Patch notes here:
https://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/ghost-update/

Lots of new shit

>>387795657
bump

>>387795657
Is it beatable now?

And did they fix the bugs with some scans not giving you schematics? I can't build a prawnsuit despite plundering the Aurora inside and out.

>bought subnautica on xbone when it was on sale weeks ago
>game barely works
>hasn't been updated in nearly 2 months

>>387796152
Nope, I don't think this update did anything for the main story. You still can't leave the planet.

No idea about the scan bugs.

>>387796275
Why on earth would you buy it for the Xbone?

Unknown Worlds made a huge mistake releasing the Xbone version so damn early. Both versions suffer for it.

>a connecting tunnel from the Mountains all the way down to the Lost River and Lava zones

Oh goodie, a straight shot down there in Reaper territory, now I get to have heart attacks while looking for this tunnel. Like searching for the old entrance in the Dunes and going into the entrance under the front of the Aurora wasn't bad enough. And now there's Ghost Leviathans at the Grand Reef and Northern Blood Kelp Forest entrances.

>>387799504
Arg, 2 more months until I can finally replay this game. I've been stopping myself from playing so I can appreciate the game better when all the features are in and the game goes out of EA. The waiting is insufferable.

>>387799672
When did you play it last?

>>387795657
So should I play the game now or wait more?

I haven't played a second of this game yet.

>>387800810
The final portion, building the Rocket to escape, isn't implemented yet, so wait a bit more.

>>387798201
somebody tried already?

I wish wreckage or whatever would infinitely spawn around the aurora. There needs to be an infinite titanium source

>>387802663
In reality the aurora itself is a near infinite source of titanium. But you can't cut chunks off it.

>you can't actually install 6 mods on the cyclops
How do you fuck this up?

I just started this game last week

I torrented it and it already had all this stuff in it, I think I was playing the 'Experimental' build (52000something)

It's an amazing game and I will buy it the next time it goes on sale

Also my base has a nasty bug, I tried out the cameras in the scanner room and when I put them back in their slots to charge the energy consumption went through the roof. Although fully charged, the cameras drained 10k power in seconds. I just don't use them now

Buy now and recieve Cutefish companion at release!

>>387812762
>"cute"fish isn't even cute
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM

Man, the Reaper Leaviathan, Dragon Leviathan and Sea Emperor have probably some of the worst designs in this game, those tiny arms and goofy faces just don't cut it for me.

This new ghost leviathan looks cool enough tho, if anyone can take a picture ingame that'd be cool to see.

>>387813921
Also I really was hoping they would go bigger when I heard a dev say the sea emperor was going to be massive. It's big but I really want a pant pissing experience for your biggest creature.

>can't even access the mods and storage of the prawn suit when it's sitting
Did they test this before pushing it through?

>>387813379

I would pay $100 for this game if I could just lan it or multiplay it with my mate, I'm never able to stay entertained playing survival games solo, sucks they're never adding it

SURVIVORS

>>387817196
Why do you care about the political opinions of the developers?
Are you willing to pass on a great game because his views differ from your own?

>>387817196
One of the devs cried about the Sandy Hook thing so no guns allowed.

>>387817196
It's not like they use the money of the sales to sponsor anti gun commercials.

>>387817196
As long as I can lasso a leviathan and drill his face until he dies I could care less about guns.
The stasis rifle is already quite helpful, even when the knife is useless.

>>387817196
either way, the game is improved by the lack of traditional firearms
all of the medium sized predators would be completed neutered if they added guns, and they're weak enough as is

Do I need to start a new game or will this all be available in my current one?

>>387817163
Maybe, but I wouldn't count on it.

>>387817685
It's all compatible with your old save

>>387817196
you can use a knife to kill the creatures around you so the devs are retarded.

and of course there's where my save is at

>>387817326
>Why do you care about the political opinions of the developers?
Because I unironically believe that liberal gun rights are the most important indicator of a free, mature society.
>Are you willing to pass on a great game because his views differ from your own?
Yes. At 20 bucks the game is pretty cheap even for my shitty 2nd world salary, but I'm not going to support someone with fundamentally different values from my own, not even with 20 dollars.

>>387814906
Playing with a friend would honestly just ruin the experience. You wouldn't feel the same anxiety/dread of exploring some creepy looking area alone as compared to with a friend. You would crack jokes and goof around instead.

>>387817919
>the others came but played alone
well yeah cause there's no multiplayer yet

>>387817196
The only people that is actually bringing up that comment anymore is /v/. Everyone else, including the developer who posted that comment, has not referenced that comment any more. That alone should tell you how little they cared about it.

>>387818302
There is already creative mode so, why not?

>>387818275
It was ONE dev. ONE person. Everybody laughed in his face and put in multiple ways to kill everything, shit you can kill the SEA DRAGON LEVIATHAN by punching/drilling him enough. Guns aren't in the game because they'd make it boring, if all I need to do is swim around and shoot every single creature dead then where's the challenge, where's the anxiety, where's the FUN?

>>387817196
If I recall correctly, that outcry was from just one of the devs. The only other reasons would be for the sake of not looking like dicks for immediately shutting down a pc comment and for the sake of keeping gameplay the way it is.

>>387818573
If you just want to build a base with a friend, there are tons of other games that does that. This game excels in the single player campaign format.

>>387818568
Listen, this dev threatens our way of life and our freedoms with his not letting us mow down fish with AK-47s in a video game, and I and the rest of /v/ and /pol/ will not rest until he is publicly ashamed and forever stigmatized by his words and deeds.

>>387818851

>>387817641
>>387817567
Oh I'm fine with the game as it is. So harppon gun to pick off bone sharks while out of the vehicle would make the better imo, but it's not that big a deal.
It's the political commentary that annoys me.

>>387818302
While this is true, it could be something to do only after having experienced the single player at least once. Not only that, but there's probably a demographic of people who get spooked too easily to enjoy the game, so multiplayer might rectify that.

>>387818983
He's joking you fucking retard

>>387819084
Propulsion Cannon + Crashfish = exploded Bone sharks. Five of them kills a Reaper Leviathan. And stop being upset about ONE person's political whining.

lol why do you play this game just watch markiplier

>>387819431
How's the damage compare to a deep shroom?

>>387819375
Are you sure? I mean, let's be honest here, after a certain 'incident', can you really tell who's joking and who isn't anymore?

>>387819343
Or they would just play something else. I mean, it's a deep sea survival game. That alone should tell people all they need to know about it. Getting scared and wanting to tone down the anxiety attacks would defeat the whole purpose of the game. It's like complaining a horror game is too scary.

Not entirely wrong, they have Mesmers ingame remember that

>>387819813
While there is an association, oceanic settings aren't entirely scary. The deep ocean isn't the only part of the ocean. Subnautica doesn't take place entirely in the deep ocean, as it has shallow areas (relatively speaking next to stuff like the grand reef or blood kelp forests). There are games with ocean settings that are almost entirely about serene visuals, which subnautica kinda caters to with bioluminesence, vibrant colors, and some sound design. There are tense moments in the game, like running into things like stalkers and sandsharks, but it doesn't really tap into the core of deep sea horror until you run into leviathans or go into deeper, darker areas. Also, there aren't any fleshed-out ocean games that have aliens and stuff (at least any that are well-known), so you're kinda shit out of luck if you want that.

Some people are pretty good, so the lines between baiting and genuine question are a bit blurred. He kinda sounded like he'd be willing to play (which would sorta support the game I guess) if he knew it was just one guy on the team, so I let him know.

>>387821415
Not really. I mean, you can argue that horror games doesn't need to be scary and be right somehow, but then why would you? I mean, this game is shaping up to be the game that /v/ has been asking for in any deep sea thread that had pop up once every so often. Now having it go and do the opposite seems counter-productive.

>>387821598
Gather two Crashfish eggs and stick them into the Alien Containment. After a bit you'll have a bunch of Crashfish swimming around, gather up all but two of them and go out Reaper-hunting. Gasopod spores don't work very well against anything leviathan-sized.

>>387795657
>Bonehsarks, River Prowlers, and Lava Lizards will no longer attack and damage the Cyclops

Let's hope they just forgot to mention Stalkers. It would be kinda weird if they skipped over them and they'd be a pain in the ass if they did. Not that I'd entirely mind though, the whole "feed them peepers" gimmick is pretty boring and useless. At least they'd have something going on that matters.

Thoughts on Plantet Nomads? The Subnautica in spess.

>>387821590
Well, thanks for giving me a serious answer. If it's just one of the devs and it isn't the stated opinion of the whole team, that's not so bad.

Have they said how close we are to release version? Last update I played added the array station in lost river, but I have finished the game so many times that I want to wait until it is complete to play again. Trying not to fully burn myself on it before it is actually out.

>>387822108
First time I've heard of it, guess I'll go look it up.

>ghost leviathan now spanws at grand reef and lost river

H-how do I get anywhere now. I'm too scared to even enter grand reef now or go to the floating island because I know its right under me.

>>387822245
Last I heard full release was scheduled to October 31st.

>>387822186
>>387822213
Thank fuck. I've held off on playing until 1.0, so I didn't know. Guess that was pretty stupid of me tho.

>>387822332
It's okay anon, Ghost Leviathans are cute.

>>387822348
september now

>>387822315
It's quite "new". It's sadly an early access title aswell

>>387822332
The two in the Grand Reef are at about 250 meters to the SW and SE of the Floating Island, with the only ground even close being a couple of spires of rock. You'll likely never even see them unless you go looking for them or are tooling around at that depth for some reason.

The Ghost Leviathan in the Northern Blood Kelp Forest, however, will be a pain because he patrols just outside the Lost River's Ghost Forest entrance.

>>387822574
and by september I mean november, totally know my months guys, not a retard I swear

heard something about taking 3 full months without updates to focus solely on optimization

>>387822582
Yeah, I'll just wait and see how that one turns out. That is if it ends up going anywhere.

>>387822348
>>387822574
>>387822673

Thanks guys. Did they ever fix the issue where you had to clear your cache after about 7 hours playing to fix the lag?

Anyone gone to the void now and seen whether the ghost leviathans infest it wholly or just in a few places?

>>387822673
>they're focusing more on optimization
good, I recently got a 1080 and I can't run this game at 120 fps which made me sad
here's hoping they manage to squeeze out every drop of performance from this game

>>387822823
I haven't faced much lag in the 15 hours I have in the game.
Even in the most populated areas I do relatively fine, so my guess it yes.

They're baking the terrain into a single piece (finally) and they even hired people specifically to optimize and clear out a TON of old useless code.

>>387823142
Alienn technologies, duh.

You guys really need to head to the grand reef, lost river, and the edge of the map. There are some really cool new creatures there, that are totally friendly as well. I found it awesome, hope you guys do it too!

>>387823060
This was before the other dev went on a rant about daily school shootings and people buying automatic weapons with ease.

>>387823060
This would be nice if there were actual mechanics like what he states in his example. But instead it's a stasis rifle and a knife, and that's it until you get the drill arm. Then it's just the drill. There is no variety to killing, it's just more tedious than if there were guns/lethal projectiles.

Besides we all already know it's a political statement about gun violence, they've already been on record about it in the past. This is just flimsy justification being done in an attempt to appease people.

I don't care if it's a gun or boulders or whatever, give us a way to kill shit that isn't utterly tedious.

>>387823060
>He doesn't realise that biology and naturalism began by killing animals and studing the features of said specimens and placing them in museums

>>387823407
Shall I post that long list of ways you can kill things in Subnautica once again?

>>387822980
>>387823120
Sounds like it was fixed. The last time I played areas that you had looted would become extremely laggy until you cleared the cache and respawned all the items.

>>387823423
again, he isn't saying you shouldn't kill stuff, he's saying they wanted to implement creative tools you can use to kill stuff in interesting ways instead of just clicking them with a gun until they die

>>387823407
I largely agree but going on a 10-minute match with the Sea Dragon where you latch onto it and drill into its skull was kind of fun.

>>387823423
nigga you aint there to look at shit you gotta eat shit, get cured, and get out

hello. is this an interesting game? i saw some streams. i don't like cartoon graphics but like to explore.

>>387823727
If you like exploration and the underwater setting, it is a lot of fun. Spooky as fuck sometimes too.

>>387823727
A 8/10 underwater exploration game that will easily turn into a 9/10 when it releases.

>>387823727
Its a good exploration game because it isn't procedurally generated, but instead has one large 'hand-crafted' map with lots of depth
There are lots of little caves and wrecks to discover, and a good amount of them have vehicle/device blueprints or furniture to scan so you can add them to your own bases
Also, it has 10/10 swimming controls, any first person game with swimming you'll try to play after this one will feel clunky and slow

>>387823673
It was meant to be just a counterpoint to the "he is a scientist" argument.
If you want that the player is more creative than press RMB to kill or that he has it harder if he goes that way just say so. No need fot mental gymnastics.

>>387822898
I got gang banged by ghost leviathans going out into the void.

Killed my cyclops too.

>>387824049
it did in the past when your only options for getting food/water was to go hunt fish in the wild, and it seemed like the fish population would thin out around your base so you'd have to go further and further each time
now you can farm plants that give you both food and water, you can have a purified water generator, and you can have fishtank 'farms' full of edible fish to just pluck out, cook, and eat

>>387824049
You have a shit load of content to explore: multiple biomes with different fauna/flora, cool vehicles and story.
I'd say just pirate the current build like I did and give it a try.

>>387823629
Fun yes, but 10 minutes every single time I want to kill something isn't fun anymore.

>>387823502
Are there any on that list that aren't incredibly gimmicky or situational kills? Anything on it that's reliable and simple enough to not be considered a hassle every time? Not trying to shitpost, genuinely asking here.

>>387824325
Okay, that was the only time I tried it, after that I just tried to avoid them.

>>387824283
>>387824320
when it will be released?

>>387824524
Current release date is in September

>>387824325
-Seamoth Perimeter Defense System that kills nearly every non-Leviathan in at most three hits
-simply ramming things with the Seamoth a few times
-ramming with the Cyclops
-Propulsion Cannon with Crashfish/Deep Shroom ammo
-PRAWN Drill Arm
-PRAWN standard arm
-Gas Torpedo
-Repulsion Cannon into a wall or the ground
-Survival Knife

>>387824037
Here i am friendly recommending a very pleasant, enjoyable and nice thing that will improve your sense of exploration and fun. Why be hostile

>>387824640
Correction, October 31st. It says so on their Trello roadmap and even on the steam store page.

>>387824972
>-Seamoth Perimeter Defense System that kills nearly every non-Leviathan in at most three hits
>-simply ramming things with the Seamoth a few times
>-ramming with the Cyclops
Best options by far

>-Propulsion Cannon with Crashfish/Deep Shroom ammo
Too situational, you can't store the ammo in any way, so you literally can only do it when those creatures are in the vicinity.

>-PRAWN Drill Arm
Decent, but tedious like I said before

>-PRAWN standard arm
Even more tedious

>-Gas Torpedo
>-Repulsion Cannon into a wall or the ground
These are fine

>-Survival Knife
Piss for damage, guaranteed to take damage yourself from 90% of the things you fight unless you stun them with something else first. Takes forever to kill anything that isn't a basic fish.

Overall not entirely terrible, but pretty much all the effective methods of doing damage require you to be in a vessel. There needs to be something more viable for open water exploration, and I would be satisfied.

>there's an infinite source of copper
>and lithium
>and even iron crystals
>but not titanium
Why

>>387825652
Prawn propulsion cannon can "load" stuff from the prawns inventory to shoot at shit. I always put a few deep sea shrooms in there to get shit to fuck off.

>>387825886
what's the infinite source of copper?

>>387825967
Sea Treaders I'm guessing

>>387826132
sea treaders make poop that you can use as fertilizer though

>>387825967

they leave a trail of basalt outcrops, like 80% copper 20% lithium

don't know about any iron crystals

>>387825652
>you can't store the ammo in any way

You can store them the same way you store everything else, in your inventory. You can also mousewheel to scroll and reload quickly.

>>387826417
It's called using a propulsion cannon

>>387826417
Look at the ship. Pretend that the engines or whatever are facing north. Head northwest. If you can see a giant fog bank/cloud that's your destination. There's an island there with a lot of good shit you want there.

>>387826231
does that mean they're going to nerf plant growth?
apart from the nogunz shit, the ridiculously fast hunger / thirst meter was my other problem with the game, and marblemelons solved that

>>387826429
oh, okay
i was kind of hoping you'd say there's a replenishing source of aluminium oxide
doesn't metal salvage respawn though?

>>387825886

>>387826719
yeah, for the first part it's catching fish with your bare hands

>>387826686
>>387826741
If it does I don't notice it

WHEN THE FUCK are they going to fix the Scanner Room's UI?
half the time i load up the game and it only shows 2 or three resources, and even when it's full, it's guaranteed it won't list the resource i presently need

>>387826719
Make a small base, put a tank in it. Grab two fishes of the same specie and put them in the tank.

Infinite fishes.

>>387827060
technically you're still catching them by hand
and the alien containment is kind of a late-game item

That makes no sense whatsoever. I won't deny the possibility of that just being you going "all these sheeple are so fucking stupid, they're doing all these mental gymnastics to convince themselves that everything is backwards, but I'm above it all because I am le epic intellectual who is smarter than everyone ever," but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I can't really give anyone too much shit for it with how things are.

Subnautica was intended to be like a mix of a nice, pretty ocean and the gritty, anus-clenching deep sea experience that /v/ was asking for. I feel like the goal was for the game world to be majestic, but terrifying at the same time. The safe shallows introduce you to how the game works and eases you into the world before you reach the deeper areas, eventually reaching the bigger and scarier stuff. In down time, you're surrounded by a bunch of bioluminescent critters and plants among various neato geological structures, but the rest of the time is being stalked and attacked by big alien fuckers in deep, dark oceans when shit needs to get done. That's probably what their vision was, anyways.

Thankfully, there may eventually be an alternative that's closer to the "EVERYTHING IS DARK AND THERE'S WATER AND SCREECHING HELP" experience that /v/ is looking for called The Deep. The dev posts about how things are going on their tumblr, their username is neetdev.

Other than requiring effort from the devs, adding a multiplayer mode wouldn't harm anything. It's optional, and most people can probably figure out that it would be less scary that way. The single player experience would still be intact and players could still get their spooks from there. Multiplayer lets more people to play what they're in the mood for and possibly increase sales because of it. It would also make the fact that "alien ocean survival" is a niche genre suck less.

And this is what the Rule 63 version will be.

Went to the lost river with cyclops via the grand reef entrance which was suprisingly pleasant as all the dook-dooks we're off somewhere. Met the juvenile ghost leviathan and accidentally rammed it, as a vengeance it attacked my cyclops to almost a breaking point. Now I'm at the big tree and its as comfy as ever.

Any changes as far as VR goes? In particular, all the ways piloting the cyclops fucked with orientation.

>>387799309
I know the feeling. Took me like 5 hours to even wander out into the kelp forest 100ft from the lifepod. Definitely gets easier as you stick with it.

>>387826996
Just go the jungle where those nigger sharks bring them. That or the lost river or probably some other areas as well seems to have several big nodes of titanium now.

>>387817919
Can someone state how far back this is?
Because I had just completed the whole story chain before putting the game down, and don't want to go back down the lost river with the ghost leviathan in there. Are warpgates still active?

Why does everything look so small in this game? Leviathans are supposed to be bigger than anything on earth but ingame they don't give off that feeling at all.

>>387828885
I'd actually prefer if they just kept the white void for a face

>>387822362
Even in the seamoth just ramming them is enough to reboot their animation cycle and make them warp off.

What else would you like to see in the game? Honestly I want more spooky creatures, something ever bigger than the current ones and maybe some new nice biomes.

It's just buggier now, and a bunch of my blueprints are gone, and it still runs like ass.

>>387826417
>realize i have to chase fishes around and apparently grab them bare handed
I mean, that's a thing people do in real life too. "Exotic" fish tend to be less scared of people and can be caught by hand without much effort.

>>387831345
I'd love something like an ice biome.

>>387831345
A greater variety of regular fish. It's fine when you're just going around grabbing them for food, but now that I'm working on aquariums and exploring more I'd like to see at least half a dozen more split among the biomes. Biomes would be cool, but the game's at a pretty good size already. I mostly just want more story reasons to go to different areas, more little audio diaries and the like from people who have been surviving for a bit and going on their own explorations. It doesn't need to feel lived-in, but my biggest problem with these types of games always ends up being a lack of incentive or direction.

>>387829805
If I recall correctly, there isn't much yet. I imagine it won't just be earth fish but big. There's a big fucker with human teeth on the front page. It's weird, but at least it isn't just a shark with a weird color or something.

>>387832014
An arctic biome is one of the three they've got planned for the expansion.

>>387828885
What the fuck, really? You just killed some part of the game for me, anon. It would be better if they made him wear the helmet forever.

>>387832072
This, I have basically no reason to ever go to leviathan territory other than fixing the Aurora reactors and the getting cured. A wider variety of small fish would definitely make the world feel a bit more organic and make aquariums better

>>387832072
>but my biggest prob0lem with these types of games always ends up being a lack of incentive or direction.
Same, honestly I didn't have any problem building the cyclops and the prawn suit and my base was self sufficient even without going into the deepest biomes or the caves.

>>387795657
Anyone knows if I can torrent the new update yet? I've downloaded the game before but I couldn't make myself leave the escape pod after five minutes of game because I'm scared to death of the ocean. I want to try and play it again tho

Also have they finished the story content?

>>387832957
It came out earlier today, so probably not. At least I don't see anything.

Story isn't finished yet, but odds are there's enough content to hold you over for the month and a half or so left until final release.

I'm terrified of the ocean too, but it gets a lot easier as time goes on. The starting area is pretty safe, don't feel bad if you need to stay there for a few hours and just collect things before you feel comfortable going further.

>>387833416
Thanks. I remember the Aurora exploding or something like that, should I check it out before or after it does?

>>387833416
Not him, and not actually scared of the ocean, but that planet feels so alive, and so full of creatures, and their sounds are so strange that I couldn't go as far as 100 mts for a long time. Then, when I finally got the balls to explore more, I found those fishes that are like homming missiles and noped for at least 10 food minutes.

>>387833710
After, but you'll need a radiation suit first, a repair tool, a laser gun and somethinf to travel fast.

Is it true that the seamoth get oneshotted by those exploding fishes now? Ive read someone complaining about it on the forum

>>387833710
After, build yourself up before messing around there too much. Once you decide to, go straight to the side of the Aurora, then hug that side while working your way to the rear end (the part further from your lifepod) until you find an entrance (you won't have to go underwater to find it). There are big creatures around the front and some other parts that you can avoid by doing this, which is probably a good idea when you aren't too comfortable with the setting yet.
