Can I do this?) And put in the depth upgrade immediately. All this so that I can take the prawn to the ion cube deposit at the final spot, where it will probably glitch out again but I won't care so long as I can get cubes

Joan posted:Why is every seatruck module fragment for the aquarium! Argh The aquarium is a fantastic module early game, as it automatically catches food for you! The other modules are generally deeper down. Game really wants you to get aquarium early, especially since it gets much less useful once you're growing and desalinating your food and water.

Pollyanna posted:I never used thermal reactors nor did I even find nuclear reactors. Bioreactors lasted the entire playthrough, were relatively cheap, and were trivially easy to keep online. I put down two solar panels on my main base at the start and never used them elsewhere. like 4-5 solar panels gives you all the power you could ever reasonably need unless you're going hard on ion cells

I have my base in the lily pads, ended up building a platform as high up as I could, and then running power lasers down to the base. But it still cuts out at night. Nukes solve everything.

Ended up dismantling it (which destroys the rods) just so that I could set up a new one. 4 consecutive tube sections attached to the far corner of by base just to reach it.

IIRC when you get to the end-game area there's a cube or whatever around anyway and the tele stuff let's you get here and there and back pretty easy? You can build a moonpool down there, I remember building one because I wanted a place to chill outside bowsers castle and charge my prawn though wasn't like I was going to really run out of power.

uXs posted:Why would you need to do this? My prawn got glitched in the lava castle area and thinks it's on land. It can't grapple or jump much even with upgrades So I spent an hour going to get the materials I needed, made a new prawn, slapped in the depth module from the old one. Yay! Then put in the other 5 mods I had. They all disappeared Prawn still worked so I scanned for and made drilling arm Took it down to containment facility,got right near the cube deposit, and it glitched again and can't move at all. So i guess I either make a third one or try making a grappling arm to pull it forward a few inches I need 3? 5? (Haven't done the math) ion cubes to open a portal and finish the rocket parts to beat the game I couldn't get dev commands to work on the PS4 , sadly. Maybe I should gently caress with them again. For reference I had 2 cubes, met the emperor, got 1 in her lair, and still need 3 I think mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 23:58 on May 30, 2021 |

Oh right. Yeah, the Prawn in the alien bases is the buggiest poo poo of all time, it always gets stuck. Most of the time you can get it going again with the grappling arm, and/or the jump jet upgrade. Pretty sick that the devs just left it like this, it's the worst.

It's extremely good that the prawn is required to get the drillable ion cube but also the prawn has a 90% chance to somehow get stuck on the perfectly flat terrain after each and every frame it spends in that area

My prawn got stuck in the castle too, except that it somehow got sucked into the wall. I was inside the wall, unmovable, and any extended attempt to move caused me to rocket through and then off the map several thousand kilometers. It took numerous reloads to get the console command to warp to the safe shallows entered before the rocketing happened, because once I started flying through the map the console stopped working.

(Original game) Lost a second Seamoth to it deciding to just clip into the ground while I was away from it. Decided to just reload this time, cause wasted time was easier to bear than wasted resources, especially since I fully upgraded it. On a related note, it's ridiculous how much deep-sea exploration is gated off until you find the Vehicle Upgrade console. My Seamoth went straight from no depth upgrades to a maxed-out one, and now I'm comfortably cruising around at 900m.

The sequel was the opposite, I had higher level depth modules for Prawn and Seamoth built before I even had the plans for either. I wish we could mod in the ship from Outer Wilds, but at that point I'm just wishing for a LandSpaceSubnautica

Yeah I never even made the Vehicle Upgrade console in BZ. I feel like in Subnautica I spent a lot of time searching and teching up but in BZ I had all this poo poo I didn't need to build ever. I never even found the highest tier O2 tank. Never built a prawn suit.

Also that base is actually orange, like my truck, but the area's lighting is overwhelming:  I actually have the whole base perched on a cliff, makes for nice access to the moon pool with my truck:  It's a small base, but it has what I need.

Bad Munki posted:I am currently using this layout, and the reactor is JUST audible from within Control, and completely inaudible from the scanner, the main area, or the moon pool. I built 3 bases in below zero. One is Multi purpose room with a hatch, a fabricator, 3 battery chargers, an upgrade stations and a recycler. The walls contained as many lockers as it could possibly hold. Next to that was my second base. A moon pool attached to a multi purpose room with my plants. The third base was next to delta island, where I built a scanner room to find the sweet materials I am sure were nearby and picked up jack poo poo. I never get the truck storage module or the fabricator module until I already had all of the materials to make the final descent. I never really needed any of that crap.

Ooohh, are we showing off pointless endgame bases? The base I beat the game with was three disconnected rooms; two multipurpose, one moon pool, with a foundation outside for growbed right beside the pod. The base I built for funsies afterwards was this monstrosity... and yes those are support pillars for the bits sticking out over the edge of the cliff:

Finished it. Overall I liked it. I didn't hate the land parts that much but the second time I had the hardest time trying to get to that Tree area again. The actually world felt more realistic than the first. Like there weren't any hard edges around the biomes. Didn't have the same sense of wonder as the first though. For some reason I find the original reaper more scarier than any of the new creatures. After I found the Sea Truck defense system I would chase them down as soon as I saw them. I didn't mind the Sea Truck at all. Went with a Storage Module and Pawn Suit dock for most of the game. Felt good to drive to me.

I got hit by a weird glitch that launched me into the air like a rocket, going 100 miles an hour, and I wasn't sure if I would land out of bounds or in a place that would mess up my progression. So I quit without saving, then realized I had lost an hour during which I went on a major expedition and made huge progress. Now I don't have the will to continue playing, or living
