So as far as I can tell, we so far don't have any reason whatsoever for building the base we have, when the escape pod is so close. Is there something I'm missing?

Re: Fecking crabs:
there's this mod that allows to disable creatures and since the crabs only appear in a couple of places you miss nothing by removing them.

I'm reminded of the mod someone did for Morrowind that removes the cliff racers. And the mod that makes them split into 3 when killed. And the mod that puts them in Skyrim. And...

So what is structural integrity used for? Like, I assume the base might be in danger of attack in more hazardous biomes, but what's it for here?

I've seen a number of people assume Ryley is a male name (here and elsewhere), but it's not gender specific. And I haven't seen any sign that the game assigns a gender to the protagonist otherwise, so I don't think that we can assume that. (Indeed, my suspicion is that it's deliberately not explicit so that players can identify however they would like to.)

The voice clips we hear upon injury sound male to me, but I'm willing to shrug my shoulders and accept whatever.

Very much looking forward to seeing some of these nastier super predators, though. The creature design in this game is great! and fairly horrifying.

Why? It's mostly showing off what Alterra's society is like.

DoubleNegative went through the little plot line in reverse. If you come through the other way, you first see the message from the Prawn bay guy inviting someone to try out the suits. Then you go to his room and see the official advice on how people of means deserve to get everything including in relationships, and if your partner wants to see someone else then you should spend time thinking about how to be richer. Then you see the message with the girl breaking up with her girlfriend, quoting that advice verbatim.

It's a demonstration of the lovely capitalist society of Alterra, along with other bits and pieces like the notification you'll be charged for all the gold and diamonds you used to survive.

Yeah, this was all I really saw it as, too. It's loving awful, and does a great job of expressing how utterly hosed the society is. It almost makes me wonder if we wouldn't be happier just staying here.

Okay, I don't know if it's possible, but I would love to see the Queen Bee do a breach like you can with the smaller vehicles. Like, once from a camera or two and once from inside. I am easily amused.

So what happens if you decide to fight a Ghost with your PRAWN? Is that viable, or suicide?

I'd like to see the rest of the arm attachments for the Prawn, if there are any.

Also, this. The way people are talking, I really want to see this thing in action; video game physics are amazing. I really hope you can ragdoll Reapers.

I noticed something about torpedoes on some vehicles, but nobody's talked about them. Are they just absolutely crappy or something?

Oh jeez, I just realized that there's something else I'd like to see if it's possible, but it would basically be speedrunning the game on a new file. I'd love to see if it's possible to save the Sunbeam by finishing the game before it gets shot out of the sky.

Okay I haven't been tremendously intimidated by the reapers, but that sea dragon is loving terrifying! I love the creature design in this game, it does such a beautiful job of making the things you find weird and, well, alien at the very least, and loving horrifying at the worst.

A screenshot from being stuck halfway into the floor, and the phrase "Watch your step."

Also, a cuddlefish egg, a laser cutter, and some other nice quality of life things. Maybe a cutting from one of the rare plants?

It's impressive that we only knew the Sea Emperor (Empress?) for about 15 minutes of video, and I was really sad to see it die. At least it got to see its babies get born, and know that they were going to be free. :unsmith:

Also, that line about being so small as to see the gaps between grains of sand was really cool. Rest in peace, giant psychic fish friend.
