You dont need mods to make subnautica not scary, because it never was. Just look at the cute reaper, he just wants a hug!

[@flames3334]

Yeah

[@glauberglousger6643]

Yes, especially in some fanart

[@TheLastBacon]

Some very painful hugs :)

[@rubenovereem9257]

​@@TheLastBaconits the tought that counts

[@tjmonkey5795]

No I don't trust him he's purposely destroying my seamoth and wait did he just destroy it okay that's it imma going to kill him

[@thegermanfool8953]

Imagine a mod that includes baby reaper leviathans that just circle around you because they are too young to actually harm you. 😂

[@caedenirizarry951]

Good Idea

[@TheLastBacon]

Aww that would be adorable :)

[@tjmonkey5795]

That would be adorable I want that

[@fallenking2719]

ah yes they would circle around you to somehow alarm their parents to turn you into a flesh pile it would be cute

[@MrWitchblade]

Like how people would want elephants as pets if they were only 18 inches tall. Baby Reapers. O.M.G. How much?

[@StuartSharp-zu2wg]

When I first encountered a reaper I heard it roar,ran away the thought "Nah imma go scan it" then got out my seamoth to collect loot. It jumpscared and one shot me,I stared screaming,went to pause but pressed the home button on my controller and fell out my chair,all while my brother was staring at me like I was crazy.

[@TheLastBacon]

Brave to go scan it :)

[@phantomhurricane666]

you don't know true fear until you hear that roar.

[@G21_778]

Lolthats what happened to me when i started

[@StargazerGirl000]

It's not the appearance of the Reaper that scares me, it's the tension of being in the murky water not knowing it will strike 😭😭😭

[@TheLastBacon]

Fair :) But when it’s the size of a guinea pig that helps.

[@Ripp___]

For me it’s the sound because that’s when I know it’s near me and can see me

[@StargazerGirl000]

@@Ripp___ I remember just casually in my Seamoth on the rim of the crash zone.. But I didn’t realise, and I just saw the shadow of the Reaper. Let’s say I haven’t touched Subnautica in a while 💀

[@MrWitchblade]

@@Ripp___ thinking of sound? I put a short video on my channel which fits this. People told me, LISTEN! I didn't listen......... 😆

[@TenoriteJS]

yea, now that i figured out how to do console commands i can't stop toggling fog (but then again, i AM playing with reapers in the grassy plateau/kelp forest, and near the floating islands

[@l7wenie675]

You can take the monsters out of the game but you can't take the memories that will haunt you for ever

[@TheLastBacon]

Deep! :)

[@R0B_WR]

for the stealth sea moth upgrade it might even be scarier to have a meter saying how far the leviathan is, it kinda gives the effect of the handheld radar used in the “Alien” movies

[@TheLastBacon]

That’s very fair actually :D

[@dizzylilthing]

The reapers move so fast, watching that number steadily going up up only for it to slow down and then stop and then slowly start to go down down down, picking up speed, double digits spinning down faster than you can count as the roar sounds, 70 to 60 to 50 before the sound is over, 40 to 30 to 20 in silence as you realize that there's nothing you can do. at that point, I would rather just die by surprise.

[@Envixty6991]

Even if you did remove all the reapers and everything hostile and told me i would still be scared because I have already been given PTSD and have been scarred for life.

[@TheLastBacon]

Fair :D

[@phantasmadonut3952]

same

[@theterrorofdimensions1326]

That's the beauty of Subnautica: even when you theoretically should have nothing to fear, due to there being no hostile spawns in the area you're traveling through, the atmosphere still puts you on edge and terrifies you.

[@spartanwar1185]

Subnautica players are never the same after their first journey into the dead zone...

[@getawayguy8162]

This is exactly what happens when Subnautica fans get bored: They attempt to do the impossible.

[@TheLastBacon]

Accurate :)

[@archiethorpe-vu9qu]

I really realate

[@Lizard_X999]

When you went to all those places that had hostile creatures like jelly shroom caves it seemed very uncanny without the crabsnakes or the back of the aurora without the reapers.

[@TheLastBacon]

Yeah it was a bit weird :)

[@thesetwofloofs5397]

They just seem so… dead

[@kieferholster4900]

I never thought the ghost leviathan was scary, I always thought it was really cool with its lore, glow, and unique design and sound. It's also cute in a way I can't quite put into words. Also hover fish is probably the cutest fish in my opinion, no offense to cuddle fish lovers, that's the 2nd cutest.

[@WigglyStuf]

Based

[@TheLastBacon]

Totally agree :)

[@CallytheCalicoCat]

I agree with both statements here

[@vanguard1103_pS]

tbh, having a ghost leviathan come out of literally nowhere in my first time going to the deep grand reef terrified me, it didn't help that when i went back and mustered up the courage to scan it, i found out that it was a JUVENILE

[@dizzylilthing]

the ghost fish is a cute uwu kiss bean, ripe for hugging. But when I dove off the edge of the crater because I didn't hear the dead zone warning, I'm not going to pretend like looking up and seeing the ghost Leviathan didn't make me cry.

[@glauberglousger6643]

Replacing all fish with fish-human hybrids works too (Fandom’s Reaper art and such, although maybe scaling needs to be done for some leviathans, a 50ft humanoid Reefback would probably be much more terrifying than a normal one)

[@TheLastBacon]

Sounds terrifying haha :)

[@omegadoesstuff334]

I feel like being hunted down by an anthro fish is more terrifying

[@spartanwar1185]

oh boy, now not only am i gonna be scared _i'm gonna be scared AND confused_

[@IngrainedShadow]

All we are missing now is a mod that takes us to hevan after we die in game, for the ultimate peaceful ending

[@TheLastBacon]

Haha yep :)

[@PinguXD18]

This man has gotten me into subnautica a few years ago. Thank you so much!

[@TheLastBacon]

Yay you’re very welcome :)

[@Bthakilla4rilla]

Back in 2014 - 2017 playing the early builds, looking at how little the game used to have but then seeing what was added with every update, watching the world being actively built around you. Subnautica was such an interesting experience for me, and now thinking of how long ago that was makes me feel old as shit.

[@TheLastBacon]

Same!! Looking at the older builds makes me feel really old :(

To bad the damage doesn't scale with the size on the random size mod. Small reapers with the potential of a full sized one is even scarier.

[@pug_lord7397]

[@TheLastBacon]

[@tinomirer]

[@Fulgrim2]

Fabricator should make plushies. An idea for a future video: making a functional base with only a handful of the basic parts, no multipurpose room or giant room.

[@TheLastBacon]

Totally agree :)

[@toonaishere]

well you weren't lying when you said next time, this is pure happiness

[@TheLastBacon]

Yiss :)

[@Lotus_God]

The pure terror of this game comes from the fact most of the attacks are jumpscares, especially when you cant see 5 meters infront of you, there will always be that feeling of uneasiness (take the void for example, after you remove the ghost leviathans spawns) even if you did remove the creature spawns.

[@TheLastBacon]

Yeah that certainly doesn't help :)

[@venatorthethird4108]

Usually I spend the week preparing for absolute nightmare fuel from your videos (flash back from the nightmare mods) This was a good change of pace, though I didn't mind the horror videos as well And keep up the good work

[@TheLastBacon]

Haha thank you :)

[@Morar_Bro]

I've got a suggestion for you. Since you are an incredibly important figure when it comes to subnautica, you could do what the youtuber balagaga did with rain world, that being monthly mod showcase vids about the best, weirdest or interesting mods of the month or so.

[@TheLastBacon]

Sounds like a great idea! :)

[@Hekatred]

I have a deep, crippling phobia of the ocean- so much so that I nearly threw up gunning it to the Aurora, stayed on the surface, only dove when I had to, and had to pause on land for 10 minutes to get over the nausea. Fuck the ocean. Reapers only scare me because I hate that they can sneak up on you, and I can't handle that shit. I managed to make it over halfway through the game like this when my save was corrupted and I lost everything. I've never been able to get up the courage to try it all again, but wanted the game 100%'d. I will be using that mod. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[@grishemall]

I've found another solution - if you use console command "invisible", all hostile creatures ignore player, however they will still attack vehicles, like seamoth or cyclops. There's little mod, that changes this command, so creatures will no longer be hostile towards your vessels. They still be there, they still will make creepy sounds, but they will be passive. In addition, it removes the invincibility while using this command, so you can still die from heat or radiation, or if you swim straight into reapers mouth. So most of the atmosphere will be kept, but you won't have to be worried that something will bite your ass off

[@TheLastBacon]
