For those beginners overwhelmed by the intense learning curve this game has, i recommend joining multiplayer first, the community is welcoming and isnt that toxic regarding new players, also, the easiest class would be security, your only job is to kill things and manager turret as well as munition crafting
Best thing I could say to any new player: Talk to your crew. If you are unsure about something or don't know what to do, ask your crew. If you want to do something specific, again, talk to your crew. Far too many new players join in public lobbies, don't want to bother anyone so they just guess what to do, cause a bunch of problems and get banned. Nearly any problem can be solved with proper communication.
Thanks for making this vid, I haven’t played the game in almost 3 years and there are so many new features I feel like a brand new player despite having 150h in the game
I started to play the game yesterday. One tip I can give to people who are managing the reactor is DON'T FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY PUT TWO FUEL TANKS IN AT ONCE!! I assumed that it would replace the one that was almost done, but it instead set the reactor on fire, and thus I was the first one dead on the sub.
1:02 it has been years since I've seen another bioluminescent cave (this cave gives you the hallucination affliction and it's different from psychosis)
Holy shit the steam page does *not* really communicate how much depth this game has. I thought it was like Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime meets Phasmaphobia. A more casual party game than anything else. Thanks for a great overview!
Last time I played this game was when it was still in early access a few years ago, definitely gonna give it a watch and see if I can find some people to play with again.
Thank you this guide was very helpful. This video covered most of the basic questions I had. I did want to ask how viable playing campaign is with only 2 players? I don't mind if it's difficult as me and my friend enjoy that but rather if it makes it too tedious or sucks alot of fun out of the game. I've heard people say that you have to play captain and medic would that lock us of interesting mechanics/talents?
Solo or with friends are both fine. However you should follow the ship recommendations with crew sizes. I.e if it says 5-8, then you should have 2 of you + 6 bots filling the other roles. I would suggest 2-3 mechanics and engineer and maybe some security to crew the guns. You will need to use the bot radial commands to issue orders so they do the jobs you want them to do.
“Beginner guide” is more like “already know exactly what you are doing and want some extra tips. Played this game for like an hour so far and I have ZERO clue what’s going on. I’m intrigued and want to learn, but I can’t find anywhere to even get me started
Love your guides man! They are super helpful! Is there a video guide you've made or can make that helps with crew management for solo players? Ive got the basics down for telling them to fix leaks or man certain stations. But some better guidance on say having a bot crew watch my back in a cave. Some tips and tricks kind of thing.
Hey, idk if you'll see this but this video helped out a lot, been off the game for awhile now and its like a new game. I was wondering if you could possibly make a video on more in depth things like these new beacon stations and the traps... There where some I could figure out but then there where some that I couldn't and kept dieing. Also would it be possible to show a tip on clearing a nest? My friend and I tried but we couldn't even handle 3 mudraptors before dieing. Thank you for the videos!
I got you ;) Beacon stations - th-cam.com/video/YAeI8TxaTC0/w-d-xo.html Some tips that include nest missions - th-cam.com/video/z4BdLh4NeYs/w-d-xo.html
For Alien scan ruins - You will receive 3 scanners upon the start of a mission that will be in a metal crate inside your cargo hold. These scanners also double as a handheld sonar, so no need to take one when you have the scanner in your inventory. You will then need to navigate to the different locations that are marked (check the scan sonar), then equip it in your hands and place it down on the wall, after the scan is complete, you need to pick it back up, scan the rest, then bring the scanner back onboard. Mission complete :D, hope it helps
I have to ask, what are your thoughts on sub mods, specifically subs that other player have made and are sharing, VS vanilla Subs? As someone new should I go with a sub someone else has made or one of the vanilla subs for the campaign as a first time? P.S I am a solo player and there is no wrong answer. By the way, this was a awesome video.
So the whole modding community really adds flare to this game. And there are some really amazing sub builders out there who have pushed the utility and usefulness of the submarines. My personal take on it is i prefer vanilla subs as it does make the game harder. Some of the subs you will see in the workshop just do everything, which does make the game easier. So i hope that makes a decision easier for you. And thank you for the kind words.
@@doctorj4050 As someone who enjoys the game but isn't as completely familiar with it as the video maker, as a beginner I would reccomend you try some modded subs at least initially. The Iroh is the best one, but there are others that work well too, and some are very fun for just being goofy and stupid. The vanilla subs are fine, but trying to juggle all the upgrades that are *required* to advance in the game, knowing when to save to buy a new sub, or when to upgrade your current one, some subs having blind spots on turret placement making some encounters annoyingly impossible instead of simply "difficult", it can quickly ruin the experience for you and make you not want to play anymore. I would advise starting with a modded sub, and then using a vanilla one once you feel comfortable with the game's mechanics.
Im looking to drag about 4 of my friends into a submarine with me. Im in the very early stages of learning this game so if anyone could pleaseeee drop some tips that would help me out it would be much appreciated. Im looking forward to the hilarious and stressful environment this game is going to put us in. For a 5 man crew what would you recommend us play as?
"Few special items that are only available from certain factions..." - shows talent-unlockable item; That's not the only thing the devs introduced to make even more talents obsolete. As if talent trees weren't already almost universally determined for most players in terms of which conflicting talents are worth taking...
Getting 70 rep points is far, FAR harder than levelling a character to craft an item, lmao. I think the option of getting those items through factions is cool, but I've never seen an oppurtunity to level myself up with the Honkboys or Huskies more than 1 or 2 points at a time.
Great guide. This game seems amazing but how does anyone find good people to play with? I have trouble finding one person lol you need tons for this game!?
@@IronicandDead Thanks, I needed that push from someone. I got one friend to play with, will need to persuade more, but I hope the singleplayer experience is good too
haven't played this, but i can imagine subnautica players crying about how stressful the game is, while barotrauma players trying their absolute hardest to pass a level while not setting the sub on fire or injecting others with opioids
Just checked, all still working. However I had to put on stronger security measures a few months back. So your account will need a registered mobile number and 2-Factor authentication to join in. Unfortunately if you don't have these, then that's why you might get an error. Hope this helps.
I mean it looks like they walk pretty normally considered they are in a submarine on a planet which has a lower gravity than earth. I only see them flop around when they're shot or hit by something (logically)

It just released. Lol. Nice

lets goo
Hype for release version 1.0.
Lol. As of today, version 1.0 dropped
It was all timed ;)
Can u resume what new things they add with this version? Or the dont change anything? I'm haven't read anything at all :c

i have completed the campaign a second time in 1.0 version and i must say, the ending was awesome made

Fun fact: Barotrauma means a noun for medicine, specificly. An injury caused by change in air pressure (affecting typically the lungs or the ears)
I used to watch you every time you stream on steam you need to come back your content is very great
I would love if you did a livestream, your tutorials are great.

Will this new update be compatible with Enhanced Europa?
couldn't say, you would have to ask the dev of that mod

Cool game but way too overwhelming for single player
Any mods that you would recommend that makes the game even harder/scarier. Something like the real sonar mod.
Some of my friends tried to play with that and they said the injuries "real sonar" caused were incurable.

Why does everyone look so goofy and just flop around all over the place? Dealbreaker for me.
that's all part of the fun and charm of the game. when your submarine hits something full force you get chucked around like a ragdoll
I mean it looks like they walk pretty normally considered they are in a submarine on a planet which has a lower gravity than earth. I only see them flop around when they're shot or hit by something (logically)
Its a lot scarier than youd think when you know you are easy the thrash around and giant abyss creatures eat half of medbay
The ragdoll physics make up for its complexity. Once you figure things out the game is incredibly fun and challenging.
My hecking game must have realistic physics!!!
