a slightly uncomfortable thing to think about is that we only have access to a little less than half of the lifepods that left the aurora, the others fell into the void ☠️

Tip: collect brain coral and plant it near your base, it was the plant you were using for oxygen at 29:50, just use a knife and cut the coral to collect a sample.

[@radscorpion8]

also don't get angry and yell at the giant, predatory electric shark-eels for biting you lol. That's their job. Its up to you to make sure your craft is fully repaired and in a safe place so you can evacuate :). And for the love of God, use the knife to defend yourself especially against the crabs. You don't need to allow yourself to be continuously eaten alive!

[@razzter_]

the cave at 29:32 had lots of uraninite crystals (rocks with the green spots), that you can use to power a nuclear reactor. Would be very beneficial to go get as much as you can in the next video

[@someguy9422]

Our guy finally got a nights sleep. It feels amazing sleeping on a proper bed after not having one for a bit.

[@FiatUno2003]

After watching the first 3 Subnautica videos you posted I decided to play Subnautica and man, I freaking love this game. The main thing that always makes me come back to Subnautica is the soundtrack. It is such a banger, specially the music you hear in the Shallows (start area). And another banger is the music you hear when you push your Cyclops submarine a little too hard. I always purposely drive my Cyclops at full speed just to hear that music. I wish this game had a jukebox like Below Zero. It would be awesome to just rock up around the map driving the Cyclops and running over fish while listening to some banging soundtrack.

[@Television_Hater]

Same thing! Whenever I hear the opening music I just have to play the game again. And the story is just gold.

[@gekinatracksuit9710]

the stressful music is also really underrated stuff like Lava Castle always gets my heart pumping

[@KyanoAng3l0]

Same. I love the Cyclops. It's kinda like a mobile base.

[@Emolt76]

@@KyanoAng3l0 that's exactly what it is... If only the Torpedoes were real...

[@KyanoAng3l0]

If you don't mind tips on tools: You should def get that Thermoblade. Besides dealing more damage, it instantly cooks edible fauna like Peepers so you don't have to worry about using a Fabricator or carrying cooked stuff with you. The Propulsion Cannon should be a must-have in your wreck explorations. It's basically this game's Gravity Gun. And its counterpart could help you with the annoying predators (and it doesn't deal damage at all, which's great for us animal lovers).

[@birdup1_2]

33:37 seems like a bit of a jab at rainworld, but lemme defend it. For that, the cycle system is intrinsically tied into the world building, and the lore, it is a part of the world that, not just your character, but all living things, go through. However yeah, usually it’s just pretty immersion breaking

[@Bluberdoober]

I love this series so much. I’ve played through the game on my own time. But I rushed it due to my own Thalassophobia it’s a great game. One of the best that released in the last ten years. It’s beautiful even though it doesn’t have ultra realistic graphics. Overall one of my favorite games that will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@teheqlles9036]

That alien containment building will let you set up a fish farm. It's good to set one or two up for food and water early on.

[@teheqlles9036]

Also - there's a 'plant' called a gel sack that grows around the mountain. They're useful in crafting certain things, and while they're not the most nutritious they never go bad. Worth a look and an exterior growbed!

[@thedukeofweasels6870]

Most people just save after every big event. And then if you die, you quit without saving. So you can load at your last save and don't have to go back for your stuff

[@radscorpion8]

You're making very fast progress because you decided to build your base near the alien cannon where all the hostile aliens are - most people build their home base near the shallow coral reef where your lifepod was because its safer. As a side note I think its pretty dangerous because if the teleporting aliens can forcibly extract you from your seamoth I think there's a chance they can extract you from your base if you are behind glass - especially in your observatory sleeping chambers. However, the benefit of your location is that, if you dive deeply enough, you have access to a lot of technology and resources that seem to be clumped together. Not to mention, the island itself is a treasure trove for lithium which is needed for more advanced seafaring vessels. The real difficulty in this game will be navigating some of the deeper parts of the map which can be maze-like at times and filled with dangerous predators. Try to make as much use of the beacons as you can, they will help a lot in this regard

[@questwalkerko]

Aerogel is a plant product, so you have to explore more plants. Also, get the scanner room.

This is quickly becoming a favorite series from the Librarian!

[@birdup1_2]

8:45 well, water is actually a rather bad conductor of electricity, though it may be a somewhat large charge at first, those are mostly just stray sparks, so it’d be somewhat fine from a distance Edit: guy who replied to this comment summed it up a lot better, check it!

[@TehCakeIzALie1]

_Pure_ water is a relatively poor conductor. _Saltwater_ (i.e. seawater, in Subnautica as well as real life) is literally _several orders of magnitude_ more conductive, to the point that it could theoretically be used in circuitry. However, because saltwater itself is so conductive, an electric shock is actually less likely to be fatal in seawater compared to somewhat-impure freshwater - the path of least resistance for the current is through the water, rather than through the person! However, in this case the current path has no real reason to travel _away_ from the conductive materials of the ship itself. Maybe more importantly, a current leaking into water wouldn't be visible as electrical arcs - the most you'd see would be tiny bubbles from electrolysis - which tells me that we're mostly working on rule-of-cool here; the electricity is supposed to be less of a hazard and more like special effects. This episode of pedantry brought to you by: me finally getting to use my degree for something, anything, lmao :')

[@dookucount]

Re your rant about saving versus respawning: Neither is immersive, as neither exists in real life. The whole concept of undoing mistakes or evading the consequences by trying again is one of the biggest immersion killers throughout the history of computer games. Personally, I enjoy being able to save and reload, because it is convenient and I am a risk-averse wuss, but Subnautica is more than forgiving when it comes to dying - indefinitely, without consequences beyond dropping the items collected since leaving the base/lifepod. If you want immersion, try games like EVE Online, which are brutally punishing due to all losses being permanent and irreversible. People routinely lose ships and equipment which took months of work and time investment by whole groups of players. Now *that* stings, while Subnautica is cuddling players, unless they choose the one-death-game-over mode.
