[wind solar]

@sterile solstice if you are ps user take your convo to #below-zero-ps

[tacit comet]

No, it's fine any users can talk on any chats.

[wind solar]

alr

[tacit comet]

Some chats are more active than others, and unless it's about a feature or issue specific to that console, general chat is completely fine.

[sterile solstice]

where the hell am i

[eternal garnet]

the bottom says "lilypads"

[sterile solstice]

the bottom???

[eternal garnet]

the grass.

[unkempt scroll]

Pls dont do that joke.

[sterile solstice]

oh

[sterile solstice]

what joke

[tacit comet]

yeah

[unkempt scroll]

Good.

[tacit comet]

What joke is being joked here?

[torn copper]

?

[tacit comet]

indeed

[torn copper]

move that to #below-zero-chat pls

[tacit comet]

sigh

[torn copper]

I. will. never. forget.

[unkempt scroll]

Im glad no one even noticed an opportunity.

[sterile solstice]

bro what the hell did i just come across

[torn copper]

im so confused

[eternal garnet]

there are many things to find in lilypads

[lime grove]

like lilypads

[sterile solstice]

idk if im just so tired im not even scared anymore or if this just isnt scary but look

i think im just so tired i dont even have emotion anymore

[lime grove]

he kinda hungry

[torn copper]

also lillypads, etc.

[eternal garnet]

use your defense thing. it stops an attack

[sterile solstice]

that kinda hurt ngl

[torn copper]

use the perimiter defence while its attacking

[sterile solstice]

yeah i figured that out after i got attacked

i got the ||recyclotron|| blueprint (very minor spoiler)

[carmine bobcat]

Where do you find that upgrade's fragment btw

[carmine bobcat]

Now you can recycle your second rebreather

[eternal garnet]

defense you can pick up, ready to use, at the "pilot" home

[tacit comet]

In the Lilypad Caves.

[carmine bobcat]

Wait really? I didn't notice it there. Damn I feel blind

[tacit comet]

It's tiny, since it's an upgrade module.

[eternal garnet]

it's kinda hidden on the messy floor

[torn copper]

and in seamonkey nests

[eternal garnet]

I believe it's actually a bug. it was on a crate, but it gets knocked over by Preston, the "dog"

You can see that thru the glass roof

[tacit comet]

lol

[tacit comet]

Uh oh.

I think I trapped my friend on accident.

[vast idol]

It’s literally a reaper ripoff, lol

[unkempt scroll]

Still has a better design than reaper, lol

[vast idol]

While I thinks that the reaper is more intimidating because well
Its not an oversized shrimp I gotta agree the design is a lot better

[eternal garnet]

The sound of the reaper is just perfect. Optimized for terror

[viral knot]

man

replace void chelicerate with ice ghost leviathan

BZ version of ghost leviathan

i would never enter the void

it would be much scarier than the broken shrimp

just like this said

i dont see place for arctic reefbacks here though

[tacit comet]

I love the random "shoutout to squidshark" in the corner.

[sacred echo]

Bought bz today

Will probably play it after I'm done with thw first game

[unkempt scroll]

Chelicerates and void chrlicerates are completely fine. There is no need to replace them with anybody.

We DO need arctic reefnacks though.

[tacit comet]

lol

[quartz arch]

They tried to replace them with glow wales but it just doesnt hit the same

[unkempt scroll]

They are fine but dont have many similarities with reefbacks.

I meanyou can swim on them.

[tacit comet]

I liked reefbacks, but they just looked a little weird.

I don't like the bumpy shell-like backs as much as the smoother whales.

idk why.

[safe sun]

I somewhat agree, but they hit different for good reasons. I love glow whales.

[carmine bobcat]

I like glow whales more

Reefbacks annoyed me with their voice

Though both are cool

[fading cloud]

Does anybody know if the horsepower upgrade is stackable

[bold monolith]

It is not.

[fading cloud]

Ty

[chrome cedar]

Pity that...

[junior skiff]

if it was....

my god could you go fast

[chrome cedar]

Not with all the modules I haul around. LoL

[frigid depot]

Yes killed shadow leviathan

Honestly I advise you all to kill it instead of trying to avoid it

Makes everything so much easier

[carmine bobcat]

Congrats

By the way do deep twisty bridges have anything important? I hate squid sharks.

By something important I mean artifact or a hard-to-find fragment

[eternal garnet]

yes, 2 unique truck modules. Easy diamonds, gelsacks, 1 unimportant artifact

[carmine bobcat]

I guess I gotta survive the squid sharks

[frigid depot]

What artifact? I went down there earlier today to get those modules but didn’t see any artifact

[eternal garnet]

its a weird glowy pyramid

[frigid depot]

Hmmm ok, I guess I’m gonna head back down there

[eternal garnet]

you don't need to get all artifacts, past 10

The last reward is at 10

[patent night]

Lmao plz help i have gotten the sea glide and a few other stuffs but I don’t know how to progress from here

😭

[eternal garnet]

find the island, south. All around it are truck fragments. Go up. Ignore grumpy old alert recording. If you hear a distress call, find the source

[patent night]

Isn’t there a spiky black man around there

With a blue glow

[eternal garnet]

huh.

the crocs? They scare easily

(The distress call is not on the island)

[patent night]

what

The Crypto miner guys

[eternal garnet]

cryptosuchus, yes, crocs

[patent night]

@eternal garnet

Yes those

I don’t have a compass yet

[eternal garnet]

north is the volcano. and the small moon

[patent night]

Are u able to guide me

Because I’m lost

[eternal garnet]

noe

[patent night]

Ok

So do I just go?

Are there any other spooky scaries to watch out for

[sterile solstice]

i hate those

[patent night]

I snuck past one and and it damn ogre roared right in my face

[carmine bobcat]

Nah the chelicerate is way scarier than the ghost. Huge crushing mandibles. A powerful roar. A beak with layers of razor sharp teeth. Then you got the ghost... A shrieking hammerhead worm with a toothless mouth. Eats microscopic life...

[sterile solstice]

yeah chelicerate is scary the ghost leviathan never really scared me

[junior skiff]

why are there only a certain amount of ||ion cubes|| you can get
im gonna want more ||ion batteries|| eventually

[carmine bobcat]

there are 69 obtainable in total

that should be plenty to use for power cells and batteries plus other purposes. i have no idea if they respawn though

[junior skiff]

woah where are the like 40 that i havent found

[carmine bobcat]

probably deposits

[fading cloud]

Does anybody know how long it will take to kill a ||shadow levithan|| with the prawn drill?

[violet mantle]

What is the best way to do so?

[frigid depot]

Took me like 5 minutes I think

[fading cloud]

ye i just did it

i forgot to save and accidentally left the game tho

so i might have to do it again

lol

[frigid depot]

Well I got lucky because he got stuck but you know those crevices well let him attack you in that and then grapple onto him when I did that he got stuck so I just grappled onto him the whole time while drilling

[frigid depot]

These scare me more than any other thing in bz because I hate loud noises and they are just so extra like why do they come at you like they do

[fading cloud]

lol thats what i did

my sea truck keeps just randomly getting stuck and i have disconnect all my modules and then reconnect them in order for it to move again

[frigid depot]

Bruh I beat the game earlier and rejoined my world to mess around and get the rest of the artifacts I didn’t get but I’m back at my last save

[broken badge]

It didn’t set you back to the save you made right before you finished?

[fading cloud]

Also i got this game right when it came out and played for like 2 hours and havent touched it until a few days ago. When it first came out didnt you spawn in a facility on the snow island?

[broken badge]

I know it’s changed a lot since early access. It didn’t come out for consoles until May 2022, so I didn’t have the game before then.

You can also take the seatruck cabin down with the max depth upgrade and perimeter defense and shadows won’t bother you

[fading cloud]

Perimeter defense works on them?

[broken badge]

Yes, it works on pretty much all things

[fading cloud]

it didnt work on the chelicerate and it didnt work so i assumed it was the same with the shadow leviathan

i wish i knew it worked earlier lol

[broken badge]

It works on the cheli too, just have to time it right

[fading cloud]

o

Normal i would just get out of the drivers seat when the shadows got close and they wouldnt aggro

[carmine bobcat]

this is my first time actually working on the story so i went to the outpost zero then to ds and is the lady there gonna come back later in the story?

[broken badge]

You should’ve received a marker you should investigate, the last known pilot’s location

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah I haven’t Gone there yet

I’m still upgrading my seatruck

[broken badge]

You’ll want seatruck, ideally with the mk1 depth upgrade, although you can get by without it, just watch your oxygen carefully if you do

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah

I just need lead

Then I’ll head there also is the Al an guy a big thing in the game?

[broken badge]

You can find some galena outcrops around the delta island area

[carmine bobcat]

Is that where I can find lead?

[broken badge]

Yes, pretty important xD

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah I already got the first artifact

Just haven’t had a chance to go to the second one yet

[broken badge]

You went to the SOS signal?

[carmine bobcat]

Yep

I went there then he called and I went to the second

Got some diamond while I was down there

[broken badge]

There’s other places with galena for lead, but around the shallower areas of thermal spires around delta island is one of the earlier places you can find it (also some areas in twisty bridges) if you can avoid getting munched by the armored crocs (they’re more noisy than harmful, if you knife them or bump with the seatruck they’ll leave you alone for a bit, it’s more that there’s a lot of them)

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah I hate those lol

The crocs

Does it matter where I go first on the facilities map?

[broken badge]

No really. The game isn’t exactly linear per se. You can go exploring, just save often

[carmine bobcat]

Ok

[broken badge]

There’s some things that will need to be done in a certain order, but the game doesn’t “punish” exploration

[carmine bobcat]

Oh

Do I need a habitat for the modification thingy

I know the mk1 is made in the regular fabricator but do I need it for the other depth modules

[broken badge]

The modification station? You’ll need a base, yes, but it doesn’t need to be a big base.
Oh the game has changed in regards to what you can make at the regular fabricator. You no longer need a vehicle upgrade console for much of anything. Most vehicle related stuff can be made at the fabricator, or the modification station

[carmine bobcat]

Oh

[broken badge]

They also added a seatruck dock, which will hold your seatruck cabin and multiple modules once you have them so you can move stuff from the modules’ storage directly into the base, without having to leave the base and ferry stuff back and forth into your base.

[carmine bobcat]

I think I should take a storage module with me

Yeah I saw

I think I should take a storage module with me to the pilot location

[broken badge]

Seatruck, plus storage and fabricator modules, is a nice setup once you start doing a lot of resource collection runs.

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah

I think I’ll work on that

Cause the pilot is pretty deep right?

[broken badge]

But adding storage is a good start

[carmine bobcat]

Yup

[broken badge]

I forget how deep it is, but yeah it’s deep enough that having the first depth upgrade is nice

[carmine bobcat]

Ok

Thanks

[broken badge]

Np

[carmine bobcat]

I’ll lyk if I need more tips

[broken badge]

Sure. And if I’m not around, there’s other folks who can help out as well

[carmine bobcat]

Yup

[carmine bobcat]

@broken badge if ur still here

Where would you recommend I make a base

[broken badge]

Most often I see people recommend somewhere central, so like somewhere near delta island perhaps. Although you can make one wherever you fancy. But when you don’t know the biomes well, it’s nice to get some ideas, sure. If you know where that “shark cage” place is in the twisty bridges area, before you reach delta island, that’s where I make my first base (a very simple one) but that’s only because I don’t like being around all the crocs near the island😅

[carmine bobcat]

Delta is the center on the facilities map correct?

[broken badge]

Yeah

[carmine bobcat]

Ah okay

What about on the other side of it

Is that a good spot?

[broken badge]

This isn’t quite the same as the map you get in the game, but it’s pretty close

[carmine bobcat]

Hm

[broken badge]

Well, there’s maybe something a bit dangerous swimming on one side of the island, but I don’t remember which direction you come across it

Ok more than a bit😬

[carmine bobcat]

Is it a leviathan?

[broken badge]

….maybe?

I don’t want to spoil for you

||but yes it’s a leviathan||

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah I think it is

I accidentally went over there once

And a big fish just jumped out

And killed me

[broken badge]

I think I went a long time before I even knew it was over there

[carmine bobcat]

Like past it?

I would say over there is a good spot for a base as I know probably the good biomes are over there

[broken badge]

There’s good areas around there, sure

If you’re in an area and you don’t see anything attacking you, and there’s good resources, go for it.

[carmine bobcat]

Can creatures attack my base?

[broken badge]

No

[carmine bobcat]

Perfect

I know all the good stuff is over there

Also

What can I do with these ion cubes I picked them up on the way to Al An

[broken badge]

Did you play the first game?

[carmine bobcat]

I did

But I never really played the story I did all the life pods

And I explored the aurora

Then disabled the sunbeam thing

[broken badge]

Ok so, you’ll eventually be able to make ion tech, the ion batteries and ion power cells. But you get those much earlier in the game than in Subnautica (thank goodness) so yes, save those

[carmine bobcat]

Can I use them as regular batteries?

Like in my sea glide

[broken badge]

They’re interchangeable, but much higher capacity

So yep

They work in the same equipment and charge in the same kind of chargers

[carmine bobcat]

Perfect

[broken badge]

Yes, very handy

[carmine bobcat]

I would assume that I unlock them from alan

[broken badge]

It’s related, visiting artifact locations. Some things unlock based on the number of places you’ve visited, tech I mean

[carmine bobcat]

Oh

Gotcha

Ok so I’m going to go find a spot for a base make some stuff then I’ll report back to you

[broken badge]

I might be getting off soon because I have a migraine but if you don’t hear from me, best of luck!

[carmine bobcat]

Thanks

I’ll cya probably tomorrow then

If that’s when your on

[broken badge]

I usually check in and see what’s up. Take care👋

[carmine bobcat]

Cya

[carmine bobcat]

and then an avalance takes it out

[carmine bobcat]

you got to charge the perimeter defense a bit before releasing for the chelicerate

[carmine bobcat]

i may be able to help if you have more questions

[fading cloud]

i forgot you could charge it up 💀

[carmine bobcat]

xD

[harsh cosmos]

how do you put pipes vertically down? I got to 70m before they started glitching and can't go deeper anymore. I play on ps4

[carmine bobcat]

Speaking from experience. Air bladders help more. They also help in running away from anything aggressive

[harsh cosmos]

they give so little air

[carmine bobcat]

That's just their second usage

Use them to go up immediately and breath (or to escape) and go down again

[harsh cosmos]

Thats not gonna work at deep places as you can barely explore by the time you get down

[carmine bobcat]

Do you have seamoth?

I mean seaglide

[harsh cosmos]

nope

[carmine bobcat]

Get sea glide before going too far. Their fragments are easy to find

And it helps a ton

And with sea glide going down will be much faster and you'll see how good the air bladder is. Also make the best o2 tank possible with your current resources if you didn't already

[carmine bobcat]

Is there any safe area for magnetite in this game?

i find everything i need in the deep lily pad caves

though... i struggle with lead

[steel stream]

Build larger O2 tank (or several tanks) and use seatruck for deeper underwater explorations...pipes are quite inefficient. Even building a temporary small base for air supply could be better than pipes

[sterile solstice]

yeah if you just get like a hatch, compartment, and some power source you can just keep reconstructing the base over and over

dont quote me on that tho im not a pro at bz yet so im not sure if its the same as subnautica but im like 90% sure u can do that

[carmine bobcat]

Is ||artichect artifact PK8|| safe. Same question for ||artichect artifact body||

[carmine bobcat]

whers the fun in safe? (:

[sterile solstice]

you'll have to find out

[carmine bobcat]

Oh shoot

[sterile solstice]

just save your game and go

i would tell you but i want a surprise for you

[carmine bobcat]

Eh true

I am kinda afraid of getting jumpscared but you guys are right

if its the one i think it is

no its not safe

ill tell you more about it if i can learn how to do spoiler tags

[sterile solstice]

put || before and after the message you wanna spoiler

[carmine bobcat]

thanks

[sterile solstice]

i'll just tell you. ||im pretty sure its safe, but on my way back home from it i encountered a chelicerate so im not sure||

[carmine bobcat]

Oh I already||scared that chelicerate and it's afraid of me more than how much I'm afraid of it, so that one isn't a problem||

If it's the one i think it is, there is a ||chelicerate|| swimming around the center of the ||crater that the artifact is in||. So if you dont have ||perimeter defense|| just try to stay low

[sterile solstice]

i dont think you can scare a leviathan bro, its literally coded to attack you lol

[carmine bobcat]

By scared I meant it ran away

[sterile solstice]

they can do that?

im pretty sure they have a certain patrol zone they're developed to stay in

[carmine bobcat]

using a certain module yeah

[sterile solstice]

or maybe thats only subnautica 1

[sterile solstice]

oh cool

[carmine bobcat]

Well a chelicerate did run away to thermal spires (it came back though)

[carmine bobcat]

wait you mean the creature?

[sterile solstice]

yeah

[carmine bobcat]

When I attack it it goes far away which makes me think it's running away

being scared?

yeah if you shock them hard enough

[sterile solstice]

yeah he said he scared the creature away from him

[sterile solstice]

oh cool

[carmine bobcat]

just charge your perimeter defense to about half way

or higher

[sterile solstice]

im still very new to below zero so i havnt really seen much

[carmine bobcat]

you can do it to any creature in any game as far as im aware

just send a fully charged shock at them

[carmine bobcat]

You can charge the perimeter to shock harder?

[carmine bobcat]

yes

just hold the button...

im surprised how many people actually dont know this

Are lily paddlers a thing to worry about

[eternal garnet]

minor. depth and seatruck beacon will lie to you, so you may drown

[carmine bobcat]

Oh ok. Thanks

So they don't bite you?

[eternal garnet]

no, they drug you. To avoid, look the other way

[polar spade]

yall i lowkey forgor about subnautica

[eternal garnet]

great! Now you can play it again as new

[frigid depot]

I just realized I beat the game without the best O2 tank

I had the one with 135 oxygen

[eternal garnet]

did you at least have 2 of them

It's an useful tip. But hardly necessary with the Ultra

[chrome cedar]

You can beat the game without it, if you strictly only focus on completing tasks. Most folks, myself included, start doing extra things like collecting extra resources and building up a decent base that aren't actually needed.

I spend way too much time swimming around collecting things because I enjoy it. LOL

[carmine bobcat]

Do you feel cold while using snowfox?

[eternal garnet]

no, it heats you

tip: an unpowered tiny base will warm you too

[carmine bobcat]

So there isn't any reason to make the cold suit?

Because you can just go to your vehicle and warm yourself

[eternal garnet]

it makes things more relaxed. it's not vital. I think it has an achievement- let me look

yes it does

[carmine bobcat]

Oh ok. That's nice to know

[carmine bobcat]

Also thanks

[steel stream]

Or eating food that gives heat...there are few alternatives for that even

[chrome cedar]

I used that trick a few times, simple I-corridor and a hatch to warm up while doing something outside. Pain having to go in to warm up every time, cold suit helps a lot.

[eternal garnet]

note that you only need the cold suit on land. The large land areas

[chrome cedar]

That part always bugged me, wearing it underwater. It seems that it would get very soggy and heavy. Gotta love future clothing.

[tacit comet]

I personally do use it because the screen gets blurry really quickly, which is annoying, even if you’re not that low on body heat.

[gritty scroll]

Dude

Just a heads up there's a crazy discount on the switch rn

[chrome cedar]

If you’re having to walk a distance you’d need it, if your vehicle dies or gets destroyed, for example.

[chrome cedar]

Oh yeah?

[gritty scroll]

Yea

$9.89 USD

[chrome cedar]

Nice…. I’m holding out for a Steam sale before buying it again. Have the PS4 versions.

[gritty scroll]

That's okay

[chrome cedar]

May want to post that in the Switch chat too.

[gritty scroll]

Good call

[tough halo]

Do regular chelicerates respawn if killed

[eternal garnet]

not usually, no

[tawdry mantle]

||Marguerit Maida|| is so cool that she devoured Reaper Leviathan flesh for dinner!

[tacit thorn]

I've been playing since january, and I learn that now, after beating the main game story...
It just literally fried all the fishes in 50m radius

[tacit thorn]

it uses the 'bear' fur, that is both insulating and water resistant, since they swim.

[broken badge]

According to the wiki, holding the charge for the perimeter defense results in a larger radius for damage, I’m not sure if it increases the damage done. Do you know if it does @eternal garnet ?

[eternal garnet]

it does, but for stopping attack, there's no need

[broken badge]

Yeah, you don’t really need to hold a charge

[tacit comet]

Does anyone know why Rite of the Deep by Steve Pardo isn’t on Spotify? I can’t find it, and don’t where I else I should look.

[patent night]

Yo guys what’s the easiest place to get table coral? If it is the deeper twisty bridges, how do I avoid ||brute sharks|| or do I even have to worry about them

[eternal garnet]

twisty, 50-150m. For all nasties, you learn to live with them

[patent night]

Ok

[broken badge]

There’s an amazing cave (it’s a big one, almost like a cave network except it doesn’t really branch off, so I’m not sure network is the right term) that’s not as deep as the deep twisty area, it’s not far from the ||SOS location||, and it’s LOADED with table coral clusters, copper veins (hand collectible), and outcrops for gold and silver as well. It’s such an awesome find, I place a beacon there every time I start a save for BZ It also has some oxygen plants which are helpful to go around and collect stuff while you fill your inventory up

[patent night]

I went there to get silver is there really an abundance of table coral?

[broken badge]

Yeah, that cave has several clusters, sometimes you have to look down near the floor of the cave, but it’s there

[patent night]

are u able to send a screenshot for proof because I spent half an hour around that cave

[broken badge]

Now that I think about it, most of it is near the floor of the cave so might have missed it if you were looking more along the mid or near the top of the cave

I don’t have a screenshot handy but I’m happy to send one next time I’m playing

[patent night]

Ok

I’ll go check

[patent night]

What part of the cave

[broken badge]

I’m trying to go there so I can get some pics, since I don’t remember exactly. But what’s ironic is I need table coral to make my seatruck😂 (for my save lol)

[patent night]

SEE? That’s why I need it

[broken badge]

Found at least 3 clusters and I wasn’t looking very hard

It’s not the cave you enter to go to the distress signal, it’s one near there

[patent night]

That’s NOT where I asked to be

[broken badge]

I’m confused

I mentioned a cave place where you could find the things I listed. And you asked if there was really table coral there, I said yes, and you wanted proof. So I gave proof?

[tacit comet]

I believe CookedPugs was thinking of a different cave than the one you mentioned, and didn’t think that you would show the cave you described.

[broken badge]

I try to be as clear as I can, sorry if it was misinterpreted. I don’t have coordinates since console doesn’t have those.

It is next to the cave that leads to the ||SOS location|| but I did mention it was not that cave😔 If there are other large cave systems near there, I admit I haven’t explored them (other than creepvine forest caves). Deep twisty bridges has a cave network but it’s quite a bit deeper than this area

[patent night]

I thought it was the Alterra supply cache signal 😭

[broken badge]

Ohhhh. I’m sorry. Yeah it’s not right around there. That’s creepvine forest caves over there iirc.

[patent night]

Are the bruties a problem

[broken badge]

They do take a good bit of health chunk with a bite, but with seaglide they’re not terrible, just have a few medkits (like 2 maybe) just in case you run into one or two. I’ve never had serious issues with them. The more you can seaglide around to avoid, the better😅

[carmine bobcat]

Hey shadow

If ur there so I’ve built a small base in the twisty bridges near delta island and I was wondering to progress the story would it be best for me to go down to the artifacts next I upgraded my seatruck with mk1

[patent night]

Can I go off subject for a second 😭😭

[regal summit]

Is it worth it to get below zero?

I enjoyed subnautica, haven't finished it yet though, and once I do, should I get it

[carmine bobcat]

below zero isnt as big as the main game

@regal summit its worth it but just expect a completly different story and a way smaller map

i would wait till the summer sale tho

[regal summit]

Hmm

[carmine bobcat]

its on june 29 for steam

[chrome cedar]

BZ will be on sale June 29? I haven’t seen a list of what titles will be discounted.

[regal summit]

I play games on my switch

But if it goes on sale there then I'll buy it then

[broken badge]

Someone posted in #subnautica-switch it’s on sale, you might see if BZ is on sale as well. I guess it never hurts to check

[carmine bobcat]

Is it normal that snow stalkers aren't dealing any damage to my prawn suit

They are ttrying to attack it but it only pushes me back

Nevermind. They just take a while to actually attack

[forest edge]

Tf is this discord icon

[carmine bobcat]

Is there anything to do in ||outpost zero|| or the biome is just that small

Other than ||grabbing the PDAs is the outpost zero||

[eternal garnet]

there isn't a lot until endgame. Scan prawns, power charger

[fathom marsh]

Need help. Stuck on attempt to launch game - steam cloud sync error.

[bold monolith]

This is not the reason.

If the game tries to launch and quit, move the branch to Legacy. Right click, properties, betas tab.

[fathom marsh]

ok, will try. thanks

same thing happens

[bold monolith]

Alright. Copy / paste this shell:localappdatalow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero\ in the run window (Windows key + r) or in your file browser.

Then drag and drop Player / Player.log.

[fathom marsh]

Hmm, i don't ahve Unkown Worlds folder under AppData\LocalLow

both in run wondow and file browser that things is causing error: "cannot find ..."

[bold monolith]

The game doesn't even start then?

You don't have the "Cancel" / "Stop" on Steam?

[fathom marsh]

uh, i have stage when it's green and "running", while "play" is replaced with "cancel"

and yeah, strangely enough - when steam cloud sync was enabled, it showed cause as cloud error, but now it just fails

[bold monolith]

Are you sure you don't have the "Unknown Worlds" folder? Did you copy / paste it directly?

[fathom marsh]

and it displays: Launching \n synchronysing cloud", eve though i disabled cloud sync to eliminate that as caus

[bold monolith]

Do you copy it in the run window?

[fathom marsh]

yes

[bold monolith]

Which version of Windows do you have?

[fathom marsh]

11; 22H2

[bold monolith]

Try to go there manually. Open your file browser, C:\Users\<yourName>\AppData\LocalLow.

[fathom marsh]

For the record:
i had below Zero isntalled with steam on second drive.
I reinstalled Windows 11 recently, and hooked up steam library from that drive.
Game updated 1 time, and now second time - to switch to legacy branch.
Maybe that causes error and missing folder?

[fathom marsh]

as I was saying - it's not there

[bold monolith]

So even if you went there manually, ok.

[fathom marsh]

try reisntalling?

[bold monolith]

You could try to repair the library or reinstall yes.

Considering the requirement for Windows 11, I wonder if you could have the AVX issue with that system.

So it's probably not related to the branch.

[fathom marsh]

I believe i was launching it successfuly about a year ago, on windows 11. but i can be wrong

[bold monolith]

The library is the storage tab in the new Steam UI.

You click on the three dot.

It's nice they put it there. It was not user friendly before.

[fathom marsh]

Huh, reinstall (to same drive) didn't help

it hangs here now

it seems to be reading hard drive

[eternal garnet]

can try: run as administrator. To do this in steam, open properties on SubnauticaZero.exe in the app folder. Compatibility. Check Run as administrator. Test

Turn it off if test fails

[kindred fractal]

where do you find ||the cuddle fish or the bz version of pets, i remember playing a while ago and finding it but cant seem to find them now||

[fathom marsh]

still goes like that...

i wonder if dual boot and ntfsfix could be the cause behind this...

[eternal garnet]

Did it ask for admin perms when launching?

[fathom marsh]

sorry, i meant that it was before. i just canceled it to change to admin perm...

same thing with admin perm.

[eternal garnet]

Can you answer?

[fathom marsh]

looks like steam does something with disk regardles of attempts to launch game. but it's not downloading anything..

[eternal garnet]

Did you get an alert from User Access Control?

[fathom marsh]

uh, no

[eternal garnet]

you should, else it's not running as admin, or your windows is seriously broken

such as turning off UAC (= Broken intentionally)

[fathom marsh]

or perhaps it actually tries to synchronise cloud without having cloud sync enabled?

[fathom marsh]

i didn't do ay modifications to OS

[eternal garnet]

cloud sync can be disabled in steam settings for BZ only (recommended if you want to disable it) and in steam for all games

[fathom marsh]

its like this for past few attempts

[eternal garnet]

it's enabled here (for BZ)

I assume that also means it's on for Steam global

[fathom marsh]

when trying exec itself, it shows this:

[eternal garnet]

ah. Delete /rename Bepinex folder (mods)

[fathom marsh]

globally its enabled. but for BZ i disabled toggle after it showed erros during synchronization

[eternal garnet]

Did we not ask you about mods?

[fathom marsh]

no

[eternal garnet]

You can use mods, but they have to be UPDATED

[fathom marsh]

but shouldn't they have been deleted after reinstallation?

[eternal garnet]

NO

[fathom marsh]

oh

[eternal garnet]

uninstall only deletes files it knows about

so no.

For now, rename/delete bepinex, turn admin off, try

bepinex contains QmodManager which, if it's old, is the cause of this

[fathom marsh]

honestly i forgot i had mods, so probably would have answered " i don't have them" anyway" 🙂

[eternal garnet]

you can leave steam sync on: it does work

[eternal garnet]

Is it working? Feedback is always useful

[fathom marsh]

Welp, i renamed that folder, and another, and another one...
it kept showing same error, before i renamed QMods it said to me that SubnauzticaZero.exe is not found (lol)
SO not it looks like this, and steam downloads 4.7GB of something

perhaps last action was not needed 🙂

[eternal garnet]

steam is not that stupid, but it may ***check ***4.7GB of files, which is fast

[fathom marsh]

ok, i reanmed files back (except for BepInEx)
verified integrity
it still wants to download 4.7GB of something

[eternal garnet]

Last resort: To really clean it out, delete ALL except SNappdata (contains saves)

Qmods is not standard, but I think it gets ignored

QmodManager loads mods from there

[fathom marsh]

oh, lmao

i hate some things about windows, and priority selection of folder is one of them.
I renamed the whole folder...

[eternal garnet]

uh huh.

if you let Verify finish, it will download the game again

BUT it will be a clean copy. useful

Some mods don't go via Qmod, instead infiltrate game files

[fathom marsh]

well, i renamed old folder back.
ran verification.
it's says verything is OK
but desperatel ants to download something 🙂

[eternal garnet]

cloud sync will want to donwload saves, if it's on

I think you should go last resort, and there's not much to try after that.
Delete all files in SubnauticaZero except SNAppData.

[fathom marsh]

I will let it finidsh download first, just curious

So
it finished download
i enabled cloud sync
it displayed me choice between cloud and local (local has more)
i chosed local
i try to launc the game
it says there is error in sync and bla bla - continue
it doesn't launch

deleted everywhting except saves, switched to main branch - awaiting download

[eternal garnet]

yeah, good. Legacy is very similar, no issues with it. Experimental is also very similar but newer

Legacy has a fix for older or Pentium Gold CPUs. Know what CPU you have?

[fathom marsh]

Ryzen 3600, so Legacy is not relveant, i guess

[eternal garnet]

correct

"older" AMD means Phenom II in this case

[fathom marsh]

oh wow, it launches

[eternal garnet]

yeah. I dunno for sure, extra mod files in the game files

The problem with mods is they can break really badly when BZ updates

[fathom marsh]

probably.
It also takes time to update save files. What exactly it does?

[eternal garnet]

it's zipping contents of CellsCache. Which makes steam sync much faster

[fathom marsh]

Right, the folder that knows what was picked up

[eternal garnet]

a typical old save: 900 files. That's not nice. And also it broke Xbox /PS4 sync

[fathom marsh]

Yep, that's a lot. zip for the win.
Thanks for helping!

Oh, Steam still fails to sync save files

[eternal garnet]

it might ask a last time then be cool. if not, just disable it

it will scream like that if it needs you to pick local or cloud. That's the entire "error"

[fathom marsh]

but the thing is - that dialog window appeared only few times, and i chosen to keep local files (i wrote about that last time). but than it jsut says there's error without any additional information

[chrome cedar]

Below zero base building is really annoying above water. There seem to be a lot of odd restrictions on how high pieces can be placed. I’m trying to recreate a base I had in a prior save on an iceberg and keep running into issues where pieces just can’t go where I want them, all that’s blocking them is air. LoL

[tacit thorn]

there is always option of mod to override placement.

[chrome cedar]

Not on PlayStation. LoL I’m a purist anyway, wouldn’t use mods.

[carmine bobcat]

How do i unlock the cold suit?

[clever crow]

It's in an open locker at phi robotics (in one of the rooms)

[carmine bobcat]

oh

gotcha thanks

[dusky lake]

Where were the Spiral Plants for the Clippings again?

[eternal garnet]

inside a vent garden, or one small and random spot below the tiny wreck (thrusters)

[dusky lake]

thanks

[polar spade]

subnautica is one of those games for me that once i beat it once i wont forget how to beat it again the only thing ill change is my base and everything

[carmine bobcat]

What's with the Sub Sword Of Nautica?

[clever crow]

i thought those are lilipad seeds/sprouts

so annoying that we can't scan them

they are just.. there.

[chrome cedar]

Many things are just background art. Sadly.

All those prawn suits littered about, and I can't steal power cells from any of them. Or get goodies they had in storage. LOL

[carmine bobcat]

Lol

[broken badge]

I find several spiral plants inside the cave area in deep purple vents (where you find the ||fossil excavator artifact||); since the area is a bit darker in some places, it can be more difficult to see the spiral plants, but using the highlight feature helps in that regard iirc.

As meatie mentioned though, locating and entering one of the large static ventgardens is the sure-fire way to grab some spiral plants

[chrome cedar]

I think that's where I found them this last playthrough, that cave area mentioned. I recognized them right away this time so I grabbed a few.

[carmine bobcat]

If you dismantle a nuclear reactor do you lose the rods??

[chrome cedar]

Can't recall, some items you can't disassemble if there are contents inside. I can't recall if you can remove the rods or not.

[carmine bobcat]

I can't remove them so

[chrome cedar]

Ah. Then I assume they would get destroyed.

[carmine bobcat]

Aren't ventgardens in tree spires?

[broken badge]

Yes

[carmine bobcat]

That biome scares me for some reason

Never went inside it but it looks scary from the outside already

[dusky lake]

finally
spicy fruit salad

[grave veldt]

Other than brute sharks and 🦐 it's actually not that dangerous

[dusky lake]

🦐+🔫+🗡️->🍤

is there lithium in the deep twisties?

[eager axle]

nah

i was there like hour ago

diamonds only i guess

[dusky lake]

good that mining cave is close

[eager axle]

yea but u can get a lot of lithium in this biom under delta base

[dusky lake]

literally only need one

i think im gonna farm some anyway

[eager axle]

yea

[next current]

Yes.

[eager axle]

its better to have more

[eager axle]

wait rly?

[next current]

Yeah.

It's a little difficult to spot but its there.

[eager axle]

bro i was there and saw literally nothing, just diamonds 💀

sorry then

[next current]

It helps to bring a Mineral Detector.

[eager axle]

yea

[dusky lake]

I think i got some there as well, it’s on the walls not at the bottom

[dusky lake]

I reject modernity

[next current]

Oof okay.

[tacit comet]

There is yes, look around Thermal vents

[broken badge]

Using the highlight feature also helps spot things, especially in the more poorly lit areas of the game or when resources don’t contrast as well against their surroundings

[elfin patrol]

I’ll never forgive Xbox for removing both the games off of gamepass

I was so close to finishing subnautica 😭😭

[chrome cedar]

If only there was some way to, I don’t know, but the game? LoL

[next current]

Ngl, I forgot about this.

[vast idol]

Mineral detector is the most useless tool only challenged by pathfinder tool

[next current]

To you maybe. But I find it to be very useful. Especially in the early game.

[bold monolith]

The pathfinder tool was very handy for the land areas and inside the Mercury's bow.

[dusky lake]

Drill 'tanium

[dusky lake]

nah just hug the wall with the Seaglide

2 and a half lockers full of Tanium.
Finally enough for 2 hours

[vast idol]

I didnt see much use in it since I knew which area has a lot of resources that I need

[worthy gorge]

where do I ask help about BZ?

[steel stream]

Here

[worthy gorge]

ooh yea

I forgot about it

I was just thinking something important that I lost

that thing might of made my mind go out of it

but yea back to it

I was trying for 8 hours to fix bz nothing worked I contacted epic games support they couldnt help then I contacted devs of subnautica itself

they did nothing bcs they had too many requests and sent me couple of links and I did all of them and didnt work

now I have no idea what do to next

[worthy gorge]

contacted epic cuz I have the game on epic

[eternal garnet]

1. Which exact CPU do you have?
2. Could this have started with a BZ update in 2022?
3. Did you ever have mods installed?

[worthy gorge]

no mods. epic support wanted my specs and cpu and told me they should be fine for the game. 2nd question no idea it started to crash in 2021 december maybe

got the game 2021, 1st of january

[eternal garnet]

I really want the CPU, I don't trust Epic

[worthy gorge]

wait let me check

[eternal garnet]

yup. That is verified a problem.

since an update, BZ stopped working on this office-type CPU

[worthy gorge]

CPU? aight then why did it launch the first time then xD

bcs of an update

._______.

[eternal garnet]

replacing a couple DLLs fixes this, but by experience Epic launcher changes them back. You are welcome to try though

[worthy gorge]

whats a DLLs?

[eternal garnet]

two game engine files

do you want to spend 5min trying this?

[worthy gorge]

ye but why did epic write me this then?

[bold monolith]

They don't know.

Also, what you said meatie, surprises me.

I doubt Epic would verify the game's files all the time.

[eternal garnet]

it did when I tried

currently trying to find the best way to get the game directory

[worthy gorge]

give me 5 mins im in a intense gc game

almost done 2.18

[eternal garnet]

Epic has a setting per game: "auto update"

[worthy gorge]

done with my game they ffed

firstly i can tell u i have no hope lol

[eternal garnet]

in epic launcher, Library, right click BZ and Manage

With ignis here, I think we can solve it

[worthy gorge]

ye launching epic moment

why is it so sloooow omg

[worthy gorge]

okey done

[eternal garnet]

Here, turn off "auto update". Blue means on.

[worthy gorge]

mhm

[eternal garnet]

then click the folder button, by installation, bottom

[worthy gorge]

in folder

clicked it

why is ur size 21gigs?

[eternal garnet]

you see folders like SubnauticaZero_Data?

[worthy gorge]

yea I see it

[eternal garnet]

my game there is not BZ, sorry. Mine's on steam

[worthy gorge]

okey np

[eternal garnet]

open SubnauticaZero_Data, Plugins, x86_64

[worthy gorge]

done

[eternal garnet]

Open this zip with the two dlls. Exttract them into x86_64

yes, dlls could be dangerous. But this time, it's OK

[worthy gorge]

yea wait how i extract them?

[eternal garnet]

just open the zip, then drag-drop

[worthy gorge]

these 2?

[eternal garnet]

yep

Replace the existing

[worthy gorge]

done

[eternal garnet]

it did ask for replacing?

[worthy gorge]

mhm

[eternal garnet]

ok now test BZ

[worthy gorge]

aight launching

.__________.

u want to say all it took was this?

[eternal garnet]

[worthy gorge]

nah im not calm man 8 hours for notihng

I mean technically ye I got the game work but 8 hours ffs

[eternal garnet]

all it took?
I don't know why, but support for older cpus and Office type CPUs was broken in the update

Anyway. Nice. Enjoy

[worthy gorge]

all it took just to replace 2 files

I wanna suicide wheres the best place?

[eternal garnet]

just enter command "spawn crash 90"

die by crashfish

But don't save after.

[worthy gorge]

i meant in real life

[eternal garnet]

nah, this isn't allowed

[worthy gorge]

it is its free legit

imma try one of my saves lets see if i get ingame or not

[eternal garnet]

yes, I think it'll work fine

[worthy gorge]

I cant even write the thing

got warned ops

pardon me was very rude

[eternal garnet]

ya. Auto moderation is hard here, to allow 13 year olds

[worthy gorge]

im not 13, im 17 this year 21 september

[eternal garnet]

yes but they are allowed here

Anyway, devs do not have time for support. At all.

[worthy gorge]

as expected it worked

[eternal garnet]

But there's gametesters here, unpaid, and some of us are pretty technical and know about the bugs

[worthy gorge]

Was the last warning I was gonna get aswell?

if I swear one more time im banned?

[eternal garnet]

Some attained wizard level (pokes @Ignis )

I'm not sure. just avoid it

[worthy gorge]

I just hate my life ngl

bcs of a game no way

[safe sun]

It's just a game my guy, stop being dramatic and please watch your language.

[eternal garnet]

yes. Just a game. And the sun is out. Go see it if you wish

[worthy gorge]

Idk I' cant stop being dramatic when I lost someone who I loved so much

[safe sun]

I empathize with you but this isn't the place.

[eternal garnet]

sorry that goes above our pay grade

[worthy gorge]

how much?

[eternal garnet]

mods and testers are volunteers

[worthy gorge]

is there coming a subnautica 3? like a third sub game?

[eternal garnet]

yes, but it's far off by now. And the name is probably not SN3

[worthy gorge]

so I just keep the files like they are rn and dont verify them?

[eternal garnet]

indeed, do not verify.

then they will revert to broken versions

[worthy gorge]

am I gonna miss updates then?

[eternal garnet]

I'm not sure there are any, and if so they will be fixing minor stuff

[worthy gorge]

hope they fix the unitycrashhandler thingyt

[eternal garnet]

if you want, you could update, then replace the two dlls again

Not today obviously. There's no update, and checking might break the DLLs

[hollow plaza]

subnautica below zero

[trim sorrel]

subnautica below zero

[worthy igloo]

may i ask why this is red??

[eternal garnet]

cause red looks nice (I don't know)

[worthy igloo]

okay nvm i see it, its a locker inside colliding xd

[next current]

Dumb lockers. >:(

[tacit comet]

They are evil.

I cannot recall the number of times I temporarily dismantle a reinforcement from behind some, and then they don't let me put it back.

[chrome cedar]

Yup, that happens. I was seeing it above the water line and was wondering if it’s a similar issue to what I’m having building on icebergs.

[teal copper]

Did do a update

[worthy gorge]

sub bz

[worthy igloo]

its 3,5h later and i still hate lockers

[tacit comet]

Lmao

[patent night]

I’m absolutely terrified of the Cryptosuchus. The build, the sounds, the movement… it scares me. I need to get 1 more lithium.

[chrome cedar]

I’ve been looking at the power usage at my base. I think I spent half an hour looking around trying to find a solar panel I had placed that was supplying power. Took forever to find it from where I had it placed…

The floodlight power according to the wiki isn’t making sense. ||SN floodlight used 1 energy every 5 seconds. In BZ it uses 1 energy per second!||

My thermal plants can hardly keep up with the drain. And finding anywhere that is ||more than 71c ||is quite a challenge.

[carmine bobcat]

Please don’t be scared of Cryptosuchuses. The only thing they can do is scream loudly. Their damage is low and they’re easy to dodge. If you can attack it before it attacks you do that or just ignore it

[patent night]

I just one shot two in my seatruck. Is that supposed to happen?

[carmine bobcat]

What do you mean. You bumped to them with sea truck and they died or they killed you in two shots? If it’s the former then I think that’s normal because they don’t have so much health

[tacit comet]

Yeah, that’s normal to one or two shot them from a vehicle collision.

Man just committed vehicular manslaughter.

[patent night]

Yo guys can I show y’all some new plot that I made for a new crash site ship thingy

It’s not done but

[astral moth]

Could anyone give me a hint? I'm in the purple crystal cave, 600m deep and idk what to do

if there even is anything there? My seatruck can go to 1000m depth

[tacit comet]

Yeah, Crystal Caves are a little confusing, it’s a little maze like. Head deeper, you’ll know when you’ve gotten somewhere of interest. Al-an will let you know if you’re close to something.

There’s a ||circle|| of crystal formations around a ||pit||, if you need a pointer.

Feel free to ping if you want more help.

[astral moth]

is it something to do with this?

[tacit comet]

Those are just the mineral crevasses around the area. They’re helpful for getting Silver, Gold, or Kyanite, but not related to the story or important locations.

It’s also helpful if you need a quick hiding spot, but otherwise, not really.

Btw, do you have a base in the Crystal Caves? Just wondering.

[astral moth]

i dont

[tacit comet]

Ok.

The map on your Seaglide might be helpful for navigating, it’s a little confusing sometimes.

Look out for the little Precursor lamps.

[astral moth]

oh finally, i found it

[astral moth]

I dont think there were any before the formation :v

[tacit comet]

Yeah

[vast idol]

Theyre all bark no bite

You can scoff the damage off

[astral moth]

hmm, should I explore this area too?

I wanted to leave and go home, but now I guess I'm lost forever

[tacit comet]

If you want. It’s one of the latest game areas.

[astral moth]

Is a prawn suit required to beat the game?

[steel stream]

No

[worthy igloo]

has this game been released yet fully?

[tacit comet]

Yes. I believe the storyline and other major features will not be changed.

[astral moth]

The snow ate my snowfox :v

[zealous frost]

Bruh the water cold man this water got me freezing man there’s some shrinkage fr

[grave orbit]

Uhm

Need help because I'm terrified of the crystal caves

:/

[worthy igloo]

aaa spoilersss

okay i dont know what youre talking about i havent been there but trust me just go in there full on and be brave youre the main character

just save the game before if youre scared and go FULL ON IN THERE LIKE A CHAMP

[tired ruin]

[astral moth]

not really

just knowing there is a place called "Crystal Caves", or even seeing it doesn't really help you much

or like fine, maybe seeing it might ruin the feel you get seeing something for the first time

[worthy igloo]

yeah ur right

ive found it like an hour ago on my playthrough now

like literally half an hour ago after ive sent my messages xd

[dusky cairn]

You getting close to beating the game?

[zealous frost]

We always close out here bro

[worthy igloo]

i have no idea xd

i dont even know how it looks like to beat the game and i dont want to

im just ballin'

i dont want spoilers xd

[worthy igloo]

could anyone tell me tho where i could look for magnetite? i know that there's some in the deep lily cave but its kinda hard to find and i dont think there are any nodes

[tacit comet]

I believe it should be quite common in Crystal Caves and somewhat so in Deep Lilypads. I can’t recall any other areas, but I can check.

[tacit comet]

Respect.

[worthy igloo]

oh, the crystal caves, alright, ill check that, should i be aware of danger there if i have a prawn suit or nah?

[eternal garnet]

not major, but you need repairs. Ideally: truck with perimeter defense, used right

Because that can cancel attacks

[tacit thorn]

land bases, bring grav ball. some caves have it.

[tacit comet]

Yeah there aren’t many dangerous creatures, but the ones there can be more potent. but if you have the prawn, it’s bulky health should hold up fine if you have a repair tool. Keep an eye out for good hiding spots, since there are many crevices and places where they can’t get you.

[carmine bobcat]

I got my magnetite from the glacial basin if you know that area. If you really need magnetite then you probably found it already

I'm not sure if the magnetite there is enough for the entire game though. But probably

[tacit thorn]

Are there any placeable objects that give "beacon" for your radar, but don't require titanium to make?

[worthy igloo]

Yeah, I actually decided to go with the story and found some magnetite in the ice area, but thanks 😄

[chrome cedar]

I think anything that has a signal you can track will use titanium.

[tacit thorn]

aww 😕

are beacons recyclable in the endgame alien machine?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[graceful belfry]

Not sure if this is the right place, but is it true that changing daynightspeed with the console affects other time calculations in game? Below zero's day/night cycle is wayyy too fast and kinda irking me

[chrome cedar]

I’m guessing that it would, but never tested. I’m assuming you mean like how long it takes things to grow?

[next current]

In the custom game mode, you can configure how many minutes day/night are.

[tacit thorn]

Does the seatruck zzappy thing cause hp damage to leviathans?

[tacit comet]

Yes

To all creature I believe, but I don’t think its a lot.

[patent night]

Is it normal to kill the ||cryptosuchus with one seatruck ram||

[tacit thorn]

how much hp do small fishies have?

[tacit thorn]

ramming damage does a lot of dmage in the game

[patent night]

Epic

I’m trying to find the ||Q59 Artifact|| but I am LOST.

[tacit thorn]

I think my prisoner has died during routine teeth fixing.
oh well, I can disasemble the cage now.

[tacit comet]

Why is speed boost mouse 3? You must answer for your crimes.

[next current]

I took away their shift keys.

[tacit thorn]

weird, pretty sure I have it mapped to side mouse button, not the wheel

[tacit comet]

Slicey will steal your keyboard, bit by bit.

[next current]

I was hungry. 😔

[tacit thorn]

using shift for that would be weird, its my crouch button

[next current]

In a game where crouching doesn't exist?

[tacit comet]

lmao yeah.

[tacit thorn]

swimming downwards does

[tacit comet]

but, C.

Also, Slicey, how'd you get your pfp.

[next current]

C is just c-perior

[tacit thorn]

how do I reach that with pinky??

[tacit comet]

you have short pinkies.

Use thumb. While you're going down, you probably (hopefully) aren't going up as well.

[tacit thorn]

fairly long actually, but they don't grow on that side of hand

[tacit comet]

So no need for spacebar.

[tacit comet]

That seems like a you problem.

[tacit thorn]

I'm used to being able to crouch and jump immediatelly in other games. Same reason most people keep finger on both A and D

plus hitting c with thumb is awkward, spacebar gets hit too

[tacit comet]

I use the d finger for c I think.

[next current]

@burnt gate

[tacit comet]

Cool.

[burnt gate]

Yes I did that

[next current]

Thanks Lil'!

[tacit comet]

It's very fancy.

Also Slicey, you say the word of the day is chicken, yet you have a rooster emoji. Unacceptable.

[next current]

Well a male chicken is called a Rooster.

[tacit comet]

But Rooster isn't the word of the day, is it?

[next current]

😠

Anyways... How does everyone feel about the weather mechanic in this game?

[tacit comet]

It's cool, but I feel it doesn't do much other than changing the view above water. The lack of visibility most of the time is a little annoying as well. I feel like it should have had more of an impact/effect that it does now.

[eternal garnet]

on land. it tries to kill you

[tacit comet]

Not very well.

It should try harder.

[ancient nymph]

how hard is to complete the story? or how long does it take to complete the whole Story of below zero avg gamer

[eternal garnet]

I'd say 20-50h. There's sadly a lot of story that is not required to finish

[patent night]

How do I find the ||Q59 Artifact|| I’ve been trying to follow the beacon but I can’t find the way to it

[eternal garnet]

search q59 on YT

[patent night]

It didn’t help it had spoilers to the game

It had a warning at least

[eternal garnet]

oh that is inside koppa mine

[patent night]

I have a beacon to the entrance where I got the moonpool/seatruck dock, is it close to there?

[eternal garnet]

coords to entrance? what

[patent night]

I’m on XBox

[eternal garnet]

you can get that in 2 places

one is at the pilot's

[patent night]

The one that’s in a big hole

[patent night]

Is the pilot’s in the thermal area or the purple thermal area

[eternal garnet]

an obvious alterra mine?

that is deep in a tunnel, so it's hard to say. Between two biomes I think

Anyway. From delta island, go around the back. The south-west end of it. In the water, go down there. Just 100m from the shore a deep hole. It's got light sticks. Koppa mine

[patent night]

My seatruck can’t fit

I think I found the entrance to a different way though

[eternal garnet]

it actually can. detach modules. Wiggle sideways in, at the top. Save first

[patent night]

I have no modules yet

Also trust me. I’ve tried.

[eternal garnet]

sideways! It's not super hard. At the top of the door

[patent night]

I’ve tried

I’ve also looked it up

[eternal garnet]

ok neva mind. There is a lava hole you can get the truck in, but you don't need it

There are about 4 o2 plants inside

[patent night]

I want the seatruck anyway

Makes me feel safer

Idk why I play Subnautica

I enjoy it, but have a fear of oceans

[eternal garnet]

the mine isn't that big

[patent night]

I’m scared

[ancient nymph]

alright, thanks

[ancient nymph]

yeah me too

still dont know why i am playing that

Also, i cant find the last Part of the seatruck

[worthy igloo]

(spoilers) ||does the leviathan in the crystal caves take long to kill with prawn?||

[sour dagger]

yes

[worthy igloo]

crap

[astral moth]

my snowfox fell through the floor, is it gone forever??

[worthy igloo]

uhhh probably?

i'd just spawn a new one

i did that with prawn when it fell through the floor in subnautica xd

[tacit comet]

It shouldn't really, depends on your definition of "long" I'd guess it's around 5-10 mins, and grapple and main arm is probably the way to go.

You'll want to either have it grab you, or latch on with your grapple, then just keep bonking it.

[worthy igloo]

oh aight so its like the reaper

[tacit comet]

You should take breaks to repair, there should be a lot of crevices and places to hide where it can't get you.

[worthy igloo]

aight, thanks 🙂

[tacit comet]

Same health too.

[worthy igloo]

by the way, should i find the ||place where you build the architect|| myself in your opinion or should i look for a hint?

cause i'd like to beat this game today and i dont really wanna roam around for hours

[tacit comet]

definitely try on your own first.

Don't go for hints unless you're really stuck. Many people wish they could forget everything and start over, these games are amazing with as few spoilers as possible.

[worthy igloo]

alriiiightt

thank youu

[tacit comet]

Something has gone very wrong here. I was wondering where my friend was. ☹️

Does anyone know how this occured? (And yes, the scanner blip is actually directly ahead in the crag.)

[worthy igloo]

Melt, my dear, melt, YOU'RE STUUUCKKKK

[tacit comet]

Bro I didn't need to do that, they just left the dimension out of sheer will.

[worthy igloo]

oh

lmao

im just drilling and punching this guy right now xd

[tacit comet]

also, i checked the other levi (because there are two)

and the brlip wasn't moving

I approached it, there was no levi there either

[worthy igloo]

huhhh

[tacit comet]

and then it decided to spawn

But, yeah the first one is just gone.

[worthy igloo]

deaddddd

do leviathans respawn?

[tacit comet]

I wish they did.

But no.

Man, this rock really enjoys pretending to be a leviathan.

[worthy igloo]

lmao

[astral moth]

The end of the world?

[worthy igloo]

wait

[worthy igloo]

yes and i wouldnt suggest going down 🙂

[worthy igloo]

there's TWO?

[tacit comet]

actually, three but yeah

[worthy igloo]

HUH?

[tacit comet]

have fun!

[worthy igloo]

don't tell me this biome is map-wide

oh god

[tacit comet]

Lol, no there are two in the Crystal Caves, and one deeper.

[worthy igloo]

brooo you were deeaaad

okay so i just gotta kill another one for now 🙂

time to drill

[tacit comet]

I doubt it respawned, that's probably the second one.

[worthy igloo]

yeah, i know, it just surprised me that i havent moved much from his body and another one arrived

neverminddd

i guess that leviathan is gonna stay alive for now, ive found somethingg

[tacit comet]

that is a little weird

[worthy igloo]

no nevermind, thats just another entrance to the place where the organs are

[tacit comet]

Is this your first playthrough? i assume so.

[worthy igloo]

yes

oh i mean, it isnt my first, this is my second but in the first one i got confused where to go after i got snowfox

so this is the furthest ive ever gone

[tacit comet]

ok.

[steel stream]

Actually 2 and 2...

[astral moth]

Snow fox? More like snow spider lol

[tacit comet]

Thanks, my bad.

[astral moth]

Cool a cave, now I'm stuck forever

[worthy igloo]

found that out on my own a second ago 😬

[worthy igloo]

im pretty sure there are exits if you follow the corridors

god i love this game

big spoilers xd

[astral moth]

ive got all the cool stuff to make the body now, you guys suggest I bring anything else to the fabricator place?

[worthy igloo]

nope, just some food and something to drink

oh and a repair tool with an ion battery would be useful just incase

[tacit comet]

make sure you bring all the resources for it

I found that out the hard way, had to go all the way back to twisty bridges for one ion cube

[worthy igloo]

you can fit them all in the quantum box tho

so thats a good way to see if you've got everything

[tacit comet]

Hey Ignis, I made a base in the crystal caves, but one of the shadow leviathans that I loved to have nearby for the view is gone

[worthy igloo]

make sure to just fill it up and forget about it

[tacit comet]

The scanner room shows a blip, but there's nothing there.

[bold monolith]

It's possible he isn't in range anymore. Follow his path.

The scanner can lose a tracked entity.

[tacit comet]

It hasn't swan by in 30 mins

it used to do it every few mins

the whole path is clear,

and if he goes out of range normally, the blip would just disappear

[bold monolith]

If you upload your CellsCache I can tell you more about where it is, etc.

[tacit comet]

ok, how do I do that?

[bold monolith]

You know how to access the save slot?

Enter in the slot folder, zip the CellsCache and drag and drop it here.

[tacit comet]

I don't actually, other than finding the folder.

The blip is inside that crag.

[bold monolith]

Maybe he is stuck.

[tacit comet]

should I dm it so other can't access it?

[bold monolith]

Whatever you want. CellsCache doesn't have sensitive information though, just where the entities are with their properties.

[tacit comet]

ok

Ignis, I found the CellsCache folder, but I don't think Discord lets me upload it.

[bold monolith]

Did you zip it?

[tacit comet]

Should I just send the baked batch of whatever area im in?

no i didn't ill try that

[bold monolith]

You can't send a folder, you need to make an archive.

[tacit comet]

This is it I believe.

hold on

[tacit comet]

huh, thanks.

[bold monolith]

They have full health.

[tacit comet]

so go to those coords?

[bold monolith]

The one near you yes.

[tacit comet]

Yeah I'm not trying to hurt them

thanks

[bold monolith]

It's a bit odd, I don't see the second in Crystal Cave.

[tacit comet]

One is there

The deeper one I believe.

[bold monolith]

Where is your base?

[tacit comet]

But the one gaurding the two exits (purple vents and margureits base is the one Im having trouble with.

Right at that junction

[bold monolith]

It's gone.

[tacit comet]

yeah, but is it in a differnt biome entirely? or outside the map boundaries?

Like, through a wall?

[bold monolith]

If it was out of bounds I would detect it. I can detect every single things in your map, even the smaller rock.

[tacit comet]

Ok, so it's just completely gone.

[bold monolith]

The fact the script tells me it isn't there means it probably died for some reason.

[tacit comet]

Weird, I've resisted dealing damage to it when it grabs me, it got caught on my base pieces once, but got free, and kept patrolling. It's only recently that it happened.

[bold monolith]

I don't even see the second in the Fabricator Base, but it's possible you never generated this area.

It's possible it died from collision damage.

Even if you don't hunt it down.

[tacit comet]

I haven't gone to the fabricator base in this save yet, but I've definitely seen the first shadow levi.

And I assume it won't respawn then?

[bold monolith]

No.

[tacit comet]

:(

[bold monolith]

You can regenerate the area though.

[tacit comet]

by deleting that baked batch?

opening debug and matching that with the folder in cellscache?
