suggestion- how about some gastropods and some bivalves.

look there have been periods in the earths history when critters look all sorts of ways. Ordovician era critters had lots of soft body plans. I love the fish already but this is a really limited menu displayed. grand reef IMO should have vastly more variety . stretch out the peeper and put the eyes on the end of a stalk, make a version of the spade fish sand colored.

however in the year i have played i think adding more types of critters would be good. maybe an art contest for a few new fish types. they dont even need to be catch-able they just need to fill the niches and be present. thanks for the hard work.

I find that invertebrate fauna in subnautica is a wee bit lacking, considering how much diversity can occur without any vertebrate life at all (case in point- the ordovician and cambrian periods, before vertebrate life really blossomed). So far the only invertebrates we have are: cave crawler, crabsquid, crabsnake(?), mesmer(?), jellyray, lava larvae, rock grubs, shuttlebugs(?), and floaters (of course none of these are certain, because we don't really know the exact internals of most of these creatures- but please point out any invertebrates I may have missed). Note that most of these appear to be arthropods as well- pretty slim variety for invertebrates.

Another thing to acknowledge too is that the game can only handle so many creatures- which is why the devs have re-used shallow-water creatures like the boomerang or spadefish in deeper waters. However, I do agree that relatively simple molluscs or other invertebrates would do a great deal to spice up biomes like the grand reef- even if they end up being only asthetic (sort of like the rock grub).

Racer1

I completely agree. I've thought that even if the "small" animals/invertebrates were added with no interactive-ability, it would add to the feel of the game significantly.

If performance is an issue, those species could be shown in limited cases/numbers, and ramped up on more powerful systems.

There should be more small creatures in Subnautica.

I also think the current fish spawns should be made more biome specific, too many creatures are shared between biomes.
