Diving

[Taydog911]

Do they plan on or are they working on dive equipment to work with the dive suit?

As far as I know nothing's been said. The water dynamics are going to be changed, but Red's working on some other things first. I think someone said a while back there are already fish objects created, but they aren't in the game yet. The water isn't ready for them yet and they don't have animations. So many fabulous things are planned for this game.

Some proper dive equipment is definitely planned ;) Unfortunately I have no ETA for that yet...

I'd like a scuba diving, a rustic version of the astronaut's clothing in Astroneer.

Diving? It's not necessary and too dangerous!

[Yeoman]

Diving would be pretty cool :) especially if we can get a harpoon gun, and an old fashioned diving suit.

[Moonstone Mom]

We could dive for pearls or abalone. Or maybe squids for their ink (Robbing Minecraft idea here) ;) Or maybe to capture marine fish for an aquarium. We could harvest kelp which is used in food items.

Waiting on a survival oriented feature that would allow for scuba diving/snorkeling in both ocean & lakes; Can't wait for actual oceans to be a thing. With how you struggle to dive with one breath of air it be neat to to be able to scuba so you can spend more time diving.

There's lots of lessons to be learned from Subnautica on how to deal with underwater elements that I hope Red51 actually takes notes when playing Subnautica. How kelp rises, how you have to refill tanks for oxygen, and such. Even having various forms of underwater crafts being neat. Shall be sweet to see what Red51 does here when loosely paired up with Subnautica's underwater tech and gear.

Minecraft is also having their fun with underwater stuff that it's making me lightly itch to explore in Rising World to claim underwater ruins in the ocean biomes.

Diving & active oceans? Sounds good. I'd even build a summer home by the ocean & hunt sharks when I'm tired of hunting bear! :-) Fish aquarium is a neat idea ...

[Jimbob]

Oh i so hope that there will be a deep ocean biome. that would be so beautiful if it could be the same as what's in my head right now. just all different coloured fish of all kinds, and strange plants (or fish pretending to be plants ha!) then we could explore underwater temples and sunken ships which have been lost deep down there since, lke, forever. oh...(sigh)...it'd be wonderful...

If we're going to have an active ocean, let's not forget some majestic whales & dolphins who would protect us !!

[swissmgrs]

it's too complicated to play a the diving. And, under water, what to do?

[swissmgrs]

The future is at the bottom of the oceans:
Algae, vegetables from the sea ( with Spirulina) ?
