[carmine bobcat]

i didn't scan a single creature in bz they're very uninteresting (except the arctic peeper)

[glossy prairie]

i find the shadow leviathans cool

[stray sage]

Dude honestly it was the precursor race fault for not thinking the mother would track them down

[carmine bobcat]

||the kharaa ravaged the universe by eventually becoming immune to enzyme 42||

[stray sage]

What?

[broken badge]

Unless I’m misremembering the Kharaa was already on the loose and had killed a lot of beings

[carmine bobcat]

play natural selection 2.

[stray sage]

Ok 🗿

[carmine bobcat]

no i think the mother released it actually

[broken badge]

It only affected 4546B being under quarantine

No she didn’t

[glossy prairie]

billions on 4546b alone if i remember correctly

[carmine bobcat]

fr?

[broken badge]

That was one of several research facilities

[carmine bobcat]

no no

you can find it on a computer in the destroyed alien base

[glossy prairie]

i just found a squidshark 24m below the surface

[broken badge]

Kharaa didn’t originate on 4546b

[glossy prairie]

thats a little high up dont you think

[carmine bobcat]

they called a quarantine order but the mom busted the base up

and released it

[carmine bobcat]

they're super easy to avoid just strafe right

[glossy prairie]

yes

[stray sage]

They were trying to find the cure but couldn’t communicate with the sea emperor so they used a sea dragon leviathan egg instead

[carmine bobcat]

after you get the reinforced suit nothing is scary

[glossy prairie]

i used to be scared of them but now i know they dont attack until you're basically right on top of them

[broken badge]

4546b was put under quarantine because of the break-in at the DRF (you’re getting some of the lore a bit confused but it’s ok)

[carmine bobcat]

they should've only made it heat proof for the first game

and left it out of bz

[carmine bobcat]

ohhhh ty ty

[carmine bobcat]

i just stroll by leviathans at this point tbh

[stray sage]

Why they leave us on cliffhanger in bz 🗿

[carmine bobcat]

worst they could do is take 3% off your repair tool's battery

[leaden hearth]

because they need more money...

thats why we got a lame cliffhanger

[gaunt trench]

they also do in Subnautica

[broken badge]

It’s just like the PDS, using suits and equipment are optional and if you think they make it too easy, you don’t have to use them

[glossy prairie]

same

[stray sage]

Post credits seem nice

[glossy prairie]

nothing can hurt you once you get the perimter defense module

[carmine bobcat]

well fair enough unknown worlds almost went bankrupt during the development of Subnautica

[leaden hearth]

they definitely dont leave you on a clfifhanger ni the first game, you get off the planet and thats good enough of an ending

[stray sage]

Eh subnautica ending was more satisfying even though bz ending was more cooler

[carmine bobcat]

it's necessary for the ||lava zone||

[gaunt trench]

||"You'll be allowed to land, once you pay your outstanding debt of 1 trillion credits."||

[broken badge]

Both games leave the ending up to your imagination, which is pretty cool actually that way people aren’t really disappointed with how things end (imo)

[carmine bobcat]

actually I really hated how the character had 3 billion in debt

[leaden hearth]

lol so? XD

[gaunt trench]

honestly, seeing the BZ ending kind of teared me up

[carmine bobcat]

nvm it's 1 trillion

[glossy prairie]

i like the BZ ending

[broken badge]

I’ve seen people wear the lead suit all the way to end for Subnautica

[gaunt trench]

such a shame that on PC the last image just flashes to white after a second

[broken badge]

I’m just like, why don’t you get reinforced suit bruh

[carmine bobcat]

nah i hated the bz player character i just felt bad for ||Alan||

[stray sage]

Tbh Ryley probably just gave in his info on alien technology to cover for debt plus he is the only one who knew about the mysteries of the planet so he might have been even promoted

[glossy prairie]

still a really good image tho

[carmine bobcat]

they're just wasting medkits

[stray sage]

Alterra is mid

[carmine bobcat]

wallpaper worthy

[leaden hearth]

same. how could you not hate a character they had to re-write because stupid people couldnt relate to the player having an older voice...

[carmine bobcat]

the PDA voice in below zero makes me want to cause mass extinction

[gaunt trench]

knowing Alterra they just screwed him over

[glossy prairie]

i wish i got it after the dialogue ended

[leaden hearth]

honestly i hate the entirety of what unkown worlds did with bz

[stray sage]

Yeah maybe

[gaunt trench]

PDA in Subnautica is like a caring mother, PDA in BZ is like an older sister teasing you

[stray sage]

It was intended as dlc at the start? Ofc it would never live up to the og

[leaden hearth]

along with threatening the modding community with legal action for trying to do something the devs themselves will NEVER GET TO!

[stray sage]

FR

[broken badge]

Never had it in early access, so I only know the current story (which isn’t bad, but has some oddities for sure because I know it was rewritten😅)

[glossy prairie]

alterra is the kind of company to blame him for the disaster because he was the one survivor

[gaunt trench]

yup

[broken badge]

Excuse me?

[leaden hearth]

no thats a stupid cop-out bro. it couldve been a great game had they not crumbled to a bunch of minority pandering

[stray sage]

Bz lacks the scary factor the first game had

[leaden hearth]

what did i say that was wrong?

[glossy prairie]

true

the part that is supposed to be scary isnt even scary

[broken badge]

That’s not true for everyone. People have different “scare” levels

[gaunt trench]

tbf I like BZ's atmosphere more than the og Subnautica

[carmine bobcat]

it really does

[broken badge]

I just have no idea what you’re on about tbh

[gaunt trench]

in BZ I had a bit more sense of direction than normally

[glossy prairie]

the only thing that makes the crystal caves scary is that you know there are leviathans down there, you just have no idea where

once more a use of the fear of the unknown

[stray sage]

Na if u play the first subnautica first you legit can’t get scared of bz but I guess it’s different for everyone

[gaunt trench]

the jumpscare at delta did scare the hell out of me tho

[broken badge]

There are all different sorts of people and of all ages, so it’s always important to remember not everyone is the same, and different people find different things scary

[glossy prairie]

i made the mistake (?) of watching a playthrough of below zero first so i didnt really get scared by anything

[stray sage]

Game legit gives you perimeter defense for free which makes this game fauna a joke plus you can solo the game with seatruck prawn no needed

[gaunt trench]

||in marg's base, I knew something's gonna happen, so I was prepared for getting jumped on||

[stray sage]

I went in blind and still wasn’t scary lol

[leaden hearth]

during early access development of BZ after they released the large room modules and glass dome roofs etc, modders began working these base building modules into the original subnautica game, when UW sent out a cease and desist to them and posted that anyone who ported the items over would be faced with legal issues because the models were copyright protected and said UW they would port the modules themselves. theyve been saying "we are working on it" ever since the game was released...

[broken badge]

That’s fine, but that’s not any reason to say other people can’t find it scary that’s the only point I’m trying to make

[gaunt trench]

also I love how marg calls you out when you try to scan her lol

[stray sage]

I don’t understand 🗿

[broken badge]

Seems fair to me, it’s their intellectual property

[stray sage]

Oh I see I get it

[stray sage]

Fr 😂

[leaden hearth]

so instead of letting people improve your old game, and get more people to buy and play it, you threaten everyone with legal action, and then never deliver the things that modders could have implemented within a month....

thats an absurd and frankly brain-dead business move

lot of people prefer subnautica 1 to bz still.... and porting bz stuff to sub1 would be a massive boon to the player base

how are they so stupid to be willing to lose out on free sales that they dont have to put in any work to add...

[stray sage]

Lol it’s their game if they don’t want people stealing their assets then they can do something about it

[gaunt trench]

just be grateful that there's any modding support at all.

[broken badge]

Sounds like people were trying to do something modders knew were outside their approved use of assets, but got salty about it (idk for sure, since I’m not involved in modding, but I can’t blame UWE for wanting to protect their assets and games). They have agreements in place is what I’ve heard for what the modders have access to and can do with them, and sounds like this wasn’t something that was part of that agreement

[gaunt trench]

some games actively kill any modding opportunities

[leaden hearth]

why is it such a problem to port assets from one of your games into the other game...

[gaunt trench]

if you know coding, you know why

[broken badge]

And they’ve done the work, and it’s going to happen.
You do realize that? The large rooms are going into Subnautica when the 2.0 update goes live. They’re in experimental rn

[gaunt trench]

porting stuff from one environment to another can either go extremely well or extremely wrong

[broken badge]

Subnautica code is old

It’s a mess

[gaunt trench]

Grounded is a good example too, porting a dev build to a PTS(public test) branch makes for some funny bugs

[stray sage]

What’s wrong with having stuff from bz go to subnautica I mean bz is more optimised and has better improvements

[gaunt trench]

even though all it is, is a version change

wrong time sir

[muted python]

HOTTEST TRACK

[stray sage]

🗿

[broken badge]

So I don’t believe the modders would’ve just “snapped their fingers” and just made it work as if it were a piece of cake. I playtest, it’s never easy, there’s always stuff that comes up when changes are made especially for Subnautica
Anyway, there’s really no need to continue on about it, because it’s all in the past now

[stray sage]

Bro really didn’t

[broken badge]

There’s a #♫♪-disco-lounge-♪♫ for music

As long as it’s family friendly

[gaunt trench]

by family friendly, you mean PG13 or "safe for literally everyone"?

[broken badge]

I don’t think we would want stuff with a bunch of swearing in it

[gaunt trench]

ah

songs I listen to have a lot of TWs so

[stray sage]

I’m pretty sure there is a way to play the og bz story

[leaden hearth]

considering the chat isnt allowed to have swearing. pretty sure they dont want swears in music either

[gaunt trench]

archives exist

[deep kettle]

On Steam yes, other platforms not sure.

[broken badge]

Console wouldn’t have a way

[stray sage]

What about getting game via Xbox gamepass

[broken badge]

Console only got the full release version that came out in May 2021

[stray sage]

Wish there was a way 😞

[broken badge]

That’s the first time it was released on consoles

[leaden hearth]

i mean kinda.. story got changed like 3 times? and it was 1 way for a while till people were like "the character sounds too old i cant relate to her"

[deep kettle]

Not sure about gamepass.

[stray sage]

I got the first subnautica via steam though

[broken badge]

It’s on GamePass last time I knew

But I haven’t checked lately

[stray sage]

Wait fr

[visual echo]

i'd follow a story about fred even though he's like 40

[gaunt trench]

guys, theory time

[broken badge]

Shows up for me when I searched just now

[leaden hearth]

i agree idc how old they sound, or what gender or race or anything as long as they were a well-written character... like the first game was literally a mute, people put too much stock in that kind of nonsense "oh its unimmersive"

[gaunt trench]

||at the end, the structures are collapsed, that wouldn't happen if they just succumbed to Kharaa, would it?||

||so what the hell happened there?||

[broken badge]

Both games are on Game Pass

[stray sage]

Oh I see il try that

[stray sage]

I know but wanted the first game via steam

[visual echo]

i mean it kind of is un-immersive for grandma to be hauling 4 hover bikes in her pockets, but that's game logic

[broken badge]

But you wouldn’t get early access story on the full release version

[leaden hearth]

||but it would happen if they all succumbed to kharaa, and then their city ran out of power and everything that relied upon ionic levitation lost power and just dropped||

[gaunt trench]

but, you can see scaffold, can you not?

[leaden hearth]

ive only seen it the once so i cant really talk about how it looks

[broken badge]

A lot about games is not immersive, it’s just how things work. I mean a habitat builder they looks like an electric razor and sprays out a habitat in a few minutes isn’t very realistic even if it’s futuristic but it’s cool and works xD

[gaunt trench]

reference pic

[leaden hearth]

yeah its just as un-immersive to have a 24 year old guy or girl carrying like 30 units of titanium ore bigger than their head, again game logic

[leaden hearth]

i see no scaffolding here

[gaunt trench]

somebody's spine ain't coming out of this in one piece

[leaden hearth]

i see cables, but no scaffolding

[gaunt trench]

oh they're cables?

||but there's still some items floating around||

[broken badge]

My theory, is they might have had to ||relocate or they all entered long term storage of their own, something of that nature|| maybe resources ran out or something, or power

[glossy prairie]

minecraft steve be like

[leaden hearth]

yeah those are power cables like we see attaching the RDF to the thermal power base in sub1

[stray sage]

Wonder what subnautica 3 will be about 🗿

[gaunt trench]

perhaps something happened there?

[deep kettle]

Water 👀

[broken badge]

Maybe

[gaunt trench]

for all we know, an ion cube might've popped

[stray sage]

Subnautica: above zero

[visual echo]

Subnautica: +1

[leaden hearth]

considering the seamoth can be used for space travel......

maybe a space based game?

[visual echo]

i heard it's on 4546a, the terran sister planet of b

[gaunt trench]

||from a PDA entry in subnautica, we know that ion cubes are basically mini powerful storms contained within a cube||, so it could broke and released a powerful blast

[broken badge]

That sounds like rumor and conjecture lol

i haven't beat bz yet so

[gaunt trench]

it's in the og sub

[visual echo]

where?

[gaunt trench]

||when sunbeam gets shot down||

[visual echo]

ah

what does it say

[gaunt trench]

it's when you're not at the island while it's happening

[visual echo]

oh, never experienced it then

[glossy prairie]

where do you get aquarium module fragments

[stray sage]

Bro that mod with the gargantuan leviathan eating the sunbeam was pretty cool

[glossy prairie]

purple vents?

[eternal garnet]

no, on top of lilypads grass

[glossy prairie]

ahh

[visual echo]

damn

[gaunt trench]

yeah, also the sound that the ||gun makes when it starts moving||... it always gives me this weird anxiety feeling, where your face suddenly feels like it's being crushed

[broken badge]

Sleeper module is in purple vents, along with docking module, but they’re in slightly different areas

[gaunt trench]

it's that moment where you start realising what's about to happen

[visual echo]

reminds me of a horizontal drive.. probably because that's what it is

[eternal garnet]

it makes a Moo sound.

[visual echo]

i never got to experience the ||sunbeam destruction|| blind

i hate youtube sometimes

[gaunt trench]

I did

people were encouraging me to go to the island

I didn't expect it at all but when I saw that the ||gun was starting to aim|| I knew what was gonna happen

and since Sunbeam is so much smaller than Aurora, there is literally nothing left

[visual echo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuiNsy42SFI

[carmine bobcat]

yeah it's the "I'm so #@$¥*&" feeling

[gaunt trench]

it's basically the reality sinking in

[visual echo]

change "i'm" to "they're"

[carmine bobcat]

lmfao fair

[carmine bobcat]

honestly

[visual echo]

also it was probably pretty far out, it was visibly moving in fast and they had about 20 seconds till landing

[carmine bobcat]

i was happy the sunbeam couldn't save me

I really didn't want the game to end so soon

[gaunt trench]

I didn't expect him to save me

I asked just in case

[carmine bobcat]

fair

[gaunt trench]

but I was like "what's gonna happen? are they going to be lazy and just not land?"

oh how wrong I was.

[carmine bobcat]

i love how they straight up nope out ||if you deactivate the quarantine gun||

[gaunt trench]

lmao

[visual echo]

i just realised squidshark eggs exist

the babies are so cute i'm literally dieing

[carmine bobcat]

i just remembered eggs exist

[visual echo]

🥚

[eternal garnet]

try some sea monkey babies

[carmine bobcat]

the only egg i ever hatched was a crabsnake and it tried eating my seamoth

so i ran it over

[visual echo]

demented

[carmine bobcat]

i kinda thought it would be friendly

[visual echo]

they are friendly

[carmine bobcat]

deserved jt

[visual echo]

but only if you're in a vehicle

[carmine bobcat]

no lmao it bit me

[carmine bobcat]

i wasn't even inside it

it was parked outside because I'm too cheap to build a second moonpool

[leaden hearth]

yeah crabsnakes hate all vehicles

[carmine bobcat]

they hate themselves apparently

picking a fight with my seamoth is like ringing the bell on grim's door

[leaden hearth]

i mean theylive in mushrooms and never leave unless they gotta eat

they definitely hate their own species lol

[carmine bobcat]

yeahhh

i like how pretty their cave is

[visual echo]

i have 4 released (henry, sophie, elliot, and george) and i've seen them fight eachother lol

[carmine bobcat]

plus magnetite

[teal lagoon]

Yo

[leaden hearth]

yo

[carmine bobcat]

I've literally never touched eggs besides a single cuddlefish and one crabsnake egg

i didn't even want the crabsnake itself i just thought finding the egg was cool

[visual echo]

yeah, crabsnake egg spawns are pretty unique compared to other species

[leaden hearth]

in the epic games version of sub1 you can get fake ray leviathan eggs

[carmine bobcat]

peepers > hoverfish

[visual echo]

it makes more sense

[leaden hearth]

they look just like spadefish eggs, but take up 4 blocks of inventory isntead of 1

[carmine bobcat]

it does yeah

[carmine bobcat]

that's weird

[carmine bobcat]

getting crucified Speedrun wr

[leaden hearth]

it was an experimental egg that was removed, but i think the epic games version used such an old patch that it was still included

that was when i was playing it back when EG offered the game for free

then i learned what that company was and deleted all traces of it and bought the game on steam instead lol

sorry, adhd brains go off topic pretty bad lol

[carmine bobcat]

lmfao it's fine

i was looking for peeper gifs

[leaden hearth]

we need leviathan peepers back

[glossy prairie]

who needs a seatruck dock when you have this

btw does the sleeper module still exist

[modest pagoda]

yes

[leaden hearth]

idk people who wanna charge their batteries passively?

[glossy prairie]

where

purple vents?

[modest pagoda]

the part of the purple vents with the shrimp

[glossy prairie]

uh oh

[leaden hearth]

i think the deepish part of purple vents on the border of it and lillies right?

[glossy prairie]

shrimp better get used to electricity because its going to get multiple doses of it

[loud arch]

I've made a ton of progress but I don't know where to go lol

I disabled the radar thing for maida

[leaden hearth]

whats the current goal?

[loud arch]

And found her greenhouse

[leaden hearth]

found her base as well?

[loud arch]

Yup

[leaden hearth]

how many artifacts ahve you scanned?

[loud arch]

Dunno

Three I think

Maybe 2

[leaden hearth]

thats a big part of it, go exploring for artifacts, or wait for al-an to show you where one is. they are closely tied to story progression

[loud arch]

Alright

[leaden hearth]

i think at that point its mostly just waiting for alan to tell you where to go? and exploring the ice lands if you want to do the other story

[loud arch]

I've been on land a lot

[leaden hearth]

you found uh. Pi station?

[loud arch]

No i dont think so lol

[eternal garnet]

Never wait for alan to tell you where to go. That's a fail.

Alan is not the radio of SN1

[leaden hearth]

then what else? just explore everywhere? @eternal garnet

[eternal garnet]

well, yes

Find a new area? Make a note of exploring it

Find a monster in it? Running away is a fail

[leaden hearth]

eh i just explored and built my base and did side stories while waiting for alan, i mean yeah i found a few on my own but..

[eternal garnet]

He stops giving suggestions mid game. Though a couple of places do trigger him if you get near

[loud arch]

I fully explored the mercury

[leaden hearth]

got the parallel thingy?

[loud arch]

Yep

[leaden hearth]

have you used it?

[loud arch]

Wait one sec

I think I'm confident myself

Confusing

[leaden hearth]

oh lol

[loud arch]

Let me load onto bz

[leaden hearth]

hey can i say dope? like as an exclamation like cool?

[loud arch]

Sure

[leaden hearth]

i doubt it but figured i'd ask lol

oh that was a question for moderators lol

[loud arch]

Oh

Oooooh

You don't want to mean the other stuff

[leaden hearth]

yeah i know censorship is high here and i can respect that lol

yeah exactly i use it to mean awesome and stuff like that, instead of the not so good meaning

[loud arch]

I've used the ppu in the test module

Nothing else

[strong bobcat]

Hello. New to the discord and just downloaded the experimental version of below zero. How do I get the blueprint for the Seatruck Docking Station?

[modest pagoda]

I'm guessing that you need the moonpool

[eternal garnet]

you scan a moon pool., or find its data box

[strong bobcat]

Thank you. And @modest pagoda Thank you as well.

[eternal garnet]

locations: ||koppa mine and pilot's home||

[stoic surge]

Are you speaking of the 'Seatruck dock'?

[stoic surge]

Is it included with the moonpool blueprint?

[eternal garnet]

yes it is

[stoic surge]

Oh, cool ... I wonder if that will carry over to the main release

[eternal garnet]

well, it will

[stoic surge]

Awesome

[hope it happens sooon]

[strong bobcat]

Correct. And I was informed of its blueprint location. Well method I should say. But thank you for asking.

[slate lance]

hey! good afternoon

[stoic surge]

Howdy

[slate lance]

vc?

[stoic surge]

It's been giving me trouble today, I best just type

[slate lance]

ok

[stoic surge]

Today I've been driving my Seatruck around with an aquarium module, scooping up fuel for the ol' bioreactor

It likes fish alot

Robin kinda likes fish -- I guess

[gaunt trench]

but... fevered peppers...

[stoic surge]

They're good too, but if I'm away from my base and get peckish, what's a hungry girl to do?

[dapper phoenix]

Crackers and toast! Is that a fragment I somehow missed while building a base right there?

[modest pagoda]

I thought that was a fish not a fragment XD

[gaunt trench]

Sea Fish moment

[quiet wedge]

i finally got the spiral plants

oh my god I spent so much time searching

[modest pagoda]

whered you eventually find them?

[quiet wedge]

inside the ||vent gardens, initially I thought it was just a biome, but you literally had to go inside the leviathan||

[gaunt trench]

I never entered a vent garden

like, never

when I tried to, I got scared off by the chelicerate and never had a reason to go to one after that

[quiet wedge]

I hate how they are faster than me even when I have the power burst module

[gaunt trench]

vent gardens??

[sly prism]

There are other places to collect the spiral plant clippings other than vent gardens

Try looking in, around and Nearby ||the Mercury II|| or look around near ||The Architect body cache near Marg's Base|| or indeed ||Around The Crystal Caverns|| near the ||Shadow Leviathans|| that is where I found some of the spiral plants, I hope this helps others to find the Spiral plants

[carmine bobcat]

Literally

[gaunt trench]

yup

[carmine bobcat]

Found the ||organs|| and the ||skeleton|| for ||AL-AN||, found all the ||abandoned Alterra stations|| and I’m just trying to figure out what to do now

I’m thinking I need to use the prawn suit to get over the frozen waterfalls around phi and zero

See where that leads me

[sly prism]

I found a sort of Shortcut to ||the Frozen Leviathan|| near ||Phi Robotics||

[prime sorrel]

If I have a scanner room with upgrades in it and I click deconstruct for not even half a second does it just delete my upgrades even though the room went from 100% to 99%?

[sly prism]

Yes it does

I know this from experience

[prime sorrel]

Well that's very, very annoying... thanks.

[carmine bobcat]

Rip magnetite

Unnecessarily difficult to find in this game compared to classic Subnautica

[gaunt trench]

if you need a tip, lmk

[carmine bobcat]

K thanks

[gaunt trench]

magnetite is quite a common resource though

[carmine bobcat]

I have a tough time finding it

[sly prism]

There are veins of magnetite around the BZ map, you need to find 'em, for me the hardest thing to find is lead

[carmine bobcat]

BZ?

[prime sorrel]

It's not just that its difficult to find, if it was any material to make its still dumb that it just straight up deletes it with just 1 single miss click

[sly prism]

Lots of titanium, lots of copper, BZ = Below Zero

[carmine bobcat]

Is there any specific locations for magnetite ore veins or do I just repel magnetite

[sly prism]

Try looking around ||Phi Robotics|| for the veins, if you cannot find them, you will need to go deeper

[prime sorrel]

I mean, there are plenty of tutorials on how to find magnetite that you could look up.

[sly prism]

I found magnetite around ||Al-An's skeleton|| outside of where it was, I also found it around ||The Crystal Caverns||

[quiet wedge]

i fell through the map

[gaunt trench]

oh yeah it happens sometime

prawn suit entered a limbo state for me for some reason

koppa mining site basically became a clipzone

[sly prism]

Another option is craft the ||Ore finder||, set it to Magnetite, then swim around the map taking out the ||Ore finder|| or whatever it is called every now and then to find it

[carmine bobcat]

Range on that is actual crap

[sly prism]

Works fine for me but yeah its range is limited

[prime sorrel]

Wasn't there some way to have a backup cam on the seatruck to help attach modules? Or was that only during the beta?

[quiet wedge]

is the sleeper module good?

[rocky sigil]

seatruck op, it died in 1 hit

[slate lance]

nice

[short stratus]

Below zero on xbox 1 is 👑

[carmine bobcat]

How do I build a base on land I don’t have stairs or nothing

[steel stream]

When you build a hatch on land it will include stairs

[carmine bobcat]

Ok thanks

Wait a hatch or bulkhead?

[steel stream]

Try scanner room instead of ore finder for longer range

[carmine bobcat]

I tried building a bulkhead but it wasn’t letting me place it

[steel stream]

I've used normal hatch

[carmine bobcat]

K

[steel stream]

But sometimes when I return to my base the stairs are broken...then I have to start dismantling the hatch and build it back to fix the stairs

[topaz gate]

Whh cant i build?

Bruh

[topaz gate]

Damn i saved in half a hour

[bold monolith]

I've seen worse.

[topaz gate]

Where can i find lithium

[bold monolith]

Purple Vents.

[deep kettle]

Poor person lol.

[indigo sluice]

I am upset that you can not plant thermal lillies to keep the outside of your base more warm.

[sly prism]

It was in the beta, but they removed it for some reason

[eternal garnet]

it killed framerates on lower spec hardware

[sly prism]

Ah I can understand that since I have low end spec pc that is 8 years old

[stoic surge]

Ha, I can beat that, my PC has a Vista sticker on it!

[sly prism]

Now with the recent updates and releases of BZ the pengwing models are stretched out freakishly and are making it hard to swim around as my view is obscured

[eternal garnet]

you what

[sly prism]

In the Below zero game on my pc, the 3d models of the pengwings are all stretched out freakishly, they do not look like Pengwings, they look like stretchy blue blobs and when I am underwater in the game it is hard to see where I am going as I swim around in it

[eternal garnet]

got a version number top right?

[sly prism]

I do and it is the recent release, every update since the issue started a while back; Every update has that same issue so I think it is my pc

[eternal garnet]

number.

[sly prism]

I do not know right now as it is uninstalled

[eternal garnet]

Well. I have never seen this issue

[indigo sluice]

Below Zero needs a special moonpool base for the Prawn suit when it is on land.

[sly prism]

I agree

[eternal garnet]

moon pools on land. Well there's no chance of that now

[quiet wedge]

hey guys, I have a question

I just repaired the bridge near the phi robotics and I need to know if its safe for me to take my prawn

[cedar wadi]

They have that at one of the bases kinda where they hang up like clothes

[stoic surge]

If you have the thermal charger installed in it, you can at least have it charge when not in use, by parking it next to a steam vent

[sly prism]

Yes, but that is just set dressing

[stoic surge]

There are some hostiles to watch for, and you also should save often, as clipping through the ground can happen at any location

[quiet wedge]

oof

thanks

[prime sorrel]

Ah, that's what I thought, that's a shame since that back up camera was extremely useful and I wish they could bring it back in some way, maybe a side mirror? lol.

[stoic surge]

I have noticed, when I jettison Seatruck modules in my Switch version, I start losing O2 while I remain in the cab ... getting out and back in fixes, tho

[amber hemlock]

Not just that, the camera also didn’t work properly

[echo palm]

go to your settings it’s accessibility option

[unborn lark]

hello?

[dull basin]

That happens to me on my Xbox sometimes

[stoic surge]

Yeah, this game can do some weird stuff

[dull basin]

It happens to me when I load in the game in the seatruck

[stoic surge]

Yep - - Just a while ago I built a second base, and the stairs from my first base appeared next to the hatch

[dull basin]

Ok

[keen flax]

Maybe like a thing from the matrix where the prawn attaches to some cables that hold it off the ground

[stoic surge]

Wouldn't it be even harder to get into it tho?

[keen flax]

Ladder

[stoic surge]

Maybe it would work

[keen flax]

Or like a snow fox thing

It also could be like a bacta tank

[stoic surge]

Like a what?

[keen flax]

Star Wars thing

This thing

But for prawn

[stoic surge]

Oh, the first aid tank

[keen flax]

Official name is bacta tank

Says so on wookiepedia

[stoic surge]

I did not know that

Altho I kinda doubt disney would go for any crossover stuff, even if it would be awesome

An adventure on mon calamari would be epic

[glossy prairie]

i cant believe how many guide videos dont know about the little ladder that goes to the frozen leviathan

[glossy prairie]

i just discovered that you can make the toilet lid go up and down

this is now my new favourite passtime

[carmine bobcat]

What area

[glossy prairie]

phi robotics

go right up the hill instead of left

there should be a ladder

[peak locust]

anyone know why my spy pengling just breaks instantly when i try to control it?

[glossy prairie]

what do you mean "break"

as in it falls into pieces or the game isnt sure whats happening

[peak locust]

ill just make a screenshot

i go inside my base to control it it shows a glitch effect and then it just dies

and it disapears after some time when this happens

[glossy prairie]

maybe you need to make a new one

they're also meant to work on land

[peak locust]

ok apparantly they just do that in water

on land its fine

[glossy prairie]

they arent meant to work underwater

[narrow ravine]

If it is on land, is the water still there

[next current]

No since you can't place moonpools above land anymore. But before, no. The water would not appear.

[bold monolith]

The databank says: "(Warning: Research to create a waterproof edition of the spy pengling was halted due to compliance concerns. Currently, contact with water will result in complete system failure.)".

[heavy mica]

i see you over there

[cedar wadi]

I just broke something

Made booster tank in a creative world

Went into water and now i swim at light speed

and have a constant weird effect on screen

[spice marsh]

hot

[carmine bobcat]

Discord mod

[heavy mica]

why is the seatruck softer than a snowflake

[spice marsh]

lol

[cedar wadi]

Booster tank equiped and this started i never used the speed command at all in this world

[heavy mica]

When I take one hit it goes down by half

[heavy mica]

Naruto underwater

[spice marsh]

hi Reece

[cedar wadi]

Hi

[spice marsh]

u got gummy baller? lol

[heavy mica]

Clipping is so easy in here

[cedar wadi]

Accidental 3rd person subbautica by getting in a seamoth and also accidentally ghosting

[queen pivot]

I yo I got a question

Can I destroy the coral bridge?

[cedar wadi]

No but why would you want to

Maybe with the dev tool thing idk

[heavy mica]

what

[cedar wadi]

?

[heavy mica]

I ran in this guy wondering what he does now I'm dr; nevermind

[carmine bobcat]

butiful

[heavy mica]

Seatruck ?

[carmine bobcat]

Thing

[heavy mica]

I got d♠ped and now i lost my seatruck

[steel stream]

I just built water filtration machine but it doesn't seem to produce any salt, only large filtered water. My base is below water, but very shallow, could it be the reason? The base is right next to lifepod.

[glossy prairie]

as long as its in the water it should produce both

not like salt is a big deal

[steel stream]

It would be nice to make cured fish for non-spoiling food

[eternal garnet]

it is probably the shallowness, yes

[steel stream]

I can try building it a bit deeper and see if it helps, but not today

[eternal garnet]

the area isn't great to build in: not central, not deep. Go more south

But it can work

[dapper phoenix]

The compartment the filtration machine is in needs to be completely submerged. If the top breaks the water's surface, the filtration machine operates in atmospheric condenser mode (8x slower, no salt).

[steel stream]

Thanks, I'll check when I'm back in the game. It's in a large room and I think it's totally submerged (the whole base actually)

[dapper phoenix]

Ended up solving this in a split-level surface/submerged base in original Subnautica by moving it down two floors from surface. Solar panels for days though, that thing is a hungry puppy.

Foul! I can't attach a light stick to a foundation myself.

[eternal garnet]

much less a small crane

[next current]

You have to be apart of Alterra in order to attach Light Sticks to Foundations.

[dapper phoenix]

the guys from Nauvis must have come by, that looks like an inserter XD

[next current]

You are apart of Xenoworx.

[dapper phoenix]

So much for my garden light ambitions.

[queen pivot]

What is a Metal Salvage for?

[eternal garnet]

it just makes titanium, that's all

[queen pivot]

Oh ok thx

[sly prism]

To gather titanium for building

[queen pivot]

How much does it have

[sly prism]

4 pieces I think

[dapper phoenix]

yeah, 4 per 2x2 chunk

[queen pivot]

Thx

[dapper phoenix]

in other news, building a base near the aforementioned random foundation, finding a place to put a moon pool that isn't going to be prawn heck is a challenge

[next current]

Meatie, there needs to be a recipe where you can craft metal salvage for 4 pieces of Titanium.

[dapper phoenix]

in theory it would be a ||recyclotron|| recipe but does not appear to be allowed there

[glossy prairie]

there is

[eternal garnet]

sounds so very useful. But not really

[next current]

XD

[glossy prairie]

unless i read that wrong you unlock it once you go to the wrecks

[dapper phoenix]

I mean, short of chew toys for stalkers ...

[next current]

I ate stalkers for breakfast.

[eternal garnet]

the stalkers in BZ have a new chew toy. It's you

[dapper phoenix]

seems like any time I start building a seabase and the terrain isn't perfect it ends up looking like a hamster habitrail

[eternal garnet]

yes... it's important to plan a good spot

[carmine bobcat]

Build your base in the densest and thickest area of the creepvine forest and see as the creep vines creep into your base

[glossy prairie]

i did that in the og but with grass instead of kelp

so the floor of one of the rooms is just grass from the plateaus

[dapper phoenix]

I always ended up getting school fish invasions in SN

twisty bridges are twisty, hence funky moonpool connector

[glossy prairie]

this is how mine are connected

never had to worry about running into things

[dapper phoenix]

ah, I'm down at 150m where things are ... denser

with power lines strung to a solar farm at 15m

[glossy prairie]

most of mine is on icebergs

nuclear power is also much better than solar panels

[dapper phoenix]

did decently with thermal in SN... still madly hunting fragments

[carmine bobcat]

I haven't built a base in bz in ages but the last one I built was in the tree spires

[glossy prairie]

too many chelicerates there for me

it would be nice if i banished all the leviathans but i dont really want to do that

[cedar wadi]

My moon pool and scanner isnt connected to my base so they run out of power sometimes

[gaunt trench]

solar panels are great

[stoic surge]

Thermal plants are my favorite, just build and forget

[stoic surge]

It takes just two of em to power a base with a water filter running

[stoic surge]

Wow - it's kinda quiet in here today

[modest pagoda]

it is

omg its already 6:30 here

[stoic surge]

Yeah, where did the day go

[modest pagoda]

in the first day of school

[stoic surge]

Ah yes, my grand daughter started first grade recently

Ya know, one thing that cracks me up, when someone logs in here and the first thing they say is "What I supposed to do" or "Where Diamonds"

[modest pagoda]

I didn't know where diamonds where, found one and that was it

[stoic surge]

Maybe diamonds are the first 'difficult' things to find?

[dapper phoenix]

They're generally just in places that are stupidly deep, annoying, or both.

Like free-diving to 500m without the ultra oxygen tank or an easy shot to the surface.

[short stratus]

Yes

[dapper phoenix]

Also, hat tip... Never expected character profiles in the data bank to include Big Five.

[stoic surge]

I usually get my first batch of diamonds with the pengi-bot

[slate lance]

hi

[stoic surge]

How goes

[stoic surge]

Can you tell us what this is?

[dapper phoenix]

The personality code. Five traits - Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism, in this case on a scale from 1 to 5.

[stoic surge]

I've not heard of this rating scale, very cool tho

What

Are you looking for something?

[carmine bobcat]

Sorry but like, no. You're not getting any

[slate lance]

|| 2 big worms on land help ||

and there attacking me

[carmine bobcat]

Food

[stoic surge]

Walk without rhythm

[slate lance]

so i brong snowfox aka - || worm food ||

[carmine bobcat]

I have no idea what the worms could be, didn't get to that part yet

[slate lance]

vc?

[dapper phoenix]

Huh. Found a crashfish egg in a sulfur plant. Is that rare?

[slate lance]

yes

and no

[carmine bobcat]

Well I'm doing something else so final answer: no

[stoic surge]

Welp, I have tried building my main base in several locations, but I've decided my favorite is just next to delta island -- Any of my fellow Subnauts have a favorite spot?

[slate lance]

lilly pad

[stoic surge]

Near the surface, or deeper?

[slate lance]

surface

[stoic surge]

Ah yes, the view from atop a lilypad is quite nice

I mainly like the spot off the east coast of Delta for its central location, lots of minerals nearby, and thermal vents for endless power

Besides the view, what do you like about lilypads area?

[queen pivot]

What are those penguins for?

I can kill them that’s all?

[stoic surge]

You mean the adults, or the young?

[queen pivot]

Adults

[stoic surge]

All they do is attack if you mess with the young ones

[queen pivot]

Oh Alr

[weak vessel]

Can you dock the seatruck in thr moon pool with a module wttached

[stoic surge]

The modules will detach and stay below the moonpool

[modest pagoda]

the new dock will dock them with them

[stoic surge]

Soon, I hope

[gaunt trench]

"alright, everyone, 2.0 is delayed, shoo"

[stoic surge]

Harrumph, I say

[weak vessel]

New dock? New update?

[stoic surge]

So the Games-con thing is tomorrow, UWE is supposed to be talking about their new title, perhaps they'll announce something about Subnautica also ... maybe

[gaunt trench]

A sea monkey a day keeps the sadness away!

ngl this is cute

[stoic surge]

I wonder why the threat level isn't zero?

[gaunt trench]

The Sea Monkeys strike back

[stoic surge]

Maybe because of the swiping

[gaunt trench]

if anyone knows grounded, basically:
The Sea Monkeys want you gone...

[stoic surge]

Nah, our tools are just sooo shiny

Fun fact - if you let a sea monkey steal a flashlight that has no battery, somehow it will light up while he has it

[gaunt trench]

sea monkeys can produce electricity

[rocky sigil]

if you fight back when they try to steal your tools i bet they bite you lol

[gaunt trench]

they don't actually

[rocky sigil]

i know

[gaunt trench]

pretty sure herbivores try not to bite even in self defence

[rocky sigil]

why dolphin teeth then?

[gaunt trench]

dolphins are omnivores iirc

either omnivores or carnivores

[quiet wedge]

I had my first encounter with the shadow leviathan

I wanted to kill it and gave it like 20/25 headbutts with my seatruck, but it escaped

now, I have a question. Is the propulsion cannon arm for the prawn suit good?

[stoic surge]

Quite helpful in reeling in stuff from a distance, but tends to use alot of power over time

You can also use it to launch stuff, even from it's inventory, like crashfish (grenade launcher)

[minor musk]

[narrow ravine]

I don't think it's the animal itself but the fact it can take tools you need to survive

[stoic surge]

Probably the case

Those little buggers

[rocky sigil]

why post it twice and why post it here?

[short stratus]

Is there a keep calm poster in below zero?

[slate lance]

no

[oak fog]

posting this in the right category this time
this place freaks me out... so i'm making a base

[carmine bobcat]

Woaaaaan where is that

[oak fog]

like why are they so big 😭

[carmine bobcat]

Don't tell me i'll find it one day

Cuz big means cool

And beautiful

And majestic

[oak fog]

you have to go there for an ||al-an artifact||

[carmine bobcat]

I'll never know until I find this place

[oak fog]

i want to scan those things but i'm too scared to go up to one after the eye jelly accident...

[rocky sigil]

eye jelly accident?

[carmine bobcat]

Dewwiiiit

Crabsquids

I think

[oak fog]

i went up to scan an eye jelly awhile back and they closed in on me and shocked me to death cus i couldn't get away from them all LOL

[carmine bobcat]

Yea-hea

[oak fog]

still made a base just outside the glacial connection afterwards though lol

so they swarm my base when i'm inside it

[carmine bobcat]

I think I saw a smaller version of those

So pretty

[oak fog]

there's small ones and huge ones

[rocky sigil]

yeah, the thermal spires or purple vents iirc has a tiny one

[oak fog]

do they bite?

[rocky sigil]

i saw it right as i got jumped by a checilerrate thing

[carmine bobcat]

Is the Thermal Spires where there's a Chili something

[rocky sigil]

yes

[carmine bobcat]

Mofo didn't let me scan him

[rocky sigil]

the ||pilot last known postion|| has one lurking

[oak fog]

i go past the thermal spires a lot and i rarely ever find the chelicerate. i must be lucky.

[carmine bobcat]

That's not luck, that's misfortune

[rocky sigil]

they have a big area that they patrol and they dont attack often

they are super cool to watch

[carmine bobcat]

Cuz then you got that sweet beat coming in

[oak fog]

my favorite of the leviathans is the shadow. it's just so cool.

[carmine bobcat]

It looks stupid

[oak fog]

how come?

[carmine bobcat]

Cuz it can't use the power of the chaos emeralds

Kinda cringe

[oak fog]

do the huge octopus thingys hurt me?

i'm scared to scan it or get any closer to ||al-an's artifact|| because of it lol

[carmine bobcat]

Get closer

Come towards it

[oak fog]

[carmine bobcat]

Do not be afraid

What else does it say

[oak fog]

i have migrated maybe 30 meters from it's foot

[carmine bobcat]

Analyzing: Zero threats

[oak fog]

still in my seatruck

my thalassophobia is going wild right now lol

[carmine bobcat]

Imagine having fears

[oak fog]

ikr

i want to search it up but i also don't want to use the wiki and figure stuff out myself because it's more fun that way

[carmine bobcat]

About what?

[oak fog]

i'm gonna book it towards it's foot and scan it

then imma dip out and read the PDA entry on it

then i might come back. idk yet.

[carmine bobcat]

Try stabing it

[oak fog]

NO

[carmine bobcat]

Why not?

[oak fog]

I don't want to anger it

[carmine bobcat]

It's a stationary water fish plant thing

[oak fog]

attempting a peaceful negotiation with the squid looking thingy

i scan you and leave you alone and you don't kill me

[carmine bobcat]

I really wonder how a fish made of water is going to kill UNDER the water

[oak fog]

it's made of water??

[carmine bobcat]

I dunno looks like it

[oak fog]

i keep pressing shift and turning on my afterburner upgrade towards it lol

my seatruck is at 55% hp because of it

[carmine bobcat]

Try pouring salt on it

[oak fog]

the eerie music isn't helping 😭

[carmine bobcat]

They got spooky music now? Sick

[oak fog]

if this thing grabs me i'm literally going to scream

[carmine bobcat]

We are still talking about this right?

[oak fog]

the amount of times i've screamed when playing subnautica and my boyfriend has ran in thinking i was being murdered is crazy

yes

[carmine bobcat]

Imagine screaming as if you're getting murdered, which would be a 20 second scream if the killer is skillful

[oak fog]

i literally screamed when i jumped in the water for the first time in the original game

[carmine bobcat]

Same, I said "Canonbaaaall"

[oak fog]

felt like i was going to pass out when i saw the creepvine forest for the first time

i had to like

stop and gather myself again before going any farther

[carmine bobcat]

Should've gathered some vines instead

[oak fog]

i was so broken at that moment lol i was like "i'm not doing this today"

i scanned it

i scanned it and i'm alive

thank god

[carmine bobcat]

That's what they all say

[oak fog]

oh my god you can go inside the thing...

nope i'm out

[carmine bobcat]

YE-HEA

[oak fog]

seeya im not getting eaten today

[carmine bobcat]

It's porbably water inside

[rocky sigil]

wait those are dangerous?

also what biome

[oak fog]

no but i'm too scared to touch it

[oak fog]

idk this is my first time in this place

[rocky sigil]

what are they called?

[carmine bobcat]

Water underwater is very scary, can't deny that

[oak fog]

"vent gardens"

I booked it to the artifact lol I did NOT expect to be doing all this today 😭

[carmine bobcat]

You're telling me that something with the word "Garden" in it's name is frightening you?

[oak fog]

i have a deep fear and hatred for the oceans, of course i'm scared of a huge octopus looking creature that could easily grab me and eat me with no warning whatsoever

[carmine bobcat]

It's like a room if you can go inside it

[oak fog]

you saw what the crabsnake did in the first game right?

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah they would straighten their back and turn around

[oak fog]

i'm not trying to have anything like that jump out at me again

[carmine bobcat]

It's gonna happen anyway, it'll be a peeper coming out of nowhere dashing right in front of you

[rocky sigil]

they are honestly right, this is horrifying

and then its just this

[oak fog]

is that the thingy i saw?

[rocky sigil]

yes, its a vent garden

[oak fog]

hmm

[rocky sigil]

entrance

[oak fog]

imma go back to the entrance in a second

NVM

i hear chelicerate noises i'm out

back to lifepod I go

[rocky sigil]

all thats in there is spiral plant clippings (i think)

[oak fog]

where else can you get that?

or is it specific to that place? cus that's far from my lifepod

[rocky sigil]

its in a few other places

the deep purple vents ||south of the delta station dock, 700m away from it and go into the ravine||

[oak fog]

oh and while i was in the tree spires biome i also came across the void

[rocky sigil]

lol

[oak fog]

and i ran

i swear sometimes i feel like these fish purposely try to get hit by my seatruck

it's like the npc cars in GTA, they jump in front of you just to be annyoing

[carmine bobcat]

How many Parrarel Proccesing unit parts are there in the Mercury Shipwreck in the Lily pad Biome?

[oak fog]

3

I find it weird how I got to most parts of the story way before I was supposed to get there lol. Like I discovered the ||frozen leviathan|| wayyy before I even got the beacon to the glacial basin.

[carmine bobcat]

So far I've only found 2.

[oak fog]

I sketch a map of places and mark off rooms I’ve already been to

I had to do that with the Aurora in the first game, it was too big lol

I get lost easily

[steel stream]

There's a beacon marker you can get without finding phi robotics? I used the map of alterra sites found on one base and reasoned to go there as Sam worked in phi robotics...

[topaz gate]

can someone help...

and i didnt save for abt 1h

[bold monolith]

Share your Player.log.

%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero

[topaz gate]

theres player and player-prev

wich

[bold monolith]

Player.log.

-prev is for the previous session.

The previous time you launched the game.

[topaz gate]

ok and what i share from it

[bold monolith]

Just drag & drop Player here.

Or in DM.

[topaz gate]

yeah that will work

dm me w something

[bold monolith]

You only accept messages from friends.

[topaz gate]

here

[oak fog]

I just searched the top of the water and the caves near ||last known position|| and ended up finding an entrance to the glacial basin way before I was supposed to…

[bold monolith]

That was quite the trip.

[carmine bobcat]

Baby Sea monkey's are cute.

[oak fog]

Ikr we went from one side of the map to the other in search for resources. But I got 3 wall lockers full of just lead and gold so you can imagine how much titanium I got lmaooo

[stoic surge]

Yeah, too bad they grow up

[carmine bobcat]

He perfectly stood up right after I killed him.

[stoic surge]

It's kinda funny to kill them on a slope, they go slowly sliding downward

[carmine bobcat]

This one started flying and then dropped.

By flying I mean jumped as a corpse.

[stoic surge]

I saw a video a while back of someone using a vortex torpedo to make a couple of them go spinning through the air

[stoic surge]

I actually prefer to battle them with a Prawn suit fitted with the propulsion arm, there's no escape for them that way

[gaunt trench]

alright but, let's agree on something

the propulsion gun is pretty garbage

[topaz gate]

how to steer snowfox??

[eternal garnet]

just oversteer a lot

[topaz gate]

with mouse?

[glossy prairie]

yes

[topaz gate]

ty

[quiet wedge]

are ion batteries worth it?

[topaz gate]

yes

5 times more power

[cedar wadi]

I might make more i only have 1 ion cell and 1 battery

But i never find myself running out of power often

[carmine bobcat]

let this marinate in your noggins for a second, the stillsuit in bz recycles period blood.

[cedar wadi]

Yes officer this comment right here

[carmine bobcat]

what's the name of the bz character again?

[cedar wadi]

Robin

[carmine bobcat]

poor robin

Refuse Reuse Recycle

[next current]

Never heard of the stillsuit before.

[cedar wadi]

It got renamed i think

To water filtration suit

[fossil pier]

how can I enter here?

[gaunt trench]

Have you gotten AL-AN?

[fossil pier]

yeah

he's in my head

[gaunt trench]

huh um

[cedar wadi]

Is that near one of the wrecked bases

[gaunt trench]

no idea, what spot is it?

[fossil pier]

its in the deep lilly pad area

[gaunt trench]

||The cache can only be accessed if the player approaches it with Al-An inside their head.||

appareantly

try saving and quitting?

[fossil pier]

i've already did that

did it again and still didn't work

[carmine bobcat]

Does anyone know hat to get the tissues easy?

[cedar wadi]

Prawn suit

With jump jet

And you can get past the ||ice worm|| easily

[glossy prairie]

grapple arm

[cedar wadi]

Jump constantly for speed also

[glossy prairie]

you can travel at lightspeed

[carmine bobcat]

No like find the artifact

[cedar wadi]

Look around ice worm area for precursor tech

And then there should be a cave thing in the floor near it

Leading to it

[glossy prairie]

basically take the middle entrance and go in a straight line

eventually you'll reach a crossroads

im pretty sure you need to go right then left

[gaunt trench]

just follow cabling

[strange swift]

I can't break it in any way, is it a bug?

[glossy prairie]

you need to cut it from the other side

[carmine bobcat]

is this normal?

yall i glitched into 3rd person while using freecam

i cant send a video its too big and i dont have nitro

[next current]

Make sure you're close enough to it.

[wicked forum]

I played some of the original subnautica, and enjoyed it very much. Now I'm thinking about getting below zero. Is it good? Should I play it?

[gaunt trench]

it is pretty good, visuals and soundscape is great

but it's a bit more on the easy side

[strange swift]

absolutely, it is good, but its less scary

[wicked forum]

Honestly, I think I'd enjoy less scary because of be able to explore and build bases more freely

[strange swift]

there are a lot of structures too

[carmine bobcat]

the server is boosted

is the video over 100mb?

oh nvm the server isn't even level 2

that's sad

[gaunt trench]

it's level 3

[carmine bobcat]

14 boosts.

[gaunt trench]

yeah, 14 boosts is level 3

they changed it to be lower

[gaunt trench]

click on it

[carmine bobcat]

wait what

i thought level 2 was 15 boosts??

[gaunt trench]

it used to

they changed it like a few months back

[carmine bobcat]

oh they lowered it??

damn that's very poggers of discord

30 boosts for level 3 was insane

[gaunt trench]

yeah

[next current]

Lvl1 = 2 boosts, Lvl 2 = 7 boosts, and Lvl 3 = 14 boosts.

[wicked forum]

Well, I got it!

[strange swift]

have fun !

[wicked forum]

thx

Update: if anyone remembers I was wondering about water filter not producing salt yesterday. It was in a room at 10 m depth, and now I tested building another room at 20 m depth and there I got salt from the filter. So it's not just avout being underwater, it needs to be a bit deeper, but didn't start finding if for example 15 m would be enough. And I also checked that the original room at 10 m depth was totally underwater.

Not sure if this is something to update in wiki as it only mentions that if built above water the water filter will not produce salt. I didn't check the filter speed either, if the machine works slower as in 'dry land mode'

[stoic surge]

What platform are you playing on?

[steel stream]

Ps4

[stoic surge]

The water filter may behave differently on the different platforms, that's why I asked ... interesting findings tho

I usually play in Freedom mode, so I'm not very familiar with its workings

On a different note, it looks like all the Devs are logged in, aren't they doing the 'Gamescon' today?

[bold monolith]

Yes they do.

[deep kettle]

Gamescom is right now 😛

[stoic surge]

Is it in Discord?

[deep kettle]

Gamescom is a real life event.

They are live streaming it on Twitch and YouTube though: https://youtu.be/kf0w41SfT6g

[stoic surge]

OK, I'll go watch that, be back later

[bold monolith]

It should work, but maybe the origin point is not at 10 meters.

[next current]

Can I eat it?

[deep kettle]

No.

[gaunt trench]

meet garry

he's a little shy

[stoic surge]

Just finished watching UWE's bit ... Hmm ... I was kinda hoping they would have one that looked like a Prawn suit

[steel stream]

The depth gauge shows 10m when I'm standing inside the base next to the water filtration machine

[gaunt trench]

hands down my favourite PDA message

[open reef]

Best pda message is from the original subnautica when it gives you an update on your exercise and says your favorite activity has been swimming

[strange swift]

best pda message is the one when it says that you owe 3 million credits form the original Subnautica

[gaunt trench]

fair enough

but yeah "Or titanium, if you need help finding it........ for whatever reason"

[open reef]

I'm still in debt

[stoic surge]

My favorite PDA message was 'Detecting the bow of ...' as I literally am crashing into it because it suddenly spawned in front of me

Very thankful the repair tool has unlimited battery power in the Switch version

[hoary bison]

Does anyone have experience running mods in experimental branch?

[wicked forum]

Where can I find seaglide fragments?

[hoary bison]

around the drop pod

[strange swift]

near the spawn area

[wicked forum]

Found some, thanks

[hoary bison]

but also just kinda everywhere. Swim around and explore the sea bottom, it's impossible to miss

[bold monolith]

I doubt mods would work in the experimental build. Changes are too frequent.

If you want to play with mods, use the stable build and wait for the update.

[hoary bison]

Mm I figure as much.

But seatruck dock is the best mod 🙂

So I guess I'll just live without placeables snap tool

[stoic surge]

After the update, you won't need a mod for this

[hoary bison]

I think maybe you missed the joke

It's not worth giving up seatruck dock to play with mods

I'm not aware that anyone made an actual mod for it aside from the experimental branch content

[stoic surge]

I probably did, but I still am looking forward to the new toys to play with in 2.0

[open reef]

Just found the ||mercury II wreck|| and got inside, I found where I think the ||parallel processing unit|| is but the doorway is blocked by crates. I'm assuming I'll need the repulsion gun to get through that, right? Anyone know where to find the frags for that because I don't have it yet.

[gaunt trench]

kinda sad that all BZ 2.0 adds is one feature

while the OG literally gets everything that BZ had

[gaunt trench]

all you need to finish ||Mercury|| is a laser cutter

[open reef]

Are we talking just gameplay mechanics and stuff?

[gaunt trench]

the crates are just bonus loot

[gaunt trench]

OG gets buildings + pinning recipes from the BZ

[open reef]

There's a door that is blocked by crates

[gaunt trench]

yeah, it's just bonus loot

[stoic surge]

The OG will be getting the large room, glass roofs, and the surface hatch ... Also, the containment will look different in the large room

[open reef]

The square crates not loot ones

[gaunt trench]

yeah, it's just bonus loot

[open reef]

Isn't the ||parallel processing unit|| in there?

[gaunt trench]

it could be, but unsure

[stoic surge]

There are several you can find, don't have to get that one

[gaunt trench]

I did go in with only a laser cutter and looted all 3 wrecks

[hoary bison]

iirc there are viable routes around all crates

[gaunt trench]

I didn't know that it wasn't 1:1 lmao

so after I got only one I just got out as fast as I can since I hated it

[open reef]

Hmm I'll try and look for another doorway I guess

[gaunt trench]

also: they're not in the same looking places... that's what caught me

[stoic surge]

Yeah, at least inside Aurora there's some spots with air, unlike this one

[gaunt trench]

it has oxygen plants

[open reef]

Is there a vent that leads into the room

[hoary bison]

Aurora is a very different wreck type

[stoic surge]

It does, but I'm talking about rooms full of air

[open reef]

I think I see an opening in there

[stoic surge]

Yes, only partially under water

[gaunt trench]

Aurora isn't rusted, submerged and ripped to pieces

[hoary bison]

It makes more sense to compare Mercury II wrecks to the submerged ones in OG subnautica

And those have less sources of oxygen than M2

[gaunt trench]

those don't at all do they?

[hoary bison]

Don't think so no

[gaunt trench]

anyway, I went to the sparse arctic again and just now I realised that it has literally the best track in the game

[hoary bison]

M2 you can explore indefinitely using oxygen plants until you die of thirst.

[open reef]

I think I found a way

[gaunt trench]

I often find myself almost-drowning

like, anywhere

I have way too many "last second" moments

[hoary bison]

I only drown when building megabases on hardcore

[gaunt trench]

I just overestimate myself lol

[hoary bison]

You get too caught up in your project and suddenly screen is going dark with a large room overhead

😦

[gaunt trench]

that does suck

[open reef]

Got it

[hoary bison]

I'm going to try the vegetarian mode with longer days and nights

[gaunt trench]

fevered peppers >>>

[hoary bison]

Yep those really are stupid good
