17? distracting asks !!!

Ryley Mf Robinson genuinely makes me ill

Theres like jack shit we know definitively abt him, but the little bits of personality from his equip animations and the logs of the crew from the Aurora are fucking sick as hell

I genuinely can't remember if he's part of the repair crew, or engineering, etc cuz I havent played in a bit, but the fact he fucking zaps himself with the repair tool is insane. Like u don't just do that shit unless u already know how to handle one

Also I think him being an engineer/repair staff matches up with my playstyle of fucking around, finding out, and having to repair my goddamn ship and base every tuesday

The fact that he goes to an alian world and SURVIVES when everyone else had succumbed to the sickness is fucking cool as hell. And that he was only able to by listening to the logs and messages from the people before is also like. GODDAMN that's sad as shit. That the only people who have been in ur situation are fucking DEAD is horrifying

Also I've got a lot of hcs for this guy based on the fact that I think he's an engineer. Idk im thinking that he originally had big dreams in engineering different sick as hell ships, before he was put on as repair staff

Also nonverbal autistic ryley let's fucking go

dwarf, talking about his wife: yeah she's great she's a miner isnt that awesome modern day human: What

"What the fuck does a hoe need silk touch for- oh"

Hello Bytewire, I love your analysis!, and may I ask about architects planet, all what I seen/know about it is picture in ending of SBZ, and interesting, what do you think/know about their planet? ^^

Thank you! Every bit of appreciation I get motivates me to continue posting. I enjoy knowing that people find my posts useful/interesting.

Analyzing the Architect Home World.

Not much is known about the state of the Architect's home world regarding Architect settlements and life on the planet. While the buildings we see are intact, it is not definitive towards the state of the collective. If it still exists. So, instead of this being speculation about whether Architects still operate on their home world, I will go over all the information that I can gather about their planet from what we have seen. I will also use freecam to take a closer look at details you wouldn't normally be able to view.

Let's begin with what we see in the final cutscene.

As AL-AN navigates out of the Phase Gate and through the atmosphere the ship is steered through heavy storm clouds, narrowly being guided through edifices of buildings that form what appears to be a cityscape. The ship breaks through the storm and is met with a harsh sun glare before getting a fuller view of this grand Architect city sitting on an area of high elevation. There are structures much bigger than we see in 4546B, though it's hard to discern their purposes. Despite AL-AN not having been here for a millennium—there is a surprising lack of ruin. Floating buildings supported by cables haven't fallen, multiple Phase Gates are still in operation, and there is no overgrowth of any plant life. I wouldn't necessarily call it 'maintained' but it certainly isn't in a state of desecration.

Now, let's take a look at what can be seen on their home world in freecam.

It's hard to discern the surface due to all the clouds, but if you set the game speed to zero and toggle freecam we are able to see the full skybox. This reveals a lot more information than the brief image you see in the cutscene. As you can see, there are many clouds still, but towards the bottom left they part a bit, and you can see glimpses of the terrain. It is high elevation and rocky. Fitting with the description of Architect bodies being made for navigating rough terrain. Their legs described as being reminiscent of mountain goats. It makes sense that the terrain of their home planet is rocky and mountainous.

Architect buildings seem to focus on vertical structure first and foremost. Whether it be the skyscrapers, grand entrances, or floating platforms suspended by their levitation technology and supported with cables. On many of these buildings there appears to be areas where ships may be docked. Given the ability for AL-AN to integrate himself with the ship, their vessels having the 'blink' teleportation ability, and the use of phase gates, their vertical design seems to account for ability to quickly and efficiently travel between them.

There are also a few buildings you can view that you otherwise wouldn't be able to, though these structures do not differ much from the larger ones that are seen.

The high elevation, the storms we see as we first enter the home world, and the abundance of clouds may indicate a harsh environment. It's most probable that (in the location we see) it is somewhat commonplace for their home world. Architect vessels are adapted for extremes after all.

The unusual weather most likely originates from global temperatures warming due to Architect activity rather than from their star, as the planet's distance from its star seems to be similar to Earth's. This is probably what causes the large amount of clouds. This would make things pretty humid and prone to fast weather cycles.

Their buildings having no windows may be more for practicality in that sense. It'd be a lot less structurally sound in case of extreme weather events if they were to have windows.

Around this concave structure, typically hidden by another building, and here peeking through the clouds, you can see what potentially could be plant life. It appears short, like shrubs and/or small grasses. They appear to be a warmer hue. Reds and oranges rather than green like on 4546B or Earth. If these are plants, that would suggest their star produces more green and blue light that the plants absorb. Adapting to reflect the warmer hues.

The sky that we are able to see is a colder shade of blue that fades to a more purplish color as you look up. This could be due to a higher argon content in their atmosphere, or it could be due to the way the light reflects through the numerous clouds and various gasses present. As for the atmosphere itself, it's probably safe to assume that it would be breathable for humans, but with a lesser oxygen content, partly due to the elevation, partly due to the general makeup. (I wouldn't imagine AL-AN taking Robin along if he knew she would asphyxiate lol)

Next are some small, unclear details, but ones I felt worth mentioning.

There is what might be either a distant star, another planet, or a small celestial body that orbits the Architect home world. It is uncertain, but it is distinct within the top right corner of the skybox.

Looking down towards the middle there appears to be a potential body of water. Whether it is a lake or an ocean is unclear as the clouds don't part enough to see it in full.

There are more mountains behind the second phase gate in the horizon that don't appear to have any structures near them.

This concludes the main things that I noticed. Anything else would be too grand of a speculation, and I do my best to keep my posts within canon territory.

I hope that this was helpful information about their home planet! I can also cover more Architect-specific parts in another post if wanted, but I tried to focus on the planet itself while also discussing the Architect—well—architecture. Just like the rest of the info about Architects, their home world is shrouded in ambiguity.

im so fucking GRRRYYYFFYYFFFUFUUFUFUUFUFUFFRRGFRRGRGRGGHHHH I NEED SUBNAUTICA 2 TO OPEN EARLY ACCESS IM GONNA LOSE IT IT JUST SAYS 2025 BUT I NEED IT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

I need to roam and explore and scan fish and the only way to really continue the series is to focus on the Precursors instead of Alterra bc fuck Alterra am I right gang and like I would fuck SO HARD with finding more shit out about Architects and their culture and maybe hold on this is coming to me as I type what if the new planet is in the same system as 4546B and all the planets in that system are water planets or some shit? What if. and hear me out. if its not this game and they make more. what if we're on the Architect homeworld???? actually going feral rn at all the possibilities. gonna have to be locked in a padded room until early access if i keep thinking about it

did anyone else catch this while the stream was breaking

i just realized i shouldve sent the pictures of the prints i mentioned in my last post

thank you to the pretty lady with the nice dress who made them you were very nice and thank you for telling me about the way you draw hands

imagine a vampire refusing to drink blood straight from the people faucet as it were because its the same thing as drinking milk straight from cow tiddies to them

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on
