Endless abyssal pit? End of the map? Home of Giant sea creature? 2500 meters deep and still going 0_o?????

[Icarus_Complex]

Dear Steam members, players, and Subnautica devs, I had found a signal in a crate, for a (large Biomass) i followed it and found a giant mushroom tree, i decided to explore the surrounding area, i started to hear what was a Reaper Laviathan and followed it, i found myself slolwy going deeper and deeper, i thought oh this is odd, i was about 400 meters deep when the reaper sound cut out and i was met with a sheer drop into black abyss so what did i do? I went down! me and my trusty seamoth started to decend, i just kept going deeper, and deeper , and deeper, (it was reminding me of the movie abyss) I finally came to a stop when i reached 2500+ meters deep when the drop off dysapearing into gues what? Nothing, just open black ocean, the ocean floor had dissapeared entirly and the world seemed to of cut off into ocean, i was below the sea floor, this WASN'T a glitch in my game i know it for sure because of how the hole had been generated. PLEEEEAAASE let me know if anyone else has found this, i have a recording on my I device but i'm not sure how to upload to steam as proof.

Yes, the map is surrounded by infinity trenches. You can go as far down as you like, but the actual bottom of the world is 3040m. Beyond that is just void zone. BTW, you could have just searched this subject on the forum and found dozens upon dozens of the same topic.

[how i be]

I'm just scared now O.o. I have found that MANY other people experienced the same thing as you, by the way.

[[BITEY] Bitch]

I came across a trench and decided to go down it. It was around Leviathan territory, just dropped down there with my PRAWN and kept going and going. Hit about 10,000 m before the PRAWN broke. Endless trench perhaps? It was super freaky.

They say there will be a few Leviathan-class lifeforms swimming around down there. I think they should put a super huge creature there that can swallow a Sea Dragon whole. Something horribly ugly and as distantly-related to any other animal you have yet encountered as can be.

EDIT: Fixed a grammatical error.

We need a cthulhu down there xD

Hahaha well nearly two years later the game is still developing, and I havent gotten to play recently, theres a chance my hole may still be there with prehaps something planned to be in there. I actually was almost expecting a moster like from star wars and the worm creature on the asteroid to get me xD

Jesus tits, why are people resurrecting long dead threads?

So they can brag about how much they think they should put one hit kill monsters in a useless area. Which is the equivilent of hoping they add spikes outside the borders of a mario 64 level.

Really, the fact the void is filled with the biggest monsters is more to try and distract from the fact the void is a reminder of how small the game world is.

Because honestly, the fact there is absolutly nothing out there by itself is enough of a deterrent by itself.

In fact, being killed by a monster out there is CONVENIENT in two out of three game modes. Because that means you don't have to make the long drive back. So something that could "Swallow a sea dragon whole" would ironically make things more casual.

That, and making a brand new super monster just for the void "Biome" is effort and bugs to prevent that the Dev team just won't want to bother with.

Considering they still can't prevent gaspods and sharks of assorted varieties break their leashing and spawncamp the lifepod (a known bug and not working as intended, as admitted by the devs)? I can only imagine how well it would turn out if they added some larger than life super monster. And a bug like that would attract far more bad PR.

i was in my cyclops, i was randomly exploring areas and i found this deep drop i thought lead to the inactive lava zone wasn't infact a lava zone but the edge of the map underwater, after travelling some distance i found this large square opening, i travelled down it and came out the otherside of another square opening and then i decided to come back up, but what i saw was walls that changed textures, from the usual rocky surface to what appeared to be freshly created rock from a hardened and cooled magma process.

You are the latest to fine a placeholder, basically. Those areas are slated to have proper alien bases and the like added later.

Yep as i am new to the game so i went in creative to explore and get the hang of it until i was in a green lake place, so tunnels follow most of them and get report'd about a crator start going down into below me from other opening's into something looking like a black abyss i reach 1300 head up but i swear this is a endless pit,

The last post in this thread is from over a year ago. A couple things have changed since then, notably the fact that going into the Dead Zone at the edge of the map brings with it a pretty noticeable warning (not entirely sure if it still does this in creative mode, thought I think it still does. They just don't attack you).

I can't quite figure out where you said you were located when you found the pit though... Mind elaborating a little?

[Icarus_Complex]

After 3 years Im pretty sure what it was was an unfinished entrance into one of the lower bioms that was never finished and when I went through it I ended up going under the world im fairly sure. I havent tried going back sicne but im pretty sure if I did id find something. This build when it was found was before most of the sea monsters, as in the Leviathan Reaper was the only real big thing. If you found another thats pretty exciting, since it may mean they intend to add more to the terrain, or maybe you found a spot they missed and didnt cap.

Huh, so that's why i can't go back up all the way out of the hole.

Yes you can go back.
