That's sort of why I explained it as a gameplay abstraction of water pressure. Metal tubes underwater don't really have to worry about structural integrity for the most part. But once you build large round rooms full of windows to give yourself a pretty view, you start getting massive dings to the overall integrity. A couple reinforcements like I installed in the video can pay for a lot of windows and observation rooms.

I might have missed it with all the plot--did you make the rebreather in the last episode? Does it just increase your O2 number? I didn't notice a big change like there was with the XL tank, and I was surprised to still hear oxygen warnings in this episode.

DoubleNegative posted:There’s a mod out there that simulates getting the Bends. No, I don’t know why someone would want to play with it active. I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen people in the thread in Games recommending it. Unironically. That can actually be accomplished by opening up the ingame console and using the command "nitrogen" which toggles a longer underwater time but adds the threat of the bends, and can be done even on XB1/PS4, I think. https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands has instructions on how to do that.

The rebreather doesn't add anything to your oxy meter, it just counteracts the increased consumption at depth, iirc.

Without a Rebreather, if you dive below 100 meters, you start spending air even faster. Simply having the Rebreather equipped negates that penalty. Once you've finished fixing the radiation leaks in the Aurora, there's no reason to take the Rebreather off ever again, so you kinda forget about it.

To be more precise, from 0m to 100m depth you use one unit of oxygen per second. 100m to 200m without a rebreather burns 3 units of oxygen per second. And if you go beyond that, you start burning 5 units per second. That fancy O2 tank DN made that gives him 225 seconds of air? At 201m depth it'll only last for 45 seconds. On an unrelated note, O2 tanks are actually tracked individually. If you're running low and happen to have a spare on hand you can swap them out and get some extra air.

On one of my early playthroughs, I had problems with creepvine samples rotting while in the reactor. Is that not a thing anymore? If so, good, it led me to use fish instead. I'm not a complete monster, though.

I suspect that organic things aren't rotting because DN isn't playing on survival mode, either that or it's one of the mods he added, because in the base version food items rot real fast.

I don't think any of my mods affect the rate at which perishables rot. So it's probably just being on Freeform mode.

Same, they went pretty fast in 'normal' mode. To the point that I couldn't be arsed to keep up with refilling it constantly and just started hunting for thermal generator parts instead.

I think creepvine samples are just really inefficient in the bioreactor. They're big and they don't last very long at all. Ordinary small fish last much, much longer. The energy you get for composting things in the bioreactor is based on how much nutrition you get for eating them. Of course, the processed food blocks you find in the Aurora wreck can't be put into the bioreactor; the game says you can only use organic material. Which says everything about Alterra's rations, doesn't it? It's hilarious how much Alterra clearly doesn't give a poo poo. IMJack fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Apr 25, 2020 |

Aside from the pressure/hull integrity mechanic, bases are invincible. It's possible to build a base near some incredibly dangerous creatures and be safe and sound, at least while you're inside. Entering and leaving are a different matter...BisbyWorl posted:On an unrelated note, O2 tanks are actually tracked individually. If you're running low and happen to have a spare on hand you can swap them out and get some extra air. Yep! This is what enables a lot of speedrunning strategies. They are inventory hogs, though.

Sob, that cave is from my goddamn nightmares. It's so cool, but... those loving crabsnakes, the way they MOVE. Gahhhhhhhhh. And I swear they're about the second most-hostile creature in the drat seas in my experience. I don't get how they left you alone so much, they kept hounding me every second I was there.

I always feel kinda bad about hitting small fish with the Seamoth. I do wish there were a way to get those dangling poison things out of the way. I wouldn't feel bad about plowing through them with the Seamoth, but that doesn't do anything useful.

The thermal blade is still important in Freedom because isn't just good for cooking stuff, it also does double damage to most everything, and with how limited your damage options are, that's wonderful. As bad as having the knowledge of what happened to the Aurora come at the expense of the Sunbeam, I found it even more depressing to rush to the island and explore once the timer starts, get to the building and piece together that what happened to the Aurora is about to repeat, to rush back to the lifepod to try and radio them to stay back, and then realize its radio can't send them anything but the automated messages, and being only able to watch in horror as things unfold.

I know bulkheads are an actual thing but I keep thinking you're enlisting a certain Autobot to reinforce the base. I assume we're gonna have to venture into Mr. Happy's territory and the forest near it soon so we can find the moon bay and Cyclops stuff.

pointy corpse posted:Bart is so adorable Honestly I wonder if, had it just been Bart and Marguerite, they'd have done better. They both respect each other, and Marguerite might have been more inclined to work with Bart rather than try to keep taking charge if she weren't constantly butting heads with Paul over who calls the shots.

If anything I did love Marguerite's "gently caress these bullshit monsters  " message when I found it. I'd love to imagine she managed to make a proper sword or something to give them hell and go down swinging. The alternative as experienced by the player is less fun.

When I played this, I went in totally blind, and ended up going to the jellyshroom caves before fixing up aurora or making a rebreather or even a seamoth. Instead, I just made two air tanks and a pump, and laid pipe all the way from the surface to the cave, and into the hab. Because of the depth, I only got like half a minute of time exploring away from the end of the pipe, and then had to wait longer than that to fill my air. I think it took me more than an hour to explore and scan everything in the base. It was fun when I was doing it, but in retrospect, having proper equipment would have made it so much easier.

I'm at a point now where I've seen and done everything the LP has, and poked around to probably 2/3 of the stuff I can reach right now (300m) I'm desperate for Thermal plant pieces, and I'm considering making some tubes that go down 100m at a time, near the Gun Island. I'm still spooked wandering near the super far off stuff: my ocean terror is full effect when I can't see boundaries. Underwater mountain area are by far my biggest wall

I know I had found both islands and gotten massive stockpiles of materials (that I kept in floating lockers) before discovering the Seamoth or even attempting to build a base... I thought you needed one of the large base pieces to build anything!

Switching topics briefly, by far the funniest time capsule I've found was one containing nothing but several bottles of water. Some later game stuff so pardon the block of spoilers: I built the Cyclops so early that left it alone for so long that all the batteries unloaded themselves. And now I'm probably end up doing the same even after installing a nuclear reactor mod because I prefer the Seamoth's mobility (and lasers). It's still just sitting outside my gun island outpost and don't really want to use it just so I can bump into a leviathan once and then have to rebuild everything again.

Underwater mountain area are by far my biggest wall My suggestion would just be to wreck dive like mad. Can't remember where I found the parts of the Thermal on my run but I'm pretty sure there was one of the deeper located wrecks at least. And then you need to go deeper for at least one of the components to build it.

Underwater mountain area are by far my biggest wall I've shown it off before, however briefly, so there's no harm in mentioning it here: if you can't find them in the Jellyshroom Cave, then you can find Thermal Plant parts in the Grand Reef. It's that really deep area I showed off for like 5 seconds in one video with the pretty sphere objects. Just find the floating island and dive straight down, that'll take you right to the Grand Reef. But like I mentioned in yesterday's video, nothing but bad poo poo lives 500m down. So be prepared.

Cooked Auto posted:
If you are at the point in the game where you can build a cyclops, a leviathan aggroing it should elicit less of a feeling of dread about losing it, and more of a feeling of annoyance about how you need to get out and kill it/chase it away. Leviathans stop being dangerous when you make a stasis rifle or a repulsion cannon. The only reason you shouldn't just wipe them all out is that it takes an obscene amount of time to actually kill one, given how you need to stab them like 150 times before they die. Cooked Auto posted:
I do remember where the parts are. If you want the spoilers: Two wrecks in southern Dunes have 3 parts combined. Both are almost straight west from the center of the map, one maybe a kilometer and the other 1500 meters away. There are sand sharks, warpers and reapers about, so prepare to either fight or run. IIRC the parts are on the sand nearby, not in the wrecks themselves, although the wrecks have a lot of useful stuff too. Tuna-Fish fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Apr 29, 2020 |
