Vet Reacts to Using Nuclear Weapons on Eldritch Gods | BAROTRAUMA By RubixRaptor

[@pierrevulcan3683]

Barotrauma definitely fits its name as a trauma-sim. It's biggest challenge isn't the game, but staving off the panic as things go wrong. If you and your crew keep cool and understand what you're up against, it's pretty safe. But when things start going wrong, they can cascade pretty hard. For example, you can go from a challenging but fun gunfight against a group of small alien beasties, only for several of them to lodge themselves against the hull where your big exterior guns can't shoot them, and chew their way inside. That's an "oh crap" situation, the kind that ends with half the crew eaten, and the sub sinking. So the cardinal rules are staying cool, knowing the enemy, and being prepared. I think there's a saying that goes "a liter of sweat now is better than a liter of blood later"? A lot of videos on Barotrauma showcase what happens when you don't. It's fun, mind you, but a submarine and crew working like clockwork and breezing through horrifying monsters like they're on a 9-5 can also be very neat. For the zany fun videos, I'd say watch Rubix, Starcat, Tomato Gaming and Chrbrg. For the serious kind, my go to is Aggro Cucumber.

Thanks. That's really good to know! The heads up about gameplay is appreciated

[@patroclusilliad233]

Oh by the way. The song at the end is called God Shattering Star for anyone interested.

[@synysterR6]

It's a game where you need multiple players for. Well in typical barotrauma fashion we died before we even left port by blowing up the nuclear reactor cause our doctor cranked the output to 100%. It was hilarious.

[@ChicagoReacts]

Ha! Well done. but also, good to know.

[@thefiresworddragon927]

There's a steam workshop sub I have called the Aurora, and no matter what I did I couldn't even set the reactor on fire. Had four rods in it at the exact manual output needed to make it overheat; nothing, smoking, nothing more.

Barotrauma is epic. There's no better feeling than surviving a horrific incident after desperately patching all the holes in your sub and fending off giant sea creatures. Also, there's a Warhammer 40k Mod for it! Adds imperial and chaos factions, as well as guns, power armour, and giant vessels

[@michaell8000]

I mean does it really need that mod it already feels like a underwater death word.

[@thefiresworddragon927]

I think the 40k mod has a problem though, since if you run bots, it seems to refuse to ever use medical personnel, or let them spawn in campaign.

[@tf2lover105]

One of the ek mods add a railgun shell that can take up to 20 % of a doomworms health

[@tf2lover105]

Oh also i intentionally go into the abyss for the sole reason of hunting down the abyss creatures which normally win round 1 by knocking out the sonar which gives me a chance to repair then i hunt the things down let me repeat I HUNT DOWN THE CREATURES THAT MOST PLYERS TRY TO AVOID AS IN THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED.

[@the_mexican_spy5584]

You asked for some Barotrauma lore so here it is : In the (kinda) near future humanity has sent colonists on one of Jupiter's Moons, Europa; but after some time, all contact with Earth was lost and the Europan colonists were left to fend for themselves. Since Europa has no land, only an ocean covered in a thick layer of ice, submarines are the only mode of transportation but even they aren't safe from the dangerous Europan wildlife. In game, you play as members of a submarine crew trying to survive and make some profit by taking missions from different factions (transport some stuff, kill some beasts, explore some alien ruins, etc . . .). The deeper you go in Europa's ocean the more dangerous it becomes until in the end you reach the Eye and a big alien waiting for you there, I haven't actually finished a campaign yet so I couldn't tell you exactly what happens in the end but my guess is that the alien is the cause of the loss of contact with Earth and when you kill it that problem gets resolved, but as I said, I don't know for sure.

[@ChicagoReacts]

Awesome! Thanks for the lore

[@thefiresworddragon927]

Spoilers for the end of the game, though it is also theoretical talk. View more at your risk You don't actually restore contact, to my knowledge, but what you do stop is the Jovian radiation. Radiation is pelting Europa, forcing people into the ocean (and if you play with the jobian radiation turned on, slowly pushing further into the ocean, forcing outposts closer to the surface to be abandoned), and killing Jove stops this. It is uncertain if your sub lives to tell the tale or not, as it is implied you never contacted the last outpost that let you close to the Eye after this, but it is unclear as to your fate so you could be anywhere and in any status.

[@conboi124]

its not that you can't go to the surface, its that there is too much radiation on the surface to live safely

[@federationsoldier6833]

yeah, i do think some crew did go up there, hea dto dig though god knows how much ice, and even then they didnt come back, just kinda sat up there and either froze to death, died of rads in some way, or starved. OR maybe somethings up there, who knows. ( got this from the europa cronicles?) @@conboi124

[@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly]

Rubix has multiple barotrauma videos, and they are all pure gold!

[@endryus4269]

The lore of barotrauma: Humanity starts to colonize the solar system, when they arive to colonize Europa, they find alien life and alien ruins with extremely advanced materials. But eventually Jupiter throws a hissy fit and saturates its surrounding area in radiation that prevents contact with the outside world and frys any ship that try’s to leave. This causes chaos on Europa eventually leading to the founding of the Coalition, a bunch of traders who came together and formed the only real nation on Europa. But the coalition is assholes to anyone who isn’t part of them or at least allied, so the Jovian separatists formed to try to make a democracy. There are also two cults, The children of the Honkmother who gain powerful gifts if they believe in her and wear a clown outfit. And the church of the husk, a bunch of people who believe that they can combine effectively water zombies and humans to be able to actually survive on Europa, they have figured out how to effectively form a symbiosis with the husk parasite.

[@alanzimmer999]

Me and a buddy played a co-op run a while back in one of the Modded Dugongs. The only reason we completed one of our runs was luck, stubbornness, and what we had thought was an excessive amount of oxygen tanks. We had to more or less fully repair our sub three times during one mission. First time was from a Latcher, oddly not the most damaging of the three instances. The second was when my friend went to fire one of the shotgun rounds out of the railgun at a swarm of mudraptors at point-blank range, he forgot that he had previously loaded a nuke. The third time was less than a minute after we had gotten underway from repairing the previous damage, our reactor blew up. All in all the game is a blast but the difficulty slider is a myth, the only acceptable reaction to the horrors of the deep is overwhelming fire power, and the most important quality is an overwhelming stubbornness to claw your victory from the jaws of creatures coded to one hit you. If you have power, oxygen tanks, and welding fuel tanks you can repair your sub from even the worst damage.

[@alexandermurray935]

I have played barptrauma quite a bit recently and it is a blast with friends. The physics of the game ensure laughter. In terms of lore: they are on a moon of saturn called europa, having lost contact eith earth the moon has split into different factions, due to radiation eevryone stays under the ocean, the player is part of a crew doing odd jobs for money with the implied goal of getting deeper into the ocean, with even a setting to force players deeper with radiation increasing at the surface. Not every player has the same objective with some traitors getting payed by rival factions to hinder the ship.

[@funpolice4416]

Barotrauma is very fun with other people, i started playing it with a friend and we had a blast on our first playthroughs. We died to ourselves more than we did to aliens, either through drug overdose or acts of (sometimes) accidental sabotage (placing several explosive charges throughout the submarine and wiring them to a random button).

[@ForzenHorizonZero4down]

4:00 A barotrauma veteran here. Let i tell you some lore. (SPOILER ALERT) So, like many people already told you, events take place on Jupiter's moon Europa, humanity didn't colonize for nothing, the reason is strange anomaly "Eye of Europe" - a gravitational Earth like field under ice of this moon. Humans try to explore the anomaly, but it was difficult due to the very dangerous environment with equally dangerous living creatures, thats makes all mission difficult. But it is also important that people found there signs of another civilization, alien ruins. When the connection with the Earth was lost, people were more concerned with survival than exploration. That’s why there are quite a few mentions about the Eye of Europe. We players, can play as we want, but according to the idea of ​​the game, we are enthusiasts who want to find out for ourselves what this “Eye of Europe” is. (HEAVY SPOILER) At the end of the game, the Eye of Europe will be a giant alien structure that acts as a gate. If we enter it, we will be transported to the center of the red Eye of Jupiter, where we will float among the ruins of a mega structure.In the end we will find a "YOH-WEH" (Jove). Also we met there with past dwellers of Europe, who tell as about YOH-WEH. Its a god-like creature, who gifted the aliens a "song of YOH-WEH" that plunged their entire civilization into a kind of trance. They built a fortress around their “god” and protected him so that they could listen to his song in peace for eternity. But, oddly enough, they got tired of it, and the aliens literally rejoice when we say that we will finish this song. Thats it. (Oh, and Jove is a reason of deadly Jupiter radiation, so we also save the humanity in Europe)

[@KayjanSoban]

Playing Barotrauma as I watch this video (it has a singleplayer mode too). TLDR: It's a co-op submarine sim set in the under-ice oceans of Jupiter's moon, Europa. Human colonists have lost contact with earth and the radiation from Jupiter is penetrating deeper and deeper through the icy crust. You take on missions to explore, fight and transport to make money and delve deeper, ultimately aiming to discover the source of the gravitational anomalies present at the bottom of a giant impact crater. And as it's multiplayer, shenanigans ensue :P

[@flarefox3118]

I have played this and would highly recommend it. The short of the story is that Earth has gone dark after we were sent to colonise the ice moon of Europa for resources, to which the government has decided to repurpose the fleet ships into submarines to avoid the radioactive surface, creating an underwater colony of which many die under due to the hostile fauna amongst them and the pressure of the depts - pressure fatalities being the most common, so common as to earn itself the name Barotrauma. We are runners that do jobs for stations and factions on our way to the depths, fighting through its manage dangers to explore and expand the settlement.

One time I played with the medical overhaul mod and stole the captains liver, kidneys, legs, arms, lungs, and heart in that order because he didn’t pay me my 15 credits back.

[@Bondrewd__21]

Best part about Barotrauma? So imagine: you falling into Abyss, trying to repair your sub REALLY FAST and suddenly captain says: “we reaching crush depth” So in game submarines and diving equipment have max depth, if you reach crush depth walls just starting to broke, and the dipper you are, the faster they break, and eventually when you in your diving costume you get just crushed by weight of the water.

[@Bondrewd__21]

I actually stumbled upon the game, when there is was no station visit, it was only shown on map, and map had OG nests. So I was playing alone and somehow managed to operate the sub at crash depth for 5 minutes, I’m still don’t know how I did it.
