Beat it tonight on a hardcore file. Took me 3 tries over about ~2 years, but got it done in about a 15 hour playthrough. The highlight of the run was losing a seamoth to a reaper, making a new one, and then watching a shark bump into the side of the new seamoth, clipping it through the world, all within 15 minutes. I built the 3rd one and got back to exploring. I can't decide if the game isn't as buggy as people say, or if I just know what parts to avoid and what items you can't put into the sub. Too bad there isn't a steam achivement for beating it like that. I think they didn't want people to try. It was super aggravating losing my 2nd attempt to a thermal vent that just one shot me for swimming over it.

I think that if they wanted the act of teleportation to have a cost associated with it, it should just take a big gulp of energy so there's a reason to construct high-output power plant types.

Section Z posted:If we are lucky, they will keep a "slowly, a few at a time" infinity source of cubes five minutes away from the end of the game like Subnautica. I mean, I wouldn't mind at all if it was anything I could build, even if it was something that took a lot of time and effort to build. It's the whole 'rare item you can't acquire other than finding it in treasure chests/ruins' status that sets off the same signal my brain was getting when I was in elementary school and finishing the single-digit Final Fantasies without using a single elixer, or even a simple ether often enough, because even in the last dungeon, that 'might need this later...' signal never switching off.

I finally finished the story mode of this game and it wasn't a bad game. My only nitpicks were the food and water mechanics became a nuisance towards the end of the game and the backtracking that the game wants you to do towards the end. I think this game will be a lot of fun to mess around with in creative mode since I can build stuff in areas I tried to avoid the first time.

A big thing to nullify food is just putting a planter box down in your base/cyclops with bulbo trees and you'll never have food/drink problems again. The tree always drops 9 crops, and 8 will get you to 90+ and you just replace the tree with the last one. You have 4 trees per box so you always have food this way. Also carry like a couple waters and bars in the vehicles for when you gently caress up and wander off too far. You can go everywhere important in the late game in the Cyclops with a little practice. Melons work too but I found bulbo a lot easier to manage because you don't need to do the seed/melon shuffle or dance around to get all 16 melons out.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:You can put a large planter in the Cyclops and put four lantern trees in it and just pick a few off of each one: they'll never run out. But Bulbo provides a more balanced diet. Bulbo cuttings give 8/10 Food and Water compared to the 10/3 of the Lantern Fruit. So Lantern trees require supplemental H2O, while a few Bulbos fulfill all the player's needs. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Jun 14, 2019 |

I just put a larger planter with one of each of the four edible plantings in it into every seabase and every cyclops I build, and that's enough to keep me fed and hydrated in pretty much every circumstance. You really don't need to minmax. Even if I don't eat the lantern fruit that much, it's still pretty, and even if the chinese potato isn't the best in terms of either hydration or the number available at max per planting, it still grows the fastest (and in RP, is a taste of home, an important psychological factor), and since I started playing, at least, I've never had an errant knife strike while harvesting the last of the four melons to re-plant damage my seabases or cyclops, as they'd already fixed that when I started playing. Bulbo trees don't really have a downside, other than needing a lot of inventory space available when you're very hungry or thirsty, or it gets tedious, and for something you have to replant fairly regularly, they grow very slowly, so if you're going to rely on them as your sole source of food/water, make sure you have more than one. But yeah, one of each in a large planter, or four small planters, or if you're in a real pinch, just melons and a bulbo in two pots, or more comfortably a melon, a bulbo, and chinese potatoes in three, are always more than enough to eat/drink forever, even while performing strenuous actions in high-food/water drain situations. (heck, when I'm not really pinched for space, I prefer to grow all the decorative plants in any given seabase's botany room, along with the edibles, too, and even find room for a fern or ming plant and some wall planters with voxel shrub flowers by my bed on the cyclops)

Hey Subnautica fans-- if you have not played The Outer Wilds, do so. ("Wilds"-- not "Worlds") It's more much more (almost MYST-like) puzzle solving than survival, but it definitely has the "what the loving gently caress is this?" exploration elements of ancient alien ruins that this game had. It also even has a part with giant fukken sea creatures! 10000% recommend for anyone wishing for any fan of Subnatuica.

I played the original demo of it. It's neat, but doesn't seem like it will have more than a few hours of content. More than 3, less than 10. I might've bought it Day 1 on Steam, but if I have to wait anyway, I'll wait for a sale.

I thought Outer Wilds was going to be short because the planets are so small, but there is a lot of content packed into all of them. Also, you die quite easily so there is a large amount of setbacks. It is well worth a purchase.

The Outer Wilds is about solving a mystery and exploration but you don't get to build a base and such like in subnautica. There is a small but cool ocean planet though. I wish subnautica could have the cyclones and weather like that planet did.

Far less isolated, no tech/base building or collecting anything that isn't information, way less open-ocean dread. It IS really cool though, definitely don't regret the purchase. Thanks!

Outer Wilds definitely reminded me of a more refined Subnautica, in the same way it made me think of a more advanced Myst. Subnautica was an attempt at an underwater minecraft clone clumsily converted to a unique game about exploration and discovery. Outer Wilds went in with this goal and it shows in a tighter, more cohesive gameplay loop. It doesn't have the specific gently caress the ocean dread, but I definitely got the same feeling. A child is capable of believing that every cave could have a dragon under it. You quickly come to realize that you can mostly predict what's going to be there with a few mundane surprises. Video games let you stave this off but as you play more or learn about how they're made you gain the same nonchalance and it loses some of the magic (even if it becomes more fun in other ways). But every so often something like Subnautica (for the most part) or Outer Wilds comes along and allows us to feel dread and allure again.
