dook Subnautica Thread

Is there a map in game? I don't want to use the wiki because I feel like I'm cheating.

>>384099829

>brrrrrrraaaaaaaaap

If I switch to experimental do I have to start the game over?

Post more spooky underwater monsters.

>>384099892
Yeah. I could really use a world map equivalent, if only so I know which way to turn my cyclops to get in the general vicinity of places.

>>384099829
Can't we just make a general thread?

>>384099892
Looking up a map is okay in my book

So I keep getting random red dots flashing over parts of my cyclops. Don't seem to do anything, but I assume I'm supposed to be getting data from this?

Also, can bonesharks harm the Cyclops?

>>384100769
>can bonesharks harm the Cyclops?

Give them the chance and they will wreck your sub

I'm gonna make a gun mod for this game, hopefully that triggers that fagget nu-male dev.

>>384101094
The game already has a gun.

>>384100976
Goddamnit, I was hoping only leviathans could.

That's a pain. But everything <boneshark the Cyclops is invulnerable to?

what do you do once you finally have one, but before you've managed to get all the jazz you need for upgrades/customization? Is there some zone I need to get to?

And the floating island is opposite the actual island, re: the spawn lifepod, right?

>>384100247
no! The game must be ruined with memeposting and shitty hourly shill threads on /v/

The sea isn't there to be creepy anon. It isn't there for you. It's the sea. Which is exactly why it's so creepy.

>>384103227
I'm holding out judgment on the ghost until I see it in the wild, but I don't have high hopes based on pictures and sounds. If it was like a big fucking stealth eel that popped out and nabbed you that would be solid, but it sounds like it's going to grunt and swim around like everything else.

It's in a few of the darker areas like the Grand Reef, although without being the wrong spawn range like the Reaper you'll likely hear it before seeing it either way. Their surprise peekaboo levels will depend on whether or not they roar at random or only when they're chasing something, don't know I'm not currently in experimental.

>>384103372
With this next sentence I'm going to blow your mind.

You can drive while in external camera mode. In fact you should, all the time.

>>384103372
You drive on cameras, always. Especially once they integrate the fix for exiting them they forgot about with VotD.

>>384103361
I wish they added materials from bigger fish/monster that you'll need to build more advanced stuff by killing them.
It would also make gathering stalker teeth easier.

>>384103961
>drop three bits of scrap next to some stalkers
>drown in so many teeth you can build a hundred observatories
There's nothing hard about it. They drop them endlessly while playing with scrap, and go friendly once you've dropped some for them.

Just found an entrance to the lost river that had a Sea Dragon skull in it and some sort of Precursor base. Does this river connect to the main one? (which subsequently connects to lava zone) It seems to connect to the blood kelp forest.

Killing things is not the games focus at all, that would be stupid to add. If you actually had to kill things it would be tedious since it's so easy with Stasis.

You can reset that in some way I believe, I've seen lads mention it although I can't remember how. I only use it to make my base look pretty and occasionally the cameras to find nearby stuff.

You only use the seaglide to grab scrap metal around safe shallows - and to get the seamoth.

Just use a Cyclops to move it around, that's basically part of it's purpose. Stick with the Seamoth for exploration of anything above the ILZ Corridor if you dislike it.

Atheism.

>Mongolian societies inherited their technologies from the Chinese, but incorporated the customs of their multicultural colonist base. Non-synthetic foods remain popular. Religion is a strong component of society, but the Mongolians take a relaxed view of competing faiths, believing gods to be universally and equally flawed. Mongolians will often be heard proclaiming, 'I believe in gods, so long as they don't try to command me.' If pushed to explain how they can believe in a god with no authority they will explain, simply, that all people are gods, and their authority is equally zero.

Their schedule is generally monthly, although VotD ran pretty late and the current one is a lot of optimization efforts and bugfixes with some content so it could easily be delayed a little too.

25 hours /v/. That's how far I made it before I started using cheats. This is on my first run through, by the way. I just got the game a few days ago.

Once I unlocked the moonroom, I really didn't feel like going out and finding 40 titanium or however much you need.

It's not that it's hard to find, I just didn't feel like going out yet again and spending 10+ minutes looking for a resource.

Development took a 180, they removed the interactable terrain and started on the pretty shitty alien arc and added shit like the god awful intro music and the goofy corporate dystopia jokes which doesn't exactly help the atmosphere.

>With Subnautica it's the obvious case of programming talent lackluster.
That's also the cause of all issues all voxel based games have from spengies to minecraft.

>>384112779
it is voxel-based - the terrain is randomly generated each playthrough

Can the Cyclops carry both Seamoth and the Prawn or only one of them at a time?

>>384112918
Procedurally generated terrain =/= voxel based.
I think.
Don't know that much about it but you can probably just generate it without relying on storing everything as voxels.
Is there any way to modify the terrain in any way shape or form or is it always the same shape?

it is voxel-based

>>384113120
Only one

>>384105065
they suck though because they are about this shit lame ass game with terrible monster designs for what are supposed to be the toughest enemies in the game

>>384113212
originally, terraforming was meant to be a big part of the game, you were able to dig through the ground to hide from predators, sand sharks actually moved the ground a bit and there were creatures designed to dig holes and shit, also there was an item called a terraformer that allowed you to dig through rock. All this got scrapped because loading areas that had been modified at all took ages and it made performance worse than it is now. The map is still voxel-based which is causing a fuckload of performance issues but they're remaking it in a static mesh which should fix the 2fps

>>384113362
Well shit, and I'm almost done with my Prawn suit too. Cyclops upgrade with 2 vehicle docks when?

Can't imagine how slow it would be to move around in the Prawn suit compared to the Seamoth.

>>384113282
According to a wiki I found it apparently is.
Genuinely impressed, rare as fug that a voxel based game isn't a laggy buggy piece of shit.

>>384114360
i think i had nearly a dozen of data boxes found and getting absolutely nothing from it (like, no "New blueprint" notification or anything).

Do you build in with a normal fabricator, not a modification station/scanner room fabricator, right?

>>384114468
I've never made one but I'd assume it's in the tools/deployables section of the fabricator same as any other equipment.

>>384114468
The compass should be in a data box by a lifepod in the safe shallows near the surface

>>384113713

I'm not afraid of the water but I think subnautica is probably the most terrifying game I've ever played. It lends itself to a primal fear of being alone and surrounded by the unknown. That said it's a great game. The terror is what makes it compelling. Little by little you venture out into unknown waters to scrounge some new resource and make at least some small section of the world slightly less terrifying.

>>384115309
Don't forget all the other resources you need to build the moonpool. And the resources you need for the vehicle modification station. And the resources you need for each individual upgrade module. And then you'll need to grind more common resources to build a big base.

It's not just 40 titanium. It's hundreds and hundreds of titanium, along with all the other resources. Finding them once is fine, but having to go do it constantly for everything you build gets old fast.

Don't act all high and mighty because you're wasting an extra 30 minutes going back and fourth on the sea floor collecting resources.

I've been wanting an underwater game for some time but I'm wary. I haven't fallen into the early access trap yet and I was planning on keeping it that way, but this game looks pretty cool. I'm wondering how good everyone's faith is on there being an actual, solid released game in the future. I know a lot of these titles don't pan out and people end up wasting money. Is the game fun as is? Is it worth the twenty bucks?

>>384099829
Why does no one talk about the underwater shit in ARK? I find that to be way more terrifying.

Is that observation station or whatever the room with the camera drones is going to be even remotely useful?

>>384127196
I'd get it while it's still cheaper, they're releasing it soon and upping the price. It's a really solid game so far - only downsides IMO is the performance between biomes but they're fixing that before release.

>>384126575
i'd recommend using the beacons to mark every single piece of wreckage you found - makes the area sweeping much easier (although it fills your vision with tons of bullshit information)

There's no survival/sandbox aspect beyond "well you can if you want", and the world is small.

wait until this gets a full release. the stupid fucking writers to this game have pretty much the entire story written, but no ending.

don't want to spoil anything but this is basically the video game equivalent of the sopranos right now - you progress through the entire story up to the point where the game tells you "ok you've fulfilled all the things for you to beat the game" but literally just no ending yet.

if you can find it for $10 or something you'll spend enough hours just doing survival stuff to make it worth your $10.

>>384131171
The problem is the animations for the game are done for a first person perspective.

When you look at your co-op partner all you would see is a static doll, more or less.

>>384131374
Making basic animations and implementing them into the engine shouldn't be that hard if you have the skeleton for the character.

It's Unity, right?

>>384131374

Animations isn't really much of an issue.
The main problem is how multiplayer would work with the save system and player death. Once you bring another player into the mix it changes a whole bunch of factors within the gameplay structure.

>>384131594
Don't know honestly.

It's the excuse the developers used at any rate.

>>384131798
The game takes place underwater. How many animations do you need for someone swimming compared to characters walking on land?

>>384131869
You know you can also walk on land in this game right

>>384132336
Yeah but compared to how much time you spend swimming, walking animations aren't exactly all that much.

hmmm, what's a nice, deep place to base myself? preferrably close to a thermal source, since i don't have the nuke plant and the bioreactor seems bad.

>>384132908
What do you want to do with the base?

If all you need is storage/some food plants/a powercell charger, you can do that anywhere with a bioreactor.

>>384133638

>>384133789
Safe shallows is basically the center of the map so that's as good a place as any to base out of and it can be powered with solar panels just fine.

I put my secondary base in the kelp forest near the entrance to the lost river at about 800m but its kind of a bitch to power those if you don't have nuclear reactors.

>>384134339
Yeah I realize that now.
But fuck, why does the ocean have a finite amount of fish in this game?
That means it's possible to just make an entire area of fish extinct. And I could have sworn that's what happened in my 45 hour game last year. All of the eyeball fish in a ridiculous radius around my base in the shallows were nowhere to be found because they were my source of food.

That was some dumb fucking shit.

>>384118819

>>384105905
does the repulsion gun hurt anything or is it just a portable vortex torpedo?

>>384134858
That's supposed to happen. It forces you to push out further and explore because resources are limited and don't respawn.

But honestly hunger and thirst is a fucking joke. It's so easy to come by it's more an annoyance than an actual concern.

makes me feel bad for looking up the wiki whenever I need something

>couldve made it Lovecraftian as fuck

News flash: "Lovecraftian" =/= good. This is not a retarded jumpscare simulator, it's a survival game.

>>384136028
>actually implying that lovecraftian is about jumpscares
You fucking turbonigger

Is this how you're supposed to kill leviathans too?

>>384103846
How do you exit external camera mode? Escape doesn't even get me out of there.

Is there a roadmap or something for this game? It looks great but after Starbound I don't play Early Access till after release.

WHY DID THEY CHNAGE THE HUD, IT WAS PREFECT

>>384136184
Yup

No idea if the Stasis Gun works on Sea Dragons tho

>>384111885
the alien arc was always planned

dafuq is going on?

I loaded my game after a while of not playing, was in the safe shallows, touched my cyclops with the prawn, it vanished, got crush depth warning from cyclops and saw the icon for it 18km away from me for a second until that vanished as well

>>384103243
come back when you run out of inventory space, and tell us how much of an idiot you are for not using the cyclops as mobile storage locker and fabrication base.

You can stasis it, you just need to aim for the head

>>384106202
you might need it later on if they implement radiation on uranite and radioactive waste and disposing of your spent fuel rods. the nuclear reactor might get buffed soon, since this thing is absolutely useless right now. i can produce more sustainable power with 10 thermal reactors.

>>384139076
Except not minecraft like at all save for crafting

>>384138787
crash land on blanet with underwater spoops with objective:survive
things thrown at you include alien plague, dook dooks, big fucking fish, and other stuff

>>384139076
>it's like minecraft
that's almost as bad as saying because something's hard its dark souls

>>384107170
the jet boosters do not add a lot to underwater mobility, they just enable you to boost when on land.

>>384134926
This. I would be fine with a scanner room is the range wasn't 1 ft.

baka imo senpai

>>384127261
How is that? From what I understand balance is fucking retarded and likely based around multiplayer with animals taking real days to tame.

>>384138276
yeah, that happens with old savegames. they just stop working, and make your shit go all bonkers

>>384139970
you can say the same about skyrim, dipshit

>>384141271
but skyrim is like minecraft anon

>>384140196
only if you do not tame with kibbles, because with kibble and the right meat it takes less than an hour.

ark is still retarded.

>>384141271
Pretty false equivalence, senpai. The loot and inventory and crafting system are the premier axis of gameplay in both minecraft and Subnautica. The primary gameplay- wander around uninhabited worldscape and gather resources and blueprints and so on- is the same between both mc and sn, and the only difference is one is a landscape, the other a seascape, and that you have to find and scan new blueprints in SN. (In MC you just try things until you figure out what works.)

Basebuilding, crafting stations, etc are consistent. Though certainly I like Subnautica's better. Again, the difference is that Subnautica actually feels like a complete game, not just autistic lego simulator.

*knock knock*

>>384135451
It would be so fucking amazing if turning off the lights actually helped you to avoid these fucks.

Gods I couldn't get a good screenshot but this motherfucker chased me away from the Aurora entrance and up to this sandbar where he still wouldn't give up. He tried to Free Willy my shit by making jumps over the sandbar at me. Motherfucker.

>>384143168
Why didn't you just kill it

>>384143168
Jesus christ what did you do?

I just cruise along at surface level and even in the Cyclops they don't bother me much.

>>384143369
Because I hadn't fashioned a stasis rifle yet.

>>384143453
>goes to known reaper territory without a stasis rifle or a seamoth
>instead of being super careful he manages to piss off a reaper so much he gets camped

How do you even fuck up this bad

Fucking warpers dear GOD. Do they do damage anywhere between 1 and 99 with their magic balls of teleportation? I Remember being harrassed by them long time ago without being actually dangerous but i was trying to get out of Lost River now and the faggot nearly killed me throwing me out of PRAWN. And i forgot a fucking medkit again, now i guess i better remember how to get to Mushroom Forest exit, i wont make it out through Blood Kelp with 999 warpers patrolling there

>First lifepod spawns right up on the ship's ass
Welp, that's all for this run

oh god, what do?

>>384144201
The warp does only like 5 or 10 damage, but their claw attack does a fuckhuge amount (75 or something).

Could be the warper teleported you right next to them and immediately stabbed you.

>>384144874
RAMMING SPEED anon

>>384144769
The radiation is what's killing me, not any creatures

the leviathans don't even scare me

>>384145056
cant, it swims faster than the cyclops on flanked speed.

>>384145060
You're not supposed to spawn there. That part is not in the safe shallows.

I always hear creature x chased me.
Is this a new gimmick? When I played this game they lost interest after a their initial attack.

>>384102242
How did you find the lava zone but not anything else?

>>384145274
>they lost interest after a their initial attack.
They do, but they can follow you quite a bit if they have no chance to actually lunge at you

>>384103361
Best way to kill anything except warpers in this game:

1. Build PRAWN
2. Equip with Mining Drill and Grappling Hook
3. Hook dook, faggot boneshark, leviathan (warning this will take a long time).
4. Use thrusters to boost in their direction.
5. Apply drill.
6. ????
7. Profit.

>>384145994
Or you just throw a stasis rifle shot towards them and you can be on your way.

>>384146134
But then you don't to be a Gundam pilot.
