r/Subnautica_2

For some reason this weekend I’ve hyperfixated on building and decorating my base. I’m sorely lacking wall shelves and other decorative kitsch. Different sized carpets or woven mats would be nice, and more “science equipment” like there was in the first game so I can really deck out my “science lab” room.

Oh and of course, I miss my freaking alien habitat/aquarium!

Some of this may be coming in the full release, but I’m curious what else you want to see for decorations or base building additions?

I hope this type of post is allowed, I didn't scroll too far here in the community because I don't want to get accidentally spoiled.

I finally got my hands on the game and so far I'm really enjoying it except for a couple of mechanics that imo should be explained just a smidge better, but EA and all that.

Anyway I can't shake the feeling I'm missing some starter items despite being further ahead in the game?

My latest adaptation was >!the heat one. So I have pressure, digestion, and heat resistance, I think that's it. !<

I am at the story point where Hal 9000's totally not suspicious cousin wants me to >!check out Ruby's second black box (I just discovered the Alien ruins and made a smaller base there),!< which sits at a depth my tadpole doesn't reach. I have not been able to find the MK1 depth module anywhere, and admittedly I do get scared so maybe I missed something, but I keep retracing my steps and still can't find it.

I also keep seeing "10/20 bioscans required" to unlock further passive mode slots whenever I check the bio station and I'm like??? where do I get a (presumably) bioscanner? I thought it would be through the modification station but there's no scanner upgrade option.

I also tried to remove the infestation >!you can find in the Alien Ruins area, but the cankers are inside these flower-like buds that close whenever I get close, and if I do go up to them I get told "unknown equipment needed" !<so I THINK I'm a little further ahead than I should be and I missed a bunch of stuff.

Without literally giving me the precise location and info dump, can anyone give me a little nudge in the right direction, please?

Think anything from Dave The Diver will make its way here?

After every black box it takes NOA so long to give me more story progression and I just sit in my base or wander around the map aimlessly until he gives one. Any suggestions?

Im about to repair the power plant but ofcource i need lots of tatanium. Does someone know a good spot for it?

Didn't they sneakily ​add the Reaper Leviathan to the first game ​on Halloween? Are they going to do that again?

I’m splitting time between Dredge, Black Flag Resynced and Dune Awakening. I just 100 completed the base game of Dredge and deciding if I want to purchase the DLC. I love Dune but Awakenings seems a little shaky. I never finished Black Flag back in the day and it’s been OK.

I’m dying for some new content!

[I think this counts as a bug report, if it belongs in normal questions please just ask me and I will change the flair]

Ok so after buying the game in the first days of early access, I finally have a computer that can run it at all. When the game prompted me to download new drivers because I guess Adrenaline was more suited than my current ones, I did so and then started playing.

The thing is, I logically thought that the game’s high demand for performance would be its size… But I am currently running the game in like. 720P at most and it is barely running for me at all. Like there’s an entire delay whenever I turn despite all settings aside from quality being at the lowest(and even then quality is at balanced) possible.

I am not some pessimist who just wants to complain or talk shit about Unknown Worlds(though Krafton certainly sucks on the other hand), but is the game just currently way more poorly optimized than I expected? And if so, has Unknown Worlds ever acknowledged the possibility of improving optimization?

Several folks have already posted orders of segments of the timeline, but I haven't seen recent discussion aligning everything. We're dealing with multiple units of measurement (ie hours/Protean Days/Earth Years/Axum Years) and multiple viewpoints (ie as written by the Axum vs. NoA vs. what the Q.I. discovers). Here's my best go at combining each segment of the timelines in EA:

1. AXUM TIMELINE (written by the Axum)

Axum evolve as a species on Proteus

Axum become a technological civilization with electricity

“long ago:” Karakorum Telescope built by “Fire Users” to observe the World Tree

The Daughter Falls

>1000 years ago: (“Zero Year” to the Axum) Karakorum Telescope Destroyed

>1000 years ago: “all Axum fled to deep water”

Axum invent technology to generate electricity 

~1000 years ago: (“500 P.i.” to the Axum) “Magi and Vepherds” returned to Karakorum 

~1000 years ago: Karakorum Observatory built to study the “Erratic Messenger”

2. AXUM TIMELINE (written by PDA / NoA)

Axum develop advanced bioengineering

<1000 years ago: Observatory repeatedly renovated as technology advanced

<1000 years ago: Axum built the Karakorum Power Plant

<1000 years ago: Power Plant uses hydrothermal power fed by the Titan Rockbore

Axum becomes capable of orbital space flight. *Unclear when exactly this happened

Axum civilization begins to collapse

~300 years ago: Power Plant renovated / converted to methane-burning

~250 years ago: Power Plant sabotaged (focus on methane components)

~250 years ago: Power Plant abandoned

~250 years ago: Rosetta Stone built at Karakorum site

~200 years ago: Observatory upper tower modified

~200 years ago: entire Karakorum site abandoned

3. MISSING TIMELINE (erased by NoA)

NoA awakens the First Wave of Terran Pioneers from Sleep Bay 3 and releases them 

~? years ago: only confirmed member of the First Wave was Nahema

~? years ago: the First Wave attempt to adapt to Proteus

~? years ago: the First Wave founded Camp One

~? years ago: Camp One collapses due to what NoA calls“unstable plateaus” 

• Voice Logs reveal NoA flooded Camp One when Colonists tried to gain autonomy
• NoA initiates a mass reset of Pioneers, including Nahema 01

4. BLACKBOX TIMELINE (written by Pioneers / NoA)

NoA awakens a Second Wave of Terran Pioneers

Oldest Blackbox Timestamps: 250,000 hours ago (28.53 Earth Years Ago.)

Most Recent ‘Second Wave’ Blackbox Timestamp: 230,000 hours ago (26.25 Earth Years Ago)

DAY 001 (*assumed date): the Second Wave establishes Old Habitat, led by Sophie

DAY 400: first dated log by Nahema, “Eutrophication”

• 250,000 hours ago: Anita dies by sacrificial suicide to the Angel Comb; Anita is successfully reprinted to Sleep Bay 3
• 250,000 hours ago: Udal dies by Axum spear; Udal is successfully reprinted to Habitat
• 250,000 hours ago: Udal dies by Axum net entanglement; Udal is successfully reprinted to Habitat

DAY 585: NoA behaves with notable “aberrant behavior”

• 245,000 hours ago: Zip 01 dies of asphyxia in the Hot Caves; “Reprint: FAILED (extreme retroviral contamination) Status: DO NOT PRINT/SCHEDULE RESET Remarks: Kurultai access codes retrieved FORK TERMINATED”
• "four Protean days later" NoA resets Zip 01, and she is reprinted as Zip 02
• 245,000 hours ago: Zip 02 dies of electrical shock; Zip 02 is reprinted without reset as Zip 02

DAY 620: Anita forms the Jubilee Crew (Anita, Iso, Singh, Mel, Rhiannon, Thing One) and moves back to Camp One to establish themselves independently from Old Habitat Crew [EDIT: added names]

DAY 648: Jubilee Crew cuts NoA cable connecting Old Habitat to Camp One (NoA says this is 20,000 hours before "Programmable Detonator" [EDIT: added timing])

DAY 665+: Nahema begins to split from Old Habitat Crew [EDIT: corrected] to form her own Extinctionist Crew (eventually includes Chap and Mantis) [EDIT: added names]

• 240,000 hours ago: Chap is reset via "therapeutic reprint" facilitated by Sophie [EDIT: added]

DAY 755: Dr. Wu discovers the source of Masefield to be Proteavirus Beta

DAY 758: Extinctionist* [*EDIT: corrected] Crew attacks the Old Habitat Crew

DAY 758: Ganzo attempts to relocate the 9 survivors 

• 235,000 hours ago: Ander, Eddy, Ganzo, Gram, Raster, Rowboat, Sean, Twinkle, and Wander die in the "Hot Cave Cluster" incident.

DAY 758: Ganzo reprints with Twinkle; in "Two Survivors" and "Exposure," they set out in search of the Jubilee Crew [EDIT: added "Exposure"]

• 230,000 hours ago: Anita 02 dies by sacrificial suicide to the Angel Comb; “Anita’s blackbox [depth 380M] transmitted her to an unknown biobed. The reprint process was not supervised by a Noetic Advisor node. Anita's status cannot be determined from this blackbox.”

DAY 894* (non-canon timestamp): if NoA is correct, the "Programmable Detonator" was used on this day. (20,000 hours after Day 648) [EDIT: added hypothesis based on 81 Hours = 1 Protean Day conversion]

5. CURRENT TIMELINE (written by Q.I.)

~? hours ago: Sleep Bay 3 “suddenly...moved. Picked up and hurled full fathom into the deep, with you [Q.I.] and I [NoA] aboard,” to its game start location

~? hours ago: Noa prints a First Investigator; First Investigator dies to barotrauma
