Very very nice. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite survival games. It's very fair in its progression.
I bought the game on the last summer sale but I feel so lost in terms of where to obtain my resources.
I started building a sea base but I don't know where to go forward. I have 3 air tanks but it feels insuficient for everything
Anyway, OPTIMIZATIONS
That bed will come in handy.
Do I need to start a new game to take "use" of the new update?

You will get that warning in the cyclops if the seamoth is on board. Its not actually the cyclips telling you that its the seamoths computer warning you. The cyclops can indeed go further down. Though ive never tested if the seamoth will incur damage while in the cyclops.
This new update is pretty neat but my performance deteriorates much quicker now when I've explored more of the map.
I'm way too late for this, but you need to make and place a fabricator in the Cyclops to make that upgrade. This isn't conveyed anywhere in the game, I think. The vehicle modification station can only make mods for the Prawn and Seamoth and can only be built in a moonpool.

It took me a good six hours to overcome the deep dread of the ocean this game inspired in me, but now that I am past that I am actually really enjoying this game. Love the discovery and exploration and like the story so far. Surprisingly beautiful at times. Really wish I had a better way to kill the cave jumpers then I do now though. A knife is boring.

This looks incredible!
How is console performance? Getting all the same updates as PC?

Ahh, that does explain a bit in both circumstances. Thanks.
Either way, I think I'm going to wait until they do the full release to get back to the game. It's a bit less sandboxy than I realized it would be, and since they seem to be adding new chunks of content, I'd hate to "finish" the game now, and then I never feel like going back to see what got added or start a new game to see anything new that got added to the early game.
I've been listening/watching Markiplier's of this game and it looks really great. I think I saw the tentative full release is in May, so I may wait until that point to get it.
That said, the game seems like it has an end goal. Is it possible to just kind of run a playthrough indefinitely and play it like underwater Minecraft? Or is the content fairly focused on getting you through to the end?

You can play indefinitely like Minecraff and progress through its story at your own pace. It really is a great game. I was hooked on it this past December.

Currently playing the hell out of this game, it's so much fun. I bought it probably over a year ago, but I recently watched markiplier's series on it, so I decided to boot it up again.
The game's just fun, and terrifying. Like, run away and don't look behind you terrifying.

Knew about this game for a long time but only began playing it now, been playing non-stop this weekend. Loving it.
I've finally been able to build a Cyclops... but I didn't anticipate the depth it would need after being launched so it hit the seabed a bit where I built it lol.
Problem I have is that it shows it took about 10% damage so I have 90% left, but how do I repair it? I can't find any breaches outside or inside. Am I missing something?
Edit: I see that at the engine room it shows 1500/1500 health, but the bridge UI elements on the left and when piloting it shows that I have taken about 10% damage. I am playing on the experimental build, I guess it's a bug?

Finally picked this back up with the last update coming in, last time I played it was right after they added VR and back then there was no back story and I got bored pretty fast.
The new story is actually pretty nice, like the messages
were quite nicely done. Still need to get a lot of upgrades before I can work out what is going on with the
.
Also all the added cosmetic items and new upgrade paths are making it easier for me to stay engaged since I can now make things pretty, right now I have a nice volcano base and started constructing a second one in the
with easy access to the surface. Still need to figure out how to make the Seamoth be able to go below 200m though.

All the story elements are here and in July they are supposed to wrap up the end game (assets are here but not tied to the story yet), then August to October is perfs/stability. End of October is supposed to be v1.0.
I love all 3 but I'm probably most pumped about The Forest just to see what they have in store for their story mode, I think the upcoming patch is supposed to have some more on that.

How is the performance on Xbox One? I picked it up a while ago, but decided to put it down for the time being since it was so choppy. I would love to jump back in though.

Starved for copper. All the time. Stop giving me silver and gold, limestone!
One thing this game makes me is anxious as heck for resources. They are very far from each other, and the limestones are random in terms of giving you resources. They also don't respawn (?)
It makes Surival very hard because you are always dependant on Salt to give you water and cured food.
Anyway, finally built my Seamoth! And watched the Sunbeam event. I don't know where to go now or how to proceed.

Survival really isn't as brutal as in similar games because fauna is so plentiful... And if you explore, farming becomes viable and low maintenance (even on the sub!)
Thank you
Have they re-balanced thing a little in the later parts of the game?
I'm afraid I'm going to start again from scratch for the fourth or fifth time, then it'll be great when I build my base, begin farming and up to the Seamoth. And then I'll inevitably fall down into the same old horrid cycle of chores trying to gather parts for

Got this during the summer sale and I'm absolutely loving it so far. Singleplayer survival games with story elements sprinkled in here and there are slowly becoming one of my favorite types of games. The environments are beautiful and the deeper areas make me feel pretty uncomfortable with the of lights and haunting noises in the background. There's also a lot more to the basebuilding system than I had initially thought. I keep unlocking new things to build which really helps feel like you're slowly progressing toward something.
The only thing that bugs me is how poorly the game loads in new areas. There's constant pop-in of both terrain and animals and it stutters while doing do. Can really take you out of it.
Still, this is probably my favorite take on the survival game genre. Time to get working on my Cyclops.

I'd say give it a new thread. Repurposing old ones gets confusing.

They've been saying that for about a year now. Every end of the month is going to be launch.

Well, I believe they raised the price on Steam last month in preparation for launch, due to some price manipulation law that doesn't allow them to raise the price within a month of launching or something. Seems like they mean it.
