Subnautica 2 mod makes creatures killable, despite its devs' desire to convince players to "use non-violent and more creative solutions"

Subnautica 2 is deliberately designed to nudge you away from seeking violent solutions to your 'oh lordy there's a giant leviathan chasing me' problems, with devs Unknown Worlds having been clear that strong feelings have propelled them down that path.
