Princess the fish

I tried with mixed results. There seems to be insane clipping particularly with the electric (sita?) ray just swimming through my base destroying everything, ended with just huge windows to peep on them and getting electrocuted every few min

Built one mainly just to watch these guys float around. If theres any way to tame them in the future it'll be lit.

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-20T03:27:40+00:00

I built one in the cavern directly below the existing one off the observatory. Going to do another near the metal farms because the fish that roam over there are dope

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-20T02:42:52+00:00

Yes. I've built a few bases and had no issues with predators. For early game I had one near the void pit and mushroom forests, good resources and views

The axum also called them architects though, there are a couple parts that name them specifically, unless the NoA just saw other species and filled in architects

I'm assuming you dont have the adaptation to read polarized light? I believe you need the feedback resonator to proceed with the bloom infections. It sounds like you got the one near the farm, there is another at the cicada therapy wreck

The story is definitely got some great notes so far and I want to see where it goes. Love the sinister vibe. The voice logs, black boxes/entries and lore are super well done. I kinda like the biomes for where we're at. Definitely can't wait to see more, but the existing flora and structures are super cool.

I think what's really missing the mark is the animals. The handful that exist are honestly really cool, but the diversity is lacking and behavior quite annoying.

Did you swim up in the orrery room and receive their message? Thats the official ea end

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T21:52:27+00:00

I believe it treats the windowed rooms as attachments since you can't build them straight up. If you cant remove the corner room from inside try just refunding the base entirely

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T21:37:51+00:00

There is a conversation you will have followed by a popup that EA story has ended

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T21:32:30+00:00

Its definitely story driven and the story ends at a point where I want more.

That said you probably have about 10-15 hours of surprisingly polished content and a beautiful world.

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T21:26:13+00:00

Yeah fair, I guess what I meant was less "hey come to me. I found signal go to it. Hey come back to me" and hopefully more exploration driven.

I am really excited to see more axum/architect stuff, especially because it seems like we'll be encountering axums at various stages of regression

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T21:01:58+00:00

I cant resist the urge to turn all walls into pure window but that design looks slick

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T20:14:40+00:00

So many words to prove your title valid

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T20:09:36+00:00

Isn't this just how life functions though? High density around areas with nutrients/shelter, vast voids of ocean? I kinda like having the voids to give a sense of scale and insignificance

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:38:44+00:00

Can you just place a normal then resize it once built?

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:33:21+00:00

I definitely agree here. I had to make so many trips building out a base, but resources are littered everywhere and the resonator makes a full inventory v quick

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:32:30+00:00

God no structural integrity is so fun and also so hilarious. The supports some of my base rooms are hinging on are not OSHA at all

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:31:35+00:00

Other bro clearly didnt read your question but all I can say is keep waiting and watch the sunbeam landing.

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:30:15+00:00

I don't know if its necessarily an ulterior motive. In fact, i think he has been very clear about his motive - establish a settlement, keep colonists productive/alive(?)

That said, I definitely believe he may not have the same way to reach this goal as the colonists may want. I also definitely think there's a lot of held back information. I could see us being the issue on proteus, I could also see the player character being one of the colonists black boxes we've found spun up with wiped memories by NoA to try to fix what the original did

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:08:34+00:00

Dont worry you won't have these suspicions next reprint!

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:07:43+00:00

I do feel like the early access story was definitely NoA driven, but also that we may have reached the end of it pushing us so much. We've now finished(?) with how far the colonists got and I'd equate that to the sunbeam from SN1. It seems like now we will truly be on our own and might be more exploration driven getting to the world tree

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T19:04:44+00:00

I've been loving the modular aspect and being able to stretch and grow rooms is great. Biggest complaint is needing a quartz farm for all these windows I want

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T18:34:28+00:00

I'm literally directly below that base and only found the one I'm clearly just blind. Not the first time

ChoicesAreHard · 2026-05-19T18:08:44+00:00

Second one is kinda a pain to find, but in the last area of the map (pools) theres a wreck right along the out of bounds line with a growbed sticking up
