Drake_263 posted:The Cyclops MKI and MKII depth modules don't actually require kyanite. You could theoretically build a Cyclops, plonk an upgrade station on it, and basically use your Cyclops as a giant Seamoth - skip the prawn suit entirely and just pop out to grab some of the few handpickable chunks of kyanite at the lava castle. I mean that's basically what I did

So I started a new save file on my new computer because my old save was ancient. Also, this reaper at the back of the Aurora really loves leaping out of the water for some reason:    Not to be outdone, this ghost leviathan decided to do it too:   (if you're wondering why it's on the surface in the first place, it chased me all the way from the floating ball area on the seafloor and just sort of... hangs out near the surface now.)

So I went wandering down into the lost river and came across a big ol' box structure that seems to have broken free from it's moorings. I found some warper bits to scan inside. I then found a giant castle-like structure that had a fuckin Stargate to the giant gun which is super useful because I'm doing all this exploring with my prawn and was very low on food and water. I then kept going down and found a large fish with hands that shoots fireballs and that was alright. He was guarding a place that requires a blue tablet instead of one of the 5 purple ones I'm carrying. Which is bullshit. Also what's this about ion blueprints in the thermal place? I was in there I think (inside the lava castle?) And didn't see any blueprints. Edit: also how do the portals work? I've found them in other places but the thermal one is the only one that's turned on and taken me anywhere. And it just seems to take me to gun island.

NmareBfly posted:I guess the hard part would be when you run out of pipes far enough from the surface that you can't actually make it back up in time. Hm. Die and respawn? Feels like cheating. Do multiple runs so you have stopping points on the way up at the expense of an exponential parallel work load? You can't sever an air line halfway down and make it usable, can you? You can add a split to an air pipe chain so that shouldn't theoretically be a problem, just split off an air point every so often you could also build a single thermal reactor and an external air pump on a single tube and use that as your air supply (meaning construct a one tube and reactor base, you don't even need a door since it's basically just a tube of replenishing air Sloober fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Mar 21, 2018 |

Each gate has a specific counterpart it goes to, you can't 'dial in' a different gate than the one it's configured to go to. Most gates are inactive until you power them up - you do this by inserting an ion cube into the square pedestal in front of the gate. If an inactive gate doesn't have a pedestal, it can only be found by finding its counterpart and activating that one. This is designed to make backtracking to certain areas easier while still making you actually explore. Edit: Once you've activated a gate pair with an ion cube, you can obviously travel either way through the gates, they're always two-way.

it's almost certainly easier to just build a bunch of growth beds with the air-bubble coral; maybe with some creepvines and/or jellyshrooms to make 'm more easily visible.

My first playthrough I didn't realize how deep I was going to end up going and didn't bring the Prawn with me, so I ended up just swimming over. Heat damage isn't really a big deal.

The hit box for actually getting in the bubble seemed super fiddly for me, so I doubt you could actually get air from more than one brain coral at a time. Unless you manage to get a one-two-one-two rhythm going moving between two corals so you con't need to wait the 2-4 seconds between bubble bursts anymore.

I gotta say it was a "fun" surprise for a giant, aggressive worm thing to appear out of nowhere while I had my PDA out and then aggressively chase me until my seamoth was destroyed Fortunately I had just saved. I guess just because it can now go to 900m, does not mean it is safe to take it into biomes that go that deep I feel like I've been sorta jumping and skipping things because I don't know what crafting recipes are in each "tier" so I dunno if I need to keep exploring in a certain depth, or if I can mostly ignore it until I run out of the material commonly found there. Like I assume I'm supposed to have a Cyclops and I just need to explore for thoroughly for hull fragments, which I've found zero of (while completing the other two recipes). I also dunno if I'm supposed to have something that can mine the big chunks of ore yet.

Finished the game last night and loved it pretty much throughout. By far the scariest parts were with dark, open water below you as you're swimming along with no vehicle to protect you. The feeling of danger fades away at a certain point and never really comes back, but in those first few play sessions when you haven't discovered everything in the game yet, the thought "dear god ANYTHING could be down there!"  is so strong and compelling and it made me want to run away as much as it made me want to dive deeper and see what amazing things I could find.Very few games, including most horror games, elicit such an instinctual reaction of fear and awe. I'm so glad I waited to play this until it left EA, too.

Will air pipes still work when the chain is so long and far beneath the surface that the ones on the surface aren't loaded anymore? Or are they just always in memory? I've seen my base be visible from an infinite distance away so it wouldn't surprise me

I didn't really figure out that you could build a base at all until after I had made a Cyclops, so I used a ton of floating lockers.

I was very concerned with wasting resources on a 'bad' place for a base so I lived out of like 12 floating lockers under the lifepod for quite a while. I think I just assumed base building was permanent or there would be a sunk cost in setting things up -- no idea a hobo tube was even an option.

Mein Kampf Enthusiast posted:Floating lockers: most useless item in the game? Technically your lifepod will slowly move until you make a welder and repair it's control panel. But it's so slow you will hardly notice. Though that's had a long history of bugs. Like repairing it making it drift of instead, etc. Floating lockers also have a long history of bugs. Not matter how many times people scream "They fixed them!" you still see poo poo like screenshots of them upside down on the ceiling of the lifepod post launch, supposedly after placing them outside of the lifepod. Maybe if the compacted down to a 1 tile item when emptyn alongside a built in beacon version, they could have an interesting niche. But as it you only bother with them as long as it takes to make your first base building tool. Mein Kampf Enthusiast posted:I thought so too until I left a massive pile of titanium and acid mushrooms on the seafloor right under my lifepod and it never went away So you want permanent storage as much for insurance against murphy's law. I mean, if stalker teeth still fall through the ground, trusting a junk pile as your storage method does not seem very reliable even for all the times it works out.
