    Exploding could be funny and cool but personally I enjoy the Grand Reef as a quiet and safe retreat.
  • There are many magic fins in this world and none of them should be used lightly.

    If you experience fish cravings, extreme weight loss or feel compelled to stroke or talk to your fins, cease use immediately and seek professional help.
  • A seamoth with the electric shock module should let you kill most things safely.

    If by seeds you mean the glowing yellow ones, those can also be planted outside your base in an external planter or inside with two multi purpose rooms buil…
  • Fins?

    The interwebz says that silicon can be manufactured to be conductive or not. I don't think it's clear exactly how the swim charge fins work but since they in Should we keep our fire extinguishers? Comment by Halios July 2016

    I don't hate the idea but the map isn't huge and being able to warp between bases would make it seem even smaller.

    In a seamoth you can cross the map fairly quickly. Reapers are the only danger and they can either be av…

  • Mmm. Bucket. Interesting idea.

    Maybe lifepods in an undamaged state would be relatively resistant to the effects of water. But a crashed lifepod with exposed wiring.... Are we wearing rubber boots?
  • They typically haven't been monthly and the last one was just one month ago.

    Erm... well I don't think that's quite what they were thinking of. More along the lines of let's go native rather than colonising and ravaging this planet.

    I'm sure that in this future age of space travel and colonising other planets that fire extinguisher technology has also advanced to become less messy.<…

    The last update was only a month ago looking at what's in the Done, Doing and To Do columns on their in Two questions for the devs Comment by Halios July 2016

    Yeah I reckon there'll be more fragment juggling between now and release to get this kind of thing in order. Though personally I've only ever buil…
  • If you've read the data downloads and know that their general plan is something along the lines of Avatar (which they've said in the steam forums), that'll give you a fair idea of what the story is.
  • I always stash mine in a locker, because that's what I would do if I really crash landed like that.

    I figured as much but that being the case, you will need to make them craftable via the fabricator or obtainable again in some …
  • Kill it, see if it respawns, then come back and tell us. You've got nothing to lose.

    Asserting that such drives require a particular material to operate isn't nitpicking. It's just wrong. Because warp drives aren't known to exist outside the realm of fiction.

    Some of us remember life before the mutli-purpose room. It is possible to have a fully functioning base - with the exception of large tank, bio-reactor and nuclear reactor - without a multi-purpose room. It's possible and it needn'…
  • Everything takes time to develop and I just can't see this being very value adding.
  • I reckon the other survivors are still alive and around but no longer human.

  • Personally I think the shark one's design is too literal. I don't hate it but I think the other two are more sophisticated and original.

    It's a matter of both graphics and story. While we haven't seen much of it yet, Subnautica is going to ship live with a full story and that's going to involve the game map we have.

    In terms of graphics, there's a certai…

    Do you mean the underwater or above ones? Either way plants and such can be equally problematic above and below.

    Placing foundations in the right place is the key. I generally identify a high piece of 'land' in the vici…
  • It's not entirely clear what you're asking for - volunteers to become moderators or an existing moderator to assign the role to your people.

    If it's the latter, I'd say contact the devs directly. I doubt they want their subreddit going f…
  • Been looking forward to having the exosuit forever. I wonder if they're reaper proof....
  • I don't know that I would wait until the next update. Not that I want to paint the devs as slack or anything but updates are only semi-regular. They're sensibly only released when they're ready. No telling how long until the next one. Buy now!
  • I hadn't noticed any and Steam normally won't stop pestering me about survival games. I think I know at least a few of the ones you're talking about and I don't really think they are SN copies.

    It's not the only suit you can wear. But if you don't fix the Aurora you either can't wear the other suit, have to carry around a rad suit and change into it when travelling nearby or keep your distance. The still-suit only cuts do…
    in Why repair? Comment by Halios May 2016
  • Terrain is fixed. Resource placement is semi-random (seem to be set locations they can spawn and new games randomly distribute nodes amongst those). Fish shouldn't be random - not like you say here.

  • There is quite a bit to find in the game and you may not have found every nook and cranny. But yes, there is a limit and beyond that you're just hanging out in the ocean for the fun of it.

    I've not tried it recently but I have done that with salvage and stalkers.

    Might be better than nothing, but wouldn't it mean that fauna would be in different places in everyone's games? So a reaper could be eating my face and I could be all panicking and screaming and my friends would think I've gone mad?
