3D printed Tadpole!

This is the latest addition to my Subnautica model set. By far the hardest to get right so far.

I’ve detailed the CAD process in another post a little more for those interested.

You don't have to have Thassalophobia to be scared

You don't have to have Thassalophobia to be scared of a bottomless void where you are not the apex predator and are in fact prey.

This is not just true of Subnautica but of real life. Reaching an underwater cliff and knowing there are sharks, giant squid, massive whales that can accidentally kill you, among other smaller but no less deadly threats; is truly a scary experience.

It's not a phobia, it's recognition of danger. You aren't equiped to survive in that location, you don't have the tools to keep yourself safe, there is no shelter nearby. The crazy people are the ones who aren't scared.

I miss feelings from my first Subnautica playthrough

Hi! I finished this game few months ago, and today i made my sister play this. And once i opened Subnautica, i heard that menu ost and felt some flashbacks and kinda nostalgic. I feel really sad that these feelings from exploration new biomes and creatures and lore won't be happen again... I really want to erase my memory to experience that again. I just wanted to share my feelings with you and ask if you had that, and what did you do to stop being sad? Sorry for bad english

Axum Bacterial, had anyone been able to grow these in a metal farm,

I mean, you can put these in a metal farm easily enough, but they just don't grow. Is there a trick to doing it? Or you're just not able to?

So which reaper is this?

Already beat the game, but this was the last thing I did before wrapping up. I hadn't seen a reaper the whole time, so I went out to the dunes in hopes of seeing and scanning one before finishing. Who's this boy? I wanna build my base by him next time! Next time though, I probably won't sacrifice my seamoth.

What is the most terrifying part of Subnatuica for you?

For me it's definitely the void. I have pretty severe thallasaphobia, and the first time I went out there I didn't realize how scary it would be. I swam out for a little bit, but when I turned around, I couldn't see anything but endless dark blue water. I just about fainted when a ghost leviathan swimming at me and I could see how massive it was. It took me a while to pick the game back up after that.

What is this?

Explanation: I was building a base in the Void. And suddenly I saw this, turned on freecam and flew there.

To all the ppl with thalassophobia who play this game (or any kind of fear related to this game whatsoever), how is your expierience with Subnautica? :3

Im just generally curious. One of the reasons i started to play this game a year ago is bc of how creepy it can be. When i did start i found out its personally not very scary for me (but rather fascinating hence i love it anyway) so i want to know how is it for players who ARE at least slightly scared of some parts of the game. Tell me your expieriences, im listening :3

TBF I feel like plenty of creators just pretend that they legitimately have thalassophobia. So many people claim that when playing the game yet so little express emotions that properly reflect that view. Except for this hidden gem, convinces the thalassophobia presence and it's really fun to watch.

mandatory vehicle

just entering the endgame phase. I did some research and consideration about mobile base for the next biomes (ilz/lz) . do building mobile base really worthy or I could just finish it using prawn and seamoth? it seems that prawn suit is quite enough to finish the game

Backrooms of Subnautica 2?

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but right next to the Hot Cave Basecamp “I found something… a door…” I saw a fish swim inside and thought to myself it must have been a glitch, but sure enough, you can go right through! And yes you can come back in the same way. Even cooler, you can build out there! Just thought I’d share this with the community just in case it hasn’t been shown or for the ones who haven’t seen it yet. It may end up getting patched at some point but until then, explore away!

I started playing this game recently and I want to ask

What is everyone’s ranking of the tools? I don’t see people mention the air bladder that often but I feel like at least early game it’s really useful

A cheeky little reaper decided to try and eat my Seamoth and i can’t decide between using a prawn suit and give them a chance, or use a stasus rifle to make it 1 sided

My Seamoth survived (barely) and ima hunt down this reaper just to send a message to the others

Found Kyanite, did the upgrades now where do I go?

Possible spoiler.

So awhile back I was super happy and relieved with everyone tips/advice/suggestions to have found kyanite. Making progress with the story line so now I’m bit lost on what I should do. 😅 so i was suggested to leave storage boxes of essentials in the deeper depths as well as a micro base. But where am I to go about finding a “cure”/ vaccine for this storyline to progress? Also how am I supposed to get to the Alterra black box? lol I am so confused with that I still low key obsessed with trying to find it too!
