I have almost beaten the game (I only have to build the rocket, but I'm cured, the gun is off, and I removed the radioactivity from the crashed core) and I haven't found the alien containment. Where the heck is it!?

Evil Mastermind posted:Thank god for the HUD chip, because otherwise I wouldn't have realized that those random pieces of walls that look like the other random pieces of walls were actually Cyclops fragments! Yeah, the Cyclopse hull fragments just look like a big sheet of black squares a lot of the time. It threw me off for forever.

Section Z posted:You used to start with it. The one bright spot of when they turned the MP room into an unlock is that's the update they made solar panels a default. I went into this game blind and kept trying to attach air hoses to my base from an above-water pump for a while. My logic was 'I need an air source, then I'll add power for a fabricator!' I got frustrated and slapped a solar panel on it after a few tries, and was actually pretty surprised when I could suddenly breathe inside.

Same, it was clunky and awful and I am convinced this thread's love for it is an elaborate prank that I'm just not in on. I never bothered to make the spiderman arms though, which might be part of it.

Lol if anyone didn’t immediately notice the fake space subnautica was going to be awful when they made a big point about ‘your immortal chicken sidekick!’ I was so interested for about 7 seconds into the trailer and I’ve never had my interest in a game drop off so fast.

There are some good mods you should throw on even if it's your first time, just to save some tedium -- Pre-mod mods that help with modding so you can mod your mods - more or less necessary if you're modding. https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1108 https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1104 https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1168 -- mod manager, not necessary but helpful https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/113 https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1163 - add this if you're adding new arms. Visual/etc. - https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/207 - I just like these tabs better? https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/811 - Cyclops HUD visible when not driving. I like how it looks. https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/427 - snap to grid building, 100% optional but i'm a dork https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/538 - lets you rotate the moonpool https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/394 - apparently helps with fps loss due to geysers https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1180 - Bases look better https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/990 - Blueprints look better https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/763 - FAST LOAD https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/362 AMERICAN TEMPERATURES Added stuff, basic, doesn't give you much of if any advantage over the base game - https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/24 - Autocrafting, I literally cannot play without this one anymore and my current SubZero run is harder due to the lack of it. It crafts up to higher materials from lower ones automatically. Also pulls from nearby containers. Some weirdness if you're in base/cyclops even when docked but it's still so much better. https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1198 - craft from containers, I don't know if this one is necessary with the above but I ran with both because I was dumb and didn't realize I had both https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/216 -- uncrafts things, allowing you to get mats back https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1256 - When you break a container it just drops stuff if you didn't unload it, instead of deleting it. https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/51 -- Moonpool uses power to autorepair when docked https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/554 - Dock your cyclops. This can be finnicky - pull slowly up to it and it will take over your controls, just sit and wait for it to park. When you want to undock it'll kinda guide you away a little too. slightly cheaty ones - none of these add a TON except the last one, which I just like instead of building 2 seamoths/prawns to have both types of autocharging or different mods or wahtever https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1174 - seaglide upgrades, cost fairly reasonable resources amounts to go faster with your seaglide https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1183- upgraded battery recipes, costs are reasonable imo https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/131 - scanner module you can use to scan from within your seamoth/prawn https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/365 - Arms for your seamoth, just like the prawn -- unlike most people in the thread, I really disliked the prawn and absolutely loved my seamoth, so this is one of my fav. mods. https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/133 - Repair module so you can repair from inside your seamoth/prawn using its power instead of hopping out to repair. https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/280 - like the Cyclops shield but for the seamoth. https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/142 -- More slots in your vehicles for upgrades and stuff -- can make some BEASTLY seamoth/prawn builds, especially when paired with the above. Still costs the same mats, but it's great if you want to have a fast, grabby, self-healing, shielded seamoth as a late game sports car kinda thing. Anyway that's my big mod post about a several year old game.

I disagree and like the mods. None of them change the core gameplay except ridding yourself of the prawn, which sucks. Edit: I also fully recognize that 27 mods sounds like nothing to me after playing too much Rimworld. Yngwie Mangosteen fucked around with this message at 01:57 on May 5, 2023 |

My father in law just got a switch and he's been playing it, and he's really enjoyed throwing up a one-room base with a couple of lockers in a few different areas. There's really no wrong way to play the game, just explore and have fun.

SlothfulCobra posted:The seamoth lights attract predators, so going around with your lights off is stealthier. I did this down at the deeper Degassi base, in the lower tunnel (not in the jelly shroom cave) and it was nearly dead when I got in it, then I got teleported out of it just in time for it to blow up, leaving me 500 meters beneath the surface in a cave. It was not a fun time.

Vanadium posted:I found the alien containment unit and true to form it was in a place I'd already thoroughly checked. I think I'd have missed it again if not for highlighting interactables. They're easy to miss, because they're inside a thing you've probably seen but did not consider that you should go poke around inside. Also the nature of where they are might make the highlighting interactables not work unless you're inside the thing, even if you could see them. I'm trying to be vague without spoiling, but those things were impossible for me to find until I looked it up.

JawnV6 posted:you turn the lights oN!?!?!? One of the things I loved doing early in subnautica was settling the seamoth above a wreck with the lights on and exploring it at night. Right up until I was mid exploration and the lights suddenly went dark. Thinking I'd run out of battery or something I swam out and was immediately eaten by the same thing my seamoth's lights had attracted.

The above ground parts were fine except that I got lost in the snow plains area with the vents and diggy worm things, because I hated the controls for the hover bike. I fixed my mouse sensitivity on my second play through and it went a lot smoother. Below Zero also had the issue where even the sea truck with a few capsules could just outrun almost every threats so the terror of hearing the underwater roars turned into 'guess I have to double back before I pick up lithium this time'. Also the alien was kind of annoying. still liked the game though, especially the earlier shallow water parts and the floating islands were neat but there needed to be more that you needed to accomplish around there, I basically visited them twice and never again.

I found, at least in my 4ish playthroughs of the base game, and two of BZ that just googling the area the part I want tends to spawn in was enough to find it within an hour of play time. I'd be completely good with something like 'selling' materials to a terminal to unlock pieces of parts though. Ok here's 120 titanium, give me the last goddamn cyclops piece.

Scanning should just be a 360' held pulse and there should be a little icon with the # of unscanned items somewhere out of the way within its aura if you have the scanner out.

SlothfulCobra posted:Eh, I kinda felt like the oxygen plants tended to be too much of a breadcrumb trail, so instead of wandering and exploring organically, you just kinda see the paths offered to you and follow them. Not so much danger when you're just following the beaten bath. I agree with this, I almost wish there was a sliding setting scale that toned those down.
