Heya Devs / Fellows of the community
I'm not entirely sure what the Devs planning for the game, but I would love to have some random events in at least survival mode, such as.
[list]
- Random tsunamis that can damage sections of your base, at least those above the surface --- Might be hard to implement ?
- Fierce storms that bring out the worst in Subnautica, such as fierce creatures --- Might be hard to implement ?
- Random malfunctions inside the base, such as flooding, power loss, oxygen loss and temperature loss. Be able to use welder or a new tool (repair tool?) to repair --- Shouldnt be that hard to implement since we already have powerloss, flooding etc.
- Random events where large swarms of fish swarming your base (without damage it) before they head off in the blue --- Might be a fps-shit-storm ?, but hell of a show to watch from inside.
- Random events in the Cyclops where pressure compensator malfunctioning and you have to emergency surface or similar issues --- Should be possible since the Cyclops already can flood and sink.
[/list]
Well I think you know what I mean, something to spice up your time in Subnautica, sometimes its a little to calm, especially around your Safe Shallows and most of the times around your own base.
Let me know what you think, and also let me know if Devs already working on something similar.
Best Regards

Consider:
[list]
[*] Solar Panels would not recharge (better have your bio reactors etc running)
[*] Predators might be in an excited state, thinking its night
[*] Game fish might be sluggish, thinking its night...or they might become confused and aggressive since the Big Storm is when certain plant life release spores/toxins in the water to reproduce, and it drives the fish nuts.
[*] Someone caught on a dive without a light source might have real trouble getting home, or to safety.
[*] Plants on the surface might be damaged, destroyed, or at least stripped of their fruit. Maybe they grow slower for a long time after the storm.
[*] Shallow waters would become the opposite of safe, because of strong wind driven wave/current action across the rocks and reefs.
[*] Any building that is less than a certain depth (say <30m deep), might be damaged by sudden pressure changes or having debris flung into it.
[*] It would be another opportunity to curse your PDA, when it pipes up with a pleasant "Warning. Radar scans indicate an extremely large storm cell is approaching. Barometric pressure is dropping rapidly, and ambient light levels are falling. Please seek shelter immediately."

Simply love it, especially the last part, have to wait out a storm in your base, and you can hear your base creaking and thumping and at the same time you get power and flooding issues... Errrrrrr
The water will stay acidic for 2 days then everything will return to normal, unless your an impatient person(like me) you can neutralize the water
Underwater currents / thermoclines etc would also be very cool.
What about currents, too? Much like the Sea Treader path, it is a migration technique that smaller fish use to get from A to B. Shoals of Peepers riding this current would look amazing. Perhaps it runs from the Dunes, around the Sparse and Grand Reef and into the Grassy Plateau where it finishes. If you use the Seamoth or Cyclops in this current it would loose a lot of health, so it is advised to go in alone. Also imagine the Reefbacks. Not going too fast, I'd imagine, just slightly faster than usual. Currents are something I've wanted for a while, but I've just never talked about it until now.
Nice ideas, all of you
Exactly what I was thinking
