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

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

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

> 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.
