>>382863397
Then why the fuck didnt you just say things instead of gubbins

>>382863598
Because Subnautica threads had started using the word "gubbins" lately to refer to scraps.

>>382863397
Er, well, not that I'm aware of.
What are you having trouble finding in particular?

hey do I have to go fix the aurora? that shit is scaring me, I keep hearing about radiation leaking and after seeing the ship detonate I got scared.
also fuck every zone except the safe shallows. I hate that shit.

>>382863806
Just give it a few more ingame days that whole Aurora situation pretty much sorts itself out.

>>382863806
If you want to stop the radiation, you'll have to fix the aurora. You'll want to just for the sake of the better suit upgrades. You'll find lots of shit to scan as well so you can build a better base.

>>382863693
I had issues finding the Seaglide, but that got sorted out. I also had problems looking for resource nodes since they retextured all the outcrops.
I like the new look though. Even if finding shit was momentarily fucked.

>>382863806
you can, going in and fixing it removes the radiation after a few days passes, plus there're some good schematics and supplies inside

I already saw the ship blow the fuck up.
Also, who's killing everyone? Every time I visit a lifepod it has a huge whole in it.
Am I being hunted?

>>382863806
Yes, you should fix it. It's not scary; just bring a fire extinguisher and a repair tool and you'll be fine.

>>382864127
You are.

>>382864127
An island holds the answers.

>>382863806
I didn't mess with the Aurora until I had a seamoth because I knew they'd put a leviathan near the front of the damned thing. Once you go there and fix the radiation leaks in the engine room, shit gets much better since you can wear your stillsuit all the time and not worry too much about water. Plus the PRAWN blueprints are in the Aurora.

Now, it would be fantastic if bone sharks 5 miles away wouldn't come rushing to skull fuck my submarine even when I'm traveling slowly or with the silent drive feature.

>>382864092
I think they finally got rid of terraforming, since I saw a few Crash explosions and they didn't leave craters.
There might be some artifacts, but I think it should be better now

>>382864052
The first time I went there and saw IT start configuring I was quite surprised.

Well, that's much of the point of Subnautica.

There is ultimately very little that can challenge a systematically progressing player... it's mostly mental obstacles.

>>382864127
The alium fish are killing everyone.

>>382864092
they wound up having to take away the ability to modify terrain. It means that you can't dig your way to fhte final level but it makes the game stable, at least.

Working on making an actual product that can be sold and that has clear goals to deal with is the reason Subnautica didn't wind up No Man's Sky IMHO

>>382864368
What are you implying? You might need a laser cutter, but there's plenty of food and water on board and the only hostile creatures are bleeders in the drive room

You don't even need to bring a fire extinguisher really, there's plenty to be found in the ship, so long as you don't waste their contents.

>>382864679
Having to rely on a shield kills any reason to use silent running or slow speeds. Yeah, as soon as bone sharks start ramming my cyclops, I just hit the shields and watch them convulse with EMF aids, but still, it'd be nice if all that time and effort they put on the silent running update actually paid off by letting you be sneaky.

>>382864932

>>382864598
honestly, the cyclops is god damn garbage now, it would be somewhat useful if I could at least transport my PRAWN with it, but every time I try docking it the damn sub capsizes.
It's big and unwieldy, and the ocean isn't so big you can't just walk wherever you want to in the PRAWN. Basically the only use for it is throwing a locker/garden in for easy resource/food access, and at that point it's more a boat than a sub.

>>382864787
"Creative" meaning an inventory full of rapidly breaking knives?

>>382864787
>It doesn't lead to any interesting mechanics

What about giving you a last ditch speargun that can be used to deter predators, but has a rate of fire that makes it worthless to kill?
And then give you specialized bolts that can do things like attach to larger predators and then track their movements, both giving you the advantage in avoiding them and possibly making it a storyline feature where you have to find where they all go every few days and find the "Reaper Hive" there or some such.

Spearguns are far more than just for killing.
Adding anything more than spearguns wouldn't be necessary in my opinion though. But an easy ranged defensive tool would be nice to have if only to give players a security blanket.

Bravo, devs. Thanks for making the sub useless by putting fucking road blocks everywhere. There isn't even a use for the cyclops anymore, you fuckwits. What was the purpose of spending all that time on a silent running update if the sub is fucking useless now??

I don't even give a fuck about guns, because most things in the game have so much health that it would be pointless to even try. Reaper leviathans require about fifteen minutes of straight knifing just to be put down.

>>382865607
Fair enough, I see the wiki says they removed durability now, I haven't played in a few months.

See, that's generally speaking why you'd want a gun.

Or at least the PRAWN should be as powerful as advertised in the ingame lore.

I miss geomodding. I used to be able to make the perfect base in the safe shallows and now because of typical crafting game hitbox fuckery, I have to make a base that isn't nearly as ergonomic and streamlined.

>>382866047
I'd be okay with no guns and 'creative solutions' if creatures were actually killable and not 1 billion HP unstoppable monsters. The truth is that they don't want 'creative solutions' as they put it, they want the player to be completely helpless and only able to run away.

>>382866047
>prawn being powerful

Don't make me laugh. My diamond tipped drill arm that's supposed to be able to destroy huge mineral nodes barely gives little fishes a massage. Shit like that makes me wish they wouldn't pretend the thing is powerful.

I've explored the Aurora, the Floating Island, and the Mountain Island, as well as the ocean areas underneath. Last thing I found was the Degasi seabase in the Deep Grand Reef as well as those fucking CrabSquids christ they're the scariest thing i've seen yet

Where should I go next?

>>382868027
Have you gone into the thing on the mountain island?
If so, have you followed the signal you find there?

>>382868027
You have to go deeper. Down into the Lost River where the Disease Research Facility lies and deeper still into the Lava Zones where she waits for you

>>382867809
Are you in Administator mode? The 2nd pos has a window and lacks a fabricator right? Enjoy your extra storage bay. Stay for the obnoxious duplicate HUD icon.

What's the scariest creature in Subnautica? Is there anything worse than the Crab Squids? Exploring in the dark and hearing that clicking noise made me want to turn off the game

>just started this an hour ago in VR
>being stranded in open water is one of my only phobias
Nearly had a panic attack the first time a sand shark showed up around the escape pod and I can't even bring myself to go in the direction of those massive vines. Seems like an amazing game though.

Anyone have an idea of what the story progression is going to be like? Obviously it's an open world non-linear game, but what's the sequence of events that lead to the game's "ending" when they finally finish it?

Spoilered.

you get messages from the Sunbeam which is coming to save you
Sunbeam gets vaporized by Precursor Gun
your PDA points you in the direction of the Disease research Facility in the Lost River
it's there that you become aware of having the same disease that you've likely seen the creatures have as in you break out in green glowing cysts
then you get a telepathic message
your PDA points you toward the Precursor Power Center deeper still
you get another mind message
PDA says a massive facility is even deeper
you reach it and find a bunch of things and the source of the messages
now you have to hatch some babies with enzymes
then you find them as juveniles in the world and eat their enzymes to cure the disease
then you turn off the Gun
then you build a Rocket and fly away

and you may have only 5 ingame weeks to do everything up to the eating the cure before the disease kills you

>>382868792
I really hope they don't put a time limit on the disease. It's no fun to have to semi-rush through the game before being able to explore.

>>382863980
What, you can enter the aurora? I tried finding an opening but it's fucking ugly texture makes it impossible to see anything.

Also the cyclops is literal garbage, attracts everything and their grandmother, to big to move anywhere. It's only good for a temp base but then I might as well just build a real base there.

>>382874332
it's so trivially easy to break the food/water system that it almost doesn't matter once you have a good understanding of the game, but for a first time player you should probably just go with survival for the full experience

>>382874405
You can enter it at the front of the aurora. Just stay on the surface and you'll see the 'ramp' to go inside.

>>382874405
Look near the front of the wreck where the front end of it tore off for the openings. You'll want to at least bring a repair tool, fire extinguisher, and laser cutter with you to explore most of it.

The game does a really fucking poor job of conveying you need the work table to improve some of your items. Especially since it calls it the "workbench" when it is definitely not called that.

Started playing a couple of days ago, after spending 2 hours just barely poking out the pod during the day to catch fish and quitting I've finally mustered the courage to go explore a little and let me tell you this game is FUCKING TERRIFYING!
My asshole has been clenching for the seven hours now but I've managed to build a small base 300 meters from the pod and build some tools and a high capacity tank.
Fuck this game, whoever made it and fuck me for playing it.
If you're deeply afraid of depths and the open sea DO NOT PLAY THIS, it's not fucking worth it.

I even ventured too close to the Aurora, holy shit I don't know how I survived but a single bite took 80% of my health, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

That's usually how game dev works. You get all your content in first, then you optimize. That said the game already runs decently if you have a higher end computer.

And yes, if the game interests you, buying now while it's cheap is a solid idea. Even if you just buy it now and shelve it for 3 or 4 months to wait for the 1.0 release.

I remember hearing ages ago that the devs wanted to subtly link the games universe to Natural selection 2's universe via name drops and shit

>>382880890

It has a tendency to stutter when moving around, because much like Minecraft it has to load chunks as you move around the map.

Back when they decided to scrap the whole Minecrafty terraforming aspect, there was talk about them baking the terrain to a static mesh, which would get rid of the chunk-loading performance issues.
That might still be part of their plan for their big performance/polish period that's coming up, but I haven't seen anything official about it. I can only imagine it's a pretty big undertaking to make that large of a change so late in development.

Some areas (Mushroom Forests) are more demanding than others, and there have been some builds with specific bugs that hit performance hard. Besides that and the chunk-loading issues it runs fairly well though.

i sure as shit hope they'll do that - terraforming costs more than it gives to an experience.

My rig can churn all the rendering, but it's the micro-loading is what dips the framerate down.

Also wanted to ask: i found that screenshot on Trello and have been wondering, what storefront is that

>>382871023
>fucking up spoilers
how is that even possible?

Kinda sad they are spending so much effort on the story stuff and not adding more base content

>>382881537
They've already removed all ability to modify the terrain by the player as well as any creatures/etc. But the terrain is still using voxels, you just can't modify them.
The voxel terrain also creates a problem for their Xbone version, which can't do cloud saving with the big 2GB+ save files that the voxel terrain system creates.

Also that screenshot looks like the Windows Store.

>>382881683
Phoneposting from office

>>382881862
they are still using the voxel terrain for their own map creation process. they are going to ditch it and bake the map into a solid mesh as soon they are done tweaking the map. they just recently added new areas to the map, where they hide precursor phase gates leading out from the primary containment to the various biomes. wouldn't make much sense for them to get rid of a handy tool until they are done.

>>382881772
They have an expansion planned on their trello page.
I'm hoping it leans more towards expanding the sandbox, but there's nothing announced about it yet. I don't really know where they can go with a story-based expansion, given the way the game ends.

>>382881772
Is it really all that much stuff though? Three pretty small ayy facilities, and the somewhat unobtrusive quest to cure yourself. It mostly seems it's just to move you into the deeper sections for those who aren't inclined to explore on their own weirdos[/spoilers]. Only shitty thing would be if they added a timer to your need to cure yourself, but I don't think that's a sure thing either way yet.

>>382882091
Right. I understand why they don't want to do it until they have the map more or less finalized.
It would just be nice if they made a new announcement about it. They probably don't want to commit to anything yet though.

WHERE ARE the seamoth fragments?
There are literally none anywhere and i've managed to get the moon poll and nearly the scanner room done already.

Its so frustrating because it's limiting where i can travel and explore.

It's not the same though. Only works in areas where you can hide the planters from sight. I can't help it, I need aesthetics.

Just don't plant them too close to your base, the light radius is really fucked. It'll turn your interior lighting nuclear yellow.

What's the point of being able to stack multipurpose rooms when you can't have high ceilings or stairs? The only cool thing you can do with it is a giant aquarium

>>382883186

>>382883587
Multipurpose Rooms seems to be one of the things that kind of fell by the wayside during development. Stuff like being able to put in a glass ceiling in concept art and similar things all are just not there. Which is rather a shame because you use them for lots of shit from bedroom to aquariums to equipment or storage. Basebuilding in general could use a for more modules, like stairways so you don't have to use the vertical laddertubes.

>>382883587
Well if you put the aquarium on the lower level you can have a glass floor on the upper level.

to all the people saying they're going to wait for the full release: if you're curious, i would say just hop in now.

yes, the game's ending isn't in, but the story is 90% complete and if you do manage to hit that wall, it's SUPER easy to deduce what that last 10% is and it's nothing mindblowing

also the "story" isn't really important at all, it more just serves as a series of objectives to better encourage you to explore the various areas in the world. open world survival/crafting games like this are 100% about the journey, it not having a YOU WON! screen yet isn't going to ruin your enjoyment at all

>>382883848
IIRC, base ladders will be getting an overhaul at some point to match the ladders in the cyclops, which will hopefully mean we get some way to traverse long vertical distances without staring at a ladder climb animation for 30 seconds.
There was also concept art for an extra-large aquarium structure the size of a multipurpose room and accessed through a waterlock, and a collapsable docking port for the cyclops.

>>382883913
yes. it absolutely adds nothing and feels out of place. it would be better if the music would be replaced by a fire alert going off. maybe its just a placeholder

Not getting in before 1.0, but they said it's a consideration for after. I hope so because it's a somewhat glaring omission and pretty often requested feature.

>>382883862
Speaking of that, does something happen to fish if you don't ever enter the Alien Containment ever again after dumping all you want in there? I've been wanting to build one like that for my bedroom section but I don't want some fugly ladder taking up space in it. Logically you'd think no, but I've seen mention of it being such, although people talk shit all the time.

That's why I tend to only keep one of each in their respective tanks. It's fine if you suddenly see 20 Peepers coming home, but 20 Crabsquid is a different story. Also the 10 per tank is a bit much I find, gets too crowded.

You can avoid them pretty well by sticking to its flanks, too shallow for them. Just don't go on the other side of the Aurora.

oh boy, fresh one is welcome aboard - have you things to discover yet!
Swim around the reef with peepers for as long as it takes to take courage for further progress - it's one thing that game has is it grows on you and you get slowly desensitized with feel of dread until you go deeper to discover something even more terrifying

I think it's frustrating that the Reaper Leviathan is basically the only thing you have to worry about for the whole game.
The other Leviathans are too localised to their biomes and they never get the jump on you like Reapers do.

The feeling of trying to rush to the Aurora knowing there were tons of Reapers around there was far scarier than going through the other places knowing that there are one or two easily avoidable Leviathans.
They even mentioned Sea Dragons rising to the surface to hunt Reapers so I don't see why they don't implement that.

when you have 15 seconds on your o2 meter, you are just 20 meters away from your submarine, and these fucks teleport you 20 meters away from it when you almost can touch it, with like 5 seconds left on the counter, just to do the same shit again right when you black out trying to reach your sub. they are sadistic assholes. they even chuckle when they do it

is this game the next minecraft

They do, but as long as you don't go into the Deep Grand Reef you won't have them near enough. Of course, by accident I started building right above one of the entrances to it without noticing but what you gonna do. I hope they'll add in something like the Seamoth Perimeter Defense System for bases though so you can build in Crabsquid areas too. The DGR/NKZ are cozy but full of them. I think create danger to bases has been something the devs have thought about and one of the possible post 1.0 additions, so we'll see.

>>382888006
Go to the edge and start swimming down. Treasures son, untold and fabulous treasures just waiting to be picked up by you and you alone. Do you really want that other anon to find all the gubbins first and become rich beyond dreams? I thought not.

If you play an old build of the game you'll see what I mean, the old world generation make some weird shit and it was almost like a fanasty game because of it

To be fair, haven't we all done that. We see the big shiny engines and say to ourselves, we should go there. It's like a rite of passage.

Wanted an opinion on a similar game without making a brand new thread. Has development of The Forest been as steady as Subnautica's?
I was interested in it a while ago and noticed it's on sale.

>>382886764
That is the edit.

>>382889656
Subnautica has huge content updates every 1.5-2 months, and frequent smaller updates and patches between. Currently, its about less than 2 updates away from release, given that the most recent one just introduced the endgame content.

The Forest has been in development hell for years at this point with only minor updates and still no actual goal or end-game in sight.

>>382890106
The forest has an ending now.

your kid turns into an alien mutant creature during a talk show interview because you revived his dead ass with an alien machine you found in an umbrella corp like secret underground laboratory, where they attempted to heal gravely ill children of super rich families with some alien machine which turned them later into mutant cannibals and monsters

one thing I never liked was how the other giant sea monsters looked
Like the Reapers actually look Alien where as most the other Giant sea monsters look more like s Chimera mix and mash of real animals
They are just more scary and threatening when you don't have real life shit to compare it to

>>382890381
My first Aurora experience was pretty similar. The second time I figured I'd put on my big boy britches and explore the place, since hey, nothing happened last time.

>slowly swimming around the area looking for gubbins
>hear spooky noises and think it must be part of the aurora noise
>OH SWEET CHRISTMAS WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
>swallowed whole as I make faces at my screen
And so ended the tale of the lad being used as a Reaper toothpick.

>>382886602
I went to the northern mushroom forest and stumbled upon a small volcano or whatever spits out black smoke. I tried to screenshot it when I heard a loud scream then saw the Reaper rushing towards me. The Dunes are super spooky especially when you try to reach the meteor crater.

>>382890682
Even though the game was great, the story kind of pissed me off.

You find this ayy lmao device and learn that it revived people at the cost of another's life, but later mutated them into monsters.

Then you find out a little girl was brought back to life using your son after learning all this, then you find her, see her mutate and kill her ass. Then your character's logic is to revive the son and bring him into the world?

Comon.

he is not even a dev, he is their public relations guy hugh jeremy, an australian who ass licked his way with making gameplay videos and update videos for natural selection 2. he even moved from australia to san francisco to work at their offices. no one even knows what he does all day at UWE , since hes not a programmer, nor artist.. he does videos.. trump should deport his ass.
sitting around the office , taking the trash out and cleaning the shitter does not make you a dev. you work for the devs..
