Current Events > My experience with subnautica so far.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ah ok, so I need the Seamoth to actually get anywhere forward.

I need a special kind of room to build the seamoth, but I don't have the blueprints.

The blueprints are somewhere difficult and scary to get to. Somewhere you probably need the seamoth to get to safely.

Also I need a fuckton of ingredients, some of which I can get, others I've never heard of.

Maybe I can make a start on the simple ones and pick up so- oh no wait, I need food.

Oh crap I need water. Guess I better spend the next hour collecting coral and salt.

4 hours later and I might have collected 2 pieces of silver and just ate a bunch of fish.

This is the only part of your post I can relate to :P

If gathering and/or survivability is no fun for you, you might want to consider playing on Creative or Freedom Mode?

No I enjoy it, it's just a bit of a grind at the moment. I'm so early on that everything is quite laborious. So food is not that nutritious and I need to catch it by hand, take it back to the base, cure it, then collect ingredients to stave off the thirst that generates. Diving is a pain because I can't breath that long or travel that fast, so collecting ore takes time.

I'm quite looking forward to getting upgrades that make self-sustaining food farms, etc.

Ah yeah, I understand. Well all I can say keep going, once you're able to build actual useful stuff you'll have no shortage of water or food.

There are a couple of useful (and dangerous) biomes you can access in the early game (at least by using floating air pumps and the first tank upgrade), but yeah... The deeper they are the scarier it gets

I've been wanting to check out the jelly caves, just got a rebreather so that might be feasible now.

You can manage with a seaglide for awhile

Man, I've been playing this game non-stop. But, some glitches are huge pains. Nearing a major point in the story in extremely dangerous terrain, bam, an attack glitches it where I can't swim... Was just walking along the bottom with no way out. >_>
Reloaded my save, but was still glitched. Luckily dying fixed it, but it left all my stuff at the bottom if the ocean. Had to recreate it to get back to it.

Now I finally got past that part, and now the game crashes every time I leave the next area. Once was right when someone started watching my stream too. Then again right after.

I love this game, it's so eery and cool, but dang it's frustrating sometimes.

Watching Markiplier freak out whilst playing it is all I need, don't need to play it myself.

when you're scavenging around the seafloor and you see a leviathan shadow pass over you

Apparently this is common with Subnautica

I really dont have energy for it tonight anymore. Urgh.

Maybe. We'll see. I got so far though.

Well don't forget to have a deed before turning in for the night

i literally have never had glitch problems with the game

always surprised by others'. my friend who streams has tracked like 15 times that she has fallen through the entire world

You're skipping a step or two if you're going right for Seamoth.

First thing to get is the basic air tank and fins, then go for the Seaglide for more speed.

After that the Aurora will go through it's event which unlocks the radiation suit, build that as soon as you can and go to the Aurora.

Unless you're really unlucky, while on the wreck you should find enough blueprints to get the Seamoth and Prawn suit, which makes deeper dives easier.

I built the Prawn, and within minutes fell through the world and lost it. I hadn't saved in like an hour and was so fuckin pissed >_>

Just happened to me like 20 minutes ago. Fell right through, it slowed down at like 8k deep. Then after reloading my file, I had the opposite problem from my earlier post, could swim and drown in the air. Was going to check out the top of the aurora if I could, but it randomly popped back to normal. I didn't want to risk it so I just shut it down for the night.

i always see people say this and i never understand the thought process, given what hangs out near the aurora

I need a lazer cutter to get on the aurora no? I got a bit stuck trying to get through. Also big red boi made me shit my pants.

lol, I don't think anything has ever scared me as much as my first encounter with a Reaper.

why he so mad

doesnt he want a friend

Remember when you used to get a game and you could count on it to not be a buggy piece of shit? Those were the days.

Not really, at least now bugs can be fixed with patches.

don't give up on the game. getting the prawn suit, grapple hook and drill arm and going after the reapers attack on titan style is boss. the topic the other day inspired me to start a new save, and the map clipping has definitely gotten far worse than it was in beta. Swimming into some hills when trying to break limestone/sandstone results in going right through, never ever had that and I've been playing since alpha. used to just be the seaglide that was a problem.
---

I managed to summon up the energy to recap my progress, was a bit faster this time because I knew what I was doing. So far the exploration HUD upgrade is the most useful thing I've got so far, makes gathering materials so much easier.

sooner or later you will find yourself creating seabases that only serve 1 purpose: marking the location of reapers

They really are a colossal pain in the ass. How big is their aggro field? I feel like I get within 200metres of one and it flips out

i dont recall but once you build scanners you can literally measure it and act accordingly

a good general rule is if you can hear them they can see you

it is also a terrifying concept that i love

ps u gonna go deeper

greatest horror game ever made
