More dangerous at night?

Is it more dangerous to swin in the water when its night?

[Grumpy Old Guy]

I know stalkers are more aggresive at night, possibly bone sharks too. I think they range farther at night and tend to chase you further when they spot you. Not positive but I think that's how it works.

Yeah, they're like a girlfriend you woke up by accident.

While certain Fauna are definately more aggressive, it also puts you at another disadvantage:

Some creatures are attracted by light. Hence, while moving at night and using light from Flashlight / Sea Glider / Sea moth, etc, you become far more 'visible' yourself and are open to attack.

The other side of that is certain very large, very aggressive jerks gain another advantage. These sea moth eating SOB's don't track by light, but by echo location and can hone in on your position from a greater distance than your sight range at night. So while you hear that Leviathan Roar, you might not be able to spot where or if it's coming for you until it's too late.

Don't let them put you off, the bioluminesant show is great. Definitely swim at night.

Also below 500 meters or so it doesn't matter, the light is all locally generated.

OH absolutely. Best screenshots come at night! ^.^b It's more of a 'swim at your own risk, know what awaits you' sort of thing. My warning specifically was for the reaper leviathans and the ability to see them.


.... now, if only we could replicate that Bioluminescant feel inside our bases. ( I WANT A BASE MODULATION / LIGHTING PANEL DAMNIT. Down with Flourescant lights! Rise to the Aquariums and Biolumi Fishies / coral!)

Yes, absolutely, yes this needs to be a thing.

As for early game at night, many small fish *sleep* and are easy to catch.
Only noticed this with Stalkers.

Creepvine lanterns are the way to go :>
