Check lifepod 19, it has the highest density
is it near an island?
Actually yeah
thank you
I'm going to gather every. Single. Crash fish egg..
Must please the crashfish overlords
0 time capsules so far
do I need to look like right next to the lifepod 19 or higher?
That just depends. I’ve found up to like 3, but I’ve also found none
But I agree it’s probably the best chance for one very small location
do I need to look like right next to the lifepod 19 or higher? because I dont see any
I occasionally find one near the vent
As in, off that cliff face next to the wreck nearby
how do I know if thats a time capsule and not some random ore or salt? cuz I can't really see fine
Yeah, around the vent, or a bit higher where there’s the eyestalks are good places to check
Time Capsules have a blue glowing section
what vent???
One sec, I’ll come back with pics
In deep sparse there is an ||alien vent, it’s green with water swirling in and out of it||
Question is the terminal suppose to give u jiberish
The radio?
I have been warned for saying poop but in a rude way
No the data terminal
I found it
It just gave me gibberish
I can’t really type rn
Cuz I’m running out of oxygen
Do what you need to
I found the vent but no time capsules so far
Can u hop in vc
I don’t see how that would help
The wreck near lifepod 17 just gives nonsense from the terminal
Pls
I’d rather not
Nvm then 🙄🙄
||Lava Lizard||
Is that a thing?
can I find time capsules in creative mode?
That’s what it’s called
Idk
yeah
Never encountered one
Don't think so
I just looked up on reddit you can
Why did the lava lizard have to be so scary
frfr
It doesn't look that bad ngl
Please use spoiler tags for that content ||lava lizards and that biome||
@fleet creek
There are instructions on how, in the pins
What's the point tho
We should go to 4546B..
There's lots of fish there..
But there's reapers. They may kill us
That would be bad
So as to not spoil the game for new players
does anyone know who this is?
now I need to find a guy that sent me my capsule
Tbh, I should have spoilered my response too, but I fixed it
Oh alr
I think it might be jade..
which jade
Idk.. jade..
We’ve had a few Jades😂
It’s the one called Jade
jade help me go deep dark?
Deep dark?
mineshaft?
idk lets ask them
Minecart?
deep dark on map in subnautica
Don’t think that exists
Let’s not ping random people
what
Not random it’s Jade
i see it on map in game youtube
You need to go deeper. Have you explored the aurora
on frosty video
i go aurora it explozija
Did you unlock prawn suit
Have you scanned the fragments to unlock the cyclops as well
You’ll also want to get grapple and drill arms for prawn.
So you need to do some preparations before going deep
where grapple
in wreckage of aurora found around map of subnautica
ooooo i learn
good job👍
i explore map of floor
Guys Imagine Subnautica 3 
It’s like finding a four leafed clover imo
yes but sadly they were dupe loot 💔
better than noting tho
I got only keep calm posters in my first time capsule
How they got 6 keep calm posters I have no clue
I now have 7
👍
lol u can write it if u want
yesyes ima put that
TyrinBrock was typing. He did not send a message
Let that sink in
lol
I go now
Bye 👋
byebye
Finally completed. Off & On for years
Had to restart after losing save, so that's at least 2 full games. idk why i couldn't find the water purifier this time, but I just made insane amounts of coffee instead
Very much looking forward to Subnautica 2
I have an advanced scuba license irl, and as much as there are small issues I could raise, I just don't care . . . I enjoyed the game way too much
It may not be one from this server
One thing I think I suggested for Subnautica 2 are "Diving Lift bags" I think that would play pretty well. There could be various sizes, perhaps to lift debris, open hatches, or just raise anything toward the surface. They're used in search & rescue & at one point proposed to 'raise the Titanic'. Attach & add air to a bag for lift
Did you not visit the ||jellyshroom cave degasi base?||
Guys I ||helped the sea emperor with hatching her children. what should I do after that???||
disable the alien gun, then build the Neptune escape rocket
Look I play in creative mode rn and I can't cuz it says im still infected
at least a scanner says so
go back to the sea emperor, and interact with the little yellow-ish blobs that the baby sea emperors made
I am back, the sea emperor is sleeping and there is no baby sea emperors and no blobs
oh I found it
yea i just got to the blood kelp zone on my hardcore save
i beat the game originally a while ago
i dont even know how i remembered all that😭
Should I play on switch or ps5
as a pc player that never played on both switch and ps5, I would choose ps 5
Oki
but its up to you
Can I use the ||Alien Arches to teleport|| during the game, or only after reaching the ||Lava Lakes||?
yuh
Can anyone help me to beat the game ive got the basics and stuff down just have never done it before DM me if you could spare a few hours to help me out
Where in you in the game ?
ive got every vehicle and been to the aurora and stuff and built most of the rocket
besides that, have you ||cured the disease?||
?
Starting a fresh playthrough tomorrow when I wake up, I want a fun / fresh area to build in, preferable not a very shallow biome. And NOT the dunes, crash site, void, or mountains. Got it??? Also it has to be accessible early game and have plenty of resources!
No like big veins and such
Plus it's a bit difficult to fit a cyclops down thete..
A Seamoth can
|| mushroom forest blood kelp zone border ||
My playthroughs main base is there and it's amazing
Preferably right by the drop-off
Fish i texted u back and idk how to cure the diseas whats the diseas
||The Kharaa bacterium is what the said disease is called||
Are there ||Uraninite Crystals|| in the ||Bulb Zone||? Or is there another area you recommend for getting a good amount of them?
Near life pod 3 on the border of the shallows/kelp Forrest/grassy plateaus
Can anyone help me to beat the game ive got the basics and stuff down just have never done it before DM me if you could spare a few hours to help me out
I promise you'll have way more fun if you just play the game yourself instead of getting someone else to explain everything to you
idk what to do
You'll have a more valuable experience that way too, it's good to have to figure things out for yourself sometimes.
and i dont want to watch a video
I'd say a good portion of people who boot up video games don't know what to do when they first start. That's the point. You learn what to do.
How do you think people played the game before there were a million tutorials and all that?
ok i see were your coming from but i dont need dad advice if you dont want to help dont bother responding
Is reaper levi insta kill?
without a mobile yes
This isn't Dad advice, the game is better if you actually play it. You're asking some random person to do hours of labor trying to drag you through the game when you're obviously not interested in learning anything.
asking not demanding u dont want to do it so just stop texting
if someone responding then they want to offer help u dont so shut up
not a child but what ever you say
I really, really hope there aren't actual grown adults who can't play video games without someone else there to do the thinking for them
Where do i get nickle ore
Pic of that rock tower I mentioned earlier in SN 2 chat. It's always in this general area, though it's initial generation point moves each time it's loaded. It grows rocks over time and restarts the process if unloaded and reloaded. It's also got a really short render distance but has some very large particle effects going on so once you've got it loaded you'll probably know
it's actually right below where "inactivelavart" brings you
and I believe is itself the reason for the "rt" (Rock Tower) in "inactivelavart"
is nickle ore in small chunks or only big ones
It does come in small chunks, it's not hard to get once you know where it is but the biomes that contain it are not on the surface of the crater so you'll probably have to dive
whats the crater and were to cause idk how to get to places like the lava place
The crater is the name for the map you play on, in universe the only reason that area is still so vibrant with life because it's on top of a volcano
Dude, it's so easy. I personally havent beaten it, infact, im 10 hours into my first save. But literally watching a video is no different than having someone do it for hours. Infact, i'd say its easier. And you dont need to speedrun the game, take some time to beat it.
It's a crater from a (somewhat) inactive volcano
ive been on my world for 11 hours
yeah, on average a casual save takes like 32 hours
There are several radio broadcasts that lead you very near entrances to the caves
ive got to the point where i need to build the rocket and escape but i dont got nickle
You can turn them on at any time to follow them
how do i turn them on
You're not close to completing the game if you don't even have nickel yet
Have you been answering your radio? This is a common mistake. You get pretty much no information if you don't check your radio.
Yes but even if you fully built the platform it wouldn't let you leave the planet, you've still got a lot to do first
Did you get the Sunbeam broadcast?
yep and it got exploded
have you ||cured the desease??||
You'll wanna censor that, it's ||
dude censor ur spoilers 😭
censor what
The spoilers, the Sunbeam story event conclusion is a spoiler
oh idk how to do that
|| on either side
you put || before and after the text
ok i just deleated it
Easy enough fix t
so wheres nickle
Is it cooked for cooking
You'll need to end up in the biome it's in to finish the game anyways
You're definitely missing a bunch of stuff
Why the wiggle tube
from memory you'll need to go deep, if you ddin't find the lava zone, i don't think you found the biom with nickle
I have all my lockers in there and whatnot, storage hallway
Hmm okay, sure
where are cyclops engine fragments
there is a few in the arora
In your PDA, you can go to the menu that has all of the different HUD markers including your vehicles and any beacons, you can click them to turn them on or off. Turn on the one that involves ||YU's lifepod sinking to 500m||
you can find some in mushroom forest and also near aurora
but i'll recommend mushroom forest as you do'nt have to deal with some gigantic beast
Safest place is underwater islands
Im gonna tickle that reaper 😼😼
aurora survivors??
yep all of them i think
Well, they'll lead you to most of the important biomes in the game if you use them as beacons, that's what I do
what I recommend for you is to read the content in your PDA, there are often some "details" drop that may guide you
I don't remember the number but the menu has a description that should say almost exactly that
ok ty
btw, it's || on both side, not just | 😉
oh
but now you know it, it's fine
I was wondering, am I the only psychopath running my base only with bioreactor ? I find it way easier to afford x)
i am
Nah plenty of people just leave it at that, I like to make a nuclear bc I like big complex bases but the bioreactor will get you thru the whole game tbh
@humble lance how to i make them apear tho or am i in the wrong databank
There's a spot specifically for just the pings on your HUD
Lolll did you use a swear?! How could you
ok isee it
mb
i was saying bad things about the place where you find uranium xD because it's terrifying
there is one where it's very dark
and there is a leviathan
Several!
also mb, i don't always realize how much of a swear a word is xD i'm not native
@humble lance can u add me so i can send you a picture i dont think i can sent in here for spoilers
I jest, I swear like a sailor when there isn't a filter so I was just enjoying the popup
You can censor images too
oh ok
i dont think i did it correctly
You fell for it 😭
Is ts real?
i'm dying of laughter
there
No, it's a scam. Change your password if you put any information in
nice!
Alr ty
i only have these
i need|| yu's ||
like what's your deepest exploration
idk like 400 or 500 meters
ooh buddy
its scary
there is far more to find
You need lifepod 2, but you didn't get the broadcast. That is irritating.
my cyclops got attacked by like 3 ghost levithans and idk why but it destroyed me in like seconds
They probably just spam bumped into you
had to make a whole new one
Yop
it gave a notification that i read a little ago and explained a little
|| Well, you want to get to a bloodkelp biome because all of the areas on the map with bloodkelp also have a cave entrance ||
Trust me you don't want to see this notifcation again
i wanted to tell him to go to the one where there is a base from the ||survivor from the Second island|| becasue there is an entrance to deeper
i got the ||blood plant|| for the ||benzeyed||
|| the mountain one? ||
idk how you call it, ||the place where there are blue orbs||
the snake thing no thanks
Ok so you already know where they are kinda
Grand reef, it's okay to say biome names I think I just don't want to spoil cave entrance stuff
this one is with violet mushroom
same
ok so i gotta go to the snake place
no no
we are talking about a place, a bit on the right of aurora
You will probably have at least one unfortunate encounter with a large critter, you just get to pick your poison
with some lighting blue orbs everywhere
That biome is directly underneath the floating island with the degassi base
I use the island to help locate it sometimes
yes thx, i forgot the name
do i bring my cyclops if i breaks again ima be pretty upset
the seamoth is enough
ok it only goes 300m
ok, the seamoth isn't enough
I personally prefer the prawn suit for dangerous missions
yes, take the prawn suit
i have a grapple arm if that helps
ok where
search near the degasi base underwater, end try to find entrance to a deeper place
the aurora
you'll find it
i can't say more, i'm giving too much help x)
||there is a floating island, and below it there is degasi base at 500m, and deeper... you'll see||
||floating island or not floating||
||The floating one with the aboveground plant life, that has the degassi greenhouses on it ||
I went to the other and now im paused face to face with a reaper 😭
You go there, then just dive straight down and you'll see the biome. You have to do a little bit of maneuvering to get really into it now
what do i do
I told you lol. Good luck! Fortunately the prawn is very robust
ahhhh, it as the floating one x), the one far from aurora
escape to the base, repair and then go to the other island
||is lifepod 12|| safe
depth ?
250m
Ehhhhhhhhhh safe is a strong word
hm, i think this one is fine but... be careful
||moderate danger||?
There are lots of medium sized predators that can and will eat away your health slowly but surely
||leviathan level|||
Not usually!
joking, but you'll find some ||dangerous class but not a leviathan, just dodge them, they don't aggro that much||
Where can I find the ||modify the seamoth and prawn suit upgrade from something like the thing you build in moonpool||
I like to steer my seamoth into caves and then get cornered by something aggressive and watch it explode due to my own unfortunate actions
XDD lmao
The fragments for that are most commonly found in wrecks that you have to laser cut into
They're pretty common tho
I've searched the ||lifepod 17 wrecks|| found nothing but chargers 😭
how do i get my seamoth back 😦
That's his chewtoy now
aww
Like the Vehicle Upgrade Console?
||Yes||
If you swim from your lifepod to Keen's lifepod, there's a wreck very close by, and the data box is just lying on the ground near the wreck iirc
Vehicle upgrade console databox can be found in or near 4 wrecks, and 3 of these are relatively close to destroyed lifepods. If you explore around the lifepods, you should find it
Medium threats or no threats at all
?
I'd say low
||It's a little close to the Blood Kelp and the Grand Reef, but the wreck itself is mostly just near Bleeders, or maybe a Warper at the absolute most||
||I found it thanks man||
there's some other goodies in that wreck too, if you want to remember it for later
Or now if you have a laser cutter
Found the ||dive suit||
this has got to be the most useless wreck ever opened 3 doors and lasered 3 doors and nothing in it
nvm i just found the ||drill arm||
Yop, you gotta keep going deeper.
@humble lance i got a radio message do i go back or deeper
Oh cool, I'd probably try to find the entrance first bc you need nickel
Nahhhh
that was hours ago tho
He's in the prawn, he'll be fine
I'd keep looking for the entrance, you're on a mission for specific materials
Is lifepod 4 safe
do i need to go where it lives or am i going the wrong direction
Going where it lives is HIGHLY a bad idea
Look for ravines
Not into nothing, you can see the bottoms of these ones
have fun
did i find it is this where the base is
Looks like it, also put spoiler on that picture
Its green smoke i dont its a spoiler
Pictures of deeper areas are a spoiler
Check channel description, story content and later elements...
you don't
How to put a spoiler tag is described in the pins
does seaglide flashlight cost more power
Not by much but yeah
@humble lance i think i went to far what is that
Barely anything to see there but I suppose that it is a ||sea dragon and you are in lava zone||
i decided to save and go explore but it was too deep for my prawn suit so i went on foot
Ok, you can just take nickel and return but since you're there also take kyanite
Sulfur too
escape the pod...
Also as a courtesy to genesis the cat, don't ping him if there are other people in channel who can help you
ok didnt know and i died i was just looking around i got some sulfer and nickle tho
So you're back in base?
no im at ||degasi habitat in deep reef||
Ok good luck on next attempt
what does this little guy do
Sea dragon leviathan? Well you made it to the areas with nickel
i got like 5 nickle then saved and ||died to the lava and oxegen||
Trying to ruin your day, ||can also zap your vehicle and drain all battery charge from it||
Had it once drain all battery from my seamoth right after entering acid pool
That was really bad timing
And ofc I had no spare one...while usually I carry it
i am going back rn to base then going to ||yu's|| base
what does this get used for
i know of the|| blue and purple not orange||
||access to one of the alien installations, don't recall the name of it||
||where like deeper or like one of the ones on land||
In the general area that you were at, will have to explore more the areas.
ok
I've never even seen an ||orange tablet||
lol
i got this, kept swimming, reaper pops out of the ground to bite me
turned around and it didn't chase
is there a way to like decrease the brightness of creepvines in an alien containment knit
unit
Yes, plant them from creepvine samples and not seed clusters😜
burning my eyes 💔
thanks
Me when my cyclops gets stuck in ghost forest
is there any mods to make my base look better cuz like the bright white hurts my eyes kinda and even if there is just a mod to change lighting
I just had a bug where my prawn was stuck in the ground when returning through a portal
fixed it by just saving quiting then logging so it inche dback up
had to do 72 re loggs
That's common bug, but pinned messages have couple of solutions to it
There's a few places to use it in || the lost river, || I recommend keeping at least one of each of these on you for deeper expeditions
I didn't find any ||alien tablets|| I'm at early game
whats the best way to get ||nickel ore?||
The ||Ghost Forest||.
wheres the ||ghost forest||?
The ||Lost River|| entrance in Blood Kelp.
and how i get there any points i should be loking for??
No. There are a bunch of trees.
the one close to the ||gun island||?
It's a good place because the brine there isn't very deep.
So they're easy to spot.
And you have a bunch of deposits as well.
Yes not the Trench. The Northern Blood Kelp.
Yes.
I don't know.
Go to the || gun and scan the purple tablet fragment ||
Grav Trap, later farming and breeding in alien containments.
ive been using grav trap ty
Is it possible to kill a || reaper leviathan cause yesterday I used a stasis rifle and thermal blade and it still killed me ||
Yes it's possible.
And yes there is a bug with the stasis rifle, he can still eat you.
Considering it isn't really the goal to kill them I don't think it will ever be fixed.
should i get scanner room upgrades?
Sure.
You can stack them.
ohhh and range?
You can stack the range too.
I guess I'm obligated to mention that there is a bug with the range.
wdym bug
It scans with a 500 meters radius by default.
The upgrade only affects the holographic map.
ok
I've finally done it. My base spans 5 biomes and reaches from -500m to 1000m
holy carp
Unlocked scanner room 🥳. That was a lot of tedious going round in circles to find
i always get 3 billion scanner fragments at plateus its annoying
same with bioreactor i swear theyre at every wreck ever
i had the last scanner room fragment righit under my moonpool and i thought it was a moonpool fragment
sorry for the ping but i don't understand what the bug entails, are you saying that range upgrades do nothing?
This bug is on the current patch (CS 71288) as well. So don't bother crafting the range upgrades unless you want the topography of your surroundings.
Details: even with full speed upgrades or without any, the markers reach the maximum range (500 meters) instead of 300. Only the holographic map is affected by them, not the signals.
No. Without upgrade you still have 500 meters radius.
You can see on the holographic map there are yellow dots outside of it.
It scans around 500 meters by default, but you have a 300 meters holographic map.
The speed upgrade just decreases the delay between added markers.
By 3 seconds.
i see that you're using the experimental build, is this valid also for older versions?
also, i can't find the changes for the experimental build
is next stable planned yet?
The bug fixed in experimental are: Prawn Suit stuck in alien bases, camera stuck on the drones if Ryley dies while piloting them, stats frozen when using the Prawn Suit through two of the endgame portals.
I can't give you any ETA sorry.
For now the bugs I mentioned are only fixed in experimental.
ok, the prawn suit stuck fix was why i was running it for a while
it's been a while and i forgot that
I'm still hoping for more bug fixes. The leviathans can't really hit the Cyclops, the fix for the scanner range, and other things.
But they also work on BZ and it's a very small team.
any chance for a fix for prawn to not fall through ground when moving too quicly and game not loading terain in time?
That is hardware dependent, so probably not.
yes, i understand
ok how about more hotkeys for tools on PC?
fat change i guess, given that bugs take priority
Don't expect content updates indeed.
I guess you could pass this as a bug, but it isn't.
that might be a problem, there's less and less modders as time passes
which is natural
I beat subnautica for the first time on freedom yesterday, should I do survival now?
It isn't like that will change your gameplay a lot. At some point, when you get grow beds, water filtration machine and alien containments it's the same game pretty much.
I would go for mods instead if you want to play more.
On xbox
game doesn't have direct mod support even now, newest mods are using Bepinex which is an injector. Therefore mods availability depends more on modding community willingness.
I wouldn't be expecting mods on mobile.
knowing mobile communities, theyll figure it out somehow
found this unrelated bug with warp commands
the game teleports you back to the safe shallows if you exceed 8192 in any direction
but yes it keeps going
Feels like I'm hit a progress block, unsure where I'm supposed to be progressing. I'm partway through the ||infection storyline||.
where are u at
I went back to base (near the starting point)
Is there a fix for being unable to deconstruct objects? For example, I'm not able to deconstruct a bioreactor I put in a multipurpose room, or a window/reinforcement I added to a the big room
so u dont know what to do next ?
I have a ||scanner room||, ||bio reactor & nuclear reactor||
no new radio signals to follow
umm are u getting the notification at top left that says ur too close
too close, or attached objects, when there is nothing else nearby
have u been to the || qep || ?
as ive said many times, radio signals are mostly triggered by playtime and what areas youve gotten to
not vice versa
just seem to be wandering in circles without a goal
radio signals dont really tell you how to progress in the story after a certain point
I don't know what that is
has the || sunbeam || come yet
If the room had a window or reinforcement or hatch you can’t deconstruct, same if it had anything built inside it and you can’t be up against it
unsure
Right, but I can't descontruct the window or reinforcement itself
u shouldve had a countdown on your screen for a little bit
no countdown
if u havent had that yet then wait for the radio for it
then youll have some idea of how to progress
oh, the rescue ship?
yes
Oh wow - I've just loaded my game and I am able to now for some reason
ah yeah that was a while ago. Just name memory is... bad
ohh so did u go to the || rescue point || or no
it do be like that
sn isnt an entirely linear game
ya u can get clues throughout though that give u a bit of direction
it's hard to be certain where the edges of the map are and it's just death void
mm thats true but using sonars in vehicles can help to make sure u dont go there by accident
||I explored that alien temple disease research facility, and a sunken one in the deep areas||
have you gotten prawn?
Is the laser cutter required for the aurora?
the one in the || lost river || ?
yes
yes
||Cyclops, seamoth, prawn||
depth upgrades? for the latter two
I upgraded the seamoth multiple times, still need to unlock ||Cyclops|| ones
latter
seamoth & prawn
Then better go exploring and find it
deep areas?
if ur still a bit stuck u should check your pda downloads from the || gun site on mountain island ||
generally just explore where you havent
what I've been trying to do, end up going in circles a ton though I've been using beacons as markers
odd
without a map it's easy to get lost
Then stop turning so much
i assume youve been to grand reef for example
Go in one straight line for a while and then go back to a starting point and repeat
and since you said ||drf|| youve been to lr
I don't know what those abbreviations mean
||disease research facility|| ||lost river||
youve been to the || lost river || right
ah yes
have a look around down there n see what u can find
||with 💀||
explore lr more, specifically for resources
also
lr has 4 entrances
and theyre around pretty interesting and big biomes
so try and find them
Can ||cyclops|| go there? Too large for some places
grab the cyclops depth upgrades while ur at it
depends on the entrance
once ur inside yes
bkt is too narrow
other 3 are fine
||why is it called Lost River|| anyway?
the river be losing
seriously though it was probably a much larger trench-type cave system part of which collapsed and made a ceiling
likely has to do with the fact that the map is a massive crater
also, the PDAs imply that the entire lower cave system section of the crater was once much bigger
Cyclops can fit in all lr entrances
Just like you, it lost the game
The one near officer Keen's lifepod barely fits cyclops. I learned it the hard way (I glitched and almost went flying to sector zero)
they are just names used in lore for some reason, you generally wouldn't know names of hte biomes if not of external sources
lore being mostly how devs call them to give them names
it does look like a river though
did you get somewhere btw?
PDA tells you to search for || various alien installations and that's what you should do, there are also some very vague directions in the PDA text||
I returned to the river but realised I brought the wrong exocraft, I should have brought prawn with me, not the seamoth
lots of ore nodes
that depends, getting out of there with prawn is quite difficult
I'm using the cyclops
in that case using prawn for sure
yeah I don't use prawn solo, too limited in mobility
you can always just go back to b ase with seamoth and return with prawn
also gotta love people who use shortcuts for biomes when speaking to first time players
the abbreivations?
it's hard to say where laziness ends and stupidity begins
shorthand only works when the other person knows the subject
LR LL BZ CZ ILZ
like if "LOL" meant nothing to me
All SN1 biomes 😼
CZECHIA
.... whar
i realize that what i said isn't very nice or respectful but it's such a common issue in so many game servers that it's hard to ignore
What is BZ
Bulb Zone
alright
Abbreviations are also a way to easily communicate with someone without spoiling the game. I can say ILZ ||without saying there's a lava zone||
sure and it's completely fine if speaking to a game veteran
It doesn't need to be a veteran.
I can talk to you about LR and you'll know exactly what it is.
no? i don't know these abbreviations and am on this server for quite some time
most newbies wouldn't know the names of the biomes in the first place
The only biomes that tend to get abbreviated are LR, ILZ and LL. Because they're the spoilery ones.
even less their abbreviotians
if you want to make it a canon then pin it
That's true. Biomes don't really have names. You can only see them if you open the console.
But those that ask for help, tend to have made a bit of research before
but there are those who don't and who want to avoid spoilers, it's not that hard to google most answers without asking them here
Knowing which biome is the River is quite simple. And while you can argue that it's not obvious at first, and that it's possible to not know, on practice, it's not the case at all. The average newbie knows.
How many beacons do we recommend carrying at all times?
At least 2.
1 in case you find something important, the other will mark the location of death.
I thought beacons didn't show location upon death
Hm. You can always test it
In hardcore? Absolutely not..
I didn't know
Haha it's fine
I mean, I know it shows dropped beacons in BZ. But I never remember it happening in sn1
I just got the jumping of my life whilst looking for titanium
if people keep using abbreviations like this then an average newbie won't have any other chance but to search for the names elsewhere in order to avoid looking stupid
The catch with ||Cyclops|| is its large size makes navigation tricky esp in confined spaces
I've heard the death beacon thing being one of the backported changes in living large update
I named the enterance to the ||crystal caves|| that's under that small ||mercury wreck|| the gateway to hell
It's horrid in the safe shallows
We all have
Sorry, but this has been the case for 10 years, and what you say, doesn't happen.
People clarify that the River is the place with green rivers, and people understand it.
I figured out abriviations pretty quickly
i don't often see people using abbreviations when adressing first time players in this server...do you often give directions in this manner?
ILz. ||inactive lava zone||. LR ||lost river||
Krom is an exception
At first, I clarify what it means, then use abbreviations.
||go to lr then turn left, go down 200 meters, cross ilz, then go deeper turn right, visit lz, win||
Oftentimes, I don't need to clarify, people already know
peak immersion
This is confusing
And also, unnecessarily spoilery
and that's completely fine with me
That is NOT how you give directions 😭
When people are looking for something, I lead them there. Giving hints and not directions. And I never give them more than they ask - exploration should be left for them.
i know, it's a hyperbole in wrong usage of advice
directions would be given through screenshots i feel like
or more specific at least, like use bulb entrance, then straight left to ||cove||, etc
I tend to use landmarks more
Landmarks and signals work best.
Turn left at the ||dead sea dragon skeleton|| and head past the ||tree cove|| and then down into the ||inactive lava zone||
i started this whole discussion because of abbreviations used without any proper previous introduction
and i was mocking it, which in turn sparked this whole argument
I just drowned yet another skyray with my grav trap.. woops..
grav traps really need a blacklist whitelist feature
Nah
rather than just grabbing everything
I don't mind it. Makes it easy to scan the skyray
How cool would it be if subnautica 2 dropped right now
I ended up moving mine because it kept nabbing the gas pods and causing ahzards
Just like how I’m gonna drop off the building.
I'm sorry what
eh, best not rushed like Cyberpunk 2077 was
Well that's fun
i completely agree with you, direct people to the hints that the game offers and if they ask for more then answer.
the message that you were replying to was example of how extreme abbreviations often looks in some servers and where it can lead, but i admit that it's a bit of a slippery slope so not a fair argument for this
id only ever give a deeper set of directions if they've been there / somewhat know the area
Hi guys secret here
Trip 1: Location ✅ Right exocraft ❌
Trip 2: Location ✅ Right exocraft ✅ Alien tablets ❌
sigh
You can craft the tablets in your Cyclops.
they can be crafted?
Yes
i don't think I'm unlocked it yet, plus I need ion cubes
think I need to make a pre-flight (what is the aquatic version?) checklist
Second I build a cyclops. I fill a locker with salt. A locker with shelf coral. And a locker with uncooked fish
why coral?
Key to make cyclops go down?
pc?
Yes
c
Thanks
I like to answer that it's the same key you go down with everything else...
Bleach
Save some space and just craft it all into bleach frfr
Fish
PIKMIN
Yes
I love pikmin
Good
I used to have a pikmin pfp but now silly Na Na Na boo boo cat
ohh
I have had a Pikmin pfp for ages
I keep switching Mine I have too many options
mic?
Too many interests and things I love frfr
Trying to navigate in virtually no light is quite disorienting
Is night vision a thing here?
Saves also power. Another option is to build growbed(s) with edible plants to have infinite food/water in cyclops
Walks into furniture
I just died in hardcore in the DUMBEST way
Craft ina base with a bio reactor and it can cost one fish worth if power
You sure about that?
Yes
how do i make a base near crabsquids without them constantly disablig it
"one fish worth of power" is such a strange sentence
You have some competition
Yeah sonar is the biggest help for navigating (just be aware in cyclops it takes 1% power so manually toggle it when you need it)
I don't think anything beats my death
There’s stranger
Let's hear it then:)
precisely one unit of fish
I was building lockers in my large room, and i accidentally squished myself between them as I constructed the lockers. I was floating mid air and stuck between the two. The second I managed to unstuck myself I was flung across the large room, landing on the floor with such force it completely wiped out all my health. Leading to my death
Real
I once went into the bottom of my cyclops to put out some fires, and when I opened one of the hatches it squished me against the wall killing me
I think mine might be worse
I agree
As the unofficial, self appointed judge I declare you the winner
😍
how many thermal reactors would i need to power a big base
A few
Size of the base is not related to power need
Depends where your building the temperature and what you actually have in your base
How about deaths from pure stupidity?
My death was very much through pure stupidity
i mean more like one with a lot of electronic/ power dependent stuff
How about the time I died from thirst because I forgot to bring water along?
idk yet about what i have i’m not done but crabswudis keep annoying me so im building my reactors in the underwater islands floor things which is like stable 112
Easily done
Ever accidentally eaten rotten food instead of normal food?
Use this to calculate power need
#subnautica-chat message
Well I normally use bioreactor however I’d say build 3, then get your base finished and if it’s stable your fine, if it goes into yellow add 2 more
Thermal reactors just aren’t that reliable as a power source, but if depends on where you build your base.
Or be a nerd
i’m in creative rn planning everything out and ima transfer it to my hardcore world like build it wise
thank you
don’t crabsquids like disable that
Or even better, the time I got a stasis rifle which immediately blew up my ego so I went to the back of the Aurora to fight some reapers, but then I got overwhelmed and tried to swim away but I accidentally went further into the crash zone and got jumped by three reapers at the same time.
As far as I know they disable base power in general, no matter the power source
yeah that’s why i’m building the thermal reactors far away so they don’t disable it
Why not? They are the most realiable, generating power at steady rate no matter what you do. Solar power production changes by time of day, bioreactor can run out of fuel and technically also nuclear can run out of fuel
But can’t say I’ve tried to live with them before, it’s just what I’ve heard
Can say it’s not reliable depending where you build your base unless you fancy making a kilometre of power transmissions
But you're very limited to where you can put your base and they get expensive if your base needs lots of energy
they do, this is my first time living with them and i live with 2, they are kinda annoying but like if you build your power far away from the base they don’t really matter, with them being slow and everything
Most spots generate energy at such low efficiency, and the only good spots are pretty remote. The under water islands are good, but that’s mostly it, and If you get a grow bed or mine a large uraninite deposit, your good for a while.
tbf id rather not having to care about refilling it, thermal if you just have power transmitters then you’re set and it’s stable
Well if your building your base in a good thermal spot go for it
i’m not but it’s my only choice 💔😞
Good luck
ima build the thermal things in the actual like lava part of the geysers
good luck
Do reapers respawn
No
I have read that any slain leviathans can come back after a game update, altho at this point that seems unlikely to happen again
is there any online unknown worlds team people that can respond to you
There are some online but don't ping them.
dm'd them tho
How did it take me this long to realize that you can damage the reactors in the Aurora with the propulsion cannon?😭
That isn't better. #rules 10. Do not tag or direct message the developers. They are hard at work on creating Subnautica and will engage the community in public channels.
Honestly: I think the dunes is the best biome to build a base in. There's a bunch of quartz, titanium, metal salvage, and plants. There's not much danger, (if you count out the reapers). There's an awesome amount of spots to get power from. And it has a bunch of connections to other biomes, you can get to the LR quick through the blood-kelp entry. And it just is all-around the best base-building spot for me
i wanted to ask if i could use reaper leviathan's scream sounds for my game
Finally someone with common sense:)
(I always put my second base in the dunes near the blood kelp and mushroom forrest)
I put mine right in that area, a bit to the north though, it's an awesome spot
I also haven't yet built a base in the grand reef, but i feel like it would be a nice spot
You can't.
That heartbeat music in the depths, so creepy!
you're in the depths, almost no light, and hear this thump thump
Accidentally made a titanium ingot instead of silicone rubber
Ingots are rarely a waste.
silicon rubber isn't hard to get
What do you mean?
Does anyone have such a thing
London Underground? 🚇 😉
Subnautica map
https://mapgenie.io/subnautica/maps/world screw google istg
You know the lava zone and those other areas
and https://ignis.errorfm.com/subnautica_map/?game=sn for the technical bits
I need vehicle bay fragments where do I go
Kelp Forest.
Do fragments respawn or do they run out
Bc I do NOT want to go near the aurora
some wrecks in the red grass biome have it
Resources don't respawn.
my turn to ask: where do i find cyclops motor
it's been 7h of save, and i just found 1 😭
Behind the Aurora, sometimes inside of it, Underwater Islands wreck, Mountains, Crag Field.
nice
came to aurora, found reaper
They're nice
yea, he came to me
probably wanted me to pet him
there is a reaper in mountains too, right?
More than one, yes.
When I used to wait a while before building my base and my storage got full of titanium, I would craft ingots to save space cause I knew I would use them later
If only they added the recyclotron to SN when they updated it with the new base pieces
When I look at a map it doesn't show Jellyshroom caves or any others
Yes since they are ||under ground||
I see
||Wait so is Lr underground?||
||I went all the way down to about 800 meters and then found this place and went all the way down it. It had huge skeleton mass, and even what I believe was how the Warpers were made||
hello
Yeah
If it ain’t a biome on the surface, it’s “underground”
ok
Fish
If you're more than about 550 metres deep, you're in ||the lost river or the lava area.||
:(
Revenge
guys is there a mod that fixes the perspective issues
It's not revenge. You cannot apply human morals to something that isn't human. The leviathan is just defending its territory, and dealing with its hunger.
how will ||sea dragon|| eat now???
You are going for the kill, it is going for the snack.
VR.
Other than that, no.
ye im gonna play in vr with the mod
It's more of an issue with the brain. It's an issue because we don't have reference points.
If you spawn things on land near the trees, you'll see the size of things.
i feel like all the subnuatica creatures in game are scaled off of feet instead of meters idk
No, if you trigger the bug where you have no water and walk, you'll also feel the difference.
A bit like the boneshark that is near one of the portal entrances.
What does upgrading the sonar for the big submarine (keep forgetting names of stuff) do exactly?
And often go in.
Cyclops sonar shows the terrain an nearby creatures even if it's dark
It is revenge
reason why sn2 is stopping ts
A chrashsite is not it's territory bro
Also where can I get more Lithium, Jellyshroom caves ain't it
They didn't ask for a ship crashing in their territory.
lost river
Peak dunes
mountains islamd
There's nothing there I'm pretty sure
Gng there's reapers
I already looted what little was there
Rip
you need to go to deeper biomes like grand reef, blood kelp and lr to find these resource\
Anywhere else where there's hardly danger? Like another Jellyshroom caves somewhere or something?
I mean, I found Lithium fine in Jellyshroom
Picard - "Doctor, the sperm whale on Earth devours millions of cuttlefish as it roams the oceans. It is not evil, it is feeding. The same may be true of the entity." Star Trek The Next Generation, Silicon Avatar
Is there an HUD feature that tells me what biome I'm in?
I'm still killing all of them in the crashzone so I can roam free
blood kelp trench is pretty safe besides warpers
Do you have prawn drill arm? Mushroom forest has drillable lithium (as well as jellyshroom caves if you have only collected small pieces and shale from there)
I see
Yeah, I already looted that place I'm pretty sure except for Magnite
Though I don't have the drill arm currently
This is a quote from a show, taken from a book, called Moby uhhh.... "Moby Richard".
The leviathans arnt inherently evil. They are just animals.
The only evil in subnautica is us.
No, you can avoid leviathans without killing/fighting them
No, I'd just leave. I'm not gonna kill the leviathans
Sea treaders path
The caves of the mountain island have a lot
I see
You can't just "leave"
The main dude wasn't able to
You can very easily just swim away from them.
Or zap them
Or stasis them, or anything really
I'm just killing them, it'll make exploring easier
Especially the crashzone which I wanna explore
You know that they respawn right?
Killing them just makes your playthrough boring and uneventful
They arnt even meant to be killed.
Very few things respawn: edible fish, rays, crashfish (if their nest is not destroyed), shuttlebugs, warpers and void ghosts, and creatures eaten by other creatures
Oh they don't respawn? Tha sucks
I don't think killing them is funny, maybe only one
Okay? But I can do what I want, I mean it's just what I wanna do after all. Killing them isn't a bad thing
Also it helps if I wanna explore and not be bothered
