Some Suggestions and Feedback

Scyphoza

Im going to start with the fact that i love this game and you guys do great work. That being said here are some suggestions based on what ive played so far.

1. Let us dismantle the escape pod once a fabricator has been built elsewhere.
2. Alternatively let us integrate the escape pod into a nearby multipurpose room so its part of a base and not free floating anymore. Maybe a control panel can be built that lets us slowly move it and "dock" it to the top of a multipurpose room above a certain depth level.
3. Some sort of staircase to spiral around the edge of multilevel Alien containment tanks.
4. Glass variants of X and T corridors.
5. Some way to turn sand into glass at a slow and continuous pace. Maybe a glass furnace or something to put above sand. I tend to burn through glass fast with all the alien containment and windows i build. I love me some glass structures.
6. Porthole windows for T section corridors.
7. Battery powered Helmet Lamp.
8. Whirlpools that can suck a player below safe depths. Think of how terrifying that would be to be sucked down into the ocean and not get back up before your air ran out.
9. Possibly a whirlpool biome with numerous whirlpools sucking down into some type of cavern system.
10. A mobile biome the size of the island that's a living creature. With parasites and whatnot inside it.
11. The ability to punch things if no tool is equipped. I want to fistfight a reaper leviathan.

Cool ideas. I really like number 11, fistfighting a predator would be awesome! But number 10 is also really cool, a massive creature with fauna and flora on its back would be terrifying and amazing!

@Nautical_Nick U mean like this?

Hey. More than a new creature, i would like them to improve the reefback, the only giant pacifist creature we have. Currently we have this :



That's a nice creature that i love. But the fact is that it looks unfinished, and i would say a bit ugly.

And we could have this :



This is from Subnautica concept art. As you can see the reefback is like a ecosystem of his own, with flora on his back and fish surrounding him. He looks majestic.

But i doubt they could do that. On their roadmap, i have seen this trello card :



So i'm a little afraid for my beloved purple whale. Will the reefback stay in his current state till the end of times or will they find the time to work around it ?

I hope it will be the latter.

Scyphoza

Yeah something like that. Massive with its own creatures and plants.
Thinking about what you posted they could make it so the Reefbacks are the children and full sized ones are the large islands.

@Scyphoza I also wanted that with the reefback some time ago. It also fits its name quite well.

Scyphoza

lol you posted righht when i edited my post but yeah Reefbacks could be larger or make the current ones the child forms of the larger types.

In mixed feelings about that... idk.

In most survival based games people expect there to be a multiplayer and single player mode. This is almost mandatory in a game like this. I personally bought this game having little background information( I hoped I could play with my friends). I was ultimately disappointed that the game was without this feature. I understand it is hard to integrate this because the creators skipped it. This is in my opinion a dumb move. We need multiplayer more than more creatures at this point. Please start working on it now so you can at least have it in a few months. I'd guess more people would buy the game if so. I know all my friends would.

Now enough multiplayer. I've had adventures out into the deep in this game. I usually keep my seamoth close for oxygen. It just happened that the robot lady said that I had 30 seconds left. When this happened I looked up and around with nothing to be found...
I was screwed. I could not find my seamoth and I was far to deep to get any oxygen. After about 29 seconds of squirming and panicking I saw it right next to me the entire time. There was no signal at all. I would ask that the sea moth light up maybe at night a bit, cause if you are close to it enough for there to be no signal, GG.

@Darwin-Evolution The current reefbacks could also be the runts that didn't get enough of whatever they needed to grow to a full size. If they ever added one they could make lore saying its unusual for one to grow to island size due to a lack of resources for more than one per area to get that big.
