Troubleshooting
- ! Can I tame or feed Spinefish?
Cause: Sub1 had limited tameable species (only Cuddlefish was a true pet). Spinefish was unknown — interaction depended on game mechanics.
- Sub1 baseline: most non-aggressive fish were edible (Survival Knife harvest) and could be raised in Alien Containment.
- Sub2 multiplayer co-op may introduce new interaction mechanics — TBD at launch.
- For breeding: Spinefish eggs (if available) hatch in Alien Containment with optimal lighting.
- ! Where exactly does Spinefish spawn?
Cause: Sub2 (Ariadne Arm) is a new planet — exact biome layouts ship May 14, 2026.
- Sub1 reference biomes: TBD.
- Sub2 likely places Spinefish in equivalent ecological niches.
