A few ideas

marios

First off, I love Subnautica.
After quite a few hours, dozens of games played, I would like to post a few ideas I think may improve the game. Some of these were already suggested, bear with me.

• Hud Revamp: current HUD needs some love. While too many information may hinder immersion, I believe we need some more details to be displayed:
  • Speed while in water: it's needed to compare different outfits (fins/tank number and type)
  • Compass upgrade: we should be able to upgrade the compass to show the coordinates (lat/long) we are at
  • Wrist computer: a nice addition may be a wrist computer that can display data not directly on the hud. For example, max speed with current outfit, current strength and direction (see below), a basic compass (that everyone can use right from the start), date and time (could avoid the "night time approaches" message), eventually dive computer data if there will ever be a "realistic diving mode" with saturation, depth stops planning etc (oh, I would love this)
• PDA
  • add a "notes" section where we can write into
  • some kind of mapping that fills as we explore with the possibility to add POIs
• World simulation:
  • implement natural currents following day/night cycle (weak, strong, very strong), these would affect you a lot if diving normally, less in a seamoth
  • make day/night cycle slower (2x compared to existing implementation)
  • Swim burst ability: add possibility to burst while swimming (RMB when nothing equipped), consuming a lot more O2
• Building:
  • make "green" positions snap more easily compared to "red" (invalid) positions
  • fuel cell recharge station: used fuel cells go in inventory as depleted fc (already suggested by many)
  • more models for base: cosmetic stuff (like tables, desks, bed, chairs...)
  • easier way to see base stats (integrity level, recharge speed...) maybe add a "base contol panel" to build?

That's it for now. I tried not to be too long with descriptions, but feel free to ask and discuss.

Thats something ive seen frequently asked about, some sort of control room/panel where we can see/monitor infos on the base as well as control the flow of power as to what goes where (ex: being able to shut lights off if power is running out). its also true that we need way more stuff to create like furniture.

also, we really need to be given access to the PDA while inside the seamoth, thats a must imo
