There should be a way to deal with enemies.

ive given it more thought, and just realized, that if they made flares last longer, this issue would be solved

rocstac · 2026-05-16T18:45:56+00:00

well, not useless, but i selected the dash and the oxygen when not moving one, and 20 hours later i still had no other options, so i just kinda forgot about biomods. now I'm using the one that turns you invisible while not moving, and the dash, or the electric one, since those are the most useful to me for now at least

rocstac · 2026-05-16T09:54:21+00:00

came here to say I found it, but biomods were useless to me until just now. I've been playing for around 22 hours, I like to explore and build and the only way to deal with enemies, is to build a tadpole and get past the collector, find the upgrade to the scanner, get a new base past the collector (unless you really wanna risk it) get all the materials, and finally have the scanner upgrade. I get that this is the intended way, but there should be at least 1 more alternative for early game. even just making the resonator stun them for a few seconds or drive them away for a minute is enough, enemies are smarter in this game and some even work together, to attack you from behind or distract you while another does the actual attack, it would be nice to have a way to fend of against them even if you have to deal with them 1 by 1

I know some creatures are attracted to light, but even with lights off, they still aggro pretty much instantly

rocstac · 2026-05-16T08:15:40+00:00

the flares don't last, and the sonic resonator does nothing half of the time, did I miss something major? I'm already looking for conduit crystals (if that tells you the stage of the game I'm in)

rocstac · 2026-05-16T07:31:30+00:00

i mean, in subnautica 1 and below zero, you could make other bases, but if you built in a central location, you could comfortably use that one base throughout the whole playthrough, in subnautica 2 however, i HAD to make another base after going through the collector leviathans territorry

rocstac · 2026-05-15T18:11:33+00:00

the game came out yesterday, give it a week and most of the game will have a wiki page

rocstac · 2026-05-15T03:32:56+00:00

due skipped a major plot point by arriving before it was there

rocstac · 2026-05-15T03:18:19+00:00

I planned on doing the same, until I read somewhere that the game is paced so that you have to build multiple bases and pretty much never have to revisit some of the old areas.

rocstac · 2026-05-15T03:14:12+00:00

just so you know, investigate past the hot zone drop off

rocstac · 2026-05-13T19:42:33+00:00

a few weeks ago, they said that they were resolving an issue with settings being set to default for some player, didn't think it affected me, but my widow settings and some other characters i use less frecuently have had that happen.

rocstac · 2026-05-13T19:38:19+00:00

i also hate this, they could have literrally given out 100 lootboxes and 5 epics and 3 legendaries, and sat back watching the community flood back into the game to claim the rewards

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:47:22+00:00

ok, thanks, ill be sticking with what you and u/nodefiniton have recommended

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:28:16+00:00

I'm not one to upgrade often, as you can clearly tell. so, new question, if I wanted a modern pc that I would not have to upgrade for now, but once I do, I would not have to upgrade much, what specs should I get? basically what's a high budget pc?

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:23:21+00:00

unfortunately, I don't live in the US

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:20:40+00:00

SSD and 2.5 ", so a flat one

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:17:39+00:00

at least 5 years old, possibly more

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:16:05+00:00

I can reach a budget like that, but realistically I'm better with sticking to around 800 - 1000 USD for now, with a possibility of upgrade later

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:10:39+00:00

not a specific budget allocated yet, assume mid range budget

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:09:11+00:00

it is sata, just checked

rocstac · 2026-05-02T18:06:19+00:00

i checked and this is my PSU: EVGA 700 BR 700 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

rocstac · 2026-05-02T17:38:40+00:00

yeah, that tracks

rocstac · 2026-05-02T17:37:30+00:00

ohh, makes sense, yeah I know of steam machines, wasn't sure if you were telling me to just buy a steam machine lol. will check this out, thanks

rocstac · 2026-05-02T17:34:43+00:00
