[@GregorytheImpaler]

I love that they were respectful of it as a fantasy alien world. So many other “experts” totally ignore the fiction’s lore just to harp on things. So it was so nice seeing them just chilling with the Subnautica world and reacting to it for what it is. Though I was surprised by the statement about things not living beside extreme heat, when deep sea exploration vessels and rovers have documented crabs, and even multiple proper fish species living directly upon volcanic vents with temperatures that would destroy any other living organisms not adapted to such environments.

[@firehedgehog1446]

Oh yeah, I agree, the one I think of is the Ex-Bank Robber, I cannot watch any videos with him in it because he can't understand that because it's a video game, you have to take things with a grain of salt

My guess is that they were prompted for this. It seems like a lot to ask even of an expert to figure out that the jellyshrooms benefit from the organic matter of unconsumed herbivores falling to the ocean floor and becoming plant nutrients.

[@lepurpleboi3266]

Funny thing about using sonar to throw off the giant eel, that thing, which is called a Reaper Leviathan or just a reaper, is near blind and actually hunts with echolocation, so the sonar would just bring it to you

[@johnmccarron7066]

I would argue that it would depend on the size of the sound and the frequency. Think of it like shining a really bright flashlight into somebody's eyes; even though you're seeing a visual cue with your primary sensory organs, it's a very disorienting and blinding cue.

[@leofhr2966]

It's both correct, while the sonar can attract the Reaper in lore based on the fact that that it uses echolocation, it can also be disoriented or hurt from it because it is a primary sensory organ being used to navigate, and it can be abused same as the person mentioning how a flashlight can be used against us, we use it to see in the dark, but the moment that light shines into our eyes directly we end up just worse off because we still can't see anything but blinding light, thus removing our ability to orientate again. So if you were to use a frequency with the adequate volume that effects the Reaper negatively, you can basically shut it down and make it impossible to use it's echolocation

[@TheImmortalBloodwolf]

5:52 Species Designation: Reaper The reaper is a Leviathan class predator... Extremely territorial, And presumably gets enough nutrition just eating fish that swim into its territory because they're being stupid.... there roar is actually echo location... If you can hear it, it can see you!!! Edit: Would rather eat something it recognizes... Meaning that it will take a living fish from your hand Instead of attacking you Then if you fill up it's belly It will become Docile temporarily

[@simonnachreiner8380]

Interesting thing to note about subaquatic lava. The temperature of the water causes what's known as the leidenfrost effect to create a layer of steam that's held against the lava keeping the thermal transfer to a minimum. I'd ask more questions on how the cave is oxygenated since hotwater doesn't hold O2 as well and the cavern is DEEP.

[@kinagrill]

One note about Subnautica, is that it all happens in what is basically a massive, dormant vulcano crater, hence the abundance of life. If you leave it for open waters... well, HUGE leviathans roam out there that makes the Regular ones you can run into within the crater seem SMALL by comparison. Also it is QUITE realistic for a marine animal to live near extreme temperatures. there's a shrimp we know of here on earth that lives near a hot-geyser or some such area where we are way beyond boiling temperature, and it lives there quite happily.
