Ugly, but somehow beautiful, green, oozing 'rivers' all around me, along with a new creature, the river prowler. I get out of my ride once in awhile to scan new flora and fauna (ew, blood crawlers), but keep pushing forwards and downwards. At the bottom, I find a huge bloodroot, and of course paths to deeper, darker, and greener depths. Past my Prawn Suit, over the edge, and straight down into the dark green ruby-speckled tunnel. After all, reapers mostly only hang out above 200m from what I can tell, how much worse can it be? 😉

He lurches sideways and warps out, and I luckily don't see him again.Īt that point I ditch the suit and seaglide back to base, where I finally muster up the necessary ingredients to upgrade Ol' Mothy's depth module from MK1 to MK3, bringing its crush depth to 900m(!), and figured I may as well take it down there instead. I think I remember them having the ability to pull me out of machines, so before that can happen I jump up to meet him and give him the ol' one-two with my prawn arms. I look up and one is descending on me like some kind of weird purple grim reaper. I'm peering over it with my suit, thinking there's no way my jump jets could get me back up if I fell, when I heard a warper sound. There's a crabsquid that hangs out in that area but he was just far enough away from the trench to not cause any trouble.

First, I hopped into my Prawn Suit and stomped off as far as I could. Going just north of my base leads me down a gentle slope to a small mushroom forest, and if I continue, I find some blood kelp, and finally a steep drop off that I have thus far unable – whether by courage or equipment – to explore. Last night I finally decided to take the plunge and venture a little deeper (despite my flair). My maximum depth by machine is currently 900m.

I have a medium sized base in the grassy plateau, a Seamoth (Ol' Mothy), Cyclops (Big Clops), and now a Prawn Suit (Prawn Suit… I can't figure out how to rename it). I've actually been taking quite a long break from the game (mostly due to performance issues and a crash that made me lose an hour or two of important progress), and just recently went back to it. I play in VR, went in blind some time ago but have by my own fault been spoiled to most of the game's story by reading the wiki.
