Let's Go Swimming! | Subnautica Pt. 1 | Marz

In part 1, we dive into the alien ocean of Subnautica! This game has been suggested for a long time so I decided to check it out on Streams and explore. I've had a ton of fun just zoning out to this game so figured I'd sync this over for those who were looking for it!

**Just leaving this here since I'm sure people will ask** I'm going to film some Metro & LiS this week. The holidays, Elden Ring fun and life stuffs pulled me away for a bit. As long as you guys are still enjoying those two games, I'll get back into them soon! Let me know below if you're still interested in them!

[@RyotaRyoichi]

looking forward for your playthrough

[@FATBOY_.]

I think u will like this game. Craft the sea glide thing , it will help u travel faster and also dont forget the batteries for it.

[@JoyaLewisTheMusician]

[@antikiller8472]

Great to see you're playing this game. Some tips - 1) You swim quicker if you don't have a tool equipped, except for the seaglide. If your tool is in quickslot 1, press 1 again to holster it. 2) Don't pick up eggs. They're only useful when u get a certain blueprint much later in the game. 3) Yes, Stalkers can harm you regardless of what you do. They're carnivores. However they can be distracted by feeding them fish in hand. This applies to most carnivores. Some carnivores later in the game can be distracted using lights sources, like flares. 4) Check the databank in your pda for lifepod audio logs. Honestly, if you're confused, check your databank. It has tons of info and will be helpful if you're in a bind. 5) Scan anything that looks man made and is scannable. There is plenty of blueprints and tech to be found. If you've already got the blueprint for a scannable fragment, it'll give u 2 titanium instead, regardless of what it is.

[@TheCollectorsOasis]

[@makkurotatsu]

Amazing game, you're in for a treat. One key to enjoying the game is paying close attention to your surroundings. Scan all the things, follow developer clues (like "break limestone" and "cut creepvine with knife"). Flitting about like a mayfly will cause intense frustration.

YESSS! Marz is finally getting into Subnautica! This game is so good! Just so you know Marz, building your own habitat will make your life so much easier. Also, the Air Bladder will rapidly make you rise to the surface, which can be a life saver! Carry it on you at all times and have it on a keybind.

[@ItsTank521]

I have never been so exited to watch a person play this game, this is my fav game of all time and now I get to watch Marz play it. Best start to a Christmas EVER!!

[@Technosel]

Best tip for this game : READ EVERYTHING

[@the_omg3242]

Surprized nobody watching the stream mentioned any of this. Some things can only be harvested with a knife. You already found out about creepvine, but try using the knife on tube coral and table coral. Different ores are found in different rock types. Limestone will only have titanium or copper. Sandstone will only have silver, gold, or lead. There's more than just those 2, but pay attention to the rock type and what they look like. The quickbar can be accessed by using the numbers 1-5 on your keyboard. Pressing the number again will put away your current tool. You swim faster with your hands empty. Check the radio for new messages when the red light is flashing. The health kit fabricator automaticly fabricates new health kits. Empty it now and then and you'll never run out of them. Once you build a habitat you can make larger storage lockers that are easier to access. If you're not sure what to do next, pick a direction and explore. There's a LOT to find out there.

[@flyonthefloor1217]

[@adiarainfoster]

Watched you go past cave sulfur twice while looking for it and i couldn't help chuckling lol. took me a while to figure it out too :D. don't give up too easily. a good rule of thumb in this game is to look at everything you swim past. At least anything that you haven't already fully looked at. :) going out of the bottom is only slow the very first time you go out, the same as it was slow the first time you went out the top. edit: watching you looking for storage too, look at everything in every environment. including the escape pod and read what all of the things are in the fabricator. Your silicone is in there and it shows you what you need to make it.

[@chaselonnergan5402]

My favorite Subnautica Playthrough moment is now when Marz says she needs to find fiber mesh, immediately after blithely swimming past the game telling her to cut the creepvine sample.

[@MichaelWerle]

Just started playing this game myself, and Marz's play is the most enjoyable I've seen yet. Her reactions are great and she is so fearless! Being a scuba diver IRL, I was pretty cautious going into caves at first.. the PDA is very correct in saying disorientation in caves can easily lead to drowning, which is why cave diving is a highly trained-for and still very dangerous activity. But my diving background also highlights a bit of a problem in this game - IRL, underwater creatures never attack you. Or at least, _extremely_ rarely and it's usually due to mistaken identity, impinging on their territory, or having disturbed them in some way. But for some reason in this game, almost every predator attacks you on sight, even the tiny ones. Makes even less sense that creatures attack your vehicles. Ok, for some this is explained in-lore, but again, in most cases, makes zero sense. Love the game so far, just wish the creatures would behave marginally more realistically, and it would make the real jump-scares that much scarier..

[@knoxpuffer]

Urgh, watching someone play Subnautica who isn't curious about the environment, isn't reading what they scan, while saying they don't know how to find X, Y and Z resources, can be so incredible frustrating. :D Hopefully she'll learn that in next episode. :x
