    Explain Subnautica. I have played a couple hours but I don’t get it. I picked up some fish and some other stuff. I did some crafting but I don’t know where the cool stuff happens. Can you build outside your ship?

      The first 4 hours or so can be a bit rough because it doesn’t hold your hand much considering how big the game is and how much there is to do. I suggest focusing on surviving and following your radio messages for a new game, while crafting all your basic tools from the crafter as you follow the messages. Craft and use that scan tool. And by the time the radio messages run out, you’ll find some cool stuff 😁😁😁

      And yes, you can build anywhere! The world is your oyster 🦪

      Explore out as soon as you can. You will also start receiving messages that help you find things. It has a pretty interesting story, but it’s also a base builder.

      At the beginning, you’ll be mostly surviving, but later it’ll be a bit easier.
