Mine is probably the Pinnacarid.

So I know it's not a new theory that Alterra's negligence was the cause of death for all the Aurora crew, but what if it WASN'T negligence...?

Let's look at what we know about the incident: The Aurora was supposed to build a phasegate but was also on a secret mission to investigate the disappearance of the Degasi on 4546B. It carried 157 people, nine of whom were passengers, and one was an emissary for Alterra's rival, Mongolia. Alterra had a lot of beef with Mongolia and was hoping the phasegate construction would allow them to surpass their rivals.

Finding the Degasi was meant to be a sort of peace offering. But what if Alterra had different plans? From Below Zero, we know that Alterra is shady as HELL, wanting to silence all who decide to step out of line like they did with Sam, and from hearing a couple of the crew members logs on the Aurora, specifically CTO Yu, I would assume that a few of the Aurora crew members were a bit too... free thinking... Sending the Aurora to a planet with two ships having gone missing (I'm including the mercury) with an important emissary on board and possible defecting crew would definitely work in Alterra's favor. Get rid of someone who is a head for your competitors, and get rid of troublesome employees. And even IF the defector part of my theory is false, Alterra is still a douchy company to forfeit the lives of people to reach their own goals.

The lifepods are the biggest piece of evidence for this theory. As pointed out by many, the lifepods are poorly equipped with limited food and water, faulty machinery, no defense measures, no diving gear or radiation protection, and easily interceptable radio signals. These aren't lifepods, they're floating caskets/ beacons for predators. Despite knowing that 4546B was an ocean based planet with leviathan class predators, they had made sure those lifepods were more of a death sentence than a salvation, no matter who got into them, unless you are Ryley, you're dead.

I was just thinking, if Riley ever returned to 4546B, would the juvenile sea emperors remember him as the one that freed them? I feel like that would be a really cool thing to see in subnautica 3

The Snapjaw leviathan (working name, taking suggestions) is a large, omnivorous, leviathan class lifeform that resides in the mushroom forests.

1. Diet:

Despite it’s carnivorous appearance, it seems to only consume small creatures to compliment its main diet of the large mushrooms that grow in the mushroom forests.

2. Jaws:

It uses it snapping turtle-like jaws to snip off pieces of the mushrooms to eat. They can also be used for defense in cases of other leviathan encounters.

3. Hard exoskeleton:

The Snapjaw leviathan possesses hardened plating that covers its topside. This material is unusually bendable and allows the creature to move freely. It’s possesses no protection on its underbelly.

4. Intelligence:

This creature seems to exhibit som sort of basic intelligence, similar to dolphins from earth used to have. It will get up close to any new creatures it encounters and will sometimes attempt to bite them. This does not seem to be out of hunger but mere curiosity.

5. Evolutionary relations:

The Snapjaw leviathan shares many characteristics with the Ice Worm leviathan of Sector 0. They may have shared a common ancestor.

Assessment: Poses minimal danger, approach with caution.

I just noticed that the aurora only has one voice and thats at the start of the game I always wanted to have a voice in a huge vehicle like the Cyclops and I don't wanna have a crappy sea truck that takes hours to get one module I want a huge vehicle that is meant for military purposes or deep sea exploration that's a tank and nuclear powered I liked the Aurora's drive core breach thing so I say if a vehicle like a huge vehicle blows up like the Cyclops takes 3 or 5 minutes to go and the player has 3 choices option 1: abandon ship. option 2: try to save the ship. option 3: risk it and continue on without repairs and try to make it to a safe area and it works like the drive core after a period of time that area becomes a field of radiation and needs to be fixed and the idea from the Atlas submarine can be used to like a life pod launcher a sonar room,huge command deck huge engines,and etc

This would be very cool and adrenaline boosting I've always wanted a ship that's huge and a tank many rooms and like 2 or 4 ion or other powered sources engines that can visually move like the R.M.S titanic engines along with 3 moon pools and a big nuclear reactor having to have daily checks to run and be monitored by the AI or player think of the ship as a huge old main base that is mobile I think that's bad ass in my opinion

The seatruck is overrated

When I get to the lava zone does anyone have tips to avoid the dragon leviathan and keep my cyclops from running out of battery?

I accidentally did a glitch that removed a wreck but left some scannable things behind, and now I can't find the Cyclops Depth Module that is supposed to be in the wreck.

I don't want to use cheats, because I want to get the steam achievements, and I don't know what to do.

This wiki prob will not be alive until.. idk, the next subnautica game comes out? (subnautica 2 i think its called)

But i got a sneaky feeling the early acess will be in 2025..

So when we wandered into the mushroom forest and saw a bone shark and what we thought was a reaper leviathan while looking for a lifepod we got pretty scared

I don't have a screenshot but I saw a ghost leviathan at blood kelp

In the original Subnautica game, you can find Kharaa infected creatures. Some of these such creatures, such as Peepers, can be picked up and put in an aquarium. If uninfected fauna are put in the same aquarium, they will soon become infected as well! What's especially cool, is that if you find a Peeper with enzyme 42 and put it in an aquarium with the infected creatures, their green pustules will begin to dim! Just though this was a pretty cut little detail.

If you ever feel useless just remember the aurora has the gravity gun fragments.
