[winter spindle]

Megalodons weren't that large, but they were very chonky carnivores

[gusty mirage]

reefbacks are good food source for them tho

[sleek topaz]

hi guys

[sudden lake]

But something like bone sharks

[sudden lake]

Hello

[sudden lake]

They are way bigger

[winter spindle]

Megalodons are significantly smaller, and not even Reapers can eat Reefbacks.

[mortal furnace]

Hm so mayhaps those bones are Built Different and don’t have any nutrients other critters want? Or an insane enamel

[sudden lake]

And have hard shell

[wind bridge]

Fyi thats not a fact thats a question

[sleek topaz]

sup

[gusty mirage]

mb

[sudden lake]

Just chilling, hru?

[sleek topaz]

im good

[gusty mirage]

well then how about the armored dunkleosteus?

[gusty mirage]

forgot the spelling

[sudden lake]

Aint it smaller?

[mortal furnace]

Dunk my beloved

[winter spindle]

Another relatively small but chonky carnivore that would need a lot of food to survive

[gusty mirage]

but they are capable to on killing megs

[sudden lake]

I mean probably any animal from earth could survive there, but it Just wouldnt be so big compared to living subnautica animals

[gusty mirage]

do u think below zero of subnautica is on the far side of the planet?

[winter spindle]

It depends, as the creatures have little food in 4546B. I don't think anything larger than a great white that isn't a filter feeder would survive long

[sudden lake]

Are 😳? STILL ARE?

[mortal furnace]

Let’s put anomalocaris in the crater. For enrichment /j

[gusty mirage]

ik how about we put in a mako shark and hammerheads on the kelp forests

[wind bridge]

I think yes because of what we see at the end of the game in sn 1

[winter spindle]

Yeah, the first line in BZ after you get to the planet is "Welcome to 4546B"

[sudden lake]

Well, There are many differently sized animals in subnautica and they're all alive

[mortal furnace]

Leedsichthys hours!!!!

[wind bridge]

I think they meant on the otherside of the planet

[gusty mirage]

therefore theres completely different biomes then idk havent played it

[mortal furnace]

Tbf they’re evolved to prey on specific things and counter their defenses

[gusty mirage]

yes indeed

[raven trail]

No flight attendant to open the doors or offer food or water 🙄

[winter spindle]

The larger creatures in 4546B are usually eels, save for a few

Eel-like bodies can grow very long without as much sustenance as sharks on Earth

[winter spindle]

One of the exceptions is already going extinct due to lack of food

[mortal furnace]

I mean I’m pretty sure that a 4m dunkleosteus, no matter how chonky would still need a LOT less nutrients than a 55m reaper

If that’s what u mean

[winter spindle]

4m dunky would barely survive, but I guess it's plausible

[mortal furnace]

Yeye XD he’d be struggling

[winter spindle]

It'd have to deal with the 1m biters

[mortal furnace]

LMAO

But that’s how big they’re estimated to have been after they Shrunk the Dunk

[winter spindle]

I thought it was about 8 meters long

Meg was also shrunken quite a bit. Barely larger than a whale shark at best. But it was definitely a chonker

Megs and Dunks had an advantage at the time, they didn't have that many predators

4546B does have a lot of predators

[mortal furnace]

Bdbdndndbs ya sure does

[gusty mirage]

watching a subnautica documentary about it's biology lol

[winter spindle]

Bleeders and Biters would destroy most Earth species due to their pack behaviour and how most vertebrates have fleshy bodies

[mortal furnace]

IKR it’s wild

Subnautica messes with your size perception. A blue whale is incomprehensibly huge. You can crawl through its heart valves. And they’re “only” 30m

[ornate pivot]

Big piranhas

[wind bridge]

Shrimp giant

[winter spindle]

I wonder if someone tested that

[wild mirage]

that plus the fact we dont really have a reference for ourselves to percieve the true size of these creatures (as we play)

[sudden lake]

Yeah, without such evolution it would be hard for them, but i think some could survive, or at least have Time to adapt

But idk

[winter spindle]

I think the worst part is the fact prey fish get smaller when you pick them up

[mortal furnace]

LMAO yeah

[wild mirage]

Indeed

[mortal furnace]

And the camera tends to make things feel smaller I think

[ornate pivot]

Ryley has a built-in shrink ray

Shrimp ray

[mortal furnace]

Also messes with how you think of depths. Girl how tf am I darting up from 300m on a sea glide and not exploding instantly

You’d die from 20 meters going that fast

[wild mirage]

another question: How are we going over a kilometer deep and tanking that pressure

[mortal furnace]

I DONT KNOWWW

[wild mirage]

Riley: Light work no reaction

[mortal furnace]

XD

[wild mirage]

Bro has seen and survived it all

[wind bridge]

Future suit idk

[wild mirage]

The lore he'd spill over his kids if he had any would be crazy

[winter spindle]

Read the PDA, sillies

[mortal furnace]

And the way you have to go up and down before you get a sea moth. He’s gotta be SO carbonated how have you not died to DCI

[mortal furnace]

I know dhbdbdnd I’m having fun tho

[winter spindle]

You can read about how the pressure is countered in the Alterra Dive Suit!

[mortal furnace]

Ough

[wind bridge]

Im right lets go

[winter spindle]

It's all techy and stuff

[mortal furnace]

NEAT

Wish I had that thing. I’d find so many shrimps

[winter spindle]

The bottles from filtered water are biodegradable

[mortal furnace]

Imagine not having an NDL. Woaw

[wild mirage]

HAH "right" gears of war reference!!!!

[wind bridge]

Bro is desperately trying to get back at me

[wild mirage]

Hah, desperate, GEARS OF WAR reference!!!!!

[wind bridge]

War soad reference (this is definitely about subnautica please dont bot me)

[wild mirage]

WAR, halo reference?!?!?!!

[obtuse jungle]

The awesome Deathrun Remade mod introduces (among many other things) a nitrogen mechanic, so you can’t dash up from depth without getting the bends.

[mortal furnace]

YOOOO nice!!! Get me carbonated

[scenic oriole]

Also personal crush depth, so you need upgraded suits to dive deeper

[mortal furnace]

Yummy

[long flame]

where do i find cyclops sonar module

[naive ibex]

does anyone else get very annoyed by the Subanutica fans on tiktok

[sudden lake]

Dont you unlock it when you build cyclops? Or you dont mean blueprint but Just thing?

[sudden lake]

What do they do?

[naive ibex]

they constantly spew stuff about "void optic leviathan" and the Garg and act like they're the biggest Levi's In the game even tho their mods, they misquote common popular lines and treat Subanutica like it's purely a horror game with no other aspects besides "big scary fish" and they also hate on below zero cuz it's a trend

Subanutica became tiktok brainrot

they also treat the void like some horrific mythical demon creature when it's just three ghost leviathans ✌️

[sudden lake]

Well, i dont have tik tok, tho i often see some edits of gargantuan on yt shorts, and yeah you are kinda right cuz, i like gargantuan but its Just kinda too much maybe, but i dont really feel like it became a brainrot

I dislike when People hate on elow zero, i understand it is worse, could be better, i havent played it yet, but tbh i feel like People hate a Lil too much on it

Tho i shouldnt day anything cuz i didnt play it nor watch

[scenic oriole]

No, cyclops sonar upgrade module needs blueprint from databox, just like almost all other cyclops upgrade modules.

[naive ibex]

you can tell when ppl gather ideas not by themselves

[wild mirage]

Inevitability of any game

[naive ibex]

this guy has never played BZ

[sudden lake]

But i think its quite interesting, its Just a Lil different from subnautica (lots of big surface biomes) but i dont think it makes it So bad

[naive ibex]

like if BZ has the cyclops it would be useless

[sudden lake]

It is worse, but not as bad

[sudden lake]

Oh then idk i think you can see on wiki maybe

I have it tho i do t remember where it came from

[naive ibex]

the Garg is a cool thing but it's a one trick Pony, it's a big fish and it doesn't mesh well with the game, it has scare factor and nothing else, ppl treat like the fishes being bigger is better

[wild mirage]

People can have their own opinions about both games but the main reason I see BZ being hated on is they keep comparing it to the original, pointing out the good the original did and the bad BZ did, not fair imo

[naive ibex]

BZ is fantastic idk why it gets hate

[scenic oriole]

Remember to not talk too much about bz in this chat though

[wild mirage]

To each their own

[sudden lake]

I really like idea of seatruck, i would like to see something like this in subnautica 2, something bigger than seamoth, you can walk there, but isnt So big as cyclops, and you can attached many and many additional parts to it

[naive ibex]

if u guys search Subanutica on tiktok and scroll for a little bit I guarantee you'll find something stupid

[wild mirage]

It's tiktok..

[scenic oriole]

You open tiktok and are quaranteed to see something stupid (never done that though, but heard enough)

[naive ibex]

tiktok is a good platform it's just littered with little runts who don't even know what they speak about

"oh the prawn suit is slow!!"

🫩🫩

[wild mirage]

Maybe at some point it was good, now a large part of it is poop-posting, I say poop cuz Im not allowed to say the otherword, but same meaning

[wild mirage]

Clearly those individuals haven't harnessed the power of the grapple >:)

[wild mirage]

Same goes to insta gram, youtube shorts

[sudden lake]

I heard it has lots of bugs, Lore is generally not So well done, dialogs are bad made, they nerfed swimming and seaglide So map feels like its bigger, when its way smaller, less leviathans, smaller etc

[naive ibex]

games fun tho

[naive ibex]

exactly bro it's a quick demob

[sudden lake]

I think generally they hate it cuz it doesnt feel like continuation but a dlc

[naive ibex]

and everytime they say the cyclops is useless I get a brain tumor

[sudden lake]

But i feel like its cool concept

[wild mirage]

It's not meant to be a continuation, yeah

[scenic oriole]

This is basically why I tried to warn not talk too much about bz here...(rules don't allow bz spoilers in this channel even with spoiler tags)

[sudden lake]

?

What happened?

[wild mirage]

BZ spoilers arent allowed in this chat

[sudden lake]

But i did Put the spoiler tag

[naive ibex]

"void optic Leviathan" is the most annoying phrase on my soul

[wild mirage]

Still not allowed

[sudden lake]

I should delete it or what cuz i dont understand?

[wild mirage]

Belongs in #below-zero-chat

[scenic oriole]

Like I wrote, not allowed here even with spoiler tags

[wild mirage]

I'd just remove the spoiler, everything else can stay ig

[sudden lake]

Alr

[naive ibex]

holy brainrot

none of these guys have played Subanutica I can bet my life savings

[sudden lake]

Why do People So much mistake everything about gargantuan

[wild mirage]

You lost your life savings

Thank you for your bet, please come back soon

[naive ibex]

the biggest hostile leviathan is the sea dragon but no let's get some random trash mod and glaze it

[sudden lake]

Like often People say that it could grow up to 5000 meters cuz the skeleton is only juvenile one but it literally never says So anywhere 🙏

[naive ibex]

RoTA is the only mod with a big leviathan that is interesting

[sudden lake]

Biggest Alive

[wild mirage]

Wait arent there two skulls in the lost river? I thought one was adult the other was a juvie?

[sudden lake]

No

[scenic oriole]

@sudden lake The reasoning for no nz spoilers is that this channel potentially has players who know nothing about bz, but might play it later and some of them might want to play blind without being spoiled. People also have the habit of clicking spoiler tags. But all good👍

[naive ibex]

biggest alive is the same as hostile in this sense

[sudden lake]

Only one

[sudden lake]

Yeah alr i understand

[wild mirage]

I could swear I saw a mini garg skull..

[naive ibex]

biggest alive is the sea emperor

[sudden lake]

Cool, i dont like spoilers

[naive ibex]

might have been the sea drag skull

[wild mirage]

No, it was the garg skull, just smaller

long snout, long teeth

[naive ibex]

I seen someone say "how do you get oxygen in ur base" 🫩

[wild mirage]

it's close to the portal from PCF to the Lr

[wild mirage]

[scenic oriole]

I remember ||3: one in ghost forest, one in bone fields with the skeleton, and one near the laboratory cache (orange key). Though those might be from different creatures||

[sudden lake]

I was too small and my laptop was too Old to buy subnautica So i only watched and read about it and basically spoilered whole both games, idk if without knowing it i would like game So much but i would never wish anyone to get this game spoiled

[wild mirage]

Ah man, I thought it was a baby garg, it looks so similar.

[sudden lake]

I hope ill play fastly after release subnautica 2 and that i will lots of Time get shocked

[wild mirage]

honestly same, I spoilered myself before getting to play

[sudden lake]

They are from different creatures, im pretty sure

[real tide]

Guys its september u can remove the pride flag now😭 ❓

[naive ibex]

they'd rather Google for help instead of just playing the game

[naive ibex]

????

[scenic oriole]

Or they can keep it as long as they want🤷‍♂️

[naive ibex]

this is the one community where I doubt what you said will go lightly 😭

[real tide]

Bro its been 4 months they still got that lgbtq flag on the server profile picture

[scenic oriole]

Nothing stops them keeping it all year around🤷‍♂️

[naive ibex]

literally who cares

its not an issue brother 😭😭🫩

[real tide]

fr

but are they lazy or what man?!?!? :_

[scenic oriole]

Not lazy, just want to keep it

[pliant mesa]

I think the reefbacks should have the sea treaders young fenced in with poison anemones on their back like a picket fence and the treaders benefit from grazing on the sea grass that grows on their back but also the reefback and its ecosystem benefits from the treaders excretion that fertilizes the back of the reefback and their little thingy going on

[sudden lake]

Even tho i spoiled almost whole game, game is so well done that i still got surprised ||recently ive been to kharaa research facility, and outside it there was sea dragon skeleton with some "head injuries" , i thought its Just normal skeleton of leviathan, but then when i was swimming around in there i discovered data bank, which said that some big creature crashed into facility with big force, and i was shocked, cuz it turned out that it was that sea dragon, and it surprised me cuz i thought i know everything about game, but turns out theres So much more||

I also got pretty surprised to find ||skeleton of that bug fish inside facility, as i knew about gargantuan fossil and armored leviathan, but never heard about this one, yet it still looked cool and interesting||

[sudden lake]

I find playing game without any external help maybe a Little longer, boring and harder, but also at some point way funnier, even for someone like me who knew already So much about it it was cool to not know something and having to figure it out

[wild mirage]

Why you so pressed about a pfp

[pliant mesa]

That’s what I did my first play through on mobile I had heard about the game for many years but never looked into it just thought I’d try the mobile…now I have on steam and loving it even more

[wild mirage]

I feel this way exactly, despite knowing so much it still felt like a new experience

[sudden lake]

Is the game laggy on mobile or not really?

[pliant mesa]

It ran great on iPhone 11…except when first installed about three weeks where if by crash site it would freeze during auto saves/saves and almost quit trying to progress but was just a saving lunatic around that area so didn’t lose progress…then it updated or something and never had a problem like that ever again

[wild mirage]

From what ive heard if you got the right specs it runs fine

[sudden lake]

i recently bought both games and im firstly doing subnautica then second game, and im excited to play BZ cuz, in comparison to og, i dont know So much about it So i hope it will interestingly surprise me

And also thats why im so hyoed for subnautica 2, to have more Lore, more Secrets, more mysteries and more surprises

[sudden lake]

Oh

[wild mirage]

That's cool, I have yet to play bz but half of it has been spoiled for me anyway, on purpose tho so that's fine. Im hyped for sub 2 personally, I'll prolly watch playthroughs cuz im not sure if im willing to buy a whole gaming console for just that game

[sudden lake]

Cool, tho i would honestly not play it on mobile, not only because it would be probably way scarier with less visibality and worse control, but i dont think subnautica is game made to be played on Phone

[rotund folio]

is it true that subnautica was once released for free for a short time?

[sudden lake]

You dont have pc? Or does it come out way later on steam?

[wild mirage]

Agreed, its nice that its on mobile but I prefer console

[wild mirage]

Nope I use a Xbox, im not sure rn I might switch over to pc some time in the future but its expensive, maintenance and all that. Consoles just seem easier to keep around plus I got a Xbox one anyway. Its just I dont wanna get a series x just to play subnautica

[pliant mesa]

From first playing on mobile then to pc…it’s easy to understand your thoughts/concerns…but in my case it wasn’t the experience I had

[rotund folio]

also is it happening again sometime?

[wild mirage]

Idk but it had a 75 percent discount, a while ago. Not anymore

[nocturne ruin]

Guys weird question but do the fish in the creature containment lay eggs? i didn't add any eggs (except the stalker ones)

[rotund folio]

oh

[wild mirage]

If there are two of the same creatures they reproduce

[sudden lake]

Tho on pc you can do way more things but i understand

[wild mirage]

Idk what this applies to or is limited to though

[rotund folio]

wait so hypotthetically, I can mass produce cuddlfis?

[nocturne ruin]

I didn't know that , thanks

[wild mirage]

No, only 5 cuddlefish in game

[rotund folio]

noooooooooooooooooo

[wild mirage]

Yeah pc has a lot more options but Xbox is getting steam anyway later on

[sudden lake]

Like i generally wouldnt really like to play such advanced, with good Lore, advanced mechanics, advanced everything on mobile cuz i feel like i wouldnt feel that amazigness of what game on pc or console has

But i understand

[pliant mesa]

It just amazes me how advanced the mobile games have gotten so a good port I can appreciate and the true test of a game is not in its graphics or other stuff…for me, if the games core is good then it will be enjoyable no matter the format

[scenic oriole]

Cuddlefish is the exception and only creature which will not breed in alien containment

[long flame]

Blueprint

[long flame]

I can’t find mine

[stark plume]

looks good bro

[sudden lake]

holy, just finished whole degasi story and omg it's awesome

||Paul wasn't maybe the best person but damn his death was sad, and Bart's too, they had no reason to have such epic monologues in their last PDA entrys||

[supple knoll]

If it swims or looks like a plant it's scannable

[primal jolt]

if its low res its defo not scannable

[amber cairn]

That flag is a bit much to look at sometimes. It explodes out of everything else on my screen and I wish I had a way to change the icon to something more appropriate to the game with aquatic colors

[amber cairn]

Is there no cyclops in BZ?

replied to the wrong post

[wind bridge]

Yes it isnt in that game

[amber cairn]

I guess because a lot of BZ happens on land and ice

Even if it's not super practical, the cyclops is ultra cool. hearing it power up and lumber around. and it has good defenses

[wind bridge]

And the map is kinda cramped a lot of places couldnt fit a cyclops

[amber cairn]

yeah that makes sense

Plus some of ||the leviathans in BZ are smaller where they couldn't really threaten the cyclops too much.||

[supple knoll]

Cyclops flattens them

[amber cairn]

ez clap

I'd love to have a cyclops variant that has cyclops-sized prawn suit arm modules lmao

choke the reaper

[mellow gull]

hi

[sudden lake]

Hello

[obtuse jungle]

Does the game still prioritize power in the order a power supplier was built? For example, I built a solar panel and a bioreactor. Does it still pull from the solar panel first, and then the bioreactor?

[vast bridge]

Only when you build them.

After reload it isn't the same order, and never was.

[obtuse jungle]

Gotcha. Thanks!

[vast bridge]

Things behind the transmitters usually are last though.

https://youtu.be/yscDT2rZcek

First load the nuclear reactor is used, second load the bioreactor.

If you want to control it on PC you have mods. But usually it isn't a big deal.

[amber cairn]

Oh no. What can I do to make sure solar power is always prioritized before power suppliers that need to be manually refueled?

[vast bridge]

Use the mod I mentioned.

This https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1304 or https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/451 maybe.

[amber cairn]

Looks like I can't get that one through vortex? Is that correct?

Nevermind

[vast bridge]

I never really used mods so I couldn't advice you.

[twilit turtle]

i may or may not have made 250m of vertically stacked containment.

[amber cairn]

It was just not named what I expected, I got it through your link

[vast bridge]

I just know they exist.

[amber cairn]

Quartz is probably the most impacted resource in my game

[twilit turtle]

fr

[amber cairn]

all 3 of the grassy plateau biomes have been utterly looted

as well as the crash zone

i wish I could turn diamond into quartz because I have hundreds of useless diamonds

[pliant mesa]

Recycle some

[long flame]

titanium is prob my most impacted resource

[amber cairn]

i feel like wreck scraps near the aurora respawn...

[tawny tusk]

it's pretty plentiful on the walls of the 2 blood kelp zones

[amber cairn]

yeah as long as you arent scared as warpers

scared of*

[tawny tusk]

they leave you alone if you finish the game or are careful where you go in the early game

and the ampeels usually stick to the bottom

[sudden lake]

Could subnautica be categorised as Indie game? Cuz it was created by unknown worlds, which at the Time was pretty small and independent, right?

[long flame]

uhhhh yea but like, it’s tedious

[amber cairn]

The credits for SN have over 100 professional credits... that's not indie anymore

[sudden lake]

Maybe

[amber cairn]

Even just the UWE credits are dozens of people

[sudden lake]

Tho most of them were not as important i think

[amber cairn]

I don't think they'd like that idea lol

[sudden lake]

Maybe you're right maybe it is a Lil too big

Tho it was nowhere near big corporations, and it was independent

[sudden lake]

I mean like, i think that a lot of People did some smaller roles, of course without hating on anyone

[amber cairn]

Moby doesn't have the credits for Natural Selection 1. If you can find those, that is what I'd qualify as indie

[sudden lake]

Isnt like natural selection 1 a mod to half life 2? I dont think a mod could be considered a game

[amber cairn]

to half-life 1, yeah

regardless, it did have credits

[sudden lake]

Yeah tho i wouldnt call it a game, every modification can have and will probably have Credits, but its an addition to other game, not fully independent project

[pliant mesa]

2 w/seamoth💡

[amber cairn]

I would typically agree for things like sven coop and all but a total conversion is more or less its own game with a lot of assets and maps and programming and testing going into it so it's definitely a grey area

[sudden lake]

Yeah i know i understand, but from technical point of view you couldnt call it a game cuz its only a modification, but i understand what you're trying to say

[amber cairn]

I am sad NS2 didn't really take off, but I think some huge core decisions in its design departed from what made NS1 popular and that would be the expected outcome :\

[naive ibex]

its to show support brotha your eyes will be fine

[glossy sun]

Did yall know there was a reaper near where mushroom forest meets the bulb zone

[glossy sun]

I got terrified when I went on a lithium run and turned around to see one swim away

How deep do I need to put the mvb to craft the ||cyclops||

Got it

[glossy sun]

What is the ||crag field||

I just witnessed a solar eclipse, it was sick

I didn't know subnautica had them

[azure hare]

is this the void

Ican't see the ground

[glossy sun]

Save,then jump in

Since you don't have a sonar

@azure hare was it

[azure hare]

I have sonar

I have alr been to the void it gave me no warning

I don’t see a bottom

All I see is terrain around it

[glossy sun]

Then yes it is

If there is nothing around it, since all holes are small enough for sonar to see

Which direction is the ||enforcement platform||

[tawny tusk]

press f1 on your keyboard

[glossy sun]

I may or may not have beached my seamoth at the ||enforcement platform||

[tawny tusk]

you got a propulsion cannon on you?

[glossy sun]

Yea

[tawny tusk]

grab a nearby object and use it to shove the seamoth back into the water

[glossy sun]

K

[tawny tusk]

iirc the propulsion cannon can't directly pick up the seamoth

[glossy sun]

Once I get the stuff I came for

[tawny tusk]

yeah

lots of good lithium, diamonds and gold there

as well as the main feature

[glossy sun]

That's why in here, for diamonds

Lithium I goto mushroom forests

Gold I get from sandstone

[tawny tusk]

i typically grab it from jellyshroom caves once i get the prawn

[glossy sun]

I don't want to use my prawn suit in places hard to escape until i get the grapple arm

[tawny tusk]

true

you can grab it at one of the grand reef wrecks bordering kelp forest

[glossy sun]

That's where I found it, and I was glad cause I went hunting in the dunes and found a wreck WITH 10 GOSH DARN DRILL ARM FRAGMENTS

Seamoth is free

[steel prairie]

To those who may or not know, there is a second portal in the Sea Emperor eclosure

I just found out

The portal is on the opposite end of the enclosure of the main one

[odd dove]

If you guys have ||arms mod|| for seamoth, if will be easier.

[amber cairn]

Good old Sammy

[scenic oriole]

It works sometimes (I've done it), not sure why not always🤷‍♂️

[heady urchin]

Oh no

[wild mirage]

Oh yes

[pliant mesa]

do they have a specific release date for sub 2 yet? i wanna play it blind so im gunna remove myself from this discord for a bit when it drops

[sudden lake]

Not really

Only early access set to 2026

They said early access could take somewhere around 2 to 3 years

So 2027 i think the fastest

[pliant mesa]

oh okay...well i say blind but i watched the game teaser or whatever you call it so blind except for that and knowing it will be coop

[amber cairn]

lifepod 5, you're coming with me...

[pliant mesa]

that like gta6 wait time....sigh

[sudden lake]

Yeah tho its really good and big game and i think they only started to work on it somewhere after bz So like 2021/2022

Idk maybe they could've anounced it a bit later

[pliant mesa]

how so many quick select slots..i have like 4 or sum

[sudden lake]

Everyone'S Hyper but still we have to wait few years

[pliant mesa]

yea well when they release gameplay teaser of course ppl hyped

[scenic oriole]

Modded game

[pliant mesa]

whats the coolest mod for this game?

[gusty mirage]

Time to make the greatest and hardest achievement ever

Trapping 3 reapers in an enclosure

Together

Yes I want pet leviathans so their going in there

First I gotta build the massive enclosure 🥀

[pliant mesa]

land leviathan in numba 2 i wonder

[odd dove]

Crash Zone?

[gusty mirage]

Yes

[pliant mesa]

will they reproduce like they do in alien containment i wonder

[wild mirage]

No

[pliant mesa]

how will you seal it in time...make a maze that is ez for them to enter but hard to get out and build a wall in time it takes them to escape?

[pliant mesa]

would be cool if we could somehow find leviathan eggs and it was like a boss fight each time with momma levi to obtain them

[wild mirage]

That's the thing subnautica isnt a game that takes on the concept of a boss fight

Us it a cool concept? Yeah. But wouldn't fit right in the sn universe if that makes sense

[sudden lake]

It would fit more if you would have to sneak in there to steal eggs

[pliant mesa]

okay okay a boss evade then and maybe only one of them or a couple in the world where you have to know the leviathan schedule like clockwork and hit the one window you have to get out or just avoid it seeing you taking its babies...no fight just being unseen which is already what i try to do when i see leviathans in the game

[wild mirage]

Perhaps

Its an interesting idea, though I doubt it'll happen

[pliant mesa]

end game scenario for sub 3...the embryo contains a chemical compound that will save earth or everyone aboard the ship as a vaccine or whatever and its only found in the egg so have to get a sample before escape the planet

betting $20 this will be sub 3 end game so who wants $20 cause that definitely wont be the end game scenario to sub3

[sudden lake]

Maybe you would have to distract leviathans with decoys to steal eggs?

[pliant mesa]

ahaaa i always imagine the big ole reaper turning into a big baby with a bonnet on its head and a rattle looking at the decoy like a wind up toy a kid would play with while im escaping in my cyclops

[amber cairn]

It's a mod called:

[pliant mesa]

itd be nice to always have a dedicated flare slot...i approve this mod

wish it were easier to ignite a flare and keep holding it without having to throw it and pick it back up tho

[amber cairn]

SN1 would really benefit from a few UI devs and programmers given 2 weeks to spend on base game QOL improvements, some of them based on popular mods

some people will never screw around with mods and would really love having 10 quickbar slots, for example

[pliant mesa]

right keep the limited slots to hardcore mode or something

[odd dove]

Need underwater engine backpack mod, and then we can dual-wield lol

[gusty mirage]

I'm not even sure but I'll try

[trim girder]

🐧

[carmine whale]

hilo. I’ve got 40 mins on the game. Just wondering, am I supposed to enter the ship that crashed

[sudden lake]

Hi, did it explode already?

[trim girder]

I dont play subnautica but i joined this server

[carmine whale]

I don’t think so

[sudden lake]

Then no cuz its all radiated

And you would die

After some Time its should explode and you should get new scheme tho im aint gonna spoil anything

Already did but ehh

[carmine whale]

alrr

dude it’s either I’m weird but why are the clouds on the water

[sudden lake]

? Maybe send pic of what you're saying on #memes-and-media

[carmine whale]

or it’s prob just the alien planet world ecosystem

[carmine whale]

mhm

I’ll log off for today cuz it’s late

[sudden lake]

Ok

[wild mirage]

You can send the pic here too

[amber cairn]

Anyone familiar with the map mod understand why I don't reveal the map in areas that I pass through? (Blood Kelp and Sparse Reef in particular)

[wild mirage]

As long as its sn related

[amber cairn]

Also I have never killed a warper, no matter how aggressively I've attacked and chased them... AND they respawn

[odd dove]

Once you reach almost mid-end, you might gain new understanding about them.

[fluid jackal]

Yea they're practically cyborgs from what I've seen when people play Subnautica on YT

[acoustic osprey]

||Cuz you cannot get rid of them||

[clever cloak]

It's 7:00

[sudden lake]

Oh right i forgor

[amber cairn]

I have ||been into the disease research facility so I understand them, but I am not able to cure myself just yet||

I just got the ||orange tablet so I am packing up some supplies to go to lost river and use it to get into one of the caches||

[odd dove]

You need to go deeper, to the place of fiery water....

Why this is getting so poetic thingy?

[lusty chasm]

Is this Chat still alive

[amber cairn]

1. Attach swim charge fins to Seamoth
   ---> Infinite seamoth battery

[wild mirage]

On life support

[amber cairn]

I am at the edge of the crash zone in the grassy plateaus, and I keep hitting "bad terrain" where I reach collision before I reach the wall (for example I can't get to these mushrooms). Does anyone else ever encounter this problem?

Also see a lot lot lot of "resources inside the wall" on my scanner like the one you see there

That spot is in the southeastern grassy plateaus looking southeast toward crash zone.

[lusty chasm]

Yeah I See that

[wild mirage]

Yes you do

[lusty chasm]

yes

[wild mirage]

Mhm

[lusty chasm]

Indeed

[wild mirage]

Of course

[amber cairn]

Scumbag Alterra corp: allmost all blueprints have rounded walls and baseboards--makes all lockers have square backs :3

So does Metal Salvage actually respawn or is that just an old mariner's tale?

[wind bridge]

It doesnt respawn I think

[scenic oriole]

Resources down respawn at all. Some creatures respawn, but not all. And some resources are generated infinitely.

[amber cairn]

I saw someone in here insinuating that more scrap fell from orbit around the aurora periodically. :P

[scenic oriole]

But counting metal salvage, limestone outcrops and drillable nodes, there is around 20k titanium in the map...

[amber cairn]

yeah, someone else posted a count of everything in the map. there was a whole lot

even if you scan and purposely try to get all the metal scrap, it seems like there is endless amounts

[scenic oriole]

Not sure if the count also includes extra titanium for scanning already known tech

[amber cairn]

it probably shouldn't include that because those can be deleted if scanned when your inv is full

[scenic oriole]

If you scan known tech with full inventory, the titanium is left floating on the map, it's not deleted. But anyways that would be difficult to estimate, because if you load an area the first time with already knowing tech for possible fragments in the biome, those fragments are not generated at all. So depending if you explore a lot before scanning fragments you have more 'bonus titanium' available🤷‍♂️

[vast bridge]

I didn't count those of course.

[scenic oriole]

Actually how difficult would that even be? Is there a set amount of fragments of the same type in each save? For example is there always same amount of laser cutter fragments on the map?

[vast bridge]

Everything is an average because it's a normal distribution.

And as you mentioned the game won't spawn fragments if you already know the technology.

[scenic oriole]

Still curious about the normal distribution: is there still a limit for minimum amount of fragments, or is it just assumed that the probability of spawning too few fragments to unlock the tech is small enough to be effectively zero?

[vast bridge]

The latter.

The game doesn't care about what was previously spawned.

[scenic oriole]

So theoretically you could be unlucky and have only 2 laser cutter fragments on slots which are not behind a laser cutter door.

[vast bridge]

Yes but it's virtually impossible because there are many slots.

In BZ this is actually possible with the storage module.

[raven trail]

The odds of a fish hitting an airplane are low but never zero

[vast bridge]

There are not enough slots to prevent zero.

[scenic oriole]

Yeah, I've seen the slot maps

[scenic oriole]

This reminds me of megashark trailer...

[vast bridge]

I mean, if you go that way it's technically possible for the entropy to go back to the state where your solution isn't diluted into the water.

But it never happens.

[scenic oriole]

Off-topic, but a physicist joke from The Big Bang Theory:
A physicist goes to a bar every night and orders two drinks; one for himself and one on the empty seat next to him. After a couple weeks the bartender asks about the drink for the empty seat. The physicist explains the it's theoretically possible for atoms to rearrange into a beatiful woman who would fall in love with him. The bartender points to the back of bar "There are lots of women back there. You could go talk to them and maybe one will fall in love with you." The physicist replied "Ueah, what are the odds of that happening?"

[orchid cove]

am i allowed to promote my subnautica rpg server here or no

[sudden lake]

I Just Put myself through HELL for like 30 MINUTES Just to scan freaking adult ghost leviathan 😭

At least now im proud from myself

[scenic oriole]

Read rule #5 (I interpret as 'no')

[orchid cove]

k

[celest swift]

dont like subnautica afterr they delayed it for more proffit

some might say im going to crackit

[gusty mirage]

Trapping 3 reapers in one enclosure is a pain..

Trapped 1 easy but putting another one in is hard and it's just the 2nd one too

[jolly wagon]

How can I let the marketing team know I want a hover fish plushie, and I want an army of them?

[obtuse jungle]

Agree! Peeper, fine. Reaper, don’t see it as cuddly but okay. Bladderfish? Who saw those in-game and said “I want to hug one of those?” Hoverfish would have been 100 times better.

[amber cairn]

Weird. Does it appear at the player's location rather than the location of the fragment you scanned? I have noticed sometimes there are two titanium chunks where I scanned something, but usually not

[amber cairn]

#memes-and-media message

I just learned that if you hand-feed a peeper to a stalker, it will fetch scrap for you

Confirmed 4546 Doggos

The last thing every sandshark sees is Dark Ryley's evil red eyes behind the seamoth canopy

[real swallow]

Crabsquids are kill on sight for me. Not because they are particularly bothersome, but because my inner helldiver comes out to hate squids.

[amber cairn]

Yup and if you turn off the headlights, 4-6 seamoth rams will croak them

do you ever find stalker teeth and metal scrap deep under the terrain? is that a common thing

[vast bridge]

It's a common problem yes.

[amber cairn]

ty for confirming

[heavy basalt]

God damn

.. do I get the Peeper Plush from YouTooz

Or do I keep mine

[obtuse jungle]

Just one piece of scrap, or repeatedly?

[obtuse jungle]

I always saw them as cats, really, because of how they’ll happily play with most of the stuff you don’t want them to: cameras, waterproof containers, beacons, etc and how they can be mostly standoffish but will occasionally bite you for no reason.

[amber cairn]

I've unfortunately had that experience with other people's dogs several times

[amber cairn]

Not sure, it's mentioned on the wiki

[scenic oriole]

They don't. Feeding peepers makes them not attack you for a while. Stalkers naturally pick up metal scrap and drop them in specific spots. You just happened to be near the spot that stalker likes to drop it's precious shiny treasures

[minor river]

Why’s there people saying krafton give them a bonus and somthing like that under the announcement video comment section

[burnt relic]

its a long story just look it up on tiktok

[vale frigate]

why the mods for subnautica stopped working for me

[crimson wave]

I just finished the game and got to the end after 14 hours og playtime i wil say this game and the ending is just fire

[gray hedge]

Why did foxnautica get banned?

[scenic oriole]

The game got update about a month ago. You need to either select 2023 branch from betas or download updated mods (if they have been updated to work with the 2025 patch)

[subtle bronze]

Prolly don’t need to worry about it

[vale frigate]

I did that but it still doesnt work

The mods ofc

[scenic oriole]

Maybe try asking in the modding server, link in #subnautica-modding

[amber cairn]

the game got an update that makes some of the old mod frameworks obsolete. each mod has to be updated individually to use the new ones

Only a few of the mods I've tried worked - like the extra hotbars, extra slots for vehicles, the map mod, see the contents of lockers, etc

If you sort mods on nexus by last updated, the newer, the better

[terse wraith]

Why did foxnautica get banned

[amber cairn]

I feel like that is not a subnautica chat related question

[vale frigate]

Too bad i can’t try out the combination of deathrun and realistic recipes for cc3

[amber cairn]

"sup"

[terse wraith]

Just answer the question and ill be out of here

[tulip stratus]

We all hate sandsharks fr fr 🙏

[terse wraith]

Rahhh

Bonesharks worse

[amber cairn]

I don't know who that is,
I am not part of the mod team,
My reply is meant to inform you there's a high chance they won't answer you and have "none of your business" reply in their mind,
And if you keep asking there's a good chance you'll get muted or banned as well

[terse wraith]

Ok smart reply

[amber cairn]

I see - you're right. It spawns wherever Ryley was floating whenever the scan completed, so not necessarily inside the box where the fragment was.

[glossy sun]

How do I enter ||lost river||

And what's the best place to find ||ruby's||

[acoustic osprey]

Did you find any ||Degasi bases||

[glossy sun]

Yes, that's how I got ||alien containment unit||

[acoustic osprey]

||So you found the one on 500m depth?||

[glossy sun]

Yes

Also, did you know this game could have a solar eclipse

[acoustic osprey]

||If you continue going north from it, you will enter the Lost River||

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[acoustic osprey]

Check the deeper parts of sparse reef

[harsh bear]

They aren’t all that uncommon

[lean temple]

Wait y’all had to delay the game right

Because of legal reasons

[glossy sun]

That's to the sw correct?

[sudden lake]

They didnt really delay it cuz of legal reasons

And only early access was delayed, about full Version we dont know

[faint oyster]

Ye

[acoustic osprey]

Yea, life pod 19 biome

[amber cairn]

The aurora wreck is much taller than it looks.

You can see to the farclip plane from here. Or whatever that is

[lone grotto]

When does subnautica 2 release

[kind sky]

sometime in 2026
also #subnautica-2-chat

[clever barn]

did anyone beside me got to the back of the aurora without being spoiled?

i mean, it was my first walkthrough and it just looked like a good place to go and loot for items

since some were close to it at the front

[acoustic osprey]

I was aware of the danger but still went there during my first playthrough to find blueprints and got jumpscared from behind

[amber cairn]

i got to recognize the "i'm nearby" roaring they do when I was looking for the front entrance

[clever barn]

i played subnautica with 0 spoilers lol

i think all i knew was what the reaper looked like

[amber cairn]

yeah it's super iconic so i knew what it looked like even though I didn't know it was from this game lol

[rancid laurel]

Hello

omg nova lox bagel sandwich with olives, tomato, red onion, cream cheese. best food to eat at 750+m depth

[glossy sun]

What biomes have silver deposits

[amber cairn]

I saw some in dunes

assuming you mean the big ones you can drill

[glossy sun]

Yep

Why is it always dunes

[amber cairn]

there are at least a couple I could get without aggroing big boi

BUT tons of warpers near them

[glossy sun]

The worst part is, ||prawn suit doesn't get a sonar upgrade||

[steep sleet]

Free Palestine

[amber cairn]

Where? how do I get mine

[pliant mesa]

UN headquarters

[amber cairn]

nuts, they're asking for billions of dollars as usual

[short void]

ahh yes, my favorite

[glossy sun]

Are there ||Crab squids|| in the ||grand reef|| biome

[long flame]

yes

[glossy sun]

K, so if going in there leave seamoth outside, good to know

[long flame]

lmao

[glossy sun]

Seamoth is maxed out

[amber cairn]

yeah and they will attack it even if the lights are off and you're not in it

[chrome arrow]

gonna be so real, I installed the return of the ancients mod a few days before they updated the game and the mod no longer works 😞

[amber cairn]

It's been a long climb but another 30-40 titanium and I'll be on top of the port side engine nacelle

[glossy sun]

Are there ||Crab squids|| in the ||bulb zone||

[amber cairn]

...Huh

Ryley HATES walking on top of the Aurora

I'm honestly surprised it has collision up there

I estimate 195.2 million units of titanium were used to build this ship

Oof I fell off and I didn't even die

I guess fall damage is capped at 50%

[glossy sun]

Not here

Dont post it here

[long flame]

no

[glossy sun]

Good

[runic crescent]

😭😭😭😭

[lusty thorn]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[glossy sun]

Is the ||torpedo arm|| any good as long as you don't have ||drill arm or grapple arm|| that can go there instead?

Are there ||Crab squids|| at the ||floating islands||

[shut pike]

https://youtube.com/shorts/7rqFRwZyJKw?si=sETjlG6qbWzrdAQ2

Oh cool a short I wonder what the comments sa- it's the fans complaining about the bonus isn't it

[long flame]

no

bro do u rlly not like ||crabsquids||

[long flame]

i dont use torpedo arm. personally i feel like its kinda useless unless u wanna conquer ur fears and slay some good ol ghosties and repreps

[glossy sun]

Not at all

They destroyed nekton

My first seamoth

[amber cairn]

The torpedoes fly like a drunk grandma and do about as much damage as a basket full of cooked spaghetti

[amber cairn]

what bonus are people talking about

[wild mirage]

The bonus that the people workin on sn2 were supposed to get (before the execs got fired and the game was delayed to 2026) The devs are still getting their bonus as it's been said the bonus deadline was extended to 2026. Some people are on outdated information. This is also the wrong channel to talk about it, so that's all I'll say
Note: 90 percent of the first bonus was to go to the execs.

[amber cairn]

oh, people are concerning themselves with the pay structure of the company that makes the game, hmm seems nosy as hell

[wild mirage]

Internet being the internet, as usual

Certainly they've got more pressing issues to attend to

[amber cairn]

The ascent continues

[twilit turtle]

bro did it the hard way

holy

[amber cairn]

Aurora Heights cocktail garden is now online

If you like standing on a platform atop a burning exploded spaceship wreck, this bud's for you

[azure hare]

chief

I swear

why would a sea dragon do this to me

i did not deserve this

[amber cairn]

should spoiler some of that XD

tadah. you can hardly build anything on the outside besides grow beds. so I guess later I'll add more platforms and put large rooms on them or something and have a discotheque

I wish the feet connected to the actual hull a bit better, it's maximum jank

[unreal grotto]

What the hell am I looking at

[median valve]

Are the swim charge fins just as fast as the ultra glide fins? Or do you sacrifice speed for the tool charging function?

[amber cairn]

I made a series of tubes connecting from the ocean floor up to the top of the aurora's engine nacelles to build a base there

From the water surface it looks like this

[sudden lake]

They are way slower tho imo a lot better

[amber cairn]

this is survival mode fyi

The swim charge fins are only good if you use a sea glide. Otherwise they are so slow you'll want to die

While using them, your sea glide has infinite energy

[sudden lake]

Yeah, i use them cuz i always have seaglide and its way easier and better when you dont have to have in inventory any batteries, and can Just refill them with swimming

It annoys me how they're pretty slow, but i think it's Worth it

[amber cairn]

I'm now using the mod that lets me add many upgrade modules to the sea moth, so I can bring batteries OR i can put the sea glide inside it (or cram extra loot into it). I kept leaving the sea glide at home to save 6 inventory slots. I hate the inventory management aspect in most open world games (skyrim, etc.) because it just results in me going back to base more often, or leaving loot behind, which I don't always love

[sudden lake]

They could add in sn 2 special Gun, which would be able to teleport items in set place

It could do mess but could help a lot

[amber cairn]

I just want the game to respect my time. if the game is letting me trade time for a certain result, I appreciate when they give an alternative that saves me some of that time that I can earn at some point

i.e. "going back to base every time I loot 26 items"

reeeeeeeee

[wild mirage]

Lmao

[odd dove]

How?

[rustic shadow]

wait is subnautica 2 fully realeasing in 2026 or just the early access?

[amber cairn]

#subnautica-2-chat

[ornate pivot]

Early Access

[scenic oriole]

Swim charge fins ar as fast as no fins at all. However, using seaglide practically negates other speed buffs/penalties, so with seaglide your fins don't really affect your speed anyway

[azure hare]

sea dragon tried to bite the prawn suit and smacked it inside the alien box

[odd dove]

So you were thrown? It spit you away?

[wild mirage]

It b-slapped him into the alien box

[primal jolt]

Hell yeah

[azure hare]

It slapped me into the alien box

[obtuse jungle]

My problem with Subnautica: I just don’t like the Big rooms. But I love the large Alien Containment Units you can put in them. What to do, what to do…

[primal jolt]

Elaborate

Also that's not really a problem, more like an opinion isnt it

[wild mirage]

"my problem"

[odd dove]

Slap it bacc, get your revenge arc.

[primal jolt]

Yes, you're right

[wild mirage]

It is indeed an opinion

[obtuse jungle]

I mean, more of a joking frame.

I keep trying to build the big rooms, and then I wind up annoyed with them because they’re ^too^ big.

I prefer the look of the multipurpose room.

But I really like the huge ACU. And it’s nice to have more space around than the multipurpose room gives.

So it’s just a nitpicky little thing for me.

[odd dove]

You can fill your large room with 2 ACU or 1 ACU 1 Bioreactor, and get some lantern plants for deco and fuel. Also glass tables, some coffee machines, snacks etc.

I wish we have juicer.

[obtuse jungle]

I wish we had the medium-sized room. It’s all over BZ, but UW never made it a buildable option. Oh well.

[scenic oriole]

(1 acu and 2 bioreactors fit too, and still can fit growbeds)

[amber cairn]

It's nice to have an ACU next to a bioreactor so you can shoulder tackle some of your excess Stalkers from the ACU into the BR

[wary kettle]

Where do I find crystal sulfur

[scenic oriole]

If you use acu to produce biofuel, just use oculi...

[scenic oriole]

In lost river

[amber cairn]

Yeah, Oculi is definitely the ticket

I have to breed stalkers for teeth, though, and it's hard to limit how many I end up with

I do wish the feed of oculus to bioreactor could be automated without a mod

[scenic oriole]

Technically one stalker can get you as many teeth as you want: there's no limit how many it can drop...

[sudden lake]

Cuddlefish egg

[amber cairn]

That's so evil. I love it

Alas, one cannot breed cuddlefish

So you only get 3-5 eggs

[subtle meadow]

Man of culture i see

[scenic oriole]

Well you don't need acu for using those as biofuel🤷‍♂️

[scenic oriole]

5 + any you find from time capsules

[quasi jewel]

Does anyone know where I report bugs and help me with fixing it?

[amber cairn]

shout into the darkness? it might work :o

[coral canyon]

hey, i have installed nitrox with my friend but when he launch the server i cant join him

[amber cairn]

there is a discord for mod support

#subnautica-modding has the info

[quasi jewel]

like deadass where can I find support, cause I've tried everything to fix my game

[amber cairn]

#🐞bug-smash maybe?

[shrewd bobcat]

im pretty new to the game and I now see I really need a habitat to progress anywhere, where should I build it?

[amber cairn]

#🔧sn1-bz-tech-support too

[quasi jewel]

Is there no like ticket place?

[amber cairn]

there's a lot of great places. i have a handful across the grassy plateaus, i try to put them about 500m away from each other in a honeycome pattern

[shrewd bobcat]

damn that many? aren't they pretty resource heavy?

[amber cairn]

you could put one in the edge of the crash zone or mountains, so you can look at the sea reapers from safety

[amber cairn]

yeah but the game gives you plenty

[shrewd bobcat]

idk I've been having a storage problem

like I can't bring too much with me and what I do have I don't have enough storage for

[amber cairn]

my current bases are at these green circles

[shrewd bobcat]

I should probably make those floating storage thingys

[amber cairn]

yeah, you can build standing lockers on the cyclops to help moving things around, and the sea moth can hold up to 64 items in 4 storage lockers. otherwise you just gotta make trips

or harvest local resources when building a new base

[shrewd bobcat]

wait how can a seamoth hold items I don't see any storage on it and I can't make a storage module for it

atleast not yet

[amber cairn]

if i can be honest, those things are not helpful, and monsters will steal them too lol

[shrewd bobcat]

damn

[amber cairn]

there is a seamoth storage module you can find a blueprint for. its 3 titanium 1 lithium

[shrewd bobcat]

where can i find the blueprint?

[amber cairn]

i don't remember alas. probably in a wreck that you'll have to welder into

[shrewd bobcat]

also I'd need a modification station which is back to the same problem

[amber cairn]

no, the seamoth storage is made in the vehicle bay which is built in a moonpool

[sudden lake]

that's what i'm saying, most efficient

[shrewd bobcat]

ima just run around collect some resources to build a habitat atleast the first one

[shrewd bobcat]

again same problem, i dont think I have the blueprint for that yet

[amber cairn]

yup. a couple cross tubes with lockers and a fabricator is all you really need initially

most blueprints from wrecks and lifepods and PDAs and such

[shrewd bobcat]

yep I don't have it I have 1/2 for it

[sudden lake]

that's why sn 2 needs some cloning machine so i'll be able to change more of those poor livings to make myself a coffee which gives me like 3 to H2O

[amber cairn]

sashimi!

[crisp cedar]

bruh

anyone has any idea why can't i repair the hull breach on my cyclops?

[shrewd bobcat]

how do I get oxygen into my habitat

[crisp cedar]

either with air pump and pipes or you build some kind of power palnt (bioreactor, nuclear reactor, solar panels, or thermal palnt)

[shrewd bobcat]

oh a solar panel just works

[brisk tiger]

What is going on with the Reapers not attacking the Cyclops and instead just push it around?

[crisp cedar]

lucky you

i can't reapir the hull breach

[brisk tiger]

See more and more Youtubers and streamers having this happen to them.

[vast bridge]

The Cyclops is too strong.

[crisp cedar]

wdym

[lone grotto]

Power ir

[shrewd bobcat]

how do I charge power cells?

they don't seem to go into battery chargers

[lone grotto]

You need a power cell charger

[vast bridge]

Leviathans have a difficult time hurting the Cyclops since the 2.0 update. Unless you go in the direction of their mouth.

[shrewd bobcat]

which is something that i dont have

[lone grotto]

They are found in wreckage

Go find it

[vast bridge]

Docked vehicles are recharged. Moonpool / Cyclops.

As well.

[crisp cedar]

then you can't

[inner yarrow]

i came here literally JUST to show off the fact i got my first ever cyclops! Im so happy

here it is, next to my base

[shrewd bobcat]

which biome is the best for finding wreckage?

[twilit turtle]

like scrap?

or actual wrecks?

[shrewd bobcat]

wrecks

for some good stuff

[twilit turtle]

they're pretty evenly distributed across the map

but kelp forest and grassy plateaus are probably your best bet

but that's probably just because they compose most of the central map area

[nova burrow]

Around the floating islands and grand reef there’s quite a few

[twilit turtle]

wut

there's only two wrecks in that whole area

that mostly has abandoned bases, not wrecks

[crisp cedar]

what the

[twilit turtle]

oh.

attacked or just cyclops jank?

[crisp cedar]

latter

i was probly lagging, and something spawned into the cyclops

and i got thrown out of it

my first time in the lost river

[twilit turtle]

ah

we do love some collision oopsies

[vast bridge]

There is a deadly tree.

[crisp cedar]

i had another incident with seamoth

i was just going somewehre minding my own business, and a mountain spawned into the seamoth

i was stuck inside it

[crisp cedar]

oof

[cloud cloak]

Does this game have a switch 2 remaster?

[crisp cedar]

no

[shrewd bobcat]

where can I find shale outcrops the easiest?

[primal jolt]

Jellyshroom caves, mountain island

The latter is the best way in my opinion

[shrewd bobcat]

which direction do i go in from the pod?

i have a compass

[primal jolt]

So when you're on the surface there should be two very prominent clouds, one to the south and the other to the north, go to the north one and you'll find the island

Clouds that are kinda on the sealevel

[shrewd bobcat]

this one?

[primal jolt]

And watch out for some roars and large creatures

[primal jolt]

Yes

[shrewd bobcat]

i already tried going in another direction and met 2 reapers and no shale outcrops

very fun

[primal jolt]

No but just dont go to the east side of the island and you will be fine

[shrewd bobcat]

i just need lithium man

[primal jolt]

Dude that island is full to the brim with lithium

And shale

[shrewd bobcat]

at what sealevel near the island is it?

[primal jolt]

The lithium is on the island

In its caves

[shrewd bobcat]

dont i need a prone suit to mine it?

[primal jolt]

No no there are small nodes that you can grab by hand

Also prawn*

[shrewd bobcat]

oh wow there really are small nodes here

[primal jolt]

Just remember to stay on the west side of the island if you're in the water

Lmaooo

[shrewd bobcat]

very much related to subnautica

[crisp cedar]

sry wrong chat

[shrewd bobcat]

is there a way to connect stuff vertically in a habitat? the vertical connector doesn't seem to create any sort of ladfder

nvm

ladder

[crisp cedar]

just put a ladder in it

[shrewd bobcat]

finally a moonpool

[crisp cedar]

it's that complicated

[shrewd bobcat]

wait how do I actually upgrade vehicles I got the upgrade module

all I can do is change color

[primal jolt]

Turn around

It has a fabricator

[shrewd bobcat]

oh it has a fabricator

[primal jolt]

Yup yup yup

[shrewd bobcat]

what does the sonar do?

[primal jolt]

It shows you the terrain in red lines, man im terrible at explaining but it allows you to see through the fog basically, it scans the terrain

[shrewd bobcat]

that's cool

[primal jolt]

Im so rusty

[wide cliff]

sonar's rlly good in dark parts of the map to see leviathans and the terrain

[shrewd bobcat]

well I need magnetite

[primal jolt]

Its quite simple to get actually, just jellyshroom caves - located somewhere around lifepod 17

[shrewd bobcat]

yeah ima dip for now

it's kinda late and I need to wake up early tomorrow

gn or day yall

[primal jolt]

See ya

[drowsy cove]

how the pda turns on ?

[primal jolt]

Tab key

[drowsy cove]

how does it turn on in the game story without it having a battery

[obtuse jungle]

Piezoelectricity. So all the shaking and tumbling from the initial crash charged it up enough for the whole game.

[fringe blade]

idk if there's a lore explanation but ig it could run off of an RTG (radioactive thermoelectric generator), they can make power for a very long time and don't need charging

[obtuse jungle]

Its why, in the later game, if you notice that it hasn’t updated or said anything in a while, you need to go get smacked around by a Reaper for a little while, and that’ll charge it back up again.

[fringe blade]

lmao nice

[obtuse jungle]

(None of that is true, I’m only joking.)

[drowsy cove]

there is no explanation in the lore ?

[fringe blade]

not that I'm aware of

[obtuse jungle]

To be serious, I always assumed they had charge racks, like for school laptops. You’d just grab one off the rack, log in, and then it would sync with your data. And since displaying info takes little power, it doesn’t need to charge again. But that’s all head-canon.

[primal jolt]

It just has a water powered battery

[fringe blade]

fair

my headcanon is the RTG, but that's because it's somewhat close to possible with modern tech

we've been using RTGs for ages, the struggle is miniaturizing them

[drowsy cove]

If it's water powered, how does it turn on when you're in the life pod ?

[primal jolt]

It had battery left

[drowsy cove]

ok

[primal jolt]

Also emergency mode may use a spare emergency mini battery inside to boot it up incase there is no battery left

[sudden lake]

Just entered lava zone for first Time 🥰 somehow didnt get attacked by sea dragon but damn, it was intimidating

[primal jolt]

Its roars are the worst

[sudden lake]

Yeah 😭 it was So chill, never attacked me, i was even close but behind some rocks and he was alr about that, but when i heard roars i thought he was right behind me

[primal jolt]

The moment when you realize its behind you only after it spits out lava and obliterates your prawn

[sudden lake]

I might be very basic, but think it might be my favorite leviathan, not only through size but i Just very much like its design, and fact that it loves there, on the bottom, in dangerous lava zone, basically ruling them, looking scary and intimidating through that fog

And those tenticles Look very nice

[primal jolt]

My fav gotta be the sea treader or ghostie

[orchid cove]

hi everyone

[primal jolt]

Howdy

[drowsy cove]

How does the character store the PDA? Does the screen retract or something ?

[obtuse jungle]

Sea Treader for sheer usefulness, but I find the reefback’s calls very soothing.

[pliant mesa]

selam

[orchid cove]

i wish i could advertise a subnautica related server here

[primal jolt]

Idk they slide it into their brain /j

[primal jolt]

I find the sea treader noises cool

[sudden lake]

Rn im playing sn for first Time, i liked or even loved it for long Time but never had good enough leptop to play it. Even though i know many things about it, i most if them forgot and didnt know, and im Just mad at me when i do such stupid mistakes. Cuz what im Talking about, is i thought that i already have first level of prawn depth perk, and i need kyanit for second, tho only when i did find the kyanit, i realised ive never had the first level of perk

And it only needs like Ruby, nickel and plasteel

But i didnt know that and i decided to go there not in prawn suit but in whole aah cyclops 😭

[drowsy cove]

maybe in subnautica 2 in multiplayer there will be an answer

[obtuse jungle]

Frustrating. I’m playing with the Unknown Names mod, which hides the blueprints until you’ve scanned all the materials it requires. And frequently I’ll be thinking “I should have this one by now, what mat am I missing?” and it’ll turn out I just hadn’t scanned all the fragments. /foreheadmack

[sudden lake]

I firstly got completely destroyed by ghost, or more my energy did because i used sonar, force Field and silent Mode

[sudden lake]

Oh, ig frustrating

Ive searched So long for magnetite, cuz i basically needed it for everything, i only found it in lost River in part with ghost leviathans eggs in tree, and it was under that blue animone or whatever it was, so i had to precisely search for only 10 of it in total, but then i realised there was So many of it in jellyshroom cave in which i was long before 😭

And it wasnt like i discovered it long Time after i found magnetite in lost River, it was literally the next rl day when i did

Tho tomorrow imma already head to quarantine facility, then i think ill soon finish game and start playing bz

I mean, its not like i really really want to end it

Im Just really interested of bz

[obtuse jungle]

Just be prepared - I like BZ a lot, but for different reasons than I like Subnautica. It’s not exactly the same experience.

And I’ll admit, I liked it less when I first played it, but it’s grown on me through repeat playthroughs.

[sudden lake]

I know, and thats why im excited

Im very interested in the land biomes

Im really interested in story and structures, As i know almost nothing about them compared to og

[obtuse jungle]

Ah, well, the story…hm.

[sudden lake]

I really like design of leviathans there, maybe more than in sn

[sudden lake]

I know its not as good tho im still interested

[obtuse jungle]

It’s got beautiful biome and creature design. /nod It’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to it.

Anyways, gotta go. Good chatting. And good luck with the rest of SN and BZ!

[sudden lake]

Thx and bye

[amber cairn]

its big enough and metal enough that they recognize it's not something they can eat and they're not sure if they can destroy it

[clever cloak]

[clever hemlock]

is there anything special about the cyclops

[glossy sun]

Yea, it can act like a mobile base, and it can store 1 vehicle for easy transport

[clever hemlock]

should i bring a seamoth in it or a prawn suit

[glossy sun]

Prawn suit since it can only walk, just makes it easier to get it to and from your base

And where do I find ||crystalline sulfer|| and ||nickel ore||

[clever hemlock]

uhh

nickel can be found in the lost river

same with crystaluine sulfer

[glossy sun]

When I hear ||lost river||

[bronze bobcat]

ehh, lost river's not that bad. Couple ghost leviathans, but you can get past em pretty easily if you don't make much noise

Having a creature decoy on hand doesn't hurt either, just in case

[glossy sun]

Except, the only way in that I know of is the entrance near lp17

Into the jshroom caves

Oh, I see now

Where are Silver deposits aka ||the ones you can drill||

[bronze bobcat]

There's a lot of silver deposits in the crag field, south of the Aurora, that's where I usually get mine mid-game

[glossy sun]

Ok, I'll go there. Should I be careful of anything

[bronze bobcat]

Not too many enemies in crag field, mostly just some bonesharks but they're mostly minor annoyances. Go there during the day, though, cause crag field is dark as hell at night

[nimble spear]

oh, very funny, mod writers

[glossy sun]

No reapers? I mean it's near The Aurora the second most common place for em

[bronze bobcat]

It's a strangely peaceful(ish) biome, especially for something sandwiched between the aurora and the grand reef

[olive pumice]

yeah

[inner yarrow]

i visited the floating islands and i didnt find a single wreck? are they all on the islands close to the edge ot what?

[glossy sun]

How do I know if I'm in crag field

[inner yarrow]

never been there but you could press f1 and check

idk if it disables achievements

if you care about that stuff

[glossy sun]

I'm on switch

[inner yarrow]

damn

well every area has a shift in its palet and music

[torpid summit]

i let my pet jellyray out of my inventory for 2 seconds and it got infected

[inner yarrow]

i let an infected peeper into my jerry enclosure :(

[torpid summit]

Then bring a peeper carrying enzyme into the same enclosure

[inner yarrow]

im yet to even visit the lost river lol

[azure hare]

It’s alr half dead

Spent all my oxygen knifing it because it nocliped

[glossy sun]

I'm in crag, I found a silver deposit

But only got 13

[rough whale]

Mmm ham and cheese

[amber cairn]

lost river is cozy

[tall wren]

Where should I make my main base in my survival world want to be somewhat close to a lost river entrance and have some nearby resources

[rough whale]

The blood kelp trench right next to sea traders, the dunes if you can handle it and ofc the LF and the bounty within

[tall wren]

Wait the blood kelp trench

I’ve never seen a base there @rough whale

[rough whale]

I built my main storge there there's some readily available heat vents there as well not too close to any reapers it's wonderful

Lemme get a map

[tall wren]

Ok

[rough whale]

Right here is where I built it

[tall wren]

Hmm thx I think about it

[rough whale]

It is farily deep down and needs a non solar power source though

[raven trail]

you could power transmit solar energy

[rough whale]

The grassy plateaus to the west of there also works

[tall wren]

Ya I have a lot of urinite so I can make a reactor of you said there’s thermal vents

[rough whale]

True but there's an easy heat vent right there

[raven trail]

yeah nuclear would be best/easiest for that location but solar is possible 🤷

[rough whale]

Technically yes that is true a tube up to surface and solar is always an option and you ARE in the dunes albeit on the edge titanium is easy pickings

[tall wren]

Ya prolly not sollar copper to rare for me

[raven trail]

you dont need a tube just power tranmitters along the walls

[tall wren]

Do you guys know what biome has the big copper nodes

[raven trail]

mushroom forest

[rough whale]

The mushroom trees has lots of big copper

[tall wren]

K thx

The one with the big tree or the one next to aurora

[raven trail]

both

[tall wren]

K

Thx

[azure hare]

yo bro

i released an reaper to the reef

to make it lore accurate

do they kill each other

[cyan owl]

My last save I made a Dunes base a little ways south of the crater around a hydrothermal vent, powered it with all thermals. Got a large room in such a spot that a Reaper occasionally swims overhead of the glass dome. Probably my favorite observatory I built next to the Crash Zone Mesas one I made.

[viral badge]

how do i get silver

?

ive broken a bunch of those ore things

[dark ravine]

Find it

[viral badge]

...

very helpful

can someone with more than one braincell tell me?

[acoustic osprey]

Look for sandstone in kelp forests and in grassy plateaus (red grass biome)

Some can also be found in safe shallow caves

There are also barnacles that grow on reefbacks which drop copper and silver

[viral badge]

is there a way to charge items or should i use them sparingly

[glossy sun]

The battery/power cell charger

[viral badge]

i have the battery, how do i use it on the item

[glossy sun]

Build it in your base, eject the battery and place the battery in the charger

[tall wren]

I need some help currently on a huge mining mission got copper and lithium done I just need titanium quartz and lead where can I find the big nodes of them no lost river lava zones or dunes/mountains/crashzone

[drifting marlin]

if you get a certain type of fins i forgot what they're called you can charge them while you hold it when your swimming during the day but to get you need a modification station

[viral badge]

im still very early in the game

i dont have a base

[drifting marlin]

you can get copper off of reefbacks from barnacles they have a 90% chance of dropping copper and a 10% chance of getting slived

sliver*

[acoustic osprey]

Try to make a habitat builder tool then

[acoustic osprey]

Still not correct

[drifting marlin]

whoopsi mb

[tall wren]

I steady have copper and lithium I just need quarts lead and titanium

Preferably in the big nodes that the prawn suit gets

[drifting marlin]

if you go to red reef you can find alot of scraps and fragments to scan for titanium and if you find the giant coral tube it usually contains at least 6 quarts

[tall wren]

K thx

[acoustic osprey]

You make yt videos?

[drifting marlin]

no but im going to start making them.

[acoustic osprey]

K, cuz you can link your yt channel to your discord profile

[drifting marlin]

k thanks

[acoustic osprey]

[celest yew]

how much money you guys bet that i'll colonize the volcanic area

[drifting marlin]

20 cents

[drifting marlin]

hey how do I do it sorry I never use discord so ima bit new to this

[celest yew]

sorry i'm too lazy please paypal me 900 dollars

then i'll do it

[drifting marlin]

I only got 13$ in my bank🙏😭

[celest yew]

sorry please paypal me 901 dollars

[acoustic osprey]

There should be a button labeled "connections" in your discord settings

[drifting marlin]

k thanks

[celest yew]

[drifting marlin]

[glossy sun]

Are there any ||Crab squids|| In lost river

[celest yew]

i think so

[glossy sun]

God darn it

[celest yew]

now what u do is install the crab squid murderer mod

and kill them👍👍👍

[clever hemlock]

i think i just killed a reaper in a base prawnsuit

[bronze bobcat]

there's one, but it's very out of the way. It's in the far southwest, by where you ||use the orange tablet to get an extra cuddlefish egg||

[glossy sun]

How do I get to lost river from jelly shroom cave

[raven trail]

Leavw the cave and enter lost river like you normally would

[glossy sun]

Idk how to get to lost river

I was told it's through jelly shroom cave

[raven trail]

You was lied

[glossy sun]

Either way, because of it. I got the power cell charger

But how do I actually get to lost river

Found it

[pliant mesa]

yeah it's pretty easy

[glossy sun]

Do you see what's bad in this photo
