The only thing keeping me from making a Prawn suit in this save slot is no aerogel, because for the loving life of me I can't find any of those spongy things in the caves you use to make it. I'm not sure if its' a bug and they just didn't spawn or what. Grr.

Well, discovered a strange and unsettling new bug. Lifepod 5 started drifting away from its location. This was a big problem for me since I hadn't build a fabricator into my base yet and this might have been indicative of other bugs to come. Weird.

Section Z posted:There was a known bug where repairing the panel and activating the gravity anchor, didn't actually prevent it from drifting off into the distance for people. Either way, it's kind of been A Thing. Hey, fixing my pod is always one of my first priorities and in this save file it's been fixed for a long-rear end while. Which is why I was able to build a base beneath it. It seemed to stop drifting once I got back into visual range, at least.

Man, you dump enough resources into the Cyclops it ought to be invulnerable. Its weakness of being not-very-agile and sucking up a lot of power should be balance enough.

Wouldn't mind having a tether or power cable to attach from your base to the Cyclops to recharge everything at once. Or maybe solar panel modules that only work at surface depths. Or, hell. Maybe a nuclear power plant, turn it into a nuclear submarine!

Well, Lifepod 5 got shuffled around again, but this time there was a good reason for it. A reefback decided to use it as a scratching post and was rubbing itself all over it, making it bob and drift around.

It'd be nice if the air pipes were flexible. Maybe combine it with the dive reel so you can explore wrecks and caves with a tether. Of course, I've been watching lots of Astroneer lately so I think oxygen tethers are awesome.

Eh. I know how to have knife durability be a thing and still be within the constraints of the game's replenishable resources. A knife-sharpening option that consumes renewable resources. Like, I dunno, lubricant at the Fabricator, since you can farm lubricant pretty easy. Still doesn't bother me too much since the materials for making a knife are pretty easy to come by.

Ooh, there's an idea. An electrical prod that is almost guaranteed to scare away stalkers or sand sharks with one good poke, but runs out of energy REALLY fast so you can't overuse it. Good for early-game stuff.

Once you fix the drat reactor and radiation filters out, life gets much easier because you can wear one of the other specialty suits anywhere you want. You're also guaranteed full scans of a Prawn suit in there too, among whatever other fragments you can find.

Demiurge4 posted:I've been having a grand old time. I've hit most of the early tech tree and the only thing holding me back is finding a gel sack, it seems they've been removed from the small crevice near the aurora so instead I've started setting up supply outposts. I found out you only need to find one gel sac and can then hit it with your knife to get seeds and plant more in exterior growbeds. Takes the sting out of it. Scanner Rooms are both easier to build and WAY more useful than when they were first introduced, my god. They suck power like a bastard but it's so worth it to be able to home in on magnetite and other hard-to-find poo poo. The range is pretty expansive too.

Due to the coloring Nickel is almost totally invisible to me unless I'm staring right at it (and due to graphical issues it's invisible until it renders right in front of my eyes) so my workaround for both is to just build a base in the Lost River near a thermal vent for infinite power and a scanner room. Going well so far but I really need to make several trips down there so I can make that base fully-functional with all the goodies like desalination for fresh water, a moonpool, aquarium for breeding fish and planters for food and materials. Will probably be worth it just to have a safe spot to retreat to down there. Bonus: cameras drones spawn in with a beacon highlight so I can find this base anytime I want easily now.

Bizarre Echo posted:I live and die by my locator beacons. I've got my outposts and bases marked in red, the big landmarks like the Aurora, the floater island, and the alien island in yellow, and various wrecks and landmarks I haven't gotten to yet in standard blue. My Seamoth doesn't leave the bay without at least five beacons in the hold. Excellent idea, and probably how the game is meant to be played, honestly, since there's no map.

The underground sulfur river is where I built my first deep-sea base since it was getting too time-consuming to go back to the surface and the water was warm enough near certain vents to build some good thermal power generators. That put me in spitting distance of the lava zone. Of course you could always just build a base IN the lava zone but the creatures running around in there made me consider otherwise.

I mostly just used the cyclops to help me store food as I moved closer to the endgame since it was awkward as hell. Naturally power becomes less of a concern once you finally get those thermal conversion chips for recharging from hot water.

Fayez Butts posted:Just got this game; it's pretty fun. Once I've built my sea base, is there a way to have its position show up on my hud like my life raft does? Yup, though you have to build a beacon for that. Beacons will float in place wherever you put them and can then be toggled on or off in your HUD. Your vehicles also have their own hud indicator.

Oh right, I forgot about the scanner room. Which is invaluable if you want to strip an area clean of all specific resources. Man, they improved that dumb thing so much from when it was first introduced.

Yeah, all the best stuff is hidden down in the danky depths. The SOS messages you get from all the destroyed lifepods are really the only hand-holding the game gives you, because they're usually next to useful wrecks to scan for fragments, but some of the logs of the Degrassi Survivors happen to point you to stuff you can do even later on.

I am told that, should you manage to kill a leviathan, it does not respawn (except for the ones in the void beyond the playable space). I haven't ever really used the torpedoes, how good are they? Mostly I want to set up a base in the Lost River without worrying about Big Boy over there.

Whorelord posted:I don't really fear the sea at all but people who can stomach having their main base anywhere other than the safe shallows disturb me. My big base is in the shallows, I just need a recharging station down in the lost river to make even deeper trips have a shorter turnaround time. Though I could set up a proper farm and everything. I'm told that tamed crash fish can be loaded into a propulsion cannon as impromptu grenades.

Lockback posted:sonofabitch, really? Yup, you can build your own planter, battery rechargers and fabricator and whatnot. Just be aware they all suck power from those engine batteries, haha. Except the planter, obviously. I wish there was a "nuclear sub" option for the Cyclops to run it off uranium rods, but we can't have everything. Oh, and don't forget to turn the lights off. I don't think they drain batteries but they do attract attention of big monsters.

If you're worried about your life pod being broken, you can fix the broken parts with a Repair Tool. The only ingredient for that that's hard to get (for beginners) is "Cave Sulfur" which you get from the nests that those exploding fish pop out of in the shallows. If you can brave being blown up that's what to go for. The Repair Tool has another use besides just fixing your base and vehicles, some wrecks have doors that can only be opened by repairing the power source next to 'em. Very nice. I think the only tool that has only very specific uses would be the Laser Cutter because once you've cut enough doors open you don't have much of a reason to use it.
