I feel like a pitch black zone would be nice. It could certainly add more gameplay aspect to Subnautica, if players want a kind of challenge. Variety is always good. I'd personally enjoy the challenge.

At the very least I hope there's more reason to need materials. At the moment, I don't feel like there's enough incentive to visit most areas, as things such as lithium, gold, and diamond are so rarely used there's no reason to specifically search for them. I might have missed some patches changing this though, as it seems basalt is now the main method for getting copper instead of providing tons of gold and diamond you might never use.
