As of now, information on subnautica 2 will be relegated to this page.

There will not be independent pages for other subnautica 2 content for now.

Once the game is released, it will be a different matter. But ATM everything is relegated to the information we receive from developers and official press statements.

[limber parrot]

Will that page end up being abandoned down the line

I mean in favor of whatever yall choose

[heady gulch]

As always stated,
Nothing is truly set in stone.

[limber parrot]

Fair, we'll see when we see

[jade solstice]

i noticed that the fact that many items in the game beeing crafted with things only found on that planet, like some plants, means that version exist using other sources

like the Batteries with the acid mushroom

also, i saw atleast a few new Alterra Products allready

• the sub
• Arm Boosters
• new Tank design
• the diving suits

[jade solstice]

Scanner is also changed, so its a diffrent, likly newer model

[sharp oak]

Not confirmed to be Alterra, as we see no logos

[sharp oak]

And the PDA at the start of the game says that the blueprints have been tweaked to use readily available materials in the planet. The Neptune also has a tweaked blueprint.

[jade solstice]

looks to be but well now when the alpha is out io guess

[jade solstice]

i love that the PDA has an actual reason for the blue prints to be missing

i wonder how the blue print thing will be handeled in 2

in 1 the PDA was in Emergency reboot
and in BZ the PDA is missing a bunch of Alterra Entries because Robin haddnt upgraded to the new Alterra PDAs Xenoworks was getting

[limber parrot]

Maybe it's like "You got the standard pioneer package which only has the bare minimum"

[devout ridge]

bio sampler

[cursive vigil]

I'm not sure if I'm having a mandela effect, but did there used to exist an image of the sea emperor from the subnautica teaser trailer on the wiki, but featuring a different model of the sea emperor? I swear I remember seeing this on the wiki back in like 2016, it was the same frame as the end of the teaser trailer but the model was different, the head was more spherical

it was a variation of this but with a different model

[remote leaf]

I don't recall the wiki having a different model of the Sea Emperor in the same shot as the trailer

There is an early concept art of the Sea Emperor on the wiki where it has claws for hands though

[limber parrot]

I'll always find it funny how they showed it off as some huge sea monster and never had any intention to make it hostile

[heady gulch]

I doubt it, the sea emperor only appears in one teaser. trailer.

Probably just a mandela effect

[analog urchin]

i wonder if they are going to do that with the cathulu thing in the new trailer

[manic field]

So, we have SN for Subnautica, BZ for Subnautiuca: Below Zero, are we doing SN2 or S2 for Subnautica 2?

[sharp oak]

SN2 seems to be the most used term

[manic field]

Alrighty, that's what I was thinking.

Wasn't sure if we wanted something shorter since SN2 is three characters and not two like the ones the first two games have.

[heady gulch]

we could call it S2

but that just sounds odd

[sharp oak]

S2 is like a heart

but it looks more like Season 2

[heady gulch]

true... S2N?

[sharp oak]

NS2

[heady gulch]

thats natural selection 2

[sharp oak]

It's NubSautica 2 now

[heady gulch]

I can get behind this

[limber parrot]

SN2 just makes the most sense since the first subnautica is SN

No reason to break tradition

[limber parrot]

Does "cannot edit due to contradicting information" mean someone already pressed undo

Oh seemingly yeh

[sharp oak]

It means someone made another edit already

[limber parrot]

Gotcha gotcha

Thanks

[little wolf]

I feel like the subnautica 2 krafton report reference link should be updated to the newer version as the current one is outdated and the new one is the corrected informed one

(I could of worded that better)

[mellow latch]

are the sunbeams radio dates hard set? the wiki is giving me diffent info then what I got.

[sharp oak]

They're time based, but you only proceed to the next one if you answer the previous call. If you never listen to them, they just won't come.

[runic quiver]

.

[jade solstice]

i mean they made us think about it like anyone in game would have prob reacted to it when first seeing it

[jade solstice]

it was me id do
SN
SN-BZ
SN-2

i kinda want a Subnautica / Natural Selection universe Strategy Game ykn

Does anyone know where you can find the Multiplayer Mod for Subnautica and does the Mod work on Steam?
And how much does it cost?

[sharp oak]

This channel is for wiki discussion...
Nitrox, the multi-player mod, is currently only available on Steam. It's free, if you have Subnautica. Join their server in #subnautica-modding for help.

[cursive vigil]

on the Paul Torgal page it says this scene from the trailer features Paul Torgal. Is this true? I always assumed this was Bart

and the image on the wiki is literally named bart3

[sharp oak]

Strange, it is Bart indeed

I'll have a look

[limber parrot]

I always thought that was Paul moments before death

[sharp oak]

I think he followed a light after getting attacked by the Reaper, and then drowned/bled out.

[limber parrot]

The light was presumably a crabsquid right?

[sharp oak]

There are Mesmer eggs nearby

[limber parrot]

So he could've equally went towards their eggs or even an adult mesmer i guess

[sharp oak]

The fact he thought it was Bart makes me think it was a Mesmer, but that's speculation

[limber parrot]

Like it actually using its mesmerizing ability?

[sharp oak]

The trailer is of Bart, though

[sharp oak]

Yes

[limber parrot]

I hadn't really thought of that, quite a compelling theory

[viscid spear]

helo kiro

[grim sorrel]

i know that biomes name

[grim sorrel]

im lying

i dont

[summer kindle]

we can’t know really, I think it was assumed to be Paul since he looks to be getting killed by the Crabsquid in the DGR, where Paul probably died and it’s shown whilst Bart talks about how they shouldn’t have gone down there. But I guess there is no way to know if it’s actually meant to portray Paul or Bart but given that the rest of the trailer shows him, probably Bart

[limber parrot]

And considering the picture is named bart it's solid to lean towards it

[summer kindle]

that’s just what whoever took the screenshot named the picture

[limber parrot]

True...

How unheard of is it for devs to do wiki stuff?

[summer kindle]

they don’t

[limber parrot]

Yea figured not

[spark heron]

Just started a new game and went looking at the center'ish vents to use as a power source. Noticed that the map genie shows 3 vents in the safe shallows while the wiki lists only one. After having spent a good amount of time looking through the caves, I can only identify two locations. Checked the wiki a bit more and discovered that the actual biome page for the shallows shows the 2 I found, but the listing under the crater maps page only has one for the shallows.

[jade solstice]

just checked something

Pauls recordings talk about one of those breaking the bases hull in his last log

while barts last one is back on the island where he seemingly died alone after some time

in the last recording of the degasi itself you can actually hear that bart barely missed the crabsquid attack

and managed to get out alive and to the surface wich means he swam up 500 meters and avoided the ghost

[limber parrot]

It's hard to say if the creature placement would've been the same back then

There could easily have not been a ghost in the environment

[jade solstice]

wait i read wrong lol

it was the reaper

bart barely avoided the reaper attack

we also a confirmation line that degasi knows the cyclops an dhow big it is

[limber parrot]

They had a cyclops

It's how marg hauled a reaper to base

[silent gazelle]

nah she dragged it back to base with her bare hands fr (im joking pls dont take me seriously)

[uncut vault]

Ngl I use the wiki for subnautica role play stuff...

[sharp oak]

Nothing to be ashamed of, glad we're able to help

[pulsar glade]

I wish there was a way to get pinged when there are changes to the sn2 page

[limber parrot]

Itd be a strange thing to set up since it would be pretty pointless by release

[pulsar glade]

You’ve got a point

But still …it would be helpful since I’m an idiot

[cinder kestrel]

If you're logged in, you can watch the page (bottom of the 3-dot dropdown at the top-right of the article). From there, you can set your notifications to email you whenever someone edits that page (and any other page you choose to watch).

[limber parrot]

Useful to know

[pulsar glade]

Oh thx

[jade solstice]

i still have my massive list of vehicle and charachter info including the cut story BZ charachter things saved btw if anyone needs any info

[sudden dove]

Hey wikibros, felt like yall may want to see this thread. Some users are pointing out some inconsistencies. https://www.reddit.com/r/subnautica/s/MHqTOANNIO

[sharp oak]

Ughhh the comment itself is wrong, it is indeed in the Bulb Zone

But the Bulb Zone page needs updating

[limber parrot]

Just the creature list or as a whole?

[summer kindle]

Stalkers also spawn in that same area where the Reaper does

[manic field]

Oh yeah, I'm guessing this is your comment here:

Fandom can't "sue" anyone for forking or moving wikis away, as the person who replied to you stated the wiki uses an open license that allows for remix, destribution and etc of the work, it only needs to be properly attributed.

Unless the license is something like All Rights Reserved.

[sharp oak]

I see. I was told something else but I trust you more, I'll delete that comment

[manic field]

Fandom, Miraheze, Wiki.gg, ShoutWiki, Telepedia and more wiki farm hosts all use roughly the same open free CC licenses, a combination of CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-NC-SA, CC-BY-NC etc. etc. You can see the differences of each on the creative commons website. But basically, any company can word their Terms of Use/Service however they want, but they can't sue people if the content they are hosting is being released under a freely usable and shareable license, you just can't modify the license after moving it from someplace, like Fandom per instance. So if it was CC-BY-NC-SA, you can't monitise any of the content you use.

[limber parrot]

Does that mean this Fandom can be monetized?

[manic field]

They could because we use CC-BY-SA 3.0, but that's if anyone decided to use or modify the content from the Fandom Wiki and have it elsewhere.

But that's not officially planned in any capacity right now.

[limber parrot]

Gotcha, thank you this has been informative

[honest niche]

idk if anyone remembers this but there was a point in the trivia section of the giant cove tree article which stated this:

why did it get removed? was it false information? i remember asking about this a while ago and went to look for this smaller tree for a while but couldn't find anything

[remote leaf]

It was false information

I believe a user mistook a mod for official and added it

[honest niche]

damn okay

that kinda sucks

[charred swift]

they are hiding it

[sage pulsar]

Wassup everyone

I got problems with finding magnetite anyone can help?

[pulsar glade]

Ask in #subnautica-chat …this chat is about the subnautica wiki

[jagged obsidian]

Hey so this is super niece and specific but I was on the wiki for blue barnacles and noticed this line.

I know a lot of the ins and outs of this game yet have never heard of any of the plants doing this. so does anyone know the others that can turn white when killed.

So I have been experimenting and apparently slanted coral shell plates also do this but it’s not stated anywhere on their wiki

Also just found treespawn will do it

[remote leaf]

@normal quiver

[normal quiver]

ty for the ping!

[quaint ember]

Woah, they made a whole channel just for me?

[cinder kestrel]

And you have your own bot: @willow vector .

[plucky oxide]

Hello all, new to the discord, but not to the games 🙂 But Just wondering if anyone out there is a bit of a wiki guru could help me out in linking a picture to a page. 🙂

[quiet anchor]

@ everyone should get the job done

[fresh basin]

@sharp oak when you have a chance can you double check the alien containment page pls, I was looking at the data box locations and it says you can get it at bulb zone wrecks but my map shows that it isn't there. What do you think?

[fresh basin]

This server has 100k people. Not convinced that that is a great idea

Nevermind Ignis sent their map and it showed on it

[jade solstice]

its also there in game @fresh basin

[fresh basin]

K thanks

[winged kayak]

@mystic plinth

[jade solstice]

people who fork are even allowed to advertise it a bit but not for too long

oh and fandom likes to vandalize front pages with ads (they ruined the main page of the mcdonalds wiki to serve as an massive advert for the grimace shake)

and now fandom started to allow ads that could potentialy cause epileptic reaction btw i had one of those ads today

a full screen , explosion pop up for Delta Force

[frigid wren]

Whos hyped for subnatuica 2??????!!!!

[sharp oak]

Hm, as a wiki keeper, I'm scared of the large work load that is just around the corner. So am I excited? Partially...

[fresh basin]

Good luck, I'm not hyped for early access because I'm waiting for the finished game

[remote leaf]

nervous laughter

[jade solstice]

vehicle info !

[solar horizon]

What's a wiki keeper I'm oblivious

And I wanna know

Do u guys like

Update Wikipedia or lore or sum?

[remote leaf]

We maintain the Subnautica Wiki

[sharp oak]

People who keep the wiki tidy

[solar horizon]

Cool

[pulsar glade]

Can anyone edit the wiki?

too lazy to look it up

[limber parrot]

Yes

[pulsar glade]

Yall messed up

Wait…

Any edit would instantly show in the #📁wiki-changes

Im gonna get called out by a bot

I need to make a new plan

Ye, I got nothing

[remote leaf]

Not sure why you are admitting to planning vandalism in the wiki chat

Not the brightest thing to do

[pulsar glade]

Im too stupid to even find the edit button

[cinder kestrel]

And it's not just that channel you need to worry about. There's also https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges.

You probably won't see an edit button until you've made an account.

[pulsar glade]

I have one but I’m too lazy to guess my password…I’ve got like 12 passwords that I use across multiple websites and apps

[manic field]

Yeah, we disabled Anonymous (IP) editing on the wiki.

[pulsar glade]

What if someone were to use a different account on a completely different device

• VPN

just curious

[cinder kestrel]

Anonymous editing means editing without an account. We call it IP editing because, instead of crediting a username, it credits whatever IP address you're editing from.

[limber parrot]

Can we remove the second trivia point for the seamoth?

[cursive vigil]

why

[limber parrot]

Cuz it's a bit inappropriate

[hallow blade]

No its history

If its the one im thinkin abt

Its a fact.

[limber parrot]

I'm not askin yall anyways >->

[remote leaf]

While it is inappropriate. It is still a thing that existed in game.

Personally. I dislike censoring silly things like this. It defeats the purpose of documention.

[limber parrot]

Fair enough

So it's fair to say the wiki exists outside of subnauticas rating

[cursive vigil]

I mean as Terranhawk said it was in the game at some point, I don't see why it should be removed just because the game itself is PG

[limber parrot]

PG isn't a game rating ;-;

[cursive vigil]

it is in Australia

[limber parrot]

I see

Do all yalls ratings mirror America's movie ratings?

[sharp oak]

It's unfortunate that the game had to deal with that, but documentation is more important.

[hallow blade]

It was removed to keep a low rating from what i understood. It wouldve made it a mature game or at least teen at the time

[limber parrot]

Probably more teen

Idk what the European equivalent would be

[cursive vigil]

pretty sure that reasoning was for changing the blood colour, I think the creative lead asked the sound designer to remove the audio file just because they weren't comfortable with it since they had a larger, younger player base

[hallow blade]

Oh i thought it was the seamoth line 💀

[limber parrot]

The blood looks more alien not being red so

[hallow blade]

Mb ill see myself out

I didnt realize it was the blood color. I thought we were discussing the funky lil seamoth line that was- sus.

[cursive vigil]

no we were, I'm saying that changing a feature because it would have increased the age rating was the blood colour not the seamoth voice line

[hallow blade]

Ohhh omay

Okay*

[limber parrot]

Probably a couple other things that got changed in favor of the rating

[hallow blade]

I want my weapons to brawl with da big fishies. Sadly we cant have those. Wish the wiki explained why other than in a "beat around the bush" lore way.

[limber parrot]

Wdym

[hallow blade]

The uh

Whats it called

Reason weapon bp were removed from fabricators

From some massacre

Something prime i think

[cursive vigil]

are you asking why the devs didn't include weapons in the game?

[limber parrot]

That would be because of a real life school shooting

They decided they didn't wanna make a violent game

[hallow blade]

As genuinely tragic as that is, god bless the families.. natural selection 2...

Good call for a non violent game but

[cursive vigil]

main reason was they just finished developing natural selection 2, which was a shooter, and wanted to develop a non-shooter game

[hallow blade]

I think brawling with fish would be funny

[sharp oak]

They had finished Natural Selection 2, which is a very gun intense game. They wanted to do something different. There are multiple factors.

[limber parrot]

That too

[hallow blade]

Yeah i didnt know it was a school shooting factor 😅

I just feel bad now 😬

[cursive vigil]

no reason to feel bad

[hallow blade]

Well i feel kinds- ignorant xd

Greedy if you will. Didnt consider the reasons.

[cursive vigil]

it's not like it's common knowledge

plus, the shooting wasn't the main factor behind the decision

[hallow blade]

Well to be fair it is a dystopian future

So thats prob why too

Lore and a memorial move

Imo at least

[sharp oak]

Anthony expressed they are thinking of ways to make it so players stop killing fish. Why think when you can just stab a leviathan or punch a shark? They played around with them being unkillable, and instead offering more tools for players to think before acting. As long as you can kill something, no matter how inconvenient or long, players will always choose that over improving. Even if there's no reward. SN and BZ prove that.

[cursive vigil]

Does subnautica take place in a dystopian future?

[sharp oak]

It does

[hallow blade]

Yew

[hallow blade]

Terraria dungeon guardian type stuff

[sharp oak]

You work for a cartoonishly evil company in the future, one that values profits over safety of their workers. And it's normalized.

[limber parrot]

Not sure "players will always choose that" is quite accurate, a large crowd keep hostile life alive so the game still has challenge

[cursive vigil]

I haven't read many of the world-building PDA logs but from the ones I have read it doesn't seem like the world is what I would call "dystopian"

[sharp oak]

It depends on what you call dystopian

[limber parrot]

Corporate hell is dystopian enough for me

[cursive vigil]

I wonder if subnautica 2 is going to tell us more about the world

[hallow blade]

Its like a bunch of micro governments

Theres a term.

I forget it.

The type of governments that formed

[sharp oak]

Trans-govs 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧑‍🏫

[limber parrot]

Did the Cis-govs get wiped out?

[cursive vigil]

this is probably just because we haven't actually seen the external world through the lens of characters yet

[sharp oak]

What is "external world"?

[cursive vigil]

what life is like in the subnautica universe outside of 4546B

[limber parrot]

Well we likely won't be getting a first hand look

[sharp oak]

We see the profiles of multiple trans-govs, including their origins. And also hear people from those different trans-govs.

[limber parrot]

Information is quite sparse

Even the most knowledgeable don't really know that much

[sharp oak]

We know what it's like living in Alterra space, and what people think about it. And what 3rd parties think of it too.

[limber parrot]

UW should release a lore Bible or sumin

[cursive vigil]

honestly I don't know much about Subnautica's lore, I don't really enjoy reading chunks of texts in game to get the lore, I prefer engaging with character driven stories

[cursive vigil]

and if what Andy is saying is true then the lore just kind of sounds like generic sci-fi dystopian world which isn't that interesting to me

[sharp oak]

It's not generic

The company is not evil, just morally questionable

[limber parrot]

I wouldn't call it generic

[sharp oak]

In SN, it is super generic, sure

But BZ paints it in a different way

Seeing the characters talk to their families about their work, it's really touching

[cursive vigil]

I really need to replay below zero at some point I've forgotten 90% of that game's story

[sharp oak]

But it's all lore, not a campaign or anything

Everything already happened, or is happening in the background

[limber parrot]

Isn't that how alterra stories always work

Really the only way they can work

[sharp oak]

Old BZ story was pretty good

It's just that games about being alone don't tend to have much contact with other people

[limber parrot]

It'd feel a bit weird if it happened any other way

[cursive vigil]

maybe they'll make some spinoff project to explore Alterra

[sharp oak]

I think the problem is more the community not wanting to read

The info is there, but the Subnautica community is strangely anti-reading

[cursive vigil]

I'm a part of the problem

[limber parrot]

It isn't the subnautica community specifically

[cursive vigil]

I don't like to read much when I'm playing a game

[limber parrot]

Text dumps just get ignored in games alot

[cursive vigil]

give me a Subnautica novel though and I'll read the hell out of that

[sharp oak]

I think text dumps are still pretty good

Those who are interested can read the stories, and those who don't want to read, watch YouTubers narrating those stories. Win for everyone.

I mean, it worked out for Necrit

[cursive vigil]

I searched them up and saw Arcane and immediately backed away

somehow I still haven't had season 2 spoiled for me yet

[sharp oak]

Yea sorry

But outside of Arcane, his videos are just reading the stories, connecting them with the others, explaining every tiny detail

It's not a lot of work, other than the fact they're super long, but I think it's a nice approach

I read the stories and then watch him for any details I've missed

[limber parrot]

Though you run the risk of them not understanding the lore...

[sharp oak]

What do you mean?

I don't think Subnautica has that many mediums to share the lore

[limber parrot]

They can spread misinformation without intending to

[sharp oak]

Oh, if that's the case then stop watching that YouTuber

And there's also reddit, people aren't helpful but they love correcting each other.

[cursive vigil]

the only subnautica "lore" youtuber I think I've watched is Aletho and the bacon guy

[limber parrot]

Reddits like a 50/50

Loving to correct people doesn't mean you're right as it were

[hallow blade]

Yeah. Communities either dont like reading lore, they read but dont understand so they babble and spread the wrong info, or they read it, cant understand bc its poorly worded/written so they create crazy conspiracy theories that start controversy in the community. So if youre gonna make them read, make sure they want to or at least the vast majority will read and make sure it is executed well

[sharp oak]

If you're wrong, someone will correct you. And if that someone is wrong, someone else will correct them

[hallow blade]

Sometimes i say something blatently wrong about something idk anything about so someone will correct me and give me correct info.

[limber parrot]

The moon is made of cheese

[sharp oak]

It's made of moon rocks*

[hallow blade]

Moon runes.

[limber parrot]

Works every time

[cursive vigil]

honestly I can't imagine many subnautica fans actually care about the game's story, let alone the lore of the franchise.

[hallow blade]

I care about it, but fishing with my hands is funny and the radio is a yappatron

I like the story and i want to learn abt my mans fate but the fish need petting.

[sharp oak]

BZ proved that so well. People didn't like the old story, and then complain they can beat the game without finishing the new story.

[limber parrot]

I like the old story and don't like that you can skip the main reason you go to 4546b

[sharp oak]

But skipping it is a conscious decision.

[hallow blade]

I was lowkey sad when they changed. If they had done some minor changes, it couldve worked and been completely different and potentially toyed with our emotions more. I love me a good game that makes me sad and or want to fight in someones honor 😔

[cursive vigil]

I don't really get your point? I don't see why a person couldn't dislike the old story but also be annoyed you can skip the new story. That actually sounds like a person who would be invested in the story since they want a quality one they can experience in full

[hallow blade]

A game that makes you feel like you as the player have a big purpose thats more than haha funny level completion screen yk?

[sharp oak]

It's confusing sorry I'm trying to rewrite my message

[limber parrot]

It's not one Robin would ever make though

A choice like this would make more sense in sn1 where ryley isn't really much of a character, but we know Robin

[cursive vigil]

I can't actually remember the last time a game's story has made me sad

seems to be a common theme these days

[hallow blade]

I mainly play bz bc i can load up a crapton of seatruck modules and imagine being a semitruck driver who is fortunate enough to not have to deal with annoyin drivers or any laws. 😅

And mods are cool

[hallow blade]

Titanfall 2 flashbacks

Then they threw with apex but thats said and done 🫡😔

[hallow blade]

If done right. Some just leave me confused

We gettin off topic. Run.

[cursive vigil]

I meant me not being able to remember things

[hallow blade]

Ohh

[sharp oak]

Old BZ was story-first, people didn't like that. And then in the new one, said players focus on the gameplay and not story, which leads to it being skipped. If someone was more worried about leaving the planet than the fate of her sister, that does mean something. It's likely that the players want to learn about the story without having to be invested in it. Without having to go out of their way to learn more. In SN, you can't really ignore the story, because you're required to go to the LZ to turn off the QEP, and you're required to turn off the QEP to launch. They're connected enough that it doesn't matter much, but Sam and Al-An are completely distinct, and finishing one will not lead you to the end of the other. The game is designed in a way that the gameplay leads you to Al-An, and if you want to learn about Sam, you need to be really interested. Because the medium they use for Sam's whole plot is PDA entries, something that only the most invested players care to read.

[hallow blade]

I honestly think that some of the s1 and bz communties just like big fishies. The rest be darned.

[cursive vigil]

That's seems more of a short-coming of the game than it does an issue with the player base

[sharp oak]

It's a bit of both

Subnautica story is one for fans of books, and the people who play the games happen to be those who don't like books

[remote leaf]

Guys

Wiki chat

Plz

[chrome locust]

when does Subnautica play (only the part the player experiences) and if you know where do you got your info from

nvm i got it myself thanks anyways

so i have a question: if the outbreak and quarantine happened around 1000 years before we arrive (alien data originates from 10.000 - 1000 years before SN and the Fauna Reproductive Data says the outbreak/mass extinction happened 1000 years before we arrive) and the blade from the alien facility is dated to be from the 13th century (supported by blood samples on the blade) and Subnautica happens in the 22 century then there must be a small mistake because the outbreak and quarantine thereby happened 12th century while the blade is from the 13 th century

[sharp oak]

We know SN is in late 22nd century because of a BZ PDA about a hoverboard tournament, I think.

And SN is two years before BZ.

[chrome locust]

Something about my former comment: I’ve been thinking about the timeline in Subnautica (SN) and its connection to the Precursors. Specifically, my theories were:
The Precursors returned to the planet at some point, Subnautica actually takes place earlier than stated, based on the age of a sword found in the game, or the planet quarantine happened later than the PDA suggests.
Let’s break it down:
Subnautica is stated to take place in the late 22nd century.
According to the PDA, the quarantine/destruction of the Precursor research facility happened 1,000 years prior, which would place it in the late 12th century.
However, there’s a blade in the game that is dated to the 13th century, which raises a question: the planet should have already been under lockdown by that point, preventing the blade’s presence.
For research, I asked ChatGPT to give me examples of swords from the 13th century that match the in-game blade. One result stood out: the Mongolian Dao, which has nearly all the same features as the blade found in SN (curved shape, ornaments, a leather-wrapped handle, and even the cute animal head on the hilt).

This connection makes sense for several reasons:

1. The Precursors were active in Eastern Europe and Asia (evidenced by the yin-yang statue and other cultural references).
2. Many elements in Subnautica are already linked to Mongolia (e.g., the Mongolian megacorporation Torgaljin).
3. Historically, the Mongolian Dao was in use as from the 7th century, meaning that the Precursors could have brought the blade to the Planet from the 7th century through the 13th century, but they must have left the planet around the 13th century, as that’s when the blade is dated according to the PDA.
   However, this raises additional questions about the PDA’s itself:
4. If the PDA measured the blade’s age itself (by for example carbon dating or similar), it implies that my former theories are still not proven wrong.
5. But if the PDA relies on pre-existing data the PDA would straight up lie to the player as it says that it lost its data due to the crash.
   Fazit: I was right about my former mentioned 3 theories or I was wrong about those theories but the PDA is lying to the player.

correct me please if i did a mistake

[tame idol]

I feel like the PDA is probobly lying to the player because its goal throughout the game is to keep you alive, and going to indepth on stuff like that could distract the player and end up getting them killed. bit far fetched, but its the best ive got

perhaps the sword came down from orbit from a ship that was shot down carrying it

theres a lot of possibilities my dude. maybe the Degasi was carying some artifacts on it for some reason and that was one of them and it fell into the sea during the crash.

TLDR: the sword itself may be from the year 1300, but which year 1300 it is, and when it got to 4546b mean it could possibly still make sense

[remote leaf]

The sword is in a precursor base. It was stored there by them.

I think the more likely option is it is simply a small plot hole. As someone who has been active on the wiki for sometime. You will be surprised how many tiny things like this exist.

Anyway. This chat is for the wiki. Not theories/plotholes

[tame idol]

we know the PDA"s data got deleted, and for carbon dating it would need a physical sample to analyze. im betting its using a less reliable method of dating thaat messed up its estimate.

[chrome locust]

oh yeah it does my most favorite one is the stasis rifle plot hole

[sharp oak]

Never cook again

[chrome locust]

What should this even mean are you smart? The PDA just mentioned the scannable blade to be from earth from the 13th century. Can you even fathom how many different kinds of blades there where at the time on the whole earth (and yes the Precursers can be on the whole earth cause they are alien capable of space travel) and you seriously expect me to search up every single kind of blade during the time on the whole earth and then look at what kind of blade would fit lore wise, like Hell no i wouldnt and anyone else in here didnt care as well bc thats how you are supposed to use AI. Im not gonna search for every blade on earth at the time on my own im gonna give AI a picture of the blade alongsite a request to look up what kind of blade is similar to the given picture during the 13th century on earth and then im gonna compare those results my self. You act like AI = Bad is such a bad take you better never cook again

like what else should AI and chatbots be used for

[vapid turret]

My take on AI now days isn’t actually AI

[sinful onyx]

Hey I can't find the audio for the degasi crew, is it not on the wiki? Am I going crazy? I swear they do talk in the first game, I'm 100% certain

I don't want to go through and collect it all myself:(

Okay, it was in databank and not dialogue, my mistake I guess

[chrome locust]

They even talk about the hardened blade in one of the dialogues

[sinful onyx]

I could not find any mention of the degasi or it's crew

[chrome locust]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Databank_(Subnautica)#Degasi_Survivors

[chrome locust]

Over 10 years ago, the chief and vice chief of Torgal Corp, alongside Marguerit Maida, embarked on a mission to their new deep space station. On their journey, they attempted to land on planet 4546B (referenced in Paul Torgal's Log #2 - Dilemma). However, they were shot down. This incident occurred approximately 10 years prior to the events of Subnautica. Considering the 13-month travel time (Alterra Auxiliary Mission Orders) and the preparation and planning time for Alterra’s main and secondary missions, the Degasi was declared lost around five years later.

Thirteen months after the Degasi's disappearance, the Aurora was dispatched, partly tasked with searching for the Degasi. The Aurora, equipped with different scanners, attempted a similar landing maneuver near 4546B but was also shot down.

[chrome locust]

The Degasi crew initially landed near the Floating Island and constructed habitats there. However, a storm and falling debris destroyed their habitat and grow beds, forcing them to relocate to the Jellyshroom Caves to gather more resources.

During their time there, Paul Torgal's son, Bart, noticed that they were ill and discovered the bacterium was "altering their genetics" (Degasi Voice Log #7 - Malady), similar to the bacterium seen in Natural Selection. Bart attempted to research the infection but lacked sufficient data.

Eventually, the crew went even deeper into the planet’s caves. Conflicts arose among the survivors, and their new habitat was destroyed by a Leviathan attack. Paul Torgal suffocated, Marguerit Maida survived by killing a Reaper Leviathan, and she used its corpse for survival. She rode the Reaper’s remains to the location later known as the Below Zero island, where she lived by eating and surviving within the Reaper's body.

This suggests that Maida likely came into contact with the Leviathan’s stomach enzymes, which are essentially Enzyme 42. This could explain how she was healed from the Kharaa infection.

[sinful onyx]

I think that's all in databank though

Yeah

That's not even a quote

[chrome locust]

it was 2 am when i wrote most of what i wrote yesterday its not an exact quote but its mentioned the last part of Maida is just a theory in combination with what i knew about reapers/ the peepers at the time (the pda said that the enzyme the peeper has inside its stomach is basically enzyme 42 it gathered from the emperor and that said enzyme has similarities with the stomach enzyme of "larger predetors" which i presumed to be leviathans like the reaper)

[chrome locust]

Hello i have another question: In the wiki, it says that Torgal Corp's shares reached an all-time high when they announced they would build phasegates to the ARIADNE ARM, and even Alterra was threatened by Torgal's operation to build phasegates to that region ("Alterra Corp. currently operates 9% of all phasegates in the galaxy. If the Aurora's mission is successful, Alterra will have outmanoeuvered a cabal of Mongolian corporations") (Alterra Launches the Aurora).
It's also said that Alterra's Aurora has to go through nine different trans-gov authorities, meaning the Ariadne Arm should be pretty far away from Alterra's trans-gov sectors. Yet, they still try to build phasegates in the Ariadne Arm only because Torgal built gates there. This must mean the ARIADNE ARM is pretty important in some way, but I didn’t read what’s so important about that region. Does someone know anything about that?

[sharp oak]

It's far away. The furthest away, it'll allow exploration of new areas. Ariadne Arm is the arm of a different galaxy.

Though again, this is a lore question, not #📚wiki-discussion appropriate.

[sharp oak]

@heady gulch hi, could you please ban the vandal from Al-An's page? MozzarellaMan

[sharp oak]

Thankssss

[chrome locust]

First of all thank you very much for the answer, second of all im very sorry about asking those lore related question here and is there even a lore channel as that would help me a lot?

[cursive vigil]

just ask in the specific game chat

[sharp oak]

#subnautica-chat or #below-zero-chat work! (though BZ chat if it includes any information from BZ)

[chrome locust]

thanks

[chrome locust]

will there be a voicover coming for the below zero dialogues like in the SN wiki

[novel forge]

I feel like Gloves should be mentioned in the equipment article

[vapid turret]

"Its recipe can be unlocked be scanning fragments"

[chrome locust]

I think there is a huge mistake made in the wiki. The wiki states that Subnautica takes place in the late 22nd century, even though the only source of this is cut content. There is nothing official that states Subnautica takes place in the late 22nd century. It was only officially stated in the scrapped Subnautica: Below Zero intro, and in the "hoverball rules" PDA, which both are not part of any game anymore. There are also some other instances where it was mentioned, but as I said, it was never officially stated, only in cut content. The only thing I have found that somehow connects Subnautica to the 22nd century and isn't cut content is the "Trans-Gov Profile: Alterra Corp," which says that Alterra was founded in the mid-22nd century. What I have found, however, is an answer from Obraxis to the same question, though this answer is already 9 years old.

[limber parrot]

We know the game takes place sometime after alterras founding and seemingly a not insignificant amount of time considering how big alterra has become, late 22nd century doesn't seem far fetched

[chrome locust]

Alterra was founded around the 2150s, and Subnautica takes place, according to the wiki, in the 2190s/2200s. So, you mean to tell me that the growth of Alterra into a corporation and Trans-Gov that could stop the Great Expansion with threats to stop selling technology, the Great Expansion itself, the end of the Great Expansion, the creation of the TSF, and the creation, growth, and expansion of the Mongolian Trans-Gov into the Ariadne Arm would all fit into 40-50 years? I mean, Subnautica is a sci-fi world, but that still seems a bit far-fetched. I would place it into the mid-23rd century, as that would even align with the existence of the 13th century sword in the Precursor base, while the PDA identifies the outbreak as 1000 years ago.

[limber parrot]

The precursors have been around longer than humans, pretty sure they didn't just go to a museum and steal that sword

As for the fast growth, its a game not everything is going to make sense, and most definitely not everything does make sense

[chrome locust]

Yeah, that's the point I'm making. The existence of the Earth Blade on 4546B makes it impossible for Subnautica to take place in the late 22nd century because:
The blade is described as "dating back to the 13th century," and since we obtain this information by scanning it, the dating must be relatively accurate.
The entry also states, "Blood samples on the blade match the DNA of seven separate heads of state from the period," further confirming the accuracy of the sword's dating.
However, the outbreak of Kharaa on 4546B (unlike the century in which Subnautica is set) is repeatedly stated to have occurred 1,000 years ago, placing it in the late 12th century if we assume SN1 takes place in the late 22nd century. This means the blade, which was dated to the 13th century (a fact even supported by the blood samples from leaders of that period), could only have been brought to the planet after the lockdown—an idea that makes even less sense.
This is why I would place Subnautica in the mid-23rd century instead which is just as much a subjective opinion as dating SN in the late 22nd century as both have no official/cannon evidence supporting it and for me personally the 23rd century makes more sense. It aligns better with the timeline of the blade and makes more sense progression-wise.
Last but not least—and this might sound a bit far-fetched—but it feels like Unknown Worlds deliberately cuts anything that could definitively place the game in the 22nd century.

[chrome locust]

true

[limber parrot]

The best thing I can say for this is the 1000 year figure is just an approximation and could be less or more, better question however would be why is a 13th century earth blade in the primary containment facility of a temporary research planet

[chrome locust]

idk. there is no information about it. It's probably like taking a cool rock with you while on a walk and someday you randomly find it again and bc you are to lazy to throw it away you just place it somewhere and act like its a decoration, your guess is as good as mine.

[sharp oak]

Hoverball rules weren't cut

[chrome locust]

there is nothing on the Subnautica wiki about it i really dont know where you have that information from

like please sent me a link or screen shot if possible

[sharp oak]

I read it somewhere in the game, and I'm sure it was not through commands

I'll look for it when I have the time

[chrome locust]

that would really help

[limber parrot]

It could be it was just on a wall

[chrome locust]

i found a place where the poster could be brb

found it:

still no rules or date tho

[steady marlin]

Is cuddlefish actually your friend?

[jade solstice]

found a mistake aswell

according to the wiki the Degasi crashed around a decade prior to the aurora

but according to the PDA the degasi crashed 10 years before the Aurora LAUNCHED

and the aurora lost contact 1.5 (18 months) after yhe launch

wich means the Degasi diddnt crash 10 but 11.5 years prior to the Aurora

that would also means Maida isnt 52 and 54 but 53.5 and 55.4 in the games

[chrome locust]

The Aurora didn't lose contact 18 months post-launch, but 13 months because that's when it was supposed to perform the slingshot maneuver around 4546B to get near the Degasi, the same maneuver which led to the aurora being shot down. "Mission Details:

• Aurora is due to perform a slingshot maneuver around 4546B (category 3 ocean planet) approximately 13 months post-launch
• This will bring the ship within range of the Degasi's last known position
• Additional aquatic and all-terrain vehicles have been included in the Aurora's cargo package for this mission
• Degasi crew manifesto has been distributed to senior employees in a separate message" (Aurora Auxiliary Mission Orders)

i know the BZ wiki says 18 months tho this was said in news article that mentions that the information stems from "inside sources" so Altera which probably is this inside source could've just lied

[limber parrot]

Can we guess ryleys age??
I was under the assumption there was no info about that

[chrome locust]

there isn't info about it id say mid 20's to early 30's purely by looks

[bold rivet]

Does anyone have a plausible explanation as to why the 4546B moon can be seen from the planet orbiting above the horizon at all time?

the only explanation to me is that 4546B is actually less heavy than its moon, and that 4546B is orbiting around its supposed moon

[limber parrot]

It has two moons i think

[bold rivet]

yeah but the second one is pretty far away

i doubt it has any effect on gravity

[sharp oak]

This is the wiki chat, try asking in #subnautica-chat

It's in several channels now that I'm looking

[cursive vigil]

all of them

[tawdry mountain]

@sharp oak sorry for the ping

but

do yk when there will be mod apps?

[sharp oak]

There are no applications. New moderators are chosen by the team and developers.

[tawdry mountain]

thx for informing

I'll aim to become a moderator

@sharp oak do you have any tips

if you want send in dms cause this is wiki channel

[sharp oak]

Stick around for some years, act accordingly and help us.

[tawdry mountain]

I'll try

[sharp oak]

There isn't much else to say. I didn't ask to be a moderator, I don't think any other mod did either.

[tawdry mountain]

but sooner or later when I graduate I'll aim for a Dev job at the studio

anyways thx very much

[sharp oak]

Good luck! And yes, you're right. This is wiki channel, not the best place for this when there's #off-topic.

[tawdry mountain]

yep

[lapis current]

we need subnautica 2 to come out early😭

[limber parrot]

It won't be coming out in early 2025, further more this is the wiki channel, move to #subnautica-2-chat

[lapis current]

oh ok iam new so i didn't know

[limber parrot]

Not a problem

[dire shard]

Do leviathans regenerate health

[limber parrot]

No

[sharp oak]

Everything regenerates poison damage, dealt by gas pods and Drooping Stingers

[dire shard]

Aw man

So now I may know where the adult ghost went

It might have died to an Ampeel when I got it low with Cyclops

[sharp oak]

Considering the Ampeels deal very little damage and the Ghost has 8000, and that leviathans respawn if killed by other creatures, there's no way that is what happened. Most likely, it clipped through the floor when you were going away.

[dire shard]

Oh they respawn if killed by other creatures?

[sharp oak]

Nvm

Other creatures do

Not leviathans

[modern abyss]

well well well

[remote leaf]

No. Leviathans should still respawn if killed by other creatures

I have found a respawn timer for them that is only supposed to go off when killed by non player

@sand zinc suspicious link (some steam activition)

[sharp oak]

They don't

[remote leaf]

Weird they have a timer for it then

[sharp oak]

Some creatures don't respawn regardless of what kills it. Those are all leviathans (except Sea Emperor babies and the juveniles), Cuddlefish and Alien Robots

[remote leaf]

Guess the timer just goes unused for it then

[sharp oak]

Yes, it's unused. The respawn is set to false and overrides their respawnOnlyIfKilledByCreature, which is set to true

[remote leaf]

Ah

[vague sandal]

||what type of civilization are the architects||

[sharp oak]

That's a great question for #below-zero-chat, but since we're here... They're a species hyper-focused on evolution, and techno & biological improvement. This led them to lose most of their individuality, as Al-An mentions they don't have personal goals, and instead operate like strings on a musical instrument. Working together for the same goal. They created vessels from dozens of other species and tech to make the most out of their lifespan. Seems they're too busy on researching and documenting every single bit of information to be hostile towards other civilizations (though they do have the technology to overpower any that gets in their way). I hope this helps.

[silent gazelle]

gives hive mind vibes ngl

[rocky glen]

In the mushroom forest wiki page, it talks about some 2 rare pinecones. What are they, and where are they?

[sharp oak]

They're a forgotten Outcrop. They are purple, and give salt. It was likely going to be used in more places, but currently, there are only 2, next to each other and their position is not randomized. It's near the Eastern edge of the Northwestern Mushroom Forest.

They could've added it to the moonpool but they didn't, as adding more items (such as Shuttlebug and Reefback eggs) would make every resource slightly less common.

[glad echo]

Why do peepers close their eyes when you get close?

[glad echo]

And where do the lifepods jettison out of the aurora from?

[lusty loom]

Either The Bottom Or The Side

[glad echo]

Yeah but like is there a door?

[lusty loom]

I would assume so

[glad echo]

I believe it would eject from here

[lusty loom]

Maybe

[sharp oak]

Their eyes glow, for better vision. The eyelids are a camouflage attempt, at night.

It would make most sense for the lifepods to deployed from the sides, since the QEP shot caused damages that prevented the pods 26-50 from launching.

This is the wiki chat, not lore chat. You can always ask these questions in the appropriate channels (#subnautica-chat or #below-zero-chat).

[glad echo]

Oops sorry

[sudden wasp]

to protect them as they speed up? Keep them from getting debris in them? Normally fish don’t really have eyelids so I’m not sure

[sharp oak]

It's written in the PDA...

[zealous stump]

...why is the wiki hosted on Fandom?

[sharp oak]

Back in the day (10 years ago) Fandom was the new big thing

[sudden dove]

See here. #📚wiki-discussion message

No, moving it will not be discussed.

[zealous stump]

ah

[cursive vigil]

In "subnautica"

I think they were saying there will never be an update for subnautica to have multiplayer

[sharp oak]

The games 'Subnautica' and 'Subnautica: Below Zero' will never have official multi-player support

[remote leaf]

This chat is for talking about the Subnautica Wiki

Not Subnautica questions

[remote leaf]

now we can have real wiki chat
replacing every image of the peeper on the wiki with an image of Obraxis

[sharp oak]

We have yet to add to the wiki

The first teaser we ever got, other than Artyom's About Me

[remote leaf]

is there even enough info on it

[sharp oak]

Nope

[remote leaf]

uh oh

damn line spacing

[sharp oak]

ohh so that's what it was

[lusty loom]

in wiki when?

[chrome locust]

A few weeks ago, I said the Subnautica wiki is wrong because it states the game takes place in the mid-23rd century, with the only supporting evidence being cut content. I have yet to be proven wrong, which, however, isn’t the point of this post.
The point is, after doing some digging myself, I found out when the game actually takes place. I must say the wiki is right about the mid-23rd century, though unlike the wiki, I can actually prove it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/subnautica/comments/1ife9a4/i_am_better_then_the_subnautica_wiki_and_found/ (the post where I wrote about it on Reddit).
I won’t post the full explanation here, though, since it’s quite lengthy.

sorry for the stupid title as well

[sharp oak]

That is a stupid title indeed

@remote leaf hi are you alive? Can you revert these recent Warper changes? #📁wiki-changes message

[quick jackal]

Hello Wiki Keepers. I have nothing to discuss just wanted to stop by and show appreciation for all the work you've done maintaining the wiki its has helped me a lot so keep up the good work and Thanks! ❤️

[remote leaf]

[heady gulch]

Since I did some of the rewrite on the timeline page, I’m obligated to post on this.

The wiki doesn’t say it’s the 23rd century.

And the alterra page cites it as beginning life as a defense manufacturer in the mid 22nd century

[heady gulch]

When I put into perspective the growth of the alterra company, I don’t think they did it in under 50 years

However,

it doesn’t say it’s in the 23rd century

The wiki doesn’t say the game takes place in the 23rd century. The number 23 doesn’t even appear on the timeline page period. The wiki doesn’t make any claims in its up to date articles that the game is the 23rd century. If you find any pages that claim this. Please send them to me, because those would need to be fixed

The timeline page says it takes place After the Mid 22nd Century since the alterra log in the pda cites that.

[sharp oak]

@heady gulch hi can we revert this change? #📁wiki-changes message The Prop Arm is able to do it, except in the latest update, which has been confirmed to be a bug

[heady gulch]

Oh okay. So they’re just reporting on bugs

Yeah gimme a minute

[heady gulch]

Wait it was able to pick up power transmitters at some point?

[sharp oak]

I think so

I remember Thermal Plants being the only reason to build the arm

It could also pick up Forklifts

[heady gulch]

Yeah but those aren’t player builds, it picking up base structure is news to me entirely

[sharp oak]

Thermal Plants had the problem of when picked up, they'd be affected by gravity, which means they'd fall off ledges, and if you went too far away they'd clip through the ground. You had to quit and reload the save for it to be stuck in place

[heady gulch]

Were they supposed to be picked up to begin with?
(I won’t lie this is super confusing because I never knew the propulsion arm could do anything like this)

[sharp oak]

Yes, they were

The behavior is present in most propulsion cannon affected entities

(The Seamoth and fish aren't)

A developer told me not being able to pick things up is a bug (only to then say bugs aren't their job)

[heady gulch]

Real

[fresh basin]

Pretty sure I saw this discussed in the wiki channel a month ago

[heady gulch]

Probably. One of the issues with our wiki is, we’re separate from NS2 Wiki. Although both are in the same universe, we really can’t go to the other to fill in the blank gaps of the “Alterra timeline”, because theres more to the alterra lore than is stated in subnautica itself.

Which sucks tbh, I’ve wanted to do an overhaul of the storyline page. But the lack of ingame info correlating to the history of alterra makes it impossible to do

[remote leaf]

This is something that is gonna happen when your connection between two game series is pretty much just some names

[heady gulch]

Yeeep,

I dont think we even know where both games are in the timelines, which one comes first.

[fresh basin]

Who knows maybe we will get more in subnautica 2

[jade solstice]

all we know is that its placed before Natural Selection in the timeline

oh yeah, found this from that games wiki

a Ticket for the Aurora

meaning we know its prefix

not to mention all the TSF stuff that game has (wich is a faction Marguerit Maida was apart of at some point)

having multiple games in the same universe is allways a kinda roadblock in wiki editing

[sharp oak]

Especially when the games get more disconnected as time goes on 💔

SN had a perfect setup to tie in with NS2 but noooo BZ brought it back to a clean slate. How will SN2 go, I wonder...

[jade solstice]

to think that they cut the plot point of actualt sending a sample up in the rocket

[limber parrot]

Honestly just make them different universes

[cursive vigil]

90% of subnautica's playerbase has probably never heard of NS2 anyway, it was more of a neat nod to the previous game rather than a full fledged connection

[sharp oak]

Since SN1 EA that Obraxis keeps saying they're in the same Universe, and he said it again recently.

[heady gulch]

who told you it was just a "neat nod". They've always been in the same universe.

[remote leaf]

I believe our cut content page even has a scrapped line referring to the events of NS. So during early development the two would take place around the same time.

[heady gulch]

im not surprised. the 23rd century mentions are all cut.

[chrome locust]

Then I may have read an older version of the page or misread but even then I would’ve kinda found out when the game would take place that being between 2237 2257

Also the Timeline mentions the Architect period but not the two unconfirmed times they were theorized to be on earth (yin yang symbol in SN1 and the mention of the centaur like body of the architect having a resemblance to the centaur in human mythology) and the one time they had to be on earth that being from 1205 to at least 1279.

[heady gulch]

We can’t support theories on the wiki.

[heady gulch]

The game would not have taken place between 2237-2257

You’d need to re-crunch some of those numbers

Because mid-22nd century (if taken literally) means alterra didn’t exist until 2250, and it’s unreasonable to believe they went from a small defense contractor -> helping end the expansion conflict n sign the charter -> becoming TSF’s official supplier + transgov owning 9% of all phase gates in operation

Unless you think this could have all reasonably happened within the span of 7 years. So your calculations need tweaking either way

Reasons such as this is why we only stick to what the game tells us for the wiki timeline.

And atm the only concrete time reference we have is that the game takes place after the mid 22nd century. Because it’s impossible to take place before that time point

The game could take place 20 years after, or even 100+ years after for all we know.

I don’t believe the developers intend to set a concrete timeframe at this time, or they would have probably left in the cut dialogue mentioning the 23rd century.

This way they aren’t restricted in deciding when or where current n future installments take place, for anything related to the connected universe

The only gripe I think I’d have is the lack of information or fleshed out details on alterra,

[cinder kestrel]

mid-22nd century (if taken literally) means alterra didn’t exist until 2250

2150. 2250 would be the 23rd century.

Unless I missed a conversation about Subnautica having weird dating conventions.

[jade solstice]

we do know they have a sword with blood from earth

[heady gulch]

I’m silly.
My apologies. I forgot that centuries are always done weirdly like that

But iirc there is a mention of 23something in cut below zero content. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s odd dating conventions going on

I retract previous statements above

[remote leaf]

A 13th century sword isn't the most useful dating tool when current date is 21st century

Especially since we already know 4546B has been used for 1000 years

[jade solstice]

well its atleast the 13th century then at a minimum

and BZ is 10 years after that then

[cinder kestrel]

Below Zero is 2 years after Subnautica. You may be thinking of the Degasi crashing 10 years before Subnautica.

[jade solstice]

oh it was 2

[jade solstice]

it wasnt 10.. wait i had calculated that before

the crash was 10 years prior to the Aurora Launch not its crash

18 months after launch

the Degasi crashed 11.5 years before the events of Subnautica and 10 years before the ship was launched

databank states it was a decade before yes

but that was in the "Aurora Auxiliary Mission Orders" wich the captain would have reveived prior to the launch

special as we know communications can take months thru space

Mid 22 century means 2150 (if there isn’t a language barrier I don’t understand, since English isn’t my main language) and mid 23 century means 2250 its a timespan of 100 years and that seems rather realistic but as I said „it’s probably during the times I’ve mentioned“ since we don’t know how long the blade stayed on 4546b till Kharaa broke out on the planet. What we can 100% confirm is that the game plays at least after the 23 century, since the sword is from the 13th century (source earthblade PDA entry) and there by the game that takes place 1000 years after the architects must at least take place after the 23 century. Both the 1000 years and the 13th century is confirmed by the PDA.

i'm glad to see even since 2017 it's still the same wiki people

[sudden dove]

Help out and be active in here for more than one day. We don't give it out to anyone who registers with the bot so they can get a different colored role.

Earn it, and you'll get it.

[rain raptor]

Alright!

Coolio

[cinder kestrel]

The bot does give you the role regardless of your activity or inactivity in this server as long as you have a role on the wiki (discussion moderator, admin, etc.). Earning a role is the hard part.

[rain raptor]

Also ouch kinda rude of you to assume that I want it just for the colour. :(

I want it for what it represents, my commitment to maintaining the wiki

[rain raptor]

Right, so basically Ive got zero luck, cool!

[unreal bluff]

[unreal bluff]

anyone can edit a wiki, so the wiki keeper role is only for mods and admins etc?

[pulsar glade]

Im not really sure how it works, but not all wiki keepers are mods

[sharp oak]

It's for wiki mods

[heady gulch]

Effectively.

[heady gulch]

To contextualize tuna’s statement a little more. At least my interpretation.

It’s a mix of activity here on the official discord, and on the wiki.
This way it’s not given to inactive mods on the wiki. Nor individuals who avoid participating in discussions here.

TLDR: if you’re promoted to any authority position on the wiki, and are active on the channel here in the discord. Then you’re likely to get the role

Although the bot that can auto assign it doesn’t really care about activity lmao

“I was wondering if i could change the interactive map image from the clean biomes to the textured biomes. i feel that it would be useful for people looking for landmarks near places, and also to find the correct spots to put alien bases and degasi bases should those ever get added to the map. also could i add LR, ILZ, and Lava Lakes maps?”

[heady gulch]

to answer your question directly.

I try to avoid touching the map in general. because of that, I'm not the best to make judgement on which is the "better map image" to use. Since I'm not reliant on it, I don't know what users find as the more "efficient" versoin.

[sharp oak]

subnauticamap.io is used for spoiler-free location screenshots, while mapgenie.io/subnautica is used for more accurate information

Which is the better look? Depends on the need

[stark jolt]

alr, ty

[stark jolt]

see, i meant the map that is built into the wiki, link:https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Map:The_Crater

[sharp oak]

My point still stands, the textureless look is intentional

Each type of map has its own purpose, I think you'd have to add a toggle if you want the other one too

[stark jolt]

alr. could i do that, add a toggle?

[sharp oak]

I have no idea

[frigid cedar]

at least i can look at him tho :)

They should add a leviatan in the nest game that roams the whole map therefore no area is safe. It would alot of fun in the sence that you never know when itll come after you. No more completely safe zones.

Also

That squid thing scares me

updated the pfp

[sharp oak]

Hm, wiki = best #📚wiki-discussion topic

Please keep Subnautica in #subnautica-chat

[stark jolt]

the large room and large room glass dome (the pages for subnautica, that is) don't have recipes. how would these get added?

[sharp oak]

Go to source view, copy from a different page, paste in the desired one, and change accordingly.

[stark jolt]

all i see is {{Recipe2}}. or do you mean the crafting at the top of the page?

[sharp oak]

I don't know which part you want to add

[stark jolt]

the recipe in the page. i.e., the Cyclops page has a section titled "construction recipe." that's missing from the large room and large room glass dome. and if i go into the source of the cyclops page, all it says is {{Recipe2}}

[stark jolt]

and i don't know how to add that to pages

[sharp oak]

Hm, strange

I'm not very knowledgeable of the formatting

@heady gulch probably is though

[heady gulch]

Formatting isnt my forte

I learned everything by looking at the template implementation on another page, and then copying + modifying it over to a new page.

If a template works on one page, its gonna work on another if you tweak it to go along with the page contents

[stark jolt]

yay i figured it out

[sharp oak]

@stark jolt If the engine is off, it's invisible. Standing still or using Rig for Silent Running don't do the same. Not sure how you edited the page but just letting you know.

[onyx river]

From what I understand {{Recipe2}} is a template that takes the name of the page in and spits out the correct recipe, using the {{Recipe}} template to generate the recipes. If you want to change the recipe in {{Recipe2}} you have to go to Template:Recipe2 and edit it in source mode. Then find the recipe for that item and change it there.

Been trying to figure out who or what did the voice recording for the warper, figured I'd ask here incase anyone happens to know?

Tried googling it but no luck. Thx in advance if anyone knows. o/

(also pls @ me if u know cause I have sound and all other notifications turned off.)

[stark jolt]

ty

so on the cyclops page, there's a table of all the different modules. should the recipes for the modules be added, or should those be left on their respective pages?

[sharp oak]

This is the wiki chat, we discuss wiki maintenance and stuff here. You'll have better luck asking in #subnautica-chat.

But I think it's safe to assume who edited it was the sound designer.

[remote leaf]

Might actually be good to know who did it so we can list it on the Warper page

[stark jolt]

how come on the wiki, in some places, damage is listed as a percent, not a fixed number? i.e. the alien robot page. the damage caused by creatures is usually a fixed number, and listing it as a percent could be a bit confusing.

[remote leaf]

Yeah. We should change it to a fixed number for consistency sake

50 damage is different than 50% damage

[stark jolt]

yay, an idea got approval. can i work on that?

[remote leaf]

Yeah. Go for it. Consistency is important

[stark jolt]

should % be changed to HP, or just have the number?

[remote leaf]

HP works fine

Mainly removing the percentage is what matters

[normal flame]

Ah okay sry misunderstood the channel description. Ty

[stark jolt]

is there a way to search in articles for keywords or symbols (namely, %)?

[remote leaf]

No idea

[finite junco]

they have said creatures will have more realistic behavior patterns and won't just swim in circles in their respective biomes

[median isle]

ugly disgusting imagine jumping out of life and see that mostrosity

[stark jolt]

would i have to be a mod or admin in the wiki to have the wiki keepers role?

[sharp oak]

Yes

And you get it for being efficient, trustworthy, and very active, both here and there.

The trustworthy part being the most important

[stark jolt]

makes sense

[stark jolt]

how would one go about becoming a mod or admin? being around a lot and doing the above?

[cinder kestrel]

I think that's how I got promoted to moderator and partially how I got promoted to admin.

[weary relic]

does anyone know if this thing has a wiki page because its unscannable and has no seeds thats all the info i have about it

[weary relic]

can the rare purple or pink pinecone things in the mushroom forest be scanned

[normal bough]

No but it’s in the wiki, they drop salt I believe

[junior kraken]

Lets talk about how ur in the ground

[stark jolt]

in the flora page there's a section for minor flora, flora that doesn't have a name or databank entry. maybe it should go there

[remote leaf]

@stark jolt minor flora is only if they have a name but no databank

[stark jolt]

could i create a "Growth" page? a page that shows all growable plants, their uses, and their growth rates? if not, could growth times be added to the "Flora" page?

[sharp oak]

Maybe it should go in the Flora page

[stark jolt]

can i add growth rates to the flora page?

[sharp oak]

Sure

[stark jolt]

weird. i tried adding to the flora chart, but it seems the chart can only display 3 items (or im just doing it wrong, which is entirely possible). what am i doing wrong?

[sharp oak]

@stark jolt in the latest swimming speed edit, they shortened the error range. Please fix

[stark jolt]

wdym shortened the error range?

[cinder kestrel]

Looks like they changed "0.01-0.02" to "+/- 0.01" (in other words, "-0.02 or -0.01 to +0.01 or +0.02" to "-0.01 to +0.01").

[stark jolt]

alr. i'll fix that in a bit

[stark jolt]

i think i did it

[gilded onyx]

Thought I'd ask, but does this early logo for Subnautica technically count as concept art?

Sourced this from the Trello Archives

Unfortunately we dont have a good high quality image of the logo, which sucks cuz its cool to see an earlier version of the logo, but oh well.

Either way, felt as though it should be put somewhere on the wiki since it is pretty interesting, at least to me

[gilded onyx]

Also, thought I'd post this here. Obviously a while back the Subnautica Done Trello board got completely obliterated. I created an archive of the trello a little bit beforehand, though I dont think I ever shared it. Sooooo...

https://trello.com/b/ProRGM23/subnautica-done-fanheld-archive

Complete archive of said board. Obviously some stuff is missing, most notably the comments and activity on most posts are completely gone due to how Trello copies boards, but its at least something.

It also features the archived/hidden boards, which contained a lot of material which was previously not known about or was made "unavailable", this is where some of the recent concept art I added to the wiki came from.

Feel free to use it for sourcing if you wish.

[stark jolt]

for some reason adding growth times to the table isn't working. i dont think im doing something wrong (although it is entirely possible and i probably am), so can i add the growth times to the plants individual pages?

[sharp oak]

That can work too

[stark jolt]

i think i have a way to add growth times to the table without horribly wrecking everything. if it doesn't work then i'll probably work on this

[stark jolt]

i've figured out how to add to the table, but it involves making a new table template, as all the tables on that page use the same template and to add something new to one of them i would have to add it to all the tables or make a new template and use that for the tables i want to edit (hope that makes sense). can i make a new template?

[trail marsh]

i did NOT know subnautica had lore

[heady gulch]

I did not know subnautica

[naive shoal]

is there any way to add Italian

[stark jolt]

yes there is, but you'd need a mod/admin's permission and a mod or admin to do it for you, as the language switch is contained within the source for the home page, which is protected from edits by us lowly wikiers

[naive shoal]

ooh, i see

[cinder kestrel]

Most of the moves were just comments automatically moving when I moved the article they were on.

[lusty loom]

Ah, neat

[cinder kestrel]

I moved two articles and recreated a disambiguation page to fix what @stark jolt did. You see, every article has a history to it (which you can access from the upper-right corner of the article) which documents every contribution ever made to the article. We legally (and ethically, I suppose) cannot remove that history while also keeping the article. So, the correct way to change the names of articles is not to recreate the article at the new name, but to use the built-in Move feature.

That being said, if I recall correctly, we made it so that only admins can move articles on the Subnautica Wiki. So, I guess you just have to ask us next time instead of moving it yourself.

[stark jolt]

oops. sry

This is random but I'm looking at the wiki for Purple Tablets and it's saying that 5 purple tablets are required to beat the game but that technically isn't true. You only need 3 if you swim through the underwater entrance on the QEP.

I used to speedrun the game regularly and only ever grabbed 3, 2 for the ATP and then the QEP control room.

[turbid ermine]

Power is drawn from the oldest generator first, regardless of the type of generator. Each generator will work to fill its own internal storage capacity and will not fill the capacity of other generators.

Can this be changed? https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Energy

It is only valid until reload. Then the order batteries are drained, is arbitrary.

https://youtu.be/yscDT2rZcek

Before reload the nuclear reactor is drained. After reload the bioreactor is.

[sharp oak]

@stark jolt it's your call

[stark jolt]

so the bioreactor drains first after reload regardless of other power sources? or does this just work with nuclear generators and bioreactors? in that case, which power sources take precedence over others? like, what's the order of power drain?

cuz in BZ i had a nuclear reactor and some thermal plants, and the reactor was being drained before the thermal plants

but earlier in that base, my solar panels drained before my bioreactor

which probably means the order is solar panels, bioreactor, nuclear, and thermal.

i will edit it, but i just want to make sure of what all i'm adding

[stark jolt]

and i'll do this

[sharp oak]

You should watch the video again.

The first built drains first. But when you reload, it's seemingly randomized.

Sometimes it's one, other times it's the other.

[stark jolt]

i did.

it seems the bioreactor drains before the nuclear

but will it always be randomized every time you load? cuz with my solar panels and bioreactor, and my thermal plants and nuclear reactor, power was always drained in the same order no matter how many times i reloaded the game

what i should and am going to do is build a Multipurpose Room with four water filtration, plus a nuclear and bioreactor, a solar panel, and a thermal plant, and load and reload a couple times to see what draws first and see if it's always the same

[stark jolt]

it does appear to be random. i did some tests, and i could find no discernable pattern

[turbid ermine]

Yes it's completely random.

Even between power sources. You could have solar, bioreactor, another solar, etc.

[stark jolt]

wait...i don't believe it's completely random...i think power is drawn from sources in the order they are loaded in...that would explain why sometimes (in my tests) my solar panels would be used before my nuclear reactor. and why my nuclear reactor is always used before my thermal plants

[turbid ermine]

It isn't in the order they are serialized, that makes it random. Also power transmitters place things at the bottom as it takes more time to connect.

[stark jolt]

the guidelines for posting pictures on the wiki say that photoshopped pictures are rarely useful and should be avoided, as well as pictures should be taken without the hud (unless the hud is the focus of the pic) and at as high of a quality as possible. since i'm on console, i can't just press F6 and remove the hud, so i would have to crop the hud out. however, being on console allows me to take lots of quite high quality photos. so i was wondering. am i allowed to put a cropped picture or video on an article as long as it meets the standards for quality, ratio, and size?

[sudden dove]

Doesn't R3 take a picture without the hud by default?

[sharp oak]

Yes, but they're in terrible quality

They're also darker than normal, dark pictures get heavily pixelated

[jade prairie]

they were implemented into the game? They were just only removed

I feel like the 2nd text is just wrong

[remote leaf]

I think it means they never spawned naturally

[jade prairie]

wdym by that?

[remote leaf]

they dont spawn in the world, you have to use the console

and they have always been like that

[jade prairie]

yet I have seen a youtuber somehow get it?

and i doubt they even know abt the console

[remote leaf]

you sure it wasnt a spadefish egg?

[jade prairie]

nope

[remote leaf]

then they used console lol

[jade prairie]

Let me search for the video

(If i can find it, since its very old)

[jade prairie]

nvm they did use it

Ig im the one whos wrong then

[heady gulch]

I have found a video long ago of someone allegedly finding it naturally.

me being naive I asked other wiki users in a blog post to see if they could find one naturally spawning too.

keep in mind this was early early access, long before the reefback had flora growing on it, and was half the size.

[jade prairie]

did they find anything yet?

[heady gulch]

no.

because we were naive.

and this was like. 8 years ago.

[cinder kestrel]

2017 was early early access?

[heady gulch]

its a rough guesstimate on time, im not digging through the past to find my blogpost on it. nor do i reccomend anyone do it.

[jade prairie]

hm

[heady gulch]

point is. at some point- yes.. I presume they appeared naturally in early access builds (experimental).

however, I've only found one video to back that idea up. and that was the better part of 10 years ago.

[cinder kestrel]

October 27, 2016 (I think), or earlier if you count beta versions. https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Update_History_(Subnautica)

[heady gulch]

right, more than likely was before February 25th, 2016. As that was the update which added eggs in properly. I think its reasonable to assume in the experimental builds leading up to it.. reefback eggs would spawn in.

[jade prairie]

i see

[heady gulch]

idk if this is before or after i had a delusion over a "hatchable sea dragon egg".

probably after.

[modern night]

For what exactly is this channel for i was wondering

[jade prairie]

is for discussing random stuff on the wiki

[sharp oak]

We can chat about the wiki - ask each other to edit/undo edits, come up with solutions for page reworks and such

[modern night]

Ohh cool, i will lurk in here time to time then

[sharp oak]

When the game begins EA, this will be one of the most active chats

[jade prairie]

that game being sn2 right?

[modern night]

This channel gives me library vibes

[jade prairie]

it kinda is

[jade prairie]

how many edits has this wiki gone through?

[sharp oak]

I have no idea

[cinder kestrel]

It's probably on the front page: [[Subnautica Wiki]]

[willow vector]

[lusty loom]

I would want to avoid this place due to spoilers correct

At least until I finish the game

[sudden dove]

That would be a good rule for this entire discord, not just this channel.

[lusty loom]

Radio silence it is

[merry iron]

I remember being able to spawn a Boulder in with cheats but I couldn't remember it's name ever again

I just wondered if anyone could find anything on the wiki about this strange boulder

I couldn't find it but I remember being able to spawn it in

[sharp oak]

The boulder with floaters?

[jade prairie]

Do you remember how this “boulder” looked like?

I looked at the Spawn ID list, you cant spawn a “boulder”

[jade prairie]

Is it actually possible to spawn this in?

It should be in ID spawn list

which it isn’t

[merry iron]

I dont know it looks like a boulder i found in the safe shallows i could be wrong ill find a screen shot of it nevermind i couldn't find it.

[jade prairie]

If so, i wonder if you can spawn more terrain related stuff with commands

[analog oriole]

Is there just a general talking chat here

[jade prairie]

No

[jade prairie]

And if there is, could someone send me a list to it or smth

[analog oriole]

Oh

[silent gazelle]

If u mean general as in just a generic chat, #off-topic was general originally

[analog oriole]

Tyyyy

[onyx cove]

where can i download warper sounds?

[stark jolt]

even if you can't download them, they should at least be on the warper page to listen to. if not, welp...

[ember geode]

<@&85343211593166848> he has put this in many channels in this server. As well as sent me a friend request/DM about it. Self promotion? Spam?

[modern night]

What was it?

[sudden dove]

Spam.

[ember geode]

Something about him making beats. Asking people to reach out to him for beats. Then DMed me about NBA lineups, saying that he can help me. He also said that he doesn’t sell pics(right after mentioning beats, didn’t give context).

[sudden dove]

Let's move on, please.

Help would be appreciated 🙏

[rain raptor]

[stark jolt]

[polar olive]

[sonic void]

uwu

[remote leaf]

this chat is for the Subnautica Wiki, not for suggesting game content

[violet oar]

[violet oar]

Ok thanks

[lunar moss]

Got it, mb

[sterile totem]

should current Large Room, Large Room Dome, Multipurpose Dome, etc. be renamed to have "Below Zero", to make way for new pages about the items in original SN?

[sterile totem]

@summer kindle saw you in #subnautica-2-chat but i wanted to see what you thought about this

[summer kindle]

yes that’s going to be done eventually

sorry I’m kinda busy rn with exam season at uni and stuff

[sterile totem]

that's real
i just got done with all that on Thursday of last week

[sterile totem]

Redirecting all the Large Room links to appropriate pages

[sterile totem]

Finished redirecting all Large Room pages to appropriate destinations.

Moved Large Room Partition and Large Room Partition Door to both be Below Zero pages

looking at those redirects will need to be handled at a later time

[sterile totem]

Can we try to find the sources for all "TBA" entries on the Below Zero databank page?

I started a new BZ playthrough and am trying to see what may trigger some of these entries

Minerals Galore - getting inside Drop Pod after gathering copper, ribbon plant

[sterile totem]

can someone help me get the correct image for the Glass Dome pieces and the Large Room Partition pieces in OG Subnautica

[modern night]

ahh, i could downgrade the game for it, should i?

[sterile totem]

uhh yeah do that

[modern night]

sure

[sterile totem]

wait

all that stuff is in current build i think

sorry idk how any of the image acquiring process works here

[remote leaf]

Image requires a transparent background

[drowsy ledge]

without the background

[winged frigate]

Is wasabi one in wiki

[chrome locust]

I worked on this for a long time but i finally finished reading through both of the subnautica Databases (every PDA entry and voice lines) and finally finished creating my (hopefully) 100% accurate Timeline (alongside some theories) https://subnautica.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000126011

[jade solstice]

theres 1 thing id have to add

@chrome locust

the degasi crashed 11.5 years before the game

the 10 years was the diffrence between them crashing and the Aurora Launching

the 1.5 years or 18 months is the time it took the Aurora to reach 4546b

because an article in BZ tells us that Alterra lost contact about 18 months acter launch (+ - the time for the radio signal)

specificly

well roughly 1.5 years

the slingshot is planned 13 months after launch

18 months after was when it was known the contact was lost

so 5 months prob to account for the signal distance

in short (reclaculated)

10 years prior: Degasi declared lost

Year O: Aurora Launches

1,08333 years (13 months) after Year 0: Game Starts, Aurora shot down during slingshot

• T-6mins: Captain sends distress Call
• T+2mins: Lifepod 2 Voicelog
• T+8hrs: one survivor detected
• T+8hrs: Rocket Plans received from Alterra HQ
• T+8hrs: Long-range com relay offline
• T+13hrs: Aurora's Monitoring equipment failed

1.5 years (18 months) after Year 0: Aurora Declared without contact publicly (missing more than one routine check in)

by the time they declared it they knew the ship was prob lost for good id say

but it was likly before the player returned in the rocket

[jade solstice]

thats also means that Ryley took about 5 months to get home in the rocket

at least

prob more considering alterra doesnt tell that theres a survivor

we know the aurora launched 18 months before they were confirmed losts

and given the 2 years between the 2 games

given that it tskes 13 months to reach the planet

ryley was on the way home while alterra confirmed the loss and aurora immiediatly launched the crew from BZ

tho with phase gates he was prob back earlier but atleast 5 months after the crashs till considering teh alterra news

[sharp oak]

Ryley only went to the closest phasegate, which was probably where Aurora launched. The ion technology is said to have unpredictable effects, so it's very likely his rocket was much faster than supposed.

[jade solstice]

well we know he wasnt back 5 months after at a minimum because of news articles

and at most 12 to 13 because the BZ crew would take about a year to reach the planet just like the Aurora

because alterra diddnt have any ion technology

or more like, the stuff in the rocket wouldnt rly be enough to fit the ships theyd send

and we know they still dont fully understand the tech with them not beeign able to open the gates in the arctic region

[sharp oak]

The phasegate in Sector Zero is alien and isn't connected to the human-made ones

[jade solstice]

not what i mean

im talking about the door they are researching at Outpost Zero

the wiki says 29-44 people survived the crash hmm

but thats not quite correct

i think? one sec

its actually 29-43

29 minimum
and up to 2 in each of the lifepods we have no status for

actually 28 maybe even
