So, I'm starting this thread to ask about a couple of rumors that I've heard, and if they are true (=confirmed by devs), or really just rumors brought in by normal people like you and me. I'm just listing them here, I'm asking you (the community) to confirm of bust them. So, here we go:
-The crabsquid is going to be in the blood kelp biome
-The reefbacks that are now in the game are only juveniles
-Warpers are sentient
-Sea Emperor and Warpers are in some way related
-Sea Emperor is going to be bigger than the Sea Dragon
-Sea Dragon is going to be a 'special' kind of creature (so no random spawns like stalkers, bonesharks, reapers, etc.)
-Sea Dragon is going to be in the Inactive lava zone
I probably have another few, but this is all I can come up with now. Again, I'm not stating these are facts. These are just rumors I've heard around the interwebs, and I'm only asking if any of this is true.
1 final thing: Any news regarding the creatures mentioned above? As in, when they are going to be implemented?

Sea Emperor is gonna be the biggest baddest king-kong bastard on the planet.
Still, I remember someone quoting a dev saying that they had a special role in mind for the sea dragon
Dark Matter can't melt plasteel beams!
Wake up Sheeple!
And the crew that died couldn't be revived by infantry portals doe no power
You forget that there were certain influential people on board that the Terran Dominion MIIIIGHT have wanted gone.
*insert scary music here*
Damn it! Cryptic teasers do NOT really help!
It's been a while since I played though, does the blood kelp biome contain these mushrooms too?
this badboy over here.
As far as I know, the crabsnake is still going to be in the mushrooms. But they're working on implementing it (trello: https://trello.com/c/voK92RTV), so we'll see!
Just sayin', but that's gonna glomp our face and make us wrestle the reaper leviathan. Possibly succesfully.
Best response of all time.
On that subject, I've said it before, I'll gladly say it again.
WANT.
Especially if we get to wrestle with it in one of these three ways:
You must watch at background messages!
I think I don't understand what you're meaning with that, care to elaborate?
I think they found fresh meat for Subnautica ...
Top kek.
That doesn't make it any less cryptic...
We already live on an alien planet! ;-)
Since the plasteel is made of titanium and lithium, it should melt fairly easily...... Why is it so strong anyway? It would be very light, but not all that strong.
Which is a good thing. More weight means more sinking. But, the strength... you're right. That's why the Cyclops can only go to 200 meters before you're boned.
Not really. Real life submarines are made of steel, and they work just fine. The thing with titanium is that it is about as strong as steel, but a good deal lighter. This makes it ideal for spacecraft, planes, and missiles. But because of the air space in submarines, weight isn't really an issue. In fact, I expect that using titanium instead of steel would make it need bigger ballast tanks, and thus actually be a bad thing. Lithium is very light, but EXTREMELY soft, so the more you alloy it into something, the weaker and lighter it becomes. This means that a titanium-lithium alloy is really not what you want for a submarine. I can see something like the seamoth being improved by a titanium hull, since it is obviously meant to be portable, has much less air space in it than the cyclops, and is built for speed and agility. So lightness would be a strength for it. But for a workhorse like the cyclops, steel would be cheaper and better than a titanium hull, and MUCH better than a titanium-lithium one.
What does the Devs think about it (sorry for the double post)?
You have a point with all of that everything, except one part. Steel would be better, true... it wouldn't be cheaper though. There is exactly zero steel available anywhere. But, you're right. Pure titanium would be better than titanium-lithium alloy, but I think they added the lithium for balance reasons (and to give lithium a purpose). Actually, the best material would probably be something like tungsten: hyper-dense, little ballast needed, but also incredibly strong. But, again, I have found zero tungsten.
Well, realistically steel is much easier to get than titanium. Titanium dioxide is common enough, but unless you need paint, it isn't all that useful. Refining it into metallic titanium is quite difficult, and needs a lot of energy. Iron, on the other hand, would be super common on any rocky planet, and is relatively easy to process into steel.
