subnautica-2-chat

[heady tulip]

Creature variants like this are incredible I love them

[green island]

That's a baby right there and it looks grab size

[deft cipher]

It has a little bit for some creatures iirc, the other day when I was working on setting up the creature spawns for a mod I was working on I came across an oculus that was comically tiny which I found amusing
It might've been one of the mods I had installed's fault but none of the mods I had installed (pretty much just modder utility mods, nothing with actual content) should've been able to effect creature size like that
Programming can do weird things sometimes though

[main plover]

I don't remember exactly but it was something like, each time you saved and reloaded, certain creatures would increase in size slightly
And it took a while to notice because people would be like "that's kind of big right?? ...no..."

[swift kraken]

Okay that might not be normal lol

[flint sentinel]

Waterslug appreciation

[main plover]

But then QA had some screenshots of giant giant fish

[flint sentinel]

I live for shenanigans like this.

It's reminding me of the flying tadpole incident

[drifting crag]

It being slow and progressive is the best outcome

[pastel moth]

not sure if this was related but we saw some footage of the twin fish that seemed larger than normal

[flint sentinel]

Please tell me they ended up with giga waterslugs xD

[swift kraken]

QA team got to take a lunch break that day I guess

(As a reward)

[ocean night]

YES hahah I was so happy when I saw that

[deft cipher]

Just cleared out all the mods and spawned a clump of oculus, seems like its normal size variation 😭

[swift kraken]

I knew it! I’m not crazy!

[rare surge]

That very much looks like an unfinished water surface lol

[swift kraken]

There’s actually a bug where the world tree gets 0.001% larger with each build but nobody has noticed yet because it’s already so big

[deft cipher]

Someone help him hes so tiny

[flint sentinel]

I can jst imagine canonising it as like, "fish grow exponentially on [redacted] moon"

[rare surge]

Epic April fools prank: replace every single model in the game with the peeper

[swift kraken]

You are the youngest oculus ever

[rare surge]

It was born at a very young age

[flint sentinel]

Yeah, I think it might be test for lower graphics settings or something

[swift kraken]

It’s so awesome I can go 4 years without playing Subnautica and randomly remember fish size variation (I am sick in the head)

[flint sentinel]

My understanding for this bug was that the base ran out of power so it stopped holding the Tadpole in place in its moonpool. And then the moon pool just be an floating off into the sky exponentially.

[drifting crag]

or the mothership, the frog, called for it

[flint sentinel]

Its actually trying to reach the gas giant, hahhaa

I'm still curious to disect these 5 pixels

Something something "I'm sure MatPat will enjoy analysing this frame by frame"

[dull finch]

I never understood the point of the Oculus

[flint sentinel]

Funny purple peeper variant

[drifting crag]

immense bloom on the tadpole for dramatic effect

[dull finch]

Yeah but it's just a paper with different legs and no beak

[fervent aurora]

well variants never hurt anyone
the halfmoon already has more variants than the peeper

[deft cipher]

Its a display of a real life phenomenon, when two populations of the same species get seperated by external factors into two different environments they adapt and evolve differently for those separate environments

Not to mention the purple is just more aesthetically pleasing for the jellyshroom caves

[flint sentinel]

My thought is it could be the graveyard biome..? Would line up with Anthony saying the colour has changed, and how Obraxis has said the steam screenshot locations look very different now

[flint sentinel]

Or perhaps it's simply somewhere/something that would be a big spoiler

Hence why Anthony cropped it

[fervent aurora]

i feel like that orange light would be something like fire, but we're underwater

[flint sentinel]

Lmao

[deft cipher]

It is possible tbf

[swift kraken]

When I play SN2 for the first time I hope to keep a physical log of stuff I find before I know what it’s actually called

[pastel moth]

my first impression is that maybe it's not underwater

[swift kraken]

I’m going to have to go lockdown mode to avoid all spoilers between release and the weekend when I can play

[torpid tendon]

the humble tadpole

[flint sentinel]

..but... The tadpole

And the water bubble trail-

[deft cipher]

I do think its underwater but to be fair the seamoth is designed for sea and space, could be that the tadpole's in the same boat

[pastel moth]

rofl, I honestly didn't recognize that as the tadpole but you're 100% right

[swift kraken]

-2 aura points for Cerbi

[dull finch]

Yeah but peepets are nowhere near the jllyshrooms

[flint sentinel]

I dotn think the Tadpole is though, it uses turbines for propulsion afterall.

There is no gas or liquid to be pushed out of the way in space.

[pastel moth]

the way the props are glowing threw me off

[fathom adder]

looks like it's glowing from some sort of lava/magma zone out of view

[red harbor]

I don't like how little fog there is here
It doesn't look underwater at all to me.

[quartz lake]

I imagine the cicada brought tadpoles with them to explore zezuras lakes

[pastel moth]

this is a concept drawing and not an in game screenshot

[deft cipher]

Peepers are in the biomes surrounding the grassy plateaus (surprisingly not in the grassy plateaus itself though), the Oculus are most likely the descendants of a group of peepers that wandered further than normal and wound up stuck in the jellyshroom caves
The PDA entry in-game also says as such

[dull finch]

They're separated by like three biomes

Creepvine Forests and Grassy Plateaus

[deft cipher]

Depending on how long ago the oculus adapted (presumably a very long time ago considering how evolution works), the planet's geography and the distribution of organisms was likely very different

If we go by the current geographical layout of the crater though, there is an entrance to the jellyshroom caves right at a drop off between the safe shallows and the grassy plateaus though

Honestly this cave opening here seems like a prime spot for a school of peeper to wander down and get trapped after some shifting rocks close off the opening

[swift kraken]

They built Subnautica in a CAVE! With NO ROCKS!

[strange spruce]

Whatever it is, it looks fantastic

[strange spruce]

Toggleable option in menu? That would be pretty funny to actually play with

The one on the right is fine, just kick it a few times and it'll back up to it's usual purring self

[hollow vault]

i hope they use some of the scrapped ideas for biomes from subnautica 1

[swift kraken]

How many more actual good scrapped biome ideas for Subnautica 1 could there be

[flint sentinel]

So like do we all agree this is most likely the Angel Comb that we get our digestion gene from?

[swift kraken]

Regardless, the new concepts for SN2 look very cool

[strange spruce]

As for actual use I think they were for detecting when Electric Geordies had started interferring with your bases electronics and acts as a buffer before base critical features were knocked out.

[hollow vault]

yeah

[quasi flame]

Good morning chat. Anything new?

[hollow vault]

idk but i just really like the idea for the Single Cell biome and it seems like a good fit with the dna stuff in 2

[deft cipher]

Tbh most of the Subnautica 1 biome concept art that isnt obviously directly linked to anything actually in-game is sorta just general alien ocean, seems less like concept art meant to portray specific biomes and moreso is just stuff meant to establish a general art direction for the more well defined environments

[hollow vault]

its 10.35pm for me 😭

[deft cipher]

Midnight here

[swift kraken]

Meh, the single cell biome never seemed that interesting to me. Feels like it’d be extremely disconnected from all the other biomes and would be very gimmicky

[fiery eagle]

11:36 here

[hollow vault]

im talking about the idea for this biome specifically

[deft cipher]

Omg thank you, I've never understood the single cell biome hype
It seems to me like itd just be a weird flat area with a solid black floor that kills you for exploring, which seems pretty much antithetical to what actually makes the game and its environments interesting

Itd be a cool environment for a movie or a book or something, but for a nonlinear exploration game like Subnautica it doesnt seem like itd fit very well

[hollow vault]

i dont really like the idea of it attacking the player i just think the conept of a biome thats all one organism intresting

[swift kraken]

Perhaps the bloom will scratch that itch for you

[hollow vault]

bloom?

[deft cipher]

Imo theres better ways to do something like that than the visual we see for the Single Cell Landscape
A biome dominated by some mushroom-esque superorganism could be cool, something like the Humongous Fungus

[swift kraken]

Also called blight, it’s the evil white fungus looking stuff we’ve seen in a lot of the videos

[swift kraken]

Oh yeah didn’t they already do this with the hivemind in BZ

[lime heron]

bro please release a release date

[deft cipher]

Sorta, those were separate organisms that all linked and communicated together iirc

[lime heron]

i cant wait any longer

[strange spruce]

The colour palettes in each of them seem fairly cohesive within each image, like this one will have red/ purples, and pinks, this one will have biege, blues and oranges; this one will have yellow blue and pink. Second one seems sort of like what if everything was round. Third one seems like the most fleshed out as a biome instead of two or three plants/corals and some algea.

[swift kraken]

Stay tuna’d

[lime heron]

im trying bruh i cant wait

[deft cipher]

The final Dive Into The Legacy video's coming out in a little under a week, since those videos are meant to reflect on SN1 and get people hyped up for SN2 we'll probably get the release date around the same time that series ends

[lime heron]

also, is the release date in may true or not? ive seen a lot of stuff about it

[silent oak]

speculation and rumors

[brazen pine]

My prediction is next thursday

[swift kraken]

They’ve teased something for the end of the final DITL video releasing next Tuesday that might be release date related (but probably not an actual release date)

[lime heron]

PLEASE

[swift kraken]

I’m guessing we get a trailer sneak peek next Tuesday

[strange spruce]

What would be cool if there was some blending between biomes, like the edges were far less distinct. With plants/corals/animals intermixing in an overlap area between the too. Like a colour blend, but for a whole pair/set of environments

[lime heron]

i havent seen any videos or leaks i want to experience everything first hand

[brazen pine]

Then run from this chat.

[lime heron]

good to know

[deft cipher]

That one area from the first Dive Into The Legacy video that was entirely covered in bloom looks so cool

[strange spruce]

If we're going to speculate about it I would say June, not May given how close we are to May (even though it could be two weeks from the date of the announcement as a minimum, I would think it would be closer to 3-4 in practice.)

[lime heron]

ah dang it okay

[deft cipher]

From what I remember of the looks we've gotten so far it seems like there's a distinct purple area and a distinct orange area but the two have bits and pieces where they blend and mesh together so it looks like we'll probably get that in sn2

[lime heron]

all im hoping for is before / during summer

[flint sentinel]

I have to imagine bloom is gonna be a major mechanic when it comes to the story, they just haven't been acting like it yet.

[silent oak]

3-4 weeks would be may...

mid may

[strange spruce]

I meant 3-4 sometime after last Dive into the legacy video

[silent oak]

so.. still may

😭

[strange spruce]

As if it's that video next week and then week after annoucement. Yeah still could be May

Wait I should have let you say it again

[silent oak]

may seems the most likely

[silent oak]

huh

[quartz lake]

I smell a trailer within the next 2 weeks

[flint sentinel]

I reckon this location is the sparse Plains

In fsc ti think all of these screenshots are from the sparse plains

[strange spruce]

You kept pointing out it was may. I should have left it open ended again so you could say "so still May" one last time for comedic effect

[flint sentinel]

They all share a gloomy, murky aesthetic.

[warm lion]

make it june 1st

[silent oak]

ah, yeah that would've been funny

[silent oak]

thats a wednesday so that is technically possible

[deft cipher]

I mostly agree but I think these two are separate biomes from the rest of those screenshots, the fog here's more purple and there's a lot of that purple toothbrush looking plant in that image with the wreck

I do think this image from the steam page is probably part of the sparse plains though

Has the right rocks, has the right fog

[flint sentinel]

The "plant" is actually an anemone tower

[deft cipher]

Oooo neat name

[quartz lake]

Plant and anemone in the same sentence

Seth would be disappointed in you

[deft cipher]

Sea anemones get their names from a flower called an anemone actually

[flint sentinel]

The fog seems a bit too vibrant in the steam screenshot, but that can be hand-waved away as simply being an older version of the biome.

[quartz lake]

But sea anemones aren’t plants so there’s a difference

[flint sentinel]

I wasn't calling it a plant I was just saying plant cuz that's what they called it

[strange spruce]

#5 looks like hoodoos in the background.

[flint sentinel]

?

[quartz lake]

I think he’s talking about the black stuff on the ground

[strange spruce]

The rock pillars

[quartz lake]

Oh

[flint sentinel]

I'm also fairly certain the strange shiny stream of something on the ground is a "Tar Lake"

[stiff rivet]

fun fact these 2 biomes are right next to eachother

[flint sentinel]

I think it's the same biome lol

[silent oak]

how tf did you make that out

[strange spruce]

Sweet we can build a runway for our aircraft carries now

[stiff rivet]

areas, rather; maybe they are the same biome

[deft cipher]

You can actually also see some of the rot in the bottom right in the grasses

[stiff rivet]

that's another one of the reasons

[quartz lake]

So I guess this is some sort of bloom creature

[strange spruce]

Could just be silimar shaped wrecks. SN1 had some that had similar edges. But you could also be right

[flint sentinel]

Artie gave us a pretty clean run own of how the SN2 world is structured the other day.

[flint sentinel]

Idk, there going for a lot more variety in this game, and both images share a very similar murky water fog

[warm lion]

neat

[deft cipher]

That explains why theres so much overlap between the orange and purple areas, when I was looking around at clips a little bit ago I had theorized itd be something like that so glad to see I was right

[flint sentinel]

Ye :>

[ivory onyx]

Idk what do i do if sn2 team decides release another slop content, something like "Dive into the Legacy below zero".

[quartz lake]

How are these not included in the creatures list

[strange spruce]

Ah good to know. That sounds pretty sweet

[silent oak]

"slop" and its genuinely peak

[deft cipher]

I wouldn't necessarily call Dive into the Legacy slop

Its got some neat insight and we get some teasers for SN2

[silent oak]

the next one'll be hella important

[deft cipher]

Id rather UWE keep reminding us they're alive with stuff like Voices and Dive rather than them giving us the Team Cherry treatment if nothing else

[fossil iris]

I hope to hear a little bit more on what constitutes a "sub-biome" and if that's more so a way for them to describe POIs within biomes or what. Had no idea the "bloom" stuff was present until it was mentioned here tonight, so that's pretty interesting/exciting.

[flint sentinel]

At the time I also shared my own theory that would help sorta tie into what he's explaining.

Below zero had ssomething similar to regions, with the thermal area (Thermal Spires, Purle Vents, Tree Spires), land area (Glacial Basin, Glacial Bay, Arctic Spires) and crystal area (Crystal Caves, Fabricator Caverns).

You could even argue biomes like the Deep Purple Vents, Deep Twisty Bridges, and Lilypad Trench could all count as "sub-biomes"

[flint sentinel]

Read my message i just sent

[ivory onyx]

The "Dive into the Legacy" episodes only contain scraps of content.

[ivory onyx]

Yes because it is slop

[flint sentinel]

Okay ragebaiter

[deft cipher]

I like Dive into the Legacy because people Im acquainted with got to show up in it and thats cool

[silent oak]

1st one talked about sn2, second one talked about a subject more people should be educated on, third one was pretty entertaining because i enjoy the modding community for sn, fourth and last one will be very important

[warm lion]

rocks

[flint sentinel]

Their bio literally reads "k*ll yourself"

Please do not engage with this user.

[silent oak]

what a lowlife tbh

[flint sentinel]

ROCKS!

[silent oak]

ROCK!!!!!!

[strange spruce]

/

[silent oak]

i sense a rock person

[ivory onyx]

Why talk about SN2 if they can release it?

[deft cipher]

Cowardly behavior, developers should ONLY test their games and features in the harshest of conditions smh
The only way to test what you just made is with permadeath and amplified creature aggression while danging above an active volcano in real life

[strange spruce]

Uh you okay over there Boris?

[flint sentinel]

Seriously all the footage we've seen of The Collector in action has me squealing in my boots.

[ivory onyx]

What

[silent oak]

genuinely terrifying icl

[flint sentinel]

I'm talking about the user Vov-ed. That's their bio. And they're being rude.

[deft cipher]

Because they can't release it yet because it's not ready for release yet, just earlier they were talking about a bug where creatures kept randomly getting super massive

[strange spruce]

Oooh

[flint sentinel]

The shockwave it causes whenever it senses your presence will have my shivering my timbers

[silent oak]

ikr

[quartz lake]

It’s supposed to have its own entrance music also

[silent oak]

i hope you can feeel that

[main plover]

I don't know everything abt how the sub biomes came to be but at one point we had some very large biomes that were kind of samey
Which could get a little boring and also made navigation difficult
So there was this big concerted effort to subdivide the biomes into smaller chunks that each had a lot of unique aspects
I'm not sure how much that's player-facing at all in the actual game, people might perceive them as totally separate biomes
But we're trying to build future biomes that way now, where we divide them up and try to give different areas some specific theming and differentiation

[flint sentinel]

Oh? Citation please 👀

Was this from the storyboard

[silent oak]

swimming through sparse plains
boss music intensifies

[quartz lake]

I’ll look but I swear Seth mentioned it

[deft cipher]

I wasn't sure how much of a fan I was of the collector when we first saw its sillhouette in the reveal teaser, but the recent footage we've gotten has really sold me on it tbh

[flint sentinel]

Seriously same,

[silent oak]

exactly how i felt

[strange spruce]

Get a mod for a 4D movie theatre chair after installing it infront of your computer =DDDDD

[flint sentinel]

I like that it's not a scripted entity like the ice worm or sea emporer, the fact that it's still an actual creature I the world like the sea dragon or shadow leviathan is what's gonna truly make it terrifying

Because it's always lurking in the shadows....

[silent oak]

dont turn your back..

i genuinely can NOT wait to see the shiver's animations

[flint sentinel]

I seriously hope like, the collector can snatch our tadpole up when we're not looking.

It is called "The Collector" afterall, I assume it must collect things

[ivory onyx]

Yes its EA so you know, Ea is not fully finished game soo its mean that they can realese it in any time! The game can not be "ready for ea"

[strange spruce]

Do the biomes have some unifying plant/coral/fish/etc., or a few, throughout but then also have some different groupings in each sub biome? That would be cool to see

[flint sentinel]

Oh that's sick, hell yeah.

Reminds me, I hope the void has a music track again. Something to make us crap our pants.

[deft cipher]

UWE is a much bigger studio than it was 10 years ago and the gaming industry isn't what it was 10 years ago, even early access releases need a certain level of polish nowadays otherwise people who don't understand EA will simply think its a bad product and it'd unnecessarily damage UWE's reputation and harm the game and the studio

[main plover]

Pretty much yeah!
Some of my favorite areas are actually sub biomes that we made quite quickly, just because we made some big bold choices that look really cool

[silent oak]

anyways, goodnight guys, be civil

[flint sentinel]

The track Ben composed for BZs void is really unsettling, I love it.

[flint sentinel]

Huh, fascinating!! I'm assuming we've already seen some examples?

Would sub-biomes also be described as Points of Interest or no-

Or like, does a cave count as a sub biome or no?

Sorry I'm asking too much 😭

[strange spruce]

This is maybe an example then

[deft cipher]

BZ has some of the best music in the franchise imo
SN1 has some great tracks but BZ's tracks feel more distinct and unique in a way that makes listening to each individual part of the soundtrack very interesting imo

[flint sentinel]

I've got news for u

[strange spruce]

Goodnight!

[deft cipher]

Very excited to see what Ben Prunty has cooked up for SN2

[flint sentinel]

This was Ben's response to some posts I made asking him a few things about SN2s soundtrack on bsky

I'm so giddy and excited

[ivory onyx]

you have a point, but i don't care if some random idiots don't understand what ea is

[main plover]

No worries at all!
POIs are more localized usually, like that big coral orb with legs in the steam screenshots (we call it the spider dome)
Although I worked on a POI that turned out to be so big it was practically a mini biome haha
Also caves I think we haven't historically counted as mini biomes but practically speaking they kinda are since they have a lot of different flora, lighting conditions etc

[strange spruce]

Point Sphere of interest

[heady tulip]

Mr Hawk, when you refer to mini biomes is there any comparisons you can make to the other games or not really? Maybe like the sea treaders path in the grand reef?

[main plover]

There was a guy here a while back threatening to boycott if we don't release the game right now, you guys should link and build

[flint sentinel]

:0

Thank you for the answer!! Much appreciated!

This stuff Lowkey interests me more than leviathans sometimes, cuz the world itself is arguably the most important part in making the game feel alive :D

[deft cipher]

Tbh I think the thing I'm the most looking forward to with sn2 is the big crab dude we've seen a few times
I loooove critters that live on the seafloor and since we've already seen 2 (the crab dude and the waterslug) I'm hoping we'll see a few more by full release

[flint sentinel]

Wait- is image A or B the "Coral orb" xD

[main plover]

Hmm hard to say honestly, that's not a bad example but I can't think of others off the top of my head

[flint sentinel]

Shoot, sorry for the @!!

[deft cipher]

Oh hey its the area that gave me a massive headache when I was trying to figure out what the biomes are gonna be like in the ea1 release

[main plover]

Oh yeah I was thinking of B!
A is the first area I built when I started on SN2! ||also no longer in the game haha||

[flint sentinel]

Oof, rest in peace :')

I know Obraxis said a LOT had changed since the steam screenshots were taken but wow, didn't expect whole locations to be gone

I thought it looked cool too 🥺

My understanding has been image A was part of the Jelly Plateaus. Hahaha. It's file name was "plateaus" afterall

[warm lion]

excited for the new screenshots

[deft cipher]

Oh wait we have names for the areas?

Ive just been referring to them by their main color

[main plover]

Yeah, that was the plateaus biome, for a while it had a ZILLION plateaus so for the mini biomes push we kind of split it into thirds, left one third as-is, cleared one third a bunch so there was more open sand, and the last third got turned into a dramatic new thing
I miss my weird plateau with coral growths but the biome is way better now imo, easier to navigate, more memorable 😄

[slim roost]

do we know who the two characters from the subnautica 2 trailer are?

[flint sentinel]

We have certain names for certain biomes

All we know for sure is Coral Gardens, Sparse Plains, Jelly Plateaus, and Graveyard.

[deft cipher]

Oooooooo, very interesting
I cant wait to see the difference between my brain's current understanding of what the map's gonna be like and what it ends up actually being like

[flint sentinel]

But there's a few other locations/biomes we've seen that we're yet to have a name for

[strange spruce]

Do any of the team sculpting the world of SN2 go diving in oceans on earth?

[heady tulip]

Ooohhh I’m so excited to see the directions these new biomes go in

[flint sentinel]

Woah,, interesting!! Thanks for the info :)

[heady tulip]

I’m glad we barely have any info on what any of the biomes look like tbh

[flint sentinel]

Fudge knuckles I @'d you again on accident-

[heady tulip]

I’m so excited, It gets me excited to hear the thought process behind how the environment is being made

[main plover]

Some do! I think our world lead (level design) does, among others--I actually want to get into it now haha

[quartz lake]

There’s also the anemone crab and this guy which I guess a species of slug

[main plover]

Me too actually
I want people to be posting screenshots going WHAT THE HECK IS THAT when the game comes out

[flint sentinel]

I wonder if it's anything like the grassy plateaus, or if it's soemthing completely unique now

[quartz lake]

This might be the anemone crab

[flint sentinel]

Oh shoot I think you're right

[prisma basalt]

will sand be edible in this game

[deft cipher]

I cant wait to spend hundreds of hours just swimming around in creative and analyzing every nook and cranny of the map, was my second favorite thing to do in SN1 (second only to making mods) and it'll be my favorite thing in SN2 until 1.0 drops and the modding scene starts to grow

[slim roost]

honestly, I really hope that living biome concept from SN1 makes it into SN2, it looked so cool dude

[strange spruce]

That's cool! I've been wanting to get into it for years now; hopefully will get to try it out in the next year or so. I hope you get the chance to at least try it out.

[quartz lake]

It has the eyestalks

[flint sentinel]

Ye

[deft cipher]

We're analyzing this stuff like cryptid footage (positive)

[quartz lake]

This looks like a crab but could be wreckage

[flint sentinel]

Frfr

[flint sentinel]

I think it's a coral crab without a coral dome

[warped hollow]

maybe its a joke reference to that stickbug meme

[flint sentinel]

GENUINELY

[warped hollow]

genuinely lowkey

[quartz lake]

There’s like atleast 3 different variants of crabs in this game

[deft cipher]

One day SN2's gonna be out and we're just gonna know all this stuff and its not gonna be a mystery anymore
Thats so strange to think about

[warped hollow]

one days s2s gonna be out and we will have to put everything in spoiler blocks and its gonna be miserable

[flint sentinel]

Aside from playtesters and devs, I will be one of the most well informed individuals when going into SN2 for my first time

[warped hollow]

do you do one of the wiki-y things?

[flint sentinel]

I literally have folders upon folders documenting every bit of information we've gathered 🤭

[quartz lake]

It’s crazy how we still don’t know that much about it

[warped hollow]

so real

[flint sentinel]

Brutha I CREATED the Subnautica 2 Wiki page 🤭

[ivory onyx]

No longer relevant

[deft cipher]

Ooooooo very neat, Ive been sorta compiling stuff where I can but nowhere near that level of dedication

[quartz lake]

We haven’t seen all the ea 1 creatures and biomes still

[flint sentinel]

[warped hollow]

its very annoying making wiki stuffs without actually like making a wiki
google sheets just doesnt work. ive been using a discord server

[deft cipher]

Check out Obsidian, its a free open source text editing program thing that lets you organize stuff in a wiki-esque way
Its very nice

[flint sentinel]

The SN wiki is nice, I was rlly proud of myself when I made it.

And then some guy came in and rewrote the whole thing

[warped hollow]

mood

[flint sentinel]

Still I am a main contributor for SN2 on the wiki. I've complied most if not all the snippets of concept art we've seen and added them to the wiki page for concept art

[quartz lake]

Where was this supposed to be

[warped hollow]

wha

that aint even subnautica atp
thats like master of orion

[flint sentinel]

Lowkey don't think about it

A really talented artist was probably just told "alien arctic underwater" and this is what the cooked up

[warped hollow]

2020 sora

genai before it was ai
just gen

[deft cipher]

It was likely just meant to be a general "We need art to establish the vibes for the game" piece, but its pretty similar to the West Arctic aside from the fauna

[flint sentinel]

Ohhh

[warped hollow]

lowkey kinda fire
ive been needing a way to do family trees for a while and nothings been sticking and while this isnt quite it this is pretty good

[quartz lake]

It looks like it’d be in the methane ice caves

[warped hollow]

my best way to do family trees is like draw.io and thats pretty hard to move things around in

[deft cipher]

I remember those, tbh if the newest subnautica terrain editor ever gets BZ compatibility I should try to reimplement that some time

[flint sentinel]

Man I still remember when BZ was just a handful of generic penguin models and recoloured rock punchers walking around on untextuted white cubes

[compact jasper]

That looks like the caves under the gun island

Just less sharp and icy

[flint sentinel]

I see it

[deft cipher]

Anyone else remember the Fissure from some of the earlier BZ builds

[flint sentinel]

YES

[quartz lake]

Idk what the fridge worm will look like but I’d imagine something like creature B

[compact jasper]

How about the corridor of darkness

[warm lion]

i love A

[flint sentinel]

And the hoverzone3, and when the deep twisty bridges was just a giant cube of nothingness, and the methane ice caves, and the ice shelf

[deft cipher]

God I miss hoverzone 3, I loved its vibes

[flint sentinel]

I have a YouTube video on my channel that's jsut me exploring the biome

[stiff rivet]

I gotta get into geoguesser

[flint sentinel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Md7Uv6n3gE

Gosh remember how the Seatruck had a reverse camera?

And it was super broken cuz it never rendered the fog? So they cut it

[deft cipher]

I really wish BZ had expanded on its land areas a bit more, a couple more land critters like these would've gone a long way in really making the areas feel as alive as the underwater areas

[pliant aurora]

yes 😔

I miss it

[stiff rivet]

I do like the avalance

[quartz lake]

I wonder if the sand spear will look like the one that was meant for bz

[flint sentinel]

But then now theres the Seatruck dock, which also has cameras so you can see the the Seatruck whole you're editing its colours, and you can jsut barely see outside the docking Bay while viewing the camera... Where the fog is one again missing.

The missing fog shall forever haunt the Seatruck

[quartz lake]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/a800b422-2967-43a2-bcd7-c2ee5cb979de

[flint sentinel]

I'll never get over how the land areas in BZ felt so much like an after-thought, despite them being a major selling pointl

[quartz lake]

Remember the hover lizard

[flint sentinel]

Like despite being incredible visually, they're some of the most aesthetically pleasing locations in the whole game, yet they only have 5 unique fauna.

[quartz lake]

There’s a bunch of bz land concept art

[warm lion]

ice

[flint sentinel]

One of which is dead, and another isnt even real, it's a pseudo entity

(Frozen Leviathan and ice worm)

[deft cipher]

The Glacial Forest is such a nice area that got screwed over by having literally nothing in it fauna-wise

[quartz lake]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/7/76/Pavel-goloviy-surface-foliage-06.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20210807010352

[flint sentinel]

At the same time tho... I can see why a lot of these were ultimately cut.

Sure the land sections were part of the advertising... But you ultimately only spend like an hour up there.

[deft cipher]

I love that concept art, some of my favorite concept art from the franchise

[flint sentinel]

SERIOUSLY like CMONNN.

Still has one of my favourite music tracks.

[deft cipher]

Yeahh, they definitely could've made the land areas more enticing to go to
The big issue is that theyre all clumped together in a relatively hard to access area of the map in such a linear structure that you only really need to go there once

[flint sentinel]

Below Zero's Concept Art is why I feel sad for the game.

But you can tell a big problem was people just didn't like how it felt to explore the land segments,

I'm sure there's a chance we could've had more... But there were so many complaints.

[quartz lake]

Here’s concept art of the deep arctic https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/d/dc/ArcticZone_UnderwaterCaves_WIP03B.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20210806154754

[deft cipher]

Land movement definitely needed some improvements imo, the system worked for sn1 since there were so few land areas but in BZ the scale of the terrain just felt awkward to navigate with how small and slow you were

[flint sentinel]

I think it turned out that wasn't for anything in particular, just another "random Arctic biome"

[warm lion]

are the images supposed to be small on discord

[quartz lake]

Maybe but those bat rays are a cool idea

[bright skiff]

The Avalance has a fascinating design

[ivory onyx]

Pls do to bz chat

[bright skiff]

Looks like that Trapjaw fish thing that was also scrapped

[flint sentinel]

In your opinion do you think they're better or worse than the Arctic Rays we got?

[flint sentinel]

True,we should tie this back around to SN2

[quartz lake]

I think they are cooler since they’d seem to have more unique interactions with the environment

But I do like the arctic ray

[flint sentinel]

I know we won't get much in terms of land segments in SN2, but I still hope we ssee more unique creature designs like these

[ivory onyx]

Thanks❤️‍🔥

[quartz lake]

The original arctic ray design was weird though

[deft cipher]

That big weird coral structure thing we saw in the background above the water is very interesting imo

[flint sentinel]

We can always have more creatures like the rock puncher or the coral crab, fauna that walks along the seabed.

[deft cipher]

Im very excited to see the deal with that one weird floating portuguese man o war dude from the start of the first gameplay trailer

[quartz lake]

There seems to be a lot more of those in sub 2

[flint sentinel]

YES so am i

The blimp lookin fella

[quartz lake]

I saw someone say it has tentacles that go into the water

I wonder if it’ll sting

[last grotto]

Weird idea: a creature that lives on land but hunts in the water, but is too heavy to swim. So when it dives, it can only glide downward when swimming and needs the help of something like thermal vents to get back up to the surface. Can hold its breath for a long time though

[flint sentinel]

Alternatively so it could work in sn2, a creature that rides the waves and surface of the water, but dives down to nab food and such before returning to sea level

[quartz lake]

That’s what I thought the cryptosucus would be

[ivory onyx]

Huh?

I don't understand

[fossil iris]

I do hope that they utilize the water's surface to some capacity. In BZ I thought it was insanely cool when it started storming/hailing and you'd see the hail plop down into the water above you. Kind of offered more perspective in a way, IDK how to explain it.

[ivory onyx]

A

[flint sentinel]

I love the cryptosucus like I love a pug.

It's so ugly and stupid and dumb and silly.

But like it's so scrungly and cute

[ivory onyx]

Ok

[flint sentinel]

Agreed

[last grotto]

The issue I have with this is that it's just another generic predator. The idea of a creature living on land, but frequently diving despite it being physically unable to get back to the surface on its own tickles my brain. It's a very specific kind of symbiosis almost

[flint sentinel]

TRUE

[quartz lake]

Crazy how the devs once thought of it being able to chase you on land

[atomic sapphire]

i wish the ice dragon leviathan got added, that thing is SO cool on so many levels

[flint sentinel]

No yeah I do like your idea a fair bit, a creature that relies on the environment around it, as it hasn't adapted to water.

It just feels a little unlikely in sn2, since we know there won't be much in terms of land

[flint sentinel]

Same,,, modders lock in please

[quartz lake]

I remember when the ventgarden was almost cut

[flint sentinel]

They DID?

[quartz lake]

Yeah at one point

[flint sentinel]

It was!?

[flint sentinel]

I feel like I vaguely remember that, but it's very cloudy in my mind.

[quartz lake]

I think Cory said something about it but I’m not 100% sure

[quartz lake]

Almost

[deft cipher]

I used to stalk the roadmaps daily and it was in cut candidate for a little bit iirc

[flint sentinel]

Woah, that's crazy.

[atomic sapphire]

i love the dragon wing-like fins on it
and the jaw that opens at the same level as its eyes
and the pattern it has, etc etc GAH

[quartz lake]

Arrow ray also was almost cut

Sorry I mean Isoceles Ray

[deft cipher]

I can see why tbh, the concept of it switching between mobile and stationary when it was so massive would probably be a pain to implement
Which is why only the smaller ones move around I assume

[flint sentinel]

I remember when the control room was considered for SN1 2.0, but it was ultimately cut

[quartz lake]

Who remembers the weather room in bz

[flint sentinel]

No yeah, that's obviouslp. I

[atomic sapphire]

it WAS??

[flint sentinel]

Yeah!! They considered back porting the control room, lingered around on the trello/faveocfor a loooong time before ultimate being listed as "not important"

[atomic sapphire]

damn...
that reminds me i wish they backported all the bathroom and kitchen stuff :(

[deft cipher]

Kallie23 and the rest of The Red Plague team are working on an Ice Dragon mod rn, very much looking forward to it since BZ-focused content mods are so rare

[flint sentinel]

To be fair it makes sense lore wise... We can find that one PDA log in BZ that's seems to be describing the initial tests for the control room, implying it was designed after the events of SN1. So wouldn't exactly make sense why it'd be around innSN1

[quartz lake]

Who remembers research base kappa and “deep arctic resource”

[flint sentinel]

Same reason why the land beacons weren't backported either, cuz if that one pesky dialogue line from the PDA When you craft a Beacon for the first time in BZ "Now with land support". Implying land support didn't exist beforehand, aka around the time of SN1.

[flint sentinel]

iirc Marg's base was jsut a copy and past of it too, back when it was in the Methance Ice Caves.

[quartz lake]

The old arctic biome and the old lilypads had such an eerie vibe to it

[warm lion]

we are somehow back on the bz cut content topic again

[flint sentinel]

I KNOWWW but like they're so focused on The Slop Plague that they can't work on actual peak 😔

(okay for the record I don't actually hate The Red Plague that badly, I just think it misunderstands what made Subnautica cool.)

[stiff rivet]

new lilypads is cool because it has eerie music but visually looks harmless

[flint sentinel]

Eh?

[quartz lake]

Old lilypads was just eerily empty with a sea emperor swimming around

[flint sentinel]

I don't get why people think the Lilypad theme is eerie, I think it's rlly tranquil

[deft cipher]

Yeahh, I've got nothing but respect for Kallie and the rest of her team (She's helped me quite a few times with my own mods) but I've never really cared for the Red Plague concept-wise. Its undeniably a technical marvel of a mod though

[quartz lake]

I think the new lilypads are

The old one was just eerie for me

[flint sentinel]

If you want something eerie, the listen to the song that plays when you're in the East Arctic Fissure

[quartz lake]

The deep arctic biome was just a bunch of glowwhales swimming

[flint sentinel]

"This Planet is Cursed"

[warm lion]

Subnautica 2

[compact jasper]

Well I share the same opinion about the red plague. It's still really cool though

[flint sentinel]

Well that was cuz it was gonna be the home of the the ice dragon

[flint sentinel]

Yeah... Just don't pick at it too mu h or else it will fall apart xD

[quartz lake]

Old deep twisty bridges was just an massive empty cave

It had the weird ambience always playing in it

[last grotto]

Yes but it would be the perfect creature to place on something like the mountain island. They would be the apex predators there, but can't go to other locations because of their inability to swim. Perfect excuse to limit a creature to certain areas.

Might put it on Nolt later

[deft cipher]

To be fair thats somewhat just nautilus in general, if you close to the main menu and then reopen a new game then everything'll crap the bed because of how things load in and register
Subnautica modding is a fragile and delicate thing

I wish my SSD didnt kick the bucket a few weeks ago otherwise I'd share some of the earlier code from my Rising Waters mod because that stuff was horrific

[compact jasper]

You made a mod?

[deft cipher]

Yeah, I made the Rising and Deeper Waters mods
They're pretty much canceled though because I lost all the assets for em a few weeks ago
Working on some new stuff now and I'm actually gonna be releasing something tomorrow

These two mods

[quasi flame]

What did I miss?

[pallid marsh]

Does anyone know when we getting confirmation if sub 2 is coming out in may any time soon??

[quasi flame]

Check the pins

[crisp berry]

Does anyone know if sn2 is coming before august

[pliant aurora]

we're getting confirmation on may 14th
(if we don't have a release date then, it won't be may)

[compact jasper]

Aw man... that looked cool. I'm interested in seeing what you've been working though

[stiff rivet]

true

[stiff rivet]

I think it's likely

[rustic comet]

When was this told to us?

[compact jasper]

Yeah we're playing this summer

[deft cipher]

Here's a couple screenshots that I shared earlier today in the modding server

[quasi flame]

Schrödingers UW

[deft cipher]

Whoops wayyy bigger of a message than i thought lol

[pliant aurora]

we know we'll get at least a 2 weeks notice before the date. there is simply no time after the 14th for may

[compact jasper]

Looks cool

[west sparrow]

was anything leaked in the new episode? like the release date of sn2?

[compact jasper]

True

[compact jasper]

No

[smoky hatch]

When we announce a release date it'll be on the store page, I doubt you'd miss it

[stiff rivet]

leaks are unintentional, a sneak peek is intentional

and everything in all their videos is intentional

[pliant aurora]

it wasn't necessarily told, so much as it can be deduced
although, obligatory; it IS just speculation

[quasi flame]

28th April, Trust

[west sparrow]

thank you sam

[quasi flame]

Matt still owes me gif perms after our bet about the 21st

[stiff rivet]

anyways there's new content that obraxis showed us that's going to be put on the store page so I assume there's a new trailer / release date announcement soon (?)

[cyan kayak]

İ wish ice dragon could be repurposed in some way it had a complete model and everything

[west sparrow]

was the 3rd episode about the mod red plague? i didnt watch it yet but my cousin talked bout it

[stiff rivet]

and there's new content in the latest DitL#subnautica-2-chat message

[pliant aurora]

oh, right

[raven pagoda]

what makes you think that? im js curious since they said they would announce a release date 2 weeks - 1 month before whatever the release date is if i recall correctly

[deft cipher]

It was about modding in general, but it had a focus on The Red Plague iirc

[stiff rivet]

I went through the gameplay parts frame by frame

[west sparrow]

nice, thanks

[cyan kayak]

Why do we have bacteriophage lol

[pliant aurora]

that's the neat part, no clue

[deft cipher]

28th is when the last DitL episode releases and since the series is meant to be getting folks hyped up for the release while reflecting on sn1, it makes sense for the release date to be announced around the time DitL ends
Not sure I subscribe to the april 28th theory exactly but some time around then seems reasonable

[stiff rivet]

I'm certain the last DitL will not have a release date in it

[deft cipher]

Yeah, I dont subscribe to the 28th april theory but some time in the days after the 28th seems reasonable

[raven pagoda]

oh so you think he meant 28th would be when the release date would be revealed and not the game release?

[stiff rivet]

if they announce anything in that last video it'll be that they have a trailer coming soon; that trailer will have the release date

they are not going to show the release date with anything less than a trailer

[west sparrow]

probably a month or 2 weeks before the game launches on early access we will get the release date, or the release trailer

[deft cipher]

Im guessing we'll get a trailer announcement in the video, the trailer will be the week after the video, and then the release date'll be 2-3 weeks after the trailer

[quasi flame]

So, I just feel like the devs have been REALLY hinting at the next ditl. I expect the release date to be revealed there. And we know ditl is weekly, so the next one is on the 28th April

[pliant aurora]

I don't think the release date FOR THE GAME is in the ditl finale, what I do think could be in, is the release date FOR THE TRAILER

[quasi flame]

A lot of hype for a trailer, don’t you think?

What if the ending is THE TRAILER

[warm lion]

i think we are overhyping the release date reveal itself

[stiff rivet]

why would they do that

[pliant aurora]

personally I'd love it, but I think that would be bad marketing

[quasi flame]

For the funny

[stiff rivet]

"for the funny" is a horrible way to throw away a huge amount of publicity

[pliant aurora]

people watch ditl, sure, but they watch it like people play below zero
there are few people who care....
but most don't give a single *

[quasi flame]

A single what?

[lean schooner]

I also feel like the release date will be revealed at the end of the last episode of DitL

[pliant aurora]

okay that's maybe a bit harsh and overblown, but like, not really

[pliant aurora]

a single something that'd get me smited

[raven pagoda]

yeah what i see realistically happening is the last ep doesnt even reveal anything release date wise but narrator or whoever is just gonna say smth like "stay tuned for more subnautica news" or wtv

[quasi flame]

Say it

[quasi flame]

The devs are saying there’s gone be something „big“ at the end of the ditl

[raven pagoda]

where

[pliant aurora]

I wonder if it'd be an instamute. I would think so

[quasi flame]

Give me like a minute.

[west sparrow]

i think before sn2 releases like ACTUALLY release for early access they will probably mute this channel because people will probably be very hyped

[raven pagoda]

oh so this is what some of you have been saying about the devs hyping the last episode

[stiff rivet]

mr juan taps

[lean schooner]

Now im 75% sure that the SN2 release date will be revealed at the end of the last episode of DitL

[pliant aurora]

we'll be getting a 5 minute slowmode 😭

[west sparrow]

true

[smoky hatch]

Why would we mute this channel? We like people being hyped and excited for the game, it means we're doing something right 😄

[pliant aurora]

it will NOT be readable

[raven pagoda]

okay i see now

[meager wagon]

Sometimes that's a good thing.

[stiff rivet]

make a waterslug channel for us to chain waterslug

[pliant aurora]

waterslug thread when

[stiff rivet]

am I missing something what does hair washing have to do with DitL

[raven pagoda]

bro bladder fish were my favorite now they are gone

[quasi flame]

A lot

[raven pagoda]

everything

[meager wagon]

He doesn't know...

[stiff rivet]

next thursday isn't good timing I'm busy 🥀

[west sparrow]

Sam, the thing is other servers mute channels because people spam, like 10-5 minutes before update, so i think thats why you would mute it 🧐

[stiff rivet]

and won't have access to my 4k monitor to do frame by frame analysis

[pliant aurora]

it could just be him joking with context

[stiff rivet]

wait thurday?

interesting, so he's not talking about DitL

[warm lion]

https://subnautica2.nolt.io/newest

[drowsy prairie]

I will be very happy when this game comes out

[last grotto]

I think it's a ruse. Obraxis is a robo, he doesn't have hair to wash

[compact jasper]

Uhhh who was that on the qna then?

A proxy?

[stiff rivet]

what are you talking about that's clearly an android

[compact jasper]

Oh

DBH style huh...

[warm lion]

Subnautica 2

[compact jasper]

This changes everything

[dull finch]

[flint sentinel]

Did anyone else notice this??

[stiff rivet]

they are definitely going towards a more circle + hexagon inspired ui

more circles and round things

[dim lake]

When does it release?

[quasi flame]

#subnautica-2-info has everything you need

[flint sentinel]

The boarder around the subnautica 2 logo changed between the last devlog and the last VfB

[bright skiff]

Astromech droid*

[abstract frost]

I think it's gonna be a livestream with the release date maybe

[flint sentinel]

As Ffuzzy said, it's rounder. But it's also darker, too.

[quasi flame]

Obraxis washing his hair stream does sound fire tho

[fathom adder]

💀

[stiff rivet]

or rather nothing

since there is no release date

[stiff rivet]

they reversed the color gradient too

[flint sentinel]

Also I was gonna say earlier my opinion on The Red Plague is that it feels a lot like "how much horror slop can we throw at the wall, and how much of it sticks?" vs mods like RoTA, CotV, and TPE.

[low zealot]

I like The Red Plague because my friends made it

[quasi flame]

Bro is flexing

[flint sentinel]

I think the red plague is impressive and a great showcase of what can be done when lots of modders come together for a big epic project.

[low zealot]

The scale is amazing, even if the content isn't my cuppa tea

[flint sentinel]

It's jsut the premise of TRP that I'm not a fan of

[flint sentinel]

Exactly. Like it's impressive what they've accomplished but I'm not a fan myself.

[low zealot]

I wonder if they'll want to expand it to SN2 in the future

[stiff rivet]

but like.. I play stuff for how good the content is not how much of it there is

good in my opinion obviously

[low zealot]

I think there needs to be a balance

[flint sentinel]

In my opinion it just doesn't feel... Like subnautica? And I'm sure that's kind of its goal but like, it just feels like it'd belong better in a different game. Or rather it feels like they've taken concepts that'd feel suitable in other games and just shoved it into SN1.

It's a lot more focused on "how much blood and gore can we put in subnautica" rather tan trying to tell a story that feels baked into the Subnautica world.

[low zealot]

I think part of the goal was to make Subnautica but in a different genre, and I think they succeeded

[flint sentinel]

And again that's not necessarily a flaw, it's just simply not what I'm looking for

[flint sentinel]

Indeed, but that's also like saying "let's change the thing you love most about subnautica" xD

For context, what I love most about subnautica is it's aesthetic and vibe. The atmosphere of this gorgeous alien ocean, where there's also danger lurking around any corner.

[stiff rivet]

I am a game purist, I play games as they were intended by the creator 🙏

[bright skiff]

Agreed 100%

[stiff rivet]

if the game is bad without mods I just don't play it

[bright skiff]

Not a huge fan

[flint sentinel]

What I wanna say is

How cool would it be to have a team as dedicated and as talented as the folks working on TRP... But if they tried to make a modthst tried to properly feel like an expansion of the Subnautica world. Or even an expansion of the Below Zero world.

I'm super excited for RotA, plus CotV and TPE are looking crazy impressive.

[pliant aurora]

I'm not sure what the intention behind it is, but I wanna just share some of my thoughts
for what I think it is, it perfectly fits subnautica. it's not supposed to feel like subnautica. it's supposed to feel weird and off. it does that perfectly well. "more blood and gore" would fit into another game "better" but then it'd be boring. for subnautica, it's being so far from the status quo, that gives it it's charm.
now, I personally do not really find the mod interesting, but I can perfectly see HOW one would be intrigued

[flint sentinel]

You just said it fits subnautica and then in the very next sentence you basicslly said it doesn't. XD

[pliant aurora]

it is a good mod for subnautica, because it's so different to the game.
would the mod feel like anything if it was for something already full of gore?

[ivory onyx]

How are you all today?

[pliant aurora]

good, thank you.
you?

[pliant aurora]

it's hard to articulate, but I just don't think the mod would be all that interesting if it wasn't made for subnautica.

[ivory onyx]

I'm good too thanks

[flint sentinel]

I understand what TRP is trying to achieve.

It's just that what I personally look for in mods is like.. Actual attempts at feeling like something you'd realistically see as DLC for the game.

[flint sentinel]

The appeal of The Red Plague is "look at all this horror and gore that we've put into a vibrant and beautiful game"

[flint sentinel]

"Look at hor dark and terrifying we've made this once gorgeous and pretty game"

[pliant aurora]

yeah no I agree. it's absolutely not a mod I would play, but I easily get why other people would like it

tbf, I don't play modded subnautica anyway, I've tried the prototype, but that's it

[flint sentinel]

At least that's how I feel.

And again, that's why I prefer mods like RotA. Sure it's... "Look at this massive leviathan we've shoved into subnautica" but then there's so much more.

And I know TRP has more to it than just horror and gore, but that secondary stuff feels more like an afterthought from the playthrough I've seen.

[bright skiff]

What's TPE

[flint sentinel]

How was it? I've been looking at experiencing it for my next modded playthrough, don't want any major spoilers tho

[flint sentinel]

The Prototype Expansion

[bright skiff]

Never heard

[warm lion]

subnautica 2

[flint sentinel]

Shoot I'll send in DMs them

[pliant aurora]

I liked it. there were a couple things I was confused at and had to look up, but otherwise it felt very faithful. eg, the mod telling you where to go was felt very base subnautica-y to me

[flint sentinel]

Good to know, since that's what I look for in a subnautica mod

I feel that old socknautica mod is also an example of where I draw the line.

[royal geyser]

Is there a confirmed month or date for sn2 to come out or any teasers

[bright skiff]

Not really

[flint sentinel]

Before december

[pliant aurora]

same with the sub. I could even see it in the actual game, and it's not anything absurd like those flying seamoths or whatever, it feels pretty similiar to the cyclops, maybe a bit better even

I don't have much else to say, I didn't get that far

[flint sentinel]

That's how I feel about the SEAL.

Looks rlly cool lol, feels like something I could see in vanilla subnautica.

I do hope the devs are taking note from all this amazing modded big subs,

Then again it's jsut as likey SN2's big sub is something completely unique that we can't even predict.

(There we go I brought things back around to SN2 naturally)

[pliant aurora]

I wish architect technology was visibly integrated somehow in sn2. I don't really care where, it just LOOKS cool visually
though I'm not really sure how to do that without it feeling out of place

[flint sentinel]

One easy way woulda been making the new hatches have a green rim.

[pliant aurora]

even just the fact that there's only one in a world tells me it's going to be unique

[stiff rivet]

it is integrated into a lot of the stuff we have already seen

the respawn mechanics, probably the scanner, the base hatch

[flint sentinel]

I assume you mean like with the design of the ion batteries and power cells, the recylotron, teleportation module and tether tool, and the quantum locker?

[flint sentinel]

But there's no visual sign of it.

It's just the same blue, orange, white, black that's always been associated with Alterra. None of the iconic architect green and grey

[pliant aurora]

something like that, yes. but again, I am a bit worried that there would just be a green tablet somewhere or something, although I trust the team not to do it like that.
kinda like you said, I think a hint of some green glow on the hatch or something would be cool

[flint sentinel]

Like it wouldn't feel super out of place if the rim of the hatch was green instead of blue, no?

[iron merlin]

Isn't there a pic where the scanner has some architect tech

[flint sentinel]

That's wayyy old

Super old steam screenshots, very much scrapped content

In the gameplay trailer alone it's already different

[pliant aurora]

I don't know what is too much to ask, but I want it to feel like the alien tech is seamlessly integrated into the tech already, instead of like, say, having an ion cube out in the open

[pliant aurora]

(but this is like 2 years old)

[ivory onyx]

It would be cool if it was possible to customize the backlight color on the base.

[flint sentinel]

Like this is proof of just how OLD those screenshots were hahahaa.

That and how the location in that screenshot was jsut fully cut. Foulhawk confirmed as such earlier today.

[pliant aurora]

and that entire place doesn't exist either

[flint sentinel]

Interesting, the battery orientation changed ever so slightly.

[warm lion]

the little dot pointed down is better

[flint sentinel]

Agreed

[unreal cloud]

Man what, the location looks so cool

[stiff rivet]

they changed it to a radar that shows things you have yet to scan

[flint sentinel]

Yes,

[unreal cloud]

Did they give any indication as to why it was cut?

[flint sentinel]

Nope

[warm lion]

ah so the scan thing isnt in the bottom right?

[pliant aurora]

I think that scanner is a rather fine example of what I mean in regards to the architect technology. there's a hint of the green with mostly alterra.
although, I'm not sure how I feel about that design otherwise. it's just... off
but best not to judge a 2 year old pic

[warm lion]

no green

[flint sentinel]

Ight, this is the most recent iteration of the scanner when in an idle state

[pliant aurora]

I know.. 😔

[flint sentinel]

Taken from the newest DitL

[unreal cloud]

If they are cutting seemingly polished locations like these, I do get slightly worried, I hope maybe it makes it in at a later date

[bright skiff]

The tools look more compact and smooth

It's an interesting evolution

[pliant aurora]

I'd prefer the scanner slightly bulkier, but I think that's just me

[flint sentinel]

I think the problem is they ordered it wrong.

It's not that the location was "cut", but rather it's evolved so much form how it was that it's basically unrecognisable.

[bright skiff]

And it makes sense too, all excess space is removed

It's realistic

[fervent path]

Art is a very iterative process, and that goes for level design too. It's also important to keep in mind that a lot of the polish in that screenshot is visual, which carries over to any new location using those assets by the nature of level building

[dull finch]

Still confused on what this is supposed to be

[bright skiff]

I have never met you before but your name is extremely based

[dull finch]

WAIT
This is under the coral tree

[stiff rivet]

it can't be

[stiff rivet]

because this zone is still in the game

[dull finch]

It HAS to be

[flint sentinel]

No, it's not. Cuz the area from this screenshot doesn't look like this anymore.

[dull finch]

This game sucks

[west sparrow]

are you guys taalking about sn1 or sn2?

[dull finch]

They keep changing development to disprove my theories

[flint sentinel]

Just cuz your very quick theory is wrong doesn't make the game bad >:0

[dull finch]

They time travelled and cancelled the entire biome just to spite me

[smoky hatch]

We're not cutting whole finished locations don't worry. It's mostly moving things around, repurposing locations to better fit the world and story etc. it's all for the better

[flint sentinel]

@unreal cloud this is the explanation for what happened to the location from the plateaus screenshot.

...or listen to Sam lol.

[dull finch]

I mean every cut location is just potential assets for new locations

[smoky hatch]

I don't think we've ever cut assets just reused them in different ways

[unreal cloud]

Aw, thanks for all the responses everyone

[stiff rivet]

@gaunt pasture you're green now 🎉 (reply unrelated)

[bright skiff]

The coral tree is a giant crab, you see

[dull finch]

No I'm aware you never cut assets but like scrapped locations

[pliant aurora]

it has has been changed back (was changed back almost a day ago already, not that it matters, again)

[west sparrow]

sam is probably the best dev because he only chats with the community

[flint sentinel]

🤫

[dull finch]

Yeah I still don't get what this is supposed to be and I really I'm not a huge fan of its design

[pliant aurora]

I WAS JUST-

[warm lion]

same

[flint sentinel]

It was scrapped lol

[smoky hatch]

Not even close. Everyone is great. Anthony and Artie and Seth chat more than I do too. I'm just online at a different time

[flint sentinel]

You're all awesome shush no need to compare

[dull finch]

Supposed to be like a hydroelectric sensor

But everything else that it could be retalled into just doesn't make sense without heavy alteration

You need to add a few antennas for it to be a signal type thing, need to give it a butt to make it a drill

[smoky hatch]

That was kinda my point 🤣

[dull finch]

I compare them a lot I don't know what you're talking about

[west sparrow]

No because everyone is idle or no disturb but you and lousk1516 is online

[dull finch]

We have to put all the developers into a deathmatch essentially

[flint sentinel]

It doesn't matter what this was, Anthony said it was tied to a feature that has since been cut from the game. Now they have the asset lying around but nothing to do with it.

So he wanted to gauge what we thought it might've been for.

[smoky hatch]

That's because I'm in the UK a bunch of the other people that chat here come online later

[west sparrow]

ohhh thats why

[dull finch]

What's kind of interesting to think about is planning when to release certain content for updates

If the first update was a new vehicle then the next one was a companion creature itd feel really weird

[west sparrow]

Im in the UK too kind sir

[dull finch]

The amount of consideration they have to put into pacing out what kind of content goes in which update has to be crucial

[viral whale]

are the tiktoks real, is the game launching in 2 weeks?? 🥹

[flint sentinel]

I do hope SN2 keeps the trend of themed EA Releases.

Stuff like "Castles and Coffee" make me giggle. Or "Stranger Pings" xD

[dull finch]

No stop listening to them

[dull finch]

Yeah definitely I'm a huge fan of that stuff but I also hope that they don't tell us everything that's in each update

[viral whale]

oh allright, thank you!

[dull finch]

I hope each update video isn't you have x content you have x location you have x thing

I hope it's like he's a showcase of a thing that we're proud of here's some hits to some other stuff and the rest is yours to discover

Again if they don't make those update videos with trailers like back in the day I'm going to be doing fan made versions you can't stop me

[smoky hatch]

Life tip: The answer to "are the tiktoks real" is almost always no.

[odd dove]

Y'all do we got a release day I'm seeing more and more people thinking it's coming out in may

[quasi flame]

[pliant aurora]

or the message above lol

[dull finch]

Soooo Cheney wasn't alive for all Nosferatu Film Adaptations?

[flint sentinel]

I've said in the past I'd love for like a Multiplayer QoL update called "Alone, Together" or something like that.

It'd feature stuff like suit colour customisation, slight player modification, maybe emoting, etc.

[fervent path]

Let's not forget however that these updates are all in service of the final product, which will all be experienced at once for many. So don't be too put off if they're not "paced" perfectly

[dull finch]

You're stealing Steven Universe episode names

[flint sentinel]

Exactly :3

[pulsar beacon]

"Dont get mauled together"

[west sparrow]

Mind for some tea kind sir? The weather is nice innit?

[dull finch]

Cookie Cat Update when

[quasi flame]

Even listening to the voices is a better source

[flint sentinel]

"Together, Forever"

[fervent path]

I'm starting to think you're some sort of Impostor

[west sparrow]

The voices, the voices are getting louder.

[viral whale]

there were a lot of comments on a lot of tiktoks and i got hyped up for nothing ig lol, happens 🤷

[flint sentinel]

One could even say... The "voices from beyond"

[dull finch]

Wait
We can simulate economies
I just realised...

[west sparrow]

im from britian too

[fervent path]

[flint sentinel]

I thought I was the #1 Below Zero Defender

[fervent path]

you are like little baby

[flint sentinel]

I was gonna make some joke about love at first sight but okay

I will forever hold a special place in my heart for Below Zero regardless of its flaws.

[fervent path]

sorry i had to do it

[slender olive]

Mayonnaise on an escalator in Sn2

[quasi flame]

Back in black is fire tho

[stiff rivet]

I vaguely remember that

I think unless you just induced a mandala effect in me

[flint sentinel]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate we don't have to feel bad about being excited for SN2 anymore.

The dark times are over :')

[slender olive]

It's going upstairs so see ya later

[flint sentinel]

Such a good meme

[quasi flame]

Wdym? Why was it ever bad?

[west sparrow]

Boris i played sn bz when it came out as well as sn1 on its day of release for free on my playstation, but MAN i thought sn bz was a massive upgrade

[warm lion]

what

[flint sentinel]

SAME

[west sparrow]

YEAAH

wanna do a deltaruneXBatIM

[flint sentinel]

Cuz, mentioning that you were excited for subnautica 2 was immediately met with "yeah but KRAFTON ruined it so boohoo"

[west sparrow]

crossover**

[warm lion]

well as soon as i learned the developers never changed and they want you to play it, i got over it instantly

[flint sentinel]

I wasn't allowed to be excited because I'd just hit over the head

[fervent path]

offtopic***

[quasi flame]

Oh that. Man those were some bad times 😭

[flint sentinel]

Real,,, ralsei dressed as Boris lol

[west sparrow]

man chill thats just a joke

[stiff rivet]

adjective(asterisk)

[low zealot]

I'm excited for Subnautica 2

[pulsar beacon]

Though shalt not make comedic comments in Subnautica-2-Chat

[low zealot]

Always was, stull am

[flint sentinel]

Indeed they were,, I'm so glad to be free of them.

Speaking of which, it very much feels like Dive into the Legacy is some kind of damage control in way...?

Like, it's cool but it does feel like some kind of "please seriously we do care about the history of our games, it's us the devs you love, please build the hype back up"

Or maybe I'm over analysing it xD

[low zealot]

Comedy is not allowed

[pulsar beacon]

Take your sad pills

[warm lion]

gulp

[pulsar beacon]

😶

[low zealot]

Guys this is so sad, I'll go drink a slug

[flint sentinel]

Idk it was just very particular timing, with the reinstating of the CEO and then this new series all about the history of subnautica

[pliant aurora]

so slugs are really just slang for beer now?

[pulsar beacon]

Pebbles is drinking their problems away?

[flint sentinel]

Pop his head off like the cap of a water bottle

Drink his insides

[stiff rivet]

if they are that's a very funny coincidence

[pulsar beacon]

whoa alcoholism is no laughing matter

[low zealot]

It's just not worth it anymore, man 😔 At least I know, the slug is always there for me...

[flint sentinel]

Speaking of which were at re the organs of the Waterslug

[pliant aurora]

tadpole keys.

[fervent path]

probably inside the body

[flint sentinel]

Ohhh in there

[low zealot]

The slug has a little body inside the transparent membrane

[west sparrow]

Deare boris, i shall giveth thou a boneth

[pulsar beacon]

the slug actually cant breath underwater so it pilots a mech suit

[pliant aurora]

what even is the sack for, anyway

[flint sentinel]

Pffft Lowkey imagine you could have a pair of keys for your tadpole, and that it was only your tadpole

[low zealot]

I suppose we drink what's inside the membrane, leaving them like a deflated balloon

[fervent path]

wouldn't you like to know

[pliant aurora]

YES

[stiff rivet]

after you eat the waterslug you are left with a "deflated waterslug" that has no nutritional value

[flint sentinel]

[west sparrow]

go to memes and media for a second

[flint sentinel]

Then they are just slug

[flint sentinel]

Peeak

[low zealot]

I am noticing that the waterslug is slowly becoming an innuendo for beer in this chat

[flint sentinel]

I'll have two sluggers please, but drain the water

[west sparrow]

drain the water?

[low zealot]

So like, just the slug?

[pliant aurora]

like, whatever was going on with the bladderfish, some sort of oversized swimbladder?
there are those frogs or spiders or something that form their own airbubble to breathe
I could see the slug needing an air"tank" if it weren't for the fact that WHY WOULD SOMETHING EVOLVE LIKE THAT.
it couldn't possibly have such frequent access to oxygen (or whatever gas there is) to ever evolve to only use it, right??
what is the benefit of having a massive sack of water

[west sparrow]

you dont need to fill up yo bottle obviously

[pulsar beacon]

it def seems like the water slug is in a air bubble

[low zealot]

The bladder allowed it to swim more effectively. It was an air bladder. We would use the tissue as a filter

[flint sentinel]

Its extra potent

[pliant aurora]

but it doesn't even give oxygen didn't anthony say as much??

[flint sentinel]

The water takes the edge off

[abstract frost]

Uhhh alien shenanigans

[stiff rivet]

75% AC waterslug

[pliant aurora]

oh so wouldn't it just be that again, then?

[pulsar beacon]

maybe it breathes carbon dioxide

[fervent path]

then what's your question? a lot of creatures can have sacks of water or whatever

if air isn't necessarily a part of the equation here

[quasi flame]

Also, @flint sentinel I wanted to apologise cus of what happened last time. I was in a bad mood that day and shouldn’t have lashed out 🙏

[pliant aurora]

how many aquatic creatures do though??

my question is why is it like that

[flint sentinel]

Anita,,,,

[fervent path]

there are a lot of useful things you can hold in a sack

[pulsar beacon]

you cant prove that the water slug is a slug of water

[fervent path]

more data is required

[pliant aurora]

I can't prove anything about the slug which is why I'm so annoyed by it right now WHY IS IT LIKE THAT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

[pulsar beacon]

we must locate the slug and kill it to get more data

[abstract frost]

Wait do fish drink water?

[low zealot]

I think we actually drink the water slug this time. Eating a raw bladderfish wouldn't give any hydration

[flint sentinel]

Imagine we could actually get drunk in subnautica 2

[low zealot]

Snom

[flint sentinel]

If I recall there were some glass bottles scattered about the degasi bases?

[pulsar beacon]

distorted scanner

[pliant aurora]

see so that's worse 😭
it's just walking around with a watersack
that's like if a camel had a hump of air instead of fat

[low zealot]

Cacti carry a ton of water

[pulsar beacon]

because they are in a DESERT

[flint sentinel]

Who is Anita talking about,,, what is their "hallucination", why would Sophie assume it to be a virus,,,,

[low zealot]

Yeah they're just carrying water in an environment that needs water

[fervent path]

yeah it's called lungs

[low zealot]

No wonder camels eat them

[pulsar beacon]

so why would the water slug carry water?

[stiff rivet]

but underwater

[pulsar beacon]

the water slug isnt exactly in an environment that makes it need to carry water

[low zealot]

I dunno, some science stuff Seth came up with

[pulsar beacon]

also does the water slug move?

[stiff rivet]

not ingame but probably in lore yeah

[abstract frost]

I assume it's very slow

[pliant aurora]

underwater, hump sized lungs would make a little sense though
although, I doubt camels really deal with swimming

[pulsar beacon]

it seems like it would have a hard time getting around

[low zealot]

It's probably very... sluggish

[pliant aurora]

it doesn't?

[flint sentinel]

My theory is maybe it uses its sack body as like a storage for microbial life forms to eat.

[pulsar beacon]

the water slug is farming everyone

[low zealot]

Maybe the membrane is like jellyfish and we drink solid chunks of mostly water

[flint sentinel]

It can't exactly chase after its food since its literally a slug. So maybe it catches unsuspecting krill and suck into its body then stores them there

[flint sentinel]

Idk,, maybe

[pulsar beacon]

that makes actual sense

[stiff rivet]

I don't think it does

[low zealot]

I'm not sure if it makes it any more comfortable

Look at it

I don't think I have the heart to drink it up

[warm lion]

i can see them zooming around with the foot and top fins

[pulsar beacon]

bro he seriously looks like hes piloting a mech

[low zealot]

If I drink one, I'll probably need a lot more to drink and forget

[pulsar beacon]

that dude is operating a biological mech suit and you cant tell me otherwise

[stiff rivet]

so I crack open another one

[flint sentinel]

I audibly cackled at this

[abstract frost]

I wonder if we have to use the fabricator to take the water

[low zealot]

I offended the goat, I'm done for

[flint sentinel]

Real

[low zealot]

We drink the slugs

[flint sentinel]

I assume so

[pulsar beacon]

i would imagine you could just punch a hole in and slurp it out

[stiff rivet]

stick a straw in it

[low zealot]

I think we do

[stiff rivet]

and make sure to throw the straw in the ocean when you're done

[abstract frost]

That would be painful for the slug right?

[low zealot]

Good thing there aren't turtles, more straws for me 😋

[pulsar beacon]

pretty sure that the slug needs the water to live

[pliant aurora]

we consume them

[flint sentinel]

Steve kinda reminds me of concept C from this old below zero concept art page by Alex

[pulsar beacon]

the way hes holding it makes it look like we just squeeze the water out of its mouth
which man that does not sound pleasant

[low zealot]

Pass me up a sluggy boy, I'm thirsty

[stiff rivet]

I'm imagining a bartender trying to slide the slug like a mug but it just sticks to the bar counter

[low zealot]

Woa woa woa I think we should put an end to this "thinking" thing. Brains are outlawed now

[pulsar beacon]

did my creative thinking go too far?

[low zealot]

Slide it upside down, it'll pop and wet the whole table

I wonder if we can throw slugs at each other, like water balloons

[flint sentinel]

Someone correct if I'm wrong but their names are:

Halfmoon
Bluemoon
Harvestmoon
Waxmoon

[low zealot]

And if you get hit, you get slugged

[bright skiff]

Fair enough

[low zealot]

So many moons, still no honeymoon

[pulsar beacon]

where is blood moon?

[flint sentinel]

That's actually the leviathan varient, it's evil, and eats humans for lunch. Sucks on our blood like a campire

[pulsar beacon]

drinks us like we drink water slugs

[flint sentinel]

8 is jsut a normal Geordie I believe

[flint sentinel]

Exactly

[pliant aurora]

I think so too, but to be clear, this is cerbis list, and slightly outdated(?)

[supple saffron]

More like consume

[flint sentinel]

It's missing the probably Angel Comb

[abstract frost]

What if this is the bloodmoon?

[stiff rivet]

I'm almost certain this is not the angel comb

[flint sentinel]

Also Lowkey how is 25 not the waterslug I don't get it

[pulsar beacon]

no you just get sucked dry and shrivel like a raisin

[pliant aurora]

it's just, like, not

[stiff rivet]

this looks more like an angel or a comb than that does

[abstract frost]

But like it has the same eyes

[pulsar beacon]

this looks like its going to kill us

[stiff rivet]

sir that is a plant

or some other inanimate object

[pliant aurora]

tell it to dev who confirmed they are different 😭
don't shoot the messenger

[pulsar beacon]

hey they said that about the enforcement platform
i wont be tricked twice

[abstract frost]

What if it can grab us and eat us

[quasi flame]

It looks consumable 🤤

[pliant aurora]

WRONG
sessile tunicate(?) organism

[warm lion]

its gonna close up and charge a giant laser, i can see it now

[flint sentinel]

Left is a Comb jellyfish

Right is the thing from the last DITL episode

A Juvenile Angel Comb is where we get the digestion gene from.

The pda there says "gene donor found". It then goes onto explain what genetic modification is and why it's necessary. This is probably the first time we modify our genes. Would make sense the first gene donor is the one that let's us digest things.

[pulsar beacon]

ive learned not to tamper with random planets that have sacs from no mans sky and i will not be fooled here

[flint sentinel]

Ergo, this is the Juvenile Angel Comb.

[quasi flame]

Hm. Could the collectors head also play a role then?

[compact jasper]

The blood moon is rising

[flint sentinel]

Lef image is NOT the collectors head lmao?

[warm lion]

pro tip, always mess with weird alien sacs, it cannot go wrong

[quasi flame]

I know, but it looks similar

[flint sentinel]

It does, but I doubt it is.

I reckon the PDA will teach us what's up with the collectors noggin

[pulsar beacon]

forced to eat nutriant bricks till i get angel comb

[flint sentinel]

Bascially yeah,

I also imagine getting the Angel Comb digestion gene was where the demo for the content creators ended

Since it looked to be a full on cutscene

[pulsar beacon]

wonder how long it takes to get angel comb then

[flint sentinel]

It could totally e completely wrong about all of this btw. I'm totally okay with that. I'm jsut theorising with the evidence we have.

[pulsar beacon]

if your basically on a time limit before you starve it must be pretty quick

[flint sentinel]

Like, one could argue the backgoru d of this image looks lime it's somewhere inside of a manmade structure, see the panels on the walls?

[flint sentinel]

Exactly my point, it seems like some kind of important story beat though if it's what yk ow, allows you to survive.

[flint sentinel]

Gurl

[oblique prairie]

Looks like its maybe in our base or a lab !?

[quasi flame]

Locked in

[oblique prairie]

Yo there the same as the other I seee it in the corner

[flint sentinel]

Just spit balling here, maybe this is inside of that ruined colony base guarded by the collector in the gameplay trailer.

We have to go there and deep inside the base is this thing, where we get our first gene adaptation from

[stiff rivet]

this looks like it's inside of the sampling pavilion

[pliant aurora]

"biolock" is interesting

[pulsar beacon]

that bubble kinda looks like the bubble of angel comb

[flint sentinel]

The more I look the more the surrounding area does seem similar

Question is why are we here and what gene are we adapting.

[stiff rivet]

the glowing purple orb sort of gives it away fr

[oblique prairie]

Yeah it is

[oblique prairie]

Very interesting yeah I can see that

[pulsar beacon]

this button better blow up the angel comb

[oblique prairie]

I wonder what it is

[flint sentinel]

Ive speculated from footage we've seen that there must be a whole segment at the start of the game before we crash land. Where were just on board the Cicada messing around

[pliant aurora]

I'd assume digestion
pretty hard to survive without

[oblique prairie]

Dude this is so cool

[pliant aurora]

or maybe breathing?
we do have the "juvenile angel comb nearby. potential source of digestion gene"

[oblique prairie]

Swim faster ?

[flint sentinel]

I'm aware, that's what I've bee saying.

Question is why is the "juvenile angel comb" inside the cicada?

[pliant aurora]

but those are the things you'd survive the least without

[oblique prairie]

Gil’s on our body 😭?

[pliant aurora]

why are there abandoned bases

[flint sentinel]

Unless... Wait.

What if. This isn't on board the cicada? What if this is actually inside that one base from the end of the gameplay trailer???

[oblique prairie]

It’s not the planet we were ment to go to correct?

[pliant aurora]

I can only think to that "woke up late" theory

[flint sentinel]

Colony survivors

[pliant aurora]

we crashed onto a moon at some point along the way

[stiff rivet]

it probably isn't the cicada

the cicada logo is just a stand in for anything alterra related on this planet

[slate narwhal]

The “woke up late” is becoming more and more likely

[flint sentinel]

Idk, I'm confused and everything is a mess cuz we are dealing with tiny pieces of evidence

[oblique prairie]

Maybe we got pulled in by a force of sort or transmission and ended up on a world that ppl have had labs on and been found shady research 🧐

[flint sentinel]

Exactly

[pulsar beacon]

SN1 but not aliens

[slate narwhal]

We are the first people in this moon

[oblique prairie]

What the flip it’s a moon ?

[pliant aurora]

it is a moon

[slate narwhal]

Planet sized moon yes

[oblique prairie]

I’m so lost man

Water moon ???

[pliant aurora]

wrong episode, we hear this in mayday
(this is a voices from beyond reference)

[stiff rivet]

wrong channel

[flint sentinel]

So I guess my current theory is, the juvenile angel comb was captured by the colony survivors and stored in their laboratory that's deep in the sparse Plains, guarded by a collector.

We have to go there early on in game to get our digestion gene.

Alternatively, whatever this is that's been captured and stored in the lab isn't the juvenile angel comb, but it's still something we get new genes from.

[oblique prairie]

In the trailer I swear I heard something about a signal interfering with the ship?

[slate narwhal]

NoA picked up a “Signal”

[stiff rivet]

I think it's possible that the signal was made up by NoA sort of like how HAL in 2001 a space odyssey behaves

[oblique prairie]

From the moon/planet size thing ??

[lean schooner]

I hope that in SN2 there will be something like the cuddle fish

[oblique prairie]

Sorry if I sound dumb they do a good job with story so I get mixed up

[slate narwhal]

We don’t know if it was the moon specifically, it may have been a source nearby

[oblique prairie]

Very interesting

[radiant flicker]

I wonder if something is coming out today of na

[oblique prairie]

Like news?

[compact jasper]

Doubt it

[stiff rivet]

no

[lean schooner]

Dose anyone else want to see something like the cuddle fish in SN2?

[stiff rivet]

not really

[lean schooner]

Why?

[stiff rivet]

like the cuddlefish was cool I guess but it felt kind of weird that you had to hatch it

[pulsar beacon]

there will always be a pet

you cant get rid of the pet in subnautica

[radiant flicker]

Ye

[stiff rivet]

I feel like if you want to interact with the animals you should go out and just do that not make one yourself

[oblique prairie]

I heard somthing abt pets on yt

[stiff rivet]

for example glow whale

I prefer stuff like the glow whale to the cuddlefish

what are they cooking

oh shoot that was actually just added

[prime olive]

so possibly early access at May?

[stiff rivet]

don't get mad if it doesn't

no promises

[radiant flicker]

What that

[pliant aurora]

I don't think it means anything, but the timing of gemma taking the mod role back is... interesting
then again, it's not like they would know to take it at this time anyway

[radiant flicker]

@tame spoke hi

[stiff rivet]

I'm more interested in the QnA bot

[pliant aurora]

I thought it looked weird
I was just looking at the collector last night

[stiff rivet]

I hate people who do this

[oblique prairie]

What on earth coud that green thing be gas ?
