Sea Train

[Angeline]

I just discovered that you could add multiple storage modules to the Sea Truck. Before long, I will probably end up looking like a Sea Train rather than a truck.

I like this modular concept, but the storage module needs to have much more storage. And why is there a non-functional storage bench in the fabricator module? That whole module is a huge waste of space. So much room for adding all sort of useful dodads. Hope they allow us to build inside. Actually, what I would really love is a standard Sea Truck module with nothing inside, for you to customize the way you want it.

A couple of questions. What do the little bars underneath the representation of your truck mean? Also, is the perimeter defence system implemented? I do not have the ability to trigger it.

The bars are the health of each individual module.

Also, if you *want* a real Sea Train but don't want it to be slow as mud, consider using PrimeSonic's "Unslow Sea Truck" mod on Nexus:

I saw it and considered it briefly. It's a bit OP, so I'll wait until I can't take it anymore.

The perimeter defense doesn't work yet.

I used the perimeter defense last night on some sharks in the thermal area. Worked fine for me.
I am on non-experimental.

To use hit the number of the slot it is in then left click. I put mine in the first slot for easier use (for me) 1 then left click. It is usually active when I get in being it the first slot but sometimes it is not. Every time you leave the truck reactivate it just to be sure. This is how it works for me.

Oops my bad. I'm gonna edit that post to avoid spreading fake news.

No biggie some do not know how to activate it so added that to help them. :)

Doesn't work for me, has never worked for me. I'm familiar with how it works in Subnautica so it's the first thing I tried. I made sure it was in slot 1, pressed 1 and nothing happens.

It was your video I saw the map in! Love watching your vid's . Prefer the prawn to the snow fox any day! At least I am warm and not nauseous. ;p

Do your other upgrades work? Not sure what to tell you about the defense since it has always worked for me. Left click twice and even Chen lets me go.

Guess F8 is your best option.

Oh, it makes you nauseous too? I thought it was only me. I don't think I'll be able to use it unless they tweak it to be more stable.

Every upgrade on the Sea Truck works fine. But I can't interact with the perimeter defence button at all. Pressing 1 (where it currently is) does nothing.

F8 to report?

Press 1 to select, then left-click to activate (vs. Afterburner, which is Press 1 to activate).

doh! I'm an idiot. In subnautica, the colour changed to indicate it was selected. Since nothing happened I stupidly assumed it wasn't working. Thanks, guys!

In both my runs, I used two storage units for the truck. One is for water, food and equipment like spy pengling, seaglide, medkit, and enough resources to build a scanner room, hatch, solar panel and locker (11 titanium, 3 quartz,3 copper and 1 gold). The second one is for collected stuff.

With two modules and the horsepower upgrade, your speed is just about 90% of the speed with one or no modules. It goes down after that and the horsepower upgrade does not stack.

The aquarium is not needed since they put the alien containment tank in the game. But there are a zillion fragment for it so it may be the first one you build.

I only use the fabricator to make the truck upgrades then park it.
Just for exploring I only use the sleeper so I can listen to tunes.
I can see later on I might need the Prawn with dock for specific missions.

Running with three or more trailers becomes tedious but might be worth it later in the game.

The Spy pengling works for you?

Yes, I used it on both islands. Cargo rocket island has a small cave you cannot fit into with 5 diamonds in it. I can collect them (only 4 at a time) and exit to unload.
Glacial basin has a cave with a PDA. Although the PDA did not seem to transfer so that might be broken.
I also used it to collect fur from the bear like things.
If you mingle with real penglings the socialization meter goes up but I do not know what that does.
