I'm new, please interact with me!
So I'm a new Subnautica blog. Here's some stuff I wanna talk about:
Is it possible to apply real world physics to Subnautica, including things like how scuba diving works, and the risks of decompression? I think it is if Planet 4546B has less than a third the gravity of Earth. I have thoughts. I've been doing math! Edit: here's my thoughts.
Eating nothing but fish and raw vegetables isn't a great diet! What recipes can you make with the ingredients available in the games? Are there things that you could potentially eat with a little preparation that aren't available in the games? I've been coming up with recipes using real world analogues for game ingredients. This is much easier in Below Zero than it is in Subnautica, so that's where I've been focusing. Edit: Here's some initial thoughts about this. Here's some recipe ideas.
There's a certain point in the games where everything gets way too easy. I'm writing a story set in Below Zero where Robin experiences a series of catastrophes that leave her without fabrication technology. She has to homestead it. I've been trying to figure out the logistics of that.
There's a document in Below Zero which you can find in the Mercury II which mentions cooking with a jailbroken fabricator. Fabrication tech is really fascinating once you stop to think about it. It's an atomic rearranger. How would you go about cooking with one? What else could you do with it?
There's an entire conversation to be had about whether uploading brain patterns really preserves a person, or whether it just makes a copy of a person and the original person dies. (See also: the Star Trek Transporters are Actually Murder theory.) I haven't seen anyone talking about it! I want to hear Al-An's thoughts on it! Edit: Here's a mini fic I wrote about a conversation between Al-An and Robin on the subject.
And of course I'm always interested in worldbuilding: Architect society, Alterra society, further details about the biology of aliens, what living with an alien in your head is actually like, all of it!
I'm fifty pages into a Below Zero fic draft and my roommate is tired of me talking about it! Please reblog to help me find people to talk about this stuff with!
