If you're under liquid oxygen, or nitrogen, or any form of gas compressed into liquid for that matter, are you under water? no. But you are still very much under a fluid and as such you are pretty much sea faring for every extent of the word.

The atmosphere is crushing you because the atmosphere is under such ridiculous pressure that close to the surface it has turned to liquid gas.

Okay, but then shouldn't the nauticrawl be able to ascend and descend like a submarine? The only way I can vertically move up or down is when I'm using the zeppelin.

aren't blimps just submarines that work on the gas layer instead of the ocean?

as for how the crystals change you from a mech to a zeplin I have no idea.

Well, rather than speculating, I'd still prefer to hear from the dev.

DeadPoolX, I'm afraid speculating is what this game is all about : )
You will find clues scattered around as to where are you, where you're coming from and what's the state of things with this weird place. But ultimately, it's up to you to come up with your own theories like rocketdrive already did.

An Atmosphere is a unit of pressure, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_(unit)

The pressure experienced by deep-sea divers is in fact usually measured in Atmospheres.

I just pretend I'm in Venus, :)

I don't have a lot of time in game, around 90 minutes, but it def feels like the crawlers are either under a liquid (like super deep or a super dense liquid to get the pressure stated) or under a heavy gaseous atmosphere, or on a big dense planet with lots of G. Basically something to get that much pressure as stated.

Judging by everything I can tell about the crawlers themselves, they are using combustion engines to create pressure that propels it forward (or makes it crawl). In order to burn a fuel you need oxygen, either liquid O2 or mixed in a gas atmosphere.

When you open the hatch there is very much a yellow color is one of the last things you can see. What kind of element would have a yellow color?

What are some of the other hints we get? Like about the atmosphere being caustic or high levels of radiation?
