To what extent will development continue after 1.0?

I know that the ghost leviathan, rock puncher, and an arctic biome will possibly be added post-1.0 but outside of bugfixes will the devs continue to add to the game? It'd be nice to have more creatures, plants, biomes, etc.

    Well, if Subnautica ends up anything like Natural Selection 2, they should be adding to it for years to come.

    UWE has a history of supporting/extending their games for quite a while after "1.0" release. At the very least, I expect that as long as new players keep coming in there will still be new development -- as they have portrayed at least a desire to keep going.

    Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying $20-30 - even for a tiny portion of the possible enhancements.

    This is my favourite game.

    There is also so much that could be added:
    - More content
    - Mod tools
    - Persistent survival mode (storms damaging structures near the surface, creatures attacking bases at depth, precursor droids and/or warpers harassing you if you use precursor tech, maybe even a carar zombie mode where you have to spread an antidote).

    All the "Maybe after V1.0" stuff + LI & TB biomes & any terraformer repurposing is probs enough for another two years. I hope there'll be resources to implement all of it; I'd def pay for it.

    It'd be nice to see the world expanded beyond 1.0. So much potential here with this game. They could further add to existing biomes, re-implement things that may have been cut during development (The Rock Puncher, the ILZ/LR alternate entrances, etc) and add completely new stuff. Maybe even extend the map borders, put a second Dunes on the opposite side of the Aurora?

    This is sorta crazy but maybe they could add ways to actually befriend and ride almost all creatures? Of course not the Sea Dragon or Sea Emporer, but decent sized ones like stalkers or even reapers

    I think that's sort of what the egg hatching does, though right now it seems they revert to default hostile AI after a while. They won't follow you around either, which is a shame. Would be nice to have a Stalker or Bone Shark that you could say "wait here for me" or "follow me" <3

    They definitely intend to add more content to the game after full 1.0 hits. I'd be personally very happy to see the Twisty Bridges biome become a real thing. I wouldnt think they will implement more story elements as its supposed to be completed for v1.0 tho. As for the pricing of possible expansions, since the game is forseen to be priced @19.95$ at v1.0 im pretty sure add-ons/expansions will be much cheaper than 20 box per thankfully :wink:

    If you follow THIS LINK you'll see at the MAYBE AFTER v1.0 column all those things they never had time/resources to finish for v1.0 that could potentially come to the game later on. It gives a fairly good idea of potential future features. What comes to attention immediately to me for example is the cyclops dock one, something the community has been asking for since forever to be a thing :smiley:

    I would pay any amount of money for this game, dlc, items, anything! I am going to get absolutely everything I can for this game.

    Any amount?

    Errr ... I've just written a DLC for Subnautica. Only costs 453,000 kr PayPal is an accepted form of payment please. :D

    If the devs would release the soundtrack as a DLC on steam I'd buy it instantly.

    Technically, one can already "hitch a ride" on just about all of the bigger creatures, just use the PRAWN Grappling Arm.

    The Spiketrap is not within the 'maybe after v1.0'-column on Trello, does anyone know wether its pretty much dead now?

    Right now you can give stalkers fish and they'll fetch metal scraps for you but I wonder if they'll ever be fully tameable...

    This doesn't seem like a bad idea. Or at least like, set up a titanium drop point and train a stalker to bring you titanium, and it'll drop off the metal, and the base will release a live fish you've loaded into the storage tank.

    Here's hoping for Terraria-level of game content changes! I imagine they'll add a significant amount of polished post-1.0 content.

    The column isn't the be all end all. Several things not in it still have a likelihood of being implemented, like the Lilypad Islands and another use for the terraformer. With as much work as has already been done on the spiketrap, I doubt it's off the table yet (any more than any other "not before V1.0 content").
