I want to play this more but I gave it about five minutes worth recently and got jump scared really loving bad by the exploding fish. Not sure I'd do so well with the other horrors of the deep

Like I don't have gently caress THE OCEAN syndrome as bad as some (thinkin of Criken here) but the distant roaring I remember would sure as hell have me on edge more under the sea than anywhere else.  I know it's not really that kind of game but how much guidance is there in the main campaign or whatever it is?

well I picked some floaters off of a rock after the (sweet, new to me) intro and the game crashed, taking steam with it, so that's neat good to only go 15 minutes before discovering there's no autosave, i s'pose (e) oh, the intro can be skipped, that helps  (e again) jesus christ, twice in 45 minutes? Didn't take Steam with it this time, just unceremonious app closure. Anyone else seen this? Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Feb 13, 2018 |

Will I get a way to recharge batteries anytime soon? I know copper and shrooms aren't exactly uncommon but recharging my seaglide is kind of annoying. I don't know if it was the right thing to do but I beelined to the habitat thingy and built a foundation right by my lifepod, a single tube hallway, a solar panel, and like fifty goddamn lockers. Nice having storage space..

Without a world map I am never ever going to be able to figure out or remember where everything is. I get disorientated enough in 2D space let alone having 3D oceanic space and caves to work out.

Are there must have mods for a first time player? Can they be dropped in to a campaign in progress? Only like three hours in so not a big deal if not

Still no sign of battery charger plans, or laser cutter for that matter which is REALLY cramping my style at this point I've built a moonpool, bioreactors, food farms for aforesaid, and a seamoth and I can't make a laser cutter?  (e) That tantalizing sounding scanner room, too, need more fragments for that thing. (e2) Found a time capsule which was amusing and also had an ion power cell and ion batteries, dunno when I'd get those normally but my seamoth sure ain't complaining

I guess I can make a Cyclops now before I can even make a scanner room. Ok???? Gotta figure out how to get stalker teeth though, don't actually have any weapons besides ol' stabby.

I mean I was able to murder one successfully by using a battery in a roundabout way* but I didn't see any teeth or anything anywhere. Wonder if I was supposed to harvest the corpse with the knife a la Monster Hunter. stabbing a sea predator sounds like my nightmares * ramming in seamoth and subsequent repair

So I just made the Cyclops and now I'm wondering a) what's next and b) can I build more storage into this thing somehow because hot diggity drat a mobile underwater base is cool as heck. I've got a little minibase I started under my lifepod for growing food and storing poo poo because idk wtf i'm doing, dunno if I should just leave it there or tear it down or what Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Feb 17, 2018 |

Once you have the cyclops and the prawn suit you can start diving deeper into the endgame biomes Short a couple of lithium and a diamond on that one, but I'm close. The Cyclops can only carry the Seamoth OR the Prawn, right? Not both at once? What should I use when?

I kind of don't want to explore anywhere with the Prawn because of how hard it is to travel vertically in it. Oh god what if I strand that expensive thing in the Jellyshroom biome Finished looking around there and the Degassi area though, finally made a battery charger, then realized there's no reason I can't have a fabricator and radio in the cyclops and made those, and now the world is my oyster. Except I've run out of guidance from the radio and I haven't a sodding clue where to explore next.

Can the Cyclops recharge energy in its power cells somehow? If not, and I have a power cell charger in it, I assume that's zero sum, right, or are there losses (or am I creating energy from nothingness )?

I haven't seen the need or use for silent running or weaponry or similar yet. I imagine I will of course this being a game that loving hates me and wants me to die of cardiac arrest, I haven't been below 300m yet because the dark is terrifying

Turtlicious posted:weird lovecraftian magic hell system. -every code base i've ever worked on, 2018 Finally found the last modification station fragment by building an outpost near a thermal vent by the fore port of the Aurora and scanning for fragments. gently caress's sake that was convoluted, but at least now I have a proper charging station rather than one driven by solar and rotted fish. Can I have more than one thermal plant by a vent to transmit more power, or does one plant max it out?

If you like this sort of thing, Giant Bomb dropped their release Quick Look today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU-6kWo2Yjk Listening to it in the background while I try to navigate the spooky poo poo and going 'oh if only you knew  ' is kinda fun

The fear has vanished and been replaced by annoyance, so any advice on making ghost leviathans just kinda gently caress off and go away (or die, if needs must) without torpedoes?

Welp 3 hours of lost game time in a power blink means I'm not finishing Subnautica, a game without autosave in TYOOL 2018 Got my 30 hours but wowee did a lot of goodwill just get loving burned in fire Guess I'll just watch jacksepticeye's full release playthru or something, at least get a touch of closure

Nope, go nuts, you can always deconstruct it and get 99% of your resources back anyway (100% except the lost energy in your constructor battery)

Arite I gave up and reinstalled and made up my progress But now I have a new question, where the gently caress is the magnetite I found bits and bobs of it in the lost river where i'm plotting to build a big ole base since I can't get the cyclops down there near where the lava zone entrance (I think) is, but I've never seen a deposit of it or a large amount of single items Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Feb 20, 2018 |

Yeesh made it out, loving ghost leviathans and gross trees, that was annoying Think the ol' Cyclops is staying out of the Lost River from now on, it can hang out at my (nuclear) base I have at the entrance near where pod 2 went down when I'm down there in the Prawn But first a trip to Jellyshroom land to stock way the hell up on magnetite and lithium, thanks for the advice

Section Z posted:It's a longer round trip from a raw distance traveled perspective, but the lost river access at the Northern side of the map blood kelp is what I use these days. Because it's far, FAR less cramped. Like, you could manage with no cameras if you wanted with only a few bumps. Isn't that where I went in, near pod 2? Isn't that the north end? gently caress, what's at the north end of the map, I don't even Actually has anyone drawn like a top down overhead map of where all the surface features (and entrances for subsurface) are? Since I'm spoiled anyway that would be super duper.
