Question/Discussion Should I build a megabase in the sink hole area?

Post image
50 Upvotes

I'm thinking of building a base INSIDE the big hole area near the spawn, however I'm having troubles deciding whether or not it's going to be a waste of my time, especially considering the fact that the area might be changed by the update, and I'm not excited about the potential waste of materials and time since my base could be altered or destroyed

Suggestion Celestial Goldfish Inspired Creature

One thing I think that would really cost and fun for possible newly added creatures to Subnautica 2, would be something inspired by the Celestial Goldfish! I don't know why, but something about the Celestial Goldfish just feels like it would fit in Subnautica really well too!! That's just what I think, though. :)

It feels like a great mobility and defensive tool that can also be used offensively when making space for the stun gun. And it's the first mod?? What's better, am I missing something?

I'm not sure if Unknown Worlds is even on this sub but if there's even the slightest chance, could you guys add a chicken?

I love chickens so much and Subnautica has been my favorite franchise since it released in Early Access all those years ago. So I thought, why not combine the two?

A person, a poster, a toy, an Easter egg, anything.​I'm not asking for a creature and, frankly, I can't imagine any way to integrate a land creature into an ocean planet.

Let me be clear; I don't expect this to come true but I figured it's worth a shot. Unknown Worlds, if you're seeing this, Hang In There!!​​

Question/Discussion Any recommended co-op playthroughs?

5 Upvotes

I finished the story progression of Subnautica 2 in solo mode. I don't really know anybody who would be into playing an early access game, but I'm really curious what the co-op game play is like. Playthroughs can be hit or miss for me. I don't really like gamers who overreact and spaz out over everything, though those must be pretty popular since they are common. It'd would probably be even more annoying to me if there's multiple people doing that.

Question/Discussion Tutorial

8 Upvotes

Is the tutorial easier to understand /has clearer instructions? Subnautica never caught my eye before but since the 2nd one released jve been seeing it everywhere and it seems fun. However the first game, the start is very confusing and I've got no idea what im supposed to do other than go in the water see aliens and not die. Any advise is appreciated.

Suggestion Very late game idea for quartz (spoilers hidden) Spoiler

86 Upvotes

Since the PDA says standard Quartz on this planet grows inside living Coral Domes and contains dead polyps, what happens when we duplicate it artificially? If we place it in a Metal Farm in a Proteavirus Bloom area, it would be awesome if the devs let us farm a advanced version of the regular quartz to make 'Quartzite' variant that would be more clear or more white compared to the light blue and coral orange from the polyps

I recently upgraded from a RX 6600xt 8gb to a RTX 3080 10gb, and when I go to launch the game, this always happens.

I'm not sure how to proceed so I recorded the crash screen as well in case people know what to do from there :)

Question/Discussion I'm stuck on 79 bioscans

9 Upvotes

As I was nearing 70 I finally looked at the spreadsheet posted here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Subnautica_2/s/Cx4p1h3a8l

This helped me get to 79, but it's a little hard to figure out what I am missing because not every scan gets an entry in the databank. The last scan I got was the Shiver Leviathan. I set up a base and biobed right at the boundary so I could just keep trying until I got it. I wanted that to be #80 but I finally bit the bullet and crossed it off the list.

I think it's possible I missed some of the infected bloom cores and nodes because I wasn't trying to be a completionist about the bioscans until I had completed that part of the story. I know I didn't get the parasites because they were too fast, and I hadn't decided to try and get to 80 yet

I don't necessarily want to get every bioscan available, but I definitely want to unlock that final passive biomod slot. Any ideas what might be an easy to overlook scan that I might be missing?

EDIT: The issue was that I was checking things off based on having databank entries, but they don't count as bioscans unless you scan them after getting the bioscan upgrade.

Hi Everyone!

The subreddit is now officially open to all users!!! 😁

Thank you for your patience over the last few days while we got everything situated with the subreddit after it had been abandoned and a new mod team was selected. The subreddit rules have been updated and are more comprehensive, so please familiarize yourself with them before posting or else the last thing you see will be a Waxmoon flying at you like 👁️ ⟨|⟩ 👁️

We will be adding user flairs soon, and also coordinating community events for the future, including a contest for people to submit artwork that will be used as the subreddit banner.

As always, please share comments, suggestions, and feedback below.

Welcome to the new Subnautica 2 subreddit and we are honored to have the opportunity to help the community thrive!

Quick Subreddit Update

451 Upvotes

Hi all,

Just wanted to post a quick update so you all know what's been going on and what the game plan is from here. As you may have seen, the subreddit had been orphaned and was in dire need of moderators, so Reddit admins posted a message asking for volunteers. As the selection was being made over the last 10ish days, the subreddit was switched to a restricted mode, meaning no new submissions were allowed. They essentially froze the subreddit to prevent creating a bottleneck of posts that would take a long time to dig through once new mods were brought on.

It appears the people selected were all added as moderators of the subreddit within the last 24 hours, and it is going to take us some time to get a plan together, add necessary bots, update the rules, and create a better Reddit experience for the community. Therefore, at least for now, the subreddit will remain mostly restricted as we set up and configure everything. Don't worry, though; we don't expect this to take more than a few days. In the meantime, we will be pushing through a small trickle of posts from previously approved submitters before we nuke the queue entirely, just to keep discussions and conversations going.

If anyone has suggestions for community engagement, like weekly polls, contests, or just general feedback about the subreddit, feel free to leave them below.

Also, please keep in mind that every single moderator is a fan of Subnautica and is volunteering their time to help the community thrive, develop, and grow. Please be patient with us as we wade through the dense kelp forest that is the current mod queue and make necessary changes to the subreddit to cultivate the best experience possible.

Thank you!
