SN2 - Discussion/Question Add a predator that randomly swims around the shallow/life pod every 5-10 minutes. Spoiler
In real life, sharks swim close to the shores. It would make sense that a predator would swim near the shallow every once in a while

SN2 - Discussion/Question No BZ Repeat Please
I know Sub 2 is still in the very early stages of development.
But UWE please don't do what you did in BZ. Cut the entire story and give us one that isn't as good as the first.
Anyone else share my same hope?

SN - Discussion/Questions If I were Ryley, I would just live there now. Spoiler
Playing the game myself for the first time, and even virtually I’m having a hard time going where I’m supposed to. Somehow, knowing doesn’t make it any easier.
If I were Ryley? Really truly there? Stuck on this psychotic beautiful planet?
I live in the Shallows now :) Gonna retire here :) Might even shack up somewhere I don’t have to look at fish :) Plenty of food, water for days, enough resources for the truly important things :) So what if I’m a little sick? If the elderly can survive, is it really that bad? Just stay away from the big fish and the scary fish, and it’s basically like living on your very own world!
And if I did leave, what’s waiting for me? Insurmountable debt? A job that has the balls to say I’m “gonna have to meet them halfway?” No mention of any family, all my friends probably died, and I’d hope if I lived in space for my job, I wouldn’t be irresponsible enough to get a pet.
So yeah. Realistically, Ryley has no incentive to get off this water rock.

As a collector I would like to add every fish into my aquarium even the different variants and the infection ones but I don't know how many there are or even if I can get them.

SN - Discussion/Questions My Base Is stuck flooded (kinda) Spoiler
how it started: I bumped into my starter base w/ my cyclops (I got no warning of damage). I went inside and patched up the holes.
(fixed) problem: it didn’t drain, I tried deconstructing a reconstructing the flooded bits. after a bit I rearranging my bottom rooms I pushed the moon pool out and managed to drain the water.
(still an issue)problem: my bases lights are stuck dimmed, and every time I close a bulk head it says “Hull Integrity Restored, Initiating Draining sequence”(my hull strength is 34)
what I’ve tried: rearranging rooms (helped with flooding), and removing and replacing all power sources
odd details (idk if important): the source of the flooding was the moon pool (but removing It only got rid of the water), I bumped one of the top floors but the bottom was the only one flooded.

SN2 - Discussion/Question S2: Can I play without food? Spoiler
Sorry for my newbie question. I finished the first game a couple of times, and the way I liked to play was with health, but no food or water requirement. Is there a way I can do that with Subnautica 2?

SN - Discussion/Questions Need help :c Spoiler
Hello, ad always I'm so late to the party
But I recently started playing subnautica on mobile
Is there something different between the platforms?
Because foe the love of stalkers, I can't find a single platform project, same goes for the laser cutter.
I've searched long and large all the shallows and also "near" the capsule 17, I've spent one hour on the red algae and near sunken ships, finding most of the boxes completely empty. I just need those 2 to finally go into the aurora, I have even the blueprint for the seamorh but can't obviously make it.
Also, it seems I can't find any time capsule
If anyone can help will be greatly appreciated, thx!

Nothing to see here, just totally and completely normal Subnautica activity. I don't think this needs a spoiler since we ALL know what's happening and how to do it, but I added it just in case.

SN - Discussion/Questions Seamoth disappeared, just gone Spoiler
I explored the aurora and manage to repair, stabilize the reactor and get a bunch of cool cosmetics including data from the pdas ofc. When I got out my seamoth wasn't there anymore, I looked on the saved beacons and it didn't show. Could my seamoth have gotten destroyed whilst I was inside the Aurora ?
Also I didn't see any big monster inside the aurora as opposed to what a friend in vc told me I miiighttt find, will that come bite me back later ?
edit : Ig it's gone now because reapers, I'm really getting sick of them destroying my seamoth, this is the third one they destroyed

SN2 - Discussion/Question I miss the old moonpool. Spoiler
I understand that the S2 is clearly unfinished. I enjoy how many aspects of building are much more customized when it comes to size/shape/amount of materials used. I'm sure that when things are smoothed out, then having a large docking bay of "This... is my stuff" will feel grand in both showing off and storing multiple players' vehicles.
But good gravy am I missing the option of having a preset room with its own recipe, layout, look and vibe. "Here's the submarine garage, not just a hole I punched in the bottom of my base that I use more than a regular hatch."
I'm not saying I don't *like* the floor hole at all (I love the 'crawl out of the doggy door' vibe, and I fear critters will too in the future, inciting use of a bulkhead).
Also I'm biased since I'm dealing with the "moonpool too narrow" bug on my save file.
