[crimson quartz]

Oh shi-

[viral knot]

can it one shot kill me

[crimson quartz]

Yes.

[lime grove]

no

[crimson quartz]

What

[lime grove]

75 dmg

[crimson quartz]

Shadow devoured me and i had 100 hp

The game hates me

[remote geyser]

either bug or you have mistaken how much health you had left

[crimson quartz]

How can i mistake my hp bar

Can somebody remind me where the || mercury ship || is

[gritty nova]

||pink geyser has 2 there is 1 in the very green with the squid sharks||

[viral knot]

never going back in any hole in this biome

[hybrid sable]

Where can I find Crystalline Sulfur?

[next current]

Crashfish Pods.

They replaced Cave Sulphur.

[eternal garnet]

also on delta island

[hollow fern]

Little do they know…

[remote geyser]

yes you're never going back to any hole (it will kill you)

[civic idol]

remember when UW made an ender chest for BZ?

[slow parrot]

yeah, i never used it. i think you got the blueprint after ||scanning an architect artifact||

[civic idol]

when they first teased it - i made the joke "UW figured out how to make an ender chest."

[pine stirrup]

do you guys feel like BZ was underwhelming

[ancient flower]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

No. But I've seen a few have this issue

[dark night]

Some of the default settings are absolutely not what they should be IMO, like predator aggression. When I set it to 5, the AI didn't seem sluggish and stupid anymore, which was one of my only real complaints when getting BZ.

Generally speaking though BZ was never going to be Subnautica 2 - Subnautica was first and it did the most important things just as well as BZ, so there was not a sense of 'upgrade' - expansion yes, but upgrade no.

Additionally, BZ is designed with a different principle underlying. If you compare it to SN1, you'll be disappointed because it "fails" to do many things SN1 does quite well. The reality is that it does not fail because it was not designed to attempt in the first place. It's not a survival horror game; it's a survival adventure game.

I think they did a rather good job with explaining the alien technology and in continuing a story that was probably not intended to be continued when it was first written.

[ancient flower]

they definitely did an amazing job on the story considering it was entirely rewritten like 2 months before release

[dark night]

The only way I can think of that they could have amazed us all again just as much as SN1 would be making an entirely new game with a completely different game loop for the survival aspect.

Superterrica. A different suite of equipment, all new environments conceived from scratch, new and different travel mechanics, the whole nine yards.

And they may yet do something like this, but for now at least, deep diving exploration/adventure's flagship is for sure UWE's Subnautica series.

I'm actually super interested to learn what the key design principle behind SN3 will be.

[gritty nova]

Avelon is writing an essay

[dark night]

Thank you for acknowledging me.

[gritty nova]

no problem sir

[worldly condor]

#off-topic

[gritty nova]

i cant even say grilled cheese?

[worldly condor]

Nope

[eternal garnet]

you can, but big off topic images clutter us up here

[dark night]

Then I shall eat the grilled cheese, removing it from the clutter of this channel's history.

There, now everyone can see my essay.

[barren crown]

Bro I just tried spawning in 2000 chelicerates and idk why but it crashed my game

[eternal garnet]

nice to see an essay that doens't thump BZ into the ground with a mallet

[granite plover]

Where do i find snow fox fragments

[crimson quartz]

Spawning 2000 extremely enlarged shrimps crash your game? No way

[eternal garnet]

one in phi, marges living room, and scattered in the snow around phi

[gritty nova]

1 in ||anger issues lady's base|| and the rest is on the ||pengling's island||

[granite plover]

I think i forgot to take the spy ||pengling from marguerit base||

[eternal garnet]

theres another in phi

what you may not forget there, is the truck upgrade on the floor

[gritty nova]

isnt it on the desk?

[gritty nova]

meh who cares

[dark night]

🤔 Is it engine efficiency? I never found that one, though I think I did actually get the one on the floor/desk.

[eternal garnet]

no

[gritty nova]

its ||zap zap boi||

[dark night]

Ohh right, yeah. Got it both times in that case. 👍
Where is engine efficiency?

I did the whole thermal prawn swapping with the sea truck battery thing so it wasn't really relevant but still.

[gritty nova]

in monke nest

[eternal garnet]

not convinced efficiency is still ingame. But it could be

[gritty nova]

wait

effincency?

oh i though horsepower

yeah idk if that's in the game

prawnsuit without that is a pain

it feels like every 20th step is 1%

[dark night]

It shows up in creative so I figured it existed in-game somewhere, but I don't know.

[gritty nova]

btw since they reworked the prawn movement system they fixed a bug

my fav glitch

u need a grapling and a thrust upgrade

grapling far away on the floor

u will hear the prawn legs br TRTRTRTRTR with huge speeds

it like runs on the floor

[dark night]

You can still do that though?

[gritty nova]

and then the moment u reach the grapling hook hook jump

and let go of the grapling hook

u will fling faster then the max cyclops speed

in BZ its like nerfed

[dark night]

Oh, right, that part requires a bump on the ground because your hook isn't colliding with your feet anymore.

If you grapple anything and just walk with the prawn in BZ, you do the super speed thing and can boost against bumps to achieve warp speed and fly across the map.

[gritty nova]

i mean bc the BZ map is tight

u dont rlly need it anymore

[gritty nova]

caves

in the ||lava zone|| it was helpful to go rlly quick

[dark night]

In BZ while underwater you can still do this but for the actual enclosed cave segments, double grapple gets you going nice and quick.

[gritty nova]

grapple cost tho-

im happy if i got 1

[dark night]

Ehh? Benzene, advanced wire kit, 2 titanium chunks and 1 lithium?

[gritty nova]

in BZ it doesnt need the white plate thingy?

oh i forgot

[dark night]

Aerogel? No.

[gritty nova]

oh ok

[barren crown]

Don’t ask

[crimson quartz]

Not only your || out of the map but you got shadow leviathans too? ||

[gritty nova]

and is that the ||pengling research thingy||?

on the right

[crimson quartz]

Bro is in 3 different locations at the same time

[gritty nova]

lol

the shallows the kelp forest and somewhere in the ice mountains

[crimson quartz]

Bro is the teleporter

[gritty nova]

ALSO IS THAT A FLYING- ||shadow leviathan in the backround||?! XD (left)

[barren crown]

It’s so loud

[crimson quartz]

There's two.

Bro brought the duo

[barren crown]

I’m in survival and I’m gonna go in the water

[crimson quartz]

How

💀

[gritty nova]

dev cmd menu?

[crimson quartz]

Now when was this added

[gritty nova]

idk its on xbox for sure

[lime grove]

it isnt on switch

[gritty nova]

switch controller has the same trigger buttons tho

[lime grove]

switch isnt an xbox

[crimson quartz]

The millionth time switch players get no rights

[crimson quartz]

Wdym same trigger buttons??

[gritty nova]

ok but on the controller u have these... 1 sec

[crimson quartz]

You mean the letters??

[gritty nova]

7 11 2 14

switch has those on the top if i remember right

[crimson quartz]

Yea it does

But switch isn't an Xbox (i wish)

[gritty nova]

i call those the trigger buttons bc in every shooting game on xbox those are the shoot controlls

also bc they are like a trigger on a gun

[lime grove]

if something has the same buttons as an other platform it doesnt mean it works the same

[crimson quartz]

A gun trigger is an xbox button. Got it

[crimson quartz]

It actually does sometimes

[barren crown]

Yoooo it’s the chelicerateraterate

[gritty nova]

joysticks: AM I A JOKE TO U?

[lime grove]

shrimp

[crimson quartz]

Bro is meeting the whole gang

[gritty nova]

who drank the water tho

[crimson quartz]

John Pork

[crimson quartz]

Joysticks and the gun triggers

[crimson quartz]

Bro duplicated the cheli my guy is a god

[barren crown]

Bro who do these guys think the are💀💀

[gritty nova]

bro has HP

while an ||ice stalker|| made me go down to 2

[lilac moss]

umm what is this?

oh why there is god dam alot of them

[eternal garnet]

eye jelly. Avoid bottom end, otherwise harmless

there's a secret cave where theres a lot of them

[lilac moss]

i am now in some ||base||

how to get ||snow staler fur||

i dont know why but i feel like there is something here

[crimson quartz]

Somebody help me find || mercury ship || or im gonna lose it

I've been searching for hours

[lilac moss]

i can tell you where is one part

[crimson quartz]

I need the || vents part ||

[lilac moss]

its in ||purple vents|| near delta and ||lilipads|| this is the only part that i know

its like here where is my cursor

god dam

wait

search here

[crimson quartz]

You can get maps???

[lilac moss]

mods

[crimson quartz]

Alr so || yellow is delta || right??

[lilac moss]

yes

[crimson quartz]

I found the || thruster ||

Got one part of the unit

FOUND IT

Less gooo

[lilac moss]

nice

[crimson quartz]

Prawn can't get in

Thanks Pinkman

[lilac moss]

np

[lilac moss]

i knew it

ahh i just need last prawn fragment

[crimson quartz]

How do you accidentally find this??

[lilac moss]

idk i was just exploring this ice island (i forgor how to say it in english)

[crimson quartz]

No way bro found || the frozen leviathan || by accident

Can i still see || Marguerit || after i finished the || greenhouse || ?

[lilac moss]

and i am now lost

[viral knot]

long boi

he came from the wall

bro has some damn nice skills

[lilac moss]

damm i ded from cold

i ||cured frosen leviathan||

what i should go/do now?

[broken badge]

There’s a few maps in the game. There’s one for the facilities on a wall ||inside the room Fred and the other guy use at Delta||. And there’s also a ||little pengling bot map inside Phi||

Not exactly the same map you get in game but this is facilities/bases map

[lilac moss]

im gonna go to that near ||delta||

bc|| al an|| told me something about ||alien artifact|| is there

yo also i can repair ||bridge ||what i will find there?

[broken badge]

There’s something on the ground when you’re at the bridge that you’ll scan to help you extend the bridge, yes

[barren crown]

Bro shouldn’t have let me find out about console commands😈😈

[broken badge]

I don’t use them normally, when I tried them I just gave myself too much stuff and it ruined the game for me. So other than maybe turning off oxygen sometimes, I don’t give myself stuff…ever. It ruins my enjoyment.

Also now, there’s custom game options, which allows a great deal of things you can adjust, which is pretty nice

[granite plover]

i love finding the shrimp the only moment im out of charge on my seaglide and without my truck

idk how i was able to escape alive

[granite plover]

but fr after this encounter, i think reaper leviathan is better on the scary factor

[warped hinge]

guys...

i died on the last 10 minutes of my hardcore game 😦

[eternal garnet]

[warped hinge]

😦

i dont even know if i want to start a new one

is there any way to recover the save?

i know it kinda defeats the purpose of the hardcore mode but i was so close

[hard gate]

||am i still able to get the rewards for scanning artifacts without alan?||

Ok nevermind just did

Too bad i can't get ||alans voicelines|| anymore

[neon epoch]

don't get me wrong, below zero very good game, great lore, scenery, BUT the squidsharks are pure nightmare fuel, I swear I am getting PTSD from them

[vast idol]

Wish you could grab that poster

Couldve made a nice decoration along side the penquin robot blueprint

[carmine bobcat]

Load last cp is a thing, from memory.

[tacit grove]

hey how to go to marguitie place (idk how to spell marguitie)

[gritty nova]

First go to the ||delta base|| then u will recive a cutscene afterwards u will get a signal called ||pilot last known location|| or something like that and then go there with a seatruck with dept module, afterwards go and explore the cave system and search for ||LED light sticks|| if u find 1 u are close

[tacit grove]

Ok

[gritty nova]

Idk other tips to find her

Sometimes it takes me 3 mins

And my unlucky 1 was like 30 mins

Bring a beacon with u so u only have to search for her once

[tacit grove]

I know

[gritty nova]

Kk nice

[tacit grove]

Thx

[gritty nova]

No problem

[hybrid sable]

How can I get Crystalline Sulfur?

[gritty nova]

In the ||kelp forest|| there are caves and in those caves there is a lot of ||crashfish|| the ||pod thingy|| they come out of has crystalline sulfur u can also find some in the ||delta island|| in the caves on the walls

[hybrid sable]

Well yes I met a lot of them - but when they all came out of their "hive" I only found an egg

[gritty nova]

That’s bad luck i think

[hybrid sable]

Damn ok, thanks for the help

[gritty nova]

No problem

[crimson quartz]

I accidentally found || greenhouse || because switch graphics were absolute sht

[gritty nova]

lol

u can find it easily

[hard gate]

Does anybody know how much health a trivalve has?

[crimson quartz]

Is that the cuddlefish counterpart?

[viral knot]

where can i find ||dead ice worm||?

on alterra map objects

[crimson quartz]

Somewhere in || ice basin || close to || architect artifact ||

[viral knot]

where about is it on the map on pda

[crimson quartz]

Theres maps on pda??

[crimson quartz]

Like in || Phi Robotics somewhere in that area ||

No wait

@viral knot || glacial basin || where || al-an's storage body || is

You'll find it if you explore long enough

[viral knot]

can you mark it?

like about where it is

[lime grove]

the most left one is phi

near phi is the bridge which leads to arctic spires

[viral knot]

yeah i remember that bridge

though i didnt fix it or something

[lime grove]

there is a fragment on the bridge

[crimson quartz]

You need to fix it to get to the || artic spires ||

[viral knot]

ik

[crimson quartz]

You need || benzene || i think

[lime grove]

no

[viral knot]

||hydraulic fluid||

[crimson quartz]

How about the || green acid thingie ||

[viral knot]

x4 or just one?

[crimson quartz]

And for that you need || benzene ||

[lime grove]

you need only 1 fluid

[viral knot]

nope

i dont think so

[lime grove]

4 gel sacks and 1 creepvine seed cluster

[viral knot]

yep

[crimson quartz]

Then what is it for

[viral knot]

exactly that

do i need to do anything with the bridge

or just that fluid

[lime grove]

fluid

[crimson quartz]

After you || repair it || activate it

Although you can cheat it with || prawn suit and grappling arm ||

[viral knot]

where do i find snow stalkers man

i just need their fur :(

[bold monolith]

It's a bit more complicated. You can find their fur in the cave where they are in the glacial basin, but if you want to extract it from them directly you would have to make the spy pengling.

[viral knot]

uh what is this

i just activated it with ||ion cube||

[steel stream]

Did you try scanning it for more information?

[unkempt scroll]

Did you like play OG game?

[steel stream]

It's basically ||teleporter between two locations||

[viral knot]

cant scan it

[viral knot]

it does work both ways?

[steel stream]

You sure?

[unkempt scroll]

Ugh yes you can.

[viral knot]

fr i cant

[steel stream]

Yes, but can only be activated from one side

[viral knot]

oh i did scan it before nvm

[steel stream]

It should be scannable...at least before activation...

[unkempt scroll]

Seriously are you playing BZ before OG game???

[viral knot]

yeah so if i activated it here it will teleport me to another portal which will also be activated?

[steel stream]

Ok, maybe you found the other end first and scanned it...

[viral knot]

i did play og subnautica

i just dont remember that part

[steel stream]

There were lots of these in the first game

[viral knot]

yeah probably, though i dont remember scanning it

[unkempt scroll]

That is weird those things are everywhere in OG subnautuca.

[viral knot]

but i guess i did

[unkempt scroll]

How come you dont remember them?

[steel stream]

So they operate in pairs, which are activated at the same time, but only one side has the spot for ion cube

[viral knot]

yeah i actovated it here

[steel stream]

And once activated, it works both ways

[viral knot]

well it teleported me to ||phi||

[bold monolith]

I don't think it's a surprise for the people you're currently talking to. :þ

[viral knot]

but can't i just use a knife and stab them or something

or like peel their fur off or something idk

[unkempt scroll]

You will kill them and they wont drop fur.

[viral knot]

meh

🐖

[steel stream]

It's part of the designer's idea to not support/reward killing in subnautica games...(apart from eating small fish and using them in bioreactor)

[unkempt scroll]

Thats boring.

[viral knot]

meh

kill -> obtain

that would be cool bc you'd actually had to fight it

kinda

[unkempt scroll]

Player needs to be rewarded somehow after killing something.

Just like in real life.

[viral knot]

yes

[steel stream]

Prison?

[viral knot]

real life - jail

subnautica - fur

[crimson quartz]

Real life: death sentence or jail

[viral knot]

<@&85343211593166848>

[fast tangle]

I just looked into bz cut content, just out of curiosity. Turn out there was so much we were supposed to see.

||Ice Dragon and Methan Ice Caves|| would be so cool to experience.

[latent mantle]

Probably going into more of how Robin is a xenoworks scientist she wouldn't gain much data of the creatures behaviors if she just kills em

[celest wolf]

Should I follow the weird loud sirens?

[latent mantle]

Have you gotten a beacon?

From the noise I mean

[celest wolf]

Nope

I just came across it

[latent mantle]

Have you just started the save?

[celest wolf]

No

I did yesterday

[latent mantle]

Ok

[celest wolf]

about 1 hour on the save

[latent mantle]

Ok what story progression have you done so far

[celest wolf]

Finished delta station, I have the map scanned too.

[latent mantle]

Ok good start

Have you gotten the rebreather yet?

[celest wolf]

No but I got the high capacity tank

And seaglide

[latent mantle]

You know the twisty bridges biome I'm hoping

[celest wolf]

Isnt there gold down there?

[latent mantle]

Not the deep but the regular

[celest wolf]

Oh ok

[latent mantle]

Search around there a little more and you will progress more

But of course don't die

[celest wolf]

Oh yeah I had a previous save, wasn't I supposed to go the mining site next?

Or another station

[latent mantle]

You are gonna need to get the beacon for the noises

[celest wolf]

Alright

[latent mantle]

The twisty bridges is the biome with the long coral tube looking things

Keep searching around there and you will eventually find some goodies and progress the story

Good luck

[steel stream]

Exploring other Alterra bases is also an option

[celest wolf]

The biome with a ton of coral bridges and oxygen plants?

[latent mantle]

True

[celest wolf]

I got the rebreather blueprint at 170 meters, what now?

[latent mantle]

Have you found any fragments?

If not make the rebreather if you can right now

[celest wolf]

I got one of the seatruck fragments and some mobile vehicle bay fragments too. (Mobile bay from sea monkey nest, just came across one seatruck fragment)

[latent mantle]

Alright

I don't want to spoil the game for you so all I will say is make the rebreather get the rest of the fragments and get the materials for the seatruck

[latent mantle]

Nice nice👌

[celest wolf]

Should I go to the mining site when I get the seatruck? (I know it doesnt fit)

[latent mantle]

No

[latent mantle]

You can actually get it through

But its a pain to do

[celest wolf]

Sounds like it'd do some damage to the seatruck though

[latent mantle]

I recommend just making an extra tank and an air bladder

[celest wolf]

Alright

Wait you can use 2 tanks?

[latent mantle]

In a way yes

You can have multiple

But they dont stack

You can just equip the other tank that has air in it

Of course it won't be full full because reasons

But it will get you through the mine at least

[gritty nova]

Guys is it only me or the posters respawned

Like after the what the dock update the posters respawned

[latent mantle]

Ah

[gritty nova]

i have 2 hang in there kitty posters

[latent mantle]

That happened to the PDA'S that were scattered too

But those cant be collected

[gritty nova]

Cant pick them up

[latent mantle]

Yeah

[gritty nova]

Ya

Is it a glitch bc of the what the dock update or they regenerate

[latent mantle]

I honestly don't even remember how I fixed it

Lemme double check for u rq

[gritty nova]

I dont wanna fix it, I WANT KITTY POSTERS

[latent mantle]

I mean after the posters lol

[gritty nova]

I wanna fill my base up with it lol

[latent mantle]

Like so you don't get confused about PDA'S

[gritty nova]

The only PDA’s i dont have yet in that save file is ||Marg and the green house||

[latent mantle]

Ok what you have BZ on? Epic or steam?

[dark night]

||Marg|| had better be in SN3 doing what ||Marg|| does.

Or at least leaving behind stories.

[latent mantle]

Subnautica 2 technically

BZ wasn't technically a sequel to the original

[dark night]

I think they should skip the number 2 entirely, for a few different reasons, and go straight to 3 next.

[latent mantle]

But anyways

It's gonna be a long while before we can even get more info on the next subnautica

[languid field]

I just finished below zero
||why did it end without showing the alien world this is so unsatisfying||

[gritty nova]

Xbox

[latent mantle]

Suspense

[latent mantle]

Oh then idk

[gritty nova]

And steam but i have no dupe glitch there

[languid field]

What

[dark night]

And for the technical explanation you're referring to, it was originally going to be DLC for SN1 and then became a standalone game because it exceeded the scope of a DLC.

UWE has referred to it as an official sequel but declined to name it Subnautica 2, since it already had a subtitle.

[celest wolf]

I got the mobile vehicle bay 🙂

[gritty nova]

“Autocorrect”

[latent mantle]

The devs would have gotten some complaints if they added it and we didn't get to actually get to explore it. At least thats my theory

[celest wolf]

What's with these root pustules?

[languid field]

Why would they
It's literally the most important part of the story

[latent mantle]

My hopes are in the next subnautica we get some sort of way to go there

[dark night]

Root Pustule -> Biofuel, if you want to get the technically correct thing to put in there.

Penglings are easier to acquire en masse however.

[languid field]

||for the whole game I have been looking for the body parts of the alien person and now I don't even get to know what he's gonna do or if he gets to see his "networked people"||

[latent mantle]

POV: You just canceled the film happy feet

[celest wolf]

Wait penglings can be used as biofuel?

[languid field]

It doesn't feel complete though :/

Next subnautica game will take years to release

[latent mantle]

Well like avelon said BZ was gonna be a dlc to the original

[gritty nova]

Potentional next game storypath

[dark night]

Does the ending sequence vary beyond a few lines of dialogue though? I thought you DID see ||the alien homeworld, though admittedly very little?||

[dark night]

I don't know this reference but I feel like I'm the villain?

[gritty nova]

Is the endint cutscene a 2D pic or some 3D modell?

[languid field]

||I mean just some buildings but that's about it||

||I expected much more||

Kinda disappointing

[celest wolf]

Is there anything at the emergency supply cache that is part of the story? or is it just regular supplies

I looted it already

[gritty nova]

As i said next game potentional ||“Subnautica on the alien planet”||

[dark night]

Okay, just wanted to confirm. And prozalan, ||it's a 3D space followed by a 2D still of the area that shows what Robin is seeing and acts as the fade-out image to credits.||

Spoiler describes the direction but not the content.

[gritty nova]

Or sum like that

[gritty nova]

Thx

[latent mantle]

Penglings are usable as fuel for bioreactor, penglings=alien penguin

[gritty nova]

Why would u do that tho-

[dark night]

Oh, is the plot of happy feet about burning penguins? o_O

[languid field]

Yeah but it's still unsatisfying
The first game was entirely about one person being stuck in an alien island ||and ended when that person escaped|| so it makes sense
But here it doesn't feel complete since there was still some more to the story of this particular person

[latent mantle]

Have you not seen the movie happy feet

[celest wolf]

Why is the fish blood yellow?

[dark night]

No, sorry, I haven't; one of my brothers is huge into film, another into books, and I into video games.

[gritty nova]

This has more then 1 storyline in bz

[dark night]

Sulfhemoglobinemia.

[languid field]

||Sam's story is basically nothing important tho||

[gritty nova]

||Marg, player’s sis, AL AN and the story of all the alterra workers||

[languid field]

They are side stories

Or not interesting enough

[latent mantle]

Kind of old movie but theres 2 of em

[gritty nova]

Its 2 steps to find out what happened but we went to 4546B bc of her

[languid field]

Tru

[gritty nova]

Wait

The radio guy in the begining

[languid field]

||she just died that's it||

Not much to it

[gritty nova]

||We left him hanging 💀||

[languid field]

We didn't get to know much

[gritty nova]

“I’ll find my way back”

“Nah jk”

[celest wolf]

Do fish breed in aquariums and alien containment? And would that mean an infinite water/food source?

[eternal garnet]

alien containment only. Yes

[celest wolf]

Can you get a pet sea monkey?

[eternal garnet]

only with a mod

Wild fish are also infinite

[gritty nova]

I once put a jelly ray egg into the alien containment in subnautica 1 and when i came back to my base 3 days later there were like 3 jelly rays

[languid field]

Yea that too

It feels incomplete

[celest wolf]

So it just bred with itself?

[eternal garnet]

no you need 2 same.

Like minecraft

[latent mantle]

Well not like Robin would've been allowed back anyways considering Alterra probably knew she was there because of ||the satellite Marg asks you to shut down||

[gritty nova]

I put only 1 egg : P

[languid field]

Even sunbeam in original subnautica had more personality than Sam in below zero

[eternal garnet]

old bug I assume

[gritty nova]

And when i emptied it to have 1 ray it had 4 when i came back

My subnautica 1 base has TOO many jelly rays

Idk about BZ

[celest wolf]

Its sad how you cant scan for ribbon plants.

[eternal garnet]

you can grow them of course

[gritty nova]

They are a pain to get sometimes

[celest wolf]

But making batteries with them WILL mean nothing once you get a charger

as long as you previously had batteries

[latent mantle]

You can never have to much batteries

[celest wolf]

Just take your number of tools and double it in batteries.

You can also use a car battery and- nevermind the fish dont have cars yet.

[gritty nova]

I wonder if the subnautica universe has other companies

Or only alterra makes the stuff

[celest wolf]

Xenoworx

[gritty nova]

Oh right

Im dumb

[celest wolf]

Altera = original subnautica
Xenoworx = below zero

[gritty nova]

The PDA: i have tracked ||the woman in the exosuit|| as far as my technoligy will allow

[eternal garnet]

Alterra bought Xenoworx I believe....

[gritty nova]

Why not use the lost PDAs? I mean they are the higher tech 1

[celest wolf]

Good now shoo- ugh I forgot again.

anyway

[steel stream]

Where does it say that abandoned pdas are higher tech?

[gritty nova]

There’s like 5 PDAs on the island why not use those

[gritty nova]

In subnautica 1 the PDA had no problems with tech

[dark night]

Someone said with a mod but you can hatch sea monkeys and they will behave slightly differently from wild ones, and stay in the general area in which you released them.

Importantly, they do not have interactive behaviors like the "pet" fish in either game, which is probably what was answered first.

[gritty nova]

And the lost PDAs are the same PDA as in subnautica 1

So i just assumed

[steel stream]

In first game pda doesn't have to track a moving object...

[dark night]

Nor does it track things into caves; just surface to seabed IIRC, and anything that is hidden at all you get the signal from a PDA that already has the coordinates stored.

I don't think SN1's PDA does active scanning like that at all.

[celest wolf]

How do you get a Trivalve? (Mixed it up with the cuddlefish)

[eternal garnet]

video of locations https://youtu.be/V-muM2VyPqE

[dark night]

I found mine ||in the deep Lily crevasse where the cotton plants are.|| I think there are others.

[fast tangle]

Yeah, everytime I replay bz, I always think of that. Is it a joke or something "I will find my way back"

[languid field]

Right

She gets sidetracked and just ends there

[celest wolf]

I moved out of my lifepod 👍

[fast tangle]

Well it's fine. I feel more bad, when Robin said something like "let leave the past behind" If you haven't finished sam side of the story and chose to leave.

[languid field]

I did finish the Sam side of the story

||but it's basically just putting an enzyme in a machine and that's it||

[celest wolf]

Are coffee machines worth getting?

[lime grove]

yes

[celest wolf]

Hmm, maybe I should get a thermos

[gritty nova]

||And realising she accidentally kamikaze in cave||

[eternal garnet]

coffee machine? No, but they are cute

[lime grove]

to use the thermos you need the coffee machine

[gritty nova]

If u have the salad blueprint its useless

[languid field]

Not enough plot

[gritty nova]

The salad gives heat a LOT of food and thirst

[languid field]

Even the snowman you can make has more personality than sam

[gritty nova]

After getting the salad blueprint the coffee machine is useless

[fast tangle]

Yeah, yeh, it was. I mean to say, it feels so bad when you leave with alan and dont do sam side of the story. Then she said, "let leave the past behind". At that point, I total start to hate Robin, because it's for sam we came to the planet right.

[gritty nova]

Who is Sam the player or the sister i swap them sometimes

[languid field]

Sister

[gritty nova]

Kk

[languid field]

||the dead person||

[dark night]

The thing with heat in general is that there are not many sections where it's at all relevant. You're not really encouraged to use the snow fox because you don't get the ability to craft one (the pad) until after you've discovered the location you'd like to initially find WHILE RIDING A SNOW FOX.

By the time you actually can use one, you're probably grappling across the glacier in a prawn at the speed of code.

[gritty nova]

The snowfox is kinda useless

[storm imp]

agreed

prawn better

[gritty nova]

Get a prawn and the ||worm|| cant even touch u

[dark night]

And underwater? Why are you just chilling in place while underwater? How are you cold? You can swim in literal ice water and be warm. WIth no upgrade.

The one and only segment of the game where I became COLD was while using a spy pengling because it moves slowly and sees very little, so I had to stop a few times and get in my prawn to warm up before continuing.

[fast tangle]

I only used it for like 2 min in my first Playthrough, and since then I have played the game more than 5 times and totally ignore snowfox.

[gritty nova]

Things to do in Subnautica BZ when bored: put in “call me maybe” and have a grapling arm then go to the ||worm|| island for a walk

[dark night]

I used one in creative for a minute but then got off and made a prawn with grappling hook instead.

[steel stream]

I built an I compartment with a hatch and used pengi-bot from there, safe from cold and snow stalkers

[fast tangle]

Yeah, it would be fun.

[gritty nova]

In creative its good bc u dont get knocked off every 2nd second

[dark night]

YO! I didn't even consider that you could probably be indoors and still operate it. Nice tip!

[gritty nova]

Avelon, i think in the player’s group u are the smartest here

[fast tangle]

Well, I look around first and then do the pegl thing fast.

[steel stream]

And you don't even need power to stay warm inside...

[dark night]

Another super fun thing to do is beach your sea truck on the glacier north of start, where you are not supposed to be able to stand. Make a 4 segment length truck with afterburner + horsepower, shoot toward the surface at about a 35 degree angle, and just as you are leaving the water, whip the camera down so that you get shot over the ice and land on it, slide across it, and come to a stop. You can't move the camera once you leave the water.

Can also be done more easily with prawn + grapple but then you don't have that cool beached seatruck nearby.

[gritty nova]

Question: when ur base is unpowered and outside of water do u still lose oxygen

[dark night]

Definitely not! I am a writer though so it's easy enough to mistake me for very smart if you're reading what I write. It's just my specialty; nothing more.

It's warm and oxygenated while above the surface without power, like Mika said. :)

[steel stream]

If the base is above water, you won't need to worry about oxygen, as there's no water to drown in

[gritty nova]

What if

The base is half in water and half not

Like it goes down with a ladder

[gritty nova]

What happens with the oxygen

Does ur base half has oxy and the other half doesnt

[steel stream]

Test it...

[fast tangle]

Wait im gonna try that. One cool thing to do

[gritty nova]

Yeah i prob will

[gritty nova]

Thx

[steel stream]

I honestly don't know how that would work🤷‍♂️

[gritty nova]

Sometimes water glitch

Like there are 2 rooms ontop of each other

Top 1 is flooded and the bottom 1 isnt

It happened to me before

Looking up the ladder is weird

[fast tangle]

I think if the base of the base is in water, oxygen will deplete.

[gritty nova]

Alr

Can u build a moonpool outside of water?

[celest wolf]

Why would you?

[gritty nova]

Im having a brain rush rn

[fast tangle]

Idk, but here one guy did, I think I saw it.

[gritty nova]

Does the moonpool have water in it outside of water

Just to test

[fast tangle]

Well, moonpool should be allowed to be build outside water. Cause we have prawn suit.

If not, bad luck

[gritty nova]

Did the devs though of the water tho

Bc the water effect is built into the moonpool

[fast tangle]

Don't know

Maybe

[dark night]

I tested, and you lose oxygen while in the submersed modules.

Modules that are connected via ladder and even partially above water do not require power for oxygen.

[fast tangle]

Uff

[gritty nova]

Thanks for letting me know

[fast tangle]

An essay is coming

[dark night]

I can also speculate... Moon Pool can't be built above water but if it were, the layer of water would persist and exiting into the water would cause you to leave the habitat as you touched it, transitioning into swim mode and being placed into the world at the location just outside of the moon pool.

What I don't know is if that would kick an exception, immediately transfer you back to walking/exterior mode, leave you stuck in swim mode on land, etc.

[fast tangle]

Uff again

[granite plover]

Cant find any sea monkey nest in the lilypad🥹

I need the afterburner, horsepower and hook arm upgrade

[fast tangle]

Thanks, well I will also test it both when I get time

[dark night]

Oh hey, reinforcing the above water segment of the base doesn't affect integrity of the rest of the structure.

I think it's actually counted as 2 bases...

[fast tangle]

Hmm, are you on lilypad caves or just swiming with sharks above there?

[granite plover]

Im on the place near a mercury 2 part

[gritty nova]

REEAAAAL?

[granite plover]

And marguerit maida base entrancr

[gritty nova]

That didnt count as caps spam ofc

[granite plover]

With the big lilypad corpses

[celest wolf]

Hey I'm trying to place a scanner room but it wont let me, I have all the resources and theres no obstructions

[granite plover]

Spin it

[celest wolf]

I did

[dark night]

Bop it

[gritty nova]

Boop it

[celest wolf]

[gritty nova]

what is this emoji

Other game icon from the same devs?

[fast tangle]

Just asking is anyone here into cut content?

[eternal garnet]

trans-system federation, from natural selection II

[gritty nova]

Alr thx

[dark night]

I like cut content that was deemed too comical/out of place/inappropriate in some other way but is actually canonical to the media.

[granite plover]

Subnautica 3

Above zero, its on a desert now

[dark night]

Superterrica

[fast tangle]

Well most of cut content from og game made it to bz. So we can assume the next installment in subnautica universe will use most of bz cut content.

[gritty nova]

I cant send 60% of my gallery bc it breaks some of the rules

[gritty nova]

I wont say which bc then u would ask why

[steel stream]

Also building windows (or anything actually) above water part won't decrease base integrity. And works similarly in first game. For base power it still works as one base.

[gritty nova]

I mean its logical

Image the glass randomly breaking and flooding outside water

I think the base breaking system is a bit weird

Like why would PURE TITANIUM break 5 M underwater???

[fast tangle]

Hmm, Im not gonna love it. Well I'm more into crush depth idea where you start deeper in water have to go up instead dive deeper like previous games was.

[granite plover]

I was jking yea

A subnautica on the abyss could be cool

[dark night]

So like...you go through a teleporter which promptly fails from the other side, and you are now 1,800m below sea level in a cave network and all you have with you is a box of scraps?

[gritty nova]

“seek fluid intake”
“WHERE?”

[granite plover]

You start the game as one of those scientists in the deeper lab structures in the game

[fast tangle]

Something like that.

[dark night]

"Signal location uploaded to PDA."
<Signal location is left boot, where the hoses from the still suit go>

[gritty nova]

So like beta subnautica below zero start?

[granite plover]

I do wonder what a next subnautica could explore

Btw what is the best module combination for sea truck for gathering resources and exploration

[dark night]

+Horsepower, 3x Storage Module, 1x Prawn trailer, Prawn with double drill arm and 3x storage (equal to player inventory size). Fabricator module optional for packing titanium into ingots, silver into kits, etc.

[gritty nova]

||below zero ending|| and then u can also continue the story where the auora map is but alterra is there like in BZ and u can also continue like the auora but in a different place but u have to stop alterra from doing something

Ect ect ect

[celest wolf]

So does the rebreather basically just slow down the loss of oxygen or does it allow you to go deeper without losing oxygen efficiency?

[dark night]

Fabricator saves enough space to actually warrant dropping a storage module if the truck is moving too slowly for your taste. More than 4 modules reduces speed a LOT even with the horsepower upgrade.

[gritty nova]

It slows down the usage of oxygen and when u go deeper then 100 M it keeps the same usage unlike without it, without it the deeper u go the faster u lose oxy

[celest wolf]

Also does adding more modules to a seatruck make the cell(s) run out faster?

[dark night]

No, the speed is simply reduced.

[celest wolf]

oh ok

[gritty nova]

U use the same amount of power but slower speed so i guess if we look at the distances yes

[celest wolf]

I kinda thought it would with the extra lights.

And fabricators needing power (Possibly)

[gritty nova]

It only uses when u use it?

[celest wolf]

ok

[dark night]

I'd prefer more energy drain and less speed reduction personally. So much so that I modded it that way.

[gritty nova]

Pro

Keeping the balance but making it that its good for u

[celest wolf]

Should I stockpile food and water?

[gritty nova]

Where ru going

[celest wolf]

Nowhere, just incase I don't have time to collect fish.

[gritty nova]

Get a hot blade and u have food anywhere

There is small fish everywhere

[celest wolf]

Oh yeah

[dark night]

Stockpiling food and water is a great idea, yeah. Cure some arctic peepers with that salt under the north/west glaciers.

[gritty nova]

U should get the salad blueprint as fast as possible salad is WAAAAAAY too op

[celest wolf]

Oh yeah, theres salt and hoopfish literally everywhere.

[gritty nova]

It doesnt rot

[granite plover]

I miss seamoth and cyclops so much🥹

[gritty nova]

Where would u fit the cyclops tho-

[granite plover]

Yea

The game is too small for it

Even seatruck has some fiting issues sometimes

[gritty nova]

No its bc the map has tight caves

[celest wolf]

still pretty disappointing that the seamoth is gone

[granite plover]

I know

[gritty nova]

Also a lot of land

[granite plover]

Seatruck without modules

[gritty nova]

Its not FULLY gone

[granite plover]

Is basically seamoth

[celest wolf]

Atleast the prawn suit is still here.

[gritty nova]

Its in the game files

Also why doesnt the seatruck have a voice

[granite plover]

Wish we had like a clean module for the seatruck we could build in it

Coolest factor of cyclops

[fast tangle]

Okay, I'm not a writer, but brainstormer. You start as one of alterra on 4546b. You were studing a alien cube little into the water, then it attacks you kills your team, and drown you.

Game start. you find yourself in a very big oxygen plant biome hot one (safe shallow of the game), and from there you progress the story with crafting stuffs.

Sometimes later in game you find out that you are around 2,500 deep in there.

From there you can go deeper for alien advancement and also upper to leave the area and meet your alterrian people. Well it's a long journey to make. With leviathans down and up and yeah don't forget the alien that drow you.

Sry, just went overboard with this. Im into this kinda stuff brainstorming myself.

[gritty nova]

I just miss the “welcome aboard capitan”

[granite plover]

Cyclops voice is so cool

[gritty nova]

Ye

[celest wolf]

I thought Robin was apart of Xenoworx

[fast tangle]

Not talking about Robin here. It's a new guy or gal here., for a story idea for crush depth type content story.

[dark night]

Could even go with the whole character creation thing, with different voice packs and customization of body and face via FaceGen.

[celest wolf]

Oh I thought you meant below zero because you said 4546B

[fast tangle]

Ohh, I still wanna be in 4546b for next installment for sub. Just my opinion

[gritty nova]

Lets leave the next game idea up to the devs

[dark night]

Fiiiiine...

[celest wolf]

4546b is arctic though

The opposite of a desert

[dark night]

This region of it is... 4546-B is the planet both games take place on.

[fast tangle]

Yeah, its all upto dev. But doing fan story like this is, is just fun for me.
I love to do fan story for fun always.

[hot heath]

i need help

[gritty nova]

Same.

I need a hug

[dark night]

What I'd like to see is a stranded, damaged ||Architect|| as the next protagonist. You don't have access to all that many things at the beginning because you are ||cut off from your network.|| But imagine how fun endgame tools would be.

[fast tangle]

This one is also a very cool idea. Im up for it.

[hot heath]

wtf is this signal?

its been bugging me for the last in game hour

[dark night]

"Waaaaah wah Wwoooo woo..."

That's your scanner room if that's the sound you're talking about.

[hot heath]

my scanner room is not scanning thouggh

are you sure thats it?

[polar crescent]

The most OP food in this game is spicy fruit salad and I wish I took advantage of it in my first playthrough

[gritty nova]

I said its op

Makes every other food nothing

And so cheap

U need 2 plants and boom

[hollow fern]

I’d like to argue that freedom mode is the best food source

[gritty nova]

I only bringed salad with me in end game

[hollow fern]

It’s so good that u don’t even need any

[polar crescent]

Only issue is water sometimes if you're stuck on land unless you have tons of salt

[gritty nova]

technically true but in dev menu using the hunger cheat is a good food source too

[hollow fern]

Tru tru

[gritty nova]

Why is it that everytime in subnautica the player goes to the alien planet hungry

The food at the start is always at like 50%

[dark night]

Yeah this sound... It sounds like a beacon now that I listen again, and have gone in-game to listen to a scanner room scanning. Do you have a beacon nearby?

When not in a survival situation you don't typically alternate between near starving and stuffing yourself because you don't know when you'll eat again.

[gritty nova]

I’ll buy this and then do a subnautica playthrough with it

[hot heath]

I have a couple beacons but I’ve never heard the sound before until just now

It also sometimes makes a lower pitched quicker one every few minutes

[gritty nova]

I told the mod with the peeper pfp and rocket emoji AND IM DOING IT!

[dark night]

Like a ping yeah.

[gritty nova]

Thom

[celest wolf]

wait what?

You can put a pengling in a bioreactor?

[gritty nova]

Yeah

[celest wolf]

wth

[dark night]

You can put 16 of them in a bio reactor IIRC.

[hot heath]

Okay, how do I stop it then? It’s really annoying.

[smoky ridge]

Ayy bruh I'm 60 cents shorts might gimme a discount

[celest wolf]

penglingcide

[gritty nova]

They respawn sooooooo

[dark night]

If you can confirm it's a beacon after all, then you would just want to move it to a spot you can still aim for from afar but outside of the area you'll be swimming in, i.e. away from Moon Pool.

If it's not a beacon making the sound... I don't know!

[celest wolf]

You can might find a couple of quarters in the couch

[gritty nova]

Its not like cuddlefish that its rare

[hot heath]

Well, if it is, there is no beacons nearby my base

[celest wolf]

Are camera drones worth it?

[hot heath]

No

[deep kettle]

No.

[lime grove]

not really

just use HUD chip

[gritty nova]

Hi

[gritty nova]

im doing it tomorrow

[dark night]

Confirmed to be the beacon sound effect. Sorry that took so long.

Oh shoot I forgot to check if disabling tracking in the PDA turns the sound off.

[hot heath]

Okay, it was apparently a dropped beacon that wasn’t showing up on my HUD

[hot heath]

It doesn’t

[dark night]

Sweet, both questions answered. :)

[hot heath]

Yep thanks for the help!

[lilac moss]

how much that leviathan in ||purple vents || deal damage to ||seatruck||?

[dark night]

33%

[gritty nova]

U mean ||crystals?||

[hot heath]

He means the big red guy that’s also in the void

[gritty nova]

Ah

Shrimp

[dark night]

I think the other one is 33% also in any case.

[lilac moss]

so i need to be fast bc i need to go there bc there is some ||alien artifact|| or something

[dark night]

Yeah, you can take cover in the cracks and wrinkles in the seabed if needed too!

[gritty nova]

Oh dont worry u will gotta go that way late game or go the long way around

[gritty nova]

The cracks… the scariest thing in bu when it tries to stick its head in

[dark night]

If you get got while in the truck, just book it to the nearest spot you can find that has cover from at least below and one side - preferably below and both sides. Hop out and repair.

Wait for your heartrate to return to normal and then carry on the mission.

Good luck! o7

[lilac moss]

also should i go to that place and ||fix bridge|| or should i go to that ||alien artifact|| first?

[dark night]

The latter.

Not because of any story reason but because you already know what you're doing with the latter one and the first is opening up more questions, not giving answers as far as you know.

[gritty nova]

It doesnt matter which u do

The ||bridge|| is a long trip and will give u a lot of things to explore

The ||alien artifact|| gives u ||body part blueprints|| for ||AL AN||

[celest wolf]

I love how pengwings attack you if you kidnap their penglings.

They know their child/offspring is going straight into the bioreactor

[gritty nova]

If ur lucky it can also give u other ||blueprints|| like BIG SPOILER WARNING: ||ION batteries and power cells, teleporter module for seatruck, recycler and that’s all i remember rn||

[celest wolf]

Why is that a spoiler?

[gritty nova]

Spoiler for unknown blueprints

[celest wolf]

Also how do I get the beacon for the alarm thingy?

[gritty nova]

Wdym alarm thingy

[celest wolf]

The alien cave thing with a loud distress signal/alarm

[gritty nova]

Swim in the biome

U gotta swim in the biome where the SOS is coming from

[celest wolf]

At 200m I'm guessing?

[gritty nova]

No

On the surface is good too

Biome is what it matters

[celest wolf]

alr so just look for it and keep swimming around till the beacon appears? (I know where the alarm is coming from)

[gritty nova]

I got it on the surface once

[gritty nova]

Yeah just swim in the biome

[celest wolf]

alr

[gritty nova]

That’s all

And be somewhat close to the facility

(Dept doesnt matter)

Ima sleep now

Gn guys

[celest wolf]

how does a pengling just shrink itself inside an aquarium

its the size of an egg

wait do bioreactors have batteries in them? it says charge 166/500

[steel stream]

Every power plant/reactor has a battery to store the created energy to some extent

[dark night]

Capacitors at least. They generate way more than they typically output, so they temporarily store the energy generated and it is released in a controlled, as-needed manner.

Of course that isn't the case if your drain is higher than your generation. The base can output whatever it needs to if generation is fast enough.

[celest wolf]

So you can charge it to last through the night?

(With solar panels for the day)

[eternal garnet]

yes

[celest wolf]

alr

also does the game autosave?

incase of a power outage or something?

if so how often

[dense musk]

No autosaves

Remember to save manually every so often

[sleek timber]

Every 5 hours sounds good

[dense musk]

No

I save every 20 minutes or so

[celest wolf]

I crashed and lost like 1-5 hours of progress

[sleek timber]

Well I like to live dangerously

[celest wolf]

damn it

The only good thing is that I was working on getting the habitat builder during the time of the save

OH WAIT I forgot now I don't even have a seaglide

[valid compass]

Getting a seaglide is kinda easy in this game imo, their scans are present in many places around the lifepod areas

[celest wolf]

I have the blueprint.

[valid compass]

Ohh even better

[celest wolf]

but I no longer have the blueprint for the vehicle bay.

Which will make the seatruck useless once I get it and until I get the vehicle bay

I lost all progress after yesterday.

[remote geyser]

Does anyone have a clear high quality version of this without the orange location mark?

[celest wolf]

I'm surprised how many good updates there were yet the creators didnt implement an autosave feature.

[lethal elm]

not having autosaves adds more tension

[celest wolf]

I can't tell if thats a good thing or trying to make players give up.

[eternal garnet]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Posters_(Below_Zero)?file=Poster_motivational3.png

[remote geyser]

Thanks!

[warped hinge]

i still cant get over the fact i lost my hc game in the last 10 minutes (all the settings were 10x and it was permadeath)

im tryna get the strength to do it again but i dont even know what to do anymore

[granite plover]

how to easily farm lead

some stuff require so many of it and its so annoying to get lead

literally what im doing now with the sea truck + scanner room

[warped hinge]

go to the twisty bridges with a mineral detector and look for galena outcrops

[granite plover]

but still kinda annoying to find

[warped hinge]

or scanner room too

[dark night]

I think you maybe didn't quite get it.

My answer isn't "go swimming" :)

[granite plover]

sea monkey farm

fr

[dark night]

Oh okay, good! You did. Not sure why you need sea truck + scanner room for that though, so I thought you didn't.

[granite plover]

i dont want to go back to the sea monkey nest biome tho, ptsd from spending 2 hours there searching for the last prawn and sea truck upgrades

wish there was a big version of lead like the other ores have

[warped hinge]

yeah

[granite plover]

even kyanite that you only need like 7 of has a big version

[warped hinge]

also i didnt know sea monkeys were possible how do you make a farm?

[granite plover]

they give you items

and if you bookmark a item that require a x material, like lead

[dark night]

Hatch a few and drop them wherever you want to idle.

[granite plover]

they will give you only lead for example

and yea hatch a few

i sadly dont have the aquarium yet, where do you get it?

[dark night]

||Delta Island Manu's office is one location.||

But if you meant truck version, uhhh... I think ||surface purple vents biome||

[warped hinge]

thats cool

[granite plover]

i mean the big aquarium

i think i only got the small one in ||delta island||

[granite plover]

btw what is a good place to make a secondary endgame base

i remember when i played original subnautica i made my secondary base on that blue ghost leviathan tree since it had easy access to both endgame areas

[tawdry wraith]

any tips for getting a seatruck unbeached?

nvm i got it

[blissful yacht]

Hi all

[dark night]

Alien containment unit is the name of the big aquarium. You can find it in one of the wrecks ( ||Mercury II Bow|| ) or in another Alterra location ( ||Lily Pads biome lab in the SE|| )

Secondary endgame base depends on if you centralized your main base. If not, ||Deep Purple Vents near the Giant Fumarole/hole|| and if so, ||beneath the vent garden that has active volcanism|| for its insane energy production potential.

You can always also go landbase and just live on top of a glacier if you want to. All you need is a water pool to dip 1 module in somewhere, otherwise you need to fetch salt to be self sufficient.

I mean you can still do so without by just overeating, but I like to drink water for hydration.

[steel stream]

Nope, they can always give you random items. But if you have recipes pinned, they have higher chance to bring you materials you need. And there are some restrictions, for example they won't bring kyanite or ion cubes

[dark night]

If you have all of the required parts for a recipe other than the materials that they are capable of delivering, I think they stop bringing you default items entirely.

i.e. if you have scanner pinned and are carrying a chunk of titanium but not quartz, I believe the next sea monkey that offers a gift is guaranteed to offer quartz as long as you haven't had quartz in your inventory since before the last check at least. Possibly even just since the current check, but untested.

My theory is that if you lack multiple components, they will roll to see which component they'll try to give you if you have something pinned and are missing ingredients.

If it's not an ingredient they can find in the current biome AND is a material that they are allowed to give, they will default to their normal list. Same if they cannot give but they CAN find it in the biome, like titanium salvage.

If it's one of the items they CAN find in this biome and is on their list, I believe it is then guaranteed until you have the requirements of the recipe.

My base is on the thermic fumarole near delta island

Crystal cave base main con is the 2 shadow levis right next to it

[viral knot]

im planning to build a base where the shadow leviathans are

would be cool to look at them every day tbh

[granite plover]

Shadow leviathans are so annoying

Reached the fabricator caves

[polar crescent]

What are the best graphic settings for this game? In terms of minmaxing for FPS. I have screen reflections at medium, skybox at low and weather at low

[granite plover]

Depends on your pc

[lilac moss]

guys wher i can find bluprints for that ||prawn docking module for seatruck||?

[storm imp]

deep purple vents iirc

[granite plover]

Is there big nickel ore?

[eternal garnet]

Not sure, but I think so. In holes in crystal caves

[warped hinge]

isnt there supposed to be a habitat builder in madias house?

and isnt there also one in the delta base? there was none for me

[eternal garnet]

theres one outside the door of delta

[warped hinge]

thanks ill head there now

also uhh is there a location thats super super resource dense and has most resources?

[eternal garnet]

below and around delta is pretty good

[granite plover]

Why this game is super buggy sometimes

Second time i lose my snowfox since it went to the limbo

[storm imp]

oh well, it was just a snowfox.

[dark night]

Because it does weird state change stuff that's really rather clever to design gameplay around but has sometimes unforeseeable quirks.

[next current]

I'm not sure if custom hull plates are able to be modded into BZ.

[carmine bobcat]

hi guys

what is ur guys fav creature in below zero

[granite plover]

Chelicerate

[next current]

Chelicerate.

[carmine bobcat]

arctic peeper

[grave karma]

Artic peeper or the pingouin

[carmine bobcat]

Both, both is good

[gritty nova]

Unpopular opinion: i went to the ||delta base mines|| and then i found a grey fish with 3 eyes i grabbed it and then i wanted to eat it

Instead i named him “chonk” and made him see the whole subnautica world and story

[carmine bobcat]

@gritty nova gimme your question

[gritty nova]

Not question, fact what u prob dont know

[carmine bobcat]

well fun fact

i fogor

[magic cliff]

prozalan#0751 has been warned

Reason: Too many spoiler tags

[carmine bobcat]

lmao

[gritty nova]

It didnt send and then it sent

[carmine bobcat]

just dm me it or smth lol

[gritty nova]

Aight damn i just wanted to keep new players from spoilering the game

1 sec

There sent it into dms

[carmine bobcat]

alright, didnt know that, congrats lmao

[granite plover]

i love it when my game starts to save infinitely

the artic part of this game is so annoying

[gritty nova]

I have a memory when subnautica 1 or bz used to autosave

Idk how tho bc it doesnt have an autosave system

[bold monolith]

You're probably remembering a mod.

[gritty nova]

On xbox

[bold monolith]

Then it was a dream.

[gritty nova]

I swear i remember that i didnt saved for 2 hours got myself a seamoth and a moonpool then the power went out

After the power came back i turned on my xbox and i still had my moonpool and seamoth

Without saving

Before that i saved the moonpool but when i loaded it back the moonpool was gone

So i had to get the moonpool again

I guess the save system liked to joke around with me a lil

Since that i double save

[granite plover]

Finally

Finally after 3 hours i got all the babies(trivalve)

I will raise my pet army soon

[granite plover]

5 segmented aquarium

[crimson quartz]

They despawn. I got all three of them and they disappeared

[granite plover]

Its six tho

so cool

[oblique glen]

I can't wait to get below zero. I've finishes Subnautica multiple times but then going into below zero I feel will add a lot more to the lore, not to mention the change of landscape and flora/fauna.

[granite plover]

just finished the 4 layered aquarium for my trivalves

so sad you cant place platforms so up in the sky if i could i would make the platform for the snowfox there and a little farm

gonna make the 5th module tower a storage room + aquarium

[viral knot]

and i'm in the snow

and i don't know where to find that snow stalkers' cave

so pretty much i'm just going around there with no point

how do i find that cave or how do i recognise it

i have a frien

snow stalker :)))))

frien :D

[oblique glen]

That's different from the first Subnautica stalker-

Sorry, I've just never seen below zero animals. I'm trying not to spoil it for myself lol

[gritty nova]

I wanted to play subnautica 1 but i bringed BZ to my grandma

Ig time for some BZ hardcore

[viral knot]

um

||i see bacteria on it hm||

should i go in there

well was worth it

though, i don't think i can get to top. can i?

oh i can

[gritty nova]

U can go up

[gritty nova]

With elevator also spoiler this

Its a part of the story but dont worry its harmless, wont kill u

[viral knot]

the part of their research?

hm?

i guess there is no more useful stuff in here

except for the thing below

can i find stalkers' cave or something around there

[gritty nova]

U gotta find sum to put in there

[viral knot]

are they in that cave?

or like in way other place

[gritty nova]

In a different cave

U need pengling

I flinged myself up into the air with an air bladder and i landed on ice xD

[viral knot]

awww mommy and babies

they are so cute

[gritty nova]

U can pat them

Idk who made it but thank u so much devs for adding some wholesome things into the game

[viral knot]

ik

fur found now i need to find the way back💀

[gritty nova]

xD

Yeah ur at the edge of the map kinda

So all the markers are pointing 1 way

AW MAN- cmon-

I was looking for table coralls

I cutted 1 and i pushed it through the wall-

[viral knot]

i need 2x more fur

[gritty nova]

Rip

[viral knot]

||omega lab exploded?||

[gritty nova]

idk the bases by the names

[viral knot]

i just found that out by listening to their recordings

[viral knot]

near the delta

[gritty nova]

||is it bear Marg?||

Yeah

Yeah it went ||boom boom||

[viral knot]

idk if it's the one near delta tbh now

one of these lol

[gritty nova]

When ai hits hard

It was spinning up

Only caught the end

[viral knot]

i am officially lost

bro i found multiple stalkers' cave and only got 2 fur

[clever crow]

Better using the penguin robot.

[viral knot]

i dont have it

i could've made it tbh

but still now i need to find the way back to phi robotics

[granite plover]

||do i finish the game if i make all al-an parts?||

[viral knot]

feels good to be back in sea truck finally

[granite plover]

||like i know the end goal of subnautica 1 was escaping and curing yourself||

||ok i spoilered myself a bit and i just noticed im super close at finishing the game so i guess i will just finish my base and chill a bit with my trivalves then go make al-an body||

[pure lance]

|| then you will meet him at his “home” ||

[viral knot]

btw how is this thing called below delta? is that ||omega|| or something else

[gritty nova]

||Yeah 1 last trip||

[granite plover]

So i guess the endgame base on fabricator cave is not needed

||Since it will be my last trip there||

||this week was so fun playing this game, but everyrthing has to come to an end||
