And remember you can colour-code and name your beacons to make things easier to see.

Flytrap posted:This is a good chill game so far. Playing on the mode without hunger or thirst, just kind gathering stuff up and making boxes to put more stuff in. Slowly picking aprt the gameplay figuring, you know, I'll probably need these 15 boxes full of titanium and lubricant eventually. Should proooolly figure out how to get the plans for basemaking soon though. Wanna spread out before I strip mine everything around the start.

As it happens, the pump in my self-contained liquid cooler died! Looks like I’ve been redlining my cpu for a while now. Replaced the heatsink with a fan unit and now everything is as good as gold.

I would caution against using scanner room camera beacons to signal where your base is. Stalkers enjoy coming from halfway across the map to stral them and then deposit them in some obscure location, usually down in the purple mushroom cave if my last playthrough was any indication.

Really? I built my first one at the edge of the Mushroom Forrest (by the grassy plains, iirc) and would farm stalker teeth nearby and they never bothered the cameras once! Same thing with my base at the Tree Cove Cave, never had an issue. InsertPotPun posted:SO THAT THING JUST GRABS YOUR SUB AND DRAGS YOU AND IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA HUH?? COOL. COOL.

I think there's more up to date maps tho

I had a stalker come down to my base in the jellyshroom caves and steal my camera drone. I figured that if he wanted it that badly he must've needed it more than I did and just made another one.

That was my third "holy poo poo" moment, I went in cold. Seeing the crashed ship, then actually being able to GO TO the ship. drat. And then seeing the alien building for the first time. I legit stopped to stare at it in game. I don't remember the last game that made me do that.

The endgame stuff felt tacked on ultimately in that the Cyclops, the coolest thing in the game, is a loving unwieldy piece of crap that serves mostly as an elevator for the PRAWN suit.

I used the prawn suit for mining those giant clumps of ore, kyanite, and for punching leviathans in the face until they died. Yes it took me 5 minutes to do so, but gently caress those leviathans, gently caress THEM WITH DRILL ARMS IN THE loving FACE TIL THEY DIE THEN THEY CANT BOTHER ME ANYMORE. REVENGE FOR MY SEAMOTH LOADED WITH HARD TO FIND MINERALS AND LOOT YOU JERK!

The Prawn and the spiderman arm made me have a serious paradigm shift to hostile leviathans - specifically I went from 'you must be avoided' to 'Don't you loving dare to come any closer or I'm punching you in the goddamned face." I beat poor Casper to the point where he started actively avoiding me.

Captain Invictus posted:Frame this post Prawn with a grapple arm and four jump jet upgrades is legit one of the funnest things in the game. (i heard they might have been changed to not stack before release? If so this is one of the biggest sins the devs have committed, ever) Note that I mean one grapple arm, and not 2 because.... Well. There's also the matter of the fishcannon bazooka. See, there's no ranged weapons in the game. Unless you notice that the propulsion cannon can load objects from inventory to fire. ... and you can get boomfish breeding once you have their eggs. And if you fling them, they explode on impact.

Haha, not gonna spoil it, but watching all the way to the end is worth it. I did note that the Prawn run omitted the part where it bumps into a small pebble and comes to a complete halt. Doing the spiderman thing is awesome when it all goes smoothly, but the general jankiness and awkward close-in handling are the reasons why I normally run with the Seamoth. Well, that and getting a mod that adds drill and max depth modules for the Seamoth.

Why is it Seamoth vs Prawn? They both have different uses for different locations of the game.

It’s been a long time since I’ve started playing a game, and next I look up it’s 2:30 in the morning. I’m glad I downloaded this, it’s real good. My adrenaline surges so many places while playing; exploding sulfur fish, Sandsharks, Bloodsuckers, every time a big chunk of the Aurora looms up out of the abyss, any time ANYTHING looms up out of the abyss, any time I hear something large grumbling off in the distance, any time I find a new blueprint or chunk of equipment... ...finding the planetary defense cannon structure for the first time by accident...  It took me a while to realize that you didn’t need filtered water to make disinfected water; just bleach! I kept hauling all the way back to Safe Shallows/Kelp forest to go on great bladderfish hunts. I’ve obsessively built tiny replicatored/beaconed bases near a bunch of large wrecks so far. Does the game auto-save? It crashed at the end of the night when I hit save after a ton of progress. e: How do I “fix” the Aurora? It told me to repair holes or build reinforcements when I was in, I couldn’t figure out how to. Sweet posters though!! e2: InsertPotPun posted:SO THAT THING JUST GRABS YOUR SUB AND DRAGS YOU AND IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA HUH?? COOL. COOL. TOTALLY SAW THAT COMING AND DIDN'T PANIC.   WHAT NO WHY THIS SOUNDS BAD AND NOT FUN

It's fun in a genuine sense of exploration way, the world is very organic and you're very much an intruder. The limits of the world aren't super hard and fast, if I was paying attention I could have avoided that. You don't "unlock" new areas so much as find ways to better adapt in existing areas. And spoiler tag your post!
