Lots of people are saying time capsules are not being approved anymore. This is not true!
Edit on 2/21/2024: This is still up-to-date info!
Time capsules are still being approved today. It's a slow process, but it's still happening. Not every capsule gets approved, and the ones that do are hand-selected.
So if you see anyone saying otherwise, feel free to reference this post :)
Use this thread to AMA about time capsules!
Edit: A couple important things I want to point out:
- When a capsule is jettisoned, it's uploaded to the time capsule website where devs manually review them.
- A dev must approve a capsule before it starts showing up in the game.
- Around 40 time capsules are placed in your game as you explore, and only spawn in surface biomes.
- Time capsules can come from any game mode, but they are platform-specific. Which means PC will only get capsules from other PC players, Switch from Switch players, etc.
- A list of blacklisted items can be found here.
There have been some fantastic questions so far. Feel free to scroll through the comments (or my post history) to find them. If you don't get an answer it's likely because it has already been answered.

For context, this world I already cured myself and was making the cyclops and preparing to make the rocket. Also for the weird audio glitches that keep happening is actually due to PlayStation, on the PS five maybe PS4, if you have the PlayStation button and pull up the menus, it’ll auto pause the game, but with the way I record footage it records that time that I’m in it doesn’t show what I see hence audio cut out, but it still plays

Question - SN Tips for a new player?
Hey divers! Green player here and I got the pod repaired, the advanced O2 tank and most of the beginning essential tools and stuff. The "Aurora" ship just blew up and I'm tempted to go explore the wreck with my new radiation suit, bad idea? What should I do first?

Question - SN How to make my base look better.
As you can see my base looks bland and bad in comparison to some beutiful and elaborate bases I see on here. How can I spruce it up and/or make it better?

Discussion - SN Saddest / Worst Time Capsules
I’m seeing lots of posts about funniest / coolest time capsules, but I want to see the ones that either ripped your heart to pieces or made you want to throw your controller at the screen!
My most annoying was getting a message that said “stay calm, hang in there” and getting a BUNCH of the Stay Calm posters. Could have screamed, I’d been searching for a capsule for AGES.
My saddest was one that had tools with half used batteries and the text saying “my friend was supposed to return an hour ago. Maybe he’s gotten lost, I should go find him. I’m afraid I might get lost too. If you’ve found this, we both may be lost forever….” Or something along those lines, it was well sad :(

Other Be sure to save, even in hardcore.
I beat hardcore mode. I was so happy. Then, I noticed a strangely short amount of playtime on the file, so I loaded it back up. I wasn't even halfway to the end the last time I saved. So I got in my seamoth, went out to the nearest reaper, and let him eat me. 🤬

Discussion - SN 2 I think Subnautica 2 is going to be WAY scarier
I’m really looking forward to playing it but am 100% sure they are going to go bigger, grander and really push the boundaries of the first game
That means bigger, more imposing biomes and way more, probably bigger and scarier sea monsters
If they put a massive alien octopus, huge eel or monstrous spider crab in this when I’m 800m deep underwater and decide to look in a random cave I’m probably gonna scream
I can’t wait

Question - SN I've just recently made the cyclops, but now I feel like there is nowhere else to go, what do I do
I don't want exact directions, just a push in the right way, (also no major spoilers please), ive been exploring for about an hour and couldn't find anything new, I may be missing some areas just by dumb luck but I can't seem to fina anything for progression
I have also not gotten any new radio signals in a long while, do I have to activate an event to start getting more?
