below-zero-chat

[clever crow]

i got a ball camera. now i can shrimp watch

also look at my cool house

[sleek timber]

Damn, I somehow managed to spend hours exploring and building a base in glacial dock, and never found the jukebox disk there

[clever crow]

why are they following me?

[short garden]

u gave them feesh

[frosty aspen]

maybe I'm dumb, but I don't know what salt does in this expansion.

or how to make disinfected water

[short garden]

pretty sure u cant make disinfected water in bz

[clever crow]

salt is for acid and purified water

[frosty aspen]

what is the other component of purified water?

[clever crow]

you need to go to phi robotics and find water purification tablets to unlock the recipe

[clever crow]

1 frost vase

[frosty aspen]

oh... I haven't been there

ok.. not like the base game then

[clever crow]

then you'll need a snowball

where am i?

not where i'm supposed to be.

mountain is fake!!!!

so. i didn't fly there or build a ladder - i just got there naturally

void: beach episode

[short garden]

how the frick did u get there

[clever crow]

i was jumping on ice near kelp forest and climbed somewhere

[frosty aspen]

the PDA listings for the outcroppings don't contain pictures 😦

and argentite and galena look almost identical

[clever crow]

i fell down somewhere. at least i have a save.

void bois don't spawn

[frosty aspen]

LOL... this expansion was rushed.. wasn't it? The vehicle upgrade console is totally unneeded, unless you wanted to change the color of your prawn or something...

how do you build the seatruck expansions? I have a few of them, but don't know how to make them

[clever crow]

on vehicle floating thing

[frosty aspen]

OH.. mobile vehicle bay... wait... that's weird

like.. do they just float around until you attach to it or something?

[clever crow]

or u mean upgrades? on any fabricator

[frosty aspen]

ya, I got the upgrades... (also learning that the vehicle upgrade console is useless, as it's part of the fabricator now)

ya, I don't understand how you "attach" the components to the seatruck

I just built one.. (thanks), but I don't know how you put this thing together. 😦

OH, thanks internet... you "pilot" the module by holding on the the handle bars...

and when it's close enough it just attaches..

[midnight swan]

Where do you get the blueprint for the air freshener? I don’t really need it because i’m just starting a subnautica hardcore world but i’d like to know if i ever want to do another run of bz.

[steel stream]

Rebreather? Alterra tech site in twisty bridges (maybe crane near sanctuary zero entrance)

[viral knot]

where can I make sea truck modules? Because now i have just the cockpit

[west mountain]

You have to scan the fragments to get blueprints and build them with the mobile vehicle bay

[viral knot]

ahhh so i need to find them

[dull belfry]

I just finished ||fabricating al an’s body at the fabrication base ||but it thinks my prawn suit is in water so I can’t exit it and I’ve reloaded the game and tried the grappling hook but I can’t get through the door

Any suggestions?

[steel stream]

Prawn suit is not supposed to get in the fabricator base

[bold monolith]

You shouldn't try to force it either as you may be stuck inside afterward if you succeed.

[dull belfry]

Well it let me in idk why but it won’t let me out

I don’t have my sea truck or anything and it’s too far to just swim for the surface

Actually wait I have my teleportation tether

But I don’t want to leave my prawn behind🙁

[bold monolith]

You should get the upgrades and use it, I can't help people on console.

[dull belfry]

Ok I’m just gonna take my upgrades and tp out ill have to make a new prawn

[bold monolith]

Or just reload without saving.

Before you went there.

[frosty aspen]

Oh, I'm not equipped to explore Phi yet... I don't have any way of defending myself (except a knife)! I guess there's more to do before coming back here...

[clever crow]

i'm still stuck in the void behind the mountain((

there's a 90 degrees tall wall and i fell from it in the ocean

void chelicirates don't spawn and i don't hear the ambience

I turned south finally

Wall is icy now and void ambience started playing (or maybe it’s because I was hanging in the water idk)

I got the dead zone message for the first time in this save.

[bold monolith]

On the east it is safer.

[clever crow]

man, I just wanted to steal some crates from emergency cache.

I’m already quite far

[bold monolith]

The reason it's safer in the east is because you're in the biome that I don't recall the name that is basically a void without being in the void.

So leviathans don't spawn.

[clever crow]

Will they spawn if I’m not underwater most of the time?

I’m hanging with grapple arm

[bold monolith]

As long as your biome says "water void" they will yes.

[clever crow]

tundra void

Still technically

[bold monolith]

That's the name.

[clever crow]

I fell

I just wanted water(

Also I heard a roar tho it wasn’t water void. And I swam to 1100m and no one ate me. Weird.

[lofty inlet]

I just lost a 30 hour save file because the propulsion cannon sent a rock flying back at me at 100m/s

I really am heartbroken

[clever crow]

cool river. now i get why that place has invisible walls

[mint pike]

Is it possible to get an abandoned base back online again? Its in the ||Green area||

[clever crow]

No(

Would be cool tho.

[mint pike]

That's unfortunate it's a perfect spot

Thanks for the fast response

[clever crow]

You can build on top of that rock

Lol, all the coolest locations are already taken.

[mint pike]

I shall do just that 🙂

[frosty aspen]

I really need to find the other parts of the fabricator module for the seatruck.. only found 1

[clever crow]

They are scattered in deep twisty bridges

[tacit comet]

Darkish Red/Blue/Purple biome beneath the normal Twisty Bridges.

[mint pike]

My god there's an acid trip fish... I've played 5 hours and there's so much weird

[clever crow]

when i finish my house, i will go to void again

[tacit comet]

Lol

[frosty aspen]

ya... it's gonna be a scavenger hunt...

[tacit comet]

They’re actually quite common in that area, there’s just a scary boi or two.

[clever crow]

the only fish that makes me mad enough to murder it

[tacit comet]

But it turns your seatruck a variety of sickening colors!

What’s not to hate?

[clever crow]

i be building my house or collecting lead, then bam - bad fish attacks me and blocks my controls

[tacit comet]

Lol

[frosty aspen]

Lol... all the seaglide fragments you could possibly want

[tacit comet]

A whole family… how tragic

[clever crow]

i'm not the kind of person that searches for things like this, but i find them today

[tacit comet]

Can’t you make that yourself as well?

Like, build a room, install ourdoor growbed afterwards, then plant?

I assume that’s what you did, since those are creepvines in Tree Spires.

[clever crow]

yeah. but these grew though floor from half deconstructed tank

normally it blocks them at 50% growth but i left it not fully constucted and they grew through

[tacit comet]

Does it need to be partially deconstructed to grow through the floor?

Ok.

Can you pick up seed clusters/cut samples from them? Like, inside of your base?

That would be funny.

[clever crow]

no they were in containment on the first floor so there was no, hatch and no access

probably could cut samples, but i didn't try

[timid horizon]

Do we have any news on the next game that’s placed in the Subnautica universe?

[tacit comet]

Yes, there’s a lot of discussion about that. It’s confirmed, but details are a little sparse.

[timid horizon]

Were is the discussion at?

[tacit comet]

I don’t know a ton or want to share incorrect info, but I’m sure some mods or other members could tell you.

Honestly, not sure there’s a dedicated channel.

[timid horizon]

Do we have a name for the game?

[next current]

No.

All we know about the game is that it's being made in Unreal Engine 5 and will have water.

[tacit comet]

Good to know we won’t die of thirst.

[timid horizon]

Have water?

[next current]

Obraxis is very wise.

[timid horizon]

wait will PlayStation get the new game

Or will it be pc only

[next current]

It'll very likely be on Playstation.

Not sure about the Early Access process, but definitely for the full release.

[timid horizon]

Do we know how long they have been working on it?

[next current]

No clue but they have been working on it.

[deep kettle]

I mean.. For all we know they are still prototyping things and just building / figuring out their core technology. A part of the team had never used Unreal much I believe along with that they would like to not have to worry about performance as much again I would imagine. You can say what you want but Subnautica is absolutely not known for it's render distance / performance in a good way 😅

[timid horizon]

Wait how big is the dev team for the new game

[deep kettle]

We don't know the exact team size I believe. Their website doesn't seem to be up to date and they hired new people as well.

Some of the people that worked on Subnautica have since also left UWE. So hard to say honestly.

[timid horizon]

I’ll give it 4 months before the first footage comes out

[deep kettle]

It took them an entire year for Below Zero early access to come out after the original was finished. They have pretty recently still been working on the current games. I think 4 months is definitely optimistic, but who knows 😛

[tacit comet]

Lol, honestly, I’d wait forever for another Subnautica, amazing game/games! (Sooner just means less anticipation and suffering)

[clever crow]

why do sea monkeys bring me quartz and copper? i have 2 pinned recipes: foundation and nuclear trashcan

[sleek timber]

Sea monkeys know that, deep inside, all you really want is windows and picture frames

[clever crow]

i'm going to steal a snow child

[mighty island]

if i beat the game, can i replay in the same save?

[clever crow]

what

[west mountain]

Yes, you can always go back to your last save.

[clever crow]

what to do with these pink things? i stole them but i don't know what to do next

[next current]

They're Aromatherapy Lamps. They're smell good. 🙂

At least I think. I don't know how Aroma they are.

[tacit comet]

I don’t believe Sea Monkeys care about your pinned recipes. I think they either have a randomly generated loot table or take a resource found nearby.

[next current]

They do.

[next current]

They give materials that go to making pinned recipes.

[tacit comet]

Tbh, with over 17,000 scents, I doubt all of them smell good.

[tacit comet]

It’s cold outside, he’d like to be let in.

[next current]

I sure do love the scents of Concrete Town, Glass Window, and Molten Earth.

[clever crow]

i would let them in but moonpools are protected by impenetrable barrier

[next current]

Lol.

[tacit comet]

My favorite scent is week-old-repair-tool-fried-waterlogged-reaper-fat.

Really induces your gag reflex.

[next current]

Oh yeah. That's a pretty good one.

[dense musk]

I really like the new scent Kharra-Infected-Frozen-Leviathan

[clever crow]

am i a bad guy?

[next current]

0_o

They're like my dog. They do not like to be picked up.

[full compass]

Yo I got Ignis' save transfer tool from MSStore to steam, anyone know how to use it? I'm a little confused by the documentation lmao

[frosty aspen]

anyone know where spiral plants (needed for synthetic fibers) can be found?

[clever crow]

ventgardens or deep purple vents

[frosty aspen]

what do they look like? I'm wondering if I just have been passing them and not realizing it

[frosty aspen]

oh, definitely haven't seen that yet...

[tacit comet]

I’m concerned if you haven’t discovered the answer to that question yourself yet.

[frosty aspen]

is it possible to get a prawn inside the koppa mines?

[tacit comet]

Yup

[lime grove]

yes

[tacit comet]

Should be able to walk though the doors

[frosty aspen]

ah, looks tight, but I guess it's not that tight

[tacit comet]

Getting a seatruck through is harder.

[frosty aspen]

ya, I think that's the design of it

[tacit comet]

Prawn can go through easily, you’re good

[clever crow]

snow babies sit on the both sides of the compartment and sleep. i have a snoozing stereo

[tacit comet]

I understood up to the word babies.

[clever crow]

they make a snoring sound

[tacit comet]

How did you get them not to move?

Do they not walk off foundations?

Or swim away?

[clever crow]

they do but they are stuck. they want to pathfind back to phi robotics or whatever, but their ai can't go around an object

also you can pick them up with prawn prop arm, but regular prop canon doesn't work on them

[dusky shuttle]

hello

Is it normal for Subnautica Below Zero, that I don't have a "New blueprint acquired" sound?

Also the "New PDA log" sound

[latent aurora]

I don't think so, I haven't played in a while

[frosty aspen]

... how do you get snow stalker fur? I just killed one... but.. can't skin it? some parts of the game are frustrating because they don't mimic real life

[safe sun]

Pingu bot

[fresh yacht]

my lord shadow leviathans are aggressive and they go far

[frosty aspen]

Ya, just realized I could look that up

[safe sun]

It's okay, social interaction is always encouraged 😁

[fresh yacht]

can swim charge fins keep the seaglide going even with the light and map on

[dull belfry]

Yeah

[fresh yacht]

sick

[fresh yacht]

is there a way to get rid of creepvines

can i just keep cutting them

and theyll disappear

[storm imp]

yes

eventually

[violet mantle]

Unless you saved past the pnr, presumably.

[fresh yacht]

i wish windows merged in large rooms

like if you had multiple next to eachother they would become one big one

[ocean merlin]

is the spotlight in below zero? I really wanna build some in my base

[jolly basin]

You on PC? Can use console to unlock it
And can use QModManager to make sure you don’t disable achievements after using console

[ocean merlin]

got a link to QModManager?

[jolly basin]

Nope, but it’s the #1 downloaded mod in all of below zero and subnautica because it’s required to load any mods so shouldn’t be hard to find

[west mountain]

No you cannot save beyond that point

[pliant jetty]

Sadly, not even the drill

[unkempt scroll]

You get it via pengin spy.

[topaz gate]

Hi

[frosty aspen]

How do you get at the upgrade access panel of the seatruck when its docked?

[steel stream]

Docked in seatruck dock, the upgrade access panel is unavailable (or some say that it can be reached somehow)

[sleek timber]

lol I saw the little pixels and thought it was some hidden QR code

[sleek timber]

do I understand correctly that the only ways to get into the ||iceberg trivalve egg cave|| are to parkour with prawn or build an elaborate base staircase?

[languid tiger]

Its a little cave you can get there without prawn

[bold monolith]

I tested without jump upgrade, it works as well.

He should have placed a blue and a yellow.

[cinder bear]

Subnautica below zero is 50% off on ps store so im asking if its worth it

[clever crow]

yes imo. you heard common points of criticism, if that doesn't bother you, then buy it.

[next current]

Aww... look at all the babies!

[latent mantle]

Bioreactor now

[next current]

No. Hush.

[cyan sentinel]

So I just started playing BZ again, any idea for a good early game base ?

[storm imp]

right next to the drop pod or around ||delta island||

[cyan sentinel]

yeah cause shallows seem a bit light in silver and gold

and I'm gonna need some

[clever crow]

snow children are still there after reloading the save

can't stop taking pic of them

[fast tangle]

Can we fly in creative mode? I went creative mode today for the first time in subnautica, had fun, but couldn't able to fly. Is it possible?

[sleek timber]

man, I need that

where do you find so many?

or is it enough to breed two sea monkeys from eggs in a containment and they will keep spawning babies?

[clever crow]

ye.

[sleek timber]

oh, ok that makes things easier

I don't think there's even that many sea monkey eggs in the whole map

[next current]

Just use the fly command.

[deep kettle]

Is that an actual command?

There's freecam and ghost though.

[next current]

Yeah. When you're standing on land, you can just press and hold the space bar to fly and have a vocal spasm.

[deep kettle]

Nice 🙂

[weak gazelle]

why cant i place a control room on a foundation?

[next current]

Because it just isn't possible.

[weak gazelle]

does it have any reason?

[next current]

I mean... it would probably clip into the foundation.

[weak gazelle]

ok, thank you

[fast tangle]

Okay, let me try that.

[clever crow]

i wish i could place those in my moonpool(

also this tree is officially a monkey tree

[fast tangle]

Seems like you are Terraforming the biome. Cool

Did the sea monkeys stay there or leave the biome

[worldly holly]

we had an update every 3 months, wonder what will happen now it has been 3 months if anything, a new game, or what

[broken badge]

Both games, Subnautica and BZ, are finished.
There are no more planned updates

[worldly holly]

so now we wait for da new game

was wishing the game would be more open source to mods

[broken badge]

They’re working on completing Moonbreaker
We have no idea when the next Subnautica game will be done, years probably

[worldly holly]

moonbreaker?

[broken badge]

Yeah it’s a different sort of game
I’m sure you can look it up

Not related to Subnautica

[worldly holly]

ohh that trash game

now I remember it

was hoping vr support for below zero

oooo found a randomizer mod

[dense musk]

how does a subnautica randomizer work

[clever crow]

animals hatched in aquariums swim around the place u release them

and this dude was abducted

both dudes are safe

[worldly holly]

Remove automod >:c

[worldly holly]

where did u build this

[clever crow]

above my house in tree spires

[clever crow]

real drill arm is bigger than fragment drill arm

[top 10 usless sn facts]

[frosty aspen]

so, because you can't access the seatruck upgrades access hatch when it's docked, does that essentially mean you need to be above whatever it's default crush depth is in order to upgrade it (cause you have to remove the old upgrade first)?

or I suppose make a second depth module, and then switch it out, and it will only take a little damage

[bold monolith]

It doesn't instantly explode when you'll pick up the upgrade.

[frosty aspen]

of course, but it's not like I can take it out, and go back into my base, make the upgrade and put it back... I mean maybe I could...

ugh.. what an oversight. 😦

I just found the || purple crystal cave at 500m with a leviathan guarding the area || oh man... wondering if this is like the Lost River from the first game, and I should put a base here... || that leviathan is huge! ||

The Vent Gardens are magnificently huge. I Love it

[eternal garnet]

it's not really, the biome is very simple

[frosty aspen]

sorry, could you expand on this statement? "it's not really" - what are you referring to here?

[eternal garnet]

it's not huge, doesn't have lots of locations. But some

[frosty aspen]

the || purple crystal caves underneath the Vent Gardens || ?

[eternal garnet]

yes. This is the source of some dissapointment: people thinking this is the new lost river. it's not

[frosty aspen]

the real question I have is whether or not to build a base deeper than my current one, which is at 93m down right by the island. Don't spoil it, but is there something like the Lost River that makes building a deeper base worth while?

[eternal garnet]

it's not wrong. Not required either

[steel stream]

One option is to build a standard moonpool, detach the modules, dock seatruck cabin in moonpool and then upgrade the depth module...

[eternal garnet]

it takes about 30s for the cabin to destroy., You have time to craft a new module

[steel stream]

True, especially if you build modification station close to base entrance. Just noting one option (maybe not a good one, but still one option)

[eternal garnet]

new players: Save Often. 4 times/h is good

[frosty aspen]

They kind of went easy mode with some of the survival things... like 5 ways to get water and food and warmth... feels a bit OP when you are well prepared...

[eternal garnet]

and Freedom! Love that

[cyan sentinel]

friends, I need some early magnetite but I can't go very deep, any ideas ?

[eternal garnet]

inside hollow icebergs (laser cutter), in pengling caves (on land, east)

[cyan sentinel]

okay, I don't have all the fragments for the laser cutter yet so I'll just have to make my way east I guess

[eternal garnet]

there are a few behind Phi base, inside the cave, in the wall

If you pin a magnetite item, sea monkeys in lilypads may give you some

[clever crow]

they can give it anywhere, pin more recipes with magnetite

[steel stream]

Pin for example scanner room hud chip and nothing else: then the only pinned material they can bring is magnetite and they bring either that or some of the usual random stuff

[eternal garnet]

yes, likely 50% random stuff like quartz

[clever crow]

I pinned 2 recipes that only have lead and titanium, they still bring quartz and copper sometimes.

[eternal garnet]

yes, 50% basic, 50% from pinned. We think

and some items are only given in deeper biomes

[frosty aspen]

tons of magnetite found on land and in the icebergs

haven't found any really anywhere else..

[eternal garnet]

they are also in most deep biomes

[frosty aspen]

haven't found a reason to build a base deeper than 90m SE of the main island. 😦 last game I built a base at 400m in the grand reef, and 2 more in the lost river.

[clever crow]

How does mob pathfinding work? I stole 2 stalker babies from glacial basin, when I put them in my base - they tried to swim directly back. There were objects on their path and they stoped them completely. After reloading the save stalker babies don’t go to glacial basin but just stay in any place I put them.

[frosty aspen]

you stole stalker babies!! 😂

[eternal garnet]

Ai is very very primitive here

[clever crow]

But why don’t they try to escape anymore?

What makes the game go ‘we aren’t doing that anymore’?

[cyan sentinel]

okay I'll try that thanks

You can't make water with salt like in base game ?

[clever crow]

There’s a different mechanic that gives you even more water. You can craft water purification tablets with 1 frost vase plant and 1 salt, mix it with a snowball and you get big water bottles.
But to unlock the recipe you need to search crates at phi robotics.

[cyan sentinel]

okay roger

shame though, water through bleach was a nice idea

[eternal garnet]

yes, drink the bleach

[clever crow]

Bleach2

Sorry. Bleach1.5

[cyan sentinel]

I meant water through water purification with bleach

[tacit thorn]

use monopole to do truck maintenance, duh

[tacit thorn]

is there a way to farm snowballs underwater though?

[mint pike]

Hi guys, can you clear something up for me... The first game seemed scary and often dark. There was stuff to pick up or scan everywhere... Below Zero seems weird... There's not much in the way of wreckage, scannables and other stuff... The pacing seems much different.

I dunno maybe it's me, thoughts?

I've played ten hours of this game. The first game over fifty hours.

[tacit thorn]

below zero is smaller.

[mint pike]

Is it taller?

[clever crow]

Go grab some from the iceberg.

[sleek timber]

No, otherwise it would be OP

So for your endgame water needs, underwater you have water filtration machines, and above water you have the purification tablets

[clever crow]

Duh, it’s a different game with different plot. But have you found mercury wreck?

[mint pike]

I went past the purple vents and down a slope and found a wreck. I just need to go back to it need a laser cutter.

I found a shipwreck there

[clever crow]

And yeah, this game doesn’t require you to use any flashlight ever because of how lit everything is. Not scary, true.

[mint pike]

Another part of the map I found a giant iceberg that I need a laser for aswell.

[tacit thorn]

It is a bit contradictory. Underwater you make water bottle and salt, where salt has no 'regular' use, but you make plenty water.
On surface, filter machine makes water slower and no salt, you have snowballs, but no salt to purify water.

[sleek timber]

In BZ instead of the many large wrecks you have Mercury, and the many small and large Alterra outposts/caches. I think it's pretty balanced

[clever crow]

There are more pieces of it. (Big ship.)

[sleek timber]

True, so you have to stock up a bit to satisfy surface water needs.

Or just use the less efficient plants

[frosty aspen]

monopole?

you mean moonpool ?

[tacit thorn]

shhh, thats an anti-ai encoding!

[hexed maple]

did you know you can spawn fabricator crystals, Purple crystals and smokers

well not smokers i forgot what they are called

[tacit thorn]

with cheat codes you can do whatever

[hexed maple]

yup

even spawn untextered Warpers, both Sea emperor Juveniles and Babies

[tacit thorn]

can these be put inside base or monopole resets interactions?

[clever crow]

moonpools in bz are blocked

i haven't been able to pull anything through

and the character doesn't have enough momentum to jump out of water without a glider

[frosty aspen]

can you dock a seatruck in a moonpool?

[tacit thorn]

only cabin

[clever crow]

yes, but not the modules

[frosty aspen]

oh, nice, I didn't know! well that solves the problem with access to the upgrades access panel

Below Zero feels like it was really rushed

I continue to see oversights, and a lack of balancing too

[clever crow]

in terms of crafting? i think i agree.

[frosty aspen]

like they got a bunch of feedback about things that are "hard" in the original, and decided to "fix all those things"

resulting in making the game too easy

like... putting vehicle upgrades in the fabricator, but then leaving the vehicle upgrade station as a buildable...

like... that change is totally unnecessary

[clever crow]

tbh, when i watched sn on yt, i also thought the crafting is complex, but it plays pretty intuitively

[frosty aspen]

the water filtration system is almost completely useless, given how easy it is to make the water tablets and gather snow...

[clever crow]

i sit deep underwater tho

[frosty aspen]

I suppose it does have a use when you are deep under the water, but the game overall feels like it's not "subnautica"

as like 1/2 the game or more is played above water

feels weird ¯_(ツ)_/¯

the salad thing... omg, seems overpowered

[clever crow]

this is not deep

[clever crow]

you unlocked salad ending

[frosty aspen]

by.. following the storyline? that's not that much of a stretch

[clever crow]

salad helps me build stuff more efficiently and keeps my inventory clean

[frosty aspen]

I do really want a Subnautica 3, but I wish the devs to not dilute the game

the name says it all. "Subnautica" == Under water

[clever crow]

bruh i missed the salad storyline (and sam's story's ending) because the goattaur wouldn't shush up

[frosty aspen]

lol

I haven't finished the game...

so don't spoil anything

but... yes... salad...

[clever crow]

just 1st playthrough things

[frosty aspen]

they could have just made inventory space larger

[clever crow]

op

[frosty aspen]

|| quantum locker is an annoying way to do that ||

but totally not unheard of... Satisfactory does this, and it's welcome

[clever crow]

only gives 4 extra slots

or how much? i forgor, i don't use it

[frosty aspen]

not sure. It's not that useful...

[tacit thorn]

16 slots for price of 4. You can put a quantum locker inside quantum locker tho

[clever crow]

but aren't they like enderchests?

i think they are

[tacit thorn]

did not play minecraft, so don't know what you refer to

[carmine bobcat]

shadow leviathans are scarier than reapers when they want to be, and Im tired of pretending they are not

[tacit thorn]

they are not immortal tho

[carmine bobcat]

neither are reapers

also quick fun fact: I got a mod that allowed snowfox to drive on water, and while chelicerates wandered about doing nothing the shadow leviathan actually noticed me (scared the crap outta me too, cuz I thought all ocean leviathans were programmed to not care about snowfox)

[tacit thorn]

you mean the centipede? they don't occur anywhere nearby surface to see you

[clever crow]

shadow saw you biking on the surface?

[carmine bobcat]

okay to clarify I spawned the shadow in the kelp forest, it would be ridiculous if it came all the way up just to attack me

[tacit thorn]

the moment you start messing with clockwork, somethings bound to go wrong

[carmine bobcat]

clockwork?

[clever crow]

• orange.

[tacit thorn]

you know, software, The Game.

the moment you pry the covers off using mods or cheats, all bets are off.

we usually try to design things in such a way that they don't explode in users face. But users are very creative 🤣

[carmine bobcat]

ohh gotcha

[carmine bobcat]

btw, heres a screenshot of my reaction

[worldly condor]

Not rlly

Well they are until u realize they only do 30 damage to prawn and less with seatruck perimeter defense lol

[carmine bobcat]

they only do 30 damage to prawn?

thats disappointingly low

[worldly condor]

Exactly

[worldly condor]

And they barely attack often, just gives u plenty of time to repair it tho

[carmine bobcat]

well to be fair to past me, I did say when they want to be. we all know that bz doesnt get the consistency of scary that subnautica had, but if the game truly wanted to be scary it could

[worldly condor]

Ig in a way

[frosty aspen]

The blue ice in the artic zones || (where the worm lives) ||, are those meaningful in some way?

untrue...

[tacit thorn]

some can be moved with grapple arm to reveal ore. most are just decor

[broken badge]

The blue ice rivers, you can’t get attacked by ice worm when you’re on those (not sure if that’s what you meant)

[frosty aspen]

oh, there's also a || ice wall || it's the same color...

[carmine bobcat]

I some how clipped through a ice berg

[little haven]

Is 16 water purifiers enough?

[west mountain]

16 in one base=too many, if you have 16 bases with 1 each=OK

[little haven]

Yeah it's the one with five large rooms stacked.

But okay

[west mountain]

I assume you have a very good reason for those 16 water purifiers

[sleek timber]

an enderchest in minecraft, much like the quantum locker in subnautica, is a way to store your items away safely without risk of losing them if you die

so yes, you can use a quantum locker to have more storage space, but if you craft another locker, it will have the same contents as any other locker previously crafted

[unkempt scroll]

I use quantum locker as portable storage. It takes only 4 slots and gives you much more than that.

[eager sapphire]

where exactly is the ||mercury ship in the lilipad island?||

[eternal garnet]

bottom left / south west end of the biome, about 300m down

[eager sapphire]

Thanks

[sleek timber]

there's 3 parts to it

[soft raptor]

what is the utility of reinforced diving suit ?

[eternal garnet]

half damage on creature bite, Not vital really

[sleek timber]

useful, imho

[eternal garnet]

since there's no hot biome

[sleek timber]

but there's less hot thermal damage from vents, right?

it's useful in that one place with deep vents and tons of ores

[unkempt scroll]

What? No. There is only 2.

[eternal garnet]

the third is small though. East end of purple vents, high up

[unkempt scroll]

Its not in lilypad islands though.

[sleek timber]

@unkempt scroll
1 = Thruster
2 = Stern
3 = Bow

the crossed out one is a small debris field with seatruck parts that's not related to Mercury

[next current]

Looks accurate to me.

[junior plinth]

Getting resources is taking me forever.

Is there any way to speed this up?

[next current]

The Mineral Detector and the Scanner Room can help you locate for resources much easier.

[umbral delta]

There are a ton of resources in ||that mining cave||

[junior plinth]

The scanner room sounds like a pain though

bringing the resources all the way back to my main base

going back to the scanner room

rinse and repeat

not to be a pessimist or anything

[junior plinth]

I’ve heard about that! Where is it accessible from again?

[west mountain]

South-West of delta island near the shore, look for light sticks and follow them deeper down. Check the alterra facilities map from delta station, there is koppa mine labeled.

[carmine bobcat]

[fast tangle]

Sup

[magic zodiac]

Is the next game gonna have Linux support

I Wana play but man Linux is bad for games

Unless native support

[storm imp]

steam proton 👌

[deep kettle]

Proton exists. But I find it unlikely there will be a native version tbh.

[magic zodiac]

Proton was very laggy for me

[deep kettle]

Might want to see if Proton has any support articles. If you have a PC that's somewhat decent it should definitely run considering the Steamdeck can run it too 🙂

[magic zodiac]

Hmm aight I will try to see if it works

Heard next game is going to be in unreal engine

[deep kettle]

Correct. They have swapped over.

[magic zodiac]

Gonna have co-op?

[deep kettle]

We don't know.

[magic zodiac]

Ah

[deep kettle]

Basically all that has officially been confirmed is that it will run on Unreal Engine 5 and that it will have water 😛

For the rest everything is kind of a mystery.

[magic zodiac]

Gotcha

[severe rune]

uhh excuse me?...

where did the koppa mining site entry door go?!

[deep kettle]

🤔

[severe rune]

aight now i aint gonna have to force fit my sea truck in lol

btw where do i find docking module??

the fragments

[viral knot]

i wonder about that too

[severe rune]

Btw if no one knows imma just watch Chemicalape's guide

he makes great guides to find stuff

btw i found the builder tool fragment in koppa mining site so some ppl know

[next current]

Yeah. There's two at Koppa. I'm not sure what people are doing at Koppa without a Habitat but okay.

[severe rune]

ah i see that the entry is back lol

[eternal garnet]

best to google X3J artifact, videos

[next current]

It's in the Arctic Kelp Caves. Use your Seaglide's map to help reach it.

[bold monolith]

He doesn't give you all of them.

6 artifacts out of 15.

[severe rune]

Do you need help with it? DM me if u still need help.

[carmine bobcat]

How do I progress in the game

[eternal garnet]

Explore. Especially around given locations. Build a vehicle, go deeper

[severe rune]

fax

[severe rune]

why is everyone putting spoilers on ther messages?

[eternal garnet]

on story spoilers

[severe rune]

is ||koppa|| a part of story?

[eternal garnet]

hidden location, so slight spolier

[severe rune]

ok

anyways imma close discord cuz imma record a yt video

[severe rune]

is this the void?

i think so...

[loud meteor]

yup(i think)

i dont play much BZ

[modest fable]

Yeah, a drop off like that is almost certainly the edge of the map

[tacit thorn]

Looks familiar, must be the edge. Depth matches.

[carmine bobcat]

does anyon have a good map for below zero preferably with the locations of the naterials

[storm imp]

which materials?

[lethal elm]

titanium

[storm imp]

lol

[carmine bobcat]

mainly magnatite

i was gonna say rubys but i found the lilypads so im good on lrubys and gelsacks

[tacit thorn]

Advice needed - scanner shows 2 fragments to scan, but theyre like... below the map? They appear to be below the tunnel from under ice to glacial basin. is there some cave below i didn't discover yet?

[next current]

If there was a cave, it would've been mapped out by now.

[tacit thorn]

does scanner room show caves if you have not been in them before?

I've got impression before that it 'skips' areas not visited when scanning

[versed pumice]

how long do i gotta wait for snow stalkers to respawn i only got one drop when i killed it 🙄

also whats the drop rate for the fur

[storm imp]

not sure they do respawn, and pretty sure the drop rate is 0.

[versed pumice]

nah it dropped one

[storm imp]

you're sure you didn't get that from parvan's bunker or something?

[versed pumice]

no i found it on the ground after killing it

can u send the coords to the other spawn locations so i can get the other furs needed for the cold suit

if they dont respawn

[storm imp]

was it in one of the caves around the baby snow stalkers?

[versed pumice]

no it only had one snow stalker

[storm imp]

a. you can get as much as you need from one with a spy pengling and b. you don't need the cold suit, just use the prawn suit.

[storm imp]

so yes, one of the caves. that's why.

it didn't drop it, it was already there.

[versed pumice]

why would i make that if i could just kill it

[storm imp]

because you can't get it from killing them.

[versed pumice]

here ill find another one and try again

[storm imp]

a spy pengling can give you an indefinite amount afaik and you only need 4

[versed pumice]

ill just leave one alive then

[storm imp]

you can get the fur from a dead one with the sp

[versed pumice]

gimme a sec still looking for another spawn location

[storm imp]

the wiki has no mention of getting any from killing them, and I've seen it confirmed here a few times.
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Snow_Stalker_Fur

[versed pumice]

??

[storm imp]

well duh, it's snow stalker fur. you can get it from a snow stalker by using a spy pengling.

[versed pumice]

do u have coords for another cave so i can test

im having no luck finding one

ok found one

[storm imp]

you can find them scattered around the spires.

[versed pumice]

yeah ur right no drop

kinda wack ngl

[storm imp]

The games specifically don't reward you for killing stuff.

[versed pumice]

thats L decision

[north lintel]

never played below zero

[rare oak]

Can you shoot stuff with the propulsion cannon at animals to defend yourself?

this chelicerate seems to just ignore me throwing titanium at it : (

[little haven]

I mean sure you can just pluck the fur with your hands, but wheres the fun in that

[sleek timber]

https://mapgenie.io/subnautica-below-zero/maps/world

for magnetite you can use the panel on the left to highlight the biomes it's found in

[sleek timber]

BZ is quite buggy in that sense - I found a lot of stuff with scanner that's not actually reachable

[lunar flame]

Is there an predicted year to subnautica 2 launch?

[bold monolith]

The next game in the Subnautica universe© doesn't have any ETA. But we're at the very beginning.

Don't expect it anytime soon.

[stoic surge]

Good morning, fellow Subnauts - I recently read something about BZ that has inspired me to dust it off and start anew, so I will be hanging out here for a while - If you recognize me, be sure to say Howdy

[west mountain]

Howdy or as we say here: Grüezi

[stoic surge]

Afraid I'm not familiar with that second one, but it's good to see you again 🙂

[west mountain]

Same to you! Grüezi is just hello in Swiss German.

So what are your plans for your next playthrough?

[stoic surge]

I see - I took exactly one semester of German in high school, and have forgotten 99% of it by now

I saw a nice looking setup someone built on that clear spot on the shore of glacial basin, and it calls to me to build a nice base there -

[west mountain]

Excellent, so you continue your existing game then or start a new one?

[stoic surge]

I think I shall start from beginning, to get the full effect

[west mountain]

I am about to build my 24th base soon.

[stoic surge]

My poor little Switch would just melt trying to handle that many

[west mountain]

I had to reset the all the resources on my map in order to continue building. I emptied the entire map from all resource. Now I got them back at least and it looks nicer if there are some rocks laying around. But only works on PC though

[stoic surge]

Sounds like quite the epic build

[west mountain]

Its the interior decoration that uses most of the resources. I assume there is a 1:10 relationsship of needed material between building the hull structure and interior decoration.

All my 23 bases are fully decorated inside

[stoic surge]

Very impressive

[west mountain]

Such a pitty I cannot invite you to my restaurant, it looks so empty without any guests:

[stoic surge]

Maybe, some magical day, there will be the potential for MP in a Subnautica title -- but until then --

Last time I was in here, someone was having trouble with the pengi-bot, seems they had accidently used the 'self destruct' and couldn't figure out why it kept breaking

[west mountain]

I think we all tried that button at one time in the game

[stoic surge]

Yup -- Fun fact: if is SD while carrying a cargo, the item will be hovering above the wreckage

I went to where I tried it, and it was like, his little mechanical arm was aiming straight up, holding one last nutrient block for me

Welp, while my game is downloading, I must search for some breakfast, but I shall report back in soon

[junior plinth]

my base is powered by baby penguins and held together with sticky tape

[clever crow]

I accidentally fed baby penguin to baby polar bear. (Because all fish you hold in hands can be killed by predators next to you.)

[eager sapphire]

lmao

[eager sapphire]

what is wrong with you

[fierce dune]

So progression in my hardcore playthrough doing well hoping I don't drown in the mine with the headlamp again

[fast tangle]

Headlamp huh, never used it

[fierce dune]

Neither have I just best way to describe the little mining cave

Drowned exploring the 1st time and 2nd air bladder was empty and forgot about oxygen

[fast tangle]

Umm.. Is it your first time going in the mining cave. It isn't that hard to explore.

[fierce dune]

No 3rd just I get distracted easily and don't pay attention to 02

[fast tangle]

Besides removing away Rebreather is always be the worse way of exploring caves.

[stoic surge]

I prefer to explore the mine in a Prawn suit

[fast tangle]

Prawn suits feels like a cheat to whole bz game. In subnautica it feels necessary and important one, but here cold, ||ice worm|| and everything turn a complete joke to it.

[stoic surge]

This is why it takes a lot of resource to build it, it's a mid to late game vehicle for these reasons

Another thing I love about this game is you can do things in whatever order you can manage, and this keeps it fresh

[north lintel]

og subnautica better ngl

[west mountain]

If you go to Outpost Zero first (what hardly anybody does, I dont know why) you can get the prawn before the seatruck 🙂 . But I agree, usually the prawn comes much later than the seatruck and also the seatruck is the intended vehicle in BZ.

[stoic surge]

I quite like the Seatruck, pity it will barely fit into the mine entrance

[west mountain]

Be careful, ||ice worms|| can destroy a prawn in one attack, if you are unfortunate.

[junior plinth]

there’s literally infinite of them

[west mountain]

There are two side entrances where it fits, even with one module attached (prawn docking and prawn for example). Then I park my storage modules in front of the entrance and bring the stuff up with the seatruck.

[junior plinth]

yes there is also a thermal power thing powering a fair bit

But I keep screwing it up whenever I do renovations

so powered by penguins it is

[junior plinth]

it can fit in the mine entrance?

[fast tangle]

Hmm..., ohkay. But ice worm atks are kinda predictable, easy to dodge

[west mountain]

Not regularely, but as mentioned, there are two side entrances.

[stoic surge]

Barely, kinda have to go in sideways, but it can get wedged and is not recommended

[junior plinth]

I’ve been thinking of setting up a scanner in the mines actually

is that worth the effort?

[west mountain]

No, for what purpose. Everything is in plain sight. Then better use the handheld mineral detector.

[junior plinth]

the auto harvesting process

[west mountain]

Just work your way down from the top and collect everything. Its so easy, everthing is in plain sight. But hey, do as you prefer.

[fast tangle]

Yeah, but it kinda not feels like mid or late game thing in anyway. You can actually beat the game without having to even craft it.

[west mountain]

Correct it is not required anywhere and even does not come with the perimeter defense upgrade, which makes the seatruck almost invulnerable.

[junior plinth]

I’m playing BZ first since it was on sale.

[fast tangle]

Yeah, in my first playthrough, I craft one and go to cristal cave to only collect ||kynite||. Only to find out you can hand pick it and no need for drill I feels like I wasted my time on prawn and it's depth module and drill too. And i did all this cause you know the first game taught me that to do.

[junior plinth]

Should I have played Subnautica first?

[west mountain]

No need they are not based on each other. And then you will only be one more person complaining how much better SN is over BZ because they played it first. Its simple, the one you play first you like more than the next. So if "everybody" is right, playing BZ first and the SN just increases the pleasure of gaming, because you save the better for later. I started with BZ and have so much fun with it, that I have not even started SN yet 🙂

[fast tangle]

I go with this, play bz first and then original.

[fierce dune]

Love the sea truck dock, shame you can't leave it without all the modules

Even though it makes 0 sense to not have EVERY module on it or else it can't be called Clifford the big red truck

[north lintel]

kynite?

you mean kyanite

[fast tangle]

Seatruck try be the portable home, just like Cyclops from og. But loses on that side for me.

[west mountain]

I dont think that the seatruck was ever intended to be your portable home in BZ. It just gives some comfort while on the move, but you always come back to your home base now and then.

[fast tangle]

Yeah, thanks for pointing it out, I didnt even know that.

[fast tangle]

Really, it has sleeper module, aquarium module. I think it did try to

[west mountain]

Again, just to pass some time but not mobile base. I tried it for two days and it just does not give you enough comfort to use it as a serious base. But there is also no need in BZ to be on the way for long enough to have a big mobile base with you.

[fast tangle]

Yeah, thats what I mean, it tried to be but unable to be.

[west mountain]

There are some neat tricks for example: You can charge batteries with swimmcharge fins and powercell with the prawn thermal reactor. You get food from aquarium and water from water filtration suite. But no real base feeling is coming up.

[fast tangle]

Yeah, that exactly what i mean. okay you win. Lol

I blame all this to sleeper module. That alone makes me think like that.

[west mountain]

Correct, so I use the sleeper module to listen to music and pass time with sleeping when its dark and I need it to be daytime for my exploration or project whatever.

[fast tangle]

Cool, well there is a one more module teleportation one. Never used it. Does it teleport me somewhere I want?

[west mountain]

No, its pretty useless. It teleports you back to the seatruck module from where you currently are but at the cost of 1/3 of an ion cube

[wet saddle]

just started BZ and the first thing i did was commit kidnapping

[next current]

Just to make it feel more like home.

[fast tangle]

So you always need to have ion cubes and if that so, what's it's range.

[next current]

Sounds like everyone who's played this game.

[next current]

Infinite range.

[wet saddle]

i can keep this lil dude as my pet, yes?

[fast tangle]

Let me guess, pengling

[wet saddle]

WHY CAN'T I JUST PUT HIM IN MY BASE why do he gotta be in a storage

[next current]

I mean sure! Who's gonna stop you? Alterra? They're too lazy to stop anything happening down there.

[next current]

His cage.

[wet saddle]

i can't keep him hanging around my base tho 😦 unless theres a module i can build later to give him an enclousure

[next current]

Cold, Titanium cage.

[fast tangle]

Infinite woah, that seems cool. I can do go to artic spirals find the cache and boom back in the sea truck or ||cure frozen leviathan|| and boom back in truck. Does my prawn suit teleport too

[next current]

Nope. Just the player.

Glad to know that Shrek still exists in the SN universe.

[severe rune]

whats up ppl?

[fast tangle]

Umm.... Now I'm gonna say. It's definitely useless

[severe rune]

does this server have many mods?

moderators

[safe sun]

Yes. And we're watching you.

[severe rune]

oo new emoji! i like it!

[next current]

Prawn.

[severe rune]

now we only need sea truck, sea moth and that big submarine

[safe sun]

[severe rune]

wh

[west mountain]

Inside an aquarium he will be fine and will bring you joy

[next current]

Agreed on that first one.

[severe rune]

since when?!

i guess only sea truck now...

[wet saddle]

good

[safe sun]

That's not a vehicle!

[clever crow]

flying fr

[safe sun]

Silly goose

[clever crow]

is glow whale a vehicle?

[west mountain]

A leviathan

[violet mantle]

How many solar panels is recommended for a battery and power cell recharging base?

[clever crow]

vehicle class leviathan.

[fast tangle]

Alterra, they are lazy or stupid. I couldnt understand how they are not able to find ||Alan|| in the first place. Because in my 2nd ingame day i got him in ||my head||.

[violet mantle]

Using solar cells only and being able to recharge two power cells plus a couple of batteries.

[severe rune]

woah thats fast!
I got ||Alan|| when i first had high capacity tank which was prob 1 in game week

i swear to god i had much more roles yesterday where did they go?

oh nvm wrong server. lol

anyways

[severe rune]

depends how you look on it

its not able to steer on ur will so i guess maybe

[glacial birch]

Does anyone know whether the de-extinsion mod still works or not?

[next current]

It does in the legacy build on Steam.

[glacial birch]

So it doesn't work with bepinex?

[next current]

No because the mod hasn't been updated for it. And probably won't be updated for a while.

[glacial birch]

😦 sad times man

Thank you for the help

[next current]

Np. If you have anymore questions about it, you should join the modding server. Link is in #subnautica-modding.

[fast tangle]

A ingame week to find ||Alan||, hmm.. Idk it would take that much time. Even in my first playthrough i was at ||Delta Island|| in a week. Maybe it depends on person to person. When I find him I only had seaglide, was looking for table coral and rebreather.

[eternal garnet]

@next current Legacy on BZ is updated and very new. Its only purpose is old CPU support. Legacy on SN is for mods though

[next current]

I was just assuming they knew.

[stoic surge]

This is true, I usually only build it if I want to do some resource drilling

[quasi wing]

can i unistall subnatuica and have its progress still save?

[bold monolith]

The saves should be in the cloud. And whatever client you're using, they probably won't remove them either.

[violet mantle]

Not locally as it stores saves in the subnautica folder but you can and should back them up manually through the os file manager. If on steam, right click, choose properties, local files, browse, then look for something like snappdata, copy that to your desktop or somewhere else safe. If you are on a steam deck then you need to do that in desktop mode.

[violet mantle]

Especially if you have the seatruck arms mod then you only need it for ||crystal caverns fissures|| and ||ion cubes||.

[bold monolith]

Steam doesn't remove files it doesn't know.

The slot folders and subfolders aren't known, it only removes files from the build, the ones it installs.

The only thing that could explain why you didn't retrieve your old save, even before the cloud, was that you were reinstalling the game on another library folder.

[violet mantle]

I don't fully trust cloud saves to act as a backup, while they will likely work I always back things up manually before any uninstalls.

[stoic surge]

Seatruck arms mod?

[violet mantle]

Yes, lets you use prawn suit like arms (claw, drill, grappling, propulsion and torpedo) but for the seatruck. Requires slot extender. Combine with the seatruck storage module (lets you have two storage containers, one on the left and one on the right, of the seatruck cab)

[stoic surge]

I play the Switch version, no mods here

[tacit thorn]

Gravity ball is your friend - allows to reach 90% of those things clipped into walls. Havent found a way to reach clipped drillable deposits, or things clearly outside map yet.

[carmine bobcat]

funny but i have 8 million power in rise of kingdoms

[stoic surge]

rise of what? lol

[tacit thorn]

just a troll, ignorr

[stoic surge]

Oh, ok

Most new players show up here and say 'WHERE DIAMOND'

[worldly condor]

Where diamond lol

[stoic surge]

In my new game, I actually just grabbed some up myself, but I did know where to look

[tacit thorn]

did anyone, ever, grabbed all non-renewable resources on the map?

[deep kettle]

I think it's too much along with that a ton of them are inside of other objects.

[stoic surge]

I think Markus said he did, but then did some kinda hocus-pocus with the game files to restore them

[sleek timber]

Yeah, I learned that trick a few days ago

[sleek timber]

[stoic surge]

Oh look, here's one

[kindred rapids]

So playing Below Zero for the first time, and I notice that this game requires more patience than with Subnautica

[tacit thorn]

gravity ball makes handheld cannon obsolete. except for moving props I guess.

[tacit thorn]

Install autosave mod to disable the patience aspect

[stoic surge]

Unless they play the Switch version

[kindred rapids]

I find nothing wrong with it, just that I have to be extra careful, especially because I nearly drowned to death and I had to reload a save to avoid imminent death

[stoic surge]

There are many ways to die on 4546B

[tacit thorn]

funnily, top one of them is dehydration

[kindred rapids]

Yep. Either die of drowning, or die of frostbite. Its hard to balance between the two especially without the necessary materials to survive

[stoic surge]

BZ does seem to have more guidance than the OG had, imo

[kindred rapids]

And the drowning to death was from my serious carelessness in venturing too deep when I need to upgrade the O2 tank

[stoic surge]

I have found a cluster of table corals, woot!

[worldly condor]

Honestly tho

Getting table coral is way more ridiculously hard in this game

[rustic minnow]

Hey does anyone happen to know how to unglitch yourself from a moonpool?

[stoic surge]

If it could be cultivated, it would be quite a different matter

[worldly condor]

Ya

[rustic minnow]

My seatruck wasn’t going into my moonpool because it had no power, so I left the seatruck under the moonpool, and powered it on. But it still didn’t go in, so I got into it to reset it, but it took the seatruck and didn’t take me along with it

For whatever reason it made me immobilized and took the seatruck into the moonpool, and now I’m immobilized under the moonpool. Can’t access my inventory, move, nothing

I’m sure this isn’t the place to find help for this, but I’m not seeing a solution

[worldly condor]

Oh just reload ur save

[tacit thorn]

escape, unstuck?

[worldly condor]

It’ll be fixed then

Or unstick like he said

[rustic minnow]

Unstuck is not clickable
And I saved while stuck, like an idiot, and it kept me stuck

[worldly condor]

Did u reload save?

[rustic minnow]

I guess not? What’s that mean?

[worldly condor]

Like quit the game and re enter

[rustic minnow]

Yes, I restarted the game too, didn’t work

[worldly condor]

Can u send a screenshot?

That way I have an idea what u mean?

[rustic minnow]

Unfortunately not at the moment, but I can describe it. I’m just sitting there underwater, underneath the moonpool and my crosshair is just in the middle of the screen

[tacit thorn]

tried pressing e like to exit the truck?

[rustic minnow]

Yah, I clicked every key, esc is the only one that did anything

Well except for the few F# keys, but that’s all graphical stuff or whatever

[tacit thorn]

last resort option if nothing works - either cheats to teleport somehwre (this disables achievemtns on save) OR leave the game running until you die of thirst

[rustic minnow]

I could try those, but there’s no health, food, water, temp, air bar… so… I have no idea if that can even happen

But that’s helpful, I’ll try that, thank you

I’m sorry, I wish I could do it right now and be right on the computer to try things but of course, I have been rushed away from my pc at moc 10 for whatever reason

[sleek knot]

You might also consider reposting that in the bug smash channel so the developers can see it.

[rustic minnow]

I have no idea how to do that, that’s why I came here, cuz I’m kinda an idiot

[sleek knot]

Scroll down through the channels on the left-hand pane until you see "bug-smash" under the "Bugs & Support" category.

[tacit thorn]

You do not qualify.
An proper idiot would come here, blame everyone, and be unable to describe what happened.

[rustic minnow]

Well thank you 😅
I’m gonna see if I can let my character respawn after dying, and then if that fails I’ll try and come back here for more help. Otherwise my save is kaput, in which case, I guess I could replay some or try and learn how to recover a previous save file

[tacit thorn]

make a copy of save file for now.
if you do not care about achievements, look for console command that teleports the player and try it.

[deep kettle]

So even after you quit the entire game and reloaded it was still stuck? Interesting 🤔

[tacit thorn]

that is clearly in the range of horrifying

[rustic minnow]

Yes, well I got stuck inside the seatruck, and when it happened I reflexively tried to exit, but of course I saved it like a fool. But when I reentered the game I was outside the seatruck (the moonpool took the seatruck up into itself, but left me stuck under it)

[deep kettle]

What platform are you playing on btw?

[rustic minnow]

Pc

I also… okay… so maybe this is the real issue. I had an attachment for storage on the back of it, and that is what I actually entered

I was in the back of it and it got pulled up at that same moment as I was entering it. So maybe that’s what I did wrong

[deep kettle]

Definitely shouldn't "lock" your character forever regardless though.

[stoic surge]

Strange, in my game, modules always detach from the cab when it enters a moonpool

[rustic minnow]

Lol try doing it 😂 see if you can also break yourself

Maybe that’s what happened? It detached with me in it?

[deep kettle]

I'm actually booting up the game yeah. Not sure if I'll get the same issue though.

[stoic surge]

Save a copy of your save data, don't want you stuck also

[tacit thorn]

his moonpool has been unpowered. it grabbed him when power came back on

[deep kettle]

I'm cheating the stuff in, I don't have a proper save any more.

[rustic minnow]

So this is the process:
1.) the Moonpool had no power
2.) I drove the seatruck with only a single attachment on it (the storage one). And I actually slammed it into the top of the water like in the moonpool
3.) I used a solar panel and got power to the moonpool
4.) I swam down underneath the moonpool and the seatruck was still stuck
5.) I got into the back entrance of the storage attachment, and then it took me up into it

[deep kettle]

I got your issue.

That was rather easy to do lol.

[rustic minnow]

YES

[tacit thorn]

does the exit door is intercatable?

[deep kettle]

No my entire character is locked.

But saving and then quitting did fix it though.

[rustic minnow]

Maybe I’ll try it again later when I get back on my pc, sorry for all the trouble everyone. You’ve all been so very nice

[tacit thorn]

That is an "interesting" issue you brough.
Interesting, as in engineer seing things burn in spectacular way.

[deep kettle]

Worst case you could try to cheat your way out of there with console commands, but yeah.. Definitely annoying this can happen though 😅

[stoic surge]

Speaking of Seatruck modules, I finally built and attached my fave - the fabricator - Robin is a real trucker now, lol

[tacit thorn]

fabricator, sleeper, 5 storages, and powersuit at end is my to go config.

[stoic surge]

Once I build the aquarium module, my fave setup will be ready [cab-aquarium-fab]

I call this one the 'chow wagon'

[tacit thorn]

for looks, or just like your fish fresh?

[stoic surge]

Fresh is best, but the aquarium also feeds my bioreactor, and gives a great view as a bonus

[tacit thorn]

bioreactor in truck?

[stoic surge]

Actually, in my base

That would be cool tho

I quite miss the Seamoth's solar charger

[tacit thorn]

once you unlock super-capacity power cells, they last forever

[stoic surge]

iirc they have 5x the power, right?

[tacit thorn]

they do. you can always bring spare

seatruck has the upside of draining the left cell first, so its easy to keep topped up by swapping it

[stoic surge]

That does work

The port-side cell drains first

[tacit thorn]

[screams]
you are using highly technical and obsolete words!

[stoic surge]

Nautical terms, my dude

[tacit thorn]

exactly

[stoic surge]

It is a SEA truck, lol

[tacit thorn]

it is vacuum rated

[eternal garnet]

ya port and starboard are sadly still used

[tacit thorn]

space truck

[stoic surge]

Hey, Sir Meatie

[eternal garnet]

and aft and bow

bow and stern, I mean

[tacit thorn]

I prefer to stick to simple engineering terms. Left/right, front/back, top/bottom, kata/ana

[stoic surge]

Fun fact - the term 'meter' can be different, depending on what planet you're on

[tacit thorn]

it actually shouldn't. the original metre has been defined as 1/10000 of quarter arc of great wheel of earth, and has a convenient size for everyday use. But SI definition is based off speed of light now.

[stoic surge]

Current def. is '1/10,000 the distance from the equator to either pole, at sea level'

It does NOT specify Earth, however

[tacit thorn]

The SI definition is distance travelled by light, in vacuum, and 1 metre is ~1/300 000 000 light-second.

[eternal garnet]

SI and meter are both Earth things.

[stoic surge]

NMS uses 'units' insetad, to avoid confusion

Who knows what 'units' are, lol

[eternal garnet]

even second, hour, year are earth things

[stoic surge]

So, I digress from the topic - I must go to Koppa, and pilfer epic loot now

[eternal garnet]

if we go into space, we'd still use meters though

[tacit thorn]

the original values were based on earth world for convenience, but current definitions are based off real scientific values

[deep kettle]

What if we just all start using millimetres instead?

[eternal garnet]

we do. it's the same thing.

that's what's great about SI units

you can say megameter - it's 1,000,000 meter

[tacit thorn]

or 10^12 meters

[stoic surge]

I'll keep using the imperial system, for now

[eternal garnet]

or Terameters, it's ... many

[tacit thorn]

Oh no, imperial system is wildly inconsistent. Want to see an example? 😁

[stoic surge]

Nope

[tacit thorn]

aww

[stoic surge]

I like to tell people 'it's over yonder'

[eternal garnet]

imperial doesn't come anywhere near SI, does it? I hope not

[stoic surge]

Everyone knows what that means, in my neck of the woods

Anyway, Koppa mine - I have the rebreather, mid-grade air tank, and a heart full of courage -- it's time

[tacit thorn]

Bring seatruck. it fits through main gate.

grab couple diamonds just inside, go back to base to make depth upgrade, then go dipper

[stoic surge]

Oh I have the upgrade, I grabbed diamonds from -- a shallower spot

[tacit thorn]

Truck it!

[tacit thorn]

Please say you want to try a fun experiment comparing the two 😄

[eternal garnet]

no. I hate imperial

it needs to die

[stoic surge]

Sacrilage!

[eternal garnet]

it is said to have caused a space shuttle disaster

[tacit thorn]

only good imperial thing, is the star destroyer

[tacit thorn]

It was a rocket. subcontractors using feet instead of meters. things crashed.

[eternal garnet]

how much is an ounce?

• is that fluid or weight?
• Oh just go away.

[tacit thorn]

metric is easier.
1 gram is one cubic centimeters of water.
one litre is one cubic decimetere, or thousacn cubic centimeters, or one kilogram.
One cubic meter of water weights one metric ton.

[stoic surge]

We seem to be veering off topic a little now

[eternal garnet]

I know. It ties into Newtons and stuff too

ah true

[tacit thorn]

We could talk how nautical miles are confusing.

or just be happy subnautioca uses metric

[stoic surge]

So, I got distracted by the 'pilot's last location' so I'm going down

[umbral flicker]

Hello meatie how are you
I had a name change, I used to be wopman

[eternal garnet]

fun fact: minecraft blocks are 1 x 1 m

[umbral flicker]

Pilots last known location? You kinda at the start of the game right?

[eternal garnet]

leave pilot's until you have a truck that can go 300m

[stoic surge]

It can

Not my first play, I'll be OK

[eternal garnet]

oh, it's for you, lol

some of my replies are autoplilot

[stoic surge]

Ah yes, it's fine

[tacit thorn]

why replay the game? trying higher difficulty levels?

[eternal garnet]

BZ and SN are difficult to replay for many

But I love them a lot

[stoic surge]

I love how you hear a 'splat' sound when Robin eats a gelsack

[tacit thorn]

Uh, I have been playing 'a bit', but still havent stripmined whole map. why would I reset that?

<- actually freaked out of the hours counter.

[violet mantle]

Except for time then it still uses imperial time just like everyone including SI. But that is no surprise given that the French failed to implement metric time even with the threat of the guillotine for not using it.

[tacit thorn]

imperial time???

[eternal garnet]

Much of it is testing

And i've gotten about 60 achievements

[violet mantle]

24 hour days, 365 day years instead of 10/20 hour days, 10 day weeks, and 100 day years. Yes that would require redefining the SI second.

[eternal garnet]

yes, you can reset achievements

[tacit thorn]

how would you deal with earth orbital period and rotation getting slower?

[stoic surge]

Take a nap?

[tacit thorn]

No, if we define second as a value tied to earth rotation, it will slowly go out of sync.

[stoic surge]

Sounds complicated - I'll just take a nap

[tacit thorn]

24 hours is conveniently divisible by 2 and 3, so it can stay. We would have to redefine day when visiting mars and such

[violet mantle]

Of course we then have to find a way to modify our bodies to work on something other than a 24 hour cycle. Especially when one local day could be 120 earth hours, who can stay up for 80 hours straight "every day" then sleep for 40 hours without genetic engineering or advanced nanotech based augmentation or whatever.

[tacit thorn]

We could just work in shifts. Once whole world converts to UTC, it will be rather simple.

[violet mantle]

Then you would have multiple shifts and multiple sleep periods per day.

[tacit thorn]

not a problem. In fact, if the local planet day is not exact multiple of 24, it is more fair, as everyone gets equal number of 'night shifts'

and if we stay inside a base, keeping internal 24h day is trivial

[violet mantle]

Unless there is FTL comms/travel then calculating that would be tricky, unless you simply start a new calendar (thinking mainly of relativistic or sleeper ships here, though clock drift will cause problems even with generation ships as even cesium clocks aren't that accurate over centuries).

[tacit thorn]

If we discover ftl, we can just use known pulsars for a date fix

[stoic surge]

This all sounds very complicated - I still like my nap plan

[tacit thorn]

you would have to provide an alternative that is convenient enough to justify a switch

[hexed maple]

Hey yo!

I found some rock grubs dancing around

[stoic surge]

Well folks, my base is now officially steam powered

[tacit thorn]

found some good lava spots?

[stoic surge]

Actually, a steam vent

[rustic minnow]

Thank you all for waiting, I'm home now, and this is what I'm seeing in-game
I shall now wait to die

[tacit thorn]

try looking around for anything interactable

[stoic surge]

Can you bring up the command line?

[rustic minnow]

what is the command line key? And no, I can't move anything, or open any menus

[stoic surge]

I'm a Switch version player, so I'm not sure

[hexed maple]

The vent garden has become a dance floor

[stoic surge]

oontz oontz oontz oontz

[hexed maple]

another bites da dus-

i wonder what the Mantis shrim- Oops i meant Rock-Punchers are gonna do..

i think thats actually more than a meme

[rustic minnow]

Still not dead yet? How long does it take to die in this game xD now when I want to die, I can't

[hexed maple]

i think thats the Subnautica 3 Teaser

[tacit thorn]

around 15 mins.

if it does not work, backup the save and try console commands to teleport.

if you wish to keep achievements, you might want to try achievement re-enabler mod

[rustic minnow]

I'm finally taking damage, so maybe I'll die, give me 1 sec to confirm it (it's been like 27 minutes I think, so I don't know what that means, but yah)

[tacit thorn]

if you are taking damage, then you should be able to die and respawn at base, with no cheats needed. backed the save file before?

[rustic minnow]

I just stopped taking damage for some reason

[tacit thorn]

did you move?

[rustic minnow]

nope, still can't, never could

[tacit thorn]

maybe certain position causes the module to glitch into collision-damage

[rustic minnow]

The read damage hits on the screen just stopped happening

[tacit thorn]

that is quite hard situation.

[rustic minnow]

I really don't want to loose my achievements or have to do this all over again
But this is really doing nothing, I can't even die

OH! The game just told me I am starving to death

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-spongebob-lonely-sad-raining-gif-5248000

I'm still alive after 39 minutes

Alright, I'm not dying anymore at 43 minutes, so I'm just going to see if the teleport works

[tacit thorn]

`A player will starve fully in about 50 minutes (1 unit of food every 30 seconds) and so it is important to watch out, as not being cautious can mean death.

With dehydration, on the other hand, a player will die in about 33 minutes. (1 unit of thirst every 20 seconds) `
If you are not dead after 33 mins, its not going to happen

[rustic minnow]

Yah it's not happening at all

And I can't seem to figure out how to use a teleport command? Like, what code do I write for it?

nevermind, the kill command killed me

[tacit thorn]

was about to suggest that

[rustic minnow]

I respawned, but I can't turn my head now!

lol I guess this save file is just dead then

oh well, thank you for the help

[tacit thorn]

try verify files on steam ,maybe something is really borked

[rustic minnow]

on it
I'm also gonna try totally shutting the game down and turning it back on again

[tacit thorn]

remember to backup the old one

[junior plinth]

I don’t think BZ has much replay value

[rustic minnow]

I did, I mean, it was busted anyways, but I did

[junior plinth]

not sure about subnautica since I haven’t played it yet

[storm imp]

you played bz before sn?

[rustic minnow]

does the "kill" command make it so you can't have achievements anymore?

[tacit thorn]

most likely any console access does

there is a mod that resets the 'cheats' flag on save if you need. I think.

[rustic minnow]

I mean, I don't want to do that, but if I have to

[storm imp]

any commands disable achievements for that save

[rustic minnow]

bruh

Yah, I fixed it by killing myself
I guess I need the achievements back, if anyone can help with that

[storm imp]

what was the issue?

[rustic minnow]

#below-zero-chat message
I got glitched in a seatruck for some reason, and I had to use the "kill" command to get out of the glitch

Someone reproduced the issue too, so if someone needs proof of it being bugged, I mean, that's it.
But then I couldn't die afterwards. Like, you'd think that I'd just starve to death, but nope, I couldn't die naturally either

[storm imp]

the unstuck button didn't work?

[tacit thorn]

ask on mod discord. I can only see achievemtn unlocker mod that lets you unlock them manually (cheat)

[rustic minnow]

it wasn't clickable

[storm imp]

hm

[rustic minnow]

I have no idea how to do this, and I'm starting to get turnt, so I think I'm going to scrap all this and either stop play, or start all the way over from the beginning

I appreciate everyone's help, you've all been so nice in answering my stupid questions

[storm imp]

I think Ignis can get achievements reenabled somehow

[rustic minnow]

What's "Ignis"?

actually nevermind, I'm done

gg gamers, it's been real

[storm imp]

a user here

...why did I turn reply ping off? @rustic minnow oh well.

[violet mantle]

it is a qol fixes mod on nexus i think

[carmine bobcat]

@leaden viper

Where are you

[junior plinth]

I can’t get my large room to align with the rest of my base

what can I do?

It’s always slightly above or slightly below

[carmine bobcat]

Connect them with compartments

[carmine bobcat]

Does anyone know what happened to her. I haven't heard from her in 2 years and I'm worried.

[rancid hamlet]

Sorry to change the subject

But does anyone else have weird performance issues?

I have an Alienware M15 r3 so I have a pretty good gaming laptop
