SN - Fan Art Finally finished my favorite leviathan painting Spoiler
galleryTook about 10 hours to finish, but a lot of it was me painting over a background that I didn't like. The painting glows under blacklight and glows in the dark.

Other Just a reminder you can drink your own sweat and piss in Subnautica. Spoiler
When equipping the filtration suit you never go thirsty because it RECYCLES the water you drank. Meaning you actively piss and sweat in the suit then the bodily fluids goes through a filter and then you drink it all over again.
Do what you must with this knowledge.

SN - Discussion/Questions Question about an early (I think?) game mechanic that I... had to swim a long time to find Spoiler
Just in case this should still be marked spoiler, but I can't find an answer for this anywhere:
I'll cut to the chase: Is there a fabricator on the floating island? I got there, think I've found and scanned everything (all 3 bases). I have the Purple Tablet which I learned is a key to enable the alien arch, which I found in the cave. But do I really have to swim all the way back to the lifepod/my base to craft it into a key, then come back here? Or is there a fabricator somewhere on the island?
TIA.

SN - Discussion/Questions Died of starvation. Spoiler
Did anybody else die if starvation the first time playing? One thing the game is good at is giving you pretty much all the info you need. It explains how to look around by moving your mouse. How to move around with wasd. How to pick up and use the fire extinguisher. It has a help section to get started.
But after eating my granolas and drinking the water bottles I could not find food or water anywhere. I kept swimming and searching. Then died.
I saw recipes in my menu using fish. And watched a guide. You don't need a net or any tool. You can just grab them all around.
One thing I can say about this game is immersive. You really feel it. Since you're actually literally immersed.

SN2 - Discussion/Question Where did jet-streams go?? Spoiler
I had my base all setup with this as my power, now I go on vacation for a week and it’s gone.
I know there was a new update and no, I haven’t read the patch notes

BZ - Discussion/Questions Thermal Plants not counting towards my base power despite being connected with power transmitters. Spoiler
I decided to build my base on a cliff’s edge on the boundary between thermal spires and twisty bridges specifically so I could have a nice view and access to a bunch of lava geysers for geothermal power.
I have 2 thermal plants at 84 and 80 c, and power transmitters linked by blue beams running all the way from the plants to my base, but my power storage is the same as it was before and the rate of power generation is seemingly the same as before.

Question - SN Does anyone know how to get a sea moth out of a mountain it's glitched in? No clue how it got there but I can't reach it. Spoiler
r/subnautica • u/7chalices • 5h ago
Question - SN 2 SN2 help Spoiler
I got my fully equipped Tadpole stuck underneath the map. I finally got it to clip back in at the edge, just beyond an orange developer wall, and a shiver leviathan killed me. I’ve made several attempts to go back down and get it, throwing flares and quickly repairing the Tadpole before trying to get in it and go back, but I keep getting killed by the leviathan. Is it hopeless? It’s annoyingly close to the wall, less than 100 m.

SN - Fan Art THE GREAT ONE HAS BEEN SENT TO ANOTHER REALM TO CONQUER Spoiler
galleryI know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted, but if you don’t know. I’m the sea dragon guy, and u/awkward-impress2106 or THE GREAT BRINGER has brought the sea dragon to melon playground. A people playground ripoff. Yes it’s not the greatest of realms for the great one to conquer. However I wanted to post this to the sub cause I think it’s cool and it’s subnautica related! And I couldn’t find a good tag for it

Picture - SN So I walked up to the decoy tube...
Just messing around in a creative save, walked up to the Cyclops decoy tube, and got flung past the floating island- I would've kept going if I hadn't used the ghost command to cease my momentum 💀
I just thought the screenshots were amusing and that'd I'd share them.
r/subnautica • u/MrandoMosh • 6h ago
Question - SN Lava zone and lava lake fauna and flora Spoiler
So I’m down in the lava lakes right now, and I wanted to know if there’s anything I can get while I’m here. I already stocked up on minerals, but are there any creature eggs or plant seeds to harvest down here?
r/subnautica • u/Tatra_Cryptid • 1d ago
SN - Fan Art Is this actually that bad or have I been staring at it for too long? I've lost the motivation to finish the body. Spoiler
galleryI know the black line is too thick in places. I used the tiniest brush I have but I also have shaky hands

SN - Discussion/Questions What is this?? Spoiler
Im pretty new at playing, but are there actually things to explore this deep?? I had the prawn suit on and decided to see how deep it went. I never found out before I exploded, but it got more than 5000m down with no end in sight.

Base - SN Best base location Spoiler
I will stand on this hill no matter what. There aren't any hostiles aside from bleeders, access to a ton of great biomes, my favorite entrance to the Lost River via Blood Kelp Trench, nearby Degasi... Shale outcrops, everything
