Ima say it first, Deathtrap
But do as you will
don't forget to stay hydrated everyone
its only a deathtrap if you save after dying 
Big brain reasoning
y'know, im not sure which leviathan i find most terrifying
Both games or only BZ?
Sea dragons can be avoided by building a small piece of a habitat
i mean like, conceptually
Id say ice worms
reapers are just really big angry fish, but sea dragons can freakin spit LAVA at you
and they have arms
Sea dragons (With enough work) can be killed i think
i think they have something like 10k health?
Ice worms have inf health so conceptually id say ice worms
Treaders are barely a threat at all
i dont think treaders even deserve to be called leviathans
Well they're just barely cutting the mark of leviathan class organisms
But with that logic a cyclops would be considered a leviathan class vessel
yes, and no:
-leviathan class only applies to organisms, and vehicles tend to be much larger than organisms in terms of scale
-the cyclops in terms of power is on par with the average leviathan
the seamoth is bigger than 99% of life on earth
Is having 8 || water purifiers || too much to have?
Yes, in one base yes
Depends on your state
Need the best water per item slot and cured food from salt since not wanting to spend a lot of time trying to find them on the floor with quartz easily being a pseudo salt crystal
i suggest an alien containment unit for farming peepers
Also because why not because I built 5 || large rooms || vertically using a bit of platforming and magic
Yeah I'm getting the alien containment set up for peepers since I couldn't find anything that beats 32 in below zero
do ||large rooms|| even need to be put in spoiler?
Idk but it feels mid to end game for me so I'm just playing it safe
No need. it is not story relevant
Oh okay, only story got it.
You dont write that
Guess I'll probably find a copper mine to get more signs and water filters so brb.
I also have a lot of water purification stations because they make a good base decoration, so all fine
They can be placed up against walls whereas the containments are only center so eh
I have solar for power since not wanting to do any manual work tbh.
Drillable copper ore is all along the world border, east and west arctic, tree spires, koppa mine and of course ||crystal cavern||
Good to know...
And also a lot in arctic spires
||Crystal Caverns|| pose more of a threat for the explanation of ||Shadow leviathans||
Yes, if you want to exploit all the resources you have to kill them first, otherwise a big hassle
Kill or hide from
Kill, not place to hide π
In the smaller crevices of the ||Caverns?||
There is only gold and kyanite and silver, no use to go there for exploiting resources. You need the ones from the main cave. But yes, they dont follow you there
Hide yourself down there to avoid it
Again, if you want to get all the resources there is no point in hiding, you have to drill
Also id like to proudly say, i now have ||AL-AN||
Oh, excellent
Very, now im dreading going to the ||Spires||
Tree spires???
||Arctic||
Wonderful, enjoy the show
||Ice Worms|| gunna have me like
Yes, they will be there
Which is why im dreading going there
No need to worry, just enjoy the show, repair often and move on
Ill get that ||Cache|| Second
There is sooooo much to find and discover in arctic spires, take your time and explore well
Ill probably get in, then get out
the lights in my seabase keep flickering for no discernable reason
That sounds concerning
How much power do you have?
I have a video tutorial that brings you in and out and still gets you all the goodies in the area
Hostile fauna nearby that could be causing that?
Alright
it seems like it might be a rendering issue?
Perhaps
i went outside and looked into the windows
the top bit of my tall alien containment unit is flickering but not anything else
I dont think, it happens when there is a lot of load in the system. What is drawing power? How is it when everything is charged and done (like water filtration machine)
Ah ok, so not a general power issue in your base then
certainly not
That is low, what is drawing so much power or do you only have solar and it is night now)
The reason i built a bed early game
i have a nuclear reactor with 4 rods and my bioreactor still has plenty of goop in it
no solar
my prawn suit and docked seatruck are both fully charged, and i have one water purifier
scanner room is inactive
Then it makes absolutely no sense at all. Why you are down to 87% what caused your system to drain so much power????
i recently returned from a trip and my prawn suit was missing some power, and the scanner room was on
i do believe so
i feel like i should use the truck more but i dont actually go across the map all that much
maybe i should make a few extra storage modules....
I suggest the truck because you can build storage and fabrication modules
rn it has max upgrades, 2 storage, 1 sleeper, and a docking module
are aquarium modules worthwhile?
Just displays fish put in them
Just for the looks
Mainly decor purposes
the description says that it collects specimens
You can collect fish and put them in there
Yes it catches fishes and penglins
Basically the aquarium but mobile
hmmmmmm
i'll give it a go
||what about the teleporter module? i havent made one but it doesn't actually sound all that useful||
In the end you want to try every module
Yes, no real use for it and consumes ion cubes like hell
Well from my tests in creative ||It teleports between two of those modules||
it consumes them?
The ||Tether tool||
its single use?
Really never seen that happen. It only brings you back to the module not teleport between them
Three time
yeah that sounds garbage
But if you recylce the ion cube before it runs out you can save it but its just not worth it at all
Not worth the Ion cubes
i'd rather make way too many ion batteries
Yeah thats a better use than the ||Tether tool||
i think it'd be pretty cool if there was an ion cube weapon
stick a cube in a torpedo arm and turn it into samus' blaster or something
If i knew how to code id probably do that
i encourage you to learn how to code so that you can create content mods for below zero
Ive already tried learning python, its pretty easy
But ive only tried using it to code a disc bot
Id also need to learn how to model so
Anyways if ya need me just @ me
accidentally killed myself with a rock
You charging ion batteries or cells? Maybe in a vehicle?
Huh? I'm answering about the flickering lights
Sorry, my bad, sorry.
Np π«‘
I think it might be the game suggesting that the ion batteries are drawing too much power
The real danger in subnautica is humanity, specifically yourself, with the prop
Prawn suit prop just to avoid the concussion?
that thing eats crazy amounts of power, not worth
I've not been too worried about power draw? But my prawn is ion
And thermal charging
i use my propulsion cannon a lot
Evidently π
even though it only uses a couple power per use, that still adds up quickly
Are you mostly putting predator fish into a new area code?
sometimes i launch a bunch of prey fish at predator fish to kill em
takes half a dozen but its funny
Ah the "eat this" technique
I just drill them and they either get the message or die
recently i've found that the fastest way to kill stuff is to use 2 grapples and launch yourself at the creature
the windup of their attacks tends to be longer than the time it takes for you to slam into them with high velocity
So I'm looking for caves that can host the sea truck dock ideally almost completely concealed.
what region?
I just want a cave I can plant some mixed photoflorescent plants in
See, apart from one oversized bit over to the entrance of the caverns
They are not really caverns
It's more like a cistern or something
Now, if that added sea truck to base game I'd have places to deploy this
I'll probably just cruise around in creative and look for nooks
All I really need is space for one modular room
Hop on the magic school bus!
Yes, that is not my regular configuration, just wanted to see all modules attached π
is there even a limit to how many module can be attached
Usually I go with sleeper-storage-storage-fabricator-docking-prawn
No, you can go across the map.
So I can theortically build a bridge using modules
Correct, as long as you can go, actually, you can go into the void with that π. Just keep the seatruck cabin on the world border and have aquariums sticking into the void as far as you want π
Hello
Hi
what is the best place to find || nickel ore|| ?
Deep lilypad cave and also some in lilypad crevices, later also in ||crystal cavern||
thank you
Is BZ worth playing through? I have it but I found it lacking compared to SN.
its rich in story
I played it back in 2021 and I found it lacking in interesting areas and reasons to go to other areas, has that changed?
wasnt it in EA in 2021?
very end of 2021 to beginning of 2022.
well it came out of EA and has full story now
Alright, are their more interesting places added?
i guess so
I found their wasn't much reason to leave the safe shallows other than some resources by an island.
Before May 14th, yeah.
To me the storys pretty straight fowars withs its goal, which can both be a good and a bad thing
yes
basically the only reason ppl dont like bz as much is map size and leviathans
stasis rifle made all threats a joke
so its only map size then
You don't need to use the stasis rifle
Indeed challenge runs where you don't use things remain a way to keep the game fresh
The map might be smaller but the biomes are sooo much richer and more elaborate. Everything is just stunningly beautiful!!!
I have found that it lacks in places that are interesting and that you want to keep going back to but that was a while ago, updates have probably given more to do.
I did a few hours in creative, just looking for an inspiring location for a base. Only the ||barren ice plain to the north east|| and the ||North Eastern void wall|| really "sparked joy"
It was nice to have a reason to actually use the snow fox on the|| plains ||
Even the|| jump upgrade|| was other than a novelty
That might be highly subjectiv. For me it offers everything I am looking for. I could sit in my lilypad base and watch the glow whales all day long π
plus eggs in the areas
I go back to the areas for eggs
plus seeing all the other guys too
otherwise the predators
||out of curiousity, is it possible to COMPLETELY avoid getting infected if you are careful enough?||
there is no ||infection||
???
wrong game.
not in bz
oh sorry, wrong chat.
and in subnautica sure if you dont wanna beat the game
oh yea how do you find the ||gold trivalve starting from the cave that has the squidshark eggs||?
or from the beginning of the DLC
Go back up to the upper deep cave. Cross to the other side, like 180 degrees. I don't remember compass direction. Go down there, into a small dead end cave, look under a loop plant
The cave is almost like behind a spikey trap
oki doki
what do y'all prefer below zero or the first one I cant choose cuz they're both ones I prefer
sn
first one, but only because it has a bigger map and i prefer 'silent protagonists'
BZ, it runs better, it has the Seatruck, and while it was cool to be isolated in the first game, I still enjoy ||Al-An's company||. Also this game has the ||Recyclotron||.
laser cutter, but you might need to get to the other side first.
so HOW do I get to the other side?
the entrance is in the arctic spires
||-1126, 156||
ok thanks
fortunately I'm too stupid to know how to use coordinates in SN, so it's not much of a spoiler for me

press f1
Stay in the pod π
ah, got it
It's so weird how that is a thing you technically only need to do once
you mean laser-cutting an ice door?
Yeah, I know there are other optional ones
And you need to laser cut to get the ||processing unit ||
man this isn't helping, I still can't get to it
But like, that's optional
you sure the 156 isn't negative?
You crossed the bridge right?
yup
there's three ways to go - the left ravine, right ravine, and the small cave on the right side
Quite sure.
arctic spires is a bit of a maze
oooooh
that's just the ||portal|| cave
I've had that thing unlocked for a while now
ah
riiiiiight, just found the tunnel
yea
the whole tunnel or just the ice sheet?
||the elevator||
ah
Because of reasons
is ||outpost zero|| one of the first places you're meant to visit as far as story progression goes?
no it should be ||delta station||
right, makes sense
I think ||outpost zero|| might be the last place???
either that or the second place
honestly I think the facilities are a your choice for story progression
thats what I think
To the developers!!!
Good day, I recently purchased your product on Steam, but now I can't play it. The pirated version worked, but after buying a license and installing it from steam I can't run it, please consider my problem!!!π‘
@stiff valley First of all no need to cross post that into random channels. What exactly doesn't work though? Have you tried going through #π§sn1-bz-tech-support for example.
@stiff valley No need to DM me for this. Would prefer to keep the discussion in here. It's not a channel to write in, there are some guides in there to go through is what I meant.
are you just... admitting to pirating?
Did you just snitch on yourself lol.
for me below zero works perefctly after buying on steam
I play it on xbox
so I can't say much
i play on ps4
how does that go?
Pirates who purchase a legitimate copy of the game aren't admonished for doing so, you guys can put down your pitchforks.
im just sayin
So am I.
lol hilarious at the end of the sentence
love it
one of my friends totaly didnt pirate a lot of games-
He still pirated it before paying...
Anyways.
And? This isn't your place to judge so please drop it.
pirating not good here
I manually deleted it. Please move on from this topic.
Confused moderator noises
I wasn't judging I just found it funny that he snitched on himself lol.
nvm
π€
lmao

idk what to put for flora in my AC
a plant
(alien containment) not Air conditioning
just a heads up
can u put a flowering spore in the planter?
No, but you can put in some Young Cotton Anemone.
Same.
Is there any flora you can get from the lilypads biome?
Plantable ones? Yeah. Spotted Dockleaf and the Antenna Plant.
This base looks alright so far
fish
All right I was thinking about going into the crystal cave area and I was just wondering if that area is like a sea dragon dangerous or a reaper dangerous
More like...crab snake dangerous
Nothing in BZ is nearly as dangerous as anything in the original subnautica in my opinion
Yeah even that big scary || red shark guy || only did 30 dmg tops without armor when I thought he would legit insta kill from how that animation looked
Yeah thats why i think most people prefer the original
I liked the og subnautica for difficulty, but I like below zero for the cute penglings and other things.
Theres also less risk in BZ, theres only danger where you look for it (ex: deep caves) But in the original you can just be swimming aroung in relatively shallow areas, and if you go a bit too far be instantly gobbled up
Therefore theres that aspect of fear that adds to the experience too
Yeah I find that BZ's creatures and biomes (even if there isnt many) are generally more beautiful
Alright, got the || satellite disabled now, time to head back and hope I don't get mauled by the wolf or bear looking thing. ||
Might also grab a lost pengling for company ig as well
||you should start heading to her greenhouse||
I usually convince my friends, as first time players, to play BZ first before OG, depending on their skill level. Or, at least partially to dip their toes in. I don't want them getting decently far with the story whatsoever but it's at least an introduction
Yeah, I'm going there rn. || She said 1 km east of where I was so yeah. ||
|| be careful of the glow whales. When I went, they threw my seatruck up on the ice on the surface. ||
after that and the whole ||growing food and stuff|| you should look for the next ||body part||
Yeah but BZ is much less fun (in my opinion) then the original. I worry that new people might get bored of BZ and never end up playing the original
That's why I use it as an introductory / get your toes wet experience
It's useful for that because of the lack of immediate threats. Then I bring them into regular subnautica and watch the chaos unfold.
||oh yea did you get better fins when you went to the lillypads biome||
sorry replied to the wrong thing, did you get ||swim charge fins||?
cuz ngl the lilypads biome has a lot of things that are worth getting
materials wise and equipment wise
Not yet.
its in the lilypads biome
Mkay.
Is there anything useful in the crystal caves bec Iβm in it right now and canβt stop get chewed up by the weird blue belly things
nah, it's basically an empty area for decoration
ahh the big dark boys
nothing of interest in there whatsoever
Troll?
wait crystal caves???
Ya why
it has the endgame material
Kynite
mmm hmmm
But is that it just kynite?
I see
so it's not an empty area for decor
it also has a bunch of deposits and p suit fragments
Ok so there is nothing of use right now
I got those
well whats your objective rn in the CC
well the useful thing would be the ||alien body part||
plus the ||fabricator caverns||
I donβt have the beacon for that right now so ya
Ya but I think I only have one of the body parts so I will have to come back
is there a good way to lower this game's cpu usage?
it's using around 60%, steam is using around 15-20%, and discord is taking up what's left
i will never forgive them for adding this in below zero..actually i've already contacted my lawyers, and i'll see unknown worlds in court.
i am trying to find the 2nd fragment to the seatruck horsepower upgrade and can not find it
u need to put || in the end and beginning of the message
||pipes||
||neat||
||finding the 3 pieces of the paralell processing unit in the mercury wrecks. Are there more than 2 explorable wrecks, by the way?||
yes, 3 total
I think the ||purple vents|| ones are easiest for getting the ||ppu|| blueprint
||so 1 in the purple vents, one in the lilipad islands, and?.. I've already found 1 piece btw, in the lilypad islands wreck i think||
||two in the purple vents: one near the east arctic (smallest one, contains one ppu fragment (might need a laser cutter)), and one next to delta island.||
thanks a lot π
btw, any other al-an fans here?
Al-an visits chat sometimes
The worst part is thay they also spawn outside of caves
alright we're going back in for the ||gold trivalve egg||
we got two of them
now we just need the blue ones
what is Outpost Zero coords?
||-72, 301||
how is it awful?
hang on
this is so clamped
how do you tame the glow whales when their hatched
the whales are always friendly. do you mean squidsharks?
apparently you can ride glow whales
I can't interact with it
Im just watching it move around
am I doing something wrong?
wait does it have to be in like super open water?
approach it from above, pat the head, get a ride.
you can't ride the young ones in aquarium silly. only big ones in the sea
my bad
also, that kelp is not going to grow to full size, unless you add another aquarium above (need to be perfectly stacked)
eh
Hello I wanted to ask about Below zero
So uh I used commands in my survival save and I was wondering will that disabled my achievements
yes
And this there a way for me to enable it again?
don't think so. maybe with some sort of save editing shenanigans if you're on pc.
PC: if you just install Qmodloader, it will enable achievements again
Thx
So when I was glitching to fall down to the crystals I just thought of an idea
a base below the map
How is that helpful (usable)
Meaning if itβs inside terrain, unless I misunderstood
Hey so question
Is either the twisty bridges or the kelp forest good for gold?
If they both suck for it please avoid mentioning any areas other than those two. I wanna explore the game myself, but i also dont wanna waste my time lol
I just wanna know if i should keep looking or if i should swim around some more
I think you can find some in twisty bridges, but your best bet is probably thermal spires, just south of twisty. Mind the overgrown sea horses, though.
Respectfully, i said avoid mentioning other areas
You're lucky though cause i think i've been to the place you're talking about. So thanks.
If I build a base in the ||crystal caverns|| will it stand or fall to ||attacks of the shadow leviathan||
the base should be safe from it
what kind of special goo covers the habitats to not be disrupted by any creature what so ever
its actually flex tape
Plotdevicium
Kelp forest has calaverite outcrops in certain areas ||caves with monkey nests|| spoiled the more elaborate kelp area since you said you prefer to explore on your own...
how much of a spoiler do you really get from other area names just being mentioned? 
they're not even referenced in-game by those names anyway
there's only one such area. literally named spoiler caves
Just what kinda area to expect.
Like if you said kelp forest, then obviously its the green place.
If you said crystal zone or something, i'd guess there's a crystal cave somewhere. Nothing big, i know. I just wanna explore the game 100% for myself.
i need help finding the ||alien distress call origin||. it feels like im in the right place cause its right below me but i dont see and entrance
but yeah some help would be much appreciated for this expedition
Is 2 lockers of condensed titanium too much?
Follow the || flashing green beacon things located on the floor and listen for the SOS signal, it leads to a sort of caveish area at around 100+ meters deep ||
i did that and found the ||alien drill|| thus how i got that beacon
wait theres an ||alien|| in there
|| If not then the beacon is pointing to around them, you need to head deeper and find a cave entrance sort of thing with the beacon and follow the sound / light leading up to it ||
|| The distress call || is just like a general area, the || beacons are what you need to follow that lead up to the story ||
is it lower than 300+ meeters cause my seatruck is only capable of 300m and has like 50% charge
good cause the most i can free dive at my current gear state without oxygen plants is around 150 meeters past seatruck maximum crush depth
ty for the help man
np, good luck
Idk I was thinking it could be a nifty idea to make a base inside the terrain and for usefulness, it could be helpful to like building a ladder that goes all the way down to certain areas instead of moving back and forth between caverns
Oh man, I found || omega labs || by accident. Got a nice upgrade to bps at least.
Hmm, idk if itβll work, but if youβve got the time, you could try and find out
Yeah, creative would be nice for something like that, or even custom mode with stuff unlocked and no building cost. That way, if it glitches you under terrain going one way and you canβt get back out, you havenβt wasted a huge amount of time and resources
Guess where my ladders go π
A cave?
π Deep twisty and deep purple
Nice
oo noice
I think theyβre going to build in solid rock, unless Iβm mistaken
Less sure how thatβll work
Ladders just kind of βteleportβ you in a manner of sorts
Thank goodness too, I wouldnβt want to have long sections of vertical connectors with ladders actually animated lolπ
39 vertical tubes π
The bz leviathans look goofy as hell
I think the BZ leviathans look very good
But naturally everyone has their own preferences and opinions
Because you are already used to them from the first game. New players find it scary as hell.
i only dislike the shadow and the worm ones. they are pretty but unrealistic as heck
I played bz first
Excellent!!!
π
Euerika!
I think the shadow suits its environment of the ||crystal cavern|| very well. And the ice worm is just iconic! I first saw this video of the guy making dioramas with the ice worm and the snowfox that made me wanted to play the game. So I am absolutely in favour of both of them π https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM1wdwN9ELc

this is stupid
A wormhole? A portal? A gate to another dimension????
where's the recipe for the base attached air pump
aint it supposed to be in this section
I think people have brought this up before, Iβm not sure there is one in BZ
I think thereβs just a floating air pump
No need for a base air pump. Powering your base is sufficiant for everything.
Yeah but Iβm saying, I think there is a floating one in fabricator under deployables
Some people like using pipes @west mountain
there are a bunch of sea monkeys in the area. when they bring you an item and you dont take it from them, they drop it on the ground
pipes would allow me to afk outside my base 
Actually you can freeze to death in BZ if you donβt keep moving around underwater
Well, above ground too, but that part is more obviousπ
i could put an object on my keyboard so that i constantly swim downwards onto a foundation
and by "a bunch" of sea monkeys i mean like
15-20 of them
It was worth the effort to find 2 more quartz for an aquarium so that the pengling wouldn't cry in the alien containment.
And if you gather 2 more quartz just pick up 20 more π. You always need quartz
penglings can be put in aquariums?
Yes, also seamonkey babies
why cant nootfish be put in aquariums?!
Because, resaons π
i think it would be cool if you could stick a knife on a pipe and make the singular best form of melee weapon: a spear
or just be able to whack things with a pipe on its own
by the way, a single seatruck storage module can fit 6 large creatures (3x3) and will have 18 slots left over
do with this information what you will
||can trivalves reproduce?||
no(
also, a prawn suit with 2 storage upgrades can carry 4 large creatures
the player's inventory can fit 4
in terms of 3x2 creatures:
seatruck storage module can fit 9
prawn suit with 0 storage can fit 3, prawn suit with 2 storage upgrades can fit 6
a player's inventory can fit 6
this is such an art
Amazing!!! He has more dioramas of BZ and SN also. And many other excellent pieces.
gonna check them now

seatruck horsepower upgrades dont stack and i honestly feel like they should
whoa this one
at least add an engine module
They should allow you to add a horsepower upgrade for each module that you attach. Maybe even put the upgrade in the module directly.
And the prawn in the docking module could also help to push the seatruck-train forward.
i do a moderate amount of trolling
Invasive species!!!
did you lure them there
as impressive as it would be to push sixteen eye jellies from their native area to the lilypad caves, that's not what i did
Btw, I gave ||Maida|| company
How did you do it
i wish there were more ways to interact with ||marguerit|| outside of the story
i bred them in captivity
oooh I forgot you can just place them lol
Yes, she just stares at her PDA, I wished she would come over for coffee. And the rest of the Alterra crew also.
at least a "so you're back again, huh?" would be nice
Or that you find her with the prawn suit at some random placed doing something. But there she is sitting in her chair
I wish we could get really cool specs just like her prawn
Decorating the seatruck like her prawn π
like each fish gives a item that can bee added to make your prawn stronger
or being able to call her for a favor and having her be a bodyguard for a bit
Like fighter planes with shark mouth and so π. And each killed fish gives you a mark on the cabbin
shadows look goofy tbh
peeper prawn suit
Spinefish prawn suit would just make you invisible to everyone except scavengers
spinefish aren't invisible, they're transparent
Oh.
things would still see a mass of plasteel heading towards them, it'd just be obscured by a layer of dead flesh
if you used squidshark, chelicerate, and shadow parts though, i think things would run from you
can anyone help me? I'm not done with the game yet but i wonder if there is a hidden achievement. If not please don't spoil the others.
guys you can still unlock achievements in below zero even if you cheated, restarting the game should work
Probably not
you're like the guy who sits next to someone on the bus despite all other seats being empty
Hey, I did not build on her glass dome, right? She still can enjoy some outside view π
"didn't I tell you to stay away?" - marguerite
Did not listen to that π
apparently π
yall got nothing on the classic "dont touch me" and then you poke them at random intervals for maximum irritiation
These are the most annoying creatures to ever be in a subnatica game
Lily paddlers are worse imo
With prawn yes with seatruck no, no problem with seatruck
seatruck pd go brrr
Zzzaaaaappppp!!!!!
hey, i have a problem with starting the game, i click play and then the game closes
If you are on steam, go in game properties, betas, and pick branch "Legacy"
omg it work
office type cpu?
yes, pentium Gold for example. Doesn't have some multimedia / game instructions
never heard of any cpus referred to as "office type"
i have intel pentium its very old
pentium gold is still sold. For office use. It's really cheap
If I have the money, this will be my first card and CPU purchase
what are you getting?
U canβt
Iβve tried
a restart doesn't work, no. But if you install Qmodloader (PC), it will reset the cheat flag.
dinn a tellya ta' stae awae
Have you built the ||snowfox||?
You get an achievement upon riding it for the 1st time I think
I only found half of the blueprint! Where can I scan more?
I used it to ||run over a snow stalker that was getting in my nerves. Then I felt guilty upon killing it||
so should afterburner
you can do the same in a prawn suit.
the prawn suit can do everything the snowfox can but better
and more
Also apparently ||snow worms can't track you on a snowfox (are they called chelicerates in english?)||
Ah ok thanks
||chelicerates are the oversized shrimps in the water. I think they're just called ice worms in english.||
and no, they can still track you iirc.
Oh how I miss the ||stasis rifle||
Marguerit's outside view: you, happily waving from the window
there's stasis rifle were do i get it
only in the original
Yep π¦ that's why I said I miss it
Never had it, never missed it.
Only way to get the stasis rifle in BZ is with commands
But it doesnt even render in correctly
Theres no texture for it and when you hold it, its not even held correctly
Probably to keep the download size small I guess.
Iβve noticed that the render distance for my base is absolutely horrendous (fades in/out 70 meters away with only 1 multipurpose room). Wasnβt an issue in the base game. Anyone else experiencing this?
Hi Everyone!! I am having a few problems on subnautica below zero. My game crashed while I was saving. And I lost about 3 hours of work. I lost my scans of the parallel processing unit and my scans for the prawn suit. But when i returned to the mercury 2 to rescan the parallel processing unit but when I went to scan them they were gone! And when I go to craft it i cant craft it. I am really unhappy right now i cant progress the story. π¦ :(. Is there anywhere else they spawn or can anyone help. Please DM me if you know anything#
There are 6 fragments.
There's also enough prawn frags elsewhere
Are they all in the mercury 2?
DM? no thanks. Are you on PC? which store
Yes, but it has three wrecks.
Oh ok thanks
Worst case you can regenerate parts of the map, but you could just find the three others.
Ok thanks!
Right. on PC, we can help you reset the map where mercury is. If necessary
Probably your graphics settings
I read it wrong.
I have never had the problem so I don't know the fully correct explanation
Think so? Well above recommend specs and wasnβt an issue in the base game. Game runs smoothly at 144 fps
Base game also doesn't have as much things to load in immediately considering the vast size of each biome
Do you guys know where the other fragments are other than the three in the main mercury 2? Becuase all of the tutorials online are only the mercury 2
sorry, view distance is like optimized for weak consoles
it affects chunk loading and thus performance
What do you call the "main"? The bow?
Any way to change this on pc?
this is an Ignis question. You can turn fog off by pressing F3, F8, click water volume
But that's pretty drastic
yeesh pc is complicated isn't it
is it? No, just more possibilities
but a lot to do to achieve those possibilities
Can I post screenshot here to show what I mean?
yes
yes pretty normal. I usually play with fog off. You see the unloaded chunks, but I get used to it
Alright, thanks for the info!
I don't know about you guys, but that's not how far my render distance goes.
That looks a lot better than it is for me
What are your graphics settings? (Make sure to check this in the main menu and not from within a save).
Max on everything
π€
Itβs weird, everything runs smoothly, biomes also load properly, no pop in issues, just the things I build
I have rows of lockers, alien containments with 40+ fish, 8 water purifiers, and a bunch of other stuff, but no lag- so thinking atm.
To me that render distance feels like as if it's stuck to medium. If I change mine to medium that's when I roughly get your render distance.
Make sure the detail option in on high.
This option isn't the preset.
And it's only displayed on the main menu when you aren't in the game already.
Iβll double check when I get home
it is on high, when I swim 70m away base just dissapears
for comparison
ok so its been a long time since i played BZ
what happens when you activate the vegetarian diet
what are you able to eat
bladder fish for water. Blue mushrooms in the starting area. Any fruit
oki
soon, youll grow food
i can make the day night cycle some what realistic lol
When 1 second irl is 1 minute in game.
wait but it says players cannot eat animals for nourishment
you can craft water from them. not eat
Bladderfish can be used for emergency o2.
oh?
The air bladder tool is now quite good
oh ok
Wait wait wait... Doesn't bladderfish say non-vegeterian in the tooltip...?
wow this game is defs different since i played it last
i just beat the main subnautica last night
for the second time
last time i beat it was like a year ago or something
The core is the same mostly for items but some different stuff and cute baby animals
yis baby animallss
Now if only we can get baby || snow stalkers || tbh.
You have to make a bottle of water in the fabricator out of it.
how do you make water with the vegetarian thing
well ya in the base game im trying the vegetarian mode cause its new
From edible plants. The two best for early game is Frost Anemone and Shrub Nuts.
oh ok thank you<3
Alternatively, you can go to the Phi Robotics Center and get the recipe for Water Purification Tablets. Or just get water bottles from the Alterra Tech Sites.
hint hint ingredient for water purification tablets is in the Phi Robotics area
and the area around it
ya true
The game definitely gets significantly harder with vegetarian diet and no organic oxygen sources.
so where are the shrub nuts
The closest ones are on the Delta Island. Frost Anemones are in the Sparse Arctic.
Why no funny grapple arm launch in bz π
ah ok
Idk why but I have a locker full of titanium ingots.
Compaction is great.
smart
in case you need plasteel
or you need to build stuff that require T ingots
Now add two pieces of lithium to each, and then two pieces of enameld glass and you have the maximum you can store in one locker: 15 items in one slot
Pretty much
After I got the eggs I wanted in BZ Im getting tempted to do another playthrough
Mkay, got the || bridge extended, time to see more of the cold place i guess ||
||body part is here||
Have fun and enjoy the show
Thanks.
Beat the system build a base to get to the other side
Unpopular opinion, this game needs fireworks.
I agree
one thing that would be cool for me at least is that we got to see the dead bodies of the alterra facilities people
We got flares we need fireworks
If it's not a feature yet tame || snow stalkers. ||
why cant we craft fireworks from flares
that needs to be a thing
Bc ya know || marguerite || has one lol
Crashfish cannon when
Because UWE never likes my ideas.
No bad! Violence is bad!
yea and we can have a buddy to chase after the enemies on the cold ground
It's kinda funny that the lil guy uses the || alien tablet || like a chew toy or teether
needs something to keep him busy at least
It would only be useable against bigger creatures such as leviathans but it would stun em
something like the statis rifle?
don't do it on glow whales
their considered leviathan class
Kinda but its more like a flashbang
a more flashy version of the stasis rifle
achieving combat in subnautica?
imagine subnautica just added thermoblade combos
exactly
blender
free fish puree
Your imagination is wild. And I'm kinda for it.
Well technically couldnt we use the laser cutter as a weapon as well
Capture the flag or last man standing?
last man standing
Since its a literal laser thats cuts through thick titanium or plasteel metal
Just pop it out and go play laser tag against a leviathan
burn the face of an enemy
Why can't we use the Laser Cutter as a Laser Pointer.
have the laser cutter have multiple uses
You can sorta on || snow stalkers ||
Why cant we use the headlamp with the rebreather
utility and combat
To make them not aggro 100%
Bad design decision π¦
I was kinda panicking and tried to use a flare but accidentally used laser and so accidentally discovered that
Bc the entry said bright lights
ion laser cutter, achieve longer range laser cutting
Because the Headlamp's strap does not stretch around Rebreather.
c'mon, that would be simple to extend
I'm surprised there isn't an ion tank that has infinite o2 but I presume that would take away from subnautica's gimmick of being a literal time bomb when exploring complex areas
I mean like why couldnt they make it a thing you can equip onto the rebreather
Alterra does not sell longer straps.
a mounted headlamp on the rebreather
Fun thing I have 3 fabricators to fast craft.
Alterra already makes too much money
They make an integrated HUD display but cannot afford longer straps
I might get more if I use pc instead of steam deck
definitely
Yup. It costs too much
At least you dont get a bill at the end
indeed, unlike the other oneπ
Yes from the tactics of government contracts, deception, blackmail, etc etc

and apparently getting diamond and magnetite too
<_<
omg
what would happen if the game had it where you had to pay the amount needed
like what would happen if they actually added a money system
imagine how chaotic that would be
Bro alterra best compensate me for having to deal with that crap
Well, at least the game provides you with plentyof gold, silver and diamonds. So probabely enough to pay the bill.
true
Aint no way id go back to alterra after escaping death incarnate if they demand payment for the materials I used for survival
Like nah please take me to the next galaxy over
I'd take the seaglide and just start grinding them
bai
Subnautica, but when you pick up plants or first aid it plays the herb sfx from resident evil 4.
Actually no, as Alterra views that they own all material you collect, so picking things up just increases your debt...
like I said I'll just take the seaglide and just start grinding them
They dont know about ||crystal cavern||
I actually have always wondered if the CC is just the cooled down crystallized LZ
cuz if my knowledge of igneous rocks is correct
after the time that has passed and 4546B turned into a frozen tundra
then the LZ should have cooled down and turned into the CC
thats why you have all those large crystals and have ||Kyanite and Kyanite deposits||
purple and red crystals I forgot to say
good thing my knowledge on Igneous rocks stuck with me
Genuinely surprised subnautica doesn't have soups or hot chocolate for cold resistance or cold immunity.
you'd think so because in winter people drink coffee and hot cocoa
and soup too
Since capsasin is an irritant to mammals, feeding the || snow stalker || a fevered pepper should make it cry or thrash around or try to seek the nearest source of water to drink
is capsasin something that involves spicyness?
Yes, it is responsible for that.
We're into the thing that tricks our bodies into becoming hot and having portable land oxygen for those snow explorations.
lol
Oh my god... the || spy pengling || talks...
Also logically you'd be able to crouch or crawl through, but eh.
I love it when the spy pengling talks
But In the first game you can already see area zero when you escape right?
Yes. It's been only 2 years, and there's no reason to assume the planet got colder
Itβs not been frozen itβs just a different part of the planet
I guess that puts my wonder at "it is wrong"
The first subnautica we were located in the summer vacation area of the planet while in below zero we in antarctica fr fr
lol
eh I always wondered if the CC was just the cooled down crystallized version of the LZ
guess I was wrong
There is thermos (coffee)...
"Ah the sweet scent of dirty bean water"
Ah god, I almost froze to death while getting the || tissue samples and narrowly dodging the big worm thingys ||
Thank god for the peppers I picked and the salads I had...
thats the one place I resent going to
I better hope I'm on the edge close to water or I'm probably screwed
Only have 1 salad left...
no its not far from the spires back to the bay
thats the hardest piece to get in the game imo
now you just have one more to go
Okay peppers... I am saved.
honestly what you could do is get ||Kyanite||
to make MK3
to dive deeper into the CC
cuz im pretty sure thats all you have to do now
I think
Mkay so there goes trying to get || the fur from the snow stalker since the worm just gulped him up rip. ||
I might get that stuff once I get the || cold suit || bc not wanting to turn into a popsicle
LOL
I was legit on 1/100 temperature and screen was as white as a ghost before I made it into the safe zone
the way I got fur is when I look for a snow stalker's den
den as in where you see it's children
Okay finally out of that mess
Almost froze to death before getting in a cave leading back to entrance
You need the cold suit
Prawn or snowfox (or salads/peppers) take away the need for cold suit...
Yeah I did it WITHOUT the cold suit rip.
If it wasn't for the peppers I would of been a living popsicle.
But luckily I got 8 fur just now so I should be fine to craft whatever's needed
You only need 4 fur for the whole suit though
I just took my prawn suit
Oh mkay
Guess I'll keep the other 4 to sell make a blanket if that comes later lol.
the only thing you can use snow stalker fur for is the cold suit
You can throw it at something. And with water purification tablets you can make water
Snowball fights, y'all!
How do i get fur
I need it for cold suit
And other stuff
You need a little friend to grab it for you from a snow stalker
What do i do
I need ti head to delta station currently but theres a blizzard and i cant see a thing
Ok blizzard passef but now theres fog
uhh....
...
my screen is stuck like this and I don't have the save or unstuck options
ok, fixed it
lmfao
I cant progress in this game because of the STUPID BLIZZARDS
basically the save option came up after a minute, so I saved (unstuck still not available)), quit the game and reloaded
Theres supposed ti be a clearly visible signal tower, but there is constant blizzards and fog, so i guess iβll go searching
snowsuit when
what like? trying to find delta island?
I dont care about the temperature, i cant see anything
Yes just go south
Yes
So stab it to death?
lmao this nerd got himself stuck in this narrow tunnel 
I have no compass
Make one
Let me check if i can
Sweet itβs in base crafting
Ok now i go out for two seconds ti find respurces and i get the beacon?
bwahahaha you have been caught in my trap
Excellent. Important to not take away the beacons. Scan it and craft your own ones.
wait that is the ||crystal castle||
right???
what did you find when you went deeper?
it's the tunnel leading to the place where you get the ||organs recipe||
ohhhh that is the ||crystal castle||
okay
I call it that cuz it reminds me of the ||lava castle||
ok, MASSIVE SPOILER
but I have an issue
I did the thing, and I clicked ||initiate transfer||, but now it's stuck like this and nothing is happening
already tried saving and reloading the game
I took the beacon away and also died because ||marguerit|| isnt at the spot the pda said dhe was
I would put the delta beacon back. Its uaeful for the game
What spot are you looking for
βPilot, last known positionβ ||even though anyone whoβs listened to the degasi voicelogs will recognize margueritβs voice||
Also i lost the silver i needed for smth
Well its the last known position. You have to search her. Going down might be the right choice
When do i get habitat builderrrrrr its the only thing that i want
Its at delta station
WHERE
Ok
markus, you seem pretty experienced with BZ - any idea how to fix my issue?
The seatruck?
Help me what is stuck. You in the seatruck?
smh my foot
this
Prbably this
@eternal garnet can you help?
stuck how? can't interact with it?
yup
simple. Save+ reload
I mouse over it and the name label comes up and that's it
tried saving and reloading, tried closing the game and reloading
A tip, for more fun post-game, save for the LAST time right now
even tried dying
it did
I clicked it and nothing happened
is there a way to rollback a save?
to a previous save state or something?
no

yeah
go in CellsCache folder. Find baked-batch-cells-20-grp0.zip
Rename this file. Add -NOT or such. Load
yes
then slot000x
yes
what does this mean?
it'll be in your recycle bin so that's ok
in SavedGames, there's a slot000x folder per save
the first is slot0000
first as in created first
oh you're just telling me where to find the cells thing
got it
ok well I loaded the game and it's still the same
no interaction
is there more than one save? The zip files should have todays date on them
wait...
you first said to delete it 
and now you say to rename it?
well yes, I deleted it and reloaded the game
