User blog:SoSV/Subnautica Tips!

Sorry! I didn't finish and I guess it published. Oh well. Leave your tips in the comments and I will probably add them. SPOILER WARNING

- When going to the Lost River in a Cyclops, I recommend you don't go through the Deep Grand Reef, it's a really tight fit.

> I prefer going through the Blood Kelp Zone (Adjacent to Lifepod 2) because you already have a beacon and it has a large entrance; just beware of the Ghost Leviathan.

> I also prefer getting the Cyclops Sonar, as it helps in navigation and doesn't attract any Crabsquids.

- When exploring the DGR Seabase, always tuck your Seamoth into a corner with the lights off, or else you won't be getting a ride home tonight.

- You only need, assuming you have only 1 Prawn Suit + Cyclops, or you don't lose an item using the resource, 11 Nickel, 9 Crystalline Sulfur and 18 Kyanite.

- Water Filtration Machines consume an ungodly amount of energy. It is mandatory to have at least one Nuclear Reactor if you even want one. I suggest using Bulbo Trees and Marblemelons to keep hydrated, while using Filtered Water while away.

- I recommend using lots of Exterior Growbeds. Creepvine, Blood Kelp and Deep Shrooms are all very handy to have right next to your base.

> When planting Creepvine, always use the Seed Clusters, not the actual Creepvine itself. Using the Samples will give you a Creepvine that doesn't produce Seed Clusters, which is generally why you are planting them in the first place.

- When you can't find any Sandstone Outcrops, you can harvest Blue Barnacles off of the back of Reefbacks to get Silver or Copper.

- Try to minimize the amount of time you spend on Silent Running, as it conusmes 5 times the energy!

- Ambient Occulsion and Depth of Field are 2 of the best graphic settings in Subnautica!

- When in the Inactive Lava Zone leaving your Cyclops with the Prawn, always remove the power cells from the Cyclops and put them in the lower storage units.

- Using the Prawn suit's jump jets consumes a lot of energy; walk when possible.

- You'd be surprised how fast your Quartz supplies will dissappear, so occasionally go on mining expeditions with your Prawn Suit Drill Arm to harvest Large Quartz Deposits (which are plentiful in the Crag Field and the Crash Zone)

- The Prawn Suit Defualt Arm does more damage than the Drill Arm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
