She never goes in too deep. Like with the mushroom forest, just scratched on the edge and got satisfied. Not a single cave system explored. Not to mention you can get into Jellyshroom biome as soon as you get the basic seamoth...
literally couldn't ask for a better first time in the dunes... hearing the iconic message being played with the barely visible shadow of a reaper in the distance gave me goose bumps, this will forever be one of my favorite games of all time and seeing people play it for the first time brings me immense amounts of joy
I just have to say, I appreciate that Gem doesn't "overreact" and freak out like all the people that claim to have thalassophobia. I realize many do have that, but a lot of people just ham it up for the views. That can be funny and entertaining at times, but Gem is unapologetically herself and I love that. I'm sure there will be moments of panic and fear, which I do look forward to, but it seems like she is truly enjoying the game as it's meant to be enjoyed. Take things at your own pace and enjoy the experience because you will only get to play this game for the first time, once. All I hope for moving forward is that chat stops spoiling things for her. Mentioning specific creatures or locations by name, like asking if she has seen a Reaper yet or telling her that this is Reaper territory especially, IS DEFINITELY A SPOILER! If you're in chat, PLEASE don't do that with any other creatures or locations. In the last episode SO MANY people started telling her that the alien structure was a gun, before she figured it out and/or became obvious! A big part of the enjoyment with this game comes from exploring and discovering the unknown. Help when she asks for it, but be as vague as possible! Spoiling the game through any means not only lessens the experience/impact for her when discovering something she was completely unaware of, but also for the viewers who want to see the completely blind reaction to it.
I agree, really well said. I like that she isn't pretending to be scared of things just because people are saying she will be scared. It's so obvious when streamers fake reactions and I'd rather just see a natural playthrough. And you absolutely read my mind with the last part. I saw early in the chat someone mention the repear and it annoyed me. Atleast be a little cryptic about things... Like just say "has she seen IT yet"... We all know what you mean
You’re entirely right, but this is only necessary because streaming lends itself to this problem. When I compare offline playthroughs of this kind of game with live-streamed ones, it’s quickly apparent that it takes serious moderator resources to keep people from being people. What’s worth more? The magic of the game experience, or the immediate convenience of a chat’s guidance in a singleplayer game?
Subnautica with Thalassophobia is the new "Seeing colors for the first time with colorblind glasses". Suddenly every major influencer was colorblind LOL
Fun fact: The voice actors ordering a sandwich are actually from a UA-cam channel called Neebs Gaming, they played the game really early on before the story was complete so the game devs asked them to do voice acting in the game. I can really recommend watching their playthrough, it is really hilarious, they make up their own story with their own characters. 😂
I go back and watch their playthrough all the time! I was kinda sad when nobody in her chat seemed to know about Neebs though. Their cameo is so good lol
For the respawning question, inorganic resources generally don't respawn. However, if your game resets a part of your map (used to happen with updates leading people to think resources respawned), then it will generate the resources again. But the devs have said that they don't respawn, although small fish do respawn slowly.
@@MarEvayave it's also one of the negatives of early access. I remember there being a bit of confusion about whether the game had terraforming. It used to, in very early versions, but the devs had to remove it because it was causing too many bugs.
@@lisahenry20 I wish they still did have terraforming, maybe I could rescue Steve, my Prawn Suit :($ But yeah no if it was gonna make the game too buggy, I totally understand. I'd rather make a Steve 2.0 than bug out my game to the point of being annoying.
Nothing in the game respawns, except for the reapers. All resources, including fish, are finite. Use the scanner room to remove all the limestone in range, see if any respawn.

I *think* the 'ham and cheese sandwich/regular' interaction was something that was added in response to a youtuber who did this whole roleplay subnautica playthrough with a customer support guy from the company back on earth who kept getting distracted by super mundane things while he was fighting for his life.
The “ham and cheese sandwich” guys name is appsro an the guy in the background is neebs they both come from the UA-cam channel neebs gaming your are correct during the play through they did apprso was playing and neebs was playing a customer support guy who would commonly get distracted by things like cataracts, the name of a beacon or submersible, the name of a creature, scanning things trying to kill appsro, Mexican pointy boots, and why apprso doesn’t do farming while not on call with neebs. Neebs is commonly the one causing appsro to seem like an idiot in the series because neebs doesn’t act like he understands the need to focus on survival rather then researching or nagging appsro to get o2 tanks while appsro is focused on gettin resources to help him survive. Neebs gaming was one of the UA-camr beta testers that the creators of subnautica brought in near the beginning of the games beta and neebs gaming played all the way up to when they added the games ending after that the creators of the game loved the world they had created in their game so much they gave neebs gaming an important but partially joke message because they wanted to show both the characters that appsro and neebs had created so they had appsro be The one attempting to be giving you the actual information you need while neebs is in the background being a distraction to both the player and apprso making it comical in a way.

@@Action_E_Gaming Reading your comment was a fun trip down memory lane ✨ I would also add that during Appsro's playthrough of Subnautica, when Neebs was not "at work" to take his Appsro's "distress call" sometimes two other members of Neebs Gaming would feature. Doraleous (or Thick?) would answer Appsro's distress call as a janitor for Alterra and while Appsro was battling for his life asking for help, Dora would just moan about how he keeps finding piles of sick every where, and has to keep covering them over with towels. By the third time this is happening, Dora mentions he is running out of towels🙂 And also Simon would answer the call as a pizza delivery guy delivering pizza, who knew nothing. _"I don't know what's going on man, this phone was ringing so I picked it up!"_ .

I am loving this play through, Gem! Your base is looking great, and glass in an underwater sea base is always worth it. As a side note: I watched the guys at Neebs Gaming play through this forever ago, so when I heard them talking at 1:13:11 it was such an awesome surprise. It’s so nice to get an unexpected earful of some of my favorite gamers while watching another favorite gamer’s stream!
AAAA!! I am being so fed this week this is one of my two favorite games!! Love how calm and cool gem was about the first stream but man am i also looking forward to her realizing its a horror game 😂❤
So... in the real world, red is the first color to go at a depth of about 33 feet (10m) or one atmosphere of pressure. It then works through the color spectrum until it reaches blue. As for O2 usage: Real world scuba divers use a rule of thirds that is 1/3 going in, 1/3 coming out, and 1/3 as emergency reserve to manage their air.
1:53:00 While that sounds better and more practical, your other hand is crucial for movement because to move in different directions (like left and right or random directions to avoid hostile creatures) you need that free hand, otherwise, you’d have to turn your whole body using only your legs to simply turn left, which is more annoying than only being able to use one hand imo
The air bladder is incredibly valuable. It can provide a little bit of oxygen directly to you, but it's usually better to use it to propel you to the surface. So the oxygen can help in a cave, but in open water it's best to keep you from drowning if you forget how deep you are or how little oxygen you have left. Even if you do keep track of those, you can also use it strategically to stay deep longer than would normally be safe. I think it propels you up approx 100-150m if I remember correctly?
Yeah I really rate the Air Bladder. +15 seconds of air (which sometimes really makes a difference. Even for casual "gardening out side my base" when you think you can make the airlock, and don't). But also for the rapid ascent, which I think does about 170m. I always carry two.
You can leave the scanner room running as long as you want if you just build more solar panels. I built mini bases in most of the biomes just to have a scanner room, and four solar panels did the trick for each one (I LOVE the HUD chip, my favourite tech thing in the game).
I think she did fantastically well exploring the LP17 Wreck. I struggled on that one a lot (through several playthroughs, across all platforms). I thought for sure we were about to witness a mishap. In critique, she took ages to spot the first door on the right wall despite going in and out several times, to the point where I sat up in my chair and started DiCaprioPointing wondering if they'd patched the game and blocked over the entrance point. Until I wound it back and realised she just hadn't looked at that wall at any point. And she went past the Modification Station Fragments so many times, which I found quite agitating, despite me also pointing (normal pointing). Always direct to the corner with the arm, or the hole in the floor, every time. You have to "paint" each wall and floor in turn, with your nose. As if your little snoz is a scanner itself 👍(the prompt distance is shorter than a lot of player seem to realise) But in her praise, her mapping and getting in and out was excellent. Her line out, even on the first exit (after the stairs issue), really was the "racing path", just straight lines to each point (no need to orientate or rotate herself). And she learned the routes and connections instantly as soon as she experienced them. A summary of what knowledge she'd gained each trip, and straight back in. Bravo 💪 ✨(while narrating for our entertainment too)
Power does NOT go down simply because it's night, it's simply not charging at night. Your spotlight takes power and the scanner technically takes a tiny amount even when turned off (way more when actively scanning). Each power type has a different supply; solar gives 75, for example. Either have enough solar panels that you have enough reserves to survive the night, or add alternative power sources. My strategy: 1) 2-4 solar panels early game (below 100m they quickly become ineffective). These are passive and cheap, but only create power during the day and provide the lowest power supply, so you need enough to survive the night if you use a lot of power or do a lot of crafting at nighttime. 2) 1 thermal reactor if a vent is nearby or I can string transmitters to it (which you learned in the mushroom forest), otherwise I'll skip it. This is a most powerful optic that is passive day or night, but you are reliant on having or reaching a heat source. 3) 1+ bioreactor (which take fish, seeds, plants, even eggs); sometimes more if I want to have lots of things like lights, etc. This is easily the most powerful power source in early/mid game, it just requires catching or producing organic matter to fuel it, so it's not passive like the first two. Different organic matter provides different amounts of energy, too. Veterans min-max the organic matter to make the most out of it and thus several bioreactors are totally fine for the entire game, even with a full-sized base. 4) 1 ABCXYZ power source (you haven't learned yet) in the mid/late game. The most powerful option of them all, completely passive and dependent on nothing but your ability to craft it's components. It's just expensive and usually found much later in the game. I like having a variety of power sources just to be on the safe side, especially if I have lots of power-consuming decoration/features. Power is consumed in the order that it was created, so if you build solar>thermal>bioreactor>4th then the power gets consumed in that order as well, which makes the 4th more like "emergency" reserves if built that way. Your seaglide light will consume a small amount of power, but usually not enough to worry about; you generally only notice it above ground if using it as an actual flashlight; propulsion consumes the bulk of power underwater. Vessel lights do not consume power when idle, so don't worry about the seamoth. Light and sound can attract hostile attention, but most creatures ignore it.
I love watching ppl play this game, and you’re my favorite gaming creator, so I’m really enjoying watching you play subnautica! I do wish you were given the option to change or mute the eating noises, though. I have misophonia and I have to power through it every time the character eats lol.
The massive wreck had one additional area you didn't find. If I remember correctly, the vent tunnels you crawled through that led between larger rooms had a 3rd branch off that led to another room. I believe there is just one piece of decoration you can get there. Otherwise, I think the wreck is 100% explored. Also, none of the "claw/finger" arms that chat was talking about are scannable there at any point in the game. Those are the default arms for the machine they go to and a remnant from early release where you needed like 20 different basic arm fragments to unlock it. But they removed that feature when Subnautica V2.0 was released late 2022 and made it so you just need to scan 4 body fragments itself. There are special arms you CAN scan, just not the default/basic ones, and probably won't find them until after you have the default machine unlocked.. However, the basic arms were left in the game even though you can't scan them anymore.
hon you have food growing in your base no need to use your water when at home. just eat marblemelon and bulbo tree and keep the water and salt to cure food for journeys. slice marblemelons for 4 seeds each. plant 4 in a pot. make 2 pots of these and you'll never go hungry thirsty or run out of melons. eat 6 slice 2 for 8 seeds and replant. they grow fast. oh and I agree, what's up Alterra why doesn't the helm have a light on it?
Yeah I'd like to of seen more gardening. External too (Creepvine Seeds Clusters below the Moonpool for fancy lighting). Hopefully she proceeds to understand more about what each of them provide. 4 Marble Seeds in one small pot, harvest one for four seeds and eat three is a great option. Reading your comment just made me realise she never brought a Bulbo Tree seed / sample home 😞
It's always satisfying to get home and build all the unlocked blueprints you've found when exploring(!) The early game throws so much story stuff at you that it's nice to take a break and decompress (pun intended).😆
At 3:42, BE HAPPY ! the game used to be a lot "Less Obvious". In fact, as someone who's played this since it first went into Early access, let me just say you're lucky. The "Mobile Vehicle Bay" USED, to be a literal standstill because with out it, none of the larger vehicles can be made. I personally spent 3 FULL DAYS, looking for the parts. Finally the wiki page helped me. Since then, they've placed those pieces near the beginning so as to not stall your progress in the game. Also, if you don't know how to build something, assume there's a tech piece you have to build first. If you can find the "Purple Mushroom Biome" it doesn't really fill in the story much if at all. But there's lots of things to scan there that will help you out. Warning. It's scary as hell though. Worms. Euugh..
There's a *major* story beat in the purple mushroom biome that she'll get directed toward if she chooses to follow the current story markers she has. Of course nothing wrong with going out of order or finding it on her own, but there is definitely a part of the story there.
You can grow pretty much every plants you find. Underwater plants need planter that's Underwater. For the bio reactor I always use those pink mushrooms you saw on that island. Cut plants with knife to get seeds.
Love watching you play this! Ive watched Jacksepticeye and MArkiplier play it in the past so i know the story though i dont recall al the details. i played it a little myself but once the Stalkers started getting in my face i got stresed out lol - i love how casual you are about them getting up in your business! :D
You don’t know how loud I gasped then cheered when I saw you already did another Subnautica stream :D I love Subnautica streams so much!! I already missed it so badly after I’d finished ep 1 that I went back through my history and rewatched other creators old Subnautica videos lol! Though I’m totally a stream/vod watcher now, watching edited content over quieter/chill stream vods was making me want more gem vods even more haha
Her hate for Aurora is so real, but I wish she would go back and look a the sunbeam people because they're so sweet and kind to the protagonist, but the context of when she listened made her register them as mean :(
The pathfinder tool is incredibly useful if you actually remember to use it as you're going into and travelling through a cave. I almost never remember and I think most people don't, but it does its purpose significantly better than a Minecraft compass even with a lodestone.
LOL I did the exact same thing with making my base next to the stalkers and then getting them popping through the walls and chomping on my seamoth. The upside is that they will chew on your base (which does not damage the base) and drop their teeth right outside your door!
Gem, foundations, reinforced panels, and bulkheads give you improvements to your structural integrity. As chat told you, as long as you stay above 0 you are fine, but if you let your integrity drop, the base can start springing leaks you have to repair once you increase your integrity. Enough damage to the base due to low integrity, and the base implodes.
I don't think reading everything on the spot as you acquire the info is that critical. It does expand the overall experience of the game, showcasing the critical thought that went into designing not just a theoretical ocean world, but a planet with a thriving ecosystem. That much is _true,_ but the best way to play a game for the best possible experience is to play it for yourself, at your own pace. If you get to the end of this, and think it was a worthy experience overall, then the sequel is highly recommended. I think you'll like the protagonist in that one; since she's a little more fleshed out as a character, too. 😄
There's nothing stopping you from having 2 oxygen tanks to swap between while you explore wrecks. Just remember to equip them both in the seamoth to refill them.
There are several sunken wrecks around with stuff in them and around them. Including the ship. You also need to explore the islands more and every cave and trench. That is all you need unless you want more specific hints.
Every single time I see Subnautica, I think to myself, "man I need to get back into this game" Then it's also always followed by, "ah... That's why I stop playing, my heart is too weak for it"
Another great episode, maybe should've invested in the pathfinder tool though, watching you go in and out of that wreck because you couldn't make sense of where you were in it was so disorienting and frustrating lol. But you made good progress and its nice to see you enjoying the game.
I will just say, that you could imagine each alien facility as a different "Chapter" of the game. But yeah. If you can imagine it, THEY LET YOU DO IT !!!!!
Little tip for later, if you get a gel sack ( believe thats what its called they are little green balls with purple spots) plant them in an exterior grow bed because they are the best fuel for a bioreactor. You can hit them twice with your knife and then pick it up and plant the spores you get from knifing it while still using the sack for the bioreactor.
Naming your seamoth after your great grandma as part of a tradition is the sweetest and most adorable thing ever
Why is your seamoth hyperlinked to chemical apes?

Aww Gem, When you said the name of your great grandmother I burst into tears. My late grandmothers name was also Irene. Just reminded me of her, she was also passionate in directions. That is a great tradition you have!
I am loving this play through, Gem! Your base is looking great, and glass in an underwater sea base is always worth it.
As a side note: I watched the guys at Neebs Gaming play through this forever ago, so when I heard them talking at 1:13:11 it was such an awesome surprise. It’s so nice to get an unexpected earful of some of my favorite gamers while watching another favorite gamer’s stream!
She's back! It's back! My procrastination for 2 hours and a half is back!
REAL🤣
So happy you are playing Subnautica!
AAAA!! I am being so fed this week this is one of my two favorite games!! Love how calm and cool gem was about the first stream but man am i also looking forward to her realizing its a horror game 😂❤
nah big jeff is just a big puppy who has a nibble problem mate lol
The pathfinder tool _really_ comes into its own when exploring wrecks.
So... in the real world, red is the first color to go at a depth of about 33 feet (10m) or one atmosphere of pressure. It then works through the color spectrum until it reaches blue. As for O2 usage: Real world scuba divers use a rule of thirds that is 1/3 going in, 1/3 coming out, and 1/3 as emergency reserve to manage their air.
I love the back seat rules: point out stuff I was stupid and miss 😂😂😂 love it! I couldn’t find the damn beacon for so long lol
1:53:00 While that sounds better and more practical, your other hand is crucial for movement because to move in different directions (like left and right or random directions to avoid hostile creatures) you need that free hand, otherwise, you’d have to turn your whole body using only your legs to simply turn left, which is more annoying than only being able to use one hand imo
I don’t know how gem does it. Every time I saw a wide open empty space I started sweating gem just dives right in!!
tbh i'm pretty stressed by exam right now, rewatching your videos are so refreshing!
The air bladder is incredibly valuable. It can provide a little bit of oxygen directly to you, but it's usually better to use it to propel you to the surface. So the oxygen can help in a cave, but in open water it's best to keep you from drowning if you forget how deep you are or how little oxygen you have left. Even if you do keep track of those, you can also use it strategically to stay deep longer than would normally be safe. I think it propels you up approx 100-150m if I remember correctly?
Yeah I really rate the Air Bladder.
+15 seconds of air (which sometimes really makes a difference. Even for casual "gardening out side my base" when you think you can make the airlock, and don't). But also for the rapid ascent, which I think does about 170m.
I always carry two.
Haven't finished the first VOD yet but I'm so glad you're still going
YESSSS loved the first episode cant wait to watch this
You can leave the scanner room running as long as you want if you just build more solar panels. I built mini bases in most of the biomes just to have a scanner room, and four solar panels did the trick for each one (I LOVE the HUD chip, my favourite tech thing in the game).
This was the only gem stream I actually watched live. Uk she spent the first 10mins figuring out the background music settings 😂
2:16:42 "Oxygen production offline." "It's ok I don't need it."
Gem transcends humanity
Gem: Please no spoilers guys!
Chat: hAs ShE seEn a (insert spoiler) YeT?!
gem wasn't joking when she said her sense of direction was bad 😭😭 i was in tears the entire time she was in that big sunken structure
I think she did fantastically well exploring the LP17 Wreck.
I struggled on that one a lot (through several playthroughs, across all platforms).
I thought for sure we were about to witness a mishap.
In critique, she took ages to spot the first door on the right wall despite going in and out several times, to the point where I sat up in my chair and started DiCaprioPointing wondering if they'd patched the game and blocked over the entrance point. Until I wound it back and realised she just hadn't looked at that wall at any point.
And she went past the Modification Station Fragments so many times, which I found quite agitating, despite me also pointing (normal pointing). Always direct to the corner with the arm, or the hole in the floor, every time.
You have to "paint" each wall and floor in turn, with your nose. As if your little snoz is a scanner itself 👍(the prompt distance is shorter than a lot of player seem to realise)
But in her praise, her mapping and getting in and out was excellent. Her line out, even on the first exit (after the stairs issue), really was the "racing path", just straight lines to each point (no need to orientate or rotate herself). And she learned the routes and connections instantly as soon as she experienced them. A summary of what knowledge she'd gained each trip, and straight back in. Bravo 💪 ✨(while narrating for our entertainment too)
It's so cool to see you playing subnautica!! I just bought the game a week ago and it's truly an incredible experience!
I've never played Subnautica, but you've given me the bug and I definitely will, now. Thanks!
Power does NOT go down simply because it's night, it's simply not charging at night. Your spotlight takes power and the scanner technically takes a tiny amount even when turned off (way more when actively scanning). Each power type has a different supply; solar gives 75, for example. Either have enough solar panels that you have enough reserves to survive the night, or add alternative power sources.
My strategy:
1) 2-4 solar panels early game (below 100m they quickly become ineffective). These are passive and cheap, but only create power during the day and provide the lowest power supply, so you need enough to survive the night if you use a lot of power or do a lot of crafting at nighttime.
2) 1 thermal reactor if a vent is nearby or I can string transmitters to it (which you learned in the mushroom forest), otherwise I'll skip it. This is a most powerful optic that is passive day or night, but you are reliant on having or reaching a heat source.
3) 1+ bioreactor (which take fish, seeds, plants, even eggs); sometimes more if I want to have lots of things like lights, etc. This is easily the most powerful power source in early/mid game, it just requires catching or producing organic matter to fuel it, so it's not passive like the first two. Different organic matter provides different amounts of energy, too. Veterans min-max the organic matter to make the most out of it and thus several bioreactors are totally fine for the entire game, even with a full-sized base.
4) 1 ABCXYZ power source (you haven't learned yet) in the mid/late game. The most powerful option of them all, completely passive and dependent on nothing but your ability to craft it's components. It's just expensive and usually found much later in the game.
I like having a variety of power sources just to be on the safe side, especially if I have lots of power-consuming decoration/features. Power is consumed in the order that it was created, so if you build solar>thermal>bioreactor>4th then the power gets consumed in that order as well, which makes the 4th more like "emergency" reserves if built that way.
Your seaglide light will consume a small amount of power, but usually not enough to worry about; you generally only notice it above ground if using it as an actual flashlight; propulsion consumes the bulk of power underwater. Vessel lights do not consume power when idle, so don't worry about the seamoth. Light and sound can attract hostile attention, but most creatures ignore it.
I love watching ppl play this game, and you’re my favorite gaming creator, so I’m really enjoying watching you play subnautica! I do wish you were given the option to change or mute the eating noises, though. I have misophonia and I have to power through it every time the character eats lol.
So much fun to watch you play this, can't wait for the next vod!🎉😊
The massive wreck had one additional area you didn't find. If I remember correctly, the vent tunnels you crawled through that led between larger rooms had a 3rd branch off that led to another room. I believe there is just one piece of decoration you can get there. Otherwise, I think the wreck is 100% explored.
Also, none of the "claw/finger" arms that chat was talking about are scannable there at any point in the game. Those are the default arms for the machine they go to and a remnant from early release where you needed like 20 different basic arm fragments to unlock it. But they removed that feature when Subnautica V2.0 was released late 2022 and made it so you just need to scan 4 body fragments itself. There are special arms you CAN scan, just not the default/basic ones, and probably won't find them until after you have the default machine unlocked.. However, the basic arms were left in the game even though you can't scan them anymore.
hon you have food growing in your base no need to use your water when at home. just eat marblemelon and bulbo tree and keep the water and salt to cure food for journeys. slice marblemelons for 4 seeds each. plant 4 in a pot. make 2 pots of these and you'll never go hungry thirsty or run out of melons. eat 6 slice 2 for 8 seeds and replant. they grow fast. oh and I agree, what's up Alterra why doesn't the helm have a light on it?
Yeah I'd like to of seen more gardening. External too (Creepvine Seeds Clusters below the Moonpool for fancy lighting).
Hopefully she proceeds to understand more about what each of them provide.
4 Marble Seeds in one small pot, harvest one for four seeds and eat three is a great option.
Reading your comment just made me realise she never brought a Bulbo Tree seed / sample home 😞
So needed something to cheer my day and then saw this video. Know this will cheer me. I am happy in anticipation :)
It's always satisfying to get home and build all the unlocked blueprints you've found when exploring(!)
The early game throws so much story stuff at you that it's nice to take a break and decompress (pun intended).😆
Your Subnautica playthrough is so funny and relaxing.
I'm so excited for this! Couldn't watch it live, but I love subnautica! ❤
At 3:42, BE HAPPY ! the game used to be a lot "Less Obvious". In fact, as someone who's played this since it first went into Early access, let me just say you're lucky. The "Mobile Vehicle Bay" USED, to be a literal standstill because with out it, none of the larger vehicles can be made. I personally spent 3 FULL DAYS, looking for the parts. Finally the wiki page helped me. Since then, they've placed those pieces near the beginning so as to not stall your progress in the game. Also, if you don't know how to build something, assume there's a tech piece you have to build first. If you can find the "Purple Mushroom Biome" it doesn't really fill in the story much if at all. But there's lots of things to scan there that will help you out. Warning. It's scary as hell though. Worms. Euugh..
There's a *major* story beat in the purple mushroom biome that she'll get directed toward if she chooses to follow the current story markers she has. Of course nothing wrong with going out of order or finding it on her own, but there is definitely a part of the story there.
Great series of a great game. Can't wait til you meet HIM! LOLOL! If you know you know.
Thanks to impluses phasmo streams, grians phasmo vids, and a general recommendation, i now watch geminitay.
Another great episode, I loved all the base building!
Something of note--you can harvest so many more lantern fruits from the trees! All the hanging things can be collected with no adverse effects.
YESSSSS so happy you continued with the play through🥰🥰🥰🥰
Omg good timing getting home me
I love this game...
You can grow pretty much every plants you find. Underwater plants need planter that's Underwater.
For the bio reactor I always use those pink mushrooms you saw on that island.
Cut plants with knife to get seeds.
Love watching you play this! Ive watched Jacksepticeye and MArkiplier play it in the past so i know the story though i dont recall al the details. i played it a little myself but once the Stalkers started getting in my face i got stresed out lol - i love how casual you are about them getting up in your business! :D
Carry some peepers and put them in your hand when around stalkers.
You don’t know how loud I gasped then cheered when I saw you already did another Subnautica stream :D
I love Subnautica streams so much!! I already missed it so badly after I’d finished ep 1 that I went back through my history and rewatched other creators old Subnautica videos lol! Though I’m totally a stream/vod watcher now, watching edited content over quieter/chill stream vods was making me want more gem vods even more haha
Lantern trees for aesthetics, but Bulbo Trees for sustenance, all the way.
So glad to see a second ep of this series
Surprisingly meaningful quote 18:25
Yay! I was hoping you'd make more on this!
This playthough got me to replay Subnautica myself. Already I've almost died to radiation! I love this game.
Also no resources don't respawn, although that is a very common misconception
wreaks are very much the scariest part of the game, fight me.
I bought this game after seeing you play it 😁
Loved it! Lots of progress
I can listen to Gem’s voice all day and be completely satisfied.
Her hate for Aurora is so real, but I wish she would go back and look a the sunbeam people because they're so sweet and kind to the protagonist, but the context of when she listened made her register them as mean :(
The pathfinder tool is incredibly useful if you actually remember to use it as you're going into and travelling through a cave. I almost never remember and I think most people don't, but it does its purpose significantly better than a Minecraft compass even with a lodestone.
i miss subnautica fun to watch you play it :)
I watched the entire 5 hours last time. I REALLY hope you finish this game!!!
title: says base-building
Gem: we're gonna go exploring
my head: nope!
LOL I did the exact same thing with making my base next to the stalkers and then getting them popping through the walls and chomping on my seamoth. The upside is that they will chew on your base (which does not damage the base) and drop their teeth right outside your door!
Gem, foundations, reinforced panels, and bulkheads give you improvements to your structural integrity. As chat told you, as long as you stay above 0 you are fine, but if you let your integrity drop, the base can start springing leaks you have to repair once you increase your integrity. Enough damage to the base due to low integrity, and the base implodes.
Never in my life I have seen a player this lucky in subnautica😦😦
0:22
Gem: “I’m not editing them”
Also gem: directly edits into the next thing she says.
I do edit the intro, cause you guys dont need to hear my instructions on how to backseat game 😂 after that its no edits!
Hope Gem keeps these coming and maybe even does a wee side series on the sequel when its with us.
base power dropping below 20 every night gave me genuine heart palpitations i hope Gem puts more solar panels up
I don't think reading everything on the spot as you acquire the info is that critical. It does expand the overall experience of the game, showcasing the critical thought that went into designing not just a theoretical ocean world, but a planet with a thriving ecosystem. That much is _true,_ but the best way to play a game for the best possible experience is to play it for yourself, at your own pace. If you get to the end of this, and think it was a worthy experience overall, then the sequel is highly recommended. I think you'll like the protagonist in that one; since she's a little more fleshed out as a character, too. 😄
was just looking for a new video and just saw this one! Luv your vids gem!😊😊😊
This is quicker than I expected! Let's go for more thalassophobia!
Irene? Wait I know that name.... 🍰
There's nothing stopping you from having 2 oxygen tanks to swap between while you explore wrecks. Just remember to equip them both in the seamoth to refill them.
Binge watcing these on my birthday ahaha
There are several sunken wrecks around with stuff in them and around them. Including the ship. You also need to explore the islands more and every cave and trench.
That is all you need unless you want more specific hints.
That's when you know it's the best Gem! 😂 When you both love it and hate it at the same time!😂😂
Every single time I see Subnautica, I think to myself, "man I need to get back into this game"
Then it's also always followed by, "ah... That's why I stop playing, my heart is too weak for it"
Another great episode, maybe should've invested in the pathfinder tool though, watching you go in and out of that wreck because you couldn't make sense of where you were in it was so disorienting and frustrating lol. But you made good progress and its nice to see you enjoying the game.
I named my seamoth "Avocado" and colored it just like an Avocado 🥑 because it looks like one 😆
I will just say, that you could imagine each alien facility as a different "Chapter" of the game. But yeah. If you can imagine it, THEY LET YOU DO IT !!!!!
This stream was top tier media. So satisfying!
Remember to use the scamner room to find materials near your base! Makes it quite easy to get lottts of stuff
I love this please keep this series
Scanner room uses a bit of idle power when not actively scanning. The spotlight will also use a bit.
good vod 👍
It's a 2.5 hour VOD that came out six minutes ago
However, I will happily assume that your guess is accurate
I remember when the lifepod 13 message was added in the game and it was terrifying because it wasn't voiced
How dare UA-cam hide this video for 9 mins from me!! I literally just got the notification when its already past 9 mins!!!!🤧
Little tip for later, if you get a gel sack ( believe thats what its called they are little green balls with purple spots) plant them in an exterior grow bed because they are the best fuel for a bioreactor. You can hit them twice with your knife and then pick it up and plant the spores you get from knifing it while still using the sack for the bioreactor.
she literally does that in this stream.
@@__.sara._. guess i should have finished the video lol
First time subscribing to second channel... Also first time to see gem's face...
