Some Subnautica 2 players will never get over being unable to kill their way through the game, say the devs, but "it's an important and interesting constraint".
If there’s no killing then there need to be better ways to scare them off or manage them besides flares. I made the mistake of building my first base in the middle of a hammerhead rut arena so like 3 of them are trying to smash each other directly under my tadpole dock at any one time. Just some kind of field that makes them uncomfortable so they go somewhere else I can place on my base, or make the sonic destabilizer gun actually scare them off like it does for smaller threats.
