  • I'd actually like to see the wrecks of other ships instead of the Degasi. I mean... doesn't this planet have a history of missing ships going back some thirty years? Some old derelict spaceships from other times, or even other species would look rea…

    To keep people from drilling to places without going through the proper entrances. They are making precursor bases with enemies and turrets and such, which would be rendered useless if you can just tunnel in from below. Or just tun…
  • I kind of hope they add in a use for the bed. Like advancing time through the night to the next day.

    Really? I just load up on tanks and use the seaglide.

    Try the Jelly Shroom Caves. Thats where I found the multipurpose room fragments.
  • What I want to know is why you can't use the laser cutter on enemies. Go Isaac Clarke on that boneshark butt.

    I tried this, it doesn't work for me. The xbox controller I'm using doesnt seem to work properly. Thats after I enabled controller use.
  • Me three.

    Just happened today.
  • Its funny, I started a new game and decided I was going to make a base without a multipurpose room, to try that out. And then I noticed I didn't have it. Honestly, making a base with two X connectors and two corridor pieces is room enough. The only …
  • Now the real question. Do you all have your solar panels facing east? I know mine are.

    Does anyone have a link to the concept arts of these other subs?
  • I kind of hope the rocket tech enables rocket shuttles between bases. That would be cool. It would almost be a shame for it just to be a win condition.

    That said, getting the tech and building your own rocket to escape the planet sounds …

    In all seriousness, the Abyss was part of my childhood. It helped instill in me a fascination with the ocean and its depths that is still there today.
  • By the shore in Jersey, you can't see your feet if you dunk them into the water. Stuffs dark. This ocean is plenty clear. The only visibility problems are in the dark.
  • Honestly, maybe a torpedo turret should be the 'easiest' turret to unlock. But it shouldn't be the final one. Torpedos are terrible. You have to craft and load them up, they are innacurate, and then you have the collateral damage.

    What I…
  • I assumed the aboveground bases would have solar panels. And the Jelly Shroom one would have thermal power. Maybe the devs can add ruined versions of those nearby. Maybe even make them scannable as well.

    You say that. I try to plan my trips so I spend my nights in the base. Organize my storage, craft things, read PDA's and new scans. Maybe build an attachment or do interior decorating.

    Whats bad is when I'm on the move …
  • I'm actually surprised this topic hasn't been locked. I'm actually sad with what happened. This moved from an interesting discussion to childish name calling.
  • I've seen 'defensive turret structure' on the developer roadmap. Both as a enemy and something for you to make.
  • Wow, you guys might want to work on making your points without coming off as condescending assholes.
  • I found the floating island on my first playthrough by loading up the Seamoth and following the general directions put in by the message left in the communications array about dry land.

    I found the mountain islands by cruising around the…
  • At least you can access the Seamoth from below in the Cyclops hold to remove the power cell and repair the hull with the welder. They might add hatches in the floor on the top deck to let you access the storage bay in the future. Or they might just …
  • Not implimented yet. The wiki says it will be placed in the Grand Reef when it is. But thats subject to the whims of developers.
  • Heres the way I see it. What your fabricator comes loaded with is only the absolute basic necessities of survival. It has to be like that, because the hard drive has to hold enough blueprints to fabricate survival equipment for every possible crashl…
  • Except the PDA's on the floating island specifically state they made a base there because there were no predators on the island.
  • There is a way. Make a surface predator. Something like a killer whale, who's prey is surface swimming creatures. As it is, you can paddle your butt pretty much anywhere with some cured fish and disinfected water. But something like this would put a…
  • Yeah, at night, driving the Cyclops is a super PITA. And don't get me started on driving it into caves. I had to launch the seamoth... pilot it around, and leave it, swim back to the Cyclops and use the seamoth as a beacon.

    Derp. Thanks for catching that. Edited and fixed.
  • You can't. I was just being silly. I did do a 1 to 1 recreation though. The only thing I couldn't get right were the spotlights. They don't snap along the curvature of the hull like they should, so I settled instead for one on top of each location t…
  • I'm willing to bet that the only survivor we're going to find of the Degasi is going to be Baal. If we find anyone at all. The way things seem to be shaping up, your journey is going to be following theirs, for the most part. And wherever it ends, y…
