This looks just so amazing and beautiful, no more words to describe this 🔥

I'm on my second playthrough of Subnautica. It, understandably, took me much less time to complete the main story, so instead of building the rocket, I decided to mess around and build a big base in the Lost River, using only resources I can drill there. I used the fabricator in my Cyclops for 1 computer chip, but other than that, I built it from scratch without taking any resources from the Cyclops or the previous base. I didn't really have a "theme" in mind, I just wanted to keep building and see how it turns out. It was actually super fun. Along the way, I also challenged myself with creating an aquarium containing every fish that you can catch or hatch. Definitely recommend it, it's cool that the game lets you do all this.

I’m going to kill that reaper!!!!

I always thought that above part was just a wall... I've played this game for years how the hell have I not known this

you are on a cliff in the safe shallows. a little downaways, a straight path through the blood kelp trench and then the lost river. you have a mushroom forest and kelp forest literal meters from your base, and the red grass biome. every single common resource is within reach. the water is deep enough for things like your cyclops, but shallow enough on the cliff for a safe base. equal distance between the islands, you only need to visit the aurora once, the bulb zone is the only spot that is nearly useful that is not in your immediate area. the only downside is the reaper by the red grass, but otherwise perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

As has been well established by now, as of April 7th, Krafton is no longer listed as Subnautica 2's publisher on Steam, the Epic Games Store, or the XBox Store. On the official Discord, the devs are understandably unwilling to comment on this situation, but I did find the screenshots above. Up until March 20th, I could find references from devs regarding Krafton as "their" publisher, but this changed by April 9, with one dev saying they are "the developers and publishers" and that, hence, no info from anyone else can be considered official regarding their games. I saw some speculation on said Discord that Krafton losing the lawsuit meant the court stripping them of their publishing rights, but I can't find any information in the court's published opinion directly corroborating that. The case was about unlawful terminations, not publishing rights. The judge stressing that UWE has the right to determine the EA launch date also does not appear to strip Krafton of their publisher rights, as that was already the case before the lawsuit, yet UWE still referred to Krafton as their publisher (determining a date is not the same as holding publishing rights afaik). Yet, the information from the Steam Store and the above screenshot indicate that UWE do consider themselves their own publisher. At the same time, they still list Subnautica 2 under "Krafton" on their website, but who knows what that means. What do you think? I suspect we might get more revelations and legal fight results sooner or later...

it might be kinda booty but  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
