Water Weirdness - Just Keep Swimming

[Neuromancer]

Water is pretty tough to simulate, and it acts very strangely ingame. You don't need a towel coming out of a river. Your lungs don't try to violently leave your chest if you use a tp chip from -200m to the surface.

There are at least 5 water bugs ingame. For example, maybe it looks like a lake, but someone forgot to tell the mobs they are supposed to drown underwater. There are invisible ponds here and there. Rippers that can cruise on land. And a special place where you can swim 9 meters above the ocean.

Thanks, and loot big everyone.

Forgot something - if you have another water bug, could you mention it so I can add it to the article. There are some strange underwater marks that look like mining hits, but I thought mining underwater was impossible beyond finder range standing on the shore.


One other thing, there is no connection between this post and today's date - April Fool's Day. Just coincidence
