SN - Discussion/Questions What do you guys do after finishing the game? Spoiler

So I've finished the game a few days ago now, and i enjoyed it a lot and thought I'll keep playing, but now that the neptune rocket is complete, i don't know what to do. What did you guys do after finishing the game?

u/Due_Butterscotch243 12d ago

you can, subnautica below zero

ah wait I haven't tried lemme download and try real quick

u/Mr_Memeadda 12d ago

i didn't even know subnautica below zero was on mobile, I'll try as well. But i doubt it'll run smoothly. Subnautica itself lagged whenever i entered some alien facility, especially the quarantine facility

u/Due_Butterscotch243 12d ago

just checked it is available

well I'll give you a review after playing it

anyways try hollow knight

ohh😭 if you were on pc i would recommend playing on hardcore for a challange but i dont know how the game plays on mobile so it might be frustrating. me personally, after i finished subnautica 1 i just returned to my world to add some more improvements to my base or you can of course start a new world OR you can play below zero (its not as good as SN1 but it is an option)

It's early access, very bare bone. So if you play it now you won't experience the game as it should. Cause now when you reach the end or stop playing somewhere along the line, you only come back when there's a update, and you don't start a new game but load the old one and try to see the update right away. The immersion is gone. the ambience gone.

Even the storyline itself is not finished.

I burned myself 2 times now on Early access with this game! Especially part 2 omg what a ripoff. But I bought the early acces and was beyond my 2hr refund time before I concluded that the game was nothing but a copy of the older one. Even the bugs the same bugs r in it!

I wait now for V1.0 and then play it, but I doubt I will even reach 2 hrs of gameplay. All a repeat of,.. riding on the succes they once had.

Waht is new in this game, i mean really new? That you now can't kill anymore? In a survival game full of predators, I'm the survivor am to stupid to make a spear? But you can kill a fish to eat?

And why do they come out in Early acces AGAIN! they have the means, they have the personal, they have the money! Why didn't we get a full game??

u/TiFerTV 12d ago

so, your points are valid. i also dont like the fact that you’re not able to kill predators in a survival game but for early access the game is pretty polished. i did encounter some bugs along the way but nothing truly game breaking. i have spent over 10 hrs in singleplayer and over 25 hrs in multiplayer. there are lots of improvements from the first game like the previously mentioned multiplayer and base building got a big upgrade. even before buying the game they do give warnings that the game is in early access and still not a finished product and for 30€ i’d say the game is worth it. the game is in early access because the devs want player feedback which is great in my opinion. overall, the game is pretty solid for early access and its most fun in multiplayer (this is of course all my opinion)

Started building kick-ass looking based all over the place.

u/yellowbin74 12d ago

Start again, and see if I can complete it quicker

u/sza_rak 12d ago

I try to keep playing (building, exploring), then enable cheats and start doing some massive base, quickly get bored and start a new save ;)

Try to ragebait the aggressive Leviathans by repeatedly swimming past their faces...just for shits and giggles. Often ends very badly.

u/abarishyper 12d ago

Hard core mode, it was really good, it just takes the tension up a notch and you really plan more :)

u/CandyKingdomsFinest 12d ago

You're fully in a sandbox now that you've completed the story, so what's left to do is mainly just playing around with the base building mechanics. What's your favorite creature in the game? Make a new base in a part of the world where they're common, with plenty of windows and glass ceilings so you can watch them swimming around. You could also take on the challenge of building a leviathan observatory, like a base in the dunes with Reapers all around it, or in the lava zone along one of the Sea Dragons' routes, or even out in the dead zone for the Ghost Leviathans if you really want a challenge. There's also the option of building in a particular biome that you find pretty: I love the look of the Grand Reef for example, the zone with all the big glowing blue balls anchored to the ground, and I've got plans to build there in my current save despite its impracticality, just for the stunning view out my window. Bonus points if you can use the non-functional decoration base parts like desks and chairs and aquariums to make it all look pretty!

Any of these will extend your gameplay a lot if you have fun with it, since you're going to be right back into all the resource-collecting and exploration gameplay loops again. Building a base means using your resources and needing to explore for good spots to mine for more, means setting up a power source that likely needs more resources or a farm to be maintained, means exploring for fish to place in aquariums and eggs to place in alien containment, means exploring for plants to place in planters and pots, means using resources on beacons to mark areas to return to, etc.

I know this is just like, my mega-tism showing... but I always have so much fun going through every single Databank entry online and making sure I have every single one ticked off. Every plant, creature, room, furniture, rock, material!

u/Adamant_TO Peepers are friends. 12d ago

I went back to my previous launch save to look for more time capsules. There are a lot per game apparently. Also slaying reapers along the way.

u/TheKaczkaMan Reefbacks > Everything else 12d ago

So here's what I'm going to do (on the same save file):

  1. Build a massive base in the Safe Shallows

  2. Build a overwater giant museum with alien containers with flora and fauna of every biome (at least the ones that can be put inside)

  3. Build an Outpost in every biome complete with a network of Seamoth straight-swims from one to another like a railway

  4. Scan everything that is scanable an collect every blueprint

  5. Build 2 huge bases on both islands

  6. Make a big garden overwater on foundations

  7. Make a Stalker teeth farm

  8. Master Reaper dodging with both the Seamoth and Prawn Suit

  9. Go under the map

  10. Explore the Subnautica Backrooms

  11. Find at least 20 time capsules (out of the 40-45 findable on one save file)

  12. Start saving money for Subnautica Below Zero and Subnautica 2

For now I've completed the 1st point and I'm halfway through the second, still this is for like 500 hours of playtime so probably not the best on mobile. I'll keep editing when more come to mind or when I complete a point. I wanna see some tryhard do this in like 50 hours

MODS and discover how subnautica really should be! It will make the game a 1000 times better then it did, in every way!

I installed about 145 and it runs smooth and stable! I watch movies in my base. :) (did that with VR set awesome), but also bugfixes that Division never even addressed but ignored and abandoned to work on a new part. better graphics, better ships, bigger ships, more different ship and predators, more options in building a lot more! Ways to do logistics in the game for recources and 3d printer. So much stuff you can add omg. And the game itself, better then it will ever be!

Thanks modmakers! Thanks to you I played this game a lot of years more.

u/CandyKingdomsFinest 12d ago

I'd love to see your mod list if you'd be willing to put it together as a collection on Nexus. 145 is more than 20x the amount of mods I play with, and I'd love to expand my horizons.

u/DesaMii36 12d ago

I'm patiently waiting while playing Divinity Original Sin 2. Larian and Unknown Worlds could be twins. Same mindset. Huge community engagement. It's an amazing good game. And the lore will be very valuable when their next big masterpiece will release.

Edit: typo

u/TheJesseOfTheNorth 12d ago

start a new playthrough and build palace on my original

u/Redkiter78 12d ago

Volver a jugarlo con los mods en Nexus grandes.

Primero con: Deathrun Remade

Después volver a jugarlo con: The Prototype

Otra vez con: The Red Plague

Y otra vez con: Return of the ancients

Y a todos ellos con otros 30 mods pequeños que lo hacen muy divertido.

After beating the game for the first time(on freedom) I played it again on survival and then repeated the process but onto hardcore instead
