What am I missing?
Isn't it the equivalent to finding the device when it's already constructed?
The only difference being, that you need to back-tack to you're pod before you can use it.
The materials you collect, allow you to build equipment that isn't specific to one device. That made collecting them more rewarding.
Elements, such as Copper and Gold, are more valuable because they're used to build any device, as long as you have enough.
Just needs tweaks to make it work well
Provided that you have the necessary supplies. But if you have to find fragments, then you can only have a limited number of them.
Fabrication implies using parts that have been prepared in some way
Constructor Fragment and Seamoth Fragment, etc. all sound too specific. While the concept is a good implementation, I think you should label them better.
Like, for the fragments used to make the Seamoth and Cyclops, you could have them be the same fragment entity and call them 'Engine Part' or 'Engine Fragment' or something like that. If you wanted to separate them, you could have hard-to-find propellers lying around required solely for the cyclops. Anything so that the fragments aren't as generic.
Or like, 'Refined Metal' for the constructor that you could also use later on down the line for something else. Often times you'll find many of the same fragments, (sometimes many grouped together) but you only need one, after that, any fragments of that type are useless for the rest of the game.
Other than that, great update! I've heard of people talking about finding Mesmers, still have yet to see one if they actually are implemented, but I'm still looking.
And,yes ssomeone recently posted an idea 8n another thread identical to Lyes, which I think would greatly improve the game
Finding 4 constructor fragments is frusterating to say the least
Ah yes, I just saw that after I posted this.
I guess it's just the general consensus. Anything really to get rid of all those white boxes lying around.
That being said, I'd love to see a sort of instruction manual/tutorial telling you that you have to find the fragments, I spent about half an hour trying to figure out how to craft them
This isn't dark souls where its OK to not have a super in dePTH tutorial because dark souls is frankly simple in its mechanics, whereas subnautica just isn't
Then again I hate big turorials lol
Perhaps it would make sense if you wanted to limit the number of Fabricators that you can make,
but it feels as if we've lost our freedom to create what we want.
