Good evening!

I have to say, I'm having a blast with this game right now. I've had it for a few days, now, and I've done pretty well. Recently I've started doing Hardcore games. It's a bit tougher, but well worth the challenge. And I just lost my most recent game.

Stupid death, too, really... had the Seamoth out, with the very first suite of upgrades I've done, and I went a little too far from it and drowned. Was too busy grabbing lots and lots of lithium I didn't really need.

Ah well. Such is life!

I'm going to do another round, though this time I think I'm going to proliferate the bases a little. Spread out, have a bigger footprint.

But anyway. Just wanted to say hello, and Good Game, Devs!

    Damnit @Whackjob, I came in here expecting a spambot (they tend to use titles as such :D ). Instead I find this awesome yet sad story about someone who just wanted to get more stuffs for his empire of the watery lands of Subnautica and died trying!

    Welcome and good to hear peeps having fun ina game that's not even finished yet. Hardcore mode, doesn't that also remove that oxigin 30/10s warning? That probably is what got ya :tongue:

    Nice to hear, Whackjob!
    Don't worry too much about that death, it happens to the most of us. Well, it happens a lot to me. I'm too greedy with the scrap metal.

    '' Warning, 30 seconds of oxygen remaining '' Boy, is that voice irritating after awhile.

    Until you start playing Hardcore mode. It then becomes the thing you miss the most :D

    Another hardcore survival match, another death. This time trying to fetch some crystal out of an active volcanic vent. Hah!

    I take the dwarf fortress approach, here... losing is fun. And educational.

    ... I got an experiment to do... suddenly, I has an idea.

    Welcome aboard! Sounds like you're having a blast and Subnautica's 'fishbowl' is definitely one you can spend hours challenging yourself against the elements and all sorts of really scary creatures. :)

    I appreciate the dwarf fortress reference. It took me soooo many months and tries to finally figure it out. Much head-to-desk banging at the frustrating UI - but I finally got it! That game is so amazingly hilarious and deep once you get over the terrible interface.

    Playing Subnautica on hardcore has to be a fun change of pace, haha.
