She's exactly one mouthfull for a chelicerate
I think I'd like to never find out
I mean if a seatruck fits a few robins have to
My Seatruck has only been chewed on once, then the zapper stopped him
I do have the sleeper module now, despite his efforts
Electric toothbrush
I'd love to be able to add a cheli talon to my prawn, like the other one did
Squid shark tentacle on prawn, shock your enemies
Did 2.0 release yet?
a kilometer would be roughly sixteen Brachiosaurus heads
That would be cool as well
Hey
The khara ain't really I'm this game
||There's just a big frozen guy with it||
(What is that in English?) There is a little Kharaa in the game
||so the aliens came to plant subnautica already with the virus and i suppose they knew the sea emperor could make the enzymes||
They knew the leviathan of this world created enzyme proficient against the virus
How did the precursor suffer from the sickness if they got rid of their biological bodies
Or I guess just improved upon them
not a warper?
You learned them made the warper in subnautica to slow the khara spread
||they are a hive mind||
||you end up on their planet which doesn't have that much water||
warpers arent the smartest creat-things
The precursor are a hive mind
The warpers are entities made to reduce the spread of the virus
so
did they wipe out most of the planet?
or was that something completely different?
Their own civilisation mostly got wiped out
i mean subnautica planet
There's no reason a virus would destroy land
the volcano and the poles are the only places with life it seems
there can be
depending on how long ago it was
The void got a lack of heat and light so vegetation is limited
so the void being void has nothing to do with khaara?
Cause it implied the relationships between the sea emperor and the other creatures is what allowed it to remain stable
yeah I knew that
somehow defying the ghost's in the void
She just floated on a dead reaper
What kind of relationship
such a dead reaper should have been eaten by ghosts
Do you know if ghost feed on reaper?
since the sea emperor can generate enzyme 42 and disperse it around the water, the animals around are not infected
and the aliens knew this
except they tried to control the flow with the peepers and vents
The other creatures create their own enzyme
Less effective but still usefull against it
how do you know?
It's ezplained
in bz?
Did you know the khara got broken out into the world, the alien didn't just let it loose
Think so
obviously
Could have been subnautica
i doubt they'd willingly let it loose
The sea dragon freed it
either way the sea emperor witheld the secret to hatching its young for a reason
yeah ik that
they had its eggs
They couldn't communicate I believe was the problem
yeah she said that too
They got a gate to their home world we get there at the end so the other game could be there
it just seems odd how coincidencial it is that not only did both the degassi and aurora land on the volcano, the aliens inhabited it and by the time everyone got there everything big enough to imply none of it was there was dead
Do you know where Alan is during the second game?
The aurora was looking for them
Al-an the precursor you speak to
The alien inhabited the whole planet
maybe I should play bz
You probably should
seems i was way off
Well... Elliot and some other members of the Mercury II Crew did pick up on Al-An's S.O.S
Can you grow spiral plants?
try it
Yes. Each plant gives two clippings.
I am having trouble with story progression at the moment
Heck idk what i even need to do rn
Just try to go deeper
Find deeper areas
Or explore the map, try finding more fragments in areas you haven’t explored
You’ll find it eventually
If you haven't visited the spots on the facility map, you totally should
When is the update coming
It will surely be posted in 'announcements' channel
"Soon"(tm)
I think meatie said the major things are done
The last major thing is actual deployment
bug fixes might be more major
I wanna play with the new toys ... I hate waiting
hello guys, I watched a video about the plot of below zero and I want to ask if there will be a sequel?
The plot of what?
there should be another subnautica in a few years
Is it possible to crouch in Below Zero
Oh ... We hope there will be a third title
subnautica below zero
Nope
sorry, no. There's a tool that helps with tiny caves
Oooooh, that explains it
And it's adorable
not if it gets wet, or fed after midnight
True, that
Fun fact - if you use the self destruct while it's carrying anything, a wreckage will be left, and the item(s) will be hovering above it
Im very bored waiting for the seatruck dock
Are you needing suggestions?
Sure
How would you like your own pet Whale?
Oh i know you can ride them but can u keep em
I know where an egg can be found
Omg were
Inside one of the ||rocks suspended by lilypads||, there's a hollow ... it's there
Oh sick ill find that now
Take note, it's 4x4 in inventory, make sure you'll have room
K
Just now seeing this but by facility do you mean the place with alan?
I mean the facilities marked on the map
Like the story kinda places
You mean the places that alan wants me to find?
Cuz ive found only 3 of them so far i think
No, I mean the places where info about Sam can be found, along with other stuff
I dont think ive gotten that far in the story yet but ill double check ty for the help
There's a map, scannable on the wall in Delta. It goes in your PDA under alterra/maps
Oh crap i forgot to scan that
Hey everyone. I am feeling a little lost. I just scanned the pk8 artifact but it is still on my map. I reloaded the game... it's still there. Is it bugging out on me?
No problem, altho I'd recommend you visit the lilypads area later, when you can safely go deeper
No u just need to disable the marker thingie after u have s anned it
I have been there i found marguerite but after that is when i got stuck
So, have you encountered her twice now?
Yes at the delta station and at her base
So now you need to build a thing, right?
She wants me to stop some signal but idk where to find the parralel thing
Here's the map
Yeah i definitely forgot to scan that
Sir Meatie, master of maps
Meatie... why can ||snowmen|| be built underwater?
Is there like some wreck where i get the parallel thing i think i saw a wreck but idk if it was a wreck
omg I gotta try that now
Wait you can build those in the game?
yes, of course I am responsible and would know
Unless you destroy it before scanning it, lol
Where do i even find one to scan?
Of course you are!
Follow the map marks
Ok ty for the help i gotta go back to delta for the map
Cya yall
Good idea, that map is very handy
oh what a photo
It means get a better picture
It sais a large mass of rock has risen above the landscape
I noticed
it's a really big rock above the rest. it's important
For what
which is kinda obvious, as it got a hint voice line
Ive beat the game
It means there's a rock and it's above the land
Oh i havnt done that bit of the story lol i only did the margurite maida one
you are not making complete sense
Or you can be weird like me, and keep playing after that
Anyway. the big rock floats above deep lilypads
And it's got a base inside it
Well i dont really care rn im in creative getting a pet whale
you did ask
True
Can you plant ribbon plants?
yes
I almost had a heart attack just now
I was in my seatruck cautiously making my way through a dangerous biome i dont know the name of it and a leviathan at least i think it was one killed me and destroyed my seatruck
It startled me so badly i almost pressed alt f4
To answer my question to if it was a leviathan that killed me are there any red ones in below zero?
So thats the name of the biome
There's a limit to the map right?
the red shrimp are in many places and biomes
Yeah i dont think im going back there until i get my prawn suit a drill arm
the proper cure is not drill arm, it's truck perimeter defense. 100% effective
It's manual fire. Take note
I dont have a seatruck anymore it got destroyed by a chelicerate
Oh
load a save, or make a new one.- This isn't acceptable
Im making a new one dw
Shrimp 🦐 needs to learn a lesson
another thing, repair immediately. Because attacks have a cooldown
Rush outside there and repair, back in
Well the thing is i didnt even hear the chelicerate i heard the game music but nothing else
Well how do i even get the perimeter defense
Have you been to delta island
You mean the delta station by the thermal things
Yes
Yes i have i am stuck tho
||mercury II wrecks||
What biome is that in?
purple vents and lilypads
You will need a laser cutter i think
Oh god not the purple vents i just lost my seatruck to a chelicerate there
there is. Purple vents is the sand yellow biome with purple... vents
Welp i gotta make my seatruck again
save often, and on disaster, just load
If you get lost easily bring pathfinder maybe
I have like 20 beacons in a locker for extra measures
Wait is there a stasis rifle in below zero?
Yes if you use commands but not normally
Seamoth also if you command it in but it has a neon wrap bc no texture
Aw man im trying to get all achievements
If i use commands they lock
Welp ill be fine i hope
Time to go stress myself out farming for materials
Bye for now
So essentially the sea truck is the seamoth right?
can anyone help me progress in bz
yes. note that it can take modules on the back
just gotta find and build them
Basically like the first game
Only 150?!?!
ya but it upgrades a lot
I wanted to go deep already :(
fine, just find some nickel and blue stuff and mod station
It's basically like a slow seamoth that can be turned into a cyclops
Damn, spoilers
how is that a spoiler?
it's because I put a spoiler on my seatruck. Didn't work, it started to go in circles
Cuz I would've never guessed
To be honest you cann get some modules for seatruck quite early so idk about spoilers
I got a couple before dying in my hardcore world
yeah, I agree
I didn't get as far as I wanted
I don't like hardcore because if I die then it gets deleted, which I don't like
You can die?
Nah there's no consequences in the game whatsoever to make it an intense survival experience
you can go hug all the leviathans
Siiiiick
Ok i lost my second seatruck to the same chelicerate i think my game broken because im not hearing it at all and when it attacks my seatruck the animation has no noise
And my game volume is at max
So idk whats wrong
When i drive away it attacks it little by little
well I guess they are slow
It got my seatruck down to 15 health before it grabbed it
I had no time to stop and repair
can someone help me understand base building issues im having? I started my base with a circular room, which is a scan i got from the Delta outpost. I've since tried to put an observatory, but the only place it wants to build is over my hatch entrance. In general, I'm also not able to build anything in a diagonal direction.
i've only had it grab me for like 25 health and it had a cooldown like aggressiveness
thank you to anyone who answers me.
Welp the only upgrades i have for my seatruck is the depth mk1 and i have 3 module blue prints but i havent made em yet
add a I section (corridor) and the obs. should work on that. Diagonal never works
I don't think you can build diagonally?
if i have something against the wall, will a section fail to build and show red?
I cant find the last part of the afterburner
for example a bed on the interior.
I usually put my observatory high up, over the water even
Welp imma go
interior stuff can be in the way yes. These glow yellow.
I see... And what about the vertical pipe? does it not connect to the big circular room area?
no.
I think subnautica below zero just needs a break from me for today
ok thanks everyone
Bye yall
I don't think so, only thing that can vertically connect to the multipurpose is another multipurpose room ontop
Correct me if I'm wrong
yes, if you don't count the multi glass dome
v. pipe goes on the corridor sections: I, T, X
or on a v. pipe
^ You'd have to put a corridor section on the side of the multipurpose room to connect it via a vertical section
Can i not build a GLASS structure hallway from the circular base?
it worked nevermind
LOL... Ahh, the sweet scent of dirty bean water.
i found an alien obelisk and scanned it but it didnt progress any quests or make any markers on the map. is that normal?
the first time i found an alien thing, it led me to another alien thing.
yes. They are not central. When you scan a certain number, you get a reward
anyone wanna play?
ok thanks. will the small whale thing kill me
which one
the aggressive thing?
the glow whale
yeah
you got a mic?
i built my first base, my first sea truck, and now need lithium and stuff. yeah i do
do you want to play together and just hang in vc
can you join my game?
no I mean just playing separate
but talk about the game and stuff
I find it kind of boring to play alone
generally yes but gf is watching tv right next to me, it's very loud.
Are you looking for some info?
me?
I thought I saw someone asking for a chat
join vc if you want
OK, give me like one minute
sure
Crush them with the Seatruck
Yea Verily
Ow -- my ears
Sorry I had to leave VC, that noise almost blew out my laptops' speakers
sorry what about the shark with the octopus mouth
can i ram that also
it doesnt look that big but maybe it will grab my truck
Show them no mercy
... ok i guess there's a profanity filter
are there any rare monsters that roam biomes
yes
usually just small areas tho
like hillsides
or caves
so they won't chase you around the entire biome
Someone in the Xbox channel may know
is there a better way to manage thirst levels besides carrying a bunch of water bottles.
there's a water filter suit. And the filter machine makes much larger bottles
and spicy salad
Once you equip the water filter suit, you'll not be short on water
You might also look into carrying some ||water tablets|| when you travel on the surface
there is a water filtration suit? lol
I need to know how to get that
must be a lifesaver
yes. it's ||10m below maidas home outside||
It is good for survival mode
Enjoy drinking your waste products
really
I have been there so many times
how did I not notice it
Still better than dying
i dont understand.. how deep do i have to go to search for the last signal of the girl with the exo skeleton
i have 300 meter depth on my truck. i can go further down without it but there are no air plants that i can see
i dont actually understand if the signal is supposed to be taking me like 200m deeper idk
from the signal, go down into a tunnel NW, follow the glowy wall plants and light sticks to 360m
300m truck will do nicely. She has no door, don't look for that
thanks that would have taken me a long time
wait what does the game want me to enter the prawn suit in her base?
no
why do i have prawn suit upgrades then
For your prawn if you make one?
gd the red one is scary
man wtf this red squidshark is a stalker
With pincers? I met it recently too! Sonuva almost killed me.....
I wanted to scan it 
Uninvited guest
What a welcoming fellow
Here's his butt
Kinky
WOAH
is it weird that i kinda like below zero more than the first one? i was skeptical on buying it for so long until now and im realizing its better in so many ways
i only ask cause reviews always seemed like it wasnt as good
I like both games quite a bit
Deploy snowman decoy
Yeah, since we don't have the other decoys here
So far I've seen a lot of them with the same kind of mouth for predators it's all pretty much a sort of pincer
dont know how i havent learned i need to make my own opinion on games 😂
There's also a lot more ground which makes me believe that there might be less water and I fear that fact
I hope it's not true
i dont mind the ground stuff but in the first one the reapers just kinda scared me into using a map and guide, idk i like hardcore survival games but for some reason those reapers just hit me wrong
not being able to fight them/kill them especially
The leviathans in these games were meant to intimidate, not to kill
You can kill them tho
Better to just avoid them
But...hugs...
Again too, you're faster on seaglide than most of the predators I've met
As the first 'vehicle' the Seaglide is soon replaced, but I always bring it everywhere
Why wouldn't you?
yeah i know, once i got over it dove into the game (pun intended) it was much better, and i never had problems with any of the other leviathans in the first game, just those reapers man....shudder
They just want hugs
Meanie
Hm?
Honestly, it has lots of flaws, but I think Below Zero is better. I do, however, feel like it lacked a few things, like the ||medium rectangle room in marg's base (With the reaper skull)||, or more types of Leviathans.
I want to put a shadow Leviathan skull in my room tbh
I would imagine their skeletal structure would be very strange, but then again, it would probably be the only available skull considering Chelicerates seem to be oversized shrimp with massive mandibles (causing a number of problems) and squid sharks mouths likely have no bones (which would look weird)
Their bones might be similar to Ice Worm bones
since they're vaguely similar and possibly have a common ancestor
How does one obtain more musics in Below Zero, assuming there's more than one
Look for jukebox discs
They look like semicircles with a small rectangular bit at the end; basically futuristic records
Thank youuuu
Just a tip; I'm pretty sure some of the Alterra outposts (like the radio tower you're told about at the very start) have got them, as well as shipwreck parts (as in the wrecks might have discs)
Ooooh! Ok thanks!
anyone knows where are diamonds? i cannot find them 😦
@rancid pawn you been to the ||Koppa mining site||?
i dont think so i dont rlly press F1 to look at which biome am i at
Deep twisty bridges has some, don’t worry, they’re oxygen plants down there
It’s a facility not a biome
which way is it?
The mining site or deep twisty?
deep twisty
Deep in the twisty bridges
Just find what part of the bridges brings you down further
Also there is a squid shark down there so be careful
And seatruck modules
ight so im working on a lil side project in the form of having a notepad for the ingredients for every craftable thing in the game
including the base game and below zero
could anyone just send me a bunch of screenshots of the blueprints section in creative
You could check the wiki.
i could
Is it possible that some recipes will change with the 2.0 update?
I can't think of any that changed. The only thing was the Seatruck Dock recipe added.
Arctic spures
I hate
I just walk and ice worm kill me
What I do to desere that
This is really annoying. My prawn has fallen into this ice drop-off with a ladder and I can't get back up and nowhere is large enough below in the water to get through
If you Quit, game tells you when you saved last, with a Yes/No. Save often!
with the grapple, I'm fairly sure you could get it out. Frags in ||lilypad monkey nests||
This is a terrible game design. If I can walk the prawn into the biome, then I should be able to walk ot out. I've been trying with boosts and grapples for an hour now
Or maybe it was in ||creepvine root caves next to lilypads||
What did you mean by frags in lilypad? I haven't heard of a frag item
It will get my prawn out?
fragments., But you have it already
Oh
Maybe two grapples helps. Really, this is why you save game
Often.
or, take upgrades out, abandon it
I save often. The problem is I fell is right as I was going to bed and I thought to myself "I'll find tbe way out after I've gotten some sleep" because I thought that surely the devs didn't skip on providing a way out
I didn't think about trying with two grapples
How would that help? Does that pull you up higher?
it means you can grapple again, hanging from the first
I wish twisty bridges had some here.....flat....to build a large base. :(
One of my favorite spots is just south of the drop pod, it's a meas like place, on the edge of the deeper twistie area ... a good amount of room for a base
How far would you saw it is in meters?
Just to give me an idea.
Not far, but I can go look in a moment, I'm in the mine right now
No worries, I'd appreciate it. Twisty bridges is such a pretty biome.
But the spaces to build are so small, I didn't want 90% of my base hanging off the side of a cliff with no support. That's not realistic.
Actually, the supports are to hold the habitats down ... they displace enough water, they'd float if not tethered
Yeah probably, they are airtight. And hollow, but still lol.
OK, I'm at my drop pod, the mesa is south by southeast, 135 meters
Oh you weren't kidding, really wasn't far at all haha. I'll see if I can find it in a second.
Yep, it's a nice flat spot overlooking the deeper twisties, I have a base there, ready to install the new Seatruck tube thing ... whenever it's ready
when's the next update?
It will be posted in the 'announcements' channel
All we can do is watch for it
aight
Why are moonpools so buggy in this game?
They want to be placed like skyscrapers.
What happened to the feature they used to remove rocks. plants, etc when placing an object?
Seems to of been removed.
Pretty sure that was not an intended feature.
Fairly certain I remember such a feature on launch day.
intended
How is everyone's day going?
no. Well via command, for the seamoth only
Because the devs are apart/supporters of the LGBTQ Community. Anywho... this is a topic for #off-topic.
I just encountered the first ||shadow leviathan||, I didnt see it coming
It is not like the ghosties which are all luminescent
I like how ||Markiplier's reaction to deadzone is just pulling out a peeper.||
why is below zero's map so boring everything is so monotone
i bought it today and im thinking about a refund
like every biome is nearly the same
in SN every biome was so different
large open spaces and big differences between biome
here its just shallow ground and thats it
ikr
Subnautica has base potential biomes.
BZ is all steep cliff deep places or shallow places or places with too much icebergs.
The place with good land is super hard to get.
I prefer SN in every way.
same
im just about to make the seatruck and ive got under 3 hrs on the game so they might still give me a refund
i dont know, maybe i'll still find some way to enjoy BZ.
Do the dumbest stuff.
BZ is extremely lore driven compared to SN.
Like, VERY.
At least i heard.
It's under 2.
ik but they can still consider your request
what if subnautica 3 is like a mc version of subnautica
kinda like satisfactory without automatition
with a overall story but it’s a lot more open world
i def hate how rare table coral is now
It's not that rare, if you set up a scanner room about midway down in twisty bridges, you'll find lots
Don't worry then, I read that you're looking to get a refund anyway
yeah but idk if they accept im just under 3 hrs
I've got a few more hours than that, lol
had to alt f4 it didnt want to save or quit the game
25 mins wasted i made a mobile vehicle bay
yeah 2.5 hrs
they will prob accept
welp, there goes birthday present (if i want to refund, not so sure yet)
man i thought BZ will be as good as reg SN
With 2.5 hours, you just got your toes wet
I know what would cheer you up tho
Check out my pool floatie
[video from the Switch version]
nice lol
at first in my first 30 min i enjoyed the game
it looked so cool, especially the temperature
but as i went it started to get more and more monotone...
the biomes all look the same, and i dont feel motivated to explore
there also isnt a radio or anything that would make you explore the world more
Fax
i was looking for materials for a seatruck, finding PDAs everywhere and getting my seaglide stolen by sea monkeys
Did you meet the other characters?
There's one more
oh cool
well maybe tomorrow morning i can try it again one last time but
for now my decision is refund
ill do the final decision tomorrow
Why don't you go meet the other character, I think you'll like him
idk right now i have some alien distress call thing, delta site and i found the wreck of ||mercury-II|| (pls dont spoil me the story)
Why don't you check out that distress signal then
maybe i can watch some youtuber play to see what happens later
too deep, no vehicle and just basic oxygen tank + seaglide
i already drowned once
personally the only thing i like about this game is kind of the music
I see ... I think you should check out the signal before refunding tho
alr maybe tomorrow, rn i got 25 mins of progress deleted because of a bug
Playing the Steam version?
but i doubt they will consider my refund request after 3 hours passes
yeah got it on the current sale
They might consider it
i may give it a second chance tomorrow for now ill go watch markiplier play the game so time doesnt get counted onto my account
I think he played the early access version tho, it's quite different now
then some other youtuber
I thought you didn't want it spoiled tho
ill only watch a tiny bit over the part im on rn
i still gotta heavily consider if i actually want to keep the game
where did the fun begin for you?
for me the game is kind of monotone for me rn
Go to the source of the distress signal, a whole new story will unfold for you
Howdy
i have a question about the large room version of the alien containment
Does it still have a max of 10 fish?
i dunno never tried it
Well crap
Guess ill experiment then
Nvm its twenty per containment in the large room version
I forgot i couldve just looked it up on google
man now i want to give BZ another chance but i fear counting on more time in case i still want a refund and not being able to do it
I only got below zero because it was on sale on steam
same
i got it today as an early birthday gift
from my parents because i wanted it, i thought its gonna be as cool as SN
I wasnt boutta spend 30 bucks on the game when i could wait for it to go on sale
but the monotone of the biomes and the slow progression its just so unappealing
i want to give it a second chance and try playing one more time but ive got 2.5 hours (already past the insta-refund limit) and if i get more they might deny my refund appeal after considering it
question do you think there should be any compensation for these bugs in the game?
idk rn i have this alien SOS thing and someone told me to give it a second chance and i really want to but what if i dont like it... and they dont issue a refund...
and that would be a wasted birthday gift
If you look hard enough at the reflection on the alien containment module things then you can see some of the interior of the cyclops
It’s really hard to make out but it’s kinda neat
trust me the game gets better as you progress although i have little room to talk about that because im only 4 hours into the story and another 4 hours of just farming resources and building a base
Geez i am a slow typer sometimes
First game was better than second
As far as bugs go, bz is pretty standard.
I found weird place with signs
that's the ice worm test area
Has anyone else noticed that there is a lot less underwater plantable cosmetic flora in bz than sn?
Where should I build my base now
Yeah pretty sad
Deep twisty or at least try
Alrighty
It's almost as good as the first game@midnight lava
If it had the Cyclops it would be perfect
I got 40 hours deleted because of a bug once
Cyclops would be virtually useless due to leviathans not being as dangerous as in the first game (The most dangerous creature in the game is less of a threat than the Ghost Leviathan) and there not being many open areas to put a cyclops (Mainly just the east and west arctic biomes, tree spires, and maybe lilypads. And due to three of those biomes being rather bland/not being worth going to, it still wouldn't be worth it)
And for all uses a Cyclops would have, you can use Seatruck Modules
mkay
If the Deep Arctic didn't get scrapped however, a Cyclops would be 100% necessary considering what was planned to have been there
i need to say that i'm dissapointed that ||AL-AN let me leave with him without curing desease||
Hello, I know this has probably been asked a million times but I can't find a solution for PS4. I can't interact with anything, like the sea truck or even oxygen plants, anything that I can do?
You can just skip over that part of the story willy nilly
I have restarted the game and even my ps4
it's my 3rd or 4th game finishand i just thought I'll try doing itthistime and see what happens
I wish the void leviathan was actually a threat. It would make the crystal caves way more intense and cool to go through if you couldn’t just zap and go
you mean shadow leviathan?
Well he ate my prawn suit and made me go down to half health swimming with no prawn to my seatruck
I went in and expected it to be a big threat. It barely did anything, and after I made a scanner room and tracked it, it was practically irrelevant.
Tip: they don't target fish
?
they are very dedicated to murdering some random lady
The shadow leviathan is like when you kill the final boss and get to play them as a character
Unlike Squid Sharks and Chelicerates, they only target the player
Swimming 1000m to seatruck with a shadow leviathan behind you is scary
At least now i have no need to go to crystal caves
They're barely faster than a seaglide at best
tips:
prawn suit with good arms
scanner room
scanner room range upgrades (materials can be sourced from the crystal caves itself)
scanner room hud chip
after you get those things you're basically safe until you get 500m away from your scanner room
and if you pack materials and do a few trips you can make a second scanner room right outside of the first one's range
with a seatruck and storage module you could even do it in one trip
and since Shadow Leviathans don't seem to target anything but the player, you can easily get out of your seatruck, hide until it goes away, and then repair the seatruck
Theres one crystal area where it attacks and then goes around the crystal and comes back giving you time to repair thats how i got my first kill
I've been meaning to ask, do they stay dead forever or will I be wasting my prawn battery
If they stay dead forever it's hunting season
I checked the wiki and it's very vague on that
it mentions that they only respawn if killed by an npc but not whether it'll respawn if I leave the area and let it unload
you will find out soon
Just keep playing
anyone wanna play and vc?
What will happen?
Ive never seen anyone talk about a secret in crystal caves
Is it new?
story related
that's why nobody talks about it
Oh
I wish I never read that
zamn
I thought you had only been to the blue caves so far
The blue caves?
rip
the ones with marganite crystals or whatever
Oh
wanna play reece?
||there's a second section of the crystal caves with different crystals||
He's been talking about playing in vc
like discussing stuff
That's what I've been doing for 20 years
I'm glad I just saved. My game crashed. Again.
damn
do you want to play pika?
Arguable.
bring it on
after almost 2 years of it being on my wishlist
leaving this channel before i get spoiled anything lol
congrats
Don’t look in this channel at all until you finish the game unless you want spoilers
Play....?
Trying to focus on makin my base right now. Also being on different platforms doesn't help. :/
Since its so big it took me 3 hours to find a spot it woukd fit in.
ok so you don't want to
i do!
sure
I'm in the twisty bridges rn and scared and could use some company while I don't freak out
yep, I feel that one
okay I'm in vc rn
You get it in #subnautica-chat.
I found some too, I would assume it's just alien debris
Some (not this) points to important stuff
anyone want to vc and play im new to the game
I have never been more bored than I have been playing in this ice area. Do I have to keep playing here? I just aeem to endlessly keep going around and there is nothing but snow and those snow dogs. I've come across the security bunker, the frozen leviathan, etc. Is there anything else I have to do here to beat the game? I've gone to a few places with the spy penguin and have found nothing exciting. It's very frustrating to drive. I absolutely cannot stand the snowfox handling.
Sorry for the rant. I've been driving around this snow place for hours and I'm just wanting to move on but it feels like I am supposed to find something here that triggers another storyline event. It's just snow everywhere I go. It all looks the same
To minimize time in the arctic spires, here's a map of it. This is the area north of the bridge. You need a body part, up north
@true relic I just use the prawn suit
south of the bridge, you are probably done with. Although it's possible to cure the creature. Not required
I tried the prawn unit last might but then I fell into a hole and had a frustrating time porting all of the items (I had two storage mods on it filled 100%l) back.
I can't build wall planters. That's extremely lame.
Damn
So now I'm using the snowfox. Thanks for all of the help everyone :)
gotta find one to scan. In eg. Omega
Game glitched and didn't give me the blueprint when I scanned it and now I'm sitting here trying to scan it again and no dice.
I never got stuck before only when I got out on bounds
It isn't in my blueprints.
Do you have the blueprint?
Oh ok
The sleep module did spawn in my game
Yeah I fell into this hole with a ladder and a pool of water and below you can't squeeze the prawn through only yourself and I spent forever trying to grapple and jump above the ladder and nothing worked
Let me rephrase.
There are some scan-able ones the same place you get the plant shelf
It's "here", but it's not here.
i am bored and looking for someone to talk to well playing
It's in my blueprints, but not in the habitat builder.
And I saved right as I fell in like an idiot so there was no backing out
That is weird
I lost a hardcore world by falling in a hole that my prawn suit can’t jump out and I can’t jump out normally and then all the ground just disappeared
Didn't make any sense why it wouldn't show up in the builder but it did in the blueprints. Had me real confused for a second.
where do diamonds spawn
early game, I recommend deep twisty bridges, below 300m
You probably need the rebreather. Lots of o2 plants here
Talking to Me Or?
yes
i am bored and looking for someone to talk to well playing
There's only one aggressive dude down there, so the risk's like non-existent :P
I remember coming across a retracted bridge at some point. Do I have to go to the end of the biome to extend it?
I missed the oil container the first time I went there, took forever trying to figure out how to get across the bridge
Speedrunners build a tube and vertical tube under the north side to go up
or if careful, just a tube and top hatch
alright
You have to explore all. Same as first game
well that's thrown out of the window i already know the entire plot for the most part
waitwait even the ||Dunes|| in the first game??
what about them?
what about them
we have to explore them??
dunes are scary
i know. theyre the fuel of my nightmares
@true berry he means explore the below zero map
jk that would be ||Lava Zones and Lost River||
ooouh okok thanks :]
nah
anywhere with a reaper is just a scary since they aren't visible in night time
@eternal garnet does it live up to the first gamr
I've heard that the leviathans aren't really that scary
it might be less scary, but much of that is you expect the monsters.
Yes it's a great game. It's certainly more beautiful
ight
And the player character is a real looker
I mainly play subnautica for the building and horror aspect
You should enjoy base building then, there's more options in Sector Zero
ight
Where are you trying to go?
that's Phi, down to the left
To scan the body part that I need to scan or something
I thought that's what I did if you are referring to tbe pic you gave me earlier
Went from the channel, went right and then up north
wait. I',m not sure of directions. For the dock+bridge, go east
my map is entirely north of the bridge. You have not crossed it
Is the dock bridge below me in the picture I sent or is it way behind me
meaning you are south of the bridge at Phi
so go east. North-east maybe
Do I have to extend the bridge to continue to your map?
I don't have oil on me or anything, so do I have to go back to the main biome and first get the seeds?
yes. Or trick your way up. Not recommended
Oh ok. Well at least now I know why I seemed to endlessly drive around this place
seeds arent terribly far if you look below the dock
Ok cool
Is the dock next to me? I'm not finding anything besides frost vase seeda
Oh I thunk I found it
The one is a Squidshark. It is called a leviathan class of a smaller size. Does not do as much damage as a Leviathan.
There are 7 Leviathan that come up in PDA - Glow Whale, Chelicerate, Void Chelicerate, Shadow Leviathan, Ice Worm, Ventgarden, and Juvenile Ventgarden.
and also the frozen dude
Interesting.
They still havent fixed the large glass room dome yet.
Color is still incorrect.
how do yall think the state of the aurora is during the events of below zero?
Maybe the fires have burned out by now?
i would say, the fires are out, the upper areas have colapsed, shes rusted alot but still recognizable and maybe the port side has been destroyed due to a actual nuclear meltdown
According to in-game text, some salvage teams have been sent, there might be something left of it by the time they arrive, if the stalkers haven't eaten the whole thing
hah it would take them perhaps a million years to eat a 1.5 km long ship
Maybe someday we'll find out ... in a future title
titanium does not rust that fast
yeah but the time span between the games is 30 years or so isnt it?
two years
so no rust
One of the scans said titanium oxidizes at 1200 degrees celcius
so a little rust
Welp I must log out and sleep, GN all
Okay. Found the crystal caves, never been in here before not gonna lie.
I didn't think the shadow was in this biome...i thought he was in the fabricator.
And why aint there no kyanite. 😠
How Is this frozen sector able to reach 100°C. But a volcanic crater only reaches 71°C.
when the titan holefish
A fellow architect?
Does anyone know when the seatruck dock could possably come out
ehhh so yesterday my parents bought me BZ as an early birthday gift because i wanted it and the sale ends today, but thinking its going to be as good as subnautica, i dont like it. i have 2.5 hrs on it. should i just issue a refund request and buy another game, or give it a second chance but lower the chance of valve considering my refund valid if i choose to issue a refund
Why don't you like it?
the biomes are really monotone and theres like nothing to push you to explore like the radio in subnautica 1, SN1 was very diverse and so cool with big open spaces and big big big variety of biomes, here everything is either blue or gray and looks the same in every biome. plus due to bugs that didnt let me save my game i lost half an hour of progress
my parents just told me to refund it and use the money on something else but im still thinking about the refund
I'm on Xbox and I never encountered a game breaking bug. But I do agree with your other critiques. Subnautica 1 was great because of how open it was. Below Zero is more cramped because you're in the arctic
But you do get these points where it tells you to go and check out. The story is more straightforward
maybe i can goof around in creative a little, but other than that i just cant decide if i should refund now with a high chance of valve accepting the refund (2.5hrs), or giving it a second chance and if i dont like it, possibly not getting my refund accepted because of high time count
The main issues I have with Below Zero, is the seatruck, the lack of open space, and Robin
i also hate the lack of the abundance of creatures there were in SN1, like stalkers, sandsharks, bonesharks, etc. now everything is either regular fish or leviathan-class. also the rarity of table coral and it giving you 1 instead of 3-5 pieces is really annoying
i LOVE the music tho
There are creatures like those
Yes the table coral thing is annoying. But they spawn mainly around the coral bridges area
eh maybe i didnt see them because i only have 2.5 hours but still i wish the game had more open space and had more colours and diversity
and returning to the basic question... i still dont know if second chance or return
i think im better off issuing a refund now and just forgetting about the game
Flip a coin
If you're not enjoying it I'd say play it safe and get the refund
if you regret it you can just buy it again lol
well if it's on sale again
2.0 released yet??????
yeah but they wont give me my money back less thn 24hrs from now and the sale ends in 8 hrs
no
No
oh ffs
Well Subnautica and Below Zero are free on Xbox
you mean game pass?
Yes
thats not free lmao]
i have the ultimate but thats a bit expensive, but ig gives alot of stuff
The membership isn't free. But with the membership, you get alot of games for free
does the seatruck have a moonpool module
yh
the pda thing said so but it may not be added still
thats what i am waiting for
$15 is not expensive
That's ultimate
oh i meant cad
Oh ok
A "moonpool" module?
Basically a long moonpool for the seatruck. So you don't have to take it apart to put it in the moonpool. The seatruck moonpool will hold all the modules
my BZ tierlist
Tierlist for what?
scary creatures
Tbh, crashfish is in the 'slightly scary' one
no crashfish best fish
its my favourite SN creature
its funny
in SN1 i have 4 pet crashfish
garg doesnt exist
its a WIP mod for SN1
Crashfish is only scary when they come out of the little shell thingy
Otherwise theyre just little boom balls
for me theyre funny not scary they have a funny malicious smile on their face and explode
and you can hatch them and use as propulsion cannon ammo
idk
Play
Play
Play
Playyy
please help me i genuinely cannot find gold
uh ok fine i will but if i dont like it im returning the game
What types of outcrops are there-?
i hope they accept it at 3 hours or something
theres like 4 or 5 types of them
lol i was like chanting
in bz
oh dangit
im gonna try creative
UPDATE; i found gold :D
where do i put the snowfox hoverpad
Somewhere above water, where you want to use the snowfox
Just somewhere on land.
alr
alright ive now got 3.5 hours i played around a bit in creative
idk about this game... i'll think
im guessing the game gets better over time?
I think BZ is great, it’s just a bit different than Subnautica of course. But it has so many QoL improvements over the first game, it’s beautiful as well, it took time for the seatruck to grow on me but now I love its modularity
, and the ending (which I won’t spoil) just blew me away
alr
im thinking about either requesting a refund and giving valve a valid argument to refund me the game at 3.5 hours or give it a second chance on survival
im on that alien SOS thing
i mainly dont like how monotone the biomes are but apart from that everything is cool
You really should do the SOS part because the game doesn’t really start the main story (trust me) until you do that
Things will change, A LOT, once you do the SOS part @midnight lava
ik im watching a playthrough rn to see if i will want to play the game more
if not, ill issue a refund because it was meant to be my birthday gift from my parents but i dont like it, i thought it was gonna be as good as SN1 so i wanted it
If you’re already there, I’d do the SOS it doesn’t take long but I understand what you mean. I’m just saying, you haven’t really experienced a BIG part of the story yet
Gold is in Calaverite outcrops, they look like little bread loafs
ok i decided im returning BZ at 3.5 hours
i hope they accept the refund
the game is extremely monotone and boring, the map is smaller than the regular subnautica, and the creatures are boring too
Did you enjoy it at all?
no
i only like the seatruck, music and thats it
maybe in a year or two i'll return to it
Very well then
ive watched half of a full competion of BZ video
its all swimming around searching for parts
Well that ruins the point or even playing the game doesn't it
with the addition of the occasional giant shrimp, weird glowing black squid and big iceworm
sure, i'd play it if it was like 4 or 5 dollars but its overpriced even on sale for now in my opinion
I don't mind the price since you have to remember that this is an extremely impressive map all handcrafted by only a handful of people
BZ may also be suffering from 'sequel syndrome' -- where the first game was so impressive, the sequel will never measure up, even if it's better
ik the map is not bad but i miss the big open spaces and huge diversity of the map in original subnautica
I hope the threequal is alright
yeah sometimes the producer learns that whatever you release, just get some good reviews and you get lots of money
the first ever game is BEAUTIFUL but the sequel will most of the time disappoint
I play both games, as I enjoy the difference
i mean BZ isnt even that bad in my opinion but i dont like that everything looks exactly the same and that the story is now just ||having an alien in your head and making him a body||
i didnt see the ending tho
alr transferred my savegames into a folder of mine which stores savegames from deleted games incase i ever return to them
now i'll issue the refund
tho i'll actually say that i enjoyed the first 2 hours but when i launched it again in the evening i explored more and just realised that everything is all the same and lost the will to play
i had 10 hours in below zero, just got it, and now my saves is completely gone-
cant recover it either so time to restart lol.
iirc you have to have less than an hour played
whoops
im just mad i lost all my progress lol
i had just ||met margreet at her base||
rip
How did it happen?
idk since they denied the refund maybe i'll find fun in the game but for now its a lesson for me to not exceed 2 hours anymore
saved last night then turned off my pc? i guess i need to always quit after
You shut down after the save completed?
yup
That's unusual, if the save completes then it should be ok ... maybe something else is the culprit
well the .bin files were empty so
whoops
This channel is active?
Using Steam?
For the moment, lol
True that
Did you see my snowman pics yesterday?
No
