15 Random Facts about Subnautica

Hey there, I'm Aci and welcome to 15 random facts about Subnautica!

I tried keeping them at least somewhat useful, but they're random facts so.. you may or may not already know them xDAlso, spoilers.

1. You can actually get oxygen back by eating raw bladderfish! So if you're ever about to suffocate, see if you can't just bite a chunk out of a poor bladderfish to survive xD

2. Terraforming was removed in early access due to it apparently being really buggy and causing alot of lag in the game. But was it really? 

No, no it wasn't. You can still terraform if you spawn in the terraformer with a command! They just took out the crafting recipies.But sadly once you reload the world anything you terraformed is reset back to normal, so you can't really save your progress

3. Unknown Worlds Entertainment almost went bankrupt multiple times while working on Subnautica. And according to them, they were saved by Youtubers promoting their game. 

At least that's what they said in a personal letter to Jacksepticeye which they sent to him when Subnautica released <video>

4. There are all Youtuber items that are in the game: Hullplates for Bikeman, EatMyDiction, Gilathiss, IGP, Jacksepticeye, LordMinion, Markiplier and Muyskerm

There are also the Septic Tank and the Markiplier doll from Jacksepticeye and Markiplier!

5. Flares are actually more than a bad version of a flashlight. I actually only learned about this a few weeks ago, which is kinda sad considering I've been playing this game for almost 5 years.

You can distract creatures with flares. Like WHAT. You're telling my I could've avoided all the screaming and crying because I had a boneshark on me for 5 minutes by simply throwing a FLARE? 

Somehow I missed the tooltip. Might be because I haven't crafted flares since like 2016 but still. Come on! xD

6. Talking about light sources, if you shine some light on bloom plankton, it lights up for a certain amount of time! Now you might be asking "But Aci, what is bloom plankton?"

Well Bloom Planktion is actually a "creature" of sorts that was never implemented. It's supposed to be a LOT of tiny glowing creatures that retain the light you shine on them for a little while.

The whole swarm is only a single entity in the game though and you have to spawn it in manually.

7. Do you recognize these guys? Yeah, I don't like them either. But I LOVE these guys. They're so adorable. At least until you find out that THEY were actually the ones meant to explode.

Huh, suddenly they're alot less cute. Basically mine turtle at this point <HELLO>

8. And another one about the cuddlefish! It was actually meant to be an early access exclusive for quite some time! That means if you bought the game after the full release, you wouldn't have had any cuddlefishes in your game

I actually really liked this idea, but sadly they changed their mind just before release. But hey, at least we all get to cuddle a fish now.. oh my god that pun was awful

9. You never actually leave the planet. When you "lift off" in your rocket, the only thing that happens is there's a massive planet moving around on the ACTUAL planet and there's a fancy warp-tornado thingie playing

in front of your cockpit. Yep, you're still stuck here.

10. The aurora used to be 2 dimensional. Yep, they just slapped a picture of a giant crashed spaceship in the distance and didn't expect anyone to go to it xD

11. The next point is actually the reason they changed it to be 3D. They track your every move <serious>. Haha okay that might sound a little creepy, but it's for your own good, trust me.

They have statistics on everything, and I mean everything. They know where alot of people swim to, they know what types of base modules are used most, they evem know if you put a cuddlefish in a bioreactor - don't put a cuddlefish in a bioreactor -. 

They use that data to improve the game, for example, after they saw alot of people were excited about the aurora, they made it explorable!

12. Obraxis, which is one of the devs thar worked on the game, told me what he found most frustrating to work on in Subnautica.

Multiplayer. Wait-

<distant, overlapping, faded>: They worked on it all this time? they lied to us! why havent they shown us? when is it going to come out? is it coop or actual multiplayer? they betrayed us! how could they not tell us??

Oh nevermind xD

It was actually terraforming. It seems to have been really hard to implement, and after they had to get rid of it, it sadly only remains as a dev tool to edit the world.

13. There's an alternative dialogue - or well monologue for when you don't make it to the sunbeam landing site in time.

14. There also used to be an alternative sunbeam ending in case you disabled the quarantine enforcement platform before it arrived. But for some reason, they took it out.

Sadly, you don't get rescued, they just tell you they can't land because of the debris field in orbit around the planet.

15. I still don't have a hullplate. XD Okay that's not really a fact about Subnautica but hey it's my video I can do whatever I want.

I can also ask you to subscribe to me because only 7% of people are subscribed which.. is not alot.. and i'm kinda sad about that :(
