Board 8 > Anybody here play Subnautica? Got an endgame question. (Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do the arches turn off?

The portals freaking saved my damn sanity. I parked my Cyclops at the entrance of the Lost River at around 650 M I believe. I made it down the whole way with my Prawn with upgraded boosters and the grappling equipment. I underprepared by the time I made it to the final facility, I was close to my suit running out of power and I was close to dehydrated.

Then the miracle happened. I discovered those arches and took a portal that was close to my base, got there, and resupplied and took the portal back inside. This also helped me by allowing me to create the second required blue tablet.

This also means it will be easy to get back to my cyclops and get it back home.

Well anyway, my question: Will the arches turn off at any point? Im about to helping with the baby incubation and the enzyme. Should I make some Kyanite trips via the portal before I progress further?

Whoa, Subnautica has changed immensely since I last played it, I see.
---

I dont think they ever turn off once theyve been activated.
---

I would give this game a 9.5/10.

I fell in love with it

---

I watched a let's play. I believe the arches stay on once activated

Is kyanite the one you need the drill for? I think it's rare enough that yeah you should get it when you find it. Just try and make a mini base in your cyclops

---

No, they will not. The only way they wouldn't have worked is if you tried to go into their destination portal first for some reason, instead of going through the containment facility arches. Some arches are like that, you have to activate the "master" portal before it's "slave" portal(s) will activate. But since you did, those portals are now permanently active.

Ok nice! I just wanted to play it safe. I cant believe how clutch these portals were for me. They saved me!

---

Just beat the game, that was an adventure

---

I need to get below zero. I got it when early access first came out but refunded it because another game I wanted more came out then.
