It sucks when you buy an Early Access game and then hear nothing from the developer. When's the next update? What's included? What are you working on? At Unknown World we are trying to make sure you can get answers whenever you want.
This guide explains how to get information about what the Subnautica development team is working on right now, how updates are delivered, how often they come, and what's changing in the game from day to day:

it does seem to be updating again, there was a gap of around 4 or 5 days where there were no updates but there were still patches.
I was fine with Kerbal Space Program's developers never setting deadlines for patches and stating "it will be done when it is done". Their reasoning behind this is that they never have to worry about rushing to meet a deadline and then having to release a half a dozen patches to fix it to the point where it should have been to begin with.
This way, there is always quality work being done, not rush jobs just to meet deadlines, and every patch is a surprise when it comes out.
I think you misunderstand my meaning, I am not pushing for updates or timelines, I was concerned that several patches happenned on steam but I had no idea what they changed as the checkin didnt update.
And UI know ALL about KSP, I was one of the original 10 people who helped to put content together for the official streaming groups called KSPTV. I had to drop out early into the shows beginnings but I still play quite a bit, even stream it sometimes!
AH! ok, then that would explain it. gotte love it when you are hyped for updates to a game, that you bug the devs when they dont tell you what went into it XD
Chest-like container called the "Supply crate" It keeps spawning things like terraformers and seaglides. I Found the thing while getting REALLY close to the ship (I turned off radiation) and FOUND IT. NOT To mention, The island looks like it had a building on it, but was weathered away by water. It is really cool
exploration is exciting.
What really would be a good thing was an option to get back to menu or loading soon. Kinda annoying to always have to go to Desktop and restart the game when there is a really bad Bug (experimental ). With a loading option it would be more comfortable to try to recreate the Bug so you can give a better Bug Report.
Hi Dev Team !
Here's just a list of feedback ideas for the next update (Those in bold should be given maximum priority) :
I might add more ideas to this comment, so please consult it regularly.
Speaking of multiplayer, is the 4-person co op referenced by a dev back in January still a possibility? I've been rooting around online to find info on it, and all I see are people pining for it, but I can't find any recent follow up on the subject from the devs. Does that mean it's off the table, or does the idea still have legs under it? Thank you in advance for any response.
Edit: I just found this sticky on the steam page, my bad:

Take two sticky floaty balls and one beacon. Put them in the fabricator to create a sticky beacon.
I assume so you can have a beacon that would move with whatever you stuck it to, such as a Reefback or, if one were to survive, a Reaper.
I take it you have never heard of Unknown Worlds previous game Natural Selection 2? That is the alien hive, where alien creatures spawn from at the beginning of the game. If does look quite good floating in water though. With some adjustments might make a good shrimp-like creature..
they come from ns2 so i doubt the devs will add them in the game its suppose to be something they made for fun so yeah sorry to dissapoint
