Giants Deep Explained

[@veritygould8599]

when you said "water isn't the only thing that's dense on the planet" I thought you were about to roast Gabbro

[@Meneb]

lmao

[@fantasybabydino]

gah DAMN

[@definition.of.insanity]

This planet is strange. I don't have thalassaphobiaz but the combination of loud, stormy weather with nothing but pure deep water underneath me is terrifying. Its hard to explain and i haven't been able to find anything on it. It gets so bad sometimes that i will literally just sit inside my ship out of pure anxiety.

[@susaac9755]

Same here. I'd like to add that this is basically what i imagined that going through a gas giant's outer layer looked like and i legit got super anxious as the ship went through the atmosphere. I fking hate those things

[@JessicaGail]

I’m terrified of tornadoes and just seeing this gives me anxiety lol but I still want to start playing

[@Eclipsed_Archon]

I have Thalassophobia and this planet is the reason I've yet to play the game. Even swimming through water in Skyrim has made me actually throw up before :(

[@dreawmy2912]

and you can always loose your ship

[@nickster5207]

When I attempted to get the deep impact achievement I flew so far away to get a headstart, and flew so fast that when I flew into the planet, not only did I break through the current but I rammed straight into the core and died.

[@havoc5791]

I rammed an island and my cockpit flew out of orbit with my dead body

[@stonii420]

My fear of the deep AND tornados. Make this planet a not to happy place to visit...and the story the fishermen tells you. I played subnatica and was worried

[@HarlowSchmarlow]

It's like my worst nightmares merged to create an entire planet of it

[@YourPetSnake]

The core is so lovely though!

[@mateusriebeck]

unfortunatelly, i stopped playing this master piece, because i have some fear problems about the emptiness of the space and things big, when i first stepped in Giant's Deep, i started sweating and being nervous, when i first fell into the blackhole, i closed my eyes in fear it would be hilarious if wouldn't be tragic for me lol

[@PanozGTR2]

Riebeck, is that you?

[@fantasybabydino]

@@PanozGTR2 i bet they have 12 fingers

[@CaesarSalad978]

bruh. i went into this game blind and tried landing on giants deep and went under a cloud layer, the. water and i was like "BRUH NOPE" and left. lol

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Geez. If giants deep got you idk how you made it through the rest.

[@CaesarSalad978]

@@TheLoreExplorer it was just the fact there was a ton of water and i didn't know where to land. lol. i didn't look around enough. was legit thinking the water would destroy my ship.

[@Yes-lm1lc]

​@@CaesarSalad978same dude, our gaming instinct leads us to think technological equipment doesnt resist water... Since here it resists gravitational distorsion water wouldnt do sht🤣

[@gideonmaxmerling204]

The electricity around the core could be explained as power leaking from the probe tracker

[@caps_lock]

i dont think so, since feldspar has explained being down there and having to go into the jellyfish for it, implying that the electricity was there before the probe tracker crashed down into giant's deep (which happens directly at the start of the run afaik)

[@spacebassist]

​@@caps_lock yeah you're right, the probe module falls down because the cannon finally fires after the sun goes naturally supernova and that information is sent back for it to start firing probes would that mean the jellyfish are somehow responsible, like an alien ecosystem thing we dont understand?

[@jackcook9005]

So the lightning part may not be exactly accurate but i think your idea of metallic water is a good one. Heavy water is a thing its most likely thay the inner core is compromised of sokething other than ordinary water, most likely something more conductive. In addition electricity takes the path of least resistance, and the longer the arc the more power that is required the reason its confined to where it is is becuase thats the farthest it can get with the amount of power that it has. Moreover i think wjat may bery well be happening is that the outer core, the part that is below the current and above the electricity, is also something other than ordinary water, lets call it heavy water becuase of how slow we go in it, i think that the friction of heavy water and metallic water creates a sort of static buildup/current which exists on the surface of the metallic water. This would wxplain why only the surface of it is electrified

[@ererbe]

I wonder what exactly the core is, this rock or stone thingy coral like stuff.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

yeah. i think its meant to be coral!

[@jackcook9005]

0:55 its not exactly solely water, it has islands and a coral core so we are looking at +96% or more but not 100%

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Im not sure the islands are naturally there. And corals are a plant/animal of sorts if i remember right. im not sure theyd add much mass but i could be wrong. And I mention the "never ending storm" on the planet i think.

[@jackcook9005]

You make a good point there. Its largely a semantics issue i guess

[@oofalbert]

@@TheLoreExplorer I'm pretty sure coral is the skeleton of the animal but not 100% sure

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Its really like a million tiny animals connected somehow. They are still alive. it may be an exoskeleton or something. really they are pretty interesting.

[@jackalbeam2532]

"Wait, if we're underwater, how can there be a..."

[@creativenametxt2960]

3:40 I don't exactly understand... if the current pushes up, it should push down somewhere (in that one tornado) really hard (~law of conservation of mass). It doesn't happen. And I don't exactly understand what stops the pressure differential from stabilizing? The differential should be constant in normal environments.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

Tbh i dont exactly understand it either. but im pretty sure its what is at play here. I could be wrong!

[@jackcook9005]

There is also constant although typically mild rainfall onvthe planet as well

[@snakebae6259]

there is one tornado on the planet that turns the other way and pushes into the water rather than up into the sky.

[@uvbe]

I just wanna know how was I supposed to know that I could go under the jellyfish and not get electrocuted. I couldn't find that info in game (at least that I remember) and I had to risk spoilers by looking it up. I mean, I did think about it. But the drones were getting electrocuted so I discarded the hypothesis.

[@TheLoreExplorer]

There is a dead jellyfsh feldspar points you to. If you go sudy it he left a log explaining how they may insulate us from other electricity!

[@fbhdqjwjrjgj]

@@TheLoreExplorer yeah but I didn't find feldspar before I found the core, I wanted to get in so I looked it up.

[@NK-iu5tf]

Well you were supposed to get to Feldspar first. On Giant's deep there is an island with a frozen jellyfish. It says Feldspar left for Dark Bramble. This was the hint. Feldspar, Jellyfish, Dark Bramble. It also was a tile on your rumor panel which was connected to the Giant's Deep Core. It was clear you needed to find Feldspar prior to entering the core.

[@MnemonicHeadTrip]

Really nice video :)

[@astrosimon4216]

Giants deep = Jool from KSP ?

[@skyebluesilly]

Astrosimon 42 green gas planet, checks out

[@sinkbug]

I swear giants deep core is another giant dark bramble seed growing im telling you

[@hubbletrubble7875]

first lol
