and momentum powered chargers

next current
#

Because of the lone squidshark?

gaunt trench
#

nope, I just spent 30 minutes there. trying to find the damn artifact

#

and turns out I passed it on several occasions

next current
#

XD

#

That's fair.

glossy prairie
#

lily paddler just intoxicated me on something

#

i guess thats what they do

glossy prairie
#

just missing one more egg now

median cairn
glossy prairie
#

uh oh

#

heres the last one

#

cant do caps btw @median cairn

median cairn
#

also y does my seatruck keep getting stuck

#

on nothing

glossy prairie
#

cursed storage

crimson anvil
#

more like LSD

#

also the seatruck dock in experimental is entirely broken lol, the modules dont fit into it

gaunt trench
#

seems like if you have a lot of modules it gets progressively more glitchy

median cairn
#

oh no, this thing isn't even at the top of the scale

gaunt trench
#

tbf it should be lower than that

#

it's probably one of the weakest leviathans

gaunt trench
#

like it hits something

crimson anvil
#

except it doesnt

gaunt trench
#

it happens later on in the dock more tbh

crimson anvil
#

well i thought the point of the dock was that you could put the truck in and then access the modules as well

#

unlike the moonpool

eternal garnet
#

but you can. Can you not drive in, or is it just tricky

glossy prairie
#

now i wait for all my creature eggs to hatch

crimson anvil
#

ig i'll try next experimental release

next current
#

Yeah. Ben Prunty did such a good job.

rancid pawn
#

anyone know what to do after turning off the radio tower? i know i have to go back to terminal but where is that?

glossy prairie
#

terminal is at the ladder where you went up

glossy prairie
#

look at this guy with his fancy graphics card

modest pagoda
#

My gpu (at least we think it is) makes one of my monitors go black for like 2 seconds randomly

glossy prairie
#

gt 1030 is better tho

old inlet
#

I dunno what to do at the mission "Pilot - last seen"

#

It is like 200m deep and I don't understand what to do

#

The story is hard to follow

stray sage
#

Your supposed to go into the cave and find a base there

modest pagoda
#

Go down in the caves to like 350m

old inlet
#

Bruh I keep dying because of oxygen

stray sage
#

Look for oxygen plants

old inlet
#

Only found one

stray sage
#

Do you have a vehicle

#

Seatruck

old inlet
#

Nope

stray sage
#

Get a seatruck first

old inlet
#

Does items despawn?=

stray sage
#

I mean you don’t have to but it will make trips easier

stray sage
old inlet
#

Why does those alien stones that flashes green make a sounds like they detected an intruder

broken badge
#

It’s an SOS signal

#

dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot

proper idol
#

anyone else's weather patterns change super fast?

#

enameled glass is so expensive 😭

glossy prairie
#

not really

proper idol
#

diamond

#

pre drill arm diamonds are hard to get

glossy prairie
#

gather a bunch of everything when you go looking for resources instead of just the few you need

glossy prairie
proper idol
#

ong?

#

damn

glossy prairie
#

if you just stick to the caves and floor the squidsharks wont bother you

proper idol
#

i was looking over at koppa

#

alright then

#

thank you

glossy prairie
#

i think theres like 3 squidsharks down there?

old inlet
#

In how big radius can I search for the pilot?

glossy prairie
#

more importantly diamond, gel sacks, 2 sea truck modules

proper idol
old inlet
#

I asked about the radius, is it below the huge space wreck?

proper idol
#

i have no idea

#

but is it down a lot

glossy prairie
eternal garnet
glossy prairie
#

where you want to be is about 350m down so you want at least your sea truck depth module mk1

old inlet
#

Alr ty, how do I repair my seatruck btw

glossy prairie
#

repair tool

old inlet
#

Oof

glossy prairie
#

same goes for your prawn and your base should it develop any holes

proper idol
#

i was legit like fully black screen

#

and i managed to get into my seatruck

glossy prairie
#

nice

proper idol
#

i can finally get the depth module mk1 lel

#

anyways cya

glossy prairie
#

the only time i have "died" in my save was when i couldnt get back to my sea truck so i just reloaded the save

old inlet
#

Dunno how to get diamonds, and I don't have that drill upgrade I saw you typing about

eternal garnet
glossy prairie
#

there are a ton of normal diamnds in deep twisty bridges

eternal garnet
#

You can swim there, with the rebreather, becauswe o2 plants

old inlet
#

Can I find a map ingame?

eternal garnet
#

There are two crude maps ingame, scannable on walls

glossy prairie
#

seaglide has a map

eternal garnet
#

your first map was inside Delta. you have been there probably

old inlet
#

But it doesn't show the biomes right?

glossy prairie
#

google ones will, delta doesnt

old inlet
#

So there is no way to know it except googling it?

glossy prairie
#

to find deep twisty bridges just go down as far as you can in the twisty bridges

#

about 250-300m down you should find some narrow cracks in the ground, go into them and you'll be there

old inlet
#

Still don't know where the twisty bridges are 😛 Subnautica shouldn't be dependable on google to get info

#

Doesn't sound like Subnautica

glossy prairie
#

tiwsty bridges are your spawn location

old inlet
#

Whutttt

glossy prairie
#

the part where you want to be is where it doesnt look like it has a bottom

old inlet
#

Like underneath my small capsule base?

glossy prairie
#

i'll show you

proper idol
#

The bit with the coral bridges

glossy prairie
#

if you're on pc you can also hit f1 to pull up a menu that shows your biome and everything

proper idol
#

The long black ones

glossy prairie
#

its there on console but im not sure what button it is

old inlet
#

Ok I will just google it, I don't want to waste your time on me, I just thought Sub should had an ingame map that tells the player the biomes

proper idol
#

Very close to droppod

old inlet
proper idol
#

Yeah, your drop pod

#

Some areas of twisty bridges don’t go to deep twisty bridges tho

glossy prairie
#

you're looking for an area that looks a little like this

#

just keep going down and down and down

proper idol
#

Can the sea truck fit into the koppa mining site?

glossy prairie
#

there is a way, but not from the front entrance

eternal garnet
eternal garnet
#

Bring at least MK1 depth

glossy prairie
#

i think at its deepest its 300m

proper idol
#

It’s further than 300m I believe

glossy prairie
#

might be 400?

proper idol
#

Like 400m or something

glossy prairie
#

theres oxygen plants down there so no need to worry

old inlet
#

How am I meant to upgrade my seatruck to mk1 if I can't get diamonds then xd, but meatie said there is oxygen plants

#

Alr

proper idol
#

Get one then go back

#

Repeat, I recommend sea truck

old inlet
#

I need two diamonds I think

#

Ah nvm

proper idol
#

Sea truck is basically needed

#

Makes swimming 100 instead of 250

old inlet
#

TwistyBrodges_shallow

#

Ok so to find the first droppod I will need to go north

#

Ops I'm in sparsearctic now, I guess you meant the second droppod

glossy prairie
#

theres only one

old inlet
#

Isn't it the one in arctickelp biome?

glossy prairie
#

what are you looking for?

#

theres only one drop pod

stoic surge
glossy prairie
#

all my eggs are hatching!

stoic surge
#

I mean, fishes

glossy prairie
#

eye jelly and titan holefish just hatched

#

just waiting on rock puncher, cryptosuchus, and glow whale

#

my last 4 just hatched

stoic surge
#

That glow whale egg was quite large, yes?

glossy prairie
#

forgot about the brute shark

glossy prairie
stoic surge
glossy prairie
#

baby glow whales are amazing

#

the guy above the squidshark's tail

stoic surge
#

So tiny -- for now

glossy prairie
#

baby penglings are adorable

stoic surge
#

My containments are just fulla bladderfish

glossy prairie
#

i think ive hatched every single egg in the game now

#

once ive collected all the jukebox tracks i think i'll beat the game

#

still have a bunch of things to scan but im not a masochist

stoic surge
glossy prairie
#

no not really

#

do you find that you have a problem with how much water the filtration suit gives you?

#

sometimes its not a problem but other times half my inventory is filled with reclaimed water

old inlet
stoic surge
#

It balances out if you eat just nutrient blocks, but that's not practical, as most foods provide some water also -- I can't even tell you how many reclaimed waters have gone into my trash cans

glossy prairie
#

drop pod (the guy you come out of and the game gives a marker for right off the bat) should spawn in the twisty bridges

glossy prairie
#

i wish that water didnt cap at 100 and instead worked the same way as food does

stoic surge
glossy prairie
#

more consumption = more water

#

not sure thats the way the suit works tho

old inlet
#

Ohh, droppod is the starter base?

stoic surge
glossy prairie
#

ahh

old inlet
#

I thought it was a supply drop, my bad, thank you

glossy prairie
#

just what does this peeper think its doing?

#

take a ride in the prawn?

stoic surge
#

He wants to pilot the epic mech

old inlet
#

AH AHHAAH Omfg diamonds is really easy to find

glossy prairie
#

yes

#

this is my current diamond collection and im not going to need anymore

old inlet
#

So northwest of the delta island?

old inlet
eternal garnet
#

that's for pilot's home

old inlet
#

Yea

#

But are you sure? if I go nw from the delta base, it is the way home to drop pod

eternal garnet
#

no. the pilot last seen beacon.

old inlet
#

Oh alr

weak vessel
#

How do i reach this?

eternal garnet
#

propulsion cannon, or leave it

old inlet
eternal garnet
#

yes

old inlet
#

Margurit*

#

Ohh alr ty

eternal garnet
#

Marguerit

old inlet
#

Fricking jumpscare

#

I needed that

eternal garnet
#

Don't miss a truck item on the floor

carmine bobcat
#

best unusual location for a main survival base for a second playthrough?

eternal garnet
#

On the larger moon, circling above. I don't know

stray sage
#

The void

carmine bobcat
#

inside the volcano could be interesting

#

I've done void bases in Subnautica on the underside of the game world, amusing to see how much reinforcement is needed to have the base not flood, but not very practical

stoic surge
#

[also not practical]

#

My favorite spot is just off the east coast of delta island, it's a central location, lots of minerals, and thermal vents to tap for power

latent aurora
#

Tbh delta island is cool and all but I'd like it better if there was a good place to make a base

latent aurora
#

Hm?

#

Oh

stoic surge
#

Here ... [ignore my Xmas decoration]

latent aurora
#

It's not enough for the kinds of bases I make

stoic surge
#

As I play the Switch version, I must keep my bases humble, or bad stuff happens

latent aurora
#

For a switch player the massive bases I make are handled well

stoic surge
#

fps can really drop tho

latent aurora
#

It doesn't for me

#

My switch Is efficient

stoic surge
#

i see

#

You probably upgraded it with arcitect tech

#

ion cube powered

latent aurora
#

My main base in my first world is handled very well for being very large with two large rooms an observatory many stacked multi-purpose rooms for my massive aquarium and two moonpools

#

My game doesn't crash any more than usual

stoic surge
#

Mine doesn't crash nearly as much as before the last update, but my fps drops alot if I make big bases

#

Besides, I might get lost in a base like yours

latent aurora
#

It's very simple

#

For it's size it doesn't look very great

#

The order of access is moonpools then scanner room and control room power sources then to the right of that is the aquarium which leads into the large rooms

#

I'm gonna make an observatory soon

stoic surge
#

I don't really like the base building mechanics, I'd rather explore

latent aurora
#

I already explored so I'm making a massive base

#

I have 3 other bases and working on a fifth

hushed jungle
latent aurora
#

You can destroy any snowman

hushed jungle
#

becuase it my old world I coudn't destroy them

latent aurora
#

Damn that's crazy

hushed jungle
#

well it was before the full release so probably jsut a bug

stoic surge
latent aurora
latent aurora
#

trivalveblue what about these boys? trivalvegold

hushed jungle
#

i had 5 now i have like 2 or 3

latent aurora
#

Trivalves?

hushed jungle
#

stupid thermal vent fishes killed them

hushed jungle
latent aurora
#

WHAT?!?!

#

The chelicerates?

hushed jungle
#

no

latent aurora
#

Cryptosuchus?

hushed jungle
#

i think those

#

the black ones which attack weirdly

latent aurora
#

Imma kill each and every one of them and throw away their eggs

hushed jungle
#

i thought about doing the same

latent aurora
#

Do it

#

Thankfully Gerald doesn't kill my trivalves once he does I will delete him from my games files

#

Of course chat goes inactive like usual

stray sage
#

What’s the topic?

latent aurora
#

Bases rn

stray sage
#

Ok

latent aurora
#

Ice worm

stray sage
#

Oh

#

Do trivalves have 10k hp like cuddlefish

latent aurora
#

Idk

stray sage
latent aurora
#

If you jail break it

stray sage
#

Wdym

latent aurora
#

Idk

stray sage
#

🗿

latent aurora
#

🗿 JanitorHead

stray sage
#

I need to get a trivalve

#

Still haven’t gotten one

latent aurora
#

Gold or blue?

stray sage
#

There are colours

latent aurora
#

There's two colors gold and blue

stray sage
#

Ah il prob get both

latent aurora
#

Which do you want first?

stray sage
#

Gold

latent aurora
#

Deep lily pads cave

stray sage
#

Ah ok

#

Is modding subnautica worth it or are all mods bad

latent aurora
#

Most are good some are bad look into the mod community for more info

stray sage
#

Ah ok what do you do after you’ve finished the game some guy told me stuff but he said it ages ago and I ain’t gonna go through all them texts

latent aurora
#

After you complete the story?

stray sage
#

Yep

latent aurora
#

Anything

stray sage
#

Like?

#

Ngl I wanna do something stupid and dangerous

latent aurora
stray sage
stray sage
stoic surge
stray sage
latent aurora
stray sage
latent aurora
#

Crystal caves, glacial basin, deep lily pads cave, and shallows those are just my first save file though

stray sage
#

Ah ok

#

Can you build a base near the giant ice worm

latent aurora
#

Yes

stoic surge
#

Not advisable tho

stray sage
latent aurora
#

I don't recommend it I have one in the save I'm currently working on

stoic surge
latent aurora
stray sage
latent aurora
#

Ice worm can kill you while you're in base or prawn suit at low health

#

You're not allowed to move for more than 2 seconds

#

And if you run my boy

#

You're dead

stray sage
#

Ah ok

#

Why did u put a base there plus trivalves there

stoic surge
#

Walk without rhythm

latent aurora
#

I was wondering what a base there would be like

#

Not fun

#

If you put your base high enough ice worm is less of a problem

#

Water filtration machine still works its slower though

stray sage
#

Ima do it

latent aurora
#

And no salt

stray sage
#

Does ice worm kill trivalve

latent aurora
#

Idk yet

stray sage
#

Ah ok

latent aurora
#

They don't clip through the ground thankfully

stray sage
#

Lol

latent aurora
#

Neither do my pengling and penwing

stray sage
#

Tbh I might put more work in my below zero save then the original subnautica just for less glitches

latent aurora
#

More things to build with

stray sage
#

And might mess around with modding as well

latent aurora
#

Do that for sure

stray sage
#

Oh yeah btw what’s this 2.0 update that both games are getting

latent aurora
#

It's a big update with bug fixes and more things to build with

#

I don't know anything past that

stray sage
#

Alr

latent aurora
#

You should ask about it in #subnautica-chat as well so you know more about that one as well

modest pagoda
latent aurora
modest pagoda
#

Yeah, ask meatie if you can

latent aurora
#

Does it have a set release date yet?

stray sage
#

Will bz only be getting the new game mode

modest pagoda
#

Yes and no

stray sage
#

Wdym no

latent aurora
#

I think it's one that only works with BZ features so probably

modest pagoda
#

Wait, no and no

stray sage
#

Damn it

modest pagoda
stray sage
#

I got below zero via the Xbox gamepass not steam so can’t go experimental

#

I got the og subnautica on steam so I was hoping that was gonna get something cool

modest pagoda
#

I don’t want to go into exper because of the bug issues with main saves

stray sage
latent aurora
#

Are there theories for when it should be released?

stray sage
latent aurora
#

I heard it might be released this month or next month

stray sage
#

Maybe

#

It’s nothing to be to hyped about though the only main thing is a new gamemode. a new docking for seatruck won’t be something Amazing either and the original subnautica is just getting things bz already had unless devs are hiding some content and haven’t said everything 🤔

stoic surge
stray sage
stoic surge
hushed jungle
#

what update

#

new docking?

stoic surge
#

BZ will be first

#

Welp, I am lost ... I went up on top of the cliffs near acacia forest, started going north-east, now it's completely dark, no idea where I am

#

It's daytime now, but so much haze I still lost

#

I think I'm next to the base of the mountain, maybe?

#

Yay, after going south I have returned to my crash site

#

Oh dear, got stuck and had to quit n reload ... good thing I saved before I started my journey of stupid

If I kill a rock puncher, does it ever respawn?

#

wow

frail cloak
#

Do crashfish respawn in their plants?

bold monolith
#

Yes.

glass falcon
#

Or we'll get a different build?

proper idol
#

theres a drill arm in the koppa mining site that you cant scan 😭

#

or is it a glitch?

frail cloak
ivory thicket
#

Arent there multiple drill arm fragments in the Koppa mining site?

midnight lava
#

im giving BZ a second chance after they denied my refund

#

made my first seatruck, tryna find the entrance to ||alien SOS||

bold monolith
#

Why did they deny your refund?

#

Also, who are they? Steam, Epic?

midnight lava
#

anyway i cant find the entrance i'll go to the ||pilot location thing||

old inlet
#

How do I get the paralell processing unit?

deep kettle
old inlet
#

Why didn't the story tell me that

deep kettle
#

No idea if it does or not, been some time since I played BZ 🙂

midnight lava
#

hmm actually i kinda like BZ now

#

i gave it a second chance and its not that boring

#

i got ||al-an|| and im searching for diamonds and lithium for seatruck depth mk1

old inlet
#

Also the detector says there is a fragment right here, but there is nothing, and it just keeps bringing me to the coral bridge

deep kettle
#

It's likely inside off something, it happens unfortunately.

old inlet
#

Lmao and not it is inside this rock

stoic surge
midnight lava
#

anyway i'll try to get materials for seatruck depth mk.1 cause im back from walking my dog

stoic surge
#

Is there a certain mineral you need? Maybe I can give a pointer

midnight lava
#

also if you dont know today i gave the game a second chance and well... its not that bad

#

the only thing that bothers me is the rarity of gold and my crappy FPS

#

i have ||al-an|| now

stoic surge
#

Lithium - ||purple vent area||

midnight lava
#

i'll also make a mineral detector to find stuff faster

stoic surge
#

btw have you built a ||pengi-bot|| yet?

midnight lava
#

and after getting a laser cutter i'll go to ||mercury-II||

midnight lava
stoic surge
#

IF you have the pengi-bot

midnight lava
#

ye

modest pagoda
#

I just went to deep twisty and got more than I need

stoic surge

Plus in the area, are a large number of calaverites

glossy prairie
#

kaveta i think you should know i finally got that upgrade

midnight lava
glossy prairie
#

i passed over it dozens of times because i thought that it was the afterburner upgrade

glossy prairie
stoic surge
#

Ah ok, coolness

midnight lava
#

you mean power increase

#

horsepower upgrade lol

#

kinda makes sense

#

but do they still use HP in the 23rd century

stoic surge
#

Maybe they should call it fish-power

#

because it's a sub

midnight lava
#

yeah i think horses are extinct by then

#

in SN its stated in the pda after scanning the cuddlefish that they are similar to the extinct earth dolphins

stoic surge
#

I think there was a message in the OG that dolphins had gone extinct

#

Ha, jinx!

modest pagoda
#

It’s a unit of measurement, not actual horses😂

midnight lava
#

we know

#

a real horse actually has 4 mechanical horsepower

modest pagoda
#

Interesting

stoic surge
#

Idk I've never owned a horse

true berry
#

same

midnight lava
#

same

stoic surge
#

But I do own a Seatruck, and yesterday I renamed her 'the CRUSHER"

modest pagoda
#

For omega lab?

midnight lava
#

they dont go into moonpool i think

stoic surge
#

because that's what she does to cryptosuchus whenever I see them

modest pagoda
stoic surge
#

the big noisy buggers must DIE

midnight lava
midnight lava

Go to delta island and walk around for a bit

im only just after the ||al-an|| injection

gonna go eat and when im back i might play bz or something else so brb

#

back

#

whats your favourite passive creature

#

currently i'd say glow whale

#

its cool

stoic surge
#

I like the peaceful creatures

#

there's not many tho

midnight lava
#

yes

#

the sea monkey is a cool concept, but if it steals your seaglide when low on o2...

glossy prairie
#

aitr bladder is your best friend

midnight lava
#

yeah the air bladder is a cool concept aswell, but it kinda makes the game easier than regular subnautica sometimes

glossy prairie
#

back in the start of my save i could dive down as deep as i liked but then just use air bladder once i got 10 secs left

bold monolith
#

They can steal your air bladder too. If I would have to nerf something it's clearly the perimeter defense system.

#

And the Seatruck damage also.

#

It makes sense ramming into a cryptosuchus is an insta-death for them, but from a gameplay perspective it doesn't feel right.

carmine bobcat
#

Well great, when I thought That I was done with bugs in this game, The entire map then deloaded.

bold monolith
#

You'll be done with the bugs when you'll stop playing.

carmine bobcat
#

I believe I might do it now.

next current
glossy prairie
#

you can consume the oxygen in it

#

i think its like 15 seconds so its kind of useful

glossy prairie
#

scanner room also does a really good job for collecting rexources

next current
next current
fresh pilot
#

how difficult is bz compared to subnautica

stray sage
fresh pilot
#

cool

stable ridge
# fresh pilot cool

Bz holds your hands like a baby and tells you what to do while Subnautica throws you on an alien planet with one goal: survive
(Personally this is my experience so it may not match others or your own)

glossy prairie
#

that sounds about right

#

pda should give you a single message saying "current objective: survive: once you land on the planet

eternal garnet
#

BZ stops holding your hand mid game

next current
#

I wanna REAL challenge.

old inlet
#

What am I meant to do after talking to Marguerit in her greenhouse?

glossy prairie
#

explore, there still 2/3 of the story ahead of you too

fresh pilot
#

so if i beat subnautica in 42 ish hours even though i did a bunch of major fk ups in the wrong place, youre saying i should beat in like 30?

#

odd question but yea

glossy prairie
#

im a little over 30 hours right now

#

probably going to beat it once i get all the jukebox tracks

#

just dont have the motivation to play it right now

glossy prairie
fresh pilot
#

fair enough

young portal
#

so how do i swim deepeer? i run out of oxygen. i got the tank, but is there a way to increase it?

glossy prairie

there are a few different tanks, with the highest giving you 225 seconds of oxygen

eternal garnet
#

there's a Large and also an Ultra tank. And rebreather helps with 100+ meters

glossy prairie
#

sea truck and prawn will carry you for the deep parts once you get them tho

young portal
#

awesome! so how do i get the increase?

eternal garnet
#

You find em. the Large is in twisty bridges by a small building at 120m depth

glossy prairie
#

high capacity tank is somewhere in the twisty bridges

#

ultra high is more late game

young portal
#

my tank goes to 75, is that the high capacity tank?

glossy prairie
#

yes

#

no

#

high capacity tank is 125

young portal
#

ok, so i keep exploring. 😄

glossy prairie
#

yes

thick nimbus
#

Are pengwings supposed to do a ton of damage because I just got instakilled

eternal garnet
#

no, but if there are many of them, and you take a baby... death

Thanks.

late citrus
#

is it bad that I find the travelling to and from precursor artifacts really tedious? they always seem to be awkward to get to and I’m really struggling to find the one in the area with the big boi worm, I have found the phasegate to phi robotics (which I hadn’t found previously)

glossy prairie
#

not really

#

they're supposed to be a little redious

late citrus
#

ah okay cool, otherwise game is very epic

#

also sorry am I meant to have the snowfox by now, I have 2 fragments but idk where to find more

glossy prairie
#

fragments are all over the basin \

#

the area behind phi robotics

#

prawn is better tho

fresh pilot
#

oh,i see it now

gaunt trench
#

guys, we need to agree on one thing.

Spy Pengling AL-AN would be cute

fresh pilot
#

wth

gaunt trench
#

tbh snowfox gets damaged on thin air

glossy prairie
gaunt trench
#

still not comparable to the snowfox

glossy prairie
#

with the grapple arm i achieve speeds that make the ice worms have no clue where i am because im already outside of that area of the spires

gaunt trench
#

I legit forgot you can take a prawn suit on the snow

glossy prairie
#

grapple the ground and then time your jump right and you go zooming

#

if physics worked correctly i would have broken the prawn suit from running it into walls in the basin and arctic spires

thick nimbus
#

Are there ice worms just in the open areas of the spires or are they also in the area right after the bridge?

thick nimbus
#

I might just be in my head but I swear I heard it

stray sage
#

||Just a question but what are ion cubes for? I finished the game and cant find a use for them? ||

bold monolith

One body part requires it if my memory is correct.

You're right.

bold monolith

It's an older version, the glass is more fragile.

stray sage
#

Smaller map

bold monolith

You're right though, it doesn't make much sense as the databank entry might be the exact same as SN1.

#

Ie: same model.

Should I buy BZ now or wait for sale

I think it’s good enough to buy now if you’re interested!

I love this game, but honestly... I think a price decrease should be considered.

Is that the lighthouse?

i still just suck at the game and have no idea what i am doing. still looking for silver to make a wiring kit to make a habitat builder 🙂

how do i get to the || Body cache||

#

ping me if u have the answer

young portal
#

noooo i died and lost my silver 😦 this game sucks haha

odd hill
#

i also had a sea glide

young portal
#

ouch!

#

this game is above my gamer skill haha

#

so i emptied out the battery of my seaglide, how do i put another one in?

young portal

meaning?

#

i just let the sea monkey steal it. will make another seaglide lol

Yep I like big bases and cannot lie

#

I'm AL-AN and I know it

stoic surge
#

I just have an outpost in the spot I mentioned, really just for restocking as I pass by

latent aurora
#

Restocking, I would assume on food so it's a greenhouse?

stoic surge
#

and Steam Powered, lol

latent aurora
#

Hm steam powered

#

On the efficiency scale it's an 8/10

stoic surge
latent aurora
#

I didn't know they had a constant high temperature I thought it was just with the steam coming out

stoic surge
#

That's true for Robin, but it's constant for machineries

latent aurora
#

Huh

#

Humans are very inefficient with temperature

stoic surge
#

We are exothermic, after all

latent aurora
#

For a 10/10 score it would be that it wasn't needed at all but with humans needing food and water to survive I guess a 10/10 would make sense for humans

stoic surge
#

I'm still trying to figure out where the hoverpad gets its power from

latent aurora
#

The base

#

How do thermal plants power the base without wiring?

stoic surge
#

But I've built a hoverpad nowhere near a base, it still generates power somehow

latent aurora
#

Its cryo powered

stoic surge
#

powered by cold??

latent aurora
#

Yes

stoic surge
#

what the hek

#

Alterra tech is magical, yes

latent aurora
#

Yes very much

#

Ion Power is more efficient though

stoic surge
#

Unless your crushed while mining ingredients

latent aurora

That was one guy

stoic surge

Oh yeah

aka the best leviathan

#

is there anything else on that island for me after i find the phi labs, frozen dude, and architect artifact?

#

cuz im not sure if i still need to wander around with those things

#

nvm found more stuff

#

can i survive these if i walk and pause and walk and pause

broken monolith

I was looking info on removed stuff, man i'd have loved to see a sea emperor on any zone of sector zero

almost died of cold but it works

what do i do after visiting the greenhouse? idk how to progress cuz alan doesnt want to call me

strong radish
#

have you been to the frozen wasteland section

rancid pawn
#

no

strong radish
#

well do that

#

theres a ||component ||

rancid pawn
#

oh

#

its at phi robotics island?

nimble needle
#

frozen wasteland? ||that the glacial spires?||

strong radish
#

yeah

nimble needle
#

ah yes. fun times.

strong radish
#

bring a snowfox

nimble needle
#

yeah the snowfox makes it more fun

sharp vale
#

I have searched all over phi island. I've set up a base of my own at the phi robotics center, and have searched all over the area, but I cannot find any path at all to the frozen leviathan. what am I doing wrong? It said Phi excavation site, is that not near phi robotics?

nimble needle
#

also easier because no freezing and whatnot but also more fun

nimble needle
strong radish
sharp vale
nimble needle
#

no it isn't

nimble needle
#

that's it?

sharp vale
#

it's useless to me.

nimble needle
#

have you seen any other organisms besides snow stalkers?

sharp vale
#

penglings

nimble needle
#

anything else?

sharp vale
#

no, what else is there?

nimble needle
#

noteworthy plants?

sharp vale
#

peppers...

nimble needle
#

you haven't gone deep enough then

strong radish
#

go deeper until you find weird trees

nimble needle
#

yes the map shows a region with weird trees

sharp vale
#

well i can't go deeper. I've gone as deep as I can go and I've hit a dead end

proper idol
#

yowzers

sharp vale
#

i definitely haven't found any trees

#

well i don't know those other ways. that's kind of the problem

proper idol
#

its such a grind to get to the prawn suit chick lmao

#

im getting the mkII module

#

depth module*

nimble needle
#

go as far as you can and hug the walls of the glacier. check every cave and cranny you can find.

#

i don't quite remember how to get there in specific but i think you gotta go through some sort of cave. might even be an underwater component too.

sharp vale
#

i kinda need something specific at this point. i'm lost.

nimble needle
#

iirc there is an underwater portion. you should find a pool further down with snow stalkers and pengwings. try diving into that pool and see where it takes you.

sharp vale
#

i read the map, didn't help. I searched throroughly, got mauled by snow stalkers, searched again, found nothing

proper idol
#

loki are you sure youre even on the island?

sharp vale
#

i'm at phi robotics right now

proper idol
#

just continue to search

sharp vale
#

i don't know how i'd not be

proper idol
#

find a video of someone going to it and cross reference if you want

nimble needle
#

here's a map of the region. you're at phi robotics which is the green point in the middle. you want to reach the glacial forest which is the purple trees. helpful so far?

proper idol
#

how many ||ion cubes|| are needed to finish the game?

sharp vale
#

this looks nothing like the region i've been exploring. how is that even possible?

proper idol
nimble needle
sharp vale
proper idol
#

i dunno

#

get a youtube video

#

thats what helps me

sharp vale
nimble needle
#

anyways assuming north is up you can take the southwards passage with the pool in that being the pool with the snow stalkers and their caves. you can go up via naturally formed ramps to go above the frozen waterfall. there it should take you to the forest

sharp vale
#

it doesn't show topography

nimble needle
#

alternatively you can take the northern passage which is accessed via the small tunnels you go through in order to get to phi in the first place.

nimble needle
carmine bobcat
#

hi im new to below zero tbh i cant play it cuz my game crash on starting someone can help?

u have a good pc?

nimble needle
sharp vale
#

which frozen waterfall?

nimble needle
#

at the snow stalker pool

carmine bobcat
sharp vale
proper idol
nimble needle
#

there's only one of importance. it's quite deep and leads to an underwater cave system.

proper idol
#

check the recommended specs and ur specs

carmine bobcat
#

everything is ok but ram is the problem

proper idol
#

try closing all tabs except for the game and see

#

is prawn suit chicks base near the pilot last seen signal?

nimble needle
#

if this map helps better this is another one provided that's far more detailed and provides topography. the green symbol represents phi robotics.

#

the glacial basin is a big circle but you haven't made the full circuit yet

sharp vale
#

ok, somehow i've stumbled on the antidote while looking for the levi

#

i've been traveling on the snowfox

#

nearly died about a dozen times in the process... and i'm completely lost

proper idol
#

i hate how the game becomes so laggy after putting textures up to 4

ivory thicket
sharp vale
#

i've tried video tutorials that just left me more confused

#

I'm trying to get there from phi robotics. from waht i could tell chemical apes was no where near the robotics site

#

i've pretty much given up on video tutorials.. what would actually be really helpful are pictures and text

#

but i can't find any guides like that

#

and just got mauled by snow stalkers again. i got lost big time.

proper idol
#

skill issue

sharp vale
#

actually yes

#

I have absolutely no sense of direction

#

I couldn't navigate my way out of a one room house

#

this is why video guides and a very bad map are not helpful to me

#

why pictures and text would be so much more helpful

bold monolith
#

When you look at the entrance of phi, you have a ladder on the right.

#

Use it, then continue straight ahead until you see water.

#

Follow the path, you should reappear where the purple trees are.

#

You'll see a radio tower.

#

It's there.

#

It's the easiest way to get where the frozen leviathan is.

ivory thicket
#

Try this. It helped me find the leviathan

#

This video shows how to find the Frozen Creature / Leviathan aka the Phi Excavation Site, as well as Parvan's Bunker, in the Glacial Basin from your Lifepod in Subnautica Below Zero.
Short, sweet, and efficient, I hope it helps anyone looking. Coordinates for Lifepod: -275 / -11 / -23 || Frozen Creature: -16343 / 41 / -710 || Parvan's Bunker: ...

It's more complicated this way.

Really if you use the ladder there is just one path.

It's been discussed many times, but it's best to just play and enjoy .. it's pretty much the next chapter of the story

fresh pilot
#

bruh can you not disable the seaglide map

bold monolith
#

F.

fresh pilot
#

oh yeah mb

next current
#

Seaglide map is honestly pretty good in this game since the cave systems are smaller and more cramped.

stoic surge
#

One can also use it while standing in the Seatruck to get a feel for nearby terrain

fresh pilot
#

wtf the oxygen plants are broken asf

#

i dived to 400m

#

with a standard o2 tank

stoic surge
#

I still prefer the brain corals from the crater

fresh pilot
#

theres like a 10th as many brain corals

#

i found around 8

#

and they each give like 30 o2

eternal garnet
#

they are very rare in other places. this is a starting area

fresh pilot
#

ig

#

but even in safe shallows there were barely any brain corals

stoic surge
#

They could be knifed for growable samples tho

#

O2 plants cannot

fresh pilot
#

youre not gonna grow brain coral samples in the middle of nowhere just cuz youre running out of o2

#

bunch of inv space and time

eternal garnet
#

You can grow the o2 fishies and release them. They will stay there

stoic surge
fresh pilot
#

i mean ig

stoic surge
#

But here in Sector Zero, you just can't beat the Seatruck

fresh pilot
#

lol

#

ive yet to find the last seatruck frag

#

is it made in mobile vehicle bay?

stoic surge
#

The Seatruck is, yes

#

And it's modules

fresh pilot
#

cool

#

wait wtf titanium ingots are only 5 tita?

stoic surge
#

Yep

fresh pilot
#

btw whats the premise of bz

#

like what is my end goal here

eternal garnet
#

you came here to find out how Sam died. But then you crash your shuttle

fresh pilot
#

ah ok thanks

eternal garnet
#

so you are kinda stuck here. But you still want to find out about Sam

fresh pilot
#

hm aight

#

but like, how do i beat the game? just follow pda? explore deeper basically?

eternal garnet
#

technically, by making Al-an's body, he will help you

#

you aren't required to find out about Sam. Which is sad. Do it anyway

#

Explore everything. You are only partially hand-held

#

The third plotline, Pilot/Maida is also optional. But do it

fresh pilot
eternal garnet
#

the handholding stops.

fresh pilot
eternal garnet
#

you havent found anyone named Alan yet? Cool. Explore twisty bridges. Especially any distress signals there

fresh pilot
#

i started literally 45 mins ago

stray sage
fresh pilot
#

but yeah will do

fresh pilot
eternal garnet
#

So, three storylines. Al-an is the main one that will end the game

fresh pilot
#

the sharks are annoying especially without a med kit fabricator

eternal garnet
#

stab with knife they run off. Or get a vehicle

fresh pilot
#

working on it

glossy prairie
#

did you grab the gel sacks and diamonds while you were getting the modules?

eternal garnet
#

nice,. you need the mobile vehicle bay too of course

glossy prairie
#

yes

eternal garnet
glossy prairie
#

that can be found in sea monkey nests in the kelp forests right?

#

pinning blueprints is 👌

eternal garnet

it has a hidden benefit too, but not yet

fresh pilot
#

oo

#

how does the mineral detector work

eternal garnet
#

it's not great, not useless. Range is just 10m

fresh pilot
#

oh bruh.

eternal garnet
#

Better: options / accessibility / Highlight interactables

#

makes them glow

fresh pilot
#

ig

carmine bobcat
eternal garnet
#

it's nice. Not a cheat. Also PDA pause helps

#

so you don't drown when reading in there

fresh pilot
#

ohh thats what you meant

#

btw where can i find gold

eternal garnet
#

calaverite, yellow, looks like a bread loaf. In kelp root caves for example

fresh pilot
#

kelp root caves

eternal garnet
#

under creepvines

fresh pilot
#

is there a map i can look at?

eternal garnet
#

yes... some are very spoilery. There's even two undetailed maps in game you can scan, on walls

fresh pilot
#

o

glossy prairie
#

that cave is just behind some rocks near the first building on delta island

eternal garnet
#

There's also a map mod, for steam or Epic version

fresh pilot
#

this feels like a speedrun

eternal garnet
#

yay! Don't let any smelly aliums touch your brain, k

#

nah this is still early game

fresh pilot
eternal garnet
#

what have you done

fresh pilot
#

idk-

eternal garnet
#

Did you not study alien contact protocol for a year? You did

fresh pilot
#

i did?

next current
deep kettle
#

😦

fresh pilot
#

imma be honest i preferred the subnautica pda voice

#

this ones annoying

eternal garnet
fresh pilot
#

confusion

carmine bobcat
#

the new pda voice is like a snarky indian woman

fresh pilot
#

yeah exactly

eternal garnet
#

Both PDA voices are advanced TTS you can download. This voice is upper class India

fresh pilot
#

other wasnt calming but at least didnt feel nagging

eternal garnet
#

there is such a thing yes.

#

Warning 30 seconds of oxygen remaining.

fresh pilot
#

holy fk stop

#

thats the one sentence thats driving me insane

carmine bobcat
#

air bladder.

eternal garnet
#

I know 😊

fresh pilot
eternal garnet
#

You can now get 15s of air from the bladder

#

Or you can go up. Not both. It's now really fast, not like in SN

fresh pilot
#

never used air bladder

#

just ate the fish

eternal garnet
#

it's great. get one

#

It wasn't great in SN

fresh pilot
#

ah alan is the guy whos in me

#

;)

eternal garnet
#

yeeees

fresh pilot
eternal garnet
#

Go away, you're not real.

fresh pilot
#

wait what

glossy prairie
#

those are useful l,ate game

eternal garnet
#

the "charge" is for one special late game use

glossy prairie
#

keep them

eternal garnet
#

oh they are useful mid game

#

notice your fish is rotting

fresh pilot
fresh pilot
eternal garnet
#

you can't charge them, but in one usage you can spend their energy

fresh pilot
#

oh wtf

#

aight well imma continue later gotta do stuff thanks for all the help

stray sage
#

Is spicy fruit salad the best food consumption in the game I’ve been using them for a while now

fresh pilot
#

the what now

stray sage
eternal garnet
#

that's my fav fuel because it can grow right there

#

root pustules are most energy, but they are far away and not renewable

root pustules seem to only have 2 uses
