Fucks sake, I almost died again. After establishing a totally pointless cave base, I realized i needed to travel really far to find new blueprints. So I traveled over 1500 km to some wreck in a weird area I hadn't been too. Immediately notice a bunch of massive electric eels. Scary, but I figure as long as I keep my distance I'll be fine. Well while poking around inside a sunken hull I suddenly heard a loud popping sound. I wasn't sure what it was so I decided to play it safe and look outside. What I see is one of those loving eels trying to worm its way into the wreck. So that was frightening, but what was really horrifying was that it blew up my loving seamoth! If I hadn't gone outside I would of drowned for sure. I barely made it to the surface and had to seaglide 1500 km home. I dunno if those things are attracted to vehicles but it was rude as hell.

Well, I finally made it. Did the thing with the things so I could do that thing to the big thing and then made a different big thing that could finally be used now the first big thing had had the thing done to it. That was a hell of a ride. Personal non-spoilery highlights include: Losing my Seamoth while waaay underwater because I didn't realise it'd be attacked while I wasn't in it, and having to seaglide to the surface in a hurry. I made it up there, but with only 15% battery left I had to swim the rest of the way back to my base, saving the battery in case I needed a sudden burst of speed to avoid something trying to eat me. Getting the Cyclops beaten the heck up somewhere deep and hot. Had to dash around putting out fires, patching up the hull, and then cobbled together an emergency base using the materials on hand and what I could scavenge from the area so I could recharge my drained power cells. Should've packed spares. And a lot of good stuff on the storyline that I won't go into here. I'm sad it's over, but looking forward to whatever exansion or sequel the devs come up with next. It's a pleasant change of pace to play a survival game where everything's so tightly scripted. Minecraft and it's ilk have more replayability, but at the cost of an engaging experience, imo. Here there's always something worth looking at over the next rise or in the next cave.

I'm delaying my endgame because I want to scour every handcrafted biome. They're all so lovely and so full of neat things to admire. Not since Skyrim have I spent so much time standing—or floating—in place just looking at something pretty. The novelty helps a lot too. I've played so many open world games in forests, and cities, and outer space, but never under'da sea. I'm shocked nobody's done it sooner. It offers a great balance between freedom of movement and density of content. Not to mention a tidy excuse to limit the view distance!

Here is my mostly pointless Main base: It is not finished, it serves little purpose except to experiment with Alien Containment (Biggest one is 6 or 7 rooms high and breeding only Crabsnakes) and other items I would otherwise ignore. Captive Bred Crabsneks are guarding the area very efficently, any biters or anything at all not Snake shaped that swims in gets chomped on real fast. There was an incident where an overexcited Crabsnake was chasing a peeper that I came too close to and took a chomp at me as well, but otherwise they are a friendly and vigilant Guardsneks. I am effectively late game so I wanted to have some fun before I do more story, I also have a mass Crashfish containment, and I plan to bring a batallion of Crabsnakes along on my Cyclops to unleash against my enemies.

So I built my Cyclops recently and am in the process of packing up to move Deeper. Problem is, it seems like the Cyclops just starts drifting around sometimes while I'm inside of it, so my character has to pop back up through the floor and sometimes falls through it. Is there a specific thing that causes this? I feel like it might be some bit of furniture; I've built a bunch of lockers and stuff inside of the Cyclops, as you do, and am not entirely thrilled at the prospect of deconstructing everything piece by piece to find one offending object.

I went into the game pretty blind. After exploring the Gun Island I swam out and saw my first warper. I got excited and thought that maybe it was a precursor and it turned out, no, that wasn't the case, now you will drown. Also, is the achievement for finding the Degassi base in the Deep Grand Reef bugged? I found it last night and snagged all the abandoned data pads (at least I think I did, I was being mobbed by crabsquids at the time) but no achievement.

Yeah, I found a really fun one when trying to place a duffel bag on the cyclops. I managed to get it to turn on its side, clip, and die twice in about 5 seconds. It was awesome.

I guess this explains why my base in the Sparse Reef can only detect Uraninite if I also went near the Grand Reef, or why my primary base can scan for Reaper Leviathans even though Reapers would only be on the extreme edges of its range. Or why I haven't been able to scan for fragments in a long time.

I've taken to keeping one piece of each resource as a "seed" to drop outside if necessary. Mostly just for the large ore deposits, but it's good for rubies and the like.

Did you pick up the PDA in the top section of the base, with a separate entrance? I missed that one the first time around because I couldn't find a ladder inside.

I think I have the same, or a similar, bug. If I stand still for too long, I notice it's drifting. Then I will clip through the floor and immediately spawn a few metres above the Cyclops, begin falling, land on its roof and take a load of damage, continue falling for a couple of metres below the sub where I will "dive" into an invisible water surface. After that I can swim back up and re-enter it. I think I've consistently fixed it by turning the engines off before stepping away from the helm. My guess is the Cyclops retains a little bit of inertia, just like the Seamoth does when you exit that, and the physics engine can't cope with the player walking on a surface that is moving.

I have just enough components to build either the rebreather or the habitat gun thingy. I don't know if I want to build a base (and so have a place for my resources,) or swim deeper (and find more resources.) I might have to sleep on this. Or be paralysed into no decision. Also, does anyone feel time goes really slowly when you're playing this? Maybe it's nerves making my time in the game seem longer or maybe it's the dulled underwater sounds and wavy motions, but I can play for twenty minutes and feel like I need a break.

Thirding a habitat builder. Don't stress about ~the ideal location~ to place a base either, you get 100% of the resources back when you deconstruct things

Build a base, you need storage space badly. The rebreather doesn't do anything if you aren't diving below 100 meters which you really shouldn't be doing much of without better gear. just find an area that is relatively open to setup stuff and build a bunch of storage lockers. Once you have a habitat builder a functional "base" can consist of nothing more than one segment, a hatch, and a solar panel.

You'll think different once you've covered every interior surface with lockers and yet still hunger for more storage! The balance they struck between the three vehicles is some very fine game design. Each one is essential in its own way.

Scarecow posted:So i finally got the prawn and grappling hook so i could Infinite. You can't kill any large predators period, you can only make them go away for a bit. I used to think you couldn't kill smaller predators but then I had some experiences with two of them that give me inklings that you totally can, they just have insane amounts of health. Case study 1: Freakin' Bonesharks. Getting all up in my grill while I'm clomping around in my prawn looking for copper. One just does not leave me alone. So I drill it. And punch it. And drill it. And punch it again. Then it sort of turns on it's back and starts flopping pathetically while just... Floating there. 'Good, maybe now I can actually drill some of this gold here' (I was not in the right biome for copper drill deposits  )Case study 2: Those Pesky Stalkers. My base is at the northern thermal vent in the shallows where it borders the kelp zone with grassy plains just a few further meters away. It's a good place to get around some early-game areas quickly for picking up stuff. So, since I hadn't played much with a scan room thanks to the beta bug where it seriously messed with the audio, I get to building one to try it out, install it's HUD chip and find some quartz. Everything's pretty hunky dory. Then I notice that one of my camera's is 300 meters away from the other. 'Huh, wonder why that is.' I go back to my base, head on up to the scanner room and hit the camera. It's just floating there above the grassy reefs with some metal scrap nearby. 'Weird.' I think and float it on back to the scanner room and go about my business. I look up again and see that, once again, Camera 1's 300 meters away from my base. 'wtf i just moved it back' I go and head back on up to figure out what's going on. Turns out a stalker had taken a liking to it and was pulling it to it's respective 'junk drop off' point. I think that's cute and swim the camera back to my scanning room. Long story short: the above cycle of 'get camera back, go do something else, notice something off with cameras' culminates in three pesky stalkers playing with both of my scanning room camera's like they're annoying teens from next door playing ball in my yard. Every time I bring a camera back, the stalkers are all like 'ooh the ball get the ball' and start dragging it off, Camera 1 to 300 meters, Camera 2 to 800! meters (they grabbed it amongst themselves, hence the analogy.) Finally I had had enough. I deconstructed the scanning room (blowing up a speed module in the process) then took my propulsion cannon and shot both camera drones into the deepest part of the thermal vent (it took multiple tries because 'ooh ooh he's got the ball get the ball' stalkers.) I checked to make sure all 3 stalkers were in the vent before I went off and did other things. Eventually both camera's disappeared off of my hud (probably blown up from heat damage) and I haven't seen hide nor hair of them since. Even after building a replacement scanning room.

I absolutely would not say that smaller stuff has an insane amount of health, either. You can trivially annihilate anything other than a leviathan or a lava lizard with one stasis blast and like under 10 thermoblade swings. Even something as large and scary as a crabsquid stands no chance. That being said, the death animation on Subnautica enemies is weird and it's possible you killed stuff without realizing it.

Finished the game this afternoon, pretty good run what with all the EA playtime I have had in various iterations. Constructing the Neptunefelt almost anticlimactic, it was fairly easy. A fully stocked set of lockers on my Cyclops helped of course. I did have to find some lithium but that was it. What’s the reason for the lockers on the neptune? I didn’t bother stocking them with stuff, but perhaps it is for a future expansion (which would kind of suck because at that point I was too lazy to load them up. Before blasting off I freed everything in my alien containment though. Bye cuddlefish!
