its hard to tell in the video but its REALLY loud and around the twisty bridges, it gets quieter when I go somewhere else. fr cant tell if its my base making that noise or not bc it feels like its loudest is plain open water
Is there a beacon floating nearby? Maybe you disabled the HUD icon for it?
nah the only beacons I have are delta and phi beacons
is it the delta station making that noise???
IT IS
Lol
is it?? why
I did the thing to the thing, is it gonna make that noise forever now? also I didnt notice it a little while ago?
Where do I craft the snow fox?
And where do we continue Sam story after phi robotics
I can hear you in that video but couldn't hear anything from the game... Almost sounded like music or something way in the background?
I wasn't hearing the usual game music though... Did you do anything to the audio files?
nada its deffo the game, and I turned off the game music
I'll try and take another one its hard cuz I have to record it through my headphones
Interesting. So Delta is making that sound you're hearing. I may have to try this when I get home. I always have the game music on...
I think its coming from the comunications tower tho
its incredibly loud
also thought I was hearing some kind of voice but lord knows I couldnt tell, also I tried touching things, but cant find anything to touch
(but its also just as loud right next to my underwater base as it is next to the delta tower so...who knows)
You craft it on the Snowfox Hoverpad. You can get a scan for it at Phi Robotics.
Can I drive it over water?
No, only on land
wait, when you craft stuff it gets the power percentage of the battery you used to craft it?
is this something in normal subnautica or just bz?
I'm not sure if they made this change backwards into SN or not.
Yes, no more free charging of dead batteries by crafting new tools
Or power cells..
Charger stations are fairly cheap to make at least.
And in bz you get battery charger blueprint with habitat builder
Yeah you get like so much when you scan the builder tool
i think its only like that in bz
I would need to only use it on one specific island
You can pick it up and carry it with you. And there is not too many large land areas anyway...basically only glacial basin/arctic spires
Some like to drive the snowfox, some don't...it's up to the player
It's an accomplishment. Most don't bother with it, but it is kinda fun.
Did you scan the map on the wall at phi?
Looking at the doors to Phi, head left. Can't remember the compass direction there. More to explore over there.
Does the one on delta work?
No, it's another map.
You can get it using the robot
Spy pengling
The phi one on one of the walls in phi robotics
Can’t I just kill the stalkers to get it?
Yeah but you can also take the fur when they are alive
Let me clarify. You need the spy pengling either way.
Yea
So I can’t just kill them and steal their fur?
That is correct.
I'm pretty sure the fact it still works on dead snowstalkers is an omission.
Just answer me this do I need the spy penguin do it or not?
I already answered this question.
What’s the process to getting stalker fur?
Unlock the spy pengling, craft it with its remote, drop it near snowstalkers, use the remote. Click on it with the robot.
Your second option is to find the fur in their cave.
But if you want to finish the game fully, you'll need a spy pengling anyway.
Damn
Is the map on the outside or inside?
Oh I found the map
I meant whats next after this island
Or just kill the snow stalker cause it attacked u
don't make the eternal headlight with discharged cube.
eternal headlight?
It's proper name is just headlamp.
Only item in either game if I'm right from a databox that requires ion power.
There is one in the first game as well...||neptune fuel reserve||
yea
i dont know wat happenng
Hello
i need help
Stocks = 
Sign my petition to bring back ||cyclops||
Where do build alien guy?
Deepest spot in the game except void.
more hints: ||East end of crystal caves||
Don't bother going until you have 3 parts
Ok then
What do i do though until I get more alien parts?
there will be clues, but only a beacon for one of them. Also alan speaks if you get near one
I don’t have any beacons atm
do you have skeleton, but not the other 2?
Explore, if you scan enough architect artifacts he'll give you a clue, or if you happen to be close by to a body part
I have skeleton and tissue
explore deeper
Red crystal caves
I want to finish Sam story where do I do that?
How deep is it?
it's above water
Hey react with
if you think the chirlicerlet or split mouth shrimp is an reaper lavithan wannabe
It’s on the phi robotics island?
I call it land, but yes. See if you have the map from there scanned, under info / maps. Glacial basin map
Oh it’s on there?
I hate that stupid island
This is the glacial basin map you can get ingame
Yea I have it
and you want this PDA that is missable, it's named Security Recording
This game kinda stinks ngl
incorrect
That’s in the leviathan cave area right?
yes, in the cave
Ok sick
Where do I go in frozen leviathan cave?
it's not big. screenshot is from the entrance
there are more PDAs but only this is missable
I’m just not finding any water area to find that one pda you said is important
So I just go in the ice hole?
in the cave? I don't know where you are
Oh nvm I found it
I still don’t know how Sam died though I thought it was going to be real important
Is there something I’m missing?
Collect all the PDAs, they tell the story.
I did
it's possible to cure the creature, but not at all required
How?
sam hid the cure and made a mark on the map
I see it
What do I gain from it?
just alan praise, and an extra comment in the ending
Ok then I’ll do it
clue inside the circle mark
But I still have no idea what happened to Sam will I know when I have collected everything
?
its in the easily missable pda
Wdym?
did the games entrance to the story change? I remember it being different from getting your base crushed to what now is you falling out of a ship
red arrow #below-zero-chat message
Yea I got it || did she just fall to her death?||
||Nope, she tried to blow up the cave with alien sample, security guy got involved, explosion during fight, rocks fall everyone dies. Both of them||
the bomb went off. oopsie
Im at phi robotics ||where is fl?||
nvm
nvm my nvm, It was just path finder bp
do you need prop cannon or smt
isnt my house cozy
very
Mhm very cozy just amazing senery
And Marguerite was involved
That’s sad
It did change during Early Access.
is subnautica below zero really worth it or will it kinda of be boring now since its the same as subnautica (almost)
Are torpedoes even worth making
some people say its doo doo some not it depends if you are man enough to solo your challenges with a knife only
IM A MAN
I will kill that black guy
Oh wait
I meant the black fish with the blue mouth
It isn’t the same…. But it is similar, and always has been.
I’ve never needed them.
No I've used dead batteries and gotten fully charged ones
Ok so I reloaded my game and the alarm is gone?
You sure that was below zero and not the first game? As long as I've had it below zero has always kept the battery level when crafting tools. In the first game you get fully charged tool pr power cell even with dead batteries
I remember both games doing it for me
Was it early access version of below zero?
Looks buetefull
I want a cozy house like that
Am I done with Sam story after frozen cave?
lol i just started the other day
If you've done the Marguerit part as well you're done with Sam.
Pingving.
I mean... ||Alien technology, water, oxygen, crush depth, leviathans...|| Yeah, they indeed very similar
I for sure crafted two depleted batteries into power cell in BZ
I have an amazing idea - fill al-an's ship with penglings : D
And spy penglings
And trivalves
Pengling are cuter than trivalves imo. I remember finding trivalve eggs but then i died to the worm
I didnt think they were special. Just an animal but quickly realised they were the games cuddlefishes
I got my prawn suit and tried and failed to fight the ice worm
does anybody know how to build in the void without getting chomped on?
Where do I get nickel and kyanite?
nickle from ||deep lillypad but you can get both from crystal cave||
Crystal cave is the deepest area in the game right?
Yeah the worm doesnt take damage
Shadow leviathan?
yes
How do you get those kill marks on your prawn?
Yeah, the ice worm doesn't have a hitbox or health points. After all, if it has a hit box then players can and will kill it and they didn't want that.
I am playing below zero for the first time
It's running much better than the original
Pretty cool
Ohh it's because the game is much lighter
yall do flares work on the void chelis?
Beloz zero is better than original game after all
No. They're meant to serve as a boundary for the world.
Someone is speaking to me in morse code
Uhhh
I see that the ||alien adventures|| hasn't ended yet
Heheheh... no.
do i neeed to scan a window to be able to build it? cuz I got all the way down to the void and realized I dont have the window in my build tool
yes...

its time for void death run back to my seatruck 😄
does anybody know how I would swim 300 meters up with a seaglide while being chased by 3 void chelis? hypothetically
air bladder. Super fast up motion
what if I dont have a air bladder
man i aint finding enough recourses down here to build a air bladder 😦
I've never used an airbladder
Then again I'm never in a situation where I need to go 300m for oxygen
it is now fast, really fast, or you can grab 10s of air from it
beacon was also improved from last game
does anybody know wich structures could ahve windows that i can scaan?
Gas topedos deal % of health damage, but require the target to actually stand in the posion cloud. So you might want to cage the target before going nazi death camp gas chamber on them.
delta base (probably), and the small base that has the Large o2 tank
oka
Oooh
Maybe its my charm.
Maybe its photoshop.
[Joking, don't have photoshop. Just made these in paint]
So vortex and gas is a good combo?
I do not know if vortex can keep large targets in spot
O
walls more reliable
For sure
and when you have it caged, you might as well use seatruck to apply high powered taser shots, but that would be considered torture.
why cant I scan any windows 😭
arent those unlocked by default?
Other tabs?
do you have Large o2 tank?
yeah
nope
the tiny base in twisty bridge canyon, somewhat east, exactly 120m deep
or zero base, or omega, but you don't have those
the one with building tool?
I got zero and omega but they're like 2kms away and i dont got afterburner
yes, that one
while you are there, if you don't have rebreather, same canyon but 170m
by a little crane
thats like 2km away😭
and some say the map's too small
well im pretty sure its quite literly across the entire map so kinda
Mods >:D = kill ice worm
I was kind of hoping it was a mod of some kind.
Fair enogh they would have to change the ice worm disraticly
then you have the problem of getting close to it without dying
I can't give you many details without giving away the magic behind it, I do have some ideas about what could have been done, but it would have required some work, and honestly there is not a lot of fauna in the Arctic Spires already.
Power
oh
anyone wana do multieplayer on below zero
If only there was a way to get thumpers that dont need battery swap every 5 mins
I think I only built those once and never ended up using them.
now? since 2020 it does
You can ||put Ion Batteries|| into them.
Already using them and they last laughably short time. maybe 5 mins is exaggerating, but 10-15 and its off
you have 2 storylines and one of them you'll have to piece together (if you want, it's not really necessary)
and when thumper is off, I can as much as step next to base or get stunlocked by big worm
I hope you're not just leaving them around.
I have one next to my dry land base.
Cool. You don't see a lot of bases built in the Arctic Spires too often.
"Gee, I wonder why"
I had a small one there once with a scanner. Found good stuff…
Excellent idea. Especially since there is a ton of Lithium there.
Exactly. And it was a small base but with a large room. Easy to build taking only two inventory slots.
you likely wont need all that lithium, there is plenty all over the map
ok, that is certainly a lot. whats inside?
Alien containments mostly.
Get the mod that let's you build curtains and blinds.
I don’t like the idea of mods. I’m a purist. Though a lot of them are pretty cool, with luck some similar features may work their way into the next game.
Especially more base pieces, those are so fun to play with.
Not even snap-to-grid?!
That would definitely be a great thing to see in game officially.
I started out on PS4, so got used to the games without mods. Mainly playing on my Steam Deck now though, so I could add them if I wanted.
Snap-to-grid is the only mod I use :P
can snowfox be recycled? I like the vehicle so much I'd rather recover those 1-2 titan pieces than use it.
Probably.
I think anything you can move to a locker can be recycled, assuming it was crafted.
except flares and pipes 😉
it also isn't made in the fabricator. So maybe
There are some things that can't be recycled. Flares, Torpedo Arms, and cooked/cured/watered fish.
Full list is here: https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Recyclotron
wiki agrees on "maybe"
Makes sense that items that are made in groups (flares, pipes, torpedos, etc) wouldn’t be recyclable.
Also, it would be a little weird if it could bring a fish back to life.
Can you recycle things like Spicy Fruit Salad?
I haven’t actually tried it.
I know you can recycle things like aerogel to get the plant back
So you could in theory unpack it, then grow more.
I don’t think anything organic can be recycled. I’d have to look at that list.
I know you can recycle aerogel and lubricant at least.
Interesting, ok.
For whatever reason.
Probably because you can't get an infinite amount of those materials.
You can though.
There no limit to the number creepvine clusters you can have.
Same with small fish.
Or theoretically any breedable fish.
I could've worded what I said better. The player can't exploit the recipe of aerogel because the crafting the item only produces one aerogel. Same with Lubricant.
Ah ok
Well, I’d expect it wouldn’t let you recycle flares and such unless you put five in
It you could recycle them, that is.
Would be kinda weird if you only needed to recycle one.
Donate them to me. :)
I wish I could load up more things at one time in the recyclatron. One at a time is a pain.
You can’t recycle things that come in a batch
Like pipes, or flares
Recycling a set of five would be ok, but no, cant put em in
I know
I never make pipes or flares. LoL
You can find a lot of flares for free
I want to recycle the ones I found
I leave them. Not worth my inventory.
Pipes, though, actually do have a use in BZ now lol.
USE???
What’s that then?
why would you use a perfectly good consumable 😂
Toilets and showers lol.
😂
and sink
That too
Space Plumber
I love that change to there recipes. So clever. :)
I mean, Ryley was a janitor…
It’s nice we can finally make a nice proper bathroom in BZ
But when you flush where does it go?
Uh..
We don’t question
Yeah...
No wonder those leviathans keep trying to kill us. Having to swim through our flushy water.
It’s nothing compared to what sea treaders make😅
The real question, is when you don’t use the toilet, where does it go?
🤷♂️
you can't spoil by finding stuff
It’s all about exploring. You’re good.
I found this on amazon
No money going to unknown worlds, or the artist
D:
They didn't even get credit that is messed up
BZ still has an ad when you start the game for an online store but it has no Subnautica content any longer…

They'll probably update it once they have a place to sell merchandise again.
hey uhhhh, ive been having a LOT of trouble finding table coral, ive looked around. ive slashed the weird things growing off the sides of the cliffs, the green which fades into blue. and its not dropping any table coral
ive just been looking for it for forever and cant find any, can i have some help
it's orange, on the rock walls from 50 to 150m
ight.
thanks
got little pink light spots
I call this the split mouth giant shrimp and I hate it
Kool
Hi
Hello
Nice
Reminds me of home
Coral also has green and I think blue versions, but orange disk-muushrom-that-grows-on-trees-like things are most common.
yes, but I reply appropriately for early game
The orange variant replaced the blue variant in the Twisties at one point. Which makes sense since the twisties are already a very blue biome.
I never went to deep twisties on hardcore. Im pretty sure i stippen so many stuff like going to thermal spires for gold etc i just was like. I need a base and a vehicle and upgrade and finish game
I put on some music and immediately this happened
Lol thats amazing
Thanks, also
an off-topic FORG
Oops
Just showing it since it was their profile picture as well
I3d printed nearly 100 frogs
too much, man
OOOOO
THATS
AMAZING
This is off topic but rq
We found em
you are dutch. or belgian
That’s the model I used
you dont need battery to make a repair tool?
this a bug?
it comes with a free 100% battery
I miss when crafting an item with a battery would charge it 😔
Dutch. You right
I might print it too
ok
Ok you can put the thermos in the coffe machine if you select it
So open the coffe machine and then click on you thermos
using any mods?
nope
Yeah i meant it should show ur inventory when you interact with the coffe machine
ty for the help
Its infinitely re-useablwe
it's not terribly useful. fevered peppers are. They grow on the icy land, west
The leviathans in this game aren’t as cool as in the first subnautica
I shall tell them. They shall cry a little
I find the shadow leviathan not that intimidating. It looks more goofy than terrifying after i hugged it like 20 times
The shadow leviathan with his like 6 eyes?
do you know how hard it is to cry underwater?
tbh i agree, but from the little amount of bz ive played so far they still seem cool
Ig but they are more of nuisance then a fear imo
I think the third subnautica should be focused on being scary
Really make your palms sweaty
yeah, i dont feel the fear while playing bz, but im pretty sure thats because the first game is way more survival based than bz
I think it maybe because it was more open? I remember it feeling like there was no ground under you while in zero there’s also something there
yall I build a base inn the void around 900 meters down and I ran out of power cuz i was stupid and didnt watch the rods and now im just being spawn trapped cuz i spawn in the base then i just drown what should I do
yes omg that too
Yea
But yes I really want the third subnautica to be 100% a horror game
“Subnautica nightmare” or smth
that’d be cool
i also kinda hope its more survival based as well
the first game just felt like an open world type thing with not too much lore, but bz just feels like everything you do is for lore, if that makes sense?
I just want something multiplayer
thats also real
do scanner room range upgrades stack?
if I put in 3 would it be the same range if there was 1 or what
they do stack yes
amazing
thanks
its prolly better to put in 4 ig its better to wait longer and not waste a spot for it to be quicker
more cool seatruck protection module moment
Guys should i buy bz?
Give me reasons why bcs i think i wont like it
did you like subnautica
Yes
then you'll most likely like bz
hooray
im playing it rn and I love it
Note: When buying BZ on steam, if you own the original game, get the Subnautica bundle instead. Steam will charge you only for games you do not own yet (BZ) and give you a bundle discount on top of it.
i already bought BZ
its still downloadingg
If you want to save half a dollar and dont mind waiting, you can always return it and get the bundle instead.
otherwise, enjoy the game
half a dollar?
im not waiting for that
thank you!
Bundle gives extra 10% on purchase, folks.
and items you won are automatically subtracted
[sorry for local currencies]
Extra 10% off on the bundle, and if you own any of the games you only pay for ones you do not have 😉
guess that will be around a dollar for us folks
I mean, you get the soundtracks...
already own both games (wihtout soundtracks), so that was the only bundle I can show. Had to use incognito to make steam show me the price of both games bundle.

Sometimes its cheaper to buy bundle with items you dont want (selected dlc) than buying them individually.
You could try to go to q vehicle really fast or tp to somewhere. Tp'ing disables achievements tho...
Got any plants? build a bioreactor and drop some fruit inside?
Dunno of theres plants in the void
If he has a base with nukes, he most likely has something to eat there as well.
didnt bring build gun?
i did
but not enough materials for a bioreactor
if I throw my baby pengling will it distract the leviathans enough for me to get up?
you will drown before surfacing
I got 2 air tanks
no vehicles?
outside as you can swim to it, or at the surface?
well not surface
but outside the void
this si the second time this happened bruh for some reason the only stuff I brought was a baby pengling i forgot to put down😭
I really got learn ma lessons 😦
I guess solar cells wont cheat system enough to get air going?
Do you have a backup of your save?
backup, as 'manually copied the save files into another folder'
if you do not have backup, make one now.
well like im stuck in the base rn so if I make a backup wont I still be stuck down here?
if only stasis rifles existed
yes, you will be stuck. but do a backup anyway in case whatever you try next screws you up more
did you try the unstuck option?
alr ill try it
it just teleported me back to my base 😭
im gonna try to evade the leviathans for 900 meters and get back to the truck 😦
any walls nearby? hug the wall
is there any weapon I can use to fight a leviathan or is a butter knife my only option
No there isn't, since that's not an intended mechanic.
Survival knives are likely your only option.
Aside from ramming things with the Seatruck.
prawn suit?
er. True you aren't meant to kill them, but fastest are: truck bumps, prawn punch + grapple
yeah but you can kill anything besides from the leviathans with a seatruck
if your good enough maybe even a leviathan
You could, just repair it.
You don't even think you need grapple, all hostile, killable leviathans are ones that grab you iirc.
graple is used to ctick to them outside their grab range
save?
yuh
Well, yeah, but you can double the damage with two arms.
you do no damage when leviathan swoims away
True, but that's when you repair.
but you could always do it the cool way and build a cage using tubes and punch them outside of their range >:)
Or just do it my way.
use gas torpedos
those exists?
Build a really cool base with them gliding overhead, then accidentally kill them with base collision damage.
Yup, made with crystalline sulfur this time iirc.
wb vortex ones do those exist? ive never used either torpedos before
Back in my day a propulsion cannon and a crash fish was the perfect weapon
but ngl not alot of animals is gonna survive a speeding truck
oo does this game have harder protection armor like in last game
potentially cheaty tech question - at what distance game unloads terrain features? want to use gravball to pull things stuck in the landscape
What do you mean?
I don't believe there was armor in SN1.
reinforced suit
I'd imagine you might be able to change it in settings?
Not sure though.
You could always go really far, and then come back later.
Prop cannon is so much worse than gravball.
Just managed to kill myself while moving ice blocks...
is there a way to force build a room even if its blocked by smth?
snap builder mod allows that
yes, you can remove the mod and the building stays.
Prop cannon is amazing, wdym?
what do you mean by 'normal game'?
It can farm super well.
Without mods, I'd assume
idk just a game I started before having the mod
farm?
mods can be added at any time
Like, pick up quartz, rubies, etc.
From a distance.
it can break outcrops too.
Pick up, launch at wall, pick up resource, stow in inventory.
Ok I'll probably keep the mod it seem handy
You can put any item in the beam into your inventory if it's small enough, and if it's an actual item.
It cannot pick up resources when game thinks you dont have line of sight, which happens awfully often. Gravball on other hand allows you to grab resources from inside walls.
I've only used it to launch flares at leviathans, didn't do much dmg
Do I need to enable this or is it by default after installing the mod?
you should be getting a popup on screen saying which button to press to disable collision check
when building
okay I'll try thanks ❤️
snap to grid is also nice for building things evenly
But at the same time, there aren't a ton of sitation you need to pick up thing from behind walls. I've never run into a prop cannon issue with line of sight either.
yep I'll keep it
I alwaus loose so much time trying to make them smoothly aligned
the fish won't mind
Or will they? 
example: cannot be grabbed by prop cannon, hand or prawn arms
Yes, but you can always find more.
I think you were trying to clear out the map, but most people aren’t trying to do that.
I am literally picking the last 10 lithium on the map now
Awesome, lol.
I was just pointing out that most people aren’t focused on clearing the whole map, and finding a bit of lithium elsewhere often is enough.
exhibit 2: grav ball moved them
My point is - gravball can grab ores that got stuck while prop cannon cannot. And in 90% of situations, you can grab the ore you need prop cannon for using grav ball.
For example, the one in phi robotics cave. there are magnetite on ceiling. normally you are supposed to come back later after unlocking prop cannon. Or you can climb the fallen ice block, drop grav ball against wall and presto, magnetite drops at your head
grav balls grab ores?!?!?
Yup!
I get your point, makes sense.
crazy also is that a lithium ore vain I seee? where do you find those
they are also 100 times safer than prop cannon. guess why my hp is 30% in the screens
No clue.
prop cannon. while moving ice piece
I see
do those water bears respawn after killing them or are they just dead forever
image of the thing in question will be helpful
isw there any land entrance to ||omega base|| or can you only enter from the water
crocodiles if you need similar earth animal. they respawn indefinitely
nah they big like bears and live in water (not reffering to those micro water bears)
there are actual bears on the land
aren't they technically polar bears?
what is the direction of the ventgarden thing from delta station?
directly south
tysm
leviathans and sharks stay killed. rest comes back
I'm wearing one
same materials to craft it or is it changed
Roughly the same iirc
Synthetic Fiber isn’t made the same way.
No Blood Kelp in BZ.
is it possible to build in ventgardens?
inside? only with mod override
oh alr
and also if I release stuff like squidsharks inside a ventgarden will they escape?
have not tried such shenanigans. let us know if that works. also remember squidshark eggs are limited so you need to keep at least one breeding pair
haha so you see the funny thing is I accidently released the other one besides my base 🙂
WAIT, leviathans and squidsharks don't respawn?
recently beat the game im planning on doing some shenanigans
uh one last question if i have 2 squidsharks in the wild will they breed?
According to Ignis, sharks stay dead. leviathans also stay dead as common community knowledge
no, only in aquarium
nope, once released, cant pick them up
missing the chance to create a squidhsark army to terrorize the ecosystem would be very sad
if you finished the game and got achievements, feel free to use cheat commands to spawn yourself some eggs
the frozen one, yes
it gives you an chievement. and an extra dialogue line at end of game
you get an alan comment, and a little extra feelgood in the ending
not good enough?
In my times, we aint got any 'chievements, all we got was an end credits on a game, if we even finished it!
Is it one of these? Doesn't seem so
yeah but at least we got time capsules back in the good times 😦
check setting page for keybinding then
try pressing F
does anybody know of some funny shenanigans I can do in this game? i spent like 14 dollas i wanna get the most out of it
I don't think it doesn anything 🤔
just play it XD
already finished it
oh
and the map is kinda small so i cant just drive around looking for cool stuff
Maybe you need an older version. I have "Building tweaks" v 3.0.1000 by MrPurple from march 2022
what is Building tweaks? I don't find it by searching mods
I got it from author building page here: https://github.com/SubnauticaModding/Purples-Mods/releases/tag/3.26.2022
Oh, just realized its a diff mod than snap builder, my bad.
Full override allows building anywhere, including moonpools on land or through the walls.
ofc being able to build through the wall does not mean you can walk through the wall inside the building.
you will need qmod mnager I think. Ask in mod discord for details.
please do. I got the mod, but I have no idea how I made it work
I feel they are more beautiful. Pasting some evidence
I think they are very beautiful but I see the argument of maybe less diversity, I feel like BZ is a little harder to navigate
this
the first game feels more of an open kinda survival game compared to the super lore-based bz
but i still think the biomes are very pretty, just more closed if that makes sense?
but I feel its way too shallow cuz I think the deepest area in the game is only like 700 meters
ngl im still very early in the game but idk what to do 😭
Stop comparing to SN, this is a different game
well, to get things started, go south (away from the volcano), and find the distress call
yes exactly, its been a lot harder for me to note my landmarks despite having the compass. its still incredibly fun though but imo much harder- not a bad thing though, deffo not boring
alot of early game stuff are in caves so its good to explore them
yeah exactly, like ive been saying, its just sm more lore based
yeah, i just need stuff for a seamoth or whatever the vehicles are in this one 😭 i havent been able to find much yet
Guys what shouls i do ay the start?
I habe the seaglide and some other stuff but thats it
Explore everywhere. Save often. To get things started, go south (away from the volcano), and find the distress call. Find sea truck parts.
yes exactly, I meant diversity, not the fact that they are not beautiful
I feel like there's maybe 4 or 5 beautiful / interesting biomes
and the bigger part of the biomes / spots which are very basic like just grey ground
I made it 😂 Thanks a lot for your help and your advice, I'll keep those mods they will be very handy!
I'm happy with the lore / more scenario based game
scenario is very important to me, so original game felt really lonely and I was griping myself to the pod logs to build the story, but the game kept me hanging for hundred of hours despite that really discrete story because the world was amazing to explore slowly
(the fact that we don't have a map makes it super immersive and takes much longer)
Yeah I agree I was kinda sad regarding this
There's very few deep spots (only the caves), and that's what was super exciting in the original game, to be able to slowly go deeper and deeper and explore more and more unkown places
In BZ that step was reached very fast
(Very probably having the experience of the first game made it much faster though, and playing BZ without having played the first one probably could give a similar experience as the one I described regarding depth)
(I haven't explored everything on the surface though atm)
bacon bacon bacon
I haven't used them at all in the first game except for my base 😂
subnautica below zero was a lazy game with lack of original creatures and opened space. I was extremely dissapointed with how the story played out.
I had the locations noted in a notepad lmao
some of them
idk why I didn't used bacon I was stupid
so when I didn't saved the location coordinates I was always searching for hours for places I found previously and sometimes couldn't find it again
rip cyclops & seamoth
How do i get the distress call ifni cant find the radio tower
it's not from the tower
But i didnt get one
ykw thats fair. im not upset with the lore or anything, i just feel more trapped? like with the first one i could just go for a long time until the void but bz is more closed? if that makes sense lol
yep I feel same ^^
pulse, squidsharks, and music is a match made in heaven
when I reached the void I was like "wait.. that's it?? okay.."
💔💔💔
honestly I like below zero better than original. I think, while subnauticas story takes longer, there is a lot more story in below zero
also i love the idea of people getting high off of this
below zero is genuinely one of the most beautiful games i ever played
yes omg i got this ss earlier when it was thundering and the sun was rising
i love the first game for the actual gameplay, but bz definitely more beautiful
tho i like bz so far, im just not far in it
It makes you do objectives rather than doing things at your own pace.
to each their own
There’s only one real objective to complete the game. Everything else is optional, and there’s no hard timeline to actually finish.
Take as long as you want, explore and build as much as you like.
yall im kinda confused by the ||robins sister sidequest cuz i dont think the game ever tells you how she dies. from what i can remember the game says that marguerite blows the cave up and nothing else about the sister||
You need to go to the other base
The one the game never mandates you go to
That'll explain what went on somewhat
Well them you remember wrong. ||Robin blows up the cave at phi excavation site. Marguerit blows up Omega lab||
If you mean the Sea Truck, ||lots in the twisty bridges, especially deep further south. Also in the purple vents area to the east||.
For prawn suit, ||best bet is the Koppa mine.||
Why have I not seen as much of below zero as normal subnautica?
The one person I don't miss a vid of, didn't even finish it.
It got a bad reputation early on while the story and game were still being developed for various reasons, and some of those early folks never went back after the release.
How dare they make a game that wasn’t identical to the first…. LoL
game not as spooky, faster paced, has a lot of dialog. as a viewer you have a quite different experience i think, maybe that makes ppl not invested in letsplays
Theres some pda's at the || frozen leviathan cave || that will explain like everything. Be durr to find em all
I installed a seatruck docking station and its using up all my power even though i have 2 bioreactors
what should i do?
Build a nuclear reactor.
What are you using for bioreactor fuel?
fish
If your base is close to the surface you can place solar panels, or around heat areas the thermal plants.
Fish should be good. I don't know the BZ numbers though, haven't actually used the bioreactor in this one.
ig the docking station just uses huge amounts of power
i guess im gonna have to deconstruct it
It repairs and charges, so it probably will only be power-hungry right when you return from an outing
thats what i thought
i’ll wait a bit then
im at 87/1000 power rn and its only going down
That said I'm not an expert on BZ's power systems. If you have the control room you can always use that to disable it's power when you don't need it
The power works the same way as in SN1.
So I guess you are not an expert in the power system from both Subnautica games.
is that you in your profile picture
The power rate is fixed, on bioreactors it's 0.833 per reactor. If I advised you to make a nuclear reactor, it's because the input rate from one reactor is 4.16 energy per second.
The one thing I don't know is repair power usage across both games (which includes seatruck dock). I'd assume it's the same as a repair tool though.
i just made a 3rd bioreactor and my problem was fixed
Anyone know if they ever plan to give us a way to open the closed doors in the mine?
The rate isn’t as much an issue as your overall capacity. If your bio reactors were low when you docked you’re not going to catch up until the truck is charged.
Echoing Ignis that solar and thermal are a great way to go, when you’re away from the base when you come back you should generally be back at full power.
I ‘think’ there may have been a way to the other side in Early Access, but it was sealed off before the game shipped and no way in now.
Occasionally some resources will still spawn there that you can’t get to, which is annoying.
Repair is kinda light on power usage as far as I recall.
That it is. Hope they give us a way someday I mean I know they still work on the game from time to time as when I first played it they didn't have the truck dock that they do now
Repairing doesn't consume power.
Don’t count on that, unless it’s causing a crash it probably won’t get fixed. All major efforts are going into the next game from what I’ve heard.
Repairing from the Seatruck dock I meant.
Interesting, I assumed it would use some small bit.
Can't wait for the third one to come out from what I heard it might be multiplayer
That’s a rumor as far as I know, it hasn’t been confirmed by the developers.
: D
Cool
the enemy of god is against me
this is hilarious. F
why is this red?
i have all the parts
do i need foundations?
just let me build it 😭 😭 😭
Maybe some terrain blocking?
no
Although it should mark yellow what's blocking
have you tried building a corridor and then the dock
Maybe try building the dock just a little more left? Sometimes the connections take some length🤷🏻♂️
probably a hitbox problem
yea docking station is so stupid with its requirements to place it down
hit box scale seems to be enlarged
OH NO
reinforcements time
turns out those foundations werent useless
Yes, it should have worked from that screenshot, but adding the corridor almost always fixes it. Bonus that you get two more spots for reinforcements or windows.
i like building my seatruck dock connected to a moonpool
Actually looking the second screenshot (with foundations), it was probably the hitbox collision with multipurpose room
Close by at least to dock the prawn for recharge.
wouldnt it have been yellow then?
are there any good content mods for BZ?
It has very large hitbox. and multiroom has a big square hitbox too. consider them at least 1.5x1.5 foundations big.
Innocent question: are seatruck modules paintable? Do they keep their color once disconnected?
They aren't unfortunately, unless I went without knowing for so long haha
is there a major difference between single grapling hook and double hooks? Does it allow you to climb walls or something?
Pls split screen
Checking in
Idk. It also doesnt really feel special underwater with 2 graopling hooks. Might be good on land like you asked
Yeah dunno if thats gonna happen
screen broke in half, now what
Did u guys and gals see that a Waterworld was discovered in real life?
No crap
And not far
Well far. 100ly
I guess back to the grapplers?
Lol
I want attention lol
Describe
ok, I describe:
Just watched a Lilly Paddler get annihilated by a spike trap 😔
That happens sometimes in the deep lilypads cave
LOVELY.
Yay
Me when my habitat floods: "GET THE CAMERA!"
I have my priorities
Really enjoying this game so far wish there was coop though also not sure if there is a way to follow the story somehow keep loosing my steps lol
Idk
can you add foundations after building the rooms 😂 ?
Can you teleport back and forth from and to 2 places with 2 teleportation modules?
ok this looks liek the only way https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero/mods/92
yes
no
do you guys reccomend below zero
yeah
Well, you can do it once. You teleport to the oldest powered teleportation module (according to wiki, haven't tested myself). So first you have to have your oldest teleportation module attached to a seatruck cabin in a place where you want to teleport to. Then you move around in another seatruck with the second built teleportation module. When you use the tether tool, you get to the oldest teleportation module. Then you detach that from the cabin, so the module is not powered, and now using tether tool brings you back to the second teleportation module (which is now oldest powered module). But then you cannot teleport back to the oldest one until it's again attached to cabin to have power.
wahh i'm wondering if i should replay below zero. i never got 'til the end because i got stuck but the original stays one of my favorite games ever
Do it
its so good

might liveblog my playthrough here if i do so!
yes omg you should
ive been meaning to play since i just finished the first game, but i havent got that far 😭 ive also been playing sdv lol
totally do it
@thorn compass if you get stuck I can help! Lol I've completed it before
im going to try beat subnautica bz without this cheats this time
gonna take a break before finishing my hardcore subnautica run for a 4th time
4TH TIME?
Why isn’t my power extending from there to the observation room?
Where is your observatory supposed to be?
Maybe they are too far apart and count as separate bases...build them closer if you want to share power (or build something between them to make them count as same base)
On the screen
Ok then
I don't see it.
On the right
I just bought below zero 🔥🔥🔥
Little space too lazy to move
Understandable, I wouldn't choose to make a base in the shallows.
Each time I was testing something related to the base I used a macro to go in the West Arctic, there is more space there.
Too late now
What’s the best power source?
Nuclear reactor.
Okay nice thank you
hello
Do the rods last long? Or do you have to get uraninite like every hour or smthng
Does the prawn suit depth module mark 3 not exist?
The time depends on your usage.
Nope
Ok nice
One rod is 20k energy.
But with a lot of water filtration machines, since the producing rate of a reactor is 4.16 energy / second, that make 4807.XX seconds.
So one hour, twenty minutes.
Does the sea truck have no form of defence?
It has the perimeter defense.
You smart
Which is free and overpowered.
The taser shock thing
Overpowered because both leviathans have a grab animation. And using it makes them release your vehicle directly.
How do I get?
If you do the optional story, you'll get it.
You could miss it of course, but if you are attentive, you won't.
Sam story?
It's related. ||Marguerit has it.||
What do I do?
After green house
If you went there you probably missed it. It's in ||her base||.
Underwater base?
I believe it can roll on the floor. Pushed when ||Preston attacks you||.
At some point it used to do that at least.
Yes.
anyone know where to find the jet booster?
bz looks pretty af
Koppa mining site, near prawn fragments
where exactly?
in there
near those prawn fragments
it is sticking out from that panel
sea monkey nests, lilypad biome
Should i try beating the sbz with hardest modifiers?
Yes.
Do chelicerates attack the Sea Truck if you're not in it?
no-one has done that yet. or i can't find any kind of evidence
i have tried that 2 times
pretty long time ago
but i want to try again
it would be Hardcore with 10x damage multiplyer.
Hope you enjoy it
(its still donlowding this takes forever ;-;)
Worth the wait
Nooo 😔
If that can ease your mind, they respawn.
dumb question but where do i build this 😭
indoors
In your habitat?
builder tool
ohh crap i forgot 😭 tyty
Completed Below Zero and 100% on my first playthrough

nice!
i hope to but i also dont care tooooo much
subnautica is the first game ive 100% completed on steam 😭
I am just happy I Completed it
yeah I found this that's a bummer
why does your game look like a concept art XD
how can I help you?
seamoth => seatruck base
cyclops => rip (seatruck extensions)
prawn suit =>prawn suit
+snowfox
sea truck base? Se truck extesion>
the basic truck. It can extend on the back
ik
but its nothing comperd to a seamoth and cyclpos
