Where are some really good base locations? I always like to set up over one of the jellyshroom cave entrances. I'm not sure which one is best if any but they're all right next door to four or five different biomes, and not too far from the safe shallows geyser if you need a little extra power. I call it Jelly Shroom Junction.

I usually put bases on the edge of a big cliff or peak for the coolness factor, regardless of how practical the location is.

Cove tree is probably the best base place, not the least because you can easily get to it via the seamoth, or the cyclops. But you also want a base near the surface, so near the kelp-forest and stalkers is ideal.

In my last game the neighbors dropped like ten of them just playing with salvage on their own. All I had to do was scan.

Below Zero is pretty fun so far; artistically I like the blue palette. The headmouth penguins are fuckin' freaky but cute.

I'm winding if there's better. The edge of the map let me dive down to about 8500 meters before it teleports you close to the escape pod. I wish they had an easter egg down there instead.

The huge chunk of ship that looks kinda like a boomerang in one of the red grass "fields", there is a door you can repair that dramatically eases the egress points. Like it's the one that specifically makes you loop and spiral around inside it which makes it one of the more disorienting and dangerous wrecks, but that door makes it so much easier and I never noticed!

The one right next to the mushroom cave entrance right? Ya I know what door you're talking about now. Wish the game had more opportunities like that to use the tools you had, not just get to more loot, but open up different ways to explore the wrecks. But I guess most of them are fairly small so it's not like it would make that big of a difference.

While I am enjoying it, I see that it is as buggy as it ever was. Yesterday I ran into the same bug I hit like a year ago, in the prawn bay when you go under the water, through the pipes I hit an area where it looks like I can get some air. And it clips me through the ceiling, so I am now between the walls. The cheat warpforward 10 got me out of it this time. Last time I think I had to go back an hour to my last save. Just now I finally got my prawn suit built. I load it into the moonpool bay and as I am trying to access the upgrade menu, I just simply get into the suit and it drops me down, through the world and into the jellyshroom caves. Hopefully I can get back up to my base and build a jump upgrade or grapple upgrade and get it back, not sure if the cyclops can get down here. Still, I do like this game over all. This time I am taking my time to get to big squid lady and just building all the things. The scanner is a new one for me. Works well finding stuff like quartz, though I did have a helluva time trying to place it connected to my base. It just wouldn't place right. e: Trying to walk it up this shaft.

I have a really bad habit of not saving my game which along with a bit of OCD when I play open world games means I am very familiar with the first 2 hours of gameplay now  Bugs and stupidity aside though it’s been enjoyable otherwise, I’ve been playing with a 360 controller because it kind of makes sense and their controller support is a little rough. It works but there’s a whole bunch of oddnesss it stuff like the PDA menus or naming lockers. Mazz fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Feb 17, 2019 |

I did end up going up and building the grapple, luckily I had the materials. Now I am in the process of making a river base which I will just leave a 2nd prawn suit for mining, just need to find some nickel. Which I still haven't seen any of. I assume its all under that corrosive fog. The main reason I am building a river base.

I think I've plateaued in Subnautica at the moment. I got the last breadcrumbs down to the Jellyshroom forest, and nothing after that. Should I go looking for big wrecks to try and finish the cyclops? I think I've gotten everything out of the Aurora, and I think I've been over the floating island.... Have I gotten to far lost in the (sea) weeds and lost the main plot?

Basically if you run out of plot leads in Subnautica, by default you should try going deeper, in directions you haven't traveled in yet. There are plot hooks in the Jellyshroom Cave plot location, check your PDA for logs that you missed picking up or go back for a more thorough search. Also haul as much magnetite as you can fit in your cargo bays and inventory out of that cave, it will save you more trips later.

As for the Cyclops, I think you're better off searching the sea floor in certain biomes. Cyclops bits are usually rare in wrecks. When Below Zero is closer to finished, Ice Station Poopsock is going to always be stocked with a dozen of every resource I can find or make.

If you want easy Cyclops fragments, the Sparse Reef is pretty safe enemy wise and has a ton of Cyclops and other good fragments.

or you could just say gently caress it and go putzing around behind the rear of the Aurora because there's a million Cyclops bits there. Also 3 Reaper Leviathans in the same location, so, have fun with that and bring a stasis rifle

I had this nagging feeling I was doing things out of order until I kind of got far enough and saw enough to realize there isn't any loving order, you're just supposed to wander around and pick things up along the way. It's pretty great.
