatory AND a far enough away distance from my main base where I could park my stuff no issue.|| They're so much cooler when you can actually see them and they have other animals to interact with and hunt, rather than aimlessly wandering around the biomes they're found in.

[scenic oriole]

Nuclear reactor and technically also stasis rifle are not quaranteed in there. Outside can also have thermal plant, modification station, moonpool or power cell charger fragments. The stuff inside and base pieces are always same: in addition to what you mentioned spotlight, observatory, bed, there is also a databox

[scenic oriole]

Yes, I've understood that those are the only ones...

[torn zenith]

oops

might have broken them

[pallid wigeon]

should i make an incrrdibox mod abt subnautica

[manic karma]

So basically, I was washing a frying pan to cook some nuggets. I grab it after washing, start bringing it to the stove, and suddenly the handle breaks off. The cast-iron pan fell right on the cat (the cat is alive and well).

[pallid wigeon]

how do i increase my graphics

I don't think so

[pallid wigeon]

а мни нужно семя водорослей для плавников😱 🤯

Are you a beginner?

[pallid wigeon]

yeah

i dont have the blueprint for the lubricant

[manic karma]

Look, if you're seriously that afraid of Stalkers, just take some scrap metal or a fish with you. If a Stalker attacks you, just throw one of these at it, and it will leave you alone (you can throw items using RMB, I think).

[pallid wigeon]

how often stalkers spawn

[manic karma]

Well, you can also swim around them

[manic karma]

Google to the rescue

[pallid wigeon]

give me a funny name to call stalkers

[manic karma]

A dino with no feet

[primal jolt]

Those who eat metal bars

[manic karma]

Yes

[pallid wigeon]

is baiting them with metal salvage better than fish

[dusk pumice]

oh, interesting hotbar
knife in the middle, nice

[manic karma]

Well, I'm comfortable with a knife in the middle.

Would you like to visit 4546B?

[manic karma]

IDK

[dusk pumice]

also, nice base
Now that I've finished the game for the first time, I'm also building my home to be less of a mess and more of a space where one could actually stay

[dusk pumice]

I would like to know how the technology present in 4546B works, but I don't think any sane person would want to go in a place where everything wants to kill you, you aren't immortal and have to venture out in literal hell for resources

[dusk pumice]

wait what?
You have 2 scanner rooms?

why would a base have 2 of those?
Unless it's just for aesthetics and not for utility

[rustic sandal]

did i get unlucky with my spawn location?

[dusk pumice]

I don't see why that'd be an unlucky spawn location

[manic karma]

Yes, although they seem to be quite close, they are actually scanning completely different areas.

[bleak elbow]

i saved some subnautica history

[manic karma]

What is it?

[bleak elbow]

which one

there all diffrent parts of history

[manic karma]

All of this, as I understand it, is old mods for Subnautica

[bleak elbow]

not mods

when subnautica was in early development the plan was to have terrain be randomly genorated and terrain test had 3 builds in its history each used to as its name suggests test how that would go

the files marked decended and subanttica where builds made before the public announcment of the game when it started devlopment at the very begining i downloaded off internet archive a while back

and the last screenshot was a random build i downloaded a long time ago becuase i was trying to get a biuld i couldn't access that had a working transfuser and centerfuge which has the pathfinder tool but it worked differently using a sacrapped funtion

[craggy otter]

Gng i managed to get the reaper away from my megabase and i got 2 pets cuddlefishes

[manic karma]

Okay, I didn't know about the first two things.

[pallid wigeon]

what creatures eggs are those?

[manic karma]

Gas-belly, if I'm not mistaken.

[wooden hollow]

Yo is the dev gere

Here*

I need a Collab of Subnautica and outer wilds

OuterNautica!

[pallid wigeon]

theyre called gasopods, and their eggs are protected by them meanwhile i found these just laying around

[manic karma]

Well, gasopods, to be more precise.

[pallid wigeon]

gasopods one look like those

[manic karma]

maybe they are similar, I don't know

[pallid wigeon]

wait they are rabbit rays eggs

wooo i will almost get my seaglide

but i need the rarest ore in the game copper👺

i got the seaglide

[rotund bramble]

Hey I just bought the game on Steam and there's no way to access a previous beta version for getting mods ?

I know about the issues but I'm not playing multiplayer anyways.

A lot of the mods I wanted to get don't work, please, help

I tried everything, I even downloaded god knows how many depots, nothing worked

[scenic oriole]

This is why the earlier versions don't work
#announcements message
So you can only use mods which have been updated to work with the latest version of the game

[bleak elbow]

Let’s just focus on subnautica 2 for now
We’ve already waited long enough

[craggy otter]

I hope u can play on splitscreen

[bleak elbow]

I can see the sentiment on that but leviathan jump scares are hard enough to avoid with a good sized screen
Having a small computer screen at 4 player against a leviathan you can’t kill

[rough zephyr]

where is a good place to build the cyclops, cause everywhere is too small

[acoustic osprey]

Craft it in glass plateaus then

[rough zephyr]

worked great. but where do i make the cyclops upgrades?

[wild patrol]

how to i fix this?
walking in water
no oxygen loss
cant swim

forgot to spoiler the picture

[pallid wigeon]

should i go explore the grassy platypuses🤯

[ornate pivot]

Can you enter ||the facility?||

[wild patrol]

used unstuck and it put me back in cyclops (also fixed the bug)

[ornate pivot]

Ah nice ok

[torn zenith]

i think u can enter a hatch or vehicle

[rough zephyr]

can you build a boireactor/nuclear reactor in the cyclops?

and water filtration system?

[torn zenith]

nope

[rough zephyr]

to what?

[ornate stump]

I made a really long walkable bridge going from upper nbkz down to the lr forest entrance

Outposts Kappa and Theta, the 2 bases the bridge connects

This took SO much titanium dude its crazy

[latent kettle]

jumping down the shaft at the end

[ornate stump]

Originally there was a ghost leviathan blocking further construction of the bridge but then i attacked it with my suit until it exited the lr and then just kinda disappeared

[ornate stump]

Lol the longest shaft is the one at kappa going down the bkz pit

I counted and its around 60 vertical connectors long

[latent kettle]

though i suppose using the ladder is more deadly

[ornate stump]

😛

[latent kettle]

going that far in less than a fraction of a second is probably not good for anything nearby

[ornate stump]

My base is made out of unobtainium fr

[latent kettle]

trur

ughhhh why is lead so annoying

[ornate stump]

Annoying to find?

[latent kettle]

i get youre not generally intended to try to get this much but cmooon

its only 4 lockers...

[ornate stump]

How do u even accumulate so much lead

[latent kettle]

i need 8 lockers of lithium and thats going to be really easy

[ornate stump]

Mushroom forest :V

[latent kettle]

in gathering exactly a locker of lead i have gotten more than 2 lockers of lithium

[ornate stump]

Pls tell me how, i always find myself out of lead cuz i build alot of foundations

[latent kettle]

scouring lost river for now

once i cant find any nodes there.... idk because i dont think it spawns very much in the hot areas

[ornate stump]

Theres alot in the mountains up north

Tho ur gonna run into reapers

[latent kettle]

yeah but its pretty spread out

[ornate stump]

Tru

[latent kettle]

reapers are bad at their job im not worried about them lol

[ornate stump]

😭

[latent kettle]

one followed from the far side of the mountains to my base next to my pod and only hit the cyclops once 😭

[ornate stump]

Have u tried the crag fields, i remember seeing a substantial amount of lead there

[latent kettle]

hm ill look

ig the more annoying part is that when theyre not loaded in the scanner rooms cant find them

so i have to go close to load it in

ig for crags i can take the seamoth and circle the area to get most of it and then go back for the prawn

[wild patrol]

why did my ||mech armor|| just vanish?
i saw it be there like 5min ago and i didnt use it
minimap doesnt show anything too

[latent kettle]

check your pda, is the prawn beacon still in the list

[wild patrol]

no

[latent kettle]

did you encounter a leviathan

[ornate stump]

Funny story

I accidentally lured him to safe shallows and hes been there ever since

Doesnt rlly do any damage tho

[latent kettle]

unsafe shallows

[wild patrol]

was in the ||volcano area|| so i could have but it shouldnt be able to kill ||prawn while its in the cyclops||

[ornate stump]

Good chance it fell out of the map when u unloaded it

[latent kettle]

yeah, ive had lockers disappear from my cyclops

id say just reload the save

sometimes when a leviathan hits the cyclops just right or you hit a wall really hard (via leviathan lol) it does damage through the cyclops and into the interior

[wild patrol]

ig its gone for good
good thing that i have overabundance of 95% of building materials

[ornate stump]

It can damage interior???

[dusk pumice]

what do you think friendos, is a hull strength of 77 enough? XD

[latent kettle]

well if you saved somewhat recently you should be able to load that

[ornate stump]

Overharvesting gone right

[latent kettle]

not intentionally i dont think

[ornate stump]

Enough to build a bridge between bkt and lr

Well not a bridge just a really really long ladder

[wild patrol]

i think i have like 5x more ||kyanite|| + nickel + titanium + copper + gold + silver + uranium then i would need for the rest of my playthrough

[ornate stump]

Isnt kyanite used like... 10 times

[latent kettle]

yeah theres like 4 things that use it lol

[ornate stump]

:P

[latent kettle]

its never more than 4 (usually 2)

[ornate stump]

They shoulda made heat proof suits and better prawn drills but i digress

[dusk pumice]

bkt?
wouldn't it be bkz if it's kelp zone?

[ornate stump]

Nah the trench

[latent kettle]

yeah better drills would be so good

or a combat drill and a faster mining drill

[wild patrol]

wish i could use them to get rid of ||lava mites||

[ornate stump]

Imagine they added a ||sunbeam|| wreck in ||the void|| and u had to collect the better drill fragments there

[ornate stump]

Ikr

[latent kettle]

the leeches? just use the shield generator lol

[ornate stump]

That deattaches the power leeches?

[wild patrol]

dont have recipe for one

[latent kettle]

oh

[ornate stump]

Same where tf is it

[latent kettle]

youre gonna need that lmao

its in databoxes in a couple wrecks, i think theres one in one of the pods? idr

i think theres one in the wreck right up against the gun island

[ornate stump]

I was gonna build another really long bridge between outpost Rhena and Epsilon so i didnt havr to deal with power leeches

[dusk pumice]

the wiki says you can grab the module from the last ||proposed degashi habitat||

[ornate stump]

I didnt find it???

[wild patrol]

ig makes sense that i missed it considering I had ||cyclops|| before a recipe for batery charger

[latent kettle]

the recipe?

[ornate stump]

Ragghh

[dusk pumice]

oh right, it was the databank entry for it

[ornate stump]

I got ||cyclops|| before ||thermal knife|| lol

[dusk pumice]

databox, not databank entry
tf am I on

[ornate stump]

Where does one find the ||cyclops sonar upgrade||

[pallid wigeon]

this is my pet floater pumpu

[dusk pumice]

I found mine in a wreck next to the deadzone

[latent kettle]

i have no clue where i found the sonar thing

[wild patrol]

i found one near the dunes vent (the one that can enter into lr)

[latent kettle]

i found it long before i got the cyclops so i had forgotten about it once i did

[pallid wigeon]

where can i find blueprint for aquarium

[latent kettle]

degasi bases

oh wait aquarium or alien containment

[pallid wigeon]

aquarium

[latent kettle]

im pretty sure theres some around a couple shallow wrecks

[pallid wigeon]

at the safe shallows?

[ornate stump]

Theres an lr entrance in the dunes????

[ornate stump]

Theres a wreck near the void?????????

Dawg why am i learning new stuff after like a year of playing this game

[latent kettle]

dead zone isnt the void

incredible

[ornate stump]

Well i call it that ok

[ornate stump]

Maybe they wanna make a swimming pool

[dusk pumice]

I mean, ghostie means I'm close to deadzone. That's what I go by

[ornate stump]

Oh 2 biomes next to the deadzone have ghosties far from the deadzone

Gr and nbkz

[wild patrol]

thats just people who got spawned in capsule 4

[ornate stump]

Mustve been gr cuz i dont recall seeing wrecks in nbkz

[latent kettle]

pod 4 landed on a desert planet 😭

[wild patrol]

they got every endgame blueprint but 0 earlygame stuff

[dusk pumice]

GR, close to its vent

[latent kettle]

craig mcgill spawn

[ornate stump]

Yr i think i know what ur talkinh about

[pallid wigeon]

can you outrun uhh stalkers with seaglide

[latent kettle]

yeah

[ornate stump]

Eating swamp worms

Or was it roaches

[latent kettle]

stank root and smth roaches

[dusk pumice]

found the shipwreck on the map

[wild patrol]

i wonder if for hard mode you would play as diffrent capsule that had way worst start and their pda is broken so you craft worst stuff

[latent kettle]

yeah that one has good blueprints

[ornate stump]

Ahh nice

[latent kettle]

so bz /j

[ornate stump]

Spawn as pod 3 who fell into the void

[latent kettle]

spawn in the laser cannons barrel and be stuck until sunbeam arrives and kills you

[ornate stump]

How do u even end up in there 😭

[latent kettle]

it doesnt really have a barrel though

[ornate stump]

Explain the long segment of pure girth on that thing

[latent kettle]

its an energy weapon

[ornate stump]

The energy gotta be channeled somewhere

[wild patrol]

your only hope is that you got skilled speedrunner as capsule 5

[dusk pumice]

it has a shaft where it concentrates the beam, that's as close to a barrel as you can get

[ornate stump]

Ye

[pallid wigeon]

i saw my first infected fish at my playtrough

[latent kettle]

eat it

[dusk pumice]

monch monch time

[pallid wigeon]

its a stalker

[ornate stump]

Rude, its just going through space puberty

[dusk pumice]

did cat stutter?
EAT IT

stalkers are like 3 times your size?

[pallid wigeon]

noo kharra will eat me back

yes

i just saw it relocating its scrap toy

[dusk pumice]

huh, I never really knew how dangerous the back of the aurora is

[pallid wigeon]

i use that website too

[latent kettle]

eating infected fish doesnt do anything to you

ive tried

[wild patrol]

whats it gonna do?
double infect you?

[latent kettle]

pre infection

pda doesnt even say anything

[pallid wigeon]

i got a pet hoverfish too

what should i call it

[latent kettle]

hoover

[dusk pumice]

Well yea, the pda telling you not to consume the flesh is just a warning of common sense

[latent kettle]

its mostly flavor text

[pallid wigeon]

what about gover

[latent kettle]

pun not originally intended

[dusk pumice]

"it has green things on it, why would you put that in your mouth"
Just worded more nicely

[latent kettle]

yeah pretty much

theyre also like cysts iirc so it would probably invoke a reflux response

[dusk pumice]

I thought they were called pustules, but eh

[latent kettle]

space cancer that lives on top of your skin

postules and cysts are somewhat similar, i couldnt remember the word

[wild patrol]

if you got rid of your skin would it help fight back the infection?

[latent kettle]

probably not

it is a bacterium so its inside your body

[dusk pumice]

I mean, cmon, being around ||ion cubes|| is probably giving you cancer already

[latent kettle]

no those are specifically stabilized

the cube itself is a construct to safely contain the energy

[wild patrol]

you are constantly like 1km from unstable melting nuclear reactor

[latent kettle]

thats more likely to give you cancer than extreme ion charges anyway

[dusk pumice]

well, sure, but making a rechargeable battery/power cell out of that. How safe can it really stay after a bunch of recharges?

[latent kettle]

well i would say its not made with traditional battery production techniques

[dusk pumice]

sure, it's scifi, but even in the future, how could you make it not deteriorate?
The game doesn't include that because it's not fun to deal with. But how safe can it really stay?

[wild patrol]

how many ||blue keys do i need to use in total||?

[hybrid axle]

where can i find|| cyclops engine fragments outside of the crash zone|| since i dont wanna go anywhere near that monster

[craggy otter]

Underwater islands wreck

My personal fav

[hybrid axle]

where can i find that

[craggy otter]

Do you know where is the underwater islands biome?

[hybrid axle]

no but i found a guide ty tho

[craggy otter]

No problem

[hybrid axle]

one more question is it on the islands or near them?

[craggy otter]

On the islands

Hi everyone! It's amazing how, despite having the opportunity, after so many hardships in my life, to play new games on PS5, I always end up playing this game that was given to me during the Covid pandemic on PS4. I don't know. Every time I play it, I always find something to do, and even today it still sends shivers down my spine when I'm in the darkest and most dangerous biomes. Do you feel the same way? P.S. Please keep in mind that I don't speak English but I use a translator.

[wild patrol]

do ||power leeches|| attack to cyclops with engine powered off?

[final rivet]

safest way to get to sunbeam landing site, every time in my other playthroughs, i always end up getting jumped by reapers

[vast bridge]

I play occasionally. I have two real playthroughs. One in 2018 and another in 2022. But I playtested this game so much that nothing is scary anymore. Maybe SN2 will bring back the thrill.

[vast bridge]

Yes.

[vast bridge]

West side.

[final rivet]

mk

[vast bridge]

As long as you aren't behind the island the reaper shouldn't get you.

It can clip inside the cave under it sometimes though.

[final rivet]

thats what happens sometimes

im pretty sure when i used freecam i saw it on the west 😭

[vast bridge]

They can move, but they don't originally spawn there.

[final rivet]

may the ||precursors ||be with me

🫡

[blissful shuttle]

what are some things to try on a second playthrough after completing the story i wanna get back into subnautica after a while

[final rivet]

scanning everything

making a base in alot more biomes

making the perfect base

learn how to bath with reapers

[fathom yacht]

Hi! This game still manages to surprise and scare me. And I think that once I've finished playing it on PS5, I'll also buy the mobile version, which is the version I haven't played yet. And if a PSVR2 version comes out, I'll be ready to play it there too. 🙂

[wild patrol]

is it better to use cyclops shield or get power eater on cyclops?

[vast bridge]

You can use it once quickly and they'll be gone.

They aren't necessary a problem, especially if you have the thermal upgrade.

[scarlet cliff]

a botl o waa

[vast bridge]

You can also remove all power cells but who does that.

[vast bridge]

Playing in VR is certainly an experience.

[scarlet cliff]

ye, even better if it's pc and you add return of the ancients mod and go to the void

[vast bridge]

To give you an idea they drain your energy at a constant rate, 0.05 units per second per ||larva||.

The Cyclops has 44 attach points.

So 44 ||larvae|| maximum. 2.2 units / second. Which is pretty rare unless you really don't use your shield / knife at all.

[fathom yacht]

Imagine coming face to face with a ||Reaper||, but in VR. A thrilling, heart-stopping experience guaranteed!

[fathom yacht]

@vast bridge How was your experience as a Playtesters? I'm asking because I'm also very interested in this role.

[vast bridge]

Pretty good. We had sessions of one hour one or two times per week. During them we were asked specific questions about a functionality or trying to test if bugs were really fixed. I created a lot of bug tickets, but it wasn't an obligation. I'm an unusual case. Now they have an outsourced QA company doing that mainly.

I created more than 700 bug tickets.

Both games included.

[fathom yacht]

1. What is QA?
2. So it will no longer be possible to become a Playtester?

[vast bridge]

Quality Assurance.

They might recruit community playtesters once the game reaches the early access. I don't know.

What I know is that at the time of SN1 and BZ, community playtesting were all they had.

Then at some point in BZ's lifetime they brought the outsource.

As well as creating their own QA department.

[fathom yacht]

But then maybe even you, who are already a playtester, won't have the chance to test SN2?

[vast bridge]

Current playtesters worked on the previous games that's correct. We are not playtesters recruited for SN2.

They have an User Research Study currently.

Which is a form you can fill to answer questions.

And it might include playtesting new projects. Or not.

But it is different in the sense that it's more of a research group.

To help them identify which kind of game people would want to play, things like that.

Not a playtesting SN2 group.

More information there: #announcements message

[fathom yacht]

I've already participated in that survey, too, precisely because I hope to become a playtester or collaborate with the team in some way. At this point, all I can do is hope the developers sense my passion for this game and consider offering me the opportunity to collaborate with them in some way in the future.

[hybrid axle]

how do i go down w the ||cyclops|| its too advanced for my little mind

[vast bridge]

You can check your keybinds. But on PC it's C by default.

[hybrid axle]

ty

[thorny obsidian]

best upgrades for seamoth?

im using the reinforcement one, the one for storage, radar and energy efficiency

cuz as far as I've heard the torpedos are mid

not to mention that you can literally just get out and use the stasis rifle

[hybrid axle]

not that far into the game but i really like the solar charger , power stays at 100 when youre exploring while its day

[rough zephyr]

whats little bro doing in here?

question, is it a good idea to disassemble my base at lifepod 5 to move somewhere else like the lost river?

and how deep is that?
