i cant plant clippings
but you can, outdoor
no?
That's the closest I can do, I'm not risking to build foundations closer
what do i do with em
transfer into the plantbed, like a chest
foundation and plant pot
?
Were there caves and ion cubes at the end?
theres a cave with lots of black machinery and a cube or 2
Theyre plantable?
yes
I went somewhere there, and there was a deposit of ionic cubes
that is further north
I was there a year ago, I don't remember
i dont have exterior plant thihns
I mean, I don't want to go there again if I've already been there, because I remember that I really disliked climbing ice caves with ice worms from Dune
just store the clippings for now
aye
SyntheTHICC fibers
where do i find magnetite
frogs love thunderstorms
All the dirt is mud now. It should stop in 25-30 minutes
Yeah more water= more living space
slight problem
get attacked, seaglide away, then scan. Attacks have a cooldown
bro im not getting attacked
Weather update: the thunderstorm is calming down. Almost everything is mud and the toilets are almost unreachable
how do i craft fabricator module
in the vehicle bay
ty
move and attach it with the top handle
ok
does anyone else remember the bug with the seatruck where if you detached the modules with the lever the modules just kinda had a mind of their own
am i gonna get slower
are there like upgrades to get faster
I started a month ago so idk
Horsepower and the booster one
There is an upgrade to get faster. You get a speed boost burst but it takes up some energy
where do i get it
Sea monkey nests at lily pads
I never got it fully. But I know the fragments are in sea monkey nests in the lily pads area
where lily pads
so far so good
Good plan
There’s a spot near the twisty bridges that’s perfect, I’d get a screenshot if I didn’t play on switch
since when was subnautica on swithc lmao
Hi
hi
when subnautica 3?
on a monday.
one of outposts has a cave in it, magnetite is on ceiling
inside icebergs, in pengling caves, deep lilypads, crystal caves. There are a few inside the cave behind phi base
yes. a few are hollow. need laser cutter
aight ill have a look
no, you need to find one with a hole
ill find one
or just scanner room. They are not in a rock
Another weather update: Our tent survived. The neighbours tent has some problems so the whole lane is helping with getting the water away
frogs live in tents?
Currently
Too much water is not okay
The little frogs are kinda walking everywhere and not really helping
(Children)
ah. tadpoles
what. the HELL. is THAT
shrimpy chelicerate
Looks like chelicerae. black one so you ventured into void? or is the light really bad and its red?
it's red
its the purple volcanoes
its his turf. red ones can be killed and dont come back, if he really really annoys you
cool eggs
these are ||giant hoopfish||
no idea
i can only chat at below zero
and i dont have below zero i only have normal subnautica
was there something in welcome message reacts?
bots will time you out if you keep capsing
used laser cutter?
can only cut clear ice walls. game will tell you if cuttable
... its literally ICEberg
phi robotics center has cave with magnetite. bring grav ball
scan magnetite so it gets added to scan room
Not anymore. Most are healthy little young frogs
Wait... a hollow iceberg? I remember getting a message of that near margs greenhouse but i never found it
Well. I didnt see the entrance
Do subnautica vehicles exist in this game?
prawn only
are there any hacks for more hull reinforcements
like placing a habitat close but under ground and it still contributes to the hull integrity
you can turn creature damage off, by command or by custom game mode
yes, if it's close enough to be same base
any other tricks
someone said building a long tunnel and adding a multipurpose room and then deleting the tunnel works
bro did i just download someone into my head
Check the Deep Twisty Bridges.
hmm where is this?
Yeah probably.
like in the compass
Below 300 meters.
thanks
go to the coral bridge place and down
It's just directly underneathe the regular twisties.
No probs.
Portable alien companion!
why has the water gone red
do you really wanna know
With the help of a video guide, I found a cave in which there should be artifact 13. I came here, green things glow here, I didn’t find any artifacts, only ore. Where is the artifact itself, what does it look like, how to get it? Did I miss a secret button? Pass? What's happened?
The generators are the artifact.
There's no generator here, just snow and ore and these alien things that I can't interact with.
Help, I can't go further in the story, nothing happens
This is a list of all the plot pieces of the search quest that I received
the artifacts only give you signal to ||one of the body parts||
The circled stuff is the artifact it's just one big artifact. You just get the scan as well as two ion crystals.
It doesn't scan
Is that what it's called, the ||body||? This thing that's in a deep hole that has huge pink mushrooms growing at the bottom?
Your base will have no air
what do i use parallel processing units for
Base will keep you warm even without power, few titanium, quartz and habitat builder and you won't die of hypothermia innland exploring
You will get a recipe
i have it
yes, just build your base on delta island next to one
downside: penguins in your hot tub
haha
You do not want to see her naked
I have
oh naked? no. but she is about 65
how long do nuclear rods last

Save often
make sure to break the game often as well
what does the squid do
and are the fish that look like jets good
wdym
i found jet fish
cannot identify
Nice
effect of scanner room + hud chip
Ok y’all what’s cooler, snow stalker or tropical stalker?
what do i do with depleted rods
well snow stalkers are better because they're more fluffy
Load them into a torpedo launcher
i just built a large room for a nuclear reactor 😐
/game doesn’t let us have cannons tho so ouch
Oh don’t worry rods last EONS
if a rod would to die out I would think you would just put it in a bin wouldnt you not
yea you put them in a nuclear waste disposal bin thing
Question- how do I get over to Parvans room in ||phi robotics?|| no idea how to access it
His Bunker is connect to the frolo cave.
Frolo? cave
i just started utilizing the scanner room hud upgrade for the first time
its absolutely amazing and i have no idea why i didn't do this earlier
i was having a huge lead shortage and now i have a box full
there's my little pet so cute
Can you kill shadows
i think he said that
now I can scan him
where is the lilypad crevice
||Frozen Leviathan||
Ah found it! Then again I posted pics already so it was prolly kinda obvious
Tho now I’m wondering- ||how did the frozen leviathan exist? Was it herbivorous, tbh that seems unlikely considering it’s mouth full of jagged teeth. If ice worms still existed in its time, maybe it preyed on ice worms- they look big enough to sustain it||
True
||It was carnivorous. So it likely at the Leviathan wildlife in the ocean.||
Yeah that definitely checks too. ||Considering it’s massive limbs seemed prime for land-based locomotion, that’s why I put the ice worm theory out||
||I was thinking the large tusks could be used in excavating large amounts of snow and ice as well. Though being vertically broadened, idk maybe not||
thanks for the spoiler marks guys i just got the game
👍👍👍
so it turns out that the ||brute sharks are not friendly fish that look like jets and they will attack me sadly||
@carmine bobcat on the topic of baby critters, BZ spoiler: ||honestly I’m basically a cryptosuchus pappa at this point tho. I’ve hatched like 4 fully-sized individuals around delta island vents [1 in the border of the purple vents and 3 in the thermal spires], 3 baby-sized individuals in the little cavern where you find the mineral processor thing, 2 babies in a cavern with an active lava geyser, 4 babies by a little patch of the purple vents a little ways from the border, and 2 adult-sized ones around two large rock spires in the purple vents area||
help I found these artifacts and ||the body of the architect and the deposit of ion cubes||, no new marks appeared and I have no idea what to do next...
Just follow em, you’ll get more artifacts to research
...
I have already been there, and no new marks have appeared.
Most artifacts don't get beacons iirc.
You'll have to scour your PDA convos with Al - An or explore new areas to learn more.
I went everywhere I could 3 times
Have you looked on land?
I found a deposit of ion cubes.
Actually I think I couldn't find Q59б Where is the entrance ?
i like this game more than subnautica tbh
Also what is the roar from the left of the drop pod i keep hearing? is it those wolf fish?
Probably? It could be a Pinnacarid.
dont tell me what that is if im wrong, but is that maybe the squid i saw earlier or no?
No.
ok
Hey guys you know that cave with digging site, crabs and power broken powersuits
I wanna build small station there, but since theres no light what would be other best and most affordable way to power the station
Thermal power. Nearby cave networks connected to the Mining Site have lots of thermal geysers.
I think I am still in kind of begging of the game, is termal power something that you can do late game or
Where do I find embles for thermal powerplant or wtvr it is
If you have access to Magnetite, Ruby, and Gel Sacks, you can use thermal.
In the Mining Site itself actually! XD
oh lmao alr
Damn where do I find that sheet
Magnetite can be found in the Glacial Basin, Gel Sacks can be found in the Deep Twisty Bridges, and Ruby can be found in the Mining Site.
First two places you named I have no idea what is so Ill just explore till I find. It is meant to be that way ig.
Bioreactor, I just put fish in it or what
Plants
Okay thanks, that will solve it for now until I find other stuff
Alright. Good luck with the game.
Do I need big batteries for bioreactor
power cells
No.
Can you go in mining station with seatruck
Yes, but you need to to sideways a bit to wiggle in.
You can’t take any truck modules with you.
if disaster was a photo:
Dude i have played this game for like 10 hours now
And i must say its not nearly as scary as subnautica
Why do games do this i wonder
Like dying 2 is sooo less scary compared to dying light 1
The fear of seeing leviathans and pitch black dark was something in subnautica
Yea that thing is somewhat scary
But you gotta agree dude
Thw Game lost its scariness
its not pitch dark in crash zone
but its terrifying
right?
Some parts of the crash zone are very dark at night
I dunno man i am just not as terrified as i were in subnautica
no words can describe how much i hate this thing
its somehow worse than crabsquids
HOW
how is it inside 💀
the ball is spherical while that one is more cone-like
Thats subnautica below zero for ya
cheli is pretty
cuz it's not aiming at making horror games. it's about creating an alien underwater world.
It should be creepy
It was the vary reason i started playing it. The alien world shouldn't look like a lovey dove place hhhh
vent gardens are creepy i think. when I believed that there was only one but oh wait
I played subnautica like 2 years ago for the first time
I don't remember much
it's BZ content brah
But the muddy side where the ship was crashed still give me creeps
Because it had a crazy leviathan
what can you do with scrap
admire its beauty
Aaaand that was never the intent, apparently. Supposedly the scare factor was a side effect
“An alien world shouldn’t be lovey dovey” sir an alien world can be as absolutely stunning and beautiful as earth, even if it can only capture a fraction of that beauty in a video game because ofc it’s not as real as our world
I think they should've focused on it
True true
Honestly I’m glad they had the scare factor in base subnautica tho, that was fun, but I’m also content with admiring an ocean
Aaand also being scared because of the occasional leviathan
Far from SB tho
Counterpoint: the reapers existed and they were incredible
Fr fr
Chelicerate is a beautiful leviathan tho I adore the shrimp whale
I just loved the feeling that they are around and i must be careful
Actually I’m busy trying to get good pics of it rn with my newer FOV
Mods?
Oh
Not dramatically but noticeable, especially when you compare it side by side
I shudder to think of how I’ll see the reaper in 50 FOV LMAO
not so fond of reapers cuz they have gorilla face. I find it quite hilarious.
Everytime I see it in a distance I just know that it've already detected me
Subnautica ai is pretty weird, sometimes they just ignore you and times they'll immetdiately go after you the second you see them
Is the seatruck perimeter defense module still in ||maida’s base|| after the update? I can’t find it and I’m wondering if I should try regenerating the chunk or whatever
||scrap that it’s on the floor lmao||
It should be in || pilot last known location ||
it should be on the table or the ground
Yeah I thought it was the table only
guys how do i connect these
Grab the bar on top of the module and push it into the back of your seatruck
thanks
its beautiful
after 2 hours of nonstop grinding
i just need aquarium module now
do you think i can run over a leviathan and repeatedly ram them until theyre dead
I mean you could but I doubt they’d stand still long enough to let you do that
Stasis rifle in subnautica: "laughs menacingly"
lead is unusually hard to get
Facts
Good reason to take a break
tips: aquarium is not in twisty bridge
Ik, I meant I was searching for lead
why not scanner room tho
should've know that when "highlight interactables" is in Accessibility menu instead of General/Graphics
it means it reduces gameplay difficulty🤔
I WILL stick to scanner room because "chances of mineral" is a deliberate change in mechanics. It's very annoying. Always left me tons of titanium
you kinda need "tons" of titanium with the lack of aurora wreckage as a source of it
Why is subnautica below zero worse than the original?
You can build a toilet and use it, but there's no animation other than the toilet flushing
wheres the best place to put down thermal plants?
inside the vents
dang
the one inside ||delta station||
is it not working
ive not used them so much bc they are bad and limit the places you can have your base
the purple vents only get to 49
25 and up should work
m
are they properly connected to the base
is it only one of them you have? how big is your base
there are plenty of titanium ore around eco dead zone.
exterior growbed
who actually has the balls to be on the edge of the void
there's a smal volcano beside delta dock that can reach up to 250 degrees
my current base
for somereason im fine being in the void but not on the edge
underground yeah?
yeah the one spitting red lava. but just a few meters below the surface
so why reply with it to my message???
I tried but I only got a lousy 30 degrees, maybe im not close enough
it confused me bc i was talking abt a different thing in that message
put on prawn and bath in it to test out the temperature, each one is different
I don't have a prawn yet
go inside ur base and check the max energy and the energy u have
the other ones are about 70 to 90 degrees, not as good but decent enough.
not enough plantable flora. huge disappointment.
When I have done everything i want in my hardcore world im just gonna fight a void chelicerate
Did you all ever hear of the 'Voud optic leviathan' i just heard the name
Why did they make the snowfox out of the most fragile material possible?
What are the materials again?
it would be fine if the fox compensated that with speed and manoeuvrability(((
I think it's made with wet paper & possibly some uncooked bread dough
Ooh yeah that was the recipe. I just found some rotten dough on delta island and the paper was half dead after the water
Seems about right.
Sadly
I just took a corner in the snowfox and clipped something and it was down to 47% from 100%
I never made it
It's fun until you see the damage it takes then it's sad
I wanna make my hardcore world an absolute masterpiece. And im also gonna experience the fun (pain and suffering) of driving the snowfox. And imma try to complete the game 100%
I'm on my 2nd hardcore playthrough right now. 😄 enjoy it
Great
Guys where’s the outpost?
Which one?
I think I couldn't find Q59б Where is the entrance ?
you can check every single voice message in pda
New blueprints & materials but not right away
u can do it for fun just like everything in the game
IIRC you need to scan a piece in there in order to build what you need to ||shut down the tower on Delta island||
if u didn't go into mercury 2 then why u ask about the greenhouse
after ||you meet her in her deep base she says that's what you need to do to prove yourself to her.||
Probably already did it then
it is ||deep within Koppa Mining Site||
||Is this a deep man-made mine, it seems with parts of an exoskeleton?||
i don't get it
This?
that is it
YES
Crap. Then indeed, I had already examined all the artifacts, ||found the body, ||examined the whole land, and the plot hung up on me, it does not continue, there are no indications or places where I have not been.
You've got the blueprints for all ||3 needed body parts & constructed them?||
Gotta love when the you deploy the snowfox and it vanishes under the snow
lack of hints IS the spirit of subnautica
That's the thing, it's not
Wrong person.
In the first part there were all the hints, there are not only hints but also marks, but for some reason they do not work and there are no hints.
from a gameplay point of view the artifact signal is ||that only for you unlock new technologies. It makes no difference whether you visit them or not.||
the story of Below Zero is much clearer than Subnautica 1 I believe with all the necessary steps guiding you towards the ending.
By the way, where can I find the first exoskeleton depth module? I found the second one, but I can't do the second one without the first one.
it is unlocked by default.
you can craft it at the most basic fabrication station.
is there a console command on PC to allow you to pass through solid structures?
oh
Suddenly my ||Nolan ||spoke to me, for no reason, and I had a new label where to swim 0-0
A lot of times it seems time-gated
Maybe, but I spent in-game weeks looking for a continuation of the story, so maybe it was a time delay bug
When I don't have any clues, I just explore and enjoy the game, and/or build bases
film director got new ideas
How can I assemble this thing?
In a special place to find. You should wait until you have 3 parts
There is no gain in building one of 3 now
Okay, technical question [PC]. When I pause the game and minimize the window with it, the computer continues computer running at full capacity. Is there a way to put the game on a real pause so that it does not load the computer?
I can’t turn it off, it takes about 9 minutes to load, this is a bad option
Good question. Not sure about that. But you can stop it running full capacity (always) by using the FPS limit setting. 60 FPS is definitely enough for this game
9 minutes? Ew. Get an SSD. It's a revolution, and they are cheap now
my BZ starts and loads a save in 40s
In practice no that's not "possible". Pausing the game by opening the menu does not stop the application, all it does is tell the game "hey don't continue moving the character" or whatever. Especially something like loading the game or a save file won't play nice with this because the game isn't designed around the idea of doing this. Honestly not a single application in existence is 😅
Something some games do however provide is a way to limit the FPS like Meatie also said. There are also games that lower your FPS to a very low number like 10 or 20 or similar whenever you minimize the game but this isn't very common in my experience. But even then it can still use plenty of resources.
vsync locked my fps? It turn on and i have 95% work of my videocard
all my datastores (and both ssd) full, i cant 😦
BZ is really slow on a HDD
Submautica too, i see
o yes
The problem is that the only place where I can install the BZ and where it is installed is not a just HDD, this is my slowest HDD
Cant you copy a folder to a different sdd or hdd. Im on ps4 so idk how it works
is the ||teleportation seatruck module|| the final piece of tech from ||scanning artifacts||
Yes
awesome. Not gonna use it but good to know
Want a small tip for the tether tool? If the ion cube ⅓ or ⅔ empty. Craft an ion battery or ion power cell with the ion cube. Then use recyclotron and you have a full ion cube
Are you sure recycling not full ion batteries gives full ion cube? I knoe for sure that using not empty ion cube to build recyclotron and then decrafting the recyclotron gives full ion cube.
And anyways, ion batteries can be put in battery charger. If you want a definitely not-cheating way, use swim charge fins and hold the tether tool while swimming...it recharges but is terribly slow
The issue I have with that is the entire module is like the aquarium module.
Fun but pragmatically useless
It can save you time to get out of some faraway place, like arctic spires (if you don't use prawn in there)
I saw it on a vid but im not 100% sure
Where is that hollow iceberg. And is it usefull?
And are there multiple
||My lighthouse says it's "Centipede Cave." I put it a year ago and I don't remember what it means. Is this centipede dangerous? I'm afraid to swim there on my underwater train, maybe it's better to swim with my hands or in an exoskeleton?
ps On the way, I was almost eaten by the Reaper, just appeared from nothing and began to eat||
You mean chelicerate? And idk what you mean with centipede cave
I think I know what you mean
This???
The centipede?
Or he means the ice worm
holly blood looks like my nightmare and centipede so i think yes
It will eat me?
It will eat my submarine train?
I mean I think the fifth pic speaks for your question
wiki says 75 damage to you and less so to your vehicle. plus you can fix your vehicle easier so better go with your truck.
I will try kill that..
Hah
started a new save, not gonna be an idiot and try and build a base in Twisty Bridges again this time
You really though this was gonna be a good place for a base?
no, i was an idiot :p
i'm thijnking the border between purple vents and lilypads this time
yes. Twisty isn't so bad, if you keep south, deep part
yeah no i was about 100m deep, it was terrible
oh why, twisty is beautiful
especially the lower part (wild flora
most of it is very north, far from stuff
Does this part have a big fish tank like in the first part?
Yes.
Where?
the bow wreck, south-west end of lilypads
how do i attach a seatruck docking station to my base
my base already looks ugly enough lol
with the pointy end. Leave 2-3m space for a connector
ok
also without spoilers is it possible to take a prawn suit on land?
sure. it works well on land
great
rn my base is ugly because it is a double decker multi room with a scanner, control room, and a moonpool area on all 3 sides of the upper main room
i think ive made good progress for 6 hours though, i have a good base set up, 3 alien artifacts down
ive explored the delta station and koppa mining area, next ill go to one of the ice areas
Corralling a misplaced leviathan isn’t what I planned on doing today, but honestly it was fun [||I accidentally drove a chelicerate from the tree spires into the purple vents after trying to take pictures of it + perimeter blasting it to keep my seatruck from being damaged too much. Can’t have two chelicerates in the purple vents so I tried to make my best guess as to which one was originally in the tree spires, and then I went perimeter blasting it again to guide it towards an unoccupied vent garden||]
Sounds terrible, yet great. I’ve spent my day moving my crap from starter base to my main base.
Oh it was great- now I want a leviathan ranching spinoff lol
I feel like my base is at not the greatest spot lemme draw it rq from head
Right side is rock. Its a large room witha seatruck dock (thing on the left) and on the edge of a cliff. The circle is the entrance (hatch)
Am I supposed to find all three prints of this inside aurora
cuz I found two and cant find third
aurora
Lol
It’s the Mercury II
Are you even paying attention to the game you're playing lol
But yes I do believe you get all three from that wreck. I think you can use the mineral scanner to help you locate them.
I stopped reading story after some time, characters have no personality
alliens are interesting tho
Max amount of ppu's in a wreck is 2
Three in the bow.
bro how do I access storage of powersuit
on the top back, not hard
oh damn how did I miss that
what is this bruh
It's a blueprint you need for one optional side quest of the game
hm aight
so its a spoiler bruh
this is the most satisfying way of getting power I have ever created
that`s 3300 power on one foundation
Hope they actually power up your base and not only the foundation (which could count as separate base if your proper base is too far away...)
power transmitters my friend
Any power source only powers up one base, and sometimes people have had problems at least with thermal plants only powering up the foundation they are built on, regardless of power transmitters built to their base
you sure about that bud
if within range power transmitters will receive power from solar panels or thermal plants
Yes, I know how power transmitters work. I've just heard of problems with foundations counting as a base. Maybe it's if you have foundations both on solar panels and thermal plants which you try to connect to the same base🤷🏻♂️
Good if it's working for you
it does that if you make more of the foundations then add more transmitters to connect them but it can be fixed if you just delete your previous transmitters then make new ones
its beautiful
What are these things? This is already the second one I found, it's every time like a small space that I can't fit in but I have no clue if it is even possible to get to
Oh and here is a third one I found
You need the spy pengwing
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
thanks haha
np
They’re basically markers for locations where it’s needed to access small caves
Always
Wow I just finished it and it was really awsome! Are there multiple endings? ||I thought there was going to be somthing about a monster in ice or somthing||
There can be
It's not required for completion though.
It not so much an alternate ending as a way to find out more about the story
there's one ending, and one line of dialog that is missing if you ||didn't cure a thing||
||Ah oke I never really felt connected to the story about the sister and the AL-AN ending was cool but it really felt like 2 diffrent storys ||
It can feel like that sometimes. I find experiencing both is cool too though.
||if I enter the portal alan went through can I still return with everything like you could in the first game?||
I liked that ending
thats one way to do it lol
i find it really hard progressing the story, is there like any hints to keep me going?
i got this like since the beginning, already went to it but like nothing happened except the voice
You should go check it out again then.
did the cube crumble?
ye
Oh ok
so an alien ||living in your brain|| is nothing happened?
okay but nothing else opened or the marker still isnt gone
turn it off in pda
it is, but it's a bit buggy
for the green beacons you get, you also forget, so change color AND turn them off when you find them
There are, but they won't show up immediately.
whyyyyyyyyyyyy is the game so incredibly hard to navigate xD
subnautica 1 was so easy xD
lol
Yeah, it's a little weird.
See if you can find a smaller hole down.
Swimming instead of using Seatruck was easier for me.
I took the Seatruck down a little, for an O2 supply, but swam the rest.
pretty sure i'm blind
how do you get to glacial basin by land through glacial bay
been hunting through the bay on creative for a while now without any luck
The entrance to glacial basin in right by the Bridge.
You might have to go through a small cave. It's not hard to see, it's pretty short.
You can see stright to the other side iirc.
OK, ty
i've made it to phi robotics lab previously
i can't get through this area tho
so i'm still kinda stuck rom here
to go from phi to the south-west bits, go either a high ice road that is kind of north side, or thru a water tunnel
is it this thing in top right?
not sure. it's not super high up
might be that middle one, but I don't know where you are
oh, Phi. the road is probably more south
OK
i have found it, there's a ladder at the end of the canyon that allows you to go over to the southwest area
thank you for your help!
how do yall think this compares to the first
is there anything this game does better?
it's a little shorter, it is more beautiful. And jukebox.
You aren't alone, and you speak.
valid
each has its advantages/disadvantages imo
like resource gathering in this one is better for some things (you can get copper more easily), but there are also some materials that can only be found in one location (like magnetite)
how do I move my snowfox around?
if this aint what you play in your seatruck, dont talk to me 🗣️
welp
so i built a base and it says 0/75 power but my o2 doesnt go down will i be able to use other things or nah
also im in the Tree Spire/Vent Garden areas should i not use solar panels or are they fine
Accidentally sparked one of my released cryptosuchuses :(((
Hey does anyone know why this is happening. I got the game a year or 2 ago and stopped playing it. I then reinstalled windows to windows 10 and I come back to the game and It does this. I have tried everything single tutorial I have seen on the internet and I have reinstalled the game already. This is the only game it’s happening to and Subnautica works perfectly fine
i also meet correct system requirments and have over 100 gigabytes of extra space
this is my last resort since I have already contacted basically every single support for the game out there
If you had any mods installed previously that could be the issue, those should be removed.
I didn't have any mods for subnautica and subnautica below zero
Not sure then. Only other thing that comes to mind is to delete the whole directory and let it rebuild. My troubleshooting skills are lacking for Steam.
ok how do i do that. also not sure if this is important or not but when i trouble shooted for compatibility it said it wasnt compatible but i couldnt find an explanation for why
the efficiency would be very low but enough for living. not sufficient if you want to craft lots of stuff since each one takes 5 power
I think it’s just a matter of deleting the SubnauticaZero folder you had there. But I’m not 100% sure…. As for compatibility, that seems odd for Windows. Is yours an older system?
What CPU?
i have a pretty old computer with an i7 960 intel
I7 should be good, I remember something about old CPUs having an issue but not i7 ones.
Someone else may be along with some ideas to try later…
so should i just try to uninstall the subnauticazero.exe and reinstall it?
Make sure the directory is empty before you reinstall just I be sure it gets everything.
You had it there earlier in that video?
I actually play on a Steam Deck and haven’t had to get into the files…
oh thats cool, do you know what the file is called?
I think everything there should probably go.
ok
I feel like I missed a clue somewhere. I have 2/3 of the alien blueprints for body parts
In the event of a shadow leviathan attacking me. Which is better to kill it with. Drill or punch in the prawn suit?
Drill
Or use seatruck and shock it when it attacks....
True. I'm thinking I might make gas torpedo's and try those. He keeps attacking me
Seatruck perimeter defence is the easiest option; if timed right you won't even take any damage, it lets go and you can continue moving
i'm concerned about how much damage i'll take if I dont' time it right
Preferably time a bit too late so you only take little damage. Too early and you take damage during recharging the defence
Fair enough. I'll give it a shot. I have ion power cells so it'll be a long fight but i'll be fine
fully charged perimeter defense I assume?
No, just a small tap so it releases
If you plan to kill it (for some reason), then prawn is the way to go
I keep trying to bypass him but he seems insistent on a confrontation
Friendly reminder that there's more than one
lol Fair enough. Don't worry I made lots of torpedos. I will try to avoid them but will use them if forced
walk softly and carry a big stick & all that
Yeah it's wise to come prepared
Falls under the category of "start no s&#t, won't be no s&#t"
does anyone else's discord rich presence not work with below zero? mine just says "Playing SubnauticaZero"
True
Sorry, i'm not sure. i have that feature disabled
why cant i access commands? i use ` and ~, and Shift+enter but nothing works.. im so confused
I feel like it had something to do with F3 but i'm not sure
you know how to fix it maybe at all?
is there gonna be a 3rd game?
Yes, they have started working on it, but don't except it any time soon.
bruh
i think they confirmed a bunch of stuff, i think 2025 was the release date multiplayer was confirmed im pretty sure
||Apparently AL-AN still talks to you from inside your head when you cure the frozen leviathan even if you've already transferred him to his body.||
I could have sworn there were multiple instances where we are told Architects are ||a collective consciousness and connected||, but I can't find anything about that on the wiki or most other places..
Am I missing something? Does anyone happen to have a link to a wiki page about this?
||Alan told about this facts several times when we first met him & answering his call while hanging around. ||
However, as the story progresses ||Alan stopped referring to himself as "we" since he lost all the connection to his people. ||
🤔 Ill see if I can find some records of the conversations with AlAn on the wiki then
Can't replay the entire game for certain dialogue scenes that'd take hours lol
if you happen to forget that all the dialogues can be viewed in PDA then you know it now
True, but I don't have my save files anymore
nw tho, I found it on the wiki now, thank you :)
No problem (I did nothing)
Is the ||Architect Skeleton|| model actually in the game or is that a sketchfab only thing?
bro 😭 i just went through the most stressful adventure
i was trying to get nickel ore and tried to find deep lilypad cave, accidently went to ||marguirets|| base and went to the crystal cave, my prawn suit almost got destroyed by a shadow leviathan, i escaped, the prawn suitstarted to get destroyed due to depth limit, i got it to higher ground, swam around, got my nickel ore, went back the route i came, shadow leviathan ALMOST fully destroyed my prawn suit, made it back to my seatruck, and drove off extremely fast
read your pda, it tells you everything
tab > databank > survival
make sure to explore and look all around too. you need to look around to progress in the game
also dont look up what youre supposed to do, it takes the fun of exploring out tbh
just act like youre the main character, stranded with no help.
I once got lost in the crystal cave for my first playthrough. Truck's depth model not updated & I could only stick to the cave ceiling with the poor crushing depth.
yikes
The crystal cave is pretty well designed to make one lose directions…
weird how my seatruck can go deeper than my prawn rn
just got depth mk3 after searching the whole crystal cave
crystal cave is the lost river of below zero
the closest biome I can think of in Subnautica 1 is the ||Jelly Shroom Cave. (even the color is similar lol). Almost no visual directives throughout the whole area. ||
easy to get lost in and theres a shadow leviathan
lost river is easy to get lost in and theres a ghost leviathan
Lost river is interesting and more of a safari trip
Crystal caves just seems like a pure nightmare and nothing about it seems nice
I still havent been
Putting myself through the horror of arctic spires until the game tells me to go to crystal caves
deep twisty bridges is easily the scariest biome in the game bro. those whale lookin leviathans give me anxiety every time i hear them
Yeah squidsharks are just... shudder
fr
I went down there for the seatruck part
Never again
My favourite biome is the Lillypad Islands
But i would love it so much more if it didnt have the squidshadks deeper
I got a load of lithium in purple vents
If you stay to the south of purple vents youre fine
And if you see it you'll be fine anyway, its dumber than a peeper
my favorite is the regular twisty bridges
it just looks nice
Yeah its really pretty
But the music and glow whales and the islands and the views 🥹
i still gotta get the laser cutter
i cant find the parts so i cant make the ||test module override||
all ive been doing is upgrading my seatruck
zero progression in the story 💀
by the time i find another artifact my seatruck is gonna be maxed out
Actually you can get all three scans without laser cutter.
Apparently theres one on Delta island if you have tbat
Oh yeah Lazer cutter i forgot
Go to the kelp caves
Like the ones that go on and on
Sea monkeys will have some in their nests :)
Oh you can?
Yes but irs a bit of a search
More fun with laser cutter and you can use it later for other stuff too
Yeah
Laser cutter fragments are in ||koppa mine, the shipwrecks, seamonkey nests and some are laying around in twisty bridges||
Im still trying to find the seatruck speed upgrades
But i cannot find them anywhere :/
Yeah
I think all of mine were found from sea monkeys
Are all in the seamonkey nests in lilypad crevices
But scattered over a large area
Yeah
Lot of important scans there
Heck yeah. 😎
im realizing that people are actually scared of subnautica and i feel like im a psychopath for not being scared
I feel like the devs simply put all the gameplay enhancing equipments in that area. Not a smart design.
I believe that a certain amount of people play Subnautica because they EXPECT it to be a scary game.
guys any tips for below zero?
starting?
Save often. Explore everything. This game is about exploration. Sea monkeys may annoy you a lot; just hide your tool (PC: press E). Bring a beacon everywhere. New beacon feature: if you have one and die, it will rename and drop.
The air bladder is now really good. Pin recipes you plan to make.
Have fun. Spoiler free starter guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-GhqzEfMOA
You may need hints to find 3 body parts. Just ask
i dont have any of the games rn im getting both of them in 2 months for my birthday
alr then
1 important question before i start
does the peepers taste same
Dont those tips apply to the OG game as well?(except sea monkey one)
most of them yes
.
No, the peepers are sweeter here
no more cooking hoverfish
does the deep ocean bundle give both games?
yes
ok
and on steam, if you have one, still get the bundle. Cheaper
then ill get that instead of the games sepratly
and after i finish the games i can play subnautica on vr😎
Wait are there hoverfish in BZ? I forgot.
it was a weird start my shuttle said welcome to 4546b and blew up
Alright maybe BZ is better than OG game after all.
reply to any BZ critics, one word: jukebox
Crashfish do the same. I am fluent in crashfish language.
User error, bad landing
ah man the pda voice is different
Why is that a problem.
it says blueprint sympasized or smh not blueprint acquired
more shocckers: You speak. There are NPCs
I liked PDA voices in both games.
i personally liked the old voice more
Both are actually commerical text-to-speech voices
But that ruins immersion!1!1
things to remember: battery charger is unlocked by default.
dont eat the green snow ?
yellow*
i made the seaglide
in 22 minutes
now
i have a knife some food, water and beacons
what do i do next
i saw that
the photo of a naked man
I did too.
what do i do now
i have fins oxygen knife and seaglide
sams messages give no info
about where to go
user was banned
Game does not hold your hand like that. Explore. Find truck bits. Find distress signal - important
and for gods sake can i get a copper
for some reason game doesnt give me any
its only titanium
i launched my self like 10 meters above from water
using air bladder
why half of the fish population wants to blow themself up
Air bladder make you go weeeee
but...you can ||drink your own urine|| in Below Zero🤔
yes
They make it realistic so it's just slightly better than completely useless.
special mid-game equipment exclusive to Below Zero
Still suit?
i was talking about the green snow as in green kharaa pustules...
You wanna eat the frozen leviathan kharaa postules?
Not exclusive to below zero, also the first game has the suit
na bro 💀
Whaaaa💀💀💀
it aint help
how is this relevant to bz
what is relevant?
yes
Scan the rooms on delta station and every other base you come accross
didn't know that before but thanks for pointing out🤔
it greatly reduces the mass extinction of bladderfish we are forced to commit
Nah, do a vegan run on the custom game options and let bladderfish live
Hint: in below zero you can eat creepvine seed clusters for 10 water
arctic spires at night is scary bruh
arctic spires at night in a snowstorm
Snowstorm you could be anywhere...
is this normal?
No, but we know about it.
it's rare, and not game breaking
The game stole my exoskeleton from me. He was standing right here at the entrance (the game wouldn't let me into the room in the exoskeleton). I went inside for a minute, and when I got out, the exoskeleton was gone. What to do? I just saved, so I can't boot until the exoskeleton goes missing. To the nearest base or boat 1000 meters in a straight line. I only have a glider and the best tank and rebreather. I'm more interested in if there are console commands here to find my exoskeleton.
Check your PDA to see if the signal is there.
Check your list of beacons in the PDA...
If it isn't, it broke.
What’s your platform?
I have no signal
If there is still a leviathan out there it could have destroyed it while you were away. Been known to happen.
I suggest using freecam to look under the terrain and see if the prawn clipped
how it broke if it just stand?
Actually nvm it probably would’ve fallen a good distance if that were the case
Is there a console command to restore the exoskeleton with the resources and modules that were in it?
Not with your belongings. And doing that will break further achievements if you care about that.
Wild guess, they don't.

idk
Anyway, I messed up the save. I'm in a place where I don't have enough air to reach the nearest rescue, and my vehicle was killed by the game.
I think it's called softlock?
A quantum detonation has occurred
You could reach the ||alien cache where the organs|| were.
And from there, you can reach ||Marguerit's base||, or maybe the surface.
As far as I know, I am already in this place. But what's in it for me? I'll just die of hunger or thirst.
In your screenshot you were at the ||fabricator base||.
If you don't play hardcore, the game will respawn you in your base, Seatruck or lifepod.
||Nolan said that I could make a body for him here.||
Yes, so you aren't where you find the ||organs||.
You can reach this place from the ||fabricator base||, with your seaglide.
I'll just restore the robot, upgrades and some ore with the help of cheats, because this is nonsense, the game just killed my suit itself, this is nonsense.
By curiosity, what is the version of your game?
idk
The number in the F1 menu, plastic changeset.
45 39 1
I figured.
||Why couldn't I get in here in an exosuit? In a normal subnautic, I could enter alien rooms||
You see, the game doesn't decide to break your Prawn Suit. But in the old versions, the shadow was destroying it while you are away. So, since you play an "old" version, I would call it karma.
A parked prawn is still attacked by the shadow, pretty certain. Not the truck tho
The ticket is closed.
I see it happen in this chat a lot
Maybe they use "old" versions then. :þ
WHo is the shadow
a lil fishy with no face
centerpende?
Shadow Leviathan
Centepede.
This happens in any version on slow hard drives if you go far, but I did not go far
tempted to test that, but naah
I will not play the casual version, I will play the version intended by the developers
The developer wouldn't want you to play 45 391.
If a centipede attacked my suit, I would hear it, it screams loudly and creaks. But I just went in, went out and saw emptiness.
Although it takes about 4 attacks to destroy the costume, which is long and loud...
I'm more interested in the fact that I can't enter the room - is this the norm? In the first game, I could go anywhere I wanted with my exosuit.
Preventing the vehicle is intended.
you can't, obviously. The other game is no excuse
This is illogical, so using cheats is legal and not cheating.
it's life, Jim, but not as we know it
They don't want me to play BZ at all, because the button to switch to BZ from the first game doesn't switch the game, it opens a browser or something.
Its broken i think
Or maybe it's a GOG or EGS error, I don't remember exactly where I have it
I think I know.
Maybe they sold me a demo version
I found a command to create a new exosuit, but is there a command to restore the old one along with modules and inventory? I don't remember what exactly was in the box, and I don't want to cheat by taking too much, but I don't want to lose non-renewable resources that I collected at the risk of my life
No, you have to type individual commands to get what you had.
It's a pity. By the way, about resources. In the first part, they are definitely non-renewable. Is there no respawn in BZZ either?
Some creatures can create resources. But the outcrops don't respawn.
Is the creature Harry Potter prehaps?
Well, this is logical, so i have to remember and try not to take too much.
I think i will abuse the seamonkeys so hard. Just infinite resources
But not any i think? Blue chrystalls i can find only in the deep dark redchrystalls cave?
They don't give you kyanite, no.
I have a lot to learn i guess
My tiny pee frog pea brain cant understand all of that
To be fair it's a bit complicated.
They give you nickel or ruby but only when they are in lilypads for instance.
They can give you root pustule when they are in the Arctic Kelp Cave Outer.
But not when it's pinned.
If I drop an item from inventory, will it always be at the bottom, or will it ever disappear from the game? I seem to have restored 1 extra kyanite with cheats
It won't disappear, but maybe sink through the ground.
||Friends, I climbed around the Crystal Caves, found the place where Nolan's body is made, and there are dead ends all around. I was confused and decided to find a map. It marks this place and nothing else. Is it really that empty? Only bugged centipedes, kyanite and 1 place of aliens even without a plot?||(In general, I was looking for lead, but I did not find lead either)
yes, this isn't the lost river
So I screwed up, because I just built a self-contained base here with all the amenities, hoping to be doing research for the next 10 hours...
Where do I get the || hydrofluid thingy for the bridge?||
missing the recipe? scan it on the bridge right by the console
I’m dumb
Ok.
I got subnautica but idk what to do dawg

What to do in the game?
Explore, there is a red thread to find and follow.
if you are still stuck tomorrow hit me up and i will give you some tips :D
K
Bruh. You can also just do it yourself.
Rn I ma trying to get a scanner
What are you talking about?
Without red thread.
