below-zero-chat

[rancid hamlet]

But it'll be running fine and then randomly slow down to like <20 fps

Even if I put the graphics settings to low it persists

I have to either exit to menu and re enter, cycle through the graphics, or pause and wait and it sometimes fixes itself

[rancid hamlet]

i just started and its really the one issue i have

like itll be fine and then not and its kinda immersion breaking tbh

[carmine bobcat]

Can anyone help me, my Subnotica game is stuck on the warning screen and isn’t loading, does anyone have a solution

Pls personal dm me if you know anything

[jolly basin]

Got any mods installed?

[torn ether]

yooooooooooooo i found a time capsule with nickel

[unkempt scroll]

Wrong chat.

[torn ether]

woops

[weary arrow]

Why do i have shadow leviathan badge on steam but i didnt met the shadow leviathan

[unkempt scroll]

You dont meet shadow leviathan.

Shadow leviathan meets you.

[eternal garnet]

This is caused by an outdated Qmodloader. Delete the folder bepinex, or update Qmod.
Alternatively by the Legacy branch on steam, do tell me if that's the case. There's a solution

[unkempt scroll]

Or maybe dont pirate game?

[eternal garnet]

not a lot points to that

Pentium Gold on plain Legacy will have this outcome. And on main branch it won't start at all

[stoic surge]

I always suspect pirate versions if it's called 'Subnotica'

[unkempt scroll]

Huh? Why? Isn’t this how the game is called?

[bold monolith]

I don't think you should be suspicious just because someone misspelled the name.

[unkempt scroll]

You should always be suspicious.

You should always be sus

sus

[stoic surge]

subNOTica -- nope, not sus at all -- ?

[unkempt scroll]

Umm… yeah? Why are you keep saying the name of a game?

[stoic surge]

It's Subnautica --

[unkempt scroll]

Oh yeah. I know. Stop saying it already. We know how the game is called.

[shy heath]

@unkempt scroll per the other chat definitely the 🦐

[unkempt scroll]

I liked the 🦐

[shy heath]

My opinion is I just wish there was more, like in BZ but Sub is still there better game

[shy heath]

As do I but… ^

[next current]

Same.

[weak gazelle]

why is this still glowing even tho i scanned the ||artifact|| and ||talked with AL-AN||

[eternal garnet]

minor bug. you turned it off, so all good

[weak gazelle]

i mean the yellow +

[eternal garnet]

you may also get up to 2 Sanctuary beacons

I know

[weak gazelle]

ye that happened to me too

with the ||signal||

[next current]

I honestly think it's intentional since you can get two signals for the ||Jellyshroom Caves Degasi Base|| in the first game.

[stoic surge]

Seems like the game is really wanting us to go there, hmm?

[undone stratus]

Guys, I'm a newbie. Is there only one big fish like ghost leviathan or how many like reaper?

[clever crow]

many.

[clever crow]

but you won't meet them all probably.

[weak gazelle]

do you think i couldve scanned the artifact without swimming?

[clever crow]

like, you need to swim through the exact place the beacon is set so the yellow dot dissapears

[weak gazelle]

ok ill try

[stoic surge]

For whatever reason, the big dangerous fishies on 4546B make a lot of noise when they're near, so you'll at least have some warning

IRL predators try to sneak up on their next meal, so this is unexpected

[clever crow]

pda says 🦐 screams to stun prey. but irl predators don't do it much, not the marine guys at least. orcas stun prey by slamming their tail into it.

i'm pretty sure big bois in subnautica scream because t-rex in jurassic park screams - to be cool.

[violet mantle]

Echolocation (active sonar), i think.

[next current]

This is a game about an alien ocean with the fish that's a reference to Pengu.

[quiet halo]

Picture of my base.

[next current]

I love it! The place is nice as well!

[rocky temple]

Where would y’all recommend building a base? I’m planning to expand a lot. (Reply ping me pls)

[next current]

Depends on what you'd like from a base location. Are looking for resources, just for looks, or a bit of both?

[rocky temple]

I can grind a bit more for resources if necessary, I just want looks mostly.

[quiet halo]

Personally I like deep sea bases, but I think it’s just whatever biome you like the best.

[next current]

||Then I recommend the Tree Spires or the Lilypad Islands. If you want a cave base, then I recommend the Deep Lilypad Caves. On the upper section of the Tree Spires, there are two Chelicerates while the lower section has none. The Lilypad Islands have a few Squidsharks but there are areas where they lack a presence in. The upper chamber of the Deep Lilypad Caves is, for the most part, very peaceful and the only hostile fauna there are a few Spikey Traps. The lower chamber adds a single Squidshark to the mix.||

Also note that you can build on top of the Lilypads.

[rocky temple]

Awesome thanks

[ocean merlin]

How do I ||activate the portal in the Phi Robotics Center||?

[steel stream]

You activate it from the other end, which is located in ||arctic spires, on the other side of the bridge||

[frosty aspen]

a view from my base

[north lintel]

nobody wanna talk to me

og subnautica or below zero

[eternal garnet]

Which one? Yes.

[dense wadi]

I’m hoping this gets steam deck verified soon iv been playing it on there with its playable status but it seems to make the steam deck quite hot

[bold monolith]

Do you think the temperature is something they check in order to be verified?

[dense wadi]

Dunno but it’s my only issue that’s made me stop playing it because the steam deck gets quite hot and the fan gets super loud. I did have a steam deck shutdown once because of it but it’s only been the once

Iv read online that if the steam deck gets super hot it drains the battery quicker or something along these lines

[eternal garnet]

more power draw from more GPU work does get hotter yes

if steam deck has the "FPS cap" setting, that can lower heat a lot

Might be a PC thing

[dense wadi]

Aye when I used to play it on the pc in the early days it did the same thing till updates later it got luke warm but wasn’t an issue to worry about. I know subnautica gets warm on the steam deck but nowhere near what below zero gets to

[dense wadi]

I’ll just check that

[eternal garnet]

if FPS cap is missing, Vsync does the same but always to the screen refresh rate. 60? I don't know

[dense wadi]

On the menu screen it’s luke warm and yes it does have the FPS slider

[eternal garnet]

cool. BZ is playable down to about 30, and will load the GPU less at that speed

try 40, see how that runs

now, if it was doing 40FPS already, nothing changes

[dense wadi]

Loading screen it gets slightly warmer, I game it’s hot at 100 on the FPS slider

[eternal garnet]

FPS cap will never increase FPS or heat. But it can lower them

[dense wadi]

Will quit and lower it see what changes

[eternal garnet]

Graphics quality also affects power draw + heat

Heat will always follow power draw

[dense wadi]

At 40 on the slider after swimming around for a few minutes it’s fluctuating from warm to hot. Played a bit longer and the snow storm took it to ouch running around on land

Still howling though

When I got frozen by that underwater creature it spiked whilst I was frozen then died down a little

It seems to fluctuate how hot it gets depending on the biome, weather conditions or what happens to your character like getting frozen for example

Construction simulator goes to ouch from launch but below zero is nowhere near that on launch

Goes to ouch and stays there the entire time below zero fluctuates and dosnt do that. Iv herd optimisation can affect this

[ocean merlin]

Whatever happened to ||Danielle||? The Subnautica wikia says that ||she is alive|| but doesn't go into detail and given that ||the only other human we meet in person is Marguerite||, atleast from where I am in the story as of right now, I have my doubts.

[eternal garnet]

After the ||accident where 2 died, and someone also blew up a base, Alterra closed operations and went home||

[stoic surge]

I've always wondered why an operation like they had going there would have just one security guy

[clever crow]

i think it's because it's a secret only select number of scientists and management know about. and also alterra undervalues and mistreats lower-ranking workers (miners). parvan was the guy that got along with that group of researchers so he was assigned.

[indigo moth]

Who is Danielle

[forest sandal]

Explore mountains now?
Yes or No?

[storm imp]

mountains?

[fast tangle]

What if, the game allow us to wander on lands outside the map and then there a 3x size of ||ice worms|| comes to kill us. because I manage to go outside somewhere from ||Arctic spires|| long lone land that was.

[fast tangle]

It all just a guess. The game left us in questions more than answers. I wish there are more to alterra and their missions.

[viral knot]

how can i get to this ||alien emergency signal?||

it's like 200 meters down or something but i cant find a way to it

and i've found this

||2 alien light beacons or something||

oh i think these ||alien beacons|| lead to the right place

[eternal garnet]

yes, the blinky ones

[storm imp]

plenty of oxygen plants

[eternal garnet]

yes,. just glide there

not far

[viral knot]

yeah however i found oxygen mask near which i might make

[eternal garnet]

ah rebreather, good

[viral knot]

i'll probably search around here a bit, switch my battery in sea glide and come here again

[viral knot]

yea

anything useful to scan i might find there?

well except for that building platform and sea truck fragments

[eternal garnet]

outside in the canyon, at 120m, large o2 and builder tool

by a little building

real deep: new ores and truck modules

[viral knot]

can this shark shut up and leave my poor sea truck alone😭 😭 😭

[viral knot]

you mean this?

[eternal garnet]

no. 120m

I think it's to the west from here

The small moon is always north. And the volcano

[viral knot]

the wtf moon?

[eternal garnet]

the smaller of the 2 moons

[viral knot]

can i find sea truck modules there?

[eternal garnet]

that's ok because you have a repair tool

below 300m. yes

[viral knot]

oh deeper

duh i need diamonds to make this upgrade for sea truck

[eternal garnet]

yep. Maybe dip down just below 300m quickly for a couple diamonds. Right in this canyon

But come back later

Bite him back

Save game btw. Often.

[viral knot]

i do

im done with this guy, how can i kill him

oh and can he kill me?

[eternal garnet]

truck bumps, knife. Yes of course he can, but I don't think in one hit

[viral knot]

first dive and i've found diamond

though i think i need two to make this upgrade

[eternal garnet]

I am shortening your game with all this help, so be aware. Also I need to make food

[viral knot]

who would've thought diamonds were below 200 meters

like it's expectable for me that the deeper you go, the better resources you get

my sea truck was at 100% repair and now it's 43 bc that god damn shark

aight i have rebreather and repaired my sea truck

and i hope i can make this upgrades now

i have 5 hours in game and i already have ||ion cube which i found on this island where delta thing is||

aight with this upgrade i can now safely go 300 meters deep i guess

[timid horizon]

Do we have any info on the next game?

[lime grove]

it has water

[timid horizon]

What kind

[lime grove]

water

[timid horizon]

I mean what game engine will the game be on

[barren crown]

In a bit of a bad situation

What do I do

[bold monolith]

Your perimeter defense isn't on cooldown. So use it, exit and repair immediately.

Then re-enter and go away.

[viral knot]

UE5 probably

[storm imp]

ue5 is confirmed iirc

[viral creek]

is there a multiplayer mod for below zero?

[eternal garnet]

not a working one. There is a project

[viral creek]

Ok

thanks

[rancid hamlet]

can someone help me with this please

idk what it is

ill be fine, then itll drop to like 20 fps, then ill be ok after a few minutes

its an annoying cycle

[sturdy hedge]

noooooo

i just fell through map after not saving for like 20m

im stuck

[rancid hamlet]

get unstuck

is there like

a help channel or anything

cause no one answers in here

[storm imp]

what specs?

[rancid hamlet]

i7-10750H CPU, 2070 Super GPU, 16.0 GB RAM

1 tb nvme ssd

[storm imp]

what temperatures does it get to while playing?

check with hwinfo if you can, task manager isn't that accurate.

[rancid hamlet]

gpu? or cpu

[storm imp]

both

[rancid hamlet]

also

thanks for helping :)

[rancid hamlet]

never used it before

one sec; trying to find temps

[storm imp]

click the sensors button

[rancid hamlet]

which one is it

gpu temp says 84.5

[storm imp]

cpu package I'm pretty sure, and that's definitely thermal throttling. what do you set your laptop on while playing?

[rancid hamlet]

idk

like

how would one check

[storm imp]

pick your laptop up
look at what you had it set on

[rancid hamlet]

oh lol

i thought you meant what is the thermal throttling limit set at

its on a table

[storm imp]

see if you can lift it up off the table a bit so more air can get under it. that should help with temps some, but otherwise idk what to suggest.

[rancid hamlet]

i turned my fan on lol

i can see if i can set it on anything

[storm imp]

The laptop fan?

[rancid hamlet]

the ceiling fan

this is

the wildest setup ever

[storm imp]

that's not gonna do anything

[rancid hamlet]

my 2k curved monitor is being raised on a cardboard box

and my gaming laptop is being raised on an empty moto phone box and a stack of Quiddler TM cards

[storm imp]

Just one side, or is it still fully sitting on it?

[rancid hamlet]

The phone box raises one side and the cards raise the other

[storm imp]

ah, so still letting air under the laptop (unless one of them still covers the vent).

[rancid hamlet]

Peak gaming setup tbh

[carmine bobcat]

Does anyone have any idea.

[storm imp]

yeah, not sure what to say other than you've got a crappy laptop

[rancid hamlet]

Mayhaps?

Idk lol, it runs other games fine

[storm imp]

if you're up for it and if it's possible on that laptop, you could try undervolting it to see if that lowers the temps enough.

[rancid hamlet]

Except for satisfactory

[storm imp]

I couldn't tell you how to do it, though.

[storm imp]

which other games?

[rancid hamlet]

I've thought about it, and unsure if I want to

[rancid hamlet]

I have the same issue with satisfactory

That's about it I think

Actually, not quite the same issue, in satisfactory it'll randomly start lagging and stay lagging

Though I don't play super intensive games

[storm imp]

so anything that actually gives the laptop a full load cooks it

[rancid hamlet]

Maybe lol

[storm imp]

in summary, blame it on the crappy laptop unless you're up for undervolting.

[rancid hamlet]

The only other intensive game I really play is modded mc which it runs with like no problem

But that's not that bad

https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/alienware-m15-r3-laptop/alienware-m15r3-setup-specs/dimensions-and-weight?guid=guid-a2ec334b-aeb0-402e-a579-9d896d8c2df0&lang=en-us

This is the laptop

[rancid hamlet]

Rip

I have heard alienwares have bad temps

At least I have an answer now, thank you so much

[storm imp]

their desktops are likely worse, but only because laptops all have bad temps so the comparison isn't as bad.

[rancid hamlet]

Rip

That does make sense though, a desktop would naturally be better

I mean

Wait that's the opposite of what you're saying lol

But you know what I mean

[storm imp]

except their desktops are still throttling if you give them a load iirc

[rancid hamlet]

Maybe I'll look into undervolting

[storm imp]

crappy coolers and almost no airflow

[rancid hamlet]

alienware L

[storm imp]

delL

[rare vessel]

New here to Discord. Question - how can a would-be writer get an audience here with UWE developers?

[native mauve]

I'm back

[native mauve]

I dunno never done it to specific even for me a Tumblr user

Ight ima see what pukicho posted

[craggy cove]

this game is better than original subnautica ngl

10/10 :)))

[craggy cove]

how to unlock that build thing

[clever crow]

u need to find a broken one.
in twisty bridges, delta or zero outposts

[viral knot]

subnautica sounds giving me brain damage

i've found this ||alien portal or something where that alien signal was||

nah man this is some kind of trap for sure

i ain't going in there💀

this doesn't look friendly

[bold monolith]

Friendly or not, it is necessary to progress the story.

[viral knot]

well i do guess i have to go in there to progress but i hope this is not some kind of trap

[bold monolith]

Also, I think it's better for you to go there early.

[viral knot]

also i probably will have to leavemy sea truck there

deep down

[bold monolith]

If you go there late, you'll miss a bit.

[viral knot]

well, i do have 5h in game

i guess i'll go there

what about my sea truck? i can not take it with me?

||ofc jumpscare, i didnt expect a god damn aliens to start talking||

[eternal garnet]

are you where he ||asks for storage?||

[tidal trail]

is it still not possible putting own mp3 music to play inside game ?

[eternal garnet]

it is on PC

put real, actual mp3s in Music\Unknown worlds\Subnautica

windows music folder

[tidal trail]

what does it mean real actual ??

[eternal garnet]

not renamed weird files

[tidal trail]

they type bar said "MP3 Format Sound", legit can play with windows default player or VLC or even smartphone

[eternal garnet]

vlc will play Anything though

[tidal trail]

yeah i know, smartphone too

[eternal garnet]

Just try. Don't even need to restart BZ

[bold monolith]

meatie meant that people think they'll have a mp3 just by renaming the extension of another sound format.

Which isn't true.

[tidal trail]

is there any software i can test it ?

[eternal garnet]

yes, seen that often. "look at mee, I can convert to mp3 in explorer"

[eternal garnet]

yes, Below Zero

[bold monolith]

As said, just place them in the folder and if they're really mp3(s) they'll work.

[tidal trail]

hahah, ok i'll look into it now

[bold monolith]

The wiki needs an update about the last part.

[viral knot]

||he's in my head, transfer complete||

[eternal garnet]

you let a sus alien touch your brain?

[viral knot]

i want him out

[eternal garnet]

yes, fine. That's a late game thing though

[viral knot]

can this weird mf, in the same canyon the alien thing is, kill me?

[eternal garnet]

you can't use replacement bad words either

you have been told this

And yes

[viral knot]

hm?

i just misplaced the coma

oh you mean "mf" , sorry then

i'd like to go there as i see a lot of sea truck fabricator module components

[eternal garnet]

yes, go there

[viral knot]

but the guy

and it is over 300m deep so my sea truck can't go below that

[fresh solstice]

Completed Subnautica yesterday, time to play below Zero

[next current]

Have fun!

[viral knot]

from what i know i can say, the deeper you go, the better you find

and it gets more dangerous i guess

craft better o2 „bottles” ||sorry i am not running the game in english so i dont know some english names||

find sea glide components so you move around faster

[next current]

Yes. Definitely. Absolutely.

The Data box for its blueprint is towards the bottom of the Twisty Bridges at around 200m

You'll know the tech site where it's located when you see it.

The biome where you got the High Capacity Tank blueprint.

[viral knot]

thats absolutely enough to go deep down

[viral knot]

good

you got enough diamonds to make seatruck upgrade

[lime grove]

which one

deep lilypads

[eternal garnet]

near the island

Delta. it's south. North is volcano and the small moon

Why there? It's central to the map

[tame agate]

in this game do I have to wait for events to happen so I can move on with the story or do I have to trigger events to move on with the story (if that makes sense)

[worldly condor]

Just keep exploring yk, and the storyline will come to u

Just keep going to beacons that pop up

Like the new ones

[tame agate]

my game did not save

uhgg

[eternal garnet]

yes

btw, walk up there. ignore any grumpy old recordings

yes

she's harmless

on the hill? no. If you see a map, scan it

[eternal garnet]

the other map in the game is way west in another base

[barren crown]

We eatin good tonight

[viral knot]

for the lord of cubes

looted all the aliens

[next current]

It's beautiful!

[dense wadi]

its behaving itself on the steam deck and not getting warm untill a blizzard or damgerous storm happens then it goes to hot same with if i encounter any large cretures such as the leviathan or other large sized creatures in the ocean or on land like the worm

[barren crown]

Anyone know if the ice worm ever actually attacks the player

[carmine bobcat]

do you mean the one that drills under the ice and then jumps out? bc yes it does

[little haven]

The ice worm can yeah.

[barren crown]

It never attacks me though, it just comes out the ice and goes back under

[carmine bobcat]

then you are either out of their range or lucky
anyway be careful, they can attack and kill

[little haven]

I got really lucky when I was having to go through a can of worms without a cold suit bc of speedrunning and I was super close to turning into a popsicle.

[barren crown]

Might have been because of my prawn suit but idk if that changes anything

[carmine bobcat]

you can just use a prawnsuit to walk all the way
it does cost a lot of energy but keeps you warm
and if you are patient and have the termal upgrade you can recharge it a bit

[carmine bobcat]

not sure anymore if that stops them from attacking you completly

[little haven]

Prawn can't fit through a confined space shortcut needed for speedrun.

But it is a good alternative to cold suit.

Seatruck: || Cyclops lite edition ||

Prawn suit: Og stats

|| Snowfox: Seamoth land edition ||

[barren crown]

Seatruck with all the modules is so useful but sucks cus it’s so slow and way too long to fit anywhere

[carmine bobcat]

i actually hated the ||snowfox||, i don't remember why but i instantly stored it in a locker after a testdrive and then never touched it again
seatruck was the ||not-so-good-cyclops||, can agree with that

[little haven]

Honestly I only just used the seatruck and prawn dock.

If the || snowfox || could go in water too I bet a lot would of liked it more

[carmine bobcat]

All right this might sound like a dumb question but I'm new to the whole subnautica below zero experience I'm getting the hang of it but I need to know how a nuclear reactor works I'm afraid that it might blow up

So I don't want to do something wrong because again I'm scared of it blowing up and destroying half of my base

[storm imp]

build it
place nuclear rods in it
VRRMVRRM noises intensfy
profit

[clever crow]

it won't. the suspense is broken.

[carmine bobcat]

Oh okay cool like I said I know bit of a dumb question but never played this game before I've watched other people play it but none of them have ever built a nuclear reactor

[clever crow]

you put in up to 4 rods, they will produce a ton of energy and fast. you cannot take them out until they are depleted (became grey). you can decunstruct the reactor at any point but all rods inside it will be lost. when the rod is depleted, it's useless. regular trash can won't destroy it, so u need a nuclear trash can (but u can store them too if u want)

[carmine bobcat]

Oh okay cool so definitely 10 times better than the buyer reactor that I have

But I assume it takes forever for the rods to be depleted so hopefully I won't have to make too many

[clever crow]

i abuse water filtration stations, i wasted like 5 already

[carmine bobcat]

i love nuclear reactors
in both BZ and normal SN i had a big room with 4 completly filled nuclear reactors

[carmine bobcat]

Damn I feel poor I only have one LOL

[clever crow]

i need to repost my thing again for the 10th time to show off

[carmine bobcat]

You guys weren't kidding this thing does give you a lot of power and quick didn't have enough for a fourth rod unfortunately

[safe sun]

How stable is that mod, Livid?

[carmine bobcat]

I need help again how do I get the nuclear waste bin I thought I would have gotten it when I unlocked the nuclear reactor but I didn't

[regal patio]

everything is running well tbf

vehicles, creatures, and story currently unsynced

hes currently working on vehicle syncing, seen some clips of it and its going well

[safe sun]

Gotcha

[sturdy hedge]

is there any way to get my snowfox back

it fell through the floor

[storm imp]

it's a snowfox, why bother?

[sturdy hedge]

the vehicl

i just drove into a massive area with no nearby caves and i didnt brng any heat or cold suit and i was using it for heat

[storm imp]

ah

well nonetheless the prawn is still better.

[sturdy hedge]

i dont have it lol

[safe sun]

Man just answer his question LJ lol

[sturdy hedge]

i reloaded my save but i got a clip of it falling

[storm imp]

well I don't have an answer

[regal patio]

i can invite you to the server if you want

[sturdy hedge]

i checked the area nearby and i found out the only way to get it back was to also clip through the floor

[safe sun]

If it fell through the floor then no, there isn't a way to get it without using console commands.

[regal patio]

its currently in closed alpha though.

[sturdy hedge]

aw man

[safe sun]

Nah I'm good, was just curious. Thanks though.

[regal patio]

its being developed by 1 guy suprisngly

he gonna have a fun time syncing creatures fr

[sturdy hedge]

do hostile entities spawn in the world edge??

also is the world edge and void the same

or seperate areas

[worldly condor]

Just live for a while it’ll go away

[clever crow]

you need to swim through the exact point it's at. if you got signal after you already visited it, u need to do it again.

[carmine bobcat]

Also is there a place where I can post photos of my base because I'm kind of proud of how it looks I mean it's not finished but all the essentials are there

[deep kettle]

We have #🏠awesome-bases 😄

[carmine bobcat]

Oh lol yeah I'm new to the server still trying to figure out what channels are for what

[vast idol]

My unmotivated bum giving up after not even finishing decorating a room

[ocean merlin]

I am just so bewildered by my reversed bumpers bug I just reported

just cause like

my controller and the game works just as great as it did before tonight otherwise

literally everything else on the controller does what it should. It's just the bumpers

hopefully the devs fix it

[fresh yacht]

why cant i place light sticks on foundations

[broken badge]

Idk but it’s a bit annoying

[fast tangle]

My first and last experience with snowfox is also like this. I hated it, the much time i put into crafting it the faster it gets destroyed. If it can hower over water it would be fun, then I would love driving it.

[fast tangle]

I don't say Snowfox is a Seamoth land edition. Instead it's Seaglide land edition. Cause it's battery depletes faster, and it's pickable.

[sturdy hedge]

how to remove hud??

also if i do does it disable acheivements

[nocturne sable]

is below zero as good as subnautica? im just asking because im thinking about buying it

[sturdy hedge]

imo it isnt as scary as subnautica but its still really fun and pretty close in how good it is to subnautica

[worldly condor]

Imo not rlly, but it’s a rlly fun game regardless

[carmine bobcat]

yeh, can only agree with that, would be a lot of fun

[fast tangle]

Yeh, also if the game allows us to change it's battery midair, no damage bar, and while piloting hypothermia still a thing. Then it would be straight counterpart to seaglide, just on land. But it's tries to be half seaglide half seamoth thing and turns out to be non of it.

[barren crown]

The total charge of all my ion cubes combined is 11,100,000

[modest carbon]

Interesting

I have a question

I have a differend disc for below zero on my ps4 because its rented from library and im probs getting one for myself someday so will my progress be saved in the ps4 or will it be totally new on the new disc?

[eternal garnet]

not knowing ps4, i'd say the save likely stays

[carmine bobcat]

I use PS4, and sadly I don't think it will

At least in other games doesn't happen that, maybe try uploading all your progress to the cloud, and once you buy your new disc try downloading to it, I've tried that with other games and hasn't worked, so I don't think it will work for you

[barren crown]

Anyone know where I make the snowfox?

[clever crow]

on a snowfox pad

the circular thing

[barren crown]

Oh ok thanks

[clever crow]

you can scan one at phi

[eternal garnet]

The pad is self powering. No base needed. Put it where you drive

[barren crown]

I cant place it anywhere, is it supposed to go in or on the water?

[eternal garnet]

land, flat. Not an ice float

[modest carbon]

How can i get creepwine seed clusters and creepwine?

Theres always symbiotes or the freezefish thingy

[barren atlas]

cut the creepvine, or swim to the seed clusters, and collect them by picking them up

[eternal garnet]

you could get some clusters, plant your own

[clever crow]

go to other kelp places?

[modest carbon]

I cant take them, and i dont have a knife because i cant get the clusters or the creepwine

[barren atlas]

swim up to the yellow thingys on the tall kelp, then pick up the “Creepvine Seed Clusters”

[clever crow]

go to any kelp with red berries, take some, turn around, go home, craft a knife

[barren atlas]

yes

[modest carbon]

It doesnt let me

[clever crow]

then go to place without simbiotes and freeze fish, collect berries there

[modest carbon]

Bro theyre red tho

[modest carbon]

I died because of a sea monkey...

[eternal garnet]

deadly, cute monkeys

if you hide your tool they can't take it (PC: E)

[modest carbon]

Hide where?

I didnt even have it equipped

[eternal garnet]

they only take what you hold. Also they stop taking soon

[steel stream]

I did the same thing: started game on a library disk and later bought the game on disk. Could continue the same save (and yes, ps4)

I think you can also check your ps4 storage and see what games have save files stored in the system hard drive (or extended save space usb drive)

[worldly holly]

I hope future and or thios subnautica becomes open more to modding
like new buildables or steam workshop implement
its a singleplayer game so why not

[modest carbon]

Subnautica is a very great game in my opinion, alot to research and adventure

But its sometimes distressing

[wraith ivy]

i built 30 I compartments just to connect my kelp forest base to the purple vents. what do yall think about that

[eternal garnet]

I think that's a lot of running

[wraith ivy]

it took me 5 hours

back to back getting titanium for my bulkhead and the compartments

[modest carbon]

I like and hate sea monkeys

And i wont go to the kelp forest under the big ice chunkc thing, theres the freezefish whatever and symbiotes

[eternal garnet]

oh dear. You know those are not nearly the worst creatures?

Maybe you'd be happier with custom game mode, turn creature aggression off

You can change mode mid game, but won't get more achievements

[modest carbon]

I wont, and im playing on freedom tho

I have met alot of enemy creatures in the game

But mostly in normal subnautica

[barren crown]

Just got the “proceed with caution. A leviathan class creature is near”, wish me luck

[wraith ivy]

i used to hate them but yesterday they brought me salt and i needed that so i love them now

[wraith ivy]

i never got that whenever i got near a chelicerate nor glow whale or ventgarden

does it only happen with shadow leviathan

[wraith ivy]

those things that freeze u by shooting you are called brinewings

[modest carbon]

Ohh

Thanks

[wraith ivy]

they are like pengwings but freeze you idk if they are defensive or hostile tho

[modest carbon]

They seem hostile

[wraith ivy]

lemme check the wiki rq

[barren crown]

Nearly died but I made it

[modest carbon]

Like pengwings?? Bro that creature didnt look anything like pengwings

[modest carbon]

Whatthat

[barren crown]

Yeah I think it does

[wraith ivy]

its “aggressive” but dont say hostile

[wraith ivy]

well it has wing in the name so im assuming

[wraith ivy]

oh alr

also funny thing yesterday i kept zapping a chelicerate until it let me scan it

took about 5 zaps

[modest carbon]

Doesnt look anything like a pengwing

[wraith ivy]

i thing its supposed to be a penguin tho

[modest carbon]

Its attitude is aggressive

[wraith ivy]

and they swim like pengwings

so im assuming they are related to it

[modest carbon]

It has one wing in its back

Its smaller than a pengwing i think

[wraith ivy]

ye it is

[eternal garnet]

if frozen, you can infact break free. dont just lie there and die

[wraith ivy]

i spam click

i wish ventgardens were bigger so building a base would be easier

[modest carbon]

I didnt know what to do when it attacked me

I just waited for it to unfreeze

[wraith ivy]

where u guys recommend getting seatruck modules i mainly search the purple vents

[eternal garnet]

they aren't random, they are hand placed. Deep twisty has two. Purple vents, lilypads, that should cover them all

[wraith ivy]

ok

[sturdy hedge]

i mainly dont want to encounter the shadow leviathan because when i think im safe it clips through a wall and demolishes my seatruck or when i perimeter defense it my game lags and it keeps attacking my seatruck

[sturdy hedge]

does bz have a stasis rifle??

[broken badge]

Well two types. But the amount of each kind in say, deep twisty, isn’t set. I remember asking about this. Because sometimes you will find more storage module fragments than fabricator module fragments or vice versa

One module you won’t find fragments for, you have to unlock a different way

[next current]

No. It was cut for being too overpowered.

[carmine bobcat]

Can someone help me out. I was watching jackcepticeye do his playthrough of the early access and he saw the sea emperors like way out in the distance are they still in the game to this day or did they get taken out?

[vapid kestrel]

That was a very early version, they got cut after the story changed

[carmine bobcat]

Thats lame 😦 i would love to see the babys i helped free in my good ol sea truck lol

[remote geyser]

there's something special about subnautica below zero

it's so calming and relaxing and beautiful

reminds me of the oceans of planet earth

[next current]

It's cold.

[willow topaz]

Does anyone else think that snow stalkers were originally going to be tameable? Because there is a lot of strange things suggesting this idea

[bold monolith]

Like the sowstalker's fruit?

[willow topaz]

Yes and a few other things

[dry obsidian]

Preston’s delight?

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[dry obsidian]

Yay 😀

[willow topaz]

And how Margherita has a tamed snow stalker

Sorry I spelt her name wrong btw

[sleek timber]

it's also wet

[valid compass]

finished below zero yesterday, and man, ||AL-AN is cool|| XD

also why is lead so difficult to find ><

[vivid tapir]

I am convinced they made a specific code for lead to have a lower drop chance than any other minerals

[valid compass]

same lolol I had a whole lot of everything but lead. Was trying to build multiple observatories around my base but stopped cuz getting lead was becoming a hassle (required for enameled glass)

[vivid tapir]

bro i would come back with like one lead after a trip so long i forgot what time it is

and like everything need lead

[carmine bobcat]

are body caches in multiple places or all in one place

[eternal garnet]

there are 3, hidden, and only one with a beacon

[valid compass]

I used it just for the upgrades and other important things and left out the rest, still left with 1 lead and a dream

[carmine bobcat]

so there are more than 1 alien houses that contains the body caches?

[eternal garnet]

3 body parts, 3 caches

[valid compass]

do lead deposits even exist or was I just very unlucky with finding any?

[eternal garnet]

yes. Best to use scanner room, or the hand scanner (meh. range 10m)

scan Galena

[valid compass]

hand scanner felt more like a hand scammer XD

[eternal garnet]

yep it's not great. Not entirely useless

[valid compass]

it can be good for tight caves I guess, but can do without it too

[vivid tapir]

after making all of the stuffs in order to make another, i am left with 1 lead and the item requires 2

[valid compass]

noooo

1 lead and a dream

[vivid tapir]

perfectly encapsulate my first time crafting the sea truck

using all my lead to craft the mvb and then the sea truck require 3 lead

just one ways nature tests us once more

[vivid tapir]

indeed

[valid compass]

I was mean to lead in subnautica 1 cuz it wasn't that difficult to get it

here we are in the 2nd getting happy to even get 1 XD

[eternal garnet]

If you got alan, and pin only a lead item, monkeys give you 50% lead.

[vivid tapir]

i am wondering if i should progress the story or keep crafting and exploring

[valid compass]

did I understand that correctly, monkeys give you items based on what you pin?

[eternal garnet]

yeeeeees

theory: Alan talks to them

[valid compass]

wooah

I was trying to get them to work with me for so long, thought dropping things in their nest was a way to go xD but ofc, it didn't work

[vivid tapir]

maybe he was just a scientist that really likes sea monkeys

[valid compass]

they went from being annoying to being one of the favourites

[vivid tapir]

i still hate them

[valid compass]

why xD

[vivid tapir]

the only creature i respect is the rock crushers or whatever they call

[eternal garnet]

so pin a diamond or lead item, and stop hating

[vivid tapir]

fine

[eternal garnet]

they try to mine your face though

[vivid tapir]

only if you hit them

[eternal garnet]

or get near

[valid compass]

even if I was full on titanium I would still take a titanium if they offered it to me

[wraith arch]

ok, I just finished BZ yesterday, and I wanna be brutally honest here with a few thoughts (spoilers ahead)

i 'm a massive fan of the first game; it's my second favourite game, and i was heavily active in the UWE forums back in 2016/2017

however i was honestly not that excited for BZ when it was announced, nor was I active in the forums during its early access phase, but I will explain why in my concluding remarks, first lemme start with what i like about BZ

the quality of life upgrades in basebuilding are genuinely the highlight of the game (although now that is sort of undermined by the living large update for the first game, but still gotta respect the origins)

many of the biomes are pretty, the sounds are decent, the flora biodiversity is excellent

and a hot take: I actually kinda like the land parts, but I think it's because I made it entirely on foot without the snowfox (which I will get to later), which honestly increased the tension for me

but now for my negatives, starting with visuals

the game overall is way too damn bright; every time I'd go up for air I would be blinded by the surface light, so much so that I could not see my HUD at all

all of the biomes also have their ambient brightness turned up, even at night, which means that a light is basically never needed, which drastically reduces the fear factor from the first game that was considerably darker with the exception of the lost river

I also noticed two types of biomes underwater: the interesting ones are way too cramped with details in order to build a good base, and the others just straight up look unfinished and stretched out with large featureless areas of barren seabed

the biodiversity in the fauna is also lacking, in the first game many biomes had fauna specific to them, but here the brute sharks, cryptosuchids, squid sharks, glow whales etc... are just copy pasted in several biomes, which makes them feel way less unique

the volumes for the sounds are also all over the place, why are the cryptosuchids way louder than the chelicerates?

now for gameplay; I beat the game without ever even building a seatruck, so while I kinda like the idea of it basically being a fusion of the seamoth & cyclops, it just looks poorly executed

the snowfox is genuinely one of, if not the worst addition to the game by far, good luck not getting motion sickness on this joke of a vehicle with awful controls ||and worse interactions with the iceworms||

I also HATE the fact that there is no stasis rifle in the game, that combined with the fact that every single animal swims away after you hit it makes it impossible to scan the larger ones (I will lean more into this point in my conclusion)

finally for gameplay, the tension from the first game is just not there in BZ for a few reasons: the biomes are bright enough to see everything without a light, the o2 plants are too overabundant and overused so you're never fearful of losing o2 when diving deeper, ||and the borderline buggy iceworms & unavoidable shadow leviathans make you realise how harmless they actually are which desensitises the player to them||

I won't talk much about the story, so here's my main complaints; I dislike the new PDA voice, the dialogue is cringe and overly present (like, Robin frequently interrupts listening to a PDA recording if you enter a room she'll comment on), the five main characters are laughably awful and the plot is absolute nonsense

the story also makes the gameplay worse by handholding the player when it gives you maps of the areas and like 15 different beacon markers to places, instead of letting you explore at your own pace

I have two main points to state for my conclusion

[fresh solstice]

So i started this saturday iirc, I have found ||Al-an and some other blueprints, I assume my goal is to find these bases but idk the different signs/logos||

[wraith arch]

I actually believe the idea for BZ was doomed for mediocrity from the very start because of a very technical problem: DLC is not capable of going through an early access phase, which was unfortunetely the plan for BZ, so the devs had to create a seperate game page for it
unfortunately, a new game with DLC-amount of content wouldn't really justify its own existence, so I feel like UWE felt forced to add more and more until there was just the bare minimum to justify it as its own game, and the devs lost a lot of passion in that process instead of sticking to the original plan of keeping it small

[safe sun]

Those last two points are completely wrong but okay.

[wraith arch]

that was only the first point

[eternal garnet]

The plan to make a DLC was dropped super early. So it shouldn't have affected the game

[safe sun]

Correct, it didn't affect the development process at all.

[wraith arch]

well either way there was something I feel made the devs lose passion, which lead to many part of the game looking and feeling unfinished (particularly the empty biomes i mentioned above)

my second point leans more into why I hate the absence of a stasis rifle and the handholding of the player with directions (and this will be my real hot take, even though it shouldn't be)

[vivid tapir]

omg i was in the crystal caves and i had no water, my sea truck was hitting every single crystal, and somehow i got back alive in multiple pieces

[wraith arch]

while I love the first game, I acknowledge that it was made for the wrong reasons (yes I am talking about what Charlie Cleveland said was his inspiration for making Subnautica in the first place, if you don't know just google it, I won't talk about it but will just comment that it's really stupid)

that idea could have easily led to a game that forces the player into doing specifically what the devs wanted, but miraculously that is not what happened with the first Subnautica, there was a massive emphasis on the player's freedom in this fantastic world

[safe sun]

What are you talking about

[wraith arch]

||I'm talking about the third paragraph in this section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnautica#Development||

my point is that instead of that bleeding into the first game, it bled into the second game with the removal of the stasis rifle

[safe sun]

lol

[wraith arch]

I essentially see that as the devs doing something that actively worsens the game for everyone because they did not agree with the actions of some of their players

[eternal garnet]

removal of a minor nonvital tool did not change anything at all. Also, it's available with a cheat: item stasisrifle

[wraith arch]

the stasis rifle is not a "minor nonvital tool", it's essential in order to scan certain large and fast fauna, plus you're reaching with it being only available with cheats

idk about you, but I greatly enjoy scanning and reading about the biodiversity in both games, it's one of the things I like doing the most because I like biology

[deep kettle]

You do realise that they gave a bunch of options to murder things in both games right? They could have easily said "nothing is killable". They did not despite what they believe in. Just because they remove the stasis rifle the game is suddenly a lot worse? Like what :p

[wraith arch]

well then why remove the stasis rifle at all? you're not making any sense

[deep kettle]

Because it's their game and they felt like it was genuinely better without? That doesn't mean there are no other options to kill things if you want to. Killing is absolutely not the main focus of the game in the slightest but is still there if you want it.

[eternal garnet]

Everything (minus live worm, technical reasons) is still scannable, some are quite a challenge though.

Challenge is fun

The purpose of the dead worm is scanning

[wraith arch]

I'm not talking about killing, I'm talking about scanning

[safe sun]

See meatie's comment.

[wraith arch]

"quite a challenge" is a serious understatement, especially for the ||shadow leviathan, because of its movement patterns||

[eternal garnet]

I swam above it, as its "mouth" is on the bottom. I did it

[clever crow]

get gud (with scanning without the rifle)

[eternal garnet]

In here, you will see a lot of defending of a game they love. Expect this, and be fine

[wraith arch]

but it's not just the lack of the stasis rifle, it's that combined with the fact that every single animal swims away after you hit it, in the first game there were a few whose AI's would strike back at you, so they'd stick around for much longer

[valid compass]

I think comparing this game to the first one completely demeans it. The first one was hands down a masterpiece, but the 2nd one isn't really that bad. Its really fun in its own way. The story imo is not that good. ||I don't understand why Sam, who is the main focus of the protagonist, can be completely ignored. And how Marguerit survives years with Kharaa (maybe I missed info here). But I absolutely love that we get to know more about the Precursors and that we get in their world. Makes me hype up for Subnautica 3 incase it resumes there.||

Scanning wasn't really a problem honestly. ||Shadow Leviathan|| can be scanned by being sneaky. I died the first time cuz I went head on, the second time being a bit sneaky worked wonders, but I guess theres a little bit of luck involved

[safe sun]

Well then stop hitting them

[bold monolith]

The removal of the stasis was a good thing. The stasis rifle turns threats into dummies. It was overpowered and was removed for this sole reason. There are still overpowered items in this game, like the perimeter defense, but the leviathans grabbing you should have be randomized to not happen all the time.

[wraith arch]

that randomisation would have been a simple solution to not desentitise the player to the dangers, i agree

but i still thouroughly disagree with the removal of the stasis rifle as a good thing, particularly if the various dangerous fauna AI's all act the same

[wraith arch]

the story is a lot worse than you say it is imho

[clever crow]

grav torpedoes.

[next current]

Your opinion is your opinion, pal.

Also, if you really want to scan creatures the easy way, just equip the Reinforced Dive Suit and have a ton of medkits on you. It's really weird that medkits just instantly gives you +50 health back.

[safe sun]

That's not weird! If you eat a medkit in real life it'll give you +50 health as well. Silly Slicey.

[next current]

I've never tried it. Tonight is going to be an interesting experience.

[deep kettle]

Tuna trying to kill Slicey lol

[lime grove]

which parts of the medkit do i have to eat

[next current]

Probably the Fiber Mesh.

To be fair, those Creepvine Samples are edible. So... if you out 2 and 2 together, you'll likely get 3 in some scenarios.

[eternal garnet]

it is high in fiber. About 97%

[vivid tapir]

Consume the delicate medkit cuisine

[eternal garnet]

you assume the medkits are eaten, for some reason. I never assumed that

[deep kettle]

Petition for medkits to give you a little bit of food and water.

[vivid tapir]

What if you absorbed it like a non collision object

It just become a chunk of you

[wraith arch]

aight screw it, here's a review video that summarises a few of my thoughts ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-AWFjBONp8|| (story complaints start at 41:35)

[fast tangle]

The story had potential, but it's feels unpolished and rushed wherever I look. Playing it feels it still in early access and will add few more story elements later on with full release. But sadly it was a full release.

[eternal garnet]

It did suffer quite a bit from the pandemic

[fast tangle]

And story changing decision there too, kinda heartbreaking.

[eternal garnet]

yes

[viral knot]

when is the planned release date for subnautica 3?

[eternal garnet]

none

And the name is probably incorrect

[viral knot]

i do realise that

it's just third subnautica

[viral knot]

I heard that it is planned to release by the end of 2023

[wraith arch]

this is the first i've heard of plans for a third game, will there be an early access phase?

[storm imp]

If it follows the trend of sn and bz, most likely, but not guaranteed.

[eternal garnet]

Nothing said, but since EA has worked well, I should think so

[bold monolith]

Rumors.

False ones.

[viral knot]

youtube

[eternal garnet]

sounds false to me. too short time

[wraith arch]

EA worked amazingly well for the first game, but not so much for the second because of my points above

also call me cynical if you like, but nowadays i seriously dislike the core idea of EA

Subnautica was the first and only early access game I ever bought before full release, and I see it as a miracle of a game that survived this, as an exception of the rule among early access for other games

[clever crow]

before playing bz i heard all the criticism and opinions. after playing bz i'm aware of its flaws. i'm also aware that most people who make long rant vids about bz are drama queens

[wraith arch]

see, in the early days, early access used to mean that developers would pay people to try their games before release in order to get noteriety and feedback

until one genius thought "wait a second, why are we paying ppl to play our stuff?" ; and so the double-edged sword of modern early access was born: you either got severely lucky with Subnautica, or you got severely bamboozled with We Happy Few

[clever crow]

#off-topic

[wraith arch]

yeah this is veering off topic, sorry

[clever crow]

i like putting pics like these into picture frames

[vivid tapir]

then you look down

[clever crow]

and there are my pet pinnacarids staring at me

[vivid tapir]

i am now gonna start a farm

[vivid tapir]

funny

i just drove past them

[viral knot]

they are so cute

[vivid tapir]

i just realized

how bad i am at naming places

[eternal garnet]

does that mean you have a Kevin Beacon?

[clever crow]

(who is bacon?)

[atomic blade]

What the heck is this thing and how do I use it?

[vivid tapir]

i forgor the name of the little area with the pink flower under the lilypad biome

[eternal garnet]

deep lilypads, or flowering spores

[vivid tapir]

flowering spores

[eternal garnet]

those two are the same place

[vivid tapir]

yea i dont know the name for both

[viral knot]

i'd really like to go there but man

he almost ate me

again i almost died

i think he stuck

[eternal garnet]

you gotta go there: Two truck modules, diamond, lithium

[viral knot]

im gonna die

[viral knot]

i need a therapist, i'm gonna loose my mind in here

haha he really is stuck lmao

[eternal garnet]

This actually catches fish as you drive

[viral knot]

really wanted to kill me now he got what he deserves, though there is second one i think

[viral knot]

free fish

im scared to go there

[eternal garnet]

Save, this increases confidence. Also., dying isn't so bad in BZ

[viral knot]

there was definitely other same guy but i dont see him

[viral knot]

but does my inventory or backpack drop at the bottom of this cave?

and i do have some ion cubes so

yk, don't really wanna loose them

[eternal garnet]

You only lose what's new since you left the truck. Yes it drops and falls

[viral knot]

im 100% gonna die and im scared that this guy might free himself any time

[eternal garnet]

So if you exit and die, you lose nothing

[viral knot]

wait i can increase health after i take damage with this thing uhhh forgot how it was in english

[eternal garnet]

But fresh hunger and water

use medkits.

[viral knot]

and i have to go back here for my sea truck

[viral knot]

oh yeah! med kit it was called

[eternal garnet]

or, just die. No you spawn in the truck

[viral knot]

can i?

didnt know that

[eternal garnet]

so dying is nearly a positive thing

[viral knot]

i'll give it a try, just need one sea truck fabricator module component to scan

[viral knot]

you see that on screenshot or is it just generally that they are there

[eternal garnet]

that is what's in deep twisty bridges

[viral knot]

i need diamond so i guess i have to go there, wish me luck

NAH

why the hell is he here

my man hit "unstuck" button💀

he's literally like 50 meters below me

@eternal garnet can this guy kill me in one "bite"

i wouldn't call that a bite tbh

🥲

[eternal garnet]

Not sure, but nearly

again, you lose nothing you didn't just pick up

[viral knot]

last time he did like 30 damage or something

maybe if i just change the location a little bit with sea truck

there is literally second one guarding the componenets

[viral knot]

ik but still, going there is scary

[eternal garnet]

scary is fun

[viral knot]

think i need to get used to it

otherwise i won't progress in the game lol

[eternal garnet]

exactly

[viral knot]

are you kidding me

i got other component fragment

bruuuuuh

i have 2 modules scanned 2/3

[atomic blade]

How do I attach it?

[eternal garnet]

it's possible to back up into it, but much better to use the top handle. Drive it onto the back of the truck

[viral knot]

||alan's first reaction when he heard music was like "the hell is this?"||

[eternal garnet]

also try: sleeping

[next current]

Also try ||Trivalving.||

[viral knot]

||now he told me about artifact X3||

[next current]

||Classic Architect move.||

[viral knot]

||he really wants his body||

also how do i attach sea truck modules

thank god i got some lithium in there

otherwise i wouldn't be able to make module, but still if i'll want a second one i'll have to go back there

[eternal garnet]

use the top handle instead of backing up

if you mean upgrade, there's a lid, left side

[viral knot]

no, storage module

nvm it was fabricator module

[viral knot]

thanks

😎 ❤️

now it is so much better, can i place some things on wall?

[atomic blade]

okay thanks

[viral knot]

where did you find that?

it might actually be very useful

[eternal garnet]

sorry you can't build in it. But there's a fabricator one

[tacit thorn]

cannot build in seatruck without mods.. Just get more modules to call it home.

[viral knot]

yeah i got it

can i place posters in there?

[next current]

Originally it was planned but that never saw the light of day so no.

[viral knot]

sad

i have one with keep calm and truck on

[next current]

Hell yeah!

[viral knot]

will i be able to make this somehow

i got one but i cant make it myself

[next current]

Actually yes.

[eternal garnet]

two different ways later, yes

[next current]

Oh yeah. I kinda forgot that Delta Station had a Large Filtered Water.

[viral knot]

yeah it does

[viral knot]

i guess i'll see in future

[viral knot]

yessir

[viral knot]

holy, i want that big room

[vivid tapir]

my base aint even that big

tbh, just liveable

[lime grove]

now put it in a bioreactor

[vivid tapir]

yes/

[viral knot]

my base is just one room with bunch of stuff and scan room

[vivid tapir]

i think ill head off for tonight

[vivid tapir]

i dont even have a scan room

1. i am lazy
2. i am lazy

[viral knot]

is it worth going on land without this thermal suit or something

because getting heat will be a problem if there will be no weird "heat flowers"

[eternal garnet]

sure. heat sources: any vehicle. Steam vents. Pepper fruits. Coffee. Caves. Water

[vivid tapir]

Yes

[eternal garnet]

the peppers grow locally

There are two land vehicles

[vivid tapir]

Yk funny story, this is my second playthrough cause the first one, I got really far and then when I'm heading to sleep, I left and forgot to hit save and lost 6 hours of work. I rage quit shortly after and swear to never play it again and yet here I am

[viral knot]

ohhh coffee, i think i can easily make that

[eternal garnet]

well, that's the worst alternative really

[viral knot]

also can i find any rooms in here?

[viral knot]

well

[viral knot]

and how do you make coffee in this machine?

[broken badge]

As mentioned there’s plenty of ways to stay warm. Coffee requires a thermos so yeah it’s not really the best way

[eternal garnet]

you need one thermos per coffee... this is what makes it a bit bad

[broken badge]

Many land areas have the fevered pepper plants those help a lot. You can even grab some to plant

[vivid tapir]

Insane

[eternal garnet]

please do plant peppers at home. most convenient biofuel

[broken badge]

Yeah ikr, instead of having coffee water where you eat the cup like in Subnautica lol (but it didn’t provide warmth so thermos makes sense)

[vivid tapir]

Omg I have to go on land again

Last time I was there I somehow got into the deadzone with no seatruck

[viral knot]

peppers?

[broken badge]

Wish we could plant more of the land plants, just for decor purposes

[vivid tapir]

I escaped

[eternal garnet]

Fevered peppers. Blue plant, pink fruit

[broken badge]

Yes fevered peppers

[viral knot]

wait can you send a pic? i do not have the game in english

[eternal garnet]

Grows in the shade on snowy land

[viral knot]

never seen that i think

[eternal garnet]

only in the west, on land. But also below the greenhouse

[viral knot]

where can i get on land

by looking on this map which i have in PDA

[eternal garnet]

from delta, go northwest, then west, spot the radio mast. dock there

[atomic blade]

Unsure, I'm sorry I wasn't helpful

[viral knot]

np

what's this at the top?

[eternal garnet]

aquarium module is found on top of the grass in lilypads biome

[next current]

Very good for those who play with the vegetarian diet setting on.

[eternal garnet]

purple is hidden base Zero

[vivid tapir]

And besides they can spawn randomly for different people

[viral knot]

oh you mean sea truck one

[eternal garnet]

yes

[eternal garnet]

Dock here

[viral knot]

you should probably put that in spoiler

[eternal garnet]

yes, but can't edit image now

[viral knot]

can you also mark the base?

[eternal garnet]

what base

[viral knot]

about where it is

drop pod

[eternal garnet]

pod is north, just below Zero

[viral knot]

can i get there just by keeping close to the land?

[eternal garnet]

the dock, yes. its not hidden, and has a radio mast

[broken badge]

Here’s where you want to dock, specifically

[eternal garnet]

land, and then walk west, you get a beacon for it

[viral knot]

thank you

[broken badge]

Took a pic to help people, just in this sort of case

[viral knot]

i'm scared of this giant snow creature

can i meet it there?

[broken badge]

Not there

[eternal garnet]

the really big one? no

[viral knot]

thank god

[viral knot]

yes the very big

[safe sun]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-frozen-olaf-hi-greeting-gif-17233794

I get it, he scares me too.

[eternal garnet]

Hang on to a flare you prob. will find around here. Use it to scare someone bitey here

[viral knot]

the funny bear

[viral knot]

i need a flare?

[eternal garnet]

indeed. Hold flare, don't throw

[broken badge]

You’ll likely see the bridge as you approach the area where the dock is, which looks like this

[next current]

Well I mean... you don't need it. It just makes getting through the area much easier.

[broken badge]

But it’s not extended as shown

[next current]

Nice bridge. Did you find that all on your own?

[broken badge]

The first time around? I think so, I didn’t use a lot of assistance. Mostly I had to look up where to find diamonds and where to find the rebreather, those sorts of things

[viral knot]

i love how sea truck can kind of jump out of water

uh?????

[eternal garnet]

the cable isn't important

[viral knot]

i cant locate myself

it is such a big storm i cant see no s-

[eternal garnet]

you are here

[viral knot]

what the

[next current]

Fair enough. The Rebreather is in a tricky location if you don't know where to search.

[viral knot]

thanks man

[next current]

I mean its data box is just there. In the middle of the Twisties.

[viral knot]

can you like click a button for the sea truck to dock or you just leave it there?

can i scan this weird jelly thing or will it kill me

[eternal garnet]

you just leave it. Never force it on land, that may get stuck

avoid the tentacles

[viral knot]

also i think the cable is something late game alien thingy

[eternal garnet]

no, it's purpose is a clue to find the dock, I think

[viral knot]

oh okay

how do i activate the bridge

anybody want to vc?

[next current]

There's a ruptured canister of Hydraulic Fluid next to the terminal. You'll want to scan it and craft a new one.

The ingredients are relatively easy to acquire.

[viral knot]

i did scan it

how do i get on other side?

[next current]

By making the Hydraulic Fluid you scanned.

Once the new canister is inserted, you'll be able to extend and retract the bridge.

[viral knot]

||alan seems to be happy||

can i find anything in here?

also how dangerous is the weather that pda tells you that you should seak shelter

also where is that ||phi robotic center||?

[eternal garnet]

Phi is green icon

[viral knot]

holy there is a ||big gate||

||can i get inside this gate||

[eternal garnet]

that's Phi, yes

[viral knot]

okay

there is a LOT in here

[viral knot]

can i scan this very big room?

[long sable]

I completed this game in 3 streams recently... Partly because I was so addicted
My second stream went on for 14 hours straight, which I hope I never have to repeat

Great job, devs - though there is ONE thing that got on my nerves. Spoilers for the northwestern area of the map.
||The ice worm's hitboxes seem to be rather glitchy. The audio also doesn't play properly at times. I was trying to scan one, waiting for it to pop out of the ground and then leaving my prawn suit to go up to it. My suit was at least 10 feet away, nowhere near touching it, when the worm returned into the ground (with no sound). This destroyed the suit, along with every upgrade and everything in its storage (several ion cubes, a snowfox, etc) and I had to remake it all. Great care was put into this creature's sound design, but the mechanics left much to be desired. Maybe this is just me being annoyed at losing progress from a glitchy interaction. Shrug~||

[eternal garnet]

There's a dead one northeast in the area. The live one cannot be scanned...

[viral knot]

is it worth going there further ?

[eternal garnet]

leave the beacon there

[viral knot]

there is one already

so i can come back there

i saw a lot of silver in here

and also alien thingy

should i return to base?

or search more?

i guess i'll return

[broken badge]

It’s animatronic. Doesn’t really have a “hitbox” per se

[long sable]

I'm aware

It does, however, have a hurtbox, which extends a bit too far

[broken badge]

Could’ve reloaded save to get your prawn back

[long sable]

I was quite miffed to find that I couldn't scan it, and that my suit went from 100% to 0% in seconds

Sadly I hadn't saved in a while

[broken badge]

Ahh

They can do 25% damage at a time

[long sable]

Funnily enough, I was in that area in my first play session, without a prawn - and ||I somehow managed to sprint all the way to the Architect skin cache and back, alive, surviving off nothing but peppers and avoiding the enemies||

[broken badge]

I go on foot, sometimes use snowfox

[long sable]

It was the first ||cache|| I found, and I had nothing guiding me. Even the map wasn't getting much use. I was just panic sprinting

I even got ||pinned by a Snow Stalker|| during the escapade, and I found ||the ice worm bones, scanning them,|| but not the thing next to them that would give me the fauna entry

THAT I found later... with my second prawn suit. >w>

||I also got out of bounds and explored the top of the glacier ||

[tacit thorn]

and they tend to hit twice - brust out, do 25%, then swing around for another 25%

[worldly condor]

Uk, your opinion is awfully similar to the one that the YouTuber ugly fish uses, with all the same points? No offense but it sounds more like someone else’s opinion rather than your own, unless u are him 😉.

Not that it’s rlly a problem ofc

[worldly condor]

Every adult I’ve seen survives on coffee, so it actually is necessary lol just what I’ve seen

[next current]

Not when the coffee is made of salt water!

[worldly condor]

Hmmm maybe

[alpine elbow]

First time I type here

hello

[next current]

Sup.

[sturdy hedge]

dirty bean watrer>

[clever crow]

mmm..

[viral knot]

I’d really love to see Cherlice or however it was called, but in a safe way

[clever crow]

camera drones?

[viral knot]

I do have one

But i’d rather like to see it in person because by drone it won’t be scary at all when i’m sitting safe in my sea truck or base far away

[clever crow]

only a tone of medkits makes it safe then

[worldly condor]

Observatory?

[fringe hedge]

I just began playing Subnautica below zero and i am playing it on hard-core difficulty first Play through with the only experience being playing the first game am i insane? 😂

[gilded pasture]

no I would say that below zero is a easy game.

[fringe hedge]

Hey i have a question is anyone else having problems with the PDA not playing the voice logs you ether pick up around the world or the ones you already have it won’t play the voices so i just have to read them i don’t really mind but i do prefer to listen to them instead idk if this is a common bug or not i’m playing on the ps5.

[carmine bobcat]

could some one dm me and watch my live stream on twitch one time and help me out with this game

im going to restart cause i left on my other world cause i was getting eaten by a shadow leviathon

leviathan

dm me please if someone wants to chill and maybe give me a few tips

[unkempt scroll]

Are glow whales good bioreactor fuel?

[sleek timber]

you monster

[unkempt scroll]

That does not answer my question.

[bold monolith]

Nothing that takes more than one slot is a good bioreactor fuel.

The glow whales give you 52.5 energy per slot.

One arctic peeper is 350.

The kelp root pustule is 700 but not renewable.

[unkempt scroll]

Alright. I guess arctic peepers will live for a bit longer.

Kinda wanted to replace them all with glow whales.

[bold monolith]

I just said that is very inefficient.

[west mountain]

From the plant-side, according to the list, small marble melons are the next best option with 280 per slot, also preston fruits are good too and easy to grow next to the reactor.

[unkempt scroll]

How do you even get the small marble melon?

[bold monolith]

You can't grow them so forget about it.

[unkempt scroll]

Yes. How did ||Dehasi|| crew grow them anyway?

[west mountain]

They might have had another planter, for example. I would have expected that the wall planter gives small marble melons and the growbed big ones. But thats wrong, you always get the big marble melon. So preston fruit it is then.

[viral knot]

Oh yes

[valid compass]

Jukebox is such a good addition to the game. I love hearing the faint beats underwater as you approach the base, a nice welcome hope it stays in the future Subanutica games

[west mountain]

And on PC you can add your own tracks.

[valid compass]

yeeep!

[unkempt scroll]

I only used it to play JukeBox one when reading PDA logs.

[valid compass]

I had it going 24/7 xD

[unkempt scroll]

Everything else just too intense to chill. And I dont want to miss out on BZ soundtrack.

[valid compass]

I didn't stay on the base for too long so didn't have the problem

[unkempt scroll]

Oh no. I mean BZ OST is playing when you do stuff outside your base too.

It wont if you use JukeBox though.

So I just never used it.

[valid compass]

ah, I didn't get it for outside stuffs. As you said, BZ soundtrack is good and didn't wanna miss out on it

• would have removed some horror vibes. Imagine going around ||Shadow Leviathan|| (or others) with the beeats

[carmine bobcat]

hey can anyone help me with bz

i have to restart and i havent played in a year alost

almost

[west mountain]

You can ask here and you will get answers

[carmine bobcat]

how do i get farther on land

once i got across the bridge thingg

[hexed maple]

[carmine bobcat]

alsp what should the first thing i do when i get in the game

[west mountain]

either you follow the path straight ahead or you turn left and take the upper path. Always continue north

[carmine bobcat]

im not sure how to start

[west mountain]

First things are to craft the basic tools and equipments and then explore further and further around your drop pod

[carmine bobcat]

ok

how do i find sea glide things

prints

[west mountain]

You have to build the scanner and then scan the fragments scattered around your drop pod. You need three scans

[unkempt scroll]

Imagine getting attacked by shadow leviathan when JukeBox one is playing lmao.
