subnautica-2-chat

[harsh coral]

is it just me or is the character limit in the feedback form completely useless for providing any actually decent feedback on complex issues

[tulip dagger]

Disabling snapping is really helpful for building

[little ridge]

I wonder how much of the game's content percent wise is already out

[hazy burrow]

Title of vid 👀

[unborn fjord]

I'll see about passing that on

[hollow apex]

See you in 5 minutes lol I’ll be waiting. I don’t really understand why someone who is so against this game, is even in their discord. Obviously you put countless hours into a discord for a game you don’t even like.

You my friend should get away from a screen for a bit, and go touch some grass, maybe you’ll be a bit more respectful and not so hateful

[zealous cipher]

If its in the water its a fish
Even the players are fish
Everything is fish in subnautica
The whole planet is a fish
Fish :3

[timid obsidian]

is it the one thats 1 hour long

[urban bronze]

"I'm done here"

He was not, in fact, done here.

[remote monolith]

venus has a very thick atmosphere, granted it is full of sulphuric acid, but it is still majority nitrogen. I don't think we would see the gas giant if it was that thick.

[rugged egret]

it looks like it did get added eventually. Imo filmic mode was really important because the vanilla game's contrast is much to low, both in sn1 and in sn2. With filmic mode the game looks a lot more realistic and really really gorgeous. It also makes the dark deep sections of the game a lot more threatening. And forces you to use light sources or be drowned in darkness (which I really love)

[bright jackal]

Steve

[idle spruce]

bro

[mellow otter]

he'll never be done till he gets muted or smth lmao

[dark folio]

Here's a suggestion. Stop trying to rage bait people you're just making yourself look stupid because it's not working.

[ocean timber]

Fish are tasty:)

[dark epoch]

We're gunna have to abandon this base I think. The wall is not in the way and we can't deconstruct the pool because the dock cant be deconstructed either

[acoustic ether]

FinalLly buying sn2 now that I have the spare money

[frozen siren]

Do you also stab your grocery store catfish filets until they stop moving?

[sharp crystal]

if we have learned anything from this, its that he does not listen to suggestions. lol

[tough fulcrum]

does it matter where i place the metal farms

[cerulean halo]

You mean "refund base" from the menu, right?

[livid cedar]

has anyone found the ||time of day|| recipe i have 1/2

[gilded fable]

welcome to the world of having to refund bases because you can't physically edit them anymore 🙂

[ocean latch]

I wouldn’t say realistic, water removes like 80% of color once you go deep enough

[charred drift]

Idk if we can talk about mods here but some mad lad made a mod that increased the player count to 16 Ive seen footage of it, the game was not built for that many players

[patent fractal]

i love losing 3 hours of playtime because "Refund Base" deletes all your materials from storage

[sacred lintel]

I’ve encountered this issue 6 or 7 times now

[dry oak]

bloop gloop I'm a fish too then 🫧 🐟

[old falcon]

ive always been able to finess my way into fixing it since its always 1 pixel hitboxes

[true onyx]

Yo??? Already? Damn this community works fast! I will be checking that out 👀

[storm seal]

Speaking of more deterrents ... why does this guy not seem to work as intended, from the database entry, when you hold him out?

[strange swan]

Yeah, looks like there's no black box, and I suspect this save is now broken. Reverting to like five hours ago...

[chilly mural]

Welp it seems everyone hated subnautica 2 because they cant kill fish. Dear god this is ruining my fun of playing the game

[wide stag]

Cut out whatever non-fish killing debate is going on, listen to this

Apparently when you harvest a lucifer rotsack fully (chop it to get the pulp until it dissapears), you can place another on top of it, but the origional is still there, compact water farm??

[leaden void]

||Apparently the crypters and veps are still axum. It seems like they might be different sects though. Think of it like Avatar how we have air/fire/water tribes with different adaptations||Dev confirmed btw

[unborn fjord]

People will argue only for the sake of arguing

[hot brook]

did you NOT see the big bold blue warning that the game is early access and WILL have bugs and be unfinished? This isn't being buggy at launch, launch isn't for another 2-3 years.

[fringe panther]

Why would other people opinion ruin the fun of your Game 💔

[red stone]

what happened to the axum by exe.plained, although his explanation on the morphology of the axum is kinda off other than that its a really good speculation/theory and someone just beat sub 2 within 7 minutes

[unborn fjord]

He's muted, no reply from them for the next 3 hours lol

[stray wren]

NOOOOOO

[buoyant totem]

||Is the part about the veps from the last story log? I got the crypters being likely the technologically advanced axum hibernating but I understood the veps to be similar to tree organs rather than a different species?||

[weak fjord]

yay we have reactions again

[unborn fjord]

yes but if you overdo it you get muted for 5 mins

[halcyon sentinel]

could be nice to actually follow world logic and advanced the tech, with also referencing the Nemo "supercar" submarinr

[gloomy meteor]

how do i move bases with my locker stuff still being there

[short field]

There are heavier gases that aren't cloudy and completely clear off top of my head argon which is completely non-reactive which happened at an atomic weight of 18 instead of compared to nitrogen 7

I still believe gravity being higher is the most logical explanation as I stated previous

I'm just saying there is room for other explanations

[eternal cedar]

burning fish alive ✅ suffocating fish ✅ defending yourself with the axe you already have ❌

[hazy burrow]

Yo qifrey pfp

[unborn fjord]

The multitool will get more feedback when hitting fish, it's planned

[pseudo karma]

Chat when are they adding the Atlas

[dark folio]

I'd get a giant aquarium and get a ||hammer head||. They're actually really cute imo. And very pet-able.

[slow igloo]

in lore, its a barebones version of the seamoth for the narrow aquifers of Zezura

[terse prairie]

Open the game menu and hit "refund bases" 🙂

[unborn fjord]

There will be no rehashing, another big sub is planned though

[sharp crystal]

may i dm you about something?

[frozen siren]

Calm down pal its just words on a screen

[remote monolith]

I still want to slaughter every living thing in sight. Thats why i loved SN1

[jagged oxide]

once again saying auto-mute seems too sensitive i even tried slowing down how quickly i reacted to msg </3
hope theres no auto ban, im just trying to communicate with people :(

[acoustic ether]

Download ing game, 50 of my dollars well spent I hope. Downloading now

[unborn fjord]

Sure

[viscid badger]

I think theyre making some sort of... joke, whatever those are

[runic eagle]

we need the heat survival multitool

[cerulean halo]

There was one base I refunded to find out that a fabricator in a completely different room at the opposite end of the base was blocking deconstruction 💀

[unborn fjord]

50?

[mellow otter]

so uh besides the fish killing thing, is there any actual dislikes about sub 2?

[fast sequoia]

you know there could be an update where the tadpole gets arms who knows since the game is a week old

[tough fulcrum]

when will slowmode be 30 seconds? i have to actually think before i type

[tropic jasper]

Quick cooldown time check

[raven rapids]

Fish

[ocean latch]

if there’s a bunch of metals in the water, Proteus probably has a very metal dense core too. Which would give it the gravity needed even while being a moon.

[celest raft]

Regional pricing.. was $50 in NZD too

[unborn fjord]

I encountered the tadpole teleporting to dock and once being soft locked when sampling the pressure adaptation, bugged so bad I couldn't even open the pause menu

[wheat oak]

I found 3 bacterium in the yellow pools, isn't there supposed to be 5?

[unborn fjord]

Yea I was thinking it was either Australia or New Zealand but there's some other countries that use the dollar too

[tulip dagger]

$30 CAD so I figured it had to be AUD coming in at 50 maybe 20 usd then?

[wide stag]

proof btw

[old falcon]

im surprised theres not more issues with the base building since this is like the most customizable base building i've ever seen dude

[modest helm]

my PC can't run sub 2 on the lowest settings properly, am I cooked?

[hot brook]

I really enjoyed the unofficia mod that allowed putting prawn arms on the seamoth

[charred drift]

I do hope they bring back the base integrity feature, but not for all bases just for deeper bases or hard core mode

[rugged egret]

is it planned to increase the damage predators do to the player? They seem comically low right now but I figured this was just to make sure EA1 players wouldn't get super tilted by the game at first

[fringe panther]

If we forget that it's a EA, the game has very limited to offer, the border can be really annoying to counter some time. The Food and water get down WAY too fast, only one Vehicule yet and a few bug there and there but people seem to like those sweet little bug

[zealous cipher]

I make mine into giant cubes

[red stone]

||trident bare bone body|| does seem to follow a similar concept so i really hope they base it off the atlas design, hands down best looking one imo

[storm seal]

I've found work arounds in all seemingly stuck cases and they either revolved around my angle of approach, or weird corner (or edge) my constructor needed pointed at or directly over, shrinking instead of deleting, or realizing there actually is an obstruction in there somewhere.

[south basin]

How does refund base button work?

[onyx kayak]

you click it

[sacred lintel]

I almost softlocked myself by almost using all the triolite, I was lucky to find two nodes left in the area RIGHT BELOW THE COLLECTOR

[unborn fjord]

Best bet is gfn but it's gonna put you behind €12/mo

[twin plinth]

I havr that happen randomly they just duplicate when I load the save

[potent halo]

I was able to do that with a number of plants, I think it's a general thing you can do with anything

[stray wren]

i personally hope they dont, i find it a chore to have to add on reinforcements to a base, especially when making bases rn is already super expensive

[unborn fjord]

Click it, it doesn't instantly destroy your base and it explains what it does

[ebon anvil]

what do i do now can i make a new one or is this save just bricked

[grand salmon]

What vehicles you guys think they're gonna add? Other than a Cyclops type sub.

[unborn fjord]

Reload a save because that takes skill

[leaden void]

Na you probably cut them then replanted, but they grow back same spot after cutting

[chilly mural]

This is basically the easy mode in souls game defense. Seriously I get over and over again that killing fish should have been included. But the larpers have turned it into a dumb and political argument

[open dew]

Deconstruts entire base and returns all materials. Whatever doesn't fit into your inventory is put into temporary overflow storage.

[frank mantle]

can confirm 😭

[cinder thicket]

is it me or is the resources spawning less and less

[teal locust]

Hope you put some of that troilite into metal farms

[weak fjord]

slowmodes 5 minutes anyway lol
can we have a 3 min slowdown pls

[unborn fjord]

"yea that's me, you might be wondering how I got in this situation"

[frozen siren]

Sounds like you're aching for an argument man lmao

[remote monolith]

its not a killing game, its a slaughtering game.

[runic eagle]

do boosters get no cooldown dude this is unusable 😭 i would genuinely boost just for no cooldown

[mossy yarrow]

Its very intresting that in thier recent announcement, the neither confirm nor deny whether we we will be able to kill fish

[atomic lark]

Watching metal farm make troilite is like watching paint dry, 20mins for it to dish out only a couple and sometimes only 1

[dark folio]

What would that be for though? You can't damage anything with the multi tool. Maybe it could be Sharpened enough to kill and instantly cook small fish like the ||halfmoon||?

[halcyon sentinel]

yeh, probably upgrade module, but I'm not asking for a whole prawn suit, just getting material with tadpole without getting out, would've been an actual successor to seamoth

[manic python]

anyone else having issues where you cant delete base parts while trying to modify your base in the hot zone? we stopped playing until this is fixed

[unborn fjord]

boosters don't get any benefits other than a fancy colour
Mods, devs and playtesters are slowmode immune

[cerulean halo]

I want mesopredators that we can eat 😈 noot fish yum yum

[blazing timber]

Yeah fr tho, everything i thought off I could.. just make it XD this is incredible

[mellow otter]

i agree with these things nice to know its not all just "no kill fish = bad game" and there is stuff to improve on (if sub 2 came out perfect day 1 id be a bit scared)

[short field]

I actually don't like how things don't disappear after scanning them, like come across the same pieces of wreck constantly and don't know if I'm supposed to scan them or not until I take out my scanner

I actually like the mystery rocks of the first game, it got my TCG pack opening mentality going wishing for copper

Re-scanning all the fish again after getting the bio scanner upgrade later in the game makes it feel like you wasted loads of time

[old falcon]

i've spent like the last 3 hours working on my base because i really wanna make something decent looking and actually survival friendly. i've gotten pretty close to what i want with this base

[wide stag]

What about the plants that leave a model behind after you harvest them? Like pent or the things you use to make strong acid

[gloomy meteor]

is there any way to move bases without losing the locker stuff, ion wanna move piece by piece to the alien ruins bro

[keen jungle]

ok seriously someone help me with this. why is angel comb || in bay 3 with its own room and PDA entry? doesn't anyone find this incredibly weird? i thought the angel comb was here for a LONG time and caused the Aliens native to the planet to revert into cavemen via mazefield syndrome. so why does Alterra have an angel comb specimen? ||

[minor geyser]

We are looking for talented individuals to join Alterra. ALTERRA NEEDS YOU TO BUILD THE NEW FUTURE! https://alterracareer.com/

[ocean latch]

Is it possible to get a tadpole stuck inside your base if you run it into a moon pool with enough speed

[hardy pivot]

is subnautica multiplayer on xbox bugging for yall or is it js me (and my friends)

[charred drift]

I get where you’re coming from I don’t particularly mind that it’s gone I just think it’d be an extra challenge but I do want hardcore to have it because it just makes sense in hardcore because everything is harder

[flint trellis]

Ok so turns out it's genuinely a skill issue for those being killed by marrowbreaches xD

Between this and flares it's actually not bad at all

https://youtube.com/shorts/tmFFGnTGt4k?si=jEZxTK-weR7rLk8n

[storm seal]

I was kinda shocked when I realized base platform pieces were already used in game for some NPC bases, but have no blueprint unlock anywhere in EA yet?

[zealous cipher]

U have now beaten the game
The secret win condition was giving the life pod a hat
Congratulations 🎊

[raven rapids]

I added reactions to the pre made reactions and i got muted lol

[stray wren]

chats too fast, make it 10 minutes

[twin plinth]

Trident

[buoyant totem]

Honestly resources so abundant especially once you get to second half of ea you dont really need to move bases. Bring some titanium copper and quartz to get a room started and powered and you can have something going in no time

[ebon anvil]

anyone elses game just instantly get bricked because they have a large base or lots of builds? all this titanium from these 5 farms yet i cant make anything with it or my pc gets fried

[fiery sluice]

What a harsh answer bruh
You are the one who outrage baiting atp

[hardy hatch]

Does anyone have experience with Beacon client and dedicated hosting? I'm currently trying to find out how to start a server with a previous save file. Chats flying super fast, dm if possible thanks 🙂

[sacred lintel]

I will day, in the most respectful way possible that I am very iffy on the “go play sons of the forest” comment in response to killing fish, like I don’t know know how to describe it, it comes off as ignorant? I don’t even think that’s the best way to describe, I’ll say if someone thinks of a better word to describe it

[unborn fjord]

You are the one who pinged a dev twice

[hazy basin]

i should be allowed to craft shrimp fried rice, and the PDA should say something like "it is crazy to think that a shrimp fried this rice"

[rugged egret]

The vision of the game is for the player to be at the mercy of the whims of the environment, rather than the one that shapes the environment.

People fixate excessively on the multitool not doing damage to small fish, and while I agree it's a bit strange it's missing the forest for the trees. The point is that we do not get to choose where the predators are or drive them away. We only get to plan around them as interactive obstacles because this is their world not ours. This is the fundamental vision of the game, if we could kill predators we would be granted a level of agency that violates the central vision.

This is not a matter of whether or not the devs are being hypocritical or incoherent, it's a matter of whether you respect this vision or think it's stupid. And if you think it is stupid then you are not their target audiance, but as all games are curated experiences, the devs have no obligation to bend over and change their central vision for anyone

[spare ore]

Nah 10 min too fast make it 1 day

[weak fjord]

if we forget its an unfinished game, the game is really unfinished

[fringe panther]

Other then just not kill, I think not being able to defend its at all is Way too much punitive, especially in earlier game with all the shark around you, we need to fight back and the fish could either be wound and there for be less of the race in a area or then we beat them and they get scare of us. Would still be the no kill for Big predator but at least could be equal for player and AI

[rich gale]

1 day too fast make it one week

[remote monolith]

maybe the real rage baiting was calling rage baiting "outrage baiting"

[runic eagle]

may i suggest that we make cooldown for boosters immune too theres only like 200 boosters compated to the amount of people actually chatting its not much
if not i understand but that would be super awesome benefit to boosting too

[tulip dagger]

1 week too fast, make it one lifetime

[quasi berry]

It's everywhere tbh. Everytime i build a base and go to modify, says i can't deconstruct. I've had to refund 5 bases so far and start all over again. Spent majority of playtime just trying to rebuild bases. Im considering stopping all together until the bug is fixed too

[leaden void]

The amount of emotionally charged individuals who join this server is quite incredible

[eternal cedar]

i hope we can get longer dive elevators, i have to take like 4 almost 5 dive elevators just ot reach the bottom of my base

[proven axle]

is my game bugged? why is this not open in the ||second angel comb?|| or is there another one of these around

[unborn fjord]

Assuming each person boosted twice that'd still be 124 people with slowmode immunity, it'd just make the free work moderators do even harder

[slow igloo]

I think the colonists put it there so new prints could get useful modifications before heading out?

[fiery canyon]

not bugged you just need to find the ones that are open

[mellow otter]

i could see repllent type things, like how one of the fishes || if u shine a flashlight in its eyes itll leave u alone for a while/turn away from you|| also this slowmode makes having decent conversations very difficult to keep track of :(

[cerulean halo]

marrowbreach attacks don't even hurt you that much

[spare bone]

watch a youtube guide if you stuck

[ocean latch]

The big one removes half of your health

[flint trellis]

True but I hope they change that

[little jay]

Meds are also easy to craft

[charred drift]

Everyone gets one post so they better make it count

[unique nimbus]

Progress of my base until they add more furniture/decorations. (Endgame area spoiler)

[unborn fjord]

The ||alien ruins angel comb|| has 4 ||bloom nodes|| iirc

[wide stag]

Ending of the EA spoilers ||hey I know the room with the cutscene has an oxygen bubbler or whatever, but im not supposed to have that effect AFTER I leave the observatory right? My character is incapable of loosing oxygen no matter where I go, even after Relogs and dying 😭 😭 😭 ||

[ebon anvil]

you need to find the other child angel combs nearby and use the feedback resonator to destroy them from a distance. if you dont have it, wach a video on where you can find the recipe.

[minor geyser]

@ebon anvil Ideas for Subnautica 2. Where can you post them? Post them on our Nolt ( https://subnautica2.nolt.io/ ). See #1497212756674478220 and ⁠#announcements for more information.

[viscid badger]

Anyone else having large stuff in the distance have these green flashes across their surface? Don't know if it's some setting I need to change

[short field]

The more scary and early game just because it animation makes it a little more sketchy to get o2

I honestly think increasing the animation time in for attacks is a great way to make the attacks more deadly

[stray wren]

side note i hate that the turbines dont face the way the current is flowing, it looks so goofy

[unborn fjord]

Shader bug, assuming you're on amd?

[frank mantle]

do the devs still talk in here?

[smoky hatch]

When people aren't just yelling at each other yes 😄

[unborn fjord]

Try and mess with texture quality and see if that fixes it

Hi sam

You gais like mai base? 🙂

[keen jungle]

Devs i gotta know. this is really bugging me. WHY is there an angel comb on the Cicada? its the only thing that doesnt make sense to me.

[clever zinc]

How many seconds per frame?

[rugged egret]

the starting area is not the cicada

[pliant aurora]

there are arguably worse lines lol

[smoky hatch]

I think the story is pretty clear that they took it and put it there for sampling (Seth will come in and tell me I'm wrong and I'll look like an idiot)

[obsidian coral]

Hey guys where do you unlock the planters at?

[sharp crystal]

[runic eagle]

LOL this ones actually bad

I seen a screenshot of a submarine for sub 2 is it real

[rich gale]

One lifetime too fast make it one galaxy lifetime

[eternal cedar]

what do you guys think of my base (the base marker is where it starts)

[tulip dagger]

And you still can’t damage the fish

[blazing timber]

Holy slop

[onyx kayak]

this really got a good chuckle out of me, keep up the great work!

[slow igloo]

its so nice they no longer take 8 inventory slots of raw material

unrelated to the above: I understand that the cicada had several modules that were intended to be dropped onto the surface of Zezura for facilities while the main ship remained in orbit - most wrecks we find are these dropped modules

[remote monolith]

im still impressed subnautica 2 runs as well as it does on my macbook

[old falcon]

hey guys do you guys have any suggestions for my base? i cant think of anything else to add and im about happy with it

I could've sworn it was less than that, but maybe I got got by the one next door and was confused

[burnt saddle]

Get the metal farms asap

[unborn fjord]

Memes go in #memes-and-media
Unless it's ai garbage, then it goes nowhere in this server

[ocean latch]

There’s a giant Marrowbreach in the volcanic area. Actually animation locks you when he attacks you too

Tbh i just keep lke 8 medkits on me at all times, learnt that after my 18th skill issue death

[keen dagger]

Gng, my water tastes sour

[stray wren]

i love the tadpole. i love the chassis. i think its the best vehicle in all 3 games by far

[short field]

I miss the seamoth

But at least it is better than the seatruck

Can't wait until we get our Cyclops equivalent

[unborn fjord]

I think I only ever used like 4 medkits and that was because I did things by brute force
They're not as needed once you get a vehicle

[vestal garden]

anyone know when the ||trident submarine|| is gonna be added?

[abstract tusk]

34

[charred drift]

One thing that bugs me is no health regen

[valid dust]

Add 6 lane highways and ford f150s

[heavy dragon]

will it be possible to fix lumen reflections not reflecting water surface and not having water fog?

[frozen siren]

Attention chuds stop building bases there i have claimed it first

[heavy mantle]

anyone know why the game crashes on startup, particularly during shaders??

[dense magnet]

deathrun mod ingrained the habit of never leaving home without being stocked on medkits, so I ended up using a lot over my playthrough cause i had em

[fading ibex]

There is tho? Unless I bugged my game I regenerate health very slowly as long as I'm not hungry or thirsty

[unborn fjord]

If you're on AMD downgrade your drivers
If you're on Nvidia make sure your drivers are updated
See #service-updates

Kinda don't get how in this world where reprinting is a thing violence would be that much of a problem

[unborn fjord]

I hate upgrade, update, downgrade

[vocal ether]

Question, i think i read somewhere that the actual state of the game represent 30% of the final game but i can't find the source, do i have dream of it or someone else has this information ?

[round coyote]

Yall what do I do in the tadpole investigation area

[unborn fjord]

Damn stupid terms sometimes

[brisk pier]

I think the visuals of light scattering underwater need to be improved

[unborn fjord]

No easy way to give a concrete percentage because a lot of stuff is subject to change

[cosmic gate]

dont know what happened was but imagine if this was a variant of this creature like radioactive or irradiated one

[junior marsh]

Guys i need help plz

[slender dock]

This is a pokemon

[unborn fjord]

Early access allows the community to also help shape the game

[old falcon]

i only had to use medkits because i didnt have a single o2 tank for about 4 hours and managed to not die once in my playthrough by using like 2 air bladders and constantly diving down. it was lowkey fun having to survive that barebones while acting like i had one life since i didnt want my character to be a clone of a clone

@brisk pier i actually think that subnautica 1 did a really good job of their light scattering, especially in the safe shallows. it was always so beautiful

[true onyx]

Well from violence comes trauma, and after so much trauma the human psyche likes to snap like a twig 🥰

[last orchid]

is there any way to get the seamoth display case currently? or is it gone forever now 😭

[sacred lintel]

||what to do after zip 2?||

[unborn fjord]

Please spoiler tag mid to late game spoilers

||like this||

[viscid badger]

It is fixed I dont think the textures were what changed it. I think it was after restarting the game for Global Illuminations lol

[eternal cedar]

dead by daylight did the exact same thing lmfao, "hey the game feels unfun and unfair to play" "just play something else, we did a pretty good job so far"

I just hope the sub2 dev team doesnt go make the same mistakes because they seem really nice and i have faith because clearly they can make a great damn game

[unborn fjord]

or /spoiler but that covers the entire message

[keen jungle]

Wait so the starting Area is NOT the Cicada? I was under the assumption that we are reprinted from Bay 3, a piece that split off from the Cicada. There is not any reference to literally any other humans on the planet aside from the colonists. i know that || NoA is trying to gaslight us and essentially stick to his programming and get his mission done at whatever cost it takes.. || So how does the Angel comb from the ship relate to the Angel comb native to the planet?

Can || NoA lie about blackbox entries that we find? they all seem pretty definitive that the pioneers wereactive 25-30 years ago. ||

I can buy into the fact that || NoA might have tampered with the PDA despite it saying it was reverted to factory settings. Now that i think about it more, its extremely weird that a factory reset PDA has direct information about the mechanics of the Angel Comb. ||

So please, can anyone here tell me what im getting wrong about this? its either a plot hole or the conspiracy runs way deeper than i thought.

[regal rose]

does anybody know where to find ||houndgars?||

Probs in a while… ||In case you can’t understand that, it’s prob coming at release or the expansion (which I would personally think would be around release over being an early access expansion but could be wrong) since the roadmap says new vehicle at the release or whatever||

[tiny arch]

Is there gonna be an update to atleast control the amount of times your base or vehicle says “welcome captain” lol?

[rain hatch]

true, but the constant screen flash, blood leak, jump scare gets a bit too much and makes it not as effect and more annoying than anything. It definitely need to be geared down.

[vestal garden]

ok ty

[pliant aurora]

...which is like saying trigger warning but not saying WHAT the trigger is (sorry I had to take the opportunity it's such a pet peeve I hate it I hate it I ha-)

[short field]

The three Moon meal give enough health that you never really need med kits even if you're trying to do a deathless run

Damage in the game is rare, and even when you do take damage it's almost no damage at all

[remote monolith]

Why is strontium listed as radioactive? only some isotopes of strontium are.

[ocean latch]

Yall are too ungrateful, they didn’t need to release the game in early access

[shadow kindle]

Krafton... am I right?

[charred drift]

Oh maybe it’s just cause I haven’t fixed my food situation then

[shut jasper]

Fym someone already Speedran it

[unborn fjord]

Yes, you start the game in sleeping bay 3 of the Cicada, but you weren't the first there and probably won't be the last, if you return to the deep start you can actually see tons of titan rockbores, which would imply there was an angel comb somewhere in the area they could have taken the sample from

[leaden void]

I mean it has been 27 years or so since the Cicada crash landed into Proteus. Someone probably took it down to help other colonists who might get reprinted, or the sleepbay sunk after the fact

[spare bone]

may be due to lighting issues cause you are like ||1241m ||deep

[unborn fjord]

A friend has been speedrunning and talking all about it

[cerulean halo]

Yeah that's the one. I thought it was only 40 damage but now I'm not sure.
I actually really like the concept of scavenger fish that attract it to potential prey, but I also wish they weren't even more annoying than nibblers

[acoustic ether]

so we ARE on ||zesura||

[unborn fjord]

No

[frozen siren]

You know what sure

[jovial cargo]

endgame biomods just let you play as fish

[raw wharf]

need one morw?

[burnt maple]

||proteus||

[dense magnet]

yeah the game is not hard enough to warrant that

im talking about the sn1 mod that cranks up the difficulty and adds a nitrogen system, really elevated the experience for me. first aid kits are unbelievably important.

even the floating air pump has a use lol

but the habit means I am constantly crafting more if I don't have one on hand

[spare ore]

[heavy dragon]

maybe we should get more channels for different topics on the game cuz i assume then we can run lighter slowmode cuz 5m slowmode kinda crazy (or 2 generals maybe)

[unborn fjord]

WE are Fish

No spacing between the bars

I've seen this before on several different creatures. It seems to be a graphical glich to me. I've even seen it on the Hyceans above the water.

[carmine stump]

hello!

[true onyx]

More like ||30! About 700 days was spent investigating Proteus and then the pioneers started dying and not being reprinted after that, which occured between 26-28.5 years ago!||

[unborn fjord]

If you're on pc you can select a section of text and apply a spoiler tag that way
On phone you have to do it a bit more raw

[sacred lintel]

In before I model my fish dragon sona in blender and then replace a player model with it, then I truly become fish

[short wagon]

I love how the game turns into a ||superhero simulator with the biomods||

[proven maple]

||What if we get something that shows that the amount of time between the crash and us is a thousand years? We already know its at least 26.4||

[heavy mantle]

heh! had to wait five minutes between my chats.. still here... same .... problems..

[old falcon]

wouldn't be a thousand, all of the wrecks would've dissolved since they're already rusted despite being made of titanium

[slow igloo]

sleep bay 3 was carried on the cicada as a prefabricated building, when you encounter some of the wrecks on the far east of the map the PDA (or was it NoA?) notes that those specific wrecks are nondetatchable parts, and that they are destroyed on the surface indicates the cicade was heavily damaged

its interesting that all the cicada debris is almost untouched while the seabases are so overgrown, huh

[viscid badger]

They already have made a damn great game and everyone is complaining they cant kill all the creatures. That doesn't make it a bad game, that makes you stupid. People are arguing in favor of the devs because it's stupid to act like you have to be able to kill everything just because you can eat a fish. That is not the same as being able to stab every large creature to death and you know it, and if you don't know it the only other option is that you're a moron. The arguments in favor of killing are being made in bad faith just for the sake of whining about a feature that is not needed and won't improve the game.

[weak fjord]

doesnt noa say like 9999999 something hours at some point likeeee

[cobalt bison]

yeah, I forget the directions but it's a bit by the marrow breach by the heat vent things by some coral like tall giant structures that bend and go up, about the width of the corridors you can build for your base, they are reddish, I want to say that is south maybe 350m south of the pod. roughly 😅

[stray wren]

im going to bed now, goodnight everyone i hope none of you will be in my dreams

[pliant aurora]

the one blackbox says rather accurately that it's... uhhh.... however many hours it said it was since the colonist died
it is in the range of some few hundred thousand hours
that will never work out to more than even a century, let alone a thousand years
OR I'm wrong and you will be able to point and laugh at me within about 2-3 years

[mellow otter]

"yo i swear i wont touch ur tadpole or ur base i swearrrr"

[cerulean halo]

if they weren't constantly wrecking my tadpole I would too

[gaunt harbor]

got a couple extra 9s in there, its only 5 aka like 11 years

[warm mason]

I did eventually get it working my major issue is the blue lines can be seen inside structure but that may be patched when the fix the over bright and over dark lighting in rooms because he lighting engine uses the outdoor lig HR ing making it hard to see inside at night and bright as heck during da

[light gale]

and look at this beautiful creature

[spice mantle]

i also found out the cause of the softlock was because i entered a docking station and attached to my haul chassis at the same time. easy to replicate.

[serene lotus]

Love you all, been playing for a bit but want to play with others :3

[vernal hound]

hey all small opinion about combat/ violance in game 😄
if devs so against violance
then pls dont punish us for death
respawn tadpole prawn or whatever we died with
and dont take loot from inv 😄
then we will just brute force game by dying a lot 😄

my pov is if there are enemy whatever if its ghost fish hulk there should be way to outsmart or to defeat 😄

[acoustic ether]

I know I’m overreacting but playing the game in ea right now is bringing me back to when I was younger and the first game was being made and all the stuff I thought about it, especially how in depth I could get about it. Recently I’ve felt like I can’t keep up like I used to be able to with games but playing this is making me really emotional because of how much it actually genuinely means to me and how much it affected my personality when I found the game originally. I know it sound kind of corny but it really really means a lot to me, I feel near tears

[jovial cargo]

honestly I expect mods like that soon enough

[carmine stump]

right 5 minutes is a bit much ffs

[dense magnet]

we should have a "subnautica 2 general" and a "killing fish general" at this point

the issue should be really dead, they took all of like four days to say "ok we get it, give us a minute" so we should see what they do and then give feedback on that

how are we going to get through early access if this is what happens on the first cycle?

[past nimbus]

I really hope they make exiting the docking station with a tadpole easier, I often find myself exiting only to be instantly dragged back like half a second later and then having to exit again

[proven maple]

245,000 or something like that, 26.4 years. But thats only since that version of that colonist died.

[keen jungle]

additional channels would really help this 5 minute timer to be honest. There should be a lore discussion channel

[rugged egret]

ok so is there no main central wreck of the cicada like there was for the aurora? I was wondering if one of the main plotpoints in the future would be finding this wreck to retrieve the location of the phasegate we went thru to get to proteus

[short field]

A lot of us are not advocating for killing predators and only killing the little fish, my main issue right now is when my tadpole is supposed to collide with small fish that should be easily squished it kind of pushes the tadpole out of the way making the whole driving experience feel mushy, I rather them deal damage to my tadpole and leave a dead fish force me to repair and try to avoid the fish instead of getting kind of weirdly pushed out of the way

I 100% agree that killing the predators in the first game like the Reaper leviathans with a survival knife was BS, and I do believe any predator should be immune to damage,

The whole point of Early Access is to give developers feedback, saying that we have to respect every aspect of their vision or we're not the target audience is absolutely absurd completely goes against what Early Access is, like the Aurora wasn't supposed to be originally explorable in subnautica one and was only after people demanded to be able to visit the wreckage was added

[old falcon]

hey guys even though i have complained a few times about not being able to damage or injure the smaller fauna i'm still playing the game and its still just as enjoyable, possibly more enjoyable, than the original subnautica. i mean i'm having a bunch of fun just doing this

(also i really find those dumb hammerheads really beautiful in their own weird way. they actually were the first indicator to me that the AI in this game is 100x more advanced than the original subnautica's)

[burnt finch]

well, after a long period of trial and error, i think im finally going to give up. ive tried every possible solution to this "bug". Crash after crash... ive felt like the walls are closing in on me at this point. preordered and everything but it seems im the only one with this problem... i guess all hope is lost, peace

[digital idol]

so far im gonna build 2 bases, one on the other side of ||where the collecter is near the observatory thing|| and one in the shallows near the lifepod, im definitley gonna move it a bunch though and the 2nd one across the river is gonna be my main one now

[dark folio]

Based. They like to scrap with each other too, which is also cute.

[brisk pier]

Actually colonists could have been around for as long as the biobed goo is around right? They could have been here for 200 years even.

[silent lotus]

Add vehicle collision with creatures including small ones like how it is in the other 2 games

[pliant aurora]

I'm pretty sure the colonists made it more or less clear they are not surviving many years?
But I'm excited to see accurate-r numbers anyway

[sacred lintel]

Oh yeah I remembered, I have one complaint, I feel like the haul attachment is too slow, like I get it’s supposed to be be slow, but it’s too slow so it feels like a absolute slog to use

[cobalt bison]

wait wait 500 m east south east of initial home base. it's close to a habitat but they do hang out by the marrow breach by the heat vents I just got confused a bit.

[cerulean halo]

this is what I did. I think it's intended. I built the second by the ||"rosetta stone", overlooking the needler nest||

[unborn fjord]

Camp one was built over many resets

[charred drift]

Joined today by the way

[astral shore]

Hmm

[dusty oxide]

If you try to trap the collector in a cage, your frames will drop to 5 and lower. I don't recommend doing it. My pc hates me now

[light gale]

We need items dropping on death instead of them deleting, like it was in other two games

[potent halo]

I mean in context, the specific kind of ask that was referred to with the ill fated "go play sons of the forest" was more killing the predators and leviathans, and a number of devs have said that being able to kill small fish is pretty on the table (even before the controversy and even a little before launch), another earlier today said it's fairly likely so idk, I feel like "word of god" should have settled this by now, if people are saying respect the developer vision then folks should point to the devs that are explicitly saying that killing small fish is not outside the possibility of that vision.

[remote echo]

how do you suggest things or can you not?

[unborn fjord]

Don't be rude

[true onyx]

Oh yeah I have to say, I LOVE the effort and care put into the ||alien languages|| in this game!! The ||language of the Axum is beautiful! And I am SO interested to know who Soteria is or... Perhaps was. I'm about to get hopelessly attached to another alien lol.

And I love how I need to work for the translations and that the PDA isn't able to just Tell me what it means! I need to think about it!! And that makes so much sense, because Architect Linear is designed to be as direct and understandabke as possible, so of course in Sn1 Ryley's PDA was able to accurately translate it. But the Axum language is based on concepts so there's a lot more guesswork involved!

Mwah! I love you Devs! I get to be an archeologist!!! -giggling and kicking feet- it's like Outer Wilds all over again!!||

[livid grove]

Just got to the ||Alien generator|| and i finally see why they put the haul chassis in the game 🤣 😭 😭 ||SERIOUSLY WHY IS IT SO MUCH THIS WILL TAK HOURS TO COLLECT AND CRAFT||

[gilded fern]

I was curious if they have hot fixed the soft lock pertaining to one particular late game resource

[unborn fjord]

You can suggest on the nolt https://subnautica2.nolt.io
Please do some due diligence though and check if it hasn't been posted already

[last orchid]

does anyone know?

[dense magnet]

how much of the Cicada was salvaged by the original colonists, do you guys think?

also that thing at the beginning of the game with a wire being cut 20,000 hours ago is way closer and really bizarre. was that the ||jubilee?|| Or the ||tailings??||

[unborn fjord]

The seamoth will return, maybe as a twitch drop or maybe as something else

[proven maple]

There is a log or three which state that they have lived for 700+ days. Doesnt mention how many reprints that is though. And nothing can prevent NoA simply restarting thousands of times, which is mentioned a few times as a possibility

Since you cnt kill them I would say no. lol

[split current]

Cope

[gaunt igloo]

you know what, just let me parry hammerheads and my life is yours unknown worlds, doesnt need to damage them or anything, just get em offa me

[green marsh]

I hope they add an animation for when we reprint

[cerulean halo]

5 I think? but I only found 4

[storm seal]

Any type of platform specific drops are really annoying imo... I hope they just do some sort of community challenge for a universal unlock

[sacred lintel]

You know, new idea, instead of wanting to kill everything we just trap them all in base parts like the 1st game

[severe fern]

can someone please help? how do i go into the hot area to do my mission?

[heavy dragon]

well its a different engine, also what r ur specs and do u hav updated drivers

[cobalt bison]

megaquarium

[eternal cedar]

damn even with spotlights this is still awful, i love the hole so much

[polar ibex]

I hope Subnautica 2 will get an optimisation update... I have some lag spikes suddenly when I am in my base (using Arch Linux - Steam) From ~60 FPS -> down to 5 FPS... And I really don't have a bad PC.... RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB DDR4, Ryzen 5 5600X

[manic python]

Items do drop on death into a storage that pings until you find it and empty it

[rugged egret]

so to be clear I broadly agree with everything you are saying. I was primarily arguing against the idea that the player should be able to kill predators and wrest control over their environment. I do think not being able to kill small fish is strange when we can still grab and cook them.

With that in mind I wasn't saying that the audiance needs to sit down and suck up to every aspect of the vision of the devs, I was saying the devs have the right to broadly defend their vision, naturally for cases like killing small fish we should have the right to argue for and tweak some things.

What I was saying is that when players demand a game experience that is completely orthogonal to what the devs are trying to create that's when they are not the target audiance

[unborn fjord]

Something like that did seem to exist in the devblogs so I'm assuming it might return

[digital idol]

find him

[bronze zenith]

Anyone know when its gonna go on sale?

[spice mantle]

also with the kill thing i think the game should just discourage killing and make you feel bad or regret if rather than just stopping you entirely, imagine if killing a nibbler mango attracts more predators or something. and it's extremely tedious to do anyway. making everything immortal feels too videogamey of a method to prevent killing.

the main problem in the first game was the stasis rifle and gas pods, just don't add biological warfare and guns.

[true onyx]

Sophie does say early on that due to the carcinogenic nature of the water and Masefield syndrome that causes delirium that's similar to like nitrogen narcosis, that no one is able to last longer than about 3 months.

There's a log from Chap that's actually heartbreaking that's kinda about this 😞

[lapis scroll]

Meow

[loud dagger]

Guys what happens if I go into the water in Subnautica 2

[fiery canyon]

So I have a few things

1. I know it's in EA and all, but I would have thought it would be bigger than it is. The reason I think this is because you’ve made games before and are using a lot of the same core mechanics from the last two. IMO you guys are slow-rolling the rollout for whatever reason, and at this point I don’t see the justification for it. (4 years in development btw.)

2. I get the point of not having weapons in the game, but when you add large squids and stuff, it would be nice to have a way to kill or remove them from the area altogether. IMO we don’t need to kill them, but it would be nice if I didn’t have a 100-ft squid living right outside my base.

3.The game’s dialogue is sub-par for the most part. You really need to look at that.

4.This is a good one 🙂 The game as it stands is awesome. I’m loving the gameplay, how it looks, and how it feels.

5.Docking bays need sorting out big time. I spent like 5 minutes trying to undock because I was holding the S key to reverse. This should be an easy fix. (You can’t dock for like 15 seconds after undocking.)

All in all, you guys have a good game on your hands. But for the third game in the series, it should be better at this point IMO, and it shouldn’t be taking over 5-6 years for a full release.

[carmine stump]

not for a while probably 😹

[small pier]

i totally agree with this one when small fish keep damaging our tadpole when we hit it by accident that was one of the best detail in the first game now cuz it forced us to repair it or it got strike one tap by reaper now i`m less scaring than the first game

[light gale]

reinstalling windows is a last resort solution, do you use a amd 9000 series GPU?

[dense magnet]

it really does feel insanely slow but its top speed is actually identical to the base tadpole. its acceleration is just slower. so, map out your routes, i guess, and don't let go of W? probably a little harder to get past ||the collector|| with it than even the base chassis, though

[severe bough]

add nuclear bombs

[dusty oxide]

The only problem is that the collector creates crazy amount of framedrops when a player is near even if its just your friend while you are on the otherside of the map. Collector got itself stuck under the map and we both almost crashed 🙃

[ashen magnet]

Does anyone know if the RTX 3060 laptop version supports DLSS framegen? Got the latest driver update that enables it and didn't see anywhere explicitly mentioning it's for 40 series+ but I don't have the option in-game

[charred drift]

Guys would not recommend building a thermal plant and power line from the ||graveyard|| to the ||abandoned base|| I got merked by the marrowbreaches so many times

[livid grove]

Probably not until early access is over and then some. Winter sale 2029 if i had to guess

[unborn fjord]

The framegen option seems to not reliably show

[uneven nebula]

yo wsg lads

[heavy mantle]

All my life ive spent my time scuba diving(my favorite hobby). Imagine my face when I realize the game crashes off launch, TEARS... maybe one day ill be allowed in to the white pearly gates of subnautica 2. Veteran diver of 40 years for what.

[unborn fjord]

Sales will happen, and I don't think they're only gonna be well after early access

[strange swan]

And follow up question: How badly am I shut down if I have less than that? After death, I have three. Black box never dropped.

[acoustic ether]

I’m so glad we can’t just kill the small animals out of will, it adds to the experience. It really is just like playing the first game again and figuring out everything again. I love you all and all the devs, it makes me feel like I’m playing the first game again from many years ago

[topaz quartz]

Why won't my power transmitters connect

[short field]

it honestly made you a lot more careful when cruising around at high speed

But then again the tadpole feels a slower the seamoth

[unborn fjord]

If you're on RX 9000 series see #service-updates on how to downgrade your driver
If you're on Nvidia check if your driver is on the latest version
If your gpu doesn't support dx12 get a new one

[storm seal]

framegen support is for Nvidia 40 and above architecture I think

[unborn fjord]

Make sure there is a power transmitter placed on the base

[latent hemlock]

i tried base removal and it says it will refund all base materials and stored items inside but i only got the matierals and the items are gone (is that intended?)

[last orchid]

thank god 😓 thought id missed out on being able to get a decoration for my base. hoping to get more furniture/decorations soon 🙏 my base looks a bit barren atm

[unborn fjord]

It's not like sn1 where they automatically link to any structure, there has to be a definitive endpoint

[regal rose]

does anyone know how to use more passive bio mods?

[tardy junco]

Is my game broken or is it not using more than 8-9GB of VRAM at ultra textures?
The specs listed 16GB of VRAM so I was expecting to see well over 12GB used.

[cerulean halo]

wait for 1.1 (or use mods)

[final acorn]

Im pretty sure there are plans for speed modifications in the future like the seamoth has in the original one.

[spice mantle]

there's no visible beam between them for some reason, make sure the last one is directly attached to the base tho.

[unborn fjord]

The specs sheet is without any upscaling
If you're using upscaling that might be why you're seeing lower usage

[eternal cedar]

ive done it, ive built to the very bottom i can posible build, i hate it down here its awful the sound is awful and i regret

[sacred lintel]

The fabricator is the truly the ultimate weapon against the collector leviathan, we just need to make a giant one and lure it into it

ah yes just buy a new one 😄 just as bad as saying go play a another game 😄

bad take this is why people dont like gameing/discord Mods

[old rampart]

when are the achevements dropping?

[reef burrow]

no theres a deeper area u can build at

[light gale]

[unborn fjord]

There's nothing we can do about the lack of dx12 on someone's gpu
It's a hard requirement, if you wanna use dxvk (if it'll even work) you can try

[lost hare]

the music that plays around the collector is wild unimmersive tbh

[charred drift]

I play with a 1650 super graphics card and I feel like every second I play the game my computer is on the verge of spontaneously combusting but it works fine I have 37 hours in the game and it hasn’t given up (yet)

[wary crest]

I agree with this. Even Red Alert was immersive, and that's just techno.

[fresh lava]

official concept art for Subnautica but it was only implemented by a mod

[storm seal]

I think if you open a portable storage container near a Collector Leviathan it should swoop/scoop up the collector inside it Fantastic Beasts style.

[topaz quartz]

Why's that happening do you know or is it just a bug that needs to be fixed

[unborn fjord]

Some of it I think is intended
During the lifepod launch sequence, they give a subtle scare because one of the titan rockbores kind of looks like the head of the collector or some other big squid like creature

[granite schooner]

why tf does the collector have like heat seeking eyesight of even the slightest movement from a thousand yards away? so annoying trying to sneak by him

In the depths of 4546B where it belongs

[unborn fjord]

Thought dxvk worked on dx12 damn

Oh yea it's from 8 to 11

[spiral grail]

Thats some crazy work right there since NO this is NOT the Sub we will be getting guaranteed, because this simply was a Subnautica 1 MOD Project, funny how people will throw random facts at a wall hoping something will stick

[sacred lintel]

I will say, they should reduce the range of the leviathans music when it doesn’t know of your presence, like I feel like I shouldn’t be hearing the music at the tadpole pens

[light gale]

dll replacement should work, vkd3d dll exists for windows

[wraith parrot]

[charred drift]

Can I just say how creepy it is that ||the shiver leviathan is able to jump out of the water to catch you. That’s some serious reaper ptsd there ||

[leaden void]

||It's the same exact design as the Atlas just, a bit smaller, called the trident, and despite being er... square atm cause they're still working on it, basically is confirmed|| 😂 Dataminers go brrr, actually so stoked to see it, also feel free to delete this message after reading as it contains spoilers/unreleased content

[iron harbor]

speaking of merking the fish can u do it with the multitool? Im just starting off lol

[regal rose]

when a second bioped slot is added oxygen control with camoflauge and chum cloud would be really fun

[fading tangle]

Multitool is not helpful. Wait for a sound device.

[keen jungle]

i kinda hope they add more unique leviathans. not just reskinned reapers. I mean lets behonest, the majority of leviathans at this point have been basically the same "big scary creature patrolling an area" the only few that are truly different were the Sea Dragons with its ranged attacks and the Ice Worm being well a land creature. I want to avoid a leviathan that only crawls on the sea floor, but you have to essentially sneak around it playing "red light green light" in some deep under water tunnels. I want a flying leviathan that patrols the air and shallow water making the deep part of the map the safer option. I want a leviathan that is friendly IF you feed it. I am really excited to see what the future brings.

[unborn fjord]

I don't think the devs are interested in coding in ecosystem simulation

[stark palm]

it turned into a bullet fish which is arguably more annoying

[potent halo]

Well that is greybox so the actual hull profile could change a lot, within the confines of the internal space of course.

[unborn fjord]

That sub is a leftover from an experiment
It's entirely a box out with some text to speech
The name, the shape, the model, none of it is final and subject to change

[old falcon]

bro what do you mean by reaper reskins... theres literally only two leviathans currently if you exclude the clam

[hushed basalt]

Thank you 🙏 It's hard to tell what's real and what's not with all these "leaks" 😂

[short tusk]

I can’t get my ||metal farm to connect either||

[storm seal]

Just a simple Google search. Says it's not ruled out for 30 or 20 series in the future but currently is only officially supported on 40 and 50... unless you use mods (which I'd make sure I knew what I was doing before trying that though)

[livid grove]

There is literally one(depending on your defintion) agressive leviathan currently and it's by far the most unique mob in the game since the mesmer

[short field]

I know, I was providing the exact quotes from the transcripts of the video if anyone was more curious because had screenshots of that

thoughts on lowering slow mode to 1 min or making a seperate channel for help cause its hard to talk or get help from others when you can only send one msg every 5 mins

[willow tiger]

what the heck is underneath the cicada wreck

[cerulean halo]

I thought there was some technical reason vkd3d wouldn't work on actual windows, but it's been a long time and it wouldn't surprise me if it does work now.
In any case, a GPU that does not reach minimum d3d12 feature level almost certainly will not have the vulkan feature support required for vkd3d

[heavy dragon]

ye more channels would be nice

[fleet vine]

Hi, good evening. Could someone tell me if the developers have said when it will arrive on PlayStation?

[mossy yarrow]

Can we pls lower the slowmode. And also no they havent planned that yet

[acoustic ether]

I feel remorse after eating the waterslug

[unborn fjord]

and more channel jumping for the mods
Which we all know discord handles wonderfully
Full 2 seconds to load a chat if discord is having a bad time or low memory

Fair enough, just felt like an interesting take on the idea. 🤷

[uneven nebula]

the only complaint i have is that my teamate is dumber than a rock

[leaden void]

They better not change it, the concept is very cool and I'd be sad if it wasn't that design

[elfin horizon]

Acting like the collector leviathan aint creative

[sacred lintel]

Man I want there to be more scrap metal around, like these wrecks look like they would have left quite a bit lying around, like you ain’t convincing me that a large fragment of ship making impact with a water planet wouldn’t drop more than 3 scrap metal in the area surrounding the fragment

[orchid hound]

Just finished the story. Wow, can't wait for more.

[unborn fjord]

It was a box out made by the level designer Artyom iirc

[orchid oxide]

Guys is Subnautica 3 out yet? Me bored

[brisk pier]

Why do you seem to have above average knowledge about the game? Who are you? Are you a dev?

[cloud saffron]

lowkey just a thread channel for questions and a ticketing system

[unborn fjord]

worse
and discord has a thread limit

[keen jungle]

Sorry i was kinda looping EVERY hostile leviathan into this. i think the Clam is an excellent example of a leviathan thats unique and a threat. I mean aside from visual and sound design, what truely makes a Ghost Leviathan and Reaper Leviathan different? The Shadow and Chalicerates were basically the same as well. Just a big scary monster that patrols a specific zone. The || Collector fits the same criteria ||. What im hoping for is just some new leviathans with totally different behaviors that are both fair and fun. the Clam once again is such a good leviathan. Its unique in how it hunts, its different, its fun.

Im hoping in the future maybe the || Collector || would have sort of a cat and mouse aspect to it where you could activley hide from it in a graveyard of its former prey. imagine having to hide in a giant clams corpse to wait for the thing to pass before swimming to the next obstacle?

@elfin horizon I mean.... yeah its a big scary monster that simply bites you. doesnt do anything unique gameplay wise. it looks and sounds fantastic. but other than that, its literally just a patrolling killbox.

[unborn fjord]

Threads in most cases load even slower

[final sedge]

<---- i like slug

[spiral grail]

thats the funny part, that person doesnt have above average knowledge, they are simply throwing wrong infos out which are entirely sucked out of their fingers hoping to gain some engagemenet

[spice mantle]

haven't made one yet since i'm still softlocked so i wouldn't know

[drowsy moon]

hello! i feel like im going crazy but i cannot find any posts about this online so im not sure what the issue is. ever since i got on today for some reason i cannot hear the voice acting of the pdas/blackboxes. i can hear the like oxygen warning ui voice lady and i can hear NOA but i cannot hear any of the pda voices i can see the subtitles on the screen so i know its playing i just cannot hear it and have no idea whats causing it. if anyone could help that would be awesome

[tardy junco]

Just verified. 1440p ultra no DLSS and around 8GB of total VRAM use. The game alone is using about 6.3GB

[livid grove]

I don't understand the complaints about not being able to defend against hostile enemys in the current state, there are 4(?) ways to actively repel mobs and a half dozen others to passivly avoid them. It's crazy the amount of variety there is in playstyle options

[unborn fjord]

I mean the game is also only 15GB
Specs include a bit of future proofing and assumptions
They're based on the specs of a person hosting a multiplayer save

[old falcon]

give me a second i accidentally sent enter first

the original subnautica leviathans are amazing since i feel like they're all unique in their behavior,

anyways in the original subnautica we have 3 hostile leviathans

ghost leviathan, reaper, and the sea dragon.

the reaper has it's mandibles which it uses to grab vehicles and are much more hostile than their counterparts

the ghost leviathans (juvenile) are more meant to be passive threats which you need to sneak around instead of directly confront like a reaper

the sea dragons are an inbetween between reapers and ghosts as they're passive and active threats with their fireballs and chasing patterns.

now bz? i honestly have no clue since i've played that game not nearly as much as subnautica 1 and the leviathans there were honestly very lucklaster to me

[last orchid]

this happened to me as well for awhile and then the next time i booted the game it worked fine again

[summer berry]

Subnautica 2 was overhyped

[tall mirage]

i think i just gotta get a new GPU at this rate, the 3060 has been amazing for me but i need faster clock speeds. i'm having a really hard time breaking past 60 on just high settings, and shadows have the highest impact. i know optimizations are on the way but i gotta worry about clock speeds too.

[short field]

Did you play the first one

If not why were you excited for the second one?

[unborn fjord]

I'm on a 2019 amd gpu 😔

[buoyant mantle]

Another question for y'all...
Is there any particular reason why the ||Bloom Saps|| produce a Water Slug when broken? Is this a placeholder item or is there lore here?

[rustic pine]

Anyone else with a Nividia gpu experience some lag when looking around left or right up or down fast with frame gen on?

[ashen magnet]

Yeahhh I'm seeing some of that now, thank you for the reply. I'm investigating trying to use DLSS enabler at the moment xD

[heavy dragon]

r u using dlss

[keen dagger]

I ate Terrence, MB guys

[wraith parrot]

I’m personally assuming placeholder, but it’s still useful

[fleet pasture]

Base are Indestructible?

[acoustic ether]

One of the soundtracks sounds like heavily edited happy birthday but the person performing happy birthday is being waterboarded and are drowning at the same time. Not sure how to explain

[dawn vault]

Finished the current EA content after 20 hours. There are SO many cool atmospheric places already and the little visual clues where to find interesting things are very well placed, good job from the design guys. Now i have really high hopes for the upcoming updates. The game already feels like hours and hours of optimization (90-120 fps at epic settings 1440p on a old 12600k with 32gb ram an 4080 super). The Atmosphere is fantastic. The Story feels interesting enough to pull me into the world. NoA is a not very trustworthy fella, i am sure now. Inthink, ill play it all again in... a few hours 🥹

[sacred lintel]

Oh so the collector, I love it, I just wish it had more tentacles, like maybe 6 instead, it feels a bit derpy to me seeing only 4 on it

[gray pond]

Is there a 1 in 1000 chance every second for foxy jumpscare mod for this game yet

[orchid oxide]

What if the entire game is just a placeholder for Subnautica 3?

[bitter timber]

Considering some resources aren't infinite.

We really should have the option to mark containers as "don't take from here" for our fabricators.

[latent hemlock]

i dont get it 2 seconds is mildly tedious but the slow mode is so egregiously long its kind of impossible to get help or talk properly here. many people would be helped much more efficiently if other users could help them and not just mods, and there is likely not much manual moderation necessary in a server like this anyway, especially considering the limited volume the chat is currently only even needs a single active moderator at most. especially when i see multiple messages from people at once and i know how to help all of them but its basically impossible to do that in any reasonable amount of time. just an important thought to consider

[chrome shale]

If bases in the future require reinforcements to prevent floodings will all of my bases just immediately flood when it comes out. Unless this is not going to be added into subnautica 2

[cloud saffron]

oh didnt know there was a thread limit, i still recommend a ticketing system, it will help if the community can also make reports

[cerulean halo]

I wouldn't worry about it if you're sitting a little under 60. I get about 40~50fps under on my RX 7800 XT at 1440p High which is a bit behind the target according to the system requirements and I imagine performance optimization still is far from complete

[finite urchin]

Just finished subnautica 2 and holy peak am I curious about how it'll continue

[leaden void]

Should get rid of slowmode for 10 seconds and show just how many people would flood the chat 😅

[sly raptor]

is there somewhere i can reccomend thigns for the game?

[faint jay]

Someone hasn’t gotten ||metal farms|| yet…

[unborn fjord]

2 seconds was just the load time
Doesn't include time to read, scroll back and keeping track in between actions
I'm on phone it's not fun to moderate a chat this large

[unborn fjord]

https://subnautica2.nolt.io I recommend being a bit thorough and checking if it's already been suggested, makes the devs job easier

[livid grove]

This game will never stop horrifying me.

[brisk pier]

Who is KrazyCiwi? Ciwi has the power to change slow mode? Ciwi is part of dev team?

[unborn fjord]

If you encounter a scanner tell the mods, don't make a shouty message (header) to tell a chat

[tall mirage]

i'm gonna grab the 9060 XT cause any upgrade path on the Nvidia is just too expensive for me right now and i still want ray tracing. i need 12 gigs of VRAM minimum and i either spend $600 on a 4070 or a 4060 Ti for not much improvement, or the 9060 XT for up to triple the clock speeds from a 3060, and i only have about a 5% loss cause i'm still on PCIe 3.0. i get lower frames because i'm using an ultrawide at 1080p, DLSS on balanced.

such a shame i gotta upgrade too, but i'm getting bottlenecked by clock speeds. 3060 served me incredibly well.

[unborn fjord]

No ai generated content
If it's not ai generated, memes go in #memes-and-media

[storm seal]

I'm on an old 2070 Super with medium settings and DLSS quality set... I've only had two brief stutters in 2 days of long playthroughs. Otherwise it has run very well and no crashes. And it surprising looks almost as good as some of the much newer series screenshots on my 1080p TV.

[full blaze]

how do i recharge batteries?

[unborn fjord]

I like AMD because I do not want to be scammed by the ai bubble company

[granite gale]

did anyone else have half their bacteria vanish when mining it

[old falcon]

my nvidia 3060 has been amazing ever since i got it and runs the game like a dream, i don't know why yours isnt to be honest. i'm on high settings too

[unborn fjord]

No, I don't know where you're pulling this from

[rancid spire]

Ayyyy, got to the end of the story. What a ride. I'm so excited for more.

[wintry abyss]

when is the next update

[heavy dragon]

i went from 1660 super to 9060xt 16gb, i like my new gpu
edit: note that sub2 doesnt have fsr right now

I have, but why should I need to move a floating locker outside of the base. Meant to contain 1 of every ore in the game for said metalfarms.

Just for the fabricator to not take those. Like just let us mark things as don't take.

Hopefully deeper waters, like deepsea or smth :)

Memes go in #memes-and-media

[tall mirage]

i am aware, and they have said it's planned. i can rely on temporal filtering for the time being. it's $450 rn so it's honestly incredibly good. i'll miss DLSS tho, not version 5 but the ones before it.

also @old falcon i mentioned it in the prior message but i use a 1080p ultrawide monitor, so it does cost me a little bit more frames than usual. i originally got it for an MMO but it also makes my games look a lot better cinematically.

[pale cargo]

Current height 1205 meters.
My goal is to build a skyscraper taller than the tree
Not a box either. Each room takes about 30 titanium and 10 glass

[reef burrow]

was this an actual criticism from ign

[unborn fjord]

I read it as the former but one shall wait on a reply from the devs
Although I think a black box actually says tailings

[sacred lintel]

Another thing with the ||collector|| ,I wished it wasn’t always hostile, I wish it had a more curious side showing, like it’s mantles changes to more colors to tell its mood, like oh it’s grumpy right now so it’s purple and doesn’t want to be bothered, it’s green so it seems be in a curious mood and will just observe you, or if it’s red it’s kill on sight

[unborn fjord]

yes, not from German IGN though

[granite gale]

I had the same goal but even in creative mode I couldn't get past 800 meters without burning out 😭

[old falcon]

loving the way we farm in this game, much better than the og game

[heavy dragon]

yes but for a pokemon game not subnautica im p sure

[indigo hearth]

The moment we’re able reach the tree, we’re all about to become lumberjacks

[acoustic ether]

Where does one find copper

[cloud saffron]

the too much water review is from their review on pokemon ORAS they still gave sub2 a 7/10 same as ORAS

[latent hemlock]

yeah, except the chat is unusable from a help standpoint. if the chat has to be slowed down to this crawl where you cant realistically problem solve an issue without being forced to slowly type out messages over the span of an hour then there needs to be some workaround made. i guess id recommend experimenting with a 1 minute slowmode, still eliminates line breaking or spam issues and im assuming the automod here already has plenty of filters that do the job for harmful messages. this is so slow it just feels pointless and im sure its turning a lot of other people away from this discord too

[prisma nimbus]

what’s the point of the collector living in the middle of nowhere if there’s no prey

[strange swan]

We won't be able to do anything to the tree. Can't replicate axes. Or bombs, or anything that would do anything to the tree.

[remote lion]

No idea why tai lung from kung fu panda came to my mind-

[livid grove]

Yeah it turns out removing gambling mechanics from your game makes it more fun Edit; I mean having to find 20 limestone outcrops to get enough gold for your build isn't fun because 2/3rds of the stuff you get from the outcrops are useless, much better to just find and build

why the heck are subnautica 2 system recommendations so high up,how much content more content even is there
are the system requuirements that high because of the engine being unoptimized trash?

[pale cargo]

Going all the way back up and down after getting materials is pain.
Lucky for me I can just stash it all at the bottom and still use it.

Thank god I was able to get 4 ||Axum bacterial cultures|| and only one of mine clipped through the map for metal farms since if the tree is around 2,000 meters I will need about 12k titanium.
Rooms are around 5m tall and each take me an average of 30.

I also love the 5m msg cooldown.

[unborn fjord]

Some of them are future proofed but the sheet makes some assumptions
Such as:

• you're hosting a multiplayer game with 3 other players
• no upscaling at all

[sacred lintel]

I will also commend heavily for the addition of sexual dimorphism for the creatures in this game, I LOVE DIFFERING CREATURE DYNAMICS AND DESIGNS

sexual trimorphism when

[storm seal]

I went through several AMD cards in my earlier years of building PCs... they were a constant pain with driver update issues and overheating. Switched to Nvidia and never looked back... well before the AI race kicked in. Stability, power efficiency, and support have all been superior. I say that with the qualification that I am still on an older 2070 Super that has been near rock solid for years and still keeps up better than I ever could have expected. So I don't have experience with the latest cards, but just throwing my two cents in that Nvidia has been on a better quality forefront for many years imo, regardless of AI.

[old falcon]

no i need to protect the tree.

Can we compromise on treehouse tho?

[cloud saffron]

UE5 is just not very optimised so a lot of the recommended specs in UE5 games r just the minimum specs needed to run the game at like max settings, minimum is what u should be looking at, if ur parts r above that; ur good

[surreal dagger]

I came here just for so I could say this since I recently found out off Instagram that the Subnautica devs has an official discord.

Makes zero sense that killing isn’t included in a game. The reasoning is lacking as well. Yeah it’s your game, do whatever you want, but you make an early access for player feedback and interaction. One of the biggest things I hear most users talk about is the fact that creatures aren’t able to be killed. Colonizing a planet would surely include this, and the depiction should be brought forth if you are wishing to depict the natural changes from such. Sub1 has it and so does below zero.

[short field]

It's a game Early Access

System specs are higher for games that are unoptimized, Early Access games are usually not optimized to their full potential because it's considered a waste of time and resources to optimize something that potentially can change

Thus Early Access games usually are more poorly optimized then when they are at full release, not just about the amount of content

Creative only right now iirc

[latent hemlock]

the limitations are likely not as necessary as you think that is the point. i understand you can use pings to answer multiple questions in one message but its tedious and the basic functionality of the server shouldnt require creativity from the user in order to promote convenience for the moderators. not to mention its still not possible to continue responding in a back and forth conversation with another person which is necessary considering most people have optimization and performance related questions/issues

im wondering at this point how adding new chunks to the game will work. i'm sure nothing will really happen to our current buildings unless they majorly change all of the existing terrain (in all honestly itll probably work similar to the subnautica 1 chunks and how you could remove and add those without breaking anything)

ur ram is 8gb the minimum is 12 and the min gpu is a 1660

[limpid hornet]

8 GB is barely enough to run windows nowadays and the 1050 is a low end card from 10 years ago

Fallout 4 came out in 2015...

[viscid badger]

I walked down to the spot he was at and was actually able to unstick him by blasting the walls with my sound gun

[pale cargo]

Nah, I'm gonna make an entire sky scraper and the ladder placement is weird when the floor is not full so I am just gonna make the height then make the rooms shapes.

I'm lazy in such a way I waste my own time.

I know I could fix it but I'm stubborn or something like that.

Will ping though. Probably not till I get a lot of free time though.

[ripe junco]

"add ak-47 for fish go die" I dont get it why people want to kill the fish, they make the game scary

[sacred lintel]

I have a bad feeling about this bro

[wicked furnace]

does anyone know if you start a new game and save it, will it overwrite the existing old one? completed the story and wanna redo solo mode but with the creative option

[old falcon]

we're advocating for the small fish to be killable and the big fish to be able to be deterred. theres a very small minority that wants the ability to play the game like doom (2016)

[fair lava]

Slightly one of the reason I just joined this discord. I'm so tired of seeing "ball or gun" type gamer trash talking a psychological horror game because they can't act like Christopher conlombus landing on native America

[cobalt bison]

that's what the bioreactor is for

[west python]

What is the red degrees/compass supposed to represent?

[acoustic ether]

I’m back after accidentally being kicked chat

[balmy aurora]

I support directx12 but 12_0 version not 12_1 wich the game is asking for

[strange swan]

Also, I have a slight question about the ||metal farms||.

Why do they have a very, uhh... eggplant shaped bit that slowly grows upwards?

[potent halo]

The water temperature in degrees celcius

[low fern]

What im asking for is a thermal multitool/knife so i dont have to cook my fish

[unborn fjord]

unfortunate but that's just how directx 12 feature levels work

[latent hemlock]

not at max at all, recommended here refers to running medium at 60fps

[short field]

Most people arguing to be able to kill fish aren't asking for that

That ridiculous strawman argument, lot of us aren't even asking to be able to kill predators it just feels weird instead of being able to hit a fish with the tadpole and it deal damage to our tadpole it pushes us out of the way and makes the whole driving experience feel wishy-washy

Instead of having to carefully avoid fish because it might damage your vehicle you can drive out of care in the world

[leaden void]

I just want our old glass observatory back. The new rounded window is cool and all, but it's just not the same 😔 Let us have both, this was super immersive/cool

[rancid ember]

Am I the only one that hopes they bring back some of the more rigid structure types for 2? I think a lot of the sauce and aesthetics are lost with the current square-locked building style. It doesn't seem very 'alterra' as much as it seems boring.
oh nvm looks like this guy above me actually beat me to the punch a little

[granite gale]

peepers nearly blew up my seamoth multiple times in the first game

[cloud saffron]

i even said in the message that he replied to as long as he clears the minimum specs hes good 😭

[random hinge]

The tadpole does feel extremely bouncy when crashing into surfaces, I'm pretty sure it's faster to hit something behind you than accelerate sometimes

[prisma nimbus]

It feels like the tadpole is just slower than the seamoth even with the scout chassis

[patent crater]

i mean subnautica 2 plays in a later timeline meaning that architectual standards might have changed

[flat tiger]

Just buff the shih out of them and make them actually somethin to think about and not just tickles

[summer wigeon]

might just be the FOV

[hard bloom]

so yes it is? also, is it preferred to make multiple "threads" or just make one large one with everything you want to suggest? Thank you

[sacred lintel]

Yeah same, like being able to bonk a marrowbreach over the head and say “no” would be nice, you aren’t damaging the fish to kill it, but to deter it for a bit, or to even make it release you faster

[old falcon]

guys i got this opinion i can no longer tolerate keeping to myself. the reaper plushie is so fugly bro. i love every other plushie, and even bought the ghost leviathan, but they did the reaper so dirty. i feel like they were going for a bit of a derpy look but missed the mark by a bit

[unborn fjord]

Please spoiler mid to late game content

[cobalt bison]

flashlight does that for them. they are sensitive to light right? the marrowbreach, and the ||electrical zap active mod||

[livid grove]

I just completed the main story and ||It seems like we are building up to the choice of either destroying or revitalizing the tree, arnt we?||

[serene lotus]

can anyone dm or let me watch while my game plays, i promise im chill

[acoustic ether]

Where abouts does one find the silver

[unborn fjord]

Follow the cable, it's a deep dive but there's an air pocket in the cave

Well, deep dive for starter tank

[livid heath]

I think they said "no multiple endings", but maybe the game can have different midgame paths that lead to the ending ?

[short field]

This game is very sparing with oxygen plants kind of like below zero

They're basically everywhere

Also you can get oxygen from the inflatable bladder as well

[vital tusk]

Feel like the first opinion would probably be the choice they go with. Atleast that's what the rockbore pda entry makes me think

[unborn fjord]

The oxygen plants are so slow, the air bladder allows you to get around double from them though because the air bubble also refills the air bladder

[random hinge]

I've been thinking that the meter grid feels bigger in this game, or everything the player builds is smaller. This combined with the overly-dense fog in some areas makes me hope it's an EA thing to make the map feel bigger than it is while it's being made, then these should be backed off once it has true scale and doesn't need to be faked

[prisma nimbus]

Which mod keeps silencing my freedom of 67

[cloud saffron]

@prisma nimbus z is a 67 react weapon 😭

[urban patrol]

is this the early access monster who will hunt you down if you go out of bounds?

[indigo hearth]

I assume that’s because they’re surface level, I’m betting the lower we go in future updates, the more scarce they will be

[raw barn]

Grow up

[unborn fjord]

Our mutual friend is only gonna be there until he gets a proper home

[brittle peak]

Why does it take so long for noa to send alerts, that's the way to finish the story right we go where he sends us?

[brisk pier]

Can we have three axis vectoring for Subnautica 2 vehicles? I don't know if that's the right phrase. Seamoth could travel at super max speed diagonally by inputting forward, ascend, and strafe simultaneously. In Tadpole, something weird happens and sometimes I instantaneously lose inertia when changing directions. I think the Tadpole's ascend/descend sorta clashes with the forward/backward/strafe. Also, if I'm moving forward in Tadpole while looking upwards about 40˚, pressing Ascend at the same time does nothing. Which feels weird to me.

[old falcon]

i did it raw with an air bladder and a hope to live in some random cave where i dont actually think there was a air pocket. now that im thinking about it i dont think i shouldve lived that dive

[unborn fjord]

Oh dw the oxygen plants already go pretty deep
You'll know what I mean if you complete EA1

[gloomy meteor]

is there any noticeable upside to haul chassis over scout strider solo

[unborn fjord]

More hard points and a storage included

[strange swan]

Are you hauling things?

[low fern]

Yea, but i would ho exploring on your own too, its crazy what you can find and not mandatory

[gilded fable]

wtf. help...

[unborn fjord]

Steam is unlikely to accept refunds if you go over 2 weeks or over 2 hours playtime
It is still possible though (I once did it on a gifted game) but it's unlikely

[potent halo]

The main region has pretty complete coverage, the second region kinda progression checks you to make sure you have a tadpole with how the map is structured so it has a lot of not as forgiving areas within it.

[serene lotus]

theres a big cave right north some 200m from lifepod there it is. good luck. Please can someone stream while it downloads, just want to see the game

[warm mason]

Ok built the tadpol are you not able to place two additional floating boxes in each side of the boat or is it just the one in the back without an upgrades?

What hostile fish stands between spawn and the tadpol pens?

[unborn fjord]

Marrowbreaches
Plural
One is even a 2.5 of a normal marrowbreach

[steady valley]

what's wrong? you're just building?

[frosty lance]

how does that work on the gifted game? do the gifter get the money back?

[latent hemlock]

what gpu are you running? theres barely any point for them to include dx11 because if your gpu doesn't support dx12 it likely cant run the game anyway. to clear 60fps at medium settings you need a 6700xt/rtx3070 (at native)

[storm seal]

Not unless you're trying to transport resources in bulk for some big build project. Otherwise strap a portable storage locker on your strider and you're good to go

[sudden dawn]

Will more plants be added to the garden, for example the one that creates air Bubbles ?

[unborn fjord]

The person that had the game gifted has to allow the person that gifted to refund, then the refund process can be started, depending on the payment method it'll either go back to steam wallet, PayPal or card

[short field]

It looks more like a Seamoth? Looking like a Seamoth is massive plus

You get plenty of storage using the scout modification with the hardpoint storage locker on the back

It's slow as hell, even the scout is pretty slow compared to the original seamoth that went 19m/s where the Scout tadpole only goes 11

[unborn fjord]

some options like prepaid cards will just go into steam wallet though

[vital tusk]

So they aren't going to stay there even when we get the actual void leviathan? And is it possibly the elusive leviathan or are there separate plans for that?

[crimson wadi]

cant play the game it keeps launch crashing lol

[urban patrol]

can you scan it? im too scared to go near it

[indigo hearth]

I have! I know they’re in caves and things like that, and the area with the alien ruins has a bit less, but I’m assuming when the game gets updated with biomes as deep as lost river, or inactive lava zone, there won’t be that many there, if any at all

[acoustic ether]

Why are the evil fishes attacking me my health is down

[unborn fjord]

Yes he can be scanned, good luck on singleplayer though, oneshots players and vehicles
Doesn't attack coop players though, only host

[brittle peak]

I've been exploring but I get turned around so easy, the alien area is hugeeee. I wonder if we get to fix the power plant.

[livid leaf]

Does anyone have details on how my sub 2 updated

[viscid badger]

Found an uncatchable halfmoon, I can click it as much as I want and it wont get caught. He's escaped my jaws this time.

[mellow wagon]

what am i supposed to do with this bioscanner

[pale mango]

Scan certain fish to unlock Biomods

[sour current]

which one is the elusive leviathan

[granite gale]

halfmoons on their way to fishcord to complain about not being able to kill humans

[lost zodiac]

man said news networks because you cant kill fish LMAO

[unborn fjord]

It was well known there was gonna be no fish killing way before release.
https://unknownworlds.com/en/news/subnautica-2-community-letter-feedback
Please read the community letter, the devs are human too and when people insult the game they've worked years on they're not gonna be in the best of moods

[summer torrent]

[old falcon]

??? bros actually delusional

[jagged oxide]

average early access game player when early access game is not polished……

the devs have said multiple times theyre gonna add deterrents to keep the hostiles away as well as tweak the ai. and yes they said no killing before release

[strange swan]

TIL you can attach a storage locker to your tadpole.

[cloud saffron]

@vital tusk future update spoilers but anyway, i hope the ||elusive leviathan is the void leviathan that we encounter between the current area and the tree as the shiver leviathan seems to be a more deeper or depth one instead of a low depth one like the collector the current animation it has seems to suggest u will see it in the distance but its unknown if its a distant interaction or part of the code or ai it has thus far||

[low fern]

Need to destroy the small ones around

[unborn fjord]

Please listen to PDA dialogue and spoiler mid to late game content

[livid grove]

Kill the small nodes around it

[warped plover]

Does anyone know if our progress and bases will carry over each update

[short field]

No I just thought of an upside I can carry four people

The scout has two handlebars for two passengers meaning it can hold a total of three people

The hualing chassis has two seats and a handlebar meaning you can transport four people

But that's very niche you have four people and only one vehicle, maybe that will be more important when we get this Cyclops equivalent because all four players are basically operating in the Cyclops equivalent with only one vehicle in the cargo bay

[unborn fjord]

That's the goal but it might just not be possible
If an update breaks save people will be notified ahead of time

[limpid hornet]

News networks, good one 😹

[latent hemlock]

this was known before release and the sonic is still useful to deter fish. the really big ones arent worth knifing anyway

[stone sun]

it should right? im pretty sure there will be changes to the terrain tho which is what the "refund bases" button is for on the pause menu

[neat linden]

i love when the names of leviathans that arent even in the game yet are spoiled just because of dataminers

[cold bloom]

use the electric plants they work wonders lmao

[weak trail]

what yall think of the taste of Neurotoxin

E: Dear god its STILL 5 min??

[potent halo]

The cyclops equivalent will have 4 tadpole bays as confirmed by Anthony

[modern pier]

Is it true that you can use the collector leviathan to build stuff

[sudden dawn]

I didn’t know and i followed everything i could, that beeing said the devs said they want to try others fixes first and after the bangers they released we should have some faith in them.

[atomic glade]

maybe that's what he wants you to believe ;D

[glass heart]

Hi guys

[solid radish]

Reaction spam is a 5 min also, which I learned from seconding a 67 reaction marquee

[crimson wadi]

yea none of that worked

[mellow wagon]

how do you break these things? it says unknown tool but I haven't got a clue how to proceed at this point

[primal turret]

|| investigate the axum and mod station upgrades a bit more ||

[storm seal]

It's gonna be interesting watching video of subs encountering co-op sync issues while carrying 4 people in the equivalent of a mobile base

[pulsar raven]

I don't recall them ever saying you could kill anything before the game release either

[flat tiger]

L bait

[unborn fjord]

Yes that post was made yesterday, as a response to the post release feedback
As for the no fish killing, that was known for a long time, you did not keep up with marketing for a game you pre-ordered and there's no reason to be mad at the devs for that
Did you expect them to whisper everything into your ear?

[onyx egret]

but like
you have google and this discord and stuff
like
if this 30$ is so much then why didnt you research the game more before spending the 30$ on it
this info isnt hidden away in the pits of the dark web its public info and has been for ages

[livid heath]

This is a very small detail in the whole game, to me you are complaining about something like "they didn’t include in BG3 the possibilty to make a character with two heads".

[cloud saffron]

that was datamined ||you can see gameplay of it but its just a long rectangle rn with placeholders i think its going to be 4 tadpole spots but only 2 with each chassis||

[final acorn]

the highway begins

[light gale]

devs didn't promise killing fish in subnautica 2

[sour current]

it costs less than 2 hours at minimum pay bro the money you lost on this game can NOT be this deep

[harsh coral]

Would anyone else support the idea of at least in single player pausing the game in the informational panels ? For a game about exploration might not be a good idea to deplete peoples food and water while reading data bank lore it feels icky

[livid grove]

I understand for multiplayer but why would you need ||4 tadpole slots|| for single player

[violet ice]

[brisk pier]

really awesome

[frosty lance]

to flex

[tiny surge]

base the loooong wayyy is my favoute type of base to make in Subnautica 2.

[short field]

That sounds awful

Why have four tadpole bays, that makes it needlessly big for most people that would only require one or two vehicles to be stored at any time if playing by themselves

And if you're playing with friends it encourages people to actually use the handlebar mechanics

[mystic brook]

1 for each attachment (assuming there will be more and I hope there will)

[neat mason]

Make it a long big ahh pipe

[unborn fjord]

Now where's the obligatory train

[weak trail]

0/10 rage bait try again in 9....9....9.....9....9 hours. Continuing to monitor for distress signals from other life pods

[olive scaffold]

sonsumgs we are getting to kill fish but also we arent getting alot of new weapons

[unreal lichen]

i also remember the part where the steam page said you can kill fish in big letters

[potent halo]

Sounds pretty fun to me, you can always store multiple tadpoles with different chassis for different jobs even when playing solo, and everyone will be able to have agency and go off on their own if they want, and people can tag along on one tadpole if they want to do that, but it's also going to be a lategame thing so it makes sense for it to be able to fill a true mobile base role.

news networks i cant
guys breaking news game publicly marketed as having x has x in it
also wait wdym you cant figure ts out in 2 hours
it takes 1 minute to write a message here asking that, dont even gotta open or prepurchase the game for that
not to be rude but you literally just need to know how to read and write and you can get this answer that is supposedly super secretive and hidden in this giant conspiracy where the devs want to rugpull the game with... the info of leviathans being immortal
do you realize how insane this sounds 😭

also that is not a major core element or whatever what 🙏

[cloud saffron]

cause its still being built with multiplayer in mind, + it will be nice to have 1 of each tadpole in it and another thing datamined was frog something i remember i saw a video but i cant quite remember the name but it looked like a prawn suit successor (even if its just 4 rectangles) so you might end up with 1 spare slot cause knowing myself in solo im going to take one of each tadpole chassis or vehicle if possible

[magic atlas]

||anyone trapped collector here ?||

[silk meteor]

when will people get over the fact that you cant kill fauna its been like this ever since this channel opened

how?

i also really hope so, im actually liking the idea of incorporating the mechanics of the sea truck on the haul chasis like a trailer extension for it

(Posting this here because I said I would post the full bug report in the discord when I posted the bug in the feedback menu in-game. Before I knew that the "bug-smash" chat didn't work for Subnautica 2. I also sent the same thing on the actual website through the feedback link.)

Bug Report: Tadpole Spawns Below Dock on Area Return / Save Reload
​Description:
When returning to a player-built base or reloading a save file, the Tadpole fails to remain seated inside the Tadpole Dock. Instead, the vehicle consistently spawns in the water directly below the docking structure.
​Steps to Reproduce:
​Successfully dock the Tadpole into the Tadpole Dock at a base.
​Leave the immediate area (swim far enough away for the base to unload from memory) OR save and exit to the main menu.
​Return to the base area or reload the save file.
​Expected Behavior:
The Tadpole should remain securely locked inside the dock upon returning or reloading, functioning similarly to the vehicle docking mechanics in the original Subnautica.
​Actual Behavior:
The Tadpole spawns floating out of place, directly below the dock.
​Additional Context:
​I have tested this across multiple different survival save files, and the issue is persistent and easily reproducible.
​Environment: Xbox Series X / Windows PC (Xbox Play Anywhere)

Please read the community letter instead of being outraged
All previous titles were less about combat, that's why the only item in the fabricator that dealt direct damage as an item was the knife
There's also a message accompanied with a knife that weapons were removed following a massacre

[mystic brook]

iirc it has been like half confirmed there will be at least 1 more (prawn suit style)

[lost zodiac]

i accidentally connected 2 rooms together and it wont let me shrink it back am i cooked 😭

[short field]

And subnautica one the Cyclops by the mid game became your own base other than to exchange your prawn suit for your seamoth

Honestly it felt good returning to home-based exchange vehicles, basically have one of every type of vehicle in your base it would make permanent bases feel even more obsolete than they already do

Players always have the agency regardless if there's one vehicle Bay or four to do whatever they want, I just feel it's better to encourage cooperative gameplay and actually using features like the handlebars instead of just giving every single person their own vehicle in whatever the cyclopedic equivalent is

[gilded fable]

I think I'm done playing until this glitch is fixed, I'm not refunding my base for the third time in this save. so f###ing stupid

[magic atlas]

i really liked killing the leviathans with the knife tho was funny + the green toxic bombs

[rugged jewel]

Just the had bug where moving towards my base from a long distance teleports me into my tadpole dock

[onyx egret]

also what im not defending nothing
just saying that yk considering this has been asked
a billion times in this channel
maybe you could use the internet for what it was made for instead of going to the discord to complain
seriously, itd have been way more productive to come here before buying the game, ask this before buying the game, get an answer before buying the game, and then not buying the game
compared to whatever youre doing rn

[terse cloak]

Sooo is there a point where theres too much power? I genuinely think my massive supply is causing lag lol

[digital idol]

guys, did you know that subnautica 2 has fish

[neat mason]

Btw the scanning lifeforms for genetic enhancement is such a good idea because now I actually have to scann everything that breathes on this planet

[raw barn]

I feel like Air Bladder more useful for traveling than Wakemaker when you combo it with dash ability (not diving down)

[sour current]

oh i thought the prawn suit equivalent would be its own vehicle, weird that its a tadpole addon, feels a little odd but cool i guess?

[quiet cedar]

why cant i extend this room?

do the void guys onetap the tadpole

[flat cosmos]

Do you know what Early Access means?

[light gale]

it has alien fish not just fish

[oblique cradle]

I think too much construction is what's causing my lag. Had zero issues until I started to make my 2nd base bigger and when I get within 200 meters of it.... the lag kicks in... I'm going to shrink it tonight having finished the story.. after 45 hours! 🙂

[tawdry obsidian]

is this work in tadpole?

[pine dagger]

😭 I check discord and immediately I see this killing fish convo again lmao. Just wanna say I love the game, I love the direction and also I want my scanner rooms back ! 😄

[terse cloak]

And its all linked between all my different bases.. i might have issues

[onyx egret]

what law lmao there aint no law for this, thats not how false marketing is defined
source much
and yes you do have to come here to ask about stuff like this thats just common sense
and no it is not, just because something is in a game doesnt mean its a core element
that literally goes against the definition
also which dev exactly targeted and bullied you
id like some names

[half girder]

Imagine playing any subnautica game for combat instead of the “feel” and survival aspects

Why looking for combat like its pve game

The mentality of today’s gamer is that game = killing something is wild man. I wish we can go back to the time when people plays game to entertain themselves rather than just to kill something in EVERY game

[solid radish]

Okay I'm not gonna clown on you, I just want to respectfully reply. Killing fish vs being able to deter or avoid them is just a gameplay choice, idk how killing a respawning mob is absolutely needed in the subnautica gameplay formula, I never killed anything in S1 or SB0 except to farm crafting material or achievements, it really doesn't seem like it matters to me. Thoughts?

[limpid hornet]

Buddy you're embarassing yourself over a fish game, there's nothing inlawful about not informing people that there's no killing in your game on the store page, the game isn't false advertising that there would be killing, if this was such a huge deal breaker for you why didn't you check immediately and refund

Please move on with your life, try to refund the game and stop having a temper tantrum over killing fish in a video game

[mystic brook]

I'm fine with the scanner being a small buildable but please let us highlight all the scan results not 1 at a time 😭

[prisma nimbus]

Aren’t you guys excited to see who’s gonna be the actual void local after the current guys get to move to an actual biome

[cloud saffron]

where was this from?

[potent halo]

People have wanted a true mobile base sub for the longest time and it seems like that desire has won out, something that's truly able to be self sufficient in the deep and the cost of space to build it out in. I kinda get the perspective and if there was room for more subs like a midgame semi mobile base and then a true endgame sub I'd be all for the restrictions but the devs more than likely have to pick one and they might change their mind a bit by the time it gets added but if they stick with their current idea that's the role it's going to serve.

I'm not here to say it's the best decision ever and that there's no alternatives but I'll enjoy it regardless, and I will like being able to have the whole squad get in our seamoths and go out on organized sorties and whatnot.

[quiet cedar]

help pls??

[sour current]

My only problem with the whole fish debate is that driving the tadpole into fish is really weird. Its kinda just like hitting a floating rock. I feel like it could be more like the first games however maybe instead of "killing them" if thats not the direction they want to take it could just do a better job at displacing them without distrupting the tadpoles momentum as much.

[faint hill]

is there something below the starting area? i tried going as deep as i could but i only reached 1.2km

[granite gale]

yeah they don't have to die but just being able to push them out of the way would be nice

[neat mason]

Tbh i would have found it cool if you could ram fish fit the tadpole to deal damage because it makes no sence that thei dont take damage when rammed

[lost zodiac]

except this isnt fraud, you were never told you would be able to kill fish in sb2, if you actually wanted to talk legality of that at all you wouldnt be able to use the past 2 games as evidence of this when theyve been open about the trajectory of the game

its not the devs fault that you went in expecting something you were never promised

[oblique cradle]

Apparently Subnautica 2 has sold 4M on Steam alone, i've not seen any official news but 2M in 12 hours was impressive so the numbers must be high. Twitter is absolutely full of right wingers/blue tick grifters slaughtering S2. Why? Any excuse. There's a difference between wanting to protect yourselves/bases to the sheer grifting slaughtering this game. Most of us are here because we LOVE this game. For early access, it's REALLY impressive and one of the best early access games I've played. The devs deserve praise and a bonus. This hate against the game is typical of todays society from trolls and bots.

[terse cloak]

Yea tbh i feel this game doesnt let you do as much large scale construction as the other 2 did but im loving it so far.

[pulsar raven]

Are you genuinely calling the devs not saying fish can be killed, fraud...

[formal pine]

i hope they make nibbler mangos afraid of you like they'll start swimming around you sizing you up and might attack and once they do if you let one bite you they'll get more aggresive thinking they can take you but if you fight back with your multi-tool or the sonic resenator they'll back off again

[limpid hornet]

Then take UWE to court if you'd like, see how much that does for you, you're achieving nothing by doing whatever this is on discord

@neat mason Sascha said they will most likely do that

[onyx egret]

i dont think you understand what fraud means cause like
from a legal perspective this has nothing to do with fraud lmao, at least not in the us
what youre describing would fall under false marketing, and its not that in reality anyway

[flat cosmos]

Then what are you fuming over, if they "ruled the feature out" i haven't seen any ruled out feature anywhere besides maybe the terraformer/stasis rifle. They weren't naming the game fish killing simulator and they weren't using the killing feature from Sn1 and BZ as marketing for Sn2. 🤦‍♂️

[sonic crater]

everyone gets stressed out with nibblers but they only nibble, truly.

[potent halo]

The law doesn't care what the subnautica 2 discord and community thinks if it was fraud the "toxicity" of the community would be irrelevent in a court of law, it would just go before a judge and jury, no court cares what the people here believe.

[elfin shale]

Have someone managed to link the account ingame with twitch? in my german version, there are no optionts to link my account

[leaden void]

Smell that? It smells like you're facing the consequences from lack of reading, it's called accountability

[raw barn]

We need to unprinted this pioneer from discord

[cloud saffron]

instead of HP the creatures should react differently depending on how u interact with them, like if u ram a marrowbreach it will leave u alone but if u ram a hammerhead it rams u back ect make it more unique deterrence and more choices with deterrence especially at the base, a base part that deters fish away will be awesome cause hammerheads r rubbing their heads against my tadpoles in my moonpool

[half girder]

Atp people complaining about cant kill fish or anything related seems like a ragebait to me, the more we responds, the wilder it gets

Edit: can we just ignore them guys, there are people in this chat who needs help or wants to actually discuss the content

[weak trail]

news flash, fish eat us like we eat the smaller fish thats why the fish can kill us

[faint hill]

is there something below the starting area? i tried going as deep as i could but i only reached 1.2km

[shadow dew]

Finally got to play some of the early access last night. Kept going "I'll go that way", got turned around as I was too dumb to notice the compass and did a big circle. Loved it so much

[rugged jewel]

This isn't statisfactory 😅

[dawn widget]

Stop asking that and actually play the game and go look for yourself.

[unborn fjord]

You don't need to make a shouty (header) message

[paper merlin]

will possibly an entrance to a deep cave system in later updates

[pine dagger]

@oblique cradle agree, x is like that. But its amazing game.

I would probably soft lock people bringing up killing at this point lol

[lost zodiac]

you should go towards the tree 🙂

[limpid hornet]

Omg we finally got a halfmoon emoji?

[unborn fjord]

[broken wraith]

yo is this game on linux

[mighty lily]

are you able to actually get to the ||alien ruins||? just wondering because of how damn far the marker is lol

[elfin shale]

how to get twitch drops, when you cant link your account?

[unborn fjord]

It will run fine under proton 10

[potent halo]

True, he's been at this for like 24 hours now, even if it is sincere, it's extremely maladjusted social behaviour that's not healthy for the individual much less the community. I'll just block for his sake ironically

[unborn fjord]

to get twitch drops you have to link your account in-game from debug & info in settings

[strange swan]

Can you make more ||conduit crystal|| in the ||metal farms?||

[daring tinsel]

you building the power supply for the upcoming 6090?

[weak trail]

also woah its not 5 min anymore? PEOPLE PRESERVE THIS FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!

[onyx egret]

couldve written 500 emails to steam support by now btw
i dont get the idea

[unborn fjord]

iirc it also respawns

[shadow dew]

I did try, big scary fish ate me. Guess I made him happy by being a tasty snack 😅

[formal pine]

what? how could they do this to my underwater exploration game i cant deal im gunna go rant about this on all platforms

[unborn fjord]

500 emails is a surefire way to get your email blocked

[random moat]

It works for me - it's under: Einstellungen -> Fehlersuche/info -> At the bottom of that page, there's an option to link your twitch

[terse cloak]

Only a little power to turn on the lights

[sonic crater]

i have full faith the devs are gonna come up with creative solutions to mitigating hostile fauna, which is honestly the only solution that needs to be enacted in the game. they made that much clear with their official communications about what they plan to do going forward. doesn't need to be fatal to the fish. looking forward to the updates as they come!

[next hedge]

where isw the growbed

[pulsar raven]

Will the seamoth display case ever come back?

[unborn fjord]

Yes there will be more chances to get it

[lost zodiac]

i dont think you have enough power tbh, you need more

[elfin shale]

There is no Option for that, is the US Version different to German Version? nice to wait 2 min for answering 😄

[oblique cradle]

Well you can continue to build and build and the resources are plentiful, the performance issues for me when things get really big.. I think my CPU and GPU could do with a slight upgrade.. but that means new motherboard =and probably PSU to go along with it. My 1st base was smooth like anything but only like 3-4 buildings. My 2nd base had like... multiple floors.. tons of lights (and outside).. tons of storage.. I think 4x the size of my 1st base. Oh and TONS of power... I mean TONS.. I'm hitting 1K... its early access and on the road map is performance improvements.

[limpid hornet]

What's that supposed to mean, it wasn't there before

[unborn fjord]

I'm from Romania and the link option is very much there for me

[sour current]

lmao i just looked at this guys spotify and he uses ai generated images as the cover art to his music

says it all really 😂

[short field]

The only benefit of the tadpole over seamoth was the handlebars for extra passengers

Like if everyone is going to drive their own anyways all the time what's the point of the vehicle, it slower larger seamoth but has a harder time fitting through rocks

Even with the scout chassis it is slower then the og seamoth

[unborn fjord]

[mint fractal]

Bro why are we back to killing fish I thought we're over it wtf

[pine dagger]

Where can I go to leave praise for team UW, aside from buying game on my xbox as well as pc lol

[half girder]

Again..

[unborn fjord]

sn2 is a lot more slowed down
Go a little slower cmon, look at the scenery

[weak trail]

you clearly care... and please stop the mods will take our 2 mins again😭

[raw barn]

One of steam refund policy: if your play time over 2 hour+ you won't be able to refund anymore

[sonic crater]

trends die slowly

[terse cloak]

Yea.. im getting basically the same issue as your second base but instead theres so much going on that if i go within 200 meters it just teleports me to the moonpool.

[spiral grail]

give me slanted tubes. those ladders are a hastle and a half, the entire hitbox of those things.... i hate them^^

[spring rock]

Enough of subnautica 2, when is subnautica 3 coming out?

[onyx egret]

I am here because a dev told me to refun the game yesterday on steam and my refund was denied.
then tough luck, take it up with steam instead
thats just how it works, if you feel that 2 hours wasnt enough that is not the devs fault
if you feel that it wasnt communicated to you well enough, thats your fault for not researching (in this case)
its that simple

[potent halo]

The seamoth is built for a different game, the speeds of SN2 are all balanced within the context of each other, the speed of the base character is slower, the wakemaker is slower than the sea glide, the map itself is compressed with important things brought closer together, the raw distance units are arbitrary and in this case misleading

Fish and fauna speeds are also adjusted relative to this curve

[elfin shale]

Damn, its not there while playing a savegame, it olny appears in options, when youre in the main menu

[next hedge]

where is the growbed

[unborn fjord]

Incorrect
If you have a legitimate reason for getting a refund it'll still get approved
Bought less than 2 weeks ago or less than 2 hours playtime is the guaranteed window

[sour current]

subnautica 6 before GTA 6?

[oblique cradle]

Subnautica 3 will be another success story released in 2035. 3M sales in 12 hours. You heard it here first. The trolls will re-appear though.

[faint harbor]

|| alien ruins base ||

[mystic brook]

https://mapgenie.io/subnautica-2/maps/world

[shadow dew]

Main feedback I have from playing so far, I feel like the building could use a slight bit of a buffer on inputs when finishing constructing something. The amount of times where I was holding to build a room, didn't lift my finger the nanosecond it was finished so an extension started being built was nuts. But aside from that I really liked the new system.

[minor geyser]

@shadow dew Ideas for Subnautica 2. Where can you post them? Post them on our Nolt ( https://subnautica2.nolt.io/ ). See #1497212756674478220 and ⁠#announcements for more information.

[shadow valve]

-Well my friends and I beat early access a few times already -now we're building for fun
-the larger the base even with brand new PC builds we notice some pretty large performance issues seems as if no matter having the latest tech we still have some issues but all is well we don't mind much hopefully it's becomes more stable at some point

[warped plover]

I didn’t realize how far east it went, I’m at the ||alien structure|| does it keep going even further?

[placid sedge]

Anyone found an aquarium yet?

[short field]

I'm complaining about the arbitrary handlebars if we're just expected to own tadpoles

Like the Cyclops equivalent shouldn't have like four vehicle bays to encourage cooperative gameplay

[mint fractal]

Btw, are there any ||silver at the alien ruin? I'm building a base there with the current energy stuff but found no silver so far. Is it better to power my base with thermal there instead?||

[weak trail]

my god I can have REAL CONVORSATIONS AGAIN!

[spiral grail]

stolen money? that would imply not getting anything for said money, which simply isnt the case, might wanna rething that stance lol

[pulsar raven]

My base is banking on the fact that the devs don't decide to fix one of the bugs i found.

[limpid hornet]

4 bays can still be useful in singleplayer, you could take each chassis with you and swap them for your needs depending on where you go

Especially since one chassis will be a mech suit

[onyx egret]

"stolen the money" like the devs held you at gunpoint to click buy now on steam

[cunning burrow]

||About 650m southwest I believe, in a small ravine.||

[sonic crater]

tell us the bug so that it gets fixed (fr tho im legit curious haha; risk the inevitability of it getting fixed so we can all exploit it while it still is available)

[quasi talon]

bro I had to tear up my entire base from the ground because of a security update in the last game you are completely cooked

[leaden void]

Dont bother. He's the the type of person that will complain/argue and throw the blame on anyone/anything other than himself

[oblique cradle]

Pleaseeee I hope we do get much bigger vehicles.. I fell in love with my little mini sub base... considering the size and open sea surrounding the main first area.. Pllleaseeeee I want a submarineeeeeeee. We had one before 🙂

[potent halo]

The handlebars are there to provide options, they aren't there to force gameplay, if you want to build a tadpole, share resources and hang together with friend that's there for you, if you eventually want everyone to build their own fleet that's good too.

Have someone in a damaged tadpole and need to evacuate him, no time to repair the tadpole? hop on lets get out of here, it's there because it's cool, they aren't making a specific statement on how players are supposed to play multiplayer with it

The chassis are there to provide flexibility and make a single base vehicle feel more interesting without designing multiple different vehicles for slightly different roles.

[raw barn]

Bro playtime probably 2h+ causing him unable to request a refund from steam so most likely his own mistake for not doing a research or asking community before buying a game

[pine dagger]

I do sorta wish people could see real world age of posters sometimes, convinced the rage people are all below 16

[final acorn]

oh god I built too loe

[flat cosmos]

Go do something about it then, instead of complaining on here. I'm all for killing fish and i think it should be added, but you're throwing a tantrum lol. Not "chronically online" and comes to discord of all places to cry abt it. @umbral mango

[mighty lily]

and uh how exactly do we do that ? 😅 i tried heading towards it and got stopped eventually by the big boy

[daring tinsel]

the new moonpool getting bigger than expected

[strange swan]

Hey man, I get it. It takes a long time to save up your allowance to pay for a $30 game.

[mystic brook]

hmm since the moonpool is expandable I wonder if we'll get a dock for the big submarine
that'd be awesome af

[warped plover]

If they end up making it extend that far in all directions the map will be massive. I never played the first one so I have no reference for what to expect.

Also side note is there any way to ||avoid being killed or chased by that kraken||

[weak trail]

ever heard of the trident?

[dawn widget]

No. Kids under the age of 16 have far more intelligence and maturity than those clowns.

[shadow dew]

My dude, I implore you to touch grass

[pulsar raven]

Near the lifepod, in one very specific spot, the dive elevator just sends you 88m down below the map and i built my base on the inside of a cliff edge under the lifepod lol

[olive scaffold]

are ||alien ruins|| the end?

[cunning burrow]

So go install the mod that lets you kill things and quit whingeing.

[sonic crater]

dude that's hilarious

[spiral grail]

wrong, with sufficient reason and proper explanation you are still able to get your money back from steam, just needs more engagement with the support, AND a proper explanation

@raw barn yes, thats most often the case

@umbral mango so what you are saying is there wasnt anything stolen, you simply lacked the capacity to make an informed decision and/or the patience to wait until you are properly informed - you know, we usually call that a skill issue

[onyx egret]

ok but its funny to see them try to explain it

@umbral mango you got 1 less feature than you were expecting waow truly ruined the value of the game completely unplayable

[short field]

You shouldn't have one of each chassis in your large sub

Two maybe because one for the mech suit chassis and one for additional sub

But there's a reason to build bases in different locations in the map so you can change equipment, limitations make choices more important choosing what to bring

[rugged jewel]

Yeah I definitely think that will be fixed or might become a new biome

[final turret]

yes actually idk if anyone has responded to you or not.

[oblique cradle]

And yet.. these people are still here. You get a good jist of the game in 30 minutes. The only thing missing the base building in the early part. Which you can unlock pretty quickly. If the game has no interest for you in 30m, it won't at 2 hours or 10.

[limpid hornet]

You don't have to take them then, there's nothing about 4 docking slots that would directly impair singleplayer gameplay, just gives you more options

[pine dagger]

I dunno mate you havent seen my cousin 😂

[sudden dawn]

No need to be disrespectful. You can agree or disagree but leave it at that.

[raw barn]

can we ask NoA to unprint this "malfunctioned" pioneer?

[minor geyser]

Welcome aboard! Check out the most recent announcements in #announcements

[warped plover]

Respectfully, ignorance of the law doesn’t exempt you from consequences. Likewise, if there was news about it that you hadn’t read or done your due diligence before buying, why is it the developers fault?

[weak trail]

judging by how like half of my friends act this is so real

[storm seal]

For the lawsuit? Can I give shout outs?

[boreal cypress]

Yo is it a joke that you cant kill in S2 ?? I just saw a post and disgusting reply to player feedback. Killing things was the main thing in S1.

[leaden void]

There's every need when they're disrespectful first. Too many people get away with unacceptable behaviour because people don't call them out/treat them as they treat others

[onyx egret]

is this blud fr trynna bring ts to news stations
the email youre getting back is NOT gonna look pretty just saying
also wait yeah can i also get a shoutout
i need my name highlighted thanks in advance

[digital sedge]

No killing

[solid radish]

Hey, I appreciate the reply and civil discussion!

So the devs told you to refund the game if you don't like it, and that seemed contemptuous to you? I can definitely understand if you felt like the hostile mobs were not fun to play with. Dying to Stalkers for no reason definitely caused me to say swear words out loud.

It's hard for me to imagine they meant this reply in a hurtful or contemptuous way though. Subnautica 1 was in early access for a long time, and I came back and replayed it to new QoL features many times over the years.

Currently all fish do the same tiny tick damage, which for me indicates that they are probably gonna add fish killing/dispersing and when there is more options for the player, make getting attacked by each different fish hurt more depending if its big/in a high risk/value area or not.

I doubt it's ideology on their part, they just haven't finished the game yet lmao. Regardless if you get your refund, this game will be excellent in a few years, so I'd honestly just keep your EA/1.0 price savings and come back after a while, see if they haven't fixed it. The very first patch, 1.1, is gonna be QoL anyways

[short field]

Dude we already know we're getting a bigger cyclops equivalent

I wouldn't have bought the game if we weren't going to get a cyclops equivalent

We're talking about the number of vehicle base that would be inside the Cyclops equivalent

Here's screenshots of this transcript of the q&A talking about the cyclops equivalent

[spiral grail]

because accountability, you know.. that thing most people these days lack? ^^

[cunning burrow]

That’s bait.

[oblique cradle]

To be fair, my 7 year old is a better human being and higher level of intelligence compared to a powerful President, she too throws a tantrum but only when tired/hungry. Feed her and let her sleep, she's like a kitty kat. I'd let her play Subnautica 2 with me if I had the money for a good laptop.

[potent halo]

I mean the thing about the Cyclops switch to the prawn suit was that you didn't get an option anyway, the seamoth didn't have a high enough crush depth to take to the lava biome without modding the modules back in.

Idk like I think it's an interesting perspective, but it kinda feels like you are saying everyone is wrong for being ok with it being as it is rather than presenting your preference and giving your reasons and hoping that the philosophy you have wins out because of it's merits 🤷

[dawn widget]

I am your cousin! Dof dof dof dof d-d-d-dof! (That’s my Eastenders end of episode reveal/cliffhanger drumroll. 🤣)
