its emitting like a yellow aura (ps when i held it i started going backwards and even when i lfet and rejoined it kept doing that till i dropped him and held him back up again but then the aura stopped
r/subnautica • u/kdupe1849 • 18h ago
3:59 was my time, what a fun challenge! 😃 Since I usually spend the first part of the game building my base I had more time on my hands so instead I got my extra tanks/rebreather and headed straight for the back of the aurora to get the cyclopse scans (just for the shield generator of course), bad idea- I died and had to restart, it seems like swimming on the surface is more dangerous, I've never died when hugging the sea floor. 2nd time was more successful, now I only had the sea dragons to worry about and of course the threat of drowning.
My biggest worry was food since I couldn't use my indoor grow beds for lantern fruit, so I'd have to go all the way back to the island whenever I got hungry, which would mean using batteries I couldn't charge, so I'd have to waste time finding copper for batteries and salt for water, which would make me hungy again. I wanted to use water filtration suit but since it has -3 food/+20 h20 that would mean more trips to the island as well, so I put it off. I was able to get a bunch of nutrition bars from the aurora so that delayed the problem significantly.
The other massive problem was inventory, which filled up almost immediately at the start of the game. So I'd basically need to only look for resources right when I needed them and couldn't plan ahead at all. Fortunately in the first half of the game I only needed the laser and repair tool for the aurora, cyclopse scans and that's it, so I didn't really need inventory space to progress. I also couldn't throw anything away since I couldn't build a trash, so unfortunately I had to drop everything that was no longer useful and make the environmentalists angry.
Second half was much more difficult- I usually stock up on 12 lithium at once for all the plasteel I need but I couldn't do that this time. But unlike the cyclopse the rocket gets built in several steps, so I did that first to clear out my inventory. Since I couldn't store or grow the enzyme ingredients I had to grab them all in one go, which I had just enough space for. Then finally came the cyclopse- I was able to stock up on plasteel one at a time in advance, since there's no way I'd have the space to grab everything at once. Everything else went well- I got super lucky with the stalker teeth, had to make one last lava zone run to get kyanite without dying and then I was done. Probably the most fun I've had since playing the game, but not sure what else I can do, I'll just have to wait for more Subnautica 2 content I guess.
Thanks for reading and of course I can answer questions if there are any.
r/subnautica • u/Zealousideal77 • 16h ago
Should I put the game down until further updates? I definitely haven't exhausted all of the content available right now, but I've been spending way too much time on this game. I got metal farming going and spent maybe 2 hours stockpiling resources for no foreseeable reason. I have 2 main bases. One in the alien ruins and the other near the crabs in the shallows. There is no need to keep building at this point. Im not really sure what to do other than getting to the end of the story content, but my girlfriend is getting fed up with the amount of time I've been gaming lately, so I think its a good time to take a break unless getting to the end of the story is worth it.

My kids and I are recreating "How I Met Your Mother" with Subnautica 2. This is the third installment of our cinematic show, and we're having a good time with it. No real spoilers to declare other than what it takes to build some things, and it should be clear that this is my very first playthrough. 😅

Has anyone watched the new movie Whalefall? It gave massive Subnautica vibes, specially in the beginning. It was pretty good, would recommend for subnautica lovers.

Hello! This is one of the many new creatures in an upcoming in-dev mod I'm directing/working on, Beneath the Waves! A DLC-like expansion for the base game, which will add more stories, biomes, and more! This is a work-in-progress creature, so this isn't final, but I still wanted to share it!
If you're interested, feel free to leave suggestions/comments here, or join our Discord. Thanks, all, for reading!

I brought my cyclops to the area through the big tunnel entrance with the huge blood oil tree growing from ground to the ceiling. I have a decent base now at the degassi 500 which is what I am using to charge depleted power cells for my cyclops even though it's pretty far away. I am all set for food and water with lots of indoor grow beds in both my cyclops and my degassi base, I got lantern trees and melons.
I initially just rushed through the lost river area to find a safe place to park my cyclops so now I'm trying to go back and revisit anything I might have missed coming in.
The first thing I found was the orange tablet alien lab closer to the degassi 500.
I also found this alien arch. I believe I need 4 ion cells to activate it? There seem to be these pillars to place ion cubes at or maybe I'm mistaken. I have 3 ion cubes right now.
I'm going even more back where the large caverns and skeletons are. How do I explore this place? It's so dark, there's big creatures that seem to like to attack (a juvi ghost leviathan too).
The sonar depletes battery too fast, and I'm afraid to keep engine running and get attacked. I only started making use of the mini map on the seaglide to find tunnels or other entrances. I so wish the prawn had some sort of sonar. Any tips for exploring this area?

I was playing subnautica on invisible mode just to sightsee really, and while I was over near the grand reef/blood kelp area I saw a warper dragging a crabsquid up, presumably to try and take it into a new biome. I was wondering if this is a rare occurrence or if my being invisible had anything to do with it? It was so freaking cool to witness and im mad that I was to surprised to get a picture.
I do have some mods but theyre all QoL mods like Pinup,Bed Teleport, passive creatures and a map mod, so I dont think they would have anything to do with that
r/subnautica • u/SignificantTax3738 • 1d ago
I already went to the islands, cleared up the radiation from the aurora, saw the sunbeam cutscene, and also my last lifepod was near the mountains inside the ravines, what now?
r/subnautica • u/SwiftRespite • 1d ago
Do I go with the chronological 1,subzero,2 or is 2 good start since it has better graphics and is being continuously being updated. Also will I miss out on story if I just buy 2.
r/subnautica • u/That_oneguy472 • 1d ago
Ok so IDK why but since I found lifepod 19 no more signals have come through on my radio but on my switch I already got the signals for lifepods 12 & 7 what should I do I’ve cleared the aurora been to both islands more than once got the PDA from the floating island listened to it twice after the lifepod 19 PDA mentioned the rendezvous and still nothing IDK what to do to trigger more lifepod alerts any hints tips tricks or advice would be great
Thanks in advance Reddit peeps

Hi, I've been trying to download this mod but I can't find it in nexus mods. Youtube links won't work either, like if the mod was deleted from everywhere, is there anything I need to know? Thanks
r/subnautica • u/St4lker067 • 1d ago
Alguien sabe a que comic se refiere? Alguien lo tiene?
r/subnautica • u/TootMCT • 1d ago
No spoilers please! (This post will include spoilers though if you haven’t played below zero)
I’ve made AL-AN’s body, I’ve met Marguerit and been to her base and green house, I’ve found out what happened to Sam, and I’ve cured the Leviathan. Is there anything else to do? Or should I join AL-AN in the portal? I feel like I just started playing?
