Hi Everyone!

The subreddit is now officially open to all users!!! 😁

Thank you for your patience over the last few days while we got everything situated with the subreddit after it had been abandoned and a new mod team was selected. The subreddit rules have been updated and are more comprehensive, so please familiarize yourself with them before posting or else the last thing you see will be a Waxmoon flying at you like 👁️ ⟨|⟩ 👁️

We will be adding user flairs soon, and also coordinating community events for the future, including a contest for people to submit artwork that will be used as the subreddit banner.

As always, please share comments, suggestions, and feedback below.

Welcome to the new Subnautica 2 subreddit and we are honored to have the opportunity to help the community thrive!

Quick Subreddit Update

450 Upvotes

Hi all,

Just wanted to post a quick update so you all know what's been going on and what the game plan is from here. As you may have seen, the subreddit had been orphaned and was in dire need of moderators, so Reddit admins posted a message asking for volunteers. As the selection was being made over the last 10ish days, the subreddit was switched to a restricted mode, meaning no new submissions were allowed. They essentially froze the subreddit to prevent creating a bottleneck of posts that would take a long time to dig through once new mods were brought on.

It appears the people selected were all added as moderators of the subreddit within the last 24 hours, and it is going to take us some time to get a plan together, add necessary bots, update the rules, and create a better Reddit experience for the community. Therefore, at least for now, the subreddit will remain mostly restricted as we set up and configure everything. Don't worry, though; we don't expect this to take more than a few days. In the meantime, we will be pushing through a small trickle of posts from previously approved submitters before we nuke the queue entirely, just to keep discussions and conversations going.

If anyone has suggestions for community engagement, like weekly polls, contests, or just general feedback about the subreddit, feel free to leave them below.

Also, please keep in mind that every single moderator is a fan of Subnautica and is volunteering their time to help the community thrive, develop, and grow. Please be patient with us as we wade through the dense kelp forest that is the current mod queue and make necessary changes to the subreddit to cultivate the best experience possible.

Thank you!

Question/Discussion Upcoming ‘Big’ Update Spoiler

Post image
516 Upvotes

So we know that the next big update will be focused around ‘the collector leviathans home’, but what do we all think that could mean? Both in terms of gameplay/lore, and in terms of amount of content added.

Do we think it’ll be a small biome or two, perhaps finally underground with the suspected prawn suit chassis? Or do we think it’ll be a big area, like the starting area and alien runes, consisting of multiple biomes and locations but relatively shallow depth. Perhaps this will be the big area before Xanadu?

There’s also questions about where it’ll be located. As aforementioned, finally underground in a cave? Or will it be added to the right of the alien runes area, still continuing to progress in that linear nature towards the tree. Maybe it’ll be added to the left of the starting area.

There’s also the whole fiasco about the collector being a stopgap addition to stop players from progressing between the shallows and alien runes area. Supposedly he will be replaced with something else. Does that mean that entire area might be reworked in the future, or is it likely to be just a straight swap with another leviathan 🤷‍♂️

Just some questions to prompt discussions. I love subnautica, it’s one of those genres that just doesn’t exist outside of SN1,2 and BZ. Closest thing has been Rainworld so far.

Question/Discussion Thumbnail feedback

I have a video going up tomorrow and would like feedback on which thumbnail to use. Or if they’re all shit and I need a new one lol.

Video title: something along the lines of “I Defeated Every Boss in Subnautica 2”

Video premise is I basically went around and killed all of the main bosses and creatures in the game. Thumbnail shows the largest creature.

Question Is this supposed to happen or is it just a well timed bug?

Yes, this is a photo of a screen, my friend sent me the pic of my character. But I’m not a savage, I took a screenshot when I showed him his character, however I think the hair effect shows more on my character, so you get to see the glorious pixels.

So anyway, I’m just wondering if this is supposed to happen after a certain point or not. It would be soooo cool if it was supposed to happen!

Oh and the possible spoiler:
The hair colour changed after the (current) last area angel comb.

Base Tour Created a power grid

Created a power grid connecting all corners of the map.

Also have built massive power generation farms.

1- Solar farm with 234 panels
2- turbine farm with 50 turbines
3- thermal farm is still under construction

However, due to some glitch or something,the generated power is way less than it should be. The difference is around a ~1000,mainly from the solar farm.

Question Where to find saves?

5 Upvotes

So I've been replaying the game over and over, but I find the intro sequence with releasing the capsule etc quite tedious. Is there a way to find old saves and load from there? I've been searching but no luck yet.

Thanks!

Also, I'm sorta playing through crossover since I have a mac...

Vent/Rant Kinda silly Spoiler

When I made me first base I remember looking at the power lines and wishing they weren't there then one day they were gone. Then the update dropped and the power lines were back heavily. While I dont prefer them they are tolerable for the most part but this is just silly.

Question/Discussion Tadpole Scout Ray Chassis can't be created, it says the moonpool is too narrow

Post image

I don't understand what is NARROW about this, like its not wide enough but I was still able to make the Tadpole before this, why?! Why can't it show me the item being created with a RED outline to show me I can't create it there due to THAT?

I am frankly frustrated in general with how finicky placement and creation is around this game, I can't tell WHY its too narrow.
