subnautica-2-chat

[lapis jungle]

[abstract frost]

U got exams?

[lapis jungle]

oh wow sry

[lapis jungle]

[tacit light]

Yes, maybe somewhere after summer at least i could buy*

[halcyon kraken]

Well we won't know till something happens

[lapis jungle]

lets say idk

[waxen gorge]

when?

[pseudo night]

unless you want it to catch on fire? Id advise not to do that

[tacit light]

I thought 2026 meant mid-spring/summer or something like that.

[abstract frost]

source: 🥭

[halcyon kraken]

Fires fun

[lapis jungle]

dw its a thinkpad so no fire

[halcyon kraken]

Oh the Thinkpad is superior

[lapis jungle]

it will survive the fire

[tacit light]

and initially the announcement was for 2025

[quasi flame]

I just use Dell.
Or at least „used“

[halcyon kraken]

I think I also use that idk

[waxen gorge]

yep it seems like that's the case

[lapis jungle]

idk

yes i hope

[halcyon kraken]

Yeah and well with all the info we've been getting recently it just feels right but we'll have to wait and see

[tacit light]

By the way, I haven't been chatting here long. Does anyone from the team come into this chat? Do they communicate with the players?

[lapis jungle]

but i think they have to find a publisher firts

[abstract frost]

I hope we get more sn2 clips in the next ditl

[halcyon kraken]

Yes a lot of them do but from my experience it's mostly Anthony

[halcyon kraken]

Im pretty sure they're publishing it themselves? Correct me if wrong

[halcyon kraken]

Anthony is the goat btw

[lapis jungle]

yeah but uw is small

[obtuse roost]

did yall know that if SN2 releases it realeses?

[halcyon kraken]

No I didnt

[misty holly]

Question do you think in reguards to cooking special meals there will plant based foods to cook in the fabricator?

[fading fossil]

so when does sub2 come out?

[lament bridge]

omg whaaaaaaaaaat

[tacit light]

No, how did this happen?

[obtuse roost]

3 business years

[fading fossil]

MORE LIKE 5

[halcyon kraken]

We've talk3d about cooking stuff but nothing's been confirmed

[lament bridge]

the silksong is real

[obtuse roost]

ur right

[fading fossil]

but srs when?

[glad forum]

What abt the early access like not final game

[lament bridge]

in 8 years

[halcyon kraken]

Two thousand twenty six

[fading fossil]

yeah im talking abt early acces

[lapis jungle]

tomorwoo

[placid marsh]

Trailer next Thursday mark my words

[obtuse roost]

im guessing prolly a month or two

[glad forum]

Nah subnautica 2 is for this year but like which month we got any prediction?

[eager bane]

Bro every time that i thinx about subnautica 2 i just go on there youthub and just watch there videos

[swift kraken]

General Battuta (Senior Narrative Designer), Anthony (Creative Director? Idk he's the boss basically), Obraxis (Community fella), foulhawk (I don't remember what he does) and others like uly and Donya are in here pretty frequently

[misty holly]

I love using the term
"Soon TM"
Patience purges bugs.

[lapis jungle]

today

[obtuse roost]

1 or 2 months thats my prediction

[lament bridge]

i love the reaper when its reaping my soul

[main plover]

No one ever remembers what I do

[halcyon kraken]

I've only really been around when Anthony's here but awesome! Nice to know multiple are here

[abstract frost]

U forgot my goat Sam

[swift kraken]

Art person right?

[placid marsh]

Rocks

[halcyon kraken]

HEY YOU SHOWED OFF THE ROCKS like a week ago

[waxen gorge]

Foulhawk is level designer I think

[placid marsh]

I think not

[lapis jungle]

does uw still use unity or what

[abstract frost]

Animation? I forgot

[placid marsh]

Artist of rocks or something like that

[tacit light]

Maybe ask him???

[swift kraken]

I believe Ben Hale is the rock guy

[obtuse roost]

ue5 for sn2

[main plover]

I am a rockman

[bold basin]

don't forget the occasional aryon invasion

[eager bane]

W

[lapis jungle]

oh

[waxen gorge]

Level Designer right? 😅

[main plover]

nope!

[swift kraken]

Multiple rock people??? Is that allowed?

[halcyon kraken]

Ben is THE rock guy I think but foulrock foil is also rock

[tacit light]

something like sigma 🗿

[abstract frost]

So do you place the rocks or do you make the rocks

[main plover]

I make the rocks and also place them

[lapis jungle]

oh dman

[placid marsh]

🔥🔥

[misty holly]

I did always love looking at lead chunks in S1.. please add them as decor items!
That and titanium. Not sure why.

[swift kraken]

I think my dream job would be placing the rocks but not making the rocks

[main plover]

I make less rocks than Rock Ben but I am working on some rock related stuff right now

[halcyon kraken]

How preposterous

[main plover]

I do more organic env art

[lapis jungle]

will they be colourful

[placid marsh]

Do you also place grass

[main plover]

These rocks will not be colorful

[main plover]

I do!

[swift kraken]

I remember you making the one oblong spheroid with the tentacles I think

[main plover]

I did make the tentacle guy

My greatest work

[halcyon kraken]

Is there much red colored plants?

[obtuse roost]

grassy plateus in sn2 confirmed?

[main plover]

There are many plants of all colors

[bold basin]

bro is the goat of touching grass

[main plover]

Wait

There are no plants

[abstract frost]

plants?

[swift kraken]

Foulhawk you need to watch what you say or you'll get lectured again

[waxen gorge]

Can we have quantum rocks that move on their own from time to time and open certain otherwise closed caves

[main plover]

I lied

[placid marsh]

Seth will get you

[tacit light]

Asking the game developers for information about SN2

[halcyon kraken]

All.my theories are wrong

[abstract frost]

too late, you're getting fired 🥭

[main plover]

I think another game already did that

[swift kraken]

Hm... sounds familiar

[dawn nexus]

No lemonade

[quasi flame]

Before anyone starts complaining about something stupid that the devs apparently did, remember what a wise man once said 👇

[swift kraken]

Foulhawk are you an Outer Wilds fan

[misty holly]

Whoa.... tbh ive always wanted to know more about the plants in general how to use them to my advantage ect.

Blender is hard to learn though. Im such a noob atm.

[obtuse roost]

do yall know if the shaders isnt just psot proccesing and will also allow u to change the waves cuz i dont like it

[swift kraken]

Very important question for determining my internal dev rankings

[main plover]

Outer Wilds is in my top 5 all time games

[waxen gorge]

Yeah the outer wilds with quantum moon shards

[bold basin]

hell yeah

[halcyon kraken]

Also remember don't ping the devs cause that's not very cool

[placid marsh]

Foulhawk how many hours do you have on SN2?

[bold basin]

based dev

[swift kraken]

Your status is rising...

[obtuse roost]

fr it slows the deveplopment down by 1 nanosecond and we cant afford the wait

[tacit light]

Foulhawk, can you at least name the time of year in which Subnautica 2 will be released?

[eager bane]

It 2026

[placid marsh]

This year

[obtuse roost]

would be great if we got a month

[pulsar flume]

i hope sn2 is like subantica 1 where on the surface all you see is water and not like icebergs like below zero

[thorn cradle]

Or a month

[abstract frost]

They probably don't even know the exact year of full release
It's going to be around 2-3 after early access tho

[tacit light]

I'm talking about early access, the release is far away.

[main plover]

142.9 hours in the Steam build
In the editor, I have no idea, probably eight trillion

[placid marsh]

Peak you have almost as many hours as me

[misty holly]

Tbh if i could id intern at subnautica 2 just to pick up on those blender skills. You can quote me on that.

[pseudo night]

almost 150 hours on a game that hasnt been released is peak

[abstract frost]

That's a lot more than I expected

[obtuse roost]

i got more than yall (198 hours)

[main plover]

I think some devs have a lot more than me, Obraxis definitely does

[eager bane]

That mean the game is good

[proven maple]

So ... you placed 18 rocks, crashed a bajillion times and placed an unknown number of stones

[main plover]

True

[pulsar flume]

foulhawk can u put below zero on sale rq

[tacit light]

If the average player spends +- 50 hours, then why shouldn't a dev spend 140? I think it's normal.

[placid marsh]

You need to build one tadpole for every rock you placed

[pseudo night]

Was he named Obraxis because of the ship or was that before he adpoted the name

[eager bane]

He is not the owner lol

[obtuse roost]

wha-

[main plover]

I think the planet was named after the dev

[tacit light]

Do you have a personal life???

[misty holly]

Whats your personal favourite thing youve made in subnautica 2 that you can reveal thus far? Perhaps even something others may not notice...

[main plover]

And I do not have the keys to our Steam account

[fervent aurora]

multiple planets were named after devs

[pseudo night]

It was a planet not a ship I didn't know that?

[dark imp]

no, where buy?

[fervent aurora]

planet foulhawk when

[obtuse roost]

dude thats 124 days of ur life just playing subnautica

[pulsar flume]

there is NOT that much content

[main plover]

obraxis prime?

pretty sure that is a planet

[waxen gorge]

One of the devs is called Zezura?

[abstract frost]

Imagine the subnautica moon is named like anthony or something

[dark imp]

erm, what if it's Left4Dead

[pseudo night]

thats sick

[halcyon kraken]

If I got to like work on smth like subnautica I wanna do cool nature things cause plants are cool

[abstract frost]

Even worse

[eager bane]

Lol

[tacit light]

I think all the hours spent on Subnautica were well spent.

[dark imp]

well it's coop, modded server mostly

[obtuse roost]

i mean ur not wrong

[pseudo night]

I hope the drop is harder than I just fell and I fell hard ash

[eager bane]

Ammm

[halcyon kraken]

I'm gonna fall harder to make the drop hardwr

[fervent aurora]

i feel like his last name would work better for a planet/moon name

[misty holly]

I remember my first time touching subnautica 1 and getting in 20 hrs lol

[tacit light]

Same

[gaunt pasture]

Gallegos is a pretty good planet name

[halcyon kraken]

I have like 80 hours in subnautica but on my PC just like 18

[hidden orchid]

just a question is the may window for subnautica 2 real or not ???

[abstract frost]

Imagine sn2 takes place on obraxis prime..

[pseudo night]

I have at least 300 hours across switch ps and pc

[slate narwhal]

Pretty sure people were on Obraxis prime

[dark imp]

For real now, this is Below Zero. SN1 is 293h

[plucky relic]

Isn’t it the one where everyone was offed with weapons so the fabricator only makes the survival knife

[obtuse roost]

it cant be that peak bro

[pseudo night]

yes

[abstract frost]

Oh forgot about that

[gaunt pasture]

And now it doesn’t make survival knives because survival knives aren’t good enough for survival

[dark imp]

A lot of it is playtesting. Repetition

[waxen gorge]

Did you spend lot of those hours on Snowfox?

[halcyon kraken]

I shoulda bought BZ when it was on sale sigh

[runic hollow]

AY Yo wasnt subnautica two meant to come out early 2026? or am i crazy

[slate narwhal]

Crazy

[runic hollow]

crap

[tacit light]

They were joking (haha (not funny))

[dark imp]

no, never. It's a misunderstanding of "early access 2026"

[pseudo night]

caught in 4k

[quasi flame]

Very wise indeed

[halcyon kraken]

The evidence is gone

[quiet cedar]

Can we not please, stick to the topic

[misty holly]

You know. I could see a short subnautica 2 demo being really nice for sales~ build testing~
Roam too far and get eaten.

[tacit light]

I don't know, but I was still expecting that if the early release was postponed, it would be in 2026 EARLIER.

[dark imp]

either damn way, it's real soon now ™

[waxen gorge]

The person in the upcoming video is Last Bacon right?

[dark imp]

yes I spotted him. And another guy

[eager bane]

I bet they will tell us on there next last video on next Tuesday but I might be wrong here chat

[subtle shell]

U make animation for subnautica 2 ?

[dusk vortex]

Hey Obraxis !

[quiet cedar]

I make things

[halcyon kraken]

I mean I believe it

[runic hollow]

next vid is last vid?

[dark imp]

And stuff too?

[pseudo night]

Well Im headed out to play with the wifey bye guys

[slate narwhal]

I do that to sometimes

[eager bane]

That what the video said

[compact jasper]

Yess me as well

[waxen gorge]

Did you contact Fan the Seamoth guy for one of those comunity videos? Dude is making seamoths every day lol

[runic hollow]

so the end is near

[subtle shell]

Things.... Things.... Nothing like the forest dev ?

[quiet temple]

😨 this is terrifyingly awesome

[halcyon kraken]

I wonder what this will be about 👀👀👀

[slate narwhal]

They’re here because they want to be, we aren’t disturbing them, Not at the moment anyway

[abstract frost]

I assume this is a voice log

[deft plover]

I actually love that we got some gameplay 🙏

[quiet temple]

Sounds like there is only one more of these episodes coming out? excitedness

[eager bane]

Ya i went on the video and it says on the next last episode

[misty holly]

I was just about to ask about telipathic creatures ehm.
Having that pda hack on sub 1 was very clever via mesmerfish.

Also i would love. Loove to use those sample containers somehow. Or carry more of them..

[pseudo night]

Let the goat cook

[quiet temple]

‘Dive into legacy’ episode 3

[quiet temple]

I love this tho

[crimson pine]

hey i heard that the game is supposedly coming out this may? is that truth or just a rumor people are talking about?

[quasi flame]

I am kinda disappointed that everybody (including myself) are only talking about the gameplay at the end of the new ditl.
I didn’t see a single message about the actual topic the ditl is about

[eager bane]

Rumor

[quiet temple]

Pry a log picked up in game…? If not that’s even awesome-r imo. Either way, I’m gonna love this storyline

[crimson pine]

a okay i though so thank you

[drifting crag]

It's unconfirmed, this discord has all up to date information

[halcyon kraken]

I was talking earlier on the red plague stuff I've been really into that mod for like a year now

[deft plover]

I pray we get a release date next ep

[eager bane]

Ya i hope because the last one

As the video said

[quiet temple]

Unconfirmed. They said they’d give us at least 2 week notice? So if the final ‘dive into legacy’ episode releases, say, by late next week, I would expect a minimum of 3 weeks or longer

[deft plover]

It would be nice, connecting with the community like this and then giving us a release date

[drifting crag]

Hopefully the people of the subnautica modding discord are discussing the non-sn2 parts of the video plenty

[deft plover]

Would be awesome

[misty holly]

Hm. Lore thought. We do know IF the anicent races take any samples of creatures... would they of purposefully transported them to other worlds before the labs were contaminated?

[quiet temple]

3 weeks later-September is likely. (Due to law stuff) But nothing is confirmed

[halcyon kraken]

I think modding for SN2 will be even better then SN1 at least imo I feel like it'll be easier to

[drifting crag]

I wouldn't expect a release date in anything less than a dedicated announcement video/trailer, but we might get a release era or release vibe

[deft plover]

I keep rewatching the gameplay at the end of the episode, this game looks so good dude

[eager bane]

Ngl same

[quiet temple]

Seeing the brawler fish things looks cool. Looks pretty good already

[quasi flame]

Also, what the hell are Bio ghouls?

[deft plover]

I love how it looks, even though it’s just the shallows, it’ss amazing

[onyx egret]

my prediction is we get a release date in mid may

[eager bane]

Ya same because the game looks done

[deft plover]

I really hope 👏👏👏

[quiet temple]

I’m feeling sooner than later, yeah. But who knows

[slate narwhal]

It’s nowhere close to done

[eager bane]

Fr

[icy void]

Oh really

[quasi flame]

Wrong channel

[primal turret]

wrong chat brohemian rhapsody

[quiet temple]

Good reality check. More creatures to come! 😄

[onyx egret]

thats new
im stealing that

[eager bane]

Ya i kuow that i am just saying like it look nice and everything looks done

[quasi flame]

Jojo reference…
And a great song too

[icy void]

Ohh I did not see below zero

[halcyon kraken]

What mindset do you go through to come up with these names

[deft plover]

Hmmmm

[eager bane]

[primal turret]

that one

[quasi flame]

That’s not new tho

[quiet temple]

They just released a clip of Sub2 so I feel they’re amping towards it now.

[eager bane]

It is like the video

[deft plover]

Yeah it is, I didn’t know the dna stuff would be so pivotal

[waxen gorge]

we have seen this already?

[slate narwhal]

Biomodding isnt new, the clip is

[onyx egret]

we knew the dna stuff for ages

[quiet temple]

‘Must adapt alien traits’ on a planet where this ‘virus’ has already been for a while… (I would assume) I dunno if that’s smart computer karen lol

[quasi flame]

No… #subnautica-2-info has had that info for a long time. Including small „leaks“ from devs and maybe even the steam page (but I’m kinda unsure about the last one)

[eager bane]

I mean the video bro

[quiet temple]

New video posted 3 hours ago, if you wanna watch it through yourself

[primal turret]

quite sure its this thing from the trailer

[eager bane]

Fr

[quasi flame]

You edited the message, making mine sound stupid.
Count your days

[wicked shard]

Subnautica

[halcyon kraken]

Imagine the day before Subnautica 2 releases a black hole just comes and eats us

[eager bane]

Ok 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

[slate narwhal]

Nah I saw it

[quasi flame]

he edited the message.
I’m referencing biomodding

[eager bane]

Lol it all good hahah

[swift kraken]

Good catch I think

[cyan kayak]

Yooo didn't know you guys knew about red plague

[quiet temple]

Your a sloth with an annoyed emote above you, whatever :p

[eager bane]

Crazy

[quasi flame]

You’re*

[quiet temple]

🤔 you think its from inside a ruined building, looking at it? Or is it in an aquarium kind of thing?

[misty holly]

Funny thought, in theory we may yet encounter a far more deadly edition of: or
Possibly even new kinds of peepers! Hostile or not!

[compact jasper]

That's a promise

[eager bane]

Ya i am more worried about the blurred one

[quiet temple]

Respect your local janitors! They clean up yo shiii- :p

[compact jasper]

Hello grand regent

[eager bane]

I am the empire lol

[quasi flame]

Ngl, good one

[eager bane]

[halcyon kraken]

[dusk vortex]

In the video, Cassandra appeared to be playing the game in VR.

[quiet temple]

And just like that we’re friends again.

[eager bane]

Bro they need more time

[compact jasper]

Few weeks tops, educated guess

[halcyon kraken]

I pray

[quiet cedar]

Not in VR.

[dusk vortex]

Ok that's my eyes

[compact jasper]

We've had plenty clues

[quiet temple]

No date yet.
Personal estimation for me is at least in/before September

[quasi flame]

But is it something new?

[eager bane]

I thinx you mean more then 5 months they had a delay

[compact jasper]

Just pay attention to their social media presence

[misty holly]

We may need to replicate "hang in there" cat posters for this crew...

[compact jasper]

It's still there

[quiet temple]

Fair lol. Based on the law stuff they may at least gain from having it put out before September, is why.

[pliant aurora]

Will you ever post more footage of the three playing? I'm genuinely interested in seeing more of it, when the game is released.
genuine yes/no question, no ill intent abt release dates

[compact jasper]

I bet on sooner

[eager bane]

Mainly is on Tuesdays

[halcyon kraken]

Id say it's at least before September

[compact jasper]

:p

[ocean night]

😡

[misty holly]

Hm. Personal minions. Gotta have more of those...
Id love an otter themed one. Buut aliens :3

[halcyon kraken]

Is nature not liked here

[ocean night]

I'm going to go EAT a plant

No we love nature

[swift kraken]

There is a release date for the release date and the release date is going to be released in 2026 and the game is going to be released in 2026

[compact jasper]

I think knowing makes the wait harder

[halcyon kraken]

I'm gonna steal your plant and eat it myself

[quiet temple]

well your mama raised you right at least :p

[compact jasper]

When you dont have a date you can just forget and come back later

[halcyon kraken]

Ideas

[quiet temple]

Broccoli is good for you kids :3

[swift kraken]

I think unfortunately to become an idea person you must first become a person

[compact jasper]

You dont need hope

[halcyon kraken]

Eat carrots or your a chud

[eager bane]

♧♤♡◇☆¤

[compact jasper]

Early access is certain

[thorn cradle]

yes

[compact jasper]

It's coming, this is a threat.

[quiet temple]

I have a garden guys! Calm down!
sweetens tone deceptively Now, who wants a ghost pepper?

[halcyon kraken]

Your an idea person hooray

[swift kraken]

Yeah, so it will be released in May, June, July, August, September, October, or December. Is that specific enough?

[eager bane]

Why does bro have that in his garden

[swift kraken]

2 weeks to 2 months. May is still a possibility

[misty holly]

I quietly wouldnt mind semi moonscape environments, even one indoor rockbed or soil setting, one doesnt have to have plants to make a scene something pretty. Its just more flavors.

[halcyon kraken]

Everyone in the western area of the Earth

[slate narwhal]

2-8 weeks, may is plausible still

[quiet temple]

Because someone brought ghost peppers into school once and had everyone smell the stench of death. But I was sick so I couldn’t and due to that my emotions made me get ghost peppers myself.
🙂

[waxen gorge]

2 weeks to a month long warning I believe is what was said last on account of that

[thorn cradle]

can they jzst confirm if its coming out in may or not

[slate narwhal]

Nope

[swift kraken]

It'll be confirmed when they announce a release date

[visual hatch]

hot chocolate

[swift kraken]

Everyone "just" asking for a release date because it is "just" so easy to "just" release it is being silly

[slate narwhal]

Yes

[waxen gorge]

with a new cinematic trailer

[ocean night]

I can confirm that it's coming out in May or not

[swift kraken]

I think the cinematic trailer is probably for the actual release of EA, but I am not sure

[eager bane]

Just wait for the new video coming in Tuesday i hope it good news

[quiet temple]

We need hot coco in the game! And some relaxing activity so we can actually enjoy it lol

[visual hatch]

ive been saying that for 4 days

[thorn cradle]

oh

[quiet temple]

Thank you :p

[amber quail]

Games have millions of lines of code. Now imagine you're trying to find the single missing bracket or single slightly wrong command to fix a bug. And there you have why bug fixing takes so long and is a pain and why people should stop saying MAY. :|

[thorn cradle]

well thats something

[eager bane]

He cant say it lol

[swift kraken]

I am putting my best goons on taking a screenshot of this and cropping it ASAP

[eager bane]

Nahhhh

[proven maple]

No. Just bad. Syntax errors are simple to find

[halcyon kraken]

There may be a release that may be in May but it also may not be in May so we may have to wait to see a release date in May or not in may

[obtuse roost]

atleast its something

[waxen gorge]

yeah that could work too, so release date next week in last comunity episode and then cinematic on release day?

[amber quail]

I mean, if you're a coder, you know that and probably are patiently waiting anyways. lmao. But if you're not, you don't know that. Shhhhhh.

[eager bane]

He will get fired lol

[quiet temple]

We all know we don’t know when it’s being released but we all try to figure it out. Is this some new strange mental illness… looks at NS2 oh no… lol

[misty holly]

You know with how often Altera encounters wrecks or is wrecked....
Im surprised they are not sabatoging their own insurance company...

[eager bane]

It was number 1 on steam wishlist

[amber quail]

what are you? some timeless old entity? earth ain't that old

[swift kraken]

It was announced October 2024, chill out dawg 😭

[halcyon kraken]

Subnautica fans feeling 1% of what silksong fans had to feel

[quiet temple]

Looks suspiciously do you cough work for Altera by chance?

[gaunt pasture]

Seth I have a question about the nomenclature, have you included people’s names in any of the scientific names? It’s pretty common in the real world and I see you have named characters so you could name some after their initial discoverers

[ocean night]

I have not yet

Woh Aryon detected!

[swift kraken]

Hi Aryon 👋🏻

[misty holly]

NDA contract ;3
Jk.

[gaunt pasture]

keep it in mind…

[vital badger]

Hi Aryon 👋

[spice zenith]

Yah, I joined the server to caution you about celebrating someone on the development team being fired. You may want to seriously consider the atttitude.

[quiet temple]

Well one name is Sophie. This is the limit of my education on this matter lol

[abstract frost]

Aryon without the dev role lol

[swift kraken]

Klopengumble Anititis or whatever

[quiet temple]

Can an NDA contract holder even say that? Lol

[mint ridge]

Do we know if Subnautica 2 will have more mod support/tools than SN1 and SBZ?

[abstract frost]

?

[halcyon kraken]

Son

[eager bane]

My bad boss

[vital badger]

EA wont, for full release is not confirmed

[spice zenith]

I dont care if it was a joke or not. It's rude and uncalled for and I will not stand for anyone disrespecting someone on the team. I see it again, and you will be on a long vacation.

[misty holly]

Can altera make spears using forged rods, a lazer cutter and printed knives? No.
But you can many things.
Though their products do tend to Explode when modified. RIP seaglide.

[cyan kayak]

it wont because ue5 is harder to mod

[warm lichen]

I'm not sure, but I hope the modding will be more easily accessible than in sn1 or bz, for example in a steam workshop

[quiet temple]

The last episode was somewhat about appreciating mods in Sub1, in part

[amber quail]

-awkward cough-

[mint ridge]

Well hopefully the full release will have better support for mods

[pliant aurora]

"Like with VR support right now, our focus and efforts are on making Subnautica 2 the best possible game and experience it can be for our players. Our studio was formed from a Half-Life mod called Natural Selection. So whilst we appreciate and respect all of the work our modding community do, official modding support during early access isn't something we're planning for. But we are excited to see what the modding community come up with during that time anyway."
-Waterside Q&A (note that this is increasingly old, but I don't think it's outdated)

[waxen gorge]

ikr

[quasi flame]

Hi aryon 👋
Happy to see you back. You doing alright?

[placid marsh]

Omg aryon I said today I hope you are back soon because you are so nice and active. Welcome back ❤️

[vital badger]

It’s technically off topic but Goat simulator 3 was also a unreal engine game and has several mods

Although I don’t know how much between Unreal 4 and 5 lies…

[amber quail]

I would be dying of mortification and have dug a 50 foot hole by now. Good to see team leads protecting their developers, but... oof.

[spice zenith]

Mods, please kindly keep an eye on our friend and action as needed if he again decides it's cool to disrespect someone on the development team that has gone above and beyond to communicate to the community, only to be met with vitriol.

Take care folks.

[amber quail]

Anyways

[mint ridge]

Enough of a difference where Ready or Not mods mostly all got messed up from the switch to UE5

[quiet temple]

Well Subnautica 2 is still number 1-2 on wishlists, so I think this game’ll go a good distance either way. 👍

[quiet temple]

Take care, friend

[waxen gorge]

that person is cooked

[quasi flame]

Spoke too soon

[pliant aurora]

be well

[fierce marten]

Love how steam still present outdated trailer D: I need thisss

[misty holly]

I want a collection of all the rocks on a shelf. Maybe even minis of the bigger ones? Could be fun decorating the glass tables with.

[ocean night]

Technically early access WAS coming for all of 2025

It's still coming, but it was also coming back then

[placid marsh]

There will be a new trailer together with screenshots soon. Said by obraxis

[fierce marten]

I know, that's why it hurts even more

[ocean night]

If you think about it, Subnautica 2 Early Access has been coming for the past 13.4 billion years

*13.8 sorry

[woeful glen]

what are the odds this game is gonna be peak?

[waxen gorge]

new cinematic trailer?

[eager bane]

Will you guys tell is if there will be good news on the last episode on youthub

[quiet temple]

Little collections to have would be a good addition. Ik it would immediately become my priority lol

[pliant aurora]

102% with a 2% margin for error

[halcyon kraken]

What about 13.5 billion

[placid marsh]

Yes CGI trailer

[amber quail]

Nah, nah. Deep. Not peak. Because... underwater... huehue

[vital badger]

Since I wasn’t really active in this chat the last weeks I’d like to know if there’s been an update about the creature eggs idea for subnautica 2

Is it likely we get eggs and alien containment-like stuff?

[misty holly]

I will say this alien containment needs more... custom shapes... or points of entry. Below above ect.

[drifting crag]

We will never know if subnautica 2 was coming before the earliest known time in the universe

[onyx egret]

elite ball

[ocean night]

We will not have eggs at EA1 but it's one of these features from SN1 that I'm sure everyone will ask for. Make your voice heard on Nolt!

[drifting crag]

What about hard boiled waterslug eggs?

[waxen gorge]

was there any talk about mechanic similar to time capsules coming back?

[brazen pine]

Anyone know what these are?

[vital badger]

Cooking was another suggestion one had I think…

[slim sable]

no

[pliant aurora]

Weirdly enough, that's quite an old symbol

[eager bane]

the lifepod look more bigger ngl

[vital badger]

Beacons?

[thorn cradle]

the mark looks like a puzzle p

[obtuse roost]

alien base?

[cyan kayak]

new plant or coral looks cool

[waxen gorge]

I'd say new beacon icon

[halcyon kraken]

I wanna go swimming in the deep ocean and say hello to the things on the ocean floor

[eager bane]

fr

[pliant aurora]

I think we need to think about this as players, especially new players.
That doesn't really tell me "beacon here" yknow? It's some funky tech-y stuff

[brazen pine]

Some other things I got.

[slim sable]

CONSUME?

[vital badger]

It looks a bit like a compact constellation of base pieces

[waxen gorge]

it has similar priority to lifepod signal but different from player signal, at first I thought maybe it was solar panel but why would they need signals, so I'm inclined to think it is just fancy beacon icon

[cyan kayak]

really insteresting

[thorn cradle]

the water slug is like the bladder fish i think

[fervent aurora]

anita's dialogue is concerning

[cyan kayak]

was it confirmed if there was going to be virus sheninigans in this game too?

[lapis jungle]

woahj who is anita??

[thorn cradle]

i think

[waxen gorge]

maybe the virus is taking over Noetic Advisor? maybe it's the rogue AI that was mentioned or maybe it is the big coral tree starting to communicate with them after DNA manipulation

[quasi flame]

No „squish water slug“ option. 0 out of 10.
I’ll write a horrible IGN review about sn2 just cus of this minor inconvenience /j

[waxen gorge]

we never had virus shenanigans before tho

[cyan kayak]

kharaa

[lapis jungle]

i mean karaaa

[pliant aurora]

Kharaa was a bacterium

[waxen gorge]

kharra is not a virus

[lapis jungle]

same concept

[quasi flame]

Kharaa 🤤

[waxen gorge]

[pliant aurora]

How so?
I very much imagine seth has very intentionally chosen specifically a virus

Rather than just throw "batreium fungus illness whatever"

[ocean night]

It’s true

[fervent aurora]

from what she is saying, it seems like the 'virus' is in HER head.

finally, we can interact with the voices in our head

[cyan kayak]

but has the same plot device capabilities

[ocean night]

Giving you penicillin for your Ebola 😠

[novel kindle]

Instead of making subnautica 2 why don’t they make subnautica 4 with twice the amount of stuff?

[lapis jungle]

yes

[waxen gorge]

But it could be virus like in PC affecting their NoA AIs?

[ocean night]

Not really, it’s vastly harder for a virus to cross species (never mind biospheres)

[thorn cradle]

if u have a rash but some cream on there

[halcyon kraken]

I wanna eat a solid brick of kharra

[hollow crown]

Famous last words

[quasi flame]

Seth, may we know if the blight in sn2 is like the real life blight, or the fictional blight?

[swift kraken]

I am going to be sad if it’s another disease plotline

[ocean night]

Think of a bacteria like a cockroach living in your computer and a virus like a virus you download from a website

Very different things

[halcyon kraken]

No I'll live with my Enzyme 42 protein shake™

[fervent aurora]

wait, people have implants right

what if something is messing with them like how it's messing with NoA

[quasi flame]

One can be eaten and the other one can’t. Noted

[normal holly]

Well i mean am sick right now so......

[thorn cradle]

so will we have a computer virus in our brain?

[waxen gorge]

so either some rogue AI PC virus affecting their tech or something organic from the new world

[novel kindle]

Subnautica 2 will have a disease plotline reportedly (inflammatory bowel disease)

[inland bolt]

Do u guys think subnautica 2 is going to be on switch 1?

[fervent aurora]

though that assumes we have special brain implants.
all battuta has mentioned is a blackbox implant and i don't think that can do anything though

[hollow crown]

You gotta craft a toilet like the one in bz

[vital badger]

Really unlikely

[inland bolt]

Boo

[waxen gorge]

I wonder if Seth has spreadsheet similar to Andy for Hail Mary project book

[inland bolt]

That’s all I got

[novel kindle]

Only half of it

[inland bolt]

What?

[normal holly]

subnautica 1.5

[novel kindle]

Then switch 3 will have 150% of subnautica 2

[halcyon kraken]

Subnautica 2 lite edition

[vital badger]

trendsetter said it might come to switch 2 in full release although those are speculations

[quasi flame]

Subnautica 2 ultra +

[lusty sierra]

why didn't the architects just eat kharaa? are they stupid?

[inland bolt]

Lowkey debating getting a gaming laptop cuz of subnautica2 and other reasons

[brazen pine]

Do you think we are gonna get that pre-order bonus furniture?

[cyan kayak]

seeing the game for a few seconds without cuts to different things really shows how good it looks it has the sn1 feeling instead of bz which is so awesome

[halcyon kraken]

Is there much subnautica merch I haven't seen too much(also hope for SN2 merch 👀)

[waxen gorge]

Why not get a gaming PC?

[inland bolt]

Too broke

[quasi flame]

Im starting to think they are indeed stupid.
Just follow Ryleys footsteps: eating infected fish

[brazen pine]

A very long time ago there was some lottery for t-shirts, but nothing else.

[lusty sierra]

i think the plushies got a rerun but i'm not sure if that's still going

[fervent aurora]

that's if they do a pre-order. they might've just added them into the game for free

[halcyon kraken]

Aw mann

[waxen gorge]

then maybe Xbox X/S?

[quiet temple]

Get too smart and you forget the basics perhaps? :p

[halcyon kraken]

I wanna throw my money at the devs

[brazen pine]

Get another steam account and buy subnautica

[lusty sierra]

i would kill for a prop of like. any of the tools

[eager bane]

Fr same

[thorn cradle]

how much do i have to pay a dev to tell me when sn2 is realeasing

[brazen pine]

or, buy subnautica mobile

[pliant aurora]

hrmm

[lusty sierra]

enough to offset the loss of their job, probably /j

[quiet temple]

How much is an NDA 😏

[halcyon kraken]

An insurmountable amount of money

[waxen gorge]

maybe AI onboard Cicada saw the big coral and crashed Cicada to get it's hands on it

[lusty sierra]

they're not going to take bribes

[cyan kayak]

lowkey dont buy it at all if it isnt a pc because subnautica games arent really good for your laptops (one of mine almost fried its card )

[thorn cradle]

aww

[vital badger]

Is Cicada an actual metaphor or just a cool name?

[slender olive]

It's a ship

[lusty sierra]

likely has something to do with the behavior of real cicadas

[vital badger]

I know

[waxen gorge]

well real life bug cicada goes to hybernate for 14yrs and the trailer mentions we travel to Zezura for 14yrs

[quasi flame]

Guys, why does the AI have to have a reason for crashing the ship.
It can just be evil and do it for its own entertainment

[lusty sierra]

as in the staying underground for years, not being noisy
(probably)

[slender olive]

Real life Cicadas get reprinted

[pliant aurora]

an NDA would cost, like
the money they'd get from having the job
the cost of wanting to do a job they like
maybe some integrity sprinkled in
that comes out to
$don't do it USD or not happening€ EUR (GPS, AUD, etc. are excluded because)

[waxen gorge]

I think it wants to infect the world coral tree

[halcyon kraken]

Kerbal space program is there on the moon

[lapis jungle]

lemme diconnet rq

[lusty sierra]

i never considered that noa could have just slammed the cicada into [unknown moon] because it was bored

[halcyon kraken]

Reconnect

[halcyon kraken]

Noa wanted to take a swim

[lusty sierra]

maybe its special interest is marine biology

[quasi flame]

Just a little bit of goofin around

[ocean night]

NoA Full Self Driving

[thorn cradle]

what is NoA

[halcyon kraken]

NoA

[pastel moth]

noetic advisor

[lusty sierra]

noetic advisor, the cicada's onboard ai

[thorn cradle]

ohh

[lusty sierra]

huh, i must've missed that one

[vital badger]

“Less intelligent systems”

[lusty sierra]

there's something slightly suspicious about noa but that orb is endearing so i don't care

[waxen gorge]

is NoA like Jarvis?

[quasi flame]

Idk, this sounds like something NoA would write >_>

[lusty sierra]

i wonder if it has a voice

[pliant aurora]

so aryon is alterra, seth is noa...

[lusty sierra]

or does it just communicate information through our pdas

[waxen gorge]

it just makes sad sounds when we do something stupid

[thorn cradle]

what if NoA is the ai ball thing in ur base

[pliant aurora]

I assume NoA is heard at the end of the base vlog

[lusty sierra]

it is

[halcyon kraken]

I want to throw the orb into the void

[lusty sierra]

let me go get a screenshot hold on

[sleek cedar]

Yo is there a release date

[waxen gorge]

2026

[vital badger]

I always wondered since the dev log what it’s supposed to be

[thorn cradle]

i guess i missed that one

[thorn cradle]

2025

[sleek cedar]

Oh word?

[thorn cradle]

yes word

[sleek cedar]

Where’s pinned btw

[eager bane]

[pliant aurora]

no yet, but possibly/hopefully the release date will be revealed next tuesday at <t:1776783600:t>
but that's just speculation

[sleek cedar]

Where is this beautiful leaked info from?

[pliant aurora]

dive into the legacy episode 3 in #announcements

just entirely speculation based on that

[ocean night]

just speculation
leaked info

[eager bane]

Lol

[ocean night]

Kojima was right. We DO need the Patriots

[sleek cedar]

Yo are u a dev?

[ocean night]

This user knows ball

[eager bane]

He is

[halcyon kraken]

Can I have some plants

[sleek cedar]

Can u leak release date to me in dm

[thorn cradle]

thanks

[waxen gorge]

I hope we have many new plants on the new planet 🥹

[thorn cradle]

donya is typing

[eager bane]

Lol bro he will not do that

[ocean night]

https://tenor.com/view/incredibles-incredibles2-disney-ew-disgusted-gif-13581278

NO PLANTS

[winter parrot]

so subnautica 2 dropping may second or not? Ive seen people talk about it and stuff

[swift kraken]

This user noa ball

[sleek cedar]

I’ll slide him a 20

[fervent aurora]

like i said, putting release date in a ditl will just take attention away from the video
I expect the release date to come in may at some point

[halcyon kraken]

I'll get plants eventually.

[wet ocean]

I was about to say "anyone with a purple name and the Unknown Worlds logo is part of the dev team."

And then that other question got asked and I deleted my entire message lol

[halcyon kraken]

I don't know you all look pretty blue to me

[sleek cedar]

Yo can I have release date I won’t leak

[ocean night]

You actually probably could get plants eventually if you found Cicada stores

[ocean night]

Yeah you'll be released from your mute on 4/21/26 10 min from now

[eager bane]

You cant just beg you kuow or ask

[visual hatch]

like as in cacao plants for hot chocolate

[brazen pine]

Hypotheically, would it be allowed to mod in the entire subnautica game into SN2?

[sleek cedar]

Gulp

[eager bane]

Nah he dont care

[visual hatch]

can i find cacao beans in there

[halcyon kraken]

I want a plant date

[brazen pine]

I have no means of doing this, just curious.

[wet ocean]

Despite how incredibly difficult that would be (different engines), we don't allow for redistribution of assets.

[fervent aurora]

chinese potato will return in subnautica doomsday or something like that

[brazen pine]

What if we created our own assets that look really close?

[waxen gorge]

But if we made our own creature or Submarine in Blender we are allowed to mod it into the game?

[halcyon kraken]

Lantern tree I miss you

[wet ocean]

We basically have three rules with modding. We're pretty lenient:

• No paywall. The entire mod must be available for free.
• No redistributing or reuploading our assets.
• Don't use our IP to train AI models or to create AI assets.

[blissful mortar]

does anyone know what type of xbox gamepass the game will be on? My friend on xbox was wondering.

[brazen pine]

How long do you guys think it will take for someone to mod the seamoth into SN2?

[vital badger]

Why actually won’t there be plants?
Just why?

[eager bane]

Proplay on ultimate

[wet ocean]

Yeah, that's fine.

[blissful mortar]

k thanks

[halcyon kraken]

I dunno ask them 👀

[ocean night]

I feel like this is getting blown out of proportion

You will find all the same things that grow in the sea IRL (or alien equivalents) in this alien ocean

[lusty sierra]

okay unrelated but i was searching for the clip where a player constructs an noa terminal and noticed something in the bottom right

[eager bane]

But idk lol

[ocean night]

You won't find any plants because there are no* plants in the ocean IRL

[blissful mortar]

unconfirmed info better than no info lol

[ocean night]

*seagrass is a land plant which went back into the sea

[brazen pine]

Thats a horizontal pod, good find.

[lusty sierra]

what are you

[fervent aurora]

i am an idiot
i didn't notice you could build dividers and doorways in rooms

[eager bane]

Fair enough

[halcyon kraken]

Well I meant like underwater like nature stuff idk what's it's called I forgort

[thorn cradle]

i saw the sign and it opened up my eyes i saw the sign

[ocean night]

It's called many things but not plants

[eager bane]

Good eye my man

[brazen pine]

Subnautica 3: Terranautica

[waxen gorge]

I think I might make my side project to learn blender and add new vehicle or a creature to actual Subnautica 2. 😃

[brazen pine]

Land - Water

[ocean night]

The lack of a unified word has actually been a huge problem because everyone internally just keeps saying 'plants' and we end up with props that look like plants

[rapid willow]

pls relase de game

[ocean night]

When we really need stuff like urchins, sea cucumbers, gorgonians, etc

[lusty sierra]

the plant situation is crazy

[halcyon kraken]

What's like the most common word you think

[vital badger]

But what about seeds you can use for the inside of bases?

[ocean night]

What about them

[halcyon kraken]

Other than plant

[ocean night]

https://tenor.com/view/no-country-for-old-men-anton-chigurh-gif-5286466036324190343

[brazen pine]

Is there any overpowered food in SN2 like the marblemelon

[visual hatch]

ooh cool flashlight

[halcyon kraken]

Lantern tree 💔

[fluid ravine]

No country for old men peak reference

[quasi flame]

Erm, #memes-and-media please 🤓

[ocean night]

You're playing with fire boover

[vital badger]

I think it would be cool to still have plants inside your base as decorative space but you can only find the seeds in the cicada

[halcyon kraken]

Throw them to the void

[ocean night]

I agree, that would be perfect

[visual hatch]

like a cacao tree

[paper onyx]

Every time I see an announcement I get excited only to be crushed by the release of another video

[vital badger]

Like seed packets which were transported by alterra

[lusty sierra]

the cicada's seed vault is just thousands of chinese potato plants

[vital badger]

Just like the degasi did

[eager bane]

Lol just wait for the last video on next Tuesday

[waxen gorge]

There won't be some island with trees and ''normal'' plants like floating island?

[lusty sierra]

manifesting 20 more videos just for you ❤️

[quasi flame]

… try watching the video. You’ll be surprised

[brazen pine]

Wait, you should add an alien seed vault!

[waxen gorge]

sorry for the ping 🫠

[ornate mist]

straight to human resources

[halcyon kraken]

NoA resources

[lusty sierra]

he has implied in the past that [unknown moon] does not have enough dry land for plants to evolve

[lilac forge]

seagrass?

[ocean night]

Keep reading

[ornate mist]

whats the most you ever lost in a coin toss?

[halcyon kraken]

The coin toss

[waxen gorge]

that's interesting 🤔 I will miss tropical island vibes tho, making a base there for the views was kinda fun

[narrow temple]

Why don't we know more about the game yet?

[thorn cradle]

The coin

[ornate mist]

corporate called

[placid marsh]

What is the latern fruit considered?

[halcyon kraken]

Because if we knew so much then it would spoil stuff

[ornate mist]

fruit

[halcyon kraken]

The best fruit of all time

[placid marsh]

Oh true

[lusty sierra]

you should check out the official subnautica youtube channel, there's tons of great stuff on there like dev vlogs, trailers and an audio drama series that takes place before the game

[ornate mist]

he means like

[narrow temple]

Or because if we knew so much we would know that it was delayed

[waxen gorge]

that would be bulbo tree

[halcyon kraken]

??

[visual hatch]

that would be cacao

[pliant aurora]

I thought the bulbo tree was like onions

[ornate mist]

core gameplay, what we will actually be doing

what we see is pretty much exclusively performative tech demos

[narrow temple]

Sure, but May is just around the corner, they should release something new soon, I don't know, haha.

[halcyon kraken]

False lantern tree has carried me through all of my play throughs

[main plover]

We released something today!

[waxen gorge]

I always thought it was like an overgrown pinepple

[dreamy compass]

And it was wonderful!

[halcyon kraken]

May isn't confirmed to be when it's releasing

[eager bane]

They will post a new video next Tuesday

[thorn cradle]

I aint waiting Till November or something

[ornate mist]

its later than that

[faint hull]

is it coming in may 🥺

[lusty sierra]

that's fair but i do think it's good to not show off too much of the core gameplay so that people can experience it for themselves

i dunno

[halcyon kraken]

Not confirmed it's just 2026

[narrow temple]

God

[faint hull]

☹️

[latent pelican]

next tuesday at 17:00 the final episode of the mini-series... and the next tuesday at 17:00... 👀

[pliant aurora]

*<t:1776783600:t>

[narrow temple]

I know that somewhere they did announce that it will be around that date.

[latent pelican]

oops

[eager bane]

It says at the end. The final episode...

[latent pelican]

you are right

[thorn cradle]

Yippie

[faint hull]

😮 subnautica 2 next week

[hoary thistle]

they did not

[narrow temple]

And what do you think the lore will be about? I haven't heard much about it. I hope the architects are present.

[vital badger]

I was glad to see a video about trp has been released as I started playing it the first time a few days ago

[ornate mist]

theres nothing after

if anything itll be another filler series pre launch

dont expect the game

[eager bane]

I mean alot of people thinx it might show us the release date but probably not but mabye more game play or something

[latent pelican]

no but everything leads to think likewise, we haven't had them debunking that, just say that they have not announce that date

[narrow temple]

Sure, but I'm saying what do you think the lore will be about?

[latent pelican]

of course not the game release, they said they would release a cinematic trailer with the release date of EA1 before EA1 actually releases

[eager bane]

Oh tbs I am not really sure

[narrow temple]

And would you venture to say that the architects will have any involvement?

[warm lion]

Hi chat

[eager bane]

What does EA1 stand for. Sorry for asking

[halcyon kraken]

It wasn't ever announced around may it was only ever like one article to my knowledge it's just been 2026 from every source the devs have said it like a lot

[latent pelican]

1st release of Early Access

[eager bane]

Idk mabye

[thorn cradle]

early access version 1

[eager bane]

Ohhhhh thx

[pliant aurora]

flashlight fragment?

[compact jasper]

There are 2 early access, one tells the truth and the other tells lies

[eager bane]

I thinx it's a fish type

[compact jasper]

Slug

[eager bane]

Oh dam

[vital badger]

Could you say there’s an aspect of subnautica 2 so far you dont like?

[halcyon kraken]

I want a compressed brick of kharra where is it

[latent pelican]

here's some info obraxis has given about the cg trailer

[pliant aurora]

I'll personally get back to this question when I HAVE THE DAMN GAME 😭

[eager bane]

Lol

[warm lion]

cg trailer in 2 weeks im calling it

[halcyon kraken]

Cg trailer once I get my block of kharra

[eager bane]

Well there is a last episode next week

Sorry lol

[pliant aurora]

I just do not see the nibbler here

[latent pelican]

we can't be sure that may 5th will be the cg trailer release, but they keep saying that if they're making announcements with less time inbetween now must be because the game is close to release, so i think there's a big possibility that when this mini-series ends the next thing we'll be getting is the cg trailer with release date for EA1 (2-4 weeks after that same trailer)

[eager bane]

Probably ya

[latent pelican]

now, if this comes may 5th or 12th or 19th we can't know

[pliant aurora]

it's just NOT waxmoon enough in my eyes, either

[latent pelican]

the cg trailer comming out may 5th still allows the EA1 to drop in may, so i would bet on it (or may 12th)

[eager bane]

If you are right I will pay you 50p

[hoary thistle]

I hope it releases in June out of spite

[halcyon kraken]

I just want my brick of kharra

[vital badger]

In subnautica 1 and below zero if you hit a base compartment with your standard prawn arm it will get breaches
If you do the same in sn 2 with the hammer do you think that the same will happen or will it just be like if you hit it with the knife?

[waxen gorge]

may 5th?

[pliant aurora]

this is much closer to the shape an colour I see, which just does not line up with the waxmoon I don't know why I'm so hung up on this

[pastel moth]

lol, my guess is still nibbler just at a weird angle

[waxen gorge]

that's a nibbler 100%

[pliant aurora]

it's a tuesday, and a week after the apparently final Dive into the legacy, but I'd personally guess the thursday, 7th, in that case

[waxen gorge]

there is a mistake in one of the names ahem 🤓

[abstract frost]

It's wednesay tho

[eager bane]

[pastel moth]

which one?

[vital badger]

It’s your favourite, right?

[pliant aurora]

...no?

[compact jasper]

Yes by far

[latent pelican]

look at #announcements, they always release new vids on tuesdays, next tuesday will probably be the last episode of "dive into the legacy" (we don't know if it will release specifically next tuesday, but we know next episode they release will be the last one)

so if next tuesday (april 28th) the new vid we get is the last episode of "dive into the legacy", then the next tuesday (may 5th) or the next one (may 12th) we might get a new vid in form of the cg trailer (with EA1 release date being 2-4 weeks after)

[livid jungle]

hey i just got a question when subnautica 2 is dropping

[compact jasper]

Soon

[pastel moth]

the only info we have is 2026

[pliant aurora]

we do, obraxis confirmed every tuesday

[waxen gorge]

Number 15 should be Spaceballs 🫠
Do you think that 16 was basically scraped? I think it is the creature we saw first but never again, while we saw marrowbreach and coral crabs later

[latent pelican]

this is a solid possibility, that if the next content drop is the cg trailer, instead of releasing a tuesday it releases a thursday

[eager bane]

I hope

[pastel moth]

nah it wasn't scrapped

[waxen gorge]

I felt like those 16 animals used to be in symbiosis with marrowbreach by providing it with sight or helping it hunt for prey

[pliant aurora]

I think if the very next drop from now was the trailer, it'd be this thrusday
if anything, I think ditl finale is 28th and trailer is 30th

[compact jasper]

Dropping a creature tier list soon as ea1 drops

[vital badger]

16 looks like a bit like a dilophosaurus

[pastel moth]

@waxen gorge read this convo

[livid jungle]

isnt it like may i heard its gonna be early may

[vital badger]

Nothing confirmed

[latent pelican]

and if it's not, it can't be far away anyways, i just hope there's a vr mod soon after release, i can't play subnautica on flatscreen anymore after completing sn1 and bz in vr 😅

it's just such a different and more immersive experience, i advise anyone having a vr headset to try subnautica vr

[waxen gorge]

awesome, so they are still in the game. I was afraid they got scraped as we never saw them again and also they didn't hang out with the shark. What do you think that lore about them is? I think they help the marrow hunt and take scraps or something

[latent pelican]

the only issue is sn1/bz having very low res textures for the inside of vehicles or rooms, sn2 should not have that issue so it will be a much more polished experience in vr

a uevr profile should release soon after launch, hopefully 6dof controllers arrive early as well

[pliant aurora]

like this is a waxmoon, but it's as if my mystery creature was mirrored and closer to neon green, rather than steves blue-ish green

[safe dove]

when the ga

[balmy cloud]

release date when

[waxen gorge]

2026

[safe dove]

that’s amazing info love you

[balmy cloud]

woah really?!?!?! who would’ve known

[safe dove]

LMAO

[latent pelican]

devs have not confirmed anything outside 2026 yet, but they have hinted EA1 release is close, maybe may/june

[stable knoll]

It's as if there's no specific date which is why they said 2026.

[waxen gorge]

glad to help always 🫠

[safe dove]

chat is not that active for a slow mode 💔

[raw vault]

im SO curious about this pda line. im thinking it’s a message from the mother and daughter in VfB and that we found the fathers pda with that message saved or something

[balmy cloud]

😕

[halcyon kraken]

People need to just chill out and wait it's 2026 just like wait 😭

[safe dove]

so if there isn’t one why say 2026 can be 2027, 2028 etc??

[waxen gorge]

I had my suspicions ngl 🫠

[stable knoll]

Because it says coming 2026.

[safe dove]

asked one time btw

[balmy cloud]

it’s meant to be may 2026

[stable knoll]

2026 is the release timeframe. The may 2026 isn't confirmed.

[waxen gorge]

naaah that can't be it xD

[livid jungle]

should i buy subnautica or wait for second

[halcyon kraken]

I'm not just saying just you it's just like been 30 people have said the same thing today

[pliant aurora]

because it will be 2026
they have a date they are aiming for, but they aren't 100% confident in it
they will only release a specific date when they can promise us they won't delay it
so far, they are only sure they won't delay it to 2027 or later

[safe dove]

mhm

[eager bane]

Both lol jk your choice

[halcyon kraken]

Honestly probably buy Subnautica 1 it's great

[heady tulip]

play the orignial 100% the 2nd is going to be in a very early acceeses when it drops

[waxen gorge]

it was few hours ago when the video droped so I think that's when they increased it

[halcyon kraken]

Sorry if I came off as rude lol

[latent pelican]

but all we've got from the devs seems to indicate it will in fact release may 2026, the thing is they said they would announce release date with a CG trailer, and we don't have yet the CG trailer, so they can't confirm or deny may 2026

[safe dove]

taking the mick

[raw vault]

the original is an awesome experience and i’d definitely recommend it. i’d say it depends how much free time you have to spend

[pliant aurora]

pretty sure slowmode has been 10s for quite a while here already
it was 5, then something dropped and it was 10, we got 5 for a little bit again, then back to 10, where it's at now

[waxen gorge]

you should have seen the chat when they anounced that knife is gone

[halcyon kraken]

Riots

[wintry summit]

…

[waxen gorge]

no knife and unkillable leviathans. it was worse that krafton stuff

[halcyon kraken]

I remember the leviathan stuff I just didn't talk much lol

[safe dove]

atleast multiplayer is coming

[stable knoll]

I just don't personally agree with saying something that just isn't provably true yet. It's a 50/50, and although I do agree that it seems like it'll release sooner rather than later, I don't want to tell people something and then end up having fed them false info.

[eager bane]

ya thats the fun part

[safe dove]

better be some cute mods

[halcyon kraken]

My chud friends are gonna blow up our sub

[eager bane]

nah dont use mods or it depends

[safe dove]

am i not allowed

[bleak sluice]

im so ready to get the gang together once ts releases

[livid jungle]

yeah i was watching subnautica when i was a kid and im thinking about buying and playing with my friend. Also how long is the game taking like to beat it

[eager bane]

sorry i didint not mean like that

[halcyon kraken]

I have like 1 friend who plays subnautica

[vital badger]

Same

[eager bane]

i am playing it right now lol

[eager bane]

i could be your freind playing it

[balmy cloud]

I wanna play multiplayer on the first game but the mod won’t work

[livid jungle]

How long is taking to beat subnautica like playing for fun not speedruning it

[eager bane]

trust one 1 week

[safe dove]

ok i boosted waht do i get

[livid jungle]

but how many hours a day

[halcyon kraken]

I dunno

[safe dove]

wait roles cute

[eager bane]

ohhhhh hmmmmmm

[balmy cloud]

I said that in caps and got warned im lost

[eager bane]

tbs idk

[vital badger]

For nitrox there are documentations online

[safe dove]

.. why can’t you speak in caps

[halcyon kraken]

I boost too cause I forgot I had one

[safe dove]

who do i ping to remove this slow mode it isn’t that active bro

[balmy cloud]

we tried watching so many vids and we just couldn’t get it to work

[halcyon kraken]

They won't remove jt

[safe dove]

omg you so wanna be me queen..

😬😬😬😬

[halcyon kraken]

No I just like pink better 👀

[ocean night]

I can help you be free

[vital badger]

Welp I don’t know

[safe dove]

ok let’s run off together into the sunset

[balmy cloud]

im gagged

[halcyon kraken]

And I also care more Abt subnautica then whatever I had boosted before lmao

[tranquil knoll]

True

[safe dove]

oh on period

[tranquil knoll]

10 seconds!?

[zealous shell]

[safe dove]

@zealous shell who you feeling like

[tranquil knoll]

[balmy cloud]

real like hello

[safe dove]

so there’s no booster channels then

[pastel moth]

lets stay on topic please, subnautica 2

[zealous shell]

Feeling as silly as a fish in an aquarium in an underwater sea lab next to a window view of the reef i used to live in, in Subnautica 2*

[safe dove]

oh mb love you queen

[pliant aurora]

off-topic has 5s slowmode, doesn't it?

[halcyon kraken]

I want big leafy plants on the ocean floor

[safe dove]

lets stay on topic please, subnautica 2

[waxen gorge]

You are playing day 1? Not waiting for 1.0?

[zealous shell]

Fixed it

[pastel moth]

yeah, day 1 for sure

[safe dove]

yes period like subnautica 2 is

[zealous shell]

Any news on Day 1, like when it'll be? For subnautica 2 I mean.

[halcyon kraken]

If I don't have the words subnautica in my sentence I get smitten

[safe dove]

yes you do like subnautica 2

[desert gorge]

Hoover Fish

[pastel moth]

this year!

[pliant aurora]

we'll have failed if we don't crash steam the day sn2 launches

[halcyon kraken]

I like water and I want my block of condensed kharra

[balmy cloud]

why do I feel like you forget how to spell the games name everytime u say it

[zealous shell]

Oh for real? Do we have an idea of what quarter?

[pastel moth]

no, just 2026

[quartz lake]

What are the chances after next weeks votb we’ll get a trailer

[waxen gorge]

nice, same. Cant wait. Gonna make so many big posts on Nolt when it starts... So far I just advocated for rubber ducks decor and a name idea, but once I start playing there will be many posts to come

[thorn cradle]

Good night yall

[balmy cloud]

ou not u being silenced im screaming

[sharp wind]

And epic games, xbox store, playstation store and whatever other ones

[pliant aurora]

technically Q2/3 seem slightly more likely than Q4 BUT THAT IS ENTIRELY SPECULATION ON MY OWN PART

[safe dove]

in caps i was re reading subnautica 2 thinking if i spelled it right and had to check the servers name to make sure 😐

[zealous shell]

[pliant aurora]

only no ps for ea1, sadly

[halcyon kraken]

Brick of kharra is a delicacy

[pliant aurora]

exactly

[zealous shell]

Not sure, but I dont know how many more dev blog notifications pings for the news channel my heart can handle.

[tranquil knoll]

They have given the game to non-playtesters,the early acces is close to launch

[waxen gorge]

because EA is near? 🧐

[balmy cloud]

I giggled

[tranquil knoll]

Possibly

[vestal garden]

when was this?

[waxen gorge]

you mean the moders and anthomnia we saw in video today?

[tranquil knoll]

2 weeks ago I think

[zealous shell]

I forget, are we getting multiplayer day 1 of early access?

[fringe stratus]

When does early access release? I’ve heard in may but I’m not sure

[safe dove]

oh so may then ok period

[vestal garden]

ye

[halcyon kraken]

Two thousand twenty six

[pliant aurora]

anthomnia and cass have the playtester role, actually
I noticed this just yesterday, but I wasn't sure if it was a new thing
no idea about the third person

[waxen gorge]

this year, we dont know the date yet

[zealous shell]

[tranquil knoll]

Yes ,if they're that confident to just give out the game to non-playtesters the early acces version one is definitely more than mostly polished

[fringe stratus]

Oh so may isnt confirmed?

[zealous shell]

Are we getting a big submarine?

[fervent aurora]

yes, later

[halcyon kraken]

Nope may isn't a confirmed date it just what everyone thinks

[tranquil knoll]

They didn't before

[fringe stratus]

Ah damn

[vestal garden]

no idea, more then likely i would say yeah, it would be a missed opportunity ti not make a multi task submarine for multiplayer but is playable on singleplayer

[waxen gorge]

I feel like next week there will be a lot of I told you so

[true nymph]

devs if you can hear me add tuna to sn2

[pliant aurora]

so I could've called something like this? damn

tuna roe on the cicada

[zealous shell]

I hope so, the sea truck was, well, it was alright. But I want a sub. In my game named subnautica 2.

[vestal garden]

i was the only one that liked the seatruck ig🥀

[pliant aurora]

we are 100% getting a big sub, that's confirmed
also there will just be 1 per world

[tranquil knoll]

Sestruck is a good submarine,the map was the problem not it

[halcyon kraken]

I want my compressed brick of kharra

[waxen gorge]

I didnt ''hate'' it but if you compare it to Cyclops....

[vestal garden]

true

[tranquil knoll]

If you compare it to the cyclops it's good

[limpid wraith]

Hi developers, can I ask one quick question about co-op? Will there be an option to find servers by language or region? This will make it easier for players who don't speak English.

[waxen gorge]

like imagine we had Seatruck in S1 and they come up with Cyclops in BZ, people would go crazy how better the cyclops is

[halcyon kraken]

I wonder how big the big sub will be considering there will actually be multiple people for it

[pliant aurora]

the returns vs losses for many modules weren't enough imo
I really hope the trident will combine the best aspects of both

[pliant aurora]

tbh *singleplayer is the primary focus, so it can't be that big

[pastel moth]

have you seen the multiplayer vlog they made?

[halcyon kraken]

True that just curious

[waxen gorge]

Anthony said he has some ideas where you have rooms that you can build what you want in them like you could have more than one moonpool to push in more tadpoles. Also it will have 2 floors so I'm thinking massive, even bigger than Cyclops

[vital badger]

Do you have an idea for a new module for the tadpole?

[tranquil knoll]

Seatruck:
Mobility, check
Size?check
Storage , check
Livable space? no

Cyclops:
Mobility:double no
Size:double no
Storage: double check
Livable space,check

[waxen gorge]

I would like to have scientific module. It would make tadpole into medium sized sub, give it scanner, walkable space that you can build in

[tranquil knoll]

Both the seatruck are good submarines, the seatruck is used for smaller adventures or navigating spaces where the cyclops can't while having storage and everything,

Trust me if I would have chosen between the seatruck or the cyclops in the lost river ,it's the seatruck

[pliant aurora]

does it actually answer the question?

[tranquil knoll]

I got stuck there so many times

[waxen gorge]

I kinda don't agree with this, but I wouldnt want to argue. However I will add that with sonar and 3 cameras I had no issues piloting Cyclops anywhere. A bit in degasi entrance to LR because of branches but that is all.

[pliant aurora]

they have the ingame friends list, but nothing about a server browser

[tight moat]

probably big, even if ifs singleplayer focused. Subnautica 1 had the Cyclops that was massive even for one player

[tranquil knoll]

I got stuck multiple times in the LR, like I had to litteraly push the vehicle

[tight moat]

i wouldnt be surprised if we get a similar size submarine

[fallow moth]

any new updates?

[waxen gorge]

I hated storage module so much as it has fixed space and lockers are just there. I would much prefer if it was emprty room and I get to build lockers in configuration I like

[tranquil knoll]

Also seatruck is faster than the cyclops (if you extract the speed nerf) you cannot compare them because they serve different purposes

[pliant aurora]

I had little issue with the cyclops' size myself (that said, my first message here was asking how to get it unstuck, but that was for a friend)

[halcyon kraken]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking and hoping

If the new big sub is bigger then the terrain would probably accommodate for it

[tranquil knoll]

Valid complaint

[tight moat]

next week we should get the last Dive in to the legacy post

[tranquil knoll]

But the seatruck serves the purpose of storage and fabrication during long adventures and not living

[waxen gorge]

I think either you or your friend makes a server and then the other one joins, there won't be their own servers

[tranquil knoll]

So you don't have to account storage for EVERYTHING

[tight moat]

and hopefully SN2 early acces relase date/teaser (not confirmed)

[fallow moth]

yeah ive been watching all of them, they are very interesting to see how everything has progressed overtime

[pastel moth]

sort of, it's clear that there aren't "servers" and that you invite friends

[pliant aurora]

the cyclops does modularity way better than the seatruck, does, though, and modularity is the seatruck's biggest driving point
no matter how much stuff you add, it's the same speed (and the cyclops is not slow, the seatruck feels much slower, even if it technically isn't)
