PDA: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:25, 7 December 2020

This article is about the PDA in Subnautica. [[{{#explode:PDA|(}} (Below Zero)|Click here]] for information on this subject in Below Zero.

This PDA is rebooting with one directive, to keep you alive on an alien world. File:PDABootup.ogg

― PDA, Dialogue

The PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), also sometimes called the Survival PDA, is a multipurpose device that the player keeps with them at all times.

Controls

Action	Mouse & Keyboard	Xbox One	PlayStation 4
Open PDA	Tab	Error: Invalid Button Specified	Error: Invalid Button Specified
Take In-game Picture	F11	Error: Invalid Button Specified

The various tabs of the PDA allow the player to:

Access their inventory
View their Blueprints
Toggle Signals and assign new colors to them
View the photos they have taken.
View their log messages
View their Databank
View all received Time Capsules

The PDA's AI keeps the player informed of their health status and will alert the player when the player has 30 or 10 O₂ points remaining, or if the player is getting close to dehydration or malnutrition. It also gives useful information to the player when they enter new areas or find new materials.

Abandoned PDAs can be found inside and around Degasi Seabases, the Aurora, Destroyed Lifepods, and some Wrecks. These can be collected to download their log messages.

Log messages

"Attention. Hull failure imminent. All personnel abandon ship.

Launch in 3...2...1..." "30 seconds." 10 unit/seconds of Oxygen is left "Oxygen."
Hunger reaches 20 "Calorie intake recommended."
Hunger reaches 10 "Emergency, starvation imminent. Seek calorie intake immediately."
H₂O reaches 20 "Seek fluid intake."
H₂O reaches 10 "Seek fluid intake immediately"
Blueprint fully scanned "New blueprint acquired."

Trigger Dialogue Opening PDA first time

"You have suffered minor head trauma. This is considered an optimal outcome.

This PDA has now rebooted in emergency mode with one directive: to keep you alive on an alien world.

Please refer to the databank for detailed survival advice. Good luck."

Menu

0:00 Lifepod 5 systems repaired "Lifepod secondary systems online. Running full environment diagnostic and outputting results to databank."

"Congratulations, survivor: you have exceeded your weekly exercise quotient by 500%.

Data indicates that swimming was your favorite activity.

Be sure to vary your routine for uniform muscle development."

Habitat Compartments

Trigger Dialogue Construct an Alien Containment "Aquariums provide an ideal opportunity to study alien fauna up close.

Select carefully which lifeforms you bring onboard - they may also be studying you."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Bench "Warning: endorphin levels low. Consider taking a seat and meditating.

It may help to remember that problems exist only where you choose to see them."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Bioreactor "A reliable power source is a critical step toward self-sufficiency.

Consider keeping a photo-journal of your achievements to motivate you in times of despair."

Menu

0:00 Construct an Exterior Growbed "Farming alien plants is a proven survival strategy.

Craig McGill survived 47 months on a healthy, raw salad of live tree-roaches and stankroot."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Moonpool "After weeks without human contact, it is normal to experience psychological discomfort. Research indicates symptoms may be partly alleviated by adopting a pet, or anthropomorphizing an inanimate object."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Multipurpose Room "It may be prudent to separate work and leisure spaces to maximize productivity.

Treat this space as your home, but never forget that it is not."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Nuclear Reactor "Exercise caution when handling radioactive materials.

Exposure risks corrupting your PDA's recording of the circumstances of your death."

Menu

0:00 Construct an Observatory "Unless constructed with a specific research task in mind, observatories and other glass modules are imprudent for survival purposes."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Window "Windows improve the aesthetics of your habitat, at the expense of structural integrity."

The knife remains the only exception."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Scanner "The scanner can be used to synthesize blueprints from salvaged technology, and to record alien biological data."

Menu

0:00 Construct a Stasis Rifle "Motivational note. Craig McGill crash-landed in the acid swamps of Boreal 9, fought off arachnid kidney-poachers, and hijacked a tame starwhal.

If he can do all that, you can survive one more day."

Menu

0:00

Basic Materials

Prawn operators receive weeks of training to counteract this phenomenon. You will have to make do with self-discipline."

Menu

0:00 Constructing a Seaglide "The Seaglide will increase your effective exploration range.

For your safety please pack food and water for long journeys, and stay within 5km of the nearest lifepod or habitat."

Menu

0:00 Constructing a Seamoth "The Seamoth is a fast, safe mode of transport, but remember that swimming is good for your glutes and endorphin levels."

Menu

0:00 Cooking a Hoverfish "Consider disguising the flavor of unsavory meats with salt, or locally sourced herbs and spices."

Menu

0:00 Cooking a Peeper "The fabricator cooks small organisms, while disposing of the skeletal structure, bodily fluids and internal organs, thus rendering them safe for human consumption."

Data Bank Entries

<tabber> Start Here=

If you are reading this, then you have survived an emergency evacuation of a capital-class ship equipped with Alterra technology. Congratulations: the hard part is over.

Your PDA has automatically rebooted in Emergency Mode. This operating system has one directive: to keep you alive on a hostile alien world. If that is not possible it will alert salvage teams to the location of your remains.

It features:
- Full monitoring of vital signs for timely survival advice
- Blueprints for fabricating a range of essential survival equipment, tailored to your environment
- Onboard camera, microphone and OCR technology for short-range situational analysis - Cross-compatibility with all Alterra-compliant products

NB Your personal and work files have been encrypted and may be retrieved at a later date by a licensed engineer.

|-| Survival Checklist=

1. Administer first aid if required
2. Take inventory of available materials and supplies, and decide on rations
3. Survey the environment for threats and resources
4. Construct necessary survival equipment using the lifepod's fabricator
5. Check lifepod for damage, and repair as necessary
6. Broadcast local distress signal using lifepod's short-range radio
7. Locate other survivors using line of sight or the radio
8. Find or construct a more permanent habitat
9. Maintain physical and psychological health until rescue

NB This information is meant as a general guide. In the first instance you should always follow the advice of your PDA, which has taken your particular circumstances into account.

|-| WARNING: Blueprint Database Corrupted=


Damage to your PDA's hard drive has corrupted approximately 80% of stored survival blueprints. Blueprints may be reacquired by scanning a salvaged technology using the handheld scanner, or by downloading plans from a ship-board databox. In the circumstances these assets will most likely be found amongst wreckage from the Aurora.
