Thermal Plant Teleporter - sends you to glitched area

[Continuum]

There is a teleporter that you can activate in the Precursor Thermal Power Plant that sends you to a large cave behind the Precursor cannon facility... but the area there isn't complete and you can't do anything (except get stuck in walls/floors.) What is supposed to be happening there? Just a way to teleport back to the thermal plant? Why is this still unfinished?

Sounds like you need to update your game. The warp gate works fine, teleporting you to the gate room inside the cannon. Best thing to do is clear your cached save game files. Go to Steam\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SaveGames and then whatever Slot000x folder your current game is in. Delete all of the files in CellsCache and CompiledOctreesCache. Once back in the game, save the game and now all of the landscape will be updated.

There's a reason they want you to create new saves when a big update comes out.

Deleting those files did indeed solve the problem, thank you Phaota.

I started this save on the last major (April) update, and I could swear I'd tried deleting the cache files after running into it the first time. I was hoping the update would fix it, but thankfully the combo of update plus deleting the cache did the trick.

This just happened to me on the Jan 2018 release:[ If I delete the chache files does that reset all of the object states for doors I've opened etc?

We encountered this last night. We are at the very end of the game (I'll try to avoid spoilers). The entire enforcement platform (and parts of the island) are just gone. We approached by sea first, then tried to force it to render by going through the gate. When we warped into the gate, it broke the game even more, spawning us on dry land in a big, open cavity below the island. When we walked out (through the opening that was supposed to be the moon pool) the entire world was above water and the Aurora was just hovering there on dry land.

We've been dealing with a lot of crashes throughout gameplay, but nothing like this.

My main concern is losing our progress if we restore the corrupted files.

I forget if it will shut doors that needed portals (My luck with erasing the cell cache has been 'welp., it didn't work' mostly).

But stuff like your cyclops, bases, rocket platform. "permanent" fixtures of yours will remain. It eats beacons though if i recall. So the most progress you could potentially lose at worst is needing more keycards and replacing beacons. And reactivating portals in the endgame if those reset is easy because the endgame is your infinite Ion cubes source, and all but one of the portal activations are in the lava biome.

But yes. It's just downright embarrasing so many of these game derailing bugs are still happening for the launch product. This game deserved better than this, and it would have improved their sales so much if it got it's due.

VR polish alone would have pushed this into probably the top selling VR game for well over a year. Rather than still in the same state it was when telling people holding off on buying it till VR was fixed so many months ago "Oh, only 0.1% of our players use VR." Putting the cart in front of the horse, then blaming the horse.

I am dealing with this bug right now. I tried the solution here and it failed. Not only did it fail..it failed with flying colors...as my prawn fell through the terrain afterward. I could use console commands perhaps, but then I disable achievements ... something I should not have to do. I wish there were other options to employ.

Achievements are only disabled during the session. And even then only for certain console commands.

Just spawn yourself a new Prawn Suit whatever gear you had on it, save the game, and then close and reload it.

Once you load the game again, achievements will be back.
