below-zero-chat

[swift sluice]

Because I will never go past a leviathan in a area that can be light (aka it doesn’t matter with shadow leviathans)

[tacit comet]

gn

[limber phoenix]

Who would win in a fight:
Cuddle fish or reaper leviathan

[patent night]

I did it 😭 I beat the game

Finally

Both games are done after stressful insane 2 months

[swift sluice]

How close does kyanite spawn to the deep purple vents enterance to the crystal caves it’s my only resource I need before I’m good to goto the crystal cache

[tacit comet]

Pretty close, look out for blue rods of crystal.

[unique hatch]

I recommend searching it up but I think a lil everywhere

[chrome cedar]

For that location, I think it will be deeper, but I don't recall there being a lot there.

Easier places are the ||Sea Monkey|| areas, and the|| thermal spires||.

[trail torrent]

deep creepvine biome has tons of calaverite outcrops

anyone know if there’s a ||crystal caves entrance|| near the glacial bay

[tacit comet]

Kelp Caves are really good, Twisty Bridges and Thermal Spires works in a pinch.

[serene glen]

im have trouble finding a better 02 tank

[tacit comet]

Which one do you have now?

[serene glen]

starter

[tacit comet]

Do you want pointers or just a location?

[hollow plaza]

so... lungs?

[serene glen]

pointers

[steel stream]

No, there isn't

[serene glen]

o no i have basic tank

[hollow plaza]

oh

[tacit comet]

Ok, just to double check, you have the 75 second one right?

[serene glen]

nope

45

[tacit comet]

In total?

[serene glen]

yes

[tacit comet]

Ok.

[hollow plaza]

so thats lungs

[serene glen]

? wait what

[hollow plaza]

does robin not start with no tank

[steel stream]

45 is no tank. Craft the standard O2 tank

[eternal garnet]

no tank, and recipe for a basic tank

[tacit comet]

That’s what I was thinking.

45 was the no tank amount for SN1.

I assumed it’d be the same.

[eternal garnet]

The large tank is at ||120m depth in twisty bridges canyon by a little building||

[serene glen]

no. cant bety

[tacit comet]

You still need to craft the 75 second one first, which you should have the blueprint for.

[serene glen]

ty im stupid lol

its 70 seconds

but that is much better i thought i had the first tank equiped i thought i had crafted it

ive been exploring everything using 45 seconds and got " alan "

how do i mark spoilers

[eternal garnet]

mark some words, click eye

[serene glen]

?

[eternal garnet]

that's on PC

[serene glen]

eye?

[eternal garnet]

or, type || before and after. Double.

[tacit comet]

(For images.)

[serene glen]

o ok

ty so much that makes it so much eiser lol im such a noob

i thought i alreeady had made tank i had 2 bladders in quick slots

one to give extra air one to get to surface quickly

[steel stream]

You can also build a second tank to get more air underwater (switch tank when first almost empty), just need to remember to fill both tanks when on surface/land/base/vehicle (only equipped tank is refilled)

[serene glen]

kk ty

[tacit thorn]

So, I thought I was already off the edge of the map, after a steep drop, but apparently not.
And look, titanium!
[Also, regretfully realized my -400m spot at ventgarden is not the lowest edge of the cliff and could have saved 200+m of vertical tubing if I built here instead.]

[serene glen]

dam

time to disamble and re assemble

time to make 4 storage containers and fill that seatruck full

[tacit thorn]

not disasembling a base that goes 6km deep, through void leviathan zone 🤣

wow, my prawn and personal inventory are stuffed with titan now.
It paid off to build a scan room in middle of final cave to recheck the area

found another one, but no place in inv, and no beacon with me 😕

Update: left my prawn as a 'beacon'
Me smart!

[goes back to put it on foundation instead of bare ground, so clip-through-floor bug doesnt take it]

random note from seatrucking:
The feeling when you mastered the truck so well you just do a turn slide to connect the modules and they connect flawlessly every time.

[serene glen]

lol

[ember zenith]

Just installed my mods and im ready to go 😄

Finished the first game today

Is there a stutter fix mod?

[tacit thorn]

Remember to install the autosave mod

[ember zenith]

Currently trying to fix this occasional stutter

Any idea as to how i can fix it?

Whenever i use the mobile vehicle station thingy it just disappears

Found the issue

[eternal garnet]

more quickslots mod?

[ember zenith]

Yup

@eternal garnet Do you know of anyway i can boost the games performance because it has the occasional stutter

[eternal garnet]

not really.. more RAM?

[ember zenith]

I got 32Gb of ram

I can run games like star citizen just fine so its not the hardware

[eternal garnet]

surfacing will load new world data, so that does stutter often

other than that, next game is not made in unity, but Unreal 5

[ember zenith]

Huh subnautica 3?

[eternal garnet]

next game. It will be a year or 3.

[ember zenith]

I hope they add something like the cyclops to that game

Since the sea truck is quite a disappointment inmho 😅

[eternal garnet]

got any modules? it improves over time

[ember zenith]

meant more as in the fact you cant really build in it like you can in the first game, i understand the map is not big enough compared to the first game but the Cyclops felt like an RV

The dock looks pretty nice

[trail torrent]

is there a way to ‘farm’ sea monkeys to quickly get rare resources

and also does the mineral detector help you get what you need from them?

[serene glen]

ok yes

that is how you farm them

[serene glen]

breed se monkeys like crazy, in an acu. and have the bluepirnt with the rare resources pinned. only that one. congrats you just got infinite of that reosurce

only hard part is you have to keep release sea monkeys into new envoirments but every biome you can put them into

[trail torrent]

also do sea monkey eggs respawn and can 2 sea monkeys breed inside a acu?

[pliant jetty]

Yes

[boreal forge]

Racism update when?

[deep kettle]

Never? 🤔

[boreal forge]

NO

@deep kettle

How could you...

[deep kettle]

😐

[keen temple]

anyone wanna chat on vc

[granite torrent]

Guys, am I the only person that its game sometimes doesn t render ( i have 200 fps in-game) and today i got stuck somewhere, hit the unstuck button, waited for 15 minutes and I alt f4 and my entire save of the game got erased

[jovial hedge]

AAAAAA

WHYYYYY

I was ||exploring the crashed ship's bow||, low on oxygen. I tried to find my way back to my prawn suit, and I did, just as I was blacking out

But then instead of LETTING ME IN

No way I was getting back with a seatruck, so I reloaded

But I forgot that there's no autosaves and I only manually save when exiting

Now the save reloaded SO FAR BACK

that I haven't even ENTERED the ||lily pad area||

except once for ||margureit's base||

so now I have to go back for ||the architect skeleton|| and ||all the deep lily pad resources|| and ||omega lab|| AND ||THE SHIP BOW||

so I ragequit

Bot deleted what happened instead of letting me INTO THE PRAWN

[eternal garnet]

So when you quit, the popup says: Last save was 3:22h ago

[jovial hedge]

1h actually

[trail torrent]

do void chelicerates respawn

[patent night]

Bro I legit just found THE BEST base building area

[eternal garnet]

oh yes.

[jovial hedge]

yes

[patent night]

It does require a bit of slicing and dicing tho

[jovial hedge]

I think

Never gone there for hopefully obvious reasons

[trail torrent]

awe i wanted to kill em all

[eternal garnet]

It will spawn as necessary, up to 3. Until their work is done.

[jovial hedge]

Also noticed the prawn grapple arm is a lot more sluggish in BZ

[eternal garnet]

and by 3 I mean at a time.

[trail torrent]

thats why jump jet is helpful

[jovial hedge]

The problem isn't ascending, it's swinging across the map like spider-man

Could do it in SN1, but not BZ apparantly!

[trail torrent]

isnt the air bladder faster in bz than subnautica

[jovial hedge]

IIRC it was, but then SN2.0 backpatched the BZ air bladder

[trail torrent]

maybe it appears that way because s1’s map is more flat

if not then idk

[jovial hedge]

No the BZ grapple definitely pulls a lot slower

[trail torrent]

oh

what do i do?

[jovial hedge]

load a save

[worn wagon]

There’s nothing you can do except die

[echo agate]

those are void chicalerates how did you end up there?

[trail torrent]

I was looking for titanium near the void but then curiously i thought “what if i hide under this ice shelf?” so i did just that and then i realized i had no way out

but i managed to escape somehow

[echo agate]

congrats on escaping, going near the void is terrifying

[jovial hedge]

That alone had me apprehensive about going to ||the greenhouse||

BEFORE I knew about ||the 2 chelicerates in the east arctic||

I call those things "||beast of the east||" for a REASON

[tacit comet]

lol

[quiet briar]

where do you find ruby

[chrome cedar]

Around heat areas.

Deeper areas.

||Koppa|| has a fair bit.

[carmine bobcat]

Well I’m now 5 hours into my hardcore below zero play through and definitely can say it’s more difficult than my subnautica hardcore play through

I definitely so far have done the story in probably to weirdest order ever but that just because I felt like doing some of the harder stuff first

[fresh karma]

The heck am I doing wrong here? Surely it's a bug?

[deep kettle]

Where exactly is that you're trying to repair this? I don't think there's anything that needs repairing like that in this game? 🤔

[steel stream]

Looks a bit like cyclops? In which case wrong channel...

[deep kettle]

Oh it's the original game lol.

Which indeed does belong in #subnautica-chat 😛

[fresh karma]

oh whoops sorry. Anyway I reloaded the save and it moved the damage to another spot and this time I could repair it.

[pliant jetty]

Make peace with whatever Gods you hold dear.

[inland harbor]

Let the prawn suit die

Or repair it and let the beats almost destroy you

Or put your stuff that you didn’t have before into the prawn module and bring your seatruck down to pick up the suit using the stop driving when leviathan attacks method to not take damage

[granite torrent]

Guys, am I the only person that its game sometimes doesn t render ( i have 200 fps in-game) and today i got stuck somewhere, hit the unstuck button, waited for 15 minutes and I alt f4 and my entire save of the game got erased

[eternal garnet]

Your post is a mess of 3 issues. Anyway, theres no point of stressing your GPU, limit frames to 80 or so. "FPS limit" or vsync on

it runs a lot cooler and quieter

[granite torrent]

And what about the save problem? I lost the save 2 times and this is making me frustrated

[eternal garnet]

you on steam? you could disable steam sync and safety copy your saves yourself

they are in game folder\Snappdata\Savegames

[granite torrent]

Yeah, got any link so I can follow the steps more easily by any chance?

[eternal garnet]

in steam library, right click below zero, disable steam sync.

In the save folder, what I do is select all files, right click, send to... compressed folder. This makes a zip archive with all of it

[granite torrent]

Alright, thanks alot, hopefully I will not lose my saves from now on

[swift sluice]

Nickel where?

[trail torrent]

nighty night

[trail torrent]

||deep lilypad biome||

the biome where the skeleton thing is

[swift sluice]

Great I gotta go back again

Why does everything spawn so deep

[trail torrent]

cause or else the game would be too ez

[swift sluice]

Where grappling arm fragments

Can the lillypad mushrooms be farmed

[swift sluice]

I don’t wanna do 5 different trips so I wanna know where grappling Arms spawn,and if the lillypad mushrooms can be farmed in exterior growbeds

[pure pike]

Why is there a pride flag on the pfp for the discord

[chrome cedar]

They are looking into it, check back next week.

[lime grove]

Pride month

[steel stream]

Grappling arm fragments can be found in lilypad seamonkey nests, and I have no idea what mushrooms you are talking about

[pure pike]

But it isn’t

It’s men’s mental health month

[swift sluice]

The deep lillypad mushrooms the things you need for purple lamp

[patent night]

I forget if there’s a flag but it should definitely be recognized more. It is also pride month tho.

[steel stream]

Young cotton anemone? I always viewed them as flowers, not mushrooms. Those can be planted and grown

[clever crow]

there are 2 months - june and november. pretty sure there's nothing wrong with sharing one of those

[swift sluice]

So going to lillypad I should get:some nickel,some mushroom things,and the 2nd fragment for grappling arm

Is there anything I’m missing?

[quiet briar]

Where do you get magnetite

[trail torrent]

have you found the pilot’s base in the lilypad biome yet

[trail torrent]

go west and look for a large ice wall and then swim under it until you reach some small claustrophobic caves and you’ll find magnetite

im trying not to spoil anything as best i can lol

explore every biome

yes there’s a prawn suit

[swift sluice]

Are the grappling fragments in lillypad crevice near the deep purple vents I just found that they connect I think

[trail torrent]

the purple vents lead to a biome approx 500m deep

[swift sluice]

Idk but I found fragment for it where does flowering spore come from

[trail torrent]

flowering spores are found in the biome underneath the lily pad biome

have you scanned the builder tool fragments

[swift sluice]

Ok deep lillypad blobs

[trail torrent]

they can be found in the twisty bridges biome idk where exactly but theyre all in that biome

[eternal garnet]

one at 120m in twisty bridges canyon, next to the Large O2 tank that you also want, another outside Delta base door

[trail torrent]

oh yeah and delta base

[eternal garnet]

ya. you gotta have it. By a little building exactly 120m depth

[swift sluice]

Is benzene needed for any of the body parts

[trail torrent]

there’s a data box that gives you the blue print for the large oxygen tank

[eternal garnet]

I think so...

[trail torrent]

no but there’s some prawn suit fragments there

[swift sluice]

So just grab like 10 of the orange blobs then

[trail torrent]

and the water filter machine which is useful

[eternal garnet]

yes. they also make cute outdoor lighting

[trail torrent]

i think you only need like 2 but get like 4 just in case

[swift sluice]

Spike traps I just stab with my knife right

[trail torrent]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

or seaglide away. I find that easier

[quiet briar]

What’s the deepest the sea truck can go with max depth upgrades

[swift sluice]

The spikey traps are somehow the scariest part of this game

[eternal garnet]

||1000|| which covers everywhere

[trail torrent]

endgame base+monkey farm

[eternal garnet]

nice unnecessary door tube

[trail torrent]

not finished it yet

[swift sluice]

There aren’t any spikes traps in the center of the deep lillypads shallow right

[trail torrent]

just making more room for reinforcements

[swift sluice]

(Above squid shark is deep lillypads shallow)

[eternal garnet]

You posted a base, I post a base

[trail torrent]

my plan is to build large rooms across the whole cavern

[swift sluice]

Is there any spikey traps in the center of the shallow part of the deep lillypads

[eternal garnet]

no

[trail torrent]

no

[swift sluice]

Alr so time to get more blobs of stuff

[trail torrent]

just get 3 or 4 thats all youll need

[swift sluice]

But now I have a possibly deadly decision to make…

Do I get the yellow eggs or not…

[trail torrent]

yellow eggs?

[swift sluice]

Hmmmm

[trail torrent]

parker did you find the skeleton thing yet

[swift sluice]

The only body thing I don’t got is in the crystal I went in for a quick cache rush about a week ago when I found the deep lillypads but didn’t get anything else

So it’s either yellow eggs or leave after I get the orange blobs

[trail torrent]

you need to find the entrance beside the pilot’s base

[eternal garnet]

get the baby mushrooms there. And nickels

[swift sluice]

I’m probably not going in that way because ik there ain’t any shadow leviathans near the vents enterance

[trail torrent]

the skeleton?

[eternal garnet]

150 deep, there's a side tunnel, with alien green lights showing the way. Go in there sideways

[swift sluice]

Baby mushrooms? I have the mushrooms thingy and the orange blobs I just gotta get nickel and possibly yellow eggs

[eternal garnet]

this is in the canyon at 150m

[trail torrent]

oh that

[eternal garnet]

ohh THOSE eggs. Oh yes.

we call them gold

[trail torrent]

idk what yall mean by yellow eggs

[eternal garnet]

pet eggs

they are hidden in deep lilypads

[trail torrent]

speaking of eggs time to find some monkey eggs

[eternal garnet]

opposite direction to the body cache

[swift sluice]

Ik where they are but I’m going out in my prawn rn for nickel

So idk if to get the eggs while I’m here

I already got all the blue ones

Where does nickel spawn in the deep lillypads

[eternal garnet]

I just gave a big clue. down a dead end cave. Under a loop plant. There's two more

[eternal garnet]

all over, but not super common

[swift sluice]

Ik where they are but it’s either get them now or later when I’m more brave

[eternal garnet]

that's the light thing yes

Not sure about location, but it's not far, for sure

it's most definitely a tunnel

[swift sluice]

How much nickel do I need to finish the game

[eternal garnet]

Not sure. less than 14

[swift sluice]

Is it require for any of the body parts

Ik I need 5 total for the depth modules

[eternal garnet]

I think it might be

[swift sluice]

I have 3 rn and I really don’t wanna go to the squidsharks domain to get the rest so ima stop for a bit

[eternal garnet]

yes, most of the game

[swift sluice]

Sweet home Alabama

You gave me a oportunity

[eternal garnet]

sanctuary is still early game

please no gifs, no memes, here

[swift sluice]

Btw there is gold and silver veins along the wall of shallow twisty which is helpful early game

It’s in a cave near the landmasses direction

[eternal garnet]

it's in the north wall, depth 1m, yes. Just 50m west of where you first jumped in the water

[jovial hedge]

That's not a base that's a be

[eternal garnet]

best base

I has another base

[jovial hedge]

I didn't know they could be grown. I always assumed that you couldn't grow them because they'd need to grow into grand ones first

[jovial hedge]

donut

[oak fog]

That’s making me hungry 😭

[next current]

Nice donut.

[jovial hedge]

I wish cutting young cotton anemone got you flowering spores instead of seeds

Then I could farm all the advanced stuff

[stone flame]

both subnautica and BZ are C$13.19 right now on steam btw

[quiet briar]

What is the best thing I can grow to eat

[jovial hedge]

How far are you with the pilot

[eternal garnet]

fevered peppers, after the mid-game spicy salad

[quiet briar]

I got the architect sanctuary waypoint

[eternal garnet]

spicy salad is ridiculously good.

[quiet briar]

Ok

Where can you find them

[eternal garnet]

if you can't make that, peppers for eating and biofuel

its a recipe you get from the marge storyline

Ingredients grow indoors. It does not expire. 1 slot. Silly good stats

[quiet briar]

But where

[eternal garnet]

from the greenhouse

[quiet briar]

Ok

[eternal garnet]

what greenhouse? Follow the pilot storyline

[patent night]

After I got it I stayed at above 130 food for the entire game

Well

Until I reach 99 and eat again

[jovial hedge]

What's the best renewable bioreactor fuel?

As in, what generates the most power per slot that I can get renewably?

[tacit thorn]

peppers

1 pot = eternal power

[jovial hedge]

That's what I'm already using

Wiki says peeper or triops

Root pustules are better power-wise but non-renewable

[tacit comet]

Fish are better than plants, usually.

[tacit thorn]

The eye fish are the best it seems, if you feel like a monster

[tacit comet]

But they aren't renewable from inside your base.

[tacit thorn]

they are. large containment unit

[tacit comet]

The more eyes = the more power.

I mean, yeah sure.

[tacit thorn]

it just takes more space than flower pot

[tacit comet]

But that takes up a lot more space and resources than a pot does lmao.

[tacit thorn]

less clicking tho. just need to remember to leave two in

stupid random question: do chelicerae aggro on squidhasraks?

[tacit comet]

They can, I believe.

Creatures do respawn if killed by other creatures though.

[tacit thorn]

would following potentially work?

1. Clone a dozen of squisharks in my biolab.
2. haul dozen of them in a truck
3. release them in target area to draw attention of void fishies while I build?

[tacit comet]

Hmm.

Not sure if they'll actively seek them out, though.

They'll hunt them in the wild iirc.

Yuo could try it.

But most of them would probably stay, and then you'd have hostile Squidsharks after a while next to your base.

I would just wait until the cheli wanders away, then hop out and build, getting back in whenever it comes back.

And building from the inside if possible.

[tacit thorn]

don't raised fish stay friendly forever when released?

also, void fishies wont leave me alone if I stay in the zone

[tacit comet]

I believe it wears off after a bit.

Oh, the void, hmm.

I was thinking normal chelis for some reason.

Their intention is specifically to stop you.

[tacit thorn]

normal ones are technically extinct

[tacit comet]

I don't think that would've warranted an overhaul of their AI though, so they might still go after them like normal chelis.

[tacit comet]

I mean the red ones over purple vents, sparse arctic, etc.

Are the ones in game not regarded as normal?

[vivid bone]

Hello guys. Is there any mod for bz multiplayer?

[tacit comet]

Not sure. There could theoretically be one on the way though.

Tom, do you know if Nitrox wants to move to BZ or has done so already?

[eternal garnet]

there's one unfinished project, basically unusable, and it now seems stalled. Maybe not

[tacit thorn]

is there a save editor for bz? or a tool that can show where the resources are?

[tacit comet]

Ignis + your game files.

Literally true.

[eternal garnet]

you wouldn't download an Ignis

[tacit comet]

I would, if it became available to the general public.

[tacit thorn]

I don't get the "wouldn't download a car" mentality.
If I can make the car of comparable quality myself, cheaper, then your (manufacturer) production lines have a serious issue, or youre ripping me off really bad.

[eternal garnet]

what if you could 3D print a car in 400 pieces, assemble, drive

[tacit thorn]

is it cheaper in time and materials, and same quality/safety standard? Yes, I would.

[eternal garnet]

well, the seats are hard, there are no glass windows. And this is off topic

[tacit thorn]

yes, sorry for the tangent.
I would download a tool that lets me check where the ores in save are. I don't want to bother other people to check and report it for me, especially on data that constantly changes.

[tacit comet]

Yeah I get that.

Not sure, would be helpful.

Maybe you could find scanner room mods to kind of achieve that?

[eternal garnet]

or just type the magic word: "nocost"

[trail torrent]

how long does it take for baby sea monkeys to grow into adults in the acu

[eternal garnet]

guessing 20 min

oh wait that's hatch time. No clue

[trail torrent]

i slept and they grew

im guessing probably the same time

[tacit comet]

I think sleeping skips time.

Plants will grow, animals will breed and hatch, etc.

[jovial hedge]

Any good, safe routes to ||the greenhouse||? I don't want to run into any ||chelicerates||, any ||squidsharks||, or ||the void||.

[eternal garnet]

the regular route, east from delta dock is safe enough

go 1120m from the dock beacon, but also a tiny bit south

[tacit thorn]

and take a seatruck, prawn has trouble reaching

[jovial hedge]

I kinda took the dock beacon to use another way

[eternal garnet]

well, kinda put it back. Or find the last iceberg, to the east

it's got an arch/hole in it

And lights, boxes, skeletons

[tacit thorn]

spooky, scary, skeletons, or a regular kind?

[chrome cedar]

The keep off my land kind.

[trail torrent]

do sea monkeys breed inside the acu

[eternal garnet]

yes

[tacit thorn]

do ones bred in captivity would still bring you gifts after removing the head parasite?

[eternal garnet]

no

[trail torrent]

head parasite more like head friend

[steel stream]

Regarding this, will hatched sea monkeys steal your tools?

[tacit comet]

Once they start giving you items, I don’t believe they take from you again.

It’s mostly a one-time thing.

[eternal garnet]

they actually do, if you lose alan

I don't know about raised ones.

[tacit comet]

Huh

[eternal garnet]

ya, they aren't helping you

[tacit comet]

They only give you things if Al-An’s in your head?

[eternal garnet]

they help the being that can talk to them

[tacit comet]

Interesting

[eternal garnet]

this deceit is not clear ingame, but inferred

[tacit comet]

How does Al An do that though? I don’t believe it’s mentioned anywhere.

[eternal garnet]

telepathy? Ask him

[tacit comet]

I haven’t seen any evidence that he can perform telepathy inside someone else’s head.

[broken badge]

Uhhh

[eternal garnet]

anyway, confirmed, they steal again after the thingy

[tacit comet]

Lol

Okey dokey, artichokey.

[broken badge]

Al-an speaks to you before the transfer, initially it’s the sanctuary but it switches to his dialogue

[eternal garnet]

but that might be a PA system. But probably not

[tacit comet]

But afterwards, he’s no longer held in his own tech, he’s just in a cerebral cortex.

I would suspect he doesn’t have access to the same technology that he had previously.

[proven mortar]

i finished the game but when it loaded me back i was in the save in the fabricator cave right before i finished it is that normal?

[eternal garnet]

yes

the end is a dead end, so you cannot save there

[trail torrent]

are large room acu’s larger than multipurpose room acu’s and if so how many sea monkeys can fit in them

[eternal garnet]

yes, they are. Also both types STACK upward

for numbers, the wiki

[proper glen]

I will never understand the hate for this game I really enjoyed it

[eternal garnet]

yes, and it hurts a little to see

[tacit comet]

It is a different game, and should be compared the SN1 so often.

It’s a little depressing that people express their hate towards it so fervently.

[plain niche]

when do i get a habitate builder

[eternal garnet]

one at 120m in twisty bridges canyon, next to the Large O2 tank that you also want, another outside Delta base door

[plain niche]

ty

how deep is the ||pilot||

[tacit comet]

Like, the location where you’ll find her?

Or the last known location signal.

[plain niche]

both

[tacit comet]

The signal isn’t very deep

Maybe 100? I’m not quite sure.

You’ll find her a little under 400m.

(380)

[plain niche]

alright

[eternal garnet]

truck upgraded to 300 will do

[tacit comet]

You can swim the rest to O2.

[eternal garnet]

No. They went deeper, down a tunnel

yeees?

Spoiler on how to find her
||Below the beacon, there's a trench with glowing wall plants. Follow those, and o2 plants and light sticks North-West, down to 360m.||

That's great!

no, really

those are probably chelicerates. Red, big shrimp

well it is very lost, or you spawned it

it's a cheat command

"spawn chelicerate 30" makes an interesting life

it's not meant to be above 600m

no. shift-enter

[inland harbor]

Imagine cheating

[eternal garnet]

entering any command stops achievements for this save, forever

uhm. Bye

[inland harbor]

Wtf

Mods where r u

Rule 8

[eternal garnet]

... yes

[inland harbor]

So I don’t want to ping a mod

So uhh… you do it

[eternal garnet]

yes. testers are backup mods

[inland harbor]

Oh looks like they got banned

[inland harbor]

Ah okay, nice

[trim terrace]

since below 0 have 1/5 of the active player of subnautica is it good?

[tacit comet]

I think it’s great.

I don’t think it matches up to SN1, but it’s really hard to beat that.

But I find it enjoyable.

The people who don’t try to compare them.

[trim terrace]

my friend who is the reason i played subnautica in the first place told me the second feel way less open and more guided

[tacit comet]

I think of it as another, different dive into more Subnautica

And I relish the idea of exploring stuff I haven’t discovered yet.

[trim terrace]

he said that some area felt to " mission " like they were made to be fun to explore first time but no accecible to make a base

[cold knoll]

me screaming while exploring twisted bridge

[tacit comet]

Brute Sharks while you're screaming: "Free snacks"

[heavy wren]

Does anyone know how the trigger for the ||delta station dock|| works? For others it triggers pretty quickly, but for me it took a while

[tacit comet]

I'm not 100% sure, but it might activate once you're within a specific distance. It might unlock based on a certain amount of time if you take too long to find it as well.

[bold monolith]

That's exactly how it works.

[foggy iron]

bz on sale on steam for $14.84 let's GOOOOOO

[foggy iron]

it feels more like a spinoff than a sequel, and i'm fine with that

[tacit comet]

That's because it is.

It's a modified DLC/spinoff, and not actually Sub's sequel.

SN2 is coming soon, but BZ isn't it.

[steel stream]

I think we don't even know for sure if the new game will be SN2 or something else, only that it will be 'third game in the subnautica universe' (and that it will have water)

[tacit comet]

I believe it's been confirmed that the next installation in the Subnautica series will specifically focus on continuing SN1.

[frosty hare]

Is below zero worth it buying on sale?

Is there anything interesting?

I know it's like $3.5 rn, but still

[foggy iron]

ye

downloaded bz 5 minutes ago, here's the mods i have lined up for when i've finished my first playthrough

[frosty hare]

bet

[foggy iron]

not as good as the first game but still fun

[frosty hare]

Is it worth more than 2 Big Macs in ur opinion?

[foggy iron]

🤨

?

[frosty hare]

cuz that's about what is costs rn for me

Same as 2 big macs in mcdonalds

[foggy iron]

ah

[foggy iron]

i doubt your big macs last for hours so

yes it's worth more

[frosty hare]

into the cart it goes then

[deep kettle]

😂

I very much like this consideration, this is how every game should get advertised 🤣

[steel stream]

That reminds me of once heard cost comparison of mass spectrometry and NMR instruments: "This instrument is one Mercedes, and that one is two Mercedes"

[mellow ridge]

Oh yeah definitely buying bz now. Big macs are overpriced and overrated

[inland harbor]

Wait, only 3 dollars? I bought it like a week ago for $30 and same with the base game. If only I waited a week

That makes me a bit mad

You scan Al-and’s body pieces or go for sams lore

||(Crystal caves have a piece, deep lily pads have a piece, and the ice spires have a piece)||

Yeah you gotta scan Al-Ansbody parts to do that

And then go through his portal

Then you’re done

[eternal garnet]

the game doesn't end there, but yes

[north owl]

I dont think so

[tacit comet]

Ok, where did you see that?

[junior skiff]

below zero was continuing SN1 tho?

[patent night]

It’s after the first one but doesn’t build off of it

It sort of does but not really except for 1 storyline

[junior skiff]

it does in atleast 2 things

[patent night]

Yes

[junior skiff]

major things

[patent night]

No

[junior skiff]

yes

[patent night]

Not really no

[junior skiff]

one of them is literally ||how the infection got out||

[patent night]

That’s building off a different storyline tho. ||ALAN|| was never mentioned nor was the outbreak

[junior skiff]

and also ||marg is from the degasi crew||

[patent night]

That’s not major but that’s what I was talking about

[swift sluice]

I have until midnight till I can say I beat this game on my birthday so I gotta start getting down to the crystal caves

But do I get the yellow eggs as well hmmm

Screw the squid shark I’m going for it

Isn’t there also squid shark eggs near the yellow trialve eggs

Also what’s squidmans hp

I’m taking him down I’m tired of being afraid of squid sharks

[ebon berry]

Any tips for finding ||ribbon plants|| in the early game?

[eternal garnet]

in small hollows up north

they glow yellow-green

[ebon berry]

So early I don't even have a compass. I have found them before I just seem to need a lot of things made with them

[eternal garnet]

north= the volcano, and also the tiny moon is stuck North

[swift sluice]

Ok so the game glitched and the rock from propulsion cannon hit me when I fired it away.is activating console commands,finding where I died,and getting back fair

My quantum locker was placed down

Screw it I’m doing it

[eternal garnet]

this disables achievements. Sure it's fair.
If you always carry a beacon, it drops if you die

[swift sluice]

Ik where I died

I went to it got my stuff and then saved and quitted to disable commands

[magic stag]

Just play how you want to play.

[swift sluice]

Mainly because the rock shouldn’t have killed me :/

[eternal garnet]

this still disables achievements

[swift sluice]

Idc I’ll use a mod to force give them

[eternal garnet]

commands set a cheat flag, saved with the game

[swift sluice]

I did it and I technically didn’t cheat the endings

[eternal garnet]

If you just run QmodLoader, this will enable achievements again

[swift sluice]

Uhh let’s see if I can remember how to do that first

I cannot it is not still installed on original subnaitica

[eternal garnet]

it's the thing that loads nearly all mods

[swift sluice]

Ik what it is how it works idk

Or where’s to get it from

And how to install it

[magic stag]

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero/mods/1

[swift sluice]

I use discord on mobile and games on pc that doesn’t really help :/

[magic stag]

Just type the URL into your browser.

[swift sluice]

Install that in below zero and then achivments are reenabled

[magic stag]

Should do.

[swift sluice]

I’ll check my making a snowfox cuz I don’t have that achivment

Wait it’s already in subnaitica below zero in my files but the mods clearly aren’t working

[eternal garnet]

I've seen the cause of this being: the user had 2 copies of the game in different folders

[swift sluice]

?

So wat do I do Dm if you don’t wanna use this chat

[eternal garnet]

Modifying the wrong copy

[swift sluice]

So where do I move the files

[eternal garnet]

that's just one reason it's not working. I dunno

if you are on steam, the correct game folder saves games into Snappdata\savegames. check dates there

[swift sluice]

So I got auto save at 1:35 on

Pm what do I do

[eternal garnet]

no, cause I don't know

[swift sluice]

Do you know a app to open .json files tho

It’s what the game info files are in

[eternal garnet]

just notepad or a browser

[swift sluice]

To the AppStore it is then

[eternal garnet]

oh an app. Any text editor

[ebon berry]

I finished ||alien distress call where they downloaded in to my cortex|| . The beacon is still there. Did I miss something?

[eternal garnet]

it's a little wonky. turn it off in PDA

also related: when you visit the green beacons, change color and/or turn them off. It gets difficult to remember which are new

[ebon berry]

Thanks

[swift sluice]

I’m prob gonna just get a force achivment thing

Cuz I did only cheat since the game cheated me to my death

Ye ima just find a way to force achivments since this is unfair

[ebon berry]

what events lead me to ||outpost zero||? Please try not to spoil.

[tacit comet]

You can go to it anytime, but you’d likely stumble upon it later during the endgame.

It’s hard to find unless you’re actively looking for it.

[ebon berry]

Ulimitely looking for ||habitat builder|| which I thought I would be hand-held in to finding as its a major component of the game.

[tacit comet]

The habitat builder is a key part of the game. I fail to see how that relates to outpost zero.

[ebon berry]

I read that was a place to find the blueprints

[tacit comet]

Outpost zero isn’t a necessary part of the story, and doesn’t have a ton of useful things.

It’s one place, the others are way easier though.

You don’t want to go for outpost zero.

[ebon berry]

I feel like I'm farther into the game than I expecte to be before finding that item

I could be wrong though, maybe I just need to shutup and enjoy the game.

[tacit comet]

The Habitat Builder is only there because that used to be spawn.

I don’t think the fragment was removed, there wasn’t really a need to.

They changed the spawn location though.

[ebon berry]

Ok. Sounds like I didn't miss anything, I just haven't come across the habitat builder yet.

[eternal garnet]

Best spot: ||120m down in twisty bridges canyon by a little building||. Because this has something else you must have.

spoilered only because you may not want help

[ebon berry]

Is there a "quest" that wil lead me there or is it just a matter of exploring the world?

[eternal garnet]

Exploring, i'd say. It's necessary in this game. And subnatica too

[steel stream]

I went to outpost zero quite early because of the early pda entries which tell Sam was transferred there and I kept doing the initial mission instead of all the new 'side quests'...

[frigid depot]

Just scanned a sky ray. It was difficult

[tacit comet]

Yes lol.

[eternal garnet]

just say NO to them

[tacit comet]

Exactly.

Follow Jeremiah’s advice.

[frigid depot]

And scanned a chelicerate and it was difficult but not in the way most would expect, he kept running away and it only let me scan him near his upper body

Now the last couple things I need to scan to complete my entries is the spotted dock leaf, the yellow trivalve, the propulsion cannon and the glow fungus

No clue how I don’t have the propulsion cannon yet

[mortal rune]

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to play Below Zero on Linux and I'm getting some really big graphical errors.

A lot of plants are translucent solid colors, and fog and explosions and other particles are squares.

[eternal garnet]

I have a thing to try. You need to supply a command argument to the game. sec

This. Steam has a box for it in game properties:
-force-glcore

[mortal rune]

Alright I'll give it a try. One moment and I'll message the verdict.

[eternal garnet]

oh you also have mods. This can create any kind of issues

[mortal rune]

I don't currently. That second screen shot was a copy of the last image I sent about it on the modded server, thinking it was a mod issue, but then I backed up the old game files and had steam redownload the game fresh and still have the same issue.

Also the command didn't work.

The particles when surfacing out of the water are square too. And a lot of the plants are still solid shades of pink/purple

[eternal garnet]

GPU driver needs to be recent, and probably manually installed (I am pretty lost here, but I have done this once years ago)

Now I am out of ideas. maybe Ignis can help

[tacit comet]

Ignis will demonstrate technological superpowers.

[mortal rune]

I checked and found out I was running Nvidia's 470 meta package, and that the latest 530, so I switched. Unfortunately, all the particles are still squares.

[forest ibex]

I get lost in this game so easily like I don't even know what to do like the first game is easy this one I'm am stuck in the area with the twisty arm things

[swift sluice]

Subnaitica run on a potato be like

[echo latch]

Time to release my crabsnakes out into the wild :3

They need to learn how to get alone with my other fish

Like my 8 pet stalkers
Stanley's 67 inbred brothers
My Crabsquid
And Bill

[next current]

#subnautica-chat 😅

[echo latch]

Oh crap

I was wondering why there was a below zero screenshot

[foggy iron]

your crabsquid attack you as soon as you released it?

[cold knoll]

*me trying to find gold

[chrome cedar]

Anyone playing BZ on a SteamDeck? Just started playing on that hardware, external monitor. I’ve been trying to tweak the graphic settings on the unit and the game, no limit on FPS, but having an odd issue when surfacing, graphics lose resolution, kinda chunky. Also a very annoying bloom when heading to the light, same issue when entering a base with the light bloom. I did find a bloom setting in the BZ graphics menu, didn’t make much difference.

[tacit comet]

Ima be honest, I have no clue what Steam deck does and why it’s there.

[tacit comet]

No, they won’t. I believe they will become hostile after a while outside though, if the creature normally is.

[gilded carbon]

sup

[swift sluice]

Technically my birthday starts at 6pm June 30th so I have until 6pm July 1st to beat the game and can still say I did it on my birthday

[carmine fiber]

Yo I just got the game any tips?

[cold knoll]

So far for me is just go explore and don't be a chicken like me xD

[carmine fiber]

I kidnapped a baby penguin 10/10

[carmine bobcat]

Awesome lol

[stuck stratus]

slay king fr

[tacit comet]

Child stealer.

[terse river]

This is just beautiful

[edgy onyx]

i can see why below zero is so significantly inferior to the prequel...
can also see they tried to improve some things especially quality of life, small things such as menu opening speed for example.

sense of scale is off more than the first game too
i went to scan a shark sized fish called the chelicerate
and after i scanned it, it bit me for 90% of my HP "aha so thats probably considered a leviathan here"

What does sleeping acomplish?

[lime grove]

skips time

[edgy onyx]

ah so the seatruck is the replacement for the Cyclops

i wish there was a way to disable character voice cos its insufferable

[next current]

Sorry, we ran out of those. Thankfully the Seatruck pretty much does the same job but ever so slightly better.

[edgy onyx]

while at the same time being significantly inferior to the cyclops

[next current]

There is one mod. PDA Voice Emma I think it's called.

[frosty marsh]

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero/mods/290

[next current]

If you do decide to install it, let me know how it is. It's not a mod you hear too many people talk about.

[frosty marsh]

Beat you too it slicey

[next current]

Wasn't really going for a link but thanks anywho. 😄

[frosty marsh]

xD

[hybrid pivot]

I mean subnautica bz isnt even a sequal so

[broken badge]

BZ is a “standalone expansion”

[edgy onyx]

looks rushed

[broken badge]

All the arguments for needing a cyclops really don’t meet much merit imo for BZ. The map is too small for needing one. The seatruck, while you can’t build inside of it, has storage, plus you can condense materials; there is also an aquarium module that picks up fish, and you have ways to make water to carry with you. So several complaints about the game are kinda🤷‍♀️ The map IS smaller and there’s some story issues, but beyond those things it’s a very good game. The seatruck is an excellent vehicle, in its modular design, you can adapt it to all sorts of conditions (even on the fly)

[edgy onyx]

ye the map does indeed feel tiny in comparison

changes to recipes are noticible aswell

[broken badge]

I think the recipe changes are very welcome changes

[edgy onyx]

still bit confusing cos endgame materials are found anywhere in BZ lol

i do enjoy the reduction in some like 5 titanium for ingots

however enamelled glass requries diamonds now which are a much harder resource to find than teeth were

[broken badge]

Harder when you’re new to the game and don’t know the biomes or areas.
I had difficulty with that at first.
But know that I know where to get them, it’s only a little difficult to get to them initially, but not hard to find them at all

[edgy onyx]

the scaling in this game makes no sense either...
Squidshark nibbles you for like 10% HP
then theres Chelicerate, same size, consumes 90% HP

[broken badge]

Why does that not make sense

The cheli is a leviathan

Squidshark is not a leviathan

They’re not the same size

[edgy onyx]

bro theyre the same size........

[next current]

They aren't.

[edgy onyx]

atleast in the first game Leviathans actually looked huge
imagine if it was the size of a stalker

[next current]

They are very different in scale.

[edgy onyx]

well from the First person perspective they look roughly the same

[next current]

On a different save, go into freecam and set the game speed to 0. Then place a sizeref next to both creatures.

[edgy onyx]

i mean yea i guess since the camera which is your face is twice the size it should be in that world...

everything looks small

its kinda weird they never found a way to make things look their actual size

[next current]

I dunno man. They seem pretty big to me.

[edgy onyx]

wtf
its like double the size??

[broken badge]

Almost triple

[edgy onyx]

i swam up to it and touched it to scan it
and from my perspective it looked like it was only like 2x as long as myself

wtf

thats insane how screwed the perspective is...

[next current]

A Squidshark is about 10m while the Cheli is around 35m iirc.

[edgy onyx]

it could eat me without me noticing
then theres me swimming up to it and hugging it no fear 😹

am i brave or ignorant

[next current]

That's for you to decide.

[broken badge]

Here’s a crazy tale for ya! This cheli followed me back to Mercury bow from tree spires. I didn’t even know it, I was free swimming around in the dark and something brushed against me. Thought it was a squidshark and so I swam back to my seatruck and it started to get light, so I turned around and imagine my freaking out when I saw it wasn’t a squidshark after all but a cheli!👀

[next current]

What a silly Chelicerate! XD

[broken badge]

Yeah! Go back to tree spires where you belong😬

[edgy onyx]

i take it back it looks a little bigger than squidshark

wait are diamonds on the surface?

[next current]

No.

Well... technically yes. But they're nowhere near the starting area.

[edgy onyx]

that much i know

[mild otter]

Is that a grey one? I ve read in the descrption that the grey ones are mutanted 👀

Is there a end to the game or after finishing the story can we just build further?

[broken badge]

No, the zombie chelis are in the void

You return to where you saved prior to finishing the game and can continue playing, just like in Subnautica

[mild otter]

Worth playing subnautica afterwards too?

Do we need to have all 3 builder parts first before we can craft them? Could do one part but i have no clue where

[eternal garnet]

There isn't really a point to craft less than 3 parts.
Yes, if you enjoyed BZ, Subnautica is a similar experience

[ebon berry]

I wish there was a way to lower the intensity of the jump scares

[edgy onyx]

by similar he means better
BZ is far inferior to the masterpiece of Subnautica

[tacit comet]

It depends on your view of the game, some people prefer BZ more. I agree, I share your opinion, but people experience these games differently.

[edgy onyx]

yea but its 98 to 2 so like...
objectively BZ is worse

[tacit comet]

That’s your opinion, there are quite a few people who prefer BZ to the original.

[edgy onyx]

if it was my opinion i wouldve said Subjective

if its fact its Objective

[eternal garnet]

rude.

[tacit comet]

Having an option isn’t rude.

[edgy onyx]

how is it rude its not even my opinion

[tacit comet]

Forcing it on others is.

[eternal garnet]

Claiming it isn't opinion when it is

[edgy onyx]

thats an ignorant viewpoint

[eternal garnet]

it's anti-social

[edgy onyx]

because if you take a look at game reviews, stats and ratings

its 98 to 2 in terms of popularity

it doesnt even matter why are you making me bring this up...

[tacit comet]

Let’s not start a huge argument, that’ll lead us nowhere, but saying that one game is better is your opinion, and may or may not be shared with others.

I’m also not sure where you’re getting that “98 to 2” info from.

[edgy onyx]

again not an opinion
subnautica is objectively better than BZ
hence why 98% of the playerbase agrees

you can like BZ more than subnautica thats your subjective opinion

but thats not what he asked

[tacit comet]

Where did you get that evidence though?

I’d like to know if it’s actually a reliable figure.

[steel stream]

And still it's based on opinions of players...

[somber island]

after you ||transfer Al-an to their new body|| can you keep playing, or does the game automatically end?

[eternal garnet]

yes you can. And even after the end you can load your save

What I mean is it ends a bit later

[somber island]

sweeeet

[eternal garnet]

If you care about monkey gifts post-game, you should save for the last time before body transfer, and then run towards the ending

[tacit comet]

[ebon berry]

Does qmod still work with the current version of the game?

[eternal garnet]

yes, if qmodmanager is updated

If it isn't, game hangs on the black warning screen

[ebon berry]

I don't get warnings it just doesn't seem to load.

Is there anything in game that indicates that qmod manager loaded?

[eternal garnet]

it writes a log file. let me find

[ebon berry]

Thank you for your help

[edgy onyx]

how many cargos can the seatruck have?

[ebon berry]

My qmods folder is empty. Maybe vortex messed it up. I will download the mod manually.

[eternal garnet]

We have not found a limit. someone went past 100

[next current]

🖐️

[steel stream]

As many as you build, but it will get slower the more modules you have

[edgy onyx]

i see
how slow was it for the 100 module fella?

the seatruck is slow as all hell as is...

without upgrades anyway

[next current]

3 meters a second

[edgy onyx]

slightly slower than default speed then 😹

[next current]

Sorry had it wrong.

1 meter every 3 seconds.

[eternal garnet]

Truck remains full speed with 2 modules. 3 if you have the horsepower upgrade. I have a graph if you want

[quaint vortex]

3 seconds per meter

[edgy onyx]

sounds more accurate yea

1m/3s

only shows the HP of up to 5 modules ye?

[ebon berry]

Thanks @eternal garnet manually installing the mod did the trick!

[next current]

Yeah.

[eternal garnet]

It writes qmodmanager_log-SubnauticaZero.txt in the game folder

[next current]

Despite being made of Plasteel Ingots. Y'know... A super strong material in the Subnautica universe. Somehow the modules have less health than the Seatruck. Y'know... the thing that needs a Titanium ingot to make.

[steel stream]

But the modules can handle any pressure...

[next current]

Fair...

That is very fair.

[ebon berry]

Is the base seatruck faster than the seaglide?

[next current]

Yeah.

[steel stream]

I mean that if you detach modules, any depth module you have stays in the cabin, but the modules are just fine by themselves at any depth (as is prawn in docking module without depth module btw)

[ebon berry]

Is there a way to recharge the ||seatruck|| without taking the battery out? I don't have any buildings that it can dock in.

[eternal garnet]

no, that would be one of two docking buildings

or cheats

[steel stream]

Good point, prawn has thermal reactor; also cyclops and seamoth in first game have charging upgrade modules, but seatruck doesn't

[edgy onyx]

fr? feels about equally as slow...

[edgy onyx]

two?

for the seatruck?

[eternal garnet]

yes, moonpool and the new seatruck dock

[edgy onyx]

besides the moonpool what other structure can charge the seatruck?

seatruck dock...

[eternal garnet]

is a long glass tube

it handles the modules a lot nicer. And it repairs and has a mod station

[edgy onyx]

how many modules can it hold?

[eternal garnet]

all of dem

docked modules become part of your base. just walk in

[edgy onyx]

mf what is all of them
you can attach 100+ to the seatruck

[eternal garnet]

yes... all of those.

the dock has an open end

[edgy onyx]

i need to see a screenshot how thats gonna work...

ah thought so

sticks out of the building

[eternal garnet]

the blueprint comes free with moonpool

[steel stream]

It's like 4 modules before they start to stick out of the glass tube though

[mild otter]

I really like the bioms of bz and the newer look is just great to experience

[edgy onyx]

is BZ a different planet?

[steel stream]

No, same planet as first game

[edgy onyx]

thought so...

[swift sluice]

Best enterance to crystal caves?

[eternal garnet]

whichever is closer. Just drop a beacon there for getting out

[next current]

I take the entrance in the Deep Purple Vents. It's the best imo.

[swift sluice]

Just don’t go past the archway before I get the depth module with kyanite right

Also how many power cells should I take extra

I gotta get the deep crystal cache then head to base to get resources to then rush the fabricator base

[ebon berry]

Can I "multiply" ribbon plants with the planter or is it just decorative?

[eternal garnet]

you can grow them, yes. cut with knife

[swift sluice]

So how many power cells should I bring

[eternal garnet]

not hard to do with none. So bring 1

[swift sluice]

I also got prawn suit and 4 total modules

So just rush the deep vents enterance and hope for good amount of kyanite

[eternal garnet]

ya it's not rare

[swift sluice]

Ima hope for 8 cuz 5 for modules,3 for rebuilding

Does the jukebox in seatruck use power

[eternal garnet]

very little

[swift sluice]

So use it then since it’s little power

Also how much damage shadow man deal to seatruck when I shock him also what’s the thing to shock it never shocks when I spam my mouse

[eternal garnet]

select the module first. PC: key 1-5. If fired at the right time, start of attack, there's 0 damage

[swift sluice]

What’s the mouse button

It never triggers right away when I spamclick

[eternal garnet]

left

[ebon berry]

oooooooohhhh

[eternal garnet]

for plants that don't have seeds or fruit, knife cut gives seeds

[ebon berry]

Excellent. Thank you.

[eternal garnet]

several of the decorative plants can't be planted. sorry

[swift sluice]

Ima goto crystal

[ebon berry]

I don't decorate. Just like my home irl if it doesn't serve a function I'd rather not have it 😛

Though I do like plants so I guess that's mostly not true

[swift sluice]

Ok time to pray the shadow man doesn’t come to the deep purple vents crystal caves enterance area

What’s the range on the leviathan creature warning

Is it like 100 meters,50 meters,150 meters

[eternal garnet]

it comes once, so it doesnt matter

[swift sluice]

I haven’t even entered the main cave yet and I’m already scared

Mainly because last time the shadow man spawned late and spawned inside of my seatruck

Last time I went on a kyanite trip

Ima just get out in my prawn suit

Can the drill arm grab stuff or should I temporarily take out the grappling arm

I see shadow man’s…thingy,chest cavity,mouth idk what it is but ima hope it’s like a trex

Great it’s gone I’m not moving

I’m less scared of the void than the crystal caves

Also the increasing volume tense music doesn’t help!

I thought he wasn’t meant to be able to get into the deep vents enterance area im not making it out alive

What is the depth of the deep crystal cache

I’m bouta rush it and hope there some kyanite near it since there is no shadow man’s down there

[eternal garnet]

the top entrance to it is 670m, is what I know. Then maybe 50m deeper

[swift sluice]

Hmmm so I have 2 kyanite,either prawn or seatruck I can only get one

Which one should I return to the surface to make

If I can find 1 more I can get both

But shadow man is in the area I previously considered safe

should I get seatruck to enter the deep crystal or drop in the prawn suit

Great found last peice but shadow man was right above it now he’s gone

[eternal garnet]

seatruck. There is a problem where shadows will attack a parked prawn

also, perimeter defense

[swift sluice]

Do they 1 shot players

If they do I gotta make a risky play

[eternal garnet]

not sure, I think maybe 90% dmg

[swift sluice]

Should I go for it in the prawn

It’s 10 meters infront of me

But the shadow man is currently either above me or in the walls

Shadows In the walls Shadows In the walls Shadows In the walls

He sees me he sees me

So does he run after shocky shocky

Or does he stay nearby

The shocky shocky ain’t working

Ima reload a save 1 sec

[eternal garnet]

do not fire until it descends to attack

else it does nothing, and has a cooldown

[swift sluice]

It did 50 damage before my game decided it wanted to work

Why can he see me when I don’t move I thought he was blind and used sound

I’ve never seen eyes on a shadow man

Ima reload and rush for the kyanite

Will he attack if I’m not driving the seatruck

He’s now right above it right as I’m bouta hop out to grab it

Jeezus why can they screech

I got the kyanite I’m running

The shocky didn’t work I’m reloading again I saved right after I got the kyanite

[eternal garnet]

again, do not fire until it attacks

[tacit thorn]

Basically, until you see the grabbing animation. It doesnt affect the big boy otherwise.
It may help to charge the shock (hold button), but I havent tested it.

Also, he does not seem to make damage to truck until he pulls you in.

[swift sluice]

I am not firing I spam clicking while he’s attacking and it refuses to work

He does not attack unless I’m driving correct

[tacit thorn]

it has a cooldown

[swift sluice]

What are the ingredients for the deep crystal caves body part

[tacit thorn]

one of them is kyanite if I ecall correctly. plenty of it in the area

[swift sluice]

Ik kyanire and ion cube but idk the middle one

[tacit thorn]

wiki has it

[edgy onyx]

ait i need a sense of scale and direction
Where on the map do you crash land?

[tacit thorn]

||midway to the top|| If you explore areound a bit, you will get some beacons

[edgy onyx]

above twisty bridges?

[tacit thorn]

north from the lifepod

[edgy onyx]

bro what are you talking about...

[tacit thorn]

you have a lifepod beacon, right?

[edgy onyx]

@eternal garnet where on the map do you crash land?

straight up just circle the part on the map for me if u can

[edgy onyx]

so thats right above twisty bridges..

graci

What are these?

just arrows?

[eternal garnet]

markers from the whatsit tool

[tacit thorn]

you'll find a pathmaker tool nearby

never found it useful, forgot it existed even

[edgy onyx]

never even made it

[steel stream]

There's a yellow handle in the module, use that to 'drive' the module

Outside

[tacit thorn]

exit, grab the handle on top, manually aseemble the truck

[edgy onyx]

do i uh... kill it or?

[steel stream]

Hold a flare, it will run away

[tacit thorn]

you can attach cabin this way, but not useful with more modules

[edgy onyx]

but do i kill it?

it drop anything?

[steel stream]

No reason to kill

[tacit thorn]

You can, if you want easier sample gathering. Prawn works well.

hard to aim when the truck is 3 modules long 😂

[steel stream]

You definitely won't get fur by killing them, if that's what you need...

[edgy onyx]

the AI is somewhat terrible... i can kill it with my knife
how much HP it has?

[tacit thorn]

It makes them not move when collecting tho.

[eternal garnet]

3 bottles of HP sauce

[edgy onyx]

...not much

[tacit thorn]

I'd advise to not fight a bear using a knife.

[edgy onyx]

shame i cant skin it alive for the fur

[edgy onyx]

no worries im built different

[tacit thorn]

uh, you can. But need ||the penguin drone||

bacause game logic

[edgy onyx]

eeeeeeeh... needa get back to base to craft one...

how long corpse stays?

[steel stream]

You can also find fur in the floor of some caves

[edgy onyx]

ye but only 1...

[tacit thorn]

it will probably despawn when you go away. but you can collect from living ones. If youre not afraid of getting eaten while driving the drone

[edgy onyx]

i just gutted one what do you think?

[steel stream]

Build I compartment and hatch, and use the pengi-bot from there...safe from cold as well
Maybe throwing a flare on the ground is also enough to keep the bears away

[tacit thorn]

put the module on end of the truck.
drive the prawn and jump toward end of truck. it will stick.

truck cabin needs to be connected or the module has no power

also: prawn can jump. not exactly swimming, but its like 50+ meters vertically. If yout truck is higher, bring the truck down

[tacit thorn]

it is different to fight one when you can see it vs being a sitting duck when staring at pda

should just work. is the truck powered aka has cabin attached?

as long as you slam the backside of truck, it will pick the prawn up and eject you

[chrome cedar]

Just finished a speed run of BZ. Forgot to save before the end, but I think play time was around 7 hours. I should be able to shave an hour off that next time.

[maiden ravine]

Is there a way to scan fragments that are in rocks? I've been all around the circle and it's definitely in the rock but I can't get to it :/

I've found 3 like that now!

[chrome cedar]

No, it’s essentially a bug.

[maiden ravine]

Okay thanks!

[tacit thorn]

option 1 - fiddle the scanner until it hits the bounding box. sometimes works.
option 2 - build a foundation interescting the rock. some rocks can be removed this way

[chrome cedar]

Frustrating when you’re scanning by things swimming around and come back to that one again and again. LoL

[maiden ravine]

For sure!

[tacit thorn]

Visual example of docking prawn. Hope discord renders it ok.

[maiden ravine]

Cool I'll try those!

[chrome cedar]

Interesting about trying to build something there. I know I’ve tried scanning from multiple points of view.

[tacit thorn]

only found out lately. Helps for those drill nodes that spawn under rocks. but not all rocks are removable, sadly

if rock gives yellow/red warning when building, its not removable

[chrome cedar]

Cool

[tacit thorn]

if it justcaloows you to build through, game removes the rock ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[maiden ravine]

I did find out that you can pull ore from rocks with a gravtrap but sadly this trick doesn't work with fragments 😦

[tacit thorn]

lost some cool looking cliffs in crystal cave this way

[tacit thorn]

you could try anyway. I think some fragments can be dragged around by grav trap

[chrome cedar]

Interesting idea

[ebon berry]

Is the ||snowfox|| generatlly considered to be worth building? I theres a lot of ||stairs, rivers, swimming|| in the area it would be useful?

[chrome cedar]

I’ve used the traps for h e small bits I can’t reach in crevices.

[maiden ravine]

Yeah I tried but no dice 😦

[chrome cedar]

If you have the resources, it’s fun for getting around. But I usually use my ||prawn.||

[ebon berry]

Can I get i n here or is it just a clue that you can get back there somehow?

[eternal garnet]

neither, it's a spy pengling cave

if there's a little machine nearby

[ebon berry]

Yep

[tacit thorn]

Use the robot buddy to grab loot inside

btw, is there a way to mark these as explored? blow up the little machine so it doesnt show on scanner anymore?

[true maple]

do you guys have any tips on finding the fabricator caverns i have been wandering crystal caverns for 30 mins now

[tacit thorn]

its in the deepest, farthest area. look for giant red crystals

[eternal garnet]

yes, just go east+down

[true maple]

i got the deepest where i could and its a dead end

[tacit thorn]

lot of red crsystals?

[true maple]

i tried but no luck yet

[tacit thorn]

two leviathan buddies?

[eternal garnet]

East. Target is at 950m

[true maple]

they are almost everywhere

[tacit thorn]

four of them total. last pair is the correct room

[true maple]

i dont have a compass

[tacit thorn]

look for entrance at far end, near bottom floor

[eternal garnet]

fail

[tacit thorn]

why no compass?

[true maple]

it feels like the cave is only a path to the hole where the ||alien organs|| are

[eternal garnet]

So from any entrance, pass the organs location, continue same direction, down

[true maple]

isnt it a dead end?

[tacit thorn]

you need a room made up from giant red crystal pillars. two leviathans in there

[eternal garnet]

it is, but first, red cave

exits are kind of west

[true maple]

i keep seeing the two in the crystal caverns because its like a loop

i think i found it

[eternal garnet]

so get to the organs entrance, find the exit beacon, go the other way.
