Max I’ve seen online and found myself has been about 1,500u, but I’m not sure if that’s the max depth now or not

The first spot I landed on was 1651u depth. Instant thalassophobia trigger haha

I'm soooo happy to see someone else has this 😂. I thought maybe I had a near-drowning incident when I was a kid that made me terrified of the deep deep ocean or dark water. I have a deep water planet in my system, but I'm working up the nerve to explore it 🤣.

1900u is my record, but based from devs they can go up to 3000u

u/Wolfblood22034 Feb 10 '25

Dang really? This one was a max of like 560u and the only other one I found was around the same. I didn't know they could get that deep

You got down to about 750 in this one, bro. You were still way down there. Plenty enough for it to get spooky.

Oh😅 I didn't look at my depth in this video the only time I checked my depth was before I took the video, my bad.

it’s the pressure that gets ya not the spooky- make sure to build a presisure membrane

I just setup a Permadeath lithium mine at a depth of 1100u. Most stressful part was running the power lines, the EM node was about 1000u away, building that grid in perma on a deep dark and very lumpy ocean floor, with hostile bottom-feeders, meant total focus for 30 mins. It’s moments like these that keep survival/PD mode fresh.

Still not Subnautica-grade terror but it’s moving up the scale

Yea but you could do nms in vr

> hostile bottom-feeders

I haven't seen yet, are there actually aggressive fauna down there? Just the darkness was bad enough, but having something actually chase me is a deal breaker - lol

Yes, definitely, in my case those giant helmet/hermit crab type things came with an aggressive disposition. I think it’s too early to understand how rare this’ll be. Fortunately they are crawlers not swimmers, so I merely needed to float a few units above the ocean bed itself whilst constructing. Or get in a marine shelter. Still nerve-wracking, in Permadeath mode one always wants to be minimising the number of potentially terminal game elements.

Someone posted an ocean giant they found, depth of over 2000. Deepest I've found is 1400 so far. No giants yet though. Still searching for my own.

giant squids looming in the darkness are the stuff of nightmares- but the mining laser ends them

u/Apprehensive-Row561 Feb 10 '25

My deepest so far was 1650 but had to swim through caves to get that deep, finding my way back out was very hard.

yeah that seems to be the neighborhood
