Lunchmeat Larry posted:lol the sound designer's a hitler He got fired, which is loving hilarious, and then alt-right people started review bombing the game. All its done is given subnautica a boost in sales which it so desperately deserves, this game rules. Also I don't think they realize that they aren't helping this racist poo poo head, if anything they are only making him that much more unemployable.

Just started playing, is there a way to add my inventory space to the survival pod itself? Having to go outside to retrieve stuff is a minor annoyance.

Pretty much stuck with the little storage containers you can plop out under your pod, until you build a habitat builder. After that a mini tube base + solar panel.

What kind of monster wouldn't follow the Sea Emperor's adorable children out through the portal, just to watch them frolick and play in their newly revitalized aquatic paradise?

What do I need to do to harvest larger creatures? I knifed a stalker to death and couldn't seem to do anything with its corpse. Pretty annoying since I spent like 3 minutes chasing it down, but I suppose there's a lesson to be learned about hunting there.

Bone sharks are still the most annoying enemies in this game, bar none. I can avoid warper patrol paths, I can skirt by leviathans with patience, but bone sharks just chase me for miles and wreck everything that isn't the Cyclops. Killing something should deter all the others of the same type in the immediate area for, I dunno, at least an hour or something. At the very least, drilling them in the face should stop them from thinking about harassing me.

This isn’t a “kill every thing in the ocean” kind of game. That’s why every weapon is a defensive tool. Think Star Trek. Yeah, there are predators that want to take a bite out of you but you don’t need to kill them to deal with them.

uXs posted:Also today I discovered you need to actually plant the creepvine clusters to grow creepvine that will have clusters. Merely planting the creepvine won't do. That makes sense. A similar rule applies for stuff like mushrooms and other smaller plants - you need to knife them for spores and then plant those. Be careful knifing plants that are full of acid, it will hurt you. The utility of growbeds definitely makes it worth the effort though.

Google Butt posted:shoot it in the head with the stasis rifle Somewhat related: My only death to fauna in this game occurred in the post-Neptune-built victory lap where I decided to scan all of the creatures that I never bothered to previously. It was so trivially easy to stasis rifle the Reaper and 2 Ghosts that I pretty much lost all fear of Leviathans. Casually strutted right up to the face of the final type for my last scan and....oh yeah. These ones breathe fire. Turns out it kills you pretty much instantly, too. Who woulda thought If I play through Subnautica again I may have to opt not to use that gun, though. Despite my blunder at the very end, that thing is stupidly overpowered and the tension suffers greatly because of it. Almost everything goes down to one shot + 3 seconds of knifing. I paved my way to the stars on the backs of a thousand boneshark corpses. Hell, even without it the predators in this game, while scary-looking, don't seem very adept at killing you.

Pretty annoying since I spent like 3 minutes chasing it down, but I suppose there's a lesson to be learned about hunting there. I had never tried to kill a stalker until THE LORE told me it was faster than playing scrap fetch and hoping a tooth dropped the 5th time. So killing the one cool predator in the game for nothing made me sad. Section Z fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Feb 8, 2018 |

Before they turned the seamoth into tinfoil it was my primary weapon against the horrors of the deep. A few good bumps and even bonesharks would try to run away. Even tried to ram a reaper once... their claw things actually deform on impact, it turns out.

The payoff to killing large creatures and not getting anything comes when you release the emperor babies and unlock the true ending of the game by grappling and drilling them one by one into sad dirt.

I picked this up a week or so ago and have been playing steadily since. The Reaper Leviathan behind the Aurora killed me very early in the game after just about making me poo poo myself in terror and I've been *very* wary of that area ever since. Tonight I took my stasis rifle and gathered my courage with a single goal in mind: scan that fucker. By the time I finished the trek from my base it was getting dark so I hovered anxiously on the cliffs that seem to be the border of it's domain, not quite being brave enough to go into the dark water in search of my prey. After a few minutes I had a brilliant idea: I could bring my Seamoth up nearby and turn the lights on so I could have a better chance of seeing it. This apparently drew the Reapers attention because it immediately shot out of the darkness and grabbed my poor Seamoth, dragging it a hundred meters or so before crushing it to death. Then it came directly for me. Fortunately stasis rifles are apparently really good because I was easily able to stun when it came in for the kill and scan it before quickly running away. It was a bit anti-climactic to be entirely honest but I did enjoy the note in the journal thing congratulating me for scanning it and living to tell the tale. Now my question is if anyone has ever successfully knifed one of these bastards to death or if it's even possible at all. I need my vengance.

Section Z posted:I was very miffed when I tried and failed that, after reading a PDA about another survivor knife fighting stalkers for their teeth just fine The entire reason I went after one was because the PDA told me their teeth would be useful. Gotta say, if there's no incentive for hunting larger creatures in this game I'm disappointed. Tracking a large creature across the ocean and stabbing the gently caress out of it with my knife was fun. At least let me carve some steaks off of it. Though honestly the whole survival element of this game confuses me since it seems irrelevant. You can just meet your hunger and thirst needs by spending one minute picking up fish and then you are set for ages. Maybe there is stuff that makes it a lot harder to get by later though, which wouldn't surprise me. I just inevitably compare every survival game to Don't Starve where getting to a point of comfort when it comes to food takes ridiculously long.

Tracking a large creature across the ocean and stabbing the gently caress out of it with my knife was fun. At least let me carve some steaks off of it. This game is a survival game for like the first two hours and then you are never in any real danger of dying of thirst/hunger ever again unless you purposely don't bring supplies on a super deep/long trip. Even then there are tools and equipment later in the game that allow you to solve both needs on-the-go Don't think of it as a survival game, it's an exploration/adventure game with some base survival mechanics Pendent posted:Now my question is if anyone has ever successfully knifed one of these bastards to death or if it's even possible at all.

Welp, just died. I thought running out of breath meant you just started taking damage, not it being a near instant kill. What a stupid way to lose. Back to the kiddie pool I guess. Paracelsus posted:Stalker teeth are a remnant from earlier plans for the game where there was supposed to be a lot more interaction with the fauna as a means of problem-solving. Aw that's lame. I was hoping that interacting with all this weird wildlife would be a big part rather than just shoving peepers and bladderfish down my throat for the entire game. So is there even a reason for me to horde all these creature eggs? They take a ton of space but I was hoping there would be something cool I could do with them.
