Gold and silver have been annoying as well, though lithium is at least plentiful. Copper was similarly problematic at first, but I got lucky and found a vein of chalcopyrite, a close relative of iron pyrite, better known as fool's gold. I've had to rely almost entirely on salvage from the various wrecks in the area, not all of which are from either the Aurora or the Degassi. On the flipside, good titanium is a bitch to find. And don't even get me started on just how stupidly cheap diamonds are to make. Aluminum's easy, just load clay into the fabber, and silicates are just as common in the form of sand. Kyanite? Literally just aluminum silicate. Rubies? Pah, just aluminum oxide with a bit of chromium in the mix.

On the plus side, a lot of things that are rare in the game are actually super easy for me to get. somewhere, and then constructs things for me. The fabricator then eats the rocks, stores the materials. No smashing rocks to get materials and then stuffing them in a magic backpack, no, I have to grab entire rocks and drag them back to my fabricator. Resource gathering is also very different. Grav traps are frankly the only thing keeping me from starving, even if I am getting very sick of seafood. I still don't have my first crop of marblemelons, and getting that set up was one of the first things I did. The biggest one is that farming is nowhere near as fast. Reality and the game have quite a few differences. Oh god I hate this place so much when it's real. I just saved the crew of the Sunbeam and got myself a weapon to deal with the freaking deep sea monsters that I'll need to deal with to get the cure. I drop into a chair nearby and let out a sigh of relief. With that, we both close down our transmitters. "We'll call you when we have your gun ready."
"It's in our charter, Captain," Avery Quinn says. "Thank you for attempting to provide assistance." Maybe someday you can tell me how you killed a fifty five meter leviathan without a weapon over drinks." we'll see what we can do about getting you a gun. "Understood, Captain," Avery Quinn replies. "I haven't attempted a scan of a live one for obvious reasons." "Well the one I managed to kill was only fifty five meters, but it was one of the smaller ones," I reply. Specifically, I need a solution for sixty meter long predatory leviathans. "I need some blueprints not contained in the standard survival package.
"Is there anything we can do for you at this point?" "Understood, Captain Robinson," Avery Quinn says. I've been staving it off with a substance sourced from a local fauna species, but until I can work out a proper treatment I cannot consider leaving the planet." "I have both food and shelter, but am currently infected with a local disease. ".surviving, Captain Quinn," I reply after some consideration. It shot down the Aurora, the Degassi, and at least three other ships just from the debris I've personally found." The planet is under interdiction by an unknown weapon. More likely you'd end up joining the debris field. "At best, you'd just end up trapped here with me. "Hard copy, Captain Robinson, please confirm that rescue is not desired," Captain Avery Quinn's voice says. What follows is the longest two minutes of my life as the lightspeed delay makes itself known. I repeat, do NOT attempt rescue! Planet 4546B is not safe, I repeat do not attempt rescue, planet is hazardous! Do not approach planet, do not enter orbit! Stay outside the orbital debris field! Confirm hard copy, Sunbeam." " Sunbeam, this is Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief Ryley Robinson of the Aurora, now Acting Captain. running! Yes, it works! And just barely in time too. It takes a few minutes but I soon have the assembly ready, then go back to my kludged transmitter to wire it in properly. I rip out the power assembly, a modified version of the power cell port from a Seamoth, and set my fabber to produce a new one. Frustrated, I decide that, with the tools at my disposal, replacement is easier than repair. There must be a short somewhere in the circuit, because the breaker tripped instantly. Now if only the power system was working as well.
#Subnautica merch manuals#
Why the survival blueprints list doesn't include a fucking transmitter is beyond me, but with some manuals I managed to pilfer from the Aurora's database and some clever tweaking I've managed to hook up a modified version of the beacon buoy's transmitter to a radio, something that should at least let me send a signal. "Work, damn you," I snarl, poking at the kludged together thing I've built.
A/N: Well this has been beating against the inside of my head for a while now.
