    I think it’s very interesting to see that whenever you get the oxygen warning you don’t immediately swim upwards as fast as you can, I assume because you’re used to real dives where it’s safer to ascend slowly. Most lets-players I’ve seen always get the warning and immediately go up as fast as possible, but your real life scuba instincts kicked in and you went slow, and I just think that’s really interesting to see your real life experience affect your gameplay instincts like that. Unfortunately video games use different instincts haha

      Hello Ori, indeed! One of the things we are most aware as divers is our ascend speed. This is a critical aspect to our safety as divers, so seeing the monstrous speed at which the game let me ascend, was a little frightening 😂
      As You correctly pointed out though, the game just needs to except such mechanics to remain more playable.

    I love seeing people play this game for the first time, so much trial and error to get the mechanics because the game just drops them on you blind. Your editor is amazing (if it is you right on man!).
    One funny thing is everyone who plays the game after the new intro (the one you saw) keeps the extinguisher in their hands for several minutes.😆
    A couple of things that will make your life easier in the game.
    - You have the standard tank right now you should upgrade it to the high capacity so you can get around 2 minutes underwater.
    - Catch a bunch of fish all at once and put them uncooked in your locker inside the escape pod storage bench. They keep forever uncooked and you can come back and cook as many as you need in one sitting. Bladder fish are the quickest way to make water.
    - Like real life a dive knife is something you want to get your hands on sooner rather than later.
    - Craft the builder tool so you can build an underwater base and get more storage it makes the game more fun when you can create your own space.
    - There is an emergency flotation device that is really handy to go from 100M to 0 so fast you would in real life shatter your ears and die from decompression sickness. But hey game mechanics. 🤣I think they say "something something blah blah magic tech space dry suit" in the game files.

    The developer clearly took some liberties with the realism of diving for the sake of gameplay, but it's cool to see a real diver's thoughts on just what liberties were taken.
    I think the biggest draw to Subnautica is just how novel it is, and of course the wildlife is very creative and at times quite terrifying.

    • @crystalfox8520
      @crystalfox8520 3 роки тому

      @@sadi5713 OOOOO OOO I CAN EXPLAIN THIS I HAD TO LEARN THIS FOR MY CERT. So basically because the deeper we go, the more pressure we are under, and that also goes for our gear and the oxygen in our tanks. So at the surface the air is normal, but as you go down it compresses. This can be demonstrated with a balloon of air underwater. At the surface it is normal, but as you go down it appears to deflate. But all that is really happening is the oxygen molecules getting closer together. As you rise to the surface, the balloon appears to inflate. It's the whole reason why it isnt a good idea to hold your breath underwater while diving. Imagine breathing in compressed air, rising while holding the breath, and the air expanding in your lungs. Only bad things will happen in that situation.

    • @WetSouls
      @WetSouls  3 роки тому

      @@sadi5713 hello there Sadi. Recreational scuba divers are bound to a maximum depth of 40 meters. This has to do with safety and the nature of the training you receive as a recreational diver. Generally any dive requires very accurate planning as well as the right equipment. The deeper the dive, the more factors will play a role in being able to conduct the dive safely. Usually depths deeper than 40 meters are considered the realm of technical diving, 100 meters are a very considerable depth for a diver and very few people regularly venture to such depth.
      The reason why we use more gas at greater depth has to do with pressure and with how the scuba regulator connected to the cylinders and from which you breathe works: The regulator will always provide air with an amount of pressure equal to the pressure you find at the depth you are at, so your lungs can receive the right amount of air for you to breathe easily. The deeper you go the more pressure is pushing on your chest, therefore you need more pressure in your chest to equal the exterior pressure and allow your lungs to inflate with air. More pressure=more air. The more pressure you need to inflate you lungs, the more air you need to create that pressure.
      The regulator ensures this and allows you to breathe easily at a given depth.

    • @charlesg7926
      @charlesg7926 2 роки тому +1

      @@WetSouls Not quite correct. It doesn’t have to do with pressure on your chest. It simply is due to pressure on the air molecules themselves, condenses the molecules closer together. So when the air comes out of the tank it condenses. When you breathe 1 cubic foot of air at 30 feet depth, or condensed molecules, it’s approx 4 times the amount of air you’d consume on the surface since the molecules are condensed 4x the amount. It has nothing to do with your chest receiving more pressure or anything like that. The air actually condenses as soon as it hits the hose or your mouth, before it even reaches your chest

    Something of note, which im sure you know. The issues you had with the air tanks and the dive/accent rates are understandable, but the developers had to take some liberties to mechanically balance the game and keep the gameplay moving at the right pace. Letting you dive for too long on your own negates some of the danger and wonder because you wouldn't feel restricted in your exploration. You'd never need to find materials, to make larger tanks, then find more materials to make vehicles, ect. The air tank limit (measured in seconds of air, by the way) its the main way to force the player into exploring further for better materials. The accent speed is there for convenience to, as you saw, help get you to the surface when you are low on air.
    I'm sure if the air tanks did last longer, the accent rate would be slower, but it would also be more boring for the player having to go slow rather than just do what they need to do and play the game. So thats why the dive mechanics are how they are.
    And yeah, look dont touch is the rule here when you are in no danger, but when you are stranded and its about survival, its alittle different. :) Glad you liked it though.

    • @WetSouls
      @WetSouls  3 роки тому +3

      Hey, thanks for Your very thorough analysis and thoughtful comment. I really appreciate the game and I´m fully aware of the fact the developers cannot create a 1/1 Scuba simulation - I guess it would actually be rather boring and complicated to understand / would require too much knowledge and probably graphically quite demanding too. ;)
      There needs to be a balance between realism and fun and I find the game achieves that rather well.
      Have a couple of releases lined up (on will be another water related game) and then, sice we are still in lockdown, I think I will give Subnautica another go in free mode perhaps. Cheers

      I’m a scuba diver (PADI rescue, and also TDI cave diver) and 100% agree with you, and also something “Wet Souls” didn’t mention is that as divers, yeah we have longer lasting air tanks BUT WE ALSO MOVE MUCH SLOWER! In 3 minutes of “Subnautica” swimming, they can swim more than your average diver can swim in 30-40 minutes with his Aluminum 80 tank! Because the diver in the game is swimming like 15 mph and never gets tired, whereas divers in real life swim 1-2 mph max with gear on and need some rest time to catch their breath

I DONT recommend actual divers play this game- seriously- it lures you in being an addictive and cool game. But it’s scary and creepy and slowly it makes you fear the ocean and dread leviathans or sharks coming at you. Pretty soon you make that connection with water that wasn’t there before

Late in the game you can unlock a prawn suit, which is a mech capable of descending to 1000m, a reinforced suit that allows for diving below 500m, and a cyclops 1 person submarine.
    I definitely think you will have lots of fun and I think you might enjoy base building once you unlock it which allows you to build new things, have an underwater docking area, and to further study and contain sea creatures in fish tanks.

      @@WetSouls Don't worry, I did, it was super interesting. =D You could argue that since the game takes place in a far far future where humans travel to other parts of the galaxy in the matter of months, that diving tech has been taken a step further as well in the mean time. Thus, diving so deep and back up quickly is possible etc. But as someone who I presume knows about how diving equipment has developed in recent times, what are your thoughts on the development of such technology?

      I love the game, its atmosphere and the freedom to explore but It is not a substitute for real diving and exploring the ocean. 😉👌🏽
      As for your very real fear of the water / sea it is nice to see you are looking to address it. Remember that this is a step by step process though and it needs a real life approach. This means hands on, swimming lessons or coaching.
      I keep my fingers crossed You will be able to overcome it and join us in the magical blue. 💙

      Well Subnautica is only good for fighting Fear of the Ocean, as long you stay above...ehh....roughly 50m xD
      On the other side.....below 50m...your Fear of the Ocean temporarily gets exchanged with Fascination of the beautiful View....just to get exchanged later for Terror, Fear of every Noise and sudden attempts of screaming.

I've only ever done snorkling myself, it was in this hot tropical place and we had to do this introduction on the fish we should avoid while swimming and it kinda freaked me out so I just stayed in the really shallow areas XD
    There was one other time when we went to this natural water park in mexico and we were walking across a floating bridge to go somewhere different and I looked down to see a really huge barracuda peeping out underneath the bridge and I had just been swimming near there, gave me the creeps XD

    You build the regular tank not the high capacity one. It gave you the blueprint for it when you build the regular one. Look in the fabricator for all the things you can build. Later on you can even build two different sizes of subs, and that makes exploration MUCH easier!

      @@WetSouls I have never tried diving. I am one of those people who can be paralysed seeing a submerged object. I honestly have no explanation for it. As for my other remarks, I have only noticed that the marine biologist needed to learn how to work the equipment and build tools to sustain life. Yet she ran off to study this or that while going on endlessly about information that had nothing to do with her real need. The other one I saw had the attention span of a goldfish. It was amazing how stuck in their encyclopaedic mindset they were. All they could see is what they had learned. It was unsettling watching a PHD who was demonstrating how they could no longer think their way through the situation. I watched and I learned. Then I started looking at my own life to see if I was doing that. Humans think they know something. They seem convinced they are more than they are. And it dooms us to stagnation -basking in the shadows of our illumination. UA-cam is a great place to study humans. It’s like a duck blind. I hope you return to Subnautica. AND PUT THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER DOWN Lol. You will be amazed at how you can dive to over 1800 meters. It’s a beautiful game. But you are going to call it out on many diving issues. Best wishes.

    Wow, where to begin. I watch a lot of people play this game because I love it so much but the one thing they all do is when they see the acid mushroom they will literally grab a hand full of them like you did, look around, do they look like they are a rare item, NO. This is a survival game and you have a limited inventory until you get the ability to make a habitat and storage. Get to your life pod and look around at every thing there is, then study your fabricator closely to see what you can make. The bladder fish is great for an emergency water source but there is a better method (fabricator). And as for exploring at night that's not a good thing, I don't have eyes like a bat.
    Now for the video, your addition of unnecessary sound and overlays is a big distraction for the video itself, I just want to see some one play and enjoy the game. I feel you face cam should be 20% small and put in the upper right screen and not move or warp or transform.
    Of course this is just my opinion, I can't speak for anyone else. Look forward to the next video.

    • @WetSouls

      Hello there Phil and thanks for stopping over but more for Your very detailed and open review. Im glad You enjoy the game and yes - those mushrooms are pretty much absolutely useless.
      I appreciate you pointing out the survival aspect and indeed, that is the focus of the game. The scope and broadness that went into the development are remarkable. From my side though and given the focus of the video and limited time such a video can take, I wanted to focus on the real parallels to scuba diving (the channel focuses on that) ;) I have played again though and really enjoyed further aspects. Especially crafting items.
      In terms of editing, I just enjoy playing with the software. Guess that's just the artistic liberty behind the project.
      In any case there will be more coming. Enjoying the virtual underwater adventure. Take care
