It can take upwards of five years to recover from the bends and requires living inside a pressure chamber.

[@HESHRocketWarhead]

@@EphiTV I GOT Crash Zone, the first time I used that mod. Right on the arse-end of the Aurora, too! So that meant that the only local fauna was a Reaper Leviathan. I was under huge time pressure to scavenge resources to build a safe base away from the Aurora, as well as a Radiation Suit so that I could reaccess the Life Pod. It was also because of this that I learned Reaper Leviathans are less likely to detect you outside of a vehicle, since they use echolocation to find you, and Seamoths make a fair bit of noise. So using all of my smarts I had learned, I was scrounging for as much resources as I could in one go, and only picking up materials I definitely knew were necessary. The only way I could make the stuff I needed was to access the fabricator inside the lifepod, so I needed to make sure I took only what I needed and not what I wanted. Ultimately, I barely managed to scrape achieving sanctuary away from the Aurora before it exploded. I was literally building the seabase at a safe distance in a Kelp Forest, when the Aurora exploded. And I had also acquired enough raw and composite materials to build a fabricator inside, so that I had a chance. So once that initial rush was over, THEN I could start looking for Seaglide, MVB, and Seamoth fragments more thoroughly. Talk about a stressful start...

[@Emoconnors]

I've never liked "hardmode" mods for any game that did things like increase crafting costs, EXP requirements, the price of items, etc., because it feels like they're equating "takes a long time" with "difficult to do". A no-hit run of Dark Souls is difficult to do, beating a JRPG where you have to grind for hours to stand a chance in each new area just wastes your time.

I really like the fact that in this mod you are capable of toggling different settings and tweaking the difficulty levels rather than having to play with all of them on and on max difficulty. I might experiment with the increased aggression on fauna- setting because I felt in the vanilla game the fauna was barely ever a threat or that aggressive towards you outside of Leviathan- creatures. I'd love a more aggressive fauna for realism but probably without some of the other difficulty modifiers for start at least :D

[@santialterman3066]

Congrats on finishing a run! I can sympathize with how evil and relentless those biters are. If you want to make it even worse, try the "Worse than Death Run" settings (I had a reaper clip into the Jellyshroom Caves trying to get early magnetite for some fun misfortune) and the De-Extinction mod for the Gulper Leviathan (although that mod caused some serious lag after a while). Did you try a seamoth with Death Run? I personally felt it wasn't worth the trouble with the power loss from entering and exiting. Plus with needing kyanite to get the prawn suit upgraded to even survive the ILZ it just seems like not bothering with vehicles is overall the better choice for Death Run.

[@EphiTV]

Yeah I built a seamoth at one point but by that time I was already near the end of the game. Just used it to move between surface bases a bit. Never managed to find enough fragments to make the prawn. The requirements for it are pretty crazy. It definitely seems like they wanted you to be vehicle-less for most of it.

If you want to play this mod now, you can still do so without having to roll-back to legacy mode. Only problem is that without rolling back, you’ll realize that the custom batteries don’t work, so only the standard (albeit renamed) lithium batteries will work. You pretty much have to rush the mountain island since that was the safest way to acquire large amounts of lithium and diamonds early. Surface air being toxic actually combos really well with creature aggression since you can rarely sit still by pipes while your air refills lest you get bit by various fauna. That is, at least, until you realize that you can angle the pipes above water and just stand on top of the tip of the pipe to receive air. Then you start to question how surface air being toxic even adds to the challenge. The reaper aggro radius is no-joke in this mod. They’ll aggro from across BIOMES. For reference, the entrance to the Jellyshroom Caves closest to the Degasi base is directly south of the Aurora’s thrusters. (This is also a lifepod spawn location) The reaper at the base of the thrusters can and will randomly aggro onto you when you’re on the OTHER side of that Grassy Plateau biome. It’ll damn near chase you into the Safe Shallows! I also learned some neat tech from this mod as well. Namely, if you want to scan a fragment without being interrupted, fire a fully-charged Stasis Rifle round at it. The bubble will persist long enough for you to scan the fragment, and nothing can enter the bubble to attack you. Also, the bleeders in the Aurora are affected by grav traps, so dropping one in the center of the reactor will leave you with only 3-5 bleeders to contend with. You also can’t get nickel or crystalline sulfur without going under 500 meters, (the deepest you can go before needing to get the next dive suit, which you ALSO have to go under 500 meters for) and you require them for the Prawn Suit, Cyclops, and upgraded Seamoth depth modules. So you have to spam medkits as you frantically scramble into the Lost River, gather materials, and scramble out. Hopefully not getting one-shotted by a Warper on the way out.

I really want a co-op mod for SubNautica, I know there's one out already but it has more bugs that you can imagine, for example - 1) Aurora exploded TRICE 2) Crabsnakes were GIGANTIC 3) Sometimes our Seamoths and parts of base were glitching so the other player couldn't interact or even see them 4) Many more glitches that were making the game kinda bad

[@howdyspitoonsky314]

Don't forget the mod is still in alpha. I really wanna see how the full release will look like, with all the animations and stuff. Also me and my friend are trying to complete the game together, we have laughs every day because of the bugs, but the ones like seamoths randomly teleporting 400m back and forth can be frustrating.

[@ryaquaza1571]

The fact this mod gives you a random spawn location AND the lifepod sinks to a certain depth before it’s prepared is easily one of the terrifying things about this mod. Just imagine if you spawned at the edge of the map and just rolled into the void, falling endlessly as ghost leviathans and extreme depths prevent your escape, permanently stuck in a state of death and respawning as your lifepod continues to drag you forever further from the surface. The device that saved you from the crash, has now become your tomb,..

[@EphiTV]

It would be pretty terrible in some spots, but it's not completely random. There's a big list of spawn locations the creator picked from, and all the spots are relatively safe.

[@ryaquaza1571]

oh,.. ok nevermind then Love the video btw

[@Dazdigo]

The bends makes the game realistic because it is the primary thing that all divers need to be concerned about. They should have made the player wait a day before launching because you can't fly on an airplane until you give your body enough time to completely decompress.

[@generalarcticfox6406]

This is a actualy very fascinating mod for subnutica it kinda as a bit of a pinch of more realism and fear of danger like the radiation drowning "wich can be a very big fear for some certain people" and the cretures attacking and comming for you Nothing truly new new or added but if you can combine other mods like that more monsters with the gulper and stuff you can make a far bigger vast and scary subnutica truly amazing:>

[@EphiTV]

Yeah, it's a pretty nice mod that mostly just changes the rules a bit. Little disappointing that almost all the changes are early-game, but I still had fun with it.

[@ninjapumpkin0127]

The place you built your base by the jellyshroom cave entrance is my favorite base spot in the game

[@thomaskositzki9424]

Funny, I like the idea of an Nitrogen danger in the diving mechanic a lot because I always thought this part was extremely oversimplyfied compared to real life.

[@TheElevenFirst]

As a scuba diver I find that the rising to quickly addition is actually really close to reality

[@8eewee]

I may actually give this a try, but maybe on an easier setting. I'm playinb BZ right now but this seems really interesting to try out. Usually I slap down 2 solar panels, maybe a bioreactor and I'm set which feels wrong. EDIT: I started a deathrun yesterday on hard (I'm not THAT confident in my own abilites) Things went mostly fine until the aurora blew up. It went downhill REAL fast after that. I barely managed to make a radiation suit and that's how far I got so far. Everything is scary again and I love it. Frigging stalkers got me terrified.

[@econ347]

Idk why but your monotone narration makes this whole video really funny xD

[@LethalOwl]

I’m amazed to discover such an experienced Subnautica player that seems unaware of the fact there’s 2 ion cubes in the area of the Sea Emperor’s containment. 1 in the back to open the spare portal to get back up above the pool (for those who don’t have the means to "jump" out of the water), and 1 in the caves underneath the containment.

[@LifeSucksAndWeAllKnowThat]

oh i didnt know that

[@LethalOwl]

@@LifeSucksAndWeAllKnowThat I actually learned it kinda recently myself. I've only finished the game 3-ish times. Learned about these 2 extra ion cubes from someone who did a blind playthrough called "lil indigestion" here on youtube. He made like 70+ episodes worth of subnautica content, half an hour each xD

I did a play through of this mod with de extinction for the extra leviathans. All I have to say about that run is - F U C K

[@MichaelJones-wj4mo]

Beating deathrun on hardcore was simultaneously one of the most agonizingly frustrating but ultimately satisfying things I’ve ever experienced playing games. It took me over 20 attempts. By attempt ~10 I was intentionally using a stasis rifle to freeze any leviathans and I’d then slowly chunk them down with the thermo blade. One of my final attempts before winning I glitched through the floor of the cyclops and then had land physics as I fell to the bottom of the lost river and died. I didn’t rely on the cyclops for the last runs.

[@EphiTV]

I feel like a lot of hardcore runs end to bugs. Hardcore deathrun sounds pretty painful.

[@MichaelJones-wj4mo]

@@EphiTV The time I actually made it I had almost died to a sea dragon clipping into the lost river. For the rest of the game he would just clip in and out of the zone until I was finally able to bring him down. Definitely not the most fair game to do deathless on but I enjoyed the rollercoaster anyways!

[@matthewroddick9737]

As a fresh Subnautica player who has only just recently reached the gargantuan skeleton for the first time, I am thoroughly impressed, and kind of ashamed of myself that I don't use bases and beacons as much as I really should. I have a total of two bases set up; my main base, and a tiny spawn anchor I used when exploring the Aurora. For some reason, my brain told me bases can't be too deep in the water, and I believed it without actually testing that. Some people, like you, are built different, meanwhile I'm built just plain wrong.

[@EphiTV]

Everyone plays differently, I like bases and beacons a lot but some people don't use em at all. I definitely think having bases in the deeper areas can save a lot of hassle.

[@87TIG]

So air on the surface is toxic... unless you get an air pump and send it through pipes?

[@Rale881]

It could be that the surface air has too much oxygen, thus being toxic to humans. We require a really specific blend of atmospheric gasses to breathe properly.

[@theangeloflie]

Looks like you were blessed by the algorithm

[@LemuriaGames]

Fuck me. I've played through this game a few times and never discovered the second upgrade to the diving suit. Man, this game still has secrets.

[@SchPal]

The oxygen pipe: *Exists* My parents: That's the route i took to school every day!!

[@canobenitez]

Barothrauma only happens when you breath oxygen that didn't come from the atmosphere (1.0 atm). If you hold your breath without any gear, nothing will happen and you can go as deep as you can (the pressure from the ocean will crush your body eventually, but there is no need to make stops in order to make it to the surface)

[@neonblade8591]

Of course, you can't really take advantage of that because nobody holds their breath that long.
