below-zero-chat

[gritty nova]

They can bring diamond

[eternal garnet]

There is more to this mystery. Monkeys will 50% give you ingredients from your pinned list.

[tacit thorn]

shhh, spoilers!

[eternal garnet]

but it's such a nice spoiler. And not many get this connection naturally

they can't get everything. best stuff are diamond, nickel, ruby

[spiral basalt]

damn they won't bring me magnetite?

[tacit thorn]

I actually have a mod that disables them from interacting. It feels like cheating when you get mats you would otherwise have to dig deep for.
Also, they swam right in my face several times, thats annoying when building a hatch on your last 3s of oxygen.

[eternal garnet]

they will.

[spiral basalt]

that's my big roadblock rn

[eternal garnet]

But not in biomes that are mag-free

[spiral basalt]

I gotta explore more. I also wanna get the aquarium seatruck

[eternal garnet]

so, monkeys in lilypads will give mag. Unpin all other stuff

[spiral basalt]

oh I was about to go on a lilypad expedition to explore it better

I almost drowned last time cuz I had completely unupgraded seatruck

[steel stream]

I have received magnetite and diamonds in arctic kelp forest...

[eternal garnet]

yes, why not. But you won't in twisty

[spiral basalt]

no spoilers but is the story finished?

I don't wanna focus too hard on progressing it if I hit an abrupt end to it

I'll just grind up super ships

[tacit thorn]

the ending is implemented. You just have to watch out for not missing the side story conclusion.

[spiral basalt]

cool

is there a place I can see plans for upcoming updates? Is it mostly bugfixes at this point or are there gonna be more big content drops?

[eternal garnet]

The game is content complete. Additions are super unlikely

[gritty nova]

its nto a spoiler its a feature not many players know about

[spiral basalt]

Nice!

[tacit thorn]

learning sea monkeys ||stop stealing things and give you gifdts instead|| after certain ingame events is a spoiler for me.

[gritty nova]

mkay

[karmic tapir]

Hey does anyone know how to get back to the spawn area

From the beginning, when you drop from space and the pod you're in is on fire and stuff?

[bold monolith]

Just go north.

[karmic tapir]

I'm there looking for it now, what's next

[bold monolith]

That's all.

[karmic tapir]

But I can't find it

I want to go to the pod

[karmic tapir]

Ah thank you

[wraith ivy]

wheres better to build base, deep purp vents or deep twisty

[lime grove]

you cant

[next current]

You killed him! ;-;

[wraith ivy]

me need answer

[next current]

Both are tight areas but I'd recommend deep purple vents since it has some flat areas.

[wraith ivy]

aight

i was plannin on chelicerate observatory til i realized it aint in deep purple vents so that sucks

[hollow fern]

Murder

[gritty nova]

I actually never saw that thing destroyed thx for showing how it looks

I kinda forgot it can be destroyed

[crimson quartz]

How dare you kill him

How did you do this

[eternal garnet]

they die on the small ice floes. Bit unfair

[wicked dome]

Just go find the vent garden biome and go up one of the vent gardens. They always have spiral plants, more than 15 of them in each vent garden

[wraith ivy]

how u even drop ur keyboard

[pliant jetty]

A likely story

[shy latch]

Is it just me or does the seatruck window give outside world a bit of a blur effect?

[karmic tapir]

What do you personally believe happened after the ending? ||Do you think there are other architects left?||

Spoilers spoilers spoilers

[eternal garnet]

you have questions after ||this reveal-all? I am kidding. Yes I think it's got life. I have no evidence for this though||

[tacit thorn]

does reloading the game make all pants regenerate fruits? I notice they always full when I come back.

[next current]

Be the Xenoworker you are and do some science.

[tacit thorn]

nonono, the last time I did some science, I learned I need 3k+ titanium.
And that vertical connecteor is 3m tall

[loud meteor]

i alr found sum now

[latent mantle]

Vent garden is a trap for chelicerate I have seen it happen

There was one stuck in a full grown vent garden I came across on my newest playthrough

[loud meteor]

i haven't encounter one of em yet

also is ultra tank the best

for O2

[upper scarab]

I didn't checked again but I came across her base randomly... through the lava things
and then I tried to go out and I just went through Idk what place for 20 minutes and arrived in an artifact containment thing
I thought I'd die because I couldn't find the exit at first lmao

[loud meteor]

how do i get dis goddam alien containment

[bold monolith]

Find it inside the Mercury II's bow.

[loud meteor]

bow?

[bold monolith]

Indeed.

[loud meteor]

wut dat

[bold monolith]

The ship was broken in three parts.

The bow is one of them.

[tacit thorn]

look for wrecks

[loud meteor]

i only know da 1 at delta

[bold monolith]

Find the others then. You will need to find more if you want to complete a quest.

[loud meteor]

cool, will leviathans tickle my twinkle toes

[bold monolith]

It depends, if you consider the squidshark to be one.

[loud meteor]

nad squiddy my bud

[bold monolith]

If not, you might still find one in Purple Vents.

[loud meteor]

😱

[bold monolith]

The bow just has squidsharks, brutesharks around.

[loud meteor]

k good

[tacit thorn]

tip: if you set your scan room to look for scrap, you will find the wrecks. they have scrap pieces all around them

[loud meteor]

ik, but ty 4 advice

[karmic tapir]

I'm finding it hard to find things to do after completing the game

[loud meteor]

try collecting and planting all plants

[karmic tapir]

I mean I've been running around labelling stuff with beacons and I built a third base ||in the worm graveyard|| but besides that I've basically run out of stuff

[karmic tapir]

I like that concept

[loud meteor]

🙂

[tacit thorn]

definitely do not try building base as deep as possible without cheats.
started month ago, still not done 😅

[karmic tapir]

Oi, that must be difficult, especially if you can't put on solar panels

[tacit thorn]

solar panels are the least of your worries. the first one is the floor

[loud meteor]

hav u killed all leviathans

[tacit thorn]

have you collected all collectibles in game?

[karmic tapir]

Oh no, I don't think I want to do that, I feel guilty enough hitting a pengwing with my seatruck

[loud meteor]

trap one then?

[karmic tapir]

I'm working on getting the ||trivalve eggs||, I already got two of them and I found the location of two more. I just can't get those yet. Are there any other collectibles I could get, though?

[tacit thorn]

All the titanium/copper/etc on the map

[karmic tapir]

I got some ||squidshark and glowwhales in a locker somewhere if that counts||

[loud meteor]

scan every scannnable

[karmic tapir]

Oh that is a challenge

[karmic tapir]

I think I've done that, and I think I've got all the PDAs as well

[loud meteor]

i mean like trap one in a box

[karmic tapir]

I think

[karmic tapir]

You can do that?

[loud meteor]

scanned all fauna?

[carmine bobcat]

How do I make the pengling in my alien containment shut up

[tacit thorn]

he is still in the box . sorry for quality, remote cam

[loud meteor]

knife

[karmic tapir]

I think so, I can't think of any flora or fauna I could have forgot to scan

[tacit thorn]

check wiki

[karmic tapir]

Poor fella, how'd you trap him?

[loud meteor]

nice work man

[tacit thorn]

Build a box while they try to eat you. very painful.
stand in entrance as bait. again, painful.
brick in the entrance once they are in.

[karmic tapir]

Nifty

[loud meteor]

supa radical

[karmic tapir]

Just checked the wiki and I never knew void chelicerates existed

[tacit thorn]

also got these two locked up, but let them go after I tripped literally everything from their room.

I also built-in a feeding nook where I dropped rock punchers, but they wont eat them. Any idea what they would like to eat? besides me and my prawn?

[loud meteor]

speaking of void build void base

[wispy jolt]

Is the PDA voice from Subnautica available to the public? As in I download a software and put in a text, then I get an mp3 out. Would be amazing

[pliant jetty]

Mass breed anything medium or bigger

[carmine bobcat]

Does the cutscene on ||Delta Island|| that makes you meet ||Marge|| still trigger if you get the PRAWN up there

[tacit thorn]

unless they are using google voice like satisfactory, might be prerecorded

[carmine bobcat]

If you're wondering why i have so much stuff installed in my prawn

mods

Apparently it doesn't

[tacit thorn]

FYI, i heard you can stack jumpjets

[carmine bobcat]

wait

[carmine bobcat]

But it can't stack in SN

[tacit thorn]

I have not made any measurements. but you can install multiple. I think it makes jump higher a bit.

[carmine bobcat]

I'm wondering if i can yolo off with the prawn

[tacit thorn]

wdm, fight the crazy lady?

[carmine bobcat]

i TRIED

I wanted to see if you brought the prawn up their would the cutscene trigger

cause the cutscene triggers while your on foot

[tacit thorn]

Boss fight begins.
PDA voiceover:
"Your chances of survival are rapidly approaching zero"

[rigid dagger]

have you tried doing it with the seatruck up there? :^)

[carmine bobcat]

uh

no

i dont even think you can bring the seatruck up there

its sea not land

[tacit thorn]

if you go fast enough...

[rigid dagger]

I know lol, i've 100% both games

[carmine bobcat]

I wonder if the snowfox can navigate the entirety of delta island

[rigid dagger]

but yeah, maybe some speed and slight modification of the sea trucks properties 👀

[carmine bobcat]

and by that i mean reach the radio tower

[karmic tapir]

Does anyone feel like the seatruck is way more fragile than the seamoth or cyclops?

[carmine bobcat]

bro

the seatruck by itself is as agile as the seamoth

[karmic tapir]

Fragile

[carmine bobcat]

plus it can become a base

[karmic tapir]

Not agile

[karmic tapir]

Given enough incremental attachments

[tacit thorn]

missing ability to grow food

[carmine bobcat]

according to the pda

[carmine bobcat]

that was actually planned btw

also

[karmic tapir]

I mean the aquarium module will accumulate random fish for you to eat

[carmine bobcat]

Where do i go after going to Pilot: Last Known coords signal

[karmic tapir]

Into the caves, if you've reached the Cotton anemones you've gone to the wrong cave

[carmine bobcat]

The cave directly below the signal?

[tacit thorn]

if you build a truck with 20 aquariums and turn your mouse, will it defish the area?

[karmic tapir]

I can't remember, but if it's not the right one, there's about two more cave entrances left and right of it

[tacit thorn]

Bragging moment: I believe I mined out all the kyanite on the map.

[karmic tapir]

Wait, are there a limited amount of raw materials?

[tacit thorn]

Nuffin respawnz (tm)

[carmine bobcat]

gonna leave my modules here for now

[carmine bobcat]

you can reset the world

[tacit thorn]

thats cheating

[carmine bobcat]

why do you even need kyanite

i believe its only used for prawn suit thermal reactor

[karmic tapir]

Ah, that's a shame, even the outcrops and the little chunks on the seafloor?

[tacit thorn]

And depth upgrade.
I just have severe kleptomania I guess. wanted it gone from all my scanners.

[tacit thorn]

Only 'infinite' resources are:
sulfur - if you don't break crashfish nests
salt - from water filter
plants - you can grow them
fishes - you can breed them
root pustules
and probably missed something

[carmine bobcat]

fishes also respawn

I think i may have found the way down

[karmic tapir]

Ah, that's a shame. I've mostly been relying on caches

[tacit thorn]

any reason your depth upgrade goes to 2050m? accessible game area bottoms out around 1k

[karmic tapir]

Not alien caches but whatever the word for it is

Not just veins

[carmine bobcat]

mods

[karmic tapir]

But those big chunks of material

[carmine bobcat]

thats also why theres 12 slots for upgrades in seatruck/prawn

[tacit thorn]

deposits?

[karmic tapir]

Maybe

I think so

[tacit thorn]

I know how. I'm wondering what for.

[carmine bobcat]

just because

[oblique glen]

Does anyone know where the mobile vehicle bay fragments are? I don't want to cheat by looking it up, so I'm asking for help instead. It feels morally better. I've looked in the shallow biomes, as I can't go that deep because I don't have the seatruck, but I just can't seem to find it anywhere.

[tacit thorn]

you should find plenty in twisty bridges.

if you have issues, build a scanner and set to fragments. or manual scanner.

[bold monolith]

Twisty Bridges, Arctic Kelp.

[oblique glen]

Oh ok, I must just be completely blind.

Thanks

[tacit thorn]

tbh, they look like a leftover crate cover

[wicked dome]

What’s the best biome to set a base for resources

[tacit thorn]

My choice was next to delta island, because its 'close' to everywhere else. and has the super secret mine with some adv materials.

[spiral basalt]

Best place to farm lead? Lithium as well but I've got a couple of places in mind for that

[tacit thorn]

it exists pretty anywhere as galena, just plop down a scanner and harvest

maybe except purple vents, that biome doesnt have any afaik

next to delta island has both

[spiral basalt]

yeah, my plan was to just kinda run around twisty or delta, was hoping there was a better alternative tho

[tacit thorn]

ventgarden area has some lithium, but purple vents are more accessible.

[spiral basalt]

no I need to put something into the filtration machine or is it just a matter of waiting?

[tacit thorn]

electricity

plenty of it

you built the filter underwater, right?

[spiral basalt]

yeah, I figured it out. I thought you had to have a thermos or smthn like with the coffee machine

It didn't seem like it needed that much power I'm running a biomass and three solar panels to power two of em

plus moonpool and seatruck dock

[shy latch]

I just got the booster tank and it doesn't make any noise when I boost. Is this a bug on my end or the sound for it is just not implemented?

[storm imp]

#memes-and-media

[wraith ivy]

quick question how the heck u beat below zero (use spoiler tags if ur willing to tell me)

[eternal garnet]

finishing ||means building alans body and transferring him to it, then going with him off planet||

[wraith ivy]

oh so u just ||scan all the caches u find until its time||

[eternal garnet]

two of them you have to find by exploring / clues. No beacon to them

[wraith ivy]

dang

[eternal garnet]

Same with the ||fabrication place.||

[wraith ivy]

aughhh

[eternal garnet]

undetailed clues: ||one's very deep. Near it there is a hole at 670m that drops down. Deeper still is the fabrication.
Cross the bridge on land to get a big clue for the third.||

Besides all I said, there are side quests that sadly are not required

[wet plume]

should i buy below zero after i finish the original

[oblique glen]

Yeah, I highly recommend it. I've already played Subnautica multiple times, but below zero takes the cake. It's so cool, it has all new sorts of animals and plants. Anyway, it's still really cool.

[upper scarab]

stop the game 🧠

[rare oak]

||I visited all the altera sites that are on the map, I met Margurite and disabled the satellite dish, I have 2/3 alan body parts recipes but no way to craft them. I have an alan dialogue of him saying that something to synthesize a body is very close, but I have no idea when/where he said that and if it was just about one of the parts I already found. I feel like I missed something at a place I already visited maybe? Scanned every artifact that has a location marker to it, really not sure how to progress now||

[hard gate]

||where were the parts you scanned?||

[gritty nova]

Can i ask why does ur pfp has boobs

[karmic tapir]

Never!!!!

[karmic tapir]

||I know where the skeleton and tissue parts are if you don't have those||

[mild fjord]

||you can build it in a place near the crystal caves called the fabricator caverns if you see red cubes that's the sopt||

spot

What's the parts you don't have

[gritty nova]

Wrong chat

[humble owl]

Where do I find the teleportation module (ping me if you know)

[lime grove]

you unlock it by scanning artifacts

[humble owl]

Oh, thank you

[upper scarab]

I was wondering if we can teleport 👀

[gritty nova]

Alien portals in both games: hi

[upper scarab]

yh but i subnautica there's like the 4 from the end + the 2 connected alien bases

[gritty nova]

Still something

[upper scarab]

you don't have it until the end and it's limited to these 4 spots

if we can construct them it's a whole new world 👀

[gritty nova]

Still better then going up and down in the lava zone

[upper scarab]

I was doing it

(ok probably not XD)

going down there was amazing tho

I was there wanting to go down but I couldn't go deeper lol I think I just had my cyclops stay in the lava zone, collecting and building directly there to get the needed module to go deeper anr reach the alien base
IIRC

[gritty nova]

In bz there is 1 portal connecting 2 parts of the worm island

And that’s all i know about

• ending ofc

[next current]

There's one ||teleporter that connects the Glacial Basin to the Arctic Spires||, yes.

[gritty nova]

I call the whole thing worm

Lol

I gave every biome a name by myself since idk where to find their names in the game

Safe shallow is safe shallow ofc

||Kelp forest is kelp forest ik that too||

||There’s the squid bridges||

||Gas vulcanoes||

||pink geysers also known as “i dont like this place”||

||Delta island: rock with snow on it and a base||

||marg’s place is simply “green”||

||Pink crystals||

||cube red crystals||

||where the HUGE squid thingies are i just call those ventgarden biome||

||void is void||

||the place where marg’s greenshouse is i call that “this huge empty space creeps me out”||

||there is a weird VERY green biome with a lot of kyanite in the purple crystals i called that “how did i not know about this before”||

||pengiun base with portal land||

||after the bridge aka worm place||

||pink trees which are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!||

||worm land but worm dont come here||

If u played through subnautica fully u know every biome or place

[gritty nova]

Exept this, this is hard to find and small

[gritty nova]

Biome names: technically the truth

[upper scarab]

"teleportation module" is not something you can build?

[gritty nova]

Its a seatruck trailer module for ur seatruck

And an ion cube is needed for 3 uses into a remote controll

[upper scarab]

I don't understand but better like so I'll discover it later :p

[spiral basalt]

you can yes

[gritty nova]

u get a remote controller put an iON cube in make a trailer module activate the remote controller and u teleport to the trailer

its a 1 way teleport

from anywhere to the seatruck

[latent mantle]

You unlock the teleport module blueprint after scanning a certain amount of ||architect artifacts|| I don't remember the exact amount though

[fast tangle]

10

[haughty wedge]

||chelicerate vs iceworm||

[lime grove]

worm

[fast tangle]

I have no fear of both

But design wise worm take the cake for me

You question is wrong, ask ||shadow vs worm||. What is most annoying?

[lime grove]

worm

[fast tangle]

Well I go with ||shadow||, ||worm|| is easy to dodge. They both are annoying but ||shadow|| always got you, while ||worm|| is too slow.

[upper scarab]

"better like so I'll discover it later :p" means don't tell me more

[fast tangle]

Yeah, just don't discover it after you finish the game. Cause then it kinda useless.

[gritty nova]

Its littearly that simple what’s there to even explore

Or discover

[upper scarab]

what

[fast tangle]

To be true, you might never need one. In the end its friking useless

[upper scarab]

so what isn't useless

[upper scarab]

I just meant I'll see about it in game when I come across it, I didn't read your message

[storm imp]

shadow

though either is trivial with the right equipment

[fast tangle]

Okay which one is most cooler in appearance, ||shadow or worm||? Im not able to choose one on my own.

[storm imp]

"design" is a bit vague, are you just talking visual design?

[fast tangle]

I should have said appearance vise or look vise.

[next current]

Both. Both have good designs.

[fast tangle]

What if, you got choose one, which one you choose?

[storm imp]

worm

[next current]

Shadow. Only because they're less buggy

[fast tangle]

Ah, still after thinking for 30 min straight. I still can't choose one. Both are good.

[next current]

That's what I said.

[spark rune]

where do I fi9nd the parralell proscessing

Oooo pretty!

[eternal garnet]

slight cheat: fog is off

[gritty nova]

holly poop how did u do that?!

[eternal garnet]

? command fog

[gritty nova]

i mean remove water + sunset

and leaving the other glow

[eternal garnet]

twisty, dusk

[karmic tapir]

||hey anyone know where the golden trivalve eggs are, I know they're somewhere in the lily pad caves behind some flowers or something but besides that I got nothing||

[eternal garnet]

||in the opposite direction of where you go down for the skeleton (green lights), other side of the cave then, go down into a small dead end, look under a loop plant||

[karmic tapir]

Ah thanks

[fervent geyser]

yo im near the end of the game but the guy wont go into his body

what should i do

i think its bugged

ive built it all

[eternal garnet]

you can't ||interact with the sleeping body?||

[fervent geyser]

no

[eternal garnet]

is that the issue?

can you see it, ||standing, sleeping?||

[fervent geyser]

i think so

yes

[eternal garnet]

save + load

[fervent geyser]

ok thanks

ill try it now

[karmic tapir]

||alright, I got the last of the trivalve eggs, took a while because I need grappling arm to get into the iceberg cave||

[honest adder]

Hum.... I drown and it's like this since 10 minutes... I have a non-modded version of my game btw.

I saved, left and reconnected and when I reload, it's still like this

do I have to deduct that my save is dead ?

I don't want a tech support tho, I just wanna know if this is normal

[tacit thorn]

I have loaded 5 modules of plasteel ingots, think that will be enough for building 5km straight down?

[carmine bobcat]

hey guys, am I supposed to do smth here?

[tacit thorn]

robo pengling

[honest adder]

Pengling

[carmine bobcat]

so I place the pengling on the device, or just go under the rocks with it?

[storm imp]

in the pengling sized gap

which I assume is under the rocks

[north lintel]

i waste plasteel

[rare oak]

|| I have the skeleton and tissue blueprints. I'll have to explore near the crystal caves again tho I still need the organs blueprint||

[hard gate]

||yeah theres a large crystal formation somewhere with a hole in the middle leading to the part||

[rare oak]

Thanks I was just concerned that I'd already been there and missed it but I got a bit of exploring to do!

[delicate cipher]

Same

[remote geyser]

i'm going to make a subnautica below zero modded run

does anyone know mods that would disable alterra story line?

i want to finish main story line only

[unkempt scroll]

Just give up on grav trap then. You dont need it anyway.

[bold monolith]

A video won't tell you where it spawned in your game.

The game spawns around 30 grav trap fragments.

[unkempt scroll]

Well it should! Or else I wont play it!

[bold monolith]

They are not useless, as they still indicate the general direction and if you are lucky, some of the same location.

[karmic tapir]

You could breed bladderfish

[pulsar isle]

Fragments are spawning randomly, even in crates (some of them will be empty), unless its not a fragment (for example, table)

[carmine bobcat]

hello there

what yall doing

im bored

[alpine mason]

😍

[upper scarab]

saving on a bugged situation probably wasn't the best move XD
You know why the unstuck button is dead oO?

[honest adder]

Because I died probably

[pulsar isle]

im stuck in infinite saving menu

what should i do?

[unkempt scroll]

Save ur game.

[carmine bobcat]

Can someone help me

Please

My thing has been saving infinitely and I haven’t saved for a long time

Do I have to reset

[unkempt scroll]

Finally. Auto save in BZ.

[edgy flame]

Uh oh

[last bluff]

deep dark deep down very deep down

[karmic tapir]

I think my game reset at some point because for some reason I have multiple copies of the posters and I have two of ||the necklace that belongs to your sister in the game||

Spoilers for plot

I'm on ps4 and I hadn't the game in like a year so I don't know

Plus, I did have to redownload it in order to play it again

[noble ravine]

so i playd below zero when it launched but now i jsut found out something calld trivalve exists?

was it added in an update?

cause i wanted a pet :T

[latent mantle]

Been out since the full release lol

[noble ravine]

idk then i never saw it

i tought it might have came with the seatruck dock

[latent mantle]

Well there are more of them in BZ than the cuddlefish in the original

[karmic tapir]

You have to find the eggs

[noble ravine]

** i know**

[latent mantle]

If I am remembering correctly there are 6

[noble ravine]

1 more then

[karmic tapir]

Ope sorry

[latent mantle]

Ok yep 6 trivalves in total

[noble ravine]

i ran trough the whole game (wich didnt take long cause smol map) and i never seen their egg

and i did multiple runs as well

[latent mantle]

2 gold/yellow whatever color you wanna classify em as and 4 blue

Honestly they are superior to the cuddlefish

[noble ravine]

yea i think so too

[latent mantle]

They can go on land whereas the cuddlefish cannot

[noble ravine]

the cuddlefish has a weird face

[latent mantle]

Plus the cuddlefish is a chubby humanoid lookin squid

[noble ravine]

i like the chubbyness and the squid

i just dont like the face

[upper scarab]

it's at 0 m actually

[latent mantle]

Same

[noble ravine]

iceberg

[steel stream]

Well, you could also think that bz has less, as they are in pairs in only 3 locations vs original 5 locations (or 4 if you count that you get 1 with the tablet for another)

[spiral basalt]

the purple vents give creepvine sample if you attack them with a knife while they're in big ball form

??

||Man the leviathan in the crystal zone has been repeatedly jumpscaring me, how tf do I deal with him? does he attack vehicles?||

[steel stream]

Dodge, avoid, use seatruck perimeter defence (have to time right, just when you're being attacked)

[latent mantle]

And if you have the afterburner upgrade use it

[spiral basalt]

yeahhh that's about what I expected

Guess I have to spend some more time searching, haven't seen perimeter defense module yet

he keeps coming from around the corner and seeing me from 50 meters away

[steel stream]

Want a hint for location?

[latent mantle]

||Have you turned off the radio signal for marg||

[spiral basalt]

maybe later, I'll keep looking around myself and if I haven't found it in the next like 10-20 hours I'll ask

[latent mantle]

Noodle did you do this yet?

[spiral basalt]

oh yeah, ||you mean the tracking satellite right||?

[latent mantle]

||If you turned off the radio tower for Marguerite and went to talk to her in her greenhouse then go back to her base and her room will be open you will find the perimeter defense just sitting there||

[spiral basalt]

||I'm just getting back from her greenhouse rn, and I figured I'd explore a bit around the glaciers while I went||

[latent mantle]

Go back to her base

[spiral basalt]

alr

[latent mantle]

In her room that you couldn't go in when you first went there she left a surprise

Best of luck🫡

[spiral basalt]

alr 🫡

[carmine bobcat]

cool!

[spiral basalt]

||went back to her base, I found her pda but I spent like 5 minutes in that room and couldn't find anything||

||Where the heck do I make the snowfox? I can't find it in the same place as the seaglide but that's where it says it is on my pda||

[gritty nova]

||u need to find a pad for it, it cant be found in|| ||PHI robotics||

||preatty much the second u enter the big ahhh door look right and its squished into the ground ||

its not only the crafting place for it u can charge the fox there

no u cant replace the battery manually it has to be charged

[spiral basalt]

wack

thanks, I'll finish upgrading my base then head out there

[gritty nova]

||(no iON battery upgrade cries)||

[west mountain]

You can replace the battery on the snowfox. When you hold it in your hand to deploy the snowfox, you can press R to change or remove the battery

[spiral basalt]

||Ion batteries worth it? I just bring like 5 extra batteries whenever I go out||

||Don't wanna spend my precious cubes||

[spiral basalt]

is it r or e? I use r to change battery on my other tools

[gritty nova]

oh why am i so dumb

[west mountain]

R probabely, like all the other tools

[gritty nova]

||(well a normal battery is 100/100 an Ion battery is 500/500)||

[spiral basalt]

||And Ion is fully rechargeable?||

[west mountain]

Same like any other battery just 5x capacity

[gritty nova]

||when i used it in the seaglide i was using the seaglide for 1 hour and it only went down to 85% (nonstop use with flashlight)||

[spiral basalt]

||Sick, and ion cubes aren't used for anything else big right?||

[gritty nova]

yes it just takes longer to charge

not too bad just sleep when u charge

[west mountain]

Most important use for ion cubes is the recyclotron

[spiral basalt]

oh is that something I should be getting?

I just figured I'd never make something I wanted to destroy afterwards

[west mountain]

You obtain the recyclotron blueprint by scanning alien artifacts

[spiral basalt]

yeah I have it

just never made it

[west mountain]

Its for compacting storage

[gritty nova]

gives back from stuff lets say u put something in it what cost 10 titanium, that will give u like 6 titanium

that's an example

[west mountain]

It gives back 100%

[gritty nova]

it does?

[west mountain]

And you can make infinite number of batteries

[gritty nova]

what

how? TEACH ME MASTER

[gritty nova]

ok this is sus but i dont mean it in a sus way

[west mountain]

Recycle the repair tool and build it again and you are left with a battery, repeat as many times you like

[steel stream]

The upgrade module is already on the first room, and you can grab it on your first visit...

[gritty nova]

ah

[wicked dome]

Whats the best place to get galena outcrops (lead)

[next current]

Thermal Spires and the Twisty Bridges.

[latent mantle]

My bad I got things mixed up sorry about that

[spiral basalt]

I got tired of looking, set up a scanner room and got the hud chip upgrade. Ran around for like 20 minutes and got a full locker of lead.

the spawn area (twisty bridges) works great

[wicked dome]

Alr ty

[wicked dome]

Do the nuclear rods eventually deplete once put in the nuclear reactor? I currently have 4 nuclear rods in the reactor btw

[viral knot]

how do i find ||omega lab?||

[next current]

It's in the center of ||the boulder(?) that's being lifted by Lily Pads. 200 meter depth.||

[bold monolith]

Yes but they have a lot of energy.

[carmine bobcat]

Something about the sunset for OG that's more pleasing

[spark rune]

Oh word?

[glass crest]

Hey can someone help me with something spoiler-heavy? SPOILERS AHEAD

||I met Alan and he's in my head right now. But there's no neon green waypoints for the locations of things like in walkthroughs. I'm in the crystal caves now, and still nothing about anything being nearby. Am I missing something?||

[stoic surge]

Have you started collecting ||parts to build him||? If so, which ones do you have?

[eternal garnet]

you don't get beacons for everything. ||Just one body part has a beacon.||

[glass crest]

Oh weird. I don't know what parts I need. ||Like there's three recipes in my PDA (body, tissue, etc) but they have no known ingredients.||

[eternal garnet]

So all 3

[glass crest]

So I just need to search blind? Bugger

[broken badge]

You get some hints, but you do have to pay some attention to what your noggin buddy tells you

[glass crest]

He hasn't told. Me anything beyond that I need to find him a new storage unit.

[broken badge]

They’re also triggered by proximity, the two that don’t have markers, so you have to be sorta close to the area or he doesn’t say anything

Have you been to delta, and scanned the facilities map there?

Because that map will be helpful overall for the game

[glass crest]

Yeah only have one to check out. Which is probably one of the ones I need. Right now I'm just fighting with delta island crashing. Like usual. Lol

[rare oak]

||I'm not sure how long this game is but I just crafted alan's body and feel like I'm pretty far in but realized I have nothing equipped on my hands and only a compass on the computer chip spot but not a second equipment there, did I miss something or have I not reached those yet..||

[vapid kestrel]

||Only other thing that could be there is the scanner room HUD chip, but you are like at most 30 minutes from beating the game so||

[rare oak]

||The gloves spot has nothing in the game?||

[vapid kestrel]

||Oh, that is where your reinforced suit gloves should go probably||

[rare oak]

||Hmmm I have no idea how I never found the blueprints for those!||

Thanks!!

[vapid kestrel]

No problem

[rare oak]

Fantastic game

||Do you know if both the gloves and suit provide their own benefits or if you have to wear both to get anything out of them?||

||it says each must be placed for them to take effect so I assume its all or nothing?||

[tacit thorn]

• How much hull integrity does you base have?
• Yes.

[steel stream]

You get some effect already from one piece. There are actually 3 different suits to wear in bz, 2 different gloves and 3 different head pieces

[rancid hamlet]

W....why

[jade silo]

Anyone know where I can find Drillable titanium?

[bold monolith]

Tree spires mainly.

World edge.

[steel stream]

Koppa mine

[upper scarab]

||If I'm not mistaken, you eventually get a message from al-an telling you there's something near to seek about, it can include a beacon having a coordinate, or not include it||

does the rechargeable palms have the default palm bonus of 15% speed + recharge your current item, or does it "remove" the palm speed boost and just recharge your battery?

[bold monolith]

You don't have any speed gain from the swim charge fins.

[upper scarab]

ok thanks.

[lilac moth]

i just put 16 penglings in my bioreactor

[mellow geode]

I hope you have more waiting to go in

[honest adder]

Why are you at -8km ??

Wait forget what I told

It's just wrote 8k Depths but i don't know what it means

[honest adder]

Why ? This is meat you could have eaten them ;-;

[honest adder]

You kind 1lso find some at Koppa Mining Site

[honest adder]

I've never beaten BZ, i don't wanna spoil me, but how is Robin gonna go back to the Mercury II ?

[next current]

You'll just have to play the game to find out. 😏

[steel stream]

What do you mean 'go back'? She should first search it and go to it the first time...or do you mean the (unnamed) starship she is in the opening intro?

[honest adder]

Oh, hum yes

I thought the name of the ship was mercury Ii and that the one underwater was the degasi

It would have been cool a wreck for the sunbeam after it exploded not gonna lie

[eternal garnet]

more confusing facts: there are ||3 wrecks. They are all parts of Mercury II||

[honest adder]

Yes there's the back, the bow and the front something line that

A bit co fusing that it did't destroy the island

Confusing*

[mellow geode]

because ||plot armor||

[stone forge]

Can I get some help?

Whenever I get close to the ||vent garden|| My game crashes

[tacit thorn]

8k is the name of the base... and target depth 😈
Currently at 2500-ish

[stone forge]

AHHH

[spiral basalt]

drink some water

[carmine bobcat]

Finally started playing subnautica below zero again after taking a bit of a break and I won't say I made good progress but I got a prawn suit with a Mark II depth module in it so I call that great success now I have to find all of the fragments for the different arms and stuff

Bad news is now I'm out of those blue crystals so now I got to go back not looking forward to that

[eternal garnet]

Fred says "I'm safe in my seatruck". This is because he had the perimeter defense and knew how to use it.

[fast tangle]

Hmm, okay

I just checked out all the subnautica and bz trailers. They all were a piece of art. I really like ||father was right and ice worm|| one. Both depict the game just right.

[next current]

The Ice Worm Update had a phenomenal trailer.

[fast tangle]

There was one ||Fred finding frozen lev||. That was also cool.

Trailers here are good, it giving a cinematic (let us see what actually happen) for lore that we have read through pdas. I wish they had more like this.

Also I forget that mc we play have a name and face. That thing never came to my mind lol. Through a trailer I actually got to see him. Sry talking about og game here.

[honest adder]

oh my gahh

[loud meteor]

where do i unlock ||ion battery ||

and the||ion powercell||

[honest adder]

you will unlock them ||by progressing the story||

[eternal garnet]

by the total number of scanned artifacts. specifically this many: ||6 ||

[loud meteor]

alien ones?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[loud meteor]

k

[eternal garnet]

not all of them get a beacon. explore

[loud meteor]

also i accidentally dropped my gold pet thing in water when moving him

i can't pick it back up

[honest adder]

help me

I hate this biome but there's an essential component

for synthetic fibers ;-;

[loud meteor]

wut biome

[eternal garnet]

got the truck? got the perimeter defense? Learn to use it, and time it. it is manual fire

[loud meteor]

@eternal garnet pls help

[eternal garnet]

Fire it on attack, not before

either load a save, or accept it. You are meant to release it, before that it's not a proper pet. Now it will do tricks

and it can follow you anywhere except in bases

[loud meteor]

aww man

[eternal garnet]

Save often!!

[loud meteor]

is there only 1 gold one

[eternal garnet]

two, in the same spot. They always appear in pairs

[icy coyote]

not much power though. put that integrity to good use and put in a large room with reactors

[loud meteor]

there was only 1 there tho

ill look again tho

[honest adder]

Vent Garden

[honest adder]

yeah I fought that giant leviathan with it

tho the perimeter defense still does self damage

7hp ?

[eternal garnet]

with perfect timing, no

7 isn't bad tho

[honest adder]

then it's the monster that does damage

not the perimeter defense

[eternal garnet]

oh. yes of course it is

defense doesn't hurt you

[honest adder]

just uses 1 percent power

per use

[idle cloud]

with ion power cells you can get 3 uses out of it i think

[honest adder]

i don't have them yet

[idle cloud]

they're really easy to make

actually wait

batteries are easy to make, but power cells require more materials

[idle cloud]

where abouts in the story are you at?

[eternal garnet]

note, there's no reason to fire unless attacked

[idle cloud]

cries in hardcore

[eternal garnet]

you can actually save in hardcore, but you have to quit to do it

[honest adder]

I'm at Artifact Q59

[idle cloud]

i think i know where that is

[idle cloud]

but you cant go back if you about to get attacked.

[eternal garnet]

and quitting HC with the intent to load an earlier save would be cheat

[idle cloud]

true

[honest adder]

But I discover randomly some of the artifacts actually

[idle cloud]

i use hardcore always now, mainly because im just used to it

[eternal garnet]

so it onlly protects from game crash

[idle cloud]

exploration is the most effective strat in the game

[honest adder]

I went to Omega Bacteries Research Labs before going to Phi Robotics

[eternal garnet]

i'd say it's required.

[honest adder]

yeah I know, I play Subnautica since 2017

[eternal garnet]

either that, or game guides

[idle cloud]

nice

[honest adder]

i just didn't played BZ that much for the story until now

I was more modding it

[idle cloud]

yeah, like in the start of the game, if you find an artifact after you've heard the distress call. they'll put a marker at the location

[idle cloud]

nice

i cant mod because i play on ps5

sadly

[honest adder]

yup

of course it is not recommended to jailbreak a PS5 just to mod subnautica

[eternal garnet]

I don't think the mods will work there anyway

[idle cloud]

lmao yeah

[idle cloud]

yep

[eternal garnet]

they are compiled for intel on windows

[idle cloud]

will mac run subnautica smoothly from steam

the 2 steam games that ive played lately were so laggy

and i've tried everything to improve fps

[eternal garnet]

yes. Some may have a graphics driver issue. We have a fix parameter for that

[idle cloud]

??

[eternal garnet]

I can't say what FPS you'd get, you need a non-potato GPU

[idle cloud]

how do i know that i dont have a potato gpu 😭

[eternal garnet]

under 20FPS is no fun even in a non-shooter

which GPU is it? did you try SN1? it runs about the same

[idle cloud]

i havent tried any subnautica on my mac

mainly because i dont wanna spend anither 40 buck on a game to play it on another platform

[eternal garnet]

google will know what GPU is in your model

[idle cloud]

how

i cant find it lol

[honest adder]

i don't have PS SDK/devkit so idk x)

[zenith umbra]

||is their a way to safely scan a shadow leviathan ||

[dark grail]

is it just me or when the shadow leavthin is the most 2nd aggressive leavthin but the ghost leavathin is in 1st

me:hmmm cap

[honest adder]

what is a shadow leviathan ? i don't remember of seeing that in any subnautica

[eternal garnet]

if you haven't finished, don't ask for spoils

[jade silo]

What creature scares y’all the most?

[cunning drum]

||shadow lev||

[tawdry wraith]

my local chalicerate glitched itself into terrain, any way to get it out?

[cunning drum]

why would u want to get it out

[tawdry wraith]

aesthetic reasons

[idle cloud]

emmanuel desjardins

[forest zealot]

this is a very important question, can rock punchers get out of the water?

cause one of them got crazy and got out of the water, help ;-;

[stray breach]

I think they can jump out but I haven't ever seen it happen before so idk

[idle cloud]

anyone know how

to improve framerate when in highquality mode?

[rancid hamlet]

Just beat the game for the first time!!!! 51 hours total

[vast idol]

You can kill it first I guess

Kinda tedious and ruins the whole point of the game

[vast idol]

A group of pengwings after I accidentally hit one of their gang member with a knife

[jade silo]

Valid

[gritty nova]

Nop

[bold monolith]

@merry parrot do you have the game on Steam?

[merry parrot]

yes

[bold monolith]

Right click on the game, properties, betas tab.

Switch to "Legacy".

[merry parrot]

wait Im doing what you say

now?

[bold monolith]

Close the window, try to launch the game.

[merry parrot]

ok

It opened but It is dark screen

should I wait
?

[bold monolith]

A bit. But you probably have a very old CPU.

[merry parrot]

IT OPENEEEEED

REALLY THANK YOU

Im trying like 2 months

[deep kettle]

Does SN1 have the same issue Ignis? (Probably asked before but I forgot lol).

[bold monolith]

No, they fixed it in SN1. And I think BZ experimental is fixed as well.

By fixed I meant they checked the burst option in Unity to use old cpu instruction sets.

[deep kettle]

You can't be seriously telling me that they made an entire branch specifically for this while it was a button press right 😅

[light frost]

Do viens respawn

[deep kettle]

if with "respond" you're referring to "respawn" then no.

[light frost]

sorry

[deep kettle]

All fine but just making sure I'm not answering the wrong question 😛

[light frost]

Yeah I need more titanium

and I think the Kapper Mine is running out of viens

[bold monolith]

I am.

The branch is just different because of the two dlls, which is just an option you have to check in the project.

The target architectures.

[light frost]

So besides the mine any good places to drill for titanium

[bold monolith]

What is "viens"?

Veins?

[deep kettle]

I assumed it meant veins yeah.

[light frost]

my spelling is off today

[bold monolith]

Tree Spires is good for the drillable titanium nodes.

The world edge is good as well, and probably Crystal Cave.

[light frost]

is it near any leviathans

[bold monolith]

Tree Spires has two. But they're close.

So not the integrality of the biome is dangerous.

[light frost]

what are the two

[bold monolith]

Nothing at the world Edge and Crystal Caves has two.

Two chelicerates for Tree Spires, near the same Ventgarden.

In Crystal Caves, you have the shadows.

[light frost]

Any tips on how not to get eaten

[bold monolith]

Contrary to the chelicerates, they roam.

Just don't get too close, and worst case you can just repair as usual.

You have a safe window after each attack.

[light frost]

How much health do they have

[bold monolith]

5k.

[light frost]

wish I had some offensive capabilities like a weapon

but anyway thank you

[bold monolith]

It wouldn't be Subnautica.

[light frost]

true

the danger makes the game

also makes me glad creatures like the Leviathans don't exist on out planet

and most of the big things in the ocean like whales and etc don't see humans as food

[vernal solar]

Hey

im thinking about buying subnautica but if i want to, which one? The first or second one

[idle cloud]

always start with the first game]

its a bit longer, and the controls are easy aswell

[lyric holly]

Guys I want to build a base in crystal caves do you have any cool spots?

[honest adder]

some mods do that in concordance with the lore

hum... hold on... is there a way to change upgrades of a seatruck while it is into a seadock ??

how do I upgrade my depth module ??

[eternal garnet]

no, undock first

upgrading depth below 150m? It takes at least 30 seconds for the truck to die. If you prepare, you have time to run inside and build it

Save game, obviously

[honest adder]

I don't like the idea xD

this is not really well made

it would have been great to be able to access the panel from the dock

Do we find lead in Vent Garden biome ?

[eternal garnet]

I think so. it's named tree spires btw

[honest adder]

Oh

ok, well tree spires biome, because until now I only found argentite... which i don't really need anymore since i have maybe 3 lockers full of silver

where do we find magnetite ? i thought I could find some under the hydrothermal chimney under the vent gardens, but nope

is it in the crystal caves biome ?

wanna be sure, all this is the tree spires biomes ?

[eternal garnet]

not quite (very minor spoiler)

[pliant jetty]

First game is, more of a rock puncher, but feels more liberating as a result.

[pliant jetty]

Second has more narrative, but consequently feels more constrained

Both are solid, it's the first one I call home

I don't really return to below zero

[honest adder]

oh okay

yeah and this is the biological deadzone

[vernal solar]

wdym by rock puncher

[honest adder]

it is really sad that the map was so little

[light frost]

Away from that Leviathan

[honest adder]

reason why I love this biome:

[light frost]

I have not been there yet

[honest adder]

there's a big leviathan looking like a crab

or a lobster

[barren atlas]

can you give me the full map please, I’ve never found one that works for me..

[eternal garnet]

this only has biome names and location

[barren atlas]

works for me.. thx ;)

[viral knot]

i cant find it

[eternal garnet]

Omega as seen from pilot's beacon, fog removed. Note the compass

[pliant jetty]

Early survival games, in mine craft vein

Where you punch trees and rocks

[vernal solar]

ah

[pliant jetty]

It loses so much majesty without the fog

[vast idol]

Look straight out of avatar.

Lol.

[viral knot]

where can i find this big aquarium?

[steel stream]

Blueprint for alien containment? Mercury 2 bow section, in lilypads biome

[eternal garnet]

yes, in the south-west end of the biome

[buoyant musk]

How goods the Sea Truck?

[carmine bobcat]

u dont even really need the models

but ye its very good

[viral knot]

amazing

[viral knot]

how far from pilot's location

[eternal garnet]

300-400m

Straight south, I think

huge, you can't miss it

[buoyant musk]

I see, can haul around a base?

[eternal garnet]

no, you can't build in it, but you can get modules with storage, fabrication and others

[buoyant musk]

Oh I see

So you just eun around but need to stop to load up on food?

[eternal garnet]

there's a fishcatcher module, the "aquarium"

you don't get these from the beginning

[wicked dome]

Are there other leviathen eggs other than the glow whale one?

[eternal garnet]

I guess not

[viral knot]

straight south from the pilot's location?

[wicked dome]

Like accessible through commands or something

[eternal garnet]

yes

[viral knot]

at the end

think i reached the end and i didnt see it lol

i reached the end of lily pads

and i dont see it lol💀

[eternal garnet]

Looking at this map, not sure where this beacon is. But the bow is in the bottom left corner of lilypads

(south-west)

[viral knot]

i went bottom east brruh💀

k i found it

i guess i have to go innit?

from the back or left or right or what?

[eternal garnet]

if you die, not so bad if you have a beacon. it drops too

there's also o2 plants, but still, it's stressful

[viral knot]

im with my sea truck there

[eternal garnet]

it's big, and it's a maze

[viral knot]

im glad i took laser cutter

got the aquarium right away from the entrance on right

[mortal gulch]

hi

i started game 4 days ago.

[eternal garnet]

beware of spoilers here. don't click all the black boxes

||||

[mortal gulch]

what can i do to progress in the game and where do i get the base builder and how can i develop the subnautica story below zero

[eternal garnet]

the game is driven by exploration. Explore, especially around any beacons you may be given, and any distress call.
Builder: best spot is exactly 120m down in twisty bridges canyon, by a little building, because it has something else you need

this is south of your pod. North is the volcano and the small moon (it is always north)

Save often. If the monkeys want to steal, hide your tool (PC: E)

[mortal gulch]

ok, but where i find the base builder because i think theres in fabricator

[eternal garnet]

i said "builder:". There

[mortal gulch]

but.... it isn't in the fabricator

ok

[eternal garnet]

no, you need to scan one first. Just one

[mortal gulch]

thank you.

but i have a question. where i find the twisty bridges canyon

[eternal garnet]

it's just south a little, where your current biome gets deeper

pod is in north twisty bridges

[mortal gulch]

tysm for information

[north lintel]

hello

[eternal garnet]

wasted any plasteel today?

[viral knot]

@eternal garnet 😍

[eternal garnet]

👍🏼

[viral knot]

this is so cute

[eternal garnet]

confirmed

[tacit comet]

Is that a Sea Monkey? It looks so small.

[eternal garnet]

it's a baby seamonkey

[tacit comet]

its beautiful...

[viral knot]

unlimited food

• water😭

one big mess lol

i want squid shark egg

[eternal garnet]

no, that isn't great for food. it's more decoration

[viral knot]

ik

[tacit comet]

In original Subnautica, you could use it as a horrible food source if you had the coffee maker to compensate for its negative water.

Now coffee gives + Body heat, - water in BZ

[viral knot]

are they gonna grow up

@eternal garnet

[eternal garnet]

yes

[viral knot]

uuuuuuuuuuuh

[eternal garnet]

unless, maybe, if you put em in a small aquarium

[viral knot]

the squid

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

will it destroy the aquarium then?

[eternal garnet]

no, nothing in there attacks anything. Also released animals will never attack you

[viral knot]

can i have frien shork

[eternal garnet]

yeees

[viral knot]

finally

😍

[south horizon]

should i get subnautica or subnautica below zero? im torn

[delicate pawn]

Both if you can. If you can only get one, go with Subnautica original. Below Zero builds on top of it in terms of story.

[south horizon]

ty

[buoyant musk]

What modules do you tank on the sea truck?

Im thinking of getting BZ

[tacit comet]

I like using (in this order) Main Cabin (obviously), Fabricator Module, Storage Module (sometimes two if I need to gather a lot of resources), Docking Module (for Prawn).

[buoyant musk]

How many modules can you attavh?

[tacit comet]

I often have food/water like spicy fruit salad or large water so I don't need/use the aquarium.

Oh, any number, but it get progressively slower.

After 5-6 it barely moves at all.

I'd recommend sticking to 4, not including main cabin.

[buoyant musk]

Is fruit salad and prepared meals better?

[tacit comet]

Well, in BZ, spicy fruit salad is easy to make, doesn't spoil and gives you +85 food +35 water, and +100 Body Heat (iirc) so it's a much better food source than just catching fish from the aquarium module, and wasting a slot that you could use from fabricator or storage instead.

It also only takes up 1 item slot, so it's a great food item for traveling.

[buoyant musk]

Wow nice so just stock up on some fruit salad?

[tacit comet]

Yeah, have you played BZ?

[buoyant musk]

No

[tacit comet]

Ok.

It's not a early game item, but I'd recommend swapping to it as soon as you can.

[buoyant musk]

can you store fish in storage,m

[tacit comet]

Yes, as long as they're not cooked, they won't spoil.

But if you want to eat them, and you don't have a fabricator nearby, you should cure them before you go on a journey.

[buoyant musk]

Sounds good, looks like stockpiling food important in BZ

cos cant grow stuffbin the truck

[tacit comet]

Yeah, but you don't really need to stay and live in the truck like you can in og Sub's cyclops.

The maps more cramped, so the distance to most areas is shorter and takes less time.

You can survive fine with one base near the middle, and still visit it quickly and frequently.

[buoyant musk]

Ohhh I see

[tacit comet]

Yeah, you'll be fine. I always keep 2 food items and 2 water in my seatruck in case I need it, but I rarely do.

[buoyant musk]

So you don need to be carrying gear to set up charging bases?

[carmine bobcat]

get both if you can

[tacit comet]

Well, if you really want to be able to set up a base anywhere, you can, but I’m saying that you don’t really need to do that in BZ, since the maps small enough.

If you bring the fabricator module, which I highly recommend, you could set up a base whenever assuming you have the right materials nearby.

Depending on the base you’re making you might want to bring lubricant for moonpool, and table coral/computer chips since those items aren’t found outside of certain biomes.

(Or just bring plants and enough titanium for an outside growbed if you’re willing to wait for them to grow.) You’ll still need Table Coral though, you can’t grow that.

Technically, all you need for a quick charging base should be 2x Titanium Ingot, 2x Lubricant, 2x Lead, Copper Wire, 2x Wiring Kit, 10x Titanium.

Assuming Moonpool, Multipurpose room with Bioreactor and Battery Charger

It only takes up 19 slots and all you really need to bring is the Lubricant and a fabricator module, since the rest should be easy-ish to find.

[buoyant musk]

I see, thats pretty neat

Maybe all need is to build a moonpool

How bout a Scanner room?

[tacit comet]

Yeah, like the Cyclops, the ability to have a portable fabricator is super nice.

[tacit comet]

Well I assumed a quick charging base, not a permanent outpost.

[buoyant musk]

Well scanning for resources nearby and pack up when done

[tacit comet]

My opinion is that you only one base in BZ, so you shouldn’t need to stop and recharge.

Having one at your main base should be fine.

[buoyant musk]

I see 😔

One scanner room can cover a lot?

[tacit comet]

If you’re at the point where you want a scanner room, and you need to meet it’s power requirements, then you should just build a permanent base

With range modules, yes, but not like multiple biomes on the map.

[buoyant musk]

it takes a lot of power?

👀

[tacit comet]

Eh, enough that Solar and bioractors can’t cover it alone.

But together it should be fine

[buoyant musk]

In Subnautica I just carry mats for a multipurpose, bioreactor, cell charger and a scanner room with 4 range modules

[eternal garnet]

remember to stop scanning to not waste power

[buoyant musk]

And Gel Sacks + Grow bed for power

Cos can propagate them fast haha

[tacit comet]

It’s up to you, but if you’re utilizing a portable scanner room, then you’ll need somewhere to put resources.

[buoyant musk]

Oh true! 💀💀

[tacit comet]

I’d just use scanners on permanent bases

[buoyant musk]

Can cart them back to main base

[tacit comet]

But that’s just me

[buoyant musk]

I don wanna have storages scattered around

cos forget about them and thats that

[tacit comet]

If you want multiple scanners, my opinion is multiple bases, otherwise, I’d just use one

[buoyant musk]

I guess can scan make trips back 🤔

Can do like 3 storage modules ok?

[eternal garnet]

yes, but the truck gets slower with a long train

[buoyant musk]

I see 😭

and cant run from predators fast anymore?

[eternal garnet]

no... but you don't need to with perimeter defense

[buoyant musk]

what if they attack your cargo?

and lose all your loot?

[eternal garnet]

they never do

[buoyant musk]

Oh I see

Is the Sleeper module useful?

[eternal garnet]

kinda. has a jukebox and pictureframe also

[buoyant musk]

I see, looks cozy

[viral knot]

yis, jukebox most important thing

So I can jam to some music when I go on a trip

also if you wanna catch some free fish get aquarium module

it just catches free fish when truck is on the go or just sitting in the dock or outside the base

it can also give you great view bc it’s just mostly glass

so on a longer trip when u just wanna stay for a moment in one place and relax safely you can do that

but except for that it’s pretty useless

just additional weight

[pliant jetty]

going to say only psychologically.

you can skip to the morning or blast music

[spiral basalt]

where sleeper module fragments? I need this

[broken badge]

purple vents area but not where the docking module fragments are, the fragments are in a bit of a different area, closer to where a cheli patrols so you have to be careful

[ornate tendon]

Can't get power transmitters to work correctly no matter what I do. They alwayz connect to my base's solar panels, never power the base itself.

[broken badge]

Where the holographic line connects to shouldn’t matter. The power should be transmitted to the base just the same. Are you saying the numbers aren’t correct?

[ornate tendon]

The numbers did not increase.

[broken badge]

Are your solar panels connected to your base?

Like physically attached

[ornate tendon]

I started my base with solar and nuclear. Wanted to add thermal later by making a line of transmitters from a vent 300m away

Line goes the entire distance. Does not increase power to the base.

And will not power any other base I tried connecting it to

[broken badge]

Bases cannot share power, so power will only distribute to one base or another

[ornate tendon]

I know that

I have one base

[broken badge]

Just checking

[ornate tendon]

I tried building a 2nd base just to test it, also wouldn't power that one

[broken badge]

These solar panels, are they also some distance from the base and also connected to the base by power transmitters

[ornate tendon]

Deleted test base

Solar panels are directly attached to my base

[broken badge]

Have you tried reloading to maybe see if that would change things?

[ornate tendon]

Yes

[broken badge]

Sometimes there are weird issues with power transmitters. I’m not sure what to do, you could move the solar panels to another side to see if that made any difference I guess
It all just depends on how much you really need the thermal power

[ornate tendon]

I don't need the thermal at all just thought it would be fun to try it for once since I have done like 8 playthroughs and never touched thermal

But the buginess of the transmitters means I will never feel the need to use it

Scratched that one off I guess

[broken badge]

That sucks it’s not working for you. It certainly can work, so sorry that it’s being uncooperative for you😔

[ornate tendon]

It would be a nice backup to nuclear if I had a deep base

But my base is usually near the surface in the middle where solar and nuclear do just fine

Thermal is just for memes in my mind

[broken badge]

I remember one time I set up a base in the tree spires area, and I needed power so I could run a recylotron in order to have my building materials broken back down to build my nuclear reactor and such lol. So I ran solar panels from way up above, probably several hundred meters away from my base I’d made using power transmitters to cover that distance. So they CAN work, I’m just not sure what’s causing the issue in your situation unfortunately

I don’t use thermal much tbh, sure it’s fine, and in certain niche circumstances it can be very nice. But I don’t use it a lot. Solar in more shallow areas is very good. Bioreactor is a nice supplement. Deeper areas I find nuclear is amazing

[ornate tendon]

I found a reddit thread of someone with the same issue

It is the solar panels

Cuz the transmitter is connecting to them rather than my base

So I guess I will have to make a platform 100m away from my base just to have my solar panels on

And then link that up with the thermal line

And have both running to the base

Kinda annoying but whatever. I guess having no panels on my base will look cleaner at least

No wait because the transmitter didn't connect to my test base either

With no panels

Yeah transmitters are broken I am not putting more time into them

[humble willow]

I swear there's always one more Chelly here than I remember

[maiden rampart]

Are there new updates for below zero

[steel stream]

Are your thermal plants on foundations? Because then that foundation would count as a base and the thermal reactors only power that 'base', and also power transmitters could link the solar power to that 'base'...@ornate tendon

[rigid valley]

I live there ‼️

Well around there anyway

[honest adder]

there's only one

but I love this biome, it's so resting and beautiful

I even built my base here

that's why I can confirm that there's only one

[carmine bobcat]

Should I buy bz?
