Take Mad Max, set in a post-apocalyptic landscape where water and gasoline are the two most precious commodities in the world. What is infuriating, however, is when designers have a solution right in front of them and they overlook it. I’m not advocating infinite, procedurally generated worlds there’s enough busywork in open-world games as it is. But there are still areas where, if you roam far enough, you slam into an invisible wall, as is often the case with similar titles. Some games do attempt to use geography to corral the player Fallout: New Vegas, for example, has mountains that bar your progress. There are few things more immersion-damaging than seeing a warning message flash across the screen, followed by a near-instant game over. So how do you handle it? In the case of Subnautica: Below Zero, Unknown Worlds has devised a way of penning the player in without making it seem like an insult, a slap in the face that you’ve dared to wonder what’s “out there.” It doesn’t matter how open your open-world game is - sooner or later your players are going to try breaking out of their sandbox. The scanner room will mark the locations of the resource, allowing the player to simply fetch.This article contains mild spoilers for Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero. This handy module will save the player's time by searching the nearby area for desired materials. To create a scanner room with the habitat builder players will need five titanium, two copper, one gold, and one table coral sample. These can spawn in a few biomes including the Grassy Plateaus, Bulb Zone, Grand Reef, and around large pieces of wreckage from the Aurora.
If searching for diamonds the old-fashioned way isn't fast enough, Subnautica players may decide to invest in finding 3 scanner room fragments. Additionally, players hoping to build a reinforced diving suit or a prawn suit will need to reserve two diamonds for each. The modification station is also very useful and is capable of upgrading specific tools in Subnautica, it requires one diamond among other materials to build. Gathering two diamonds will be required to craft this device at the fabricator. The first tool players will want to build with their diamonds is the laser cutter, as this will allow access to sealed doors in wreckages the player may come across. Shale outcrops spawn less frequently here but can be found on the giant mushroom 'trunks' that grow in this biome. This biome can be found northeast and northwest of Lifepod 5 due to its shape, with the northwest section being the safer option. Another place to look for diamonds during early gameplay is the Mushroom Forest. If the player has not built a compass yet the Aurora can be used to navigate, as it will always land on the eastern edge of the map with the bow pointing northeast. The Jellyshroom Cave entrances can be found in the Grassy Plateaus biome, west or southwest of Lifepod 5. Jellyshroom Cave will spawn shale outcrops and should be the closest option for beginning players. These biomes will be close to the randomized location of Lifepod 5, the player's starting base, and won't have many forms of aggressive fauna. Players looking for diamonds will need to visit specific biomes to find them, they have a 38.5% chance to drop from shale outcrops or can be spotted and collected in their raw form.ĭiamonds can be found in some biomes that are relatively accessible in the early stages of exploration. Diamonds are a raw material required to make some of the advanced equipment available at later stages of the game.
Collecting these components can be difficult, as some only spawn at the deepest of depths and require tools to reach them.
Subnautica is an open-world survival game where finding rare components is often key to progress.
