    The idea that the game costing more = more $$ earned by the devs is a HUGE falsehood that seriously needs to die. They are honestly much more likely to make more money at a lower reasonable price. I for one wouldn't buy it at more …

    Actually a geostationary orbit is at about 45,000 kilometers, which makes it a high earth orbit. You could also easily accomplish this with a geocentric orbit which can be off the equator. The point is that you don't ever get over …

    You get its precise coordinates from the gun facility. It makes perfect sense for it to have logged the place it's getting its power from.

    Right now there basically aren't any clues to where it is. It's not easy to see …
  • Thankfully the "studio director" won't have much power or control over this. Mods are being made despite that view, and will continue to be made. That's how modding got started in a lot of games that never officially supported them.

  • The only problem point I see is your graphics. It can probably play it still, though. Steam will allow you to refund the game within the first 2 hours at least, so I agree with in Is it worth buying Subnautica and play on minimum requirements? Comment by cdaragorn January 2018
  • They said in the livestream that it just unlocked the rocket. I'm a bit sad to hear you say it's not worth playing yourself for that, though. I admit I've stayed away from the game for a while due to burnout from restarting so many times, but I'm ex…
  • I get what the OP is saying. It's long since become a tedious exercise for me when I know I have to start over and recollect all the fragments and rebuild my bases over again.
    I LOVE the gameplay. I just hate redoing the beginning over again s…

    Yikes. I've been taking advantage of this "bug" for so long I don't even remember when it wasn't a thing. My bases are not going to like this...

    I don't know about the reference to .9. I would need to go back and watch that again, but that is NOT how warp drive works in either Star Trek or reality.
    You can't "speed up to warp", and it doesn't just kick in ever. You ha…

    Impulse drive is generally accepted to be a sub-light drive. The problem is that there really isn't any defined speed for it. It's definitely not supposed to be the speed of light, though.

    As fun as it is to bash English, I'm always fascinated by people that claim it's worse than any other language in this respect. Humans generally don't do a very good job when it comes to language in What about xbox update?? Comment by cdaragorn December 2017
  • I kind of wonder if a lot of people think that the blurring is entirely caused by the DOF and are hating on it without looking at the other options that were added.

    I for one was really confused for a while until I looked up what "chroma…

    Other games use more of your VRAM because they have more textures than Subnautica does. How much VRAM is being used doesn't tell you anything about what's actually going on underneath.

  • I struggle to nominate a game for a category claiming to not have "combat or conflict" when so many creatures in the game are literally trying to kill you.
  • (Quote) Just because the publisher wants to force you to buy the same game again doesn't mean the law actually requires it.
    This is called format shifting, and it's 100% legal under fair use in the US. I believe it's also legal under fair d…

    Ya, I absolutely didn't mean to come off as trollish. The state and attitude people have around copyright today just depresses me precisely because it causes people who would otherwise create awesome new stuff stop out of fear that…

  • I'm ok with the idea of just showing biomes as you discover them, but part of what I love about this game is the fact that you are personally responsible for mapping what you want to remember about the world and have to use conventional tools to nav…

    Copyrighted? Please tell me you're joking. At least here in the US you can't copyright a number. I'd honestly cry if I learn that anywhere thinks it's ok to "copyright" something so basic that they clearly didn't create.

    I REALLY hope they didn't use floats for these things. Horribly inaccurate with progressive problems as you do math on them. A simple int will more than suffice to represent what a battery charge needs to be.

    While I ag…

    They've gone more than a year without fixing the bulkheads. It feels like they think the base building is good enough for now and don't care that there are several pieces people will see as important that are completely broken.

    I suppose it could be that, but I doubt it. I've had plenty of times where it's only showing 4 or 5 resources in the list and still not showing resources I know are nearby. In some cases because I planted them there just to test it.
  • I'd like to nominate the Scanner Room resources to select bug. It doesn't show all resources consistently, and misses resources that are within scan range.

    I'm sorry, but the fact that mixing all pigments together makes black does not make black the presence of all colors. Those two statements are saying completely different things about the color. One is talking about the physical ch…

    Careful, there. You make the flawed assumption that a higher price per copy will result in more money overall for UWE. Any price increase comes with the very real possibility that the company will actually earn less money because t…
  • This is why building your own engine is always worth it. The perceived benefit of using another engine always ends up giving you problems that can't be fixed by you.

    Every game that does anything serious with it has issues with Unity. I …
  • Beacons are great, but honestly the compass is your best friend. Learn to keep track of what directions you've searched from major landmarks. If you go out 8 major directions from anywhere in the safe shallows, you should hit every major biome and q…

    A lot of publishers make their own bots that crawl YouTube looking for things that look like copyrighted content. The problem with this is that any claim they make is almost always wrong and even illegal for them to make. The reaso…
  • The only known fix right now is to run the game on an SSD. The problem is how much loading they're doing from the HDD.

  • I never said you could guarantee it. I just said it was something you should do that will make it hard for anything malicious to get past it. I also said it is unlikely, which is true.
    To a certain extent you have to decide if you're willing t…
  • A big part of the problem with this is that it is not a settled area of Copyright law. There's good reason to believe that even if you monetize the videos, they're not a copy of the game but rather a derivative work. You are creating your own conten…
