THE DISEASE RESEARCH FACILITY - Subnautica - PART 10 - Blind Playthrough 

For every comment I get about freeing the cuddlefish I'm gonna leave them in my locker even longer! 😈😈😈

"ugh are you kidding me I don't have copper ._." - said by every single person who has played Subnautica ever lol

28:20 Dude just went to sleep in a de-energized base with no oxygen.

I'm just saying this in case this is a confusion due to 2nd language scenario, but just because something sank doesn't mean it was on the surface. A submarine 500m under water can sink to the sea floor. The Alien facility was suspended by cables in that cavern and when the cables broke it sank to the floor.

Since you were wondering why it seemed to hard to attach base pieces, you can’t attach them to walls with reinforcements, windows, wall items like the plants or anything that touches lockers. Considering your walls are so full that’s why you can’t attach anything properly

You keep using your sonar even when you're in shallow water or facing a wall. Each time you do that uses about 1% of your Seamoth's power supply. That's why you're running out of power so fast.

Lolol. So many times in this episode your base goes, "Emergency power only, oxygen production offline," and you go, "alright, I guess that means it's time to lay down in this oxygen-free room for the long sleep."

28:17 - It's a good thing you don't need oxygen while sleeping. 😄

I think some people already commented it, but the alien containment unit is an aquarium:) you can just keep the fish inside or built a Secound one of you want to keep them separate - setting them free in the ocean is also an option of course ;) I‘m looking forward to the next episode! Please free the cuddle fish from the locker tho lol

The two cuddlefish in the locker are just so sad...

Captain Lukael:Looking a way to solve energy deficiency desperately! Acid mushrooms chilling outside waiting to be put in bioreactor

lol, "I wish I had a bigger aquarium, all I have is this giant tank for growing creature eggs" I'm dying

Better a cuddlefish in a tank than two in the locker. But maybe freedom is best after all.

The facility was attached to the walls. You just saw the broken metal, it sank as a result.

Theme of the playthrough. "I should have built that much earlier"😂

You can scan the big skeleton inside the Disease Research Facility. You also went past another cool scannable skeleton on your way to the facility

"You can jump..?😯" joke is still good)

The reason you've become more forgetful is probably brain damage from constantly sleeping without any oxygen around you :P

@55:50 It is your spamming of the sonar that is draining your power cell. It will use 2 energy each time you use it which is 1% of your cell at the moment.

Hope our boy experiments with growing his own plants, would help with the rarer plants that he needs. Blood oil and deep shrooms and such.

Man. This is SUCH a good playthrough. Your analyses and speculations are seriously next level smart. That's not to say your guesses are right about everything (understandably, of course) but you're doing such an incredible job of deciphering the clues and wondering about the right kinds of things and making sense of the sci-fi jargon they throw at you, and just I'm so loving this. So far one of the best playthroughs I've ever seen of this game -- thanks for doing this!

Creature Eggs: Gotta Hatch 'Em All !

Love how you got to the cave entrance and then instead of just going in you decided to go to enforcement platform to find the cave entrance you've just been to. Classic Subnautica moment right there.

For a second as you opened the bioreactor I thought the crash fish was going inside. Good to see you use that stasis rifle to test out the capabilities for science and hope you discover many more details the game provides.

I suggest you cultivate plants that are in dangerous areas or hard to reach. You can plant them in growbeds and some land flora can be planted in pots. Made my own little deep sea garden near my shallows base and did the same with plants from shallower waters when I made my deep sea base. Some plant materials have different colored icon backgrounds; purple with cyan edges for plantable aquatic flora and lime-dark green gradient for plantable land flora.

The plot thickens! Deeper, deeper, figuratively and literally... 🙂 Since you are missing the Cyclops blueprints, maybe consider other vehicles you can build and see how deep they can go? ...and, yeah, as you noticed yourself the sonar is a power-hog but still one of the more useful devices, so worth it, I think.

My Dynamic Scanner Blips mod makes the HUD chip way more useful by changing the size of the blips based on their distance and it also shows the distance

I did the yellow/black seamoth theme too! Makes it way easier to find in the water plus once you get that perimeter defense system it really..........stings 😁

If you want to find copper in limestone you have to scan for limestone chunks, not for copper. Don't use the sonar constantly btw - it requires power, and quite a lot of it. You should release the Cuddlefish outside your base btw.

I finally caught up with the current episodes! Thank you for such a thoughtful playthrough! The game feels very different when you read the PDA.

Some alien containment tips: You can stack multiple alien habitats on top of each other inside multipurpose rooms also stacked. The only place you can keep fish grown in one is inside one, releasing it into the wild, or (for most of them) inside a bioreactor Fish released into the wild are a lot less aggressive towards you than their wild counterparts You can put multiples of the same fish inside an alien containment and they will breed for more - useful for food, water or even power with bioreactor

Well if I had a dog, I would not lock them down in a storage. especially those ones who are nearly extinct and need emotional connection for growth.

Ignore the cuddlefish comments. I get why its mentioned alot in other comments, but play at your own pace and figure it out in your own time. Its not the end of the world, despite what other comments say lol. Really enjoying your playthrough style, thank you for avoiding spoilers and trying for a genuine blind playthrough. Hunting for cyclops parts is a rite of passage for subnautica players. The seasoned players know where to go, you'll get there too, dont feel like you're failing there. I've said it before and I'll say it again: keep exploring. New directions, a biome you haven't combed though thoroughly, etc. There's neat things to be found in every biome. I still surprise myself and I'm a veteran player! And dont feel bad about forgetting a tablet or beacon, I'm sure everyone has done that at some point lol. That and never having enough copper and silver. Ugh, the constant grind.

@38:20 The mushrooms are actually pretty average energy for the reactor. The game doesn't tell you what each thing is worth, mushroom is 210, but a Peeper is worth 420 each. The best one is actually the Occulus in the jellyshroom cave. The water machine needs 4 solar panels to run constantly even through the night. I think the scanner room need about the same while it is actively scanning for something.

One day I hope I come home from a long day at work. Open the cupboard to get something and see living fish staring out at me. 😆 🤣 😂. Sticking a fish in your locker is something I never thought of doing. Love it! Xxx

1:18:22 "Don't do this at home"-Subnautica Edition.

A cool challenge for you would be to try to find one of every egg or small creature and put them in your Alien Containment haha.

Ahh, the quartz episode. 10/10.

The brine rivers are cool. And exist in our oceans which is even more awesome

Bonjour Capitaine ! Very nice progress today ! Here is a tip if you wish : The large multipurpose room was only added in the game after a few months of the release and can be very interesting. Another thing, i consider the wall lockers to be better because they don't need glass, can be put on walls and can be labelled. They hold slightly less stuff though. There is so much else i wanna tell but i respect your wish. I thought these ''hints'' wouldn't be so bad. Keep up the good work !

Don't know what your current personal consensus is about playing Below Zero, but I would clearly recommend it. It's not as good as the first game but it's still good and definitely worth a playthrough.

Everyone starts the game jumping at every sound, and ends the game backtalking reapers and I love it. Hearing you mock the crabsnakes while you swim right past them is such a flip from when you initially were terrified to even enter their area.

Subnautica is absolutely a game you have to take slowly , i don't see the point in speedrunning the story on a first playthrough . appreciate what unknown worlds has created for us

1:10:11 I always thought it was funny that even with pinning recipes I still had no clue at times why I was building something 😆 Other times I'd go out for one resource, fill up my entire inventory with OTHER things and then 🤦‍♀when I realized I didn't have the one thing I needed to grab 1:14:16 Look at them!!! 😍 1:40:50 This happened in my game too with the music cutting out randomly: Idk if it is just a normal bug but it happened even when out of my PDA, sort of loses the immersion when it cuts out so suddenly lol 1:43:03 🧟‍♀uh ohhhhhh Congrats on scanning the Reaper! 🙌 Happy 10th episode 🎉 Excited to see what's next!

You should try Astroneer sometime. It's a game where you explore planets, gather resources, build bases, and observe alien structures, but in space. It's also a lot more sandbox oriented and low-key with no hunger or thirst to worry about and you can also deform or build terrain to your liking. Totally sounds like something you'd enjoy.

its that time of the week again ❗❗

Release the cuddlefish outside your base and you'll have a friend for life!

That cuddlefish moment is so funny. Do you store your cats in a locker too?

Wooo I’m so happy for another Subnautica video to dive into after a long day! ❤

lol, "I need to dive deeper" he was in front of the opening and back to base, very unfortunate 😂

Alright, I'm not done with this Ep yet , but I had to comnent. Bruh.. the Cuddle fish. "Why dont they fit into the fishtank?" "I guess I'll just have to stuff you in the locker , I dont know what else to do with them?!" BRUH lol, what other body of water could you possibly think to put them in .. 🤔🤣 I'll give you a hint.. you're in the middle of a huge ocean planet. Great series so far tho 😁

I felt like I was watching Dora the explorer when you were trying to remember what the quartz was for! Im Literally yelling THE LOCKER at my screen hahah

Another fun episode, you are honestly experiencing the game the way most players do! You learn what you need to take for exploring, gotta have the tablets, beacons, and such because you never know when you'll need them, and the grind of gathering materials for building the new things. Just gonna say again, might want to go through your blueprints and make everything at least once to see if it's useful. With the long distances you are traveling you might want to consider building an outpost base, so you don't have to constantly go so far back for supplies. A deep water base is extremely helpful, even just a basic one. Looking forward to more exploration next time, have a wonderful week!

alien containments can work as an elevators in tall bases, stacked on top of each other you can swim up multiple floors quickly

Lukael: are ya ready subnauticans? "EY EY, CAPTIAN!!"

I'm pretty sure the facility was never on the surface but was floating suspended in the cavern below as opposed to on the floor of the cavern.

1:34:17 I think the structure was originally attached to the walls and ceiling , suspended within the cave with cables instead of sitting at the bottom of it.

Love your playthru so far ❤ i really recommend building the prawn suit and getting the grapple and drill arm. Soon youll need to enter depths beyond the seamoths maximum depth range, you need the prawn and/or the cyclops to explore them. I tend to prefer the prawn as its faster and more mobile then the cyclops but theres no reason not to use both. Good luck! 🎉

Yay!! More subnautica 😁 Happy Friday!

Great video man. Keep up the good work!

DUDE!!! Growbeds are a thing!!! If you need more of any kind of flora, you can plant what you have and grow a bunch!!!

You're doing great, a couple of iffy moments, but you're figuring things out faster than I did😂😂😂

Finally you use the scanner room. Now i can sleep well.

Ohh, I remember the pain of not having a tablet when finding the facility. I think I started carrying them around just in case even when there was clearly no reason. Then again, I stockpile *everything*. The number of water bottles in my lockers at the end of an average playthrough is more than a little ridiculous. You are braver than I; still haven't tried scanning a reaper. Maybe this time around, since I got two stasis rifles in time capsules.

Great playthrough! You'll learn soon enough that the Water Filtration Machine is the worst thing to build in your base. Slow as hell and drains a ridiculous amount of power. Based on where you are, your best avenue for water is bleach... you've got a lot of salt now and those coral tubes are all around you!

the lost river biome that you just found has 4 entrances across the map, you're going to need a lot of beacons from now on unless you download a map mod

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another fun episode to watch. The reason it tells you: "If you can hear it it can see you*, is because Echolocation means it sees with it's ears, like Sonar basically so it can "see", as far as it voice reaches, just like your Sonar. Also, fun fact, the "Natural Selection II" poster in Subnautica actually advertises a real game, said to be set in the same universe as Subnautica, but I believe it is set after the Subnautica Games.

Bumblebutt for the win! 🐝 One of my favorite parts about Subnautica is building the alien containment and hatching all the eggs from the different species. Then putting them in my pocket to release into the ocean before beating the game lol

Oh guys... did you really convince this innocent man to use Bumblebutt. 😆 Markiplier for the win I guess. 😆

1:09:29 For some reason the bobblehead is marked as a fragment, so if you scan it you'll get 3 titanium and not the glass.

You can see yourself as you thought. Just replace hatch in the scanner room with window and then you can pilot a drone to peek at yourself piloting drone through the window.

1:07:50 It's also food and water or energy for the bioreactor. Growbeds are also very userful since you can grow things that you'll need more than once or twice.

I've just finished this game today, i can't wait to see you play the below zero

1:43:35 We are getting to the good stuff!

with how shallow your base is 4-5 solar panels will power everything without ever needing anything else. (the solar panels produce more power the closer to the surface they are, since you are making them above the water they will produce the maximum possible)

I haven’t tried it but I heard you could grow a bunch of crab snake eggs in the containment tank, then release them near warpers and watch the carnage. 👊👊👊

19:12 Ooh! That’s where I put my base!! The free thermal energy from that vent is really nice. Plus, the view overlooking that little cliff, leading into the red grass, with the creepvine forest off to the side.. it’s just really nice. I get the kelp-forest ost from inside my base. A couple solar panels, a bioreactor, an alien containment unit to farm Reginalds for the bioreactor, in addition to the thermal reactor means I never lose power, even with a water filter and a moonpool! I'd keep that spot in mind if you ever plan to move your base.

23:00 - Seamoth Arms is actually a very popular mod.

Base-building mechanic 'spoiler' re: Alien Containment: They stack along with the Multipurpose rooms. So if you stack MP rooms and build ACUs in all of them they will make a big column of containment, and you can swim up through the center (add hatches for the floors you want access to, or ladders on the outer rim)

At 0:30, As always facial grooming is 10 out of 10 dude! You rock !!

lol I didn't know my brother had a bobblehead in this game. That's funny. Never found it in my playthrough.

I hope you scan the big fossil near the ghost leviathan, the information from that scan is more than anything quite interesting fan service, you couldn't scan it in the previous episode because you got close to one of the ribs instead of the head

MORE CONTAINMENT UNITS! SCREW GETTING OFF THE PLANET, TIME TO BUILD A ZOO 😂

This was an excellent episode, once again. I've been looking forward to your exploration of the Disease Research Facility. You know what you need to do next, but don't feel like you need to be in a hurry. If you go too fast, the game will be over before you know it, unfortunately. I think a typical first playthrough is like 15-20 hours depending on how thorough you try to be. You're doing great, I don't mind if you farm mats a lot, we've all done it. Oh, and I hope you keep playing with the alien containment. I have a navigation tip, but if it's too spoilery, please remove it. The signals you receive, i.e. lifepods, are strategically placed around the map near key features and can be used to help with navigation. For example, one of the lifepods talks about the crabsnakes attacking, though it doesn't use that name. That lifepod is near the entrances to the jellyshroom caves, and you've used them many, many times. There are multiple entrances to go deeper, and most of them are marked closely by a signal location you've already unlocked. I will not say more.

@1:23:00 In the early access the Reaper actually came after you from much farther away than it does now. They adjusted the range so I guess the PDA entry was more accurate initially.

Cool find with that Marguerit PDA. I just finished fully farming those caves on my second playthrough, and have never seen it before. She doesn't have nearly as many log entries as the other Degasi crew, so it's nice to hear her perspective in her own words. Ey you got the reaper! Good job. I have scanned [spoilers], but not a reaper before. I think I would be too afraid of getting one-shotted, even with the rifle. Also glad you found a cave entrance to Disease Research. It is the one thing about the game that I had to look up online. The hint the game gives you is a little misleading. Because it IS southeast of the enforcement platform like it says, but the cave entrance to actually take you there is not.

Do you need quart?!?... Of quartz you do!!!!

You would put the cuddlefish in this small tank? So cruel! Edit: WHAT?! You put them in a LOCKER?!

You should know that the sonar draws a lot of energy, so try to use it wisely, and also consider having a spare power cell in your inventory for the seamoth (not sure if this is considered a spoiler for you or not, but if don't you know this, well, you can replace the power cell in your Seamoth, which is located at its bottom) In addition, there are two things that you should know that the game never tells you about them. They might fall under LIGHT SPOILERS (not story-related spoilers, but rather spoilers related to how to effectively utilize the tools you already possess): 1- The Seaglide Perimeter Defence system can be charged by holding the key that triggers it to work. The longer you press they key, the bigger the charge is, and the higher energy consumption is. There is a MORE LIGHT SPOILERY HINT: If grabbed by - say - a reaper leviathan, a single zap (without charge) is enough to release the seamoth from it, but you can utilize the longer charge to keep other creatures nearby from approaching your seamoth 2- Similarly, the statis rifle can be charged also by holding the key that triggers it to work. The longer the charge, the more energy it consumes, and the bigger the statis circle and longer it stays. Also, MORE LIGHT SPOILERY HINT: the creature held within the statis field - like leviathans - could still attack if you get closer to its mouth

Backseating is not going anywhere and even less so as the channel grows. If I was you I would try and find a way to not let it bother me. It's not gonna stop bro. lol

you really should try planting stuff. they give you planters and growbeds for a reason, blood oil, creepvine seeds, cut the shrooms for seeds, gel sacs for seeds, have a few bulbos in the base for food and water and to keep the bioreactor going. at least you finally got scanner room hud chip going. and look for the outcrops not the ores for copper, lead etc. metal salvage for titanium. about time to build the prawn and cyclops too. you're in the home stretch now.

@28:21 -- guess it's a good thing you don't use much O2 in your sleep, eh? ;)

Stasis rifle: perhaps you should read the manual again. ;) (no, really)

You might want to go back through your previous playing videos and see where you got the different Cyclops parts and poke around more. Not definite but similar blueprints tend to get clumped together.

Heard the french accent back in episode 3. Had to sub. I was really curious from episode one to know where you were from just from the way you say your name lol. I'm french too, so it sounded familiar hahaha I love the series, so keep it up! Hâte de voir la suite ;)

Enjoying your playthrough. Do you have the prawn suit yet? I think I saw you scan it at the Aurora but I don't think I saw if you've built it yet. It's really fun, especially with the jump jet upgrade. And they made it even better in Below Zero.

If you want your seamoth to be efficient, stop using the sonar every 5 seconds. 😉

It's so funny that you can just go to sleep when you base doesn't have oxygen lmao

Alien contaiment has a limit how many fish it can have. If you want more you can stack them on top of each other.

10:05 so much can be said about a lot of things in your playthrough. So don't worry. Have fun.
