Max Depth in 1.0?

[FI5HER]

Just curious on how deep we will be able to go by 1.0 release. I am hoping for 4-5000 but that may be too big of map.

I see a video of someone going 900 but no more than that. Remember, this may not be the deepest area or the deeper areas aren't in the game yet. Considering that potentially a large portion of the game will take place, ironically, about sea level zero, there may not be a need for it to be SUPER deep anyways ^^

Ive been down to max 900 before, but sadly for me what you said about it not needing to go as deep makes sense.

I was just thinking about that.

We have been to 1700m so many times now that it feels like a trip to the grocery store.

If they want to make this game a thrill, we need something that is completely new, so we have this fear of the unknown again.

Not necessarily deeper. Not just getting an upgrade that allows you to go down to 5000m because the max depth marker says so.

Maybe we have to deal with lower (or higher) temperatures, maybe with a depth that humans can't withstand even with the Alterra's suit, so we need to do everything from within a special vehicle.

Maybe a vehicle that could swim through lava? And venture through the mantle to collect some rare minerals.

Maybe a leviathan so big we have to swim inside his body to collect samples (have I gone too far?).

I don't know, but we definitely need something NEW.

I'd say they'd be aiming for 2000 since from what i've read there is meant to be a lava zone which you'd expect to be a distance lower then the rest.

Actually, I think the may be adding health affecting temperatures. I got an item called something like "body insulator fluid" or something (don't remember what it was called tbh).

I'm not sure it's clear yet how temperature will come into play. I would assume part of it would be something like oxygen, where if your temperature gets too low you black out and die. It's crucial they find ways to make it a meaningful mechanic though, and not just another needs gauge. It would be incredibly disappointing if it was just "stay warm or you'll die!"
(It'd be great if they can make high temperatures meaningful outside of just "take damage" as well.)

Much agreed!

Take this weith grain of salt but a streamer had a waypoint around a 2970 meters or so.

Probabaly a tp in command prompt if you can do that.

it looks like ~3k is the literal map. i somehow found a hole in a wall at the deep sea bottom and im currently 5.3k deep... that hole in the wall was a glitch though

[Lu Bu]

8k you glitch back to the surface lol
