Time to re-enact The Poseidon Adventure
Unknown Worlds’ early access make-Joe-wee-a-little-by-having-eels simulatorSubnauticareceived an update which massively builds on the base-building sections of the game as well as adding a new biome.
The page showing the update is incredibly fancy and interactive, and there is also a video up at the top should you want to see them in action.
The biggest changes are to the base flooding system – should your base take damage and be breached, water can flood in and eventually drown you. It’s always been a source of utter terror for me, but now the deeper you are and the smaller the base, the faster it will flood. To help combat that, hermeticallysealed bulkhead doors will allow you to completely close off sections of the base until you’re able to fix them.
Alongside that, new modules to expand underwater bases have been included. The one Unknown Worlds seems most excited about is the moon pool, which will let you park your submarines right inside the base. Power generators to help power the modules have also been added.
It looks like one of the biggest updatesSubnauticahas had. The lack of real base-building up to now has been a constant problem for me, as it’s meant there is little reason to keep playing after a certain point. With this new expansion, I’m more likely to keep a save for more than 20 minutes, which is nice.
It’s still gotthose bastard eels from the pits of hellthough. Seriously kill those things with the rage of a thousand fucking suns.
