Subnautica But I Start in the LOST RIVER...

Soon after Ryley Robinson’s return to Alterra, several research teams are sent to 4546B to catalog the species there and begin to uncover alien technology left by the Precursors. During one research mission, you and your team are sent to explore the Lost River. However, not far along into the expedition, your team is attacked by a Ghost Leviathan. You manage to escape in a SeaMoth just before the Cyclops explodes, although it’s damaged by the blast. Disoriented, you travel deeper into the depths of the Lost River, until you finally stop where we find you now. You decide to get out and quickly construct a base for shelter, hoping to have a safe place to recuperate and decide what to do next. However, moments after you finish the base’s construction, a River Prowler attacks, destroying your SeaMoth, and knocking your Habitat Builder into the brine…
I would like to quickly mention that yes, I could have taken the battery out of the scanner instead of going to the vent and getting acid mushrooms in order to craft it. But I decided that that would be against the rules of the challenge since it would be kind of lame. I apologize for forgetting to mention this in the video. I hope you guys enjoyed regardless :)

With a total of 780 seconds of air would it not be simpler to go out the blood kelp exit? Also you didn’t need the acid mushrooms because your scanner had a battery in it

[@weirdgamer9566]

Yeah, but there's an issue there: they wouldnt have been able to craft the battery for the scanner either, so they likely just didnt use it to follow the rules of the challenge as good as possible.

Bladder fish give the same oxygen per inventory space as the high capacity O2 tank

[@jmpmanaj2329]

I found you in mid 2021, through your old subnautica theory videos, as I had just gotten the game. I just have to say you sound a LOT older, and it’s only been about a year but you have grown a lot.

[@zinc2zinc2]

why didnt he eat a couple bladder fish to make room for acid mushrooms? 1 bladder fish gives only 15s of air, eat a few to fill up to 90

[@arachnid1353]

So I first found your channel because I was wondering how to make fiber mesh. So basically I was looking for titanium but found kyanite

[@RoundusMongus]

As someone who almost always moves their main base down into the Lost River because I love the aesthetics and atmosphere there, this is beautiful.

[@latheredtrillionaire5701]

Another banger, Speedy. Been watching for awhile, always knew you'd blow up.

[@thecommentguy9380]

now if im correct: you actually have an additional 10 seconds for your screen to fade to black everytime you run out of oxygen, so you actually have 25 seconds with each bladder fish taking some time out, lets be generous and remove 5 seconds, multiply by 37, you effectively got an additional 185 seconds additional calculation: your high cap tank takes 6 slots and give 90s oxygen (95 with fade-out time), but 6 bladder fish also give 90 seconds, combining it with the additional time you get from fade-out (effectively 30s from 6 fish), you actually get 120 seconds from bladder fish which is 35 seconds more than high cap tank also the entire trip to go get the battery and return may have been over half the way if you used blood-kept exit, and that much only took half your bladders, so if you just filled your inventory with them you might have escaped a lot faster removing your dive suit would also help you swim faster and save some time (as reinforced suit have a ~1 m/s penalty) experiment from free play mode: -it takes 3:44:56 (224,56 seconds) for me to reach the surface from the moment i exited the compartment using blood kept route with ultra glide fins... i seem to forgot to calculate with air tank speed penalty but speed loss from it is insignificant as you still have a shit load of time with 43 bladder -if you have 43 bladder fish, that means you have 645 seconds of air, and a total of additional 215 seconds of fade-out time between each use, you have effective total of 860 seconds to leave -trade off from this route is that you will have to evade the amp eels and those pesky fish in the cave entrance (bad luck if you have the crab squid)

[@nigelxd3735]

The reinforced diving suit reduces you movement speed by 10% so maybe taking it of would've make the acid mushrooms cruced a bit less painful

Keep doing what you're doing speedy, great content man

[@lottadixonner8994]

Id never have the patience for this, love the content!

[@MrFlubber]

Not sure using the reinforced suit during the super long travel for the acid mushrooms was the smartest because it decreases speed and probably you might not have needed nearly as many bladderfish to complete it. That being said, there was a battery in the scanner...

[@Blackrider2076]

Ok, I’m confused. Why was he only eating 1 bladder fish at a time?

[@crystalferrai]

Once oxygen reaches 0, you get additional "free" time where no oxygen is consumed, making each bladder fish closer to 18 seconds rather than 15.
