There are several islands as well, and I was surprised to discover elaborate alien constructions within them. The water has a pleasant amount of resistance to it and is simply astonishing during the day when rays of the sun break through its surface. No matter where you decide to go, swimming feels absolutely amazing. This is also where less common resources and objects can be discovered. Once you reach deeper points, some smaller predators begin to appear and, understandably, the field of view becomes limited.
The AI itself will often scan the area to pinpoint procurement points for specific resources. This information is then stored in a databank for easy access later. Most objects within the environment, like local flora and fauna, and non-organic parts can be scanned to reveal detailed information about them or even unlock blueprints for creating new equipment. Along with those, you can find broken parts from the ship – the remains of which can be seen in the distance – as well as other wreckages, and explore small tunnels in the vicinity. Shallow waters surrounding the pod are mostly home to peaceful herbivores and some plants. The fabricator is not only used to manufacture materials but also create things like an oxygen tank, a repair tool and a scanner, among many others. In the meantime, you can also collect resources for improving equipment. Your primary goal is to find sources of food and clean water in order to survive, as well as search for a potential way off the planet.

From there, assisted by a female AI, you’re pretty much free to go (swim) wherever you please. A small Lifepod, equipped with several useful utilities – including a medical unit, a storage box, a fabricator for creating new items, and a radio – is your sole refuge on a planet mostly covered by water. Subnautica begins with a huge spaceship crashing into the planet of 4546B and you take control of one of the surviving crew members. Here we will focus on the Survival mode, as other modes are simply variations of it.
There are four modes to choose from Survival: a regular story mode Freedom, in which hunger and thirst are disabled a Hardcore mode which introduces permadeath and a Creative mode which focuses solely on creating habitats. Because of this, exploration becomes limited and might be why the night cycle is much shorter, lasting only about 5 minutes of real time.
During the day, the ocean floor is brightly illuminated during the night, even upper layers are too dark to see in without a flashlight. Subnautica also features a dynamic day and night cycle.
