Last time I trusted you.

IT'S TIME LADS

THE PRAWN SUIT IS IN THE STABLE BUILD

I've seen that.
Oh baby. Time to wipe my old save if necessary (or if the Cyclops is still fucked).

Started a new game.
Now there's water clipping through the escape pod floor during the launch sequence.

"Stable"

Gah, they removed large rooms from the starting blueprints.
Now I have to go search who knows where if I am to build an aquarium and start farming food and water.

That seems overly unnecessary... the limit on getting them early was resources. And to be honest, WHY limit them from the early game? They're like the first little base structure you want to build, actually give you a bit of space to store and manoeuvrer in.

You can still build tube bases to store stuff

You should be able to scan them on the floating island, pretty easy to get to.
Alternatively you can go down to the jelly shroom cave and try to avoid getting centipede raped

Island will be easier to get to though

Honestly when you drop me in the middle of a vast ocean and the only landmark is a wreckage I'm naturally gonna go towards it and salvage it.

It might look cool but it flies in the face game convention in an annoying way.

I'm mildly annoyed

Great.
So now it's an island rush. Kay, then, let me dig up the map because despite the game allegedly being about exploration I have no fucking intention of filling my inventory with fifty thousand fish to be carried on my person at all times just so I don't starve/dehydrate.
Early-mid game is where the large aquarium is supposed to shine. Later on you get to the island and obtain lantern fruit and marblemelon anyway, removing any need for food and water ever if you put those in a planter on the Cyclops.

Speaking of which, I wonder if they got rid of the charger exploit.

Lantern fruit got nerfed hard.
Only gives about +3 food and water now.

Those cockmunching faggots.

Well, okay. I got other stuff to put in my pots.

Lantern fruit got nerfed because once you got a single one there was zero difficulty in ever finding enough food and water again. Water filtration machines were comparatively a waste of resources. Granted, food still isn't hard to get, but it isn't absolutely trivial like it used to be.

Live on a balanced diet of chinky potatoes and bulba root

Water filter + giant tank of reginalds = infinite food and water forever.

You can add a biogenerator and toss a bunch of the reginalds into it for fuel as well.

Wham bam infinite everything you never really need to manage.

I demand a power source that will explode if I don't manage it and render the area uninhabitable.

Yeah, but portability is lacking.
Before this went through I had infinite food and water plus UNLIMTED POWAH on a sub.

On my cyclops I have a large grow bed with marble melons and chinese potatoes.

Provides plenty of food and water.


Apparently lantern fruit is still useful for the bioreactor.

Ah, I finally found rule 34 of this game, in the form of a..."story".
I am reluctant to open and read it.

does it involve Jelly Eels?


Jelly Eels are sexy friends of the sea.

Judging by the tags, probably no.
There's fifty thousand kinds of vore, though.

le ebin negro xd

ANCIENT FUCKERS update is here. Cannot find crash powder for the life of me, though, they must have changed the harvesting mechanism.

I thought they rebalanced silver?

The problem with silver is that its only found in sandstone, which only shows up in kelp forests and grassy plateaus - both of which are heavy on the foliage.

Scanner rooms are one way of getting around this, or grab a prawn suit and mine the big deposits - hopefully they've made mining less awkward.

Also last version I played I found the game much much more enjoyable once I turned the oxygen cheat on, after getting stuck on yet another odd piece of geometry.

Last time i played i literally got trapped inside a fucking wreck. I was looking for the one in the floating islands area, when all of the sudden it fucking popped in all around me. My seamoth was stuck in an area of the wreck that was completely rendered but not actually accessible, like a WIP or something. Ended up having to warp out, but my seamoth was lost and i had to cheat in another one.

I know the renderer is bad but holy fuck that was terrible, i did not think it would let me go through solid objects.

I have decided to not play anymore until they do an optimization/bugfix patch

I dont play this game since encountering giant sea beasts who warp into existence around you because of deplorably shit code.

It's one thing to spook the shit out of me by having stuff lurking around but to just spawn garbage right on top of me is just a broken game.

Agreed, they really need to fix their garbage renderer and the billion other shitty problems before adding more god damn content

>play this again
>bugs
>but also bugs
>but also HOLY FUCK REAPER LEVIATHAN IN SAFE SHALLOWS

Clear your cache! That's a bug that's fixed in the experimental branch, but we have to wait for another patch to come out first. I recommend clearing it every time you finish up for the day, as if you don't, every save progressively lags the game more and more until it's unplayable. How-to is here, it's the 6th post down.

Bluh.

I've thought about getting this for a while, but open oceans still freak me out. Oceanic beaches are okay, but the idea of water full of god knows what for miles around makes my skin crawl. And not in a good, fun way like Alien: Isolation.

Pirate it, play it, see how much it gives you the willies, then ditch it or not.

You might stumble across solid land and build a habitat there, never to leave it again.

There's little jumping spider bastards on land though

I know.
I spent the night on a rock crawling with them.

Pepperoni Sunbeam, by the way.

I would appreciate greatly increased air reserves.

It's probably the only way they can make their nitrogen system work.

The game runs so fucking abysmally bad in its current state i cannot recommend it to anyone until they fix their shit. Constantly clearing your caches only does so much. I have had reaper leviathans pop into existence 20 meters in front of me. Last time i played i was in the floating islands zone in my seamoth looking for the wreck so i could scout it for fragments. I was pretty sure i was at the right place when it fucking rendered in all around me, trapping my fucking seamoth in a part of the wreck that had been rendered but was entirely inaccessible. I had to use cheats to teleport out and magic myself a new sub, my old one is still there constantly pinging and i don't think there is any way i can stop it at this point.

TL:DR game is good but the performance and bugs are so bad that no one should give them another fucking cent until they fucking fix their shit

Here's something that really pisses me off.

Crabsquid EMPs delete the contents of your torpedo bay in addition to temporarily draining all vehicle energy.
Crabsquids also tend to get the jump on you, and their EMP has massive range.

In other news I finally found the Sea Dragon Leviathan and HOLY FUCK THAT THING IS HUGE NOPE NOPE OUTTA HERE

I don't generally enjoy tripleposting, but is the Disease Research Center supposed to be untextured and uninteractable with on the inside?
Because I'm getting the feeling it isn't.

It's currently unfinished

> something in Subnautica doesn't work

Oh gee what a fucking surprise

Welp, time to switch to experimental

at least this way i'll have more features at no cost to stability

Is the game CPU bound? I only have a GTX 760 and have had relatively no issues with performance beyond what I usually do considering I have a GTX 760

It runs reasonably fine even on my old clunker.

Don't know why people complain about the performance, must be the usual clowns that pay double/triple money on a new pc and expect everything to run at silky 100 frame per second then nerd rage when it doesn't.

Although I do get some slow down when I explore a large area

Performance quickly drops with saves unless you clear your cache. People who have performance issues probably haven't done that.

This update gave me Carar.

What exactly does upgrading a save do anyhow?

Will there be stuff missing?

I think so, yes.

I wonder if this is another of those things that can be resolved by clearing the cache.

it's on sale so I finally decided to give it a shot

it's still downloading right now, but what are some common beginner mistakes that I can avoid?

don't go anywhere too quickly when you get the seamoth, or else a monster might render right in front of you or a wreck might render around your ship and trap you.

I'll just say again, the game is miles more fun if you turn on the unlimited oxygen cheat.

>needing to cheat

Can you skip the opening cutscene or
