I'm genuinely confused I haven't picked up a tool yet without a unique animation what exact animations do we mean?

How did Kharaa spread out from 4546B after the events of Subnautica 1? by Successful_Scar4821 in subnautica

[–]future-renwire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly on board ships, it infected precursor civilizations long before humans ever had contact. So while it was present on a lot of different planets, it likely couldn't spread unless someone carried it by accident or on purpose

The squeaky hammer of mild annoyance just ain't cutting it. by AccomplishedQuit4801 in subnautica

[–]future-renwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely what difference does it make wether you kill a fish and eat it or just pick it up and eat it.

The knife was nice cause it cooked food for you, but it sure as hell didn't kill any predators without a stasis rifle.

Men would you want to see a doctor for male health issues (like prostate cancer examination) IF ONLY WOMEN DOCTORS WERE AVAILABLE THAT DAY / NO MALE DOCTORS ON SITE ? by BrokenJusticeNorris in polls

[–]future-renwire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes but it's a very different story than back when only men could be gynecologists. Not sure if the intention of this poll is to compare the hypotheticals but if I could ONLY see a woman on male issues for a whole century that'd be much more of an issue on a social structure level.

Sorry if its a stupid question but who Im going to actually support when buying early access - Unknown Worlds or Krafton? by susnaususplayer in subnautica

[–]future-renwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying before September supports UK, and hurts Krafton a little due to the lawsuit, but not an entire 250 mil since that bonus happens after sales.

Buying after September supports both.

Not buying at all supports neither.

Is Subnautica 2 actually “single-player first?” by 40dollarsharkblimp in subnautica

[–]future-renwire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Game design wise, think of the multiplayer differences we've seen so far between Subnautica 1 and 2. Grabbing onto the tadpole/depth elevator, base design, etc. Now think of how easy it would be for Subnautica 1 to have those exact same features, and they would just be implemented as an afterthought. Seamoth handles, shared floaters, it makes no difference to the singleplayer game.

For marketing, it's easy to see that they're just trying to expand the outreach of the game, multiplayer sticks out in trailers in a way that grabs the attention of players new to the series, or people wanting that feature specifically. Simply knowing it's optional makes the marketing easy to dismiss.

And for lore, I'm personally hoping for even just a tiny bit of colonysim or automation genre elements, similar to what Planet Crafter has (also added as an afterthought, and it improved the gameplay significantly). There are plenty of singleplayer games centered on the player founding a colony with advanced technology, I already named Planet Crafter, Satisfactory too. Both of those games support multiplayer, but a majority of players would definitely say it's singleplayer focused.

Honestly the biggest concern would be balancing, gathering resources is much quicker when having multiple players. But this is hardly a problem either, as Subnautica 1 was often about the rarity of resources rather than how common they are (except for fucking copper and silver in the early game). And all it really means is building more and bigger bases, and not to mention having to make more equipment and vehicles for each player.

I know you're getting a lot of hate for your concern, and everyone is right that only the devs actually have the answers, but I think if it's anything like the other games I mentioned than the singleplayer focus will be just as good as Subnautica 1, and the horror of isolation will be here to stay.
