r/subnautica

I recognize that there is a lot wrong with creatures being too aggressive right now in Subnautica 2, but the collector leviathan is literally the best leviathan Unknown worlds has ever crafted. It feels perfect in the state it currently finds itself and like a genuine threat to the player at all times. Scanning it is actually hellish and mindnumbing but that doesn’t really matter imo. It just forces the player to be more creative.

I wrote this as part of a steam review but I think I want to make sure this gets eyes. This thing is perfect and although it’s not very scary design wise, it’s such a threat that it ends up being just as scary as the reapers from the first game.

I like to download blank video games maps and draw on them using the freeform app on iPad while I explore, but other than Mapgenie, I could not find a full map that had better details when zoomed in. I stitched together this image from smaller, more detailed images from mapgenie - it is not perfect and AI could have probably done something better, but uploading this in case it is useful for anyone else that likes to do the same thing :)

Edit: Sorry, not sure why this is showing as clear for some and potato quality for others. Android mobile view seems to be bad but not sure how to fix it.

To all the Subnautica fans out there we hit over 4 million games sold in 5 days, and this is just early access! The game still has a long road ahead head but the devs are already talking about the road map and improvements to the game. In the meantime stay safe divers and lets enjoy this new world

The game looked gorgeous and the base builder was great fun and offered lots of freedom. I just wanted to share my base which I was very happy with, if you have any questions, suggestions or thoughts about it I'm all ears.

I've re-made the Fnaf 1 map so many times in so many games it was only a matter of time.
Credit to u/BurtonTheSkully for being the first person that I saw do this!!

I'll admit they are doing a good job at annoying the shit out of me.

There is a solution to aggressive fish that aligns with the developers' vision. Everyone who played SN1 already knows what it is but somehow forgot.

Make the fish useful

You could kill stalkers in SN1 but that's a terrible idea for endgame reasons. Nobody complains about stalkers - even though they were aggressive fish - because they provided a unique reward for knowing how to interact with them. Similary, crash fish gave sulfur and gasopods gave gas pods. *cough* Needlers *cough*

Nobody complains about reapers or ghosts in SN1 because everybody had a fun way of interacting with them; leviathans could either be an obstacle you dodged or a trophy on your wall.

If mangos collected silver, they turn from being nuisances to jackpots. One pda entry hints that you can tame wild marrowbreaches. They're called Collector Leviathans so why aren't they collecting stuff I can steal? This is a tried and true solution from SN1.

This is awesome! Excited for the future!

Not for big lore reasons, just like the real mariana trench, it'd simply be a myterious, unsettling and very scarce of life area that simply exists in the map.

Kinda like the meteorite in SN1 this area would be a cool and creepy landmark in the map.
