Can you beat Subnautica if days are 1 second long?

I love messing around with Subnautica's code, figuring our how to mod it, and learning how it works. This time, I sped the days up to 1000x their normal speed, so that each day was 1 second long. So much more changed and broke than I expected. From Subnautica's Steam page: " Descend into the depths of an alien underwater world filled with wonder and peril. Craft equipment, pilot submarines and out-smart wildlife to explore lush coral reefs, volcanoes, cave systems, and more - all while trying to survive.

I took the day/night cycle speed in Subnautica  and cranked it way up to 1,000 times it's normal speed so that each day is 1 second long Can you hear all these explosions?? Whoaa [laughs] it worked exactly like I hoped it would! This is way more crazy than I  thought it would be. Whoa, what is he doing here?? What changed about the game? What broke? And can you beat the game like this? I'll show you! Let's check it out. [upbeat music] So yeah I was messing around on stream  with Subnautica's cod
e like I normally do, and I'd coded up a mess of a mod that made a bunch of little changes to the game but I wasn't sure what to try next. What else can we mess with? Let's try making the day pass super quick? So I wrote a little code that makes it so days pass 1,000 times faster [beeping] [kiss sounds] and it instantly seemed like a lot of fun. Whoa, whoa whoa oh my God it's so fast! Okay mmhmm, she's talking over herself. [computer glitching sounds, then silence] There's no sound in the game n
ow! Oh there we go! Is there a way to see what day we're on? Day 132, day 133, day 134 So since we were having so much fun playing the game like this, I thought it would be cool to try and beat the game from start to finish So fair warning there will be Subnautica spoilers  in this video Alright we're starting a new Survival game let's see what happens! [game voiceover] Trend is consistent with damage to the Aurora's drive core [trails into overlapping VO's from game] Well, it's working! Can you
hear all these  explosions and voice things happening? Every time-based event in the game has  already happened! Let's see what's happening, whoa! It is already day 110 Uh, worth mentioning that one of the changes I made to the game with this mod is that these exploding fish called crashfish will attack me and explode at every opportunity. Oh God here they come, here they  come, no!! Every crash fish in the game is coming for me. Oh God we do have to get cave sulfur! Well,   hopefully they've a
ll blown up already and we can do that pretty easily. I wonder how many things are broken because of the day night speed? Why is it...oh does food rot super fast? Wait, are crashfish respawning? Oh my God! Yeah, apparently crashfish respawn after a few days but now a few days was just a few seconds. I did! I didn't even do it on purpose, it was an accident no please!! Okay can I no-no-no don't respawn no I need I need yes okay bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye woaahhhh This is way more crazy than I though
t it would be like more than I intended it to be! I did not consider the ramifications of all the things I modified interacting with each other Look at this scene we've created, the same fish keeps coming for me like every 3 seconds. It is day 280. We've been here almost an Earth year already. Well that was nuts! Then I noticed making things in the fabricator seemed oddly fast. That happened really fast, that was weird. We got to make that and then that...so I instantly craft things because
apparently the fabricator is tied to day night speed, who knew? We're on day 426 hello. Eat something, eat something you fool! Now we have food -- no but then the food rots instantly!! Oh no! Ow! We need to find -- Oh I died! So because our food rots instantly we need to use salt to make it cured, that's our only way to eat! Two peepers walk into a bar, one of them was assaulted [drum and cymbal sound] Maybe if I rush, if I like really, really hurry, I can shove it in my mouth as fast as possi
ble? Alright let me grab a few peepers and we'll do some experiments. And then go go go go go go go go eat it eat it eat it! No it's already rotten! Alright no, we can't eat unless we salt it. Oh what? He got me through the  life pod? One of the crashfish got me through the life pod, that's not good! Oh and we get infinite medical kits! Look at that, we get infinite medical kits! [claps] Okay, that's a good trade! Uh I don't think they'll be able to reach me on top of the pod but yes see this
guy, that guy...oh no they can still get me on top of the pod! We got to build a base like yesterday! So I set out to gather supplies so we could build a base in a safer location. But pretty quickly I noticed that crashfish might not be our only concern. Okay we oh [screaming] what is he doing here??? He's not supposed to be here, what  the heck is that, what is happening right now?? Not ideal. What about you, [screams] no why are you here?? No there's not supposed to be a reaper over here, w
hat is happening?? [beeps] Oh I'm drowning too. No [screams] we got to go home! It's called the safe shallows, I'm sure it'll be fine -- ignore the explosion sounds coming from all directions! What day is it? We are on day 1600. There we go, builder's tool. Ooh are our solar panels going to work? I didn't think about that - Is it going to work? Yes we have power! - power restored all systems online Oh base voice, you don't know how good it is to hear that. I really didn't know if this was go
ing to work. Boom, there we go! Oh God what are you doing here? What is this, no you're not supposed to be here!! So yeah I was really noticing that I was getting attacked a lot from every direction then I noticed a bit of code in my mod that seemed like it might be related to all this aggression. Interesting, wait -- aggressive when see target so am I making everything aggressive at me? Oh no! Okay, I guess everything is trying to kill me constantly. Well, good to know. We are on day 2,280.
Everybody enjoying this nice disorienting blinking light? It's like the whole game is an emergency. [mouth sounds] What else is crazy in this world? Like do crops grow faster or something? Next up, the island [air horn x3] Whoa, look at the shadows, they're really struggling to keep up with the sun! There's a new sentence. In the jungle, during this harsh day night day night. Alright so I'm going to scan the planter -- oh wait but these are going to rot instantly, see it's already rotten. Wel
l, we'll try it anyway, maybe I can still plant the rotten fruit. Okay, I think we're ready to try some plant science! Alright we switch that, whooop! [laughter] Yay, that was so cool! It worked exactly like  I hoped it would! Alright here we go we're going to go boop! I love it that's so good that's amazing! I mean it's completely worthless to us cuz the fruit rots instantly and actually hurts us if we eat it. I never go out there anymore, it's terrifying and the days feel like they pass so
 quickly. It feels like my life is passing before my eyes and I haven't even lived it. Anyway let's go find some more junk. [singing] today the minutes seem like hours the hours go so quickly I'm trying to find limestone, so we can find some copper, so that I can build the stuff that I need to build and we're still real slow swimming, like it takes us several days to get anywhere [drum and cymbal sound] [multiple mouth sounds] Alright can we make a battery? Yes, okay now we can make some stuff
! Boom! Where did my power source go? No, can  I not use a flashlight? Does it kill the battery instantly? Oh no! Because that's how it checks how long the flashlight has been on, by how much daytime has passed! We can't use a flashlight! Yep, flashlight just drains a battery instantly. - Well good. - Yeah, not being able to use a flashlight is a problem because it's going to limit our ability to explore some of the darker areas of the game unless we could find a workaround. I can't go in there
I don't have a light! Oh, a  flare, we can use flares! Wait, do flares burn out super quick? Flare, how do we make a flare? Flare is just -- oh my God. Cave sulfur, that's not what you want. Cave sulfur cave sulfur give me the cave  sulfur!!! I really hope the flare doesn't burn out instantly. Yeah okay we're good! Woohoo! Oh this is working wonders, okay I'm so happy! Copper wire, there we go! I always forget how  fast that is. Alright now we can can charge our batteries. Wait do the batterie
s charge instantly, hold on! There they go instantly full! [laughs] Well, at least I can use the batteries with  my other tools. And with that solved, it was time to find a faster way to get around. [deep voice] Onward we swim towards the horizon, sun ever rising and setting, quick as can be. [deep voice] We seek a faster mode of transportation but it is sunk to the sea floor. Can we find it? Yes we can. Oxygen, oxygen, my bad! We're fine, I can hold my breath for days [drum and cymbal sound]
Oh here we go, boom seaglide baby!!! - Alright seaglide baby! - Oh and worth mentioning, I made a slight modification to the seaglide that makes it a little bit faster. Yippeeee!! Woohoo!! Time is going fast why shouldn't I? I got the Leviathan warning but I don't care cuz it's like I'm super speedy. [screams] I care a little I care a little!! Alright now we're going to cut through here. Uh laser cutter not fast, laser cutter same speed. Go faster slow by -- oh we're dying. Well, we're going
to go for it, we're going to go for it. We're only 100 m down we can make it! Come on no we're fine, we'll make it. We'll make it [x2] We're going to make it [x6] Yes we made it!!! [laughs, air horn sounds] See, it was fine the whole time! Oh, maybe we need to trigger this event to see if it happens super fast. - Alright let's listen to this. - Aurora this is Sunbeam again we're now on route to your location I think this is the one with the timer so I'm interested to see if this does anything
funky. - Alright here we go. - Aurora, we're approaching the planet now... - Whoa, that was really fast!! It'll take us a couple of days to align our orbit [slowing down and distorting] take us a couple of days, a couple of days, a couple of days There they are! No, we're going to miss it! We got to get over there! - [Game VO] And initiating surface scanning procedures - Wait, what we overshot it! [explosion sounds] How interesting, it's tied  to in-game world time not real world time. We could
try it one more time, I saved  right before it! - 3, 2, 1, go! - We're approaching the planet Oh 31 minutes, 14 minutes, 0 minutes, we're too late! - Cross your fingers the weather - Whoa, we overshot it! Where are we? oh we went through the ground! Hey we made it this time! Whoa, look it didn't do the gun animation cuz it didn't know we're over here because we went so fast maybe? Frankly I want to beat the game  that's my goal. I really want the scanner room, that's going to speed things way
up. Scanner room fragment [air horn sounds] we got it, let's go, let's do this! Boom, scanner room! Let's just try to look  for limestone, let's see what happens. Whoa finds them all instantly! God look at all the salt -- what is this, the internet? [drum and cymbal sounds] It is day 19,170. So one of our biggest problems throughout this playthrough has been the basics: unrotted food, which in our case requires salt and water. Fortunately, the game has the perfect machine to solve both of thes
e problems. I am dehydrated AF. Did we ever find the the liquid maker machine? No we did not. That would have been good. It makes salt too, oh that would have been the perfect machine! Oh we need to build that! Water filtration machine! We really needed this. Alright let's build the water filtration machine. I suspect it will generate water and salt instantly. [fart sound] It does not. Alright disappointing, but let's come back to that in a minute. At least we can still generate water and sa
lt at the normal speed, right? This...zero [record scratch] it doesn't work at all? I thought it would do the opposite! How can you not work at all? Like it just does not work at all! Ugh, I'm so dehydrated. Ooh, we should see if eggs hatch super fast maybe. Yes, the alien containment, we  really needed that! So I wanna put eggs in there and see if they hatch instantly. Alright let's drop off an egg and see what happens. Hey! Yep, creature eggs hatch instantly! Let's do another one. [boop sound
] Yeah! That's awesome! Do we need to go to the deep parts of the map? At this point, if we were going to beat this game, we needed to go to the deeper parts of the map. So we set out to find my favorite spot to build a base down there. We're looking for a giant blue tree -- yeah the light is still changing even this far down. Yeah found it! [air horn sounds] This is coming together nicely! Alright folks it's time for the secret phrase! Remember, if you hear the secret phrase, like, comment, a
nd subscribe to prove you heard it! Today's secret phrase is: a purple tablet! Where are we? I'm so lost. Whoa hey sir, calm down. Can we make a purple tablet? [air horn sounds] [mouth sounds] Now we're going to learn if  the bioreactor charges your base super fast. Woo yep!! Alright here we go, we're going into the deep parts -- it's going to hurt, it's going to be really hot and burn-y. I really should have built a compass, oh I'm so lost. So yeah at this point, we  really needed to build a p
rawn suit so we could keep exploring those deeper areas  of the map without getting burnt to a crisp. Prawn suit! Oh I forgot! Oh no! The rainbow vehicles mod is on! Oh it's terrible! [typing sounds, ding sound] Yeah look at that day...and day. Let's  get in our prawn suit, finally! Yeah see we're already at our depth limit. [screams] Oh sir okay! Yes! See, now we can do this! Let's get some ion cubes! Boom! Now let's see if it respawns instantly. Boom, yep! [laughs] Oh no, but it won't let me
mine it! That's funny, it does respawn instantly, but I can't mine it. Hey there folks did you miss the first secret phrase? Don't worry we've got a backup phrase just for you! Today's backup secret phrase is: salty jerky, so remember: like, comment, and subscribe if you hear that backup secret phrase! I can't imagine what my blood pressure is in this game with all the salty jerky we've been eating. - Welcome aboard captain - [air horn sounds] And now, it was time for the final part of our j
ourney: building a rocket and escaping the planet Oh yes! - [water splashing sounds] - I want to see if we can get the prawn suit on the launchpad. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!  There we go. Where'd my prawn suit go?? Whoa, why is my prawn suit 600 meters in the air??  Wonder if we'll pass it on the way up? We prepared our rocket and left the time capsule filled with salt, water, and medkits -- the items we found most essential to our survival here. The local star and planets whizzed th
rough the sky at unbelievable speeds. Years passed like minutes, food rotted instantly. I have filled this time capsule with the most important items for survival under these unusual conditions. I wish you luck with your time on this planet, strange as it may be. Brad is Brad. - 3 2 1 - Woohoo!! - Time capsule jettisoned Is our prawn suit up there? Oh we're not actually going up, our coordinates are staying the same! - Performing gravity turn maneuver - Look at it blinking! The clouds are cons
tantly changing colors. 24,544 days. Well that's what happens if every day is 1 second in Subnautica. [music]
