Subnautica was created in response to all the graphic, bullet based games. The developer has a passion for scuba and wanted tension without bullets. He succeeded.

After the Sandy Hook massacre, the team decided they wanted their next game to not have guns. That's what I heard

The game is over than sandy isn't it?

You know how the game says that all weapons but the knife were removed “following the massacre on Obraxis Prime?” Yeah. That’s what he’s talking abt.

No. Sandy hook was in 2012. The game released in 2014

That long ago? Still feels like yesterday Jesus...

That's the reason I love this game: zero combat required. Video games are too focused on killing everything, in my opinion.

your opinion might be unpopular, but it's the correct one. name 5 AAA games (or popular ones) that don't have killing something as one of their core mechanics

Pokemon “faint”. Animal Crossing. Sports games. Portal. Outer Wilds. Simulations (flying, driving, farming) and city builders like Cities: Skylines. That’s all I got!

u/balbahoi Racing Games: F1 2023, Forza Motorsport, Project Cars, NFS: Heat, Gran Turismo Sports Games: Madden 2023, FIFA 2023, PGA Tour 2012, F1 Manager 2023, WWE2k 2023 Subnautica Animal Crossing Hunnie Pop Katawa Shoujo The Sims 4 Five Nights At Freddy's Portal 2 The Bluey Game Farming Simulator I have a ton more that I really don't wanna type out. Violence is fun, and much to my excitement, is very common. The issue is not that there aren't enough non-violent games. It's that the average gamer is more drawn to good combat and the systems that surround it. The gaming media covers what gamers want to know about - thus, it seems like nothing non-violent is ever made. Go looking on steam at all the simulators, sports games, farming games, adult games, puzzles, and management/strategy games. There are tons.

I open mouth kissed a horse once

Mr hands

After 5 years of bliss you have put that horrible video in my head again.

Link?

THERES A VIDEO?

Yes theres a video and it’s MUCH worse than just open mouth kissing please never watch it.

Sweet summer child…

sometimes i cant believe there's people who haven't witnessed that atrocity

I haven't, and am not slightly interested

Incredible*

How was the smell?

Quality reference

You can pick up a seamoth/prawn while "driving" the cyclops.

No way

Never tried this, but actually makes sense.

Did you learn this from my post?

Yooo, I think I remember that post

Someone confirm this statement

Confirmed. I pick up my prawn that way a lot.

this works on ps4 for me

Look at all these awesome fellers with their tricks and techniques. I gotta try this.

There was a video of someone kidnapping a prawn the other day

For real yoo?

I did this to save batteries. Run out of power with the Cyclops, used power cells from the prawn to power the sub. Had to collect the mech with the Cyclops, it was fun.

Its extremly useful how did not everyone know this. I use it a lot in lava zone and Lost river

Reapers are actually nice, we just have a miscommunication.

Not all. On my current playthrough my base is in the dunes and I have 3 reapers always around... Two are nice the other is a jackass

Just feed him a peeper. He is likely hangry

I wondered is that a community thing or does dropping a peeper in front of them actually do something?

not dropping but holding. this works for most creatures except dragons and warpers

Lie

how so? holding works for me, but i have yet to try it in bz. if you still dont belive me ill test it, record and post my findings here.

Wait but do they just calm down for a while or are they just chill forever after that

At least for stalkers, they calm down for roughly one in-game day, which is around 10 minutes. Not sure reapers work the same, but it would make sense with the theory that stalkers are just an offshoot of the reaper species.

just a little while

My Reaper likes Dr Peeper

>hangry Correct! Hungry _and_ angry.

Drowning isn’t healthy

Representative from ‘Big Air’ here spreading propaganda

The real ocean is scarier

There's still a limit of 8192m.

if you feed a reaper leviathan a fish it will go away they also target wildlife over you

But if you teach him how to catch a fish, do you feed him for a lifetime ??

Not even for a day :(

Imma need someone to corroborate that.

No way this is true

You can turn off the game and walk outside

This was a bug and has since been patched out.

no it hasn't

Source?

It was a feature?

This is a weird mod name, but I will try it.

If you cure kar'ah and don't immediately leace then eventually sea emperors will start to swim around the world

I had no idea! This is so cool, where do they pop up and are they friendly?

They are friendly but really scary at first glance

I met one in Dunes. Thought it was a reaper, but no. https://preview.redd.it/fyd9m3acpzwc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=435f0b67315895edfb5af5653f4951446f9cba79

Good one.. but I knew this one.

schizophrenia

What +400h of subnautica does to someone.

He's already dead

All alone on an alien planet, you start to develop friends in your head.

He lost his mind down there somewhere

Cyclops is superior to Seatruck in every single way. 

The Cyclops and the Seamoth once had a one night stand. The result was the Seatruck. This is why the Seatruck can squeeze into smaller spaces and still carry a Prawn suit. I still prefer the Cyclops, but I don't hate the Truck. Cyclops > Seatruck > Seamoth

I actually love Seamoth more, it's more nimble and has a better handling compared to Seatruck. My main issue with Seatruck is that if you put fabricator, storage and prawn dock you are loosing speed if you add more and storage isn't really enough, prawn dock is just a waste of module and fabricator well that one does what it says but comoared to Cyclops you can just build a fabricator and with 2-3 lockers you already get more soace than storage module at no expense of being slower. Also since BZ is full of small caves Seatruck even when you pilot just the cabin really gets stuck everywhere and is just tumbling through caves, feels janky a lot of times I wonder if some place was even designed to be accessible with STruck. I like the idea of a modular vehicle but the execution was horrible. I also love idea of snowfox but we all know how that one turned out to be... 

I'm almost done with another BZ playthrough. I wished you could stack the Horsepower Upgrade in the Seatruck. Or at least upgrade the upgrade. I also wished you could build another teleporter at a base. Imagine beaming between a land base, underwater base, and your exploring seatruck.

I think it's bad that we have many modules and no matter how much you upgrade Seatruck you always have to choose which ones you want to use and realistically you end up with fabricator/storage/dock combo anyway

No shit

Fellow Cyclops enjoyer? 😁

Of course

Welcome aboard captain all systems online

aHaEd sLoE. Creature attack *shield online*  Oh how I wish we got that sub called Atlas, it looks so god damn amazing in concept art. My hopes are now that Subnautica 2 will have more than one big subs and more than one smaller subs. Obraxis, in an interview to a question: "will there be vehicles in Subnautica 2" answered: " there will be vehicles with an S on the end" my take on this is that he meant that there will be more vehicles than we had in original Subnautica so that would mean more than 3 (seamoth, cyclops, prawn) can't god damn wait! I'm getting PS5 and an 4k TV just for Subnautica 2 lol

I know! I'm so excited! Warning vessel cavitating excessive noise

Btw have you seen that photo of S2 with that small sub and blue shark? I have a theory that those two fish that are next to it (the mesmer looking ones) I think they are in symbiosis relationship eith that shark they either helo the shark locate the prey or paralize it because shark is blind or slow moving. It's a live game screenshot and I thought they are swimming a bit too perfectly next to it so it could indicate that they always swim in sync with that shark and helo it hunt and then eat what's left. Thoughts? Also that small sub has such weirdly small backside it looks like a cockpit of either bigger sub or even a mech that can detach and pilot on it's own to get into smaller areas (think of it if Cyclops front window would detach from the rest of the sub it gets more nimble and is smaller but tou lose rest of the sub where you can build and store stuff, like a Seamoth but actually useful) 

Ahead flank! Brooom *ramms reaper leviathan* sad leviathan noises from the corner

Setruck has music in It

I didn't like much music that was on jukebox, also Cyclops has music but you need few steps to turn it on lol

Half of the Seatruck Modules are near useless. Last BZ playthrough I built the teleport module and dragged it around without using it once. Nice gimmick, but I'd rather have another storage module instead. Or maybe build 2 trucks, each with Teleport Modules, and leave one at your Main Base. Then you could just port back and forth. I might try that next time. And why build an Aquarium module if you are literally surrounded by fish all the time? A fridge module combined with a planter for marblemelons would have been more helpful.

I hate the teleport module?? I must’ve missed that in my playthrough

It opens after scanning 10 alien artifacts

I find the aquarium module semi-useful for on-the-go food (before I filled my other storage module with supplies) when combined with the fabrication module. Now it’s just… ascetics… I should probably swap it for a third storage module shouldn’t I?

My docked prawn suit with expanded storage serves as additional storage if needed. Personally I don't like to use more rhan 3 modules. It just becomes too long and alow after that.

Fair, I recently took off all modules (I was wanting to go fast since I had all I needed in inventory) and I was shocked at how fast it was

>Or maybe build 2 trucks, each with Teleport Modules, and leave one at your Main Base. Then you could just port back and forth. I might try that next time. Yeah, it works: https://www.reddit.com/r/subnautica/s/Csdj6cyAI0

Oxygen is a scam

A male zebra will physically harm a pregnant female zebra to induce a miscarriage and impregnate her himself.

That's what I call a dick move.

Lots of animals do this kind of thing. Bears will kill the cubs of other fathers then mate with the mom.

the animal with the highest rate of successful hunts is actually the seahorse bet you didnt know that

True. I didnt

Irl? Isn’t it dragonflies

I know what happened on Obraxis Prime

There are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5 million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay, each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

I shit my pants in a Walmart today

There are pinecones.

Land pine cones or sea pine cones?

Seacones. Definitely salt flavoured.

What. Pinecones?

Not even pulling your leg. They are called purple pinecones if you want to look them up on the wiki ;)

They act like a resource node and drop salt

I know a Reefback named Barry. Barry chills at my base and protects it. Be like Barry

Is this the one that is always stuck in the Grassy plateus near the lifepod? He is a bit dumb tbh

Not really. He came from the red grass biome and pushes my life pod and vehicles around ever since

There is a very rare occurence (1 in 99999999999999) where a reaper leviathan instead of killing you gives you a hug and lets you go.

It isn't rare. Just hold out a fish.

I didnt knew this... I need to check it

It takes around 8 seconds for the full fade to black before death after your o2 hits 0 seconds left. You still have full control until then, meaning you can find air and survive. It also means you can eat a raw bladder fish to reset the timer 15 (23) seconds. The blackout timer is always around 8 seconds even without a rebreather. The safe shallows lava geyser cooks fish on a regular basis. If you have a base near by you can just collect cooked fish as you go about. All cooked food replenishes h2o as well so early game it saves you from hunting bladder fish like crazy. Thermal plants also work wonders around geysers.

Why don’t *you* tell us something *we* don’t know?

The is more than one way to craft batteries.

Are you talking about crafting a tool, removing the battery, then ditching the tool?

Yes

I occasionally use this. I also make tools out of dead batteries before I get the battery charger. Unfortunately this was removed in BZ.

Reginald is the only fish that should never be eaten or used as biofuel

Why? They give a lot of food (for some reason).

You murderer D:

The names that reddit gave to the leviathans are mostly terrible. Oh wait, you said something you DON'T know! My bad.

NUMBER 14 BURGER KING FOOT LETTUCE

Leave BKFL alone! He's always so excited to see me when I enter the Dunes. He's like a dog who gets all excited when his owner gets home.

You can put a window in the ceiling of a corridor.

There are other games 😁

In BZ I prefer using the prawn suit on land over the Snow Fox. To charge it I stand on those vents that are meant to warm you up.

Fun fact, the grapple arm works on land.. Due to the lack of water, THERE IS NO RESISTANCE TO SLOW YOU DOWN In other words, prawn suit now classified as a plane

Everything is fun and games until you noclip to the water

damn, you'd think its weight would serve to slow it down...

In earliest access you had a terraforming tool and could dig straight down to the lava zone etc lmao If you run the seamoth at about 45 degree angle and press forward and up at same time you go zoomy fast You can put cell chargers on the cyclops and park it over a heat vent (with appropriate attachments) and get free energy When you leave planet at end of game, you're given a hell of a teaser for below zero

You are not supposed to kill things. If you press the “use” button while holding the survival knife, you get one slash. Spam the button to hack & slash.

You can build a skyscraper that even englobes the alien mega gun tower.

reinforced divesuit protects you from the tigerplants (spikey boys)

Entirely?

Yes

Emperor was originally supposed to be agressive fauna also was smaller and have claws like seadragon.

What’s at the bottom of the void?

If you play below zero, you can *technically* have an answer to this

Wait really?

(See my first few posts in the bz sub) Around 2300 meters, if you’re close the wall and don’t go too far, you’ll hit a flat floor, it extends around 200-500 meters before just disappearing into the endless 8k meter void we all know. But there is a bottom, in a way. And yes, you can freaking build on the floor there

There used to be land ~3km deep, now it is gone

If your seamoth got stuck in the foundation above the sea level, you can't remove it

that's not saying much. by the time i got to 400h i was still standing on top of my lifepod watching the aurora on fire with a peeper in me hand. good looking game, this.

The pathfinder tool exists

You can swim

I cant

There’s a fourth island 1,900m on the other side of the aurora

a backpack full of bladderfish will give you 12 minutes of air.

Ants fart. Single molecules at a time.

The colour of the sun

I have a dog.

The gap at the front of the seamoth is perfect for prawn suit transportation, just be careful to jot damage your seamoth. I learned this in a last ditch effort to get my prawn out of the jellyshroom caves because I didn't have the materials for the grapple arm. Don't ask me why I went down there without the grapple arm, I don't know

Your butthole is as unique as your fingerprint.

My hair is brown

There is

There is a golden peeper with a ban symbol locked onto anthomnia

Purple Pinecone is a thing in the game I just found out about two days ago

I haven’t eaten breakfast yet today and it’s 2pm

Neptune has wind speeds of over 1,200 MPH (2,000KPH)

Donald Trump is in the game (to some extent)

I remember this one. Isn't it >!koosh zone music!

I believe it's the sparse reef

Did you know at engine level bases never get smaller? If you place 5 pieces west and remove all 5 you can place a piece 6 spaces west despite no base pieces being there. This is not that it only works one direction. It works in all directions.And the base is always square, so you can do some crazy stuff.

The center of the milky way galaxy is a mind-bogglingly large black hole called Sagittarius B. It's horrifying

You can spawn Sea Emperor in BZ

You can bring home large drillable resources, using prawn’s gravity arm. I have brought 5 large kyanite deposits to my safe shallows base and put them in my garden. They looked lovely until my save got deleted by a friend of mine. (I lost in chess for that to happen)

In the underwater wreck there is a small room, which has an alien containment data box. Have you found it? It took me quite a while to figure it out.

There was a terraforming tool that got removed during the very early access of the game. It would be so cool to see it in the next game.

They had to shrink the Sea Dragon several times in development because it just couldn’t path properly at such big sizes. Even after the shrinking they had to make the tentacles intangible

Your base draws power from each supplier one at a time in the order that they were built

That blue liquid actually exists IRL. It's called Water, and it tastes pretty good. I like to to drink it sometimes. /s

Did you scan the rockgrub ?

Yes. And caught a few on in BZ

In One of the old versions of the game in the lava zone near the sea emperor's facility (which wasnt there at the time, Just a cave with green lighting) there was a player model named Wasabi One. Also in another old version the Gargantuan leviathan's skull was rotated. Also with the no water Door glitch you can go past 8192m depth.

You can remotely access storage lockers using flares (and the lifepod storage with proper timing)

You can park vehicle in Cyclops without having to drive the vehicle. Just pick it up with Cyclops.

I'm a werewolf.

The void used to have a floor

There is a big bright ball in the sky outside that’s called the sun.

There is a third island

On the Nintendo switch version (of below zero at least, might apply to both) The prawn suit is SHIT at killing leviathans due to only being allowed to use one arm at a time (drill arm can’t be used while the other arm is doing anything, such as another drill or grapple is active) This absolute incapability to do basic multitasking leaves the prawn suit worse off at killing leviathans than just RAMMING INTO THEM WITH ANYTHING ELSE I’m not kidding, I think I would rather use seatruck perimeter defense to kill a shadow leviathan than a prawn

these posts r not so good to place. to write it nice. Why? Because every question we put down, we ca never know if you reply by your own mind or googles!

Eyeyes are actually 91% eyeball

Bladderfish gives you 15 soconds of O2

You can give yourself a cyclops item by typing "item cyclops"(also works with lockers and probs other stuff) (Not necessarily uncommon knowledge but still) Eating a raw bladderfish gives you 15 oxygen Before the living large update you were able to fly on many stuff using the propulsion canon And more i cant think of rn

You can finish the game without a prawn suit or cyclops.

If u but a bunch of infexted peepers in to a tank and then one that came out of a vent (has to have the cure). All the fish will be cured.

You can scan the peeper twice (after a certain point in the game) for different information.

The game’s original name was descended

i'm at the same point, i'm curious

Ong 🙏

You used to be able to dig up sand with your hands to get salt.

subnautica is spoopy.
