subnautica-2-chat

[warm lion]

the story im not personally interested in until full release, i will be playing mostly to just be in the world looking around and building bases

[small solar]

i would personally take my time to squeeze as much content out of it as possible

[heady tulip]

Wasn’t there only the Lilly pads and starting area? There was no deep twisty bridges even. And wasn’t there pretty much no on land either? I could be wrong, it had been a VERY long time tbf. I just remember feeling like I saw everything very quickly ( not a bad thing btw )

[silent oak]

ykw this is such a good idea

[slate narwhal]

Otherwise I take time to assess the environment, meaning my First play through is longer than a casual but my second is faster than regular

[slim sable]

both

[echo plinth]

scanning every single atom in the game to geek over the science and biology of everything, oh and the story but honestly it’s not as important to me

[fervent aurora]

I'm fast but usually on a first playthrough I slow down a bit to see things
once i'm done the story I have some things to go back to

[silent oak]

i'm gonna replay sn2 ea1 so much dude

[heady tulip]

Imma play real nice and slow, lots of base building

[flint sentinel]

Huh, I'd rather go straight to the aurora and then cry when I find a reaper.

Like that one meme video

[quiet cedar]

Are you all playing solo, or with friends?

[stark cloak]

take a looot of time playing thhe game exploring and i read the pda section with the data on animals and plants

[silent oak]

i'ma do that thing where i build a tadpole every day until sn2 1.0

[wintry widget]

I would build the ugliest base possible, get a seamoth (or whatever it is going to be) and just go explore the world gathering resources and looking at the beauty of the world

[slim sable]

Solo to start

[small solar]

with friends, definitely

[silent oak]

solo first off, with friends the second time

[slate narwhal]

Preferably solo starting

[swift kraken]

Solo at first

[echo plinth]

solo because unfortunately I’m surrounded by people who don’t care

[small solar]

a solo experience is nice but i can see playing with friends being the most fun

[heady tulip]

Solo at first with friends after

[warm lion]

who here would wanna play a little with me?

[plush hatch]

What are "friends", precious?

[wintry widget]

imo first playthrough has to be solo

[lyric viper]

I'd be happy with the amount Grounded 2 launched with (about 15-20 hours if you took it slow)

But with how good the base building is, probably will end up spending that amount of time on the base building alone

I really like exploring so as long as theres like, stuff to find that makes everything worth exploring it'd be great. I'd play with my friends if theyre avaliable with I am, but also make a separate solo save for later

But the people in this discord are probably the ones that are more likely to take it slow and not rush through

[silent oak]

me and shaggy are gonna grind sn2 and make the biggest base ever dude

[heady tulip]

If I play with friends imma feel like I’m rushing through the game

[fervent aurora]

my world will be solo
i'll join new or other peoples' worlds for multiplayer

[pliant aurora]

I have a deal to play with a friend, but because I fear doing nothing productive will be boring to him, I will likely spend a ton of time alone just going around by myself alone

[flint sentinel]

I'm fairly certain Delta Island existed, the kelp forests, basics of the Arctic biomes, the beginnings of purple vents and tree spires, thermal spires, methane ice caves, and the beginnings of the land biomes

[wintry widget]

same haha

[brisk pulsar]

I have convinced 2 of my friend who are terrified of the ocean to play with me. so this will be fun

[silent oak]

i just can't wait to see the game on my monitor (which i've boosted the saturation a bit on)

[slim sable]

Evil smile on Miata's face

[flint sentinel]

Probably solo, but I'd love to play with a friend

[heady tulip]

Yk nah your right I think

[gaunt pasture]

The first time I played Below Zero the Pengwings still just had the models of real life penguins

[heady tulip]

This chat has turned into my destress time

[silent oak]

thats actually hilarious, if you find any screenshots PLEASE lmk i gotta see that

[quartz lake]

Thermal spires were the only thermal area in game the vents and tree area were empty space

[echo plinth]

what the hell😭✋

[flint sentinel]

I have yet to convince friends. Im currently praying that random folks from this server might want to play with me

[lyric viper]

why would they change it

[silent oak]

a suspiciously high quality, earth-like penguin in a videogame that takes place on an alien planet

[plush hatch]

ty mr.cumberbatch for creating "Pengwings" and "Penglings" from your narration

[silent oak]

bennedict??

[flint sentinel]

If I recall they still had the textured ground

[quartz lake]

Maybe I don’t remember

[flint sentinel]

Was this like a playtest? Cuz they had their models by EA1

[pliant aurora]

Yeah, the name comes from how he pronounced "penguin" in a nature doc or something

[silent oak]

ohhh i see

[plush hatch]

Mhm, he did a nature documentary and in said documentary he was saying "Penguins" worse and worse as it progressed 🤣

[silent oak]

didnt know that bit of lore, thats so cool

[gaunt pasture]

https://youtu.be/MHVqV37TjsU?si=csdQu92RJse7WZDh

They should have stayed as un animated penguin models

Technology didn’t need to progress further than this

[lyric viper]

this is good enough

[silent oak]

LMAOO

[flint sentinel]

I remember when one of the only pieces of footage we had for BZ was a few recoloured rock punchers walking around on white cube like this

[silent oak]

omg i love this

[gaunt pasture]

Yea

I briefly did playtesting during BZ

[quiet cedar]

I did actually animate the temp models https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyi6V-0hUUI

[rapid willow]

we play 4

[flint sentinel]

Neat. I Remember you saying you were credited for it

[gaunt pasture]

Oh yeah I forgot these

[dark imp]

You killed him!

[heady tulip]

I wonder if there will be new fish that top the titan hole fish and cuddle fish as favorites

[silent oak]

peak

[gaunt pasture]

GET UP

[flint sentinel]

I desperately need some folks to mess around with

[swift kraken]

Is this never before seen footage? The ultimate Below Zero drip... (Drip = Subnautica leak)

[fervent aurora]

i might join in

[silent oak]

10 people have seen it before

[fervent aurora]

but i'm only playing multiplayer after I finish my first playthrough

[swift kraken]

Live Robin reaction

[gaunt pasture]

I had that one in my BZ playlist but I guess it was never shared outside of that

[warm lion]

🙋‍♂️

[flint sentinel]

hell yeah.

[silent oxide]

Sir Meatie, is there a channel to make requests / suggestions for S2? I've had an idea I'd like to throw their way

[flint sentinel]

Ill add yous to my list of folks

[dark imp]

uh. You know there is. Nolt

[swift kraken]

https://subnautica2.nolt.io/

[flint sentinel]

Use the nolt

[silent oak]

nolt

[swift kraken]

I almost accidentally sent the entire SN2 info when replying

[warm lion]

https://subnautica2.nolt.io/newest

[silent oak]

omg i CAN NOT type tonight someone help

[fervent aurora]

ntol

[prisma dust]

tonight

[silent oak]

nitrol

[warm lion]

i usually already have the nolt copy pasted

[silent oak]

thats not even typo'd what 😭

[prisma dust]

wait what is the discussion here

[silent oak]

AHA! another one!!

[swift kraken]

When the SN2 release date is finally out and we finally have an answer when people ask

[silent oxide]

I must have forgotten it I guess ... by the way, what's a Nolt?

[warm lion]

https://subnautica2.nolt.io/newest

[dark imp]

it's, er, a name that was available at the time

[silent oxide]

Oh, ok

[pliant aurora]

I thought I had the ditl @time copypasted, but uhhhhhhhhhh

[silent oak]

8pm mst

convert ity yourself 👍

[swift kraken]

My most popular nolts are a dynamic main menu followed by bald character customization. I am a man of many different suggestions

[silent oak]

i give uo atp

[pliant aurora]

No
<t:1777388400:F>

[silent oak]

okay

[pliant aurora]

Someone was flaming on the bald here lol

[silent oak]

my best is a yearly recap for early access

[echo plinth]

ihnmaims reference?! I SEE YOU TYPING AM

[swift kraken]

I don't think baldness deserves to be included among the echelons of bad suggestions! It doesn't even require a model! I think they just hate bald people, of which there are many in the world (I am not bald I feel I should mention)

[fluid ravine]

I was looking over the scientific names for the creatures and “sitaroid Gemini” stuck out to me because Gemini means twins and that one fish that splits into two fish is like twins

[silent oak]

huh

[fluid ravine]

I Am

[silent oak]

ah

[echo plinth]

do you think?

[fluid ravine]

I think… therefore… I… am?

[warm lion]

nah, i am

[echo plinth]

you are AM.

[silent oak]

billy eyerash reference

[fluid ravine]

We Am

[echo plinth]

I am eating 5 homeless people

[fervent aurora]

i come in and this is the first thing i see

[silent oak]

wonderful entry

[echo plinth]

y o u ‘ r e n e x t .

[hollow crown]

He’s not homeless though

[echo plinth]

he’s about to be

[hollow crown]

What does that mean???

[echo plinth]

and also lifeless too

[silent oak]

woah what

[silent oxide]

I have 'Nolted' my idea ... Now, time to upvote the 'Minerel Distillery'! Go Team!

[warm lion]

https://subnautica2.nolt.io/newest

[silent oak]

bruh

[silent oxide]

Wut

[quiet cedar]

Best place to put ideas, Nolt. We do go through it

[swift kraken]

Have you added bald player customization to the top of your list of priorities yet?

[silent oak]

nothin

i was thinking something and changed my mind

[warm lion]

i would love to see more 'assigned' suggestions

[quiet cedar]

Technically, all the characters are bald, under their hair

[silent oxide]

Awesome ... Keep up the great work 🙂

[gaunt pasture]

The community cries out for the Phylogenerator

[fervent aurora]

pretty sure stuff will be assigned once EA1 launches

[warm lion]

yea hopefully

[pliant aurora]

You should put that on nolt (/hj)

[warm lion]

itll be put in 'will not do'

[small solar]

so are all of us if you think about it

[warm lion]

technically, the moon is dry, under all the water

[dawn hollow]

So what info we gotten from this new legacy video of s2?

[swift kraken]

What if I want to remove the hair? Perhaps some sort of hair eating organism to remove it? Just something to consider. I accept payment in the form of $600 checks.

[mystic grail]

can you tell us at which time the game will release like in the evening or afternoon something like that?

[gaunt pasture]

Do you really need to know that specific

[waxen gorge]

[quiet cedar]

Thing is, if it's a morning release for someone, it's an evening release for someone elsewhere on the globe.

So really, it's all times at some point

[warm lion]

everything everywhere all at once

[glad fox]

I love the crypticness

[mystic grail]

yeah true, but are you prefering certain time zones like europe for example so it wouldn't release in the middle of the night haha

[silent oak]

most content releases have been midday for the americas

[glad fox]

Usually things get released afternoon us * time

[fervent aurora]

doesn't matter, i'm gonna be playing on hour 1

[pastel moth]

assuming steam doesn't break lol

[gaunt pasture]

Let’s hope we don’t have a Silksong repeat

[heady tulip]

How many people have sub 2 wish listed now?

[drifting crag]

There's no way it breaks steam, like it's a popular launch, but we have to be an order below silksong

[waxen gorge]

What happened with Silksong?

[mystic grail]

I guess it will like it always does, I still remeber sons of the forest

[iron garden]

Definitely solo

[gaunt pasture]

So many people tried to download it on steam at once that steam crashed

[drifting crag]

Payment processing at nearly every marketplace was at a crawl for hours

[gaunt pasture]

I think this also happened on PlayStation?

[wise karma]

im pretty sure it happened on all major stores lol

[waxen gorge]

Hello everyone

I watched the 3rd community video man it’s so inspiring

Truly is but my bum self WOULDNT be able to make a mod LMAO

Dubs tho for the Red plague team

[gaunt pasture]

Yeah the Dive into the Legacy videos have been very nice

[waxen gorge]

Certainly have been

[quiet cedar]

1 more left to go...

[warm lion]

release daaaate

[waxen gorge]

HOW MUCH LONGER THO must i wait UWE release Subnautica 2 and my life is yours

[wise karma]

very keen to see the big message at the end

[glad fox]

Lol that is the biggest question everyone has 😅

[waxen gorge]

Just 1? 🤔 I wonder what that means...

[dark imp]

Bacon was spotted

[swift kraken]

Once DITL is over we can finally begin flying into the sun

[waxen gorge]

How many more lies have I been told by the Jedi council

[swift kraken]

This one is not my best work. I’m sorry.

[drifting crag]

Feels like a bad road trip

[waxen gorge]

Bro Obraxis you can’t drop ominous statements then dip 😭

[drifting crag]

He can and does relatively often

[waxen gorge]

Why must I be played like a fiddle

[warm lion]

it wasnt ominous lol he just said there was one left

[quartz lake]

I’m going to assume we’ll get a trailer one week after the final episode

[pliant aurora]

1 could be
Week (trailer thursday)
Video (release after ditl)
Uhhhhhh I got nothing more

[drifting crag]

the three dots make it a little bit ominous, but we did know next one was the finale

[quiet cedar]

I'm excited for you all

[pliant aurora]

I want to scream and explode and I'm not sure if that is good or bad yet

[waxen gorge]

STOP NO PLEASE 😭

[warm lion]

reminder he said to watch right to the end

[waxen gorge]

I have a mouth but I cannot scream…. Im under water

[quartz lake]

I bet it’s a trailer tease

[quaint shale]

1 more left to go and then trailer perhaps

[waxen gorge]

For the next one?

[pliant aurora]

Yeah

But also to watch the whole thing

[waxen gorge]

If there’s no trailer drop or release date after the last episode I swear to god im gonna start tweaking

[warm lion]

this was at the very end of the last 3

[pliant aurora]

Well, it's not going to be before that so...

[waxen gorge]

Im actually gonna turn into a feral subspecies of human beings

[quartz lake]

Imagine they just drop the release date

[waxen gorge]

I will skip the end on purpose and then imediately come here and ask "when release date?"

[glad fox]

Your killing us here Mr abraxis

[drifting crag]

The next episode is feeling like the announcement's pre-announcement before the announcement that isn't an announcement but feels like an announcement, if I had to guess what it was

[waxen gorge]

I just want the game dog 😭

[gilded quarry]

i didn't understand a single word

[waxen gorge]

Please 😭🙏

[quartz lake]

What if they drop a date at the end and it’s a release date for the release date announcement

[pliant aurora]

It's the announcement that comes before the pre announcement of the announcements pre announcement or something (I'm lost too)

[quiet cedar]

Maybe I make it a Youtube Premier

So you cant skip

[gilded quarry]

hey obraxis how are you

[wise karma]

thats a great idea lol ^^

[waxen gorge]

Im tired boss

[drifting crag]

If it is a premiere there will be a universal ending time when we all see it

[pastel moth]

you absolutely should

[waxen gorge]

I love premier videos honestly such hype

[drifting crag]

and I will also want to remember to be home when it releases this time

[waxen gorge]

We gonna get god blowing trumpets before Subnautica 2 😭✌🏽

[drifting crag]

I have a habit of leaving the house exactly when there's a subnautica 2 video

[pliant aurora]

Ref to this #subnautica-2-chat message

[waxen gorge]

And then we all come to discord to ask about a date

[pastel moth]

the release for this series has been very predictable

[glad fox]

Ooo could you tell us if its q3 or q4 ?

[wise karma]

the DITL videos release at 1am for me 😭

[pliant aurora]

Wait now I look like I JUST sat that original message

[gilded quarry]

frrr

[waxen gorge]

It has? For me it’s dropped randomly

[gilded quarry]

tell me more

[waxen gorge]

I see no pattern my knees dont shake before the storm

[wise karma]

maybe this one will be worth staying up for though

[pastel moth]

it's been every tuesday at 11am EST

[pliant aurora]

<t:1777388400:F>

[waxen gorge]

Fake news it dropped on Wednesday for me

[waxen gorge]

An hour earlier than usual video drops?

[pliant aurora]

All three (okay last was 18:01 but anyway)

[gilded quarry]

12 pm where

[pastel moth]

then it's been every wednesday for you

[pliant aurora]

For you

[glad fox]

How did you come up with that

[waxen gorge]

Exactly

[drifting crag]

That block is timezone adaptive, cool discord feature

[gilded quarry]

damn i didnt know that

[waxen gorge]

WAIT THERE IS A PATTERN? (No Subnautica 2 is making me loose it)

[pliant aurora]

@time
Though that specific message I stole from cerbi
I did find it by myself too, but I can't use the command on mobile so I had to.... Borrow.. one from earlier

[quiet cedar]

All part of a plan....

[pliant aurora]

Daylight savings?

[drifting crag]

You can type those time blocks by putting in the unix second, but that's not easy to do by hand

[waxen gorge]

How about we make a new universal Timezone called Alterra time where Americans, Australians and Everyone can else are all in sync for the drop

[gilded quarry]

[quaint shale]

I have a plan Arthur 🥸

[pastel moth]

@oblique prairieno AI please

[pliant aurora]

Mutated, yes. Go to the kharaa page on the wiki (I think)

[waxen gorge]

Is cinematic in the works?

[glad fox]

Wow didnt rven realize there was a pattern

[gilded quarry]

money and noise Arthur

[lyric viper]

they should shadow drop subnautica below zero 2

[drifting crag]

I read the summary from that image before it was deleted, I have to say it was quite incorrect on a lot of things

[waxen gorge]

I hope so we need more Alan

[oblique prairie]

It wasn’t ai it’s something I looked up on google

[waxen gorge]

Google has an ai summary

[pastel moth]

it was the AI overview

[glad fox]

Man I would love more of Robin's story

[waxen gorge]

Slime Robin we need an all playable alan game

[oblique prairie]

I just wanted to know if it’s the same Kharaa bacterium but mutated?

[gilded quarry]

it was okay...

[oblique prairie]

Geez, I didn’t know. AI was such a bad thing. My fault.

[drifting crag]

We don't know if there's an infection that's important to the plot yet

[waxen gorge]

Ai isnt such a bad thing? Holy NPC

[quaint shale]

Was? It still is

[waxen gorge]

legit Pc roaming this earth

[oblique prairie]

Real tough guy over here

[pliant aurora]

@oblique prairie

That's on the wiki, but this is faster than going there myself

[warm lion]

i thought that was retconned

[glad fox]

Bz spoil

||If you scanned the frozen leviathen it says it was an ancient form of the kharaa, diff to the modern one we see with riley||

[oblique prairie]

Thank you for answering my question and not being aggressive like others

[lyric viper]

dont worry in act 3 of subnautica 2 we get trapped by the son of the sea emperor and it seems like all hope is lost but then a wormhole phase gate thingy opens up and alan and robin fly in and say "its below zeroing time" and then absolutely demolish it

[pliant aurora]

There is some significant virus.

[quaint shale]

Ghosty is an AI

[waxen gorge]

Would ancient be more worse or no?

[glad fox]

Totally different planets

[oblique prairie]

Ok pal

[glad fox]

||no because Robins sister found a cure for it||

[waxen gorge]

Ohhh ok

[glad fox]

You should replay bz

[lyric viper]

i know, thats why its a big reveal. didnt you read the pda in the golden waterflower wreck? 🙄

[waxen gorge]

Maybe I gotta finish my YT Subnautica one series tho

[glad fox]

Def before the new one comes out !

[quaint shale]

Idk if u guys knew this but you can make a saddle out of aerogel and kelp. You can put the saddle on a reaper

[waxen gorge]

I'm replaying BZ curently

[lyric viper]

youre thinking of fortnite i think

this is subnautica 2

[glad fox]

Put it in the suggestion website. Leviathen mounts for sub2

[drifting crag]

Honestly I could believe that there's a reaper leviathan in fortnite

[quaint shale]

Sublimanautica

[warm lion]

https://subnautica2.nolt.io/newest

[drifting crag]

sublimation?

[waxen gorge]

What is everyones favourite idea from Nolt so far?

[heady tulip]

Obraxis is getting me hyped

[glad fox]

Theyre very good at it

[small solar]

is this secure or safe?

@pastel moth i dont like pinging mods for things like this but this site asks for an account to be made with like an email and stuff

is this official?

[stiff rivet]

yes

#subnautica-2-info

[small solar]

okay i didn't see that

[hallow violet]

do yall think $62 cad will cover subnautica 2?

[small solar]

the site asked for discord information and i was unfamiliar with the type of website that it was

[stiff rivet]

yeah

[hallow violet]

i hope

[waxen gorge]

yeah nolt is oficial

[stiff rivet]

considering that the price will be reduced during early access

[hallow violet]

yea

[drifting crag]

Also you can read the permissions that you grant it when you choose sign in with discord (on a page provided by discord itself), and decide whether it seems like a reasonable amount of information to give it

[dusk hazel]

VR 👀

[silent oak]

not yet

unlikely ever

[dusk hazel]

VR vote up

[silent oak]

nah

[dusk hazel]

Would be so cool imagine getting jumped by a leviathan

[silent oak]

thats exactly my point

and plus i dont use vr so i dont have a use for it

[dusk hazel]

Well you're only one

[silent oak]

yes

[stiff rivet]

I mean it's possible that we can bully them into making a vr version if we vote it up enough on nolt

[slim sable]

Why there will probably be a mod for it anyway so why

[stiff rivet]

but yeah modding exists

[dusk hazel]

I'm ps🫪

[silent oak]

so you want VR but wont be able to use it?

how is that logical whatsoever

[slim sable]

ps5 has vr but i doubt the devs will add vr it will probably be a mod for pc

[silent oak]

ps5 has vr compat??

[slim sable]

yes

[silent oak]

since when???

[warm lion]

ever heard of playstation vr?

[silent oak]

no?

[warm lion]

its been a thing for years

[silent oak]

damn

[slim sable]

ya but it has to be the official ps5 vr and that is like 200 bucks i believe

[silent oak]

wait playstation has its OWN vr?? holy hell i live under a rock

[warm lion]

yep

[slim sable]

yes

[warm lion]

i think it makes more sense to use vr on steam tho

[slim sable]

incredibly so

[warm lion]

im looking forward to the new steam frame

sorry i am contributing to off topic conversation

[silent oak]

same

[stone slate]

it has 2 :)

[silent oak]

damn

[pulsar beacon]

the PS VR i head was pretty weak for a headset
havent heard anything about the PS VR 2

[pliant aurora]

Ps was the first thing I heard of vr on

[fervent aurora]

Psvr2 is solid but pricy
Much bigger improvement over the first

[hollow aurora]

Bro the release date next week just matches so perfectly. You can’t tell me it’s a coincidence they release a 4-episode series a month before the supposed release month with increased content and saying “multiple things releasing this month”, as well as the fact that there is something special at the end of next episode

[fervent aurora]

And it has a pc adapter now so maybe I can play subnautica with it

[pulsar beacon]

Doesnt the PSVR line require you to plug it into a device so it can piggy back off its specs?

[icy cave]

dude the SECOND subnautica 2 comes out i NEED to play it for FIVE YEARS STRAIGHT

[fervent aurora]

Psvr1 needed all those weird other stuff

Pretty sure psvr2 is just a single usb-c cable

[pliant aurora]

"all part of the plan"
-obraxis, like an hour ago or something

[icy cave]

Didnt they say they would announce 2ish weeks before

[sleek cedar]

Yo I’m back

Why did I get timed out for a day that was a shock to me

[cosmic crow]

Could have been due to your offensive profile picture. Some people are allergic to cats you know

[sleek cedar]

Na I think it’s a targeted operation

There out to get me cuz I know too much

I know when the game comes out

[spring willow]

Crazy

[drifting crag]

I think going down this route is how you increase your chances of getting muted again

[sleek cedar]

Isn’t it free speech tho?

[spring willow]

Bruh

[pastel moth]

No.

[sleek cedar]

Is unknown worlds altera?

[sleek cedar]

Oh mb

[fervent aurora]

At least 2 weeks yeah

[pastel moth]

you can find all the rules in #rules , the bot should've given you the reason for the mute

[sleek cedar]

Oh ya it was for like asking devs for leaks

Is that ur pet raccoon cerbi

Does it make a cameo in Subnautica 2?

[pastel moth]

no lol

[sleek cedar]

I won’t be buying then

Na I got a crazy idea tho like for an underwater raccoon

[drifting crag]

39,999 human pioneers and one earth raccoon for the cicada program

[sleek cedar]

We gotta make it happen and they name it after cerbi

How can I email unknown worlds

[drifting crag]

I wouldn't recommend trying to email them personally

[sleek cedar]

Do they have like a company email u think?

I don’t wanna talk to Krafton tho only the good guys

[drifting crag]

I know they have outgoing official emails, not sure where they take incoming ones but it'd probably be for business purposes

[sleek cedar]

Yes I have business proposal for raccoon

[drifting crag]

I think your chances depend on how much money you're willing to put behind the raccoon

[sleek cedar]

I have to fund? 😬

I thought they would buy the idea off me ngl

[drifting crag]

That would be a very difficult sell, but you can play it like shark tank I suppose

[sleek cedar]

I’m a good business man

Oh ya I was dev on red plague mod but I didint get early preview of sub 2

Might have to email abt that to

[frosty yacht]

hi

[dapper shore]

Well I doubt every dev on the mod got to play that

[sleek cedar]

Yes but im diffrent cuz i made red plague

[dapper shore]

Didn’t two red plague devs play it already

Plus Anthomnia(idk if he also helped with the mod)

[hollow aurora]

Kinda off topic but I’m not sure what Anthomnia’s relationship is with the Red Plague because he’s listed as a modder yet he seems completely surprised by stuff that occurs in his own mod in the play throughs as if he’s never played them before. Idk

[pliant aurora]

I originally thought he like commisioned the mod or something, could be very wrong though

[hollow aurora]

Maybe he just helps with advertising and not the development? Like media relations

[sleek cedar]

Im secret dev

[fervent aurora]

Could be yeah

Also if he worked on one aspect, he wouldn’t know the entire mod

[pliant aurora]

Pardon lmao?

[fervent aurora]

Plus I’m pretty sure he can just fake his reaction anyways

Cue the creepy violin that is not part of the game, followed by exaggerated screaming and false panic

Bonus points if you stay still and turn around to see the danger and get caught on a wall and panic harder and die and say it made your soul leave your booty

[tidal compass]

Is there a 100% confirmed release date? Ive heard ppl saying may 2nd

[dapper shore]

Booty?

[fervent aurora]

Booty

[pliant aurora]

2nd is practically impossible, but the only confirmed thing about the date is 2026

[lusty sierra]

nothing more specific than 2026 has been confirmed by unknown worlds

[dapper shore]

Guess it makes sense, other than your mouth where else will it leave from

[next pivot]

The unicorn frogs are watching you always watching

[dapper shore]

The fact non devs are playing previews already is promising for it to release pretty soon

[pliant aurora]

I'm sure they are watching

[icy cave]

are all the non devs signing NDAs and such or are we getting footage

[dapper shore]

I’ll have fingers crossed for May

[dapper shore]

They played it, footage is at the end of the recent DitL

[narrow temple]

Does anyone know the approximate release date for the game?

[icy cave]

no

[dapper shore]

If there are more people playing they’re certainly under NDA

[hollow aurora]

Yeah May 2nd is almost 100% not happening, any specific dates within May is complete speculation and usually misinformation (though keep in mind even May isn’t confirmed)

[pliant aurora]

Almost certainly, but how is us getting footage related here? Eg. Is anth going to upload a vid of his own?

[naive kindle]

boycotting subnautica 2 cause i can't murder large amounts of peepers and feed them to stalkers

i'll see myself out now

[dapper shore]

You can feed fish to yourself

[pliant aurora]

Not peepers tho

[wise karma]

maybe you can murder large amounts of half moons and feed them to nibbler mangos instead

[dapper shore]

There are no peepers

[fervent aurora]

I ate 16 raw fish once

In subnautica, to be specific

[icy cave]

i will irl js for u

[naive kindle]

golly its not the same

[pliant aurora]

Exactly

[dapper shore]

Raw fish is relatively safe, I don’t know about alien fish though

Depends cause fish can still have parasites and stuff

[dapper shore]

It’s*

[pliant aurora]

Yeah but the parasite thing isn't really about aliens. I imagine earth and alien fish have just as many of those.
I assume alien fish have a lot more foreign bacteria though lol

[icy cave]

they are full of mercury

[dapper shore]

I wouldn’t trust raw alien food of any kind before it’s been thoroughly examined

[naive kindle]

I want you to know that nobody will ever truthfully care about you in the slightest

[dapper shore]

Even cooked alien food is suspect

[pliant aurora]

Yeah that's probably a good idea

[dapper shore]

Well that was just uncalled for

[naive kindle]

nuh uh

[pliant aurora]

Yuh uh

[dapper shore]

Yuh huh*

[naive kindle]

nuh uh uh

[dapper shore]

Subnautica 2 though

[dull finch]

Can you not be rude? Thanks

[ebon marsh]

When game 😭😭😭 when 😭 I need it . I know the real answer. But WHEN???

[dull finch]

Soon or something

[dapper shore]

Eventually

[naive kindle]

naur im good, any who game needs to come out already, idc if it's choppy as hell

[dull finch]

There's a reason fans aren't Devs

[naive kindle]

below zero was choppy and had it's story rewrote like 3 times

[pliant aurora]

Wait I didn't even realize it's the last week of april, may 2nd is absolutely not happening

[naive kindle]

true but still

[ebon marsh]

Should've kept the second iteration btw

[dull finch]

It's almost like that's a bad thing

[naive kindle]

mm choppy glitched gameplay 😋

[naive kindle]

nuh uh, call it character development

[dull finch]

No

[naive kindle]

i forget which one that was

[pliant aurora]

How? I never had performance issues personally.
Nor really glitches, for that matter.

[naive kindle]

i remember when they changed voice actors and i got confused for like 20 mins

[naive kindle]

i had the research island entirely disapear on me and fall through the map twice :L

[pliant aurora]

OH well that does it

[naive kindle]

twas silly

[tidal mortar]

I’m really glad the devs listened to player suggestions. I watched the trailer and saw that multiple robot voices were implemented—thank you, devs!
Now I’m going to share a fan theory. It’s a bit out there, but let me know if I’m onto something:
Subnautica —
Alterra has been operating for decades, and their most recent ship, the Secada, was lost in space—possibly pulled through a wormhole that sent them back in time or something similar. They crash-land on a non-desert planet or moon and build a life there, unaware of the planet’s deeper mysteries.
These shipwrecked survivors could be the descendants of the Architects—or even the Architects themselves. This works because of the DNA editing technology and the ability to reprint bodies. Minds can be transferred, just like Al-An. Notably, he wasn’t surprised by a human and was instead cautious of Alterra Corporation. That could be because he recognized who they were—from a time when he himself may have been human.
As for the AI, it could also be the Architects, but I think it’s more likely to be the humans.

[timid pelican]

...holy typeing

[quiet cedar]

@tidal mortarHope you're enjoying all the video content before we launch!

[icy cave]

All of us are

[pliant aurora]

To play devils advocate, we don't have any evidence for transferring human minds. And personally I don't think time travel is likely. I think we really just went through a normal ohasegate transfer.
Whether you count ftl as time travel is a whole different topic

[turbid girder]

We are glad to have a dev like u man 🫡

[pliant aurora]

Or, I mean, we kinda do. The reprinters are weird. It's some quantum shenanigans

I don't know actually I'd need to think more about the mind transfer, reprinters and what seth has told us

[tidal mortar]

Love the content! Please add more—I need more to read and theorize about. I absolutely love sci-fi and Subnautica!

[timid pelican]

What video?

[lusty sierra]

all the stuff on the official subnautica youtube channel

[turbid girder]

The DITL videos and the content they’ve been releasing before that

[timid pelican]

Oh...I never knew that

[turbid girder]

U should watch all of them

They’re good

[timid pelican]

Bet

[tidal mortar]

Anyone else have theories? Love coming up with them together ❤

[swift kraken]

I love me some theorizing but I don't think any of this is right lol

I think we feed off each other here a lot so it's probably hard to come up with stuff right off the cuff tbf

I shall present my most recent theory thing once I make it less blindingly bright

[tidal mortar]

That’s the great thing about theories—they’re all perspectives shaped by individual thoughts.

[vocal summit]

LAST EPISODE? were geting real close to release

i mean,if they were confident enough to get even modders to play it, we sure are in a final stage

[pastel moth]

the Cicada was lost in space but we figured out what happened to it in the last episode of Voices from Beyond, NoA (the ships AI) detected a signal and took the ship off course through an unscheduled phasegate towards an m0 binary system where it entered the atmosphere of a moon

[tidal mortar]

Looking forward to the release!!!

[cobalt path]

The modders played it?

[swift kraken]

I have invented a darker edition

[vocal summit]

watch the final episode

[cobalt path]

I didn't fully see the final episode

[cobalt path]

That's very interesting but I ain't reading allat mb

[swift kraken]

TikTok is ruining the youth!

[lusty sierra]

something i'd like to mention in relation to the purple roots is that they are not actually roots, but tunnels created by a creature

[swift kraken]

Yeah I definitely need to update it to include that

[gaunt pasture]

The Titan Rockbore is crucial to the lore of the subnautica universe

[cobalt path]

Nope, instagram is

[lusty sierra]

titan rockbores sent the signal that noa was chasing /j

[swift kraken]

Once I have more time I think I want to change it the theory so that the blight is using the tunnels to spread, and possibly taking control of creatures to lure them to a world tree feeding ground or something?

[lusty sierra]

bloom highway

[swift kraken]

Precisely

[lusty sierra]

the titan rockbore tubes do seem like they'd be good transmission vectors

[tidal mortar]

@swift kraken Love the theory board! Thanks so much for sharing! I need to be more thorough in my reaserch. I only have surface understanding compared to you guys. Love it!!!!

[swift kraken]

I imagine that in the distant past the world tree could have been pretty normal and chill and just eating the things around it, but once the Titan Rockbore evolved and began making its tunnels it was able to take off and kind of ruin everything, like an invasive species

[pastel moth]

we saw this back in the 2nd dev vlog, this looks like those purple roots

[swift kraken]

Thanks for reading! If you stick around we do a good amount of theorizing and the senior narrative director (general battuta) stops by a lot and gives us little tid bits he's working on from the databank

The purple roots really look like they're everywhere

[lusty sierra]

here's another bloom infested rockbore tube

[swift kraken]

My main hesitation with this theory is that the world tree and bloom don't really look all that similar

[pliant aurora]

The big tree (BETTER NAME) "can't support itself via photosynthesis alone"
Could it draw nutrients from elsewhere with those root-like structures?

[lusty sierra]

the world tree is definitely significant in some way i just have no clue what it could be

[pliant aurora]

Symbiosis between tho different things?

[tidal mortar]

Could be like a mushroom that can parasite itself

[naive kindle]

bruh what did i miss, i tabbed out for like 20 mins

actually nvm alot can happen in that time don't fill me in

[lusty sierra]

theorizing

[swift kraken]

Is that an actual thing?

[pliant aurora]

Thing is, that is just what the pda made of the situation. Currently, we don't know of any outside data

[naive kindle]

marvelous

[pliant aurora]

Or noa or whatever ai

[pliant aurora]

Most famously cordyceps
OH ITSELF

[swift kraken]

I saw someone suggest thermal energy, which could be cool

[pliant aurora]

Photosynthesis not being enough leaves the options of, like, eating other biota, symbiosis, or stuff like thermal energy or plants getting nutrients from the ground

[tidal mortar]

@swift kraken look up zombie ant virus its a real thing

[pliant aurora]

I wanna group them into one but I don't know what to call it
This is why I'm not a biologist nor have studied this

[lusty sierra]

there are also these guys which, if my memory serves me right, are in the same genus as these squid things that swim by marrowbreach(es? what would the plural for marrowbreach be??)

[swift kraken]

Yeah I think that’s kind of what’s going on here

[honest breach]

Normally how these types of symbiotic tree-mushroom relationships work is that the tree is the part providing energy rich molecules while the mushroom helps to fulfill less mainstream, but necessary requirements for growth such as certain minerals and such that are used to make the active forms of enzymes, less likely in this scenario but they can also help find water. This does not seem to be followed in this case.

[pliant aurora]

I think marrowbreaches
Just like "breach" as in "go through"/"hole"

[lusty sierra]

makes sense

[atomic sapphire]

wait
what if the world tree uses kinetosynthesis / harvests power from winds and currents

[pliant aurora]

Well, most of the tree is above the water, so it could still have use for a bigger supply of water, especially considering what it's visual similarities to coral could imply.
Furthermore, we know it uses photosynthesis, the sugar from that could be a part of the symbiosis with some sort of fungi

[quartz lake]

What is this

[lusty sierra]

we don't know what that's called

[tidal mortar]

@atomic sapphire love this idea.

[lusty sierra]

could be an angel comb, looks kinda comb-y

[pliant aurora]

Actually, photosynthesis is only relevant if there's enough CO2, but would that produce too much oxygen with such a big thing?
I mean, it would've had to do a ton of photosynthesizing in it's life to get that big

Well, not "only" relevant. We know it uses that, but it wouldn't produce glucose

[wise karma]

maybe thats why you cant breathe the air because the big tree took it all lol

[pliant aurora]

I need to think more before I talk

[honest breach]

If the fungus breaks down organic matter, then the tree could be providing the fungus with something else like say, nitrogen containing compounds which can be very expensive energetically to make in exchange for some of the energy rich molecules the fungus extracts?

[tidal mortar]

It could also be that the roots of the tree act as tunnels, moving nutrients—fish, currents, and coral—from one location to another to support different areas. Like a gardener ensuring everything around them thrives; but if even one thing is overlooked, the overgrowth can become disastrous.

[pliant aurora]

If the blight is a fungus, would the bulbs be for spores, or for more surface area for some sort of membrane to gather stuff from the water

[tidal mortar]

@pliant aurora I agree with your theory

[pliant aurora]

Thank you!

[lusty sierra]

i'd like to note the similarities between the glowing structure and the gray bulbs
what exactly that means i don't know but something about it stands out to me, maybe they're the same structure in different stages of maturity?

[honest breach]

It is possible that the larger bulbs could be places for nitrogen fixation to occur, as this requires an anoxic environment, which assumably this is a fast growing fungus and needs a lot of proteins to keep expanding, it could have recruited a nitrogen fixing organism for a symbiotic relationship or have specialized cells that fix nitrogen to allow for mass production of the proteins it needs.

[honest breach]

With that similarity the spores theory is more likely

[gaunt pasture]

It seems like it might behave a bit like a slime mold sometimes

[tidal mortar]

What about the solar system does this moon have bad radiation, two suns that can effect the growth of the tree?

[pliant aurora]

As for the stages of maturity.
Maybe the glowing things are younger, and after they do... Whatever it is they do, they shrivel into the gray blobs and the "leaves" around it wither away

[pliant aurora]

The tree itself is radioactive, actually

[lusty sierra]

that's what i was thinking yeah

[main kettle]

no news about the early accèes?

[gaunt pasture]

Soon

[swift kraken]

I’m thinking perhaps the world tree and bloom were in a symbiotic relationship where the bloom infects things and makes things susceptible to signals emitted by the world tree which brings them back to the base of the tree to die. Then, the titan rockbore starts building its tunnels which allows the bloom to spread much further, then the tree gets fed more and grows more and can signal further out, and the situation escalated until the bloom is everywhere and everything infected by it is led back to the now massive tree. The tree, which has now gotten so massive its signals can reach space, has its signal received by NoA on the Cicada and lures it to the planet so it can feed more

[warm lion]

i love slime molds

[pliant aurora]

I like this because I called the tree "hacking" the cicada some time back and I see enough similarities lol

[lusty sierra]

causing a colony ship to crash because it's hungry #beastmode

[tidal mortar]

@swift kraken love this theory a lot!!!!

[gaunt pasture]

We’ve all been there

[naive kindle]

goodnight random people who also enjoy subnautica

[fervent aurora]

that makes sense
and since pioneers can reprint, the tree literally has UNLIMITED food
so the cicada probably gutted those pioneers and sent the new batch (us) in

[pliant aurora]

Did seth ever come to a conclusion about the food printing dilemma? I thought the main consensus was that it needs more biomatter than it puts out. Which, granted, makes sense

[fervent aurora]

liscencing issue

i think

[swift kraken]

Oh god, the tree printing thousands of colonists over and over again to feed itself is kind of horrifying

[tidal mortar]

What if the infection are not spores but eggs from the boss creature this game? And they are feeding on everything to grow?

[swift kraken]

The tree being “radioactive” is kind of what makes me think it’s the thing doing the signaling through electromagnetic waves, but it could also just be the natural radiation emitted by living things racheted up a few levels

[atomic sapphire]

what if the world tree's signal was an SOS? since the blight is slowly taking over

[swift kraken]

Yeah I thought that too and I think it’s a possibility

[tidal mortar]

@atomic sapphire good theory

[honest breach]

Is the tree sentient?

[lusty sierra]

i assume it's just not worth the cost to print something that'll just be eaten and digested relatively quickly as opposed to printing a whole human being

[swift kraken]

My main question is why is there a virus on this moon that can infect humans… Seth has been quite insistent that viruses are usually restricted to a species and yet dialogue from the game says being were infected by a virus

[cosmic crow]

I wonder if signal NoA detected onboard the Cicada is derived from the World Tree. It seems to be what the developers are insinuating

[honest breach]

Does it specify the virus is bad?

[lusty sierra]

computer virus, maybe
hold on i have something that ties into this

[cosmic crow]

We, on Earth, debate whether or not Trees are sentient. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is. It’s especially sentient if the theory that the World Tree is a crab is true

[tidal mortar]

@swift kraken humans can't thrive on this planet without DNA alterations when they do they add DNA that can be infected.

[cosmic crow]

It could be mutated from other viruses on the moon

[swift kraken]

It feels odd this databank entry would exist if it was a computer virus

[swift kraken]

Good point!

[honest breach]

What if the virus carries a gene that allows eukaryotes to take in new DNA like some bacteria can? This could be the basis for the adaptations or biomods.

[pliant aurora]

Biomods are nanotech, we have an entry for this, hold on

[atomic sapphire]

i do have a crackpot theory
the architects are aware of humans, maybe theyre aware of the kharra spreading across our civilisation, to they hijack the cicada, send it to the unnamed moon so that the colonists can learn and practice how to deal, treat and eradicate large, ecosystem wide infections?

[atomic sapphire]

oh cool! i honestly had an existential dread about the idea of changing our biology, this is like, a relief mentally

[honest breach]

Integrating viruses sometimes do weird stuff and bring new DNA with them, though this is more pronounced is prokaryotic viruses as far as I know. Normally it’s to help protect the host from other viral infections so they don’t have to worry about the host dying before they can replicate a decent amount.

[gaunt pasture]

Computer virus

[night island]

guys, im lsot, what ths tilte "dive into the legacy" means bro

[swift kraken]

I’m definitely beginning to think these gene alterations made everyone susceptible to the viruses. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario

[pliant aurora]

Thought to share, it's vaguely related

[night island]

aint now ay they making a dlc before the launch right

[gaunt pasture]

She’s talking about a computer virus. Everyone has PDAs implanted in their brain

[atomic sapphire]

oh wait i just realized does that mean when we die we lose all our adaptations 🤨

[swift kraken]

I just don’t see why a databank entry about how biological viruses work would exist if it wasn’t a biological virus

I know Seth loves writing stuff but I don’t think he’d randomly include that

[lusty sierra]

i'm choosing to believe it's a jab at people who call kharaa a virus

[gaunt pasture]

what sense does it even make to think it’s a virus? Why would she be talking to a virus

[tidal mortar]

@swift kraken agreed its a forced situation where you can neither win or lose.

[pliant aurora]

"dive" is a pun on sn being the water exploration game. They are just looking at some effects subnautica has had on the community, presumably to recognize us, but also to build hype for sn2. We might be getting something sn2 release-adjacent next week with it

[cosmic crow]

That reminds me of Cyberpsychosis from Cyberpunk 2077, where the more “Cyberware” people have installed, the more their mind becomes biologically incompatible with their body and they become a fiend

[swift kraken]

lol honestly maybe

[swift kraken]

Idk gang I didn’t write it! Though thinking about it more it probably could just be referring to NoA going all wack a doodle

[gaunt pasture]

My assumption is that what she’s talking about is a “ghost in the system” of a pioneer

[pliant aurora]

Hmmm, would be weird for a "non architect-centric" game to have the start of everything without having much more to them

[gaunt pasture]

Which may be us? Or maybe it’s not

It makes a lot more sense than her talking to a biological virus for some reason

[warm lion]

Ghost of [Redacted]

[lusty sierra]

gonna repost this cause i feel it's relevant

[swift kraken]

I’m thinking maybe NoA is trying to coerce us into being infected by the bloom and dying at the tree and doing hallucinations and stuff

Mesmer type deal

[pliant aurora]

I want the blackbox message back again

[tidal mortar]

In subnautica 1 it is confirmed the pilot returns to earth he was both infected and cured. What if he unknowingly spread the cure virus making humans susceptible to other ones on other viruses. He was also stricken by an unknown aloy that the architects used who knows what those unknown metals brought back.

[desert mural]

The big tree in subnautica 2 is huge and its cool

[swift kraken]

Urgh I need to update my conspiracy board but it shall have to wait until after my quiz tomorrow

[tidal mortar]

What if the architects grew the tree?

[desert mural]

Yess

[gaunt pasture]

What if architects put the water there

[cosmic crow]

The world tree is a crab I am telling you

[desert mural]

They cant

[honest breach]

What if architects keep settling on these planets because they need a lot of water

[lusty sierra]

they're just really thirsty

[fervent aurora]

cooling their facilities has gotta be a nightmare

[pliant aurora]

I just do not see the blackbox having as much effect as you guys are making it out to have.
Not related to a computer virus in our brains, anyway

[tidal mortar]

No, I'm serious the tree gives signals and is tall enough to reach space? Coincidence I think not!

[fervent aurora]

blackbox just saves your latest functional brainstate and exports it
if done right, it shouldn't tell you that the skyrays are plotting against you

[desert mural]

Btw did you guys see the big tree in subnautica 2???

[honest breach]

Yes

[lusty sierra]

jeremiah is that you

[cosmic crow]

You hear those skyrays chirping?
That’s the sound of them laughing at you

[gaunt pasture]

it’s Murglin time

[honest breach]

Late game jet pack to reach top of tree anyone?

[desert mural]

When subnautica 2 cames out TAKE MY MONEY

[lusty sierra]

please do not announce to the server when you are going to go murgle

[gaunt pasture]

Repost if you’re a real Murgle head

[desert mural]

[swift kraken]

You’re telling me his last name is Murgle?

[lusty sierra]

yes

[fervent aurora]

i hope there's a way to climb the tree with a vehicle so i can recreate the delta island trick

[pliant aurora]

Okay this is slightly more convincing than the blackbox
Also I just wanted this here because I didn't find it the other day

[swift kraken]

My one thing I wish BZ had is the bird board, I wish it happened

[honest breach]

Soulsnautica - you have to bring your old body back to the printer or you will not be reprinted again

[lusty sierra]

i only discovered the "say NO to skyrays" poster in my recent no vehicles challenge run and i feel stupid for missing it every single time i played through bz previously

[tidal mortar]

You think we will get a tie in lore like we did with subnautica and below zero via characters?

[swift kraken]

There was originally going to be a Sky Ray conspiracy poster or something of that nature but it didn’t make the cut

[swift kraken]

Beyond a possible databank entry mention for Ryley, I doubt it

[lusty sierra]

i don't think we'll be seeing any returning characters outside of maybe references in databank entries

yea

[radiant flicker]

Son😭

[tidal mortar]

Sad, I was hoping we would get a mention of one of the fleeing scientists from below zero in this series like maybe they snuck aboard the ship as a stow away.

[desert mural]

I saw that

[torpid tendon]

people who say this havent seen the gameplay teaser trailer

[desert mural]

I hope welcome aboard captain comes back lowkey

[swift kraken]

It’s a big galaxy out there so it’d be weird if they did

[radiant flicker]

Yknow gameplay teaser trailer is edited so its not pure gameplay

[cosmic crow]

I wasn’t impressed with the cave visuals shown tbh. It’s just not inspiring. But it is early access at the end of the day, and you probably don’t spend a lot of time there anyway… like the safe shadow caves. Graphics themselves are clean

[torpid tendon]

im talking about the graphics

[tidal mortar]

Yea, you are right but maybe they worked on the DNA editing process?

[slim sable]

Sorry is this guy blind?

[swift kraken]

It’s possible, the names were redacted for some reason or another (probably spoilers)

[radiant flicker]

Well yea but its prolly on max settings + some tweaks for trailer

[gaunt pasture]

Honestly I think people have constructed an idealised version of how subnautica looked in their heads because every time I see people say something like this it’s like nonsensical

[slim sable]

Too often

[gaunt pasture]

I also saw complaints that the start area looked too barren unlike Subnautica because “no plants” but if you actually go and look at the Safe Shallows it’s really not very different

[tidal mortar]

@gaunt pasture yes, its nonsensical but fun!

[desert mural]

Gemmabee are you excited to see ppl play subnautica 2??

[swift kraken]

Meanwhile, one of the largest Subnautica biomes

[gaunt pasture]

The Bulb Zone is so bad

[radiant flicker]

Whys everyone complaining about graphics in the comments bruh

[gaunt pasture]

Ok that’s mean but the Bulb Zone is probably the worst biome

[swift kraken]

I would rather the Bulb Zone just be more dunes

[orchid sonnet]

bulb zone gotta be top 5 most useless biomes in any game ever

[cosmic crow]

Also, footage from the most recent Subnautica 2 content is a screen recording of a screen share that was compressed when uploaded to YouTube, then compressed again when uploaded to tik tok

[orchid sonnet]

and it fails pretty bad at being intresting

and having variety

i have never been excited to go to the bulb zone

[swift kraken]

I think BZ catches a lot of flak for its biome transitions but the worst biome transition in SN1 is leagues worse than the worst one in BZ

[gaunt pasture]

Do you have interesting terrain? A diverse array of Lifeforms? A cool ecosystem? Anything?
Best we can do is:

[orchid sonnet]

heavy agree.

[desert mural]

Tung tung tung sahur died😣

[lusty sierra]

good

[cosmic crow]

UW got to the end of the game development, realized it was a pointless biome and were like… “Yo make those bulbs required for the hatching enzymes to beat the game” 🤯

[stiff rivet]

you do realize how tall something has to be to "reach space" right

[orchid sonnet]

not tht bz biome transitions arent a valid complaint or critique. i mean some of them are very jarring. but Sub 1 is way worse abt it imo

[stiff rivet]

and one reaper

[tidal mortar]

Thank you everyone who theorized with me! I have a lot to ponder on. I will do more research and return after I am well restored from a nights sleep.

[orchid sonnet]

exactly lol

[pliant aurora]

Okay listen it's purple and a bit blue and it glows a bit and is cool
They are so much better than whatever the balls in the grand reef were

[lusty sierra]

hop off anchor pods

[orchid sonnet]

the transition into the sparse reef is actually horrid imo. and i love the sparse reef

[stiff rivet]

at least the anchor pods look like they were dangerous the first time you enter the area

[swift kraken]

I love the Grand Reef so much I made it a biome on my procedurally generated Subnautica inspired planet datapack

[gaunt pasture]

Hell no Anchor Pods are cool

[cosmic crow]

The crash zone transition…

[gaunt pasture]

And the Grand Reef just has way more interesting terrain

[orchid sonnet]

i guess it depends where you are coming from. but if you are coming from the safe shallows like you usually are. its terrible

[stiff rivet]

and animals

[swift kraken]

Ball knowledge is knowing the transitions around the northern blood kelp is horrid

[orchid sonnet]

and the transition into the grand reef is almost just as bad

[lusty sierra]

i would argue the grand reef is one of the best sn1 biomes

i do not have a favorite biome but grand reef is up there

[swift kraken]

The Grand Reef sends chills down my spine more consistently than any other biome and it’s not even particularly dangerous

[orchid sonnet]

i can agree with this

[pliant aurora]

What does the grand reef even even have 😭
There's anchor pods, crabsquid, and a ghost leviathan
I genuinely cannot think of anything else there

[cosmic crow]

Totally

[lusty sierra]

i do think we've veered a bit off topic though

[swift kraken]

The surface Grand Reef just has fish and two ghost leviathans iirc, oh and warpers, maybe jelly rays

[gaunt pasture]

I never thought about it until now but the Grand Reef basically just does the Bulb Zone but better

[swift kraken]

They invented a Bulb Zone with aura

[gaunt pasture]

It is also a biome dominated by strange glowing round flora but everything about it looks more appealing and interesting

[orchid sonnet]

well it leads into the deep grand reef which is pretty intresting since it has the degasi base. it also has warpers. it has useful materials. the ground terrain and cliff sides actually have intresting geometry to them asw

[lusty sierra]

bulbs: ✅
zone: ✅
this truly is a Bulb Zone

[gaunt pasture]

The Grand Reef is a better Bulb Zone than the Bulb Zone. I’d be embarrassed if I was the Bulb Zone.

[cosmic crow]

Bulbs ≠ spheres

[orchid sonnet]

i love sn1, its one of my fav games oat. but man does it have flaws. the more i think about it. the worse the biome transitions are lol

[pliant aurora]

I entirely forgot the deep grand reef is technically a separate biome, I have never personally considered it as such.
And the degasi argument is basically like saying the bulb zone has that one lifepod, only somewhat more valid

[orchid sonnet]

way worse than BZ. at least bz tries to blend them well tbh

[swift kraken]

The Grand Reef is one of the best biomes and I think the Deep Grand Reef is among the worst imo

[pliant aurora]

I think the most mediocre transition in bz is still better than the best in sn1

[orchid sonnet]

im inclined to agree

[gaunt pasture]

Crabsquids amongst the Floating Stones is also just a great visual

[swift kraken]

I do wish the Deep Grand Reef was a little more unique

[prime gale]

yeah i still remember this in gameplay - not being able to make out if some distant thing was a crabsquid or a bulb

[stiff rivet]

I think somehow they should encourage players to not bring vehicles into areas

[swift kraken]

The Crab Squid feels like it was made perfectly for the Grand Reef

[gaunt pasture]

Yes it would be nice if the deep and shallow grand reef had a bit more distinction

[pliant aurora]

What do you guys find most visually interesting biome in sn1? regardless of how much fauna or flora you find, just like, the aura of it. Which would make the best wallpaper.
Imo the lost river

[lusty sierra]

welcome back anchor pods

[swift kraken]

It’s so weird looking at SN1 screenshots because it’s just like… where are the rocks?

[orchid sonnet]

eh nah. its the deep grand reef not exaclyt meant to be a new biome. i think if it changed too much. it would be too jarring of a change. but thts just my personal take on it. i see your point asw

[fervent aurora]

mike wazowski

[lusty sierra]

anchor pod jr.

[gaunt pasture]

What if this thing just started walking

[lusty sierra]

that would be problematic for the growbed layout

[swift kraken]

I mean like, think of the Twisty Bridges and Deep Twisty Bridges in BZ? They’re fundamentally pretty similar but one of them is pretty chill and the other is like a terror nightmare show

[lusty sierra]

...but also incredibly funny so it's alright

[pliant aurora]

You swim past your planter. Something gently touches your leg. You turn around and see nothing but your plants. But inside, you know...

[swift kraken]

Deep Twisty Bridges my beloved ❤️

[orchid sonnet]

cove tree if you count that as a biome. but oustside of that, lost river or sparse reef

i know sparse reef is kind of an odd answer

[gaunt pasture]

No I’m with you

Sparse Reef is one of my favourites

[orchid sonnet]

but it gave me a horrible sense of pure isolation my first playthrough. the sparse reef does exactly what its meant to perfectly imo

[fervent aurora]

touch the plants back

[swift kraken]

I will stand on principle that the Deep Twisty Bridges is the best biome in either game

[pliant aurora]

That one area in bz where you got the antidote or something was done DIRTY

[orchid sonnet]

whats your reasoning if i may ask

[gaunt pasture]

Lilypads is one of the highest for me

[fervent aurora]

absolute stress
searching for O2 while dodging obstacles and scouring for goodies

[orchid sonnet]

visually its great, but i dont like the gameplay down there

[lusty sierra]

i hope to see more things like the lily pads in different stages of their lifecycle in sn2

it seems like jelly leis might have something kinda similar

[swift kraken]

Well it basically takes the nice comfortable area you’ve been living in and flips it on its head. At the point you’re in it you shouldn’t have a vehicle, and it’s basically impossible to get one down there, and there’s a lot of really good Seatruck fragments down there. On top of that the gameplay down there is extremely stressful because you’re jumping from oxygen plant to oxygen plant while dodging squid sharks. It’s just perfect tension imo

I think we’ll get to see a few life cycles of the coral crabs

[quartz lake]

Don’t forget those spike traps

[pliant aurora]

I hated the lilypads so much. Not because it was a bad biome, but I never knew how far I should dare go, which was horrifying to me when I first went there

[orchid sonnet]

i see i see yeah those are valid points

[flint sentinel]

Wait.

I wonder if this means there'll be a cinematic camera mode

[gaunt pasture]

Yeah I do like how the Coral Gardens is covered in discarded shells

[fervent aurora]

almost like a garden of corals or something

[orchid sonnet]

lilypads is visually my fav biome out of the 2 games i think

[swift kraken]

Oh yeah those too

[lusty sierra]

this is what i mean

[quartz lake]

I’m scared that’s a big drop off

[pliant aurora]

Dude watch the video the drop is MASSIVE

[flint sentinel]

We know there's gonna be a few of those

[swift kraken]

And there’s a screenshot on the Steam page of some smaller shell-less crabs in another biome

[swift kraken]

I enjoy how many ominous drops into nothing SN2 seems to have

[lusty sierra]

do i repost my coral crab lifecycle theory for the whateverth time or is that not necessary

[prime gale]

thasliphobia my beloved :3

[gaunt pasture]

Can’t be sure if those weren’t just temporary yet

[swift kraken]

Welcome back, Gel Sack I guess

[gaunt pasture]

Yeah gel sack leviathan what is that thing

[swift kraken]

They chose to put it on steam so I choose to believe otherwise

[flint sentinel]

It's similar but don't think that's a gel sac

[fervent aurora]

maybe an evil coral crab

[pliant aurora]

Please do

[swift kraken]

I dont know why it would be a gel sack but its pretty much identical

[fervent aurora]

also, notice how SMALL the dive elevator is in this image
dang that's deep

[pliant aurora]

At least that one other biome is just gone tbf

[lusty sierra]

here ya go

[flint sentinel]

I'm curious what this is.

It's like some kind of slime? Looks almost like a force field... Maybe it's an entrance to a dried out cave?

[pliant aurora]

Or repurposed or something

[swift kraken]

Hm? I haven’t heard about this

[lusty sierra]

get goopy

[gaunt pasture]

Yeah I was wondering what that was

[terse scarab]

Are we able to sign up for early access

[gaunt pasture]

It has a similar vibe to the gateway spires we’ve seen

[pliant aurora]

Oh you even responded that to me originally too I'm so sorry lmao

[gaunt pasture]

You just buy early access you don’t need to sign up to anything

[flint sentinel]

Is that a confirmed name?

[terse scarab]

Oh

[quartz lake]

I wonder if it’s friendly

[gaunt pasture]

Yes

[flint sentinel]

I'm also prtty sure this is from the same shot

[lusty sierra]

no worries i don't expect anyone to remember everything i've ever said to them lol

[pliant aurora]

But I'm on board, that makes sense

[terse scarab]

It doesn’t say it’s a avail yet on steam

[flint sentinel]

So that's probably what it is

I reckon they might restore your oxygen or something, like this games equivalent of the oxygen plant or brain coral

[waxen gorge]

How’s it going Yall?

[gaunt pasture]

Because it is not available yet, but it will be

[terse scarab]

My fault lol

Thanks

[flint sentinel]

More specifcally it could be an equivalent to the total hole fish. Swim through it and your oxygen is restored

[swift kraken]

Binomial? Ougug 4x + 13

[gaunt pasture]

Soon

[orchid sonnet]

it comes out this year. and you can just buy it when it becomes available

[fervent aurora]

I hope so

I love me some rings to swim through when I’m bored

[quartz lake]

I’m betting we’ll get an announcement within 2 weeks

[flint sentinel]

It'd be interesting if that one down below in my screenshots is also an entrance of a cave. Like, when you enter the cave your get your oxygen back and when you leave you get oxygen back

[fervent aurora]

Isn’t that a bit lenient though?

I guess that’s only if you remember the way out

[quasi flame]

Im betting we’ll get an announcement in less than a week

[fervent aurora]

I think an oxygen ring would be a killer design

[quasi flame]

28th April to be more specific

[quartz lake]

Honestly I think so yeah I’m just saying in case they reveal the trailer a week after the last votb

[pliant aurora]

#subnautica-2-chat message sorry it took a bit, but here. And this continues

#subnautica-2-chat message continuing over

[lusty sierra]

oh, huh

[flint sentinel]

These definitely look to be the same thing just one looks to be more of like an entrance against a wall

[flint sentinel]

Altho that could just be the perspective messing with me.

[swift kraken]

I liked that biome!

[lusty sierra]

someone ate the goop out of the center of the wall mounted one 💔

[flint sentinel]

Nah I can still see it!

It's jsut faint

[lusty sierra]

yeah it's there but only on the edges of the ring

hence, someone ate it

[desert mural]

If being a devwatcher is your power what are you without it

[fervent aurora]

Spicy

[pliant aurora]

Based on what Sam said, I think it exists somehow, but has just ""evolved"" into something else

[flint sentinel]

The biome isn't gone, it's been reworked. They weren't happy with how it looked so they redid the whole thing. But because of that, the location in the steam page screenshot doesn't look like that anymore. However, the biome still exists.

So again, biome is still around it just looks different, and that specifc location doesn't look like that anymore.

The biome in question is the Jelly Plateaus.

[swift kraken]

I’ll be the judge of that…

[flint sentinel]

Fellas I'm Lowkey scared I'll get overwhelmed by the base building system and not have any creativity to build a base.

[stiff rivet]

yes different angle

[lusty sierra]

i am the most indecisive person ever when it comes to building anything in video games
i'll be lucky if i even get past the finding a spot stage of base building /hj

too many pretty locations

[pliant aurora]

Just build with the mindset "function over form"

As long as it has a hatch, moonpool, fab and storage, it's home

[lusty sierra]

i'm fairly proud of some of the things i have made when i'm actually able to decide what i want but i usually spend an ungodly amount of time just contemplating

[flint sentinel]

I think my plan now is to find a cave that I can build a base inside of

[hard bane]

Sameee

[fervent aurora]

Copy your sn1/bz base and build off that

[hard bane]

I’ll have to look up some bases to get inspo

[hard bane]

SAMEE!

[hard bane]

Ikr

[flint sentinel]

I was building in BZ/SN1 through the limitations those games had.

All of decorations were predefined on the exterior, all shapes were set, you had the puzzle pieces and simply bade your base using them.

[hard bane]

Frr

[flint sentinel]

In SN2 we have to make the puzzle pieces ourselves.

[orchid sonnet]

thats when you log off for the day and brainstorm base ideas

[worn vault]

Wait is it true subnautica 2 is coming out in may

[hard bane]

There really isn’t a single individual experience

[lusty sierra]

no date more specific than 2026 has been confirmed by unknown worlds

[flint sentinel]

It's so much easier to brain storm in game tho.

I'm sure I'll have a creative mode save where I simply search for places and build bases

[fervent aurora]

Oh I should do that too

[orchid sonnet]

unconfirmed but possible. nothing other than 2026 has been confirmed by the actual devs

[swift kraken]

Just saw a video about whether a controversial figure (and it’s not the one you think!) could survive Subnautica with 22k views, wow, we are truly back

[lusty sierra]

i do this thing whenever i play minecraft where i just kinda stare at the screen and contemplate the build but i don't really have that issue in subnautica

we'll see how it is with the new system though

[flint sentinel]

Its not like I have no plans,

I've had numerous ideas like for the centre of my base to be a big hollow tower, hatches pointing inward on all sides, and a moon pool above it that enters into my observation deck.

The idea being this is what I use instead of a ladder.

[flint sentinel]

Alternatively I've also thought what if my base just doesn't use hatches and instead I exclusively use tiny moonpools throughout my base as a means of entering and exiting.

[lusty sierra]

i have base ideas i've just got no clue where i want to put my main base 😭
i'm sure it'll be easier to actually decide when i have the game but i have a feeling i'll be pacing around for a bit before deciding

[flint sentinel]

Plus looking at all the decoration pieces that work on both the exterior and interior, I've got ideas for how I can use those to build somethin cool.

I'm a big symmetry guy, I love making designs that feel pleasently equal.

[lusty sierra]

if you can still build compartments from the inside i may have to attempt to make a safe passage through the void to the world tree

[orchid sonnet]

i do the same. then i just start placing stuff down and go from there

i get like random blocks i think i think would look tog. a concept. and then just start placing stuff

i usually redo the start of the build like 3 times due to this but it usually works out pretty well

[flint sentinel]

Obviously my whole base wouldn't be fully symmetrical that's insane. And limiting.

But like, it'd be cool to have my main entrance use those wing pieces on either side to look like a plane or something, big forward facing glass, swim under and hop in via a moon pool.

[lusty sierra]

with subnautica the main issue i have is just finding a spot, i feel like i don't really hit the same mental block when actually designing it that i do in basically every other game with building

[orchid sonnet]

sameee. in my last subnautica playthrough i spent legit like 3 hours just finding a good spot for my base

[fervent aurora]

I unintentionally find good spots

Or maybe I never cared and just grew to enjoy those areas

[lusty sierra]

i'm sure my friends can attest to how problematic my indecisiveness when designing gets in other games

[fervent aurora]

My whole thing is improvise and make it convenient

But now that I’ve played through sn1/bz multiple times, I made a universal “base plan” that I got attached to

[flint sentinel]

Tbh? I feel the easiest way is to build a base somewhere then just keep it.

You don't need the perfect spot,

In My last few playthroughs my base was simply either in the east Arctic for below zero or the gun Island for sn1

I always try somewhere new. Like my next BZ playthrough I think i might put it in the glacial Bay.

I think the most interesting part about building a new main base in a subnautica game is that it essentially grounds you in the world. Where you decided to anchor down dictates where you go when and why.

[desert mural]

I seen the build video i think my brain is too slow 😭

[atomic sapphire]

for my base i want a couple of foundations stacked ontop of eachother and small rooms as a dock for an eventual big sub

[digital idol]

hello

[flint sentinel]

That's why I'm sorta slowly realising... The best solution might be to start small an d expand as you go.

That's what I did in my last SN1 playthrough. Started with a multipurpise room ended up with 3 large rooms by the end and a second multipurpise room.

[desert mural]

Ok

[lusty sierra]

i have plans for an enrichment chamber (hole in the center of the base closed in on all sides by compartments and filled with water and 500 exterior lights and probably small creatures. enrichment chamber)

[flint sentinel]

It's just I look at this new advanced building system and I think of all the possibilities, without realising it'll take me time to unlock all those things. And I'm positive that's what the devs intend for us to do.

You'll unlock a new piece and think "Oh I wonder where I should place this!" And as you unlock more pieces you find more places to add pieces

[flint sentinel]

All I hope is we don't get thrown in with like the whole builder tool menu at our finger tips :')

[lusty sierra]

i'm going to make some pretty bases (well, try to at least) but i'm probably going to make far more that are just incomprehensible nonsense because it's funny and i want to test the limits of the system

[flint sentinel]

Or else I may have a panic attack

[flint sentinel]

Fair. I remember my last BZ base the only way to get in was via the Seatruck docking bay

[fervent aurora]

Yeah I love growing a base

Not sure how much of my base I should “regrow” in sn2, since it’s pretty different

[lusty sierra]

i want to make a growbed pyramid since you can stack them now

[wise fiber]

So when is this game coming out? I’ve been waiting for ages and still nothing, and I’m not the only one. And whenever there’s a post from Subnautica, it’s always just that same old story—which I’m not interested in—so I just end up getting annoyed for no reason. I’ve heard about May from a few sources, but I don’t know how much truth there is to it.
I think it’s about time the developers confirmed the date or just came out and said whether it’s coming out anytime soon.

[fervent aurora]

May isn’t confirmed

[lusty sierra]

no date more specific than 2026 has been confirmed by unknown worlds

[digital idol]

september latest cause of the deadline most likely

[atomic sapphire]

i may go with something similar to my regular bases in subnautica
a two story main structure with crafting and storage main living quarters, a lab and an alien containment

smaller structures containing moonpools, bedrooms, greenhouses* all leading to the main structure

(that is, if we get any type of earth plant at all, something like the potato plant)*

[digital idol]

not confirmed though

[flint sentinel]

It comes out when it releases. It releases when it's done. It's done when it's ready. It's ready when they're happy.

[atomic sapphire]

actually have any of the devs confirmed anything about growable interior plants?

[flint sentinel]

I may genuinely steal some of the building ideas from the devlog lmao. Like always placing a bed in a nook.

[flint sentinel]

No but there a few decorative indoor plants,

[lusty sierra]

fake titanium plants, probably

[flint sentinel]

I've also consideredr eturnign to my old idea from one of my early access BZ creative mode playthroughs where my base was a hotel.

Thsi time it'd actually work tho cuz weve got multiplayer xD

[flint sentinel]

We're conspiracy theorying the decorative plants now

[quasi flame]

Imagine it’s just plastic plants

[lusty sierra]

i can tell i've spent too much time in this chat because whenever i hear the word plant now i start thinking "that's not right." when it very much is in the context i'm hearing it in

[flint sentinel]

I feel a plant made of titanium could Lowkey breaks guys spine

[flint sentinel]

It Lowkey probably is

[flint sentinel]

You listen to Seth too much.

I'm sure they'll still be under flora in the databank or else it'd just get too confusing

[waxen gorge]

What's this? Is this moded Subnautica 2? Who would add PLANTS???

[atomic sapphire]

if we can connect nooks together id love to get a fake glass balcony look like.... GAH i cant find a reference pic to what im thinking of

[flint sentinel]

Oh spaceballs

[flint sentinel]

I seriously hope we get reinforced floor and roof glass pieces, as oppose to an observatory room compartment.

[lusty sierra]

it's definitely just a byproduct of the jokes about plants becoming engrained in my mind

[waxen gorge]

We might make almost round room by vonnecting bunch of nooks

[lusty sierra]

dodecahedron room

[flint sentinel]

I'm sure you can put too half round rooms together to make soemthing

[waxen gorge]

Do you think window in this room will be fully customizeable?

[lusty sierra]

i hope there's an option to have no window

same with the nook

[waxen gorge]

🤔

[flint sentinel]

I'm still curious just how many interior facilities we might have.

I'm sure some of you will remember but, Aryon and I discussing this, and she all but confirmed my suspicion that rooms like scanner room and control room will become their own facilities now or elements instead of whole entire rooms. That we could have like a control panel in aour primary room long with a moon pool and a scanner hologram table or something

[lusty sierra]

well there's... whatever that is in the bottom right

[waxen gorge]

That is nice. I love the idea that Moonpools are custom now

[flint sentinel]

I don't think so, no. We've only ever seen it with the window, and the window is pretty clearly baked into the builder tool menu icon

Same for the nook as well, I think there are jsut a few elements that are forced to have glass

[lusty sierra]

also check the subtitles here
processor and scanner station

[flint sentinel]

I reckon that's our new modification station, or some kind of anayalsis table.

[lusty sierra]

could be the processor, whatever it does

[fervent aurora]

I got a perfect plan

If the scanner station is a holo-table, I put it in the middle of a half-round room overlooking a cliff

[flint sentinel]

Oh hell yeah, so that confirms it then. The scanner station is an actual thing

[waxen gorge]

Procesor station what the...

[flint sentinel]

Who knows maybe that round thing in the half round room in my second screenshot is a scanner station

[waxen gorge]

With glass floor

[fervent aurora]

Nah you need solid floor for aura

[flint sentinel]

Exactly

I wanna make a big command deck of sorts with a control panel, half round room, scanner station, and more.

[lusty sierra]

i'd also like to point out the doodad in the half round room in this shot
what are you

[flint sentinel]

That's gotta be the processor.

That looks like a processor if I've ever seen one.

[flint sentinel]

That looks like a table of sorts

[atomic sapphire]

ah screw it. this is the closest thing i can find. (game is American Arcadia btw)
id love to get a large, wraparound walkway around the ground floor of my base using nooks

[flint sentinel]

That'd be really cool but I doubt they connect. They seem to go off grid

[atomic sapphire]

yeah 😔

[flint sentinel]

I have also wondered what this thing is.

My guess for a while was that it might just be a big long fancy wood and glass bench. Or a couch.

Btput now that I know a scanner station is a thing, it could be that.

[fervent aurora]

Do you think the antenna is connected with the table thing

[flint sentinel]

I'm pretty sure the antenna was confirmed to be nothing more than a decorative object

[lusty sierra]

maybe? i'm not sure

[atomic sapphire]

also yeah i pray for different floor pieces
honestly i hope we can have multiple floor choices, like tiles, or something akin to the black squares in the large room, a floor similar to the scanner room

[flint sentinel]

Like the vents

[waxen gorge]

Scanner station

[lusty sierra]

greeble

[warm lion]

oh cool you guys are talking about bases

[flint sentinel]

Maybe when base colurising comes around we could change the floor

[fervent aurora]

No greebles allowed in my base

[flint sentinel]

I'd love for carpet to be a thing.

Like that'd be so funny it'd get all soggy and gross

[waxen gorge]

I need parke floors

[fervent aurora]

Mushroom farm

[atomic sapphire]

and... something like this for exterior foundation pieces (COUGH COUGH mesh/grate COUGH) cause right now they seem to be featureless

[flint sentinel]

LMFAO

[lusty sierra]

what about greeblies and/or nurnies

[atomic sapphire]

honestly wouldnt mind wooden flooring

also yet the same thing but for interior walls, could be a way to bring back the wall planter and maybe bring back the reinforced segment as a purely decorative ''wall paper''?

[flint sentinel]

I remember the other day I was discussing how I'd love for like a mesh fence system. So I can build pens of sorts, or like protective barriers around my bases so I feel safe when I go to access my farms. Without the fear of a fishy coming to bite my ankles.

[atomic sapphire]

YESS i really want something like that

[lusty sierra]

i think it'd be neat if putting certain things in a growbed could attract certain creatures

[atomic sapphire]

meshes / grates are so cool underwater, its such an industrial vibe

[chrome trail]

fish

[flint sentinel]

I imagine the wall planter would be adjustable like windows are now

[flint sentinel]

I could imagine my mini base in leviathan waters having this big industrial military fence around it on all sides, even above. Big radio tower with a flashing red light so I can find my base in the dark. It'd look sooooo cool.

[atomic sapphire]

for my big sub dock i think itd fit perfectly, sure they could make glass be buildable on foundations but that feels more civilian, what i want is like, an oil rig look if that makes sense?

[primal whale]

Is it too late to join testing before early access? Or is that not out yet?

[hard bane]

Too late
