So I got on the experimental mode today and couldnt use my fabricator. It opens up and I go to mouse mode but the buttons don't show up. Also when I start a new game I just walk on the sea floor instead of swimming. Dyz fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Mar 23, 2016 |

7c Nickel posted:The newest experimental revision really changes up how the game plays. Now fragments only spawn in wrecks, lifepods and near the Aurora. I wouldn't necessarily switch over to experimental mode (I think every spawn point near the Aurora is set to Reapers Leviathans right now) but the next stable update should be a good time to start a new game. Had one spawn in front of me while looking for seamoth fragments. Luckily I ran for cover, *then* poo poo my pants.

lilspooky posted:Yup, these are all things that will make this game fun for a brief period, but eventually will be taken off your hdd and you'll move on. That's ok since it's definitely worth the price. I just hope they or somebody else comes up with a similar sub game in the future with more depth and things to do. This game made me want an underwater survival horror game. Things get a lot more tense when things can come from above and below. Cojawfee posted:I started up a new save with the farming update. The fun is gone. I can't for the life of me find any solar panel fragments. Now I've got four or five air tanks and I've been diving to the wreck in the grassy plateau and scan things until I die. I can't find any fragments that would let me add power to my base. All the wrecks besides the one in the grassy plateau just have chairs and desks. The game is way too tedious for me now. They need to move around fragments so you can at least get a base going without having to cheat with respawns or having to run down to a fragment, scan a bit and then scramble back for air. Yeah not being able to even find a seamoth fragment after scouring the crash site with my wonderful leviathan buddies made me switch right back to stable.

So is it possible to kill a Reaper Leviathan? I was shocking them a bunch with the seamoth defense system the other day to see if they would die and I had one just disappear with no animation. The roar changed after a little while of shocking but the drat things would keep on running out of draw distance and resetting.

Just went back to the Aurora to collect the door codes. When I got back, my Cyclops was gone.

Just blasted a reaper out of the water with a vortex torpedo and watched it swim in the air. Bonus points because it hit a reefback and made it spin like crazy in midair. Double bonus point because I then rode it with my grapple arm and watched the leviathan try to eat me (exosuits are tough, they can take 3-4 reaper attacks) Bless this game sometimes PS: riding a sandshark with the grapple and drilling it's rear end is the most fun thing ever. Payback's a bitch.

Danaru posted:So what biome area do you guys tend to build in? I just realized today my base is located in "Sparse Reef" which... explains many things At the beginning I build by the geyser on the east side of the shallows, next to the plains and a small stretch of the kelp forest. It gives me plenty of silver to get things going. For fun I built a base underneath Floater Island. I just ringed the island with foundation and built the structures inwards. I'm thinking of making a way up through the hole in the middle of the island and maybe a huge vertical connector down to the Grand Reef.

Just explored the deep lava and couldn't find a single sea dragon. Warpers everywhere though. They seem to just spawn in the local predators for the biome.

Vasler posted:Kind of weird but it feels like my game only half-updated. Are you in experimental? Sometimes areas don't update and wildlife won't appear. I have the same problem in my save, the ALZ had no creatures in it and thus no Sea Dragon. I was building a base down there right when the update hit, that might be the reason for the bug. I've also had all predators, including reapers, go silent in a previous save, so you never know what will happen in experimental.

Carcer posted:How common are warpers? I haven't played the game much since it updated so I don't know. If you have to deal with warpers about once every 10 minutes then it’s probably not too bad, but based on the crazy spawning of some of the other aggressive fish if you've got to deal with a warper every other minute in some biomes I'd want a more concrete solution than "punt it with a prop cannon". Warpers seem to patrol around the borders of biomes from my experience. I've seen them in just about every biome except maybe the shallows. There is almost always only 1 in the area. They are like most predators in that they don't really bother you unless you get too close and hurting them seems to make them gently caress off. The teleport is a projectile which they seem to rarely use or miss a lot. I've only been teleported out of my vehicle once that I can remember, and I have a tendency to gently caress around with wildlife using the grapple arm. Also, they aren't immune to the stasis rifle, they can just teleport out of the field whenever their AI triggers. They still can't move in the stasis bubble unless something has changed. I usually ignore them entirely if I have something to do and they haven't bothered me in 99% of cases. In the other 1% they attack me until they decide to use the teleport which usually transports you or them outside of their aggression range. Lonos Oboe posted:Does anyone ever mess around with the gravsphere or current generator? I have seen a few ideas for uses on the Wiki and it seems you can create some interesting contraptions with them, but I have not tried yet. When I first started playing the game my lifepod drifted away from its starting position before I built my base. I used the current generator to push it back. Gravisphere I've never used but could be useful to set one up next a node while you're drilling. Dyz fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Oct 5, 2016 |

Carcer posted:There are 2 stalkers and a sandshark outside my lifepod. I cannot kill them, as they team up on me when I try and deal with one of them and the knife is terrible at killing them anyway. I don't have the propulsion cannon yet and it wouldn't solve my problem as I suspect they'd just come back. I know it's a bit late, but it is possible to kill that much wildlife with the knife if you can circlestrafe them well. All of the large predators in this game turn like an 18 wheeler truck compared to you, even the Sea Dragon and the reaper if you are light enough/in a seamoth. You can basically dance in a circle around them as long as you keep your crosshair on them. You are also faster than most of the smaller predators if you aren't too heavy, so you can lead them away as well. Sandsharks are total assholes though.

StarMinstrel posted:Been playing this for a while now and I half love it and hate it. Basically I love everything except one thing : the constant swarm of enemies. It seem barely a move can be made without having to constantly switch between my fighting knife, awkwardly circling around the enemy, and then resuming exploration for 15 seconds until a new enemy arrive and the dance starts again. I find it really breaks the flow of the game. Is there something fundamental I'm missing, or is this just a question of enemy spawn that will be balanced before release (in case someone heard about devs' plans). Avoid predators if you can and always be moving. One thing I do is swim above where I want to go, then dive down. It gives me a birds eye view and most of the predators you usually encounter outside of a vehicle stay somewhat low to the seabed. Do the opposite for reapers and hug the seafloor looking for nooks. Also, most predators have a certain detection range which gets bigger at night. I think they are also quicker to attack you at night as well. Predators are there to add some tension to the game, so they are going to bother you every so often regardless.

What's weird is the game has taught me that I'm actually fine with giant fuckoff monsters swimming at me, it's not being able to see below me that freaks me out. When I first got this game the first thing that popped into my head was "this concept would be great for survival horror".

Lassitude posted:An aggressive enemy that showed up now and then and was something you could only either avoid or run from would be a good addition probably. Getting some kind of warning that a giant squid or whatever had entered the area, and probably not seeing it before it despawned after roaming around for 10 minutes or something, but constantly kept you looking over your shoulder as you went about your normal business, would be pretty fun if handled properly. But yeah, they need some unfathomable enemies which are enormous and unstoppable and keep you afraid of the depths. Sadly even *most* survival horror games don't do this, they rely on scripted events most of the time. But I would really like it if predators somehow patrolled a biome instead of just popping in, with some sort of alpha that specifically stalks you like a Clock Tower villain. Not really possible at the moment though.

Section Z posted:I admit "Designated too scary for you" doesn't really do it for me. The older AvP games and System Shock 2 I'm heavily armed but I'm also tense because I could still gently caress up and get turbo murdered (Oh poo poo, it's a tiny psychic monkey! Nevermind that I can smash it with a wrench). Meanwhile I have no interest in the generally well regarded Alien Isolation, because the entire "Threat" is based on the Alien's contractual immortality. Some "Apex predator you have to drop everything and sit with your thumb up your rear end waiting to leave" sounds like a wet dream for a lot of survival gamers, but not really to my tastes because I'd only view it as a designated setpiece time waster. This is funny because when I think of a good survival horror game, I think of things like Clock Tower and System Shock 2. One of the things I'd love to see again in survival horror is maze-like maps with randomly spawning enemies and I'm surprised more games don't do this. Hearing a hybrid through the walls was what made SS2 so tense sometimes. I kind of agree with you on the whole "defenceless" thing being kind of lame, but only when it's done in such a way that it becomes tedious or frustrating instead of scary. "Oh god I need to get away from this monster because I'll have to start this whole level over *again*" isn't terror. In my opinion it doesn't matter *how* you are supposed to deal with something in a game, as long as it is entertaining and running/hiding can be fun when done right.

as they layer on the cheat codes against player agency by letting them yoink you out of your vehichles or teleport out of being stasis locked. 
" the fact remains they still had to resort to throwing a design panic attack over your tech progression being better than the average starving in the woods like a hobo survival protagonist. (See also: Resident Evil 4 Regenerators worry me more than that one "Only plot set pieces can kill it" Regenerator in the first Dead Space game. The former you COULD kill them without the Thermal Scope, but it was wildly impractical. The latter? "Haha, it's unstoppable until we say so!").
