📋 About This Mod

Now works with Subnautica 2. 0 (Living Large)! 

Ever get spooked out standing in the scanner room with the "circus music" playing while you are alone 250m deep?  How about the gloomy sound of sonar pings coming from nowhere and traveling off into the void while you are staring at your lantern trees? Look no further, this is the mod for you! (and me lol)

Features:

Mute/unmute the following sounds via the ingame menu/config file:

  • []Scanner room ambient background music

    []Generic "indoor sounds" you hear in the habitat

    []Water filtration machine running sound

    []Background biome ambience sounds while inside the habitat (Useful when you mute the "indoor sounds" as these become much louder and more prominent)

    []Slider options to individually control the volume when indoors and outdoors for the following creatures:

    [] Reefbacks

    [] GasoPods

    [] Stalkers

    Installation:
