Keep the Sea Emperor, (The biggest one, not the Leviathan) friendly

[BlueOcean17]

Devs, make sure that the Sea Emperor friendly. Don't get overpowered by people who want all the new creatures aggressive, as it will ruin the game. In order to balance the Reaper Leviathan, and the Leviathan, make the Sea Emperor friendly. The last thing this beautiful games needs is too much aggressive creatures. Making the Sea Emperor aggressive will set off a domino affect of even more people wanting offensive. Also, the Sea Emperor, (at it's current state), seems to be a cousin to the Leviathan, much like what's holding up the floating islands, and the above-water islands are bigger cousins to floaters. Not to mention making the Sea Emperor friendly would add a bit more realism, as a real life "bigger friendly cousin" example is the whale shark and the great white. Devs, you are doing an amazing job but please make sure you balance all aspects of the game and don't fall to bad ideas, (as all great communities have those people that want to mess things up, sad fully).

From what I know, he will be sort of friendly. Like the old wise man of sea and very intelligent. Doesn't mean he will not attack if the player tries to stupidly hurt or kill him. But, the creature won't be in the game for quite awhile.

Yeah, a big friendly giant - but make it realistic. Even people can get hurt by gental giants like whale sharks. I think a player should recieve damage if it's tail smacks into them or something. That would be realistic.

[Phaota]

The Emperor doesn't have a tail. He has tentacles like a squid.

Gr8WhiteShrkQueen, good idea
Phaota, what you first said sounds good too, and Phaota are the YouTuber "Phaota"?

[Cougarific]

No that's just a crazy coincidence.

Yes, I'm the only Phaota on the Internet. :)

Good luck with your channel man, I saw your video on the lava zone, even though I only watched 11 min of it because I thought I could terraform down, but now that I'm going back to the video it seems like a good review of that biome.

The fact that there's a Phaota on Youtube who plays a lot of Subnautica and a Phaota here on the Subnautica forums. (I was just trying to get Phaota to throw a Peeper at me - I'm hungry)

* throws a cooked Peeper at Cougarific.

Actually, you can terraform down. That's what I originally did before the many large access cave openings were put in. From the safe shallows spawn area, you can just dig straight down to 10,000m and you'll come out at the top of the large Lava Zone cavern. Otherwise, you can go down via the chasm in front of the Aurora or the large cavern in the Deep Grand Reef or the giant hole in the northwest at the northern tip of the Dunes biome.

10,000m is a bit deep though, I last saw it was 1,000-1,300m deep, and finding all those things, (especially "...the large cavern in the Deep Grand Reef or the giant hole in the northwest at the northern tip of the Dunes Biome." since the map I saw the biomes on is outdated and the map is so big.

[Phaota]

The map looks big, but once you have roamed it a bunch, like I have, you pretty much know the layout and it isn't a huge as you think.

I stay towards the spawn because to me it's a beautiful area to look at. Regarding the video I saw "Subnautica v15615 Lava Zone In-depth Exploration", at 11:27 you said, "Although I don't see how they would stay so hot though", and sorry if you found out later in the video or later on in time, but the planet the game is set on would probably have plate tectonics like the Earth does, and since it's so deep down the magma most likely is close enough to the rocks that it doesn't melt them, but it heats them, (hope that answered that sentence :)).

[Phaota]

No, no, you misunderstood me in that old video. What I was referring to is the continuously molten red rivers and pools. In underwater environments, the crust on those kinds of areas rapidly cools, forming black basalt caps. Then molten lava will rip through that and cool down again. It never stays like in the views of the Lava Zone.

Oh well then the Devs will probably work on that sooner or later. I never really thought about that, maybe the magma/lava pools is a visual metaphor. I read earlier about a trailer Easter egg on the forums with the word "Alterra", and that word being in NS2 and Subnautica. So it is possible that if they don't change that then maybe it is a visual metaphor for something unknown. That is a good bug/gameplay thing to bring up though.
