Let it go outside your base and put up floodlights. Should be fun watching power going off and back on constantly. Does that mean we could set up a strobe light?


Cobalt9896

I would do it just for the sounds they make


Hobbamoc

The issue is: Every EMP sets your base energy to zero. So your bioreactor and so on will pretty much always run on max draw


HurterOfFeefeesV2

It'll be friendly to you if you free it (Atleast I think I had a crash fish egg that was friendly after it hatched)


HarbingerOfRot777

I have read that Crabsquids are actually one of the two species that are hostile if you release them. I think the second ones are Bonesharks, but im not sure on that.


RepetitiveTorpedoUse

In the aquarium, yes


HurterOfFeefeesV2

Nope before I left the planet I set them all free and none attacked me


Luc_Studios

Well, it's not like the crabsquid will be able to file a complaint with PETA, but I'd recommend keeping it in its natural habitat. The bioreactor might not be the best place for a sea creature to call home.


RiktaD

Don't worry, the biorector is just a temporary home before it will be relocated to it's final ~~(e)~~state

RepetitiveTorpedoUse

I can hear this comment both in the PDA voice and the radio voice


Pugnacious_Porcine

Would it fit in the capsule you can drop at the end? If so, save it for that.


Deadpool_starwars

No should I put it in the bioreactor


Deadpool_starwars

And I got a second one for the capsule


Tahar6915

Won't fit in the capsule. Only fits stuff the size of the seaglide


Sea-Wonder8982

Nah it should fit once those lantern fruits run out. The bioreactor fits stuff that is up to the equivalent of 2 seaglides but then again it is subnautica so it can disappoint you sometimes.


Tahar6915

Sorry, meant it won't fit in the time capsule


Maple_Flag15

NOOOOOO!!!!!


angelofcaprona

They’re talking about whether it would fit in the time capsule to be sent back for other players to find in-world. But you can only fit a seaglide sized amount of items in a capsule. (6 slots in a 2x3 grid). But yeah. Crabsquid’s are good bioreactor fuel. Not the ideal fuel, but decent.


Skeletal_Spaghettore

Someone gave me a stasis rifle with an ion battery in a time capsule. What a legend.


Birb-Squire

I managed to get a heat knife before I ever even had a seamoth bc of a time capsule, absolutely amazing


angelofcaprona

Same on the stasis rifle. I’d never bothered to fuck around with it/ build it even with multiple playthroughs until someone gave me one—I just kept maneuvering/ sneaking and hiding my way through rough situations. But tbh, stasis rifle is useful.


Skeletal_Spaghettore

It's my favourite way of dealing with warpers. They teleport away after being struck with a knife, but it can be kind of hard to hit them without them retaliating.


angelofcaprona

Yeah, there isn’t much else that works well on warpers. And they’re conveniently large and have a slow drifting movement pattern (aside from the teleportation) which helps when you’re aiming with the stasis rifle. Realizing you could use it on leviathans also felt like a real game changer to me tbh.


Sea-Wonder8982

Well no it wouldn't, not really sure why you would even want to put it in a time capsule it would just suffucate without water.


angelofcaprona

You can store all of the eggs and fauna life forms in lockers and they will remain alive. Like Pokémon! No water needed.


angelofcaprona

(Not actually like Pokémon and tbh this game mechanic has always bothered me).


ProcyonHabilis

I just wanted to offer you this gift of a dead crabsquid.


Sea-Wonder8982

Thank you


SpaceBug178

His fatass won't even fit


Vlad-V2-Vladimir

Not yet it won’t, but on god he is going inside the energy blender


solzerid

Will it blend?


[deleted]

I have a pet crabsquid. They're awesome. If you need fuel for a bio reactor, catch and breed Oculus. They have the highest power output.


BeardedBassist21

Shoutout to the Canadian 13 yr old who somehow found my Twitch streams and taught me this lol


geluidskunstenaar

I got lucky finding this out myself, building my base in the mushroom cave. My crabsquid was infected though, so he did end up in the bioreactor


Arubesh2048

If you catch an enzyme peeper (which can be easily found near the aliens vents, they are the peepers that have a trail of orange glitter behind them), you can place an enzyme peeper in the same tank as infected fish and it’ll clear their infection. This works even if you haven’t cured yourself yet.


orchidslife

So they can get infected and then turn aggressive or why would that matter?


geluidskunstenaar

Dunno, the story suggests that infected fish have different behavior. So maybe, but i threw it in the bioreactor because i did not want its infection to spread to other fish


Flying_Reinbeers

IIRC infection will rapidly spread inside an alien containment fish tank.


Pheonix726

But if you catch the Peepers with the glowy trails they'll spread the Enzyme through the tank and cure any infected creatures inside, which is a neat solution.


Hobbamoc

Did they stop nuking your base on the regular? Because that's what my pet did to me a good while back


[deleted]

As far as I know, mine have never tried to EMP my base.


Hobbamoc

I very vaguely remember something about it being fixed / hatched creatures being friendlier in general, but I wasn't sure


Azzie1971

wrong. Reggies. get the Reggies.


[deleted]

No, sir, you are wrong. Reggies are the best fish to eat in terms of food points, not power generation.


Kyte_115

Well it’s either the bioreactor or you place it outside and it tries to eat you immediately (crabsquids ignore the temporary passiveness of hatched fauna)


geluidskunstenaar

Are you implying this is temporary for other hatchlings raised in confinement? Mine was infected, so maybe it behaved different, but I was never attacked by any home-grown animal.


Kyte_115

Yes. After a long period of time all predatory hatchlings will eventually become hostile when taken out of containment. (Like 7/8 in-game days outside containment) The infection has nothing to do with it and I’m not sure if it’s intentional or a bug


Jackviator

I can confirm that crabsnakes also do this (or at least mine did). Not two seconds after I released it, it bit my cuddlefish, then me a few seconds later. Reloaded a save and chucked the bastard into the bioreactor with precisely zero regrets. Anyhow, might have just been a bug, might be the devs making anything with “crab” in the name be crabby immediately (insert sitcom laugh track here). I’unno.


geluidskunstenaar

It’s funny. I tried the same with the crashfish, it just up and left just to explode somewhere away from me. Did not feel very hostile, more depressing xD


Nkorayyy

You went back in time to kill it as a baby?


Jackviator

Well first I had to steal a dive suit, gun and underwater motorcycle from a passing survivor…


RedditNoobForSure

So that’s why my guard crabsnake turned on me! :(


YummyTerror8259

Bioreactor or leave it in containment. I'd personally just leave it.


Spare_Confidence1727

If you don't then you're a sucker


StoneRings

I'm glad that the deep sea predators don't immediately and lethally depressurize when you release them near the surface.


Awesomest_Possumest

My God that would be hilarious though. Pointless, but hilarious.


Ippus_21

Pfft, yes. Those things are so worthless they don't even make very good biofuel. You'll have to wait a minute, though, because it's a 3x3, and you don't have room in there rn.


dancing_monkey096

Yes you should. They're so fking annoying😡


Ok-concentrate4569

I had enough of their shit


Exit_Save

Do it Grind the squid


Reasonable_Cycle4144

kill zem all


something7765

Hmmm, are u sure?


Numbcrep

I those fuckers are terrifying


AdamTheDude11

Wait what!? You can get a crab squid item?!


Deadpool_starwars

There’s a egg you can find it’s almost see through with some blue I found this one by the 500 base


QuesoSabroso

If you hatch the eggs in an alien containment tank you can get most of the fauna as items


expiredlungs

I remember during early access I hatched a reefback and then I picked it up to read the description and when I put it back in the tank it was normal size and my game crashed because there was a ginormous reefback in my base Edit: curse you autocorrect!


Azzie1971

whats a feedback? I thought it was to report something to the devs. Do you mean to say there is actually something in the game that hatches called a feedback?


[deleted]

[удалено]


expiredlungs

Omg I didnt even notice 😭


Blighted1

The question shouldn’t be why. The question should be why not? After all the bioreactor must feed.


Sea-Wonder8982

Do it, think about all the times they have drained the power in your vehicles, once you release him into the wild he will turn on you.


andomguy_1234567

make it suffer


TheRealBatman311

Yes! All the way


DarkPrinceMole

You should


dragonworior096

Do it


nlamber5

No. 3x3 critters are huge pain. Stick to 2x2


WFactor6forU

How do you get one? They are cute :)


ForgetfulEthan

You can find eggs to put in the alien containment unit in your base on the floor of the deep grand reef


Upstairs-Video2840

If you're cold, they're cold. Put them in the bioreactor


[deleted]

I hear rumours that if you grow this as a baby in your alien containment and let it outside you base it actually protects you from other fishes in the sea


angelofcaprona

Lol


nicohero12

Yes, absolutely


[deleted]

YES. The Bioreactor loves Spider Rolls.


[deleted]

Why not?


Right_Feeling_2025

Of course


Routine-Broccoli-911

NOOO he cute


Sir-Realz

Whata good sorce of bio fuel! 4 squares!


[deleted]

First, you can't fit it in there, second BURN THIS BITCH BURN THIS PIECIE OF SHIT BURN THIS SEAMOTH DESTROYER


ArmourFarmer

You can’t there’s not enough space


BurritosAndTortinos

no.


Opposite-Weird4232

Yes


tntaro

Should you not?


Warhammer2_3

Yes. Immediately


cltmstr2005

Obviously yes.


Fenris963

mortimusalexander

Yes, fuck that bitch.


TroutFisher502

How? Did you grab one???


owinates_42

Destroy the bastard


DarkPhoenix_077

DEW IT Make him pay for all his species' crimes against alterra vehicles


Cheese_Stix99

(palpatine voice) Do it. Kill him.


-SenorDipshit-

Would be cool if you did that it killed your power instead of gaining some


FitRecommendation690

That gonna power the whole thing, DO IT


scremlin

bioreact his ass


leserolith3

The salami lid ain’t gon fit like that


Worldly-Sun-3418

How do you even get a crabsquid


phil736

Find egg -> raise in alien containment -> take out alien containment.


The_dark_entity

No


FriendlyFish12

How do you get that


[deleted]

How did you get that in your inventory?


Deadpool_starwars

I got the egg


CableMurc02

After two took my Tina (Seamoth) from me I have waged war against the crabsquid tribe


Short_Comparison_132

DO IT


TheZVoltareanlord

Instead, use the crashfish eggs


patyryczkowy

Yes, i did it with reefback and it gives so much energy


Maple_Flag15

Yes
