Weirdly, the game already sort of has some sort of silent cache. If you pick up a time capsule and don't have room for it, stuff isn't ejected on the ground. It's held in some ethereal space until you free up inventory and then it just appears there again.

Also, your mod runs great now yay - except that whenever I enter one of my bases (but not the lifepod) I'm still swimming? I don't lose oxygen or anything but I'm floating around like I'm on the ISS or something. Anyone else seen this?

Section Z posted:The prawn is one of the easiest things in the game to unlock... So long as you have foreknowledge that is, which of course causes the sort of responses you'd expect from this fanbase. Or if you just, you know, explore the Aurora. It's not exactly hard to find the Prawn Bay. I managed it without looking it up beforehand.

I've had my base running happily on nuclear power for quite a while but have never seen that brought up as being a good power source in discussion. Is there some sort of downside to it or did is it generally more if a late game deal that I happened to luck into early on?

Bioreactors and Thermals are just both easier to use and run off renewables. A single exterior growbed or fish containment can sustain power forever and the thermals are obvious.

There are complete prawn suits in some of the wrecks as well, the aurora isnt the only place to find them. And unlike the fragments I dont think they are random.

As far as I know, my code doesn't change anything that should affect that. Generally with that kind of weirdness, it's because there was an error that didn't get caught and Unity just blew it off. Next time it happens, check the Subnautica_Data/ folder for output_log.txt for any unhandled exception messages.

Bhodi posted:it's supposed to be "late game" yeah, the biggest problem is that if you get it early you miss out on the bioreactor and thermal reactor radio message beacons because you never need to build them. It's also the most 'expensive' power source in that it's non-renewable and each rod takes titanium and glass to make. The titanium is no big but glass is pretty valuable if you like windows (and everyone loves windows.)

I figure nuclear reactors might be good for outposts where no renewables are around but you could just make a bioreactor in that case. I can't think of any location that lacks thermal power or a source of biofuel. Question: Is there anywhere you can get alien containment other than the final Degasi outpost?

Nuclear reactors dont take much material and last for a good long while in most bases. Better than babysitting power imo, and usually easy enough to grab a titanium and two quartz for them while you are out. Solar and thermal are both still better though.

Sloober posted:the stillsuit does that too if you're out of room for pisswater I didn't know about this until now, that's interesting. I bet it does that for recipes that take up a larger volume than their ingredients like bleach -> 2x disinfected water but I specifically made sure not to give it a try when I first took note of it because I wasn't willing to trust that the game wouldn't explode if I did that.

My seabase isn’t quite done and I probably need to go on another monstrous run for titanium and quartz, but in a fit of inspiration I ran a verrrrrrry long tunnel all the way from the main complex (grassy plateaus, near a wreck and a lifepod) to the Jellyshroom Caves entrance, then a verrrrrrrrrry long series of vertical connectors all the way down into the cave with a short glass tunnel and an observatory at the end. I call it my meditation room. I have this fantasy of setting up the whole thing, leaving four nuclear reactor rods in the reactor, and then leaving, and years or decades later someone else lands on the planet and finds my base. They’d be set for life! Also it has tons and tons of spare crystallized sulfur, nickel and kyanite.

I keep seeing people saying you have to bring the propulsion cannon to the Aurora to get past the stack of boxes, but I just jumped over them? You have to get a running start off of a nearby box, but you can deffo jump them

At the start of my new run I dove down to the jellycave habitat just to get it. You should really just start with it. Not like you can do anything with it that you can't do with a hallway anyways.

Running long-rear end tunnels out to points of interest is a neat idea, though. GlyphGryph posted:You get like... two different plotlines to go to where they are, and three different regions that have them! How did you miss them for so long? I had similar issues, I didn't find the multi-purpose room til later and for a while my home base was a couple of tunnel segments with a bunch of lockers jammed in. Has anyone explored how far out you can go in a given direction? Are there hard boundaries or what?

Mein Kampf Enthusiast posted:Oh poo poo, the pull from containers mod sounds amazing! The one downside I've noticed is it's really easy to inadvertently cook and/or cure the fish in your aquariums, because they count as inventories to your nearby fabricators. Working as intended but also potentially mildly tragic in a sort of funny way. The extended quickbar mod is really nice too. Between those two things almost all the tedious inventory shuffling goes away unless you're out harvesting materials, in which case it's still somewhat of a core game mechanic.

I thoroughly explored the jelly caves in my last run but they still unnerve me more than most other places. Crabsnakes are sneaky bastards that attack when you least expect. They don't loudly broadcast attacks like pretty much every other predator. Well I guess they might but its hard to tell because they are always making horrid shrieking noises. Also apparently this can happen: https://clips.twitch.tv/SnappyDullCheesecakeMoreCowbell
