Post your bases
Is the game worth the price right now? I heard you can complete it within 15 hours
>>739019321more like 6-8, theres not much to explore and the game bombards you with voice logs and icons telling you where to go
>>739019321I wouldn't buy it right now. I pirated, and i'm 15 hrs in with some stuff still to go. Don't know where it ends, but I've reached a red wall before and a message popped up saying area still under development. I think maybe a year from now it might be more polished. The early game is polished though.
>>739019276Interior
He can't get me hehe
>>739019321there is noticeably lots of stuff still missing and you will likely get a better experience out of it if you wait like 2 years before playing thisif you however want to play subnautica with better visuals now, it already does a decent job at that30 bucks seems neither cheap or expensive for EA fotm slop to me
The scary factor is entirely missing.
>>739019276what is in the EULA that everybody is crying about
>>739019276I'll post it later, just keep the thread alive until the full release.
>>739019940I said a long while back that the best way to add tension back to the series would be for the biomes to be unstable. Like, you can start in a safe region, but then it can randomly get hit via a massive storm and suddenly you have leviathans and other creepy shit crawling through that area as their territories and migration or feeding trails are altered.
Eh, my base is pretty ugly, you don't want to see it.
>>739019940The soul factor is entirely missing. Everything looks like shit
how do you guys find/pick a good location to build a base in. This one now and the first game I always felt like I picked a bad spot after I was done building it
>>739019276They look so soulless compared to the old ones.
>>739021578Close to the lava zone if you want to use thermal energy later, but it doesnt really matter you'll be creating a new base when you get to the 2nd zone
>>739020218Good idea. One I had was to have certain predators (even leviathans) that aren't restricted to a particular biome or patrol route, that can perhaps prefer a biome but occasionally roam through any biome, including the shallows. As you pointed out this would keep players tense, as even traversing through familiar waters could mean serious trouble. That's one of the weaknesses of mid-late game, is you've memorized where the dangerous fauna is, making backtracking thru previously visited zones a snoozefest since you know there's no threats in those areas.
>>739021982Do you mean Alien Ruins? I got the quest to go there now after visiting Lava Zone base, but I saw a big fishy in the deep water and noped outta there. Just built a mini solar powered outpost next to the edge of lava zone tho.
>>739019321Its like early release for Subnautica 1. Shallows has shit to do, but the second you leave it becomes barren. No idea how long its going to take for them to fill out the other zones, considering how in the shallows you have shit like a giant fish that likes to ram things, and when he rams coral, a bunch of fish fly out.The shallows feel alive and if it took this long just to make the shallows feel like a real ocean, I can't imagine the rest of the zones timeframe.
>>739019940Just be like me and be a giant pussy.
how the FUCK do I get in here, theres no other entrances and the button don't work
>>739022081Yes, bring all your lithium with you, there is zero over there that I could find
>>739022330damn kk
>>739021982I meant for aesthetics. I also build near thermal sources but it always ends up looking ugly
>have to deconstruct everything within a 5 mile radius of a base part in order to attach a fucking doorbruh
>>739020081
>>739023158YO WTF
>>739023158i don't care man im a normal ass person with nothing remarkable about me
>>739023158>Outrages>Doesn't post EULA>Post Plebbit tranny shit
>>739023809>>739023878
>>739023878You say tranny like it's a bad thing. Most of us here would adore a very sexy feminine penis.
>>739020218They just need rogue carnivore leviathans that rarely appear in shallow water. That way zones are only ever 98% safe.
This game is at least 10x better than Below Zero. I will definitively be buying it when it releases in a few years.
As someone that never played Subnatica because lol no guns, I've still wanted to know what the difference is between 1 and Subzero. And what does 2 do different from those.
The scanner room doesn't work, does it? It only shows floating dots that fuckign do nothing.
>>739019321think of it like a demo.
>>739023158pretty sure every end user license agreement for every major corpo videogame nowadays is basically this to some extent>we can remove your access to the game whenever>anything you create within the game is owned by us>you cannot sue us
i really like the game but holy fuck why does my game randomly crash every like hour, it's so annoying
>>7390245132 isn't very different at all from 1. It's just more of the same desu
>>739024604It's shit, but select the dot and it'll get stuck to your HUD as a signal.
>>739024604lol retard doesn't know how to use the scanner room
>need 3 scans for biomass generator>only 2 at the dead baseSurely they wouldn't have just put two of these here when you need 3 scans, that'd be dumb.
Any way to get a particularly obnoxious fish to stop spawning near my base? Does building close to him make it go away?
>>739019321Yeah. I took my time and finished the existing story in about 25 hours. Still dinking around exploring and finding things I missed.>>739021578First base was right next to the lifepod.Second base was between the starting area and one of the major story areas. I decided to put a base there after travelling past it several times and noticing it had a lot of resources, a power source, and no predators.In Subnautica 1 I just put a new base down in each new area I explored. Worked out well.>>739022324I was just there and there's another entrance on the lower end.>>739024285Yeah I think the existing early access map is already bigger than the Below Zero map, which was tiny. The devs have said on their nolt.io site that they intend for S2 to be bigger and deeper than S1.>>739024604The floating dots are locations relative to the location of the scanner and in the same direction.>>739024513Below Zero has very slightly better graphics than 1, but the map is relatively tiny and super cramped and claustrophobic. It's not nearly as deep, the story is stupid and dumb, the characters are stupid and dumb. S1 has very little surface land parts which just feels like exploration, BZ has a lot of surface land parts with a dumb freezing temperature mechanic.2 has modern graphics, better base building, a new progression mechanic (body upgrades), and it remains to be seen but is supposed to end up with a bigger game world than 1. So far it's all underwater.
All the promo material shows multiple divers. Is it just friendslop now?
>>739019321no
>>739026361why do you only have 5 tool slots?
>>739026585Because I never found the 6th slot and it never felt like something I needed to look for. I'm actually going back looking for it now, and so far found a few other sites I missed before.
>>739024513https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCGXSs2loq4Subnautica 2 has>better base building>better progression >meh sound>meh player mobility>god tier comfy zonesIt's just an alpha though, the devs could turn out retarded.
>>739026895>Subnautica 2 has (stuff)I agree with those points for the most part.The sea truck was not why BZ sucked. For me it was the tiny cramped map, the stupid surface areas, the really stupid story and forced character interaction and dialogue.The sea truck was not great but would have been okay in a much bigger ocean.
https://youtu.be/DeEv5OCq1l0?t=3224
>>739026701it's at like the very first site you find, that's why i was so confused
No thanks. The ocean deserves better than pollution by subhumans. I won't play as the bad guys.
>>739027302>it's at like the very first site you find, that's why i was so confusedI've been to like 4 sites and never found a tool slot. Is it the one with the explosion or the one with the giant shark?
>>739027354>lore is that the mongul empire rose again and Earth is nothign but the mongul people>for some reason blacks still existDEI must be tough to adhere by in the gaming industry, huh? You just add them in and completely ignore your own lore and revoke the game liscense of anyone who calls it out.
How many Biobed upgrades are there? I got to 7 equipment slots but still only have one passive biomod slot.
>>739027302Later when you're supposed to get the bioscanner, I found it way early but didn't think it was collectible so I went right by it. Later I had to read through all the PDA shit to find out what I missed and where it was.
>>739026361AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>739025782gotta explore around and find other fragments. There are always at least double or triple the amount of fragments on the map than you actually need. I must have come across 14 different habitat builder fragments.
>>739019276my base is not buying unfinished game
>>739021578I need a game like beast wars. Foreign planet with environment that makes you die and you get to shoot other survivors.
>>739019276My base
>>739021578I build with expandability in mind>is there enough space to build out>is there enough space to build up>is there enough space for a farm nearby and NOT on my roofsIf the answer is yes, the base goes down there.
>click tool off my toolbar while i have a storage locker open>it vanishes>huh i wonder if this is a bug>do it again to another tool>its gone into the voidWelp, won't be doing that again.
>>739027947subnautica 1 base are not allowed here.
>>739027302>it's at like the very first site you findWell I just found it, and it's in a small out of the way base that is not necessary for the story at all and not in a conspicuous place that I've never visited before. Very easy to miss.Could it be that biobed effects are randomly located each playthrough?
>>739028610no clue, might just be that i got lucky when i explored but i remember it being relatively close to the escape pod because i got it like 2 hours in
>>739019538I wish the default moonpool size was the correct size for a tadpole. Having to adjust the size to get it to fit is not immediately obvious nor explained, and I had to google what the fuck was going on when I couldn't place the tadpole bay. Also they should hammer in the tadpole hardpoints more thoroughly, because I didn't know I could attach a locker onto it until 10 hours into the game.
>>739019321Not really, you should just wait a few years until it's done
>>739019321I am going to wait like a year then buy it when it's in deep discount. I'll buy 3 copies for me and my bros.
>>739028965As much as I like the more modular base creation, I hope they also include the older, fixed size rooms that are already big enough for their purpose for the exact problem you're having.
>>739019538Where do you unlock the ladders for the moonpool? I've played like 25 hours and not found it
Is there a max size to a room or something?
>>739029953Price is going to only go up. Might drop after a few years past the 1.0 release but that's a long ways off.
Is it just me or is the base building in S2 worse than S1?
>>739030243It requires a higher skill level to make things look good.
>>739030243+Small adjustments to make a room exactly as you want+Much more snapping options-Vertical options are much more limited-Default Moonpool size is too small to be functionalThere's a step back, but plenty of steps forward.
>>739028965>I didn't know I could attach a locker onto it until 10 hours into the game.Uhhh what
>>739030167Try scanning ladders in any random lab.
>>739030657You can attach one of those floating storage chests onto a hardpoint on the back of the tadpole.
>>739030169Haven't come across it yet. Later you can build interior walls and interior doors so the room would have to be pretty big for that to make sense.
>>739030657The Tadpole has a Hardpoint on the back of it that lets you attach Tools or the various carry-able equipment like the Portable Locker, Beacon, Work Light, or Portable Oxygen Generator.The Hardpoint is also where the Chassis attaches, but the Recon Chassis has its own Hardpoint so you still have one while the HAUL Chassis has two. If you can't get a Chassis to attach, it's probably because there's already something on the Hardpoint.Word of warning, don't attach the Portable Locker to a disconnected Ray Chassis, physics go fucking nutty and it might take off like a stabbed rat.
>>739019276I think OP is the perfect example of the new base building shortfalls.Everything is pretty much the same. Same height, all just kind of one piece, and just a flat roof.Then there's the first game, first screenshot from google. Varying heights between the multipurpose room, observation room, and moonpools. The moonpoools also have decorative bits on the roof to help add some variation.
>>739030240>Price is going to only go upThis ain't gold, dummy.
>>739019276>find a cool sunlit underwater grotto>build it so no sunlight actually pours into the windowsAttempt/10
>>739019321fuck no this game sucks *farts irl*
The huge alien structures in the second main area are cool and creepy as fuck, but I hope they are the exception and not the rule. Having stuff like that included in every other area will make them feel boring real quickly
>keep clicking things real quick like changing batteries for instance>if I click too fast, it deletes the itemThey need to fix this shit asap.
>>739023158>just flat out accepting you don't own the game just a licensegood little preddit cuck
>>739031284Same. I'm hoping for some huge wild areas that don't even necessarily have any story to them, perhaps they are between story areas or something, but where I can explore and build a base, without alien structure or old human bases cluttering it up.>>739031363Guess I haven't clicked fast enough for that to happen. You can report that kind of thing in-game with the F8 key.
>>739031043>Varying heights between the multipurpose room, observation room, and moonpools.You can still make mutliple height shit, I'm doing it right now.>The moonpoools also have decorative bits on the roof to help add some variation.This is fair, granted this is the first version of Early Access so things are definetly going to change. Back is the EA of Subnautica, everything was just fucking tube bases, and the moonpool was just a square when they finally added it in after people begging for years.
this game is so dogshit Gaylord retardid my cat puked all over the floor
>>739023158The European Parliament ruled all of that moot to EU citizens, by the way, this is only valid in the US.
>>739031418>You can report that kind of thing in-game with the F8 key.I have been. I noticed when I go back to a base to restock batteries of deposit shit, if I have a secondary window open like a storage locker or a battery station, if I click items too fast they sometimes end up in the void. I think I've lost like 10 powercells so far and countless batteries.
>>739019276Did they change to Unreal?i can tell because everything is shiny, but soulless
>>739031284Hopefully there are more Tailings villages or the Axum have more variety, like we've seen their power generation and observation tower, now how about agriculture or residential.
>>739027947>>739019538The difference in interiors is like TNG vs NuTrek>Sub1 bases have nice bright and evenly distributed lighting>Sub2 bases are way darker and overly-shiny, with glaring neon highlightsQuite grim, really.
>>739031043You can do all this with the new base system and more. Random shit on top just for aesthetics is its own category so you can even control the look of the ornamental bullshit. You can custom make cube heights and widths to form whatever sized room you want. Your argument is bemoaning the difference between lincoln logs and clay.
>>739031720Yes it's UE5 now.It's actually not shiny enough. Everything is flat a and dull. I think they forgot to add a specular channel to materials.
>>739021578My friend and I built one at the border of the EA cutoff towards the tree, a big blue biome, ontop of a mesa-like plateu. Lasted us a long time because it has everything you could ever need, and its close to all objectives
>>739031618none of that bullshit is legal in america either retard just because some stupid fag company writes that shit doesnt mean its law or true or enforceable
>>739031639>I think I've lost like 10 powercells so far and countless batteries.Oops
>>739032028Can you change the height? I thought I tried in my playthrough and all I could do was place another one on top.
Never found the oxygen generator.
>>739032451South of the Lifepod, across the giant hole where the start of the game is, in the Tufa Towers region.It's in the giant dead clam along with some Lithium you need to make it.
How plausible it is to mod over SN1 fishes into this game? Can it even be done? Different engine and all?
>>739023158>>739020081>can't stream/make videos without a permission>thousands of Steam's and videos that clearly didn't as Krafton for permission>they take no actionSounds jus as if their lawyers are just overprotective and overdoomsdayprepping In case there is some turbo massive controversy. Otherwise how there are thousands of videos out there that clearly didn't ask for permission?
>>739019276>walking through costco today>male worker asks a female worker if she's Hoyped for subnautica>she says she already started a new save with her husbandI didn't realize this series was so popular with normies
>>739032451>>739032732That thing is so good. I wish I found it earlierThe worklight on the other hand is super niche. It's a brighter better flashlight but that shit ain't worth the hardpoint
>>739032732is there no greeneries in this game? Just a fucking desert under da water?
>>739031284I got the impression that exploring the ruins of Axum civilisation is going to be the backbone of the game so I'd expect to see more ayy shit
>>739031284I'm conflicted. I'd rather have more scattered remains than big megastructure. But in both cases I want that alien technology
>>739032753I can't imagine it'd be that hard for most creatures: all you would do is just import the rigs and copy the behavioral AI from their equivalents. So peepers would just be a reskin of the moonfish and so on.Creatures like the reaper or crabsquids which have unique mechanics would take more time.
>>739032924It's literally water minecraft
>>739033301Good luck replacing the collector with anything from 1, especially the tentacles.
>>739033209>exploring the ruins of Axum civilisation is going to be the backbone of the gameThis is kinda what worries me desu>>739033298I feel the same. As cool as the second area is, I feel like they jumped the gun with all the huge alien shit way too early. Maybe it will be pushed further back in future versions of the game? I sorta hope so.
>finally get tadpole>awesome time to zoom>skimming across the floor with the hand glides is like 3 times fasterMy disappointment is immeasurable.
>>739033513yeah, but the tadpole gives you portable oxygen. You can park it in an area and then zoom around with the hand glides and come back to it when you need oxygen
Is it better or worse than Subnautica 1?
>>739033704It can't be better because its unfinished, but it feels much closer to 1 than Below Zero did. Subnautica 1 was magical on the first run, but once you know where everything is the subsequent runs lose some of that magic. So far 2 is giving me some of the feelings my first 1 playthrough gave me. Below Zero failed to do that.
>remember what the Kharaa did to usuhh... infect Ryley and that's it? why make it personal?
>>739033487I mean I could be wrong, but the whole structure of the powerplant section is setting the player to explore more of Axum civilisation. The player has their eyes and ability to read their language, and the final section of current content is about their history and cosmology. It would be bizarre to just drop that thread.I also wish it was introduced later as the player isn't given much breathing room to process that there's another alien civ before then being hit with the powerplant megastructure and the reveal that they're a fallen race.
>>739033948I think they're more setting them up as people who actually know what the fuck is going on, because seeing that there's two viruses and one is attempting to kill another and how that ties to the world tree is probably going to be where all the mystery liesBut they're still running a parallel story to what happened to our ship and how did the aliens get wiped out if they knew what was going on.
With all the stuff about how the tree is emitting some sort of mind control virus to make the entire planet into itself, i hope when we get to the tree we see something like half rotten leviathans slowly being assimilated to the tree
>>739032732Thanks. I missed it the first time I went through the clam. Found the lithium though.>>739033073Never felt like I needed the worklight. Never even built the handheld flashlight. The tadpole light has always been plenty.>>739033209>>739033298Ruins are cool and all but too many times there are ruins blocking me from building a base in the best spot. They should at least let us disassemble smaller ruins / old buildings to get them out of the way.Pic related: I like the dark undersea look but that's only at night. I haven't yet found a spot that is permanently dark except for the original crash area.I'd like it if they let us "paint" on rust and grime.
>>739034502I'm not even sure the tree is normally supposed to do that and the logs we find on the early days show the relationship the colonists have with the virus being more symbiotic. The second virus is the one that's taking everything over and so far we don't have a name or function for it beyond the "bloom"
>>739034678well I'm fine with it being a safe shallows tier biome, at least it's something new since the polar opposite of the Aurora, I just hope they at least make it a bitch to reach by making the biomes around it stupidly hostile if that's the case.
>>739034584Yeah, I didn't find the Oxygen Generator until after I was finished with the main story. Was too spooked by the Collector to make the trip back to the Shallows after making my way past him the first time. Got all my Bioscans and made it up to 7 equipment slots having found one more Biobed that was extra hidden.>>739034678I think it's a bit like The Markers from Dead Space. The Axum want to restore the tree because that's where their people are, under it, but it's dying because of some infection. Their directive to restore the tree is manifesting as Masefield Syndrome and driving them crazy. It's actually a bit more Metro's Dark Ones, but I wanted to hide the fact I think the Tree is good not bad.
>>739035080>7 equipment slotsGuess I have to keep exploring.
Do these Angel Bloom markers stay forever? Its messing with my autism.
>>739035219You can turn off individual HUD markers in the PDA screen.
>>739019538This would be an improvement if not for the mirror finish on the ceiling.
Lithium is inside a giant monsters brain that stares at you and gets upset when you break its nerve endings.Not as scary as I expected it to be, I think the fact that it cannot kills you kinda ruins the suspense.
>>739035703>it cannot kills youIt can't?It nearly destroyed my ship, I kind of assumed it'd destroy me if I was naked in there
>>739032732didnt play the first game, was the map this rail-roady?
>>739036187Lolno. You have to remember this is the first Early Access release. I'm guessing each major update will add another "petal" of content to the map.
is this game satisfying if you just like making neat bases
>>739036365It could use more base building pieces but it's not bad.
>>739036365It's a very strong start. If you have giga basebuild autism like in Abiotic Factor or Valheim then you'll feel at home here.
>>739022007I mean the real weakness that the entire series had including this one is that you can cheese leviathans just by hugging terrain. Nothing feels threatening if it can't touch you. BZ was even worse because you child just point defence the levitation before it could even deal damage so you just freely went wherever you wanted without any shread of danger.
>>739036267what's that 2 giant purple turds? Blood Kelp?
>>739036123I hit the nerve endings like twice and all it did was stare at me, granted I didn't bring my ship in.
>>739019749bro is seething
How the fuck is a water filled planet so devoid of plant life? Literally everything is just fish and fungi?
>>739036916There are little plants and grass everywhere.I hope they add a more lush biome though with big seaweed or something like before. It would be a good spot for an ambush predator to hide.
>>739019276>early access game
Have they been patching and working on Below Zero since launch? is it a better game now than when it released or is it mostly the same? I never beat it and was thinking of trying it again. it's 7 bucks on steam
>watch one of those aubnautica youtubera who have been posting subnautica shorts for like 10 years and somehow get millions of views each video>starts the game and bum rushes everything, doesn't even build a base>completes the game in like 2 hours>obviously prewatched the game so he could do it fastWhy would you ruin your enjoyment like that?
Wheres the repack?
>>739033812So if I don't remember much any details of my one and only playthrough of from years ago, I'd be better off replaying it instead?
>>739037939either that or your viewers relentlessly facepalming and shitting on you for not doing something obvious and leaving for wasting their time wandering like a headless chicken.
>you're supposed to click the biobeds in all those little basesI THOUGHT THEY SAVED YOU THERE, IT DIDNT TELL ME IT GIVES YOU PERMA UPGRADES WTF NOW I GOTTA GO FIND THEM ALL AGAIN.THAT MAKES NO SENSE, WHY WOULD A SAVE POINT BUILDING GIVE YOU UPGRADES.
>>739038346One of them does
>>739036568>Abiotic Factor or Valheimhonestly I think what I like most about subnautica are the vehicles letting you extend the life of a tripAbiotic factor's vehicles mostly suck ass after the early game
So they haven't added biomods in yet? You just get what you start with?
>>739038184Yeah, probably
>>739038346I did the exact same thing. Finished the story with a tiny inventory and only 5 tool slots. Oh well. I'll replay the game from the beginning in a couple years when its finished.
So what are the two viruses and which am I meant to cheer for?
>>739039661just got released cunt
>>739039661Play more
What did you say to the ghost?
>Gender: W
>>739019276Is the game full of DEI like arctic expansion or did they tone it down a lot?
>>739040341Protagonist doesn't talk, your computer AI boss doesn't care for the previous colonists other than the fact they all fucked up and died. The PDA logs are fucking yap city but there's nothing egregious (yet).
>>739040341Haven't seen any DEI / woke yet. Only bit of sexual stuff at all was two women talking about milking a fungus.
>>739040341the DEI is you, the obsessed culture war faggot playing or asking questions about the game
>>739040341>>739040501>>739040775The idea of playing a game and enjoying it but being constantly on alert and looking for "DEI" or "woke" stuff so you can throw your hands up, twist up your face into a screw, go UGH, IS THAT A FUCKING WOKE? and then actively decide to stop having fun is so fucking funny to me it's unreal.YSKYSN.
This is my ugly ass base.It's kinda sad that there's no point to having a big base.
I'm not sure what happened here but it was the scariest moment in the game yet
What does Subnautica 2 do that Subnautica 1 cant?Like what are the improvements?
>>739043965The base building is better. But that's about it so far.
I don't understand how this piece of shit of a game has so many sales. It is just reddit norman with too much disposable income trying to fit in?
How long did it take for sub1 to become a full game? I only played it years after it came out which I assume meant I experienced a complete product from the start. Curious how much time I should wait before getting sub2
>>739043965speaking of EA, SN1 had like 30 minutes of content so SN2 clears this part no contestwe need to wait for more stuff to come out but right now, the base building is 100x better, graphics are amazing, sound design is really good, fish behavior, controls, tadpole is seamoth but better, everything just feels like an improvement but from small QoL to bigger things like I wrote aboveat the end of the day>What does Subnautica 2 do that Subnautica 1 cant?you cant really answer this question fully until SN2 comes out of EA
>>739044151>tadpole is seamoth but betterDebatable. It certainly doesn't sound better.
>>739043813>men really live like this and see no issueYou could add decorations to it if you wanted. There are lots of decorative things you can build on the inside and outside. There are also interior walls and doors.>>739043902Heard of that bug, hasn't happened to me yet.>>739043965New graphics, new content.>>739044017It's only $30.
Well, that didn't take long.
>>739045281is it even an hour long?
>>739045875I guess? I feel like it was just a bit inflated because it takes so long to get from one area to another to gather what you need to build the next thingamabob that you need to gather the next thing, etc.
>>739045993>>739045281type of shit you hear from people who played the game for 3 fucking days straight
>>739046241That's two days of playing.When you usually other play games for several hundreds of hours, 20 hours isn't a lot.
>>739044020subnautica 1 and below zero were both in early access for 3-4 years. expect subnautica 2 to be even longer.
what's up with random deaths? happened twice already
how do I kill fish?
>>739046830you can't
>>739046868what? you could in Subnautica 1
>>739047034yea but now you can't
>>739046830>>739047034Go play another game, chud.
>>739047064Fish are friends.
>>739046830you can cook it alive.
this game isnt even remotely finishedearly access slop
>>739047131>this game isnt even remotely finishedIt can readCongrats!
>lategame locations are FAR instead of DEEP>also hidden behind nigger squid zone
>>739047064the overcorrection came after krafton pushed them to include more actual weapons and hunting/killing into the core game loop.removing all that is their middle finger all the drama
>>739047064..good grief
>>739047242To be fair it's somewhat deserved. Additionally, the lack of weapon does increase the tension when you are surrounded by hostile enemies. Frankly, even that is a bit light at the moment, you should have a lot more stuff roaming around looking to murder you when you move outside of the starting coral shallows.
>>739047191it's fine, we already did le deep in one, now it's time for le vast
>>739047542you should also have more equipments to prevent you from geting mauled too realistically
Close to starting area.Close to water current for turbine power.Above a cave with enough copper.Side of a cliff to have enough room under moonpool.Not pictured: nice view from my windows.
>>739051226Well, piloting the tadpole already prevents anything smaller than the red mango nimblers from attacking. Quite frankly it's already fairly OP and therefore boring.
I thought we all agreed not to buy Subnautica 2 because it's woke?
>>739051465I pirated it.
>>739047167it took them the same amount of time subnautica 1 took to complete to release unfinished junk. SAD!
Is this game any different than the first, or is "more of the same but slightly prettier"?
>>739041382Same goes for meltdowns when some tranny got his AI paranoia triggered
>>739051660Subnautica 1 didn't have real legal troubles plauging it's development. Retard!
>>739019276>Sunbautica 2 >75% more negroNo thanks.
>>739052113>75% more negro>look inside>can now be a white male or cutie asian female instead of being stuck as mystery meat retarded haircut dudeHmmmmm...
>>739051965>i shill for free saar
>>739052271>Rajeesh gets called retarded and throws a meltylol
>>739041382The point of contention with woke shit is that you aren't "constantly on alert and looking for" shit, it just jumps out at you so you can't ignore it. It's a problem because it's completely immersion breaking because you can feel the hands of devs behind it and it doesn't feel natural or organic.
Do you think there will be more actual threats as time goes? Currently most of the hostile creatures feel more like a mild annoyance, especially once you get the tadpoleEven the big tentacle squid/octopus takes a couple of hits to destroy the tadpoleHaven't felt all that afraid of dying yet
>>739052548They said there'd be an even bigger threat. Netwise damage has increased per biome but I hope it reaches the point where it matters
>YOU'RE HAVING A MELTY!!!>is replying to every post 0 dollars an hour
>you're replying to every posthe types as he replies to every postlolLast one, by the way.
they need to tweak the big gathering quest later going back and forth in the slow tadpole and making the 30 ingots, which requires the big transport, which is even slower, is VERY tedious.but i've enjoyed it a lot, lots of QOL upgrades like crafting from nearby storage, not having to hold everything.
>>739051395goddamn this water is murky as fuck.
>>739054043It's full of heavy metals slowly killing you despite the reprintings and viruses trying to mind control you into genociding every other colonist to become fertilizer for the giant coral tree you see in the distance.
>>739054547only one virus is doing that. The other one is trying to kill the virus that is doing that. Also the colonist that's genociding the other colonists is completely lucid
>>739047064>no way to kill fish>no way to even stop them from being aggressive aside from the shitty flares that don't work half the timeso i guess one of my bases is just going to permanently have a giant shark next to its entrance that i have to run away from every time i leave huh
>>739054691>no way to even stop them from being aggressiveThere's a handful of ways
>>739055025>you can only have 1 passive mod at a timewhat the fuck lmao
>No guns>Come up with a massacre in universe to justify it>Which makes no sense for survival pods since...they are made to help you survive and some things aint gonna stop trying to kill you because you have a shiny knife pointed at emThey could have easily just said that the big company wont allow firearms because it might hurt potential assets you can collect from the planet or whatever. Really sell how much of an asshole it is.
>>739055634>lib devs who use jeets to code and sell your data to chinks think they have any high ground in environmental topicsjej
>>739055634I'm pretty sure if you give these unhappy wageslave pioneers weapons they might just cut off Alterra and form their own empire after colonizing a planet.
>>739056402Dunno, they seem to be able to jailbreak their biobeds quite easily
I wanted to make a base as deep as possible but around the alien base there's 0 fish for food and lots of materials missingIs there any way to filter water and craft food passively like the first game?
>>739059175no
>>739021578I always make a small ugly practical base and spend time searching for a neat location later. I've build four temp bases and two finals one. I ended up linking the two zones' power so it shares 200+power.
>>739021578i build one in the lava area and one next to the alien ruins. honestly the alien ruins one is the only one i used since every resource in the game is right next to it.
>>739024047feminine penis - goodtranny - baddon't get it twisted
if i like this game but am dissatisfied with the lack of content, will i like the first one more? or will it feel like a step back in terms of gameplay?
>>739027947Subnautica 1 bases are so much cozier than Subnautica 2 bases.
>>739020081Redditors being virtue signaling faggots, as usual. Ignore and mock any plebbitor trying to pearl clutch
>>739062340gameplay wise there is some decent qol content to subnautica 2, in my opinion i love subnautica 1 way too much, if you enjoyed subnautica 2 you will probably enjoy subnautica 1, and its currently a better game than 2. exploration and everything feels way better there.
>>739040775There's nothing overtly woke really, it's just full of terrible millennial writing. Every single audio log is some twenty-something year old woman yapping about how much she heckin' loves science
>>739046868Lol, iirc it was a fast way to cook a meal by using laser knife
>>739062340Absolutely everything is better in subnautica 1 except: graphics, building, guidance.
>>739062883i'm not playing your game sorry
Is it me or are the fish designs worse than the previous games?
>>739064038its a different planet, its different, i would not say its worse, its just different
am i the only one ignoring all the yapping in this game? less is more - all the voice messages are annoying.
>>739064283the millennial writing sucks, yeah its way worse than subnautica 1 sadly, to be honest i really enjoyed 1 lore, subnautica 2 lore seems interesting but in the voice logs theres only females and they talk too much, like every voice log they talk for like 1 2 minutes, which is absurd in my opinion
This is possibly the one game that'd gain a lot from telling its story the shitty way fromsoft does, but instead it chooses to have over an hour of blabbing that you can't even hear or focus on amidst the random fish groaning and the PDA talking over it
>>739064460idk why they didn't do the same shit they did in subnautica 1, it tries to be, but its too much yapping
>>739032854Bullshit laws (or in this case, TOS) that are meant to be broken go hand in hand with selective enforcement. These exists so they have the pretext to fuck with whoever they want, whenever they want, not to fuck with everyone who breaks something that inevitably everyone will break.
>>739064283>>739064379>>739064460>>739064549take you meds, you autism retards
>>739065054look if you accept the shitty writing thats fine but the way they talk is mildly annoying.
>>739040341I'll give a few examples. Some spoilered for people who don't wanna get spoilered even though the story just breaks near mid game like they assembeled the PDA files wrong.-Lore wise the Earth was taken over again by the Mongolians, thats why everyone was Mongolian. Except you can make a black character for some reason.-Some of the data logs follow some girl who splintered off from the colony because eating fish was wrong and she wanted everyone to go vegan but refused. She then murdered everyone by setting off a bomb and took off with her gay lover to milk fungus in a cave after murdering 25~ people because they refused to be vegan. Granted this could all be the tree viruses doing making her vegan and gay, but thats a whole other issue.-Doctor character logs you encounter is black and French, because of course she is, and she is always right about everything and acts like a Martyr willing to die for being right, which she does.I kinda forgot the rest of the story because at one point I started skipping shit once logs were blank or it was a literal paragraph of text with 1 voiceline that didn't match at all.
Should I play the first Subnautica?
>>739066184yeah its better
>>739066184yep it's a lot of fun and has more content. it's missing some qol stuff (can be fixed with mods) but still worth it.
>>739066184Obviously
>finally build tadpole after 10 hours cause i'm a slow loser>cant bump into fish and splat em like in the first gameSOULLESS GAME
Do I insta die if the carnivorous plant chomps me?
>>739067689there is a carnivorous plant?
>>739066184Yes, it's a comfy exploration game and back then the devs actually left you alone to immerse yourselfSub Zero and 2 both have commentators telling you what to think all the time
>>739019276I'm not much for subnautica but I was gonna try it, but that EULA scared me off. I don't want my videos and streams of the game to be owned by some random company.
>>739067689I survived it.
anyone ran into similar issues?
>>739069007No, I pirateded ited
>>739068185good thing you can play games without recording
>>739064283>do something for 3 minutes>RETURN TO THE POD, THERE IS A NEW ALERT>do something for 5 minutes>RETURN TO THE POD, THERE IS A NEW ALERT
>>739047064Not even a shitty knife that takes 10 swipes to kill a smaller predator fish like in 1?
>>739026361>introduce land sections in Below Zero>make surface vehicle>it's a hoverbike>it can't hover over waterWhy are the devs like this?
I hate fish
FOV sliders soon
>>739019940The story itself eviscerates it. You literally can’t die, who fares if a Leviathan eats you you’ll just survive. They made a survival crafting game where it doesn’t matter if you survive. Fucking gay.
>>739069842>dev encourages players to mod in features until they can be added officiallyalways nice to see
>>739069148Well that's what I mean, I have no attachment to the game and would only be trying it for content. If I'm playing games on my own time there's at least 10 or 20 other games in my library I'd rather be playing.
>>739020218This is EXACTLY what I thought, weather would have been a real improvement. Imagine some kind of storm that swirls around biomes and creatures, or quakes that release hot gases, creepy crawlies, etc. from the deep. I wish these dumbasses realized we don’t give two shits about their mystery meat NPCs and their gay fucking story and just make a game where we actually feel like we’re the only person alive and our survival is entirely in our own hands. As it stands I feel like a retarded errand boy for a calculator waxing endlessly about how quirky my diverse crewmates were.
traveling leviathans would make everything scarier and less game-y
>>739069935That just makes it easier for the devs to steal the mods and implement them. Classic dev move of being lazy and letting the players do it.
>>739027947god its so much better
I'm about to fire this up but my spider sense tells me it's going to be aids. If I don't like it, is below zero decent?
odd request, but, how does the water looks? (animations, physics, interactions...)
>>739070931underwater looks greatcaustics effects tooit's missing snell's effect when looking upsome zones are EA which means it lacks atmospheric effects (it's too clean and transparent)
started sub 1 after you guys recommended it, it's kind of crazy how much faster you move and how much longer you can stay underwateri get 2 has a lot of work to get done on it but it's kind of crazy how it feels a little bit of a step back from just these couple of hours in bothi think it's because they're designing 2 around co-op and it makes the single player experience mediocre
>>739037752It's not even worth pirating to be perfectly desu with you. I'm playing it right now. There was a point where I went "well, there isn't THAT much yapping, anons kind of overstate-" followed by another marvel quip-filled shitfest of a conversation starting.
>>739071105i need to go back and replay 1, i remember it being significantly scarer
>>739071218scarier*
>can inhale air bladders rather than using them to ascend>they automatically refill when you surface>oh, I'll just make like 6 air bladders so I have 150 oxygen banked>inhaling the oxygen doesn't replace the depleted bladder with a new one>surfacing only refills the bladder you're holdingThis is annoying as fuckYou can at least refill them quickly by hotkeying the empty ones, but inhaling them is slow and clunky
>>739071579You can just use a second air tank, speedrunners do that.
>find antennas>oh boy this is surely the next step to progress>theyre purly decorationalwtf
does the game have a public developer trello or something similar? sub1 and below zero had one iirc>>739071218the sound and creature designs are better in sub1 (as of now), it also doesn't help that this game only has a single hostile leviathan (not counting the void ones since you have to intentionally go out of your way to find them)
>>739071686Interdasting...
>>739071698generally the progress is talking to the ai and following the signals it gives you
>>739071860>Same structure quest structure as every open world slopTrash game then.
>>739070931there's no real physics or interaction, you just move slower than you would outside
Where do you get the multipurpose room? Right now I only have hallways for my base

>>739037752It's the sameit's fine if you just want an extension to sn1 with more locations to explorethe story is dogshit thoughand a big part is on ground and sucksworse than sn1 in every way but still better than a lot of games, and still unique
>>739072021pretty much, I'm sure you could do it without the help since really you just need to go to crash sites, etc.
>>739021578I made mine 100m away from camp one on the surface below that giant cliff. Works well enough
>>739072101guess it was the big squid?
>stalkers being a little shit in subnautica 1>you could kill them with your knife, even if it took long>fish being annoying cunts in subnautica 2>you can't kill them with the multitoolWhy do these devs want me to be fucked over by wildlife? Give me a fucking speargun PLEASE

>>739072279you EVIL chud... how DARE you want violence...
>>739059175You can mulch plant fiber into water and make nutrient blocks or rations for food once you unlock the farms. That's as good as it's gonna get this early in.
>>739019940could've easily gone down a body horror route with the 3D printing people, the new infection, the adaptations etc. sadly devs are cowards.
>>739073090was your character 3d printed after death in the original?
>>739019538crocodile alligator
>>739073472no but he might as well be, you just respawned in your base liek you do now in biobeds, they just added a lore reason
>>739072279the fact that you cant even ram fish with your vehicles anymore sucksramming a tiny fish with my seamoth used to bring me joy
>Get down into the hot caves>find all the logs and the thermal plant blueprints>logs keep saying they went down from where they are and died>run around>there is no down>only a tree root at a dead endAm I fucking retarded?

>>739023158Cool, that's why I pirated it. I won't pay for a game that uses AI anyway.

>>739019276How the fuck do you actually use the scanner? Yeah you get dots on the thing, but that's kind of usless. It gives you a direction and that's it.
>>739074050miserable faggot
>>739074140I found my first silver in a cave near where the giant clam thing is
>>739056402>>739056964>>739055634It makes 0 fucking sense because the kharaa wiped out pretty much all life in the known universe (I don't know how considering the Sea Dragon Emperor babbies can make the slime necessary to cure it, plus the plants in the arctic biome can also cure it) but the idea of not giving guns to colonists to defend the last few humans alive is retarded. Good thing I didn't pay a cent, nor will I.
>>739073823yeah
>>739020218Great idea but they will never do it because it'd filter the plebs and the plebs need super safe zones and braindead AI

>>739074914>No you don't understand its fine if the game is only 20% complete!>We'll just pay them to finish it in a few years :)
>>739074968that UI is not intuitive
>>739023158>not allowed to stream the gameHonestly based as fuck. More developers should go after streamers. Streamers are parasites.
>>739075003Well...yeah. That's what happens with SN1 and it worked fine. Also what happened to factorio and other great games.Just because you got burnt buying some porn game early access patreon like a retard doesnt mean all EA is bad.
>>739074034>expecting me to post when the PDA doesnt even save half the shit you pick upIt was in a broken ship wreck on the way to the tadpole pools. Inside was a cat poster, a rebreather, and a biobed upgrade.

>>739021578Best base location is east of the alien ruins, esentially right where the alien ruin base is located.It's centralized and closest to all resources in the game
>>739019276
>>739075751i was told there's no verticality
>>739020218isn't this what they said they were going to do?
>>739075849You get a ladder early.
>>739075695Watch it be a grappling hook instead of a FishFucker 9000
>>739075427Na, I played BG3 in early access, easily 30 hours of content
>>739075942Wish they'd add some stairs. Ladders always feel immersion breaking in games for me for some reason.
>>739075695God I fucking NEED to kill some fish
>>739069007If you hate the EULA so much then show your hatred for it by pirating the game; Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
i think they stole the plot from nine sols, at the end of the finished game you're going to be able to choose between destroying the world tree to make the planet habitable for humans (sophie) and healing it to give the trailings a second chance (nahema)
>>739076810yeah theres obviously gonna be a choice between the two flawless girlbossesthe only true antagonist with be the AI, thats why it has a male voice
>>739032732Wow I just got to the alien ruins and had never even explored that clam area...
>>739076224Doesn't help that they teleport you up floors
>>739070108They realise. They do it intentionally.
>>739072398Mod killing into the game.
>>739076810>to make the planet habitable for humansIf you destroy the world tree that planet isn't going to be habitable for anybody. In no uncertain terms, the alien logs states that the tree is what provides the planet with life to begin with.It's the virus(es) that are fucking things up. The world tree is what made the angel cones (in response to the pleas of our early colonists) that enabled us to even eat to begin with. \Most of the bad shit in the game is by the bad virus.
>>739074795>>739075248You are talking to indian astroturfers. Its pointless. This is 4 years of their work, which makes it even more hilarious, as they 100% used AI asset flipping and copying the red plague fanmod. The whole shitshow gets even better now that its outed as a chink dataminer.

>>739077617They actually got a little better with that in this one, your character actually travels up and down rather than zapping up a storey like in the last couple of games
my base sux because i played through the whole EA and missed a bunch of blueprints somehowdidn't even find the growbeds
>charging station only charges 1 battery at a timeits like the year 56000 for fucks sake

>>739080148Its the weekend faggot.
>>739080059it charges them so fast it doesnt matter
>>739078454wu is wrong, masefield comes from the tree strain of proteavirus. the game tells you this explicitly
>>739046372>pay $15 to see a movie>movie is 90 minutes>entertainment cost: $10/hr>pay $30 for a video game>play for 20 hours>entertainment cost: $1.50/hr>still complains about it on a defunct mongolian debt slave imageboard
>>739080441I'm more annoyed by UI/UX side of things desu. In Subnautica you could tell how many of them are slotted and at what percent charge at a glance.
>install my one battery to activate random noa>useless lore dump>can't take the batter backawesome
>>739080668look at the biostation, it's not useless
>>739080564It comes from the tree and everything evolved around it including the aliens who put the tree there. This part is true. The game even likens it (and the aliens) to wasps and their symbiotic relationship. But, there IS flat out another form of the virus and this one is outright malevolent. The bad virus is explicitly why the aliens are all dead and why everybody wants to swim towards the tree or go deep and die.
>subnautica 1 building items/bases doesn't auto recognize all the items in your storage so you have to carry it on youman this fucking sucks
>>739069935how can you feel good about that? The dev is a literal STINKING JEET piece of shit who wanks off to CP. He should be publicly slapped with a a salmon.
>>739047064YOU LET ME STAB FISH GAS FISH AND PUNCH FISH TO DEATH WITH A MECH SUIT IN THE FIRST GAME YOU FUCKING BLEEDING HEART EUNUCHSLET ME KILL THE FAGGOT SHARKS THAT WON'T LEAVE ME ALONEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>739080441I guess one of my batteries is busted or something, i've been waiting 5 minutes and this one refuses to charge. Games been pretty buggy for me where items just vanish from my inventory or I consume some water/food and it still exists, but if I drop it it becomes a permanent ground setpiece that can never be picked up again.
>>739081268it's one of the most downloaded mod in sn1and the reason it was added to sn2

>>739081310Throw a flare you dummy
>you can't build in this area: it is still under constructionFUCK YOU I DONT CARE LET ME BUILD DEEPER
>>739080813the aliens are dead because the bloom virus is fucking with the trees, yes, but the original virus is also what is making everyone feed themselves to the tree. that first angel comb anita fed herself to and the rockbore zip and the others fed themselves to were not bloom-infected.
>>739081398>aliens are allowed to have weapons but we arentfucking bullshit

>human race was wiped out because the guy you play in the first Ryley discovered all the tech you use to respawn and it alerted the other aliens arch enemy the Kharaa who released the bacteria that wiped out the previous civilization, and now they're roaming the universe wiping out humans cause Earth is already goneWhen the fuck did this turn into Dead Space.
>>739081352oh the game has mod support? is it steam workshop?
>>739081310being able to punch every leviathan to death with the prawn suit ruined the atmosphere of subnautica 1 and you cannot argue with me on this. if you disagree you are a gay retard who should fuck off and play a different game
>>739082051nexus
>>739019538more downgrades from the first game... so fucking sick of these incompetent DEI studios that can't even duplicate what existed before
>>739019276Sneednautica
>>739082061Taking away the player's options because you don't like the way people play your game is turbo gay, anon. Killing faggot Reaper and Ghost Leviathans by hooking onto them and drilling holes into their skulls after they've spent most of the game tormenting you was fun.
>>739082481B-But think of the ecosystem (that's trying to kill you) ;__;
i just realized subnautica gives me the same feeling i had when i played the first red faction and i exploded holes through rock in the early game
>>739082481No no you don't understand we can not ever have the player enjoy themselves. They will pick shit up off the floor to build bases and that is it. You already built a base it already has the limited number of things you need to survive indefinitely? Ok that's it. You cannot fight anything or do anything except build bases and hide from fish. You're probably conservative or something so it's too high IQ for you. We HAD to make our space survival water planet game like this because of Sandy Hook School Massacre from 2012.
>"Look, let's go live in that dead end, deep underwater thermal hellhole! The algae there tastes like cotton candy! Yum!"Is there a reason why the last survivors of Humanity are acting either like fucking lemmings or hippies on steroids? I feel like I missed something.

>>739083091>Is there a reason why the last survivors of Humanity are acting either like fucking lemmings or hippies on steroids? I feel like I missed something.A virus that is infecting the entire planet(again) made by a tree that is attempting to turn everything alive into plant food for itself.
>>739019940Subnautica was never scary you limp dick
>>739083091I think they're getting mindfucked by the planet
>>739083313maybe it went over my head but i entirely missed why the protag isn't affected by this. i was half expecting some Far Cry 2 mechanic where you have to keep medicating yourself so you don't go insane
>>739083262go straight down to the bottom of the area when his back is turned. There are spots down there you can get underneath where he can't reach you
>>739083262Get excited, cause you gotta get past him
>>739083351I had a harder time playing Subnautica than I did any horror game I've ever played. To the point I had to pause the game during tense moments to catch my breath. I have had a deep fear of the ocean since I was a kid.Playing 2 has been easier however. I think playing 1 cured some of my fear.
>>739083351>anon learns he lacks any degree of empathy
I hated the basebuilding in Subnautica. Transporting and managing resources is awful gameplay. It would be a lot more enjoyable if you could make a small mobile base, like the cyclops but better, with unlimited storage. You get it from the start and upgrade it throughout the game. The fun part is the exploration. The other shit is tedious.
>>739083091the premise of the game is that everyone's stomach got fucked by fungi and made them veganno joke, you cant eat the fish until you unfuck your stomach
>>739083432>maybe it went over my head but i entirely missed why the protag isn't affected by this.my man, you literally spend the entire game going towards the tree after the AI had to mindwipe you back to factory settings
>>739074515Faggots are either game devs seething about being called out on their bullshit or paid shills. Now way anyone is retarded enough to defend these basic ass game mechanics and call it progress from the first game just because in Subnautica 1 you got attacked once, but in Subnautica 2 you get attacked twice. No way they're defending this as actual lessons learnt from the first game. No way these I'm paying for this, pirating all the way, multiple times, just so they can lose sales on me.
>>739074624>>Early AccessAn early access that is expected to last more than 3 years. In 3 years AI will be able to create better games from scratch without human involvement. Maybe they released an unfinished turd in early access because they realized they need to cash out now.
how the fuck do you scan the squid, he's so FAST
>>739078997Imagine gaming being a poor forgotten industry just scraping by instead of a battleground for faggots getting too into politics
>>739080615>posting on a defunct mongolian break basket forum>about game of monglian basket weavers gaining sentienceIt's pile pottery, it rhymes
>>739074624early access, that was delayed by 4 years and still had to cut down the starting biomes from 4 to 2this level is incompetency is a joke, no wonder Krafton dropped is trying to cut ties
>>739085121The devs are in this very thread. They only respond to cultah wah talking points because they have nothing else left to excuse their incompetence. Laugh at the devs with me.
>>739085393wasnt it like 6-9 months between major content patches for subnautica 1? i didnt pay attention to the threads until it was like 1 patch away from 1.0if 2 is this bad out the gate and after 4 years of delay, either they won't hit the 3 year 1.0 goal or it's going to be empty as fuck
>>739085121>Vehicle: TridentCould it be... the nuClops?
>>739085513The devs suck leviathan dick
>>739085568>Large multi-crew submarine successor to Subnautica 1's Cyclops. Solo-first balance with optional crew slots.apparently so, but if they were going to include the cyclops when the game has only 4 biomes then theyve learnt nothing from subnautica 1
>>739085651Is the current version of EA just "2 biomes"? It feels more like 4. >coral starter>hot zone>squidville>ayylmao land
>>739085121>game delayed and launch content cut>here's more furniture and 7 pre-order furnituresfuck you devs
>>739085651Of course they haven't. The orignal devs were fired for being too right-leaning and the new devs added engine sounds to the Prawn that was electrically powered. They don't get anything. The CEO sure as fuck has his head up his own ass. Pirate at worst, disregard at worst.
>>739083432>why the protag isn't affected by this.You are infectedIt's what you hear when you're cleansing the virus on the roots.
hope they add indorr plants and aquariums soon
second angle
>>739086226unreal engine looks even more plasticky than the first game
>>739019276the story isn't finished, nor most of the map so I don't see any point buying it yet.
last shot from outside
>>739086226very cozy
>building a second base>choose a spot>while i'm building all i hear is CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH>like every 5 seconds>jump out and look>crabs are getting crunchedI made a mistake building here. It never ends. The crabs keep popping out babies, and the squid things keep crunching, please make it stop.
>>739087749I was very fucking paranoid about my second base after building in front of the stupid nibblers who did 1% damage every time I wanted to return home
>>739087749that's why i picked a place close to the map border, i have one squid but that fucker is EATING nonetheless, you're close to my spot.
>>739088235>>739086343>>739086226I hope these god awful mirror ceilings get removed
>>739088434yeah the reflection is too much, easy fix would be to change the surface area to metallic, damp, wooden etc>>739087749there he is solo chomping the local wildlife
>>739088434I just want an option. In some cases I could see myself making a wall or floor for some halls or rooms reflective like that.
last pic for the tonight, notice the chomper still about. gn /v/
>subnatucia>bacterial infection>subnautica 2>viral infectionWhats next, fungal infection?
>>739082061You sound so incompetent, so you are a developer, learn please about balancing horror games something. They are balanced around expensive fights, you can hit back but you will lose more
>>739090298you know it, I do hope we get some evil bacterias in RE10 later
>>739032203What do you do with spent Basic Batteries? They are cluttering up my storage.
>>739090845You stick them in the battery charger
>>739090845if you don't have the advanced batteries yet, just put them in the battery charger and rotate. After you have them though, just dump them outside the playable are and never think about them again... (i don't think they despawn)
>>739081398u could knife kill a leviathan in s1
>>739085393Is that Brendan Shaub aka Gringo Papi?
>>739085121If you don't just REEE-take Unknown World's side of the dispute against "da evil corporashun" and read Kraton's side, it makes sense.They accuse the director and cofounder/founder Maguire I believe his name was of not even directing the team for huge chunks of time, instead using his office equipment to work on personal video projects and other hobbies. I believe his fellow co-founder/founder essentially confirmed his colleague was having some sort of rough patch or was disillusioned.The director of the project not doing his job lines up perfectly with how disorganized and terrible at how slow the game development progressed. Had it been professionally managed, the game would likely have been released by now.
Hey guys how do you liek my baes?
>>739091581this guy fucks
>>739091581babby's first base lol
>>739091581>>739091707cute
>>739091439I witnessed their incompetence first hand with Subnautica 1's development, they tried to Krafton as the villain here but now that the game is out and it's mega bare bones you can 100% see all their accusations of the devs being faggots that barely worked on the game being pretty accurateThe best thing at this point is for Krafton to cut them loose and let them sail under their own CEO's flag, and I'm hoping Krafton dropping publishing rights is an indication they're moving towards that direction
Theres no Lithium on the island the squid likes to circle, is there? I resigned myself to live on this island from now on, but I got no lithium.
>>739031043This. Looks bland and dull. Lacking of anything unique or color. really don't understand why they just didn't just add more and build on the first one by expanding it with the deleted content.
>>739092385how the fuck do you park your prawn
>>739092385you can do that in 2 no problem. the building system is more refined and modular. You can resize any room, make interesting shapes, make hallways, etc. You just don't see it in action that much in this thread because everyone's building basic bases and exploring the game for the first time.
>>739069007That's funny. My microsoft account got a random pw reset request roughly that timeframe after launching the game.
>>739086226>>739086343i can't force myself to bother with making a pretty base when i know im gonna have to restart from the beginning when the game fully releases
>>739094167yep thats how i feel. its all just practicality for now
travelling back and fourth over squidland is so tiring
having to make more than 1 base is annoying
>>739094492it's literally just one guy patrolling around?
>>739094492>back and fourthWhat for? Once I got to the second zone, I only needed to travel once for lithium back to the starter zone.
>got to the point where nothing is voice acted anymore and nothing is really scanablei wonder how long its gonna take them to finish this game
>>739094492Never got attacked using this route.
>>739095694Surely they're gonna add biomes to the north and south, right guys?
>>739095754To the north, yes. You have to get to the tree somehow.Still bothers me how linear and handholdy current map progression is. That spot near the Alien Ruins PoI is obviously the place where devs want you to make a second base, every cave there is so full of basic building materials it's ridiculous.
>>739095754>Surely they're gonna add biomes to the north and south, right guys?They've said so already in the Q&A.
>>739095754I'd imagine they're going to add more map in every direction and probably shuffle up what's already there.
Piggybacking off this thread because I'm playing through this with a friend and I know the time will come when there's no more game.Is the Subnautica 1 co-op mod reasonably playable?
>get to the point where, ayy lmaos are murdering everyone>ai tells me that defending myself against them with a weapon is morally wrong, offers no solution>conversation just ends therewhat in the actual fuck
>>739097941How DARE you try to fight you fucking nazi chud.
>find a cool spot for a base>eventually nigger fish start moving nearby and attacking me>dont do a lot of damage but now I have to watch out while I build>more of them show up >can’t kill them because devs are faggotsThis shit is so annoying
>>739075695AI slop as fuck
>>739080615Except that the movie ends a quarter into it and the parts that you can see have mistakes all over
>>739098720apparently having a gun that grabbed them and pushed them away was too violent for the devsso now we get nothing
>get to the hotcaves>build a base in the hotcaves>there is still a day/night cycle underground and you can't see shit at "night" where there is no sunlight at allguess I'll just wait for this to be finished
>>739099346>there is still a day/night cycle underground and you can't see shit at "night" where there is no sunlight at allI wish it worked like that but the interior still gets brighter during the day even if the outside is still pitch black.
>>739083351The entire game was literally made to cater to people who do find deep dark oceans disturbing and what could be down there if it's not scary it's like an RPG without levels
>>739099394bot response
>>739099440retard response
Anyone with rtx5090? Can the game run on 120fps easily?
>>739099474I have a 4090 and at max graphics, 4k I can't get 60fps without dlss
>>739099394it gets darker at "night" in an area where there is no sunlight at all, retarded nigger bot.
>>739019276does this game have some sort of creative mode or cheat menu? That's how I played the last one
>>739099531and it gets brighter too.Congrats, we agree.
>>739099561it. is. retarded. for. there. to. be. a. day. night. cycle. where. the. sun. does. not. shine. you. retarded. nigger. bot.
>>739099631Yes, I know, I said I agree.Calm down.
>>739099672you don't agree with anything. you are a bot. light in a lava cave, where the water is 100c at least, should not change with day/night cycles. bot.
>>739099728Are you esl or just indian?At this point I'm not even sure if you know what you're upset about.
>>739032173>none of that bullshit is legal in america either retardBribe the right guys and it is.
i just bought subnautica 1, what am i in for
>>739099917What you mean is>Be rich enough and it is
>>739026545Multiplayer is the big gimmick, but the game is still designed around single player.
>>739019940The games were never scary to begin with.
>>739099794the initial complaint, at >>739099346 was that, despite being deep under the surface, where no sunlight should penetrate, there is still a day/night cycle, in an environment that generates light/heat (as the water is 100C) due to volcanic activity, for absolutely no reason, everything is periodically dark, and navigation is impossible, because all light sources are darker because the engine has a universal day/night cycle.also notable is the fact these threads are exclusively bot driven and i am the one an only actual person posing in them.
>>739100142bleep bloop brrrrt
Alright, I think I'm done.>Locker full of Pavlova>Found enough Biobeds that I have 7 hotbar slots>Built all 5 Metal Farms since there are only 5 Axum Bacteria Cultures in the game>Two fully upgraded Tadpoles, one Recon Ray and one HAUL>Fully stocked Gardens>Made a rather nice base with 240 energy from 20 Hydroelectric Turbines, mostly stocked Lockers for every item in the game, bunch of Processors on standby>Built over the crater the crashed ship is in so plenty of room to expand should they add a dock for the big submarine, so nice and centrally located for the next major update>All tools and subs have the upgraded batteriesAnd now we wait.
>>739099979>you don't get the side seats in the tadpole till the end of the gameWhats the fucking point?
>>739100259>>Fully stocked GardensYou can make gardens?
>>739100267The default, bare, Tadpole has two sets of grab bars.
>>739100267So you'll all split up and explore different parts of the map instead of Speed Buggy-ing it everywhere.
>>739099394it literally does "work that way" in the game, bot, as despite there being no capacity for the sun to shine, deep under the surface, it gets lighter in the "day" and darker at "night" because of the lazy coding.
>>739100393Why are you starting the argument all over again?
>>739043902This started happening to me tonight and also jumpscared me
for the love of shit these threads are 100% bot, except for me.the initial tadpole has grab points for multiplayer. you can accidentally hit them when trying to pilot the thing
>>739100358Yeah, you can scan them at the base next to the Observatory once you make it past the Collector.
>>739100473Can you take a picture? I have no idea what base you're talking about.
>>739100409there is no argument, bot, the game engine is bugged. it gets "dark" deep underground because of a day/night cycle that should not be relevant to heat/lava caves.
>>739019276I'm gonna pass on it until the devs get their heads out of their asses about killing the fish. It's completely immersion breaking that fish don't die when you hit them with your sub or knife equivalent.
>>739100523ok
It's hard to know what's truly missing versus what could be on the roadmap. But the big thing for me right now is the bases are really boring. Finding a new room in Sub1 felt awesome. The new build system is nice, but after building 1 base all i want is a template system so i can define a room and then just put it down without having to fiddle with it every time. There's no bulkheads, no structure penalty. Just make a box, make it a little bigger as you unlock more stuff, and that's all. If they aren't going to have defined rooms, then there should be game reasons for me to make room. like separating the scanner from powerplants.
>>739086226>>739086917Cute>>739090845I put them in the battery charger. I never even built the upgraded batteries.>>739095754I assume so. A dev said in a comment on the Nolt boards https://subnautica2.nolt.io/ somewhere that they intend to make the S2 map bigger and deeper than S1. And when you explore out of bounds it says it's the Early Access border specifically.>>739098720>travel 20,000 light years to get away from ocean joggers>crash land on a planet full of ocean joggers>>739099273you have a geologist's hammer, do some geology on them>>739099474>>739099492I think UE5 uses the CPU heavily for a lot of the rendering, lumen and nanite and stuff. I have an RTX 2080 Super and it runs great at 1440p with DLSS upscaling. A 5090 is several times faster than a 2080 so it should easily run at 4k without upscaling if the GPU was the bottleneck.>>739099631>>739099672not either of you but I want a dark area where it is pitch black in the water and you are required to use light to see anything
>>739100259>Just learned there's a Tadpole mod, Cavitation Muffler, at the Metal FarmONE MORE THING LEFT TO DO
>>739100931>t I want a dark area where it is pitch black in the water and you are required to use light to see anythingthe day/night cycle is currently so fucked that you can't see anything at all at "night" flashlight or not
>>739099936It's good. I enjoyed it most when I sort of ignored the story and just explored and built bases in interesting areas.
>>739101054what about the deep hole right next to the lifepod, the one where you start the game? I've been down there a few times and it's always pitch black and the lights still work
>>739100523Holy fuck, an early access game that isn't finished yet has some wonky shit in it?!
>>739100514NTA but it's the Alien Ruins signal and the growbeds themselves are on the roof of the abandoned base.
>>739100898>Finding a new room in Sub1 felt awesomeOh yeah, finding the one large round room was absolutely incredible, my heart soared and the birds sang when I could break up the monotony of TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES with a Christmas popcorn tin.
>>739102253I assume more building elements are coming.There's this skylight in one of the base ruins.
>>739102648Undoubtedly. I'm pretty excited to see what they do add.
Where's the tadpole haul blueprints? I found one at the metal farm but haven't seen anymore and I think the games over.
>>739103176There's one inside of a mountain, can't remember what it's under but it has that red grass. If you get close you can't miss it because it has a red light and makes a sound on repeat. There's another one up on top of a cliff somewhere near the metal farms I think.
