Be warned the koosh zone is full of angry assholes. Nothing as big and bad as the reaper but there are those shocking eel things and sharks all over the place.

Reminded of our earlier talk about underwater physics: I'm surprised the repulsion cannon doesn't just wreck whatever you shoot it at. The concussive effect it produces, combined with the way water transfers energy, should result in anything you fire it at getting really fucked up.

Maybe not the current propulsion cannon, but I bet the one the mech gets will.

Nabbed my seamoth upgrade station legit, also got the stasis rifle blueprints and found an errant chunk of cyclops engine, probably because i was bordering the mountains. Once i get my seamoth all pimped out i guess my next step is to try and get to the underwater islands without getting eaten so i can finish up the cyclops, engine is the only piece i don't have yet.

I find that other then reapers the wildlife dont give me too much trouble. As long as they dont sneak up on me and scare the fuck out of me i can kinda just bounce em away with my repulsion rifle

EDIT: Got all the engine pieces. God damn bonesharks are such assholes. Luckily i can roadkill them with my seamoth and then just weld up the vents. Time to build me a fuckhuege explorer sub

I am disgusted that you can't swap scanner room upgrades.
I suppose that's a bug, but my disgust remains.

Also, until I finished my interior decorating it's never dawned on my how comfy the Cyclops can be. All it needs now is a mini-biogenerator and I'm set for when the chargers are inevitably nerfed (as it stands now a cyclops will never run out of energy because chargers recharge cells faster than they drain them, compare to SS13.)

Wait, can you install cell chargers inside the Cyclops?

I do have to say that I am amused by the incomplete exosuit. When you attempt to dock the exosuit in it(which it allows) Physics... happens. Technically it also works in a moonpool. But I tried one and then it disappeared after I opened a door.

It even was in the update video.

...but...where the fuck does the charger draw power from?

That doesn't make any sense.

It's the equivalent of plugging an extension cable into itself for infinite electricity.

Exactly.
Do it now before it gets nerfed.

same technology that makes the cell chargers on space station 13 charge cells faster than they drain power from the APC

Finally got me a cyclops, busy tricking it out so that it is more or less self sufficient (other than needing to go back to my shallows base to stock up food and stuff). Where should i go now that i have this mean machine?

Floating island so you can get fruit tree seeds and the grow beds to plant them in... on your sub.

They do that now? I remember ages ago you could fuck the whole station over if you went and plugged a cell into the charger in engineering at round start. The APC would get murdered before we could fire the singularity up and everyone would have to start scrambling to get it replaced before people caught on and rioted.

Emitters run off SMESes now so engi APC doesn't die as fast.

Ahh, kids these days will never know the joy of caressing your engineer across the skull with a wrench because he plugged a cell in for his stun gloves too early.

Singulo hungers, fellow yellow.

I'm not sure about right now, but for a while chargers said "fuck you" to thermodynamics and created energy from nothing when charging cells. It was entirely possible to keep a department powered through a crisis by just endlessly cycling 2 cells between the APC and the charger.

not to mention robotics produces cells fully charged - which are atleast 10 times higher capacity than the original apc cells.

YEESH

COLD FUCKIN' SWEAT

Finally explored the Aurora now that i have my reaper-proof sub. Got to see some of the big fuckers up close, they really like trying to chew on the keel cam. Got some free upgrades and fixed the reactor core, looking to build a nice deepsea base somewhere now, preferably near hot vents for free power but i could also go nuclear as i have a decent stock of Uranium. Any recommendations? I was thinking maybe the Grand Reef, with a comfy window overlooking a herd of sea treaders.

Also holy fuck that sea dragon sounds like it is in extreme pain

/scaly/ is very excited for that dragon update.

You know what i'm hoping for?
Some sort of docking station for the Cyclops.

It's coming

Although it's more of a hitching post than an actual dock

Yeah, i imagine it will be more like an airplane's boarding tunnel thing than anything else.

I hope they add a module for the seamoth that allows you to pick up items without getting out. I want to eventually get to a point where i never have to actually leave my seabases/subs

So you're asking for basically a giant vacuum cleaner for your sub

That's what the Exosuit will be for.

Board from your habitat into the Cyclops, board from the Cyclops into the Exosuit, ejecting into the sea, wander around gathering using the internal storage, return to the Cyclops when finished and drive home.

Oh yeah i forgot the exosuit is habbening soon. I mean more along the lines of robot pincher hands that stick out the front of the seamoth and grab stuff

Fish ticklers come standard on the Exosuit

Messed around with the experimental build.
Exosuit is going to fucking bad ass.

Hope they don't nerf the jump jet upgrade, with it I was able to go from my base 200m down to about 10m in the air with fuel to spare.

Got a drill upgrade to mine outcroppings, doesn't currently work but its hands can pick up salt deposits and dead fish etc
Tried to pet my pet stalker with it but... well bad things happened... to the stalker.

Its got a pretty sizable internal storage, picked up items probably go straight into it - not sure though, didn't get a chance to check because then I tried out docking with my cyclops the cyclops starting break dancing with enough force that I was thrown straight out of the sub and then batted clean out of the water about 50 meters airborne.
Its still spinning...

CLANG strikes again

Note to self: never go wreck diving without a reel ever again.

Took a peak at their progress and roadmap stuff. saw this gem buried in there. You can make out the description text:



Fucking.wonderful.

Are those things a reference to something because I don't get it?

Sarcastic joy over more creepy underwater bullshit that wants to eat you.

The UI looks like it's from SWTOR

Doesn't it also say Hutta? Nal Hutta?

That screenshot is actually from SWTOR, know from experience. That screen's been there so long, like wayyyy before Subnautica was even playable. They've just been using it as an idea forever.

Well I hope they never get around to it.

Spears.
What we definitely do need is spears, maybe as another survival knife upgrade.
Stabbing things from range would be awfully practical for gardening. You know, acid mushroom spores.
Also for not getting bitten to death.

That aside, been cruising around in my cyclops home, eating lantern fruit, drinking my own piss and breaking the laws of physics to never run out of power. Intend to find and stasis a Reaper for that scan data.

Looks like they're done a lot of work on the exosuits.
Docking is still using the seamoth's as a placeholder though... so shit breaks badly if you use it.

But anyway, looks like the basic model is finished.
It starts off with two hands which you can use for grabbing stuff and punching fish in the face.

It arm has its own upgrade slot for equiping various handbits.
You've got the torpedo launcher (same as the moth's - currently broke)
Empty you have the Rocky hands
Theres a drill which can drill fish (not as good as punch punch punch though) but not much else currently
Propulsion cannon which is basically HL2's grav gun - can grab shit and store it on your storage for later lobbing at fish, grabbing range is a bit shit though.
Grapple.... this is a cannon that fires a grappling hook which will drop your exo towards the hook - can detach mid flight to jet boost at speed - should be good for getting around places, especially paired with upgraded jets.

Modules, looks like you'll be able to equip some but not all of the moth's upgrades.
Basically any upgrade that doesn't have Seamoth in it will work.
So thats depth, storage (increases the size of the back-mounted bay), armor, and power eff
Can not use Seamoth's sonar which is a shame. Or solar upgrade, but does have a thermal recharger for use near thermal vents.

Stop eating so much fatty

Remember, don't swim for half an hour after you eat or you get cramp.


Also fish respawn now

Solar panels got real models last patch.

900m is the current base crush depth for the exo

Can go to 1050 with an upgrade but the upgrades dont stack#


Edit: So yeah one dumb thing.
You know the rocky outcrops you can smash apart with the butt of your probably sensitive handheld scanner or even your bare hands?
Yeah, the exo's fists of fury can't break those.

I always thought it was kinda funny that you just smash whatever you're holding against a fucking rock to dig for stuff.

Unfortunately when you're holding a fish he doesn't clobber it against the outcropping but it defaults to you tinking away at it with some invisible pick instead.

I like to think he bites it would explain leaking air faster than a popped balloon

Little birdy tells me the next update should be out some time next week.

Literally every time someone posts in this thread I think "whoops, looks like an update dropped".

I've yet to be wrong.

Sweeeeet. I love this game, very relaxing (kinda). Though I really wish they'd add a co-op to it, but from what I can see thats not even on the table.

Far future.

Apparently there won't be an update this week... or this month after all

Last time I trusted you.
