Purpose of Deep Twisty Bridge?

[dukmallard]

The deepest portion of the deep twisty bridges, is it a deliberate dead end?

You really can't build, slim to none resources, and "no vehicles" allowed.

[con5cience]

Highest concentration of diamonds in the game. Also lots of lithium and magnetite (at one point, level design may have changed).

[miklkit]

No more magnetite down there. It is the first real challenge and there are still valuable things down there.

[dukmallard]

All that design work for one maybe two trips??

I actually like the area, it was the first place I discovered where to get lithium from and early game it is very very scary to go down there to get the lithium to make your first vehicle and depth mods.
On top of that it synergizes with the other areas of the game that have lithium above ground. It makes those areas feel allot more important, even though they are further away and contain some extremely hostile fauna.
I will totally agree though that it is way too small for what it is. Needs a serious expansion.
I would like to see it turned into a squid shark nest (That would explain why there are squid sharks down there.) And if it was a squid shark nest the devs could add a large tunnel system to it that would lead you out to whatever "Above ground" area the squid sharks spawn in.
That would make it feel like a cohesive part of subnautica's ecosystem.

it's the place to get 2 seatruck modules if they haven't changed it, other than that there is no reason to go there (you can get resource there from other placed more easily)

[terrant]

Seatruck Fab and Storage module still show up there. Also diamonds and lithium, and also, the earliest and easiest source of gel sacks. Which make great bioreactor fodder since they grow fast and have a decent yield

I think the DEEP TWISTY BRIDGE needs expansion . it has so many possilble future plan instead of being small caves

[Arondil]

I have just been to the deep twisty bridges in a seatruck. Why do you say "no vehicles"?

[SuperDave]

Don't forget, there is an alien artifact with extra cube down there also.

[dukmallard]

It's a mandated "dead end."

In order to squeeze the truck into that area you need the depth module, and what is the purpose of bringing it into a small dead end? There really is no purpose for the devs to have it or make you use it. The resources and tech don't justify this deep, cramped dead end.

It lacks rhyme and reason. As another poster has stated, it needs expansion! There are many aspects of BZ that remain "cobbled" into the game play.

As the game stands after this last update, (Aug. 2020) it has all the necessary ingredients to be great. However, it seems that different parts are held together with bailing wire and a prayer that no one will notice.

the deep twisty bridges was the perfect place to have a much deeper biome develop/unlock late game (since this is a much smaller fishbowl). This is where we could have returned for some event that unlocked a path to the deepest point of BZ. would have been cool to go much deeper and see a big baddy that rivaled the sea dragon somewhere in an abyss.

^This - that area NEEDS to have a reason to visit more than once. If it's gonna just be for Seatruck fragments and one relic site, that's a huge waste of potential. IMHO it's one of - if not THE best biome in the game.

If people don't go there now, why would they return there after whatever new plot element you would put there? They would go there three times (two for resources, one for the plot) instead of two times, and only because they have to.

The deep twisty bridges have their own fascinating lure for me, and I like to go there to appreciate it. I spent almost an hour yesterday just driving my sea truck around it. And if you ignore the squidshark it's a surprisingly peaceful environment.

100% agree; deep twisty bridges is both creepy and pretty - the two things that subnautica does best to my mind. The biome needs more love.
