Alright so I guess I'll stop following this thread on the 30th, huh? Glad it is getting EA out soon, hopefully that means more polish or a quicker release date.

General Battuta posted:Yall who build deep bases in the Tree Cove and surrounds, how do you deal with the lack of table coral for circuits? You can't grow it, so it's the only material I found myself needing to go back to the Safe Zone to find. It grows in different colors in different biomes, but its always growing on the side of something in that stacked ladder formation. The only thing I think the river and beyond lack, or can't be grown, are stalker teeth.

Below Zero isn't a DLC on Steam. It has its own page. Also they predict it will be in Early Access "at least" a year. Zesty fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Jan 25, 2019 |

Wish I’d known that, because I just hauled it in the Cyclops from the Safe Shallows.  Demiurge4 posted:Currently playing a new game and rushed down to the tree cove to build my main base. I’m living out of that cave now through an elaborate system of beacons for navigation and using the prawn to collect the building materials I need to expand. I need so much loving titanium. Leave the Cove and hang a left, straight up and across the Juvenile Ghost Leviathan’s range, then the portal entrance is under the sulphuric falls in the corner!

It's amazing how quickly building a base in a Ghost Leviathan's patrol area has made me lose my fear of them. I've gone from  OH GOD WHAT THE gently caress IS THAT?! to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7_pVrIshxA except the trash bag is my Prawn.

Instead of this below zero dlc I really really wish they were doing an Abyss expansion. The lowest the sub goes is 1300 meters which is pathetically nothing. The Mariana trench is 10000 meters deep! Imagine the adventure getting that far down! But no instead we get some ice

Though yes, 'gently caress these infinite spawns  ' abyss content does sound like it would have been pretty metal. Even if it was just 'Survive the race towards X depth to get beyond the the infinity monsters layer' to hit new terrain you'd need a decked out cyclops to reach.

Yea 1300 meters in game is pretty great, but in the big picture is pretty sad. That said it's a reasonable trade off for the game world of Subnautica.

uhhh. Think you could screenshot that? Because you get stalker teeth by chance when stalkers take a bite at metal.

I'm picturing a literal pile of hundreds of stalker teeth. Is this what you found? with a piece of scrap metal in the middle, I imagine. It absolutely sounds like a bug.

Stalkers can tend to hang around your base too to steal your camera drones. One of those interesting things where observation of how a creature acts and where it lives helps you acquire an important resource. Speaking of, there seems to be a subtle thing that you don't find Reefbacks in any area where other Leviathans are active. They get oddly comforting after a while.

Bastard made that area a no-go/run past zone.

Everything clinging to the side or on rock shelves and cave systems off sideways into the rock. The only issue would be the travel time. So there would either have to be other biomes and more to do on the way getting down or a new super fast sub. Buildable teleporters would work too. It does disappoint me that the creators aren’t going with the obvious next step and that this game isn’t easily modable so someone else can make a mod at least.

I mean like the map literally be like a regular map on its side, you you'd have different biomes and points all around the trench and it'd be a slow progression over the course of the game from top to bottom as you unlock more and more.

I felt like replaying the original game for about an hour. drat, I missed the feel of just starting out in Subnautica, having nothing but a couple of protein bars and a canteen, don't even have a knife. I think the soundtrack is totally key to the experience being as powerful as it is early on.

Loading up my Cyclops (jesus that thing's big) for my grand expedition to build a new proper base next to the blue glowy tree (seemed like a good place?) in the deep green caverns.

But that is a very popular place for a base.That said, make sure you also have enough parts to build a Moonpool even if you only care about the Prawn. Unless they patched in the ability for the Cyclops to craft every single Prawn module when I wasn't looking.

Until the norm is dealing with that sort of thing immediately rather than waiting until it's convenient or more cost effective to cut them loose, nobody is gonna learn poo poo

In retrospect, I think it's probably not a bad thing that they abandoned a few biome ideas like ice floes and lily pads for the base game, since they'd be kinda outta place in the end setting that's basically the planet's equivalent of a tropical, volcanic region; coral reefs, kelp forests, sandy plateaus, tropical islands, a touch of deep trenches and underwater caves. A polar region lends itself to a different set of biomes, as would a swampy one.

So I'm at the point where I need Kyanite to build depth modules. But it seems that all Kyanite is at a depth deeper then the Prawn suit can go, and that the Prawn suit is need to mine Kyanite. I know there exists some loose kyanite crystals somewhere, but plot-wise it doesn't seem like there is any good way to find them other then dumb-luck. Is this correct or did I miss a branch somewhere that would lead me to some?
