A reef back somehow spawned by my escape pod and now it's making annoying noises and causing lag. Also there's furniture scattered around floating in mid-air? Anyway this game is extremely hard to pull myself away from.

Met posted:Their roadmap now goes to February... but I'm glad they're pushing it back rather than trying to stick to a schedule they can't finish the game in and pushing out an unfinished product. quote:We give all EA players the Cute Fish item. In game we query whether the player has a Cute Fish item in their Steam inventory and spawn a Cute Fish accordingly. The Cute Fish does not save/load. It just follows the player like a pet in Dota2. lol

Making sure waves don't clip through the floor of the escape pod should be priority #1 IMHO, the game is basically unplayable

Bhodi posted:Not any more you can't, there are now boxes blocking the way. you angle down towards the cargo bay and there are a heap of large boxes (that you can't jump over) that were added, positioned right in front of the door. They were added presumably with the coffee and castles patch. I also saw this when playing the recent patch. Couldn't get into the doorway in the rear of the ship without moving the boxes first. People said I didn't need the prop gun to get in so I thought I was missing another entrance. endlessmonotony posted:Shut the hell up. What's wrong with you? What warranted that?

There's a ton of invisible walls and weird collision boundaries in the back of the Aurora. I honestly never considered jumping around to explore past the very obvious blocked door.

Dongattack posted:Someone that claimed to know what they were talking about said that the Subnautica team were trying to make the Unity engine do a lot more than it was ever designed to do. Which seems plausible to me, Subnautica is a really complex game. Unity games as a whole always seem to have a lot of performance problems so I imagine the purpose of the engine must be for something besides video games

Bhodi posted:When they pull out deformability for good, the world will be be static and they won't have to have terrain data in the save at all and it will shrink to a fraction of what it is now. "Early Access Problems" is another succinct way to put it. None of these problems will be in the final game. The devs seem to have a pretty negative response to criticism and their response to complaints about the save system is particularly stupid. I don't share your confidence that this won't continue to be an issue with the final game, and I highly suspect they're never going to get around to refactoring the code to make the terrain system behave sanely.

Maybe they can go back in time and decide not to use an engine notorious for being such a miserably poor-performing pile of poo poo. "It's a Unity game" is the new "They wrote it in Flash."

my bony fealty posted:I know very little about game engines but it always felt that the problem wasn't Unity itself, rather that Subnautica is trying to do stuff outside the comfortable scope of the engine. The Forest and The Long Dark are both on Unity too and neither of them have the performance problems that Subnautica does, but they're also both a bit more restrained and in TLD's case the world is broken up by loading screens. Dreamfall Chapters isn't trying to do anything particularly impressive and good god does it run like trash. What happened with the Natural Selection 2 engine they nearly bankrupted themselves making?

How badly did I sequence break by looking up the code to the Captain's quarters in the Aurora after I had opened up everything else? I was just being lazy and wanted to avoid having to remember to come back to the Aurora to open one locked door.

EdEddnEddy posted:Outside of Eco location via Sonar underwater, isn't sound underwater nearly directionless otherwise? It's not like you're playing a FPS game above ground where sound works normally and maybe that is the case here? No, it's not directionless at all. It's just less affected by bouncing off of things. I think what makes it tricky in a game like Subnautica is that audio engines (except OpenAL/HRTF) have a really tough time convincing you that a sound is happening above or below you. That's not as big of an issue for games without full 3D movement.

I’m at like 10 hours in and still waiting for the Lifepod 2 signal so I can figure out where to build my base in the goon recommended fashion.

Section Z posted:Unless they shuffled things around. Have you tried building a thermal plant, or entering the DEEP grand reef? Otherwise you will be waiting forever for that particular signal. Nah, I thought the recommendation was to wait to build my real base until I got to Lifepod 2 to save myself a ton of time and hassle so I've just been poking around the sea floor and using my single cylinder and solar panel. Guess I shouldn't have taken that so literally.

John Charity Spring posted:The deeper areas at the edge of the shallows are basically ideal. The area near Pod 17 (and the Jellyshroom Cave entrance there) is also great for a first base. Yeah I've been enjoying the Jellyshroom Cave area. No major predators, lots of good materials around there and once you get power transmitters it's easy to get thermal power going. The whale sounds are endless, though.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Floating lockers I find a lot more useful in earlygame to set up survival stashes by my beacons with water, salted food and maybe batteries. That final quest was awful. By the time I got to it I was fully ready to cruise to the finish, so it took the wind out of my sails and I just completed it as fast as I possibly could. I think it would’ve been better to expand on the idea of incrementally solving puzzles in the alien bases with the things you get on other exploration errands. Wrr posted:Seconding the better inventory management as a desire. I grabbed a mod that allowed the crafting devices to 1) pull resources from nearby storage lockers to build from and 2) build all the intermediate items automatically when I want to build something higher tier. Reeeeeallly makes life much more simple. Doesn't feel like it breaks anything either. This is the only mod I used in my play through and I would recommend everybody use it when starting out.

Salt Fish posted:I think the reason Subnautica is good is because the devs are really self critical and they're able to admit when they've made bad design decisions. Having them rip out the entire story or redo all the above water parts are really positive signs. It's better to be persistent than talented. If you keep redoing parts of the game until they're good then you're going to end up with a good game. the Destiny 1 team did this and it took 2 years to make that thing into a good game the Anthem team also did this and it never became a good game there's admitting your mistakes and there's floundering. fingers crossed what's going on with the new game is more the former.

I didn’t really care about the plot in Subnautica but I did appreciate that it pushed me to explore and the environmental storytelling was great. Love to find wrecks in weird spots with little stories about what happened.
