Make sure you scan all the furniture and equipment too since it could save you a lot of fragment hunting  I usually hit the bases early on for that reason aloneEscape Pod 5 is just above a Jellyshroom entrance, so if you want to save some time navigating you can flick on that beacon Danaru fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Mar 1, 2018 |

Mein Kampf Enthusiast posted:I haven't found that spoiler'd thing and the only things in that cave where the little fish that bite and the blood crab things If you've thoroughly explored both islands (and done the Mountain island in the context of the Sunbeam), you should have received a PDA message with vague further instructions. Specifically, I read a message around then that said: you're infected, but there is activity indicating another alien base south-west of the Quarantine Enforcement Platform (the gun) that can help you research it further. It's accurate enough, but (more detailed hints) you'll need to go way deep--about 600m--to reach the biome with it.. At least I'm pretty sure that's how they guide you. f#a# fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Mar 1, 2018 |

Thanks for the tips. I think my next step is to move my materials over to the Cyclops and set up shop in there. Then I can figure out where to explore next. Where do the Seamoth depth upgrades come from? I only have one, but at this point I think I'd much prefer to have that instead of the Prawn when I got down to 400-500.

I have no idea if I even made a dent in its HP but drat was it satisfying to have that Ghost charge me like 3 times and get punched a bunch of times and swim away. One of the passes it took at me I timed it perfectly and punched it and it broke away from charging me and didn't do any damagae I felt like a total badass

One of the scariest moments I've had was sailing off the edge of the map trying to find stuff on the vertical wall (I know there's nothing but my inner-explorer refuses to believe that). Suddenly I heard shrieking and had 3 ghost leviathans circling around my seamoth shoving it around. I got so disoriented that aside from the leviathans I could only see complete darkness and had no idea which direction was up or down. That's one the freakiest things that can happen to a diver. Being trapped in a cave is scary but its equally terrifying to be so far down in open water that you can't even tell what direction up is.

I remember hearing Big Spice in the Ghost Forest yelling at me and just continuing swimming since I figured he'd get caught on the trees I always swim near. I took a peek behind me after a while to see he had JUST lost interest in me less than a meter away from my feet  Also in looking up the name of the Ghost Forest, I just learned Big Spice is only a baby, and there's a picture of him next to an adult and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

guess I could just seamoth around for a night and pop some beacons down and then evaluate once I’ve found a bunch. Don’t really wanna have to do crazy cyclops maneuvering to get in and out of the base tho

"Big Spice" is easy. When he's coming for you he lets off a distinctive scream and if you're in the Prawn all you need to do is strafe slowly to sidestep him. His body might make contact but you'll avoid all damage until the next scream. What's not easy is navigating the cyclops through those trees. Twice in there I got lodged in them and had to swim around the cyclops to see where it was stuck, and once I had to patch some holes. Worth it for a FOB seabase at the Junction though.

I've started living directly out of the Tree Cove, so I usually only see him when I'm headed to or from the surface in the Seamoth. I also haven't been arsed to build a Cyclops yet, but I can see how that'd be a little tougher to sneak past him with

alrighty time for a base dump here's the main complex. you can see: the two containment rooms on the right side, the main work space in the middle, living space in bottom left, moonpool to the left, reactor room behind that, scanner room past that (with the camera drones overlapping it). note that the containment rooms are on a higher elevation than the rest of the base.  a closer look, you can see my garden and solar panels. this is the original foundation of the base, which grew around it.  main workspace. in here: bioreactor, battery charger, power cell charger, filtration system, fabricator, medkit fabricator, two lockers.  the smaller alien containment unit (containment 1). this is where i hatch eggs and keep predators. i don't remember what egg is in there now, maybe a river prowler?  the larger containment unit, three stories tall (containment 2). this is the herbivore tank, where friends can share space and play and laugh. it's also where i breed peepers both for food and fuel.  yup. it's tall.  a scenic route between these chambers. they also connect directly, but this is for nice views for my aquarium guests. also there's a hatch in this tunnel leading out and a ladder down to the main complex.  here's my bedroom. there's a hatch out, and it connects to a hallway linked to the moonpool and the main workspace. i need to make a new vending machine!  the moonpool where my humble SQUIDFUCKER docks. all of my vehicles have the most garish paint schemes i can imagine  the reactor room links the moonpool and the scanner room. i didn't include screencaps of the scanner room inside cause it's, well, a scanner room, but it has three range upgrades. beyond the scanner room is a ladder up to the long passage towards the jellyshroom caves annex  here's a passage leading away from the main complex  and even more passageway to get to the cave entrance  whoa that's a long way down  that's a lotta rungs. good cardio.  little passageway at the bottom, to get to where the good views are  and here's my observatory, deep in the jellyshroom cave. sometimes i sits and thinks... and sometimes i just sits

General rule of thumb I've found with getting chairs to work when placing them where a normal human would, is to stand between the chair and let's say desk, then squeeze it in as close as you can before your own hitbox makes it unplacable. Placing it at an angle rather than head on helps as well, and is nice for that lived-in aesthetic.

Rutibex posted:OK, I am a big enough man to admit when I was wrong. The Prawn Suit is loving awesome! It is not nearly as slow as I first thought. I was worried about getting trapped in deep holes, but the jump jets (even without upgrades) are very generous. I can easily navigate really deep trenches, and there are usually lots of ledges to jump on. Its actually faster to gather resources in the Prawn Suit vs the Seamoth. Jumping around is also kind of a more fun gameplay experience than just floating around. The fact that I don't have to get out all the time to pick up resources saves a heck of a lot of time, and the extra cargo space is fantastic. I was also able to punch those stalker fish in the face, which was satisfying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-_53W_nHEk This video really shows how different an experience the Prawn suit is to the Seamoth. Seamoth needs something to make it stand out. > 900M Crush depth, Silent running (or some sort of active camouflage?) x2 Speed or even emergency speed for escaping Leviathans? Hell, even a rearview camera so that Reapers can't sneak up on you would be a bonus.

Still early days on my new save as I've just got the blueprint for the seamoth and about to do the Aurora for loot and blueprints. So far my base is just two corridors with one solar panel. I'm not sure I can even make my base much larger as I haven't picked up any lithium for reinforcing.
