I can't see why the devs would add back a 4 year old item just to remove it a couple months later, even if that did happen it would've appeared in my google search that the item was added back. I had a check at my screenshots and although one of them was a screenshot of my inventory storing a battery, it's impossible to know if that was a lithium battery or just a normal one, as they're icon looks identical. Meaning that either the batteries and recipe got wiped from my save due to something else, or I never have used lithium batteries, the latter I know is not the case. Not a single trace.īooting up my creative world (where all recipes are unlocked by default) and opening the modification station up revealed to me that they didn't remove the battery entirely, as the recipe was still there, just impossible to obtain in survival, ruling out the possibility that the item and it's recipe got wiped from the games files sometime since 2016, therefore deleting all my Lithium batteries and recipe. So I opened my shiny modification station in hope I would have the recipe. It's not like I just throw away the batteries when I upgrade to Ion Batteries, I would've most definitely put them is some kind of storage somewhere. In the container specifically labelled 'Batteries'? Zero to be found. Searching though every single container in the base, as well as the base I built a couple days later, turned up nothing. So I logged onto my survival world and instantly went back to my first seabase in search for answers. This is when I was thinking up the first draft of this reddit post, and I needed screenshots to go alongside the text. Even if I somehow managed to miss the update, it wouldn't matter anyway because I purchased and first downloaded the game in September 2020.Īfter a closer look at some more forum posts and the Update History page on the wiki I realised that Ion Batteries were added in the first update of 2017, and since the Lithium Ion Batteries were removed in late 2016, that would mean that there is not a single version of Subnautica that has both Ion and Lithium batteries obtainable in survival.Īt this point it's just insult to injury, because had I not only experienced impossible to obtain batteries, but I had also experienced them at the same time as the Ion batteries. You might be thinking something along the lines of "oh he simply hasn't been updating the game!" but that's completely false since whenever any game on steam has an update, you can't play said game until the update is done. Seems like that should be the end of the story and completely undeserving of a post on r/subnautica.īut here's the kicker my first playthrough was in September 2020. Now everything I've mentioned is completely normal right? Lithium ion batteries were removed in late 2016 and I simply got confused after coming back to the game in 2021 without realising they had been removed. Looking at the history of the Lithium wiki page seems to confirm this date. The Cut Content page gave no information to when the battery was actually removed, so I gave subnautica lithium ion battery a quick google search and saw many posts on different forums all from late 2016 about how they want lithium ion batteries back or confusion about where they are. Why would they remove the Lithium Ion Battery? When was it removed? Imagine my complete shock when I was lead to the Cut Content page of the wiki, although I now knew why the Lithium Ion Battery was nowhere on the wiki, I had many more questions on my mind. As a last ditch attempt I manually wrote out Lithium_Ion_Battery at the end of the link. I remembered crafting these batteries near the start of my first playthrough and I had found them very useful. So I looked at the 'Uses In Crafting' section on the page for Lithium and found nothing about any sort of battery.Īt this point, I was very confused. So I was browsing the Subnautica wiki after recently getting back into the game and I couldn't find a single mention of Lithium Ion Batteries, even after searching for them directly in the search box.
