There are several feature vital features that Subnautica desperately needs, and I feel now would be a good time to add them (the seamoth update just came out). Before the devs go and add awesome things like the exosuit these things need to be worked on.
In order of importance, here they are:
1- An options menu. For obvious reasons the game needs this soon, and I don't believe it is being worked on. Many of these things are in the launcher and need to be moved into the game.
The menu should include:
~Sound options for creatures (sometimes the reaper's roar gets a bit annoying), music and ambient.
~Video settings such as texture quality (like in the launcher), bloom and some things to improve performance on less powerful computers.
~Key binds and stuff (like in the launcher).
2- A death screen. It is confusing when you suddenly pop up in your life pod and are unsure what just happened. It should tell you that you did, in fact, die and if you lost items (the message is not very noticeable). This would also work well for hardcore mode.
3- Exit to main menu from pause menu. Just a quality of life thing that stops you having to restart the game when you want to play another save.
4- Rename Saves. i have too many saves and I don't know which is which. I have deleted one of my most played saves by accident. Another quality of life thing.
Hope this is helpful to the devs! These kind of things kind of get forgotten, so before you go ahead and add crazy epic stuff finish these features.

That was feature 3
Definitely needs to happen.
Escape to main, sound-music control, renaming saves, and a video section to turn off floating particles, bloom, and light beams, in the water on a permanent nature instead of each run using F3-F8 would be my first choice adds.
Indeed, things like this need to be addressed soon.
I think #2, the death screen is the most interesting. I would like a death camera, as many games have where I dramatically see the final seconds of my life replayed, such as being eaten, etc. Not only would it be clear what killed me, but it would just be very cool and immersive.
This in itself is a great idea, but I am sure that they will be working on all of these things, but being early access they have a lot of stuff to do before they focus on silly little things like death screens and options.
I am sure it won't be too long until they implement these things out of sheer need, but it seems a little pointless asking for these things, because no sane game developer would leave these things out of the final product.
