Coming Up: Seamoth - Subnautica

A new Subnautica update is under construction. It’s going to be called ‘Seamoth,’ and could arrive anywhere between two and four weeks from now (Or more! Always exercise caution when...

Can you guys work on the seamoth flashlights? They aren't very useful.

I realised I did not submit one feedpack thing I would LOVE to be in with the upgrade console. (and I shall happily shove it in F8 if needed.)

I was standing at the panel and did not realise fully its interactive. (I expected a menu popup, wrongly as the cyclop does not have one also.)
Thats not the big concern no. Its the modules panel. It took me more time then id like to admit to realise the panel is on the seamoth itself.
Now in hindsight this makes sense, but back then I was looking at it on the colour panel, and wondering why it did not give.

Perhaps a image of a seamoth blueprint with a circle or something on its wing to depict the panel, would be a nice art addition on the colour panel?

Is some sort of low power notification on the Seamoth possible? I recently got stranded in the Jelly Shroom Caves at the end of making a video.

Cheap_Shot · August 2015

Does the camera still auto snap forward while piloting the seamoth? I'm used to mouselooking independently of the directions I'm moving in games so I can search for resources and study the environment while traveling. I couldn't do this in your game however (at least last I played it.) The camera literally struggling against me to return face forward while I was trying to look around actually made me >>incredibly<< nauseous and I haven't played since. I really love your game too, so I hope this changes. I'm an illustrator and concept artist and this is the kind of game I'd love to work on.

DC_Darkling · August 2015

I do not fully understand you cheapshot, but the seamoth is point and go. It goes where you point. You can not look around while going in a straight line, like the cyclops.

Saluxgamer · August 2015

Thanks for the wonderful game so far! I just was curious if the new creative mode will have an option to keep the need for food, water, and power? I like a little of both worlds and feel I might not like the game as much if I were forced to choose pure creativity or pure survival. That's what drew me to the console commands to begin with (and the fact that nothing respawned when I first started playing). Being able to switch between the two makes the game way more fun because god mode/having everything you want gets boring fast and so does grinding for basic needs.

destroyah87 · August 2015

Looks pretty awesome. Very excite. Can't wait.

So, at a guess, this is when the Seamoth depth upgrades and depth limits of same will come into play.

Dragonkidd10 · August 2015

I was wondering when is the exosuit going to be out? it's an awesome idea and i'm really curious. if someone could tell me it would be greatly appreciated.

BigChapJ · August 2015

Things are looking positive for our friend, the Seamoth. Perhaps, in this update, we will see the Seamoth getting that repair patch it so desperately needs. I hate having to clutter the map with more than one Seamoth after one breaks... You can't repair them as of now... At least in Freedom mode. Are any of you out there having this trouble in Survival?

I'm also very excited to see further animations. Still waiting for the Diving Hatch outer doors to get the open/close function like the Seamoth Docking Station on the Cyclops. Also, I would like to see the steering wheel get some attention. That lever on top of the Seamoth needs used as well for opening the hatch

Can't wait! We love you, Subnautica Team.

Now you know what would be great to add for that torpedo system you're thinking of putting on the Seamoth? actual death animations and limp body physics for the dead sea creatures.

The Vortex Torpedoes are not explosive.
From what I can gather they'll be like a projectile Grav Sphere that pulls in stuff as it flies away

Skynin · September 2015

Can we have this update tomorrow? Please?

tarek · September 2015

These updates are awesome and have yet to be a letdown. One thing I would like (which may be turned into upgrade modules) would be a trade-off customization. aka, for cyclopse you could get it with more glass up front for a lot better visibility, but then it would take more dmg. Or for the seamoth faster speed but it turns slower. Interesting trade offs to make it more your style. One thing I think will be saddening late(er) game is all the upgrade modules will be taken up with deeper diving to make it runable. IMO the increased depth modules should be something found in the capsule box things all over and should be researched and then permanently added to your seamoth and not take a upgrade space. Then your custom slots will make it run your way rather than merely able to run again. Also with that the devs nurfed seamoth in one of those patches, so you could still have zones that you need to explore in the stronger cyclopse to find the boxes that would let u upgrade seamoth to work in that depth.

IronicCookies · September 2015

The tank shouldn't be stored in the inventory, that just doesn't make any sense. Also, if you guys are going to make a new slot for the tank, I would like to have two tanks be able to combine so it increases air by 30 seconds each time you combine a new tank. And I'd like to see range weapons, and weapons for the seamoth.

Aquatarkus · September 2015

Please add more upgrade slots for the Seamoth. 4 is not enough.
Would be nice to allow 3 depth, 2 storage, 2 or more defense. (maybe a 9 slot grid)

The alternative to this, is set it up, so that when you add depth ,storage, solar charge, and power increase upgrades, it does not take up any slots (or any of the 4 user radio buttons.) Just have it go "Ding", and you get the upgrade added -case closed. (make them permanent non-alterable or removable additions)

...or something like mentioned here. EG:

PS...also please make the sonar sound like a "Ping" instead of Cyclops horn.

Thanks !!! (much better)

Just build multiple Seamoths if you want to fight and explore and carry stuff and recharge in the sun and detect things via sonar.

I have one for exploration, docked inside my base, and one for fighting, ready to rapid deploy from my Cyclops.

zetachron · September 2015

Now I got these detectors for the seamoth, while I can find everything easily, except silver. And guess what kind of detector helps me find silver in the red weed fields? Metal won't help - everything there is metal. And the big fuss is that it's protected.

Maybe I just shock the sharks and biters to death and recharge in sunlight? Then take my time to find the silver among dead predators. But I get a headache when I look at my giant stocks of useless gold.

The gold really doesn't have much use, I am hoping they let us use the workbench for battery + gold to make better batteries. Then if they make the 'special systems' EX. sonar. drain more battery while being used, it MIGHT be worth carrying batteries instead of only moonpool recharging. also yay for anything to spend gold on xD

zetachron · September 2015

Finally tested the electroshock defense on the reapers in experimental hardcore. Thought it would be the last thing I do, but guess what? The electroshock defense works for the reapers. Good enough to visit the Aurora with the seamoth again and again, while fixing it from time to time with the welder.

Now I've got nothing to do for the cyclops. This sitting duck of submarine is useless right now. Time for the Sea Leviathans and Emperors or whole hordes of reapers to put the fear back into me and my little seamoth.
