I was wondering if you guys had thought about doing something else with the sky. To make it feel more alien It almost feels like you could be on the earth. It would be cool to see a gas giant in the sky or a few moons some nebula or something to just make you really feel like your on another planet. Without diving down and seeing the life under the water. Let me say, the first time I played I was kinda scared to jump in the water. Didn't know what was down there. As it probably would be if you crashed on an alien ocean planet.

I was wondering if you guys are planning on putting other weather effects in the game?

BlitzHayato · March 2015

Love that Idea. Maybe not change the color of the sky too terribly, I like the bright blue color. However, night time needs an overhaul with the sky. make it feel less like home.

Monarky · April 2015

Yeah I Agree. You just wouldnt know it wasent earth unless you jumped into the water. Standing on the drop pod you would think you was just out in the Pacific Ocean or something.

All planets have stars in the sky at night.. no matter where they are. I'd like to see configurations of stars that didn't occur on earth, maybe an Eastern Twin Star.. or two moons a binary sun.. stuff like that.

Maybe some contrails in the sky from the massive crashed ship that entered the planets atmosphere that drifts away and dissolves

i was thinking about SN-concept of non-lethal weapons. This is what i came up with: a Gun that can fire anykind of round object scavenged from the ocean, like floaters, crash-fish or Gasopod-Granades (u need to craft them) which is the second idea!

- floater-ammo will stick to surfaces and enemies render them harmless and slowly float them to the surface (would be awesome to use on big predators)
- crash will explode and stun enemies AoE (they dont kill, maybe small fish)
- gasopod-granades will cloud the area hit and blind enemies caught in the AoE

how about seaweed that grabs you and holds you till you run out of air use knife to free yourself

BillytheSquig · April 2015

personal bouyancy looks a little unrealistic, what about a suit upgrade that inflates like a fat suit, then when it deflates possibly having the character ask himself " was it something I ate?"

BillytheSquig · April 2015

Stalkers are great, but they dont live up to the name, though they might with one addition, chromatophores! make em able to turn invisible or blend in so they can "stalk you" or do it for bladderfish as a natural defence,

upgradeable HUD go from diver's slate to holographic projector on wrist gauntlet to HUD built into the mask complete with "scanners" for initial info concerning hazards ie: poison in water, radiation, something ate your leg....

different breeds of Crash-fish like a pufferfish except the spines shoot out and stick in you

Squidlike creatures that feed on electricity (follow the electric fish you just finished) that latch onto your constructions/vehicles and slowly drain power (remove with my next suggestion)

Tazer animal deterrant zap the buggers, they live you dont get eaten, good for stunning dinner too (made from electric fish drops)

also could come in poison too, from the poison pod cow manatee things
more to come

BillytheSquig · April 2015

Wrist gauntlet hand multitool complete with : flashlight, Mini impact hammer (looks like a small jackhammer seems better than clicking the rocks and using your psychic powers to get minerals) upgradeable and opens space in the inventory use a knife till you can make the mini cutter saw/torch re loadable gasopod venom tanks for deterring predators and holographic display projectors, thousands of potential uses, including, and I think your boss will like this, sensors in the gloves for object analysis, hold down the button longer for better readout it gets more info the longer you touch it

BillytheSquig · April 2015

first aid tanks for injury, you step in all banged up it fills up with fluid and nanites repair you in moments good for an infirmary in the bases, also a kitchen with a device for making food recipes with different results on your health/hydration (eating just fish all the time gets boring for anyone)

BillytheSquig · April 2015

also look into how the humboldt squid communicate through bioelectric flashes I think it could add to the game

BillytheSquig · April 2015

here's a video about it from a cuttlefish

BillytheSquig · April 2015

humans arent the only thing the mesmerizer fish could hypnotize, how bout a rock lobster minion that defends them

BillytheSquig · April 2015

flora ideas: eyestalk plants that look at you (creepy AND alien) barnacles eyes, singing Crystals (they hum when you get close) flashing corals or plants that light up in different colors, a sponge that changes shapes like a topiary to mimic passing wildlife ( get close and look at it it makes itself look vaguely human shaped) eyes on the ends of vinelike seaweed that follow you as you swim by, coral that spits small flames or seaweed that snaps at you with mouth on the end, underwater fruit trees, roots you have to dig up but are edible

Shovel_Fighter · April 2015

i wrote a while ago, that i had the feeling SN could need some more really unique places.
there is a stonehenge somewhere, dont know if it's a easter egg but i like the idea of having something SPECIAL to discover.

like something frozen in the ice of the ice-biome coming up anytime in the future or a giant skeleton of a dead seacreature! like a really really big one!!!

this is my sketch showing a dead Sea-Emperor-Alpha! The Idea ist that the Tusks are growing more large the older the Emperor becomes! And in case of this Alpha they grow to an enormous sice showing his great age!

tarek · April 2015

yes a more interesting sky box is needed

Shovel_Fighter · April 2015

@tarek so true! there are many people on the forum that state the same. Most of them are hoping for something like a weather-system including things like rain, fog, storms and so on...

Bugzapper · April 2015

Hmm... It appears that The Cake has been served after all.

Well played, Gentlemen. Well played.

SPIRIN1224 · April 2015

Hello, I am to posting on a forum so bear with me. I would absolutely LOVE more submarines. I'm talking about different subs for different preferences, like a HUGE one for Base maneuvers and so big that you could dock the Cyclops in it. Sub can vary as to terms with exploration, speed, One could have a arm grappler and being able to DECK OUT every one of them with colors and fonts. THE ABILITY TO NAME BASES and DOCK SUBS WITH BASES, would be awesome. I trust the debs in doing things like this and also to big time come out WITH A MAC VERSION. MAC VERSION. MAC VERSION. MAC VERSION. (Minor Sidenote) The ability to close doors on subs and with docks and in bases.

SPIRIN1224 · April 2015

Well guys here is prophecy fulfilled above^^^^^^

Thanks DEVS!!!

why disagrees?

mac version mac version, hey look a mac version!!!

Yay

no ok

haha lol sand dirt cake coming right up

Lagiacrus · April 2015

I'd love it if the fabricator menu was changed! I get so tired of having to keep one of every craft item on me, just to see what I can make! It would be much better if the whole fabricator worked like the food area; once you find it, then it's there, period.

P.s. I hope there are some deep DEEP creatures added soon.

Yea they are aware of the fabricator 'losing' your discovered recipes upon save/load. They have been working a lot with saving/loading in general so hopefully it is something they will cure. It is frustrating for sure!

I can't wait for more diversity in general, and in particular actually studying/catching fauna!

Needs work, but I do like it. The Impact Hammer should be a separate tool, along with the Cutter Torch and Rotary Saw. The gasopod thing is confusing :P, I do however like the Hologram Projector idea and the Personal Scanner. But, there is one thing that could also be useful. A small set of copper wiring embedded in the gloves can stun fish with a small directed arc pulse.

I personally hope for some kind of diversity in species as well as genetic deformities or something, "oh shit that stalker has 2 heads" is something id love to be able to say, then being able to capture it and keep it on display would be a dream come true. or "What the hell! did that bone shark just spit something at me" this would allow for a larger diversity without needing to make more models. then if you capture that bone shark and run tests on it you'll find that it was born with poison glands as well as the probability of a bone shark being a carrier of the gene, this would open up breeding and cross species genetics so i could make a a two headed bone stalker that spits irritating poison, for use as my own personal deep sea body guard. (poison is non lethal when used on you and used on other creatures, simply a deterrent).

They actually are working on a gene splicer of sorts, so its very possible you can get your wish.
I'd really like to see a deep sea diver. Not huge, but enough size to be able to not get obliterated by the future creatures down there. it just would seem odd to me not to have one, considering the more late game materials/mobs are down below 200 meters, where only a player can swim through with limited oxygen.
For bases, I'd really enjoy a generator room so that my Power generator isn't sitting outside, on a weird angle, completely exposed. It just screams "you're doing it wrong" to me. Also, i think a main corridor/hub for your base would be excellent, rather than dividing everything up by hallway to hallway. And maybe a cosmetic anchor for the Cyclops?

ClassyCat2 · April 2015

I find it would be very cool if they added new flora and creatures that are very big. It would add to that ambiance when in the deep ocean.I would also like to see more things to put inside the sea bases. I had made a very big sea base, but found my self just having an abundance of space. It would be pretty neat if there were like docking bays that act like a hatch. It would go on the side and you would scoot your Seamoth up to it and it'd play a little animation and puts the player into the base and keeps the Seamoth there.It would be cool if you could build a garage type thing for the Cyclops too. I would also like to see more vehicles like some sort of battle vehicles to fight the new creatures or have a vehicle that collects DNA. It would be the best if there was co-op as my friend is a big fan of co-op games and he likes this game but he wishes we could play together. It would be pretty neat if there was an end to the game where you could repair the Aurora and fly home. I have seen people play the game like GenerikB yet I do not have it myself.

Icehockeyplyr · April 2015

I had a thought for Survival. Maybe fishing nets or trap that we could place on the bottom, to help automate the food process. Along with an Item that salt deposits grow on. Also items that Stack please.

aronuk · May 2015

me and my friends would really love to play with each others in some sort of co-op or multiplayer
