As someone that had to turn on cheat codes in order to zip through the tombraider 2 water level (on like a 22'' 1990's tv screen) I think i spent about 8 hours before even leaving the safe shallows. Stalkers freaked the hell out of me, though now i dont even consider them aggressive. My first OHHH poo poo moment came from the radio message about the life pod that landed mid stern. Floating device activated but a big fish in the water. I thought it landed on the other side of the Aurora. So i just casually swam my way around the back of the ship. Water is all murky and brown so i cant really see anything, so i pop my head up every now and then to make sure im still going the right way. All of a sudden i see the tail of something passing infront of me. 'Thats just a stalker' i though. But it just kept on going, like this would have to be the biggest stalker. I stop and instinctively back up a bit just as the head finally starts coming towards me and reaper leviathan name appears. Wife told my to stop swearing as the neighbours can hear it. I swam backwards all the way to my life pod where i finally paid my last respects to whoever was in pod i was going to. My next one was a bit later. I had taken the Cyclops over to the dunes where a wreck was so i could get a part of the drill arm. Im running on slow with F1 open counting down to where i think i am close enough to search while being far enough away from the leviathan. I shut everything down and triple check all the cameras making sure everything. I head down the ladder and exit the cyclops and before i even start to make my way to the wreck i see a leviathan in the distance. So i got back in the boat. >< As for time capsules, i think ive found about 4 or 5. I now have double of most basic equipment, though someone put 2 cuddle fish eggs in. I need to get my alien containment and see what these things are.

What are my options for gel sacks? Is there a way for me to grow them so i dont have to go looking for them? I have just unlocked my 500m seamoth upgrade, and have the rubies for the next level, but i still hate searchign for stuff that isnt in the safe shallows/mushroom forest. I even built a base in the jellyshroom cave that i will probably never use because my prawn suit is over at the mushroom forest (unless i build another one and a moonpool............ but then i need a cyclops to get my mats............ fu.... can i get acyclops into the caves?

Ok i need help. I just went to 500m to a life pod, took out the crabthing (it attacked my seamoth that was parked at 498m and pushed to below 500m, i was lucky it didnt explode.) I've finished the degassi base in the jellyshroom caves. The problem I get back into my base and unload some stuff. I'm picking lantern fruit. I hear what sounds like a stalker outside and now my base is flooded. I can't find anything to repair, power is still fine. Just the centre of my base is in water now... Am i going to have to pick up everything (and probably make a few lockers) deconstruct that 1 piece and rebuild? ><

# ¿ Feb 28, 2018 06:45 |

I ended up deconstructing that part. Then when i went up a level i found 2 breaches in the compartment. That weren't there when i was swimming through my base looking. At least my bulkheads worked (even when they weren't closed. LOL)

Double checked what i think is every place the power cell charger should be and no luck. wiki has sparse reef, then sparse reef, mushroom forest and underwater islands wrecks. I have the nuclear reactor before i get the friggen power cell recharger. Then what is the best way of going into and through the lost river?

I started to build a base top north east where there is meant to be an entrance to LR. Build my base and started my stripper pole tot he sky. Came back after taking son swimming and now there is a reaper swimming on top of that base ><. I assume that LC isnt over 900m right? so cyclop and pranw suit with lvl 1 depth (0 for the prawn) will be doable. What do i need to take so i dont have to backtrack? And as for time capsules. One recently gave me 2 ion batteries, 1 nickle and 1 kyannite. Batteries super useful, the materials, not so much as you need more than 1.

Prawn suit 1 depth module is fabricated in the attachment added to a moonpool.....? or can it be made in the cyclops?
|
# ¿ Mar 3, 2018 11:14 |

ok, so bring mats to make moonpool and upgrade maker, plus bioreactor to power it. And i just had my first "Cyclops is no longer solid" moment. Was going over the resource list, working out what else i needed when i fell into the water, only the water also wasnt there, so i fell a fair bit further.

My 350m long vertical base joiner so that i could build solar panels to power my lost river preparation base took a lot of titanium. That i had to build 2 of them because a reaper decided to swim directly above my first one made it even more expensive. I am half tempted to save my game , get the prawn suit and just see what i can do. As for the octopus things. They are KOS, stasis rifle, thermal knife. I need to get cured though. Warpers still scare the crap out me me :/ I havent logged back in since falling through the cyclops. I will a bit later and head down into the lost river. (You take the prawn rather than the seamoth right? which means i will have to either ferry my prawn from a land far away, or walk it across the ocean.)

# ¿ Mar 4, 2018 05:11 |

Ok. Moved my cyclops back abit as i kept falling out of it. Then i fell out of it and landed on top of it, repeatedly, until i died. It then spawned me directly underneath a reaper........................ wtf

Im pretty sure the more items you build, the less stable the game gets. I removed most fo my 350m pole and replaced it with power transmitters and the cyclops seems to be ok now. Also, the prawn is really good. 25% damage from a reaper with no mods and you can punch it in the face. With 1 arm for punching, how many passes would it take to kill a reaper?

twistedmentat posted:I was playing in early access but I stopped when the Cyclops was made unusable and couldn't progress. I assume you don't actually need the it anymore as you can make the Seamoth go to 900 meters with its Mk3 depth mod. I've gotten as far as building a base and explored everything I can get in the Aurora. It's just finding stuff like the battery and power cell chargers and setting up a food and water supply at my base. Also setting up a bio reactor and nuclear reactor. Seamoth goes to 900m Prawn goes to 900 straight up. But to get the stuff to make the prawn go deeper you either take the floating base, or backtrack. End game is 1400m or so. And i still havent gone into the lost river myself.

# ¿ Mar 6, 2018 09:14 |

so take titanium, quartz and enough stuff to build a thermal reactor and you can scrounge the rest?

TK-42-1 posted:Finally finished this after about 35 hours. Really satisfying overall. Impressed by the density of story with how sparse it is. Hell yeah. I had a few hole to patch when i was in the green river from that. So once i got established i took the prawn and got to punching. He went further down after a few. If i kill it will it respawn? And yeah cyclops being a monster magnet..... remember my story of building a partial base that then spawned a reaper above it. Well i parked the cyclops by the 2nd base. When it was time to descend i turn on the engines and. "Warning, creature attack" Also at the begining of the game travelling in the seamoth you avoid all the little fish. You know your near end game when anywhere your going in that thing is just. Thud...... Thud...... Thud....

Cojawfee posted:It kind of spoils the game though. I loaded mine up with the high end food and water. yeah, being able to access more areas sooner spoils the game. Best time capsule i've got so far has been the one with ion batteries. Worst are the ones with equipment you get around your base.

Mein Kampf Enthusiast posted:I cleared out the Aurora and fixed the engine, just by the time I had the Cyclops I didn't have a Prawn yet, and I felt like exploring with the Cyclops and suddenly I'm at the Containment Facility There are 4? prawn suits in the prawn suit bay. You cant leave the aurora without the prawn suit if you looked everwhere. The prawn is magical. Reaper attacking your boat? get out and punch it. Smaller, just as aggressive fish annoying you while you farm on top of your underwater base? get the prawn suit and punch them.

Internet Kraken posted:I bought this game like two loving years ago when I first saw it. I knew I would love it, but I was (and still am) tired of EA games so I never played it. I said to myself "when this comes out I'll have such a nice, wonderful experience with it." Guess what bug i just had. After 43 minutes of prawning around the inactive lava zone looking for the thermal plant. Had inventory full of kynite. Sea dragon isnt scarey :/. Well, untill he clipped through a wall. Then my prawn suit just fell into the void.

Just finished it. I got stuck finding the Alien thermal plant. As in i circled the mound for about 4 hours. It wasnt until i watched some crappy 30 minute youtube that i found the entrance. Then i was in the big pit 5, maybe 6 times before i realised there was a small crevase that let me go deeper. Prawn suit is definetly good. I was going to make a 2nd cyclops (because my first was near the big tree) but the prawn suit with mk2 thrusters and grapple is about as fast as the seamoth, and can punch. Getting the thermal upgrades was probably the most useful thing though. Was at the disease research, never self scanned, so the warpers werent too much of a problem on my way down. Story is good enough. No ingame map should a punishable crime these days.

BattleMaster posted:I loved the poo poo out of the game up until the lava area. My savegame right at the start of the lava area got ruined by something; not sure what, but it sounds like a crash issue other people have reported with power transmitters. I started a new game and was able to rush back there in a fraction of the time, and then found out that there was only like half an hour of gameplay left and all my effort spent preparing and stocking up was a waste. Yes to all of that. I had numerous 'forward' bases that in retrospect were a waste of time. I still never found 1 light stick fragment (i found 1 but not the other) 1 Power cell recharge fragment (even after cheating in the blueprint) And i think you need to go to the degassi base in the lost river to get the cyclops shield data dont you? My son watches youtube of it. there is one guy with weeks logged in, massive bases, endgame unlocked. Still doesnt have the cutter. LOL There needs to be set places to get stuff.

Minenfeld! posted:Does anyone else find it strange that you can take a Seamoth down to its crush depth, but then get out and swim yourself deeper? I tried taking it in the jellyshroom caves for one of the Degasi bases, hit its crush depth and went "Welp, time to get out and swim deeper." Nope, but be careful parking at at max depth. Ive had a crab come up and push it below. Managed to get back in and get it to safety with about 5% health. No way i wanted to be that far down with no way to get back up.

My life pod had about 8 floating lockers, until i figured out that even an hobo tube is a billion times superiour. And i often swam by my floating pump with a long long trail of pipe leding about halfway down a short drop in the kelp forest. *At the time it was the only thing that gave me the confidence to head down near the bottom. I would swim past it with my ulta tank that still had over a minute of air and think it cute. Oh and night time discussion. They really need to do something with that. At first i am sure i read that night time things became more aggressive. I think i spent the first 3 hours refusing to leave the lifepod or its top when night fell because i was scared. Even after getting the seamoth i had the belief that even in the mushroom forest and stuff, that reapers would head in there at night. Which meant for a good 10 hours of playtime where i always made it home before dark. Then i realised that night time just made things a different sort of pretty :/

Drake_263 posted:I was watching somebody play Subnautica on the youtube and I need to test something.. is it me or does the VR version of the game lack some of the polish you normally have? Like, when I started the game my lifepod wasn't actually on fire, I didn't get the little animation where my character gets hit on the head by that piece of debris, and I'm missing a lot of the neat little flourish animations like when you climb out of the pod the first time and shoo a local seagull equivalent off the pod. Actually animating you opening and closing doors, stuff like that - my run through in VR never had those. This isnt the guy that does the amazing frog videos is it (or another guy that does the... Beautiful OB, thats him)? My son watches a fair bit of them and its the same thing. They are so busy talking about what they are doing or going to do that they miss things straight up in front of them. My fav is the thinknoodles guy.... i think. Who has massive well laid out glass base that dwarves anything i came close to building, and then he opens up his crafting screen and doesnt have the cutting tool or some other random item that he probably should have found.

Would it be possible to make a procedurally generated map? The only thing stopping my from a 2nd play through is i know the leviathins arent scary once you get a prawn suit. The prawn suit is easy to get. As soon as you need to go into the deeper areas you've already finished the game really :/
