Did they change knifes hit range?

[Maltsi]

Its almost impossible to hit anything now, you have to stand right on top of those crabs to even hit them and you can't even reach marble melons anymore to get seeds (and standing on top of them puts you too high to reach them).

I typically don't use the marblemelons in my runs, but I tried them with the new update in my latest hardcore try & I was having trouble with it too. Not sure if it's because of the update though because it's been reported awhile back for some players.

I'm still trying to get use to the hit detection though for many things: gathering materials, catching fauna, swiping at those crabs. I struggle to strike a stalker as it's chasing me and we're spinning around 360 until one of us gets hit. Seems like I have to aim higher in order for it to register as a hit; like the in-game reticle isn't centered vertically in the game engine.

Yes I too have noticed its kind of hard to hit anything... especial what was already hard to hit... melons in a planter. It may have been a while with the knife for me though...

Often I had to jump and hit it on the way down for the hitbox to register. Devs changed lot of objects' box sizes, mostly breaking it in-game, when it worked just fine previously.

I've been having noticeable trouble hitting marblemelons and biters too. It didn't occur to me that there was a change, but that makes sense.

Something is definitely wrong. I specifically googled knife + crab because I can't hit the crabs anymore no matter what I do. I am standing on them, smashing my face into them and swinging my knife like a serial killer and I cannot even touch them. Very annoying.

Yes, seems to have been introduced in the 2.0 update. Not sure if this has been classified as a bug or not.

Aim better. I think they just made the hit boxes a little closer to the visible size. Knife works fine.

seems like there does seem to be issues since im not the only one having trouble with knifes. how/where can i report this correctly so it could be fixed? i have already stopped playing this because of this issue

as said before, knife cannot even reach marble melons in planters anymore (except some times you can hit them from very weird angle) and crabs are close to impossible to hit now, this was not issue before 2.0 update. Has nothing to with aim if your knife cannot reach the target even if your character literally touches them.

I live almost solely on marble melons when in my base and have zero issues hitting them in planters. Crabs are no problems, and when I'm out I still have no issues hitting fish with my thermoblade for a quick snack either. Aim better.

i have a planter in one of my bases and there are only four of the marblemelons i'm actually able to reliably hit with a knife, no matter what angle i come from, and the ones in the middle i can't hit at all. "aim better" only applies when there's something the player can actually do. if i spend five minutes checking all of the possible angles and don't get a single hit, there is something wrong that isn't just a skill issue.

this used to be trivial before 2.0, and it's rather not now.

I also noticed the knife range feels weird after the latest update. It was always wonky but not this bad.

I'm also having issues killing fish and crabs. There's a mod for 2.0 that allows you to change damage and hit distance for both knife versions: https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1132 - increasing the distance a bit may help bring things back to normal.

if you use that mod... don't forget to adjust the damage.. it defaults to 1 you gana be slapping the things for a long time before you kill anything.

It did change you are right. I made a comparison video when I noticed it in 70678.
I don't know the reason but I don't think this was intentional. Maybe a side effect of a fix / backport.

As said, it remains possible to cut the marblemelon. It just is a bit more difficult than it used to be. You can jump and cut.
