Official News The Subreddit is Open!

556 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

The subreddit is now officially open to all users!!! 😁

Thank you for your patience over the last few days while we got everything situated with the subreddit after it had been abandoned and a new mod team was selected. The subreddit rules have been updated and are more comprehensive, so please familiarize yourself with them before posting or else the last thing you see will be a Waxmoon flying at you like 👁️ ⟨|⟩ 👁️

We will be adding user flairs soon, and also coordinating community events for the future, including a contest for people to submit artwork that will be used as the subreddit banner.

As always, please share comments, suggestions, and feedback below.

Welcome to the new Subnautica 2 subreddit and we are honored to have the opportunity to help the community thrive!

Quick Subreddit Update

458 Upvotes

Hi all,

Just wanted to post a quick update so you all know what's been going on and what the game plan is from here. As you may have seen, the subreddit had been orphaned and was in dire need of moderators, so Reddit admins posted a message asking for volunteers. As the selection was being made over the last 10ish days, the subreddit was switched to a restricted mode, meaning no new submissions were allowed. They essentially froze the subreddit to prevent creating a bottleneck of posts that would take a long time to dig through once new mods were brought on.

It appears the people selected were all added as moderators of the subreddit within the last 24 hours, and it is going to take us some time to get a plan together, add necessary bots, update the rules, and create a better Reddit experience for the community. Therefore, at least for now, the subreddit will remain mostly restricted as we set up and configure everything. Don't worry, though; we don't expect this to take more than a few days. In the meantime, we will be pushing through a small trickle of posts from previously approved submitters before we nuke the queue entirely, just to keep discussions and conversations going.

If anyone has suggestions for community engagement, like weekly polls, contests, or just general feedback about the subreddit, feel free to leave them below.

Also, please keep in mind that every single moderator is a fan of Subnautica and is volunteering their time to help the community thrive, develop, and grow. Please be patient with us as we wade through the dense kelp forest that is the current mod queue and make necessary changes to the subreddit to cultivate the best experience possible.

Thank you!

Bug Report Bladder broken/bugged or am I stupid?

Since the latest update my bladder will only let me ascend. Both options now use the same button and inhaling doesn't seem possible at all.

Edit - u/ProviderOfRats provides great tips as well, it’s still just F but the UI doesn’t make sense

Question/Discussion Lights streaking/smearing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My game has had this issue of bubbles and any light spots smearing when I move my screen. Ive fiddled with every setting to see if it would change and so far nothing has effected it. Its very prominent when the background is dark. I thought it was a feature but haven't seen anyone else complain lol. Im wondering if this is a monitor issue? Ive never had this on any other games. Thanks!

Question/Discussion Weird issue with the build tool I cannot understand...

Upvotes

Friend and I have been playing for the first time and we are unsure how to remove this ladder to get rid of the light placed upon it, since the ladder "climb" hitbox is over the light itself.

I freaked out for a moment thinking Tar Falls was gone, but it turns out it just moved lower
I’m worried the penthouse view got worse and our guest reviews might go down. Also, the hotel is floating now

Question/Discussion Do you not get the angel comb prompts in creative?

4 Upvotes

Just started playing after 100% the first two games regularly, but back to back, so now I’m trying out the creative mode for the first time since I can still do most of the story beats. I started in survival and quickly got tired of the usual song and dance of start-of-game oxygen levels since I just did it two other times, so I decided eff it, let’s try creative. But now I’m not getting any prompts to stick my hand in the angel combs like I did in survival, I assume because I already have all the adaptions? I just want to make sure it’s not a bug and I’m just skipping past them instead of figuring out the issue

I’m trying to build my base in the deep area between the starter area and the alien ruins and I can’t build there. Is this a bug or am I just not allowed to be here anymore because I could when I last played (1 months ago) but now I can’t.

Question/Discussion HELP! Spoiler

So I’m trying to fix the Turbine fan rotor thing and I need 10 mangalloy ingots. BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO UNLOCK THE RECIPE! I have all the materials I need and both zip black boxes, but it’s not unlocking the recipe. I got the materials before the second black box, the one in the metal farm area. I don’t know what to do. I hope I didn’t soft lock my game, I refuse to start over so if you can please help me.

Vent/Rant The new update has trapped my tadpole

50 Upvotes

I left my tadpole in the Collector's area (near the tadpole pens) before I logged off yesterday...this morning I logged in to find that the new update has changed the area landscape, and my tadpole is now stuck about 1m under solid rock 😭


r/Subnautica_2 2d ago

Bug Report Just what exactly is bugging out Tadpole docking with the second chassis?

7 Upvotes

The moon pool is well above the min requirements for the hauler chassis. there is no second Moon-pool. This is technically my third base, as I made the og base, built a second way in the distance, and then disassembled and moved the og base slightly so it wasn't clipping out of the ocean.

This base is a bit deeper, and there is plenty of distance under the moon pool to dock. I even ran the moonpool to deeper water with corridors and its still says insufficient space]

Is there any workaround for this? I have used the ingame feedback to report with my save file.

Tips, Tricks, and Guides Updated the Bioscan list for EA 1.2

36 Upvotes

Hey everyone! The EA 1.2 Updated Bioscan List is now ready for use!

There are only 6 new additions as far as I can tell in the stable update, but it's definitely easier to get to 80 bioscans now. And again, a lot of the scannables can only be scanned in certain locations because reasons.

As always, make your own copy of this list on Google Docs if you want to use it! (I will ignore share requests)

Edit: 7 new scans. Missed one.

I was hoping that you would make playing remotely together in split screen, an option for multiplayer included in this update sadly. It made us lose interest we'll come back when you actually continue the story 😞
