The Ventgarden – Exploring Subnautica’s Mini Ecosystem

The Ventgarden is one of the most unique lifeforms on 4546B, today we explore this self-contained ecosystem, looking at how they sustain the plants that live within them, where they like to live, and how their design changed over time.

Thanks for watching 'The Ventgarden – Exploring Subnautica’s Mini Ecosystem'!

I love that the tree spires biome has abnormally clear water, so as soon as you peek over the cliff you just get to behold this massive organism in all its glory

[supremefankai]

Gotta love it when a leviathan class creature doesn't kill you, the ventgarden still "eats" us but that's fine.

These things were so cool to me that i based right in front of a vent garden. An observatory to just watch it churn and sway slowly. What a magnificent Specimen

[soapfaces]

The vent garden is an awesome creature. I went in almost entirely blind to below zero, so when I stumbled across the tree spires and saw the giant top of a vent garden in the distance it was an insane experience, and going inside one is crazy too. Also, I had no idea the opening at the top could push you but it’s pretty cool to know.

[AloisAgos]

It is actually possible to build a base inside of one. If you construct compartments right outside the bell and have just the right distance you can build a compartment inside of one. It is tricky to construct given the limited space (The one further south is larger and therefore easier to build inside) but it's a perfectly protected and enclosed location from predators, and you can put growbeds on its pads to diversify the plant life!

The Ventgarden is such a god damn cool creature. Seeing it in a blind playthrough is absolutly magical! Gotta be one of my favorite Creatures on 4546B!

I would love a video on Stalkers. The first predator the player meets always has a special place, and being tameable shows it has a high level of intelligence!

[thousandhandsthatundocreation]

Reminds me of that one time I found a chelicerate inexplicably trapped inside one of those. It was totally harmless if approaching from outside; I could even swim right into it's jaws and be fine.
Inside I could use my knife to slash at it for long enough to have me take a breath in my prawn twice. Eventually though it dislodged itself from the bell and tried to attack me inside the vent garden so I had to leave.

Bonus: I decided to name the first vent garden I encountered Sally. Ever since then Sally has been a guiding light for me when I leave the crystal caverns.

I always thought they were ancient, turns out with only two ventgarden adults this means they’re relatively new life, as these two ventgardens must have been the biblical Adam and Eve of the ventgardens! All ventgarden juveniles are SIBLINGS!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!

[ainikaevarov]

I think I won't forget my first time entering a Ventgarden. I went in to gather plants to make reinforced suit. And when I was ready to exit, I was immediately attacked by Chelicerate. I think he was aggressively trying to enter Ventgarden the whole time I was inside of it

New Aletho video!!
i really liked the idea of the Ventgarden, the whole "one animal has a massive ecosystem inside it" concept was always so cool for me.

[ASTRO_PAWZ-]

I have been watching this every time the end comes and says to watch the other video

[WeepingWillow]

Love your videos man keep it up! I cant wait to see what you have up next!

An architect video/ series going over their tech and history and such would be great :3

[christopherbrown]

I always thought that they would be able to seal their bell and lift off if their thermal vent went dormant to search for another vent. Normally never lifting off because it risks part of their on board biome dying

[ShinyFloragatoLeif]

I love these giant bio greenhouses! Thanks gor covering them and as usual great as always!

[Fulgrim]

Nice to see another video from you! Think you might do a video about all the tools the game gives you at some point?

[Dinodoode]

Been waiting for more of these these r better than any david attenborough documentary 😊

[grandmagunsales]

Desert bus in subnautica... Essentially the same game but you're in a ventgarden waiting for it to go to another vent and a Leviathan is forcing you to stay in the garden

[danubcraft]

These Documentaries Are The Only Reason I Continue To Live.

[The_GOD_of_Shadows]

Love your videos, keep up the good work.
