like that chubbyemu video where a dude tried microdosing on shrooms via injection but actually managed to turn a normally not excessively dangerous fungus into a blood parasite.
Imagine you're a fish, minding your own business, and then some insane alien swims past you, grabs an entire stalk of kelp, and shoves it into his mouth.
Through rough napkin math a cubic meter of kelp is roughly 145400 calories, and assuming a creepvine is roughly the same diameter that a person is wide, a creepvine 10 meters tall contains roughly 1.256 cubic meters of kelp. Then, by my estimation there are roughly 300 creepvines in the kelp forest you cut down, so there are 376.8 cubic meters of creepvine in the forest, meaning Riley consumed an estimated 54786720 calories. Assuming Riley used roughly 1 million calories per year, the rough estimate on google, this would be enough food to survive for nearly 55 years. Edit: I could redo the calculations using asparagus instead of kelp as that is likely a better estimator of caloric density of creepvine stalk. Edit 2: Using the fact that asparagus is ~0.159 times as calorie dense as kelp, I come up with a revised calorie total of 8716069, meaning enough food to last for 8.7 years excluding nutrient deficiencies presumed to be associated with exclusive consumption of creepvine.
Hey, check out my comment, there I use the actual values provided by the game to calculate the calories contained in the Creepvine forest. Turns out creepvines are kinda nutrient-deficient. Also, it's 193 creepvines, not 300 ;)
Seeing the beginning part of the kelp forest, it looks to have a lot of vines, suppose on average there were 7 kelp per vine, and i guess 120 vines to eat, thats 120x7 or 840 kelps. Now lets say every kelp is 100g, which is 43kCal. That would be 840x43 or 36120 kCals. You said how many calories this would be so that would mean 36120x1000 or 36120000 calories. You theoretically ate around 36,120,000 calories from that kelp forest. In perspective, 1 million calories is actually 400 to 500 days worth of food, and you just singlehandedly ate 36 million calories
There is just one issue with your result. The recommend calorie intake is roughly 2000kCal or 2 000 000Cal a day. With your total of 36 Million calories eaten it would only add up to roughly 18 days of energy not your 400 - 500 days. Other than that your estimations for the amount of kelp are solid
@@zwergnaseerik5118 But in how many days did he do that ? Because in a somewhat hostile environment one can expect to burn very much large amounts of calories. Especially spending the whole day swimming and exhausting yourself underwater.
@@machintrucGaming true Under these conditions the Energy requirement would be even higher. Also The chewing of all that mass of Kelp would probably also acount for a lot of energy. So it would probably be even less than 18 days
2:07 This is the story of a man named Bacon. Bacon worked on a platform on the internet, where he was employee @TheLastBacon. @TheLastBacon's job was simple: He made videos about a game called Subnautica. His viewers would get him ideas on what to do, and he did these for them. This is what Bacon did on every day of every month of every year. And althoug others might have considered it soul rending, Bacon relished every moment that he received a video idea, as though he was exactly made for this job. And Bacon was happy. And then one day something very peculiar happened, something that would forever change Bacon: He had an video idea of his own. Is it possible to eat the entirety of kelp in Subnautica? No one ever asked that question before, so Bacon set out to try and find an answer to that question of his, for his viewers would surely want to now the answers too.
Recently, when I was playing Subnautica, a Reeper followed my Sea Moth away from the crash zone into a kelp forest. When I went there a few days later, the Reeper was still there. So I am wondering, if it is possible to lead every leviathan into one corner of the map, so you have no leviathan wanting to kill you. I have no idea if they respawn, but could be worth a video.
I had two absolute chads in my current playthrough (deathrun mod on hard settings & survival mode) who gifted me tools containing ion batteries in their time capsules. I have three of those beauties now. My sincerest gratitude to those legends.
Some of the tooltips for cooked fish describe texture and/or taste. Fair warning, this will be a long comment because I'm gonna do my best to imagine what most meals on 4546B might be like. Sticking to Subnautica instead of doing it and BZ, just to make it simpler. In peepers, the eyeballs are what gets eaten (being described as "protein rich" in the tooltip) so probably kinda gelatinous. Having seen an eyeball dissection as part of my lab class for college, I would NOT want to eat an eyeball. The hoverfish are described as being low fat and reptilian, so probably like eating poultry (birds are closely related to reptiles, and if you look only at phylogeny, basically are reptiles) or snake or lizard. They probably taste like white meat chicken or turkey. The oculus is described as "dark, dense meat" so probably somewhat resembling the lower, dark meat portion of chicken or turkey. I really want to imagine the gel sack has a taste and texture similar to walmart fruit smiles. I don't know why. Those things are a damn guilty pleasure of mine. Bladderfish are "spongy, gristly" which just sounds disgusting. Best cured (reminiscent of jerky), kept as pets or used to make water. Boomerangs are "good eating around the fins" which doesn't say much but the cured boomerang is described as "tough but flavorsome" so they probably have a strong but not overpowering fishy flavor that would go well with kelp, which is quite salty. Bulb bush samples are probably similar to a potato. Bulbo trees are probably like a cross between cucumber and watermelon, which honestly sounds really good. High water content with just a tinge of sweetness. Chinese Potatoes are probably just GMO potatoes. Coffee is coffee. Ryley strikes me as a black coffee kinda guy, so hot and very bitter, with a savory aftertaste. Creepvine is basically alien kelp. I've eaten kelp (or maybe it was seaweed, po-tay-to po-tah-to) at an Asian restaurant, not as part of sushi but on its own. It's extremely salty with a tinge of sweet like land-grown green vegetables and has a texture best described as overcooked broccoli if overcooked broccoli was a bit less overcooked and stayed together rather than turning into mush. Disinfected water is just water, keep the kharaa. It tastes like water and probably has just the tiniest tinge of a bleachy, chemical aftertaste like american tap water. Large Filtered Water is just water, keep the kharaa. It tastes like water. Reclaimed water is piss and sweat that's been distilled. It probably tastes a bit salty and contains a lot of microplastics from the containers the stillsuit drains into. Filtered water is imperfectly filtered using a dead fish's carcass, kharaa included. Probably tastes vaguely like fish shit and pus from the nearby infected stalker's big kharaa pustules but hey, water is water when you're desperate. Garryfish has a bit of a floral flavor. Eating this fish makes you shout "HAHA, GARY!" and run at people with a chainsaw like a deranged clone. Holefish are gelatinous and according to the game, turn into a sort of fish mousse when dehydrated. Not very good eating on their own but food is food when you're starving. Hoopfish entry says to never eat the antennae. Not sure why. Tetrodotoxin? Bioluminescent bacteria that can become infectious? Avoid unless starving just in case. Apparently tastes like fish when cured. Lanternfruit entry says nothing (what a shame) but deep down I really want them to taste like oranges, sweet and sour at the same time like a good old earth citrus fruit. They probably more resemble a tomato, however, as vibrant looking things tend to be compensating for something. Magmarang is "rather picante," so Ryley isn't without spicy foods on 4546B. Somehow, living in the inactive lava zone means this fish comes pre-seasoned with capsaicin or a similar compound. Marblemelons probably taste like a melon, and have a high water content for a similar mouthfeel. Nutrient blocks are probably savory and slightly jerky-like flavor like pemmican, though far more dry as nothing suggests they're held together with tallow. Eyeye are "hard to keep down" so probably either taste horrible or have a very undesirable texture. Again, I wouldn't want to eat an eyeball. Reginald are "pungent and smoky" and cured Reginald are "overly salty but extremely filling." So far probably the best meat-based meal fish. Reginald steaks with a creepvine garnish and magmarang sauce would probably be very nice. Snacks are junk food. Tasty but not filling whatsoever, and the bag is probably 3/4ths air and 1/4th actual junk food. Spinefish are much like the Hoopfish in that you should never eat the antennae but have no redeeming qualities to offset the danger of potential food poisoning, due to being entirely bland. Yeah, I'd be keeping nutrient blocks on me at all times, and bumrushing every boomarang, magmarang and reginald I saw, or going vegetarian. Not many fish that have a good texture. IF peeper eyes aren't gelatinous like earth animal eyes, I would maybe consider eating peeper.
Imagine you're a Reaper Leviathan swimming next to the aurora and knowing you can't locate your favourite human snack because of the kelp forest. Well, problem solved. I guess the Reaper can easily eat now :)
Thanks to Salvner, I learnt the scroll key trick that speedrunners use to break rocks faster, but I never used it to cut vines! As for the creepvines, I always noticed the following using a heat blade (my game is modded, so maybe one of the mods - like tweaks and fixes - adjusted the game defaults): 1- For the vines that are without clusters and look thin like in 7:21, it took me five slices to cut them, 2- For most of the vines with seed clusters, it took me five slices, 3- Some vines with seed clusters took eight slices, 4- Some vines without seed clusters took 15 slices, while others took 12 slices
This could save you in your main save: see which creatures can be fed peepers. This could save you because in the vanilla, you can feed Reapers peepers and they leave you alone. So testing this in a setting where everything is hyper-aggressive could save your game in the future. To the best of my knowledge the feeding works with everything except for sea dragons.
Its so cool to see how active subnautica still is. I love your videos because you ask the same questions I ask and make it in a video. Excited for the next one.
Btw I have a challenge where basically a sea dragon is on the surface, and I tried it before with dev console and it’s terrifying ASF when the sea dragon rushes at you with Mach 4 💀
In the light of the moon a little bacon lay on a life pod. One Sunday morning the warm sun cam up... and POP, out of the egg came a tiny, very hungry bacon. He started looking for some food. On Monday he ate through one hundred creepvine. But he was still hungry. On Tuesday he ate through two hundred creepvine, but he was still hungry. On Wednesday he ate through three hundred creepvine, but he was still hungry. On Thursday he ate through four hundred creepvine, but he was still hungry. On Friday he ate through five hundred creepvine, but he was still hungry. On Saturday he ate through one piece of creepvine pie, One creepvine ice-cream cone, One pickled creepvine , One slice of creepvine cheese, One slice of stalker salami, One water bottle, One piece of food block, One stalker sausage, One creepvine cupcake, And one slice of Creepvine Bread That night he had a stomach ache! The next day was Sunday again. The bacon ate through one nice creepvine, and after that he felt better. Now he wasn't hungry anymore--and he wasn't a little bacon anymore. He was a big fat bacon. He built a small house, Called a lifepod, Around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks. Then he cut a hole in the lifepod, pushed his way out and... He became a beautiful slice of bacon! I worked on this for a while please sub to my RU-vid channel m.youtube.com/@zealotzinc
When you cut Kelp even full inventory - it still being cut, but resource simply get wasted. Thus Kelp or any other plant can be destroyed without receiving seed/plant matter. So you actually didn't completely ate the Kelp forest and threw away some of it
I once challenged myself to a Hardcore Vegetarian Only run, which meant no eating (or drinking) any fish. So it was kelp forest food and bleached water from the get-go until I found the grow beds. It’s doable.
I remember my first play through of this game. It was ok the Xbox, and my little brother (who was 6 or 7 at the time) started bawling because we beat the game. He was worried that the four cuddle fish we found would be lonely. So I released two and ejected two in the capsule, with a bunch of equipment with ion batteries.
Funny story, I quite actually ate the entire beginning kelp forest up to the small part close to the island because it was my first playthrough and I didn't know you could grab fish. God I love the thalasophobia and hours of cutting kelp to not die on an Xbox.
A challenge I would love to see is to collect all limited items on the map, all the ones that don't respawn, and do a big base full of lockers with all of them
I won’t be surprised if I see a video about eating every single piece of metal come from this channel and this makes me wonder if bacon needs to be put in Arkham Asylum
imagine a stalker sitting there, existing, and this smooth monkey thing swims past and pulls a kirby and inhales an entire kelp forest. i feel like that would be interesting :3
idk why but in the past few weeks ive seen an increase in subnautica content in my algorithm and i found your channel again and i also started to play subnautica again :)
Hey, the "restaurant 4548B" joke gave me an idea : a video on how to cook the fishes from Subnautica. By theorizing the taste of the flesh, depending on the alimentation of the fish, you could gess, based on real life fish, the best sauce, side dishes, etc. Could be extremly intresting to hear how to make a proper Peeper stew !
"I'm hungry, so I need to find food. Let's see; can we cut these kelp vines and eat them? Oh! We can. Well, now that makes me wonder: can we cut it all down? *Hold, please.* "
If the sea emperor can see what you do, she must be questioning why this random alien has decided to devour an entire kelp forest instead of trying to escape.
