    It is worth mentioning, during a critical failure, turning off the reactor and batteries will prevent your junction boxes from taking further water damage. Fixing all the J-boxes and other systems can take time, so keeping the boxes healthy can really speed things along during the repair. This also prevents crew from being shocked trying to fix electrical systems outside of their skill range so everyone can grab a screwdriver and get fixing.

      I would suggest having local batteries as backup power for essential systems so your turrets can keep shooting for a while or you can still move a little bit to avoid damage even if your reactor is down completely or the wires broke.

    Protip: going stealth can be a better economic option. Most alerts are made by the sonar so use directional ping and stick to the roof or seafloor to avoid the infested main pathway, secondly when going up try to go up while having low engine speed as engines can be hard from quite far away depending on the speed. Here is the so called detection onion
    Sonar- if heard from 100-120 meters away will cause creatures to lock on your sub, and other creatures to be attracted to your position
    Gunfire- can be heard from 50-60 meters if turrets are used.
    Engines- depending on the speed, engines can be audible as far as 50 meters if full power is used
    Visual range- where most creatures can detect your submarine and attack it without any external noise, usually quite low range. Compare it to the periscope zoom if you'd like (note: molochs have no eyesight meaning if you are quiet they won't attack you, which is why I feel kinda bad killing them as they think your sonar is echolocation by abyssal creatures and resort to ramming it to protect their young.
    Additional notes:
    Injuries are cheaper when treated at an outpost
    Its not stealing if you don't get caught, you can take items from an outpost, go into a match and deconstruct them and craft something else( the guards won't attack you in the outpost when you go into ur sub)
    Nuclear depth charge(or railgun) wrecks to clear all the husks and make looting far easier.
    When clearing a thalamus, use the smg or plasma cutter to remove the green bois and kill the brain to actually kill the creature ( thallami are just really advanced colonies of ballast flora that were given years to fully take over a submarine)
    In the great sea, shoot the piezo crystals from afar with coilgun, they will commit allahu akbar
    Cargo deliveries can be incredibly op, place multiple racks ( to like 40 crate slots), then you can do transport missions for 5k or 4k marks.
    It's always more efficient to craft items than buy them, using an engineer to make fuel rods is cheaper and has higher quality than buying them
    The hammerhead's head is armoured, shoot the sides to deal more damage, shooting the charybdis and endworms mouth deals way more damage. Sometimes clearing the abyss and going under the level is safer than going through the level itself( remember they can respawn outside the cold caverns)

    • @THINKMACHINE
      @THINKMACHINE ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'd add that when fighting a thalamus or pirate ship, if you can't drop a railgun shell or depth charge on them, piercing coilgun ammo is king as it'll let you snipe the brain or hostile crew through walls, while at the same time breaking those walls very effectively. The same applies to ordinary wrecks, _and beacons_ (it's not expensive to weld the holes closed again after all).
      Something to consider as well with pirates is that it can be worthwhile to fix up their boat for your own uses, especially if you have another mission that is time consuming enough to warrent leaving a couple of people on it to get all the loot collected together and to pilot the sub over to wherever you end up parked while the rest of the crew get busy with the second mission. Pirate submarines make for handy decoys for bigger creatures too.

    • @Huskmini
      @Huskmini ปีที่แล้ว +6

      if your playing just the 2 of you in a small ship with maybe a bot or 2 then make sure she has access to weapons.
      For example with me and my friend we are currently going through our first campaign, after my first death I told him to knick my ID Card so he has the Captain's access to the ship which lets him access the armoury so he can get ammo and guns when he needs.
      And i'll stress this a little more, start with the smallest submarine you can, and then spawn in some bots. I don't know if you have played the tutorials but as the player/captain you can give bots orders. For example whenever I play I always give a mechanic the order to Fix Leaks, Repair Damaged Systems and then Reload Ammo. This order means the Mechanic will first stop any hull breaches by repairing them, then if there is no breaches it will go around and repair everything like junction boxes, reactor, engine etc, and then he will replace the ammo for the guns so my security officers can shoot without having to step off the gun.
      You get used to Barotrauma very quickly I reckon, ive got only 30 hours on the game and I bought it in August 2022. And just today I put 8 hours into it, just make sure you have a bot mechanic or engineer. They are very handy and have simultaneously saved me from death multiple times.
      Edit: Also forgot to mention this, please make sure when you are engaging any threat when piloting the submarine you engage it in a way that you letting your weapons deal with it. So for the dugong submarine there is a gun on the bottom and top left at first and a mounting point for a gun if you buy it. That means everytime you are trying to shoot the enemy you need to either be directly above them or under them to the right, if that makes sense

    You can destroy the harpoons that the flesh gun shot at you, whether via welding tool or plasma cutter, i think bullets and other weapons work too but haven't test it out yet...
    If your submarine is fast enough, it can escape the hook via getting enough distance away.
    You additionally can use ballast pump as your advantage, by opening the ballast door 24/7 or have a wiring system that automatically open them upon breach. Unless the breach is inside the ballast.
    Creatures like hammerheads emit strong noises that can be caught by your sonar monitor in passive mode, same with other creatures but Hammerheads are easily recognizable roaming around when you're crab walking across the sea floor.
    Try to get better at wirings, everyone should be able to connect wires from one to another. Do this by understanding components and use them to further improve your ship.
    Every creature emits a distinctive noise, turn up the volume, watch your step and arm yourself upon hearing said noises.
    Crawler and Husk Crawler have different trait, to tell apart whether or not they are husked or not, you can easily look at their jaw for any stingers. Husked Crawler tends to be less coordinate and move by themselves and crawler always go in group if there's more than Three. Upon noticing your ship, the one that noticed along with those that follows it will attack the ship together, Husked Crawler despite being in close proximity to each other will only attack you individually. (Unless the other one also notice too)
    'Latcher' is an ambush abyss creature that will attack your submarine, it is very hard to get away as it swam faster than even tier 3 scout submarines and has an attack that drags it's prey down into the abyss. However, it will retreat upon taking heavy damage whether it is a rail gun shell, exploding coilgun ammunition, laser or shredder chaingun ammunition rounds.

    As someone who spent 50+ hours in editor and built my own ships: you want to open ballast hatches automatically with water detector. For this set "1" (default) on true output and change "0" to " " on false so it won't stuck when dry. For this u dont need new submarine or editor at all. Just find/craft/buy detector in-game and connect it to existing hatch (dont forget to unplug that movement detector combo tho)
    You can also dive (ba-dum-tsss) into movement detector mechanics and logic components (specifically "AND" and "NOT") to make your solo playthrough MUCH easier and more manageable because... well bots are stupid (-_-(
    Oh and also about bots. Don't forget about "Shift"+"MMB" to prevent them from taking/using things u don't want them to use (like that closest diving suit to ur character)

    My priorities on dealing with emergency is:
    1. Stop, completely stop and turn off sonar, reposition autopilot on place where you already are to prevent situations like this: where you fighting big crawler that spawn a lot of eggs and you constantly drive in this minefield.
    2. Kill all enemies if possible. Try to land precise shots to not consume much power.
    3. Repair hull. You will have troubles in repairing other things if you are flooded.
    4. Repair everything and try to slowly swim towards goal/exit.

    Batteries is a good way to use as backup power or to set it up so your gun reloads faster by changing the scale on that supercapacitor.

    The biggest tip i can give, is that you can wear a doctor or medics uniform with a toolbelt ro free up 9 extra slots of inventory space, combine that with an exo suit and cargo scooter and thats 41 things you can hold at one given point in time.
    That and combined with the fact of if you use your toolbelt for a cutter, welder, wrench, screwdriver, crowbar, and oxygen, then fill a doctors uniform with opium saline and bandages vastly increases your survivability and utility on missions. You can buy PUCS at certain coalition outposts with a high enough reputation. With all of that gear you should be able to keep a gun with ammo handy in your hotbar, and now in almost ANY situation you at least have a fighting chance in emergencies. Your clothes are for your healthiness, the toolbelt for the sub, and you at least wont drown/pop immediately because you have a PUCS.
    .....At least up to 6000m, after that, become real acquainted with the abyss suit.

    Worst situation I’ve been in, hmmmm. At the bottom of the abyss in my typhon 2, I saw the pirates sunk so being me I wanted to follow them, this was a big mistake. As I saw these strange sound waves on my sonar with a deep rumble, I knew what this was so I was rather terrified, but I said with my double coil gun, flak cannon, coil gun, chain gun, and pulse laser, “I’d be fine”. I was not fine, I got attacked from the top, Artie Do little got sucked into the water, our sub got propelled upwards when the end worm was below us, escaping the abyss, with little Artie, a river flowing down his leg, at half health. Than once at the top, it followed me out of the abyss, which I thought was impossible? I’t fell behind me and I got attacked by a black moloch, after my security officer shot at a moloch bebe, I survived, made it to the abandoned outpost and killed pirates with a skip in my step. All the while holding my Ironic and Dead emergency and preparedness edition book by my side like the Bible.

      The big one to watch out for is falling into the Aybss, If your sinking fast down there, focus on repairs as you will be sinking faster than monsters anyways.
