subnautica-2-chat

[hollow jungle]

The parasites on the other hand, are pretty wild sometimes

[wet finch]

||I never seem to have found this signal, I just stumbledd on this place exploring 😭 ||

[blazing timber]

Why Tf is the only alien scanner blue print in such a spot ?? Im
Sure 90% of ppl are missing it rn

[swift kraken]

They're genuinely insane compared to everything else in the game

[simple mica]

How do i get to ||alien ruins||?

[hollow jungle]

Exactly!

[summer dagger]

Well finished EA1 so far it's great I like it a lot left some good questions and such to think about for future patches and releases.

[silk lantern]

If it's one of the regular angel Combs the sonic resonator should work just fine I think you're just too far away

[hollow jungle]

I consider them the mpst dangerous thing tbh

[late compass]

i hope the resources become a little bit more... idk the term, like i want it be more random, i loved how you could find limestones in pretty much every biome in subnautica 1, i feel like in 2 you have to go to specific places and i dont think thats much fun

[turbid scaffold]

True true! But consider: I feel bad about eating them alive sometimes. This is just like an immersion thing for me, hunting for fish feels a bit unfinished right now

[exotic crypt]

Yeah, I do think the parasites need better ways to deter them, along with a bit of a nerf

[dawn oak]

||what do i do after getting to the abandoned base labelled alien ruins? i've explored around and built my own base, i've found the depth module but thats it. i tried to follow directions to the portion of the cicada wreck but i got lost near some alien buildings and turned back, and i found one of those adaption plants but i couldn't destroy the blooms because they would close up ||

[pliant aurora]

I have NO idea what compelled you to ||go past the collector|| for no reason but okay lol 😭 😭 😭

[formal cliff]

hi subnauts, do you guys know if the collector leviathan ACTUALLY can roam out of his biome? He keeps losing me as SOON as i cross the threshold

[swift kraken]

NoA gives you a signal to the wreck and then tells you that it is probably in there and then if you explore the wreck you find it

[thick pebble]

is there anyway to get more of the passive biomods or has that not been added yet

[frail rose]

Why is the sky usually so gray and gloomy when the sea is blue and saturated?

[vocal quiver]

Let me kill nibblers. There mad annoying bro

[mint seal]

late but i've been having this problem too. its a little buggy

[uneven vault]

im at the same part, and i've tryed that and it still doesn't work

[vital thorn]

I'd like an axe like the one Kratos has in God of War: Ragnarok.

[potent halo]

The parasites kind of are the intended "combat" in Subnautica so it kind of makes sense, everything else is deterrence and survival, the parasites are to be purged

[wraith fiber]

I just got to the big alien thing, where can I get the tadpole upgrade how do I spoiler warning this

[hollow jungle]

They do like 2 damage. Who cares lmao

[digital zenith]

You have to so you can progress

[full haven]

would be nice if ore and crystal respawned but at a slower rate then living things like pulp plants. for the base builders...

[lone ledge]

having a pack of mangos right outside my base isnt scary. i dont feel helpless or weaker, its just annoying. i go outside to edit my base and i got the triplets biting me every five seconds

[hazy whale]

"Never posed any danger"
It grabbed my Tadpole, smashed it into a wall 400m below and instantly desroiyed it, and then ate me. I had to go down there with the wakemaker and dodge the thing ro repair it and drive off

[candid mortar]

Dropped a portable locker through the moonpool and it yeeted it self off the map? 😆

[tacit sundial]

Where the safe zone around the collector? Im not trying to do the water skim technique i had taken a route straight towards the alien structure that a friend showed but i forgot and when looking it up only find vids of people telling to skim the surface

[cobalt flint]

[winter kraken]

how many biomods are there? is it just the 4 for ea1

[hollow jungle]

The infection is to be purged, not the parasits specifically. The Game does not incentivize killing through them

[mossy plaza]

I personally dont think reviving is a good system if your being eaten by something it just doesnt make sense, but if its from like a hammerhead sure

[late compass]

will they add weather to this game? below zero had weather, to be honest, i was surprised weather was not added in this first version of subnautica 2, feel like its something that pretty much makes sense for this world

[bleak stratus]

The ||alien buildings|| are some of the coolest locations I've ever seen in a Subnautica game. Whoever designed them did a fantastic job,

[blazing timber]

It being at the entry in a dead angle is just a terrible placement , Even more when u are forced to look up in the hallway . Again no one even speak about it bcz of that

[bronze fjord]

Spoken like someone who never ground anything to death with the prawnsuit mining arm, but, okay, I'll play.

There are only two predators in this game lethal enough to matter, the shiver and collector. The other predators are just annoying. Seriously, just hang out next to the marrowbreach and see how long it actually takes to kill you. Same for the mangoes.

When humans find nests of annoying pests, we destroy the nest. The "predators" are annoyances, not legitimate enemies. It's not about some kind of combat fantasy, it's about giving the player the means to remove an annoyance. If you find out your house has a wasp's nest in it, it's a bad day to be a wasp, and that's the end of it. We need something to remove the annoyances from our bases.

[misty copper]

why are beds useless even in single player bruh im not tryna be around at night

[summer dagger]

I don't need to kill things just be able to like knife them and they leave me alone

[oak harbor]

You unlock like 10-15 more later

[wraith heron]

where the the research outpost so i can find the tadpole depth module

[untold wasp]

not sure why I was expecting a message which literally says "This was EA edge", anyway. reached it I guess, still awesome start

[broken turret]

anyone knows where is celestine?

[silk lantern]

It's the alien city one You need the range extender upgrade. If it's any of the normal ones you need to clear out the juveniles before the adult can be cleared, just follow along with the roots from the adult to find the juveniles

[craggy geyser]

How do I get past the giant squid looking leviathan

[wet finch]

||I was tryna scan it in little bits jumping in and out of my tadpole and it smacked me away and got my tadpole destroyed so I hadda run and saw this place||

[formal cliff]

5 promineant biomods and like 13 passive biomods

[buoyant steeple]

Indeed. Though in fairness, given the number of base builds I've seen that have been achieved without killing the resident Leviathan, it wasn't beyond possibility that you could've shared that home.

Ultimately, the point I'm trying to make is that if one is able to kill a Leviathan, it should be an act of immense emotional & potentially even gameplay consequence, beyond removing it as a threat.

Sure, you'll have your a couple utter sociopaths who'll revel in such wanton destruction regardless of the severity of consequences, but I don't believe such opportunities for instilling powerful emotional & moral quandaries should be denied from the rest of the playerbase.

And I extend the same philosophy towards the act of harming other creatures.

[old bloom]

I go along surface between ||heat zone and ruins|| I’ve made about 4-5 runs back and forth and not had any major attacks by collector

[potent halo]

I mean that's fair, they do die once you kill the nodes themselves, though it does play out like a combat encounter even if your primary goal is to kill the source and not each individual parasite.

[mint seal]

beautifully put

[peak sparrow]

The lore at the Tadpole Pens is crazy

[chrome sapphire]

Yes, you aren't "forced" to do violence, since you can't force anyone to do anything... But that's still not the issue here. The issue is, that if you can't defend yourself, you are not given a way to escape, you can only RELY on violence.

Also, no. You aren't GIVEN tools, you earn them. Also, you still have to be able to use them proficiently. Still. Nobody is perfect. Some will find that the only way out is violence. If you don't have a stasis rifle, you can't easily and quickly get away. If you don't have the electric shock upgrade on your seamoth, you can't deter hostile fauna from ripping your lifeboat aparts 500m in a cave-system. That's death. You HAVE to do something, if that something becomes violence, then you should be able to choose that.

[swift kraken]

I think after I made it to the second region I went back to the coral region maybe once and that was it. Spent the entire second half of my playthrough in my second region

[hazy whale]

There's a lot, but many are really bad and basically useless. Only like 2 or 3 of them are worth using aside from the default ones you get.

[swift kraken]

I loved that part so much, insane

[tame bear]

I’m tired of being harassed all hours of the game when I just want to organize some plants in a grow bed meanwhile 361 mangoes are simultaneously breeding more of themselves and eating my hp 2 ticks at a time and getting in the way of my clicks. Flares do something for all of three seconds then it’s back to sfx spam and click blocking

[uneven vault]

I think the one im on is the alien one, so where is the range extender upgrade?

[unreal schooner]

am i stupid how do i attach the ladder to my base to connect it to the connected room. its not working 😭

[wraith fiber]

How do you spoiler something g

[pliant aurora]

yes but you wouldn't, like, know that without having it

[lapis ermine]

wow so many, I played for ~14 hours and didn't find any past the initial few

[thorn orchid]

I really want them change building so i can make my roof taller. I would like to see stairs, and like balconys, i feel so limited trying to build a vertical building

[oak harbor]

|| on each side, the character above backslash on most keyboards

[dapper crater]

why cant I place door 😠 (i have an inner wall)

[full haven]

put the room ontop or below the room then go inside and instal the ladder. must have clearence all the way around it

[old bloom]

I made a whole boatload (like seriously almost 2 big lockers worth) of threemoon temaki I hauled over to my other base😂

[verbal hull]

idk if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know how to get the compass or if there is one yet

[silk lantern]

One is In the wreck on top of a rock spire next to the alien city, and the second one is around one of the yellow dwelling pools also nearby to the city

[light gale]

you probably didn't find the ||bioscanner || upgrade

[junior hazel]

they do like 1 point of damage, too. They're seriously not dangerous, they're just anklebiters. Like the biters and blighters from the original.

[analog ferry]

||you have to get a bio scanner to unlock more||

[formal cliff]

You have to unlock a modification for the scanner to unlock them. All i’ll say, keep searching ship wrecks 😉 Spoilers: || Unlocking the bioscanner allows you to scan animals and earn their perks as biomods! ||

[swift kraken]

Dang!

[quartz roost]

wait the current ending in the game isnt the actual planned ending for the full game right?

[bleak stratus]

Why exactly is the collector leviathan called the collector leviathan?? (I'm too scared to scan it to find out ngl) Does it collect stuff or what? Don't really see it doing that

[solemn yoke]

you dont even need to do all that you can just go directly to and from past the ||collector leviathan|| and even if it grabs your tadpole it does barely any damage most amount of times i got grabbed was 4 its mostly 0-1 grabs and even with the 4 my tadpole wasnt even below 40 health

[swift kraken]

It is not

[tacit sundial]

How do this???

[prime shadow]

Theoretically could you build an extremely long moon pool through the collector leviathan passage to safely travel through with your tadpole?

[tired ingot]

Can’t wait to play sub 2 tomorrow with my brother we are going to get as far as you can in early access

[chrome garnet]

its not, the little things ive broken before are closed. i need to open them with another tool first i think. its the one where the marrowbreach is guarding it

[near blade]

So i found a big hunk of silver and scanned it, says to consult my noa for optimal search areas but I dont see any options for that

[peak sparrow]

Yeeeee i wish i could bring it back to my NoA

[old bloom]

I’m just saying it works, if people have issues

[sinful sonnet]

Is it bad that I spent 16 hours today playing subnautica 2

[hazy whale]

The compass is already there. It'a at the tip of the screen, unless for some reason your monitor has a bad display issue covering it up.

[amber pond]

how do i unlock more passive slots? i have a bunch of mods for it but can only equip 1?

[chrome sapphire]

Just don't let it attack you. The grab is the weak.

[tame bear]

I’m just saying if the game tries to make me choose between blowing up the world tree and saving it, this planets fixing to lose a titan class lifeform

[vocal quiver]

Odd no floating base. I was gonna build a base on the floor past everything but probably not doable

[onyx narwhal]

I’m trying to make a power line from turbines but there is no line connecting and I get no energy I need help when I use my power transmitters

[ripe junco]

when is ea 1.1 gonna release?

[normal reef]

i found a glitch were u can get out the map how do i report it

[late compass]

it will be released once it releases

[vital thorn]

Will we finally get a "praw suite" that actually looks like a crustacean this time? A "crab module" for our vehicle would be very interesting (it could break large objects and scare away creatures).

[exotic crypt]

We have no clue, but if I had to guess, in 3 months at a minimum

[verbal hull]

i'm so used to it being under depth i might be slow lol

[silk lantern]

No, you need to cure the juveniles first. Follow the roots away from the adult

[swift kraken]

It'll be called the Bullfrog apparently

[drowsy otter]

Hi

[formal cliff]

You gotta scan a scanner mate, then check which things to scan by checking the biomed

[craggy mango]

frog modual hehe

[wet finch]

pause the game and use the feedback button

[tacit sundial]

Ive seen people build half way thru then dive or builds corridors every so many meters to keep away from the collector

[dapper shore]

Oh please let it be quadrupedal

[late bramble]

finally beat the game

[blazing timber]

A friend just made me realize it exists, and wtf the spot is absurd..

[tardy idol]

I feel like the creatures are offended by my presence on their planet 😭

[analog ferry]

hopefully we can have another vehicle besides the trident and tadpole

[hazy whale]

It has a bunch of grabby tentacles to grab and smack things with.

[oak harbor]

I and so many others wanted a crab mech

[tame bear]

I desperately hope that they don’t keep doing the attachment/chassis gimmick. Maybe a hot take but the tadpol is kinda lame and I want another small class ship

[swift kraken]

You literally can't beat the game without the ||Bioscanner||, good luck y'all

[vocal quiver]

There's already leaked stuff in game files. Interesting stuff for the future

[minor geyser]

[meager minnow]

You are acting like the average player was always knifing leviathans to death. This just didnt happen. People would clear out stuff around their base and would occasionally kill something else when backed into a corner until they got the prawn suit in the very end of the game. And after that you bet there was a single revenge leviathan kill, but I didn't go on a sudden killing spree.

"If you killed things like the stalkers or sea treaders, you'd just screw yourself for resources in the long run. "

Yeah, what a great natural deterrent without completely removing killing. Making you think about where and what you killed, only killing when necessary, almost as if killing for survival... in a survival game...

If I have a hammer and a wild cat is attacking me in the wild, I'm smacking that with a hammer until it stops breathing like my life depends on it regardless of my odds.

"As for combat in 1. THERE WAS no combat in 1."

objectively false... Mobs had health, that health could be reduced to 0. Intentions or not, there was combat in SN1 and it was great...

"You don't need a knife, unless you're a murder hobo who can't look at a creature without wanting to stab it."

Not everything in life is black and while. If I were in the scenario our character was in, I would absolutely clear out wildlife around my established base for defense/safety. There is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE leap from that to murdering every creature on the planet.

We both agree that you can create deterrents without killing. And even though that is INCREDIBLY unrealistic, I'm fine with that if they give effective deterrents. and no, bonking a shark 300 times so it moves away for a short while is not fun nor effective. And anyone defending the current state of deterrents is doing a great disservice to the game.

[leaden void]

Yea I didn't do that. Just sat there after calling them over and let them go inside and figure it out 😂 As if I had just done it myself sort of deal

[ripe junco]

||how do you find the deepwing brooder||

[hoary wasp]

Anyone else having issues deconstructing parts of the base even though everything was removed from the wall or segment? Been running into these issues and just, looking for advice of a work around

[onyx narwhal]

If anyone knows how power transmitters work please dm or reply to me

[burnt zephyr]

whats the machine name that regenerates resources if u put it in it? im tryna find the fragments

[full haven]

seems like 16-20h of play beats the game in ea. i hope the full game merits at least 40+ hours of content

[drowsy otter]

Anyone got a friend to play with I just finished installing the game excited I guess

[bleak stratus]

Yeah but if it's called a collector, it should collect things using the tentacles, y'know? The fact its in a big open area just swimming around doing nothing confuses me. Thought there'd be some kind of nest down below its area but I didn't find anything.

[regal sleet]

Anyone experienced the game suddenly dropping to sub 10 FPS for no discernible reason?

[late compass]

seems like the game will be way bigger than subnautica 1 in content.

[swift kraken]

"there was combat in SN1 and it was great..."

It was the most boring feature in the game

[spiral nest]

where are red Quadrates I can’t find them

[wraith heron]

someone PLEASE tell me where the research outpost is

[solemn yoke]

Happened to me earlier with a corridor piece, just detach it from the rest of the base and use the refund bases menu on it

[tacit sundial]

Im looking for a friend to play with im about 6 hours in

[hazy whale]

Wait, the Great Jaws that we see in-game is only a baby? Oh dear lord...

[vital drum]

yo how do i open the console

[pearl sage]

called the alien ruins on ur pda the powerplant zone is the last angel comb

[junior hazel]

So what you're saying is, you want to be able to walk into another animal's home, in a world you don't belong in, covered in trash your species brought with them, to scan that trash and never come back, and your response to an animal doing exactly what it was supposed to do in its environment and probably defending its home from you in a way that was completely avoidable... is to kill it because that was annoying? Hell, you're gonna RISK killing it and being killed by it just because it was annoying? That is a huge stretch to justify killing something over.

You don't throw away efficiency and spend an hour killing a creature you're not supposed to kill with your prawnsuit because 'it's annoying' you do it because you enjoy killing it. It's far more efficient to just get your scans and leave.

Killing leviathans was never supposed to be a thing, and the devs actively stated they regretted the stasis rifle existing at all. You aren't supposed to kill leviathans, you were never supposed to kill leviathans, and being able to do it trivializes the risk they impose, the atmosphere, mood and quality of gameplay. If you want a game about killing things for fun, go play sons of the forest or valheim. There are plenty of other survival games that are combat focused. Subnautica is, has been, and was always about environmentalism, exploration, the dangers of corporate greed and the intricate balance of survival within nature, not against it. If you somehow missed that in all of this, that's on you.

[swift kraken]

You will get a signal directly to it when you are meant to find it

[modest sand]

Anyone else reach the end and hoping they had more story after that cliff hanger?!

[leaden void]

Sub 1 EA release was like, shallows and grassy plains, and that was about it. Sub 2 EA release has a lot more going on, it's a promising start. Will agree with my co-op though, it's a little disappointing that there's not much to after the current story besides just base building

[tame bear]

“It’s only a baby can you imagine the size of an adult” also starting to feel overdone

[woven pollen]

Any devs present here

[formal cliff]

|| the reason its called collector is because you can use its sonar to to collect stuff easier, thats not what the leviathan does. Why should a leviathan change its personality for our madeup name? ||

[past spindle]

yo can someone gift me sub 2 on steam i am broke asf and it looks so peak 😭

[frosty harbor]

do you guys think subnautica 1 remastered would sell more copies?

[narrow flare]

is there a second growbed fragment I can find, and is there anything similar to the alien containment unit from sn1/bz?

edit: as it turns out I am blind

[chrome sapphire]

You ever noticed those little blue eggs, that if you get close to them they disappear in a puff? Those are their eggs. Wherever those blue orbs are, they pass by there.

[hoary wasp]

I don't want to have to refund the entire base to remove a wall that is in the middle of a room, I need to remove this wall so I can install a ladder. It's like a catch 22 of walls.

[dapper crater]

why cant I place an interior door

[ripe junco]

OOOOOOOOOOOO thank you so much

[wet estuary]

gang, is it just me or does the collector leviathan tend to leave people alone 90% of the time, is this an early access thing?

[meager minnow]

It was necessary for survival and establishing a base in a scary, unfamiliar world. it didn't need to be fun or even the main focus. (nor should it, nor is the average person asking for that in SN2). It was a tool used for survival and balanced for effort vs reward .

So yes, in my books that was great.

[exotic crypt]

The second fragment is at the same base you find the first

[rancid cave]

can you have mods and still play multiplayer?

[tiny mason]

how do u unlock windows in s2

[raw vault]

||both growbed fragments are at the alien ruins ping (one on the roof, one next to the base)||, and no, no alien containment

bro i do not care about when the game wants me to find it i just want my depth module i do not careeeeeee

[hazy whale]

You need to make an interior wall first.

[full haven]

id like them to bring back the fish tanks and such and the egg system

[silk lantern]

Make glass

[raw parrot]

yes its p2p

[solemn yoke]

ah not sure then, maybe try reload an earlier save or reload the current save and see if it fixes

[last whale]

its definitely longer and grindier I feel like

[dawn oak]

well, without the stasis rifle in sn2, that would make leviathans even harder to kill. i think the option should still be there. it's a survival sandbox. the effort you'd have to put in to dodge a collector and kill it would be fair enough to let you kill it

[swift kraken]

I'm not sure there are any regions that you need the depth module to access before it gives it to you

[winter stream]

My buddy was off in the void and all I hear is a loud bang and him screaming over mic as he gets eaten by a kraken, 10/10 game

well sure but our naming isnt wrong, it doesnt say the leviathan collects, its a leviathan known for letting us collect.

[trail falcon]

You gotta make the room bigger around the moonpool. And the moonpool has to be a bit bigger too

[wraith fiber]

How do I get Celesteine

[junior hazel]

Survival sandbox doesn't mean all of them need to have the same level of ability to kill things. There are as many different styles of game in that genre as there are colors. Active combat mechanics with a focus on them goes entirely against subnautica's themes of environmentalism, exploration, the dangers of corporate greed and the intricate balance of coexisting with nature.

If you wanna just kill stuff to kill it, valheim is better for that, or the forest, or conan exiles, or ark survival. Not every game has to be about killing the bad guys, and it is honestly refreshing that subnautica ISNT like that.

[ripe junco]

where do you find the giant clam people keep talking about

[pearl sage]

its the singh blackbox pda or like 1300 meters east of the lifepod

[dawn oak]

but there isnt a focus on combat? also, they can then implement cons to outweigh or balance the pros of being violent. say you kill the collector, it was at the top of its food chain so now everything near it also dies and boom the surrounding area of where it used to be has ecologically collapsed and is now a dead zone. perhaps that then invites bloom to come in, if they add non-scripted bloom encounters in development

[meager minnow]

You keep harping on "kill stuff to kill stuff" like that's everyone's stated reasoning and it is not. In fact I have seen 0 people state "I just like killin' things."

Being stranded with no way out from an unfamiliar environment, one would kill stuff around a safe area they were establishing to make it safe.

Being attacked by a predator and defending against it by eliminating that predator is a natural response and doesn't make someone a murdering bloodthirsty monster.

I am glad I do not see the world in black and white as you do, because grey is almost always the answer.

My guy, if you find roaches in your house, you don't coexist with them. You poison the nest. Apex predator.

[leaden void]

It really isn't. 2 minutes for 20-30 titanium, use it up to build and by time you have, it's ready to harvest again, which is a problem. When it's late game and you want to build a mega base, sure, I can understand that. But it's placement for future story release is far too early imo

[chrome sapphire]

Calling anything a "collector" literally means it collects something/s. Come on...

I vote that it should have a pouch somewhere on its body, where we can pilfer some other leviathan's eggs, that it "totally not collected". That would actually make that thing relevant for more than just making us crap our pants. (the bot just warned me for the usage of the previous iteration of crap... So strict... So strict...)

We wouldn't even need to use violence! Just be very crafty in distraction.

I have a question about the game that I'd like to ask the developers. The game build currently being released is old, right? The videos the team released show many missing features. For example, the visual interface on the tadpole's steering wheel where you can see the charge and durability. The most pressing issue for me is the hydroturbines, which are currently just a cylinder that somehow hangs in the water, but the video shows them as a structure made of three turbines attached to the bottom. There are also many flaws in the construction system, such as arches and doors that are crooked and don't fit where they should. For example, I also haven't figured out how to make the wall of the residential module diagonally, or those semicircular protrusions on the wall from the trailer. There are no bulkheads for the cylindrical corridors, etc. If so, could you share at least an approximate date when all this will be included in the current release (if you even notice it, of course :))

I'd rather not because Marrowbreaches stalk you and bite multiple times per attack. Especially bad when they have Houndgars with them.

I'm guessing like the previous games, aquariums and creature eggs will be an eventual addition in a future update? I miss having my own lil group of cute little creatures

[junior hazel]

Humans being an apex predator and having the right to kill and exploit whatever we want is a corporate driven misrepresentation of our actual relationship with this planet, and how ecosystems function. Being an apex predator doesn't mean you get more, it means you need more of a very specific thing, in a very specific way, in a very specific environment, or you die.

Welcome to reality, real life alterra got you good.

nah fish definetly need to deal more damage, but only if you have a way to fight back, right now theyre just annoying but if you cant fight back and they deal more damage it would just be completely unfair

[marsh elk]

Y'know Ive been thinking, a good middle ground for the whole "we can't kill things" and "make fish do more damage" situation could be making the sonic resonator (or whatever it's called) temporarily stun creatures (in a similar way to the stasis rifle from 1 maybe)

[bronze fjord]

"right" has nothing to do with it. No real human being is going to set up shop in a survival situation and not deal with the issues of their own safety. If a wolf shows up outside your door and won't leave, Mr. Wolf is going to either get on Team Human, or Mr. Wolf is not going to be a wolf for long. In real life - sure, there are mechanisms to deal with predators moving into human territory. In Subnautica? There's just you. You're not going to just put up with being chewed on every time you wanna leave your house. You're going to do something about it. That's facts.

[open creek]

Something I would really love to see in a future update would have to be like mid-sized rideable creatures.
Weather it be just a temp joyride then the creature kicks you off, or even a fully tameable interaction that you could even fabricate a saddle for.

Frankly, if you want REALISM. The realistic consequence of stabbing a huge carnivore with a knife in an environment you weren't built for that actively impedes your ability to move freely would be getting immediately and violently torn to shreds in self defense with no possibility of escape unless it decides to let you go on its own.

In real life, especially humans in survival situations, humans who run up and stab bears get mauled to death. The realistic combat you're actually asking for is stupid people poking a bear and getting mauled. Plain and simple.

The larger fish really don't need to be killable

[meager minnow]

You are saying to everyone here that killing point blank period has no place in this game and doesn't make sense because "humans should be peaceful and not want to hurt environments."

And I and many others are arguing that even if one holds those values in nature, in self defense/survival (a grey area) killing is justified and normal. Eat or be eaten is literally nature.

Your then response to that is always something along the lines of "you just want to kill because you like killing." every time.

That is, in fact, a black and white way of thinking. There is a middleground that makes sense.

[leaden void]

Eh it's 50/50 tbf. I for one do agree SMALL fish, ones we catch and eat, should be killable, with the larger fish not having the same deal. But I also believe ||that they're saving that aspect for w/e we're supposed to show our "mercy" too at the end, the big bad sort of thing ||

[worthy tusk]

The lack of response when hitting things in general gives subnautica a plasticky feeling sometimes. The fish are just most apparent example of it IMO.

[old bloom]

It’s not about mercy, the planet should be trying to kill “you” not the other way around

[heady tendon]

They will be changing and updating things as time passes

[turbid scaffold]

Definitely. I think the big issue right now is that the current methods of deterring annoying creatures aren't very effective, so a lot of players want to kill them for being annoying. Those deterrants need to be better and more satisfying, and the predators need to be threatening enough to be scary instead of annoying

[clear orbit]

Good demo honestly

[hazy whale]

You can kill small fish by cooking them. Otherwise, you'd just be murdering wildlife. Keep in mind that our player character arrived with scientists who are ecologically friendly. It wouldn't make sense from a story standpoint to just wipe out every fish.

[flint kiln]

All the talk about killing fish has been pointless since the first game. The developers were furious when they saw players slaughtering everything alive with a stasis rifle and knife. I'm not sure, but I think I heard them say their goal for the game's atmosphere was a constant sense of tension and "being a small player in a big, scary ocean," so they'll probably never add that.

[raw vault]

a thing about balancing that i feel needs to be adjusted is creature damage and their aggression. currently things are SUPER aggressive, but deal very minimal damage (primarily small and medium sized fauna). i think less aggression, but more damage would make the world feel more threatening. also, with the new creature interactions, less aggression to players would make creature hunting feel more balanced in a sense where they aren't only attacking you, but attacking everything else an equal amount

[kind mulch]

[late raft]

In every other game, where we could kill, it has felt that way. Taking away our only method of dealing in absolutes was genuinely just virtue signaling by the devs

[junior hazel]

It has no point in THIS game because that's literally what the game is about. You do kill things, you just don't kill things that are unreasonable to kill. Every time you cook a fish, it dies. You kill enough to survive, and do not exceed that. What yall wanna do with your knives is exceeding that.

And @bronze fjord. In that case, then you'd agree it's unreasonable to equip people in a survival setting, trying to colonize an alien world, who aren't allowed to use guns, with a knife so they can act stupid and get themselves killed by stabbing an apex predator?

[wheat bane]

I understand that, but subnautica one and BZ had the same thing. I think its a baked in theming thing, many things do not have responsive decals, sounds, effects, or anything when struck. I find it odd and plasticy, but it seems to be a desired aspect of the game

[chrome sapphire]

There is also the issue of not being able to physically fight back, being a viscerally unfair thing to experience. A lot of people have had plenty of childhood trauma, where they couldn't fight back against someone bigger, even if they wanted to. Now a game is mimicing that same feeling. Not a good look.

[minor geyser]

Friends not included? You can look for group in our forums or post you're looking here: #1504382464934547466!

[weak ledge]

It would definitely make sense for someone’s moral convictions to take a back seat or for a character to decide that the ecological impact of a few murders (identical to the impact of killing them when you cook them instead) is minimal.

[white wasp]

||there are some under one of the wrecks that you have to go in and then go under to destroy||

[surreal gale]

am i supposed to make it to the tree?

[bronze fjord]

Bluntly, the player didn't ask to be here. The player signed up to be a long, long way from this place, and from my eye there's no chance of leaving. What that means is, humans live here now too, and humans have the same right to eat needlers as the needlers have to eat humans. Nobody asked for this, it's the situation that everyone finds themselves in. Rabbits have the same right to live as wolves do - and, ecologically, a rabbit is how an ecosystem turns wolf-inedible grass cellolose into wolf-edible fat and protein. That's what survival is - if the fishes are going to attack the humans, the humans are going to attack back, and we have thumbs. And fabricators. And a whole mess of technologies that the devs don't want to make the game about, but, fine. The idea that a human in the situation the player character finds themselves in would just let themselves get nibbled on constantly without doing something about it is laughable - okay, fine, the devs don't want us bazooking everything in our paths, that's acceptable. But that means the game needs to supply tools to deal with the problem that killing the predators solves.

[old bloom]

You can have your opinion. I don’t see it as virtue signaling. I can have my own opinion too. That’s how it works

[gleaming plank]

How do you build a 2nd floor to the base? I have the ladder, but it doesn't place a hole or anything in the floor... are there Vertical Corridors? I only have a horizontal one...

[buoyant steeple]

I don't think most of the people advocating for killable wildlife are also necessarily seeking to be able to run up to hostile creatures & murder them unprovoked.

[full haven]

i wanted to use the ele but with its current limits its a niche thing. they need to allow the poles to snap together allowing a seamless descend or climb

[dapper shore]

Our actions in game that aren’t scripted events have nothing to do with the story anyways so that argument is moot. I don’t want to go around killing everything I see, but as someone in here has stated, hitting something and it not even reacting is incredibly jarring. Also, if the predators are allowed to kill me I should be able to do the same IF they decide to add a tool that allows us to do that, however the multitool would be a terrible weapon for that.

[hazy whale]

Why are people booing me? I'm literally right. The player character is a pioneer, and they have a duty to keep environments healthy and waste as little as possible. The PDA even reaffirms this.

[wanton basin]

i am personally fine without being able to kill creatures, but i have to say that hostile creatures are probably my biggest negative complaint in this game at the same time. nibblers and hammerheads in the early area are just genuinely unfun imo with how frequently they spawncamp you and how few ways you have to actually get them away

im officially stuck ||After doing the angel cone below power generator, it leads me to the controls, the bottom one seemed done, the top one showed me 4 things that needs to be done (angel cone and 4 diagrams) and the turbine needs to be fixed. My guess is whilst fixing the things i would find pdas that lead me to finding the item that is used to fix the turbine (as it says unknown tool). Though going to the places which i assume the diagrams are leading me to (like the bulbs below methane pipe) there's nothing to scan or interact with. I'm Stuck. TL;DR After Axum Vision what do i do||

[turbid scaffold]

I would like to hunt fish with an axe instead of grabbing them with my bare hands and shoving them in my mouth personally. Like I don't want to kill anything bigger I just want to be able to hunt

[exotic crypt]

Yeah, the lack of killing isn't really the problem, it's just the lack of effective deterrents and credible threat from most creatures

[spare eagle]

if someones able to make me a vehicle mod could u dm me?

[old bloom]

Clearly you didn’t spend a lot of time in SN1 chat. Plenty of glory killing in there

[atomic obsidian]

make sure your two rooms are large enough, the ladders are quite annoying to place sometimes and they need a fair bit of room

[delicate field]

i think leviathans should not be killable so you cant just clear them all out they should be a permanent threat i think but i hate those mango guys and i want them to be killable because i hate them so so so much

[clear orbit]

I hate those too

[opaque oak]

Yeah ladders need to be tighter like they were in subnautica 1

[astral tusk]

Weapons not doing anything when you hit creatures with them feels unpolished and intentionally anti fun.

[eternal cedar]

i feel like if creatures are killable, they should be able to respawn eventually, but there should also be a better permanant deterrent for bases

[old bloom]

Flares are really good. Try them

It’s so cool how they tease you then attack but there’s so many of them

[oak ore]

you all realize theres a massive difference between a reaction from your tools and dying right

[chrome sapphire]

You seem to have no clue about how humans behave in a suvival situation. They tend to behave like territorial animals. You know what happens to something that annoys a human in it's territory? That's right. It gets effed up! In the game, we're in a survival situation. We tend to feel territorial. You don't want to mess with those instincts. You'll ruin the game for all those players.

[hazy whale]

I do agree that there needs to be a way to deter creatures outside of the distraction flare. (By the way, that's completely different from hunting.) Personally, I think there should be a sonic defense system for bases that repels them.

[spiral river]

[bronze fjord]

[old bloom]

Get that sort of crap out of here

[atomic obsidian]

at the alien ruins base, most people put theirs right next to it but pretty much anywhere around there is ideal since all late game stuff is there and HEAPS of materials are around there

[dapper shore]

I personally would prefer something permanent that doesn’t clutter my inventory

[turbid scaffold]

Okay well this take is stupid let's move on

[drowsy musk]

Are you sure it's not intended? Since In Below Zero for example I hunted the leviathans to extinction so I could just come and go as I pleased. Maybe it's made on purpose to signal that you can't kill everything in your way this time

[calm pagoda]

They should add smth into the game like how Minecraft has a realm thing where you can join that world anytime even if the owner is offline.

[meager minnow]

Again black and white...

Killing to eat, good yes. Killing to defend ALSO good... I love animals but if one is attacking me im not simply bonking it once IRL, if its me or it I choose me. If I were on this planet I would be killing the shark and eel equivalent predators for my safety.

What is it you think I want to do with a knife? as I stated multiple times its not murdering leviathans. Just because you saw a video of a youtuber doing it doesn't mean its the norm, nor is it what people are asking for.

Defense and base establishment is a perfectly reasonable reason to kill something. Regardless of your thoughts on conservation.

No one here is suggesting extinction level murdering nor leviathan killing, but keep pretending they are.

[still thorn]

Can you not deconstruct Ingots

[heady tendon]

S2 has already proven more detailed with the models, we may see some things added, throw it in a suggestion in their forum!

[white wasp]

Did y'all not play the first game? It literally talks about how you only have the knife because "weapons were removed from standard survival blueprints following the massacre on Obraxis Prime. The knife remains the only exception." The human population has decided against it. One the one hand, yeah maybe running into fish should kill them or hitting them should, but on the other, it's really not canonical for the survivor to have anything close to a weapon that can handle the big fish.

[wet finch]

||I just found out the distance between Proteus and Earth, is this the end of the EA?||

[wheat bane]

Yeah, I'm watching these arguments and it doesn't seem to me that there is a strong argument in favor of preventing us from having tools to deal with environmental factors, including fish. I mean, there is barely any actual plantlife on the planet.

Thats kinda the theme. There is an ecological pox that is making it impossible for things to find their place in their heirarchy. Humans historically have been that annihilating factor. I think the theme of Subnautica 2 is to make us the same as the fish, a rabbit in a dying forest.

But, we're humans. The way we survive is making tools Preventing us entirely from making necessary survival tools seems extremely undiegetic.

[weak ledge]

The devs don’t need to cause a slight hit to everyone’s experience to stop some number of people who play the game differently from enjoying the game however they want to. You don’t have to hunt down creatures if you don’t want to. It takes nothing away from you if you want to play pacifist, it doesn’t create some busted new strat since there’s no stasis and no resource drops from the big creatures. I can kinda get why the devs would want to make a change like this, I don’t at all understand why a player is against player choice

[full haven]

a plasma flare gun would work using a battery . and allow the flares to be thrown further

[old bloom]

If you close the game you can choose on the side to “load” game and it gives options from autosave or manual save

[junior hazel]

You are not a wolf. You are a monkey in the water. And killing all of the animals that might bite you has consequences.

It doesn't match the games themes. Combat was never intended to be a focus in all three of the subnautica titles. The new tool lets you defend yourself well enough to get your scans and loot and go so you CAN do something about it, that's just not good enough for you. "but I wanna kill it" is not a good enough justification for departing from the game's centeral themes and story to sate your uninformed beliefs about how humans interact with their environment outside of civilization.

[potent halo]

Creatures are meant to react, and it might actually genuinely be part of the EA jank that it's not as consistent as it should be, but outside of something like a hammerhead even the bigger mangos should be dissauded slightly

Similarly the flashlights are not as effective as some devs have suggested they should be

[cinder trail]

Is there a feedback page or something>

[cobalt kindle]

So with regards to the game causing crashes and shut downs. I have just gone through the settings to cap the FPS (pc native is 144 hz) and as soon as I run the game my Fans go to 100% and the GPU starts getting hot immediately and that's during load up and menu screen. WTAF is causing this because the game settings are set as Medium by default. I closed the game and ran 7 days to die and red dead and my fans didn't even need to get to 50% and no issues with over heating.

[teal island]

[eternal cedar]

i also feel like if for some reason you dont want to defend yourself against the fish if the killing was implemented, you could just, not make the tools?

also we literally just pick up fish and either make them die from lack of water or cooking them hopefully not alive, we already kill things, just let us defend ourselves and if for some reason you dont want to dont

[sinful solstice]

How do I shrink the room when it's too big? For some reason when I try to shrink the room it wont let me

[oak ore]

thats not the point lmao

[astral tusk]

They can make some things not killable. The Leviathans in this game are all huge. So huge that unless you have a stasis rifle which they're never adding back and stabbed it for an hour they wouldn't die. They can make some smaller enemies have armor if they don't want you to be able to kill them. But not being able to do anything and the collision not even registering just doesn't feel right.

Quite a beast, huh. I managed to bait him into being obsessed with my tadpole and then got him scanned without me or my tadpole dying. Quite a scary experience

[hazy whale]

But yeah I do think there should be Sonic Defense Systems for bases. Like, speakers that you can set up that deter aggressive/defensive creatures up to a certain range from gathering at your base.

[old bloom]

Troilite is currently only found in the ||metal farms area|| it’s easy to softlock if you use it all up and don’t save any for your own ||metal farms||

[chrome sapphire]

A survival-multitool-hatchet that can break apart rocks should definitely be more lethal than a dinky little knife. I'm sorry, but the only thing I get from this aspect of the game, is a political stance being lorded over good game design... That's not a good look.

I think we should be able to damage small fish and maybe even damage the larger ones, but killing a leviathan would be unrealistic and even the ones that try to eat you would need a lot of damage.

[meager minnow]

You are a monkey in the water with an advanced human brain and human technology.

The consequences of killing animals that bite you are that they no longer bite you.

Killing creatures is and has been a part of humanity since the dawn of humanity regardless of how you feel in the current day.

We wouldn't be here today if that weren't the case.

I don't get how it's a political stance that the game about exploration doesn't want you to focus on killing things...? The only thing I'd say is the Resonator should allow you to push predators away and stun them.

Game is in early access I'm sure they'll tweak stuff here and there

[drowsy musk]

And as a result we have mass hunted many species into extinction.

"why cant we have weapons, i want to defend myself"
"i refuse to use the self defense tools avaliable to me"

nah this game is kinda crazy for this. Like amazing up to this point, but this is actually enough to make me really upset. I think I will have to completely restart. Being able to softlock yourself from a limited resource is actually wild. I have 15 hours on this save. This really blows.

[atomic obsidian]

is there an ultra high capacity tank in sn2? and if so where would one find such blueprint?

[sour zephyr]

any tips for getting past collector leviathan i wanna get the scanner upgrade

[bronze fjord]

None of the predators except the two leviathans are worth defending yourself against. They're just incredibly annoying, and there's no way to politely tell them to permanently leave you alone, which is why people want to kill them. If you don't want people to kill the annoying fish, you need to give them a way to permanently deal with the problem.

Flares are dumb, didn't use them in the last two games, not gonna use them in this one, they're an inventory and crafting soak that doesn't permanently solve the problem at hand. There are plenty of tools that could solve the problem - the Seamoth zapper from the previous games is a great example, don't care whether the boneshark dies, really care if it keeps annoying me. Don't care if the reaper dies, really care if it keeps eating my seamoths. Zappy makes the problem go away, player happy.

There is no tool to make the annoying things go away. Player sad. Killing the annoying thing makes it go away. Player would be happy. Player wants tool to kill the annoying thing.

Just give the player a tool to make the annoying thing go away.

[paper imp]

Are the printed humans still organic in any way? Like I know they still need food and water but would they be able to reproduce? On the off chance that ||Your character isn’t actually the last human in the universe||

[ivory relic]

Look, I'm sure the devs are taking on board feedback about the current evasion methods being a bit finnicky and unreliable and needing solutions. That said, they've always taken a strong stance against violence as a solution and won't implement creature killing for your entertainment. This is not that kind of game. Plenty of those kinds of games exist if that's the experience you're looking for.

[hollow jungle]

[hazy whale]

Weapons were removed from standard survival blueprints following the massacre on Obraxis Prime. The knife remains the only exception.

After more insight, the knife had been removed and replaced with a multitool so that people don't kill each other.

How far down do the void barriers go? Does the map either keep extending out to the barriers everywhere or does it slip down into the void without crossing the barriers at some point?
I doubt anyone's explored that far to the edges to test the boundaries but if anyone has I'd appreciate info

So far I got from the lifepod:

West Border: 345 meters
North Border: 555 meters
South Border: 450 meters
East Border: 2,265 meters

Yet to figure out the depth limits for the void to trigger

[weak ledge]

“All art is political” means there are philosophical messages in every piece of art because it’s created by someone with a particular perspective and experience and conveys an aspect of human existence with philosophical implications. It doesn’t mean people wanting to play a fun game should be forced to not be able to kill fish in a survival game where they eat fish.

[full haven]

i say with the adaptations and the right passive and active skill setup there are other ways to play the game without the need to kill. part of the challenge is to figure out how to get a thing or solve a puzzle while not starving or choking. the ways to kills things rob some of the games best elements.

[leaden void]

No but keep looking around, there's quite a few nodes. Just suffering the classic conundrum of Subnautica atm: The resource you need seemingly being nonexistent.

[turbid scaffold]

Okay. So I agree that small fish should die. But subnautica not giving the player a weapon that can kill things effectively was an intentional choice from the very first game. I think they went a bit too far with it from a gameplay perspective this time (let me hunt halfmoons), but allowing the player to go gung-ho and kill all the monsters they see without trouble would go against the game's core principles. In subnautica 1 it was tedious and unrewarding, and in this game it's impossible. Simple as that.

I actually like playing a survival game where i dont feel like a colonizer

[mild spoke]

how?

[chrome sapphire]

"Don't want you to focus on violence" and "Unfairly preventing all forms of it" are two very different things. The repulsor cannon in SN1 would be like your version of the resonator. It would need to be hella effective to be able to deter bigger predators, so it would launch smaller critters into the shadow-zone.

@hazy whale (slopwmode) So what? My point still stands. People could definitely still kill each other with that thing. All you need is a stick. And that stick has a built-in hatchet. Super lethal... except it magically isn't. lol

Oh I think it will very much be the same in this game too, the only thing keeping people from dying is the big red wall denoting the void and the music that plays to warn the player about a leviathan nearby (which I hope they rework because it kinda kills the scare factor a lil bit)

[royal arch]

Just finished the game and most shouldn't be disappointed by the ending, for a game that it's in early access it was a great wrap up for starting off the story. There are a few bugs but nothing game breaking mainly just minor inconveniences. For what the game has worth every penny and if someone hasn't bought it yet, I suggest you do.

[potent halo]

I think it's a much more grounded take on it, there will probably be a more detailed explanation of how it turns the thermal energy and byproducts into fuel once we actually reach the tree.

[marsh elk]

there's always enough trolite twin just look harder
you should have enough if you're looking in the right area

[weak ledge]

I don’t see what’s wrong with tedious and unrewarding. Nobody is forced to play the game violently if they don’t want to. It’s already disincentivized enough. There are other levers to pull if the devs don’t think so though, if thermoblade charge went down and could no longer cook fish if you used it too much that makes it even less rewarding, it becomes actively harmful to go around killing things

[rocky sonnet]

Ok I have a problem, I'm stuck in my tadpole in the dock at my base. but I'm not fully docked? just under the water a bit and the tadpole is rotated weirdly. I can't get out of the tadpole, I can't even move it apart from rotating it around. I tried waiting for death but I respawned exactly wherev I was instead of my lifepod. Any help?!??!! I might have lost my save forever!

[hazy whale]

Again, the player character is a pioneer, a group of ecological scientists. I doubt they would attack fish, and so it's not in the game.

i wasnt reading what i was supposed to do after i collected the black box for wonder, am i supposed to get the heat tolerance adaptation?

You gotta get it from one of those adaptation flower thingies.

[little osprey]

Ohhh I never noticed that, thank you!

[dapper shore]

It is not about attacking fish it’s about defending yourself, which is an inherent human instinct

[full haven]

passive slots come from the bio beds

[sick slate]

does this game have dedicated servers?

[uncut prairie]

around 90-100 ish im on a 5090 and 9950x3d tho so

[wheat bane]

thern why am i getting mixed messages? I'm getting like 5 different reports of respawning, not spawning, other areas, no other areas, theres only 8 but maybe theres 10 or 12 idk man

I just bought the game, How do I clim Leviethan statue

[untold pine]

Also ||I LOVE how the collector is drawn to bright lights and its curious and hungry||

[harsh python]

Honestly, I feel like giving the players the freedom to do it is better than outright denying it, though it should be disincentivized as much as possible to promote surviving instead.

[worthy kindle]

So I crafted somethin while I had a full inventory, but now I think it got voided because I only used items that weren't in my inventory at the time

[swift kraken]

When I was playing I did imagine this would be an incredibly easy way for people to softlock themselves. My only advice would be to look really hard for more

[desert lance]

Fair enough, I just think that the ||amount of water coming from the top of it would correlate to it being a filter feeder, pushing out all the excess water that doesnt have any more nutrients. and the huge scales underwater could be like tree roots, so it could honestly be both||

[versed rain]

I got the same thing. going to the main menu fixed it for me.

[leaden void]

I do wonder when they'll give us powersuits

[placid mulch]

I just like how they have the walls period, because my anxiety spikes not knowing when the developer's code is under my feet or nonexistent.
At least with other games with 3d movement (ex no man's sky) no matter how far you go you always knew the coding never ended and got you killed.
Having a consistent "DON'T GO HERE, END OF MAP" sign is vital to allow some people to play without them having so much anxiety that they never leave the spawn. I almost got stuck in that loop until I realized I could use creative mode to find the borders without risking anything

[burnt kelp]

does the ||collector leviathan throw anyone else deep into the void or does it just hate me||

[marsh elk]

just make noa call you a stupid stinky murder hobo if you kill too many fish, trust me

edit: didn't mean to reply my bad

[hazy whale]

You're having two completely different conversations. People are asking for the ability to mass slaughter fish. I do think the multitool should deter predators slightly and have a bit more of a thunk, but it shouldn't deal actual damage.

[hoary wasp]

I didn't touch any setting, launched default right into the game on a 3060. Game has been +60 FPS on a 2k monitor. Most optimized UE5 early access game I seen outside when they moved satisfactory from UE4 to UE5

[heavy pilot]

does the ||shiver leviathan|| have a minimum depth? like, can i avoid it by traveling at the surface like with the ||collector||

[vivid flax]

Could you tell me what is the zone? 🥺

[summer jay]

am i the only one who thinks that the not killing stuff is a good thing? i feel a lot more like im at the mercy of the ecosystem and the immersion is a lot better i think

[rocky sonnet]

I tried that multiple times. no good. unstuck button doesn't work either

[mild spoke]

thats quite unfortunate for me isnt it then, do u think the devs will fix this or am i just screwed on this save?

[eternal cedar]

if you guys want the "oh no you cant kill anything thats bad and against the whole point!" route then just let that be part of the game, if you want killing fish to be bad, make it have an impact, make it for the bad ending or something,

also no people arent asking to mass slaughter fish, i just dont want to be haranged by the same stupid fish everytime i leave my base

[cunning holly]

Is there a way to submit feedback without using the "give feedback" menu option?

[pliant scaffold]

subnautica 2 stuck on running and when I press stop its stuck on stopping?

[noble raven]

I have loved subnautica as a series for years and have 300+ hours across zero and 1 but after 6 hours of 2 i can safely say the decision to remove the ability to defend yourself and hunt fish in a Survival game is extremely unrealistic this is not a question on morality or ethics it is a matter of gameplay and the genre. You shouldn’t be punished by hammerheads the who camp under your moonpool constantly never leaving and then be told that you should try to coexist with the creature. If coyotes are attacking my dog for example irl i will absolutely defend my dog from harm being a passifist does not equal being defenseless.

[tired narwhal]

wheres the blueprint for the roof pumps, roof panel, roof cylinder, rug, and sign

[final gust]

Can someone please point me towards the Biomod scanner!!

[chrome sapphire]

Ecological scientists have at the very least the foresight to not go where they will get eaten, and if they absolutely have to, they'd bring enough drugs and guns to shoot said drugs with to sleep all the animals that would want to eat them. So no. Still doesn't work.

Also, pioneers/explorers, especially those who expect hostile fauna, would most DEFINITELY bring guns.

The problem here is, that the game feels unfair and unreal, because critters in a survival game don't die. The suspension of disbelief goes right out the window! It's a bad game design choice.

[meager minnow]

I agree, but I have yet to see a single combat defender say they wanted to kill the leviathans with a knife.

Everyone I have seen just wants to kill the small annoying stuff near the bases, or in self defense; including myself.

Most of us are also fine with leviathans being completely immune.

People are jumping straight from, wanting to kill local small to medium aggressive fauna to "YoU wErE nEvEr MeAnT tO kIlL lEvIaThAnS!"

It is frankly an exhausting argument and its a huge leap of logic.

[wheat bane]

I have made 8 ingots, I know people can make 10. I have heard that there is 12. I literally have NO CLUE

[full haven]

about the tadpole getting stuck in the moonpool, in a multiplayer game when someone logs into or out of your server can cause the tadpole to shift up or down causing it to get stuck in a static or clip stick into something else like a habbitat leg or corner

[sick slate]

how can me and a friend share a server so that we can play without both of us being online?

[wet finch]

Fair enough, but I think the intended way for the void to be is gonna be similar to the first two games where your PDA notifies you that you've gona outta bounds and then you gotta run before the leviathan gets ya

[limber reef]

hey did they fix the perspective so you can see actual leviathan size

[potent halo]

I think ||It's probably only possible for it to live using a bunch of different methods of gathering nutrients from an entire self contained ecosystem that makes up the tree, but I think the core to allowing it to reach that scale is the energy density of nuclear power and that the titan rockbore roots possibly brought it as much trace material as possible to fuel it's core reactions||

[brisk smelt]

anyone with a mic wanna start a new game together? 18+ please

[tulip dagger]

gotta love games with forced waiting, one day my ||metal farms|| will be finished

[dapper shore]

This is placebo as you go to hit anything in the world and nothing reacts, also the smaller fish instead of getting knocked out of the way of the tadpole move it and act as if they are terrain or one of the larger fish.

[ionic stratus]

Dang there's Already 88 mods for the game on mexus

[placid mulch]

yeah, that was a massive saving factor, it helped me know what the void looked like and when I crossed a boundary

[dim cloud]

What does laying down do? If anything

[swift kraken]

I think everyone wants better deterrents and the ability to keep annoying fish away from their base. I don’t think that’s all that controversial

[serene badge]

why do parts of your base just refuse to shrink

[hazy whale]

No guns or sedative darts. The massacre on Obraxis prime bans it. Did people not play the first game?

[versed rain]

Oh... I got my friend to deconstruct the tadpole extension and then rejoining the game

[oak ore]

you all seem to just be mad you cant deter the fish. you dont need to kill them to deter them
the mechanic doesnt work right now. suck it up. its early access

[weak ledge]

I’m mad that I can’t kill them

[exotic crypt]

The big with killing bigger threats in Subnautica is it's so deincintivized that it might as well not be an option
It's really something that only benefited the people who wanted to kill those creatures
And given Subnautica 2 is continuing that trend, the development time that would be spent making those creatures killable could be better spend on other methods of deterrent

I do agree with making like the small fish you hunt for food killable, but there's really not much of a reason to make anything bigger killable

[old bloom]

Over 2000 hrs in SN1 (lost track for BZ) there never was any need to kill, especially leviathans.
Again, just an opinion. But one the devs share.
I do think there are some balancing things that can be addressed, but come on, the game just came out barely 2 days ago. Give the early access process a chance.

[vapid latch]

anyone knows how to stack rooms?

[leaden void]

I just want a better detterent for the damn sitaray, and for it to be nerfed. Lil bugger is so overtuned imo, whilst nearly everything else is undertuned, more just a nuisance

Data mining suggests otherwise and the void might be something we actively explore

[cosmic sundial]

When my friend got in the tadpole after I added the wing chassis when he moved it, it goes down so by pressing space bar and looking upwards we were able to fly hundreds of meters in the air since it goes really fast

[limber reef]

Mod developers didn't have to deal with Krafton ong 🙏

[wheat bane]

trust me, im right there with you. My last 2 hours on this save has just been scouring this one area. I'm kinda sick of this game's "scan textures for bumps" gameplay loop

[burnt kelp]

what do you mean by "having the developers code under my feet"

[hoary wasp]

Base building needs slopped corridor pieces IMHO we need ramps that go up and down / \

[steel bloom]

finished the EA story today, cannot wait for the full game! now to build massive bases all over until then, thanks devs!!

[hazy whale]

Also, again, the base thing should be really simple. They should add a sonic deterrent system as a base building thing that sends out audio frequencies that deter fish that would harm the base.

[swift kraken]

Relevant message #subnautica-2-chat message

[old bloom]

I wish we had a build camera like NMS, that would be really sweet

[heavy gale]

Is there only one collector leviathan?

[marsh elk]

i literally just want a thermoblade equivalent to cook fish while i'm far from home. i dont want to stuff my pockets with nutrient blocks just to not starve to death on long outings 😭

[runic wagon]

My character became one with the fish (figuratively) and now I have unlimited O2

[weak ledge]

Levis sure, but everything midsize should be possible but unrewarding. I do like the idea that leviathans are unkillable cosmic horrors, but something around the size of the PC should be killable with some effort, if for no other reason than a last resort if you get backed into a corner

[uneven maple]

Is there a water filtration system?

[leaden void]

Makes sense, it's a nasty piece of work for no reason 😭

[vapid latch]

how do i stack bases on the game?

for mid to late game a habitat elevator would be sweet

Day 3 progress: Expanded my base, made the tadpole, found another adaptation to get heat resistant, found the repair tool, explored the heat area and found lithium and gold and also saw a glimpse of the levithans (it looked cool) then I ran away

[meager minnow]

This exactly.

When it is kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, all "morality" about ecosystems go out the window.

You would gain a will to survive.

No one is asking to extinct species (which the scientists WOULD be against.

But scientists being attacked aren't gunna just lie down and become food "because its good for nature I guess;" just because they are ecologists lmao 🤣 . They would fight the predator like their life depended on it. And if it is int heir new home, that would involve killing that specific creature (not its entire species where people will now INSTANTLY jump to in their minds).

[cosmic sundial]

[exotic crypt]

No, your most renewable source or water is growing plants for fibrous pulp, then crafting that into water

[atomic obsidian]

excactly, ||the story and logs specifically state how this ecosystem is dying and hanging on by a thread ||

[placid mulch]

fr, it's a freakin survival game, you're supposed to be able to kill crap to stay alive, like with literally almost every other game where you can die
Anyone saying you shouldn't be able to kill things are just weirdos imo.
It should definitely be balanced better than the previous games where you could just swing a tiny blade at a mountain of a creature until it died tho

@burnt kelp Knowing when you're in the map vs when you're in an undeveloped area of physics. Which is exactly what the void is, just a bottomless pit with nothing other than the water providing swimming physics. It creates anxiety for some people not knowing where the safe boundaries are in video games. It's not the good anxiety either, like the kind that comes from gameplay tension, but rather one that locks you in place and tells you to turn back while also conflicting with "BUT WHAT IF THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE" screaming in the back of your mind, and the combo drives me insane

[eternal cedar]

even story and muh themes aside, not being able to fight back against predators is just genuinely unfun and a chore, having to leave the tadpole every 2 seconds to repair it or just use 5 medkits its just repetitive and annoying

[full haven]

im sure it will be just like before. A fix all the priority bugs. B finish the games main content. C polish

[leaden void]

I don't even think the stalker was as bad as the sitaray lmao, and would at least disappear after a good smack as if telling off a naughty kid. Def overtuned. The only fish I find balanced is the bullethead. Clearly meant to be death from a thousand cuts and clearly can do just that, funny but annoying as heck

[silk wharf]

the lore is highkey peak👀

[swift kraken]

I don’t think you should be able to kill things

[potent halo]

One thing about the environment that is expressed by the story is that even the subsistence fishing we do is pushing the environment closer to collapse, like it's literally all on a knife's edge ||Like the whole section of the planet is dying because the world tree is dying and it's essential to the ecology of the entire system||

[elfin rose]

can someone help, im stuck. its telling me to ||investigate tadpole pens but i need a code, and it hasnt told me where to find the code at all. am i supposed to have a "blackbox zip" icon or something?|| what do i do

[meager minnow]

I did. Which part are you talking about? The fact that I can "respawn as a clone?" Because depending on how you view cloning, I effectively die and someone else takes over with my thoughts and past.

I as a person would ABSOLUITELY still fight for my individual survival. Also to avoid pain.

If that isn't what you are referring to please let me know.

[dapper shore]

It’s just a little odd seeing as we’re part of a colony ship and a small group of humans left in the universe. Valuing our lives so little when there is evidence of the AI in charge of reprinting being unreliable.

[hazy whale]

"Kill or be killed" and "eat or be eaten" doesn't have much of an impact when you can just print a new body when you die, thus making you immortal. Heck, the NoA literally tells you to die on purpose just to feed the ecosystem.

[rocky sonnet]

Hey so I'm stuck in my tadpole and have to get someone to join my game and deconstruct it's attachment that's casuing the bug, otherwise I've lost this save forever. can anyone quickly join my game to help?

[burnt kelp]

oh thats what you mean, you just worded it in a way that i didnt really understand mb
i think some of that fear is intended when it comes to the void imo

[gray nebula]

You dont sound like a good company hire me personally im dying for the scan

[chrome sapphire]

You mean to tell us, that the game makers who want you to lie down and die because it's good for nature, will write the scientists in their story to do that? What are the odds!

[warped hollow]

i feel like people still have an urge to not die
fight or flight? "ow death is painful"? something?

[atomic obsidian]

the fact that the entire ecosystem is hanging on by a thread and dying maybe?

[eternal cedar]

"yeah just die and then have a copy of you run around instead" you still die, thats a different person now

edit: the reason the ai tells you to just clone is probably because it doesnt understand having a soul so it doesnt know the difference

I’m referring to ||the Jubilee group and people like Zip/Anita I think, who did at the roots to feed the tree and whatnot. || The enemy on this planet is obviously the planet itself, that’s what everyone is fighting against. The metal, the virus, Masefield, all of that is the real enemy. The other times the Pioneers die is truly inconsequential.

[runic wagon]

Dude I hate the fact that I can’t kill the stupid Twin Sitarays 💔

[echo pebble]

I agree this is supposed to be a game in which you must survive with limited options. Either you swim with the current or against it. You have to learn about how to balance your wants and needs. This game is scary (in a good way) because you actually have to learn how to live with it and work around threats. It wouldn't be scary if you just killed every thing.

[placid mulch]

some of it is, yes, but with the first 2 games it at least made sure you were more aware of it, with this game there wasn't any notification, you're just suddenly right at boundary when you hit the red walls, and I like staying nice and far away from the edges of the map unless I HAVE to go there. That made the first 2 games much easier to enjoy right off the bat. But this one doesn't even have a pda warning yet

[vapid latch]

what i cant put my rooms one above other?

[buoyant steeple]

TBF, it's not as if death is completely free of consequence in this game; you still lose some of whatever items you gathered on your trip. Potentially even more if you took a sub ended up stranded/destroyed in the process of your death.

[meager minnow]

Yeah and you have the option to say NO. Almost because it too has consequences for you. Have you ever seen SOMA? Because how that deals with clones/copies is exactly how I imagine it. Someone else can live on with my memories sure, but I will work at every turn and with every breath to keep me me.

[wraith pelican]

(hey I know this is offtopic and also kinda spoilery) ||do not go off the edge||

[vague star]

the collector is the most boring and unfun creature in the whole game change my mind.

[marsh elk]

even if you have infinite lives, thats not gonna override your inherent survival instincts i think
kinda hard to make your brain be okay with dying y'know?

[verbal kettle]

So what I did was wait for it to get close to me and like 100 meters down and then use the air bladder and what this does is make it so the leviathan won’t attack you for a good 10 seconds giving you a window to scan them so repeat this until the scan is fully completed since it compiles and you’re good

they understand they will just be reprinted

Have you tried blasting them with the sonic resonator?

[tulip imp]

uhhh
So Im kinda concerned
I played for a few hours and then I read the reviews, and most mentioned the EULA.
The thing that Im worried about above all is the "don't break social norms" clause
I am trans, that could be seen as not following social norms. Am I at risk of losing my game?'

[dawn oak]

all i found there was 3 copper wire and 1 scan for a bioscanner

[leaden void]

Exactly this btw. Your memory is downloaded to a databank, so sure, every reprint is technically "you". But it's also not. When your body/brain dies, you die, and the next reprint takes your place. You no longer exist. And that is honestly more horrifying imo

[wet finch]

Adding killing to the game just to have it make your ending worse if you kill too much is a horrible idea. People are gonna kill too much for convenience or ego anyways, and then have a bad ending shoved into their way and then complain about it. Players will always optimize the fun out of their games if given the chance.

Moreso, if they add killing, then they will also likely add respawning into the game for creatures other than leviathans and such to avoid all the fish being killed in the first place. So even with this making bases in dangerous areas won't work well. Y'all just need to accept that if you want to build a base right under the fins of a marrowbreach or smth then you'll have to deal with it harassing you when you're around.

What players want from adding killing weapons to the game aside from being able to clear fish from an area is to fend off fish that are attacking you. Oh wait, there's already multiple deterrents like that in-game, the sonic resonator, flares, numerous biomodifications to distract/hide from predators, etc.

The game is more well thought out than many of you give it credit for. I simply ask that we try out all it has first before yearning for more.

[fleet jacinth]

is there silver anywhere near the alien ruins? need a moonpool to finish my temp base over here

[trail falcon]

"so anyway I started blasting"

[woeful kelp]

That EULA isn't legally binding under US law

[indigo mango]

Has anyone else had unlimited air after using the rebreather??

[novel breach]

is there any news to a new update or is it gonna be a minute?

[heavy timber]

I mean I can't speak to any legal verbiage but there's multiple queer and trans members of the dev / mod team. I can't imagine it would be a real issue.

[runic wagon]

Start an entire new civilization 💔

[leaden orchid]

You said you spent two hours scouring an area for resources and you’re having a hard time, there is a blueprint in the game provided to you that alleviates your issue. What about what you said did I misinterpret?

[hazy whale]

You can get an electric defense system mod that replaces the dash. It's pretty good, but it's late game.

[summer jay]

Most of the Eula is there to cover krafton if they get into trouble, they don’t have much hope of enforcing any of it either

[pliant aurora]

nor EU law, from what I have heard

[fervent wyvern]

Can they please make it so we can either kill animals or so? They have a less aggro and they will leave us alone because if there was a hammerhead and it finds you tadpole inside your moon pool, it will attack your base and it will never leave.

[echo pebble]

They did its called the sonicemitter

[marsh elk]

yeah and howd that work out for them?
isn't it literally mentioned the biobeds stopped reprinting them at a certain point

[gusty cedar]

I truly want something to atleast knock them out, I think it’s hypocritical the game is literally telling us to off ourselves and yet we can’t kill creatures, yes it may break the immersion but I’d love to not have nibbler mango’s up me all the time

[exotic crypt]

Also, I imagine that part of the EULA is unenforceable anyways

[cloud mason]

||i got the turbine repaired, axum vision, currently looking at the screens in the control room and totally confused|| help pls

[hidden jetty]

Yall I think we need a modification from biolab or something for bigger inventory cause its like 3 sonic resonator outcrops and then its full if you already have tools and batteries in

[hardy marlin]

So I'm still getting that crash at launch guys I saw a patch a little while ago it did nothing

[keen jungle]

is us doing no damage to fish intentional?? ive been reporting it as a bug because it felt really off. lmfao woops.

[young geyser]

oh my god gogmazios from the hit game franchise monster hunter

[dapper shore]

Didn’t work on the ones in the alien wreck area where the cankers close up

[burnt kelp]

you may have missed it, but ||in the observatory, theres an upper area that you can swim to via some tubes. it provides a lot of interesting lore||

[cinder swallow]

Is it possible to softlock yourself??? I've cleared both smaller comb areas near the big one under the ||big alien structure thingy, the power plant??||. But now the bulbs right near it are closed, and I think it's because I took out the little angry things that float around them yonks ago when I first came through the area. Or am I missing a third younger comb somewhere?

[open quail]

I got a bug where the cankers didn’t spawn near the Wanderer black box. Am I soft locked and need to start a new run?

[robust flint]

||so do you just keep finding blackboxes and the game progresses?||

[old bloom]

You have to catch fish, either eat them raw or cook things at the fabricator

[pulsar beacon]

||No the biobeds stopped printing them because they were a hazard to the mission
they did not know that the NoA would do that though||

[wheat bane]

I also said that I used all of my troilite. The method you are recommending requires a troilite. I am searching for the apparently 3-4 nodes that I am unable to find but people claim exist. Read thoroughly before you say rude things to people.

[winter kraken]

||there should be 1/2 bp for a feedback resonator, and if you search the terrain around it (i dont jst mean directly around it but down and around) you should find a bunch of new stuff||

[late thorn]

thats not exactly the same thing as that only makes them go away for a few seconds. im talking an item that stops them in their tracks completely and knocks them out for like 1 or 2 minutes before waking back up.

[swift kraken]

I don’t think the heavy metals destroying your body is very ambiguous. And all the other stuff is still a problem for everyone regardless because ||NoA will just reset you if you have Masefield||. They’re different approaches to the same problem, but they still have to solve it.

[meager minnow]

Have you ever seen SOMA, because thats how I interpret every clone/digital upload? It seems inconsequential because they upload their memories and other people see you as you. But that clone is a clone for a reason. It isn't you.

I personally would fight to stay alive as every version of myself. Once you die, that's it. That YOU is dead. People are merely talking to a copy of you that thinks it is you. Self preservation would still most certainly exist for me.

[cobalt flint]

looking for a consistent group, dm if interested

[odd sparrow]

While I’m largely enjoying it so far, I think I’ve finally put my finger on what is making it feel slightly “off” – and what made BZ feel off as well: When we crashed in SN1, there were a small number of distress calls to respond to, and then the Degasi storyline, but other than that we were alone, and the story was all about us. In BZ and now 2, we’re continuing someone else’s story (the Ayou sisters, the previous colonists). Especially with all the wrecks and debris around, it doesn’t feel like I’m going anywhere new, just where others have already been. I hope this changes in later additions, we’ll be going somewhere no-one’s gone before, and the story will be about us again.

[warped hollow]

im more worried about the apparent ban on things like autoclickers and cheating which is a bit ominous
but that is a valid concern as well

[atomic lark]

where do I look for my base hull strength, just wanna make sure it's alright before I add any windows

[eternal cedar]

unfortunately it seems like its intentional, one of the devs said theyre gonna make better detterents but right now its just annoying and a chore to deal with them

[sinful sonnet]

None of the enemies ever attacked me enough to make me want to lose the ability to fly 100s of meters through the sky

[tulip imp]

I understand, but it seems very poorly worded, and I play numerous EA game and I KNOW how they are

[old bloom]

There is no hull/base integrity anymore

[tawdry merlin]

hello, am new here

[harsh python]

I feel like prioritizing player freedom is important, instead of removing killing completely it should be significantly disincentivized, and have repercussions.

Forcing a player to play the "correct" way can feel annoying imo, and should be promoted instead of enforced.

[azure field]

what is the ||biohacking|| and ||anomaly|| filters for? and do they show ALL in an area or only the unfound/unexplored ones

[hazy whale]

In our society, sure. But considering the insane levels of death and despair due to Kharaa, the horrible work safety of Alterra, and the hostile environment as a whole, it's likely that a lot of pioneers have an EXTREMELY short lifespan. The fact that you got printed in the beginning means you're already dead. At that point, why survive when you can proceed.

[neat grove]

The predators are common and the hammerhead has eternal beef with my sub. I had it docked in my moonpool and it was just beating it

[blazing merlin]

Bro my entire base dissappeared

[cinder swallow]

I'll take the 3RD as there is a Third Comb XD Any general idea in what direction?? IT's not back in the ||Starting area|| is it?

[burnt zephyr]

where to find the second ||sonic resonator upgraded version||

[exotic crypt]

NoA does mention that the second area is the last place his pioneers made it to, so it's likely future areas won't feature pioneer constructions

[old bloom]

They tried that, and people still did it

[gusty cedar]

I truly believe Subnautica 1 was a survival game Subnautica 2 honest to god feels like Mickey 17 i dont feel like im surviving

[echo pebble]

Maybe that could be an upgrade in a later update

[dapper shore]

So what?

[deft drift]

Guys, the game says your game might not have exited properly. Anyone know when AMD or subnautica devs are gonna have a fix for the drivers?

[lost lichen]

Mods are already out for this

[trim sail]

Does anyone know if the blackbox for Chap is bugged? I've tried to interact with it multiple times and it won't let me.

[swift kraken]

I haven’t, but I do think some of that is represented in the SN2 story. Some pioneers obviously care more than others about being reprinted, but from the players perspective I think people just don’t want to be harassed 24/7 tbh, and that’s a problem that can be solved for bases without crippling the rest of the game where you want creatures to be a continual threat that can’t be eradicated

[quick atlas]

I still miss the Peeper

[buoyant steeple]

Indeed. Even if the idea that "Death is Cheap" is narratively enforced, I always find that there's too many risks/problems associated with dying that I wouldn't wantonly throw my life away for the sake of it.

[abstract abyss]

anyone know if there is a way to manually delete auto save data to roll back, my multiplayer lobby has one of my friends stuck at a slideshow but not on a new save

[final gust]

You need the 450m tadpole mod, these items are deep down, around the huge power generation thing

[eternal cedar]

one of the main things i will endlessly praise sub 1 for is the isolation, your chasing ghosts the whole time and sometimes the pda will chime in, now your stuck by 'yourself' investigating aliens that have already been investigated constantly having people yap in your ear the entire time your supposed to be going "woah what the hell is this"

[atomic lark]

Explore the habitat/bases and wrecks

[ocean night]

Hmm, I will think about this. The Degasi bases didn’t really run out until about halfway through the story. I think there are a couple more pre-visited locations we need to go before it’s “where no human has gone before”

I do think the early game is a bit cluttered

[runic wagon]

You have to swim to the tree to find the parts goodluck

is there a mk2 depth module for the tadpole yet?

[odd sparrow]

I did note that, so that’s why I’m hopeful this will be the case.

[dense eagle]

ok but what is wrong with people doing it? why does it bother people who don't want to kill things if other people do want to kill things for no reward except peace of mind? some other person killing leviathans in their game has no impact on how you play your game

[chrome sapphire]

You haven't addressed any of my points...

SN2 has plenty of killing each other in the story. Us being forced to never be able to, even if it makes no physical sense is just wrong.

[ionic pond]

how do you clear bloom in alien area. ive done 2 juvemilles

[swift kraken]

Tbf in the current version we end where nobody has been in 200 years 😛

[swift kraken]

That’s pioneer vs. pioneer is it not?

[echo pebble]

I think it is because the game is in early access and they haven't got to that part yet.

[warped hollow]

goes against the spirit of the game or such
i do think people getting crazy mad about it in #subnautica-chat is a bit silly tho, its a singleplayer game let them play their game how they want to

[ocean night]

In blue sky infinite time and budget world I’d probably try to get Habitat and Camp One turned into larger set pieces further apart, and then spread out or remove a lot of the early story stuff

[harsh python]

I feel like a very vocal minority of people went out of their way to kill leviathans, since the people who did kill them would boast about it. Just a guess, might be wrong though.

[potent island]

Where can I find the depth module?

[gusty cedar]

Yes but narratively in Subnautica 1 that made life precious I hate noa telling me to off myself all the time and I find it extremely hypocritical to have this enforced but not allow weapons

[marsh elk]

i've seen a lot of arguments for and against being able to kill but to be honest i'm still on side kill just because i miss the convenience of the thermoblade

People use it to bypass important mechanics, game feel, gameplay loops, etc (the devs have covered all these points before)

[ancient agate]

||stick a material into it and it will generate said metal, depending on the material is how long the process will last, it will instantly start farming again after you collect the metal||

[drifting lotus]

I need help with a Subnautica 2 save issue on PC (Xbox app/Game Pass). I made a manual save, then about 20-30 minutes later I did “Save & Exit,” and when I loaded back in I was at the newer/latest progress instead of the manual save I made earlier. I tried going into the WGS folder and found what looked like the older save, copied it, and put it back, but the game won’t load it properly. The issue is I also can’t start the game without internet, and when I go online it forces Xbox cloud sync and always loads the newest save anyway. I already made a backup of the older file, but is there any way to force the game to use the older local save, stop cloud sync from overwriting it, or recover the older version from the WGS folder?

[jolly remnant]

[nocturne copper]

dude can someone actually answer my damn question how to get energy storage

[atomic lark]

Like 3, they all spread out nearby, I did that yesterday, took a while

[meager minnow]

I don't disagree that it can be done. It most definitely can. And if they implement proper deterrents I would be satisfied.

But I do disagree that someone crash landing on a planet would never harm a thing (even those attacking them) just because of some integrity. That person has to be a literal saint to have that stance.

I also prefer it when games give me the options and let ME make that choice.

I hate when Devs dictate a singular playstyle. It is just restriction and removing options we once had.

They need to add a whole heck of a lot of more options if its te route they stick to, or the game loses a TON of charm the first one had.

When you go to your save, to the side is a “load” option and should let you pick from, at least, a manual and autosave option

[warped hollow]

i dont see how killing an enemy could do like any of that
the closest i could see is if someone were to kill the ghost in the LR or aurora reapers to make it easier which... seems like a lot of effort to go through for very minimal gain, so doesn't seem like a big problem
mainly when i see leviathans die (which seems to be the problem mainly) its either for qol, for fun, or for a challenge, none of which seem bad

[marsh elk]

knowing you're not in any real danger isn't going to make you not scared

[chrome sapphire]

And if you think about it for more than those 10 seconds, you might realize, that you aren't going to see the next "you" that is going to be reprinted if you die, meaning the life you have is the only one you get, for your consciousness transfering can never ever be proven.

[hazy whale]

Bro who would I be saving? I already died and I'm probably going to die within an hour due to something.

[buoyant steeple]

Aye, in hindsight, giving the 1st game's the respawn system a narrative justification & tying it heavily into the story might have some drawbacks on the atmosphere or how the player approaches puzzles.

It goes from a life-or-death situation where decisions & routes have to be carefully planned & considered to a trial-and-error affair where you'll eventually get the right answer if you throw yourself at it enough times in slightly different ways.

Uhh
okay, I digress into a softer topic
The game feels off to me, for one I understand that subnautica one had respawns, but canon respawns just seem to take the stakes off of the horror that was in the original
Two, I play movement shooters, if I dont get an FOV slider I will have a stroke
Three, everything feels a bit more... generic now
Maybe its because its using universal unreal shaders, or because every sci-fi survival game has followed in subnautica's footsteps, but it feels a lot less like Im playing subnautica, and a lot more like I am playing a subnautica mod for no man's sky

problem with this is, none of the saves i initially wanted to go back to pop up, its just a manual save from like 10 mins ago and a default save, i did a manual; save at 11:43 and nothing pops up for any type of save at that time

You are welcome to search up their comments, I’m not going to rehash their positions for every single person who wants to take issue with it when I’m trying to help people with their games (which is something I volunteer to do, and understandably, more important use of my time, no offense though)

[atomic obsidian]

Where is the ultra high capacity tank blueprint?

[swift kraken]

The game tells you why you don’t have weapons, I don’t know what to tell you.

Weapons aren’t in the game because it cheapens experiences and ruins the tension. There’s a reason Charlie Cleveland made them promise to not even have torpedoes in the game

[wheat bane]

you would be saving the potential that could generate from that specific instance. Each clone varies slightly from the other. We see that in colonists being friends and then not being friends.

[pastel moth]

subnautica 2 is cool

[hazy whale]

I know, but consider the fact that you died and that you're on a highly acidic planet full of dangerous predators that are at gorilla level intelligence or higher. At that point, you sign your waiver for the next you and just try to get stuff done while you're still alive.

The blade on the Survival tool is not suited for chopping

[late thorn]

i feel like the issue is people just want more reactivity to their actions so to speak. they dont like that the creatures dont die or even get knocked out by pure blunt force becaue it doesnt give enough feedback to the player. personally i think smaller fish should be able to die (because you literally kill them when you eat/cook them) and bigger creatures should just have a HP threshold that when depleted stuns them for a while as if they "died" for a while before waking right back up. because i genuinely dont think people want to just kill things for the sake of killing (mostly). they just want more feedback from their actions

[tulip imp]

Theres just something so much more stylized about s1 and bz, and I liked that a lot more than the bigger and better unreal shaders because honestly... using unreal's default shaders 9/10 times makes the game look like an asset flip.

[unique nimbus]

I feel like the compromise to this would be allow yourself to kill medium sized fish like nibblers/small fish, but make leviathan/bigger class fish unkillable.

[muted glacier]

some of the unused databank entries are crazy lmao

[meager minnow]

The game has a hammer. A hammer can be and has been used as a weapon.

Fish that nibble you for 5% of your life at a time and are an annoyance at best ruins the tension, not the ability to kill stuff.

I was fearful the entire time until I got my prawnsuit in 1.

I was fearful for the first few minutes of 2.

[buoyant steeple]

Doesn't help that it's been explicitly stated that your memories can be meddled with by NOA whenever you respawn. At that point, I'd treat that concern as a guarantee.

[exotic crypt]

Yeah, giving better ways to deter creatures that aren't just killing them would be better imo than just straight up implementing killing

Sure player freedom is a thing, but it's really not worth including that freedom if the action is deincentivized to an extreme like Subnautica 1
