"I need some um..." *bladder fish runs into face* "I need some water." Great ironic timing there.

[@dikoee]

hahaha the bladder fish wanted to remind me in case i forgot 😌

[@GoSuMonSteR]

Watching you discard all the metal salvage while looking for titanium was brutal. lol

[@dikoee]

I FELT THE SAME WAY WHEN I WAS EDITING 😭🤦‍♀️

[@daKwolf]

As I write, 36 minutes in, expressing a need for titanium with a locker full of metal salvage is triggering😊

[@mdfrenchy]

That was one of my favorite parts. Not making fun of her. I've been there and done that. 😆

[@gunnarholst]

Agree with the other commenter; Your energy is top notch! Laughed more than once watching this 😂 Hope you enjoy the game, it's fantastic! A couple of (non-spoiler) tips: - In the options menu you can toggle a checkbox to pause the game while in the PDA (useful if u don't wanna go to the surface to read stuff or swap out tools on your hotbar). - There is an icon in the lower right corner that is visible if ur looling at something you can scan, and I do recommend scanning everything. And; Yes, the lights are fine! Looking forward to the next ep!

[@dikoee]

thank you so much!!! and that’s super helpful !! thank you ! i’ll have to incorporate those the next time i play! i’ll definitely start scanning more , i love learning about the world building they did in this game !!

[@gunnarholst]

@@dikoee I agree! They put so much effort into it ^^ Glad to be able to help! :)

[@LukaelPlays]

Oh man I had this same idea of wearing a snorkel for my first Subnautica thumbnail, but never actually did it! 😄 I'm currently playing through this game as well, having a lot of fun and getting some good viewership, I hope it does well for you too!

[@Anubiee]

Hey it's lukael 😁

[@LukaelPlays]

@@Anubiee 👋😁

[@dikoee]

hahaha oh my gosh no way ! i was definitely 100% checking out your videos before i posted this first episode! hi i hope you're doing well !!! your thumbnails are amazing! i hope you're planning on playing Below Zero too! I'd be excited to watch it! and yes, i'm absolutely ecstatic about how kind and fun everyone has been in the comments ! thank you!! i hope you continue to have fun in your playthroughs and wishing you kindness within your community!!

[@LukaelPlays]

@@dikoee Oh wow, that's really cool to know you've been watching my playthrough! 😄 I am indeed gonna play Below Zero at some point after I'm done with the game! Wishing you the same as well

[@dikoee]

@@LukaelPlays i'm excited to see it !! thank you !! have fun too:)!

[@1raremuan]

probably really late on this, but to dogde crashfish, either outrun with a seaglide (straight line) or dogde it by swimming directly at it and just glancing it. As long as they had some decent speed, their momentum carries on and it usually takes them to long to turn around to get you. This can be done with just standard flippers (deathrun remade player so I know how to dodge just about anything).

[@rieskorin2027]

If you ever get to the point where you don’t know where to go, let me tell you, it’s down. It’s always down. Oh and, oxygen!

[@dikoee]

thank you thank you!!! that’s super helpful cause sometimes i do get a bit stumped on what my next move should be !!

[@Vasilio1000]

Scan everything that flashes the scan symbol on the screen, and carefully read your PDA - that's the only general advice anyone in Subnautica needs. Skipping the PDA is a mistake in this game unless you are pre-determined to experience it the hard way and without much understanding of the story. True, the PDA gives you a lot of information to read, but - it is most definitely worth it. And once you start reading everything, you'll soon realize which parts are actually important, and which ones you can skip.

[@dikoee]

thank you!! a few commenters have alerted me to that icon so now i’ll be able to do better at scanning everything!! i’ll make sure to catch up on reading as well as reading everything more thoroughly ! i suppose i was a bit concerned with overloading viewers w information but i definitely agree. games, especially subnautica, are all about the story so i’ll do better at showing that story!!

[@sharondornhoff7563]

Please take medkits out of the green fabricator as soon as they're finished. You'll want to stockpile several of them so you can bring some first aid along each time you venture into danger. (IOW, each time you venture practically anywhere for now. 😉)

[@daKwolf]

It's funny...in searching for cave sulfer, invariably, you run from it!😅 The death by fish occurred because it detonated near acid mushrooms that ACTUALLY killed you

[@Loogster]

The Beats, In the Subnautica games are just "chef's kiss" 🤌

[@Metalgarn]

What controls are you using? The movement is so jerky I can't watch it anymore. Maybe I can listen to it in the background someday.

[@Sprk2437.]

Can't wait for part 2 keep it up

[@CertifiedHuntingHornNoob]

I NEED more channels that do hour long videos, you are a welcome addition to my list

[@dikoee]

🫶 !! editing the next video right now !👀

[@HuskyOffset]

I once ran across someone who does *3 hr long* playthrough videos. Dude is a maniac.

[@Irongarrison.5764]

Love subnautica play throughs can't water to watch your videos!

[@dikoee]

tank you!!!

[@lipgloss202]

Watching you just skip the information the game gives you in text form was brutal. lol Good luck!

[@ShashwatSrivastava94]

Just a few helpful tips. Scan everything. Read everything. The story comes together beautifully if you do. Great gameplay. Looking forward to episode 2 🎉🎉 Edit: Pause PDA breaks up the immersion of the game. I always had that option disabled. It gives the game a much more realistic feel. Also, a small scanner icon appears on the bottom right of the screen for things you havent scanned before. It helps you utilize the scanner to its full potential :)

[@dikoee]

i will thank you!!! i’ll make sure to do better in my next recording and try to piece together the story even more!! and very true, i started experimenting with the PDA pause in my latest recording, i agree it does break up the immersion. thank you so much!! i’ve noticed i’ve missed a few things to scan in my last parts and that little icon will help me get more of the story!!!

[@Frai8501]

cured means it has been cooked and treated with salt to preserve it and prevent rot. this is a real food preservation technique.

[@brianpack369]

42:00 You didn't have to drown. You can swap the battery out of your flashlight and put it in your Seaglide.

[@htewing]

def don't be afraid to look around lifepod areas (and wreckage and other areas)! there are some bits that are easy to miss that are pretty crucial to the continuing story. can't wait for the next one!

[@dikoee]

YOURE SO SMART !! thank you!!!! that’s a super helpful tip!!! i’ll go back to them and investigate them more in the next part !!:)

[@Argyuile3]

You should call this episode "What is a Cave"

[@dikoee]

NO ACTUALLY i swear so many of the places i was in were caves ! T-T WHAT DEFINES A CAVE

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

@@dikoeecave: a large underground chamber, typically of natural origin, in a hillside or cliff

[@dikoee]

@@RabbitsFunWorld then some of the spots i was in were deceiving me bc i SWEAR those were caves !!! 🤔😆 i saw a definition that said it has to be deep enough to not be touched by light or something so maybe that's where i was going wrong

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

@@dikoee technically, yeah. Most caves don’t have lighting from the sun/moon.

[@dikoee]

@@RabbitsFunWorld now i know the next time i need to find a cave haha!

[@toidillov9705]

It is so funny to me how you grasp the concepts of the game within 30 minutes, while other streamers uselessly mill around without a clue after eight hours! XD However, your FPS-Reflexes don´t do you any favours in Subnautica. Take your Time. Look around. When you can scan something, the indicator will show you, but if you are spazzing around FPS-Style, the indicator will just flash for a millisecond and you´ll miss it. The sulphur situation was even worse for me. During my first try, there were NO sulphurplants. AT ALL. I had to restart. No idea what happened there. If you are wondering what you need something for (like bleach), try it. Craft it once, and the PDA should tell you. Sometimes you even get a new Blueprint.

[@dikoee]

thank you ! yeah, i definitely have to adjust my play style haha i will make sure to do that!! i’m sure that’s why i didn’t even notice the scan icon! oh no! that’s so unlucky!! hopefully u weren’t too far before u had to restart and the new game worked well!

[@davidplowman6149]

Like a lot of people have said, you have a scan indicator in the bottom right of the screen. Unfortunately, it’s in the bottom right and fairly dull so you have to train yourself to notice it especially on a large monitor

[@dikoee]

thank you!! yeah, i definitely didn’t even notice that icon at first but now i’ll be able to get better at recognizing it and scanning everything i can!!

[@nayrufarore7432]

@dikoee Go behind the aurora. There are a ton of resources there. Towards the the thrusters.

[@dikoee]

REALLY???? okok i'll do that next !!! thank you!

[@sharondornhoff7563]

44:06 - Reefbacks are harmless. Not everything that hitches a lift on reefbacks is, though.

[@jmg2105]

Is the 1995 keyboard/mouse combination an aesthetic thing? If so, diggit. Just loud af

[@SLM977]

Jeez. How are your keys not broken the way you are tapping them?

[@dikoee]

hahaha i swear i'm not hitting them as hard as it seems, my keyboard is just very loud! granted, i probably hit them a lil harder than normal

[@HH-hd7nd]

24:26 You can actually, it's just a matter of speed. Some animals (like dolphins, certain whales and some fish) do that all the time.

[@dikoee]

that makes sense that they can cause they normally have that speed advantage !! could humans tho?? w the equipment the character has?

[@HH-hd7nd]

@@dikoee According to Google it is very difficult but possible for a good swimmer with some equipment like a monofin. That said - the character in Subnautica doesn't really jump out of the water entirely. It's more like what you can see in butterfly stroke swimming competitions. Imagine someone using that style, just with the addition of a monofin or something like that for additional speed. It is possible to avoid this "jump" out of the water in Subnautica btw - you only have to slow down when approaching the surface.

[@dikoee]

@@HH-hd7nd ohh wow now i gotta see someone do that! and ohhh okok thank you because sometimes that jump is a bit inconvenient haha!

[@Trollgernautt]

Ok, but hear me out, what if there was an Ozzy from the cargo bay and yet another Ozzy from the human resources? Ozzy from the cafeteria starts to sound reasonable...

[@sharkguy27]

you have really good filming quality for such a small youtuber!!

[@dikoee]

thank you!!

[@haydencarn8737]

Why is she playing this with the movements of a Fortnite/call of duty streamer? She trying to speed run the game on her first try? It's fun to watch and you are being funny too, but a bit stressful, lol.

[@dikoee]

lmfao because i'm not used to these style games. i do normally play fast movement games so i'm still adjusting x trust, i'm learning to slow down

[@JustPlay_NChill]

Did you just cook the bladder fish?, you can make water from it. And by the way, don't go to the back of the Aurora

[@dikoee]

listennnn i didn't realize that yet but now i ONLY use bladderfish for water haha! and omg okok i definitely didnt already try to do that and left cause i was scared

[@JustPlay_NChill]

Some tips from me, use salt and tube coral sample to makr bleach and the from bleach you can get 2 disinfected water, way more worth according to my own playthrough

[@dikoee]

@@JustPlay_NChill thank you so much! i was wondering what the difference was, i'll make sure to do that !!! x

[@EnchantYoutube]

ur cookin wit the algorithm😭😭

[@dikoee]

it makes me so happy the algorithm is showing some love!!! i've been able to meet/chat with so many fun and kind people !!! :)

[@GoodLifeIncLLL]

I love your energy enjoy a wonderful game

[@dikoee]

thank you so much!!

[@sivad7016]

Exploding fish is cave sulphur

[@Hobodeluxe007]

you should lower your mouse speed. it's whipping around far too quickly. scan and read everything, use blueprint pinning to remind you of your objectives.

[@jesssu2602]

Things seem to be going fairly well! This episode's subtitle could be "We Very Nearly Find A Great Number of Things" :D I hope it keeps being fun, this is my favorite game.

[@dikoee]

haha wait did i miss a bunch of stuff?? /genq and i hope so too, it's looking like it!! so far i absolutely love the game !!!:D

[@jesssu2602]

@@dikoee Mostly just joking about things you found later, honestly :) Like the bladderfish/water problem, and the titanium, that sort. It's easy to get so dialed-in on what you're immediately doing that you don't look around and realize there's a solution jumping up and down :D

[@dikoee]

@@jesssu2602 oh true true true ! i was worried i missed something and didn't even catch it in editing haha !

[@grovatbu]

Do you accept hints? Or are you against "backseat gaming"?

[@dikoee]

I'm all for help and direction giving for the game! I only ask to be mindful of spoilers out of respect for myself and viewers !

[@grovatbu]

@@dikoee that's fair. I just wanted to let you know, since you were looking for titanium, that you use the fabricator to turn Metal Salvage into four pieces of titanium. Also, scanning a fragment you already have the blueprint for will give you two pieces of titanium. Hope that helps

[@dikoee]

@@grovatbu it does!! thank you very much, i'll make sure to incorporate that better the next time i play!!!

[@HedleyLamarr]

That "rick and morty" egg bit cracked me up. They were riffing on Alien to begin with. I won't spoil things I hope by saying you should investigate them more. I think that's more of a hint than a spoiler It would seem you figured it out between cuts. Great job.

[@dikoee]

i was hoping people would know that bit in rick and morty haha!!! and gosh it’s been so long since i’ve seen the first Alien i’ll have to rewatch to understand the reference!! thank you i didn’t know that! and thank you for the hint i can definitely use all i can get !!!

[@N0Bah_D-666]

"First time"

[@kevinmcclure2491]

good game, kept it up.

the game is amazing so far! and i will !!
