below-zero-chat

[crude vapor]

So wats the best water source then?

[west mountain]

Still suit and the water filtration machine

[crude vapor]

Doesn't that give the same as water filtration?

[west mountain]

Well, you carry it with you all the time, so you never run out of water. Plus some large bottles from the filtration machine, and you are good to go

[crude vapor]

True but I do like the reinforced damage reduction

[west mountain]

How often do you suffer damage? Just take a health kit. But that is up to you. I always either use still suit or cold suit. So then you just carry water bottles or fabricate water from bladder fish then. Also spicy fruit salad has plenty of water too.

And frost anemony hearts give 50% of water. So when you are in east or west arctic, just grab one of those

[crude vapor]

Hmmm so many options tho its a shame as coffee was the fastest option

[west mountain]

Coffee in Thermos gives you body heat, thats all it does.

[crude vapor]

Sad wish it would just produce coffee like in sn but if u put a thermos is it then filled that up instead

[west mountain]

It produces coffee but coffee does not give you water

[crude vapor]

Boooo

[west mountain]

Water filtration and seatruck dock consume a lot of energy, so you have to stack up on that

[deep kettle]

Average day in Subnautica 👀

[little haven]

Who needs water anyway?

[west mountain]

And what now???

Oh you dont have an air bladder yet, I would craft one

[little haven]

I had mostly ate bladderfish before o2 tanks since I didn't realize what the sea monkey did, but luckily instincts from subnautica told me to knife it to get it to screw off.

But I already have a seatruck now, so air bladders are questionable for being in caves or 200+ meters down

[west mountain]

Air bladder can be a life saver, always have one on you. And btw you can craft more than one O2 tank for backup, if you like. A got it, that is your spare one already. Excellent!

[little haven]

I might but... think one should be enough since I have a free source of o2 wherever I go pretty much

[sleek timber]

is it even possible to have a functional bed in a small compartment?

i.e. something that's not a multipurpose or large room

[carmine bobcat]

I don't think so

cuz the small compartment hence the name small compartment probably won't fit a bed

[sleek timber]

that's the thing - it fits a bed

[carmine bobcat]

what?

[sleek timber]

but when I attempt to sleep, it says "not enough space"

[carmine bobcat]

I guess the bed piece can fit but the functional piece can't fit

strange how it can fit a bed but makes sense on why it's not functional

[sleek timber]

doesn't really make sense lol

as if one can't climb into a bed from the front

[carmine bobcat]

so true so true

the one mistakes I have made when I built a base in my playthroughs I always built in the safe shallows

stupid small twisty bridges

[west mountain]

Yes. the obeservatory works

[west mountain]

I love to build minibases. How small can it get and still fit everything you need inside

[eternal garnet]

oh, that's my cue, isn't it

Close enough.

[lime grove]

all i need is a fabricator and a standing locker

[west mountain]

I said and still fit everything inside 🙂

[eternal garnet]

shh!

[storm imp]

Multipurpose rooms may be mroe compact.

[west mountain]

Thats not the point, too boring for a minibase. Should have some flair to it 🙂

[tacit thorn]

Crazy

[broken badge]

I had this issue last year (meaning a long time ago) when I was making bedrooms out of partitioned portions of the large room. Apparently you have to leave a good bit of room around the bed to be able to stand up or it’ll say “not enough space”-I keep getting that message, which I’m guessing that’s what you got too. The bed wasn’t meant to be deployed inside tubes even though it might fit. Just MP rooms and large rooms (oh and observatories). Showing some of the examples I had, one of them where the desk was too close I guess, and it wouldn’t let me use the bed)

What can I say, building in Subnautica/BZ has been known to be finicky

[sleek timber]

I see, thanks

uhh, I got myself into a predicament

[broken badge]

Sometimes, if you can’t back straight out, unloading the modules and moving them back out the way you came can help (if it’s not too far)

[sleek timber]

LOL nvm
I'm just too skilled

managed to get through the whole tunnel without needing to unduck any modules

time to build a base

[tacit thorn]

what if you put bed sideways in the tube? Or crossing?

[broken badge]

I don’t think it’ll let you use the bed though

You can try it, see if you can use it

[west mountain]

Yes, the bed fits in a tube but you cannot lay down on it, nor jump over. BUT I flooded my base and one leak was behind the bed. So when it was flooded I COULD swimm over it and repair the leak but before I could get out, the water was drained just enough to not be able to swim above the bed anymore and I was stuck on the bed. No chance of recovery that time, so I had to reload my save game.

[broken badge]

Yikes

[sleek timber]

uhh.... I think this is a tad too ambitious

ok I got it

this base is gonna be so dumb haha

[carmine bobcat]

Whats the best biome for a base

is below zero worth it?

Its really fun and the story makes sense i dont think 40 dollars is worth it but it goes on sale quite a bit

[safe sun]

My favorite is the lillypads and deep lillypads. Ventgarden has some great views too though.

[carmine bobcat]

Ok thx

[carmine bobcat]

ill buy it when i get a good chance , with a nice sale

[safe sun]

Yes.

[carmine bobcat]

how do u use the horsepower seatruck module bc it won’t lemme use it on switch

?

[sleek timber]

works with an X compartment

probably with a T compartment too, but didn't test

[carmine bobcat]

[sleek timber]

you don't use it - it just gives you a passive power increase for when you haul multiple modules

[carmine bobcat]

Huh

[sleek timber]

i.e. having more than 2 modules attached doesn't slow you down as much

[carmine bobcat]

ohh

okwy

thanks

[sleek timber]

nice skype emoji lol

skype emojis masterrace

[west mountain]

its the afterburner that you have to use actively. It gives you a speed boost for a couple of seconds and then needs to coold down. Horsepower just goes into the seatruck upgrade hatch

[carmine bobcat]

how do i use the aftr burner

[carmine bobcat]

HAHA

[west mountain]

On PC you press ALT, like for running

[carmine bobcat]

aww i barely play subjautica ob mg pc

[little haven]

"This plant can't grow underwater"

Me:

[carmine bobcat]

@sleek timber @west mountain thnx for ur help

[eternal garnet]

that's not underwater tho, is it

[little haven]

No, but this is.

[uncut lantern]

I can not find the pengwing egg and i searched the east and west arctic and i can not find it

[eternal garnet]

they are rare. What for? you can breed using two babies

[barren swan]

Bro the freaky looking lobsters whos name I can't spell are terrifying

Was just going back to my base from Marguerite's greenhouse and one just popped up on my screen trying to take a bite of my seatruck

First time I saw one of them

Had a whole heart attack

[uncut lantern]

wait so i can breed two pengwings to get a pengwing egg?

[eternal garnet]

I actually don't know if they produce eggs or just babies directly

So possibly. 70%

[west mountain]

Correct, they produce pengwing eggs that then hatch into penglings and then grow to become pengwings

[carmine bobcat]

ooh maybe I should make an alien containment then

haven't done that in any of my saves

[west mountain]

Absolutely, there are eggs from (almost) every creature, you just have to find them. Some are very very rare, only 2 in the entire game, so dont loose one!

[carmine bobcat]

mmm hmmm Im gonna try that.

[west mountain]

Good to know: if you put penglings or seamonkey babies from the alien containment tank into an aquarium they dont grow and stay tiny and cute.

[carmine bobcat]

YO that's dope

are there eggs in the deeper biomes?

[west mountain]

Yep, very special ones

[carmine bobcat]

including ||crystal caverns||

[west mountain]

Yes, but only ones that you find somewhere else already, so not special ones.

[carmine bobcat]

good to know

so what eggs are like absolutely worth it

[west mountain]

That answer will be a spoiler, do you want it?

[carmine bobcat]

hint hint I've already beaten the entire game

[west mountain]

Ah, ok. So there are the ||yellow and blue trivalve|| that can be used as ||pets|| as @eternal garnet already wrote

[eternal garnet]

there are pet eggs, creatures not found in the sea

Next, the cutest thing ingame is the monkey baby

But mostly the pets.

[west mountain]

And for me the rarest egg is the ||squidshark||, they are so had to find. Like ||yellow trivalve only two in the game||

[carmine bobcat]

Apparently the ||trivalves are found in the spires||

[eternal garnet]

ah yes, the lovely and cute and friendly squidsharks

[west mountain]

Only the ||blue ones|| not the|| yellow ones||

[eternal garnet]

there are 3 hidden locations, with 2 eggs in each

[carmine bobcat]

wait ||squidshark?||

[west mountain]

Yep

[carmine bobcat]

I think I know what that is

[west mountain]

Hopefully if you have already played the game

[carmine bobcat]

their the ones that have that EMP sort of thing

[west mountain]

Correct, one of the most elaborate species imho

[carmine bobcat]

good I remembered

wait so their eggs Im assuming are found in the areas where the giant ones are normally found

[west mountain]

Yes, but there some locations and only one has the eggs

[little haven]

Should I bring an extra ultra tank or just have one on my back with my seatruck and hope I don't run into a sticky situation?

[carmine bobcat]

my guess is the lilypad islands

[carmine bobcat]

ehhhh if you have a rebreather then oxygen shouldn't really be a problem

[little haven]

Since decided to test the booster tank and it's worse than a disappointment tbh. Good thing the || recycler || helped with that.

[carmine bobcat]

if you're diving deep

[little haven]

Yeah I have the rebreather bc I am not wanting to suck up 3+ units a second.

[west mountain]

No but another species is there

[little haven]

After miracously finding it and using bladderfish to save myself from suffocation.

[carmine bobcat]

one of the rare eggs

?

[west mountain]

No not rare but huuuuge

[little haven]

I might probably just ditch the extra o2 tank probably given that I have || ion batteries || for the || truck boosters || to go faster and stuff and more depth threshold

[carmine bobcat]

whats the name of the species?

[west mountain]

Glow whales

[carmine bobcat]

GASP I know those

[little haven]

Oh I got to pet a glow whale

[carmine bobcat]

those are the ones by the icebergs on your way to ||margarita||

[little haven]

Such a cute gentle giant.

[carmine bobcat]

||the greenhouse I mean||

[west mountain]

Correct you can ride rhem

[little haven]

I thought he would be after me like all those sharks and stuff

[carmine bobcat]

omg what?

[little haven]

And I didn't have the || stasis rifle yet if that's a thing in below zero too || so yeah

[carmine bobcat]

its not

[little haven]

Bruh...

How are you supposed to scan the dangerous lads?

There's someone that legit does 75+ damage in one hit

I had to pop 10 first aids just to scan him

[carmine bobcat]

I think thats the ||shadow||

Ohhh ok so the eggs for the ||squidsharks|| are found in the deep lilypad caves

[west mountain]

Some people kill them first and scan later

[carmine bobcat]

well now I know what to get for my alien containment

so ||squidsharks|| ||Trivalves|| and ||glow whales||

[west mountain]

I think there are 15 species eggs.

[carmine bobcat]

if there was a chelacirate egg I'd get it for sure

plus the big dark boy

[west mountain]

No

[carmine bobcat]

sigh

wait you guys were talking about a monkey egg?

OH WAIT the sea monkey egg?

[west mountain]

Yes

[carmine bobcat]

wait so where's the yellow ||trivalve||

[west mountain]

Same like squidshark

[eternal garnet]

in deep lilypad cave, in a dead end opposite from the artifacts

under a spiral plant

[carmine bobcat]

oh

[eternal garnet]

so if you point to where the artifact green lamps are, turn 180

[carmine bobcat]

the first artifact lamp?

[eternal garnet]

yes, the ones higher up

[carmine bobcat]

ah ok

[eternal garnet]

across to the other side, down in a small cave, under a spiral plant

video helps a lot

[carmine bobcat]

I think my main eggs will be pengwings, ||Trivalves, Squidsharks and Glow whales||

[west mountain]

You collect all 14 of them thats the goal

[carmine bobcat]

oh boy it'll be like an easter egg hunt but more biodiverse

its 16 as a matter of fact

omg those anger issued violent spiky boys in the thermal spires have eggs too?

omg those hypnosis dudes also have eggs

this is turning into a deadly biodiverse egg hunt

[tacit thorn]

can confirm it works. Also use on bears before getting samples.

[little haven]

Til penglings can sneeze.

[tacit thorn]

I have an idea what would really improve the game.
Let us hotbar buildables. This is an underwater base building game after all, right?
And add 12 hotbars swappable with F1-F12 keys while were at it.

[carmine bobcat]

Genius

[tacit thorn]

Exploration notes: Make sure no squidsharks are nearby when prospecting minerals.
I've seen the squidshark from up close twice in minute, and I really do not wish to relive the experience.
Also, that should have been instakill, but I guess my reinforced suit is sturdy.

[little haven]

I'd say to allow holding L4 / L5 or R4 / R5 with using L stick to have 8 hotkeys ig.

[tacit thorn]

If only we could connect a purpose-made device that has more keys

Would this work with console?

[limpid flower]

did this game get a huge graphical downgrade with the truck dock?!!! it looks sooooooo sawtooth baaaaaad! my heart is broken bad. what is this and how is it legal? im on switch and all edges and even the ground have 3 inch saw tooth triangles comeing off of them and some n64 static ground spots that dont even look like the same demension.

looks like im playing on a nds

[tacit thorn]

just wait till you try to dock. It drops to below 1fps on my mid-tier pc

[limpid flower]

how does the video game industry exist selling broken unfinished games and then breaking the already sold games and downgrading from what folks originally purchase?

am i missing something? this is disgusting.

[eternal garnet]

well, something is wrong with your game. The updates are tested on switch before they go out

[limpid flower]

im saying they tested a downgrade of graphics and sent it out

[eternal garnet]

I don't think so, but I test on steam

[limpid flower]

u gonna take my specs on that call doc?

[eternal garnet]

no, I can't do much on switch

[limpid flower]

then lets not just jump to my game being broken

[tacit thorn]

have you tried the univarsal electronics fix? turn it off and on again? might have ran out of ram

[limpid flower]

This is on a switch not a nds no lie even though it looks like it

[pliant jetty]

Just wrapped up, I think I'm team base game.

[carmine bobcat]

I need help with egg hunting

specifically the ||squidshark||

[tacit thorn]

normally you find eggs in same biome the monsters are in

[pliant jetty]

I feel like below zero was missing a last act

I gathered all the ||body parts || which, honestly, I already had the requirements for except one because of my hoarding.

[tacit thorn]

did you find the fate of your late sister?

[pliant jetty]

I did, and in very much the wrong order

[carmine bobcat]

lol

[pliant jetty]

I actually found the ||antidote|| before the ||leviathan||

[eternal garnet]

easy mode

[pliant jetty]

I spent more time trying to figure out how to get fur off the beast I murdered

Then I did with the ||infected leviathan||

[tacit thorn]

that one is very not obvious. the fur thing.

[pliant jetty]

Drilling it did not work

[tacit thorn]

nope, it did not xd

[pliant jetty]

I actually found one ||Alan part|| because I flipped the hand drawn map upside down in my head

And assumed the other side of the bridge

I was very confused

[carmine bobcat]

if you're looking for fur its found on A the ground or B caves where the stalkers are found

[pliant jetty]

You can also loot their corpses in a very specific way

Which, is slightly absurd

[eternal garnet]

you can loot from a live one. This is the intended way A. There's a B, finding it in places

[pliant jetty]

It can be as intended as it likes, I was using my prawn to ignore the weather and fella mauled me

I was only trying to scare him off

Then he cancelled his subscription to life

[carmine bobcat]

I got two ||squid sharks eggs||

[pliant jetty]

I could only loot the body using ||pengling||

[carmine bobcat]

hopefully they'll mate

[pliant jetty]

Breeding program time

[carmine bobcat]

will they actually mate?

[pliant jetty]

What's the plan?

With enough space

Actually, they'll mate regardless

Then the overflow dies

[carmine bobcat]

ok well Im getting the eggs I need for my containment

I have the ones I want

which is glow whale, and Squidsharks

[pliant jetty]

Large rooms are better value per unit of glass BTW

[carmine bobcat]

Oh yea thats a better idea

[tacit thorn]

in bz, they won't mate if there is no space left in box. But two of them alone take 8/10 slots so should mate. unless they 3x3 [then 4 fit]?

[pliant jetty]

A large room gets you two double tanks

So that's plenty.

[carmine bobcat]

yep so the plan is to breed two squidsharks

and if I can I'll add the other eggs

[little haven]

Probably gonna do breeding later since trying to get better rooms and stuff first and more bps

[tacit thorn]

large room is 40 spaces, enough for 10 biggest fish

[little haven]

Since I almost ran into lung oopsies from || trying to follow the pilot after going to the mine and deep purple stuff for ultra tank and stuff ||

Oh a large room.

Sounds better than multipurpose, if it is better than that.

If it's bigger then I might probably just wait til I get that bp or figure out how to design the end game base since my starter base is there for loots and vehicle basics

[tacit thorn]

main benefit is that you can actually walk around the tank, its not squeezed like in multi room

[little haven]

Ooooooh...

[tacit thorn]

large room takes same space as 2 multi rooms side-by-side

[little haven]

If I get more quartz I'll probably make that long term storage probably

Dang, wow.

[whole wave]

When is the third subnautica game expected to come out?

[tacit thorn]

you can build 2 multi and replace by large later

[little haven]

I'll think about it

Relocating a ton of storage was a huge pita and recycled 10 water lockers for the titanium refund at least

[whole wave]

I saw it was sort of announced about a year ago, I was wondering how long it took between announcement and release of BZ

[little haven]

If there's below zero I'm not surprised if the next is gonna be above hundred

[tacit thorn]

even if 3rd game is announced today, it will take around 3 years to get playable one

[little haven]

Probably.

I mean I have a checklist of things I want to do in survival after I beat the story and other things.

[whole wave]

Well it was announced about a year ago, may be sooner than we think

[little haven]

Or probably see if b0 has modding for steam deck since might fancy a challenge

[tacit thorn]

three years from open beta to finished product, unless they release EA with something actually polished.

[little haven]

Seatruck in trailer: Mobile base or bigger bacpack

Seatruck for me: Free air and speed

Early access would be interesting but from how that was in other companies well, hmm

[tacit thorn]

Seatruck: Nimble exploration vehicle and air storage.
Seatruck with modules - portable base/storage.

[little haven]

I have just the lil seatruck since the small spaces were... yeah.

And I can't be bothered to bring 1-3 extra spare o2 tanks bc rerunning back to loot essentials is ouch

[tacit thorn]

It all depends how company does it. I've seen some games in EA that look finished, and many AAA 'full release' titles that were at best a playable beta

[tacit thorn]

You bring prawn. park truck in open, loot stuff, dump loot, repeat

[little haven]

I would being the prawn if it was faster ngl

Or if it could be attached or something

Like how in the prequel with || cyclops || or unless if below zero has something like that

[tacit thorn]

Uh, did you dicover the tow hook for the seatruck? lets you take prawn around

[little haven]

No.

But thanks for letting me know... that's gonna be fun.

[tacit thorn]

ok, there is a tow hook for seatruck 😉

[little haven]

I was like if the vehicles at early to mid game are small, then how would it be stored

Unless if || ion cubes could be used for tping ig ||

[tacit thorn]

the best use for ||ion cubes|| is as ||build tool battery||

[carmine bobcat]

Les go breeding program can begin

Glow whale and Squidshark

we just need ||Trivalves||

[little haven]

|| Figures, I did that for vehicle and the tools I used atm. Getting more to finish other tools on hotbar. ||

[pliant jetty]

Aww, harvesting the ones who rutted themselves to death and shoving them into the bio reactor.

[next sparrow]

I have completed Subnautica Below Zero

now I can say that both the first Subnautica and Below Zero are at the same level of quality, both are incredible and for sure the best survival games overall

[carmine bobcat]

one has more story one has more survival

[tacit thorn]

UI/UX could be better

[next sparrow]

still an incredible game

[next sparrow]

yup

[little haven]

Below zero has land oxygen

[broken badge]

I think you’re confusing a statement made by Kalina about them wanting to make another game with an actual statement about a 3rd game. We don’t have any definitive statement about when work will start on a 3rd game, and idk that we will get such a statement

[carmine bobcat]

Where are the magnetites at

[little haven]

Head deeper.

(Contains story spoilers.)

|| Chase the pilot down past the lilypad area from 300-500+ meters depth and hope you don't lose your controls to some siren looking monster that almost drained my o2 and hope some of those mags spawn there, or use a prawn to get the big clusters. ||

[pliant jetty]

I'd even argue bz was of a higher quality, but I like the original better 🤔

[jolly basin]

BZ is very pretty though

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/530164960576405520/1020520478034636890/2022-09-17_14-22.mp4

[tough oak]

i like this version better

mainly because no stasis rifle

ppl complain about the leviathans being more scarce in bz and then they just stasis rifle spam and kill every leviathan in their world

[broken badge]

Which then just makes their world more empty and boring

[tough oak]

as for the leviathans, do they have hp regeneration? i wonder that if you stun them alot just to escape they eventually just rack up damage over the hours and die

[broken badge]

I’m not aware of there being any health regeneration

But there’s not ongoing damage either.

[tough oak]

wdym ongoing damage

u mean like after reloading save?

[broken badge]

Sorry I thought you meant after you’d done damage, they’d slowly succumb and die on their own, I was saying they don’t go off and die on their own. My b, didn’t mean to confuse, I thought you meant something else

[little haven]

no stasis rifle has led to me first aid spamming just to scan the 75 damage creature.

Creepvine farm was a great idea.

[tough oak]

i meant over time, as you encounter a leviathan over and over, using perimiter defense system will slowly deal more and more damage that the leviathan dies unintentionally

ig if that happens just spawn in another one

[broken badge]

There isn’t a medkit fabricator, you unlock the ability to make medkits from the creepvine mesh once you find your drop pod I believe

Once you have the exterior growbed, it’s pretty easy to just grow the creepvine for easy making of medkits

[tough oak]

if only creepvine didnt take huge amounts of inv space

[carmine bobcat]

They only take 4🐋

[tough oak]

thats alot

considering the relatively small size of subnautica inv to other games

[broken badge]

I just take a creepvine seed (the yellow one) with me when I go to lilypads to make a base, along with some other stuff that’s not as easy to find over there.
But it’s easy to find creepvine where I make my first base, which is close to the shark tank

Since I have my seatruck with storage and fabrication module, it’s not hard to carry a creepvine seed sample

[little haven]

I mainly just use the seatruck for mobility and for ease in caves especially with what I had to go for recently.

I might grab a storage for resource farming though since I need to get gold and lithium especially

|| It's a very good thing I stayed close with my truck otw to the second sanctuary area bc the siren luring creatures that make you look like you're on an acid trip is an easy way to get lost and probably get a game over. ||

[remote geyser]

i've seen so many people complain about how you get warmer in water but get cold in the ocean

if you didn't know, wetsuits function by trapping a thin layer of water between you and the suit, this keeps you warm even at cold temperatures because it helps you preserve your body heat

since the body produces heat constantly, you are unlikely to feel cold at all, in fact get warmer, if the wetsuit is 7mm thick neoprene

we do not know the thickness of robin's wetsuit but we know for sure that she has a good one

this is all thanks to water's high heat capacity

[carmine bobcat]

Water is so hot🥵

[remote geyser]

water is not hot you make it hot if you touch it

[carmine bobcat]

Thanks for the compliment

[little haven]

Water isn't wet.

[carmine bobcat]

Is the ocean soup?

[remote geyser]

you could say that but i don't recommend taking a sip of it

[broken badge]

In extreme cold you wouldn’t wear a wetsuit, you’d wear a dry suit

[echo salmon]

above water or deep

[carmine bobcat]

....

....

....

🤯

[broken badge]

I mean, it’s true

[pliant jetty]

This isn't actually true, wet suits insulate far better

[broken badge]

Not for arctic diving

You’d add thermal layers under a dry suit to keep you warmer

[pliant jetty]

Fair 🤔 but if that proofing failed at all you'd be in trouble

[broken badge]

That would be true of pretty much any of your equipment

[pliant jetty]

Whereas a wetsuit only permiates very slowly and that water forms a barrier

[broken badge]

I mean this is a game in which you can make a suit from a fabricator lol

[pliant jetty]

But a bite from a fish

And you are freezing in wet insulation

So, I'm opening the floor to spoilers of the best medium sized caves

Big enough to build in (just)

I found a few near the start that sea monkeys nest in

[broken badge]

There’s a big cave in purple vents, the one where there’s an ||alien artifact, that fossil sampler||

I think that’s what it’s called

[pliant jetty]

I've barely interacted with the ||King Prawn|| because he just didn't seem very interesting and while I liked ||vatuu from the legend of korra|| they're in a dead end I'm never going to again.

[broken badge]

You mean Al-An?

[pliant jetty]

Nah sec

I really loved my house in the ||dunes caves|| in base game

My house in bz is this ugly absurd thing

I built a tube up to the surface just to max my solar panels (I had an excess of titanium)

Built it in ||bridges||because I wanted to build more centrally on the map

But it was just flapping around in the open

Honestly, I want to find somewhere without thermals or sunlight just so have to commit to the bio reactor life

[broken badge]

Nuclear❤️

[pliant jetty]

Bleh

[broken badge]

[little haven]

Oh my gosh. A sea monkey || brought me gold || as I was looking for it. I'd hug him if I could

[pliant jetty]

I can just put a lantern tree next to the generator

[little haven]

Note to self don't swear in excitement

[broken badge]

If you pin things they’ll bring you stuff

[pliant jetty]

For infinite forever power

[little haven]

Yeah I had the cpu chip and prawn pinned so that's interesting to know

[pliant jetty]

I got muted the other day for an hour

[little haven]

Oh man.

[broken badge]

They can’t bring ion cubes but they can bring resources

[pliant jetty]

Potty mouthed

[little haven]

Well I got a stern warning it seems so now I know no swearing ig.

[pliant jetty]

Ion cubed prawn is life

[little haven]

I was hella excited for the guy to bring gold haha.

After he took my scanner before and I had to steal it back and run to surface before my lungs got off

[broken badge]

I often can get stuff for seatruck mk1 depth module from the sea monkeys without going to deep twisty for it, which is awesome

[pliant jetty]

I took my ion prawn up to|| the surface|| and punched all the monsters

[pliant jetty]

I wish they remained a menace unless you were good to them

Like feeding them, or releasing hatchlings

I tried feeding them in the hope it might chill them out

Will they steal your knife?

I want to do an|| Alan-less|| run.

I know it gates off loads of tech

But you have like, a bag full of knives

And you just arm then up

I did appreciate how ||magnetite|| was gated off behind investigation

Either|| spelunking in icebergs|| or ||pengling droning ||I'd say that was a high point of the design of the game

Because the moment I have 500m scan range the world is mine

[little haven]

That would be interesting for a reputation system tbh.

|| Just got prawn suit so now gonna go back to the mines and get that sealed crate and resource nodes I saw ||

[pliant jetty]

Subnautica 3 better be frugal with the magnetite!

[pliant jetty]

Prawn suit op tbh 😆

[little haven]

Yeah it has 6 rows wow.

[west mountain]

Great opportunity to scan it!!! He is the guardian of that area.

No, what for?

Zap it when it has you in the mouth, zero damage

Than do it later, but you should at one point. Just bring health kits.

Yes, that is the worst part to smell his breath. Very fishy

Just use a health kit, nothing kills you instantely

[floral stone]

Summon got a idea how to get these Penguins out of my seatruck

[west mountain]

You go for a chelicerate hunt without health kits, you are crazy 🙂

[west mountain]

No idea, but possibly when you dock your seatruck in the seatruck dock it should drain everything out.

[floral stone]

ok

wait

[broken badge]

Or maybe save & reload the game

[floral stone]

The Pinguins died

[west mountain]

And the water???

[floral stone]

as i moved the seatruck

[broken badge]

Well reloading the game will make them disappear

[floral stone]

ok

ik

[west mountain]

Yes, its not a beauty

[floral stone]

But its cool

[broken badge]

You don’t have to make a seatruck dock. It’s just a convenience

[floral stone]

I wish we could have a docking port or sth for the cyclops

[broken badge]

Kinda looks better attached to a large room or moonpool I think

[west mountain]

I could hardly add it to any of my existing bases but when you build a new one and take it into consideration from the beginning it works fine

If it only would also charge and repair the modules and prawn

23

[broken badge]

I usually have 2 bases, but I could easily make more

[west mountain]

Main Base
Twisty Bridges
Deep Twisty Bridges
Arctic shallows
Sparse arctic
Greenhouse
Purple vents
Deep Purple vents
Lilypad Land
Lilypad Water
Lilypad Rock
Lilypad Crevice
Lilypad Maida
Deep Lilypad Cave
Cristal Cavern
Thermal Spires
Void Base
Delta Island
West Arctic Iceberg
Phi Dock
Glacial Basin
Frost Acatia
Arctic spires

Just at the border. When you walk from the main building to the obeservatory the ghost chelis come. Its to enjoy them

[floral stone]

I will go with a base in the save shallows

[west mountain]

It fun and I do full decoration of everything to the max

Scan three fragments

Some are just crazy

[floral stone]

Logic

[west mountain]

Needs some decoration

And some are mini-bases. I like it very much, how small can you build and still fit everything inside

I emptied the entire map of everything. No more resources left, all gone

[floral stone]

The problem is, i want to charge the cells of my seatruck in the base at night

they are running out of power

i mean in the context of my text

[west mountain]

Then you need a reactor or thermal plant, solar wont do it

Good start, but not there yet 🙂

Gym and toilet

[floral stone]

Small question. is summon using the snowfox

[west mountain]

Yes, always. I love it! Have 4 of them. It was the main reason I wanted to play BZ

You need more

[floral stone]

I mean... you are defence less

[west mountain]

Against what? You are fast, no need to defend against anything

[floral stone]

Snowworm thing

i am using my krebs

[west mountain]

Does not bother what you came with, can destroy a prawn as quickly too. Makes no difference at all

[floral stone]

100hp snowfox

500hp krebs

5 times for 2 times more speed

[west mountain]

Jump upgrade is cool, its just a fun vehicle. Why not use it if the game offers it to you

[floral stone]

When i am trying to rotate the camara is lagging!

[west mountain]

Not on my PC 🙂

[floral stone]

Why i am the only guy who got this problem

When i am jumping over mountens, the snowfox touches the ground and looses 50% of his health

[sleek timber]

I'm currently building a base in the glacial dock

with a moonpool, seatruck dock and all

it looks crazy haha
barely managed to fit it in

[west mountain]

I have mine at the lake on the other side. Just in front of the ||antidote|| spy penglin cave

[sleek timber]

frozen lake, right?

[west mountain]

No, just at the lake. Same lake like your dock, just the other end

[sleek timber]

there's a lake?

does it lead anywhere?

[west mountain]

But if you are already there, frost acacia forest is the most beautiful place to build a land base imho

[west mountain]

Yes, to the ocean. Its the glacial basin connection. Its the same water as your dock, just swimm to the other side and there is the tunnel underneath. You used it to come to your base. Just where you come up. And there is the spy penglin cave for the ||antidote|| and the tempered cave that leads directly to frost acatia forest

[sleek timber]

yeah I made a small one there

[west mountain]

Its the most beautiful biome and you can go watch the ||frozen levi|| anytime you like. I wished it would blink an eye at one point.

[sleek timber]

oh, so you mean your base is literally like 50m away from where I marked?

[west mountain]

Its where the dark water pool is on your map

[sleek timber]

I was gonna build mine there too, but I couldn't fit the seatruck dock on that side lol

[west mountain]

No dock, just parked the truck in the lake.That was before the dock came out

[sleek timber]

yeah I know it's unnecessary, but I wanted it to be my main schtick

navigating that damn area is so hard

I got lost for 15 minutes yesterday, kept going around in circles

[west mountain]

Thats why I put hunderts of light stick all over glacial basin and arctic spires. Like a west arctic highway system.

[sleek timber]

good idea lol

do I understand this correctly?

to get from the glacial dock to robotics lab you have to take the blue path over the top of the caves

or the yellow underwater tunnel

[west mountain]

I made a video showing the path, you can check it: https://youtu.be/5kF4-4AbuP4

[sleek timber]

yesterday I kept walking around the bottom area in and out of caves, and it led me around in circles

[sleek timber]

ok thanks

[west mountain]

Yes, as you described. Also you will see all the light sticks 🙂

[floral stone]

What is the best fuel for the bioreaktor in below zero? ||i tryed baby penguins but there are not so much of them ||

[west mountain]

Here are the fuel types and the values: https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Bioreactor_(Below_Zero). Best fish is arctic peeper, best plant is preston fruit.

[floral stone]

ok

[west mountain]

Sorry, appologize. of course you can put in what you want. Here is the list: https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Bioreactor_(Below_Zero)

Preston fruits are the easiest and most powerful of the plants that you can grow next to the reactor

Arctic peepers are the highest fishs.

Most energy is kelp root pustules

[floral stone]

thx

[west mountain]

But root pustules dont regrow and you have to collect them

[floral stone]

i gonne put kelb in it

[west mountain]

So I prefer anything that grows next to the reactor

[pliant jetty]

Big fan of plants you don't need to cut for the reactor

[west mountain]

I usually put a growbed there

[west mountain]

Yes, literally anthing will do.

[pliant jetty]

Mostly I use it as a backup that isn't tapped unless need to charge a ion prawn from like 20%

But, powering up a base when you arrive is extremely satisfying

[sleek timber]

or put a large room with a generator next to a containment, and force the fish to watch as their friends get turned into energy soup

[remote geyser]

depends on the conditions and the design of the wetsuit

[west mountain]

I wished the bio reactor could auto-refill from a nearby food source automatically 🙂

[floral stone]

mods

[remote geyser]

afaik some wetsuits could trap water between you and the suit and seal so the heat is not wasted much

[sleek timber]

petition to add hoppers to subnautica?

[pliant jetty]

Problem is solar and thermal are just so prolific

[west mountain]

I have a 5000 base, Nuclear, Bio, Thermal and solar.

[pliant jetty]

You can just get infinite power pretty much whenever you are

[sleek timber]

can you get thermal power from those steam vents in glacial basin?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/3/33/Geothermal_Vent.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210806211835

[west mountain]

Or the sulfur pool on delta island? Try it and let us know pls

[west mountain]

The dont run continously and do produce very little heat, if it works then just barely

[pliant jetty]

if it can pass 35C then yeah

need to find a BZ challenge run

ironman isn't interesting to me

[west mountain]

Yes, what is your idea? Let me know I am interested too

[sleek timber]

No going underwater challenge

[deep kettle]

By the power of the spinning holefish I revive this chat!

[west mountain]

then let's gooooo!!!!

[deep kettle]

😛

Soo uhhh... What are your predictions for the new Subnautica?

[west mountain]

Have not looked into it so far. But something underwater maybe 🙂

Graphics might be absolutely amazing, looking at the Unreal-images

So they can either continue SN or BZ or come up with a complete new story, lets see.

[deep kettle]

I mean there's not much to look into as everything is still a secret xD

Hence "predictions" 😄

[west mountain]

I mean I have not followed any speculations as it is still years ahead and it will be what it will be. So I am just excited when it comes out. First I have to play the orginial SN. Have not played it yet.

[deep kettle]

😱

[west mountain]

Guess I will have the same problems as those who have played it in the correct order. Lots of complains why it is not like BZ 🙂

[deep kettle]

What if you like it better though?.. 👀

Join the dark side!

😂

[west mountain]

I only heard about the game when I watched videos from my favorite youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM1wdwN9ELc

[west mountain]

Never!!!!!!! Nooooooo

🙂

Also because of his diorama I WANTED to ride the snowfox in the game. I was addicted to the snowfox before I played the game.

So I never questioned that it is THE vehicle to have and ride

Unlike all the prawn-addicted 🙂

[deep kettle]

Sad prawn noises.

[west mountain]

It is noisy, it limits the view, it is slow. Snowfox is sooooo much better.

Just joking, I just love the snowfox. But of course for drilling and mining I use the prawn as well.

[deep kettle]

No opinions allowed here. Banned.

😛

[lime grove]

if were talking about land exploration then i like walking

[west mountain]

Thats the good about the snowfox, just pack it up

[deep kettle]

I still like the snowfox better than walking, this game was absolutely not made in the slightest to be fun when walking.

[lime grove]

i only got snowfox once just for ||the achievement||

[west mountain]

Shame on you! It is THE vehicle of BZ. Absolutely iconic

[deep kettle]

Seatruck: Am I a joke to you?

[west mountain]

Seatruck is the best. Seatruck and Fred. I like Fred, I am Fred.

[deep kettle]

Fred is definitely something in this game 😂

[west mountain]

I wished you could bring the Alterra crew back into the game.

Just imagin trucking along and then Fred crosses your path

[deep kettle]

Considering how many complaints there were already in the first draft of the game back in Early Access about it not being lonely enough.. I don't feel like having random Alterra crew hang out in the map would be great xD

[west mountain]

I mean after the official game play. Now just building bases and having nobody for company is getting lonely

Just imaging the alterrra crew coming for lunch in my restaurant

[deep kettle]

Alterra Restaurant Simulator 2023™️

😛

[lime grove]

imagine that becoming a game

[west mountain]

Like a exploring and base building strategy game

You build bases and explore territory and the crew will follow

I would love it

[tardy surge]

It serves mostly fish, but a very nice restaurant

[west mountain]

And Fruit salad

[west mountain]

.

[tardy surge]

eh, there's enough vegetarian options to diversify it

[west mountain]

Yes, a lot of variation possible

Only chicken is missing. I wished to cook penglings, like turkey. Just for thanksgiving 🙂

[tardy surge]

I don't think the devs will like that

[west mountain]

The prevented it. Penglins even survive in molten lava, so they are indistructable.

[tardy surge]

what the heck

[west mountain]

No animals were harmed in conducting this experiment

But I gave it a try and they swim through it without any damage at all.

100% fire-resistant feathers

So lets stick to fish and fruit salad.

Fruit salad is OP anyhow, no need for anything else.

[crude vapor]

Where should I look for those

[west mountain]

They are hanging down from the icebergs. The plant that grow under it.

[crude vapor]

Ohhh its those I thought they just froze you

[west mountain]

No, that are those

[crude vapor]

Ohh, also did they nerf the frost anemone cause its only says h2o +20

[west mountain]

No, I was just exaggerating, sorry

But +20 for a pickable item is not too bad.

[crude vapor]

True

[west mountain]

Fevered pepper also is amazing in terms of water

[west mountain]

And Frost anemone hearts do not spoil (I think 🙂 )

[crude vapor]

I swear I recognise that name

[west mountain]

The blue plant with the long pink fruits

C'mon

[crude vapor]

Oh ye those

[west mountain]

😄

[crude vapor]

Too many different plants

[crude vapor]

They do sadly

[west mountain]

Soooo many wrong predictions. Not my day today 😦

[crude vapor]

Oof

[vernal dock]

no spoilers to subnautica or subnautica below 0 but is subnautica 2 good?

[languid crystal]

I think it is! It has a few things the first one does not have

[vernal dock]

thanks!

[languid crystal]

You’re welcome!

[eternal garnet]

Below Zero is good. It is not SN2

[vernal dock]

noted thanks

[sly dagger]

where is margerit's base

thanks

[sleek timber]

I just spent 30 minutes looking for my ||quantum locker||

gave up, crafted another one...

...only to realise that the inventory is shared

I'm smart

[carmine bobcat]

I want to stomp on a peeper

[west mountain]

There you go

[sleek timber]

you were asking me about power generation from hot pools, right?

it works

barely found a place to build the thermal plant, but it works

generates power at about 1 every 2 seconds

[west mountain]

Great, well done! Totally underwhelming but hey, proof of concept. Yes, I was also thinking that it will not allow you to build close enough.

[west mountain]

And if this is delta station dock, then you have the most powerful hot vulcano just underneath the dock, 250° or more.

[proper wren]

I just started playing BZ, how different is the Seaglide compared to regular subnautica?

[hollow fern]

0 difference

[eternal garnet]

the seaglide was backported to SN, the map switch etc. So they are the same now

it's slow inside wrecks. intentional

[proper wren]

Alr so that means that my Human Vehicle Loadout should work in BZ ||(Rebreather, Ultra Tank, Seaglide, Swim Charge Fins, Air Bladder backups, Reinforced Dive Suit) ||unless any recieved any significant changes that are detrimental to the loadout.

I just need to grind for it

[naive crow]

It's slower, though I don't have any solid number for you right now

[next current]

Vehicles in BZ are slower to compensate for the smaller map.

[sleek timber]

are they actually?

I thought they're just different

[next current]

Yee. It's so that way you don't reach the end of the map in like a minute or two.

[sleek timber]

for example, the prawn doesn't get pulled as hard by the grapple hook, but its movement using thrusters feels much faster and more responsive (which I love)

and the truck has the afterburner, which definitely feels like it's faster than a seamoth if you boost all the time and have few modules

[next current]

It is faster. :)

[little haven]

Seatruck feels more like a compact || cyclops || and seamoth feels more like an easier to drive 0 module seatruck but with no boosters

I use the afterburner anyway since I don't use modules unless if I go mining or if I am gonna transfer mats to a base.

[pliant jetty]

I'm not sure what's possible, but I'm thinking about just banning certain things, like ||Al-an|| solar power, using the pod after getting the fabricator, vehicles.

The intention being to force interesting solutions.

[sleek timber]

what's the deal with this one spy penguin spot where there's literally just a single piece of gold in the cave?

[pliant jetty]

Nothing higher up?

[sleek timber]

this one

yup, it says that it contains just gold

[pliant jetty]

I guess they can't all be winners 😆

Ironic, because of the gold I mean

[next sparrow]

idk why people struggle with ice worm leviathans so much, just use your prawn suit with jett upgrade and just jump all the time trough the whole island

[west mountain]

Once you know how it works and how it behaves you can just walk right up to it and enjoy the show. On foot, snowfox, prawn, it does not make any difference. Just repair when damaged and use health kits when in need. No problem. But for a new player, its the thrill and the excitement that makes all the difference. So its ok that people struggle, that means they are very much into the game.

[west mountain]

its just a goody to discover. Just the idea of putting something on a remote and hard to reach iceberg is a great idea and gives you something to discover. Yes, I agree, something more interesting than gold would have been nice. I was also disappointed when I found it. I know have a base there, its litereally in front of my door now.

It spans over four different icebergs

[tacit thorn]

Does your restaurant take custom orders? I'd like cooked peeper with pepper. And marblemelon juice.

[sleek timber]

alright alright, I just finished that glacial basic dock base so I can flex too now

[west mountain]

Of coure, and we always have the catch of the day too

[west mountain]

Peeper with pepper and preston, the PPP menu. Why no french fries from chinese potato???

[tacit thorn]

Preston leaf I hope, my tongue is already going to be tingly after the pepper.

[west mountain]

A subnautice BZ cook book with all the menus

[midnight dust]

Guys I was going over towards phi robotics in my seatruck and my PDA told me something about a hollow iceberg what does it mean/do

[sleek timber]

ah, that's the one that's more fun than the cave with a single piece of gold

basically yeah - one of the icebergs is hollow, and there's good stuff inside

(bring a laser cutter)

[tacit thorn]

bring lazer cutter

[west mountain]

But I know only the one in the east arctic, is there another one in the west arctic too???

[midnight dust]

I read on Google it's near marguerite's base but idk if that is credible

[west mountain]

Yes, that's the one in east arctic (sorry, east of course)

[sleek timber]

they were heading towards phi robotics, so I assume it's the one near the glacial bay dock

[midnight dust]

Ah thanks and does it have an architect solar panel?

[west mountain]

Yes, thats west. So is there a hollow one there too???? I only know the one in east.

[sleek timber]

yup

right next to the gold piece cave

[west mountain]

Oopppsi, have to go and have a look

[pliant jetty]

I'm so infuriated that after finishing the game I looked behind ||the collapsed building on phi|| and found a huge magnetite cache.

[west mountain]

No, thats the satellite, also something to explore

[pliant jetty]

I spent like 14h desperate for magnetite

[west mountain]

Deep lilypad cave

[midnight dust]

Go below phi near eye jellies

[west mountain]

Yes, and there is more to explore there

[pliant jetty]

I'm good now, I have everything

But I was so close, I went back there!

[west mountain]

Have you explored glacial basin???

[pliant jetty]

I couldn't get the crate cache open

[pliant jetty]

I'm not 100% what that is

[eternal garnet]

there are no crate caches anymore

[pliant jetty]

In ||phi||? I can see them

[eternal garnet]

glacial basin starts where there's a dock with a radio mast

[tacit thorn]

phi base has one room that requires prawn gravity gun to unlock entry

[pliant jetty]

I tried that, didn't work

[west mountain]

Have you scanned the glacial basin map in phi robotics???

[eternal garnet]

oh that. You'd need a prop cannon. Nothing vital in there

[pliant jetty]

That one box just wouldn't move

[eternal garnet]

goodies tho. Power cell, etc

[tacit thorn]

need to move multiple boxes. I did it.

[pliant jetty]

Oh yeah, like I said, I've finished the game

[west mountain]

Sorry, ok, all good

[pliant jetty]

I'll revisit it maybe

[west mountain]

Can you hold the prop canon in your hand or only with prawn?

[pliant jetty]

Prop

[eternal garnet]

there's a hand version. Different

[pliant jetty]

Prawn

[west mountain]

in BZ???

[eternal garnet]

yeees

[west mountain]

Noooooo

Wow

[eternal garnet]

the repulsion is missing tho. I think avail. with a cheat

[broken badge]

Sea monkey nests

[west mountain]

I only have the one for the prawn, there is another version for handheld? Really????

[broken badge]

Yep

[lime grove]

the fragments are obtainable from sea monkey nests

[eternal garnet]

You aren't missing much

[broken badge]

Although for the wrecks, you can just use in wall vent passages to get around blocked segments

[west mountain]

Yes, I went inside phi with prawn via the ||teleporter|| because it does not fit the door

[tacit thorn]

of course it fits the door. jump and turn sideways

[west mountain]

Yes, I found that too, and I also found that you dont need a laser cutter for PPU

[west mountain]

All these sneeky tricks. I just used the BIIIIG door at the back 🙂

I suddenly have problems fitting my prawn through the door at Koppa mine

It always fitted absolutely perfect and now it does not fit anymore without struggle

I dont know what has changed since

[sleek timber]

finished exterior of my glacial basin dock base

[broken badge]

Huh, weird. The prawn was the intended method for going thru the front door to Koppa. But I still manage to squeeze my seatruck cabin thru there, although I’m sure to save first in case it gets stuck😅 I’m not interested in going the way you’re supposed to go via the cave roof of Koppa with the seatruck lol. Not when the front door is right there, just waiting for me lol😂

[tacit thorn]

Should fit. I drive my truck through there regulary

[west mountain]

As I said, prawn suddenly does not fit anymore. I am puzzled

[broken badge]

You usually have to do a bit of maneuvering to get the seatruck to fit thru the doors, but it works, still it’s not a bad idea to save first before going thru

[west mountain]

Have to squeez it through

I talk about the prawn

that used to go through without any problems, not it struggles.

maybe I got fatter

[broken badge]

Yeah that’s strange. I’ve occasionally taken the prawn in there to drill, but I haven’t played in awhile

Prawn got more thicc😆

[west mountain]

That's a huge base. You will need TONS of material to decorate it fully!!!!

[sleek timber]

second seatruck dock?

as if fitting one in there wasn't ridiculous enough

[sleek timber]

jokes on you, I just leave all my bases empty

[tacit thorn]

two is good, one for very long truck and one for cabin only explorations.

Also, I see someone adding a landing pad under moonpool for their prawn 👍

[sleek timber]

except this is in the basin dock - not much sea-based exploration here lol

[west mountain]

Thats a laboratory, all my rooms are like that

[tacit thorn]

whyyy so many cell chargers?

[west mountain]

I spend hours and hours decorating my bases and you leave them empty

[west mountain]

Just for decoration, it must look complicate

[tacit thorn]

Invite him to multiplayer session and go wild 🤣

[sleek timber]

not my scope - I'll just refer it to the interior design team

interior design? more like inferior design

[west mountain]

it takes 10x the amount of material to decorate a base than to build it

[west mountain]

let me handle that

[sleek timber]

don't you spawn stuff in?

so it hardly takes "material" to decorate a base

[west mountain]

Only for stuff for decoration, e.g. the pictures, posters and starship souvenir and glass/flasks

But not building materials

[sleek timber]

well I just don't have the patience for that

it's the same for me in minecraft

I build a super cool looking structure and leave it empty forever

[west mountain]

For me, that is where the fun begins, decorating bases 🙂

[sleek timber]

also, I like to keep all my bases somewhat functional, so I find it hard to find the motivation to create a room that's basically a pretend laboratory that serves no actual function

[pliant jetty]

Your prawn got fat

[pliant jetty]

I do like to make a bedroom nook though

[sleek timber]

so far this is the biggest non-functional base I've made, in normal SN

but even here there's a function of sorts - it's a storage facility for every single type of fish (that can be put in a containment)

[west mountain]

For me that is the real challenge, to make it look functional, even though it is not. By that standard, all you ever need is this base, that is fully functional:

[sleek timber]

this is my version of that

even has a functional bed haha

I also have this one

[carmine bobcat]

I am proud of myself for finding squidshark eggs

[carmine bobcat]

Im gonna try that

[west mountain]

that looks absolutely hillarious, excellent I have to try that too

[west mountain]

Excellent, did you also find the other eggs just on the other side of that cave

[carmine bobcat]

what did those have??

[broken badge]

This one isn’t from BZ, but this was my sort of artistic expression style base I tried making in Subnautica. I thought it looked cool at least from a design perspective

[carmine bobcat]

a very creative build

[west mountain]

These are the most wanted eggs in BZ the ||yellow trivalve||

[broken badge]

It wasn’t fully decorated

[broken badge]

Thanks!🙂

[carmine bobcat]

THATS the one I needed

crud

I missed those

[west mountain]

Go back

[sleek timber]

you can put hatches on the TOP of pieces????

WHAAAAT

[carmine bobcat]

ye

[west mountain]

That is very creative indeed. I see that I am way too conventional with my designs

[broken badge]

Sure, top, bottom, wherever

[sleek timber]

bruh 🤯

[west mountain]

And underneath too

[carmine bobcat]

for me I just stick one and thats it. Im simple

and to me thats a bad thing

[sleek timber]

I knew about underneath, but for some reason I never tried to do top

damn I'm having the same kind of mindblow moment as when I discovered you can put windows on the end of tubes

[west mountain]

See my mini base here too

[carmine bobcat]

Oh also I got ||glow whale and lily paddler||

[west mountain]

they are beautiful!!!

[carmine bobcat]

I got two of the ||glow whales so they could mate, same for the squidshark||

[sleek timber]

so a single I-shape segment can have 6 hatches attached

[west mountain]

On land it will look like a spider

[carmine bobcat]

I seriously need to go more creative in my base builds

[broken badge]

This was another “experiment” lol

[carmine bobcat]

I am wayyyyy too simple

[west mountain]

Writing letters and numbers with tubes, clever

Lets make the Hello World base

[carmine bobcat]

Also creative

love it

[broken badge]

I never really thought about it that way, but sure😂

It’s like the infinity symbol too

[sleek timber]

some letters are hard to do small scale tho

[carmine bobcat]

the power of art, so many interpretations can be found within

[sleek timber]

like, how do you do a "D" without it looking like an "O"?

[carmine bobcat]

how do you do an A?

[carmine bobcat]

true

P?

oh wait

[sleek timber]

that's easy

[carmine bobcat]

yea just realized that

Z?

[sleek timber]

lmao I was about to say

I have no idea

it will just look like a 2

[carmine bobcat]

lol

[sleek timber]

it's fine, Z is a useless letter anyway
*nervously looks at channel name*

[tacit thorn]

Did ion batteries always charged so fast? Its like 1% every 5 deconds

[carmine bobcat]

lol

[sleek timber]

subnautica below-0

[sleek timber]

they're definitely slower than normal batteries

[tacit thorn]

subnautica <0

Not possible to build a corridor tube directly below foundation, is it?

[sleek timber]

not directly - has to be one more layer down afaik

[tacit thorn]

yeah, so this doesn't work

[little haven]

Ah man I looted all of || mercury 2 || , got the || reinforced suit || finally and a load of titanium plus other stuff.

[visual veldt]

1. Can you build a base above shore on the ice?
2. Is it hard?

[carmine bobcat]

||reinforced suit||not worth it

||cold suit|| is actually so much better

[tacit thorn]

Totally worth it. especially when playing with big fish.

[carmine bobcat]

the first game it was worth it but not this

[tacit thorn]

I have devised a 4-stage plan for solving the void leviathan problem 🧠

[visual veldt]

Okay but does it work

[tacit thorn]

Don't know yet! 😂

You can always use the software developers method for solving this kind of stuff:
Five hours of building will save you one hour of planning.

[visual veldt]

Also does anyone know about building above water

[tacit thorn]

Its possible.
No structural penalties.
Solar panels work at 100%.
Water filtering works at 1/8 capacity and makes no salt.

[visual veldt]

Is it easier than it used to be? I wanna build somewhere on all the land near Phi Robotics

Also does anyone know where the pieces of the Snowfox are, I only have 2/3

[broken badge]

There’s one in ||maida’s base||, also one inside Phi robotics, and there should be one outside of Phi not too far from it. But there’s more further from Phi as well, you should be able to find another. Be sure you take some flares with you if you’re out walking around, they keep snow stalkers away

[runic gazelle]

subnautica is the best game ever to exist

[little haven]

Yeah but only if I'm not with h2o.

And I need to find that bp first.

I might build above water probably if it can indefinitely stack upwards unless if I gotta cheese it with platforming

Unless if I wanna move a couple hundred meters down towards a deeper area...

[tacit thorn]

vertical connectors cannot be buiolt from inside. so you need corridor and hatch (will have stairs when built on land)

[visual veldt]

I wouldn’t wanna build up

My thought was a 5 big room system

[tacit thorn]

The "bait room" above the basket, with all necessary amenities.

[visual veldt]

You’re gonna have to make a video on it

[tacit thorn]

if it works, sure

[tacit thorn]

managed to catch one.

Now the question is - will it despawn when I leave vicinity

[cunning finch]

Hey so question.
Is crystalline sulfer a deep down resource like the first game? Or is it somewhere in the starting area so i can make a repair tool?

[tacit thorn]

Good news: It stays caged when moving away 200+m
bad news: disappears on game reload.

[carmine bobcat]

its stupidly easy to get

its an above resource

have you been to the purple vents biome?

[cunning finch]

Not yet, and i don't wanna know. Tryna keep the wonder of this game longer than i did the first one, with maps and stuff.

[carmine bobcat]

ok

[cunning finch]

Play properly and all that lol

[carmine bobcat]

uhhh you know the deep caves below the kelp

you know the creepvine?

[tacit thorn]

you can get sulfur from crashfish nests. have fun getting blown up

[cunning finch]

dont wanna know ima leave now thanks for help

[carmine bobcat]

god darn thats what I was tryna go at

like I was trying to say that in the kelp forest caves there are crashfish nests that have the sulfur

sigh I was too late

[tacit thorn]

If mr. chaos is new to game, 99% chance he has no idea what the biomes are called.

[carmine bobcat]

probably

[cunning finch]

I've played through the first one, so what i have named the biomes i've found so far:

Safe shallows/starting point
Anywhere above water = niflheim
Coral things. Lots of coral things.

And also obviously the kelp forests.

[carmine bobcat]

Yea I meant to say the kelp forest

sorry about that

[uncut lantern]

is the crash fish egg rare?

[carmine bobcat]

no

[little haven]

So far I know: safe shallows, arctic, kelp forest, twisted bridges, purple vents, || deep purple vents, delta island, robotics lab, koopa mining site, and lilypads ||

I found 2 of those easily ngl.

[carmine bobcat]

||deep lilypads cave???||

[little haven]

Subnautica but there's a backpack suit that adds another page or X amount of slots for inventory.

[little haven]

|| I presumed caves to be related to biome name but eh. I dunno every one yet since need to explore first. ||

[carmine bobcat]

yea I know what you mean

just wait till you dive deeper

[little haven]

Yeah, I have L5 binded to F1 so I can see coords to not get lost and to know like where is what on the map

Yeah, I was considering on bringing a spare o2 tank but I easily managed the || mercury wreck with my ultra tank || and not even needing to use the o2 plants

[carmine bobcat]

havve rebreather?

[little haven]

Plus the fact that vehicles are o2 pitstops

Yeah I got rebreather asap after thinking back to og subnautica experience.

[carmine bobcat]

mmm hmmm rebreather is a must

so how far r u exactly

excuse my improper grammar

[little haven]

|| Robotics lab / Chasing down some girl pilot with a prawn sword thingy ||

Approx 500+ meters down so far.

[carmine bobcat]

decently far alright

wow decently far

wait have you been to the DLC?

[little haven]

Yeah for only a few days I got farther than I thought I would but I played subnautica 1 so experience from that carried over to below zero

Not yet I guess, idk about the dlc yet

[carmine bobcat]

when I say DLC I mean ||deep lilypads cave||

in case you didn't know

[little haven]

|| Not yet, I'm heading there bc in search of bps especially for better fins. I presume caves might have good stuff so yeah. ||

[carmine bobcat]

DLC doesn't have blueprints

[little haven]

Oof.

[carmine bobcat]

but it has good materials

VERY importante materials

[little haven]

|| If it has kyanite I am shooting there bc I need mk3 asap. ||

[carmine bobcat]

no thats somewhere else

[little haven]

Ah alright

Well I'll still check the place out anyway

[carmine bobcat]

its about 900 meters deep

the other place that has ||Kyanite||

[little haven]

Dang. Yeah I need an upgrade since tested in a creative save to see if you could still cheese the depth by repair spamming

[carmine bobcat]

lol

[little haven]

It was 5% per tick before but now it's 2% so the damage exceeds rip

[carmine bobcat]

the DLC has the material for benezene and the material for polyanline

no need to put spoiler tags because benezene and polyanaline were in the original game too

anyways'

the DLC also has ||Magnetite||

and ||Uraninite Crystals||

[little haven]

Yeah, I have those already but I'll still check it out.

|| Uranium is fun until I realize the maintenance needed for it. ||

[carmine bobcat]

I'm sure by now you have the ||alien||?

[little haven]

|| Yep I got al-an and the monkeys are being nice for once. ||

[carmine bobcat]

Has he talked about components?

[little haven]

|| And I experienced an acid trip from those siren looking leaf monsters ||

Yes he has, I have 1/3 so far for known bps

[carmine bobcat]

where did you get the first one?

[little haven]

|| Artifact X something at a peaceful yoga looking sanctuary having a big fountain in center and lots of plants on sides 500-600 ish meters down, it looked like a skeleton saying 10 on mohs scale ||

[carmine bobcat]

ohhhh so you have already like been to the DLC

[little haven]

Oh.

[carmine bobcat]

like BEEN

[little haven]

Didn't realize but good to know...

[carmine bobcat]

have u already talked to ||Marguerite||?

[little haven]

Not yet, but might visit asap.

Bc I need better fins and base anyway.

[carmine bobcat]

ooh better fins is actually in lilypads biome

just lettin ya know

but idk if you want to know the precise location cuz that might be spoilers

oh also ||the arctic biome where Phi Robotics is that has an Alan component,||

but the bridge needs to be fixed

its actually easy to fix it

[carmine bobcat]

again better fins is not with her but the biome you're in has it, and base part yes good base blueprints

[cunning finch]

Its official. This game has given me the best insult ever.

How would anyone even begin to recover from getting called shrub nut

[carmine bobcat]

lmaooo I didn't think about that

@little haven also her base has a really good blueprint its a ||snow vehicle fragment, you need three fragments and their found in the arctic biomes and also she has a seatruck upgrade||

[little haven]

Guesss I know where I'm officially headed to next.

[carmine bobcat]

also that fragment you don't need to worry about cuz it's not that important

it's just fun to have

she'll talk to you and make sure to scan the ||test override module||

that's gonna come in handy

[carmine bobcat]

Thx

[little haven]

Submautica but you can dress up penglings.

[little haven]

So I just made 5 || large rooms || and 20+ lockers at once and moving all the stuff from my starter base into a more cozy one.

And now working on the signs...

[true oar]

im stuck

wait! im free!

it seems that complaining is what it took to achieve freedom

[edgy shadow]

Nice prawn upgrades

[true oar]

you've never experienced true freedom until you've used a prawn suit with two grapple arms

[edgy shadow]

Exactly

But have you considered

Grapple and Drill?

Easy escape and high damage

[true oar]

i have a drill arm in the storage of the suit

have you ever tried using both grapples to ram into fish at full speed?

i find that it kills stuff significantly faster than a drill

[edgy shadow]

Depends on what fish

Gotta remember how to spoliers

[true oar]

|| on each side

[edgy shadow]

Thanks

[true oar]

i've been there, and ||those things literally do not have hitboxes, escape is the only option||

two grappling hooks is perfect for that

[edgy shadow]

Exactly theyre the only ||leviathan class to not be killed||

[true oar]

kinda lame, tbh

[edgy shadow]

Those things are what cause me to mainly play creative

[true oar]

||i get that they're supposed to be a huge threat but they're still living creatures. if you're a creature, you can be killed||

[edgy shadow]

They also ||Cant be scanned because of the reasons above||

[true oar]

i found that out the hard way

[edgy shadow]

||Ice Worm Carcass is the only way to scan them||

Tbh a kinda lame reason

[true oar]

unrelated but i feel like 500m isnt a long enough range for the scanner room

[edgy shadow]

I mean its long enough Early game but late game its kinda difficult to find any materials besides ||Koppa mines||
