Subnautica is really good and it has unlimited potential when

Couldn't you have just posted this on steam reviews?

>>382987034
I wanted to discuss what people thought and ideas on where they could go with the game in the future.
Perhaps i should have done that in the OP instead.

>no procedural generation
dropped

>>382986558

I get the impression this is going to be yet another abandoned early access game that's going to be shoved to full release then never updated again.

It's been out for a couple of years and is nearing its final stages.

gross

>>382987271
I actually enjoy the map. Procedural is okay in places, but subnautica being so structured has a great feel for exploration.

>>382987927
Not OP, the devs seem legit. Made a shit load of updates and will embrace mods on release.

>>382988115
>>382988217
but then you do it once and its done

>>382986558


it's pretty comry despite being survival but it needs some basic co-op/vs even if just in form of lan multiplayer for 2

One of the big things that has bugged me about Subnautica is that they haven't just been adding one or two doodads for bases a week.

Besides being able to find them for free here's an idea I'll throw out there for free because of the limited map space.

Item sets: Basically you have a fabricator that can built base doodads for materials. You find an item set, it adds like ten aesthetic items you can craft from this

>>382988258

Or you do it forever, but it's boring and shitty.

>>382986558
I just dehydrated and died, I'm about an hour in and can't find the diamond needed for the laser cutter. Nor can I find a way to make fresh water, but outside of that I'm having fun.

>>382988017

I'm aware. Battle Brothers team was supposedly a "good early access" dev too and they did this.

>>382988349
>havent played proper procedural generated game

>>382988383
Make your way to the Floating Islands, pick up Melons and start growing them. You'll never need anything else. Just make sure you pick the right one.

>co-op
>versus

That would be fun as a side note but it would completely ruin the atmosphere, exploration and journey within the game. You are meant to be alone, you are meant to feel alone on an alien world.

I don't understand why people always need 'multiplayer' in their games these days. It would detract from what makes this game stand out as a survival game.

When the Forest introduced Co-Op it literally added nonthing but 'merrrh we can build bases faster now and make them look good'.

>>382988383
The best way to make water is just salt + coral. The lungfish is worthless.

So you're aware they're at the end of Early Access and have planned DLC yet contradict that with your 'it won't leave early access and be abandoned'.

>>382988421
the subnautica playerbase is huge. they have a lot to lose if they just ditch the game after release

The diamonds are found later in the game. You need to be able to go deeper.

Early game water is form the pink looking fish (bladderfish) or from bleach (coral sample obtained with knife and salt)

>literally cant enjoy it due to frame hiccups

I'd prefer a steady 20FPS over this shit.

>>382988512
>being able to play a game with friends add nothing

Do you not have friends? Co-op can elevate any bad game into a mediocre one and decent games into great ones.
The forest is a good example. By adding co-op they added a reason for me to play that garbage game and actually have fun.

>>382988512
co-op could be great, but the map isn't big enough for it

Every early access game has "unlimited potential", but how many have you seen actually live up to that potential by the time they hit 1.0?

>>382988704
you can get diamonds without going very deep, it's just a matter of knowing where to go

>>382988581

I didn't say it wouldn't leave EA. I said it would reach 1.0 and then the devs would stop work on it regardless of whether the players consider it "complete" or not.

"Planned DLC" seems vague to me. The game isn't even complete.

>>382988725

>o-op can elevate any bad game into a mediocre one
This isn't a bad game and works well single player with everything i've just stated and does what it is supposed to do. The Devs have stated Multiplayer is a complete no go, thank fuck. It would ruin it.

>The forest is a good example. By adding co-op they added a reason for me to play that garbage game and actually have fun.
You sound like a man child spitting his dummy out for a bad purchase. I'm glad you enjoyed multiplayer in The Forest but mulitiplayer in Subnautica wouldn't add anything too it. Go play one of the many other games with Co-Op if you're that crazy for company.

>>382988845

pain in the ass anyway. Plus I feel like it is natural to find them later.

>>382988512


that's why I said basic multiplayer, not building megazord submarines requiring 8 power players to operate


>it ruins the game !

then don't use that feature you mong

>>382988852
>I get the impression this is going to be yet another abandoned early access game

Perhaps i interpreted that wrong but whatever i'm not going to sit and argue on 4chan about something so childish.

Anyway, as you also said i actually am also concerned as well l that they'll finish 1.0, release a DLC (what DLC would they even release? A new Biome?) and then leave it behind. Hopefully they don't because there is so much they could do once the game is out. If they incorporate modding it would be amazing.

>Basic Multiplayer
What the fuck are you talking about?
Is 'multiplayer Co-Op' suddently defined in sub categories based upon your arguement? Get the hell out of here kid. The Dev team aren't adding multiplayer so you can forget about it.

It was designed as a coop game, but they wanted to get development rolling so they just started working on the gameplay before worrying about multiplayer. Now they're in too deep and pushed coop back to its own separate longterm goal, similar to Don't Starve, and are ignoring it in the short and medium term. If they were a bit more competent from the get-go, we could already have a coop Subnautica.

>>382989193

argument? what argument? all you said was ' waah I don't like it so it shouldn't be here because I'm too dumb to turn it off!' so we are not even arguing, you're just sperging out

>THE DEVS WILL NEVER ADD IT !

There is a missed opportunity with how the fauna look goofy and there's no incomprehensible deep-sea aliens. Crabquid's the closest.

There's nothing in that stickied post that disagrees with this statement

Really makes you think.

>>382989558

I said it would be good addition because many people enjoy it, you started to sperg out that it would ruin the game without posting any arguments besides your subjective feelings = not an argument. That's all there is to it, this discussion is over.

Soooo, do I have to re-craft items or can I somehow recharge them?

>>382992449
Batteries/Power Cells can be recharged once you build their respective charger. If you don't know how to get them out of their equipment, press R to switch them out, find the Cell on the vehicle to remove it.

>>382992581
Ah I see, thanks anon.

What's the penalty for dying in survival?

>>382988915
>This isn't a bad game

I never said it was. I've played it and enjoyed it and I don't have any friends who would want to play Subnautica anyway so I don't care either way, but multiplayer almost always adds something to a game.

>>382993729
Any resources you've picked up will be lost.

>>382993729
Lose items. You can go back and collect some of them. Every time you enter your pod or base your inventory get 'secured' and they will not drop upon death.

>>382993837
>>382993930
Ah I see, I died and wondered why I didn't lose anything.

>>382988915
MULTIPLAYER WOULD RUIN IT

so some dude modded in basic multiplayer co-op anyways because fuck devs

I built two of each recharger in the Cyclops to sustain during long trips, it helps a lot

>>382995438
Power Cell rechargers trade evenly with consumption in the Cyclops, it's not worth it. Battery Rechargers are fine because you need them for your equipment although personally I just make sure everything is full before setting out instead.

Think both could work? Keep a defined area in the center where you land and a number of surrounding low tier biomes, then use some generation outside of a defined area?

I found some gel sacks near the aurora wreck. I thought these things were only supposed to spawn in deep areas?

>>382997486
Some small passageways near the Aurora have them too. Likely so you can obtain some without having to go all the way into the Lost River.
