It’s hard to visualise the true size of the Pacific Ocean until you look at it on a globe

So what I'm hearing is that Subnautica is off the table.
Subnautica? The game where literally the starting area has light reaching the ocean floor like that comment says?
I think you need to play it again
Where the planet is mostly abyss with super predators in it.
Where the planet is not covered by a 600mile deep ocean with super ice on the bottom, and has big areas with light reaching the sediment.
A planet where everything is deep ocean and frozen at the bottom does not provide enough minerals. But I don't know why this still needs explaining when the info was already available literally in the comment you replied to?
Read the words please.
In Subnauticas own lore, the caldera is a fluke alongside below zero's biome. The entirity of the planet otherwise is 'the abyss' which, now that I've read up on it - is not nearly as deep as I thought - that being only about 8 kilometers deep.
So I'm back to not being sure, there certainly wouldn't be any super ice but the nature of the abyss is still odd.
