Mixed Biomes

I kinda dislike that the Subnautica world just goes deeper and deeper as long as we explore furthur, without ever being lighter/shallower again.

This is why i find those late biomes like Grand Reef/Lost River/Lava Zone a bit boring and less interesting compared to early biomes, although those late biomes look just stunning. (also considering they are WIP)

Only biomes which provide such experiences like Deep-Shallow-Deep-Shallow are early biomes such as Safe Shallow-Kelp Forest-and a bit of Grassy Pleateau-(also western dunes).
It never gets tired to explore these places again and again as everything is so unexpectable. This is why i love the gameplay within these early biomes for the most, although they might not be the most stunning looking biomes.

Why not then build up whole deeper world also like this?
Current deeper to deeper system is honestly pretty boring for me.

For example, it would be as awesome to explore late biomes if it would be like this : Deep Grand Reef(or Blood Kelp) -> Lost River Canyon -> Deep Grand Reef again -> Lost River Bone Field -> A bit of Lava signs -> Tree Chamber -> Very last section of Blood Kelp(or Deep Grand Reef) -> Lost River Junctions -> Little bit of Lava Zone -> Cove Tree -> Lava Zone -> Lava Castle.

How do you think?



Furthurmore, i can really well imagine that we need more safe shallows, especially one within mountain biomes, and another one between Grand Reef Entrance-Sparse Ree -Southern Grassy Pleateau. This makes sense as there are lands around them.

    I do like the idea of a couple more smaller safe shallows here and there

    The only problem with it is that they kinda can't make any drastic changes to anything near the center of the map, as that would mean destroying thousands of hours of work and having an absolute nightmare to deal with. Their only options are expanding the edges of the world to give them more working space, or doing something with the MASSIVE amount of empty space beyond the wreck, although a lot of that is supposed to be empty because a god damn massive ship smashed into it at terminal velocity.

    I just want my twisty bridges. That's all I want :(

    The dunes definitely needs expanding. Unless they add that the Degasi crew landed there. In which a rusty ship would be interesting. Rusty ship biome that has been overtaken by fauna and flora.

    I also think instead of void they should just have random generated biomes in these regions but with no resources or anything so you can watch and enjoy the scenery. But that is the only reason to go into the void biomes.

    In fact, new meteor area was such a good addition for this idea. Still i don't like that devs are putting all coolest upcoming stuffs like Skeletons in Lost River. It's too much spoiled. Lost River became like "oh most stunning and most diverse biome, but yeah, you don't expect anything other than that"

    I like the idea of having the skeleton of the Desagi as a thing, as a classic shipwreck in space kinda thing.

    But most of all I want the lillypad islands, it looks like it could be a great surface biome and can be put over another, deeper one a la underwater islands.

    You do make a good point, now I think about it, one of the reasons I love the Safe Shallows the most is because it's close to the surface, and has a feeling that it's lit by the sunlight just a few meters above.

    But I think it's far too late to do anything about it at this point.

    Honestly, I really want to see some of the underutilized area improved before they add completely new stuff. Dunes, Mountains, Underwater Islands... honestly other than Gun Island, there's not a whole lot of stuff to the north or east. The SW corner of the map is where it's at.

    The Grand Reef could also use some more things in it (at least in the way of Flora/Fauna) because right now it isn't really deserving of the name "Grand Reef"
