My lifepod is currently right above a reaper. What can I do to bring it back to the shallows? I still don't have a fabricator.

>>147111275
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but if you don't repair your lifepod quickly then it will start drifting away from its original location. I think you can push it back into position, but it may be easier to just restart.

>>147111405
Oh it's been fully repaired for a while. It still fucking drifts for no reason. And fuck, like two hours wasted.

>>147111476
Definitely a bug, then. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. Seems to be random, though, I've only had it happen once in five different games.

When is the Cute Fish going to be available? I want a creepy baby-sounding octoseal pet to bully

>>147111706
Likely not until the game launches. You can spawn them in Experimental Mode.

>>147111564
It was terrifying going from a colorful sandy bottom to fucking nothingness below me.

>>147111798
Once you make a base/Cyclops, you can honestly just abandon the lifepod to the whims of the wind and currents. No real reason to go back to it.

>>147111951
Not everything's in yet, especially the story elements.

>>147111980
Silver ore can be found in the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateau. Crack open the sandstone nodes.

>>147112276
I was never able to find the grassy plateau, only a huge drop off and two kelp forests. Was I going the wrong way? Also, never saw a sandstone node, only salt deposits and limestone deposits. I got scared by the stalkers, lol.

>>147112108
That sucks. Pirated works fine, but you can't get any updates, which come out quite often, and it's usually at least one major update behind.

You can find them in tunnels/caves

I've had the most luck looking in Kelp forrests.

Just get what you need to make a hab builder then a new fabricator.

Most base parts only need titanium/glass. Plus you'll want solar panels to power it.

Once you have that though you don't need the Life pod and can let it fuck right off

>>147112562
I found a super deep cave under some really big wreckage in the kelp forest. Is that where it is?

This should help. Just head north from the lifepod and you should find one of the two Grassy Plateaus, look for red grass and Reefbacks.

Damn, guess I'll just wait then. I dont wanna pirate from small devs anyway, they dont get too many sales as it is. Thanks :)

>>147112762
You're welcome. It's still early access, so it might be better to wait until launch anyway, there's still a lot to be put in and optimizing to do.

Name one creature more annoying than the Boneshark.

You can't

>>147114336
bonesharks are easy to ignore though unless you're just sensitive to sound

I'd say reaper leviathans are much worse simply for the death factor and possibly losing seamoth upgrades

>>147114615
Reapers are at least rare, those fuckers swarm everywhere, especially where there's stuff to scan. The only consolation is that a flare can keep them off your back for a couple of minutes.

>>147114615
If you have a repulsion field and hit them with it reapers will leave you alone.

Did he intend to make it scarier than horror games

Guns

Sell me on this game

>>147111476
Craft some pipes and build a ring to fence it in, that will keep it from drifting.

I don't think it's supposed to drift, but since it's movable even the tiniest phantom forces will eventually push it.
When I first started I went on a trip away from the pod for a couple days, and came back to find it had somehow drifted 1.5km away, almost out of visual of the Aurora.

>>147111951
Pod 17 is on one of the rocky outcrops in the shallows. Sort of Southeast of the starting area iirc.

>>147115471
One thing is for sure.
It wasn't intended to be scarier than Sandy Hook.

>>147112562
Silver is most easily found in the grassy plateaus. You just have to keep an eye out for sandsharks.

>>147115471
Once you start finding and crafting the stasis rifle, propulsion/repulsion gun, and torpedoes and defense system for the Seamoth it becomes a lot less scary. Except for the Reapers.

>>147115584
It's not finished at the moment, but when it launches the story will be ooky things in the depths imprisoned the largest beast in the sea and shot down your ship, taking away all the other survivors for something sinister. You're the only free survivor, finding logs from previous crashees while you craft things and build bases and vehicles to travel deeper and deeper until you reach the lair of the ones responsible.

You can get cozy with building bases that have a good amount of pieces variety and essentials and fluff, travel around the current map in your personal submarine, and explore down to 1700 meters and see all sorts of weird and spooky flora and fauna in a lot of different biomes, with more on the way.

Where are the rest of the Cyclops parts? Found the hull and 2/3rds of the bridge but cant seem to find any anymore. Is it also just the hull and bridge that makes up the cyclops?

>>147116416
Hull, bridge, and engine iirc.

You can look up which biome they spawn in on the wiki if you get tired of searching.

>>147117252

>>147117325
It's a work in progress. There's actually a lot of things they're working on.

Accumulator • Botanical Analysis Machine • Centrifuge • Vending Machine • Wall Shelves • Specimen Analyzer • Trash Cans • Lab Trash Can • Lab Counter • Bar Table • Single Wall Shelf • Starship Souvenir • Coffee vending machine

>>147116606
I'm currently building about 600m below the floating island. It's actually pretty peaceful down there once you shoo away the crabsquids. It's got nice geothermal energy too.

>>147112761
Wait wait, the map is the exact same for every game?
The fuck??

I was on the fence about getting it but now I know for sure I'll be avoiding it, holy fuck what a blunder

>>147117598
How much power does a Thermal power plant make? Haven't made one myself yet.

>>147117679
It's not a rogue-like or random dungeon generator-style game. The map's large enough and there's a big variety of biomes that you'll take a while exploring everything while you're going through the story.

someone have an extra copy they can gift me?

>not drinking your coffee black
Lol what a gay

Anyone else playing in VR?
The big red moon is an ENORMOUS fuckup, made laughably obvious in VR mode, it literally feels like a beachball two feet above the water, like you can swim up and grab it. It's incredibly disorienting and surreal, don't know how they managed to do that.

>>147117935
It's not a moon, it's the sister planet. The water world is part of a binary-planet orbit.

>>147117809
I think the rate varies depending on the proximity to the heat source. I'm not totally sure though. I've been using just one so far, but my base isn't that large yet.
Nice thing is that they require no fuel and work 24/7.

>>147117935
The only enormous fuckup here is Sandy Hook.

>>147118036
Just looked it up, and it has a low power cap but very fast recharge rate, so that's good for a smaller base. Don't know if you can have more than one working together.

The Nuclear power plant is going to be interesting, since you have to craft uranium rods and have to deal with depleted rods. Maybe with the upcoming "creatures can attack your bases" update using the Nuclear plant has a chance to attract a Reaper Leviathan.

>>147117935
I think it's just the lighting and lack of haze/atmosphere scattering on it. It would probably help if it orbited slower too.
I haven't bothered to study it's orbit, but I don't imagine the devs were too worried about accurate celestial mechanics.

I was thinking it would be super cool if it's tidal forces affected the sea level though. It would be interesting to have some areas that are only above water during low tide.

So I played this yesterday and it was fine.
Suddenly, I'm playing today and I'm getting such huge framerate drops that it's basically unplayable.
Can't figure out what's causing this.
It was fine yesterday.
Thoughts?

>>147118383
Yea I believe you can build multiples of them just like solar. You build them outside the base, so you can just plop them down near the vents.

>>147118515
Tides and currents would be cool, as well as weather.

>storms and hurricanes can damage and destroy anything you have in the shallows
>crafting materials become easier to find after a storm because they were stirred up from the seabed
>some creatures become more/less aggressive because of the disturbances

>>147118598
you have to tic on vsync each time or it'll try going above 60 fps

>>147118515
>I was thinking it would be super cool if it's tidal forces affected the sea level though.

Nigger if it were realistic, there would hundreds feet tall waves with a fucking moon that close.

>>147119695
Yea I know, but it doesn't have to be completely realistic. It's not hard sci-fi.

Plus it's an alien system, so you could always just say we don't know the density of the sister-planet.

>>147119695
It's a planet.

They really need to nerf the plants. Cut their food and water value by at least 1/3, or have them be high in one but low in the other. Literally all you need right now is one growbed and a few trees and you're set for life.

>>147118818
That didn't seem to do anything.
Thanks though.

You can only build them when the indicator turns green, so just try to get it to stop at a height you want it at, or find a better spot.

Should I build scanner rooms? I heard that theres a bug that disables ambient noise.

>>147128441
Yrah, that's a thing at the moment. When it gets fixed the scanner room will be useful as it lets you scan for resources, and it has cameras you can explore with.

>>147128441
No, but that's not the reason. Their only functionality is exploring with probes within 500m, and pointing out local resources. As good as that sounds, it's not really that useful.

>>147136020
Alright so I'm trying to build a containment tank, but I can't build it where I want it for seemingly no reason. My base currently has 2 multipurpose rooms and one glass corridor connecting them. I can build the tank in the first room, but I cannot build it in the second. Does anybody know what the problem might be? I'm sure it is something stupid on my part.

>>147137218
they can only go in the middle of a multipurpose room, and if there are multiple rooms stacked with more containments they merge into a bigger one

>>147137287
I figured out what the problem was, there was another glitched invisible multipurpose room halfway inside the multipurpose room I was trying to place it in. Weird bug.

How do I manage to strengthen my base enough so it doesn't instantly rupture and flood? I tried reinforcements and it didn't seem to do jack shit.

>>147139180
Foundations or reinforcement panels.

The tooltips on each module tell you how much HP they give or take, as long as you're above 1.0HP you won't rupture.

>>147139246
I put in like 50 panels and it literally didn't seem to do jack shit and gave the exact same warning.

Looking to pick this game up in the Steam sale, and I know pretty much nothing about it. Is the game focused 100% on the underwater gameplay, or are there landmasses? How much content is there at the moment? Is there combat at all?

This or The Forest in vegetarianmode?

>>147139321
It is centered around underwater gameplay. There are landmasses, but underwater is where you are going to be 95% to 100% of the time. Combat is limited, it is better to swim away from things. Content is great for at least 4 hours.

>>147139180
>>147139246
You should also note you need to fix any ruptures that happen with the weld tool even after strengthening.

If you don't then your base will stay flooded even though the integrity is above what you need.

Also bulkhead doors let you lock off any areas that breach so you can have at least some of your base still running.

>>147139460
I fixed everything up and have bulkhead doors all over already. Guess I'll try adding foundations

>having a base 9m deep

>>147146305
It's just my comfy base that I started with. I'm currently building a new one at 500m.

I'm trying to find a nice deep place to settle, roaming around in my cyclops doing so. Blood kelp and grand reef have been no goes so maybe koosh zone?

According to everyone else the lifepod is supposed to drift a lot but I don't see this happening. Sure I repair the pod fairly quickly but even while its still broken for an ingame week it stays where it needs to be.

What I do notice is that sometimes when I'm in the pod and crafting something while standing too close to the fabricator, the pod will seem to shift in the world just a tiny bit. It's repaired now, but it is noticeably moving away inch-by-inch from my cloud of floating lockers.

I guess I could try picking up all my lockers and dumping them inside the pod. They're so heavy it could probably anchor the thing in place.

>>147147275
build a ring of pipes around it to fence it in

>>147137135
Check graphics settings, turn down from Experimental back to Recommended. Restart game after doing that just to be extra careful.

>>147145873

>>147152607
It does. Too much salt, sometimes. They need more crafting recipes that use salt.

They should add a seamoth upgrade so you can give it little arms to gather things without exiting it

>>147153365
That's what the Exosuit is for.

>>147153484
where the fuck is the exosuit
where will its fragments be?

>>147153753
it's only spawnable in the experimental version afaik

>>147153753
Not implemented yet, but it's nearing completion. Dunno where its fragments will be, but since it's the last vehicle you can get and it's needed to reach the deepest levels and fight off the biggest threats it'll likely be scattered in one of the deeper biomes.

>>147152262
Play League of Legends :^)

>>147154093
But if the exosuit is the only way to grab shit without leaving a submersible and I get to red diving depths, how will I scan shit without dying when depth damage or w/e is finally implemented?

>>147154246
The DNA Infuser might be how, inject yourself with some DNA that increases your resistance to pressure and decreases your oxygen consumption.

>>147154352
what if I wish to remain a pure human? I'm still up shit creek without a paddle if I can't scan shit past a certain depth

>>147154603
I don't know, then. I doubt that it'll be so deep that you can't exit the Seamoth or Cyclops for a few seconds to scan the fragments.

>>147154790
>have seamoth enhanced to go past its crush depth

The Seamoth should also be able to pick things up with little robot hands honestly.
But I think the exosuit and seamoth should be able to scan things. Being down too deep would/should kill you instantly

The rebreather really doesn't seem to be doing anything for me.

Does it do anything, or did I make something that's useless?

You can also place a fabricator, battery charger and possibly growbeds inside. Super neat for long trips away from base.

Anyone else purposefully avoid using the trees for food and water? Way too overpowered, the food part should be drastically lowered because fruit may be a good source of water but it's not a good source of any actual food value.

>>147154887
>>147155938
Diver here. You're mostly made out of water so having similar density to the environment makes pressure not that big of a deal for you.

There are billion things that can kill you underwater, but pressure on its own will be the last of them.

>>147162235
How deep can a human go unprotected before the pressure becomes too great? Also, nitrogen narcosis, the bends, and other problems occur because of pressure.

>>147153212
This is actually pretty realistic considering current technology trends of making thinks dumbed down to the limits and easy to use for retards

>>147162396
Yes, but those problems start at 10 meters, so what I'm saying is - if the game already ignores nitrogen narcosis, oxygen narcosis and the bends there is not much difference for a human between 40 meters and 300 meters, because crashing is only a problem if you have lower pressure on the inside of something, like in the Seamoth.

Current record for depest scuba dive (without some kind of suit or a vehicle) is 332 meters.

>>147162871
Hmm, that makes sense, then. If the devs know about that then we will likely see all of the vehicle and equipment materials we need to scan above that margin. The Rebreather will allow us to remain above that depth without losing air faster and faster to collect them and work on bases and such.

But also, with temperature becoming a thing later on, we'll likely also have to worry about the coldness of the deep water and the heat from the lava areas and black smokers, so there's that for also limiting our stay unprotected in the depths.

If they do put in multiplayer, the bottom one is what I want for a multi-person submarine.

I'd also like a version of the Seamoth that's torpedo-shaped for speed and with manipulator arms that emerge from the front. Since it would be smaller and lighter and solely for speed and dexterity it wouldn't be able to mount weapons or defenses, which means you'd have to use its speed and agility to evade danger.

but then I also want to make an attachment to the escape pod that would put a compartment/floor beneath the escape pod itself that can be entered via ladder and exited via normal floor hatch, being a bit more spacious than the escape pod itself with more potential for windows and spider leg movement along the ocean floor.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING MAN?

Deciding between this and elite for my summer sale game, does this game have good atmospheric music/sounds or will I be muting dubstep and providing my own OST?

Also will it take a while to explore everything? I'm more in it for the comfy but can't tell how big the world is really.

And any ETA on an official launch? Posts like >>147128084 make me think it's better to wait for release.

Someone give a noob the rundown of what i should do very early game to not die horribly.

Do you just start exploring and grabbing shit? What should I prioritize?

>>147174578
I have a 550 ti, 8 gab ram, and an i5

There's some stuttering every now and then but after things load it's fine.

Need to upgrade, and found out I can pop a card that requires a pci 3.0 into a 2.0 with minimal loss. Looking forward to it.

Not a lot of music, you only get a couple seconds of some at random it seems like.
Sounds are great.
I haven't checked myself, but an anon said it's planned to release in august.
I think after a couple hours you should be able to explore a bit. I've been too scared to explore much, but I know the world is pretty big, and deep.

>>147184441
Oh August? That's pretty soon then, neat.
Been wanting to hear some of the sounds but also want to go in without any spoilers so I've been avoiding the wiki and jewtube so far.
The music on the steam vids made me a lil nervous though, glad to hear there's not music all the time, thanks anon.

Do I have to be that weird looking black/asian guy from the steam vids?
Do you ever even see your character in game?

>>147186321
You only see yourself neck down or in your shadow.

Drexciya is the superior music to play during Subnautica

Take it from an /edg/ poster: Elite is a mixed bag. It's good if you like comfy spess trucking, and there's a good 20-40 hour honeymoon phase where the only emotion you have room for is HOLY CRAP SPACE IS AWESOME, but then the grind starts to kick in. It's grindier than a Korean MMO, making it a tragically beautiful but ultimately shallow game.

It's not a bad game, really, it just falls short of its potential. Subnautica, on the other hand, is cheap as fuck right now and gets meaningful content added to it on a nearly monthly basis.

Job 1: Equip yourself. Gather scrap metal, quartz, and creepvine seeds so you can turn them into titanium, glass, and silicone. Then turn that shit into a knife, a tank, and flippers. Next up is copper (limestone chunks) and acid mushrooms for batteries. Keep any lead you find while searching for copper, you'll need it soon. The first device you should build is the scanner, which will let you scan shit to unlock more technology. Solar panels or bioreactor is priority #1, both found in the shallows and the kelp forest. Now venture into the kelp forests and find sandstone chunks for silver, which lets you build computer chips, required for the habitat builder. Once you have the habitat builder establish a base (must be powered to have oxygen, just build a solar panel near it outside or a bioreactor inside and fill it with plants or fish).

From there, just search for shit to scan while you explore, then come home to your base when you need some comfy to balance out the terror of the deep.

Am in it mostly for the comfy space trucker gig honestly, I played Oolite for so many hours and loved it.
Comfy sealab sounds good too though.
ALL the games out now that I'm playing/considering that aren't an AAA release seem like they fall short of their potential and are early access/forever beta.
And Subnautica seems worth $20, plus I buy the $20 steam cards retail so the fact that ED would cost me more later might be my reason to get it today.
Thanks for your post, anon.
I'm not adverse to grind, but reviews make it seem like the latest update kills the new player experience.

>I'm not adverse to grind, but reviews make it seem like the latest update kills the new player experience.

I honestly don't know why people bitch so much about 2.1. It's not that bad. The worst shit in it is the severe grind and RNG bullshit the Engineers adds, and the new AI already got rolled back because people bitched so much about it. Personally I'd be fine with better AI if it didn't fucking cheat. Full hull and weapons every time they interdict you, turning on a dime in a ship that should handle like a pregnant elephant, etc. etc.

Honestly, if you do get Elite, I'd recommend playing with a HOTAS for the best experience. A gamepad or kbm can work, but if you really want that spaceship feeling a HOTAS is a must. Even a cheap one.

>>147189884
Why is there no save function? Am i missing something? The fuck is this shit

>>147189884
Good to know, was seeming like they were casual/millennial/pleb/whatever.
Glad to hear an anon's perspective.

HOTAS seem really neat and would add to immersion besides just being a superior input device. Can you use it in Subnautica too?

This game hasn't helped me conquer my fear of the ocean; whenever I have to jump into murky dark water I freak the fuck out and hesitate a lot before just doing it.
I still enjoy it a lot and once I'm in the water and near the ocean floor it isn't so bad.

>>147190301
You save automatically when you log off. It's an instanced MMO, technically.

I can't buy it even during the sale but I may be able to later, for now I'm pirating it. How often does it update? About as much as Space Engineers?

if you find a decent torrent please spoonfeed me,i don't understand why mine is really slow

>he doesnt know about raw vegans
Either way if you eat several pounds of fruit and veggies a day youre a fag.

>>147161076
Just don't use them then? Just raise some fish in a tank and set up a water filter in the base.

Building a base right now in the koosh zone, I just need a shit ton more glass to get where I want to be. That back section is going to be all glass with a large tank going through it and some choice herbivores

Is it true that reapers can glitch-pull you while you're in your Cyclops?

>>147134851
Where is that?

>>147196604
He cant do much while you are in the cyclops he can try and push you down but it's very easy to vroom vroom past him. And I havent encountered any reapers that were around the starting max depth for the cyclops anyways. They usually ignore cyclops.

I want wine and fancy suits to be items in game so I can sip the wine and look dapper while I pilot a sub nemo style

Also judging by that concept art the cyclops was intended to be a lot bigger originally, look at the guy in there.

Why'd they change it?
