Paracelsus posted:This is going to mess with a lot of people, but I suppose that at least now there's a reason to build bioreactors. Not even quite. The starter safe shallows now have solar panel fragments all over, still as the boxes. On the other hand, the door cutting mechanic is completely broken, cut two 'open' but the chunk is lodged in the doorway and you can't enter the room. Also the safe shallows wreck that is supposed to contain the Seamoth fragments doesn't contain anything except desk and chair stuff. Tried going to their forums and it's over capacity... Look at this nonsense...  Edit: Although the lack of a Seamoth is giving me a new appreciation for the Seaglide. I never knew you could harvest resources while still on it, and I have so many batteries that its power usage is a non issue. Anyone find Seamoth fragments?

They still haven't fixed the seamoth, though. It used to be hyper agile, then they hosed it up with some serious mouse lag where the mouse moves the view and the seamoth catches up instead of the mouse moving the seamoth directly.

I was having a bunch of fun with this game a few months ago but the vr patch broke the Seamoth so it lags horribly when turning and I haven't played it since then. Still waiting for them to put a fix out...

giffan posted:That thread quickly turned into a weird steaming pile huh The moon pool doesn't use any power by itself that I remember, but the seamoth uses some power to recharge when you dock it, if that's what you mean. I think it uses maybe 100-150 max? I dunno, haven't played it for a few months.

It would be nice to have a gamemode halfway between survival and creative where you don't have to worry about hunger or water or oxygen but you still have to gather resources and everything. Call it.. Discovery

On the other side is Minecraft, which is living proof you don't need crafting time for a compelling experience. Even most of the mods don't require any time to craft items. Obvious exceptions are pumps and thaumcraft infusion poo poo etc.

The last time I was really playing this game was last year before they made the seamoth change that turned it into a slow laggy monster instead of the zippy underwater fighter jet I had. I honestly don't see myself playing subnautica again unless there's a way to revert to the march 2015 version. Despite the fact that I have 28 hours in it, if I could get a refund, I would. It's basically been developing backwards and is now in no man's sky territory.

 Haven't done this yet but it's tempting. One game I play a lot is Factorio and I love seeing how much the devs and the players care about the game and it keeps getting better with every update. Then I go check out the Subnautica thread after not reading it for months and I just get loving depressed. I just want a chill underwater exploration thing where I can zip around in my fighter plane seamoth. Is it possible to revert to a pre-april 2016 build somehow? (serious question)

Ya know, I take it back. I put a couple hours into it this morning and it's really not that bad... got the Seamoth and it seems sometime in the past year they actually fixed it so there's no rotation lag and it's the zippy fighter plane I remember. And I like the new HUD style. The music is still as good as ever, too. Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard. e. There is a significant amount of pop-in and occasional graphics lag, however.

Why are there two different Prawn suit blueprint progress bars? Got one at 3/4 and another at .. 2/20. They've certainly added quite a bit to the storyline.

Finally got the prawn suit and got the grapple and mining upgrades. It became quickly apparent that I needed a gravsphere for mining, so I deployed one, and ... it's a fish magnet too. This is hilarious. e. and slightly annoying since the fish end up dragging the gravsphere off. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 14:08 on May 16, 2017 |

Section Z posted:EDIT: While I'm at it. Air tanks stack. Whenever you get a hold of the modification station, totally make at least one high capacity tank. Twice the air for slightly higher weight is so worth it. They don't stack anymore.. the only air tank that matters is the one on the equipment grid. I made two high cap ones about 5 minutes into my experimental playthru (where high capacity is craftable with the fabricator) and nope the second one did nothing. A single high cap bumps oxygen to 135 tho, so it's not that big of an issue. And the super synthetic one which needs the mod station is 155 ish.

scuba school sucks posted:I want to see what your reaction is when you first encounter the Mesmer. Can't say I've ever seen a game do that to me before. I've only encountered one of those and after I knifed its face, it ran away. Did the same thing to a warper that ported me out of my seamoth. I'd really like an explosive torpedo upgrade for the seamoth... kill all the bad stuff. 7c Nickel posted:The next patch just drops magnesium entirely so that's at least one thing off your concern list. I swapped to experimental just for this and other QOL changes. Ghost of Starman posted:- Agreement with the general sentiment that the "survival" elements are kind of... a bit much. I wouldn't mind if the rate of hunger/dehydration were, like, halved. As it is, there's a lot of busywork just keeping hydrated and fed, + waiting for the drat fabricator to bleach water and cook fish. This is especially dumb since a bottle of bleach would be enough to purify a few dozen gallons of water minimum. Although, does it even work that way? Bleach seems like the last thing I'd want to use for purifying something drinkable. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 00:53 on May 18, 2017 |

I found the regular mod station just fine in the latest experimental, but I've searched pretty much every single wreck on the surface and the seabase under the safe shallows and can't find the vehicle mod station. Can anyone confirm it's spawning on experimental? It's a bit odd having cyclops/prawn/etc but no mods for them.... prawn is useless without it.

twistedmentat posted:That makes sense, but what does the scanner room do? The scanner room finds stuff. Get the hud upgrade, 2 speed 2 range upgrades, tell it to find sandstone in the safe shallows and after about 5-10 minutes, your hud will be filled with sandstone markers. As the active markers increase, it also bogs down the inventory system / mouse position detection so interacting with lockers and stuff becomes nearly impossible until you gather the stuff and turn the scanner room off. e. meant limestone but anything applies, really.

twistedmentat posted:So broken and not really needed. Huh? The scanner room is awesome and essential for finding some stuff. Just has a minor downside one should be aware of. Also I guess I'm the only person in the thread playing the experimental version. It does away with knife durability so I just use a heated knife for everything. And reinforced dive suit. The extra physical protection is quite useful. A single desalinator thing produces more than enough water especially supplemented with a melon bed or whatever.

Robiben posted:One thing I would say is the grappling hook upgrade is kinda required if you want to really explore. The jumpjets aren't super strong by themselves but you can use grappling hook momentum to get up pretty high and also once you get good with it you can Bionic Commando yourself around pretty quickly. Haha, yeah. If you get the angle right, you can almost 'fly' along like if you were playing Just Cause 2, but underwater.

Invalid Validation posted:Unless it's changed recently your base starts having cracks if you don't give it enough foundation to boost its hull strength. On experimental, I built a pretty large base just using multipurpose rooms with hull reinforcements, zero foundations. Didn't have any problems with flooding. It was only about 20m down, though. I like the look of a base without foundations a lot better...

From some of the dev/player chat on the forums, it seems they're wanting to make it more of a linear story driven game and do away with a lot of the open world exploration stuff. The only reason I bought it in the first place was for the sandbox exploration etc.

It would seem that the 'force wreck to temporarily despawn' bug is still in effect. If you build a scanner room or whatever so it's clipping into a wreck, the wreck just .. vanishes when you finish constructing the room. Hello floating goodies... Also, scanner rooms continue to be hilarious. One goes from "can't find sandstone for anything" to "oh my god the circles are taking over the world". Edit: It looks like 'temporarily' is actually 'permanently'. Tried it on a different wreck with an L-shape, removed it and wreck's still gone. Tried going away from the area and coming back, wreck still gone. I'm almost afraid to try it out on the Aurora and see if I can get it to vanish. Anyone want to check?

Double Punctuation posted:Somebody earlier mentioned that marblemelons were bugged. What, exactly, is the problem with them? I haven't had any problems with them. I have a large planter against a wall in my main multipurpose room and have knifed at least 20 so far in my current game and it's worked as expected. For that matter, the game is remarkably bug free now. Only encountered one bug and that was when I placed two moonpools adjacent, causing a mod station against one wall to get eaten.

On the second save that I started yesterday (because I didn't like the way the first one was going), I found 3 prawn grapple arm pieces in the first wreck under the floating island. The frag rng is loving crazy. Also, in the first save, I found 3 moonpool frags around that first wreck. Second save? Only one.

I'm setting up max range scanners to find the last databoxes I'm missing. What are my power options if there's no solar or thermal available, carry an extra 11 slots for a multipurpose room and bioreactor then feed random fish to it? I wish the scanner had an option to pan the holo up a bit so I can see the underside a bit better... e. holy gently caress. 4 silver nodes (~48 silver ore) clustered around a jellyshroom passage in the grassy plateaus. I think I'm set on that for the rest of the game.. e2. It seems that scanning speed only affects how fast it scans nodes. It will happily detect something 400m away as quickly as 10m. e3. It seems that one can move the seamoth around by swimming into it. Amazing. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Feb 20, 2018 |

TBH, I think that the moon pool is required for a first real base, placing it first since the orientation matters so much. I always want to be exiting the seamoth into my base area, not on the other side or some awkward thing. Even if my base ends up sprawling around the moon pool with endless multipurpose rooms... Also, the multipurpose room is infinitely superior to a passageway. With the passage, you can place maybe 3-4 lockers total? With the mp room, I can place T or U formations of lockers on each diagonal side for 12 to 16 total and still have the doorways free.

PantsBandit posted:Yeah there are a lot of things I REALLY like about Subnautica, but one of its biggest issues is the devs just don't seem to respect the players time. There are way too many gigantic items, and way too many play sessions where you hardly accomplish anything because half of it is just spent managing inventory space and ferrying between spots for resources. <sarcasm> Have you taken a look at the player model? How does he carry anything beyond a couple items, anyway? I think, for hardcore mode, the devs should have gone all out and made it ~true to life~. Seaglide occupies all slots while being carried from where it was constructed and floats in the world where it was last used. The player can carry maybe 2 salvage and swim. Of course, there would be an option to make a sort of bag that one could stuff things in and tow behind them. </sarcasm> Certainly would make it more interesting, though.
