Hey guys so I’m kinda lost on where to go from here
||I talked to marg at her greenhouse for the first time and then went to the distress signals and Alan went inside my head||
What am I supposed to do next
A little, nothing interesting
Your character is like « wow another alien base » but I think that’s all
"I wonder what it's for"
I really wonder why the old story was scrapped
writer quit for unknown reasons
More or less, but it’s hard to finish a story without the original creator
maybe the story wasn't liked. You can play maybe 70% of it on steam
yes, enter beta code: belowzeroearlyaccess. Pick EA8
I'm gonna do that now actually
Didn't it feature the old surface areas as well?
I kinda miss that one as well as it actually gave the glacial connection a purpose.
yes. all of it as it was circa summer 2020
well... there was a lot to do
Do I go back to marg?
Also, is it me or is this a picture of Sector Zero!?
Alan may give you places to go. The purpose here is to explore around those places
yes, but unclear and probably old story
There are clear maps
mhm like this one https://subnauticamap.io/belowzero
Up-to-date interactive Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero map of biomes, resources, lifepods, wrecks and all the other points of interests and collectibles.
although that still shows the old part of the arctic spires that linked back to that emergency supply cache area
Ok gotcha, so it’s like a waiting game at this point?
The main goal is to explore new areas. Bring a beacon or three
South. Lilypads. West, snowy land
You do, in fact I did exactly this last night, and I was surprised the place isn't even locked
whats the line?
Shall I just quote it, here?
"Do I look fat in this?"
what
When a woman says this, run away
yes
or say you look beautiful and dodge the question
good answer
"What is this place? Certainly Precursor in origin. But what's it for? Some kind of manufacturing? Why's it hidden all the way down here?"
interesting
I thought so too -- And nothing in there is interactable, or scanable
||then alan comes out of no where with a body and kidnaps you for going to the place||
I tried to get him to transfer into a pengi-bot, but it didn't work
That would have been amazing
It was a poor decision
shrimp
I did before and it tried to chase me down into the tree spires crevices
No it was trying to give you a fruit basket as a welcoming gift
Honestly I think this is the best jumpscare I have ever had in Subnautica: Below Zero
Cutie.
One of those moments where you just scream internally
But he ended up just laying on the ground for awhile I wonder why
its just making sure your not dead
I came back to my base earlier@to find it flooded from a mysterious creature
At least I assume that’s what happened
squidsharks could do that
My base is in purple vents, against delta island
sitting on top of a vent?
It's a good location -- most of the time
Except when you wander off and are interrupted by an explosion nearly killing you
then it was Herobrine
Ofc
Which one should I do first
||fix the bridge at the phi robotics|| or || go to the first location Alan’s revealed||
alan beacons. Their purpose is to make you explore nearby
I just pulled my aquarium module up next to a titan holefish, and I've caught 22 symbiotes
😭
Don't worry, there's plenty more --?
Put them in the bioreactor
That's my plan -- but Robin likes them too
Is there a character other than robin you play as or….
Robin Ayou is the player character
Ik that but
If you build a pengi-bot, you can drive it around

I can’t find lead in bz
so, i just re-started below zero to try out the new truck dock. and i can't access the truck's upgrades while it's docked, though the wiki says i should be able to. any ideas?
you can get titanium and lead, randomly, from galena outcrops. they're squarish dark-grey rocks, about the size of the normal limestone ones that give titanium and copper.
I went through like the lava vent purple blue area couldn’t find anything went through a large chunk of the crystal place found nothing went horizontally up the worlds edge and found none I’ve gotta like 2 pieces my whole game lol
But I found one in the crystal place
Texted that on the wrong server at first
The upgrades panel is blocked while in the new dock, you'll just have to do the upgrade swapping when it's not in there
lead can be found in the Galena outcrops, so use a mineral detector or a scanner room in the twisty bridges area, there's lots to find
Bet
yeah, galena is supposed to be pretty dang common all over the place, if you don't have any it sounds like your game bugged during world creation and you''ll need to start over. but as said above do check with a scanner room first, you might just be overlooking them.
They look just like limestones, but much darker
I do still miss the large lead deposits from the OG
Also using the highlight interactable option under accessibility in the menu just overall makes finding stuff easier
This tip helped me so much when I learnt it
Ikr? It helps a lot
I have mine set to yellow
I should probably use it next time I play then
I thought I read somewhere that galena could be found in the ||crystal caves|| but I've had no luck -- seems like there's big piles of everything else tho
Oh yea definitely there
Looks like a darker version of limestone, but no luck yet -- the search continues -- Man, I miss the large deposits
Really cool location tho
U can find a lot on the ground in the caves
Not on the walls, as usual?
Some on walls but when I did it was mostly towards the ground
Welp, I'm in my Prawn here, so that should work, if my bad luck doesn't stop me
GL
I am literally finding everything else
I just found one, and it was titanium, dang it
Yea might take a while
Haven’t played since the Seatruck dock update, and apparently all of the one-time pick ups respawned? So like, posters and pictures and PDAs. Obviously the last is useless (can’t interact) but double the pictures/posters is cool haha!
Why Oh Why did they leave out the large lead depositssss
I haven't played since I beat it 🤣
I’ve beaten it a couple times, just really enjoy the game!
Yea
I don't consider this game to be one I want to 'beat' as much as one I want to play, for enjoyment
For example, my current game is a 'custom mode' where I'm mostly exploring and enjoying the world the Devs worked so hard to create
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it i loved it just when I beat a game I usually don't play it for a while
Using the new custom menu, I have reduced the predator aggression enabling Robin to do some of that science stuff she loves so much -- and I quite like it too
Hey look it's Dwayne Johnson!
No...... Just no
small q, how do you grow large marblemelons?
You grab them in the greenhouse, and use an interior grow bed.
Then you just cut them when they're fully grown to grab the seed and you plant that.
i mean as opposed to small ones, how do you grow more specifically large ones?
so, what, just ensure the seeds are planted together in a 2x2 space, or something?
If you have a small marblemelon, if you cut it to get the seeds and you plant the seeds, they'll be large.
That's it.
Thats normal. NOT
😳
Can you get the spot lights from subnautica in BZ I have found the flood lights and stick lights but to the base mounted light
should i bring my prawn suit to get to the ||Architect Phase Gate Facility||?
Yes you can.
Where are they then as they are not in the standard build Tabs
More from me to life 🧬 the taking the cap on my cheeseburger and gown and with a lot better now is a lot of malls and gown with the cap and gown with the cap and gown with the cap
What would you do: Stay on Planet 4546B or leave in an Architects Space Shuttle?
its ||located just past outpost zero||, so probably not
u can bring it if u want to get there fast tho
I forgot to bring a beacon to ||phi robotics|| to mark where it is 
Looks like my prawn suits staying here while I take the sea truck back to make a beacon
Always bring a extra beacon
Ik I forgot to make a new one 😭
But at least I had my truck and prawn there so I can leave one there for a few
Phi robotics has a beacon marker of its own...
They may also be restricted to being 'small' if you plant the seed in a plant shelf or single planter, and only grow to be 'large' if they get planted in the interior growbed -- I think
If you mean in the PDA, I've not seen this option
There is a button at the top of the list that will toggle all at once tho
no
No, it's just that if you plant a big one you'll place one, if you place four seeds it will grow four big ones.
The seeds will always grow big marblemelons, wherever you plant them.
This behavior always has been the same in SN1.
i have barely played since beta, are the sea emperors still in the lilypad biome or did they remove them?
They're gone I think
nooooooo
dam i spent so long before i found the ||spiral plants||
I found mine at ||purple vents||
o i found them at ||the stationary leviathan thing||
The purple vents is a [mostly] safer place to get them
Sorry bud, they were cut from the game because of the major story change of 2020.
It's pretty cool that we have one music track with some of the old voicelines mixed in
Which track is that?
Not sure, I'll have to check, but I think it's 'Die Peacefully'
The newest track [rite of the deep] is kinda ... well it's not as catchy as the others, but it reminds me of how cool the promo video was
Really? I find it to be the best disk track in the game.
And poor, poor Fred, master of the jettison lever
Where did you find it.
There's a tech site due east of the drop pod, a platform with a crane, it's on one of the crates there, I think
Okay, thanks
Oh yeah
I dont even know what I am here for
I just discovered this place by accident throught a wheck
There's some cool scannables down there
ok I need like upgrades
since I came here with bare minium: just a calorie back and only depth upgrade seatruck
No suit upgrade, no nothing.
You might want to get geared up before exploring amongst the crystals
Don't expect to find any lead down there tho, I've been stomping around down there and found just 2 galenas, and both had titanium
i dont even know what to find in it
I got baited by lithium then kyanite in then we got that big ol issue
Yeah, that area is probably best done later, after you have many upgrades
The wise gamer saves often
yeah ofcourse I saved the moment I saw that dude
but rn I dont even know how to progress, I played this game so wrong
I got alot of components scanned, suits and upgrades but didnt find habitat builder until I got kyanite
dont ask how I managed
Wow -- Have you built a base?
The Seatruck is good to have, in fact it's my favorite Subnautic vehicle now
im just glad to have a base now
the moment I was allowed to make a modification station I had enough stuff stored to make mk3 depth seatruck right away :^)
I got no clue
couple of hours ago I stopped some sattelite but nothing happened after that
and I forgot where am supposed to go
Did you disable the tower?
Then you should have gotten a message from the lady
Did you use the panel after to do the disable?
ofcourse lol
I know im supposed to meet her again but I forgot which beacon she was at
Some players don't -- anyway, you should go see her in her ||greenhouse|| which is 1.100 meters east of the southern coast of the island
Yes.... just yes
There's no beacon for this one
ah, so thats why
considering how much I wandered aimlessly
im suprised I didnt find it yet
cheers ill see if I can find it
I recommend you search for it at night, it has light sticks along the coast
It is on top of an iceberg.
Same.
I got an new profile picture.
Nice
Which ending is better? Subnautica or Subnautica below Zero?
Both ending are very good
But BZ's ending is more open than the Subnautica one
In Subnautica you know you will just || return to your planet || while in BZ you and || Alan || will see what has happened with his || species ||
but ||you don't get to see that||
I tried following alterra map to reach phi robotics
Find the iceberg isles "hey its according to map!"
"Warning! Enter ecological deadzone"
I aint very good at using maps tbh
Is there a way to see coords in vanilla without losing achievements?
Coordinates are not related to using the console.
I wonder how they do it on console by the way.
yes, PC: F1. "camera position" middle
does bz have achievements in epicgames?
yes
or is it just a steam thing
I think it does
huh i didn't know epic had achievements, can't see in store page
Epic doesn't have achievements.
If you ever entered a command, the cheat flag is set and saved into your game (when you actually save). It doesn't affect other savegames
Cheers lads for info
oh, weak.
It has been in the todo list for a while, it probably won't ever have them.
sad, thanks for the info tho
i mainly use steam but there is price diff between eg and steam now so maybe cheevs not that important but i still kinda don't want to divide my game libraries
steam is far, far better with the beta system
ooh right, there was a recent update too
but that would be released to all of em i guess?
whast is this moulin in the iceberg? I cant seem to find it
it just means it's hollow. Not important, may contain magnetite, gold, silver
Use the scope on your seaglide near it, it will show the entrance and passages
Did you happen to know, you cannot release fish while inside the Seatruck dock?
||I mean it lead to me a precursor sattelite so its good no?||
I just tried to use my prop canon to launch a fish into my Seatruck dock, it impacted at the threshold and went SPLAT
Subnautica Below Zero X Lego.
Just curious, do you know why or who got the beta thing for below zero added?
wdym not important, this thing was so rich of resources like holy hell
which beta thing? There's historical versions, and dev test versions, a speedrunner version (?), and experimental = latest beta
Experimental
The question is unclear, can you reformulate?
it's unusual that this is public, but not unusual to have one. Steam is far superior for developing to
I think UWE likes to have some enthusiasts testing the latest code
being a small team
it's sort of part of the EA strategy, after release
Edit
It wasn't added later in the development, it's there since EA1.
Just like SN1 had it since early access.
Legacy was literally added because of the CPU requirement change
The speedrunners branch in SN1 was added because at some point DepotDownloader broke.
Agreed
DepotDownloader
rare spud input!
What was that? Something to download old ver of game?
Did you even know the speedrunner branch was a thing, Potato? :þ
Yes. It works again now.
You can download a specific manifest.
So if you know the id, you can download pretty much any update there was.
Has anyone run into issues with Marguerit's greenhouse where half of it is filled with glacier terrain preventing access to the PDAs?
no....
if it's bad like that in your save too, it's fixable, if you are on steam or Epic
It might be fixable on the MS store too. I should test if you can just add the ".delete" prefix in ProgramData.
On the batches that are corrupted.
I did try to save/exit and come back in and it was still there. I am using Steam.
".delete" is something added when you upgrade the batches in the updates.
I don't remember if it's exactly ".delete" but it's something like that.
It's odd if you have it on reload.
I shall get the batch #
It means it is either a rock not at the right place, in this case you have to remove the batch, but if it's the voxeland you have to verify the game's files.
Because the terrain isn't saved anymore since they got rid of the terraformer tool.
batch 18, 19, 7
Can you go to your savegame folder? it's something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SubnauticaZero\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot0000
you have to pick the right slot000x, using file dates. If you have more than one
I have the save location pulled up.
ok. Simply delete CellsCache\baked-batch-cells-18-grp0.zip
Then load game
Can I grow creepvine clusters in alien contamiment? So I dont have to go to start area for more oil and fiber?
no, I think they don't grow tall enough
so can I somehow harvest them by my base? like outside planter?
I am not sure. if you want to try, plant seeds not leaves
yes. outside. Plant a seed or 3
Cuts from the vine will just grow vines in exterior planter. Clusters samples will grow vines with more clusters in exterior planter.
@summer grove I think there's a risk of the door status being wrong. Eg. Locked.
Loading the save now. Will take a min or two to get back to the greenhouse location.
Terrain is still blocking half the greenhouse.
well. If you want to use cheats, "warpforward" into the terrain
warpforward takes an argument, meters. default is 3
Won't that negate my achievements?
future ones, yes
So is this a bug or....?
probably what Ignis said, or you removed the wrong file / wrong save
Did something change? A PDA returning?
or, you saved game when quitting after deleting the file
I just started playing this again about a week ago after deleing all the existing saves. The only thing that I would could consider off, is that I started the new game originally on my Steam Deck.
You have to go back to the main menu when you remove the file.
You don't necessary have to remove the entire zip either.
It's a bit overkill.
It's possible they were still in-game when they did it.
the save folder won't change until you save. Ingame or not doesn't matter, but you must not save after deleting
I deleted the 18 grp0.zip file with the game itself closed out and then restarted it from Steam.
That isn't good either, because of Steam cloud.
That's why you want to be in the menu, at least the game is launched.
When you'll close it afterward, the cloud will synchronize from PC => Cloud.
And not the other way around.
ok. Try again, now in the menu
delete, load game
@bold monolith do you think the door will be unlocked?
Yes, it's probably a storygoal that changes the door state. Not something saved in the batch itself.
Ok, so this is all messed up. As far as I can tell, there are two greenhouses now. The original one I found with a ramp sticking out over the water and terrain blocking half of the inside.
...and the other one is now one a nearby glacier with a flat top and no way to reach it.
I believe according to a video I watched were someone made it to the greenhouse there should be like a land bridge to it but for me it just an open gap.
This doesn't even sound like Below Zero any more
some pics would be nice. Could this be a very old save, pre may 2021?
you can reset chunk zip 17 too, that may help
Deleted all the existing saves through the main menu before starting this one. As they were all prior to the story update.
What is the best way to get a screenshot from Steam to Discord?
Remove the CellsCache folder entirely, you might have a mix between saves pre-2021 (previous cloud) and your new one.
With half of the batches from a previous 0000 and half of the batches from your new one.
ouch. use that as last option
I don't see why you would have two greenhouses otherwise.
Steam overlay, screenshots. Use F12
paste url's or drop files or paste copied actual images
Did that come through?
cute
Yeah if it wasn't story blocking. lol
probably the far one is the right one. oriented the right way
delete zip 17 and 19 too, in the main menu. You may save here
Tried the 17 already. Should I try all 3 again at the same time and reload?
yes, and after that entire folder like Ignis suggests
it'll reset the world: rocks, structures (not yours), leviathans, PDAs, pickups. Not vehicles
Very impressive
nice
You may have more issues in places you haven't noticed yet. The fix is ignis' suggestion
I also think it mixed a save from 2020 with your new save. Possibly steam cloud sync, because I am angry with it
Yeah, I have noticed a few places with terrain that seemed out of place or floating resources.
I worry for the glacial basin. To reset all of that, remove zips 8 and below.
I might run with what I got until I run into another situation where I seem blocked for no reason. If so I will probably try the above mentioned scorch earth approach.
Appreciate all the help!
yes, it can wait til then
Hey guys does anyone know an easy way down to ||architect artifact x3]||
This is the first one he revealed if that helps
I found a nearby cave system, the one with the nests, but it’s not seeming to lead to where the thing is
Idk
best is to google for video on ||artifact x3j||
What I’m doing now
it's in a kelp root cave
I’m in that cave
Just trying to find the way is
Found it
Dying of thirst now but whatever
Anyone have any pointers on how to find the entrance to ||phi robotics lab|| once you cross that bridge cause I’m lost
Yeah, go back, the place isn't across the bridge
What’s the point of the bridge
to get to a later area. From the dock/radio mast, go west
Once you get closer, you'll get a signal
Got the dialogue ok no wonder I was lost
an important clue you get when crossing the bridge. maybe it won't fire next time. What you want there up north, is north-east. Try to remember for later
While you're in that area, I recommend you sample some Peppers, they're yummy -- and plantable
and good for you not becoming an icicle
or a Robin-cicle
How weird would it be if you came across some Alterra people just frozen in blocks of ice
Lolll
Also need to find the other 2 snowfox fragments… are those here? I found the pad but
one inside phi, others scattered in the snow outside
Hmm must’ve missed the 1
Don't worry too much, there's plenty scattered around
no, south of the bridge
I’m searching up the ladder by phi, already found 1
By the way, if you hear any kind of 'roaring' sounds, turn around
Alrighty done and already have all the ingredients minus lubricant
How do you transport the snowfox through water??
you can pick it up, though it's 9 slots
Now to figure out what to do with this ||spy pengling||
no water, and don't feed it after midnight
hi gamers
i did some off camera mining
(spoiler warning u hav been warned)
||are there more of them or only 2?||
2 more in a different, deeper part
that does make me wonder tho, ||is the ice worm killable?||
it isn't
aww
There's a dead one for scanning, northeast
wait should i be spoiler tagging ||prawn suit considering it exists in 1st game||
nah
What’s this mean 😭😭
just no water, and a Gremlins joke
Alrighty then 
Strangely, the pengi-bot isn't water proof
Project got canceled before they got that far, I imagine.
Yeap
Which is itself a seeming plot hole. Zeta was assigned to Phi, too. Where was she sent after they shut it down?
It was just Lil and Sam at Zero.
I think after the events revealed in Sam's story, all personnel were evacuated
After the whole story played out, yeah. but there was a time gap between Sam being at Phi and at Zero. Was Zeta just staying at Phi doing nothing?
I need to get through sams storyline
She sure left it a mess, lol
I assume the Vesper.
I sort of suspect either Sam or Marge did that. Just because I don't imagine Zeta just causing a cave-in for seemingly no reason.
In fact, from what I've seen, all the facilities are jacked up some way or another
Delta just has some broken windows. Not exactly hardcore sabotage there.
Fred did it -- he breaks everything
No, he loses everything.
It was the birds.
Aw man, not the birds??
I mean, if its not one of the people, it has to be the birds, given their seeming history of causing problems for Jeremiah.
Plus, the only other thing on delta are the penglings.
Yeah, it's like their droppings are nitroglycerin
They're not really birds, they're the young form of Bazelgeuse
I thought the Vesper was removed from the game entirely. Was there a reference to it in one of the PDA logs?
It's only seen in the intro. I just refer to it as the Vesper because that's what it was in the old story.
It's referred to as a satellite in the intro lol
Ehh... same thing.
I'm currently playing EA8.1, do you know how to access the ending of the game?
There is none. The old story was never completed.
In that story wasn’t Sam alive
Yeah she worked on the Vesper
How come this exists ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vMwyca-FMM||
This is the ending from the old story, before the story rewrite
No she never died
thats the actual ending with bad graphics
Nah uh look at that top corner
...it still the ending for the game
most likely the early access is just that its early access for this version of the game
iirc the latest the first story got was the forcefield thing
is there a more efficient way to get lithium than under the || twisty bridges||? I can only find like 3 or 4 at a time
"The old story was never completed"
There are many around the purple vents area
your vehicles I believe?
well, like achievements
i have a cube a seatruck i think and maybe a prawnsuit cuz i just got the prawn
I think they show the vehicles you've made
theres seatruck, getting your friendly brain bug, prawn, snowfox, when you build brain bugs body
also is the fab, storage, and dock the best combo for the seatruck
personally, I barely used the prawn so I would say fab and storage
Depends on who you ask, everyone has preferences
ok
i mean if i take the prawn i would prob take off the fab
then like swap them around
I like the cab-aquarium-fabricator combo -- I call this one the 'chow wagon'
cab?
teh driving one
cab = front
oh
i have a locker full of spiral plant clippings
but i also dont have a single quarts
oh yeah and i just found that mining site
Quartz can be found many places, especially in purple vents area
yeah i know i was just like saying
Oh ok
i just went to the iceworm area and i prob wont need any more silver for the rest of my life
Yeap, there's alot
Jeremiah cracks me up, he's like 'those dang birds are out ta get me!'
ik
i like fred
OH CRAP
i just added a moonpool and now my base integrety is at -4
I NEED LITHIUM
20 HOLES
Wowsers
Afraid he can't help, lol
i might uh go get some lithium
You might try putting an "I" section between each room, with a bulkhead, this takes just titanium and a silicon rubber
very useful
ok i now have the lithium
that was rather stressful
what does the afterburn upgrade do cuz i have it installed but it looks like it just takes away 2 energy
Afterburner gives a speed boost, but be careful, it's an unstoppable surge
oh
cool
i came looking for titanium but all i found was copper
suffering from success by drake
there any way to get the placeable items from the original game into below zero using console commands?
idk
i can spawn in the items themselves but i cant place them as they are a black box in my hand, even if the asset exists in below zero
I would love to collaborate on this, but I cannot
Anyone know if subnautica 3 will support VR?
I am exploring the ||mucury 2|| and i cannor find the third ||parralell proccesing unit|| any help?
Or if it will be UNreal engine 5? That would be incredible...
Heres hopibg it supports dlss too
Bring extra ||O²|| lol it's an extensive exploration
i got my ||seatruck|| lol
“below zero isn’t bad” i say
i just started a new playthrough
and i literally hven’t even gotten to the first part of the story and there’s already a giant bug
Tbh it's too tricky to try n give directions, I just did an entire swim-thru of it and eventually came up on two of em, you might get lost n drown lol
The entire alan sanctuary didn’t load
like, not even the entrance arch, i go in the airlock and the enture thing after the ruined maze thing is just empty
no cube, no alan
like i really want to say that below zero isn’t bad and subnautica is batter but this is doing nothing but cementing my opinion more and more
like, i get that bugs happen but to literally have one this major before i’ve even started the (pretty lame) story is dissapointing
It honest to god baffles me how below zero is such a sheer decline in quality gameplay wise compared to subnautica
despite that i still adore the art and creatures with all my heart
especially you, my beloved Seatruck.
Do i need to go to other|| mercury two ship pieces|| or can I get them all from one?
you have to go to them all
the last time i went to the ship, the ship literally just didn’t exist
but i already found two fragments in this one
i really feel like i would appreciate below zero if the story wasn’t so admittely god awful
case in point the crashed ship
“oooh there’s three pieces but you actually can ignore one we put like 2 in one of them”
i genuinely think alot of below zero is basically just a glorified fetch quest with your goal almost always being “go ___ to get ___” or “get ____ to progress to the story so you can go _____”
i really hope someday below zero improves, i absolutely know it can
i mean hell the dock update was a step in the right direction
I finally found a use for these things I picked up a month ago, lol
'Flowering spore driveway lights'
i was about to stop exploring but then i found a door taht needed to be cut so i cut it and there were so many ||prawn suit || freagments
small q, what exactly are those little symbols on the save files in the menu? i think i recognize base, seatruck, and prawn suit, but others i'm not so sure about, and i can't find a wiki page that talks about them.
i love the crypto
I love the currency
why
cryptocurrency is stupid and nothing will ever convince me otherwise
It is stupid
shoutout to the most dumb creature in below zero
his name is subhead and he is a single celled organisim
speaking of dumb stuff
i like how below zero is like “ooo the big scary iceworm is mean and hears vibrations”
but they also immediately say the thumper repels it
I haven't found that thing yet...
like okay sure it just hates this specific vibration, sure bz
i mean
Previously it was attracted to it and attacked it constantly and it looked kinda goofy
wouldn’t the iceworm just.. attack the vibrations it’s hearing
also i like how we kept the thumper but not the mining thing
Well wouldn't a dog jump at the deafening whistle?
Below zero’s alphas looked so much cooler
These aren’t sonic waves, this is literally just a disc hitting the ground
It seems like Below Zero kind of increased and decreased in scale and ambition a few times, which combined with a pandemic probably helped caused a lot of the development problems/issues that happened
Oh that pandemic
This is gonna sound stupid, but I wish it were possible to height snap the foundation plates to the bottom edge of the seatruck dock opening. I had hoped to set it up so the foundations looked like a runway, with the dock as hangar.
Stupid question but i need it awnsered for art-
Are al-ans colors based on his emotions? If so what color means witch emoitions-
a couple more practical questions, regarding torpedoes(as i've never used them). how long does the vortex torpedo's vortex last? and if you fire 2 gas torpedoes at the same target at the same time, do they take damage twice as fast, or did you just waste one torpedo?
U wasted one, and vortex torpedos last around 7 seconds
so i'm going to need a lot of magnetite. still better than trying to get in a fistfight with the bloody leviathans, even if they don't have fists and you're in a robot.
It's... hard to tell. I don't believe we've gotten a proper answer as to how their coloring works.
Ah okie,
Gusse ill have to make my own color emoitions stuff
It would be logical if it would instead attract the worm like in Dune
why does it constantly break down? as soon as I put it on the floor, I connect, and it breaks down. I didn't even press anything
They blow up if they get wet, so you may need to deploy it further away from the water
ahh, got it, thank you.
RIP Pengi-bot, we barely knew him
i already destroyed 3 pengi-bots this way...
Ouch
Sad spy penguin noises.
I tried the 'self destruct' once, to see what happens, and he said 'goodbye' just before blowing up -- I swore to never do it again
btw, i discovered this location (don't know how it's called in english, Fi?) and still have no habitat builder blueprint. Where can i find it?
There's one you can scan on a crate outside the ||building on Delta island||
well, i thought i will find it on other stations but not where i already was, lol. Anyway, thank you again
Hello, I experience an issue since last update. When I start the game, only the warning screen appears. I can hear the sound of the game (main menu), but cannot see it. May someone help me please?
I think you will like the new features, be sure to try them all
Ok, thanks for a tip
BUT, even if I get the latest versions of mods it still doesn't work with them. There is some problem with BeplnEx (game works without it)
You probably don't have the latest.
anyone know of a bug that prevents you from scanning see monkey nets
I don't sea any reports of it
hmm strange
iirc you can scan one, once, and if there's a fragment present it can be scanned instead -- you might double check if you've scanned one already, or try a different nest
Did my suggestion help at all?
Hmm, I just took my Prawn down into the 'inactive volcano' and the bgm from the ||crystal cavern|| started playing
where would i find the dock modual on the map?
purple vents crevices
Deep Purple Vents.
Tol.
Do note that BZ does have a vertical build limit!
And when the SN2.0 update drops, so will that game.
What?
Build limit is a L this is a sandbox game let me break it
And if building too high breaks the game that’s my own fault
SN1 shouldn't have a restriction on the height. I remember it was removed when this was backported.
Agreed
115m above ocean. A very suspicios looking cloud, there
I really like the terrace.
Never mind it's a diving board.
Anyway, no SN1 won't have any height restriction.
It was? Dang.
what is this? Can I grow it?
egg of a ||titan holefish||. Grow it in alien containment
I should build a tower to the build limit
I wonder, is there a mod that removes the build limit?
I love those fellers, need to collect more of them
I hate them
they are so evil, providing o2 and stuff
yes!
Because it hinders your movement speed so now comes the question
it takes more time to move,which drains more oxygen
so is it net gain positive or net neutral tho
where do i find the ||spiral plants|| to get the ||spiral plant clippings||?
Deep Purple Vents or inside ||the ventgarden||.
use a seaglide
or fins
why do you have pronouns in your roles tho
It's a matter of personal choice here, you don't have to specify
I don't think that's available here
Now don't be judjey, fish are people too
i was gonna correct you
people?
have you been listening to anti-pronoun propaganda? It's a part of English, since before English was
that offends me
no saying we are people
This is the first time I've chatted with a fish in Discord, be patient with me
flop flop
is there a way to transport the snowfox from 1 part of the map to the other?
idk
Pick it up
can u pick it up?????
i havent gotten to the point in the game where i even have a seafox sadly
Mouse over the rear end and it should say 'pack up Snowfox'
o
It folds up like a transformer
intresting
If on your hotbar after, you can change the battery also
guys what happens if a shrimp picks up my seatruck while im in it but no driving
Do not yell at the game. It will not help.
mhm
wdym self destruct
actually it did help
Do squidsharks or whatever they're called grab your seatruck like in the trailer? Or is it only when outside?
what
oh wait i know what you mean
idk i really have gone close to a squidward outside my seatruck but all they do to your seatruck is take away the energy then in 5 secs you get it back
they also damage your seatruck
energy? im talking below zeero not the crabsquid
lmao that doesn't make sense but ok ig
They don't grab the vehicles.
search it up
im currently in the mines rn drilling for titanium
im talking theese guys
yeah they take away energy
pengling
haha! its good to be back in the prawn
oh that
yeah i know
i got it yesterday
where do i get ||magnetite||???
I found this with my scanner room on delta island but I’ve searched what feels like the whole island and found nothing, any ideas on how to get there?
I found mine in deep lily pad caves
yes, there's a pengling cave with diamonds in there
Where-
well... only way I know is: go up top to Delta base. Face the entrance, go past it left side and down the stairs
got a lot of gold rocks too
Ok I’ll try that thanks
Wow thanks that worked extremely well
What do I do tho at the research thing
Or is the tiny cave it
these are all pengling caves. Only one of those is very important
Gotcha
hi
how can you play roblox - doesn't even have peepers
it has crepeepers
crash fish?
The Sign item seems to clip through surfaces when placed in about half of all valid locations. I see this on large room walls as well as large room partitions. This makes the Sign item relatively unreadable in most places, anyone else seen this?
You find any fixes? I like labels for my freestanding Lockers in my crafting rooms
And unlike Subnautica there’s only one sign item to craft
Not really, unless you can find better placement for it.
Tbh I’ve played Subnautica and BZ so much now, I have a set way I arrange my lockers so I don’t really need labels anymore, but I feel your pain
Well sometimes that’s true for me too, but it doesn’t look as cool in screenshots or videos😂
True
The only other thing I can think of is a picture frame and taking a picture of text to put in it but that sounds tedious
Or a picture of the item haha
Yeah, I did think of that too, but they are pretty big in comparison
I don’t remember if labels have the same issues on wall dividers, but I think they do as well
That screenshot is of a wall divider, large room walls are also bad, whether you’ve put in windows/reinforcement or not
Oh I see. Yeah, I thought they had issues, but couldn’t remember for sure
I mean giving the Locker item a label space would also work, like a Wall Locker, but it’s never had one
I wish they’d done that from the beginning, it always irritated me the large lockers didn’t have their own label space
It doesn’t make a lot of sense honestly
I also want my aromatherapy lamps to stay on between saving and loading but that’s just a nitpick😂
A way to kill lighting in certain rooms would also be dope, not sure if control room allows for that in a way or if it would keep anything in that room from working
So basically a fabricator in that room wouldn’t work and a reactor would shut down?
Didn't try a power source, but yes
Is there a full list of BZ scannable items and items that can be made with your constructor somewhere?
sort of: start a creative game
or enter cheat: unlockall
If you don't save after that, achievements are safe
Did the new update fix the graphic issues?
I have all the achievements. I am just farting around building massive bases in the end game, wondering if I’ve found every secret
Not the ones I cared about, not sure which graphic glitches it did fix
They fixed color banding
What didn’t they fix?
Is that the really fuzzy quality in the dark?
I have no idea honestly
color banding, left https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rWAp7E6OLok/hqdefault.jpg
These were from PS5 before the recent fix release today showing severe light banding issue for those who don’t know what it looks like
Haven’t checked the update out yet
Basically a “halo-banding” effect is what it looks like
Thank you
The Sign item clips through walls making it both unreadable and look like crap
Ah
They could probably fix it by giving it some depth instead of making it effectively 1 pixel thick
Because of limited resources, efforts were concentrated on the most severe issues. Perhaps not what we’d all consider ideal, but that’s how game development goes. Plus they were working on adding the seatruck dock. And they’re still working on improvements and fixes for Subnautica.
All while working on another game, Moonbreaker.
It’s inevitable people (devs) get shifted around, so that means minor stuff that doesn’t impact the core gameplay, as much as we’d love to see it all get fixed, that just doesn’t happen for most games no matter the studio
truth was spoken
I understand how software development works, it just sometimes sucks, that’s all
I'm just glad the Devs are still doing stuff with this, my favorite game series, even after it's been out a while
guys i just ||cured the kahraa in the levithan||
is there any point of coming back to the ice place now?
If you follow the other storyline, you'll be back
the ||alan one||
yeap
I would say, yeap
damn
i got lost there looking for ||phi robotics||
i almsot crapped myself there
Oh, your lost-ness has only begun
Hi please bear with me I am new to the gaming world. I am playing below zero and currently working on building my base. I want to deconstruct a piece of tube / pipe with a reinforcement attached to it. I am trying to deconstruct the reinforcement but it will not deconstruct (builder tool in hand while using the Q key. Is it possible for this glitch to fix itself or will this random tube stay put?
is "reinforcement" a foundation?
foundations must be removed last. There are window reinforcements, those are more useful
It's not a foundation, it is an exterior piece applied to stop the water bursting in....
did you try removing it from the inside
I don't know, it should deconstruct
You probably have something like a wall locker or battery charger attached to it inside, go remove that stuff first
I can't add a hatch to get into the tube
Reconstruct the tube, as long as you have some titanium in your inventory you should be able to do that, and make sure you have a titanium and a quartz for the hatch
I sure there is nothing inside it was the hallway to get to the sea truck docker...
Also make sure your inventory isn’t full, you cannot desconstruct if you run out of inventory space for the materials used in construction
I wanted to move the dock which I did but now I have this random piece of base.
Dunno, those are the major reasons you cannot deconstruct something, if those don’t work I don’t know what else to try
Thank you for your suggestions.....
We need a video.
So I recently started playing bz any tips?
You won't have a signal for everything, and the usual advice when you don't know what to do in Subnautica, which is "go deeper", doesn't necessary work in this game until you're close to the end. So, be aware of the conversation you have when you explore, and read the PDA. Some early technologies are placed close to you, don't miss them. I'm thinking about the rebreather and high capacity tank. A beacon would be deployed on death in this game, you might want to have one with you, and the pathfinder tool might help you to explore the land maze.
Alright thanks man
What is your Favorite Vechicle.
Who you asking
Everyone
Oh mines probably just the base seatruck with no modules because it has the option to be upgraded if needed but it also has the maneuverability of a seamoth my all time favorite is the seatruck with the docking module so you can easily transport the prawn suit
I agree, the Sea Truck with a Storage Module and the Docking Module is perfect.
rip the new update is crashing my game constantly
Do you have the game on Steam?
playstation
Even in new games?
Why the Sea monkey bring you items? Because of ||Alan||? They like the Precursers?
not rlly
Because of ||Al-An|| yes, as for the reason it isn't really explained.
Okay
Is the new update out?
Can we play the seatruck place now? On all platforms and countries?
Hello, does someone use QMod manager and can play Below Zero without any issues?
Yes, it's out, for all owners of BZ
didn't face any issue with qmod manager on bz
The base building in this game takes some practice, but the good news is we get all materials back when deconstructing, so no worries
I have some some problem with it (maybe BeplnEx). I got the latest version from Nexus, however every time I run the game, it only shows the first warning screen.
TBH with the new custom menu full of new toys to play with, mods are pretty much un-needed now
Nexus doesn't have the latest. https://steamcommunity.com/app/848450/discussions/0/3486371787138266134/
That works, thanks
was it previous not available?
According to the posting in 'announcements' it was released on 9/13
Some mods are broken because of the update, check the Subnautica modding site in my about me for a list
also is it worth making the sea-truck Storage Module
Yes
The fabricator module is my personal favorite, for the fabricator [of course] but it also has one locker in it already
do celicerates grab on to the prawn suit as they do to the seatruck
I have been lucky enough to never find out, but I mostly use my Prawn for mining, so not much contact with shrimpie boy
I have played this game [and the OG] for several hours and still haven't killed a leviathan -- Just don't see the point
can ice worm be killt?
No longer have to deal with them once their dead
Yep
I don't deal with them at all, really
Life is easier without chelicerates at vents and at the leviathan thingy with spiral plants inside it, and with no squidsharks at the lilypads
Or you can adjust predator aggression down to zero and none of them bother you in the first place
I think you're mistaken here.
I'm sure there's plenty more
can you build a base inside a vent garden?
rip i found a piece of magnetite that’s impossible to get
can they make a update for this
I'm so proud of the base I built last time I played. I don't think i could top it if I played again
it had a main lab/living area up on top of a lily pad, with a looooooong tube extending down to the ocean floor (instant traversal due to the ladder mechanics lol) where the bulk of the base lived with lots of storage and vehicle access
🐟
free aquarium module🤌
it took my pilot place now i can't drive it 😢
yep
Go away then come back it will disappear. Or save & load.
i will try it now
Corpses go away when you unload them, and they are not saved.
wow, it worked. Thank you. i already was ready to forget this seatruck
anyone on i just managed to accidentally softlocked myself
would co-op work for subnautica 3 or not really
i hope SUBN3 will be at least 3 times as big as the 1 and 2 and they make every world different like there could be like 2 billion different seeds you can generate randomly when you first start up the game.
it makes me so happy that the jukebox has so many good songs, most of them fan-made!
it's just such a cool touch, and they make your base so much more comfortable
the songs nail the atmosphere of the games
But what about the tutorials 🙃
It would be cool to have a setting that would enable random seeds, but it would have to be manually turned on
i doubt well over half of people use tutorials
*snipe
this is not good.
Uh oh
i just found it. He is my neighbour.
What is his name
May I suggest: Mr. Shrimp
perfect
Scientific name: Shrimpicus maximum
Btw where is your base?
in 300 meters from Delta station. left side
is this not possible?
Purple vents?
It's too close to the ground = no
My base is in the purple vents, or whatever they are called (next to one ventgarden
Yeah that’s the purple vents
I have two neighbours there, both want to eat me as a snack
Annoying shrimp
Well yes
Threaten them by turning them into scampi
But it's a observatory
Oh that’s cool
Nah their brain is too smol to process that threat
Fax
almost
Oxygen
What is the chelicerate called in your language (please use "normal" alphabet)
Reke
Helicerka (Ukrainian)
Or that’s shrimp
In my language (Finnish) it's Koukkuleuka
is it spanish language?
Norwegian
i think it looks even better now
chelicerate= chelicerat
I had a school task to do, we had to write a story. So I wrote down the half of the subnautica below zero storyline
🫡
In a school task I wrote down subnautica below zero lore

My cousin had to write about a cat that had done something important so he wrote about Floppa
how does the|| thumper ||work??
It repels it.
so I was somewhat right at least😅
so do i just put it down on the open ice where the ice worm is?? and it wont attack me??
Nah nah... you're fine.
uhm.. i have a question
sup.
||I found a snowman in an underwater mask that I needed at the zero station. I scanned it and got a snowman's plan, but not a mask. I thought I'd get it by destroying the snowman, but it just disappeared. so it should be? and will I be able to find the mask somewhere else?||
I'm afraid to come across a bug that will take my normal gameplay away. Therefore, I am interested in
The Rebreather is obtained via a data box in the Twisty Bridges.
ahh, thank you.
How far have you gotten into the story?
||i was in every station, and found few Al-An artifact ||
Ahh okay, so you've gotten ||Al-An||. The data box for the Rebreather is at the tech site just outside the cave system that leads into ||Sanctuary Zero||.
thank you again
In my current game, I'm just leaving him in the cube
Poor Al-An. 
Ah, he'll be fine
But his battery is low.
Several force fields are still running, must be some power left
Oh yeah... you can't get to the ion cube nodes.
That one spot with the 3 stacks is open tho
Also, the ||fabricator facility|| isn't blocked, for some reason
Going in there recently, I was able to hear some voice lines I hadn't heard before
Yee... Robin has unique lines when she doesn't have Al-An.
