I picked up Subnautica. After about an hour, it's definitely very pretty but hasn't quite sucked me in yet.

Hmm. Got the second-tier air tank (nice), the rad suit, and the scoot thingy. Did a lap around the wreck but wasn't able to find a point of ingress.

I'm not super sure where to go next? Could go into those caves but that scares me a bit and I'm not sure what the reward is likely to be.

Also I got eaten by a Reaper Leviathan :< :< :<

Is this one of those games where you're just implicitly expected to be looking up guides online? 'Cause like, I've had to do that for a couple basic materials and that saps a bit of fun out of discovery :|

(water purification and the location of cave sulfur were both super non-obvious to me)

Allegedly I should be able to do base construction by now? I've had no indication of it :<

@starkatt Build a habitat builder. You can build a base just out of the connector tubes.

@Doephin maybe I just missed the blueprint :/

@starkatt There's no blueprint to find. It will unlock when you can build it. Make sure to always pick up any new resource you can as that unlocks stuff.
