Well Theorists, it's finally happened. I'm doing a theory on Subnautica. This is something I've gotten messages about for YEARS and it was only a matter of time before it reached the top of my to-do list. So, I'm going to RUIN this game for all of you environmental hopefuls out there who have played through and thought you saved the day... because you DIDN'T!

MatPat- “you killed the planet!”
Me- “ah yes, tell that to the big gun that shot us and our rescue ship down.”
The aliens killed the planet
@-Y O L A N D A- 🍎 holy god this bot is annoying
@@aydentew312 I agree. That Account should be Shameful, next time they're Bucking is in Hell XD
Well, when I remember correrly it was their fault in two ways. First, they started containment (yes that big turret). Second, they tried to rush the grow of Sea Emperor's babies. And I will never forget they called us primitive creatures. At least we don't steal someone elses DNA to improve ourselves.
Every alien killed the planet
"You killed the planet"

Reaper Leviathans: "its about drive, its about power, we stay hungry we devour"
Also sandsharks
@@FishFactInc. When where realistic you have to think about the Distance of the back of Aurora to the save shallows and the stalker biom is not that faaar, and there is living all Kind of stuff😂 so this Theory is trash if you think about below zero where its pretty clear to see that theres nothing dead...
Erm, actually the crash zone was originally a part of the safe shallows and reaper leviathans are only over there because they are attracted to how much noise the crash made.
They definitely do devour…
Feels like a theory made to fit TeamSeas rather than an organic creation.
the entire video was made in the name of teamseas
Which is hilarious because subnautica literally already has environmental messaging he just straight up ignored.

Anyone who actually played the game: "Well maybe I wouldn't have crashed down onto this planet if our ship wasn't SHOT OUT OF ORBIT!"
Yeah i dont think he played beyond the aurora explosion
EXACTLY!!
That, and the fact that there's no human savior complex thing going on...the game makes it pretty clear that the only reason you are able to solve the disease is because 90% of the work was done for you, and you just have a little more empathy for...the..end bit...we'll say, just in case anyone doesn't want real spoilers...
Also for the trash that pretty much everything is synthesized to order...I could be remembering incorrectly but didn't the vending machines even actually just basically digistruct everything Star Trek replicator style?
And maybe I wouldn't have crashed the ship if I were actually the pilot. Riley Robinson had 0 input over the ship's course or voyage, he was just the only one lucky enough to not die

The water bottles in subnautica are actually not plastic. You only need a bladderfish to make a water bottle, meaning that the bottles are fully biodegradable.
Post crash water bottles you mean, those found on the ship prior to the crash are likely plastic.
krplus.net/bidio/iNp-aaiejHC0iH4
@@Dino_5500 Given how Corporate works, and the fact that fabricators 3D print *molecules*, the bottles most likely aren't plastics. It would be easier and quicker to make them out of pure cellulose.
Also the fabricators craft by recycling
@@Dino_5500 even if they were they were released in too small a quantity to have any major impact on the planet as such mat pat has made a fearmongering video
The biggest problem I have with this is that he never once references the Degasi, and even uses the cinematic of the Degasi crashing when describing the effects of the Aurora's crash. In my opinion, the fact that Matpat seems to think that the two ships are interchangeable and the fact that he never references the Degasi in his video, are proof that one of the three following possibilities is true
Possibility #1: Matpat either didn't play the game, or did the bare minimum with no non-essential exploration (he speed-ran it). This is the most likely in my opinion.
Possibility #2: Matpat did do some non-essential exploration, but somehow missed all the lore entries that would have put holes in his theory or outright proved him wrong. This is, in my opinion, the least likely
Possibility #3: Matpat did find the lore entries that proved him wrong, but made a conscious choice to ignore them so that the game would better fit into his predetermined theory.
With how much lore he left out of the video, it is not a stretch to say that this theory is not even partially right, it is completely and objectively wrong
or #4 basically #3 but he did it to promote team seas because he usually thinks more about the in game universe and how it works and I would like to think that "oh, maybe a civilization capable of inter stelar travel would have better materials than plastic" would have crossed at least the mind of at least ONE team member but there was a narative to push
And sunbeam was also there
Possibility #4: he found the lore entries but ignored them to fit the team seas theme
dude if he was right the Desai would of killed most of the crater
Biggest problem here is the entire video. It's clear he didn't actually play the game and just chose a random water game to make an ad for teamsea.
MatPat: "At last! I have found the Scroll of Truth!"
Scroll of Truth: "Subnautica's in-game lore proves that the Aurora's crash will not cause the death of the planet."
MatPat: [yeets the Scroll] "Nyehh!!!"
"You shouldn't crash here"
"Sorry, next time we will ask the alien weapons to not shoot us down"
Nah, just park it somewhere in the abyss, it'll be fine

@@scp-wasp3463 bro the wiki would've given him far more than enough, this man looked at the game for 5 seconds and thought he could make an accurate theory on it. (Love ya Mat but this theory was ridiculous, a bunch of key lore points were tossed aside just for an advertisement.)
@@irradiatednova1589 that is true
"The game even has a LITTLE bit of story" -MatPat talking about Subnautica
True, i mean it is 50%
Subnautica’s PDA never says their is any packaged food, it actually said that you could eat stuff like nutrient blocks as well as fruits and nuts
Matpat: the problem that the game doesn't address
Literally the game: "the aurora drive core will have devastating effects on the ecosystem if not contained within 24 hours"
Ikr
True
Yup
me feeling bad cause I didnt head right to the aurora to repair it til 4 or 5 days after it exploded... too busy exploring and making my base
@@aquamare1452 Yeah, those reapers are scary man.
Matpat, a couple of minor things about the aurora. The crash size was probably affected by a few things not stated in the episode. The captain's log makes it clear that he was still steering the ship when it went down with the intent on trying to minimize damage to the ship. He knew it needed to remain intact for a rescue to be possible. This, combined with the fact that the game takes place on the top of an inactive volcano instead of the ocean bottom, could account for why the damage was as small as it was. The aurora might have hit water first and then hit ground after slowing down.
It also landed at on a bunch of holes to the lava zone.
@@striderpup1169 That got covered up, Luckily we still have access to reapers.
@@Selena-hz8yc why
Plus the aurora actually landed on an island and not in the water at all
Also, the crash was caused by the Cannon enforcing the quarantine and the filtered water is made of only a bladderfish, so it's safe to say that the containers are organic and biodegradable
Let me ask you something
did you get past the reaper leviathan?
Or know that there is a gun which shoots you out of orbit unconsensually?
Or did you make a theory on a game which you didn't complete :(
You also missed the big boy lore
Pretty sure he didn't even venture past the grassy plateaus, or even saw the sunbeam getting shot down
Yeah, I think this video was more of TeamSeas advertisement than a lore video.@@retro777br
@@retro777br Let alone the Degasii. He even uses footage of the Degasii when talking about the Aurora's impact, so he thinks the ships are the same. Clearly didnt 'deep dive and search' the games lore
It’s like… it would be AMAZING to see MatPat make a real theory but no.
Ah yes, you're so right, it's totally my fault that the Aliens built a giant cannon to shoot anything that gets close to the planet. I'm so sorry.
We shouldve told the aliens that we didnt want to get shot down, what a mistake
“The radiation probably killed the animals in the vicinity immediately”
Reapers, actively travelling en mass to the irradiated zone: *I have no such weaknesses*
Yea, they legit survive on radiation- Would you like to hear my theory about that?
@@_-NatureMations-_ no
@@twentypence9163 Ok... I was asking them Lol
@@_-NatureMations-_ what's your theory
@@mememan1546 Perhaps since they are only found places near electricity and radiation(The aurora, the dunes with it's alien things, and the mountains with the alien base) they were created by the Pre-cursors to suck up radiation from the Degasi ship's crash. They would absorb the radiation, but in living with so much of it, went blind from radiation and developed echolocation to help with the murky junk filled waters. They eventually escaped and repopulated, creating the ones we know now, and when the Aurora crashed three went from the dunes(This is why the dunes has the least) and started feasting.
As someone who played the game and loves it to death, this was more than a bit disappointing
Aren't the aliens called precursors? It's been a while since I have played the game but loved it to death, this didn't do it justice.
@@cerealbeforemilk3566 yes and they are near godly beings with insane technology and godlike bodies and if you havent already then go see what they looked like cuz it was revealed in below zero
@@cerealbeforemilk3566 officially they're Architects now, I think. But that's all Below Zero stuff, which was also great btw
@@infernoxus1432 I have been meaning to play bellow zero ever since, Subnautica was such an impactful game for me. So I naturally tend to avoid spoilers, and was convinced the ancient aliens were called precursors and not architects
P e n s i
Actually Alterra has very advanced trash cans that completely breaks down waste to atoms and safely releases it into the atmosphere, so waste is a non problem if the aurora safely landed
The creatures in Subnautica are already used to (small amounts of) radiation. Here’s my proof: in most deeper biomes you can find radioactive crystals exposed underwater. The PDA talks about the radiation, and when you pick them up you can hear a Geiger counter make a radioactive sound. Reapers and Sandsharks thrive close enough to the Aurora even right after the explosion where the effects would be highly fatal for us without the proper equipment. Even jellyrays which have barely any protection behave normally in high doses of radiation. We might have killed a lot of the wildlife, but certainly not most of it.
Hello Matpat, excuse my possibly clunky use of the english language.
I was really excited about a Subnautica theory because of the incredible lore this beautiful game has to offer. This however turned out to be more of a TeamSeas ad then a theory. Believe me when I say, I'm a big fan of your theories in general, but this time just a pinch of actual research lets it fall apart. Please see the following evidence:
The Impact of the craft being catastrophic:
Logs you can find in the game (e.g. Lifepod 19 Second Officer Keen's Voicelog) confirm that the captain of the Aurora took over manual control and tried to execute a controlled descent of the ship after the midair/orbital incident. As the Aurora was trying to use the planet for a swing-by-maneuver it's trajectory in relation to the surface would have already been flat and due to its speed the craft would be able to hold this flat approach for a while. This would lead to the Aurora hitting the planet's surface at a much more controlled angle and potentially lower speed in the end compared to a "falling out of the sky" scenario, and therefore much less damage to the geology around the crash site.
The waste of the Aurora being a danger to the ecosystem:
While there certainly will be an impact of some items on that ship, it should be argued that a civilization this advanced will not rely on plastic as the material of their products. The fabricator (one of the game's crafting stations), where you craft the basic versions of the drinkable water items in the game, materializes them, bottle and all, from midair using some magical 3D printing laser synthesizing. Even if the bottle was made from polymer (I personally think they are made from metal, looking at the model, or rather from some sort of completely organic material as you can craft a water bottle using a fish as input material only), trash would not be an issue. A good indicator for this is the buildable trash can in the game. Its description says that it "Permanently deconstruct[s] unwanted items and safely release[s] their constituent atoms into the atmosphere." The same can be said for the similar functioning "Nuclear Waste Disposal" which also permanently deletes Nuclear Waste from existence. This technology exists and Below Zero shows there to be an ongoing human presence on the planet, so accumulating waste shouldn't be a thing.
The radiation (could also insert dissolved chemicals) being a danger to the wildlife of 4546B:
As it has been said, the radiation as a result of the leaking drive core would dissipate after a while, should the breaches be sealed. So there is a finite amount of radioactive material/radiation actually finding its way into the environment, that means it will start to be diluted by the ocean. The map we are playing on in Subnautica is called The Crater and is about 2x2km in size according to the data bank entry (Fun Fact: The actual size of the map is almost double that) with the rest of the planet (excluding Sector Zero) being an ecological deadzone with only microscopic and leviathan life. That would mean that the ocean currents would transport the majority of the radioactive material out of this small inhabited crater's area in no time. Your example of the radioactive material from the Fukushima disaster making it all the way to Canada in a really short timespan proves my point. The radiation spreads out, therefore gets weaker and as there is no source for more unnatural radiation to come from anymore, the affected volume of the medium (the water) will be moved and spare the crater.
I sure hope we'll get a Subnautica episode about the extensive lore in the future.
But hey, that's just a theory. A comment-section theory :)

Tell me you haven’t played Subnautica without telling me you haven’t played Subnautica
Hi! As someone who’s played this game dozens of times, I have a *few* things to say about this theory:
While the area surrounding the crash site doesn’t seem as damaged as it should be, the surface is only a small part of this game. A lot of this game, if not most, takes place *below* the ocean floor in underwater caves. As for the batteries, most of the batteries found in this game are still sealed in Alterra containers when found. Even if the batteries were exposed, and their copper contents spilling into the ocean, copper is already a naturally occurring recourse on this planet’s ocean floor surface. Also, this theory says that tens of thousands of wreckage are unaccounted for because there would be a lot more debris than just the metal scraps, but look not further than the *entire thruster* that detached from the Aurora during its crash, or in space orbiting the planet seen as the Neptune 01 rocket leaves the planet. And even if the negative effects of the Aurora’s crash exceeded the map we are given to explore during the game, the game takes place on a thermal crater risen above the ocean floor. The ocean surrounding the crash site is just an empty abyss as seen by the sheer drop off at the edge of the map. One final note is that the *entire* planet was doomed to the Kharaa bacterium long before the Aurora’s crash, and while the Aurora killed a significant amount of flora and fauna living on the thermal crater, the player onboard cured the planet of the deadly Kharaa and, as we see in Below Zero, it seems to have worked given the only Kharaa we see in the sequel is on a frozen leviathan.
Sorry, not to be “that guy,” but I feel very passionately about this game and its story :)
I understand that the cause for this theory is greater than just a video game and it’s pretty cool you guys are raising money to clean our non-fictional oceans!
Waw, thanks for this long comment, with your points made it makes sense and it defenetly changed my opinion

@@jediclarkewell, the description does say it isn’t vegan friendly.
@@dogmat8733 the water bottle also disappears after you drink the water…
when you realize that its a different planet and humans immediately assume things that harm us will harm things on other planets, heck the reaper leviathans could be sucking up that radiation like its nothing and it could be turning them into super hyper mega giga fish (well more than they already are)
the forbidden soup
I feel like Alterra was probably able to find some kind of biodegradable polymer to use as a replacement for plastic. Especially since in real life we’re getting closer basically every day.
They probably use a variant of bladderfish from a safer planet
Yeah, the water bottles disappear after you eat them, and after the impact you use bladderfish to make water bottles, so chances are you eat the water bottle regardless

Subnautica is literally my favorite game ever, and this video absolutely infuriated me
While I appreciate Matt's dedication to getting the facts, his information with regards to nuclear power and reactors is a bit off. I've been working in the nuclear power field for nearly a decade and its miscommunicated information like this that scares people. With out context of scale talking about radiation means very little. Explaining the values compared to chest x-rays, standard airplane flights or even bananas (yes they are radioactive) helps put things into context. Additionally the safety features in reactors are typically very well engineered and in the community we study what went wrong at both Fukushima and Chernobyl to ensure disasters like that never happen again.
Matt in the future it would be nice to see you do a collaboration with somebody from the nuclear power field to explain the differences from game to reality. A lot of peoples only knowledge of nuclear power comes from movies or games, which often depict it as bad. No technology is inherently good or bad, its about who we use it.
For example, sailors on board nuclear missile subs (meaning they are powered by a nuclear reactor, as are all active duty submarines in the US Navy) actually received less overall radiation exposure per year then your average person does due to spedning about half the year under water and thus not exposed to sunlight. Meaning living in a small metal tube with a nuclear reactor going 24/7 results in less radiation exposure then just taking a stroll outside on a sunny day.
@@7Seraphem7 just don’t go outside 😎
I was thinking that too. I had to write a report on multiple different occasions about which type of energy system I think would be best for the future of the planet, and it’s always been nuclear power. Of course, my ideal is nuclear fission, but that’s currently improbable. But out of all of them, nuclear has always been the most productive, currently powering like 70% France maybe I think fact check that, the most safe if handled appropriately and legally(Chernobyl was a massive fuckup of so many rules and regulations by Russia and what not to do), and has the most likely future in powering the earth. I’m sorry green people, but wind, solar, geothermal, etc just won’t power the earths current energy need, even together. And I’m sorry fossil people, but the earth can’t keep using it not only because it’s damaging to animals and people, but because it’s not renewable and we’re running out. Plus, green energy also damages the environment, we just don’t talk about it. Nuclear does by far, from my research, which is probably minuscule compared others, the least damage to the environment when handled properly.
Because it is futuristic technology it was most likely a fusion reactor. Or even better, if humans figured out a way to produce large amounts of antimatter efficiently, antimatter is the most efficient fuel possible (100% of the energy is released in antimatter-matter collisions) and if the storage system for the antimatter was even slightly damaged and even an extremely small amount of antimatter collided with regular matter it would cause a massive explosion of radiation. Also that would explain why the computer calls it a "quantum explosion".
I've been telling this for years to everyone I know that's scared of nuclear power (imo the best powersource we have atm): The likelihood of a nuclear reactor going full meltdown like chernobyl or Fukushima is virtually 0, Especially since then they have absolutely outdone themselves in terms of safety measures and security features. And addressing the topic of nuclear waste, I'm pretty sure that scientists around the globe are working on 2 new types of reactors: one where you can re-use spent fission material until it becomes something like the sun has with iron OR a thorium reactor, which would just produce a side product that we can use for construction etc.
I'm no expert on nuclear power or reactors, I'm just a student doing his A-levels. If I said anything incorrect, please do educate me.
Matpat just coming here to say that if you listen to the lifepod 19 second officer keen's voicelog the captain of the aurora says that he is attempting a controlled decent
the captain sacrificed himself to make a controlled decent and Matpat gave him no credit
if I remember correctly, the AURORA's captain PDA states he remained in the ship to land it in one piece ( aka controlled emergency landing )
You forgot to mention the only reason why there was so much trash was because the quarantine blaster shot both the aurora and the degassi ship, forcing them to crash land and not just land. The architects caused the infection to go world wide because they stole a sea dragon egg, and underestimated its motherly powers. Causing all the rest to go extinct. So it’s their fault not ours :)
Exactly. Can't blame humanity for this one. Blame the Architects that used the planet as a petri dish (the disease isn't even native to the planet), and set up an orbital cannon that doesn't even warn approaching ships that the planet is quarantined (and given hints in game, and especially the sequel the Architects were absolutely capable of communicating) before blasting them out of the sky.
Not only did we get shot down but were we even trying to land on the planet to begin with? It's been awhile since I last played but I was under the impression we were passing by and the laser shot us because we got too close to the planet.
@@eviljoshy3402 nah the aurora was trying to land on the planet, their alternate mission was to look for the other ship that mysteriously disappeared on the planet too
@@eviljoshy3402 We had a side mission to look for the missing in action Degasi which was *shot down by the Architects* without warning by passing over and scanning that planet without landing unless we found something. Then we got *shot down without warning by the Architects*. Then the Sunbeam picked up our distress signal and came to help.... only to be *shot down without warning... by the Architects*... I'm seeing a pattern here.
@@sonichegehodge5778 If I undestand the lore right, the Aurora was going to gravity swing around the planet while secretly dropping the search team onto the planet from orbit. I don't think the Aurora intended to actually land.
Remember the Sunbeam crew saying they've never parked a rig that big on a rock that small? Well, the Sunbeam is a lot smaller than the Aurora. I don't think the Aurora is even capable of landing on planets.
Important point (spoiler if anyone cares): blame the “Architects”. The Aurora was shot down, by an automated weapon.
Another important point is time. Time is compressed for gameplay reasons. After all when the Sunbeam attempts to Mount their rescue - they announce they’re more than a week away. It doesn’t take a week before they show.
& of course Sunbeam is also shot down, as was the Degassi years earlier. Humans didn’t doom that planet.
Oh and one more important thing you seem to have missed; the Aurora’s captain stayed aboard to attempt a controlled crash landing. This is why the damage doesn’t match what you claimed would wipe out the whole zone. She didn’t simply auger in at terminal velocity.
Inb4 “They quarantined the planet with the ship battery”
Can’t they have just adjusted the targeting range at the atmosphere instead of ships traveling near their planet?
Since when did captains of ships just nose down the instant they lose all power?
Ever heard of the plane crash in the hudson bay no?
@@dedelblute3946 C5 crash at Bagram. krplus.net/bidio/Zcqoqp1idmuamoI
Yes, Sully was able to make a controlled landing in the Hudson. & he was lucky to have made it. But that’s exactly my point. The Aurora was “set down” also.
Facts
WHAAAAAAT ? matpat ignoring crucial Information to make a baseless claim and call it a theory? NO WAAAAAY
Another thing that was missed, he gives a food calculation based on the fact that it has been dehydrated , yet I distinctly recall their being a cafe of sorts with items like soda and vending machines onboard.
Matpat: you caused the death of this planet.
The character who found the cure and stopped more leakage of radiation from the Aurora: am i a joke to you?
Overall you've made some very compelling arguments, but I feel I have to point out two potential oversights. Most glaring is that in the audio and text logs you can find scattered around the game, it is revealed that the captain of the ship stayed on board until the very end to make a controlled decent. While not a proper landing, I feel it lends some credence as to why the crash zone is as small as it is. Perhaps it wasn't a proper or gentle landing, but neither was it a full force crash from orbital height. Coupled with a few other theories I've seen, the site of the crash may not have actually been shallow water. There may have been some small degree of dry land, which would explain why the terrain goes so far up to meet the ship nearly all the way around, even poking above the water for a sizable area around the shull of the Aurora.
Secondly, with the exception of the truly absurd number of water bottles required to survive, you don't encounter much actual plastic. There may even be reason to suggest the water bottles might not even be plastic as we understand it today. In some cases, they almost resemble more of a metallic container. Though I feel a lot was overlooked in the creation of the game on that point, as no materials are actually required to create the container the water goes into. The bottle just seems to materialize out of nothing during the crafting process.
Coupled with that, is the food seen on the ship and various cargo containers scattered throughout the environment. Most are not shown to have any individual containment or packaging of any kind (which is only stranger considering most are found stuffed into cargo boxes). Given the technological level portrayed, it's unlikely that food was brought pre-prepared from another world. And although the ingredients aren't shown or explained, the "Nutrient Block" in my opinion most closely resembles something akin to pemmican. A dry, often bready and nutrient right brick with a frankly mind-boggling shelf life that is often made mainly by survivalists today, and historically in many parts of the world. The logical conclusion is that given how technology has taken over, no one actually makes or stores these food bricks, but instead has them crafted at various and potentially specialized fabricators on the main ship (before the crash). As they can not be made by the player, either they were destroyed in the crash, or remain locked away into areas of the ship that could not be reached due to structural damage (or most likely, something simply overlooked in game development).

Not saying the crash was harmless but the alternative was essentially mass extinction, i believe a very painful 100% lethality rate. So i would say our presence had a net positive.
the game was like a century away from this day with all that advanced technology you'd think they already had a way of cancelling most major damages caused by impacts of their spaceships
Probably even more
What happened was that the pilot of the Aurora guided the aurora down to safely land it after the turret shot it down. It can be assumed that with how little damage there is, he landed it safely and successfully at the cost of his own life. There's actually an audio file that proves this, the captain talking to the co-captain about attempting to safely land the aurora whilst mid attempt.
"The Aurora's drive core will cause devastating damage to the planet's ecosystem if not contained in the next 24 hours"
_player does this._
_Planet not dead._
"To the *local* ecosystem"
This is the same PDA that kept track of how much Alterra property you "borrowed" and any precious minerals you acquired to launch you into debt for the rest of your life the minute you are rescued.
It still exploded, which is why you’re able to enter the Aurora in the first place. It would’ve gotten worse had the player not stopped it, shown by the radiation field increasing over time, but the initial explosion did a good amount of damage, as well as the amount of time it took for the player to fix the drive core
@@anahera6859 the planet was already via the disease, that's why it was quarantined you saved the planet when you helped the giant leviathan lady hatch her eggs

@@hoaxgamingtrap You’re absolutely right (and neither have I btw), however this specific comment was talking about how the radiation damage to the nearby ecosystem is negated by the player fixing the drive core, when realistically, the initial explosion that let the player into the aurora already let out a ton of radiation.
When he started talking about radiation the first thing that I thought was “well, the reapers seem to be doing pretty good, even though they’re RIGHT NEXT TO THE SHIP”
And bonesharks/sand sharks and misc safe shallows/kelp forest fish living right next to the crash zone in the radioactive area (which is larger than the crash zone biome)

@@MrAskmannen Yeah, it really seems to only hurt you (which is a shame because reapers are so, so scary)
there is a theory that the aurora crashed right into reaper territory and they just learned to fend off radiation or are immune to it because of biological evolution

these kinds of things don't happen often but when they do it's the most entertaining thing on earth
You know you made a horrible theory if a chaos demon says the comment above
Yeah he did the same thing with hollow knight, mossbag has much more in-depth and accurate videos about it
He says "we" killed the planet whenever "we" were shot down by the Precursors. If anything, it's their fault for shooting us down and spreading this raditation. We had no clue about what would be on the planet, and we thought that the gravity sling manuver would work. Whoopsie do, it didn't and the Precursors shot us down.
It's ironic that he brings up Enzyme 42 but doesn't pay attention to the huge factor of the Q.E.P.
Does he even make the theory? I thought he just rips them off Reddit and takes credit for them.
For this one he definitely didn't play the game, the whole food/water packaging thing is completely debunked within minutes of playing the game
Let’s not forget the fact that the architects wanted to completely destroy the planet just to destroy the virus.
Not just the planet, the cannon building even has a bomb capable of wiping the whole solar system just to be safe 😂
Dam they arnt playin@@keanuortiz3766
They weren’t even trying to destroy the planet though…
MatPat,
Here's the thing, the player did not ask to be stranded on the ocean planet. The ship was shot down by the planet's enforcer. Players know this because of the Sunbeam. Life was taking a turn for the worst already on the planet. The Aurora was unlucky to cross into someone's quarantine zone. How did the player know. Radioactive material was already on the planet. We just added more, but we assisted the planet in the end.
Matpat in this video: hes got the spirit, but maybe he needs a little more knowledge about the game before assuming trash contaminates this crater on 4546B.

Matt... As someone who actually played the game, I can say that so much of this was wrong.
- Aurora was shot down by the Architect quarantine laser platform and the captain still had some control of the ship, slowing it down enough to not hit as hard
- all crafted things in the game were made specifically out of the surrounding flora/fauna, leaving it to be fully biodegradable
- batteries and the reactor core were all well contained enough to not leak as much as you said
- nutrient blocks had no packaging whatsoever, and Alterra is kinda bad when it comes to treating its employees so not as many nutrient blocks were made
- the Kharaa virus was cured by the player, making the second game possible
- the alien creatures living there already may have been immune to the radiation poisoning, like the Reaper Leviathans swimming around and the Biters + Crabs waltzing and swimming within

If you found all of the PDAs it states that the pilot stayed behind on the ship to control the landing.
This whole video essentially ignores the plot of the game, and the sheer technological advancement the future humans in this setting have made
I know right.
The captain goes down with his ship in order to make sure that it lands in one piece, and before the explosion the aurora is clearly in one piece. But Mat doesn't even acknowledge this, he acts as if the ship had been thrown at the planet instead of landing on it. Everything is downhill from there.
Yeah, also I'm pretty sure humanity won't still be using plastic in the 23rd century.
Humanity literally took-over the Milky Way and Andromeda in this world, so I think they stopped using plastic water bottles.
@@IbrahimAli-vt1fv we probably will, but subnautica bottles are made of organic materials, since the bladder fish skin goes somewhere
"You KILLED..." I didn't kill nothing. The player wasnt the pilot and the Architects that created the weapon that shoot the Aurora, how could any human know about it?
@Videoms I wouldn't say noble, since they were only trying to cure the bacteria because it almost killed them all, and they found the bacteria when they were exploring and probably exploiting the resources of other planets
I don't see anyone else strapped with a biblical bill for the destruction of the Aurora and misuse of its materials. :P
Idk but still later updates to the game make you understand more about the architects.So i guess in a way subnautica really never told us about it.
@@nigelxd3735 actually, when playing the second game (spoilers)
Alan mentioned that the reason why they were looking for a cure was due to the fact that they’re bodies are made up of different species. If it can effect the architects … a galaxy can get infected as well. So I would say it is a noble cause, but of course more story stuff in the second game it is revealed why the research was messed up
You forgot the numerous other shot down ships, the Degasi being a ship that you showed crashing but never spoke about, that leaves 2 large crashed ships, I doubt the Degasi ship was as big as the Aurora but it's still very large. There's also the sunbeam that gets shot down in game, it's very small compared to the Degasi and Aurora as it's more of a rescue ship, but the point of there being a MINIMUM of 3 different named space crafts that were shot out of space only to crash land on 4546B
A.those bottles are biodegradable
B. Alterra most likely cleaned the aurora to cover it up
I feel the need to point out some flaws in the expelled supply estimate. First of all, all of the supplies of the Aurora weren't expelled by the crash and explosion, as you can still find a lot in the areas of the ship that you can reach, with an unknown quantity within the inaccessible areas. Secondly, the Aurora wasn't the first ship to crash. The Degasi crashed almost a decade before that, and there aren't catastrophes stemming from that. Then there's also the fact that flora and fauna can be absurdly adaptable and resilient. You've got a pair of leviathans patrolling in close proximity to a lethal radioactive source seemingly unharmed, not to mention lizards that bathe in LAVA. Heck, you don't even need to look far to see strange adaptations. Tardigrades, for example, can survive radiation, extreme pressures both high and low, extreme temperatures, and even being exposed to outer space.
And as others have pointed out, the Aurora's captain stayed until the end, attempting an emergency landing, as well as the fact we don't know what the crash zone previously looked like, but is suggested to have prehaps been landmass (or at least very shallow).
It's also not completely Aurora's fault, the Architects didn't really plan things through when they just stuck a giant gun on the planet that shoots anything that comes close, because of "quarantine", as opposed to setting up a forcefield or something.
OMGG krplus.net/bidio/dreLeJeJnnvGe4Y
A
I was about to say it was mostly because of the architects for putting a massive gun that shoots anything that gets close
its not that the architects didnt plan correctly, the gun was supposed to strand you on the planet as to prevent spreading of the bacteria to other planets. they thought dooming that planet was better then letting many planets get infected. but yeah a forcefield would be much better, but would also inspire hypotethical "space pirates" to break through it
@@Chromus505 then make laser with a range that doesn't extend past the forcedfield
Considering how deep other theories dig, I'm kinda surprised how shallow this one was. From replicators removing the need for most packaging to the fact that the water bottles are made of organic materials to the relatively tiny amount of material the Aurora brought to the planet to the 'semi-controlled' landing the captain achieved to minimize impact damage. The crash would certainly have an impact on the ecology for sure but you could probably dump 100 Aurora's onto the planet and have less impact on 4546B than we've had on Earth and we're still around (though for how much longer is debatable).
I get you were making a tie-in episode but it was disappointing that it was done with such a surface-level theory on a great game.
True, true.
he needed da moni
at least its not his superhot theory
Right, if he wanted to shove in an ecology theory, he could have played that crappy Endless Ocean game and talked about almost the same stuff. That would make sense since that game actually takes place in the human world
He uses this game for nothing but a dpringboard to talk about what he wanted to talk about.
Earths ocean polution problem.
Which is something that needs to be talked about!
But there are much better games and themes to use as a springboard then subnautica.
Y’all say there are better games for him to do this theory with but let’s be real. You probably would not have watched this without subnautica’s name slapped on the title of the vid.
Counter theory: The reason the aurora didn’t do nearly as much damage as it would’ve done might be because it the descent was semi controlled, we know the captain went down with it while trying to attempt a controlled descent, so maybe that’s why
Technically, there were a total of three crashes on 4546B. The Sunbeam, The Aurora, and the Degasi.

We see the tsunami in the trailer but not the game, although, it was most likely an after-wave.
In the game you wake up 8-10 hours after the crash that's why
This entire video was such a huge stretch. It assumes that everything hundreds of years in the future is exactly the same as now. Which I consider to be incredibly short-sighted in a video parading around as science-based. Yea, I know that pointing out that subnautica is sci-fi is like protecting something with plot armor, but comparing a space craft from the end of the 22nd century to how NASA is currently getting to Mars is so bizarre and ridiculous.
and also, WE never intended to crash nor land on the ALIEN planet, how the hell would he know that a completely alien species would suffer ill effects of radiation? hell, the ship crashed right in an ecosystem with predators loitering literally around the crash site and are still kicking... or should I say, biting YOU.
And what's more, there practically 0 plastic on the ship, only synthetic plastic and the rest is literally titanium junk and blueprints, and what's more it was an alien orbital defense system that shot down the ship
Aside from the fact that subnatica is set in the far future, making any conclusions drawn from our current technologies shaky at best, there are a few facts established in the game that throw Matt's conclusions into doubt.
First, the existence of the fabricators means that food can be prepared to order without individual packaging, and that such packaging can be reused repeatedly and easily. This, combined with the fact that most small items on board the ship would be incinerated instead of released, makes his estimate of the amount of trash released by the crash laughable.
Second, the sheer number of crashes that have happened on this planet without destroying it's ecosystems any more than the Karaa has puts his conclusion that the Aurora's crash is devastating into doubt.
Just a quick edit: Matt, I'm sure no one means to bash your message (hopefully at least), but there were a few key details missing in your theory. that being said, I think another game that could also serve to help the message is Raft Survival as it's a little closer to home. Keep up the good work, your episodes are always really gripping to watch!
Lore-wise it would actually be incorrect to say that it's the human's fault for causing the pollution in the first place. *SPOILER WARNING, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED OF THE SPOILER*
The crash was caused by the architect's global defense system. So while yes the human's brought the trash and other pollutants to 4546b, it was by no means their fault, per say. That being said, you forgot to mention the other ship that gets shot down, if you don't disable the global defense system in time, and all the pollutants that get brought along with it.
The sad part is this isn't even that huge of a spolier it happens super early and matt should have know this.
(a couple of things)
In the game, in order to actually leave the planet, you need to repair the drive core, which means no more radiation.
Even if the bottles are plastic, they're stuck at the bottom of the ocean by the containers, as none are floating around, and only a human can open the containers.
There is no life around the Aroura's crash site to feed on the plastic, as rabbit tails are veggie-eaters, and the reaper is so large that it would likely ignore the tiny bottles.
A reaper is by the tail end of the crash site, meaning that it is highly likely that the Aurora is completely fine to be around, even with all the negative effects.
There are many underground areas that would not feel the affects of sediment displacement, radiation, or pollution.
If the destruction from the Aurora is so bad, then why isn't all life extinct from the Degasi, seeing as it had ample time to kill anything around it, but didn't and is flourishing with sealife.
If the destruction from the Aurora is so bad, then why is there life hanging around the remains of Sunbeam, seeing as it got the BFG treatment?
Even if all life on the crater is killed, life on 4546b will go on, by simple notion that the entire game takes place on what's basically a flooded continent surrounded by 'the void', allowing for life at the equator, void life, and whatever other areas there could be like the crater to continue on outside this chernobyl-like area of inhospitability.
(I'll see if I can add more in edits, but this is what I got rn, so enjoy)
@@TheEmeraldPixel The sad truth of the game is, you don't actually need to fix the drive core. The only thing that is mandatory from the Aurora is the Neptune Rocket. Fixing the drive core merely makes the game more convenient, and is actually not needed to win the game.
Speaking of which, perhaps the reason that the radiation doesn't go that far is because the materials they use for power is MUCH shorter than the thing that MatPat mentioned?
Rip sunbeam
@@TheEmeraldPixel You know, I totally forgot about the Degasi crash. And speaking of other crashes, you could even bring up the other crashed ships from Below Zero. If I remember correctly, they've been there even longer than the Degasi ship has and landed in similar locations as the Aurora and life is still flourishing around it. This one isn't even a spoiler either because the devs posted about it when they added it.
Matpat: You destroyed the planet!
The Alien Gun: I shot down the sunbeam to stop the virus from spreading AND to save the planet
MatPat is right for thinking about the explosion and crash, but as others have said it was a controlled crash and the explosion was above water. 1: Copper and acidic mushrooms are part of the ecosystem before you got their.
2: Scrap metal that came off the ship helped some creatures like stalkers who sharpen their teeth off it.
3: The water bottles are biodegradable, the batteries are in containers and the food are nutrients blocks that are contained by the same containers that batteries are in.
4: Aliens that have been monitoring the planet and that were killed off shot down the ship. Not us, them.
Also somehow leviathan creatures and all other sea life can survive the radiation anyways.

14:46 reapers, sand sharks and stalkers: I'll ignore that
The problem with this theory is you assume this civilization has made no advancements in manufacturing technology, also the whole map in subnautica is on top of a island in the middle of a massive super deep ocean. The most that would be hurt beyond the island is a few ghost leviathans.

I mean, i See no contamination agents in those alien tech things.
The entire planet isn't ONE crater (That's where you play, inside a crater, not an island) and then just an infinitely deep ocean full of NOTHING but ghost leviathans. That's what's IMMEDIATELY around the crater.
Beyond that is other ecosystems and lots of life.
And they have made advancements in manufacturing, obviously. They can now make plastic bottles in the field as well. So..... yeah, don't pretend Alterra CARES about the environment.
And the theory doesn't even account for most of the planet being water - greatly diluting the radiation.
@@Groovemonkey-pd4ht Heck, he doesn't even account for the nature of the radiation leak. All the evidence points to a leak of ACTUAL RADIATION, not radioactive materials. That's worlds different and he should know better. He even glossed over the key evidence as if it were nothing (You seal up the reactor and the radiation disappears).
