It's dry cave? Or underwater?
Map is helpful, but if you don't know Greek alphabet or don't have it scanned you can't tell difference between omega and koppa
Dry
You may have to swim up after using laser cutter
Then I'm super unlucky
Theyre greek singns?
My small brain cant go that far
Yea idk Greek symbols so bz did another stupid thing by not even giving a legend
I didnt expect anything from yall. Or i didnt know what i would be expecting from yall.
Not you.
Oh
There is legend directly under the map in PDA
Cries in dumb
You sure π
Yes
No way I missed that
Or not? Uh... It was there I swear...
Reeeee! This iceberg is driving me crazy!
How to get in that caveeeeee
Come on!
I feel like I'm swimming in circles...
Maybe you are, it could be a mean iceberg
||It's iceberg near Marguerite's greenhouse? Or I got it wrong?||
They are all over the world but there is one on you're way to that place yes
is the snowfox worth using?
I've been mostly using my prawn for most things and I was wordering if I should make one
It's poop
You get an achievement for it, and after a while if you get used to controls, it is kinda fun zooming around
bunnyhopping with the prawn is more fun for me
Yayy
It's so beautiful inside!
Yep
Thankies!
Could someone explain how I can see creepvines when there arenβt any?? Or am I just going insane??
Ghost of the past
Im going insane
Can you make more room with windows
What
I'm curious because it seems to be doing the effect on the door awell
I'm curious to see how it looks with other windows
Yeah it does it on the door too
Idk man I donβt have a base yet
I just killed a sea monkey because it stole my knife
And I also cooked a fish alive because it was biting me
@deep kettle One gold and two blue
Reflection bug strikes again 
It probably comes down to that they made a reflection for the spot where it can land next to creepvine, but there are multiple spots.
Shadows of the past
All my world resources renewed
Either you haven't played for a good while or a part of your save file corrupted and it just generated new resources.
I swear I collected that quartz in past and it's back
Ding ding, good guess. I haven't played this save since game's release
If it's a single piece of quartz you made also have gone insane to be honest π€£
Seems like you need to eat less peepers π
Not sure if they regenerated parts of the map after release though. I don't think they did but I might be wrong.
Peepers belong in bioreactor
Just finished the game. It was quite the journey and I loved it.
along with cuddlefish
throw those pods from the sea monkey cave vines in there
takes a while till it runs out if you got some solar panels on your roof
adding a nuclear reactor after pretty much grants you infinite energy
Nice!
Congratulations
But like I'm collecting ore veins once again
I am sure that I did collect them in past
Perhaps it happened when game got what the dock update?
All you said was a single piece of quartz, I can't guess an entire ore vein respawned x)
what are yall talking about?
I remember that I stocked up on so many ores, items and plants that I usually just crafted quest items in my base
I don't think they regenerated parts of the map with the update, but again I could be totally wrong on that π€
except quartz


Petition for moderators called "Thom" to get free Nitro from Discord to use animated emojis x)
I refuse to pay them money for those silly emojis though.
yes
tries to imagine how ridiculous it was to get out of the ||deep lillypad|| with just grapple arms
Did you just not like it?
what's a ||deep lilypad||
Will next game get cyclops size (or bigger) submarine?
oh no
There's no info on the gameplay for the next game.
How did you finish game without knowing that?
I don't know the biome names, blind playthrough
Saaad
Cotton flower thingy
those mushrooms?
I guess so?
I know they were used in crafting a lot
cotton anemone place is also called deep lilypads

This place.
i want to eat that
I don't recall the cave being difficult to go through and back up. I think I actually shredded a squid thingamajig because it was annoying and I wanted to scan it
I just used the prawn jets
It would be cool place if not those ||traps||>~<
||traps?||
spiky traps
I think I found an upgrade for them somewhere and equipped it before going down there
I counted around 4 in there
traps? I remember there was one near the ||ventgarden||
scared the crap outta me
Wait, really!?
what?
I think so
what are these traps people are talking about
Those exist in there yeah.
or atleast I remember there being those tentacle thingies
These.
RIGHT
wanted to shoot a photo and swam into one
ive found like one
worst scare of my life
I think I actually found that by mistake while searching for ||Maida||
shotgun them maybe?
try drilling them
best result was someone who said build a platform on top of it
They do not take any damage
The first spike trap I ran into was in ||deep twisty bridges||
It makes sense that they are not immune to the habitat builder.
what is that, the coral mining biome?
I recall in the bridge biome there were those corals you need for chips
Always used to go there just for them
Yes, just go deeeeeeeeep
If only terrain could still be altered with the builder ;(
To be fair they could do so without having to store the entire terrain data for individual saves.
if there was a squidface fish I might've also drilled it into pulp
||What are all architect tech blueprints?||
wdym
There is
the ||body parts||?
No
I don't get what you mean
||Recyclotron for example||
I don't think they saved the entire optoctrees. More like the concerned batches the same way as the CellsCache.
That's still a ton of data in more explored worlds though. Unless they only store the relevant batches I suppose, instead of everything that was loaded once.
artifact rewards: ||ion power. recyclotron. Ender chest thing. Teleport module||
||Okay, I have them all then||
The artifacts are still ony my 'most hated features list' in this game π
Why?
Because you will never find most of them by just exploring, they are also not interesting at all. I would have preferred just finding fragments or something else for the rewards.
I wander what would happen if you drop peeper into recycling machine
i once found an artifact on accident
Same
I usually found em while exploring by accident
The only one I found "my self" was in the mining site.. Which is pretty much impossible to miss once you go there π
I don't remember scanning obelisk though
i found the one in kelp forest
doesn't alan tell you where artifacts are?
he gives you some of the locations
I think it's enough for a recyclator
I got that, the island one and the geologic sampler thingy
6 out of 15 to be precise.
Yeah. But that's exactly my point, all it ever does is "follow this waypoint, scan the object and get a reward". If you were to disable all waypoints you would never find most of them.
Fajr ^
what about the delta one
why do you think waypoints exist
it's a key mechanic for a reason
To ruin my exploration game? π
What is the point in making a game to explore the world if you're just going to tell me where everything is?
Meh, there are more scannables than rewards so it's likely to find them
then disable all of them and go find them yourself, them being hard to find while disabling the main way to find them kinda falls on your choices
don't complain about it tho
If I were to disable them I can't find them because the devs put them in the most absurd places.
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Not devs
Hm? π
Architects did
Lol
And they are known for keeping stuff off sight so it all fits them
Hopefully you get the point I'm trying to make though. If I need a waypoint to find some object, and I'm unable to find it if disabling waypoints, then I think it's just badly placed / designed.
dog feces
btw there is a artifact on the way to ||maidas greenhouse||
on a glacier top iirc, got there by prawn (obviously)
Also how can you miss them with such big eyeballs?
Walls π₯²
Are we having an illogical arguement
||Satellite?||
yup
I'm just giving my opinion on the artifacts π€·ββοΈ
I found it myself
same
I'm on your side π€·ββοΈ
Most of artifact I found on my own without beacons
they're usually in big holes
Look at it this way. In Subnautica you had those escape pods. It was the same mechanic
dropping down always had me anxious about crush depth
You could have got them earlier by looking around but also could have just wait for the message to get hint
Yeah, escape pods were a way to make the player find new biomes and databoxes
literally the same thing as artifacts
||And for example point the way to Lost River. Kinda like Ion Powerplant shows player way to Arctic Spires and Glacial Basin||
The big difference with those is that most can easily be found without a waypoint. The only reason you get those radio messages is because the developers are trying to get you to explore more of the map. You can still ignore the waypoints and find most of them by just zooming around a biome. I'm absolutely not going to find a random artifact hidden in one of the many kelp caves π
A pda is not as significant as an ||alien scan thing||
And I'm not going to deny there are some artifacts you can find that way, but there are a good amount that are just in absurd spots.
with enough exploration you find artifacts while going somewhere
in the sky
Well, I did found it once by accident
most are near significant locations or fragments
I agree
Despite the harsh criticism, this video is not an attempt to convince you that Subnautica: Below Zero is a bad game. I've only tried to put into words that phantom sense of disappointment I had with me throughout my time with the game. When compared to other survival games, I'd say that below zero surpasses 90% of them with ease. The only game i...
some are in absurd spots but if you go looking for them with a crumb of luck you'll find em
And I was like "Wait, what...? It's here? I thought it was somewhere... Nevermind..."
Watch this it's good video
Is this the person ranting for an hour about the game? π€£
1h 50m
Roughly
There was one of these videos I watched at some point and they had some points I agree with but the amount of salt in the video I watched was unreal haha.
ranty rant rant rant rant rant
Constructive criticism is good too tho
ranting intensifies
oh, someone ranting for two hours about a game? That's for sure something I would watch in my free time
Well I have lots of free time and use videos to ignore sadness
I don't think this is the video I watched, this one is much more nice about it all π
Mine was just an absolute one hour roast on every part of the game lol.
Hope you get better but try doing something new or take a walk out, you don't have to exist in rant video purgatory
Thanks lol, I don't watch that much rant videos, but this video was enjoyable
Maybe this was the video after all π€
I doesn't feel like the one I watched but I can't find it either. Whatever I guess.
Also some of these people really do not like Below Zero π₯²
After clicking through this I once again see that a person criticizing the game is referencing the cure recipe being from plants. It doesn't take many brain wrinkles to realize that's there purely as a gameplay mechanic for the scenario that would happen if the player lost the cure.
The video is really long and it not using the segment feature makes it hard to watch because the themes discussed are all over the place
Well not rlly. He first talks about the gameplay and then he talks about the story
If I remember correctly the reference about the cure being from plants has to do with changing the way the kinda broken story works so that it would still fit a certain gameplay mechanic
Gonna watch another critique video ||https://youtu.be/DLsPoJWO-e8?si=NzJTVB_ZDKMt__De||
It's only 1h
that sounds healthy
Very
Iβve seen more that a few people bringing up that the βcureβ is different in BZ. First of all, in SN you had to make a hatching enzyme, and as far as I remember that wasnβt the actual cure. The cure got produced by the emperor leviathans that hatched.
Second, the fabricator uses available items to craft things, so of course it will be things from BZ that get used and not from the main game.
From a story standpoint, there is no conflict here at all.
The peeper is comming
Lol I think I found out why. Scanner room has such large place hitbox it reaches this bruh
This base is massive help ππ
I love it
I found my final design β€οΈ
Yeah, I have similar issues with the seatruck dock, even though nothing is actually blocking it. Usually I can work around it.
Yea I had to move some sections around a lot of times. Scanner and control room need quite a bit of space
You should imagine the grid. The multipurpose room is a 3x1x3 piece.
The base (detailes including outdoor decoration and interior decoration not done as I don't want to waste time doing them in creative)
I'm hoping they split them up into smaller sections in the next game. I think it's safe to assume it will still have base building, but man would I love to not have these issues again π
π€
Alright maybe not the best comment now that I think about it π

What's int3
A vector.
There is no real surprise there, but basically a control room / scanner room is the same size as your multipurpose room.
I would assume these indicate how many "cells" a specific piece takes in all dimensions. The base system in Subnautica is build upon a grid, so to know what can be placed where they have boundaries to indicate that π
Yes. I'm missing the Seatruck dock that is an Int3(7, 1, 3) (or 3, 1, 7 depending on the orientation).
Is it 3 high or 3 wide
The middle number is the height.
Oh ok
I just explored outpost zero before getting a seaglide
π
Before even unlocking the recipe
Bz do be like that
Outpost 0 is pretty close to the lifepod tho
In games we often use 3 axis to indicate positions. They correspond to X, Y and Z. To note in specific is that the game engine Subnautica uses the "Y" is up and not the "Z" as in the image.
Not that close tbf
My lifepod spawned 300 meters from the entrance of it
Oh ok thx
So what Ignis is saying is that the X is 7 cells long, the Y is 1 cell tall and the Z is 3 cells long.*
*this depends on the orientation of how you're building a certain base piece but that's not all that important right now.
That makes sense lol
Wait is it really only one cell tall?
Technically yes.
But why is it not just 3 cells tall?
What do you even do with so much space
that is crazy
cozy though
You put plants around them. The Ignis wayβ’
yeah, plant walls are so cool
it's a pity you can't place anything on em in bz though
Well I need lots of storage, a place for giant aquarium, place for nuclear reactors and bioreactors, Dock and moon pool for obvious reasons. A little greenhouse area, bedroom, bathroom, guest room, lounge area, observatories for observing, scanner and control for obvious reasons, work station area, and so on
Have you tried combining ores together and then using the recyclator to get them when needed?
I've had half a locker worth of plasteel this way for example
which means 2 lithium and 5 titanium per slot
had a locker full of wiring kits, then a locker full of copper wire, etc.
I don't have recyclotron yet and plan to make my base b4 getting it
Also I just like decently big base filled with decoration
Since its literally the beat part of bz for me, considering the rest is kinda mid
I usually try to stick stuff in the smallest place possible while keeping it nice to look at
it's cool to see different playstyles
Combine those and have a locker full of compasses. π
I actually haven't thought of that
finished the game already, too bad
Yea definitely
Something for the next play through.
It's a pity there's no time capsules in bz
I only ever found 2 in sn
Creative said "no" to me I suppose π
probably won't replay it
it's way too long and not very linear for me
I played sn 3 times and I don't intend on replaying bz
subnautica games are a oneoff for me
I try different things each time.
The first time I messed up and decided to restart
I still felt more immersed in subnautica than in bz, most likely because of the silent protag
With how the ending went I kind of understand though π
I don't think it would add much for Below Zero specific anyway.
there could have been time capsules left by the alterra crew tho
but that wouldnt really make sense
Thatβs basically their PDAs and all the fragments left behind.
I feel like I'm trying to cram a mechanic from one game to another, it's probably better that it stayed unique to the first subnautica
the games are different sides of the same coin
Different sides of the planet at least.
the people that were on the planet are still a thing, just in different circumstances. One group lost at see and barely surviving, one group doing their job
I feel it was a good decision. The capsules are a great idea but just stuffing them into this game 'just because Subnautica had them' is a bit meh for them in specific. Maybe it could have been done in a similar fashion but I don't think a "time capsule" would make sense.
the voice logs from Bart Torgal and the degasi crew are still something that I find fascinating
yeah
Man, I somehow thought that thermal lillies had more to them than the pda
Thought that by killing organisms with the heat it could soak up the nutrients using it's roots after the prey biodegrades combined with the photosynthesis thingy it currently does
That could have been interesting.
yeah, because right now it just comes down to predator repellent when they could've evolved to also use it to prey on organisms that seek warmth
I am playing Rainbow Six Siege.
I was playing apex
L
How do i get the rebreather?
Breath air!
Data box, ||twisty bridges||
Found it!
I'm looking for mobile vehicle frags and the sheer amount of sea glide frags ive found is astronomical
16 and counting
look in monkey nests. Some are also lying in the sand in twisty, about 50m down
Should I play WITH story on vegan mode? Idk
Hey ive been recently searching for the prawn suit upgrade the one that makes you jump for longer
Anyone got any idea where that could be?
Koppa mining site
game randomly closed and set me back over 3-4hrs of work
π will be taking 5 business days to cope (yes i'm saying this in 2 chats i need people to know my despair)'\
Koppa mining site, as you've been told several times. It's the only place in the whole game where you can get it
Idk where thar us
when I started playing below zero I was streaming for my friends, when I got to the part where you see ||Marguerite for the first time I AUDIBLY gasped. it was so cool that there was another person on the planet with you (sure she's been here the whole time but you never see her in the first game) || it was sooo cool. I'm not finished with the first game yet but I'm excited to see how it plays out
Do chellis eat glow whales?
Not as far as i know
why would you ping him and the information about playtesters is in #rules
It was during our early access period and 2.0 development period, UWE activly seeks community involvement with helping better our games. "Beta testers" if you will. That was an application for it when it was open.
ill be keeping an eye out for another one
im hoping to get into the game developing myself. but idk where to lurn
@zinc void tell base location plzzzz i luv the positioning of ur base bro
You will get a alien artifact that is in the mine
can somebody tell me how to craft those
deep
somebody tell me how to craft body parts
||fabricator caverns I think you go in in the direct of the crystal cache entrance and keep going and then you find ti||
no idea where that is
oof
search up a tutorial
or wander aimlessly in the crystal caverns and hope you don't get oofed by big boi(s)
||deep crystal caves||
i just was there and i didnt see anything
i mean i scanned sum
specal crafting facilty 1000M underwater
great my prawn just exploded when it was at 100% hp
Lol
Lol how
one way to lose a prawn and so many modules
π
π
i have a kamikaze idea
i didnt save yet some progress so ill leave and itll be still there
Still it shouldn't explode immediately, crush depth damage comes slowly (or at least it's not instant for 100% hp vehicle)
Alright... Something is definitely wrong. It's either I am so blind or the quartz has renewed once again
Also what's the closest/best place to look lead? ||I'm near the bridge||
Then you're at the right place.
Or not, depending on the "bridge". :ΓΎ
Twisty Bridges?
||Retractable one that needs to be repaired||
I used "the" for reason
I'm in west arctic
Watching jellyfishes from safe distance
Well, return to the bridges instead.
You have a few in the glacial connection as well, but not many.
Where is here? Twisty Bridges or the West Arctic?
There are jellyfish everywhere really.
So probably the nearest Arctic Kelp Forest.
I found one slope that is in "safe" distance
Alright alright. So just titanium titanium until I'm safe to build seatruck bay
Have anyone ever forgot the ways around own base?
Huh lol
Let's try from the beginning. Do you have the game's map from the base on the island?
Thats important
(Looking for the prawn boost upgrade)
It's in koppa mine, by some prawn docking things
Do you have the seatruck
I just want the jet booster
Do you even have the prawn suit
You just started but you have the Prawn Suit.
No
... lol
But i need the jet booster upgrade
For what
For what
Gotta upgrade yourself first, or you will drown
you need at least: large 02 tank.Maybe two of them. Rebreather
You don't have 200IQ if you didn't unlock the Prawn Suit first.
your argument made no sense
You can have 2 o2 tanks, swap underwater. Just be sure you swap in air later, to refill both
THAT is a 120IQ strat
You can also upgrade whatever tank you currently have.
why does he only speak in audio
Dont own a keyboard
Literally like I said, you can have two Large o2 tanks with you, one equipped, then swap when it goes empty
ah
Exploiting
oh not in the least.
How much oxygen do you currently have?
To make sure you have the high capacity tank at least.
Because I don't know if that's your case.
possibly no tank at all
Real life situation: you r 200m under water, you dont have oxygen in your oxzgen tank left. You cannot simply swap it underwater
But you can.
How
I'm a diver and I can tell you I can do that.
IRL you Definitely cannot go 200m down with just tanks.
Im also a diver, i cant do that
Not the 200 meters part. :ΓΎ
So, which tank do you have? You didn't answer.
im no expert but if its possible to do normally in the game without glitches or such its not an exploit
Also, you have to understand that the Prawn Suit jet jump upgrade is useless without a Prawn Suit.
Correct
I wanna do a vegan run. But idk if i want with story
please stop bullying me
without
@mortal moth you make no sense to me, possibly a bad trolling attempt, so I will not reply anymore
Scan em in the mine
The copper mine?
windows key and prt sc (print screen button)
atleast thats one way to
The same mine you get the Jet jump upgrade from, yes. See the problem yet?
So what i need to do now
Is fill my full inventory with standart oxygen tanks
And swap them around getting down there
no
Yes
You need to get the rebreather and the high capacity tank to go deeper. Optionally a Seatruck.
play the game more
Both are in Twisty Bridges. With the oxygen plant you can swim around without needing any extra tank.
explore and find blueprints
Ive been trying to get the jet booster upgrade for aboyt 3 days now
ouch, at this point google it maybe?
Yes but the Jet Jump upgrade is something you place on a Prawn Suit.
Ye but if i get it before hand
It won't help if you don't have the Prawn Suit in the first place.
Now think about it
Okay okay
Go to the mine prepared. Scan the prawn suits. Take the upgrade. Go back. Tadaa. 2 birds wirh 1 stone
You might as well get a seatruck and more oxygen before going there and getting the upgrade and getting the prawn suit blueprint
1 trip 2 items
Exactly
Ye,so i just gotta craft alot of oxygen tanks and then try my best to get down there. Thanks guys! If i got any more trouble imma message you guys
Cya
Cya
Any tips for vega run? I think i head straight to outpost zero for plants and habitat builder
I shall infiltrate your game, hide from you and spread bacon scent
You can get early food and water from the bullseye shrooms (abundant around lifepod) and creepvine seed clusters
Thermal plants are so annoying to place I have to put in it the goldilocks spot for the diffrence of 70C and 248C without dying
Yeah, the thermal difference in just a small distance is crazy.
Doesnβt stop me from trying to place as many in a hot spot as I can though. LoL
Place the outline, then back off to complete the build from a distance. And time the eruptions if you can.
Bro no one told me if I hatched an egg and released it out in the wild it transform into its normal form I nearly got bitten by a squid shark
Brooo I got even leave my base rn I released like 6 of them thinking they would like die or something
Wait omg if I release them they turn normal size and roam around the base and donβt bite me
This changes everything
hatched squidsharks (or anything) will not attack you. Really
also in the tank, nothing attacks anything else
BRI
They donβt attack me but they attack the other creatures I put out
They have lived together in the same tank for like 30 days why do they hate each other so much
NO Crip the Cryptosuchus died from a squid shark I put out ππ
Do hatched creatures of the same kind attack each other if put out in the open water?
Creatures don't attack the same species in general.
Bro I canβt feed the squid shark if I have a fish on my hand this is bs
Well, I wasn't in that base since I finished the game back then so... I forgot there was a few floors of multipurpose rooms
Oh ok lol
Yeah hehe...
I was about to build a bioreactor... And then noticed the ladder and was "Oh, wait... Where does it go?"
And then I found two layers of multipurpose rooms... One with alien containment unit and one with bioreactor of course
Of course ACU was full of peepers for know purpose

Only thing I can say about those peepers is: Those eyeballs are so β‘powerfulβ‘

how good is sleeper module
it does let you sleep, and has a picture frame and jukebox
The more the better.
be aware more modules (from 3rd and up) lowers your speed. The horsepower upgrade counters this slowdown. That is the only thing this upgrade does
does docking module count
yes
so im gonna have 4 then
The full nerdy graph and upgrade effects
The problem isnβt even the speed itβs how to hell are you going to get anywhere with 10+ modules
it does!
man i forgot to empty my seatruck before coming here
If you're on pc you can add your own songs to playlist. Makes encounters with leviathans less scary when you can listen to your music
Then you just have music disc in game
it does speed it up
i think i got every deposit from koppa
Alright after a few hours I managed to capture the chelicerate in the cage that I built. The previous one I built was so small he couldnβt move and he got out after 20 minutes. This one he can swim a little bit. I hope he stays in.
where get horsepower
Lily pad caves in the sea monkey nests.
How!?
Patience and effort.
luring it with carrots
No. They're attracted to wheat.
minecraft
Basically I built a cage out of tubes and had one side of the cage opened. Then basically the hard bit is knocking it in. When you use the permitter defence system on the chelicirate it will run in the opposite direction. So basically Itβs like herding sheep. It can be annoying when you make it go in one direction and it just goes around the cage. I tried with one and I actually killed it from the amount of times I rammed it and electrified it. But I managed to get the 2nd one in.
more like herding cats
A cat that screams a lot and tries to tear your head off.π
But yeah Iβll update you guys if it escapes. Last time I did it with the small cage it glitched through the ground. And it actually went really deep down and nearly went into the purple crystal biome.
So I guess we will see if it does it againπ
what resources shoudl i get from deep lilypads
the small mushrooms (plant some), the glowing orbs, magnetite, nickel, 2 secret eggs
i foud a nickel in lilypads and the uhh plant used for acid
i got acid from another place
I find that the lily pad biome is best for the fragments.
deep lilypads is a different biome, aka. cotton anemone
i have used my brain and set up a beacon at the entrane so i wont be swimming around trying to find the exit and almost running out of power
my prawn is walkign on water, what the heck
nvm
Cuddlefish = free bacon for biomatter reactor
you know there is no cuddlefish in BZ
i downloaded BZ from the xbox app, do I absolutely have to sync data? cuz it takes forever, and when i was playing regular subnautica it didn't need to sync data for me to start a new save
is perhaps your C: / system drive full?
almost, it's still got 34 gigs of space. its not much but id think its enough to run the game
yes
yea thats definitely not it i just uninstalled a few games and its the same thing
I don't know how to turn off save sync on xbox, but I suspect its possible. Check game settings in xbox
2GB is enough free space on C: to play. Although being that full will hurt an SSD badly
you said it's slow, but pic says it failed. So it fails?
Your game log may help find the cause. If you send me player.log from this folder (paste this into windows+R run box):
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero\
turns out i DID have to sync my data for some reason
took a long time but It's done lol
Actually that is perfect description of cat
@cloud ledge Don't just ping random people please. Just ask your question π
ok sorry
so this is like a problem Iβve never had
I almost have all the fragments for everything
Expect the thing to convert Energy into oxygen
Like where is it β¦.
like bruh
Because Iβm trying to make base
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Energy into oxygen?
I don't think there's a tool just giving you infinite oxygen for energy.
o2 generation is built into base rooms by default
just supply power
Like u connect the solar panel to it
If you power your base you get O2
solar, or any other method
Also consider where the base is and what power source you use.
No, it's the same in subnautica. At least since 2019
Oh you guys are right
Im confused tho
Why in subnatica I need to put smth to create oxygen
just breathe in. Then out. Repeat.
Or maybe Iβm stupid
Do you mean why you need to create solar panels to get oxygen?
You didn't. At least not since release. Early access was weird
power is needed yes. That's probably what you mean
The only way to get oxygen with energy is vehicles or bases, vehicles require powercells to generate oxygen and bases generate oxygen as long as they are powered. That's all there is to it π
I mean since your base is underwater the air canβt reach o2 canβt reach it but power can make oxygen. If your base is above water and on land it will have oxygen regardless of if itβs powered or not.
Bases, any power source will do.
Then how does it give me o2 when the batteries are dead?
What does?
vehicles
A specific one?
I mean I think they do...
I collected a bunch of eggs around the world and put them in my sea truck storage. And then I disconnected and accidently hit the storage module with my seatruck and it blew upβ¦..π
It definitely does @eternal garnet
I am stupid. I just realised I could have taken out the powercells.. Here I am speeding up the game driving around until they were empty π€£
Oh yeah you can do thatπ
I had to do that so many times when I was trying to capture the leviathon
I ran out of power like 5 times lol.
Also these guys do surely know how to party on a faster speed π
They are just vibing
Damn they are built different. And not in a good way.
You can delete the data by deleting it from your xbox cloud
Bruh why is moving resources from base to base so tedious
Filled up 8 floor lockers and a few wall lockers so far
Hoarding too early can be a pain. Compress items to take up less space if you can.
I don't have the recyclotron yet but yea I could
Keep scanning artifacts, itβll pop up. Leave enough uncompressed for what you need. Or just leave some stuff behind and if you get by that spot grab another load.
Alright thx π
and a new journey begins

ive never actully finshed the story for this game cuz my old laptops couldnt handle this game but now i that i a more capable computer im dedicated to doing a first time full playthru of the game
i remeber buying this game on Early access launch with $18 worth of dimes best investment ever made
I'm not haply with bz but I am going to get all achievements and finish the game because I'm just like thst
can sea monkey still steal your seaglide?
yes. But they stop stealing early game
watch out, so that you don't end up liking it in the process
i hated that they could do that before but its been a good 2 years
remedy: quick press of E to hide your item
related: investigate any distress calls, not far, south
North is volcano and the small moon
no spoilers pls i havent play BZ since they changed the story
yup yup. This chat most of the time, will spoiler mark spoilers ||
||
Good luck
already off to a good start made it to him already
depends
prolly in the lilly pad biome
i have to find the builder tool now
omg they bring you stuff 
wow thats really pretty
ok so legitimate question how do you get the builder tool in this game?
Scan it
is it in the sea monkey dens?
It's at a|| small reinforced platform area near enough to the lifepod. Or in koppa mines, or on a land base||
you mean the one i took the beacon from .3.
If by that you mean ||delta Dock beacon|| then no its a different place
Does anyone have information on how much is left for subnautica 3?
im considering to do a seatruck-only run
is it even happening?
i didnt find the habitat builder at the two plat forms i found

does alen die (dont actually answer that if he does or any actual spoilers)
I love him he's so stupid
or well more accurately ignorant
On the way to where the distress signal was from your drop pod, there are two separate platforms in the ||twisty bridges||. Both contain data boxes with important items. One has a small tube compartment with a broken hatch, one of the hab builders is there. You only need to scan one.
There is a directory in the game path you can add them to, not sure the path offhand, might be in the wiki.
Check the pinned posts, looks like itβs there, maybe? Steps seem vague.
is there any way to auto save the game? i forgot to save for 3 hours and i progressed so much and then i come to this 
I think there is an auto save mod, but itβs a separate install. Not part of the game.
are you meant to be able to get through the exit of the ||koppa mining site|| with your seatruck
it took some wiggling but I got through with tears streaming down my face as I did not wanna go through that maze of gizers again
Yes, it does take some wiggling. Canβt have any modules attached though.
assumed so
asked bc if not that many people tried wiggling through the door and said nothing than I wanted to share my divine wisdom
||I just got the stuff for Alans skeleton|| and only now do I question where to.. put it together??
google is not helping
have you gotten this dialogue?
There is another way through the caves with thermal vents, which allows you to maybe squeeze in one or two modules in seatruck
But as for your first question, I think seatruck is not meant to fit through the main door...
I did it but only on hardcore because... i was a little baby and i didnt want to risk it all
Do you have the other parts?
nah, figured i should get them all first
Then you dont need this. Its kinda a spoiler
i only read the first line dw
back with another question tho - Im renovating my base and i have 2 multipurpose rooms stacked on top of eachother and than 2 platforms that i placed after the fact.
to get rid of the platforms it says i have to get rid of what is attached and im pretty sure thats literally my whole base. Is there any way around this?
any ideas what to build or where to build my base in my subnautica bz world?
If you want to be practical, around the center of the map. Here it's Delta Island.
Other than that, build where it pleases you the most.
I think that I will build one of my bases in fabricator caverns because this place is just beautiful
facts
I build one in tree spires
Don't build there, just don't
The best place imo is purple vents
i know but purple vents arent the best looking biome
maybe i will build base in the entrace to crystal caves
Eh
The vents are pretty cool
I build a base in the crystal caves
Near the fabricator caverns
Yeah! Crystal Caves is qn amazing spot to place a base!
Im going to build my base at the entrance to crystal caverns
wish me luck with shadow leviathan
I hate them
As much as I like below zero I think subnautica had it better with leviathans
the only leviathans in below zero that are actually scary are void chelicerate and shadow
but i still love subnautica and subnatuica bz the same
i know subnautica is scarier
Subnautica was better at least in this aspect
subnautica was scarier because we were playing the game first time
i remeber my first fight with repear leviathan
i was so scared
I dont think thats the case
bruh it was sitting right next to the ||delta station|| base
worth i died for this
Damn. Scanning a live chelicirate. Fair play.
that thing's a beak? damn i thought they were like the pincer's on a crab except times 2
base buldin like a king
its a great start cuz i already have the good stuff ready and up to go
Despite me removing 95% of the plants, I still have the same fps count
what is reducing my fps so hard
I get 120 fps when I look at normal direction but then 40 fps when at certain one
here I get lowest fps bruh
can reach a staggering 36 fps
better images
its funny how much over rescorcing can make for a good base build once i get access to it
get rekt dum cyptosuchus
I emptied most of my base and it's still low fps
biggest bug in Subnautica: Below Zero is that I can still build/deconstruct with Habitat Builder despite no battery lol
your computer cant handle the settings
So I just started a new playthrough of BZ last night, and I swear on my life last time I played the sea truck dock thing wasn't in the game
rtx 3060
ryzen 5 5600x
like what the hell
bro I dealt with Minecraft at 15 fps for months before I got a pc don't even lol
40 fps is God tier fps to me lol


but yea, prolly just sum with the game
Way to go Subnautica: Below Zero
sounds like you over did your base and now its laggin out
thats why i dont go over board with bases i just make one and thats the base i use till i get the mobile one aka seatruck
Even then I still use my stationary base
I actually got my seatruck and two modules before I built any habitat
I did build the seatruck dock tho
i want to make one of thoes
nothing more than that tho cuz I'm waiting till I get the large room
and also collect all the music
I forgot abt the music/jukebox lol
Gonna build my huge storage here

What can you possibly need so much storage for?
Yes.
If you're making big bases or outposts sure, but you will never need that many resources in an entire playthrough xD
Yea definitely. Its unnecessary but fun ig
@river skiff there's a bay area with a staircase which you can use to enter the land. There's absolutely no need to randomly climb on ice or whatever π
oh
idk where it is
ill prob find out later in the story
It looks something like this.
But basically, if you can't easily get up somewhere then you're not supposed to go there π
isnt that the island u go to to see margeret and to destroy the sattellite thing
No.
aw man i remember there were caves under the island tht took me so long to navigate through
ima have to do tht all over again
It still exists but that's not the place in the screenshot.
ill find it eventually
ive always wondered wht tht hole is in the middle of the map
also there are very little hostile leviathans
i wonder if its just a random void
I'm pretty sure the map they use on that website is outdated. It's supposed to look like this I believe.
It's mostly correct but not entirely.
I don't like the website either way, full of ads / premium features π
is there an underground biome like ilz but in below zero
ya
honestly i feel like bz is missing so much
There are underground biomes yeah. Not the same as in the first game though.
i mean like lost river
lava zone inactive lava zone
i alr know abt the lily thingy
Well, at some point they were eating a squidshark the same way.
Itβs just an area that is inaccessible
what should i do with 21 uraninite
yup yup. This chat most of the time, will spoiler mark spoilers ||
||
A bunch of reactor rods πͺ
i didnt build a reactor
Build one πͺ
i dont have water
You're welcome.
Open your eyes
drinkable water i dont have
Boom! Water!

my bioreactor doesnt have enough energy for water machine
Water filtration suit, bladderfish, bottle in chests, Water filtration machine, plants
Yup
Make 2 bioreactor πΏ
Thermal is your best bet, solar can power one if you have enough panels.
Problem with bio is you need to keep feeding it.
gel sack
Using batteries to power your base πͺπΏ
plenty of salt in kelp/grassy and infinite tube coral for bleach
i fixed my water issue
Now you could try fix your skill issue
that works
i mean i did it once without a prawn with just a flare and few thermoses
the pepper fruit also work, and they grow in some caves
The what fruit
does the full cold suit and flare equal to like 90% resistance
fevered pepper. pink fruit, blue plant
Oh
I have no numbers but it feels like 95%
note that the prawn heats you up. The bike too
flare gives 10% and full suit gives like 80%
flares actually have a use? i throw mine out lol
what r the dogs u speak
snow stalkers
ahh
i just pull my overalls up to my chest and brave it like i have no life to be concerned about
you can hold it out to both gain cold resistance and be proteced from snow stalkers
Also throw a flare on a spot where you want to pilot pengi-bot to be safe from snow stalkers (alternatively, build a small temporary base, I compartment and hatch is enough, and you will also stay warm)
how long normally does it take for Alan to give cords to the artifacts? just got the one ||In the dormant volcano|| and since i had no other story stuff to do once i got home I've just been renovating and as great as that is, its been awhile without news from the ||little man inside my head||
go explore
he gives a few signals and 1 of them leads somewhere more important and gives hints for others
ohh so exploring triggers his signals? its not a time based thing
exploring doesnt trigger signals but it helps you progress much more than sitting and doing nothing while waiting for signals
They are time based you're right, but often time based after a specific action.
He gives 6 signals for the artifacts, there are 15 on the map, and you unlock the last technology at 10.
Also, you can try to find all Alterra bases marked on the map in delta station (which you can scan and store in your pda)
im going to kill a snow stalker
Just for info, you won't get fur by killing it...
Fr
Lol
Snow stalkers are like 4 hits with a knife
#below-zero-chat message
Click on the link
Make sure you stand on the flare before you start using the remote
the flare went inside textures or somewhere else
If it rolls elsewhere, pick it up and try again
literally disappeared
Use another
Same happened to me once
I have like 8 solar pannels and a bioreactor
Should be good
Does the shark squid thing put your vehicle power to 0 when it attacks
Where should i build my base
I hate that
When it drains my power
Build wherever is convenient or that you like
My initial base is in twisty bridges near the shark cage, if you know where that is. Some like to build central so near delta, but the shark cage is close, but far enough away from the cryptos which annoy me lol. But thereβs plenty of options
Later on I build on top of the submerged rocks in lilypads
I still have my base at my droppod
Itβs a good spot for an initial base, but I wouldnβt put a lot of work into it at that spot.
Why are there 3 damn brute sharks attacking me
I've too much copper almost full floor locker of copper wire
And I've not enough lead
Nowhere near a satisfactory amount
That's the Below Zero experience!
I need it for a bunch of enamelled glass. A nuclear reactor, some other things like foundation
The Twisty Bridges and the Thermal Spires are probably your best bet.
Oh alr ill try thermal spires for more, I've been in bridges for a while
Btw what modules do yall use for prawn. I currently have the jump jet, depth ofc, thermal reactor, and grapple and drill arm. I've a slot free and idk anything else to put in so I'm guessing storage module
I always use two Storage Modules instead of a Thermal Reactor.
Don't get me wrong. The Thermal Reactor Module is great. It's just that the end game biomes are not as focused on heat ad SN's endgame biomes were.
Just dump song and folders with songs in certain folder that game will generate in C:/Users/<username>/Music. That for Windows
But I-
I didn't see that
Nah it's fine.
You would advise me to make my base where and in which biomes?
Alright for the update of holding the checiclirate in a cage. Well. He escapedπ however I believe that I can hold him. He managed to slip between a crack in the cage but I can fill it in. The only reason the cage had gaps is because Iβm on hardcore so I still have to grind materials.
Where?
two corridors gap horizontally and three corridors vertically is the minimum cage holes I think.
Definitely two storage modules. Jump module, depth, drill arm. Take the thermal out and put it in the prawn storage. Swap with the jump upgrade when you need to power up the battery and stand on a hot spot for a bit.
Why nobody doesn't care about my question ?
Anywhere near Delta island is not a mistake. Nice and central
Where ?
Oh good idea
center of that map, gray. The only real island
Anywhere near Delta island is not a mistake. Nice and central
But near it, any side you like
π

You want starter base? Tree spires has no hostile creatures and has tons of resources π
For good view ?
Only ||2 leviathan class creatures
||
Trees spires has tons of view ofc
Glacial basin underwater if I read correctly
it say glacial basin underwater. No room to build there
what is the description of the biome ?
Dangerous weather approaching that's all I hear.
π
all the shadow leviathans in my game are dead
How ?
they killed me too many times so i went in with my prawn suit and killed them all
π
used my drill arm and something else idk
it was so funny i was chasing them through the caverns
Sell it for a $4000.
