About this mod
Introduces several bits of vanilla-adjacent content across the map intended to flesh out the world of Subnautica, such as new creatures, random creature variants, revamped biomes, and new recipes.

This mod requires BepinEx, Nautilus, Texture Replacer, Terrain Patcher, and the EpicStructureLoader. This mod is not designed to be compatible with the previous standalone Rising Waters preview releases (Grand Reef Shallows & Lonely Coral Plateaus), and it is highly suggested that you uninstall those before installing this. This mod is likely not compatible with many other structure helper mods currently available, so be careful with that.
Welcome to Subnautica: Rising Waters! This is the first full installment in a major project planned to alter the game in subtle ways intended to fit in with traditional vanilla gameplay while making the world feel more in-depth than it already is. This installment is fairly simple in scope compared to planned future installments, however in the future, new updates and expansions will add more complex features. With that being said, this installment does still add a good bit of content.
Let me know if you have any problems or questions with the mod in the Subnautica Modding discord server! My username's DaniTheDani and I am happy to respond to any pings about the mod.

Installation
Step 0: Install the following mods if you haven't already:
EpicStructureLoader
Texture Replacer (make sure it's the newest version or the variants won't work)
Nautilius
Tobey's BepInEx Pack
Terrain Patcher
CustomCraft3 (Purple Edition)
*Make sure to run the game at least once after installing Texture Replacer so that the config folder loads.
*As of right now, Texture Replacer is still required to apply the textures to the new creatures. This will be fixed in the future.
Step 1: Drag the folder called "BepInEx" into the Subnautica directory (steamapps/common/subnautica). Ignore any other folders in the downloaded folder.
