If I have two multipurpose rooms on top of each other with an alien containment in each, am I allowed to have 20 fish in the merged tank?

We do have a Subnautica thread, by the way.

I just put about 20 hours into Subnautica and I think that's all I'm going to get out of it. Got a base, got a Cyclops, but I'm not feeling the urge to advance beyond the first part of the "plot". I'd still like a game with base building and defense and exploration, but I really do like the feeling in Subnautica of "I'm safe in my submarine, hanging out in the dark, crafting some stuff and figuring out what to do next."

Is there anything like that hanging around? Is the Forest worth playing in single-player? Is there a Space-nautica with space stations and poo poo?

Empyrion: Galactic Survival is a fun one. not worth $19.99, but definitely worth $10-15. I've got 30 hours in it and that's purely from solo play. If I had friends who were into this game, I'd easily rack up a hundred hours or more. It's got a bit of jankiness, but it's very playable and I enjoy it. Space survival game, with the added bonus of basebuilding not being an absolute ballache or grindfest.

I wish there was a perfect survival city-building game. Stronghold Crusader HD is a game I was incredibly hooked on, I loved everything about it, but it's not perfectly what I'm after this time around (more deforestation, more moulding the land to suit my own needs). I've played Banished, which was great, but felt shallow at times. I've played Life is Feudal: Forest Village, and the terraforming in the game absolutely ruins it for me, and it's extremely janky. I've played Ostriv, and that seemed great at first, but the fact it's a very early alpha, unbalanced as hell, and villagers can only carry tiny amounts at a time made me quit playing it very quick (I got tired of waiting all the time for resources to be moved, even using carts [which men can only push for some reason?] things took way too long). I loved the wage system though, made things interesting and I've not seen that as a game mechanic before.

Before someone recommends Rimworld (someone always recommends Rimworld), I've played it. Same with Kingdoms and Castles (too simplistic for me).

So are there any really nice, chill, fun city-building survival games out there? I love striking out into the wilderness and slowly turning a dense forest into a nicely laid out village.

One kind of unintuitive part of TLD is that starving is not nearly as bad as you might assume it is, and it's fine to be starving most of the time if you've got limited food. You burn calories faster when you're doing stuff like walking, running or any kind of work. If you're already at 0 you just start to slowly lose condition, but you'll get that condition back when you sleep, as long as you fill up on the necessary calories before bed. So basically, you should only eat right before you go to sleep, that's the most efficient way to use your calories. On stalker, this will keep you perfectly healthy with something like only 600-800 calories a day, provided you don't lose too much condition to something else

exploring is actually resource positive, but you need a vague idea of where to go. if youre just roaming aroudn you are obviously going to die. you should have tons of cat tail stalks at this point too

Episode 3 is pretty cool so far, much better than the first two eps imo (although I haven't tried the remastered versions). It introduces timber wolves who attack in packs and come with a new kind of mechanic where you have to reduce their overall morale to make them run off. Spices things up a bit. I also like that they've gotten rid of the whole charcoal mapmaking thing, at least for this episode. Never really cared for that.

I've started playing the base game Subnautica for the effectively-first time(first time was playing a couple hours of early access on a potato-quality computer, having my game crash, and losing any desire to start from scratch), which is accidentally perfect timing.

My sense of direction is incredibly rear end, which makes Subnautica interesting until you get to the point you can spam beacons everywhere. It also took me too long to realize the default base pieces aren't just hallways and you can actually put stuff in them, resulting in me having about 10 of the waterborne storage chests floating around the lifepod before I got to base building.

When you say "put it on the stove", do you mean you used the place button, or put it in the stove's inventory?

Tarezax posted:

It has to actually be in the stove's inventory to cook. No stovetop cooking in this game.

You know what's great in card survivor? You build a cellar, which makes food last longer, then you stick the clay pot cooler in the cellar and food in that and it will last for a long, long long time.

Wait the card game is on android?? I googled it and I didn't see ugh.

Edit: is it card survival tropical island?

Still playing Subnautica but I'm having problems remembering which areas I have explored or haven't yet, any tips?

Now that makes me interested - which survival games went through EA, were finished, and were better at the end than before? I think most that are considered good are eternally in EA.
