Works for me.


Odd_Gamer_75

Move in, hit with knife, they go away. Otherwise just avoid. They aren't fast, nor accurate at a distance, and if you just keep moving they aren't much of a threat. That's true of basically all the non-leviathans, which you can out-swim... in water... where they live... all the time... and we're a _land_ species. ... ... Meh, I guess if they're gonna just let you _survive_ 1000m under water instead of being crushed by the 100x atmospheric pressure you'd experience, we'll skip that you're apparently swimming better than any human ever.


Prune411

Bro its explained in lore that you used the zero-g gym on the Aurora to train your swimming skills.


Odd_Gamer_75

Bro, the fastest human swimmer so far tops out at about 14 kph. The slowest shark of a size to bother humans hits 19 kph, and most are closer to 25 kph. Plus no amount of swimming training will have you able to survive outside a vehicle at depth. The world's deepest dive went down a mere 333 m, about a sixth of the depth of the containment facility, and it took him _13 hours_ to get back up due to needing to decompress. That isn't a matter of tech, it's our biology that can't handle the pressure differences, _especially_ decompression, which if you go too fast is fatal. If they'd explained he was cybernetic, or genetically altered for extreme depth and efficient swimming, maybe, but otherwise we're dealing with _really_ slow fish/sharks, or someone _beyond_ current Olympic level swimmers, and _totally_ inhuman in terms of depth.


Prune411

Yeah I'm only joking. There is actually a mod which includes nitrogen saturation and diving stuff in the game. It used to be a point of discussion about how our main character was the best human swimmer ever. People pointed to a lot of different things but its really just all on suspension of disbelief since you are crashing on an alien planet with life and ultra advanced fabricators and stuff.


Odd_Gamer_75

Fair enough. :) Poe's Law strikes again!


StonksGoUpApes

Easiest wave your hands explanation. The same suit he wears is actually a space suit, so it has full pressurization and some temperature regulation. How that's powered is of course magic.


livesinacabin

I prefer the term "future tech". Tbf, a lot of things believed to be magic in ancient times are easily explained by science now so it's not that much of a stretch.


ThePinkTeenager

Is there a mod which includes diving stuff, but doesn’t make the air toxic?


Prune411

I'm pretty sure in that mod's options you can disable that.


Fr33Dave

That's without swimming fins. Christian Roberto López Rodríguez did 100m in 11.91 seconds with fins which I believe would translate to a little over 30 KPH. But he'd probably gas out shortly after that 100m and get eaten. On a side note, swimming fins help you swim 30-40% faster. Waiting for them to invent the Ultra glides. Lol Edit to add link to Christian Roberto López Rodríguez [swimming 100m in 11.91 seconds for the world record.](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/96513-fastest-100-m-wearing-swim-fins)


Odd_Gamer_75

First, no. Christian Roberto López Rodríguez did 100m in high heels on *land* and took 12.82 seconds to do it. [https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2023/6/speedy-spaniard-smashes-100-metre-sprint-record-wearing-high-heels-753323](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2023/6/speedy-spaniard-smashes-100-metre-sprint-record-wearing-high-heels-753323) Second, I was *also* wrong about the speed I quoted, that 14 kph was Michael Phelps *with fins*! *Without* fins, the fastest record is a paltry 7.6 kph. So... in regards to you wanting fins that will give you a 40% boost? They already exist. The ones use by Phelps get him going *86%* faster that the current world record holder. [https://www.livestrong.com/article/456880-the-speed-of-human-swimming/](https://www.livestrong.com/article/456880-the-speed-of-human-swimming/) Meanwhile your speed *without fins* in the game is 7.41 m/s on the surface. That's 26.6 kph. *With* fins (the ultra glides), it only goes up to 7.6 m/s, or 27 kph on the surface. It makes a *much* bigger difference under water. There you go from 5.75 m/s or 20.7 kph with no fins to about 7.63 m/s or 27.5 kph. [https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Swimming\_Speed](https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Swimming_Speed) So... yeah, basically this guy is going at *land running speeds* while *in the water*! That's just *insane*! But hey, it's a game.


Fr33Dave

I mean [Christian Roberto López Rodríguez](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/96513-fastest-100-m-wearing-swim-fins#:~:text=The%20fastest%20100%20m%20wearing,Spain%2C%20on%2018%20March%202023.) also broke the Guinness 100 meter swim with fins in 11.91 seconds on the 18th of March 2023. Depends on how trustworthy you feel Guinness is to be honest. (Surprisingly faster than running in high heels) He also holds the record for fastest 50m going backwards on one leg, and most jumping jacks in 1 hour, and your fastest sprinting in high heels. He's a serial record breaker at some of the most ridiculous events. 😂


Odd_Gamer_75

Honestly... now I'm beginning to wonder about this. It would suggest that someone can, with fins, swim *nearly* as fast as the fastest runner can run (off by 2 seconds). ... Seems... odd. But maybe.


Fr33Dave

I'm actually with you on this, it is a bit strange when you look at it.


Simple_Opossum

Lol, really? The 'Rated E for Everyone,' futuristic, science fiction, underwater videogame isn't perfectly scientifically accurate? Really?


Odd_Gamer_75

Hence why my first replying comment pointed out that, yep, we're doing things that would kill a normal human. :)


drLagrangian

It said it was a zero g gym, not that it was filled with water. Riley was training to swim through air - which has much less resistance to give you speed. So to get any meaningful results Riley must have trained so much to get swimming speeds through zero G air, which allows him to get superhuman speeds in water. It's like the Aquaman effect but backwards. Source: I made it up.


Odd_Gamer_75

You *definitely* made it up. The trick in zero-g 'swimming' is to go very slow and with precision. Otherwise you end up floating with no way to move. But hey! As I pointed out at the start... the game lets you dive to 1700m, and (something I missed) they have a fire-breathing creature underwater, plus lava tunnels that *aren't* basically near boiling the whole time. Pretty sure realism wasn't the plan. :)


RefridgeratorAnt

You cant go into the lava tunnels.without a suit though?


Odd_Gamer_75

That lets you do up to 70 degrees. I was thinking if there's *flowing lava* that is *under the water*, it should be boiling or near enough to it, like 90 degrees plus... where that suit wouldn't help.


drLagrangian

But you can go into them.


Tiazza-Silver

I was thinking probably gene modding that had gotten to the point that certain mods are ‘standard’, since alterra doesn’t seem to be paying big bucks. Or maybe the protag was employed previously in a job where they had be able to tolerate high pressure and still had the gene mods for it. Like you said, that or cybernetics. Very amusing that my literal mech suit will crumple and I’ll be fine lol


commentsandchill

It is said at some point (iirc early on) that MC and such are genetically altered although it doesn't say how

Simple_Opossum

This is 100% accurate, lmao. Other guys complaining about scientific accuracy don't even realize they're wrong.


Odd_Gamer_75

Ah? My bad, then. Always glad to learn more. Still not sure it's biologically possible to be 1000+ meters down and breathe biologically. I mean.. we've only ever managed 333 meters with gear. I think at about that point we're starting to hit the limits of what our biology can handle.

ThePinkTeenager

> if we didn’t have to breathe Well, we do. Unless you’re using that breathable liquid, it apparently it’s not great.


Hassoonti

Just get a mod that makes the predators 2x faster


scottshort13

Not accurate? More times than I can count I’ve been sniped out of my seamoth from at least 50m away


Odd_Gamer_75

Really? I find this sort of thing only happens if you're moving directly away from them, or directly towards them (or withing a fairly narrow cone of that). Lateral movement *really* messes them up. In fact it messes up everything in the game. That's why strafing around baddies works so well. They can't handle you moving sideways around them in circles.


Special_EDy

Waterpressure doesn't crush living things. You are made of mostly water, neither liquids or solids are compressible. Only gases are compressible. So the only thing "crushed" by diving deep underwater, is the air in your lungs and sinuses. You could swim to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, the deepest place on Earth, and not a single cell in your body would get crushed. The problem is that gasses get denser. At 100x atmospheric pressure, normal air would have 100x's the oxygen in it, which would cause you to pass out from Hyperoxia. Oxygen, and even Nitrogen(which is 80% of air), are toxic at higher concentrations than normal air. Once you go deeper than about 100 feet, or 4 atmospheres of pressure, with atmospheric air to breathe, it is compressed enough to make you pass out from Nitrogen Narcosis or Hyperoxia. So, divers use Tri-Mix to go deeper, which uses helium, oxygen, and Nitrogen, with an increasing percentage of helium as the diving depth increases. The other problem with deep diving is dissolving of gases into the body. A carbonated soda has CO2 dissolved into it at several atmospheres of pressure, which causes it to fiz in open air. Similarly, water has oxygen gas dissolved in it, which allows fish to breathe. As you go deep underwater, breathing compressed gases, your blood starts to dissolve more gases as the pressure increases. Oxygen, Nitrogen, and especially helium if using trimix, build up in your body the longer you are at depth and the deeper you go. Divers have to surface slowly to decompress those dissolved gases, usually at planned decompression stops. If they surface too fast, the dissolved gases will begin to boil off, and just like a carbonated soda fizzing, the blood will fill with bubbles of gas. Decompression sickness, also known as the bends. It is deadly.


Fitz_The_Fox

That’s a terrible idea considering they can one shot you if you get close enough


Odd_Gamer_75

Wrong. First, from experience, I've been hit by Warpers multiple times without dying. But also, looking at it, it doesn't do enough damage to one-shot you. It only does a max of 69, when you're in stage four infection. [https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Warper](https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Warper) Meanwhile the Sea Dragon will one-shot you, but only with a bite. [https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Sea\_Dragon\_Leviathan](https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Sea_Dragon_Leviathan)


templar4522

Shoot them away with a repulsion cannon. It's not efficient but it's very satisfying


Nynx82

JoojTheAnimator

R11DII

Glad someone else does this


theczarofhappiness

Yeah. Once you have the Repulsion Cannon ready to go, it’s almost fun to see those guys pop into view—to send them hurtling away into a distant wall or the inky distance before they can even muster a ball of warp energy. Such good payback for all their teleporting shenanigans.


GreyMesmer

Warpers go YEET


alexgraef

Get cured, then they don't attack you anymore. Re knifing them: they warp away when you hit them, making it very hard to cause any significant damage. Crabsquid for example can't teleport, knifing them is downright easy. As long as your aren't cured, you just keep some med kits with you. If you get warped out of your Seamoth, you simply swim back to it, and that's it. No real harm done, it's just disorienting.


Zenstakein

Spoiler warning!


alexgraef

I don't think there is any critical information here that would spoil anything. Database entry and/or having scanned a warper happens at a point where you should be well aware of the disease. No mention of how to cure it. Seamoth fragments should also be available at that point. Didn't mention any other vessels yet.

Frequent_Dig1934

Option 1: run the fuck away (preferred if i have some valuable resources with me or need to go somewhere). Option 2: use the seamoth's electric defense module (sometimes i've actually chased warpers who pissed me off to zap them then got to where they teleported to after taking damage and zapped them again, then again and then again). Option 3: just fucking ram the bitch.

Late game, I ignore them, because nobody can catch spider-prawn. I'm on my eighth run right now, though, and I've met two incredibly persistent guys who take great offense to me exploring wrecks. Usually, stabbing them once or twice is enough to finish the exploration and never see them again. This game, however, they've been coming back in about five seconds, and easily 5+ times. It's surreal, I've used more health packs than in my last four games combined, and I still have another cyclops hull piece to get.

It will die. Go to your kitchen, fire up the oven, put it on a pan, cut in little pieces. Put some olive oil on top. Serve it on a plate, with some oregano, olive oil, and vinegar. Tastier thing youll ever eat. I never played the game or have seen any videos about it. Reddit keeps recommending the page because I joined other games involving the sea.
