Befriend everything and everyone.

Id like to befriend any creature that is capable of recognising the player as none threatening like for example I wanna befriend the little crabs in subnautica 2 by giving them food or watching them from afar and letting them realize I’m not here to attack, like I want to befriend leviathan’s too like for example I wanna be able to hatch a non hostile leviathan and befriend it or befriend a hostile leviathan by giving it food, giving it space and letting it tolerate the players presence, like I want to befriend everything and everyone.

I want to be able for there to have like a function where I can befriend them like if I manage to activate an option where I can befriend that creature I want to be able to befriend it, imagine how cool it would be if the predators from this game stopped attacking you? And instead of fearing for your life 24/7 they’re your friends and they tolerate you, the player can even roleplay as a mermaid with the ability to befriend certain fishes or predators!

Id like to add that befriending creatures are completely optional! I feel like there should be a button where it disables or activates it :)

I’d like for the PDA to remind the player that they haven’t visited that creature. Why? Because at some point creatures will lose trust if you don’t visit them. And creatures are wild animals they don’t necessarily tolerate anything and the fact that they tolerated the player enough is already an accomplishment on its own. The player can enable a button where they don’t need to be reminded if it’s particularly annoying to be reminded or if they disabled the reminder they could go re establish their friendship with the creature.

Id also like to add as well that there should be a section for animals and how much they trust you when you befriended them and what you named them.

More addition, id like to add that I’d like there to be a setting for co-op where one could have befriending settings on and the other disabled cause it makes the game fair the person doesn’t necessarily want to befriend every creature either. But if this requires too much coding I’ll understand!!

It would be super cool if you guys added it into the game, if not it’s okay thank u for reading!!

i want the game to be a SURVIVAL exploration game and not some palworld type of game. I think the game is at its best when the world feels hostile and alien like you dont really belong there. Having a befriend system would completely remove one of the core parts of what makes the subnautica series good. The only creature i could see this kind of working with would be something like the cuddlefish.
