eee

[carmine bobcat]

Yo i got this game half an hour ago is delta station dock safe

[granite solstice]

my game gets stuck on the warning screen, i haven't had this problem before, how do i fix it?

[naive lotus]

No, it's on the ground, you will suffocate to dead, also it's too hot over there you will melt in second
Very dangerous, much pointless going there, not recommend
(jk)

[mellow epoch]

||The antidote is wormside or nah? i cant remember||

[carmine bobcat]

So safe

[mellow epoch]

nobody knows? 😦

[eternal garnet]

it's south of the bridge. far south

[carmine bobcat]

Anger issue

[eternal garnet]

A clue on the map you can scan in Phi robotics

[mellow epoch]

the thing in red?

[eternal garnet]

yes!

[mellow epoch]

Mother!

Ive been playing way too much escape simulator , im tryin to make puzzles wheres none

i swear im at the place but ofc , i cant see it lol

[eternal garnet]

so did you see the hint inside the circle

[mellow epoch]

ye , im just blind lol

[stray breach]

huh???

[stray breach]

Bro I crafted a power cell for a recipe and just found one lying around 💀

[wind stirrup]

Why is ||shadow leviathan|| so aggressive it makes it 10x scarier

[stray breach]

You are the largest creature (besides the leviathan) down there so it sees a large meal :D

[wind stirrup]

True ig

Is this the only one in the game or are there others

[stray breach]

There are most certainly more

[wind stirrup]

I mean ||shadow leviathans|| not chelicerates

[stray breach]

Have you gotten past the ||crystal caves||?

[wind stirrup]

Nope, went in to get kyanite for the prawn depth upgrade

[stray breach]

Ah ok...

[wind stirrup]

I'll take that at surface level and assume there's more

[stray breach]

Yeah no, I don't remember seeing more than one but I could be wrong

[wind stirrup]

Oh alr then

[stray breach]

I'm lying, there are more

[stray breach]

Oh...

[primal sky]

@broken badge thank you! Will try! 😃

[primal sky]

Unfortunately it didn’t work 😦

Uninstalled and re-installed too

[broken badge]

You don’t have any mods installed do you? Not sure but some might still not be patched to work with 2.0 update (I know there’s still some that aren’t updated for Subnautica’s 2.0 update, so that might still apply for BZ as well)

[eternal garnet]

are you on mac?

[broken badge]

They are

[eternal garnet]

didn't try the opengl thing?

[primal sky]

No mods

Yes I’m on mac but it’s worked before

[broken badge]

Idk about PC stuff, I mentioned legacy branch that’s all meatie

[primal sky]

Rip

[eternal garnet]

let me find it, it should work

[primal sky]

Thanks

[broken badge]

Meatie knows PC stuff I don’t, so hopefully you can get some help now😅

[primal sky]

Okay great lol

[eternal garnet]

PC stuff - but it's a mac! lol

[eternal garnet]

In steam, go in properties for Below Zero.

#below-zero-chat message

Launch options. Enter here:
-force-opengl

The reason is something about an OS update for video

But the fix should work

[primal sky]

Okay thanks I’ll l try!

OMG

😯

No way

It works!!!

Brilliant

Thank you so much!!!

[eternal garnet]

weeell Ignis found the cure

[primal sky]

Here’s one trillion credits

Is it just me or is below zero map way harder to navigate? Lol

[reef vale]

Uh my game is like frozen? But like I can click the save button even though its frozen idk what’s happening

[eternal garnet]

probably force quit it

It can happen, where you can swim but terrain is not loading, no fish, hatches don't open, and you can't save

to mitigate, save often

[reef vale]

I clicked the invisible quit button and the whole game closed

[eternal garnet]

That's the only known bug I know that looks like your issue

ok that seems different

Check if your PC might be overheating

[reef vale]

It happened after I pressed the escape key a couple times

Saving did work when it was frozen so that’s good

[nova walrus]

i found a parellel processing unit in the mercury 2

just 1/3.. is there anything else to it?

[west mountain]

Excellent, have you been to delta island already?

[nova walrus]

yup

are there more there?

[west mountain]

No, but did you meet the ||prawn lady||

[nova walrus]

yup

[west mountain]

And did you visit her in her ||seabase||

[nova walrus]

nope

just got my mk1 seatruck upgrade

guess ill go there

[west mountain]

Ok, so I suggest you finish the exploration of the wreck and probabely find some more fragments to scan. But then I would focus on getting to ||her in her base||. Then everything makes a bit more sense.

[nova walrus]

what other fragments are in there?

i was thorough and didnt find anything else

[west mountain]

That depends in ||which of the ship wrecks you were in||

[nova walrus]

which???

[west mountain]

There are ||multiple wrecks, it broke up into several pieces||

[nova walrus]

oh okay, guess ill go find those

[west mountain]

For sure

[nova walrus]

a random fish crashed into me and i jumped

[meager hazel]

thats cool

[lapis compass]

Is there anything dangerous near ||architect artifact PK8||

[west mountain]

Just the usual stuff like ||chelicarate||

[lapis compass]

Ffs

What about ||architect body cache||

[west mountain]

Also something, dont worry about anything. As long as you have the seatruck perimeter defense upgrade, you are absolutely save.

[lapis compass]

Oh

I’ll get that then ty

[west mountain]

Do you know where to find it?

[lapis compass]

No

Is it a fragment u have to find?

[west mountain]

Have you been to ||Maidas seabase||?

[lapis compass]

Yes

[west mountain]

It was ||there on the floor in front of the table with all the other stuff that you scanned||

[lapis compass]

I’m by the ||architect artifact PK8|| and I just heard what I think is a chelicerate scream above me

[west mountain]

Yes, he is there for sure

[lapis compass]

I might’ve scanned it I don’t remember tho

[lapis compass]

It’s pitch black I can’t see anything 😭😭😭

[west mountain]

No it was a crafted item to pick up and use

[lapis compass]

What tf should I do

[lapis compass]

Oh I definitely didn’t take it then

[west mountain]

First go down to PK8, he will not follow you down, and then bail out as quickly as possible.

[lapis compass]

Will he catch up to me if I just go straight to it

He sounded close

[west mountain]

Try to avoid him, stay close to the seafloor and dont stare at him

[lapis compass]

Ok I’ll try ty

I made it

Thank god

Erm

Went well

[lapis compass]

Is there anything dangerous at ||architect artifact Z13||

[west mountain]

No

[lapis compass]

Ty

[lapis compass]

How do I stop freezing man

I keep getting hyperthermia

[west mountain]

Build a cold suit, build a snow fox, use the prawn suit, drink hot coffee, eat fevered peppers, eat spice fruit salad

[lapis compass]

Alright ty

I forgot about snow fox

I’m only 1/3 for snowfox

[wind stirrup]

Prawn works well

[lapis compass]

This ice worm is so annoying

[lapis compass]

Oh ye

[pliant jetty]

Right, now I get how the seatruck bay works I need a cave I can build it in so I can just drive into the cave

Ideally damn near block off the cave with it and have room for a few rooms, somewhere at least somewhat interesting

[west mountain]

@eternal garnet May I kindly ask you to have a look at this. I use farbicators to decorate my base. I craft items and dont take them away so they stay on the fabricator for decoration purpose. Unfortuntely this seem so to only work if the fabricator is located underwater or very close to the waterline. As soon as it has some altitude above sea level, the item is no longer displayed. It is still there but transparent, which of course negelects the decorative purpose. Anybody else experienced this wierd behaviour? Thank you very much and best regards, Markus

[eternal garnet]

Weird stuff. And not tested much, it's not expected behavior

[west mountain]

Yes, everything below waterline stays fix, like my showroom. But above water it disappears.

[eternal garnet]

haha, what a room

[steel stream]

@lapis compass Some more option are the steam vents and caves found in the above ground areas. Or if you have few titanium and quartz, you can build a small base (I compartment and hatch): base is warm even without power.

[lapis compass]

Oh u can build on the land?

That’s cool

[steel stream]

I've heard of bases built on top of lilypads. And there are lot of above ground Alterra bases on the map.

[lapis compass]

Nice ty

[broken badge]

BZ has some truly beautiful moments

I so wish we had a photo mode

[lapis compass]

The visuals are amazing

Is there anything dangerous near ||architect artifact N6M?||

Or on the way

[next current]

You may or may not encounter a Chelicerate on your way.

[eternal garnet]

You may encounter monsters on your way from landing to endgame. It's a feature.

[next current]

Wuh?! No way!

[lapis compass]

No way 😳

[next current]

Pretty.

[lapis compass]

Where tf do I go from here man I’m so lost

[lapis compass]

Fr

[next current]

Follow the cabling to get to the ||cache||

[lapis compass]

Cabling?

[indigo moth]

In a direction

[lapis compass]

I’ve gone everywhere I just end up back here lmao

[pliant jetty]

I genuinely thought the meteorites from the intro would be an issue and sought to go deeper

They were exploding things!

[pliant jetty]

Only building in caves is truely ethical

Embrace tradition, cave living is the way.

[west mountain]

Just in case you get totally lost and do not discover any of the secrets in arctic spires, here is a tutorial video: https://youtu.be/i_QKANUgjlg

[lapis compass]

Cave base would look cool

[lapis compass]

Ty

[lapis compass]

I am so lost man I’ve gone round in circles so much

[lapis compass]

That’s nice man

[west mountain]

Or to give Maida some company. Unfortunately she never came over for coffee and fruit salad 😦

[next current]

You never offered Preston any.

[pliant jetty]

Creative mode degenerate!

[west mountain]

Survival mode

[pliant jetty]

Where's your reinforcement?

[west mountain]

In the moon pool and the seatubes below

[pliant jetty]

Hmm, I'll allow it

[lapis compass]

😭😭

[eternal garnet]

only one? I havce to crop so it stays under 10

[west mountain]

Well, the hardcore delete themselves 😦

[eternal garnet]

but yeah most of those are test sessions

[next current]

I always have 3 active at a time. No more, no less.

[smoky lily]

I wish there was a jukebox for seatrucks

[west mountain]

Sleeper module

[lapis compass]

What else is in the ||snow biome except the artifact and frozen leviathan||

[smoky lily]

no way???

[west mountain]

Resources, the ||cure for the frozen leviathan, did you find it???||

[west mountain]

Indeed

[lapis compass]

I haven’t found the ||frozen leviathan yet|| so nah

[smoky lily]

spoilers on 👍

It's not like I already dida lot of stuff and spoil the ending for myself a while ago 🤷

[west mountain]

If you watched any BZ trailer on youtube you know most of the story already

[smoky lily]

ah true

[paper wyvern]

Look for a ||crack in the ice||

[paper wyvern]

I love that you just built onto her base

[west mountain]

Without blocking her view 🙂

[molten gazelle]

Cool idea I think I’ll steal it

[fluid cove]

i have below zero its just i have like never played it, is it good?

[eternal garnet]

definitely

[lapis compass]

Very good

[next current]

Yes. Definitely. Absolutely.

[lunar flame]

Definitely, super, ultra, absolutely, mega good

[finite swan]

Please help me. I have played Subnautica Below Zero before and i have checked the cashe. From that info i have found that it is not a problome with my computer and there is nothing bad in the cashe but it just wont start it says "syncorcnising with steam cloud" and then the text is gone and it shows a 100% and a cloud besides my Below zero icon and then nothing.

[bold monolith]

Do you have the game on Steam?

[finite swan]

yes

[bold monolith]

Switch to the Legacy beta.

[finite swan]

ok

OMG IT WORKS THX

[normal portal]

@earnest yacht will there really be water in subnautica 3?

Im so excited for water

[lime grove]

there will be water

and dont ping the devs

[normal portal]

I just hope the void leviathan wont be that realistic in ue5 cus im already terified of ghost and cheri(…) leviathans

[lime grove]

it isnt confirmed that the leviathans form SN1 and BZ are coming to SN2

[normal portal]

But imagine this in SN3

[normal portal]

No but there will be a new void leviathan right

I just hope it will be terifying but also i dont

[lime grove]

ndidnt see if a "void leviathan" is confirmed

[indigo moth]

Probably

[void drum]

Without Cory here

It's nothing

[eternal garnet]

what are we, chopped liver?

[carmine bobcat]

origanal idea

its calld a Snap Gaw Leviatin

[carmine bobcat]

Actually you're much more than a singular chopped liver🫂

[vivid wave]

Is that a horn

[carmine bobcat]

no its a tongue

[lapis compass]

Void leviathan omg

Subanutica 2 has crazy crazy potential

Cant wait man

[vivid wave]

Hm

[broken badge]

We have an art channel just FYI, for original art. Also, please don’t post in multiple channels.
Here’s the art channel #art-archive-11

[carmine bobcat]

i know do you like my drawing thow

[tacit thorn]

anyone with a base in less than 100m of water could check how many hull points does water filtration machine take? Wiki says -1 for subnautica, but -2 for below zero.

[eternal garnet]

-1 at 4m

and -1.2 at 335m

[tacit thorn]

Ok, so wiki has a bug in default hull value. It also seem desalinator does suffer from depth penalty.

[void drum]

Nah, it's just not the same without a member of the team actually talking to us.

[paper wyvern]

What is a desalinator

The water purifier?

[eternal garnet]

yes, that would be a translation

[calm lily]

Current year meters away from my Drop Pod

[wind stirrup]

Tbh

The ending kinda dung

[stray breach]

Yeah it ain't the greatest unfortunately...

[stray breach]

Ok so I just saw a squid shark swim right under my moonpool as if I am in a horror movie ._.

[eternal garnet]

[Jaws theme]

[stray breach]

oh no

Wait...if the seatruck dock has to remove the door like that then where does the door go when a seatruck module is attached?

[eternal garnet]

Where? Yes.

I remember the early version bug where that door was 5cm tall

[stray breach]

What 💀. No way that was actually a thing

Oh god no 💀. The off-center stairs are in below zero too ._.

[eternal garnet]

Behold, evidence

[stray breach]

Where did it go? Yes

Wait I just spotted it

God I am dumb

Literally a red arrow pointed towards it and I still didn't see it

[eternal garnet]

There were a lot of funny issues

[stray breach]

I lost where the ||base|| is -_-

[eternal garnet]

omega? or maida

[stray breach]

Maida

I am a small amount of lost

still not as lost as I was when I entered the dead zone while looking for the wreck in the Lilypad's :D

[eternal garnet]

go to the beacon, down, ||NW tunnel, follow the glowy plants||. A beacon at her place is very useful

[stray breach]

I don't got a beacon there 💀

[stray breach]

||NW tunnel?|| Got it

[eternal garnet]

Bring a beacon everywhere. Or 2. If you die, it renames and drops,

[stray breach]

I have a beacon that has been sitting in my seatruck for a long time so I will be able to place one there

Oh I forgot about this place ._.

[eternal garnet]

tree spires

[stray breach]

I wish

I really wish it was the tree spires

Oh god I don't remember his patterns at all

And I saw it...

Oh heck nah

I am 100% not scared...0% of the time...

[eternal garnet]

you'll be fine, you have perimeter defense

don't fire until it descends on you

the actual attack

[stray breach]

I remember having to deal with these guys...

I remember knowing how to do it without being scared too lol

I found the image of my first encounter with one from 2021 omg

[hexed quartz]

i was so scared too

and i didnt know about the perimeter defense system thing

[stray breach]

I remember I got lost and didn't know where I was and then it appeared

[hexed quartz]

in ur seatruck?

[stray breach]

I was in a seatruck yes

with the defense system

It still scared me though

And now...I am face to face with the exact same one right now

Bro I think my guys animations broke 💀 he is just gliding through the water in a very stiff position ._.

Yeah his animations died XD

[vivid wave]

Npc

[harsh coral]

Sad hoverfish isn’t in below zero

Literally the cutest

[vivid wave]

Valid opinions

[raw wasp]

cuddlefish better

[vivid wave]

Your wrong, completely utterly wrong

Hoverfish is better

[raw wasp]

as food I guess

[vivid wave]

How could you, demon you should be able to cook cuddle fish they are ugle

Hoverfish are precious

Beautiful creatures

[raw wasp]

when I'm at my main base they got more cracks then there is in the entirety of fortnite

[vivid wave]

Huh

[ancient crag]

I love hoverfish and cuddlefosh a but sometimes i run the hoverfish over with my seamoth😭

[carmine bobcat]

guys i just started wih BZ, where is a good place to build a base? looked around for a bit and just couldn't find a good spot, it was either too close to the starter base, no materials next to the base or just those black big 4 legged creatures that annoy you

[harsh coral]

hoverfish > cuddlefish

[lyric current]

I'm very disappointed that there's a build height limit.

[ancient crag]

||Crystal cave!|| it even comes with a few friendly friends!

[carmine bobcat]

thank you ^^

[ancient crag]

But make sure to feed them.They can be a bit grumpy...

[carmine bobcat]

oh no

[next current]

For a more serious answer, I recommend either the Twisty Bridges or the Thermal Spires.

[naive lotus]

maybe both

[west mountain]

I would build my first base near the drop pod, a small one is enough for the game. Later when you know the different biomes better you can go crazy building bases. I built my base exactly here: -279.2, -4.8, -103.2 and I think its the best place to start. But that is highly subjective of course.

[storm imp]

I'm disappointed that you can only have one of each module in a seatruck.

[west mountain]

You can have as many as you want, just docking only once

[storm imp]

right this naming scheme

I meant upgrades

double afterburner would be amazing

[next current]

Just play older versions. It was possible iirc.

[carmine bobcat]

i've just visited the crystal caves, i see who you meant with hungry and grumpy :)

[carmine bobcat]

thank you very much, ima search for those biomes and will take a good look

[ancient crag]

But they are very friendly when not hungry! Also they like to spit on people.

[carmine bobcat]

i am kinda in mid game rn, used a starter base as you recommended near the pod but currently looking for a location to move to

[carmine bobcat]

yep, i was wet from saliva when that one ate me once

[ancient crag]

Well he was only hungry

[carmine bobcat]

i couldn't even scan him

is there a tactic for that?

[ancient crag]

KILL THEM

[carmine bobcat]

eyo nah, i couldn't kill something as cute as that

[ancient crag]

DO IT

[crude vapor]

Hello I have finally obtained a copy of this game

[carmine bobcat]

no :(

[carmine bobcat]

nice congratz

[crude vapor]

Any tips on locations of resources?

[carmine bobcat]

as far as i know, there isn't a stasis rifle in this game right?

[west mountain]

Where would you like your base to be? Is it just for the stunning view or should it be practical for the game play? It all depends what you want. I have 20 bases in all biomes and all locations are stunning in their own way. But the border of the north arctic to twisty bridges near your drop pod is the safest and easiest. Some players also build on delta island because its the center of the map. So again, all up to you.

[west mountain]

Which one you are looking for? Pickable or drillable?

[crude vapor]

I'm pretty early game but I'd say stuff like silver and lead yknow that sorta

[west mountain]

Twisty bridges, thermal spires and arctic kelp cave (seamonkey caves) and purple vents have almost everything you need in the beginning.

[carmine bobcat]

i kinda want a practical base, i need space for my vehicles bc moonpools etc but i also need good resources and a lot of them

[west mountain]

Resources are all over the map, so dont build your base according to that. Because those resources around your bases are collected immediately. I built my base exactly here: -279.2, -4.8, -103.2 and I think its the best place to start. But that is highly subjective of course.

[crude vapor]

And these biomes are all close to the beginning area?

[west mountain]

Yes, thats the idea 🙂

[carmine bobcat]

yeh they are, diamonds are kinda located on one spot, same with magnetit ( i hope it has the same name in english)

[west mountain]

By far not. Diamonds are all over the map, magnetite is all over the map.

[carmine bobcat]

hmm, have seen diamonds only on one spot and magnetite only there where the leviathan is ( a bit above but yeah)

[west mountain]

Again, the are all over the map in many different areas

[carmine bobcat]

alright, thank you very much

ima keep my eyes open then

[crude vapor]

Ah thanks

Also what biome is the drop pod in?

[west mountain]

Correction: The biome NORTH of the drop pod is called sparse arctic, the drop pod is in the shallow area of twisty bridges.

[crude vapor]

Ah so its right on the edge of the map

[broken badge]

I would not say magnetite is “all over the map” it’s found in some pretty selective places

[west mountain]

I meant that is found in many different locations all over the map. Not that it is available in every place all over the map.

[crude vapor]

Ah alr so its very close to the top of the map

[west mountain]

Its definitely in the north of the map, actually almost exactly north of delta island.

[broken badge]

Really there’s only two great options unless you want to go out of your way, or on land. For magnetite that is. One of which is late game really. So that just leaves cotton anemones place. Because most people won’t be venturing into the ||crystal caverns|| for some time.

[west mountain]

But be careful, there are three different drop pod location chosen at random, you your drop pod location might be different than mine.

[west mountain]

I did not specify when and where you will get there, it was in contrast of him saying that it is only in one location. And I think many people need the first magnetite when they build the snowfox and then they are in phi and probabely get the first magnetite on land.

@eternal garnet @broken badge Btw I said something yestarday or the day before that was incorrect. The headlamp battery will run out, even though it does not have a health bar. BUT you cannot remove the battery, so you have to use the recyclotron and once you recycle it, the battery is still fully charged and you can immediately craft a new headlamp. Interesting, isnt it.

[broken badge]

Sad it’s pretty useless since it takes up rebreather slot

Wasted opportunity imo, they should’ve let it use the HUD chip slot

[west mountain]

For building and exploring facilities on land I use it pretty often.

[west mountain]

That would have been great indeed.

[broken badge]

I mean, underwater divers have helmet lights, or would in these kind of environments

You wouldn’t use just a scuba mask in artic waters. Too much heat loss from the head

[crude vapor]

Is there any good maps of the bz map

[west mountain]

Yes, but is a HUGE spoiler OK: ||https://mapgenie.io/subnautica-below-zero/maps/world||

[crude vapor]

Ah thanks I've never been one to care about spoilers I prefer to know what I'm getting myself into (especially leviathan wise)

[plain aurora]

guys where should i make a base

give me that coords

guys?

[clever crow]

base location advice?

[clever crow]

i would recommend north of the lilypad biome or somewhere in the tree spires biome.
both places are pretty, have stuff to explore nearby and rich in resources.

[plain aurora]

ight

ty

[tacit thorn]

crystal caves, first hanging rock after the entrance is a nice place for a base, right?

[clever crow]

hmm. i like living next to big bois, but i don't like depressing vibes of that location

[plain aurora]

how to get there? its mercury II stern

[tacit thorn]

look for laser-cuttable doors. Otherwise, it might be one of spots where you have to swim through the maintenance corridors. Try looking around for the half-life style vents.

[carmine bobcat]

hi

[tacit thorn]

Base coloring question:
How do you color the base correctly? I set my colors in control room, but you can see half of my buildings are silver with slight red tint. Then, other half is pure red, like the color I set to. When I rebuilt one of the I corridors it built in correct red color. Do I have to disasemble 80% of my base for the actual color to stick now???

[eternal garnet]

that's like a bug. Maybe reload save? Oh you have mods. This may be relevant

[tacit thorn]

the ss was taken soon after loading a game

my first base may have similar issue - it is supposed to be blue, but it is gray metal with blue sheen instead

[carmine bobcat]

i need help with story

im at that woman base but i cant open the door

[west mountain]

Did you meet her before?

[carmine bobcat]

no

[west mountain]

You have to meet her before you can enter the base

[carmine bobcat]

do you know where i can meet her?

its literally her base

[west mountain]

You have to explore delta island first

[carmine bobcat]

i have marked delta island

so thank u i can go meet her now

[west mountain]

You have to go from the dock up to the tower via the caves from the dock

[mint badger]

Yo do I have to go by the || crystal caves || or the || lilypad crevice (or i think thats what its called) with the big white mushrooms and the red stuff || to go to the || alien body cache with the skeleton at ~600m ||

[west mountain]

deep lilypad cave

[mint badger]

Im there right now but i can't seem to go that deep

[west mountain]

Then you need the next depth upgrade

[mint badger]

Well i have the max depth up grade i just cant find a route that goes deeper

[west mountain]

What depth upgrade do you have? Max depth upgrade is 1000m for seatruck and 1100m for prawn

[mint badger]

Yeah i have those

[west mountain]

So no problem then, right?

[mint badger]

Got my prawn docked

Yeah

[tacit thorn]

Guess who ran out of titanium. Apparently full 2 seatruck modules are not enough for medium sized base.
Should I:
A) go back to my main base ~2km away and haul whole five modules of titanium to the new outpost. I have so much titanium there I can't fit the lockers.
B) scavenge some near new base while avoiding huge titan cricling the area

[next current]

Go to the Glacial Basin for titanium ore veins.

[tacit thorn]

that would be like 3km away. I'm in crystal caves rn

[next current]

You'll live.

[tacit thorn]

still missing the point of having to drive all the way up

[crude vapor]

Are time capsules in bz?

[west mountain]

No

[crude vapor]

Boooo

[uneven blade]

uhh i just placed a foundation under my base accidentally, it says i have to deconstruct the attached components, do i have to deconstruct my base to remove it

[crude vapor]

Yes

So I just made my seatruck wooo. Any suggestions on where to go now. I've been delta island and done the transfer so now wat, my sea truck can't reach margeret

[eternal garnet]

find diamonds to upgrade it

[tacit thorn]

have you got the alterra facilities map from the outposts?
||go to the koppa mining site next to delta island, it has diamonds||

[eternal garnet]

You might not have discovered the distress signal source yet. Important

[dense tartan]

hello!

i need a little hand in bz

i feel like i'm stuck

[uneven blade]

just ask your question

[crude vapor]

Oo sounds good but what direction is delta island again I took the beacon.and how deep is the mine?

[dense tartan]

i have these locations, the ||pilot last signal|| and the ||alien signal|| which i havent explored, i tried going there but it's too deep for the sea truck. and i cant craft the seatruck depth upgrade because i haven't discovered the place where i find diamond yet

no spoilers pls, i just want a direction of where to explore more to advance

[tacit thorn]

the mine is exactly 150m deep, but you can grab some diamonds and go craft depth upgrade before exploring it all

[uneven blade]

you can find diamond under delta island or whatever its called cant you?

[dense tartan]

oh, havent checked

will do

[eternal garnet]

Delta is right south from the volcano. I suggest putting a beacon back

[dense tartan]

thx

[tacit thorn]

there are some loose diamonds in the fiery death pits around delta island, but mining site might be easier to find

[uneven blade]

shale outcrops drop diamonds, theyre found everywhere in purple vents iirc

[eternal garnet]

Guys, general tips: bring beacon always. Save often. Explore, that drives the game

[uneven blade]

general tip dont die and play game

[eternal garnet]

dying isn't so bad here

Die in the truck, nothing bad happens

[uneven blade]

general tip die

general tip make sure to die as often as possible

[tacit thorn]

remember to save manually every fifteen minutes or so, because the game does not have autosave.
Also remember to manually backup your savefile in case something gets messed up

[tacit thorn]

shale outrops? In BZ?

[eternal garnet]

nope. Diamonds are bare here

what looks like "shale" is called argentite, and contains silver or Ti. Every outcrop is one metal or Ti, 50%

[crude vapor]

Either I'm blind or I can't find any more than 1 diamond

[tacit thorn]

did you scan it? use the mineral detector

[plain locust]

lmao sams death ||was negligence||

[worldly thistle]

hey i'm playing BZ and i can't find a channel where i can stream the gameplay ?

[mint badger]

Yoo i just finsished fabricating || alans body || and its just kinda standing there? Do i gotta press something to transfer him or what

[plain locust]

yea

u gotta like click on the big computer thingy in the middle of he room

[eternal garnet]

ideally, twitch

[plain locust]

i was gonna say that lmao

[mint badger]

It dont let me press anyrhing tho

[eternal garnet]

can't interact with him? that bug should have been fixed. Anyway, save+load

[mint badger]

Ok thanks

[eternal garnet]

also ideally, don't save again from now

This means you get seamonkey help in the aftergame

[mint badger]

Ah damn it

It crashed right before i saved

:/

Time to rebuild it

Yippe

[mint badger]

The game is finished after i transfer him?!

[eternal garnet]

no, but it's the start of the end. In a different location

[mint badger]

Huh

[eternal garnet]

If you don't save from now, you get seamonkeys helping after the end

[mint badger]

So more story after?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[mint badger]

Noice

[storm imp]

my favorite weapon, the seatruck
(no audio because game bar filled it with static)

[mint badger]

So i shouldnt save after the cutscene?

[eternal garnet]

after transfer. Too late? Not a big deal

[mint badger]

Nah i havent saved yet

So i go to the || gate ? ||

[eternal garnet]

yes. After it ends, you can load your save and keep building if you want

[mint badger]

Cool

[mint badger]

Aye just finished the game

Cool ending

Thinking of making a void shrimp observatory in the survival world now

[eternal garnet]

||||

[tacit thorn]

Creepwine grows correctly only in two-story alien containment?

[storm imp]

big vine

[clever crow]

Yes. In regular ones it never grows full hight.

[tacit thorn]

so, will never be harvestable/grow seeds?

[clever crow]

yes( only 2 story ones do

I like how they glow, looks really nice with a glass dome

[tacit thorn]

ok, is there a way to limit the number of fishes that can breed in alien containment? I can stack two no problem, but dont want 20 acrtic peppers swimming around

[clever crow]

They will breed if there’s place. Put one peep and you will never have 20.

[tacit thorn]

I need them to replicate for sushi bar variety, just would prefer like 8 slots not 20

[clever crow]

Put a glow whale egg in

[tacit thorn]

it takes multiple slots?

[clever crow]

I guess.

[carmine bobcat]

Do u need to finish subnautica 1 to understand below zero

[mint badger]

Hey guys how deep down into the void do you have to be for the shrimpies to spawn?

[clever crow]

No, but reading lore you find in subnautica 1 will make you understand one of the plot lines easier.

[clever crow]

Depth doesn’t matter. You have to be in the zone and the longer you are there the more of them spawn

SN had 3 ghosts max to spawn I think

[mint badger]

Ghosts?

Oh yeah

[dapper badger]

please tell me there are way to have some 3rd person view of the seatruck ( camera or whatever). once you got a few module driving around terrain feature become slightly annoying without it

[clever crow]

It’s like driving irl. No 3rd person view 😔

[dapper badger]

at the very least i got a rear view mirror in my car 🤪

[stray breach]

I am scared...I am trying to reach the ||greenhouse|| but my anxiety kicked in and now I want to turn back but I don't see the leviathan so I have no clue if that is a good idea?

[eternal garnet]

just save and go on

[stray breach]

I saved before leaving my base, but I am cursing under my breath and still haven't seen it and now I am more tense

My thought process is "Where is it? When will it show up? Above? Below? Where will it come from and where has it gone?"

[clever crow]

Do you have perimeter defence?

[stray breach]

ye

still terrified though

[eternal garnet]

when you see it working, you should really relax more

[clever crow]

[stray breach]

Wait...that wasn't the kryptosuchus...uh oh...

Bro...I don't want to un-pause now that I know what the roar came from...

[clever crow]

krypto roars, shrimp screeches.

[naive lotus]

it's fine

they don't break your truck easily

not so aggressive

let them chew

be calm

[stray breach]

I shall un-pause and record so if anything happens...yall can see how it goes down...

[naive lotus]

[stray breach]

Yeah uhhhhh...

I don't know if that was it...but idk if I wanna know if it was...

I'm about to save and exit cause I am getting nothing done...

On the other hand I could just hit reverse and go a much safer way there but I may still run into the leviathan

Yeah no I am going back...apparently I am running head first into it since it was hiding behind an iceberg...

[naive lotus]

so basically, you're still safe

pretty safe imo

[stray breach]

My brain told me "bro nah we making 0 progress like this lets reload..."

I will do it in a prawn?

Cause I feel much more powerful in one of those and a lot safer...

Keyword...Feel

[naive lotus]

duno if it make any change, I went there with only dept module 2 and only got chew twice

once when I going, once when I'm leaving

although those roar make me a bit anxious

[stray breach]

The thing that makes me scared of them is their mandibles...I have a crazy phobia of needles and those mandibles look like needles to my brain

[naive lotus]

oof

then do anything to make you feel safe

[stray breach]

I shall try

I guess I should go to the ||precursor thing near the one in the icebergs|| so I have a clear direction...but these waters are hard to see in...

[viscid tinsel]

can someone tell me what the hidden achievement is.

[dreamy gust]

playin below zero in real life right now guys

[dapper badger]

thats cute... -22 here ... even before factoring the strong winds 😉

[dreamy gust]

gah dam

gah damn cant imagine what it feels like for you then

[dapper badger]

yup. it is , as we commonly say ... F-ING cold

[dreamy gust]

are you in new hampshire or smth i heard its really cold over there rn

[dapper badger]

Québec

[dreamy gust]

ohh

[naive lotus]

the hallucination fish is scary

harmless most of the time

supprise hallu when you trying to find you way to the truck

Indirectly kill you without any fight

[unborn trail]

I’m I the only one who keeps calling Marguerit Margarita

The two words are to similar so everytime I mention her I call her margarita by accident lol

[crude vapor]

Ah yes keep forgetting about that as its a new item

[crude vapor]

Bloody Margarita cocktail

[crude vapor]

Where can I find spiral plant clippings?

[bold monolith]

Deep Purple Vents, Tree Spires.

[bold monolith]

It's a bit late, but this statement is incorrect.

[west mountain]

Yes, I thought so too, I just discovered that you can turn OFF the headlamp. I did not know that either. So I accidently turned it off and thought it runned out. So it seems to run infinitely long.

[bold monolith]

It has a particularity though, if you use a depleted battery to make the headlamp, it won't turn on.

Because there is a check to see if the battery is at zero.

[west mountain]

Seems fair to me.

[bold monolith]

But on use, it consumes 0 energy per second. So, if you are at 1% on your ion battery you can make the headlamp and you can use it just fine forever.

[west mountain]

Thats neat, thanks for clarification. I honestly did not know that you can turn the headlamp off. I always took it off when I did not want the light anymore. Never occured to me to turn it on or off. Sorry for that missunderstanding.

[lapis compass]

There’s 2 chelicerates near the big jelly ffssss

[bold monolith]

[viscid elm]

how do i do that?

[naive lotus]

Am I blind, or the seatruck dock don't have any way to access upgrade panel?

[west mountain]

Its only on the top left of the seatruck cabin

[naive lotus]

so when docking, I cannot access it?

[west mountain]

Moonpool yes, seatruck dock no.

[naive lotus]

[bold monolith]

Click on advanced. I want to know the permissions assigned to Alec. Or create some for all your users.

For instance I have these.

alright

[crimson echo]

"Entering ecological deadzone"

truly the most terrifying words in history

[west mountain]

Do kelp root pustules respawn in the kelp caves once they are harvested or are they finite?

[bold monolith]

Finite.

Even creepvine seeds don't respawn.

Unless they are in a growbed.

[clever crow]

What creatures in bz (and sn) DO respawn if killed?

[bold monolith]

For SN it's easy. Aggressive fish even the little ones don't respawn with the exception of crash fish, warpers, void leviathans.

For BZ it's a bit more complicated. But sharks don't respawn.

Also you have things like "respawn if killed by another creature".

So if you kill them yourself those don't respawn.

Like sharks.

[clever crow]

squid sharks or brute sharks?

[storm imp]

do the oversized seahorses count as sharks?

[bold monolith]

It's been a while since I didn't check exactly which one are the exception in BZ, but if I remember correctly the lilypaddler, sea monkey respawn.

[bold monolith]

The cryptosuchus is a shark yes.

[storm imp]

alight

[clever crow]

i kill em. they come back

[storm imp]

there are a lot of them

[bold monolith]

They won't respawn if killed by you.

[clever crow]

i thought u meant lily padlers

[storm imp]

ah, no.

lily paddlers are mutated mesmers.

[bold monolith]

I'll retrieve the list. I have scripts to do that.

Later.

[west mountain]

I just finished my 20th base in my BZ world. It is located in the west arctic and is spanning over 4 different icebergs. You enter the base underwater with the seatruck dock and then glass tubes are connecting the various facilities, including a restaurant. The interiors of all rooms are fully decorated to the max. Power is currently with a bioreactor and 10 solar panels, but I have to find a heat source to connect a thermal plant somehow. At the end of the base is a snowfox pad with the snowfox and I can jump accross 4 more icebergs to reach the ||secret iceberg cave||. Wow, that took me two full days of builing and decorating.

[bold monolith]

It's insane. You should have a very good computer to handle that many bases.

[west mountain]

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor 4.00 GHz / 64 GB RAM / Nvidia 3060TI / Samsung 2 TB NVME/M.2 SSD. But when I approach my main base, there is a lag when walking between buildings. Too much stuff inside 🙂

[bold monolith]

Bases are always loaded.

So even if you aren't close, they'll make you lag.

I know I would have 2FPS with your save slot. :þ

[crude vapor]

What do u even use the kelp root things for

[west mountain]

Best bioreactor fuel

[crude vapor]

Ooohhh is that it?

[west mountain]

Yes, but if its not renewable it makes not sense to burn it. So I stick to my preston fruits

[lime grove]

there is one more thing to use them for but you'll understand later

[crude vapor]

Also did marblemelons make it to bz?

[west mountain]

Yes, delicious. Just ate one right now

[crude vapor]

Thank god they were my main food source in sn

[west mountain]

Not in BZ, here you will get a food that is so OP that is insane

[crude vapor]

Oh dam

So wats the best food in bz then?

[west mountain]

How far are you into the story yet

[crude vapor]

I've been to maragurite

[west mountain]

In her seabase?

[crude vapor]

Yup

[west mountain]

So now you are going to ||deactivate the satellite||?

[lyric current]

Wait, there's a sea base?

[crude vapor]

Yep

[west mountain]

Pilots last kown position, you have to search for it

[west mountain]

After that you will get the food I am talking about

[crude vapor]

Nice, I need to explore ||mercury 2 areas to find ppu don't i|| ?

[lyric current]

What is the food you talk about?

[west mountain]

Correct

[west mountain]

The ||spicy fruit salad||

[crude vapor]

Nice I was going to do it anyway

[crude vapor]

Ooo

[lyric current]

I guess I have to climb down the mountain and go search for it...

[crude vapor]

So in sn there were ||5 cuddlefish eggs|| around the map, so how many ||trivalve eggs|| are there in bz?

[west mountain]

You have to make game progress, otherwise you will not get it.

[lyric current]

Seems hard!

[west mountain]

This is a spoiler OK, there are ||6 in total, 2 yellow and 4 blue||

[crude vapor]

Cool

[west mountain]

No, just normal gameplay, its mid-game I would say. Where are you in the game

[crude vapor]

Yay +1 friend although I did never get the ||cuddlefish egg|| in the dunes, too many leviathans

[west mountain]

Not such a problem regarding leviathans in BZ, they are just very well hidden.

[lyric current]

||I went into the gate with AL-AN.||

[west mountain]

At the end???? So you are done???

[lyric current]

Yes, the end cutscene

[crude vapor]

Cool, also are there any biomes in bz that i should avoid like sn's mountains and dunes? (Not needed for story and full of leviathans)

[lyric current]

But I guess there's more

[west mountain]

But have you skipped ||Maidas and Sams story line completely???||

[lyric current]

Probably skipped most of it.😄

[west mountain]

Such a shame the game allows players to finish like that, you missed all the highlights

[lyric current]

In my previous run I did some of those other things.

[crude vapor]

Imma guess no as on bz maps all biomes look important to story

[west mountain]

All biomes are relevant for the story progress, none must be avoided except the void itself, the ecological dead zone.

[crude vapor]

Well I'll go there once to get the data log and scan a void chell

[west mountain]

And all biomes are just stunningly beautiful!!!

[crude vapor]

Ye they do look so

[west mountain]

Void cheli unfortunately gives the same scan as the regular cheli, so its a bit a waste of time, but for glory.

[crude vapor]

Really? That makes no sense and tbf the game probs wouldn't let u scan a void if u already scanned a reg

[lyric current]

How does one scan void cheli without dying?

[crude vapor]

Scan fast

[west mountain]

A LOT of health kits 🙂

Sorry, got to go now. Be back later. See you!

[crude vapor]

Oh god that can only mean that my worst nightmare is true, there is no stasis rifle in bz

[lyric current]

I'd rather not do that in hc.

[crude vapor]

Ngl the drop pod sucks compared to sn's lifepod that guy actually gave u medkits

[lyric current]

Yes, also the pda ai thingy was better, without subtitle I couldn't understand most things bz's pda was saying...

[crude vapor]

It got that accent

[lyric current]

||Indian accent?||

[tardy zodiac]

why did they change the pda voice

[crude vapor]

Sounds like it

[tardy zodiac]

this sucks tremendously

[lyric current]

Yeah, Alterra really messed up with that decision.

[crude vapor]

Ye definatly gets annoying constantly hearing "warning turty seconds of oxygen remaining" when ever I keep using oxygen plants

[tardy zodiac]

yeah the storyline on this kinda bad and the way to finish it is boring as hell

there is no more of those leviathans theres just ||one at that crystal cave||

[lyric current]

"Warning dangerous ..., weather approaching."

[crude vapor]

"Oxygen"

[tardy zodiac]

if they dont bring back pda girl from first subnautica to subnautica 3 I wont play it

[crude vapor]

Lmao bit harsh

[tardy zodiac]

nah pda voice is your only friend

the only anchor on sanity

its the essence of subnautica

[crude vapor]

No ur friend is the fish

The PDA is ur companion

[lyric current]

Actually ||Habitat builder|| is your only friend

[tardy zodiac]

he ||condesending||

[crude vapor]

Na ur friend is the reaper all he want is hugs

[tardy zodiac]

there aint no reaper only that ||shadow dude at crystal||

[crude vapor]

There cheli

He want hugs to

[lyric current]

That reminds me, I'm outa ||shadow ones||, they do respawn, right?

[tardy zodiac]

oh that leviathan aint spoiler literally the first thing u see when u open the game

[crude vapor]

Theoretically no as its a hostile creature

[crude vapor]

Tru dat

[tardy zodiac]

on subnautica the ghost leviathans on the void respawn but not on the crater

[lyric current]

I'm regretting some decisions now

[crude vapor]

No now its a good base spot as there ain't no Lev's to kill ya

[tardy zodiac]

I only played below zero cause truck

but the game is mostly ice

[crude vapor]

Im playing for PS trophies and cause I loved sn

[tardy zodiac]

they announced they were developing subnautica 3 on april so soon hopefully we see the return of pda girl of sn 1

[crude vapor]

Note I did play sn on my switch so I'll probs rebuy it on PS some time and speedrun it for trophies

[tardy zodiac]

probably gonna suck more tremendously since some chinese bought unknown worlds

they boutta sell sn on aliexpress

[crude vapor]

Lmao

[dapper badger]

So iceberg do not prevent light from recharging solar panel?

[lyric current]

I don't think anything does besides depth.

Acutally lemme test it

[dapper badger]

well i did, built under an iceberg and wondered why my solar panel still worked

[lyric current]

You can't use solars in caves (tested on land ones)

[inner bloom]

SPOILER ALERT: subnautica BZ is a downgrade from the OG because of its talking main character, exposition dump and teaser ending that doesn't feel like the combination of all the efforts of the player. Stuff like the fear of the unknow is downgraded a bit too (you quickly realize most of the leviathans won't 1shot you so you're never in true danger), and the cure from samantha is just non-sense and not even in the main plot (since you can gtfo without ending that storyline). Also the sea-truck is just bad since it's slower than a seamoth and less impressive than a cyclop. That said the designs are great, the planet still feels alive/mesmerizing and it's pretty damn good

[eternal garnet]

Alert: OPINION PIECE!

[tardy zodiac]

*big philosophy moment

[lyric current]

Let's not forget that bz's development also improved sn.

[tardy zodiac]

subnautica 3 better be better

[dapper badger]

i wouldnt mind being able to use every habitat, vehicle and stuff from both game in both game if you have purchased both.

[lime grove]

its technicaly 2 because the devs call BZ 1.5 but you can call it whatever you want

[dapper badger]

any recomended spot inBZ wher to build a base that wont need to me moved somewhere else later. not a big fan of having to move ton of stuff just because the base is now far from most point of interest

[west mountain]

I built my base exactly here: -279.2, -4.8, -103.2 and I think its the best place to start. But that is highly subjective of course.

[dapper badger]

mostly asking before building a large room with a bucketload of lockers and having them filled to the brim

[lyric current]

Moving is part of the game, especially when you forget to bring some stuff and you have to go back and get it.

[dapper badger]

wich is why im wondering if there more of a "central" place to minimise travelling

[west mountain]

@eternal garnet do you believe, after 400 hrs of gameplay I still missed an entire biome up to now. I just built my 20th base on the west arctic icebergs and I never ever came accross the pinnacarid territory. I only search the seafloor for resources but never had a look at the icebergs. Wow, all those pinnacarids are amazing. Unbelievable that I missed that completely so far.

[inner bloom]

i think it will be a p2 of the ending of sn2

[inner bloom]

you mean... a cyclop maybe

[dapper badger]

forgot to precise ... Below zero

[inner bloom]

i know, wish that sea-truck had more of a "central base use"

[west mountain]

The map is too small to really make use of it. And I tested it, with all the relevant modules you can really live in it like a base, even charging batteries work with swim charge fins and prawn thermal reactor. So it can be used as a mobile base for a limited amount of time.

[crude vapor]

Does anyone know the swim charge fins statistics like how many meters for 1 percent charge?

[west mountain]

Interesting question, I will measure it

[bold monolith]

Don't, I have the answer.

Let me find it again.

0.25 energy per second if your velocity is above 2. Otherwise they don't work.

[west mountain]

It took the seaglide 1600m (1633m) to use 20% of the battery (down to 80%). So without swim charge fins the seaglide would run for 8000m. It used 900m with swim charge fins to charge it back up from 80% to 100%, so from 0 to 100% it would take 4500m of distance traveled. So its 45m for 1%.

[crude vapor]

Ok so 900m for 20%, so 450m for 10%, 225m for 5% and I can't be bothered to go smaller

[west mountain]

But practically you do the following. If you have a battery to charge you simply put it into the seaglide and use it normally with swim charge fins. At one point it is fully charged without you having to care about it.

[crude vapor]

Wait don't the swim charge fins only charge the equipped equipment?

[west mountain]

Yes, the one you hold in your hand

[crude vapor]

Ah ok

[pliant jetty]

What!

[west mountain]

Very advanced technology

[pliant jetty]

Tell that to my many pet ||crabsquid||

[chrome atlas]

Ahhh sorry my bad

I misread the channel name

[crude vapor]

Are ribbon plants farmable? Please tell me they are

[west mountain]

yes

[crude vapor]

How does it work tho

[west mountain]

Did you already unlock the ||recyclotron|| blueprint.

[crude vapor]

Oh what the hell is that

[west mountain]

Just swipe them with your knife and take the seeds. Then plant them in an exterior growbed underwater.

[viscid idol]

Is ||Margurits green house|| on the surface?

[lime grove]

yup

[west mountain]

yes

[crude vapor]

Ooohh ok cool

[crude vapor]

God I'm dreading having to scan the leviathans without a stasis rifle

[next current]

It's easier than you think. Also if they bite you, just use a medkit.

[neon burrow]

what exactly is the benefit of buying more drones for the scanner room?

[lime grove]

more drones

and beacons from the drones

[neon burrow]

?

i already have a certain area that is beign scanned even without drones

does having more drones increase that area? im confused

[lime grove]

no

[void drum]

Lol, gotta love when someone doesn't know what they're talking about, when these developers spend months, if not years on a detailed and vividly alive game like Below Zero.

[west mountain]

The range upgrade for the scanner room increases the area

[lime grove]

you get more drones when you craft more drones

[neon burrow]

so then why buy more

this guy

[west mountain]

I never even used one drone, so no idea why you want multiple. You need the UHD chip

[lime grove]

more drones = more drones
what do you not understand

[neon burrow]

im purely wondering why youd want more drones, like what advantage to they give you?

[lime grove]

basically nothing except that you got more drones

[void drum]

For a sec I thought Markus said ranger upgrade

Thanks brain

[west mountain]

You can search different areas at the same time without having to go back and forth with one drone. But in the end, they all have to come back.

[neon burrow]

is the speed upgrade good, or should i just have 4 range upgrades?

[west mountain]

Well, if you use 4 range upgrades, then there is no room for the speed upgrade. Its a trade off. Do you want to scan a huge area or you want to find something quick

[lime grove]

I either go with 4 range or 3 range + 1 speed

[west mountain]

I have 4 range and 2 speed and use them in any combination I think is the most useful for the job.

[neon burrow]

thats fair enough

[crude vapor]

So to make the ||test override|| I need a ||parallel processing unit|| which ik can be found in the ||mercury parts|| but how many do I need to scan and will I need to visit multiple parts?

[west mountain]

3 scans and probabely need to visit multiple parts

[crude vapor]

Do none of the parts have all 3?

[west mountain]

One has 3

But each part has interesting stuff to find and scan otherwise

[crude vapor]

Hmm

[stuck mason]

Can you make suggestions for The Upcoming games? Or just gamble and hope to god that the thing you want is in the game

[crude vapor]

So there is a marker on my map called ||alien distress signal|| is that where ||al-an transfers into our head|| or something different?

[west mountain]

Same, its for players who do not find it after a certain amount time in the gameplay. Just to make sure they get the hint. Or it appears in general, i dont know. No, I dont have that beacon.

[crude vapor]

The thing is tho I found it before the beacon appeared

[west mountain]

Yes, I know. I dont have it. I dont know why. Maybe it was added later?

[crude vapor]

Maybe well I'll probs go back there so it doesn't have the yellow "you haven't been here" marker in my pda

Also is it just my game or wat cause when ever I press quit it sorta flashes on the screen for a bit then quits

[stray breach]

||So apparently you can hatch glow whales||

[crude vapor]

Oooo I want one

[west mountain]

Yes, every creature egg will hatch and ||if you put two of the same species they will breed||

[stray breach]

I found it in the Lilypad's right under my bases moonpool so they can be found there

[west mountain]

Yes they are everywhere on the floating lilypad islands. many

[stray breach]

Not gonna lie...I thought it was gonna be a squidshark XD

[west mountain]

Oh, they are very hard to find

[crude vapor]

I shall remember that for when I actually build a base, cause all I have rn is the drop pod, 4 floating lockers, some outdoor growbeds and 2 tubes with a modification station in.

[dawn scroll]

can someone help me the base connected air pump isnt appearing for some reason

[eternal garnet]

I believe that is removed content

[dawn scroll]

then how do i connect air into my base

[eternal garnet]

just power it.

[lime grove]

solar panels are a good start

[dawn scroll]

is that the only way?

[stray breach]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

yes. or build above water lol

[humble solar]

Where does BZ store the images you take with your PDA?

[eternal garnet]

depends on your platform. Steam?

[humble solar]

Epic

[west mountain]

As soon as the base is powered by any power source, the oxygen is generated automatically.

[eternal garnet]

I don't have notes for Epic, but check:

• windows images
• %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero\SubnauticaZero

for the 2nd, paste the address into a windows folder address bar

Oh. it's likely inside a savegame in the 2nd location

[stray breach]

Guess the location

[next current]

Arctic Spires.

[stray breach]

correct

How much of a joke is this area in a prawn suit?

Cause I always did this area with the snowfox

Bro 💀

[storm imp]

yes

[stray breach]

I had no idea these teleporters were in below zero

ok yeah. The area was not just a joke, but an entire clown

[warm notch]

Hi - I was wondering, does the "Unstuck" option work if you're in a vehicle or does it only work on Robin?

[stray breach]

I think so?

I'm not 100% sure though

[midnight swan]

So i booted up bz for the first time, right?

I hate it

I was making a bit of progress and i was going to scan the seaglide fragments so i could get to the emergency cache, right

Also i had a knife and scanner as my tools

I was making good progress

[next current]

The Unstuck Button only affects the player. Not vehicles.

[midnight swan]

And as i am going over to where i saw the seaglide fragments, two sea monkeys stole my knife and scanner, and i almost drowned and when i get to the surface theres a blizzard which is just great

So now all of that ~10 minutes was wasted and im going to freeze to death

[next current]

Make an Air Bladder.

[midnight swan]

Also there was a random glitchy gloating seamoth fragment

[midnight swan]

I didnt drown, i only almost did

[next current]

I know. It still should be made regardless.

[warm notch]

@next current @stray breach Thank you! I really needed to know for sure. 😊

[midnight swan]

Also the sea monkeys got away faster than i could get them because i didnt have a seaglide, which i was trying to get but they stole my scanner so i have to do the stuff i did all over again, which is surprisingly not fun

[stray breach]

There is a way that can make them stop taking items from you, however it includes story spoilers

[midnight swan]

I already know the story

[next current]

Np.

[midnight swan]

How do you make them not steal items

[stray breach]

||Follow the SOS||

[midnight swan]

Can you explain further?

[next current]

They make audio-cues for when they're chasing you. If you hear it, just press E.

[stray breach]

It is a little hard to explain. Just go to the deeper part of the twisty bridges where the brute sharks are and the game should give you a marker on your hud

[midnight swan]

I play on switch

[stray breach]

The button to put away tools

[midnight swan]

Ok so B

[next current]

What's your holster button?

[midnight swan]

Wdym

[next current]

Holstering basically means to put something away.

[midnight swan]

B

[stray breach]

I cannot go one playthrough without being grabbed by a leviathan in this game -_-

[next current]

So yeah, B would be that button.

Leviathans do be Leviathans.

[stray breach]

I got ion power now though :D

And the oxygen tank that boosts you forward

[midnight swan]

Is there any way to chase them and get the tool back

[next current]

Booster Tank be epic.

[stray breach]

Yes

[next current]

I assume you got the data box in the Purple Vents?

[midnight swan]

What do you do?

[stray breach]

follow them and take it when you are prompted to do so

[stray breach]

yeah

[midnight swan]

Ah but i cant do that, so i cant get them back

[stray breach]

was leaving the ravine and heard it scream. Turned around and saw it going for me.

[next current]

Lol.

[stray breach]

I let out a scream I have never let out before when I noticed it going for me lol

I got this games equivalent to the cuddlefish!!!

[midnight swan]

Cool! I actually got my third ||cuddlefish egg|| from ||lost river cache|| today! (subnautica spoilers not bz)

[tacit thorn]

Any idea how big the centipede leviathan hit box is? If I make a cage with vertical connector going from every second corridor, will that be enough, or need them more dense?

[bold monolith]

The ice worm?

[tacit thorn]

nope, this thing

it seems 2x3 grate works

need to see if the thing tries to clip through rockwalls again

[storm imp]

I think the lad's a bit lost

[stray breach]

The shadow leviathan

[stray breach]

Bro took a wrong turn 💀

[stray breach]

Are squidshark eggs a thing?

[storm imp]

seems so

[clever crow]

rare. i found them once, can't find them again

[bold monolith]

It's the rarest egg. There are two at the same place.

There are more trivalve eggs than squidshark eggs.

[stray breach]

Found them

[sour narwhal]

guys i just finished subnautica 1 so can u guys tell me a little about below zero but not spoiling it too much (i have only seen the trailers

[sour narwhal]

what dat

[stray breach]

eggs

[sour narwhal]

oh

[sour narwhal]

can u tell me a little bit about the game dont tell me too much (i only watch the trailers)

not about the eggs though

[lime grove]

dont go into deep areas, collect as much water and food blocks when you spawn, collect as much resources as you can (just dont overflow your inventory and storage with them)

[stray breach]

I just realized I have to go through its path

[lime grove]

you'll see more in the later area

[stray breach]

I am on my second playthrough. My first, however, was when the game just came out of early access

[lime grove]

i recommend getting the zapping module for the seatruck if you're gonna go there

[stray breach]

uh oh

I think it saw me

yeah

I thought I zapped it but it still grabbed me and scared the (crap) out of me

[sour narwhal]

ok thx:)

hmm i wonder what aliens are there on sector zero

i only know the squid-shark and that one that grabs things

[lime grove]

i can say that the aliens still exist

[stray breach]

The squid-shark is honestly a giant joke once you have any vehicle

[lime grove]

also, you dont unlock the rebreather and high capacity oxygen tank from crafting, you must find databoxes for those

[sour narwhal]

RIP

[lime grove]

they arent hard to find, around 120 meters or sum

you'll probably have some basic tools at this point

[sour narwhal]

haha l+squid-shark+ratio+bozo+dollerama reaper+goofy ahh

[lime grove]

they also replaced the reaper with an oversized shrimp

[sour narwhal]

FR?

[lime grove]

fr

[sour narwhal]

😂

[sour narwhal]

oh nahhh

I gotta buy below zero rn!

and oversized shrimp goofy squids! and more???

[lime grove]

i would also say that the chelicerate (oversized shrimp) is half ghost half reaper

cause it has mandibles and is as the void monster

[stray breach]

idc if they are smaller...they still scare me a lot

[sour narwhal]

is it just me or a think leviathans are cute 🙂

i wanna hug them

even though there scary

[lime grove]

the shrimp will give you a hug

[sour narwhal]

😭

[sour narwhal]

REALL?

[lime grove]

a more aggressive than the reaper's one tho

[sour narwhal]

REALLY?

[stray breach]

Bro got the auto-mod involved 💀

[sour narwhal]

im confused

i wasn't spamming

caps

[stray breach]

All caps

[sour narwhal]

ohhhh

[sour narwhal]

but nahhhhh ima break into Walmart or some gaming store to steal subnautica below zero just to get a hug from a oversized shrimp
