What is what happens when you die in subnautica?

In Subnautica, when your character dies, you will respawn back at your last saved position, typically at the last base or lifepod you accessed. You will lose any items you were carrying at the time of your death, but can retrieve them by returning to the location where you died. It is important to note that dying in Hardcore mode will result in the permanent deletion of your save file, so players must exercise caution and strategize their actions to avoid such a consequence.
