11:30 As a no-spoiler general hint: If you are searching for PDAs, it is better to search for them without using the flashlight/seaglide light and instead look for the light blue glow emitted by the PDA

[@hayunnie]

The plasteel ingot recipe realisation was wonderful and the braincell comment was hilarious. You're witty.

[@maksphoto78]

Indiana Jones - "Crabs, why does it always have to be crabs?" You could name your Seamoth "Peeper". It's small and agile.

[@KaelKnight]

Peeper or Eyeye as it essentially has one large eye

[@Smol_PC]

And maybe the cyclops can be Reefback!

[@guardian1982]

cute Idea, and colored in blue with a yellow cocpit :-) Maybe "Peeper MK II" to make clear you are superior to normal peepers ^^

[@sorenthegreat1]

fun fact! the chairs in subnautica makes it so you dont lose hunger or water when sitting so its like pausing the game.

[@stainedglassstories7735]

The rabbit rays are supposed to be so fantastically poisonous that nothing eats them anymore; predators see one and just avoid. So I like to name my seamoth "Rabbit" and paint it the same blue and orange. It doesn't actually help, but I like to think it does.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

A hilarious tidbit about early access. Reapers used to be a random replacement for any fish. LOL It made life interesting.

[@LukaelPlays]

sounds like an absolute nightmare lol

[@Alfonso88279]

The invisibility of the islands is just a game mechanic. It's necessary to make you feel in the middle of the ocean, and to make the discovery of the islands something so surprising and interesting. That's why I keep my suspension of disbelief. Ignoring that nonsense helps me to enjoy the game so much more.

[@kohakuarai]

Perhaps because both islands have alien sites, maybe the aliens used some technology to camouflage it so it wouldn't be discovered so easily? Just a theory haha

[@nuclear2970]

Perhaps it's because of the humidity which causes the fog, the Aurora is very dry because of, well, the fires, while the islands are full of vegetation so it would make some sense for the islands to be covered in fog while the Aurora is perfectly visible.

It is kind of fun to try to collect and grow all the plants and animals. When playing this game in early access with all the scanning and seeds I thought it might be some kind of xenobiology story. I was excited about that idea. I am glad they kept the intricate speculative biology in the game even if the story has going a different direction. It is part of why I love this game so much.

[@stuttermaple5768]

Story/lore is a huge part of the game, so I understand not wanting it spoiled. But also I understand people not wanting you to miss out on it. It’s a fine line to not cross. But honestly, I don’t mind you “missing” stuff because it’s your authentic experience.

[@NickCombs]

If you don't want to miss stuff, what you might want to do is find just one or two people who know the game who you trust to not spoil it.

[@HannahG_x]

That could be a good idea then they could always say a hint rather than exactly what it is, or they could say roughly what it's related to and you can choose if you want to know the hint or continue as you were

Good idea

[@JoshuaRichards2010]

The primary reason players / streamers miss PDAs is that they are using their flashlight or the Seamoth's lights and this causes you to not notice the glow from the abandoned PDA as much. If you feel like it, you can try shutting your lights completely off, then noting what sticks out to you before turning them back on to explore.

[@LukaelPlays]

Makes sense, but I try to keep my lights on as much as possible, otherwise I get comments that it's too dark to see 😅

[@Maholix]

I named my sea moth the "Sea Katt" since it's a small agile vessel amongst the fishes, helping me with tasks. It was my way to make a pun about a excavator while going "I am the cat. Your a fish. I am superior." Once I got a prawn suit I named it "Levi" short for Leviathan, as a statement. It was my way of saying I wasn't afraid and had the power to be counted amongst the ranks of the biggest predators. :D Didn't stop me from freaking out at some of the discoveries though. Lol

[@mephistophelicpierogi]

That little edit around 11 min in had me crying laughing

[@tetefather]

The islands are not visible because they represent spoilers. If you look at where the island is at, you can actually barely see its blurry edges and you realize that they are purposefully hidden. There isn't any in game explanation other than fog maybe but in reality they probably wanted to preserve that feeling you get when you first go outside of your pod and look at the endless sea everywhere.

[@mephistophelicpierogi]

That peeper you found was cool, I didn't know they were around before end-game. And proud of you for exploring in the dark! Now with plasteel you will have the pleasure of going to even darker and scarier places. It'll be fun, honest!

[@Lycanthromancer1]

There is one kind of egg you absolutely do want to pick up when you find it. It's excessively rare and hard to find, and you'll want all of them if you can find them. Just look closely at any egg you find. If it looks back at you, pick it up and keep it.

[@dowahkin1852]

The reason behind not seeing the islands is because of progression If someone like you played the game for the first time and saw the island thats the first place they probably go. But the games story wouldn't make sense then so they hid them and waited for you to receive these audio lots to encourage you to explore a little bit more and find something you might not have expected for a underwater game.

[@LukaelPlays]

Oh I totally understand the gameplay reason!

[@JoshuaRichards2010]

@@LukaelPlays Well... given the alien tech in the islands with the portals having it shrouded is probably not far fetched. Islands can be hidden by atmospheric mist just naturally, and tweaking that a little bit to always make them hidden unless you go looking would not be a far stretch for whoever build the portals (I mean the QEP is pretty invincible but maybe they were afraid of a similarly advanced race happening upon it and blasting it from orbit? The Sunbeam did not notice it until they were on approach after all, and while not as advanced as this other species, we do have pretty handy sensors that can scan a debris field like Aurora despite being a simple trading vessel "out on the far side of the system") EDIT: The Aurora a) is burning and b) isn't being helped along with the mist by alien tech (potentially; I have no idea the actual canon reason, even after all this time & playing Early Access for years).

[@TasteTheWine.]

25:15 Seamonth's name can be Lukaelmoth

[@KaelKnight]

I do believe the islands are hidden by a layer of refracting fog. Because of the alien technology on them warps just enough water vapor to hide it from view from the outside. It would make logical sense since the only large thing without any alien technology is the Aurora. So you can see it from anywhere but the islands only when you get past a certain point. My reasoning is, if you stand on top of the pod and look towards either island. Then bring up your pda. You can see the hole where the refraction is. It's like looking at water through polarized lenses.

[@LukaelPlays]

Would make sense yeah!

[@Hobodeluxe007]

[@ShashwatSrivastava94]

The captain has uploaded! My dinner entertainment is sorted. Ps:- Good on you to get someone to skim through the comments for potential spoiler-y stuff. And as far as I've seen, a majority of comments have been helpful to your playthrough, while keeping the spoilers to a minimum. Sure, one or two extra detailed ones might fall through the cracks, but I think being a little more lenient towards the item based comments (as in important missed PDAs and such) is the best way to go about it. Really enjoying the series so far, my friend 🎉🎉

[@SystemBD]

The islands are clocked by some kind of field that refracts light in specific ways. Of course, it helps with the draw distance but it is something intended so I file this topic in the "I do not agree with this artistic decision, but I respect it".

[@ancatdal]

Captain, are you navigating using moving organisms? 😂❤ Thank the gods they don't let you actually lasercut you Seamoth 🤣 Huzzah, you finally found the plasteel, after grueling searching! I know that feeling of stupidity when you realise you "knew" all along 😂 Jellyrays and Reefbacks just calm me right down, what marvellous creatures ❤ "I don't see any new ressourc- IS THAT A RUBY??" 😂❤

[@TheRadikarAuthor]

An odd thought in regards to your intro: I wonder if the comments that are constantly going against your wishes of no spoilers and no backseating are skipping the intro entirely, thus never hearing the discussion. They're probably skipping right to where gameplay is occurring and thinking they're just trying to help without realizing it's the exact opposite of what a new player should experience.

[@IroAppe]

This specific PDA is the only thing that I would have maybe also written, but I kept back. The problem with Subnautica is, you miss that PDA, and you miss the whole Degasi storyline that you experienced this episode. It's nice that Subnautica does not force anything, but sometimes I think, if you can completely miss the best storyline of the game, that's also not good. A few more hints would have been good, or providing that PDA at a place where you find it 100% for the coordinates.

[@LoaRicardo]

I called my Seamoth Timóteo And my Cyclops was Mike Wazowski

[@KellyAODArt]

23:39 My personal favorite seamoth add-on was the storage because I hoard WAY too much and it meant I didn't have to go back and forth to my base as much lol. Although, the hull reinforcement did me wonders when I added it since I bumped into a lot of things 😅 50:00 Idk why it makes me laugh but you getting out of your vehicle just see lifepod 7 over the side of your seamoth couldn't have been more perfectly timed. What are the chances?! My subnautica home was built right where you were at 1:17:49! The jelly rays were my absolute favorite and I thought the mushroom forest area was just too cool. The little ravine was perfect b/c it meant I could leave my base easily (without running into a mushroom lol), and it was far enough away from the annoying little bone sharks and ampeels to not be attacked by them. The comfort the ray noise gives me is right up there with the tranquility you feel with the reefbacks. 😊 It's so fun to see where people build their bases and their reasoning. My husband kept his base right next to the lifepod like you do, and loved having it there for ease and comfort of the shallows and their abundant resources. Each of our homes are so unique and comforting in their own ways and I love the freedom we have to build where and how we want. 💙

Cargo expansion best expansion. I typically name my first Seamoth the Cargomoth with 3 cargo expansion and a depth module, heh. And when he looked at his 2 lockers, and said everything stored! Here I am with 2 large rooms stuffed with lockers, all organized, and still run out of space sometimes.

[@HannahG_x]

I think you're already doing the best option regarding comments. Having a mod go through them first should remove at least most of them and the biggest ones. Still annoying people can't help themselves but backseat/spoil even if with good intentions. Another option I've seen other KZbinrs do is record ahead in a game so spoilers or backseat comments are less relevant as you're a few hours ahead and likely found that out yourself already. This takes away from applying comments in real time but could be something to try? This is also best for when you're at the end of the game and people might spoil big end game plot twists or whatever, but you've already finished the game so it doesn't matter. Either way, enjoying the episodes 😊🐟🐠🌊

Personally my fav seamoth upgrades were the defense system (makes leviathan class species let go if they chomp you) and the sonar. You def need the sonar. At night or when youre in black depths where no sunlight reaches/with minimal light, its how you see. nothing like being in inky blackness, pinging your sonar and seeing it light up something large and moving in the distance 😅 Also recommend making the new dive suit asap. In your current one warpers can 2-shot you.

50:42 There were a few KZbinrs including Jacksepticeye and Markiplier who played during Early Access (Jack's 'Septic Sam' is also craftable). The dev has said that without them boosting the game's popularity they might not have had enough money to finish it.

Getting bullied by the bone sharks. But i guess you did enter their territory. And nothing wrong with the fear. I hate water, swimming, all of it, but managed to finish the game and its sequel and it felt great to finally conquer even if I moved slow during it. Sleeping through nights is fine, building a dozen mini-bases all over for safe spots is fine, a billion beacons marking everything is fine. A lot of the challenge in this game comes from conquering fears so just go at whatever pace is comfortable and you will get there. I was amazed by the end at how unbothered I was by things that were horrifying at the start. With every new fear faced, previous ones become easy.

Seamoth name idea: squishy boy. I know this sounds weird but turning off the lights will help when looking for PDAs. About 75% of people that play through this game miss lore around the abandoned areas so don’t feel too bad when you miss them. That’s not including areas with alien lore, just speaking about the Degassi crew.

[@danielhomant2832]

1:53:25 Lore that isn't a spoiler. Her asking for the Hardened Blade is actually a line from older versions of the game. Previously, there were 2 available blade upgrades at the modification station. 1 is the heat blade as we have now. The other was called a Hardened Blade that did more damage, but didn't cook the fish. I don't know why it was removed.

[@_kkwani863]

the thing with the islands is theyre kept invisible so people dont immediately head to land so the story can pace itself better. if the islands were always visible, new players would immediately try to go to them both since theyre the only landmarks besides the aurora, which you cant get to at first bc radiation. it wants to encourage people to explore on their own to discover them or the messages that mark their location rather than skipping the initial "oh shit i need to stay in the safe shallows because everywhere else is deep and scary". it does wonders for the experience imo, since you have to kind of force yourself to start going further and further out once you learn the environment, rather than trying to speedrun to the nearest landmarks you can see bc theyre above water/"safe". i know this is an older vid so maybe you changed your opinion since then, but i just thought it was funny since you mentioned game design re: landmarks in the same tangent 😅

Hey, I´m new to the channel since subnautica and just wanted to say i´m really enjoying your style of gameplay. You´re really curious trying to understand the world and storyline which i have not seen in many gameplays so far! I think it´s gonna make for a really rewarding experience for you too once everything unfolds. You have asked in a earlier epidose what the appeal of a blind playthrough is for someone who already knows the game and I would say it´s the search of that feeling expieriencing everything for the first time again. You can´t really delete your own memory but at least you can watch someone else get that feeling. On another note i would really enjoy you playing around with the alien containment unit in the next episode :)

I saw someone name their seamoth Appetizer after their first seamoth was eaten by a reaper :D The search for lifepod 7 is always a trip. Like, I know more or less where it is and still can't find it first try. Bone sharks are probably my least favorite things in this game. They're just so aggressive! I believe Markiplier played quite a bit when the game was in early access and brought a lot of attention for the creators, hence the doll. The in-game eclipses get even darker, sometimes. They're awesome but definitely not as amazing as the real-life one was (I was close enough to see the totality, it was amazing). Spadefish. They do an insane amount of damage if you hit them, for such a tiny fish. I love this game dearly, but I am never going to say it is free of glitches and hooboy do they get worse as you go. Good luck with that. I am eternally amused by how a locked door is impervious to lasers. I feel a little bad for the Degasi trio. Paul was a jerk and Maida was a bit careless and poor Bart had to deal with all of it. Maida is my favorite but she's still a bit of an idiot. CTO Yu is my second-favorite. Your habitat dome looks really cool from the outside at night. The game does a pretty good job of leaving enough breadcrumbs to follow without holding your hand. If all else fails, check the blueprints, check the data downloads, and try to go deeper :D A possible long-term suggestion? If people are desperate about telling you little bits that you overlooked, maybe in the last episode of actual gameplay (whenever that is) let them leave suggestions and do a follow-up wandering episode. If you want.

Hey mate! My partner and I are from Australia and got recommended your play through from a reddit post. All honesty, we have been having an absolute blast watching this series! I’m sorry that you’re receiving so many negative comments that either bring you down or spoil the game. We both love your play style and pace, it’s been hilarious watching you miss things in the game and extra satisfying when you finally come to the realisation of figuring stuff out. Don’t pay too much attention to anything negative being said on here because your content and editing has been extremely entertaining to us! It makes no sense that people are complaining about going back to previous saves when dying, as if the average player doesn’t do that on any game. What’s important is that YOU’RE enjoying the game and that you share that experience with everyone in the way that YOU want. Remember this is your channel. Can’t wait to see your channel grow because you deserve way more subs. looking forward to the next episode.

Damn, this is such a nice comment I could frame it! 😭 thank you so much for the kind words, I'm really happy I get to give you and your partner some entertainment! Oh wow, I didn't know people were recommending my stuff on reddit, that's so cool! Thank you guys for watching, I'm having a blast with this game and I look forward to playing more of it and sharing the experience with you all!

@@LukaelPlays Partner here! I was searching for a really down to earth Subnautica playthrough to watch together and you've been absolutely perfect. We both really love your wholesome vibes and it's been wonderful watching you learn about the lore. My partner is terrified of the ocean so he couldn't play for himself, so thank you very much for sharing your playthrough! It's been amazing to experience the game through your fresh perspective. Can't wait to see you grow!

I think you should start to plant inside and outside plants, especially from far away bioms, may be handy in the long run

[@TimAviciiBergling.]

every weekend I find myself over here xD love your videos! :>

[@tempestsylph]

A missed PDA outside the Degasi 500m habitat on the foundation outside. It was in your view so many times lol

[@saiyasha848]

One thing you might do is to have some dedicated Backtracking episodes. like, tell your audience that they should generally refrain from telling you stuff, even if you missed something and then at some point, maybe when you feel you've gotten a decent way through or so or maybe even when you feel you are nearing the end, you say : Okay, I'm gonna go back to many of the big loctions, if you have any info about stuff I definitly missed, tell me in the comments now, so that I know what to look for. maybe even show which entries you ahve in your PDA so that people don't need to go back through the hole series to check wether you found a specific PDA or Item

Glad to see the captain's hat returns! :)

[@kingabnus2983]

I think you wont have problem missing things since you edit your videos yourself, so the chance of noticing it while editing is pretty high , dont worry you are doing great I am a fan of this game and watched so many things related to it, waiting till you finish the series so i could give suggestions , thank you for taking time to read the comments too 🙏✨

[@LukaelPlays]

Definitely! it's happened countless times that I've noticed something I missed while editing my videos ahaha thank you!

[@chekote]

50:40 I’ve played through this game three times and I’ve never noticed that doll 😆

[@LukaelPlays]

Maybe they only added it later?

[@snorpenbass4196]

I named a Seamoth Flipper, the sub was Willy and the prawn suit was Ripley. The first two after movie whales, the last after a certain movie mech-suit pilot who nuked a site from orbit to be sure.

[@CrystalClear5617]

My cyclops is always called "the deep diamond" and i make it a deep dark blue color. Never actually named the prawn or moth 😅

[@eKko0]

call your seamoth the HMS Observation, in honour of your observation skills like the plasteel ingot situation :P

[@LukaelPlays]

😆😆

[@nmmoussa]

4:42 This clicking noise is from the shuttlebug, the brown passive creature with a large eye and three legs and three flippers. You can usually find these creatures inside caves. One is pretty close to your base 4:48

[@justgame1272]

15:48 The Islands are visible actually. The game just doesn't want you to see them when you start a new playthrough as it could be a potential spoiler ? However, look for thick clouds in the distance. The clouds are ment to "hide" the islands :) Edit: As for me, i always name my vehicles like the mars rovers; Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance Since it's an alien planet and those rovers are also not on earth

[@WojtekGoose]

Honestly the islands are probably invisible for like 3 reasons (one is more of a theory) 1. Wow factor where you find one (cuz if you could just see it, it wouldn't be as interesting) 2. Optimisation reasons - Subnautica already has a big pop-in problem on even highest settings and the island would probably look really really bad from far away + would lag. The islands would be the only case of you seeing something large and explorable from very far away. Aurora sure is exprorable but from far away you really see some kind of flat-like texture and the actual insides of Aurora only generate when you get closer. 3. This is that theoretical reason that really doesn't make sense but I guess suggestion of scale where the islands are way smaller in comparison to everything else so they can hide behind fog? Nonsensical but I thought about it so why not. I haven't really played Subnautica for a bit but I was sure the island fog was more dense. Maybe it's denser on higher graphic settings? Dunno

[@chekote]

15:09 An even better example is the planet/moon/sun. They are visible BEHIND the island that you cannot see. So yeah, don’t worry about logic. It’s a conceit designed to keep the island a mystery.

[@TPHRyan]

You gotta admit though, for such an immersive game it can break the immersion

[@chekote]

@@TPHRyan for sure

Seamoth name suggestion: Discovery

[@JoshuaRichards2010]

About the base using solar power first (click to read if you don't mind game mechanic sort of "spoiler") ... the base uses whichever power source was built first before sources built after, to my knowledge. Unless they changed this (it would make more sense to use renewables first but that logic isn't coded for, at least it wasn't last I knew).

[@JoshuaRichards2010]

ALSO (more mechanic spoilers): Solar panels come with their own energy storage, so yes, building more panels will increase your capacity. Honestly I really just wish they had kept the old Accumulator building that you could plug Power Cells into as it made more sense to have a main energy storage device / battery, but instead they simplified the gameplay so that every energy building has its own energy storage pool as well.
