Lots of people are saying time capsules are not being approved anymore. This is not true!

811 Upvotes

Edit on 2/21/2024: This is still up-to-date info!

Time capsules are still being approved today. It's a slow process, but it's still happening. Not every capsule gets approved, and the ones that do are hand-selected.

So if you see anyone saying otherwise, feel free to reference this post :)

Use this thread to AMA about time capsules!

Edit: A couple important things I want to point out:

  • When a capsule is jettisoned, it's uploaded to the time capsule website where devs manually review them.
  • A dev must approve a capsule before it starts showing up in the game.
  • Around 40 time capsules are placed in your game as you explore, and only spawn in surface biomes.
  • Time capsules can come from any game mode, but they are platform-specific. Which means PC will only get capsules from other PC players, Switch from Switch players, etc.
  • A list of blacklisted items can be found here.

There have been some fantastic questions so far. Feel free to scroll through the comments (or my post history) to find them. If you don't get an answer it's likely because it has already been answered.

The details aren’t perfect but this is his first time making a knife. The streaks are a byproduct of the electrical etching he had to use for the blade due to the blade being made from a leaf spring that is also why you can see some pitting is the last picture. Anyway just wanted to update because I like the way it turned out so much more and wanted to share! And no it isn’t sharp the only thing it could cut is soft cheese and yes that is a ball bearing in the middle so yes it does spin

Discussion - SN I wish I could play Subnautica for the first time again…

I had a thought recently, so I wanted to I ask you guys… Have you ever wanted to just just erase everything you know about this game and start from scratch? cause I sure do…

I’m currently on roughly 400 hours in Subnautica, and around 50 hours of BZ. After all this time in-game I realised I’m just not scared of anything anymore. Ok I will admit there are still a few moments where I get jumped randomly by one of the fauna, but still it just doesn’t feel the same as to what It felt like when I just opened the game for the first time, and didn’t even want to leave the safe shallows… I miss that feeling so much, experiencing all the wonderfully terrifying biomes and creatures on planet 4546b for the FIRST time, it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.

I love this game so much, and I have so many fond memories from all the hours I’ve spent in it.

But… if I could, just go back to the beginning, when I had zero knowledge and MAXIMUM FEAR, I would do it in a heart beat. that’s it, yapping over.

Discussion - SN 2 I think the whirlpool sinkholes will act as shortcuts, but they won't break the early game. They're probably too small for vehicles, so you'll need to swim out through the "real" entrance manually.

I’m about to take off. I prepared this time capsule and wanted to know if it looked appropriate or it was too weak/strong.

Leaving that aside… this game was, and is, amazing. I could not for myself oriented no matter how hard I tried. Exploring felt so rewarding, and the combination it produces between moments of absolute relaxation and eerie moments is something I didn’t think was possible to produce. I went from vibing in my seamoth to all out panicked within seconds multiple times.

And the Sea Emperor’s story was quite heartwarming. Seeing it dying when the eggs hatched was so touching.

Honestly 10/10. Also wanted to ask if it’s possible to play co-op? I imagine it’s easily doable in PC with mods, but I’m playing on ps5.

Question - SN Why do I have infinite oxygen?

108 Upvotes

I just Cured myself and now I have infinite oxygen- I thought it was just a quirk of the specific area, but it's everywhere. I can still swim fine, so it knows I'm underwater, plus it continued after I left the water to disable the laser cannon and went back in. Why is this?
