Falling through the ground

Forgerer

Okay fell through the ground again. I saved this time I think that underground cave is there for a reason. If you fall through and are not fast enough to catch it let yourself fall chances are you will land in the underground cave I am sure you know how to get out of there. there are also floating island under there that will catch you that lead to the cave if you have your grapple hook or jet pack they will get you out. if you miss those islands well it was nice knowing you.

I've had that happen before sometimes, either due to random glitches or deleting the batches from a save file to fix game crashes. One time I had a problem where I would glitch through the ground in my base, and would be walking on the ocean floor with restricted mobility. By entering a hatch again, you could reset the logic and exit again, but what if you can no longer reach your base?

That's where the debug console comes into play. Using the command WARPME it will return you to the base/structure you last entered, but if that fails you can try another method. By pressing F3 the game will display your XYZ coordinates, and this information with the WARP command can place you walking on top of your base. If you approach the entrance of the hatch, you can pan the camera down and enter the base, which can fix the clipping issue.

Eh, I doubt that's WHY they're down there, more of a convenient coincidence. Clipping issues I think should be resolved when they go through their optimization / finalization phase, probably in late Dec or Jan based on their target release in February (of course that is subject to change).

I actually fell though the floor of the Alien Space Gun facility and had to wander around for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get out. Here is abridged video of the experience

Try clearing your terrain cache (delete CompiledOctreesCache from your saved game slot00xx folder)

maximus1825

Still not work!!!

Clearing the terrain won't put you back up where you're supposed to be. It will (hopefully) prevent you from falling through again. You still have to get back to where you want to be first. Try using the spawn commands to rescue yourself (after you exit your vehicle) and item 514 (terraformer) to rescue vehicles trapped under terrain. http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Debug_Console_Commands

I did what you told but i still falling through the ground in different points.

Nuts. If you have an SSD, try moving Subnautica to that, as it could be loading the ground collision mesh too slowly (and you land before that loads, so you fall through).

As each update occurs these thing get few and far between I haven't fell through the ground for some time, or crashed either (hope not to jinx it) now some things are coming up missing like the ground underneath my base it is still there cause my base hasn't moved but it is not there I can zoom through it with my moth and come out into the underground cave (nice short cut) but if I restart the game that fixes it.

Had a similar experience sometimes before the release of voice of the deep where the terrain wouldn't load in the hallway between the giant moon pool and the stairway area. I got stuck in the Floor there and had trouble getting out

I did not have the option move install folder in my subanutica properties.

Must first create a Steam Library on the drive you want to move it to, and restart Steam. Then it will show.

So you suggest that I try to move Subnautica to a SSD card?

Even on a SSD things will sometimes fall through the ground. I've fallen out of a cyclops and had to dig out my prawn a few times.

I would. I personally run Subnautica from my SSD.

maximus1825

Ok. But I don't have a SSD card, so it's better buy one or try another thing? And I can do this with a pen drive instead of a SSD card?

Well, if you get, say, a 120GB SSD (that's what I have, bigger is always better if you can afford it), you can move your Windows installation there, and just install your stuff that you don't always load up all the time on the normal hard disk (documents, videos, music, pictures, should all go on the normal disk as you won't notice any difference with them - you can re-direct your save location to the normal disk in Windows, if you need help with that, let me know).

Your boot times will go down to about 10-20 seconds from a cold power off to ready to load new programs. (Not the old "well, Windows is loaded, but you can't actually use it for another 1-2 minutes" deal that spinny disks are famous for).

So, regardless of whether it actually helps your Subnautica performance (and it should, at least a little, but it will help a lot if that's the bottleneck on your particular system) you'd want an SSD anyways. Once you've experienced using it, you'll never want to use a computer without one.

I can do this with an external HD instead of a SSD?

You'll also be limited by your interface if you do. If you have a USB 3 drive, using a USB 3 cable, plugged into a USB 3 port, then it might be worth it to use an external SSD.
