below-zero-chat

[unkempt scroll]

Just like with ||her base||

[limber coral]

yep

ig it makes you explore more?

[unkempt scroll]

And then after countless hours of exploring and finding nothing you just give up and watch a guide.

Yes. Defenetly worth it.

[limber coral]

there should be likea half braincell difficulty

for people like me

[unkempt scroll]

It’s not your fault. It’s poor game design.

[limber coral]

its a good game

just mabye a few more beacons yk

[unkempt scroll]

It’s a good game.

Just worse than the first one.

[limber coral]

first one was a masterpeice

[unkempt scroll]

And the second one isn’t.

[lime grove]

I still like bz more than SN1

[limber coral]

wait

||so sam dies from blowing up alterra and thats it? I just leave the greenhouse now?||

[unkempt scroll]

Yes. Incredibly disappointing.

Imagine finding out the big plot twist that your sister ||really did die out of negligence.||

[unkempt scroll]

Nothing wrong with that.

It’s still worse than the first game though.

[limber coral]

this is kind of a letdown, is the final ending better tho?

like where you dont find out through a pda?

[unkempt scroll]

I suppose it is better. But you can make it like the worst possible ending under certain circumstances.

[limber coral]

there are different endings??

[unkempt scroll]

No. Only one. It’s just a “good” ending if you did the stuff you supposedly have to do in the game. If you do not, this ending becomes incredibly stupid.

You can literally get the final ending ||without even finding out what happened to your sister||

[limber coral]

oh-

so its just unrelated?

[unkempt scroll]

Yes! They made main storyline a side quest! Can you believe it?

[limber coral]

thats rly sad

[unkempt scroll]

It makes ending pointless because what did Robin even came to this planet in the first place if we can just not do that?

[tawny fiber]

Is there a way to added structure integrity to your house without making it look ugly?

I have no more space for anything and don't want to be like a new multipurpose room

[unkempt scroll]

Why? You don’t like hull reinforcements? They are awesome!

I love them!

[tawny fiber]

no room

[unkempt scroll]

I even place them when there is no need for them.

[limber coral]

how about those door things

[unkempt scroll]

You can place doors only in tubes that you build.

[limber coral]

yeah

you could place doors in every tube

and the base supports too

[tawny fiber]

they look horrible

[unkempt scroll]

U look horrible. They look fine.

[tawny fiber]

too bulky

bro my seatruck compartment just blew up

[unkempt scroll]

I wish your SeaTruck blew up too.

No offence. I just hate all SeaTrucks.

Despise them.

[tawny fiber]

I didn't even do anything

[viral isle]

Innocent? More like incorrect

[unkempt scroll]

If you wanna say that the fact that I hate SeaTruck is not correct than you are wrong.

My hatred towards that vehicle is inexplicable.

[viral isle]

It’s a truck in the sea that’s yes

But cyclops is even more yes

[unkempt scroll]

Glad we agree at least in this aspect.

Too bad no cyclops in BZ.

[viral isle]

It’s much better as a mobile base tbh

The seatruck is more of a mix between the seamoth and the cyclops

[unkempt scroll]

That’s why I hate it so much. Remember How good Cyclops was? It was so good it could literally be a mobile base. Well now have this abomination which has no storage, no means to produce food and no energy that’s is just as slow as Cyclops for no reason. Have fun.

It does not even have sonar. What a disgrace.

[eternal garnet]

Not even a jacuzzi.

But the cyclops doesn't have a jukebox

[unkempt scroll]

Yeah. Totally makes pup for everything.

[tawny fiber]

can someone give me a hint on where to find that crystal cave

[eternal garnet]

Have you found: Pilot's home, or the tiny wreck east of purple vents?

[unkempt scroll]

It’s near ||Margueritte’s base||

[tawny fiber]

I've found pilots green house

the tiny wreck, which one?

[eternal garnet]

east end of purple vents. Deep below that, going north, is entrance 2

entrance 1 is near pilot's home

A deep hole just outside it

[tawny fiber]

is pilots home the island?

[eternal garnet]

no

[tawny fiber]

ok I need to find it

[eternal garnet]

it's near "pilot last seen"

and pilot is of course Marguerit

[cedar trail]

anyone knows a good Huge base tutorial video?

[tawny fiber]

bruh I was just over there

[eternal garnet]

dod you inside the greenhouse?

[tawny fiber]

no it was locked

[eternal garnet]

what did I type? dod? lol

You should find the pilot. You want the mk1 truck depth

[tawny fiber]

I have that

[eternal garnet]

go to the beacon. She isn't there, she continued into a tunnel ||north west and down|| click if you want directions

[tawny fiber]

I found it

[eternal garnet]

don't leave without a truck upgrade

A beacon here is a good idea, or even better down the hole to the new biome

[tawny fiber]

bro I was 1% away from scannning it

[carmine bobcat]

bulkheads are pretty good in case of you accidently hitting your base

[junior girder]

Why do people rip on Below Zero so much?

[unkempt scroll]

Because it’s completely reasonable.

But yeah… I suppose some complaints about BZ are not valid.

[junior girder]

oh, what is bad though? not coming from a bad place, just haven't seen many comparisons

[unkempt scroll]

Questionable decisions towards game’s story and characters. SeaTruck being the worst vehicle in SN. Incredibly small map. Lack of deeper biomes. ICEWORMS(yes. just iceworms). Very poor navigation.

[inland rose]

I also think that but they did a great job with the bases

[unkempt scroll]

By doing what? Adding big rooms?

Wow. What a great job.

[inland rose]

Exactly

Nah im joking

[unkempt scroll]

Not funny.

[inland rose]

What did you expect to come from the mind of a mentally unstable 13 year old : D

[unkempt scroll]

You are right. I really don’t expect much from you.

[inland rose]

My family neither

[unkempt scroll]

Can you stop?

[inland rose]

Yes

[vast idol]

It doesn’t live up to their expectations

[unkempt scroll]

Oh. That too.

[vast idol]

For me though the game is actually pretty alright

[unkempt scroll]

Forgot to mention.

[unkempt scroll]

I suppose some aspects of the game are pretty alright.

[vast idol]

The fish designs were neat

[unkempt scroll]

Yes. They indeed were neat.

[vast idol]

I wish there were more plant seeds

[unkempt scroll]

I did not have problem with that.

[hasty turtle]

where is the ||maida's greenhouse||?

I can't find it

[unkempt scroll]

Lmao. U are the second one today.

Look up a guide or something.

[hasty turtle]

really? did the first one find it?

[unkempt scroll]

Yes.

[hasty turtle]

okay

[unborn bane]

subnautica

[unkempt scroll]

My fave game!

[craggy flame]

Ok, what year are the 2 games set in?

[vast idol]

I think we would be comparable to the 50s to them

[broken badge]

22nd century is when the games take place

[stark moss]

Go to the dsd and go west

[topaz whale]

I'm playing Subnautica and this lady named ||Maida|| from degasi sounds alot like that lady with the prawn suit in below zero

And I saw in the game play that her base has a leviathan head, then in her dialogue in Subnautica 1 she killed a leviathan

Are they the same character?

[placid beacon]

maida?

[lime grove]

Play the game and find out

[placid beacon]

are y’all taking about ||margrit||

[topaz whale]

Yeh marguerit

[placid beacon]

ok lol

i was like who tf is maida

[lime grove]

It's her name

[placid beacon]

alright buster

[topaz whale]

In Subnautica Maida Marguerit is this women who's with the degasi

[lime grove]

Spoilers

[topaz whale]

Idk she sounds so much like the one in BZ

[placid beacon]

there the same person

[topaz whale]

This is Subnautica 1

[topaz whale]

Ohh I knew it

[placid beacon]

just no one knows how she ||survived the virus||

[lime grove]

And spoilers still count even if it's in a different chat

[placid beacon]

alright bucko

[topaz whale]

I would assume people who have played bz have played the original

[lime grove]

Not all

[placid beacon]

fr

[placid beacon]

bro what

no mf goes imma play bz first not the subnautica

[topaz whale]

LMAO

[lime grove]

Just because most people played SN1 before bz doesn't mean you can stop using spoiler tags for SN1 in here

[placid beacon]

we are the only ones talking dawg

have you not played the first game 🤨

[lime grove]

People can still watch and not join the conversation

[placid beacon]

no one does that

[lime grove]

Mods do

[placid beacon]

i think the mods have played the game buster💀

[topaz whale]

Mods have deffo played both

[lime grove]

And they still use spoilers for SN1 in here

[placid beacon]

good for them

it’s 5am no one is up nor do they seem to care

[lime grove]

Time zones exist

[placid beacon]

alright buddy where’s the other ppl 💀

[lime grove]

Not active and focused on life outside of discord

[placid beacon]

funny how that works 💀💀💀

[sly dagger]

Spongebob dies in below zero

[placid beacon]

NO WAY 😨

[lime grove]

So you're assuming that every discord mod doesn't have a life

[topaz whale]

Patrick got kidnapped by the reefbacks in Sub1

[placid beacon]

☝️🤓

[topaz whale]

Bruh😭😭😭

[placid beacon]

keyboard worrier over here

[lime grove]

And what is that emoji supposed to change here?

[placid beacon]

no clue

[lime grove]

It changes nothing

[placid beacon]

and ranting about using spoilers does?

[topaz whale]

Ohh

Alr alr, y'all need to chill

[placid beacon]

alr alr

just a bit of fun mate

[lime grove]

So I can just spoiler the entire story of SN1 here because "most people that play bz played SN1"

That's your logic

[placid beacon]

the thing is

literally no one does that 💀

so that doesn’t really work buster

[placid beacon]

the big warning sign fr

[lime grove]

Ye and you're not supposed to chat about SN1 nor spoiler storyline and side story

[placid beacon]

@topaz whale w pfp ong

[topaz whale]

No but like, BZ is still linked with SN1 which would still tells Maida's background from SN1. If you're playing BZ you should know that Maida's history is heavily linked with SN1

[placid beacon]

it’s literally part of bz lore 💀

[lime grove]

Doesn't change the fact that you're spoiling story of SN1

[placid beacon]

yeah bro cuz new players care so much about the lore

[topaz whale]

broo that's like saying BZ is spoiling SN1

[placid beacon]

me looking for the bz and subnautica combined chat be like

[lime grove]

There is no chat

[topaz whale]

LMAOOO

[lime grove]

You talk about bz here and about SN1 in #subnautica-chat

[placid beacon]

ain’t that funny huh💀

[placid beacon]

bro what 💀

that’s for the first game mate 💀

[topaz whale]

We're gonna turn into a warper now, warping from on chat to another 💀💀

[lime grove]

What are you trying to say here

[placid beacon]

what are YOU trying to say here

[lime grove]

Are you trying to say that SN1 is now the fifth game in the franchise?

[placid beacon]

bro what 💀

[lime grove]

Cause SN1 is the first game

[placid beacon]

@topaz whale you seening this?

[placid beacon]

really now 💀

[placid beacon]

nah bro he actually switched chats

[lime grove]

If you couldn't bother to read the chat description

There is no chat like that

[placid beacon]

really now 💀

[lime grove]

You either use #subnautica-chat for subnautica or this for below zero

[placid beacon]

bro the games are linked

[placid beacon]

you ain’t even a mod you are straight up keyboard warrioring rn

[lime grove]

Me not being a mod doesn't change anything

[topaz whale]

You can't really avoid getting SN1 spoilers cause BZ still spoils it to you anyways

[lime grove]

There are different chats for subnautica amd below zero for a reason

[placid beacon]

THERE LINKED

[topaz whale]

Yeh but I'm talking about Maida

[lime grove]

Doesn't mean you can chat about both in bz chat

[glass pawn]

Hello Tom ²

[placid beacon]

so what’s makes it different if we use the other one?

[lime grove]

Hello

[topaz whale]

Mods should make an all Subnautica channel, where you can spoil and talk about both game

[placid beacon]

great idea

get this man a medal

[lime grove]

Mods don't make the rules nor chats

[placid beacon]

your not a mod how do you know?

[lime grove]

Maybe read the #rules ?

[topaz whale]

The server manager then, jeez what are you trying to prove

[lime grove]

Does it say anywhere they are making the rules and chats?

[topaz whale]

But like in tired of putting spoilers in every chat and when I accidentally sent one y'all will came attacking

[placid beacon]

bro why would they have to state that

[lime grove]

Spoilers are there for a reason

[topaz whale]

But when I accidentally sent one?

[placid beacon]

reefbacks aren’t in bz

[lime grove]

If you accidentally sent a spoiler you can just mark it as one

[placid beacon]

sorry i didn’t put the spoiler thing

[lime grove]

But if you purposely sent an end game spoiler without any spoiler tags you're gonna get warned

[placid beacon]

bro he didn’t even send an end game spoiler

[lime grove]

Did I even mention him?

[placid beacon]

☝️🤓

bro forgot why he was even being a keyboard warrior

that’s not nice i’m sorry for my actions

[lime grove]

I see that you're now desperate to make me leave you alone

But I won't

[placid beacon]

i’m not desperate for anything bucko

i’ll argue all day

[lime grove]

I wanna see you do that

[topaz whale]

Bro what are you trying to prove? You can just go away and get a life

[placid beacon]

TRUE

[topaz whale]

You argue too much

[lime grove]

Do I even care?

[placid beacon]

like bro stop trying to be a hero about something no one is going to see

[placid beacon]

☝️🤓

[lime grove]

This is a public chat

So don't act like you can post both subnautica and bz related things here

[placid beacon]

alright bro it was one spoiler chill

it wasn’t even that big and 95% of the ppl here have beaten both games

[bold monolith]

Don't be rude please.

[lime grove]

Mkay

[placid beacon]

sorry

[topaz whale]

Alr

[placid beacon]

yes sir 🫡

[bold monolith]

I think it's difficult to not mention the first game with ||Marguerit|| or ||the Kharaa||. But they're right when they said not everyone played the first game.

[placid beacon]

i don’t believe that

[bold monolith]

Now please stay on topic.

[placid beacon]

it’s his fault 🥶

[lime grove]

My fault for what now? Pointing out something that is real?

[placid beacon]

bro what

“that is real”

yeah sure whatever makes you happy ig idk

[lime grove]

I mentioned that not everyone played the first game but played bz

[topaz whale]

That's like not mentioning 4546B because it's in the SN1, but I get where you're going, it's alr

[placid beacon]

yeah

[placid beacon]

i’m done with this conv

[topaz whale]

LMAO

[placid beacon]

my wheel chair 😡

[vast idol]

(spoiler) I never knew you could grow these

I am not sure of this is intenional or not but if you are interacting with the pda underwater you loose water temp

[placid beacon]

you put the word spoiler into your spoiler image

w fr

[bold monolith]

The temperature decreases if you are static.

PDA or not.

[vast idol]

I didn't know that

I thought you only loose temperature when you surface

[vast idol]

Just to be safe -3-

[placid beacon]

ig lol

[vast idol]

Hey, does sitting on a chair reduce hunger and thirst?

[bold monolith]

Your stats should be frozen.

[placid beacon]

hey @bold monolith is promotion allowed in the server

[bold monolith]

No.

[vast idol]

If you mean promotion of other thingies like Discord or non-belownatural games then no

[placid beacon]

some guys promoting a server thing in off topic

[whole vector]

do you know where I can find prawn suit fragments? I found 3 in the mine

[unkempt scroll]

There should be more than 3 in the mine.

[keen timber]

anyone have a bz void base

[steel stream]

Spoilered in case someone wants to search themselves ||koppa mine should have 4 or 5, mercury 2 bow has 2 or 3, outpost zero has 1 and phi excavation site has 1||

[whole vector]

thx I'll check those

[chrome cedar]

||Zero has 2, not sure if the count for Koppa is correct. But Koppa does have the drill fragments.||

[potent hawk]

Where is a good place to farm magnetite? I cleaned out the eye -jelly caves

[lime grove]

wrong chat

the what now

[potent hawk]

The caves with the eye jelly's & their babies

https://tenor.com/view/squishy-dory-come-here-gif-12955995

[eternal garnet]

inside ice bergs, in most pengling caves, and deep lilypads, crystal caves

[potent hawk]

Thank you!

[carmine bobcat]

Gonna buy below zero now! Just beat the first game so-

[potent hawk]

Congrats & enjoy!!

[carmine bobcat]

Will do!

[sacred jungle]

HOPE YOU LIKE IT

[potent hawk]

Topic for discussion 🙂 what is your favorite/go to energy provider?

[left swallow]

I kidnap penglings

[viral isle]

My favorite energy source puts 4546B at risk of its own Godzilla

[tacit thorn]

If you have og on steam, get the subnautica bundle and you get a discount on the second game - better than buying it standalone. Steam deducts the games you already own from the package, so you only ppay for BZ

[wintry void]

Can you put glow whales in a bioreactor

[viral isle]

That’s a terrifying idea but I think so

[potent hawk]

It'll be a tight fit but with most things like that you need a bit of spit and/or lubrication

(i'm not sure but I THINK so)

[tacit thorn]

whale is 4x4, reactor is 4x4, will fit.

[carmine bobcat]

Nah man. I'm on consolr

Also how do I get crystalline sulfur? I cant find any-

[tacit thorn]

explody fishes

[carmine bobcat]

It won't let me get it

Is it different from the first game?

[tacit thorn]

in the nest, after fishy leaves it.

[bold monolith]

Not the greatest idea. It is one of the worst fuel possible.

[carmine bobcat]

It won't let me grab it

[tacit thorn]

use grav ball

things sometimes (all the time) glitch into walls

[carmine bobcat]

Dont got one

[carmine bobcat]

I am officially confused on what to do

[potent hawk]

Explore, enjoy the surroundings, and things will present themselves

[carmine bobcat]

Where the heck is the distress signal- I've been looking for like 20 minutes

[tacit thorn]

explored the surface yet? plenty of things there

[carmine bobcat]

No

[potent hawk]

follow the alien tech blocks but be careful of you O2?

[true heron]

iirc theres a lot of sulfur in ||the island w the dock||

[carmine bobcat]

I have no clue where any of that is

Im playing this game completely blind so

[true heron]

what's ur current story objective rn

[carmine bobcat]

Where do I see that-

Hh

[cedar trail]

on ||delta island|| there is sulfur, jusr discovefef

[potent hawk]

If you're close enough to "hear" the distress call you should be able to see small green blocks that resemble alient tech

[true heron]

like whats the last thing you've been told to do / explore

oh the alien distress call?

[carmine bobcat]

I left that area because my inv was full

[potent hawk]

Yeah, you'll be back 🙂 it's not a RIGHT NOW thing

[true heron]

be sure to keep 3 inventory slots empty when u decide to go down there

[potent hawk]

I waited until I was pretty comfortable with my o2 before going there but i'm on hardcore so i'm skerd

[carmine bobcat]

Ooh. Just got the dock beacon

[true heron]

yeye in that island there's a bunch of sulfur

[carmine bobcat]

Oh good

[potent hawk]

anyone ever put up bulkhead doors?

[true heron]

i do it sometimes bc i hate the reinforcement plate things

[potent hawk]

Never have before but thinking of trying it out

[true heron]

I just realized I don't have bulkhead doors unlocked? I thought they just came w the fabricator

[carmine bobcat]

Im trespassing now. My favourite passtime activity

I found an ion cube on the island

The little penglings are so cute

Cant wait to shove them in a bioreactor keep them in my base

[true heron]

theres an ion cube in the island??

[lime grove]

yes

[potent hawk]

yes there are

I really wish you could manipulate the holo in the scanner room I want to see the cave system but I cannot duck down

[chrome cedar]

You have to scan one at one of the bases.

And the rooms. And everything else. LOL

[true heron]

does the seatruck dock auto repair modules?

I rammed one a little too hard trying to attatch it 💀

[chrome cedar]

No, only the truck itself. The rest require the repair tool from the outside.

[true heron]

alr ty

[chrome cedar]

The status when you drive the truck will show up to I think 5 modules, and the yellow bar is their health.

[tacit thorn]

they pretty, dividing base into sections.

[chrome cedar]

I think I used them a total of once on a base. I just didn't like the look of it, and never closed it. I'm always running back and forth between base areas when I'm 'home'.

[carmine bobcat]

Where sea truck fragment

[tacit thorn]

in the trenches obv

[chrome cedar]

The truck itself? ||Twisty Bridges.||

[steel stream]

Also around delta island

[carmine bobcat]

Whats the thermos used for-

[tacit thorn]

Dissapointment

Usage instruction:
Build coffe machine.
Insert thermos.
Pre-charge disapointment.
Take the thermos out after beep.

[vestal sparrow]

hey fellas

why in the world are thermos dehydrating

isn't it the same as coffee from the first game

[tacit thorn]

Nope, this one is made from dissapointment™️ coffe beans.

[carmine bobcat]

dirty bean water

[sacred jungle]

Good plan

[glass pawn]

Why doesn't bz have the ||khaara||

[carmine bobcat]

it does

have you even played BZ?

or paid attention to its story

a part of the story is literally ||curing a frozen creature of its massive khaara infection by finding the cure||

[tacit thorn]

How long does it take for rocket puncher egg to hatch after defrosting?

[carmine bobcat]

find out

[zinc void]

Hello, is there any way I can make my base have lights off?

While still maintaining energy

[carmine bobcat]

I feel like copper rates are different in this game

I have more copper than titanium.

[tacit thorn]

control room allows to turn off rooms

[zinc void]

I have heard enough and I'm satisfied

[tacit thorn]

if you wish to 'hear' things, install some speakers and jukebox in base

[zinc void]

omg

[zinc void]

Yeah that's what I want lmao

[tacit thorn]

there is a special folder in mydocuments where you can put music and jukebox will pick it up

[zinc void]

ye ye

[tacit thorn]

suggested music: "under pressure - encanto", " under the sea - little mermaid", any moana song.

and a workers song for trucking

[zinc void]

yeah uhh....

I might've done something wrong

[tacit thorn]

[adjusts the hat]
Do tell.

[eternal garnet]

there is of course a speaker in the jukebox also

[zinc void]

HMMM

I wanna make my base somewhere else

Everything is alright

[whole vector]

do you know how to get into deep lilypads cave?

[eternal garnet]

from above, where the huge rock is floating

it's above the body cache icon, if you have it

[viral isle]

Question- will captive bred carnivores go after vehicles like in SB?

[zinc void]

let's go

[cedar trail]

beautiful

[viral isle]

Because I definitely don’t want to end up accidentally ramming my captive-released cryptosuchuses when I run by the delta station vents because they’re dinguses and run infront of the vehicle :,))) [I don’t have perimeter defense yet]

[hard meteor]

just beat below zero lets goooo

[cedar trail]

Nice, I need to play a lot more

[hard meteor]

game was a W

[cedar trail]

yes, I really like it so far, you can still build bases and much more

[eternal garnet]

[true heron]

the one with the cotton anemone things?

[whole vector]

yea

[true heron]

im not sure if there's a specific trench in the lilypad biome that takes you there or if they all do, but i believe it's not the one that takes you to ||marguerit's seabase||

[whole vector]

okay I'll check

thx

found it

[carmine bobcat]

What modules can I get for the sea truck?

Anyone?

[chrome cedar]

Storage and fabricator are most useful, docking after that.

[viral isle]

Sleeper module, you get sea-trucker tunes

[chrome cedar]

That’s mostly cosmetic, but yeah.

Aquarium module will collect fish as you pass by them, kinda neat.

What I really wish we had was a thruster module for even more power when hauling a bunch of modules. I usually have 4 storage, a fabricator, and a docking module.

[true heron]

what am I supposed to do after ||visiting marg at the greenhouse?||

[loud meteor]

im pretty sure u can go back to her base and the snow stalker would of moved

[true heron]

oh yeah, there's another room it was blocking

[loud meteor]

idk if im right tho

just go check it aint exactly hard to get to her

[loud meteor]

i just checked and it does move

[eternal garnet]

Notice you have the recipe for best food in game. By far. you have clues to where Sam died. But this ends the maida storyline

[chrome cedar]

But the legend lives on…

[ember blade]

any tips for dealing with warpers?

[placid beacon]

this is bz chat

[unkempt otter]

Swim in circles around them and they can't hit you @ember blade

[ember blade]

oh, idk why im in the bz chat

sorry!

[unkempt otter]

So anyways what's an optimal ratio of penglings to sea monkey eggs in a bioreactor

[viral isle]

Question: ||Al-An referred to ball and socket joints as “primitive”, which implies the architects have some other way of moving their limbs. How could they walk or move without the flexibility provided by joints? Is their skeleton just flexible like a bendy straw or smth and the bones just contort with the body motions?||

Lore thing btw ^

[potent hawk]

What cool things /rooms do you put in your base?

I have a bedroom, office, aquarium/containment, garden, and supply room

[unkempt otter]

I have storage, crafting, reactor, and docking rooms. I don't really have any decorations or mock bedrooms/offices in mine like some people do. Generally if it doesn't serve some purpose I won't build it.

[unkempt otter]

||They could use magnetism to attach and move limbs or they could have joints more similar to crustaceans or insects and move their limbs with fluid pressure. Based on what we saw with their technology it could also be assumed that they also have more compact gravity manipulation devices than humanity does.||

[jagged flame]

Anyone know why we are not able to share screens in vc

[crystal yarrow]

should i get below zero? why or why not?

[jagged flame]

It has more content than the original game. It provides more detail to the story and has a lot more areas to explore.

All i have

[crystal yarrow]

most people said its smaller

[jagged flame]

Thats because there is only 2 vehicles that probably why they think that.

Actually just looked up average time for both games

subnautica is just 45 hours for main story

and BZ is 20

it is small

dang ive been lied to

[true heron]

It's smaller but there's a lottt more dialogue and worldbuilding

[unkempt otter]

big fish

[uneven hare]

I have 3 thermal generators each sitting in a 251 degree environment yet my base power income is only +0.84. I have used power transmittors to ensure that they reach my base and I have checked as well, there is a line coming from the transmitter directly into one of the rooms of my base. Is this a bug?

[vast idol]

Power transmission wire doesnt have collision

[uneven hare]

wdym

[steel stream]

Does your base show 750 power or only 250 (+ whatever you may have from other power sources)?

[uneven hare]

It only has +0.84 income and around -0.2 outgoing

[bold monolith]

Not a bug.

[uneven hare]

Why is it producing such little power then being in such a hot environment?

[steel stream]

That's not what I asked though

[uneven hare]

wdym 750 power

[bold monolith]

Because your needs don't require them to be drained at the same time.

[steel stream]

250 for each thermal, just wanted to make sure you have all 3 connected to base

[uneven hare]

each thermal is 251 degrees celcius

[uneven hare]

I'm having to fuel the bioreactors because im losing power

[steel stream]

But Ignis knows this stuff better than me...

[bold monolith]

Your question is legitimate, because at best a thermal plant input should be 1.65 / sec. So they are not used.

But at the same time, if they connect or not, the ratio is normal.

[uneven hare]

so i have extra power?

[bold monolith]

Only your bioreactor is drained right now, and it's the normal behavior.

Your thermal plants will only be drained if the bioreactor is fully drained.

That's how it works.

[uneven hare]

should i let the bioreactors drain then?

[bold monolith]

When you build them, they charge their batteries. When their batteries is full, only one reactor will be drained. When this reactor is fully drained, another one will be drained and add to the input ratio, etc.

So basically you'll lose power, but if you use multiple reactors at the same time they will stabilize.

[uneven hare]

so if i do nothing

everything will work

[bold monolith]

You can't choose the order, it's arbitrary on load.

Unless you use a mod.

So sometimes the bioreactor will be drained first, sometimes it will be one of your thermal plant.

Mika's question still stands. If you look at the power on the top of your screen you can make sure they reach your base.

If they do, you shouldn't worry about the power ratio. Because since you only use 0.2 / sec, it's already an overkill to have that many reactors.

But at the same time, maybe you don't charge anything right now and you will in the future.

The bioreactor is 0.83 / sec, the thermal plant is 1.65 / sec when they are at 100+°C, so it's 5.78 / sec max. And you only use 0.2.

[midnight orbit]

I like bZ

[plain veldt]

Yo should I get below zero

[zinc void]

life in Subnautica got easier

[zinc void]

My god this map is huge!

[bold monolith]

And you don't even have the range upgrades yet.

As 300 is the default and it goes up to 500.

[supple mesa]

Can I put 2 drill arms on at once?

[steel stream]

Yes, and it will drill resources faster if you use both at the same time

[supple mesa]

Ah cool, thank you

[zinc void]

This map...

[uncut raptor]

craft one

smartypants

having all that fabricator talk in #subnautica-chat while not even knowing how to operate one

[blissful stump]

Ok so im not going mad right

||Sea Emperors|| used to be in below zero right? Just wondering around?

How did you make a scanner in the first place?
Do it again

Yeah ive just looked and apparently they were part of an old storyline, but it was scrapped and they were removed
Sad
That would've been amazing to see

Its easy to tell where you are in the game by going above the surface, the icea on the north and north east goes up so you can see where the twisty bridges are

Yee
Its a real shame

Wait just use your drop pods waypoint to get home

Are you playing BZ or the first game??

What biome are you in..?

Ohhh youre in tree spires
Well thats not good
Did you get there in a seatruck or just by swimming?

[lime grove]

ventgarden

[blissful stump]

Chelicarates are pretty dumb so if you try and stay away from it then it should stay away

[zinc void]

I killed this darn leviathan

[blissful stump]

Make sure you keep an eye on its position but you should be able to go around it

[bold monolith]

They should have kept one ||sea emperor||, it would have made more sense that the current antidote. But I guess they wanted some use for the spy pengling.

[blissful stump]

Oh yeah for sure

[lime grove]

i mean they could've connected them both

[blissful stump]

Oh ans whilst youre there go into tje vent gardens and collecy some of the plants, they're very useful and only spawn there ;)
And another location but thats besides the poiny

[zinc void]

goddamn!

[lime grove]

shrimp

[blissful stump]

How did you kill it??

[zinc void]

it's as shrimple as that

[blissful stump]

Next step is the ||ice worm|| >:)

[zinc void]

he is rotting here now

[blissful stump]

Oh god im dreading seeing that thinh

Im. In the process of making a base before the bridge and getting prepared
But ive been in the first part to get the ||thumper||

And ive heard it
Not seen it
shiver

[zinc void]

I used suit drill arm and grappling arm

[blissful stump]

Oh really?? I thought the drill did like no damage lmao
Good job!

[zinc void]

though, make sure to have repair tool with yourself, very important thing

[zinc void]

Thank you! This is the first time I kill such leviathan in Below Zero

[blissful stump]

Yeah lollll

[zinc void]

It just disappeared...

[blissful stump]

Chelicarates are dumb but they're a threat in your prawn
But i mean they still do the damage of a shrimp

[zinc void]

what the hellllll

[blissful stump]

Yeah they respawn, but i think it just cleared the corpes to stop lag

Oh i was wrong

They dont respawn

Huh

So its just gone now lmao
Purple vents are now safe for you :)

[bold monolith]

We don't say that around here.

We say "Purple Vents became boring for you".

[zinc void]

heh

[zinc void]

"unless a major update happens to the game."

I doubt

there's gonna be a new update

[blissful stump]

Yeah lol

It needs a bunch of changes i think

Pretty minor ones but still

[blissful stump]

Lmaoo
Purple vents is one of my favourite biomes

Next to Lillypad Islands, thats the best biome in the game.

Not taking and objections

[unkempt otter]

where are lead and lithium veins found in below zero? need a ton of lead/lithium for a base build.

[bold monolith]

You have lithium "veins", but no lead. Lead can't be found in drillable node either.

[unkempt otter]

meant drillable node yeah. thats kind of annoying about the lead tho.

[bold monolith]

You have to look for galena outcrops.

In Twisty Bridges especially.

Lithium in purple vents, Tree Spires, Arctic Spires.

No drillable either.

[pseudo canopy]

yo

i just finished below zero

the reason it took me so long was because i didnt realise you had to cure the frozen leviathan, so i just hung around doing nothing for hours

but yeah no that ending was definitely not what i expected

[bold monolith]

What you said is actually optional.

[bold monolith]

You can finish the game without it.

[pseudo canopy]

oh

[bold monolith]

It's still better storywise.

[pseudo canopy]

i was so convinced there would be more than 1 ending though, one where you go into the portal with the antitode, and one without

would be cool if there was

[bold monolith]

It adds a few lines.

[pseudo canopy]

so it does change it a bit?

ight brb

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[pseudo canopy]

going back there rn

my farm finally turned out to be useful for something :D

[pseudo canopy]

i bought the antitode solutions with me and i found they didn't change anything, perhaps it's becaues i bought two?

[bold monolith]

It adds a few lines to the ending if you ||cure the frozen leviathan||, instead of leaving it in this state, because it resolves the sister's storyline.

[pseudo canopy]

Oh, I understand now, thank you :)))

[loud meteor]

Just finished my new base

[potent hawk]

How many solar panels does it take to sustain a scanner room?

[loud meteor]

Not a lot I don't think

[loud meteor]

Just get abt 5 and u might be ok

[bold monolith]

It's a tricky question.

[potent hawk]

Fair enough. I'm trying to build spread out scanning outposts with just a scanner room

[bold monolith]

The efficiency of a solar panel is difficult to assess, because it depends on a sun scalar which depends on a parameter in the water volume and the depth.

But one should be enough.

[potent hawk]

It's at 58m and I built 2 panels so i'll call it good 🙂

thank you

[loud meteor]

Is the purple vents biome anywhere near the void?

[carmine bobcat]

So uh. I have collected enough penglings for 5 aquariums

[unkempt scroll]

Now let them go!

[blissful stump]

arctic spires is now my least favourite biome

i hate this place
this is the first time ive ever been scared on land in this game

is it wise to ever run in this biome? does that affect anything?

[unkempt scroll]

Wait really you only hate ut bc it scares you?

[blissful stump]

i dont know what im expecting, idk what to do about it

do i just drive away? where do i go? when will it stop chasing me? how does the thumper work?

[unkempt scroll]

Oh it wont stop chasing you. Thats not even a creature/s thats an event.

And it will not stop happening.

[blissful stump]

what

how do i do anything????
scan or get materials or explore structures????

[unkempt scroll]

You hears me. They cant really ve classified as an NPC. You cant even scan them

[blissful stump]

this game is having a laugh if it thinks im using this spy pengling thing ive just found

[unkempt scroll]

Also Im pretty sure you still can get materials and explore structures.

[unkempt scroll]

You have to use it at least once to progress with the story.

[keen timber]

does thumper just distract them

[blissful stump]

since my hoverbike... hovers
does that attract it?

[blissful stump]

whatttt

[unkempt scroll]

Dont worry progressing with the story is optional in this game lol(what a joke)

[loud meteor]

Yes

[loud meteor]

Yes snow fox still attracts them

But all I used was a prawn suit and walked along

I just grappled on the spires for more movement

[blissful stump]

it is??

[unkempt scroll]

Yes.

[blissful stump]

how does that work lmao whats even the point of the snowfox then?
i thought it didnt attract noise and thats why it is used
why not just use a prawn which is also 10x less glitchy lol

[blissful stump]

oh lmao how weird

[loud meteor]

Snowfox is hella fast
And can jump

[blissful stump]

thats true yeah

[unkempt scroll]

Prawn Suit is also hella fast

And can jump

[blissful stump]

ive seen the clips
ive seen the 1 snow stalker thats stood there and gets nommed
and i see it right in front of me :]

[unkempt scroll]

And iceworma cant teleport you out of it.

[blissful stump]

it does that?
ohhh so thats why i was kicked off
i thought i panic mashed and pressed e lol

[carmine bobcat]

10 hour below zero game crashed on me. Turns out I didn't save once.

[unkempt scroll]

No Iceworms programmed to do that.

Because they are worst leviathan in the game and it would be tooeasy for you to avoid them if they did not kick you out from your vehicle.

[blissful stump]

what is it even doing

[blissful stump]

thats true
god I hate this biome

this is worse than the Dunes

do i go up to it???? is the animation going to play??

[loud meteor]

He ran away smh

[blissful stump]

wimp 🙄

[loud meteor]

I actually got close to the greenhouse he pulled me that much

[blissful stump]

i just heard the rumbling
i went up the hill
i hear the rumbling
im such a wimp

[blissful stump]

lmao

[unkempt scroll]

Ur saying it like there is something bad about dunes.

Fine biome.

[blissful stump]

8 REAPERS
how is that a fine biome
lmaoo

im preparing myself to unpause

it burst literally 2 metres behind me
im now riding away fast

[unkempt scroll]

It has 8 reapers.

[blissful stump]

oh this is horrible it almost destroyed my snowfox

[unkempt scroll]

You said it yourself.

[blissful stump]

it was so cool tho lol

[blissful stump]

theyre the most horrifying thing in this gameeee

[unkempt scroll]

Rrapers are not iceworms. They do their job well.

Or at least good enough.

[unkempt scroll]

Well now thats subjective and does not make them bad even if it was not.

[blissful stump]

:(

[hollow fulcrum]

Hey Subnautica BZ community do leviathans respawn

[unkempt scroll]

Still dont dont kill them.

[hollow fulcrum]

Do they

[blissful stump]

only the first games

chelicerates, ||shadows|| do not

[unkempt scroll]

Leviathans do not respawn in first game too.

[blissful stump]

Oh they dont?

Oh i swear they did
Or used to

[unkempt scroll]

They never did.

[loud meteor]

They only respawn if a major update happens

[unkempt scroll]

Lmao. Major update for SN. Very funny.

[loud meteor]

Ig 2.0 was the most recent one

[loud meteor]

Ye

[lime grove]

Leviathans don't respawn

[loud meteor]

Oh my bad read it wrong

Once they die only a major upd will revive them

[deep kettle]

Major updates don't necessarily respawn leviathans either. It completely depends on what the developers change. A small update could theoretically even respawn all of them, or maybe only a handful. I assume that "myth" started existing because it's more likely to happen during big updates I suppose.

[zinc void]

[vestal sparrow]

why are there so many ||thermal plant fragments|| in an area

it only requires 2 yet there are like 12

[bold monolith]

There are always more fragments than needed to make sure you scan them without having to turn every stone.

[vestal sparrow]

ik that but this was overkill

same with seatruck fragments

i think subnautica did it better in terms of spacing fragments out forcing you to cover multiple different locations

[bold monolith]

I would agree.

[deep kettle]

For the small price of a couple million dollars I will gladly help UWE with Below Zero 😄

Then I'll make sure to fix the fragments XD

[unkempt linden]

do you guys actually use the snowfox?

[eternal garnet]

yes, it's fun to drive, and keeps you warm

[deep kettle]

I didn't really use it much after I got the prawn / warmsuit honestly. The controls are so clunky. I still prefer it over just walking though.

[unkempt linden]

i think the prawn suit is funnier also i keep crashing my snowfox

[chrome cedar]

It is fun and a nice to have. Necessary? No.

[eternal garnet]

There's an achievment for building it.

[chrome cedar]

True.

[unkempt linden]

i built it and broke it because the prawn suit is better

[eternal garnet]

seems criminal in some way

[unkempt linden]

no its the only rtight thing to do

[chrome cedar]

It can break if you bounce it too hard.

[unkempt linden]

that happened and thats why i use the prawn suit

[chrome cedar]

Not as speedy, but reliable.

[unkempt linden]

it goes up to 30 speed

[eternal garnet]

Should you play BZ? Yes.

[surreal citrus]

No

[eternal garnet]

Just don't expect subnautica 2

[surreal citrus]

it’s booty

[chrome cedar]

I like it better...

[sharp topaz]

.

[vestal sparrow]

the game is a lot of fun but not as good as the first

i maxed out my seatruck with ||ion cells|| and still have no idea what im doing regarding the story

i just dont really care about the characters

[chrome cedar]

The story just guides you on places to explore, it can be ignored or followed.

[vestal sparrow]

eh subnautica BZ i'd argue has enough content and gameplay in terms of hours to be enough of a game itself

the map is still fairly large

[eternal garnet]

yes, it's fully standalone. But some people complain, no lost river, no cyclops. I say DUH.

[vestal sparrow]

cyclops wouldn't really work with the terrain so i get it

[chrome cedar]

Exactly.

A long sea truck is a tight squeeze in places...

[violet mantle]

I wouldn't in vanilla but i have a mod that gives it a built in locker (and another to make it bigger)

[vestal sparrow]

yah so u get the prawn dock for it

[unkempt linden]

at what rate do you getthe artifact locations?

[chrome cedar]

It's slow and most won't have beacons. That's the exploring part of the game.

[zinc void]

Tundra Void..

[vestal sparrow]

wait are ion cells considered mid game

[chrome cedar]

Don't fall off the edge...

[unkempt linden]

i went everwhere but i always end up in the dead zone

[chrome cedar]

Mid game is relative, I think you have to scan 4 alien artifacts to unlock that.

[violet mantle]

At least there is a build in seatruck mod that helps, adding wall lockers to the fabber module makes it much more useful and adding 4x wall planters for marblemelons is nice as well.

[vestal sparrow]

ah

[unkempt linden]

6

[vestal sparrow]

i think I still have ways to go

I actually really like that the ion cells are much easier to obtain than the original subnautica

[violet mantle]

Ion cells are 6, recyclotron are 4, ender chest is 2

[vestal sparrow]

oh damn i forgot about ender chest

[carmine bobcat]

ender chest?

[unkempt linden]

i knda dont like the progression in this game i have everything but i cant keep going with the story

[chrome cedar]

What are you missing for the story?

[vestal sparrow]

i wish the story would help boost progression

[violet mantle]

Quantum locker = ender chest.

[vestal sparrow]

how big is quantum locker?

[carmine bobcat]

ah

[unkempt linden]

i dont know ive never been spilered ||th last thin i saw was the frozen leviathan || but i only got there on accident

[violet mantle]

16 slots, i think, but you can carry it in your inventory.

[chrome cedar]

It holds 16 spots of inventory, but the locker itself takes up 4 spaces. So 12 bonus spaces.

[vestal sparrow]

the story itself is much more linear in the original subnautica which i like

[chrome cedar]

True, but we have three parallel stories going.

[unkempt linden]

3?

[potent hawk]

i cannot for the life of me think of any purpose of the aquarium module and i'm debating on the fabricator module since I don't plan to have a mobile base

[vestal sparrow]

i hope subnautica 2 continues with the mute protagonist i loved him

[potent hawk]

Def want the sleeper for the music 😄

[violet mantle]

Neither are really worth it in vanilla.

[vestal sparrow]

oops thats a spoiler

[chrome cedar]

The Aquarium module is nice if you're working on collecting sea life for your aquarium. By that point in the game you're probably crafting enough food that you don't need to rely on fish for food. Fabricator is very handy on resource collection runs to condense things down to take less room, assuming you have a recyclatron at your base to expand things back out.

[potent hawk]

I cannot think of any major value of the fab either.

[chrome cedar]

I use mine almost constantly...

[violet mantle]

Well i have the fish scoop, moreingots, basekits, and build in seatruck mods and have added a base kit fabber and 4x wall lockers to my module so I use it quite a bit. But for vanilla/unmodded bz i think you are right.

[potent hawk]

I think it's just not useful in my personal style of play. Not saying it's useless for everyone

[zinc void]

I didn't

I hope Subnautica Below Zero gets minor updates, such as updating this Wall planter visual bug

[vestal sparrow]

vanilla is very nice too

games like terraria I play calamity mod and never go back to vanilla

[next current]

The ability to be able to craft anything almost anywhere is pretty powerful.

[vestal sparrow]

which drains power pretty fast

[bold monolith]

A bug like that won't be fixed even if an update was planned. It's so low in priority that the probability for it to be fixed would be close to zero.

[next current]

You don't make spare power cells? They're really cheap and just one takes up a 1×1 slot.

[ember blade]

how long is an average below zero playthrough?

[bold monolith]

https://howlongtobeat.com/game/64768

[ember blade]

cool website

[bold monolith]

It is usually accurate.

[chrome cedar]

Depends greatly on how fancy you decide to go on your base.

[viral isle]

Isn’t the fabricator module the only way to get seatruck upgrades?

[chrome cedar]

Any fabricator will do them.

[ember blade]

does the seatruck have storage?

[viscid flame]

Hi guys i got below zero just today, i havent played it yet and i was wondering if i could just chill in a call, stream it to someone and talk about the game, if they could teach me or something idk

[chrome cedar]

It has a storage module. Separate piece.

[ember blade]

ah ok

[bold monolith]

You can't stream here you would have to call in DM. Or use a streaming website.

[ember blade]

i literally just finished the first game, and am unsure of if i should get the second

does it work well with controller?

[chrome cedar]

Works great

[ember blade]

rlly?, rotation doesn't suck?

[chrome cedar]

Rotation?

[ember blade]

of camera

[eternal garnet]

I was closer to 45h, 65 for subnautica

[ember blade]

i did it in 21h, idk how

[chrome cedar]

I’ve had no controller or camera issues. PS4 and Steam.

[unkempt otter]

just finished upgrading my prawn suit

[chrome cedar]

I did the main story in about 5 hours after my first playthrough.

[zinc void]

this fish is swimming in my base lol

[tacit thorn]

Aquarium is just flavor or emergency food store.
Fabricator has a small locker, for all your tools (I keep gravball, laser cutter, fixer tool, one emergency water/food ration, a beacon, scanner, all that things you may need on other edge of map)
It also allows you to 'compress' materials for transport. 1 titanium bar takes five times less space than 5 titanium ore. quartz-> glass, copper -> wire etc. Later in the game you get ||decompressor box that allows you to break them back into ore||
Oh, and its your portable kitchen of course!
How are you going to cook that fishes otherwise?

[potent hawk]

Fair enough!

[eternal garnet]

the box is named ||recyclotron||

[tacit thorn]

Fabricator = very long trips. As long as you have energy left, you can make food, water and air.

and if you find some copper, acidic plants and rubber, you can make more energy too.

[zinc void]

spooky tundra void

[zinc void]

where's the edge though

Uhhh......

[acoustic tundra]

Below zero story is pretty easy to follow along tbh

[eternal garnet]

The prawn lets you go out of bounds pretty easy

[tacit thorn]

remind me - if I breed an egg laying fauna, does it spawn egg in the containment unit, or creates a new tiny copy right away?

[zinc void]

Opinion on this screenshot?

[ember blade]

fov is too much

[eternal garnet]

Illegal contraband!
But kinda cute

[ember blade]

causes warping

[tacit thorn]

fov looks wrong

[zinc void]

It's called Pro Quake gamer for a reason

[ember blade]

other than that i love it

[unkempt otter]

this thing bit me. guess who's going into orbit.

[ember blade]

lower it to a super low value and step back a lot, it'll look a ton better

[zinc void]

this is looking uncanny...

[potent hawk]

Can you kill these evil things?

[tacit thorn]

if you surface, you can yoink them pretty far. jellyfish has fun looks when they slide on the ground

[zinc void]

why is the lighting wrong here

oh right.. wall

[eternal garnet]

No. Well someone said they might go away if you build on top of it

[zinc void]

Nah they really had to build a wall just like between US and Mexico

[potent hawk]

Thank you!

[tacit thorn]

they are unkillable. Believe me, I tried.
You can try building foundation on top. 0% built blocks them from attacking

[tacit thorn]

obviously you are going to make foundation stairs to climb it, yes?

[zinc void]

Nope I tried

[zinc void]

I didn't bring resources

Okay I got here...

[eternal garnet]

map is basically undefined out here

[zinc void]

map says I'm nowhere

yeah you're right

[zinc void]

What did one guy mean by saying "don't fall off the edge"?

there's no edge besides wall here

[unkempt otter]

working on a new base right now. not sure if i want to wall off part of the large room for a reactor or make it it's own compartment.

[eternal garnet]

FYI, there is a bug with the large room, if you have any ghosts (the blue outlines) it will refuse to build stuff

[unkempt otter]

yeah i noticed that

put a ghost for the glass roof on it and couldnt build more foundations

[tacit thorn]

isn't that working as expected tho? Game by default blocks building if part of base is unfinished.

[eternal garnet]

not with multipurpose room etc

[tacit thorn]

Do you intend to bring in and store lots of resources? If yes, connect the truck dock directly to large room for shorter walking distance to lockers. Moonpool too, if you plan on lot of prawn expeditions.

[zinc void]

And I fell down here damnit

oh no

[bold monolith]

It depends on the base part and it's by design, it isn't a bug. I remember Slava wrote a comment about it but I don't remember on which ticket.

[tacit thorn]

Citing GTA 3 ramp - you are not supposed to be here

[zinc void]

I'm doomed

I'm stuck between Tundra and Water Void

death is imminent

[potent hawk]

Can anyone think of any reason to build anything in the deep lillys? I'm gonna plant the stuff I harvested so I might never return but not sure

[zinc void]

screw it, I'm reloading

I fell into the edge

[tacit thorn]

Scanner room at bottom of the cork, to stripmine all the cave, then put a beacon and never return again?

[potent hawk]

I was thinking that but i'm loading up on nickle & mag while i'm here so I probably won't need more. I brought my prawn, my seaktruck with storage

I don't think it's worth it but I thought i'd ask in case I was overlooking something

[unkempt otter]

reactors up. I can now make and label storage and move stuff over from my temporary base.

[zinc void]

Tundra Void corner

[potent hawk]

I love your glass ceiling. I'm about to convert all my tubes to glass and add those ceilings too

[tacit thorn]

That looks actually nice. add some water desalters?

[tacit thorn]

you are going to need a lot of reinforcements

[unkempt otter]

gonna need a second large compartment for that. this ones taken up by the reactor, storage, and hall to the moonpool/seatruck dock and the hatch to the grow beds.

[unkempt otter]

foundations, bulkheads, and compartment partitions are your friend.

im built on 6 foundations that are also doubling as platforms for grow beds.

[tacit thorn]

wish the partitions reached up to glass ceiling tho

[potent hawk]

I have doors, platforms and reinforcements in my moonpool

[unkempt otter]

they technically do. if you look that glass cieling is like 4 feet thick and they reach the bottom of it.

[tacit thorn]

btw, if you add another large room on top, you can put an alien containment and grow kelp in it. needs to be double stacked in straight column tho

[zinc void]

Rate my screenshot

yeah i guess i'll stack a second compartment on top and have the glass cieling on that one.

[tacit thorn]

and move the reactor unce the rods are used up, yes?

[unkempt otter]

it only has one rod in it to give me enough power to work. how long do they take to run out?

[ember blade]

wait do i play as a woman or a not-woman?

[tacit thorn]

...a while

[zinc void]

uh....

guys? I think something is wrong

[tacit thorn]

In BZ, you are a gurl.

[ember blade]

yay!

[zinc void]

Oh my god!

[tacit thorn]

use the little spy robot to take selfies.

[zinc void]

OH GOD

OH MY

[tacit thorn]

what is that?

[zinc void]

what the hell just happened

I got shocked

this... void leviathan looked at me

and nearly got me before it literally flew away

I'm not joking, it just happened to me

[tacit thorn]

make a vid, hard to tell

[zinc void]

Yeah I am about to

hold on!

[steel stream]

It's very much dependent on how much power you are using...

[unkempt otter]

found the first victim of the pengling space program

[zinc void]

Damnit, when I started recording, the storm came in

[zinc void]

But I'm telling you, this just happened

Wait I think I got it

okay, it doesn't fly away now

[tacit thorn]

I can positively ID this as a void cheli, and there seems to be water table approx 100m below you

[zinc void]

Oh my god, I almost got a heart attack

I fell down but quickly did Unstuck option

WAIT, this thing is climbing towards me

[tacit thorn]

I recommend a quicksave mod for you

[zinc void]

dude it's CLIMBING!

[tacit thorn]

is there only one? should be three by now

[zinc void]

Nope, I only see one

what, you're telling me, that up to three spawn?!

[tacit thorn]

up to three, as long as you remain in the void zone

[zinc void]

It's trying but it doesn't seem to reach me

...

[tacit thorn]

Deer god, how I managed to miss this much?

[zinc void]

Maybe you just got a skill issue :D

jokes aside, when I got scanner room, I was also surprised to find out how I missed out on lots of resources.

Dude a lightning strike hit my prawn suit and it did nothing lmao

Got interesting footage

[potent hawk]

Does anyone use the snowfox at all insetad of just using the prawn suit?

[tacit thorn]

there are some people with weird kinks, yes

note: jumpjets stack and work on solid ground. not as good jumps as snowfox, but with grapple, can reach most places

[zinc void]

I didn't know there were two, this is the first time I ever see two

[tacit thorn]

Ok, I know I'm not supposed to be here, but neither is this room

[zinc void]

WAIT, there's three!

[violet mantle]

Yes, but i not only use a controller but have mods to add storage to the snowfox and make said storage bigger.

[tacit thorn]

crashfish nests dont respawn, do they?

[ember blade]

how do I use the mineral detectinator?

[crystal yarrow]

just beat subnautica, now its time for below zero

[crystal yarrow]

ive barely seen gameplay of below zero, so im basically going in blind unlike the first game

[tacit thorn]

put it in your hand, scroll to select scan type. it will beep when material of type is in range

[crystal yarrow]

i accidently went on hardcore, forgot oxygen was a thing, and died

[unkempt linden]

why is the prawn so op in bz?

[safe sun]

It's OP in both games

[unkempt linden]

its more op in below zero you dont even need the seatruck or snowfox

[ember blade]

is it possible to live in a seatruck?

[tacit thorn]

absolutely

[ember blade]

ok thats cool

[tacit thorn]

fabricator module for kitchen and sleeper module for bed, and youre all set.

[ember blade]

i wonder how i get modules

[tacit thorn]

while I do have several bases, I spend 90% of my time in seatruck and prawn

[unkempt linden]

i have one base where i keep my pet bob

[ember blade]

currently i just got back to base and alan is complaining to me about his lifestyle choices, but i currently have like, nothing to work towards

[unkempt linden]

yes i have the same problem i dont know what to do

[ember blade]

depth is 150??

ok yeah upgrade definitely

wai, where do i get diamonds?

[eternal garnet]

modules are rooms, you mean upgrades

[ember blade]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

diamonds, deep twisty bridges canyon, below 300m. Swim

[tacit thorn]

or the secret mine near island, just shy of 150m behind big gate

[ember blade]

secret mine??

[tacit thorn]

one of game story locations, so dont want to spoil it

[ember blade]

ah ok gotcha

what am i supposed to do after i make friends with alan, get diamonds?

[viral isle]

Yeah that checks out

[ember blade]

yeah, i took a break and got a salad and noticed "oh, thats why i got a salad"

[tacit thorn]

salad? you finished the crazy old lady questline already?

so, uh, managed to get my seatruck stuck inside an lemonstone outcrop.
or rather around it

70 seconds to figure out how to take it out of the cabin 🤣
can't enter the trucky

[crystal yarrow]

i already love the game

i found an ||old alterra habitat||

got 2 prawn suit pieces

[ember blade]

does the seatruck just get super long or can i add width too?

[eternal garnet]

you cannot

[tacit thorn]

it gets very long, and slows down with every module

[eternal garnet]

it slows down with module 3 and up

[tacit thorn]

not with 2nd module and up, if you dont have the engine power upgrade?

[ember blade]

does it become harder to traverse terrain with like 4 modules?

or not that much

[tacit thorn]

Mine has 7. Ok to swim in open spaces and wider caves.
I can get down to liypad cork cave mostly without bumping into things

[loud meteor]

it really doies

[ember blade]

so isn't the seatruck kinda trash then?

[eternal garnet]

No. The wiki is wrong here. They have an old version

[tacit thorn]

No, seatruck is awesome

[loud meteor]

it just fails on corners

[tacit thorn]

It can be your mobile base, sine chargers and decorations.
You can detach cabin for quick scouting duties.
You can bring your gundam along for a ride.

[ember blade]

ok detatching it on the go is pretty cool yeah

[tacit thorn]

Sometimes you have to jettison modules. Ask Ted Fred.

[ember blade]

ted, tell me the tale of when you had to jettison one because you made an oopsie poopsie

[tacit thorn]

[Fred tells a tale when he met a bigass sea monster then hid for hours between rocks with lights off, sweating through his shirt]

[ember blade]

lol

[loud meteor]

holy mother of idk ive detached the storage modules im not risking my life just to save altera some bucks or sum like that

[ember blade]

how many slots is the storage module?

[tacit thorn]

3x6+3x4+3x4+3x5+3x5

yes, its five separated lockers. pretty annoying to use

[ember blade]

this thing loses power kinda fast but wow very fun

[tacit thorn]

advanced power cells recommended, yes

[ember blade]

yeah, is there a way to charge these things?

[loud meteor]

power cell charger

[tacit thorn]

power cell charger. you can find blueprint at land bases methinks

[eternal garnet]

or moonpool, or seatruck dock

[tacit thorn]

or you can dock it in moonpool and it recharges

[ember blade]

i should prolly expore land eh?

[loud meteor]

yup
