How to Survive in Subnautica?

Managing food and water is crucial when playing Subnautica in survival mode. Early in the game, fish are your primary source of sustenance. It's recommended to grab fish opportunistically as you travel, ensuring you don't end up desperately searching for food [2:1]. Cooked peepers are particularly valuable for their nutritional benefits. Additionally, using a grav trap near your life pod can help gather fish efficiently [2:3].

Avoiding Dangerous Areas

Certain areas in Subnautica are more perilous than others, especially for new players. The dunes and crash zone should be avoided unless you have specific objectives there [3:1]. When exploring the Aurora, approach from the safe shallows and keep close to the ship's surface to minimize encounters with reapers [3:6]. Always carry medical kits and stay above 80% health to survive potential reaper attacks [3:1].

Emergency Oxygen Supply

Having a backup oxygen tank can be a lifesaver, especially when exploring deep or complex wrecks. Many players have found themselves in dire situations due to unexpected vehicle destruction or getting lost inside wrecks [5:1][5:5]. Carrying multiple oxygen tanks or setting up air pumps and pipes can provide a safety net during these explorations [5:8].

Utilizing Tools and Strategies

Several tools can assist in surviving Subnautica's challenges. The pathfinder tool is invaluable for navigating complex wrecks, helping prevent disorientation and ensuring a safe exit [5:12]. For early-game resource gathering, grav traps can simplify collecting food and water [2:3]. Moreover, staying calm and not fearing the creatures can enhance your exploration experience, allowing you to enjoy the game's depth without undue stress [4:1].

By focusing on these strategies and utilizing available tools, players can effectively navigate the challenges of Subnautica and thrive in its underwater world.

For new survivors — a very general guide for survival. (No spoilers)

ORIGINAL POST

Dear survivor,

You have found yourself marooned, disoriented, and in shock at what has transpired to land you in this situation.

This can very overwhelming at first glance. It is good to acknowledge this. It means you understand the gravity of the situation.

Now what do you do about it?

Do you give up and yield yourself to cruel fate or when life knocks you down, do you stand back up?

Before making this ultimate decision I want to remind you of the S.T.O.P. method. You may remember it from your basic survival training. It's used in every survival situation whether it's finding food and water or planning your long-term survival. Here is a refresher:

S — Stay Calm. Don't panic. Gather your your thoughts and steel your nerves so you can can think clearly. Verbalize the problem, if it helps. Remember, fear is a good thing in small doses. It heightens your awareness and helps you perform better.

T — Think. You have assessed the problem. Now think about what you need to do. Establish immediate, short-term, and long-term goals. Examples: Am I in immediate danger and need to flee, if so where? How do I get food and water? Do I need any tools? How do I get a steady supply of provisions? And so on.

O — Observe. Can I use anything around me to help me meet said goals? Identify where the best places are to get raw materials, food, etc, as well as safe areas and any potential hazards. Make mental notes of the surrounding areas, landmarks, and familiarize yourself with them. If possible, can you make visual markers that you can quickly identify later on?

P — Plan. After identifying your immediate, short-term, and long-term goals — plan and prioritize them. Ask yourself, "What do I need to do to meet this goal?" Do I have all the materials that I need? Do I need extra provisions if I need to search for them? Formulate a plan to meet your highest priority goal then execute it to the best of your ability. Always be as efficient as you can on supply runs. Take only what you need to survive and any necessary equipment. Otherwise you end up wasting your resources, which risks your life needlessly. Always have a contingency plan in mind in case something catastrophic goes wrong because eventually it will.

Last, but certainly not least. We are social creatures who appreciate fine aesthetics. In your spare time, surround yourself in thought provoking items that are both mentally and visually stimulating to you. Have a companion, whether tangible or imagined. It is essential for your mental health and just may be the difference between life and death. A healthy mind is essential for a healthy body — do not neglect it.

Our distant ancestors left the oceans and evolved to live on land by consuming water. We are creatures born from the sea. The salt from the ocean is literally in your blood that is currently being pumped by your heart. This is your original home and home is where the heart is.

Every planet, every moon, every person you ever knew, and even yourself are all made from the stars blowing themselves to dust in supernovae. Think about it — the atoms in your right arm were formed from different stars than your left arm.

To me, there is something very appealing and humbling to that, perhaps even poetic. The stars are a part of us and we are a part of them.

Finally, do not underestimate the strength of the human spirit. Many generations ago, a saying was coined while we were taking our first baby steps in space, "Failure is not an option." That gives me hope that you will prevail.

Good luck.

Food and water management is going to be a big difference for you. To get you started:

Early game, you'll mostly depend on fish for food and water, so keep an eye out for "targets of opportunity", i.e., fish near/in your line of travel that you can just grab as you swim by doing other things... grab a couple every time you're out, and that way you don't find yourself dashing about desperately trying to catch and eat anything that moves because your hunger or thirst is near zero.
Different fish have different values. Cooked peepers are the best food early on. There're only 2 fish in the game better.
Don't cook fish until you're ready to eat them. Cooked fish goes bad fairly fast. Fresh fish stays in stasis until you cook or preserve it.
Salt is your friend. Grab a couple here and there (unless you find yourself with more than a handful of extra lying around taking up storage space). You can use it to preserve fish in a ready-to-eat state (for taking with you on longer trips, where you can't take cooked fish), and you can use it to make better water.
Bladderfish are common in the shallows and most other biomes. As long as you're in the shallows, though, if you have a knife, it's more efficient to get water via coral tube samples + salt = bleach. You get two waters for each bleach, and they quench more thirst than the filtered water you get from bladderfish.
You can overfill your hunger meter, but not water. Don't drink more water than you need, or you're wasting it. Overcharging hunger only works for the first thing you eat that puts you over 100. If you eat a nutrient bar when you're at 95, you'll be at 170. If you eat a peeper at 170, you'll still be at 170.
Later on, you'll get the means to grow renewable food options like bulbo trees and marblemelons - use them to top up food and water whenever you return to base, and you won't need to make/use as much bottled water or prepared food.

If you build a bioreactor for power early on:

In the same way that different fish have different food values, different substances have different energy values in the reactor.
Don't use bad fuel or you'll waste a lot of time just trying to keep the reactor full and producing power. Early early game, acid mushrooms are about your best option (unless you have the means to propagate and grow gel sacks - either way, you want exterior grow beds), or basically any fish (grav trap makes it easy to catch lots). Creepvine is a terrible choice.
Once you get alien containment up and running, you can just breed fish for fuel. Oculus is the best, but reginalds and peepers are also solid options.

Get a grav trap and drop it near your life pod. It helps a lot with food and water in the early game when you're living out of your pod, and can come in handy later in the game for certain resources.

Here's some ways I stay alive in hardcore mode:

A reaper will kill you instantly if you are below 80% health, so never go where you might encounter a reaper if your health is below 80.
Bring a medical kit (or a few) with you.
Stay out of the dunes, and avoid the crash zone once you got everything you need from the Aurora.
Once you get a stasis rifle, keep it with you.
When you need to enter the Aurora, enter the crash zone through the safe shallows and once you get there, stay right up against the Aurora, near the surface of the water. Reapers usually stay out of the shallow part of the crash zone. Same with the mountains; stay at the surface.
Always keep your vehicle at full integrity, and have a charged repair tool with you.

Just don't take big risks. If a leviathan is in your sight, get out of there. I haven't been killed in hardcore mode yet, so hopefully this is good advice.

>if youre scared of going inside the aurora, you can just stay at like 1/0m and the reaper at the front probably wont kill you because its usually at deep depths and sometimes quite far away(afaik that reaper is not even from the crash zone, but instead from the bulb zone). if you wanna be extra prepared bring either an stasis rifle or seamoth with perimeter defense

>if youre really scared of the lava zone you can bring an cyclops with ion cells, a shield, and thermal reactor, and you can mostly ignore the sea dragons

yourboiquirrel · 3 years ago

actually im fairly certain that between the front and the back of the aurora(looking from the lifepod) there are no reapers and you can use that to farm titanium(metal salvage) if you go too far to the front or back you might agro an reaper though

Beginners guide to subnautica [no spoilers]

Posted by Cultthemelonshark · in r/subnautica · 5 years ago

To keep this without spoilers, I won’t go into endgame, I will only speak of early game. So, you start in a life pod that’s on fire. The voice will tell you the details, you may want to repair this life pod later on, as it can give you radio to progress in the story. If you go up the top, you’ll see a ship that appears crashed, if you go down, you’re greeted with an ocean full of creatures, don’t go too far out though, you’ll be greeted with a unfriendly surprise! Swim with the fish and have fun, trust me, do it while you can (before you experience the real experience of subnautica). This beginners guide can be continued in the comments by others who play subnautica (no spoilers please!) (I am not a mod, nor am I any kind of admin in this subreddit, I want to share what the OG players have experienced into a guide for new players who joined this subreddit! I was one once, too!)

That wreck gave me the idea of creating multiple oxygen tanks for emergencies. Eventually I decided to keep a backup tank with me at all times. One day, It saved my life when my Seamoth was destroyed down in >!the Lost River. That juvenile ghost leviathan that haunts one of the exit caves!< gave me a pounding and forced me into crush depth. When my Seamoth exploded, I just about shit my pants. Luckily, the young beast lost interest and let me go, but I wasn’t off the hook yet. I had to swim out of the cave and about 600 meters up without the protection or the comfort of a Seamoth. I was, by all means, NOT calm at all. I held the W key for sweet life and prayed to the merciful water mother that I’d make it. When my oxygen ran low, I swapped tanks and kept paddling for dear life. With mere seconds on the clock, I reached the surface of the ocean and looked out into the infinite horizon. Never have I been comforted by such a sight until that moment. After a long and terrifying swim back to base, I thanked my lucky stars and called it a night. I never let go of my backup tank after that.

Lights are your friend. My current hardcore run I'm playing with the filmic graphical setting ao nights are very dark, and a flashlight makes things actually doable.

Also, there's an item called a lightstick that's as good as the flashlight, placeable on any surface, and doesn't run out of power. Use it to light up the area around your base/pod when you gain the ability to use them, to make the immediate area more comfortable.

The best thing you can do is what hominids have always done; learn what lives in each biome by exploring them during the day. The animals of subnautica don't migrate, so if you find an area (like safe shallows or kelp forest) just memorize the threats you'd expect to find there, such as stalkers, and the specific sound they make when they target you. You know nothing else is going to hurt you because you've mastered knowledge of the planet.

The other thing is, once you get a lazer cutter, go to the middle of the aurora's port side and head towards the nose. Hug the outside wall as you go with the seaglide as you go, just to be safe. Inside is a bunch of goodies, such as a bed, that you can scan and use to skip the night entirely! Gotta take your licks and do what it takes to get there though.

Anyway, first time they popped out of the black it was only a foot or two away from me and it was just like BIG SILVER SCALES right in my face.

I finished Subnautica [Spoilers]

Posted by ExfiL_EFT · in r/subnautica · 4 months ago

Started playing a few weeks ago and I could finally finish it.

It was a great experience. True, I used the wiki a lot because I don't have that much time (or patience) to figure everything out on my own, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

I hope Subnautica 2 improves the vehicles (felt like the Cyclops was kinda useless and we're missing a seamoth upgrade/seaglide update to go faster in late game) and the Prawn smoothness, it gets stuck a lot with small stuff.

I was totally destroyed when >!The sea empress died. I felt so safe and warm with her, in so sad!< But aside form that I had a lot of joy.

I inevitably started getting bored of the leviathans and I just ignored them like a Chad, specially the Sea dragon, who seems oddly passive. I just prawned next to him and he was unbothered, bro didn't even care. So chill.

Anyhow, I'm so excited for Subnautica 2, I just hope with all my strength for it to be a graphical masterpiece

Regarding the cyclops, I honestly didn’t get it until I did a playthrough where I commited myself to using a cyclops as my main base. I don’t know why it didn’t dawn on me that I could drive around while also looking at cameras but that helped me with navigating shallow or tight spaces way easier. Also understanding the sound signature on the little mini cyclops gui to the right while driving was also a big one to make me survive better in scary areas. Basically if they go red, shut off the engine right away. But man, using a cyclops as the main base is super fun and makes exploring much more enjoyable since crafting lockers wherever I can on the upper deck makes for some good mobile storage

I would start with leaving this sub until you beat the game.

I would also not look up anything about the game. Just play it as it is meant to be and it will be a wonderful adventure. The game is tough, but there is nothing in it that cannot be figured out on your own.

Also, explore everything possible.

Holy shit, I'm almost done with the game and even I never thought of this. I just used bladder fish if I wanted to travel long distance with no oxygen. Genius

I don’t waste items on extra tanks, I use bladder fish as eating one raw gives you 15 seconds of air and so if you stack it then that’s really good. Also with a high cap air tank you can go 500 meters in one go with a seaglide

If you fix the radio in your life pod and listen to all the messages as you progress through the story, you will gain different equipments you need to go deeper without having too much trouble.

Go to the void and get the infinite capacity oxygen tank

Have 1 spare oxygen tank. Be curious. Have 2 spare bottles.

You lose water twice as fast as food, i recommend eating in your base and using salt for water. Mix salt and coral shell to make bleach from bleach you can make 2 bottles each giving 30, so 60 total. While a bladder fish gives 1 bottle of 20 so its 3 times better.

Sulfur comes from the nests of kamikaze fish.

Take your time, enjoy the game, go slow and good luck.

Also later on, sonar will help with fighting your kenophobia/thalassophobia.

And try everything, everything you unlock or find, try it, create it even if it doesnt feel too useful or important and experiment alot.
