Unless something changed recently it shouldn't drift. I built my first ever base just below it when I first started playing and the pod never budged for me.

I haven't played in awhile, are the other leviathans in yet or just the reaper still? I actually hope not, the deep dark places are already unnerving as gently caress sometimes. Honky Dong Country fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Mar 17, 2016 |

dylguy90 posted:Not yet and that's a goddamn shame but it's fun to mess with fellow thalassophobes It's less that I'm the gently caress THE OCEAN type and more that I had a bad experience with a reaper and the idea of bigger poo poo makes me fear for my cyclops' safety. I knew that the reaper would attack the seamoth so I got the idea to get out of it and use outcrops and poo poo to avoid getting eaten. Except as I swam away the reaper grabbed my empty seamoth, raised it from the seabed and slammed it back down, shattering it to pieces and leaving me in very dangerous waters with no ride.

dylguy90 posted:I had the exact same experience, I still remember it vividly. Something about the way the Reaper grabbed the Seamoth made me go NOPE and hop out. Fortunately there was a little hole below me that I swam into as the Leviathan swam off with my Seamoth. 10/10 would fear the deep again. Now THAT is the kind of thing they need more of in the game, not sea mushroom farming or whatever the hell they just put in. Hell I wasn't even in my moth. When he grabbed it. I thought since it was empty and had the lights off he'd focus on me. Instead he was like "lol you idiot fucker its not even moving" and snatched it up to slam onto the seabed like he was spiking a football.

Elderbean posted:What's the quickest way to get power? I want to get my own base/fabricator up. Personally I usually only go solar/thermal. But if that's not possible then I go nuke. E: sorry realize you were prolly talking about your first base. Go solar. I forget where the fragments for it are though, kelp forest maybe? But as far as I know, only solar and thermal don't require fuel, location is important since solar won't work in the deep dark and thermal needs a lava vent.

If I had to choose one thing to add it'd be the ability to recharge the cyclops via relays. Honestly it just makes perfect sense. It ain't too bad to manufacture power cells but still. I'd totally build bases that're basically recharge/resupply stations with thermal/solar/nuke power, along with small-scale farming and a water purifier.

Lemon-Lime posted:Incidentally, you can't harvest stuff from inside the Cyclops, right? How are you supposed to grab stuff beyond suit crush depth? Unless something has changed since I last played, I don't think the player can die from depth. I used to dive well below the record for how deep a human can dive,as well as well below the tolerance of a seamoth packed full of upgrades for depth.

New update! Battery and Power Cell charging stations. Also the sea treader is in and produces resource rocks and poops that work in bioreactors. I'm super stoked about the charging stations since hopefully that'll end the never-ending cycle of battery/cell production. They also made gas torpedoes produced using gasopod fart orbs which I'm hoping will be somewhat lethal. They also added beds which is cool. I've always set up a room with a small aquarium of fish, potted non-edible plants, a desk and chair, bench etc. Now a bed in there too will make it a proper bedroom. It will no longer seem like you're playing and insomniac that never closes his eyes ever like some kind of freak.

Xanderkish posted:If I can't use them to kill a Reaper by firing wildly in their general direction while crying, I'm not interested. Dude my reaper philosophy is if the reaper wants it, he can have it. Like I posted earlier in the thread one time I got out of my moth and swam around in tight spaces figuring it'd leave my moth alone. Instead if grabbed my empty seamoth and slammed it into the floor like it was spiking a football, breaking it into pieces, and swam off casually like "lol get hosed bitch." After that, reapers can have whatever they want in my book.

Three-Phase posted:Neat game but it seriously needs auto save. Saving when you enter an airlock would be nice. A full load of fuel will produce 1000 energy according to the wiki. I don't know it distributes that usage across the four fuel rods though. I'm assuming it burns them one at a time though because I've never had my nuke go completely empty, just needs a new rod every now and then. But basically if a nuke is your only power source and it has a full load, it will last until you use (and thus it replenishes) 1000 power. If it really does burn rods one at a time then it needs one every 250 power produced. I wish I know what order energy is used in. Like in my main base I've got solar, bio, and nuke built in that order. I'm hoping my base depletes solar, then bio, then nuke, as each power source contributes a portion of your base's capacity. But I don't know. I wish you could see how much power is left in each unit of fuel (bio or nuke) or even better, could manually set priorities when it comes to power usage.

dylguy90 posted:Oh man you haven't lived until you've got a battery charger and two sets of seaglide batteries. How do you even collect resources? Yeah I keep eight spare batteries for my tools, including the sea glide. Four are always on a charger and the other four are in my inventory, getting swapped for fresh ones every time I RTB. The sea glide is absolutely awesome and because of its speed I don't even really carry any defensive measures like the repulsion cannon or stasis rifle. I just pull up in the moth, discharge the perimeter defense a bunch of times, then jump out with the glide. The electricity scatters anything around (except shockers) and the glide gives me enough speed to stay out of reach of anything that comes back before I'm done. The only time I use the stasis rifle is to get past hanging stingers in caves and I never use the repulsion cannon.

Are you guys sure about the multiple O2 tanks thing? Last time I played I didn't see an increase in capacity from having multiples, but I did find that tanks save their O2 level and can be swapped for a fresh one.

double nine posted:So how do I make a water purification machine, do I need a blueprint from somewhere? Yup. They're power hungry as hell though. I actually only use mine for the occasional bit of salt, but I've also usually got four different power sources and a huge capacity. And even the salt is only used until I've got the cyclops. Once I have that I keep plants on board and always have the cyclops nearby as a mobile base. If I'm very deep in (like caves) I build an outpost for recharging/food purposes.

Cyclops cameras are extremely cool and useful. I also like being able to turn off the lights and just enjoy a bioluminescent view every now and then (like the koosh zone). I often wish the lights could be turned on and off in bases too.

I keep floating lockers for one reason: moth modules When I get the cyclops and start really roaming I keep a couple floating lockers with seamoth modules and torps. When I pull up somewhere to use the seamoth I drop those lockers outside to use as kind of a mobile mechanic bay to tailor the moth for what I'm doing.
