I don’t know what the shit I’m doing to be honest and I’ve only made it back to the pod once. Either been attacked or not had enough time to swim up. Presumably I’m meant to stay pretty close to the pod at the mo. I’m getting warnings that something is gonna detonate. No idea what to do about it.
Near the capsule where you are you should find minerals to build and improve things, including the radio, which will guide you to the remains of other capsules where you will find more improvements.
Yeah I’m regretting choosing survival mode to be honest. I might restart, bin that off and get to the ship quicker. There’s a big nasty monster swimming round there though.
Yes, I would recommend you starting again, and reading a bit about the game to save yourself having to restart it again.
It is a great game and gets better all the time as you level up and can explore further afield.
Get used to swimming to places you know you shouldn’t
Is it on pc?
Yes.
Cheers bro, I'll download it tonight.
It’s kinda annoying getting all the way there and then not being able to get away from something. Is that and dying all part of it?Get used to swimming to places you know you shouldn’t
I don’t mind paying £1 for Outer Worlds and Forza Horizon 4 on Pc tbh. I ran into the glitch where the Game Pass app doesn’t work at all but it just means downloading games and launching them from the Windows store which is fine albeit annoying.
When it works it's passable at best.
Let me know how you get on. I’m still learning and dying a lot.
Still haven't downloaded yet but will do tonight
I love it, the atmosphere of being lost on that planet is great, if you focus on the storyline, it is not too difficult but still challenging.
How are you getting on with it now?
Better. I've made most of the first tools, fins, and an oxygen tank. Habitat builder next. I've found the copper/silver I need but it's just out of my depth in a cave. I can get it but then die near the surface every time. Gonna have to look somewhere else. Or build the better tank.
yeah, it is one of those games where at the start you kind of think ‘huh? What’s all the fuss about?’ But then after a certain point ‘aaaaaah yeah, this is great.’
Would you recommend it? After playing Subnautica I was looking for something "similar" and I think that The forest and the long dark might be nice
Nah I've not but I did see it mentioned when I searched for something. Might check it out. I'm a big fan of base building though and I don't think that has it?
It's my most played Steam game, I've wasted 500 hours of my life on it over the past 3 years. Definitely would recommend it.
No base building in terms of actually building structures/walls etc. You look for existing shelters, just anywhere to keep out of the weather - like caves, houses, or even mines, fishing huts, cars and trucks, there's even a half sunken ship stuck in the ice on rocks. You choose to stock up those bases as you please, with clothing, food supplies, etc, but you can't modify their structure. Subnautica has it beat in that sense.
Your enthusiasm has convinced me, thank you, I think It will be the next game I´ll play as soon as I get tired of the game that currently has me hooked.
I hope you'll enjoy it, if you're on PC, you can pick up the Steam CD key for about €15 at G2A, or wait for it to go on Steam Sale. I think the normal asking price of €30 is expensive.
good luck!did you go to the ship, to the islands?, did you find the alien base? Do you have a submarine?So I pissed about for so long purely concentrating on building my base and expanding my empire, that I no longer know how to continue the story. Any tips?
I've been to the ship. I fecked up a bit because I couldn't be arsed going multiple times so I looked up the codes as I only had one, and went in the captain's room which is obviously not somewhere you're meant to go yet. Other than that I'm glad I looked up the others to be honest.
With base I mean a very large structure under one of the islands, but I really don't know if it helps you to complete the story.
I've had loads of radio messages directing me to crashed pods actually, but there doesn't seem to be much at the ones I've visited. I've not visited that base but I think I've been near it. Possibly need to be able to go deeper first. I can only get to 200m in the Seamoth + another 100m ish with the glide (quickly).
I've got the prawny deets. Need to build one
