Earlier ITT i posted that "subnautica VR is trash for trash people no touch controls or anything lulululul im gay dead game", but it doesn't seem to be quite the case. Just fired it up in VR cause i was bored and they seem to at least be working a bit on it cause Touch has some functionality now. You look at stuff and then use your touch buttons to interact with them, it just halfway works like everything else in the game. Subnautica VR does have some neat potential, but needs a lot of work so not terribly hopeful. It doesn't really feel like a VR game tho cause you don't see your hands, but babysteps.

I found a section of The Void that has a smallish hole you can fall into. This means you can build a base. Bring melon seeds or a couple big eggs and you can power the whole thing too. I don't know if Ghost Leviathans attack bases, though. Coordinates: -1393.2, -324.2, -905.5. Jump off with your Prawn, facing the The Void, and you should land eventually.

Do you happen to have a video or screencaps of this spot? https://streamable.com/mb51r Without the "fog" console command, it's pitch black except for your PRAWN Suit lights and whatever lights from your base. It's impossible to get back up unless you're on Creative mode; the grapple arms can manage it easily but the Ghost Leviathans will eat you within a minute. If you're really determined, you could try taking the Cyclops down. Might require several decoys and the shield module. I don't know if the Ghosties continue attacking your sub when you're out of it, at that depth. I was testing the feasibility of creating a base down there on my regular save, just to have it. Without the Cyclops or cheating, I don't think it's possible. On a related note, you used to be able to jump off the side and fall forever. One of the latest patches teleports you back to the Safe Shallows if you manage this; my save file that's almost 750,000 meters underwater just dumps me back there. The game engine starts to break down around 100k, and just gets worse.  The screen was violently shaking: https://streamable.com/ymia5 Edit: Well now I need to find out if it's feasible. I'll have to load up the Cyclops with decoys and the shield. I'll consider it a success if I can make a base and escape out of the Void without dying.

There's going to be a launch stream at an aquarium on the 23rd.Marketing email posted:During the stream, you can look forward to: I assume they aren't going to actually do any live exploration gameplay due to pop in issue.

I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium last year and although I had bought Subnautica months before I never spent much time playing it. After I got home from the aquarium tho I was super stoked on water and sunk about 20 hours into before getting bored/tired of popup. Launching from there is a good gimmick, well played game devs. Now fix your game.

Does it use 1% no matter what, or less if you have In Batteries? I haven't used the sonar, I just go with the cameras. I've also found it useful for carrying supplies for a new base, or carrying more that I farm with the Prawn. Seamoth is faster but doesn't hold enough and you can't get the Large Deposits, the Prawn takes a while and also can't hold that much compared to the Cyclops. I read through the entire thread, I guess I'm having too much fun with it to let stuff bother me.

The sonar is really useful but it is far too energy-expensive for what it does. Either it needs to have the visual last much longer (at least for the non-moving parts), or the cost needs to maybe be a third of what it currently is.

You can use it as a base if you somehow got one before you got a decent base but once you have a decent base, the cyclops is pretty unneccesary and more prone to being eaten by bonesharks while you're not looking. It's an interesting novelty I guess but I would probably never bother with it were it not mandatory below a certain depth. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Jan 18, 2018 |

Unless they made some QoL changes I've overlooked regarding the blue keycard, even if you are the coolest Prawn pilot in the world. Cyclops mostly has going for it plot wise "Allowed to have a fabricator", to deal with the fact there is one blue keycard but two blue doors. Otherwise, you had to U turn and go back to the nearest base. Or have built one ahead of time right outside one of the portal exits. I lost track of people soft locking themself out of the plot and needing to use the console, because they used their blue keycard without scanning it only to find a second blue door right behind it. Hopefully it at least adds the blueprint directly on picking up your first one or something now? Speaking of keycards. I wonder if launch will add any relevance to the Orange keycard room, except for data files and a couple ion crystals at least. I think I read they put a cuddlefish egg in there?

They haven't fixed the blue keycard issue yet? If you didn't scan it before using it you're locked out of progression without the console? They should just remove scanning/fabrication of keycards completely and hide them throughout the world with clues here and there. How many of each color need to be crafted as it is?

Zesty posted:They haven't fixed the blue keycard issue yet? If you didn't scan it before using it you're locked out of progression without the console? It's been quite some time since I went through the route, so I'm trying to he hopeful that they have by now, or at least by launch. Needing to scan for the purple keycards worked out fine because you had a nice obvious "broken" one to grab your attention near the entrance to the giant cannon, along with various spares across the game. Though it's more convenient to craft spares on replays once you know exactly how many ion crystals you want for what when, purples range from "You need this for plot progress" to "It opens a little side room". You have a well implemented assurance you will have it scanned, and will have long since learned purple keycards are something you may want spares of. Forgetting to scan the orange keycard never mattered because there was only the one door for it anyways, and (Unless they changed it) you could beat the game without ever even knowing that place existed. Which probably goes a long way to why people didn't expect to need spares of anything but the purple cards on their spoiler free run. It was always the blue key card that caught people off guard. "I made it! The Blue Keycard unlocked the end the game-is that a second blue keycard door?". Or the merely annoying case for people who did scan it, but taking their Prawn to the finish line meant awkwardly realizing you had no way to craft the surprise second key without heading back to the closest Cyclops or base. It's was easily dealt with, either by console commands or an awkward trip home. But still a bit of a speed bump right before your big meeting with exposition. Which is why it would be nice to hope it was fixed/is going to be fixed in implementation. Section Z fucked around with this message at 07:15 on Jan 18, 2018 |

Keycard blueprint thing hasn't been an issue for at least 6 months. It artificially extends the game for a bit, but isn't backbreaking. You can fit a lot of poo poo in the Prawn and player inventory so you could just carry down a barebones base with you to fabricate the spare. There's a bunch of basic building materials in lost river big ore things to work with. Should be more efficient to take that route than building and upgrading a Cyclops. Never Cyclops.

Last time I tried to drive it through the lost river there was some kind of effect that cut its speed down to like a third of whatever it normally is, even at full speed, as soon as you enter into that area. It's really annoying and makes it take absolutely ages to drive through there even ignoring the fiddliness of trying to get it down through the kelp caves or the reef.

The cyclops also counts as a respawn point which is amazingly nice and reassuring for the places that take 20 minutes to reach from surfaceDongattack posted:They made bonesharks not agro the cyclops at all?

Enemies that care about the cyclops were reduced months ago, only the big poo poo cares now so the majority of journeys are the way they used to be, also you can bump into stuff slowly without each bump ripping a hole in the side

Idly watching a streamer play the game for the first time now and then atm. It's kinda baffling to me that you don't start with the multipurpose room unlocked. He unlocked the base building tool a while back, but keeps saying "well i cant start building a base without the multipurpose room, its the only ROOM, the rest are just corridors!". So he keeps fruitlessly looking for the multipurpose room, probably will be for a long rear end time cause the first ones you come across are either at 200m or on the island iirc. Edit: such an utter joy to watch someone who isnt a bitter vet enjoy the game tho. also he just get owned by his first leviathan

You can build corridors to start. There is a multipurpose room in the Jellyshroom Caves, where one of the first radio signals or lifepods sends you. I had a Seamoth when I finally made it down there, so I could just park it at 199m and swim down to scan things. I didn't know anything about the game (I don't think I'd even opened the Wiki yet) and I managed to find it just fine by following the breadcrumbs. Maybe it shouldn't be an unlock but it's not exactly hard to find.

The lack of a basic room confused me on my first time playing as well. Nobody is going to think that they're supposed to build their first base out of connection tubes, or that those tubes are actually big enough to put stuff into. if the multipurpose room is too special to be available from the start, then they could at least add a smaller basic room.

I can safely say I built my first base out of corridors. I figured out the multipurpose room existed because I'd unlocked equipment that could only be built in one, but setting up the base was intuitive. I had more trouble figuring out that I didn't need to pump air into it. Wasted a lot of time and material trying to build a long tube to the surface.

It's dumb that it's locked but it is pretty easy to find because you get pointed directly to the cannon island, and if you poke around there at all then you can warp to the floating island where the room is very easily seen. In practice I doubt many new players go overly long without it

They should give you a deployable 'starter' room that you find in your pod. It won't be able to be replicated, so you would still have to find the blueprint to build more. Hire me UWE.

Yeah they finally made that sensible change (to much wailing and crying of their players wanting the world's most hardcore survival game in the world). But after that change something was done to large predator AI that makes them keep loving with my Cyclops while it's parked engines off. Not "attack" (Though it did a couple times, that was clearly a bug). But break off their patrol routs to bee line to it and hump it for technically no damage until it gets destroyed by either collissions, or glitches (The game does NOT like trying to dock your prawn into the cyclops if it's askew or moving. I've had my cyclops teleported halfway through the mountainside around the containment facility). So hopefully this too is on the list of "They fixed that while you were out". Even if it was already a problem I got every time I loaded my game amidst people telling me "Well, that never happens to ME!" or "Why are you bringing your cyclops to the containment facility anyway, you idiot?" between yelling at anyone saying the Cyclops is too useless to bring to the containment facility. Dongattack posted:Idly watching a streamer play the game for the first time now and then atm.

Dongattack posted:Guy i'm watching is so focused on finding the multipurpose room that he does not check his radio and so he's never pushed towards the cannon island At least the Radio triggers have been cleaned up a lot though. Less unrelated stuff, like building a bio reactor used to be the radio trigger for the closest lifepod with the repulsion gun or some other big QoL upgrade. Plus now there are redundancies, like the previously problematic "You won't be shown where the lifepod with the Cyclops depth upgrade is until you build a thermal reactor!", also has "Or you enter the grand reef". That was one of the more oddball flow problems, even if you did want to regularly check your radio. To the point the Devs said "Wait, the BIO REACTOR Triggers WHAT? That's strange".
