Subnautica | Secrets of the depths: how deep can you dive?

There was a video on my channel about how far you can swim in Subnautica. I decided to make a similar video about how deep you can dive, and whether there is a bottom in the game.
I will also show a couple of interesting things that I discovered.

I love the logic here. Getting out of your sub while thousands of meters deep to fix the hull damage due to the immense pressure.

[@realscooby-doo]

Don't even need a helmet or anything!

[@evthespineconfiscator8652]

Lmao

[@tdoyr2119]

Sometimes I wish they added some sort of max dive depth for the player outside of a vehicle and multiple different diving suits. Would definitely make things more interesting. Also vehicle-mounted scanners. For instance, let’s say the max dive depth without a vehicle or any special suits is 100-300 meters. But with a depth 1 suit, you get 500, Depth 2 700, and depth 3 1000. But you still need to use a vehicle to go any deeper than that, meaning you will take damage fairly quickly outside of a vehicle passed your max dive depth. Realistically, a human can actually dive 35.5 kilometers deep before breaking bones, which is 3x the deepest part of the world. That being said, you can only go about 20 meters before receiving tissue damage from decompression if you went back up. Despite this, I think dive suits and maximum unaided dive cap would be a fun addition, maybe just for harder difficulties

Back in the day, there wasn't any teleportation, you could fall down dozens of kilometers, the void had a bottom in some places at around 3000m with a very creepy landscape, they removed it for some reason

[@thespanishinquisition496]

If I read that perfectly, it was exactly at 8,192m when you were teleported back up, yes I focused only on the numbers.

[@JamesGriffinT]

8192 is 2 to the power 13, probably not a coincidence

[@ouijabored45]

exact same distance you get teleported horizontally from the world center

[@matheusn1741]

@@JamesGriffinT Nope, its not a coincidence. If we just roughly take a integer to measure things in the game we would have a limit of 2⁶³ meters for a 64bits compiled game. 63 bits to use as number and 1 bit to use as signal (positive and negative numbers). But the game seens to not use the entire integer for this. Maybe its limited by something else that uses a 16bit number and the game dev just clamped the limits to 2¹³, something like "Wow! The rendering stopped working at 2¹⁴ meters and now i can just see the skybox. Maybe i should put the limits at 2¹³ just for safety". We usually clamp things like this when strange things happens on the out of bounds area. Remember that a game engine is composed by several components(physics engine, rendering, logic engine...) and they have different limitations. Examples of those artifacts are the farlands in Minecraft and how the physics works when you go to parallel universes on Mario64.

[@averageaviator763]

For anyone wanting to do this themselves there is a better way, all you need to do is hold the repair tool open your pda then quickly and I mean lightning fast close the pda and enter the prawn suit. Then u can use the repair tool inside the prawn.

[@evn657]

[@foxyhxcmacfly2215]

@@shadydaemon4178 As an indie game dev (And even tho Subnautica's creators are a whole team, not just one gal, it still applies to them) you guys underestimate the amount of work needed to bring such a game to life. Why not fill it? Because it would take another decade and an additional budget with several 0s. Once a game is out and fully fixed (or at least, as polished as possible) it's usually modding communities who keep adding stuff, which is the case for Subnautica. Alas, even modding takes a LOT of time and modders usually work on their projects for free...

The thing with teleportation is that you get teleported 100 meters in any direction from 0,0 coordinates. So that's why you and your crab got teleported away from each other. Also the distance to from the capsule to the edges will be longer in some places, as the capsule is never on the 0,0.

[@soulsurvivor2706]

there are 2 ways I know of that are possible to do this, the easiest one is repair tool glitch Prawn Suit, other one is keep an abundance of Ion power cells on you and in the cyclops storage and just use the shield generator the whole way down, although i am surprised you made it all the way down by repairing the prawn outside of it so, kudos I guess, I also liked your idea with the floaters, I personally would've experimented with other objects, ones that are larger and flatter but nice job overall

8191m, including 0m that makes it 8192 values, then gets cycled back to 0. This is a strange limit cuz its 1/8th of a 16 bit float (most common) what are they using for the remaining 57344 values? Unless the game keeps track of depth in 0.125m fractions but only displays every 8th one.

[@tehdmanvids3]

[@travellingshoes5241]

I sunk down to around 7000m with the Prawn Suit before it imploded then swam down with the Seaglide to just beyond 8000m hoping to find the bottom but ended up back at my base. It was an interesting, if illogical, journey.

[@duckyduckington9736]

I'd like the idea of you falling and if you look infront of you past 8000 meters you'll see two gargantuan eyes staring at you before you get eaten. And when i mean massive I mean MASSIVE, im talking about their eyes being the size of icebergs but the creatures eyes are like crabs meaning that it is much MUCH bigger. And hell you wouldn't know you've been eaten until you hit the bottom of the throat and splash into the stomach, slowly dieing.
