Any plans for an abyssal biome?

[McDubb]

It would be awesome to explore a very deep/dark area and have bioluminescent wild life swimming around. I think there is a great opportunity here. You go to collect a little glowing fish, only it turns out to be a giant angler-fish type creature! Thoughts?

If the devs implement that I'm sure a lot of people would hope that at the abandoned base there's new technology, possibly even the one that brought down the Aurora. :O That would be interesting, with the base in ruins too, and the lost race of creatures nowhere to be found, but they left a trail. That would bring a whole new aspect to the game.

Yeah, but what would be worth going down there? I mean, apparently everyone here is against weapons, at least the loudest people.

Super-Ultra-Mega Fins of Quickening +2?

Because i kind of fail to see what else there could be.

Maybe something outside the box like blueprints for helper bots and such? Imagine having an android to maintain your base while you are away--as there is farming comming soon and there is the ever present problem of entropy-- or bot for surching for menial items like quartz and titanium!

Maybe even some kind of portal tech. If you use your imagination you'll find that there could be some many more cool things added that arn't weapons but geared toward carving out your subaquatic kingdom.

A biome of this kind could be the perfect place for the Warpers.

A maintanance bot would mean that your stuff would actually require Maintanance. Portal tech would make scavenging too easy. And from the game's current AI i would trust that search-bot to drag back 4 stalkers, 2 bonesharks, 1 leviathan and the floating island back before it gets me some Quartz.

I feel that in a game like this, something similar to the mariana trench would be invaluable and would add alot to the game mechanics. maybe it should require new submarine and structures to resist the incredible water pressure.
thumb up!

Actually, we are sort of getting one with the eventual inclusion of the "Lost River" biome, which will be quite deep.

Have you ever been to the Blood Kelp Zone? It might satisfy your desire to explore a completely dark zone with bioluminescant (plant) life. Still no Anglerfish there, though...

[Phaota]

Yes, the Blood Kelp biome is looking very good so far. Still have more tweaking to be done though, like adding in the new creatures, making the tall kelp wave like the small ones, etc.

If you're looking for deep and dark, head through the caves in the deep grand reef to the inactive lava zones :P I forget the depths, but something like 1200m. As of now though, there hasn't been much added down there, so the grand reef may drive you a bit less insane from lonliness :P
