To remedy this speed differential you need to craft flippers. (Bottom left) The game will refer to them as Caloric Intake and H20. In survival mode you will have a measure of your hunger and thirst.

Next, you have your “Freedom” difficulty, which has only your health and air gauges on.These two are equally critical, if not more important for you to keep death at bay. Along with those two, you have your health and air gauges (30 seconds of oxygen). It has the hunger and thirst gauges on, which you’ll have to manage for the sake of your survival. The “Survival” difficulty is the most balanced and ideal for new survival players and veterans alike.The first things that we need to clarify are your difficulty options.

This is our Subnautica – Getting Started Guide. So, we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands and give you a complete Subnautica Getting Started guide on how new Subnautica players can have an easy-going early experience in the game and grasp the basics and give you non-spoiler information, which will allow you to have a good plan further down the line. But with a good guide, you’ll get the hang of what you should and shouldn’t do to not just survive but to do it with style. Newcomers to the open-world survival genre and veterans alike will take a good couple of hours to even get to know the basics of what this game requires of you. It’s never easy for anyone to handle a stressful game like Subnautica at first. I know that was the case for me.īut throughout my countless hours playing this game, I’ve gotten to know that if you lay some steady grounds for yourself, especially, early on, then, you won’t stray too far from having yourself a fair contest with Subnautica’s treacherous sea world. Trust me when I tell you, this game has more than a few frights in store for you and I won’t blame you if it was tough to handle for you at first. Subnautica takes its genre very seriously and it also doesn’t shy from the horror aspects of it. We’re here to talk about the Subnautica that set the pace. But let’s not delve too deeply into that one. Its sequel, Subnautica Below Zero had also come out only a year later for early access.

And -mind you- I was already an expert survivalist in games like The Forest since way back then and I was always so passionate about games with desolate settings with threatening circumstances. A deep alien sea world was a bit too much for me at the time. I couldn’t muster my courage and get my hands on it at first because of Subnautica’s setting. Especially, when it was fully released by Unknown Worlds Entertainment in 2018. Subnautica changed the landscape of open-world survival games.
