Yeah salt+coral can be turned into bleach which is then converted into purified water. Purified water gives twice as much h2o as the ones you get from airsacs iirc

Speaking of power, am I correct in assuming there is no way to make it prioritize your self sustaining/natural power supplies? Or at least not dip into a reactor until until you somehow run everything else dry at that moment? Without purifiers, I'd feel wasteful installing a nuke plant on my newbie base once I find the plans, just because it would dip into it with absolutely no need to every moment I'm below max power. Even with purifiers too, most likely, once I get around to ever placing thermal plants and relays to my newbie base.

Get a nuclear reactor going, set up a bunch of water purifiers, throw the extras into a locker. You'll never run out.

Any guesses how long we'll have to wait before someone makes a mod to remove the Oxygen meter, so we can all pretend to be strangely high-tech merfolk?

Something made the escape pod start drifting away at high speed but not high enough to make me notice it until it ended up about 1600m from anywhere I've been. There's this giant stretch of open ocean between me and anything useful and I can only push it back in the right direction with my face at a rate of about half a meter per second. Should I start over

Supposedly you're able to repair the lifepod which activates its 'gravity anchor' which prevents it from drifting. However people have reported it still drifting after the repair. so V V

Digirat posted:Can I hatch these eggs if I just throw em in a creature habitat Yup. Takes a while, but they will hatch. For the big stuff, they will be smaller versions in the tank but puff out to full size when you release them in the wild. As a future heads up that caught me off guard (because nothing I looked up mentioned it). They will take up more space than they do in your inventory, when it comes to the Bioreactor. For example. Grabbing tank raised rabbitrays (worth 300 energy over time) or jellyrays (worth 600 over time), they take up 1 space each in your inventory. But on the 4x4 grid of the Bioreactor, Rabbitrays are 2x2, jellyrays are 3x3 (so you can only fit one of them). The main benefit over using them instead over food fish, is you need to pop new ones in less often if you want to keep filled to the brim.

Wait you can put fish into the bioreactor? I always assumed it was just plants given how it used to use mushrooms.

Less than an in-game day later, the pod was a tiny spec in the horizon. The next day it was completely gone.

HiKaizer posted:Wait you can put fish into the bioreactor? I always assumed it was just plants given how it used to use mushrooms. From what I've read (I'm much newer to the game myself) Fish is way better than plants for the bioreactor right now. Even peepers are worth 150. Reginalds are worth 220. Main thing the wiki doesn't list is how different things take up different amounts of space in the reactor, even when it's only 1 tile in your personal inventory. I expect a tank raised reefback baby probably takes up the whole grid  http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Bioreactor Please think of this song as you put your first fish into your reactor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3FLN0iQ9SQ&t=95s Since I still have very low power needs (AKA, Every base power drawing object known to man, EXCEPT water filters), it takes forever even to go through even a single Reginald in my newbie base unless I'm plowing through fabrication at night.

Putting fish into it seems vaguely immoral in some fashion. I have never wanted for power enough yet that I had to worry about the reactor efficiency. But I also build a lot of passive power generation like solar panels and geothermal.

Well you can also put predators (the ones with eggs, that is) into it. I imagine there are some who wish they could decorate their bioreactors to look like a snake mushroom, to further insult the crab snakes they throw into it.

I'm spoiled by Factorio. I want to skip (manually) fabricating intermediary ingredients in recipes if I have all the source materials on hand, and just build final thing. Yes, I know this needs a chip; I have the coral, silver, et al. in my pocket. Just let me make the wiring kit, please.

 I am best submariner.  [edit] Speaking of the Biogenerator. I'd like to see a similar machine that, instead of generating power, its a food processor. It would slowly consume whatever fish/plants you throw in it and eventually spits out nutrient blocks. Basically a cross between the Biogenerator and the water filtration machine.

So, despite having thalassophobia (or, well, fear of certain aspects of the ocean at least) bad enough that I actually get anxious just watching some videos of this game, I went and got it during the sale because it looks neat and I've heard good things about it. Downloading it now, though it won't be done for a few hours because my connection isn't the fastest. Will be doing stuff like finishing up Sips's video series on the game (and thus slowing down my download further) in the meantime, I suppose. Wow, though, looking at the roadmap for this game has revealed to me that the designer is a massive dumbass.

Two questions: how hard is it to pack up and move you're base once you've started building? Should I stress where to place my first base, or can just plop it down near the start and then move it when I find a better spot? Second, do you ever get any sort of navigation aids other beacons, ie a map?

Should I stress where to place my first base, or can just plop it down near the start and then move it when I find a better spot? Other than the actual moving-of-things involved, moving st rather painles, particularly. if you don't mind leaving gutted hulls behind (since Titanium is more or less a renewable resource). Disassembling fixtures is lossless, so you can rip out everything, pack it into storage lockers you build in your Cyclops', and build out your new base with no loss. The only downside is that fuel is locked into power plants (so you can't get fuel rods out of a nuclear plant, or the bioslurry from the bioreactor). e: I only suggest leaving old bases behind because not packing that titanium leaves more room for not-titanium to be moved.

How much of the Aurora can be explored right now, anyway? I scrounged up enough lead for a radiation suit, then loaded up on medkits and went to go fix the drive core. And.... then I ran out of things to do.

Digirat posted:How do you reach a point in your life where you somehow decide the developer of a game you've never played before is a dumbass, and then buy the game anyway I had already bought the game at that point, actually. Anyway, I was reading the roadmap, and discovered the entry "Female player model, voiceovers, animations, UI selector, etc." I had been wondering if the player character would be customizable after watching some videos so I was already curious, and I saw that entry had a description where most don't, so I clicked it. The description linked to a Twitter poll, where the guy posted, "Would you prefer we added the option to play as a woman in @Subnautica, or improve the core game?" Which is... About the worst possible way to ask a question that is a bad idea to ask in the first place. Another dev actually immediately called him out on it being a false choice and bad question, but he kept going with it. It came off as very passive aggressive, talking about how adding a female character option would require making big cuts to the game for little benefit and such. Other responses were mostly decent, with only a couple appearances from the sorts of shitheads you'd expect to be attracted to something like that, but, yeah. When the guy harps on and on about how adding a female character option would necessitate making a worse game, I am not exactly impressed.

got a link to that i mean, depending on how big the dev team that is an actual consideration - it's one thing for a huge dev like ubisoft to say that sort of thing but if it's just one dude then yeah that might be a lot of work put into it. the way you put it is still pretty passive aggressive and lovely but i'd want to see where that came from, not seconhand
