Skippy McPants posted:Why no shield? Haven't found the fragments yet! I don't have sonar yet either which is a bit of a drag. Yeah, I found that out on my way down to LR when I got nipped by one - thought it was a boneshark but checked the aft camera and saw a leviathan receding back into the gloom. Have generally done a good job avoiding them so far this playthrough, not panicking is definitely helping with survivability.

This is pretty cool. I started up with hunger and thirst on, which I would normally skip in a game like this because I'm bad at it, but it's working out ok. I've been experimenting with air pumps and pipes, but the pipes only want to go down a hundred and something meters so all I managed to do was drown myself pretty far inside a deep sea cave. Still working on getting a repair tool, I finally gave up and googled where to find sulfur, and it turns out the source was well known to me and had almost killed me several times already. My mothership's reactor just went critical and exploded, netting me the radiation suit blueprint. I never explored it before it happened, did I miss out on anything particularly cool? I like reefbacks the best so far. Is there seriously a sequel to this coming out next month?

Below zero still has plenty of base building if you want to though right? And you can go deep? Because I like the sub story but care way more about getting upgrades to go deep and then build a dope rear end base. Now do I buy below zero for my PS5 or the bundle for switch... decisions decisions...

I built a base on the rock shelf in the lost river just as you're descending to the lava bit, around 1000m. It was an absolute grind getting it done, the area has warpers that kept killing me and I lost about 3 seamoths by leaving them up at 900 with the leviathans, but I think it's going to be a real useful outpost especially now it has a moonpool (I can just make it in and out before the crush damage gets me). I've not explored beneath yet, waiting on getting the cyclops, but it feels like the next place to go.

One of the reasons I don't pull out the Seaglide for short trips is that every time I bring it up I have to cycle through all the map/light configurations to get the map out of my face.

I found it to be surprisingly useful in Below Zero, there are far more small caves early on that it helps with. In vanilla it's just an annoyance as you say.

Same. I liked it in BZ, but never wanted to touch it in the first one. I think they lowered it a little, and flattened it a touch beyond that in BZ?

If you use the seaglide with swim-charge fins, it will charge the battery faster than it's used up. Which not only means you can pile on a massive airtank and armored dive suit and use it to offset the speed penalty forever, but you can swap batteries on the fly to keep everything charged if you want to.

Ethics_Gradient posted:Lost River question: As a general tip to handling leviathans in the cylcops: If you power down, they'll just gently caress right off after they finish their current attack run. Literally 100% stealth while engines are off. So if you can chill waiting for his patrol to go elsewhere (hard for the lost river), or run past and power down until he gets bored and repair the damage. Feel free to spam decoys, they lose a lot of utility once you get the shield. Just fire them off and keep running. Spoilered since apparently we still have new players coming in?! Nice.

Serious question, why use a lamp when the seaglide has one and is better. BZ has a VERY DISSAPOINTING headlamp it takes the head slot so you can't use it and a rebreather, was so gutted

The seaglide's light is dimmer and lights a smaller area than the flashlight. Usually when I need a flashlight it's for close-in work where the seaglide doesn't offer much benefit.

The seaglide has sonar, which apparently is a rare loving treat and totally optional on giant submarines.

If you don't fix the Aurora, does anything actually happen?Ethics_Gradient posted:Lost River question: Hoof it. If you really really want the extra storage space, you'll want some sonar to go in without lights. As I remember, sonar is in the deep reef wreck and the shield I wanna say is in the bulb zone? Maybe the underwater islands.

The various 'rare' schematics actually have a variety of spawn locations, 2-3 possibilities, fixed on game start. Check the wiki for details if you're missing that last cyclops upgrade, it might be in a wreck you didn't visit last game. Ignoring the Aurora has no negative effects other than skipping its loot and being annoyed by the radiation all game. Serephina fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Apr 11, 2021 |

I swam over there and tried to find a way in, but all I found were a couple random blueprint pieces and then I got attacked by a leviathan. I escaped, and I believe I managed to scan it in the process. No hole in the hull or any obvious way in, so I gave up after a couple minutes and I'm back to trying to get into the cave that murdered me before.

It's not underwater. Go up the left hand side towards the front and there's some wreckage you can climb up onto (you're in the right place if you're getting attacked by the crawler things). You can then clamber up and over towards a way in, but you have to put some fires etc out and you won't get much further without a laser cutter and propulsion cannon

Doing a chill run of Below Zero as I haven't played it since they first went into early access. It strikes me that a major design flaw of Subnautica is the main thing it does, freeform exploration. There are so many things that I want early on because I like to make pretty bases all over the place, but it took me ages to find growbeds and the alien containment. I've gotten one of the story bits done and I still haven't found loving windows. It's super annoying to me that I feel I have to rush through the exploration portion just to do basic stuff.

The question is more about "fixing" the aurora rather than the loot inside of it. Technically you can skip all of the stuff inside if you're ok with never finishing the Prawn. The plot doesn't need a non-radioactive world to conclude!
