Get lost in the depths of the Lost River

The Bones Update has been released! The Lost River zone nears completion in this update with additions to areas throughout. Wander from the Bone Fields to the Lava Zone Connection, there will be plenty to see along the way:

https://youtu.be/TTrSOzTJ8hU

Lost River Zone

The Lost River zone grows with four improved zones: the Bone Fields, the Ghost Forest, the Lava Zone Connection, and the Lost River Junction.



River Prowler

Introducing the River Prowler, a new creature part of the Bones Field in the Lost River zone. This aggressive creature is not to be taken lightly.



Precursor Base

Another mysterious area in the Lost River zone also appears...



Reefbacks

Reefbacks now spawn with reefs on (you guessed it) their backs! There are several variations and sometimes you might even see baby Reefbacks alongside them.



Mesmer

Mesmer abilities have been improved to be even more mesmerizing.



Pipes

Use pipes to bring air to areas either using the Pipe Floater or the Pipe Base Connector. Pipes can be built 5 at a time using a Fabricator.



Still & Reinforced Dive Suits

The Reinforced Dive suit and the Still suit now have their own unique models.



HTC Vive Support

Lastly, Subnautica now works on HTC Vive!

Keep one eye on the open ocean

The Dangerous Creatures update has been released! This update includes the massive Sea Dragon Leviathan, terrifying Warper, Crab Squid EMP blasts, the Reinforced Dive Suit, a new Abandoned Base, and more:

https://youtu.be/Xe2XutnTjC8



Sea Dragon Leviathan

The massive Sea Dragon Leviathan may be found in Lava biomes: It spews fireballs, crushes creatures with its huge jaws, and bats aside anything in its path with enormous claws.

If you see a Sea Dragon: Swim.



Warper

Appearing out of nowhere, the Warper teleports in and out of almost any biome. This creature is extremely dangerous and indiscriminate in its attacks on other lifeforms - Including you.



Abandoned Base 3

The third and final abandoned base may be found in the Grand Reef biome. Search the base for clues as to what happened on this ocean planet before the Aurora crashed. But watch out, there are Crab Squids about...



Crab Squid Electromagnetic Pulse

Crab Squids may now deploy an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. The pulse disables electronics, such as flashlights, and may leave explorers like yourself vulnerable to attack!



Tree Cove

A gorgeous new environment is available for you to explore: The Tree Cove. Found within the Lost River biome, the Tree Cove is a haven of peace and tranquility, filled with gentle Ghost Rays. It's a great place to go to escape from all the new dangerous creatures prowling around!



Reinforced Dive Suit

Lava Zones are very, very hot. To hot, in fact, for a regular-suited diver to survive. The new Reinforced Dive Suit allows you to explore very hot areas. Just the kind of areas the Sea Dragon is likely to inhabit...

This suit can handle the pressure.

A brand new vehicle is available in Subnautica: The Pressure Re-Active Waterproof Nano Suit, or PRAWN Suit. This big bipedal mech-suit is yours to command, available now on Steam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_IuAapLVYc

The PRAWN suit is capable of diving to great depths, allowing you to explore dangerous caverns and lava fields. PRAWN comes standard with a claw arm that can be used to smash small rocks and pick up items. The suit also accepts modular arm attachments:

  • Drill Arm: Collect resources from large resource deposits
  • Grappling Arm: Fires a grapple to reel in small objects, and pull the suit towards large objects.
  • Torpedo Launcher: Fire torpedoes to defend yourself against aggressive creatures
  • Propulsion Cannon: Lift, attract, and launch small and medium sized objects

Like the Seamoth Submersible, the PRAWN suit may be docked with a Moon Pool or Cyclops Submarine for repairs, recharging, and modification.

Aurora Wreckage Expanded

Also included in the PRAWN Update: Brand new sections of the Aurora, ready for you to explore. There are a multitude of story points and items to be found amongst the wreckage.



Find out more on the PRAWN Update website. Write us a comment below and let us know what you think of the update!

Update 67 is now available on Steam. We haven’t named this update, because it is a little baby update. Unlike Farming, Power Nap, Machinery, and other updates, 67 doesn’t include any big exciting new features. It does include important and useful improvements to the game. Read on to find out what’s inside.



Subnautica now supports the use of Xbox controllers when playing on PC. You can adjust controller bindings in a new options section in the main menu. Controllers do not yet work in the main menu itself – Sorry about that, we intend to remedy this in future.



Thanks to some optimisation work we’ve done for the Xbox version of Subnautica, the game will now run slightly better on low-end PCs. If you are running Subnautica on PC at or near minimum-specification, you may notice slightly better frame-rates.



We’ve applied a blowtorch to the loading screen. It will now crash far less often on Windows. The ‘grey screen’ crash, where the Subnautica would become non-responsive and crash, was one of our most frustrating bugs. After this update, we expect you will see it a lot less often.

Also included in Update 67 are:

  • Drowning in Hardcore mode will not longer cause an endless black screen
  • Seamoth and player turn speeds are now more consistent
  • FPS command now available in console
  • VR Bugs have been squashed – you can now make a climb & use the Mobile Vehicle Bay properly
  • Locked but known technologies (e.g. Seamoth in Constructor) will display grey icons in fabrication menus

And that’s it for Update 67. To be notified when a new major update is available on Steam, sign up to the development update newsletter. We’re looking forward to bringing you the next big Subnautica update!

The Power Nap Update has been released on Steam! Check out the Power Nap Update site to see all the juicy, energising details about what’s included.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ZxlyU2w7Q

Recharge your batteries using the new Battery Charger. The Battery Charger can be used to recharge exhausted batteries for flashlights, light arrays, and more.



Have depleted powercells as well? You can also create Powercell Charger for all your powercell charging needs.



Time to rest your weary head on your new bed. Three options for beds make all your Habitat dreams come true. Complete with laying-down animation.



Follow around Gasopods and pick up their gas orbs as materials for the new gas torpedo. Once you have some gas pods and titanium, head over to the Seamoth upgrade station to make your torpedoes. These missiles release a cloud of toxic gas upon impact.



Sea Treaders are Subnautica’s gentle giants. As they tread along, they drop basalt rocks and (sometimes) manure. The latter can be used for bio-energy!



You’ve seen them around but not like this — Introducing the final model for the Solar Panels! Just when you thought solar energy couldn’t get any better.



Want to be notified next time Subnautica receives a big update? Sign up to the Subnautica Mailing List! You can also follow development on Subnautica’s Trello Board. Leave us feedback by pressing F8 in game, and by posting comments below. Thanks for playing, and happy diving!
