    uh...... not to hate, but why did you make a forum post about this? <.<

    Probably because since the start of subnautica this is the biggest update yet (i think)
    and people want to talk about it :)

    EDIT: Only 3 days now

    I hate to be that guy but the devs aren't known to be very exact with the release dates and Obraxis has already alluded to that the update will take a few days more than they anticipated.

    They did say that it was locked in for the coming week, but anything can happen, so patience is necessary, you don't want to end up like this guy at the end:

    (read the first guys sentence as 'we all have three more days of delay') :tongue:

    Experimental is updated daily. It gets EVERYTHING in our next update, because it's our Live development build. Very buggy mess until near patch date, as this is what we're working on.

    Steam regular version (Stable) gets updates once a month (on average). This is the update we're talking about.

    In short, if you want to experience the updates in nice big stable releases, don't switch to experimental.

    I don't mean to be rude but what you just said makes no sense to me. Can you clarify? If experimental is daily and stable is monthly then the daily has been up to date the whole time. Why would the saves be no good? and just to stop the possible knee jerk reaction. I know in experimental I will lose my saves and I have not one bit of an issue with that. Thanks

    You get the warning if the map data changes. This will happen much more often in experimental than in stable. If the game has newer map data than your save, then you can still play it but it will use the map from your save, not the game -- which means you'll be missing some new content.

    When the stable update does hit, everyone in current stable will get the same warning. Those playing experimental will have had the warning many times over the same period.

    Short version: play stable if you want updates roughly once a month which are relatively bug-free. Play experimental if you want daily (or even more frequent) updates which are a preview of things to come but might explode and burn down your submarines at any given moment.

    Thanks for the clarification. I did not know that stable versions would lose saves too when there is an update. As for the submarines exploding and burning down I have to say I have bumped and slammed my cyclops into every rock and underwater beast I could and that thing runs like a champ. I almost wish they would make it a little more sensitive, but I digress :-) .

    Nice, I will also have some more time next weekend, turned out good timing for me. I don't care if old saves would work, I would star over anyway, the whole point of the game would be lost for me if you have your base and everything. My only question is why are the saves so big? Are devs working on that maybe?

    That because the terrain is terraformable. You can dig up the sand and can even destroy rock by ramming into it with the seamoth. All potential changes need to be saved, so that's where the size comes from.
    They are indeed working on that. Terraforming will be completely removed in the future, mostly for performance issues (loading times, stuff popping in, stuttering,...).

    I knew you can dig sand but not terraform, my save is still quite big even though i didnt terraform much except making a base. It would be fine for me if they removed it. I've seen post that terraformer is being removed next update is that true anyone knows?

    If terraforming is removed (terraformer already removed in experimental but terrain deformation not already), will the map load faster ? I want to say less lag when you move.

    Never did. I like to play the portion of the game that's nearly done instead of dealing with bugs. After all, it's not the Spaceballs that are making the game (The Spaceballs and their Instant Video Cassettes... which come out before the movie is finished)...

    Well... at least our logic circuits didn't fry like Dark Helmet's did when he went through that scene.

    Though I bet some players would love to just go into Steam and find the update right there.

    Starts at 1:30 unless you want to watch the entire clip. :)


    And now I'm curious... do the Devs have a Mr. Coffee in their office? And will we end up getting one that works for our sea base?
