[steel stream]

The other missing achievement could then be cold suit or snowfox?

[real wasp]

no its the jukebox 😭

i forgot to make one during my playthrough

[steel stream]

Glad you figured it out

[real wasp]

honestly sad bc i feel like it would have been cool

but i will go back and do it tmrw

[sacred jungle]

||its in a cave||

||its marked on the phi robotics map||

[azure ginkgo]

Do you have the penquin robot

[carmine bobcat]

There are 2 PDA entries about it, one is voiced, the other is a map

[viral badger]

does anyone know where snow stalkers are 😭 i cant find them

[lime grove]

glacial basin

[eternal garnet]

roughly this, from memory

[viral badger]

thanks

[ruby tendon]

where is ||the facility in the red crystal area? i have benn searching but cannot find it||

[eternal garnet]

||bottom, 960m. Go sort of northeast||

[ruby tendon]

do you know from here where i go?

[eternal garnet]

not sure but looks like down, so behind you

[ruby tendon]

behind is the end of the cave

[eternal garnet]

you left out compass. Go north-east

[ruby tendon]

it stops here

[eternal garnet]

Map of both crystal caves

so it's possible to be too north-east

[ruby tendon]

yes, i must be on the top right

[eternal garnet]

again, it's the deepest spot

[ruby tendon]

is that it?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[sacred jungle]

Wait you can use a seaglide in seatruck

[eternal garnet]

for the map, sure. If you are not driving. So you need one module

[sacred jungle]

When i was messing around with console commands i almost blew up my ps4 and i died to crash fish

Then i respawned in the seatruck

WITHOUT MODULES

IT IS POSSIBLE

[eternal garnet]

it should handle full load. But if it's dusty inside, it might not

[sacred jungle]

Like i could walk around

[eternal garnet]

yes, dying is another way. Hardly convenient

[sacred jungle]

And look around

Just act like a peeper and swim through bases

[eternal garnet]

Dust reduces cooling efficiency. This haunts laptops also

they need cleaning, inside. Air duster can is the easiest way

[sacred jungle]

I might do that

Just afraid im gonna break it

I mean.

[eternal garnet]

or, bring 2 modules. There is no speed penalty with 2.

[sacred jungle]

It was 99 crashfish

[eternal garnet]

oh, 99 explosions then

ha

[sacred jungle]

I was like 10 minutes stuck figuring out how to spawn modules instead of doing no materials needed and spanning vehicle bay

I spawned a seatruck in my lifepod

It looked like he was having a fun time

[eternal garnet]

of course you did

[sacred jungle]

Not spazzing out or anything

[ruby tendon]

||I went east to find marguerit greenhouse but i found a architect satelite, should i go more east for marguerit?||

[bold monolith]

Southeast yes.

[cosmic drum]

subnautica multiplayer when

[warped cypress]

Never

[clever crow]

when the devs push the "add multiplayer" button

[warped cypress]

Which is locked behind multiple gates, boxes, bars, and other defenses

[eternal garnet]

ah yes, just a button push

[warped cypress]

People say add multiplayer
To say add multiplayer

But think about it
Would multiplayer be good for a game like Subnautica

[clever crow]

(nuh uh)

[ruby tendon]

How do|| the tether tool charge||?

[bold monolith]

You use an ion cube, one ion cube can teleport you three times.

That's it.

[chrome cedar]

You crash land on an alien world and are the sole survivor…. Take your team out and survive, build trading outposts, and battle other sole survivors.

[eternal garnet]

multiplayer doesn't have to be battle. Coop could work here

this isn't a shooter

[viral badger]

fr

[chrome cedar]

Just saying, being alone on an alien world doesn’t work when you have multiplayer. The entire premise of the game would have to change to make that work.

[silver olive]

What's the command to go to ||IceWorm Debug Zone||

[eternal garnet]

try: goto icewormdebugarea

[silver olive]

Howd you get the spawn command to work I couldnt get it to

where are the signs for debug ice worm

[bold monolith]

The debug area is gone in the current update.

[next current]

Nopesies.

[silver olive]

that sucks

[carmine bobcat]

Does Ultra High Capacity tank still slow you down?

[next current]

Yeah.

[carmine bobcat]

Is there a Lightweight Capacity Tank here?

[next current]

I think seaglide overrides the penalty.

[chrome cedar]

I didn’t think it did?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes, but you know how Andy is

[next current]

No. There is a Booster Tank that gives the player a speed boost for an increased oxygen usage.

[next current]

I get that.

[carmine bobcat]

Okay, okay

Is there Ultra Glide fins?

[next current]

No.

[carmine bobcat]

Cause I got the blueprints for Swimcharge and I think they are absolutely disgusting

Horrifying material, right there

[chrome cedar]

Everyone’s a fashion critic…

[carmine bobcat]

Well, I can give you the reason why I dislike swimcharge

It's a very solid reason

[chrome cedar]

Drumroll…

[carmine bobcat]

Because it gives 0 speed boost

Regular fins make you faster

[chrome cedar]

No such thing as free energy

Makes sense though.

[carmine bobcat]

You don't recyclotron the repair tool?

[chrome cedar]

That’s a quantum thing, all bets are off.

[next current]

No way.

[chrome cedar]

I’m sure some planet out there loses energy every time I use it.

[carmine bobcat]

In a parallel universe: People use a battery to craft the repair tool, and it comes without it

[chrome cedar]

[next current]

I am a man who plays fair and square.

[carmine bobcat]

Batteries are cylindrical.

[next current]

You have moved down on my favorite people(s) list.

[carmine bobcat]

I am deeply sorry for all the damage I've caused

[next current]

Apology accepted.

[carmine bobcat]

During my absence, I have made a garden with ribbon plants. No more recyclotron.

[viral badger]

nuh uh (eats it)

[carmine bobcat]

yuh uh (plants it again)

[next current]

Mutes for being rude.

[viral badger]

(eats the whole planet) :3

[viral badger]

😔😔😔💔💔

[next current]

I'm sorry.

[carmine bobcat]

How am I gonna financially recover from this? You ate my job and my savings

[viral badger]

teehee!!!

got silly mb

[next current]

Go work at Alterra.

[carmine bobcat]

Yes sir

Uhhh I lost my Seatruck modules! 👨

[next current]

How? They have a beacon attached to them.

[carmine bobcat]

PoV: Slicey did not get the reference

[viral badger]

my new pc arrived earlier and all i wanna do is play bz 😔 but i gotta install other things first

[next current]

I did not.

[next current]

Well hurry! You only got so much daylight left.

[carmine bobcat]

Fred lost his Seatruck modules, several times. That's why I put the moustache emoji

[next current]

I see.

Gonna be honest, I haven't played BZ in a hot while.

[carmine bobcat]

You should, it's kinda chill

[next current]

I have too many hours on BZ.

Like almost 1.4k hours.

[viral badger]

ive been wanting to play it more, but my laptop couldnt run it the best, but now i have my pc so once im done downloading everything else im gonna play all night fr

(except i cant bc im going to my aunts as an early thanksgiving tmr 😔)

[viral badger]

wth 😭

thats crazy tbh (thats gonna be me)

[next current]

I played a lot of the early access. 😅

[viral badger]

ah, fair enough

back in november i played the first game for the first time (on my friends account), then during christmas i bought both games. i just finished the first game around a month ago maybe? then ive been playing bz a little since

im trying not to google too much though, or watch anything abt bz because i did that with the first game and nothing was a surprise yk

[next current]

I get that. I hate getting spoiled.

[viral badger]

yeah, so im really just trying to do everything i can on my own for bz unless i need to ask smth

[carmine bobcat]

Is it just me, or is there an unusually low ammount of plantable sea flora in this game

[next current]

That's fair. Although in terms of story, the game gives you all the clues you need to get through the game without needing help.

[carmine bobcat]

I am almost sure I'm forgetting something

Slicey can you help?

[next current]

That's fair. Not a lot of decorative plants.

[carmine bobcat]

I've only got this

Am I missing something?

(I hope I am)

[next current]

That looks to be everything.

[carmine bobcat]

Odd

[next current]

Although you can also plant creepvine samples to get cluster-less kelp.

[carmine bobcat]

Yep, just finished adding the sample

And another thing

What's up with my sharks?

[next current]

Wait.

[carmine bobcat]

They layed 2 eggs and then stopped

[next current]

You're missing the hardy cave bush.

[carmine bobcat]

Going after it rn

I think I remember seeing it somewhere

[next current]

Try the Thermal Spires.

[carmine bobcat]

Sure, Slicey, I definitely know the names of the biomes. I'm going to Koppa, maybe I'll find something on the way

[next current]

The biome with the Thermal Spires. You know. The geological formations that you can scan.

[carmine bobcat]

Found it + weird alien thingy

[next current]

Oh?

Is it the ||Mineral distillery||?

[carmine bobcat]

Mineral Distillery

[next current]

Yeah...

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

This syncronization between us, Ghost

[next current]

We are clearly friends. 😏

[carmine bobcat]

Yea, totally

[carmine bobcat]

I returned home to see 2 more eggs

[chrome cedar]

I had time to do a test just now with the Seaglide, and having a standard O2 tank equipped and unequipped. I saw no difference in speed traveling 265m, time was about 35 seconds either way. High capacity tank should be the same way as they are the same dimensions. Ultra tank I’m fairly sure will slow you down a small bit.

[eternal garnet]

F1 screen has your actual speed

[carmine bobcat]

Do released squidsharks attack vehicles?

Had problems with crabsquids biting my prawn, I wonder if that problem is still a thing

[next current]

I don't think so.

[chrome cedar]

No keyboard right now with my Steam deck.

[regal flower]

came up with a really cool base concept
its so expensive tho
9 multipurpose rooms, 6 large rooms, a scanner and a LOT of compartments
and 3 moonpools

easily my biggest ever

those 3 rooms in front are gonna be all reinforcements

but im pretty sure ill need more

the plan is to head to STP to gather all the lithium i need, then go to crash site and fill my cyclops with a ton of titanium, then drill for quartz

reapers might get annoying but if i keep track of them and get out to blast them with a stasis rifle they shoulnt be an issue

[jolly nebula]

wrong channel my guy

[regal flower]

wgops

[jolly nebula]

cool base though

[regal flower]

thought this was awesome bases

thanks

[jolly nebula]

its nice to see bases with sunlight

as i live in the void

[chrome cedar]

I’ve used more resources in survival plays. Busy work, but well worth it.

[lament crystal]

Wtf

🥶🥶

[hard gate]

Does anybody have a map of the ||crystal caves||?

[livid saffron]

Hello

[hard gate]

I can't be bothered to navigate them on my own again

[azure ginkgo]

#🏠awesome-bases

[carmine bobcat]

is the game laggy for you because of such a big base ?

[ruby tendon]

#below-zero-chat message

[hasty linden]

the aquariums have a limit to how many entities can be in there at once

[hasty linden]

and the epic graphics

see dem crazy textures

[bold monolith]

It does not.

Sorry aquarium.

I read alien containment. It's true there is a breeding limit on alien containements though. Depending on how big the creature is in the inventory. But it isn't a creature limit.

[carmine bobcat]

I have 6 squidsharks. Is that it?

[bold monolith]

One is 3x3 right? Then in the multipurpose room the you'll reach the breeding limit with 4.

[carmine bobcat]

Yes, 3x3

It's a large room

[bold monolith]

The max capacity is 18 in the large room.

[carmine bobcat]

So 18 squidsharks??

[bold monolith]

No, since it's 3x3.

[carmine bobcat]

No

2 squidsharks

[bold monolith]

No.

It's the X*Y part.

[carmine bobcat]

Ohhhhh

[bold monolith]

So a squidshark is 3.

[carmine bobcat]

Mind blown, thanks Ignis

I think 6 sharkies is enough

[bold monolith]

6*3 = 18. Note that the breeding limit is calculated before the egg.

[carmine bobcat]

Do they attack vehicles? Like the tendrils and such

[bold monolith]

Yes.

Alien containement creatures are friendly to the player, not the player's vehicles.

[carmine bobcat]

Yea... crabsquid problem

It's fine

Thanks for all the clarification, Ignis

[carmine bobcat]

Gardening is so much harder here

[bold monolith]

There aren't many plants if that's what you mean.

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

I really wish we could plant Luna/lung plants, or the weird purple cases in the starting area

[bold monolith]

They kind of rushed the growing part in this game. Probably because it needed art for the seeds as well.

[carmine bobcat]

The egg part is amazing though

Every non-leviathan is breedable, except stalkers, skyrays and trivalves

That's really great

Well, it's okay, I think I did a good job with the garden anyway

I'll send some pics later

[chrome cedar]

Could have borrowed a few more from the first game. Oh well.

[regal flower]

not really, it would have to be way bigger

the reason big bases cause lag is because the game has to keep recalculating hull integrity

[sacred jungle]

My base started lagging when i had 3 acu's

Like bruh

[regal flower]

acu’s?

[sacred jungle]

Alien containment unit

B I G a q u a r i u m

[regal flower]

oh mb

[sacred jungle]

Np

[regal flower]

never saw it abbreviated

[sacred jungle]

Yeah idk what that means

[carmine bobcat]

How can we help?

You can either use the perimeter defense unit, or with your prawn, dodge its attacks and go between crystals

It swims away after it attacks, so make sure to repair your vehicles after the attack

[delicate haven]

is it invisible?

if so, wrong game #subnautica-chat

[carmine bobcat]

What are you thinking of?

[delicate haven]

ghost leviathan

thats only in sub 1

[carmine bobcat]

There's no black and blue leviathan in SN, and definitely not near Kyanite

[delicate haven]

hmm

is he talking about something else or

iceworm

[carmine bobcat]

It's this

Ice Worms cannot grab your seatruck because they're not even underwater

[delicate haven]

ah

he's talking abou the shadow

[carmine bobcat]

Well, you can reload the last save, or build a new one. Usually, people don't commit the same mistake multiple times

[carmine bobcat]

I didn't mention the name because maybe they haven't scanned it yet

[delicate haven]

understandable

[viral badger]

pc came yesterday, i can finally run it well

[sacred jungle]

Thats the @viral badger to succes Laughs in bad jokes

[viral badger]

ur so real for this!!!

[orchid arrow]

hi i just built the snowfox but im a bit confused on how to drive it, its going super slow, pressing shift for speed boost does nothing

[eternal garnet]

it doesn't go in water. Sounds like you are in water

[orchid arrow]

im on land

[eternal garnet]

then it's strange

[orchid arrow]

i just wanted to try it on a large iceberg near the base, does it just think its in water when it isnt?

[eternal garnet]

maybe if it's really close to water

Bring the pad with you, it recharges. It does not need power

[broken badge]

Funny thing that, @carmine bobcat when I first played BZ, I thought “pilot” referred to a ship of some sort, not you know who lol😂

Because ya know, the whole “last known pilot’s location”

I’m like I don’t see any craft around here
I was looking for some wreckage or smth

😂

[carmine bobcat]

Orion's belt, Diana was a cool pilot

[broken badge]

Yeah for sure

[carmine bobcat]

You know what's funny

I had already visited Hg 2 before I got that signal, so I had a beacon

I thought the signal was for something else, so I kept looking around for something that was not the ship

[lime grove]

meanwhile andy swimming past 2 important fragments:

[chrome cedar]

Same here! I was looking for a survivor of a crashed ship or another alien, I thought…

[carmine bobcat]

Shhh.... No need to mention that

[broken badge]

Yeah it never clicked with me, that it was connected with the prawn sequence not until much later

[carmine bobcat]

At least I didn't miss the CD

[lime grove]

i still got the screenshots

[chrome cedar]

It actually took me quite a while to realize what the pilot was referring to, I never thought of someone inside a prawn as a pilot before then.

[broken badge]

Well glad I wasn’t the only one😅

[chrome cedar]

👍

[carmine bobcat]

I uhm

I don't think pilot was referring to any prawn

The Pilot is Diana, inside the big ship, as she tried to land it safely

[broken badge]

Actually it is, because the site gets marked when you lost track of Maida at Delta island

[carmine bobcat]

Wait

Are you saying I interpreted it wrong the whole time?

[broken badge]

Probably a lot of us did

[carmine bobcat]

I thought it was Diana's signal, and of course the ship kept crash landing a little after

[broken badge]

Because the pda says it has tracked the person in the suit as far as it’s technology will allow

And then it mark’s the pilot’s last known location

[lime grove]

guys do you think 5x damage taken is manageable to do

[broken badge]

Which if you follow that, leads you to Maida’s base

[broken badge]

Custom settings? Idk I don’t change but a few things, damage I don’t mess with

[carmine bobcat]

Brute sharks kinda annoying in that regard, no?

[lime grove]

man a brute shark took liek 70 hp on 2.5x damage taken

[broken badge]

I turn off whichever setting it is so those lilypaddlers become passive, because I don’t need any more migraine triggers than I already have😬

[lime grove]

i once got jumpscared by a cheli which was like 20 meters above me when i went out to scan a fragment

[chrome cedar]

I’ve been jumpacares by a sea monkey bringing me a present while grabbing rubys.

[ruby tendon]

what happen when i fnish the game? what happen to the world? can i continue playing?

[carmine bobcat]

It'll load the last save

[ruby tendon]

for sure?

[chrome cedar]

Finish any business you have on the planet before going through the gate…. Good spot to save.

[carmine bobcat]

I am still playing, long after beating the game

[ruby tendon]

after|| i craft the achitect body parts it end||?

[chrome cedar]

Yea

[carmine bobcat]

No

There's still a bit more to do

[chrome cedar]

Well, it works too.

[ruby tendon]

on the world?

[carmine bobcat]

||After constructing, there's still a few more steps before actually finishing||

[ruby tendon]

||then, i should save on my base after finding the required materials for the body?||

yes? no?

[carmine bobcat]

That's what I did

[chrome cedar]

As long as the big guy is still living rent free in your head, that’s where I usually save before the end. That way the sea monkeys are still friendly.

[viral knot]

where is the best spot to build a base in tree spires? I already built bases in crystal caves and ||fabricator caverns||.

i was thinking about a void observatory but that is a plan for a bit later on :D

i ran out of materials a bit with these bases

i might need to go to ||koppa|| again lmao

[chrome cedar]

If you haven’t stripped that place yet then you’ve barely scratched the surface…

[hidden fjord]

Hi guys!! I joined here mainly because I am doing a research work for the university, mine is about Subnautica, interface design and user experience, could you help me by answering some questions about this? I'm currently at the stage of "record specific observations and feedback from players of "Subnautica: Below Zero" who have used virtual reality mods/emulators. Record detailed feedback from players about their experience in the VR interface, highlighting any challenges and suggestions they provide for improving the virtual reality experience in the game."

Basically answering questions like: "Have you ever encountered any difficulties while playing in VR? What problems have you faced? Have you ever had problems interacting with game elements in VR? Can you give an example?", some suggestions, all that kind of stuff works for me

[eternal garnet]

Well, there's a big problem: BZ does not support VR. I believe there is a mod, but that means the user base drops to a hundredth

[hidden fjord]

Yep, its a mod, but I can't find people who actually play it so I decided to ask anyway, but I think I'm going to have to end up changing my research topic at this point hahahh😔

[eternal garnet]

subnautica does support VR

[hidden fjord]

Yes, regarding that one I already knew about it but for some reason I ended up choosing BZ for my research, so I will most likely change it for that one, thanks!!!!

[chrome cedar]

What makes you think all of us aren’t already part of a VR simulation?

[eternal garnet]

it's the smell.

[chrome cedar]

It’s immersive…

Mr Anderson…

[broken badge]

Follow the white rabbit snow stalker

[chrome cedar]

Whoa…

[vast idol]

Blue or red peeper?

[viral knot]

no, i mean i've been there multiple times but never really looked for a place to build a base

[sacred jungle]

Cool

oh cool

thank you

[lucid gate]

np!

[silver olive]

I wanna make a movie inspired by subnautica but I have exactly 0 knowledge about making movies

Or a show

series?

[viral badger]

dumb question but does custom mode disable achievements?

[next current]

Yes.

[viral badger]

ok ty

[carmine bobcat]

ello

[carmine bobcat]

can i send screenshot from the game on this channel?

Yes, you can

[eternal garnet]

if it has late game content, mark the pic spoiler

[carmine bobcat]

oke

[tacit thorn]

User experience wise:

• lack of autosave makes game crashes/mistakes very painful
• lack of ability to move items in bulk between containers, and you tend to gather a lot of items. Clicking 500 times is not fun.
• lack of snap-to-grid build functionality. freeplacing is cool and all, but many times we just want to align things so they dont look all over the place.
• only 5 quicslots feel lacking when we get more tool options. No good reason to limit it.
• Buildings are too close to player when building. it is hard to place things when they take most of the screen and obscure the view.
• Equipment does not remember the last state. Exit game - scanner room resets. Enter seatruck while holding a tool? Once you exit, the tool is no longer in your hand and you have to select it again. underwater scooter thingy does not remember the map and light setting.
• settings screen - the settings roll over from High to low when clicking the right arrow. There should be a clear indication to player that setting is at its highest, not loop them around.
• VR wise - didn't play VR, but above will still apply.

[carmine bobcat]

5 items in hotbar seems enough though

Makes you still have to decide which ones to have in hand, but most of the times you don't need them all

It might be a problem if you use seaglide 24/7, but you can simply not use it

[chrome cedar]

Wish the hotbar was configurable about how many to have on standby. I know I’ve wished for 6 more than once.

[carmine bobcat]

The only moment I wished for more slots was when I was placing down the posters

[viral badger]

this is real

[chrome cedar]

LoL

Repair tool and laser cutter I’m always having to swap out, in SN at least. That would be the 6th slot for me. BZ not as much of a need there.

[carmine bobcat]

Repair tool is a must have though

[chrome cedar]

Propulsion cannon maybe.

[carmine bobcat]

What tools do you usually have on your hotbar?

[chrome cedar]

Scanner, knife, seaglide, hab builder, cutter, repair, propulsion. 7 tops for me and I’d be golden.

[carmine bobcat]

I have Scanner, Repair tool, knife...

Laser cutter sometimes

[chrome cedar]

Tools should just automatically hotbar themselves when created. Unless specifically disabled.

[carmine bobcat]

They are, right?

[chrome cedar]

Well, up to 5. I meant start out with no hotbar and build from there.

Let it grow organically.

[carmine bobcat]

That sounds unnecessarily complex

And can also get out of control very quickly

[chrome cedar]

Swapping out tools is unnecessarily complex.

[carmine bobcat]

No, it's very simple

[chrome cedar]

Takes time, wastes oxygen.

I always play with a controller, any time I open the PDA it takes forever to select things.

[carmine bobcat]

You have 5 from the start, you have to be careful with what you hold. If you're so worried about oxygen, you can enable PDA pause

[chrome cedar]

PC folks with mouse controls have it easy.

[carmine bobcat]

I am a Playstation player

Use the D-pad

[chrome cedar]

I’ve never toggled PDA pause. May have to look at that.

[wise apex]

im a switch player

[noble sky]

Likewise.

I have an army of symbiotes. There are three squidsharks I bred, and they live outside my base.

[carmine bobcat]

Poor vehicles

[wise apex]

and a playstation player

[noble sky]

No, I own a moonpool and a seatruck dock. My vehicle are safe kept. Nor do they harm my vehicles.

The squidsharks near my base have names.
1: Phobos.
2: Deimos.
3: Allan.

[carmine bobcat]

Well, leaving the base must be annoying

[noble sky]

Not at all. They are harmless.

[carmine bobcat]

They disable your vehicles and damage them

[noble sky]

I do believe they killed my sea monkeys however.

[carmine bobcat]

Yo I opened the dev console by accident but didn’t use any commands. Will that prevent me from getting any achievements in the future?

[chrome cedar]

Shouldn’t

[broken badge]

Switching tool position used to be a monumental pain in the butt. Until BZ came out with a convenient way for those of us playing on console to do this without needing slot assignment that previously only PC players could take advantage of.

Thank goodness this was able to be backported into Subnautica, because it makes the game soooo much more enjoyable

I remember before BZ and the backporting, having to use a locker or something in Subnautica to mess around with tool positions. Or alternatively, if you knew how it worked, you could sort them on your own but it was basically like playing a mini game of a sort with your tools😅

[viral badger]

after doing this (its the one on land with the bridge) what do i do after?

just explore?

[broken badge]

Did you cross the bridge?

[viral badger]

no yeah, i did that whole island already

[broken badge]

Oh so you found and scanned the ||body part Al-an needed you to find|| from the land section?
And also found the ||frozen leviathan and cure for it||?

It’s not really an “island” at least I don’t think of it that way

[viral badger]

errrmmmmmm maybe not then LOL

at least i dont think

[broken badge]

The bridge connects to a bigger land section

Which has quite a lot to explore

[viral badger]

yeah, i thought i explored it pretty well but i guess not

[broken badge]

(I always get so lost there)

[viral badger]

haha me too

also where do i find magnetite? i dont think ive found it yet

[broken badge]

You’ve found Phi Robotics?

[viral badger]

i think yeah

[broken badge]

Because if you go underneath the big room there inside the cave that houses Phi Robotics, there’s an ore vein you can grab a few pieces from it that’s tucked back under it. It’s enough to make whatever it is that needs it, can’t remember, I think it’s something related to the snowfox.

But if you need more, there’s also magnetite in the deep lilypads cave

[carmine bobcat]

Follow the map for progression

[viral badger]

ohhh okay thanks

[chrome cedar]

Put a scanner room by Phi and you will find loads of resources Nearby.

[broken badge]

Np

[chrome cedar]

Do the same on the other side of the bridge…

[chrome cedar]

I honestly don’t remember how it worked back then, I played SN on PS4 before BZ was a thing, not quite 2 years before maybe?

[broken badge]

Looks like BZ came out in early access in 2019. I know it entered full release, including for consoles, in May 2021

Omg there was a film titled Below Zero that came out in 2021. Guessing it wasn’t that popular😂

(I only saw that because I was searching when Subnautica: Below Zero entered early access)

[viral badger]

how do i get in here?

[chrome cedar]

Netflix movie. Can’t have had a wide audience. Way too many streaming services out there now. It stinks.

[chrome cedar]

I’d use a cannon of some sort that might propulsion things out of the way.

[viral badger]

oh okay thought so, i dont even have all the frags for that lol

[chrome cedar]

Come back when you do. It will also help with items stuck in crevices.

Assuming you’re after collecting resources. I go through a lot. 😂

[viral badger]

haha yeah, just crafted it. gonna wait for my seatruck to charge a bit

i also accidentally broke my storage thing for it

[chrome cedar]

Alterra stuff breaks far too easily. Or there wouldn’t be fragments everywhere.

[viral badger]

real

tbf its not too expensive

[viral badger]

how do i do this? i just found ||Al-ans body part||

[chilly notch]

Why does the sea truck storage cart have to be where leviathan are

Also I hate that jacksepticeye found the water drinking machine really quickly

[chrome cedar]

That will open some doors previously closed…

How do you think the fragments got there to begin with? LoL

[steel stream]

Pda lists squidshark under large carnivores and not leviathans...

[chilly notch]

It's not a squidshark it something red and large

[broken badge]

That’s a different area (sorry, I didn’t hear my notifications)
You’re looking for the section of the land map, the Glacial Basin, which is notable for these pretty Frost Acacia trees, where you’ll find a structure you need to investigate (a ||bunker||)

[steel stream]

I thought you meant storage module fragments...sleeper module fragments are near chelicerate

[chilly notch]

So I'm not near a storage module? Where do I find that is it also next to a fabricator module?

[viral badger]

thank you!!

[steel stream]

Yes, close to fabricator module fragments in deep twisty bridges

[broken badge]

You’re very welcome🙂

[broken badge]

Deep twisty bridges has both storage and fabricator module fragments to scan; if you look around the area (watch out for spiky traps) you can find enough fragments to scan for both types of modules

[chrome cedar]

Also some good resources if you keep up with your oxygen.

[broken badge]

It’s also a nice area to pick up some lithium, gold, and diamonds should you need them. There’s also a lot of gel sacks down there as well.

And while it’s kind of well hidden, tucked away there’s an ||architect artifact site|| down there too

[chrome cedar]

Definitely well hidden, I only ever find it by accident, and only every 2nd or 3rd playthrough.

[carmine bobcat]

pluh

[ruby tendon]

||how would i get there? above is ice, underwater it has wall||

[storm imp]

should be a tunnel somewhere

[ruby tendon]

underwater?

[storm imp]

yes

[ruby tendon]

how have i missed this place.. it is only 200m away from the pod

[bold monolith]

Why wouldn't you? Sometimes you stumble upon it but you don't know it's there.

Maybe you didn't check the Delta map carefully.

Or you just ignored the symbol.

[chrome cedar]

It’s one small passage to get there, stumbling across it at the beginning is probably very rare.

New play throughs though it’s always one of my first stops after having a scanner.

[carmine bobcat]

What's the name of Sam's girlfriend again?

[carmine bobcat]

Dr Danielle

[steel stream]

Unless you continue working towards your initial goal and head for outpost zero after scanning the map, since some pda entries tell that Sam worked in outpost zero...at least that's what I did.

[sacred jungle]

In my 2nd playthrough i just went straight to outpost zero.

So much good stuff

[viral knot]

i love the view from my base

[viral badger]

finally did it lmao

[tacit thorn]

The game toolset is bigger than five. Knife, scanner, seaglide, build tool, mineral scanner, flashlight and youre already running out of them. There are no ingame sequences that require rapid switching of equipment, so there is no point limiting them. You can already switch between them by going into pause menu, so its just an annoyance.

[chrome cedar]

My only point was that for the next game, more slots would be convenient to have. Not suggesting changing existing games.

And mods don’t help folks on consoles. Base game should have a level playing field.

[carmine bobcat]

You don't use 5 at once, what you're asking is to not have to be careful about what you take with you or not. There are far too many items that you can hold in your hand, the number would get overwhelming too fast

Maybe a 6th would help in certain cases, but even then, only 1 isn't that big of a deal. It's not every day that you need the laser cutter. Same with mineral scanner. And flashlight is very underwhelming. One thing that could help is an alternative to the seaglide, since too many people use it 24/7. Maybe Ultra Glife Fins and Lightweight tank are useful, after all...

[chrome cedar]

Powerglide fins. Or propulsion tank. Combine the speed of the seaglide with something you’re already equipping.

[broken badge]

Now that I can switch tools out so easily, I’m not sure I’d want more slots

Most of the time I keep the laser cutter and a builder tool inside my seatruck, so they’re there should I need them. Just traveling around, I don’t need them ready to equip all the time.

I don’t tend to use the prop cannon, because at least with regard to places like ||Mercury 2 wreckage sections, you can find alternate routes to get to areas that are otherwise blocked using vent passageways||. Not saying there aren’t uses for the prop cannon, but you can certainly get by without it

[carmine bobcat]

Phi Robotics has a section only accessible with it, but that's it

[broken badge]

I saw the pic, yesterday I think it was. What’s in those boxes, is it just water/water purification tablets, flares, medkits, the usual sort of stuff?

[carmine bobcat]

I think there was a CD?

Not sure

[broken badge]

Oh ok, cool

[carmine bobcat]

I am probably mistaking it with the Arch room

I don't know

[broken badge]

I think I’ve been there at least once, but it’s probably been awhile ago

[tacit thorn]

I just speak from personal experience. I was running out of tool slots constantly while early/midgame and it was annoying. It does not have to be that way. There is a valid reason why a mod to make 12 quickslots exists.

[carmine bobcat]

12 is extremely excessive

I'd definitely understand 6 though

[tacit thorn]

perhaps 12 is excessive. Or maybe it is not.

[carmine bobcat]

You will never need 12 tools at once

You'll need like 3 or 4 at once

[tacit thorn]

What if I want to throw fish around?

[carmine bobcat]

Open PDA, click "drop item"

All fish will be in a row in your inventory

[tacit thorn]

again, there is no reason to not have so many. The game does not restrict us to changing our equipment only at locker in our base. so making it more convenient to swap tools (quickslot vs going to inventory) does not hurt anything.

[carmine bobcat]

But a huge amount of slots encourages players to take all their tools at once, and that becomes overwhelming. Only having 5 shows "only take what you need", which in turn makes it so you can carry more ores and items from exploration.

[tacit thorn]

this does not affect how many you carry in inventory, merely makes it annoying to swap

if it was "can only take 5 tools out of base", then it would apply

[carmine bobcat]

Wow, uhm, I don't know what to tell you anymore

I guess the game just doesn't support your playstyle

[tacit thorn]

can we stick to the facts then?

1. Player can take up to 80 tools with them. how many, is their choice.
2. Player can swap new tool into hotbar at any time they please.
3. There are no timed sequences that require swapping between set of tools.
4. -> implication -> limiting hotbars to only five is annoyance and does not fulfill any game purpose.

all I am asking is to give players choice and convenience. You can choose to not use it.

[carmine bobcat]

1. Yes, but only being able to hold 1 at once, and having 5 slots should make you rethink which ones are of highest importance
2. There is no scenario where you need 5 tools at once, so you're able to change your hotbar as you get into a different one (knife, mineral scanner, flashlight, air bladder are not useful in Mercury II, air bladder, propulsion cannon, seaglide, pathfinding tool are not useful in land, etc.)
3. Same as 2.
4. It's a no-problem, really. Inconvenience for very specific playstyles that rely on having excessive numbers of tools available at once

[eternal garnet]

step back a bit and ask yourself, did this topic go too far?

[carmine bobcat]

I don't know

[tacit thorn]

1. there is no legitimate reason to think which ones are more important, because they are already in player inventory.
2. knife, scanner, seaglide, gravball, build tool. Can literaly use nothing else without swapping.

[carmine bobcat]

I'm running around with a singular habitat builder, placing basic plant pots everywhere

[carmine bobcat]

(do people use gravball?)

[tacit thorn]

getting resources. especially stuck ones

[eternal garnet]

yes, it has some special uses, like get embedded rocks

[simple galleon]

can you grow gel sacks?

[tacit thorn]

Do you ever scan or knife anything for samples?

[fervent bloom]

I don't really. It's not worth the inventory space, especially because it doesn't automatically grab fish for you.

[tacit thorn]

yes, knife them for seeds.

[simple galleon]

ok!

only problem being i need the exterior growbed

[carmine bobcat]

There aren't many samples, and I've already scanned everything in the game.

Below Zero has an unusually low amount of plantable flora

[tacit thorn]

Then you are not the target demographic. I'm saying early/mid game, when you must have knife and scanner at all times. And probably laser tool, because you are not yet familar when things can be cut.

and if you use prawn/truck. that is another slot for repair tool. That already makes it 6 for me.

[carmine bobcat]

That's a problem caused by lack of ultra glide fins

Seaglide shouldn't be a must have

[simple galleon]

i just go around with a truck with batteries and power cells in case i need to swap one out on the go, prawn is NOT battery efficicent

[carmine bobcat]

I have 4 cells in the prawn inventory

[simple galleon]

i have fab and storage for all of the space for storage, fab module holds all power cells, batteries, and tools

[grim token]

I found the ice worm when out on a walk today.
(Is a bug, so don't click if you don't like bugs)

[simple galleon]

where's the orange spike head?

[carmine bobcat]

Did it destroy the pavement?

[tacit thorn]

I never used seaglide, because I didn't have quickslot space

[carmine bobcat]

...what...

[grim token]

Close enough, I live in Canada, not Australia

[simple galleon]

seaglide is usueful, and how do you not have a quicksolt space?

[carmine bobcat]

Seaglide is more important than knife, the knife is only used when you find new harvestable flora, which is very rare

[simple galleon]

cool, i live in cali

[tacit thorn]

knife or scanner are the most important tools, for breaking outcrops. usually knife, because I respect my equipment

[carmine bobcat]

And knowing you explore with a habitat builder in hand....

[carmine bobcat]

You can spam 'interact' with your seaglide for similar, if not faster effect

Your point is partially self-sabotage

[tacit thorn]

I might have not found that out, because I didn't have space for seaglide 🤣

seaglide cant get samples, or get coral pieces off the wall. I think?

ramming with truck works for second option.

[carmine bobcat]

How often do you need them? They're usually all together, so I get the knife from my inventory, slash all of them, then switch back to something else. It is very rare the occasion I run out of table coral samples.

And if you want another option, Prawn's claw arm can break and pick them up

[simple galleon]

i use prawn for table coral. Punch table coral. punch wall. punch wall. pick up table coral.

[tacit thorn]

I guess I prefer my tools to always be in the same slot, instead of swapping constantly. And again, we're back to matter of having to go to inventory to swap things.

[simple galleon]

i've used truck so much recently that i haven't bothered with seaglide because of where i've been going to

[tacit thorn]

Oh, just remembered my 7th occupied slot - beacon. because you need to select thing to place it.

[carmine bobcat]

We get it, it's a personal nitpick

[carmine bobcat]

No, you don't

Just drop it from your inventory

Unless you want the hand animations

[viral badger]

tbh ive never used a beacon, in both games

[tacit thorn]

I want. and it is more convenient to aim it. does dropping it work on land?

[fervent bloom]

It does in Below Zero.

[eternal garnet]

on land, you should hold it and stick it in the ground. dropping does not work well

[fervent bloom]

I use lots. How else do you find interesting caves?

[eternal garnet]

new BZ feature

[tacit thorn]

dropping is totally non obvious way I would never figure out anyway

[eternal garnet]

works well underwater

[carmine bobcat]

I use it sometimes, when I encounter something that requires laser cutter/prop cannon. Just for convenience. I don't always have those tools on me

[chrome cedar]

I use beacons a lot, usually to mark my base if it’s somewhere odd and also to mark scanner rooms I leave across the map for finding resources.

In the first game, also use them as navigation markers for late game stuff.

[carmine bobcat]

I put a beacon next to my base. As I swam away from it, I realized the base already had its own beacon. Oh well.

[eternal garnet]

new in BZ: if you die with a beacon, it will rename and drop

[tacit thorn]

Note: bases get own beacon by command room.

Seatruck/detached modules/prawn have own beacons

[broken badge]

I love they added this feature, it’s so handy

[carmine bobcat]

Pfft, useless feature, I never die anyway 🙄 🙄 (I did, it's been very helpful)

[tacit thorn]

Cannonicaly, never died.
Just loaded last save.

[broken badge]

Gamers never die, they just respawn

[tacit thorn]

[autosave is another feature we're missing that mods had to add]

[broken badge]

I would only want autosave if manual save is there as well

[carmine bobcat]

Autosave is a horrible thing sometimes, and I'm glad it's not a thing

[tacit thorn]

why would you assume it is not?

[viral badger]

fair enough tbh

[broken badge]

That’s why I don’t want autosave only

[carmine bobcat]

Imagine you encounter a bug and are trying to load last save - oops, auto save locked you in that bug

[broken badge]

Because autosave can end up saving at awkward times

[tacit thorn]

Autosave is only bad when implemented horribly.
NFS that saves after you sold your main car and bought worst crap in the game? bad.
Autosave every 10 mins alongside manual save? Good.

[eternal garnet]

you need a minimum of 2 slots then, one auto one manual

[carmine bobcat]

Autosave during bad moment? Bad. Subnautica is very buggy, it kind of benefits from not having an autosave

[eternal garnet]

or as in most games, manual saves keep forever

[eternal garnet]

Autosave has to go in a different slot

[broken badge]

And apparently platforms have limits on number of save slots allowed, so it’s a bit tricky to implement I guess. Don’t ask me specifics of how it works for some games, because I’m sure that’s proprietary data

[tacit thorn]

There is an existing autosave mod with implementation that should have been in base game but for some reason isn't.
Autosaves ever 10 minutes (configurable) and keeps last 3 autosaves (configurable). does not touch manual save, separate slots. Works perfectly fine.

[tacit thorn]

Counterargument: It is possible to start more than one manual save. Extrapolation: that other manual save slot can be repurposed for autosave while staying within same total space used.

[broken badge]

“Works perfectly fine”
Doesn’t mean it works with the vanilla game across all platforms, you’d be surprised how a small change can mess up all sorts of systems you’d think were completely unrelated with the Subnautica or BZ code. I’m sure there’s good reason they didn’t want to mess with the saving system

[eternal garnet]

The reason there arent multiple loading spots is consoles have very limited save space

[tacit thorn]

do consoles support at least 2 save slots?

[eternal garnet]

And PC version is not really allowed to be "much better"

[eternal garnet]

yes

[tacit thorn]

read above again: #below-zero-chat message

[eternal garnet]

they are mostly limited by size and total number of files.

[fervent bloom]

Is that because of the control room?

[carmine bobcat]

There's a maximum of 8 slots, I think. If you have 8 saves, your technique doesn't work

[carmine bobcat]

The control room does

[broken badge]

That’s what I meant when I said there are only a certain number of slots allowed on certain platforms (consoles), when I was told there are some potential issues when looking into autosave. But who knows, maybe they’ll be able to do it for the next game. We’ll just have to wait and see

Switch has a maximum of 4 game save slots

[tacit thorn]

let the player choose. 4 games with autosave on, or 8 games without.
Do NOT make decisions for players.

[eternal garnet]

Two load slots would not be an issue. One for auto one for manual

[broken badge]

Other consoles can have up to 8 game save slots, but Switch caps at 4

[carmine bobcat]

That's an unnecessary choice, I have never seen a game limiting that

It screams "unpolished saving feature"

I think a solution to this problem is just a reminder to save every 15 mins, and an ability to turn it off

[tacit thorn]

BTW: saving autosave into separate slot is just a dirty and quick solution. It could very well be an incremental changeset on last manual save.

[tacit thorn]

Used pomodoro timer. Was absolutely annoying.

automatic is most convenient.

[viral badger]

also, i have a question. after i ||cure the frozen leviathan||, what should i do next?

[carmine bobcat]

"ability to turn it off", also do people really get annoyed at it? I really like Subnautica's notifications

[carmine bobcat]

Deal with the best boy ||Al-An||

[tacit thorn]

1. Find the easily misable datapad in corridor to that cave, explaining what happened to your sister.
2. ||finish allan quest||
3. ||finish greenhouse quest with old lady||

[eternal garnet]

that's the end of the Sam storyline. Go back to main or Maida if you didn't finish it

[tacit thorn]

It gets annoying when its a website with generic beep on another screen/device.

[carmine bobcat]

Easily missable?

[tacit thorn]

Did you find it, on first rty, without hints?

[carmine bobcat]

It's literally just a png on the top right of your screen for a couple seconds, it's semi-transparent

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

[eternal garnet]

yes. I have a pic '

is very missable, sadly

[carmine bobcat]

I guess I'm just an astute observer

[tacit thorn]

I consider myself a very diligent explorer that scanned every damn thing in the game world. I missed it.

[viral badger]

how do i finish the ||al-an|| quest?

[tacit thorn]

Build him new hardware platform.

[eternal garnet]

this is intentionally complicated

[carmine bobcat]

Follow his hints

[viral badger]

😔😔 alright, ill play in a bit once my cat sitting shift is over haha

[simple galleon]

i hate it when that happens

i once had to restart my device since my cat had locked my keyboard by sitting on it

[carmine bobcat]

I love it when my cat jumps on my lap when I'm trying to carefully align furniture in my base

[simple galleon]

XD timing that that cat has

i figured out one of the best bioreactor fuels, preston's delight

and i dropped my switch and this is the result. If you haven't been able to tell what's wrong with this photo, there's a ribbon cable showing, and the circled part is not in the correct position, it's popped out of place put still attached.

😦

[eternal garnet]

if you can't fix, phone repair shop

[simple galleon]

i have a second pair for friends when i play with them, so i got the correct joy-con from that pair

and getting it fixed would cost a lot

probaly

[broken badge]

I had that happen too, when it slipped out of my hands shortly after I got mine, one of the joycons busted and wouldn’t connect anymore. So I had to replace my joycons. Luckily I had already bought a pair in a different color. It’s because (I read) that when switch is dropped, it’s meant to keep the “console” from breaking, so the “breakaway” points are the joycons. It’s less expensive to replace those (they run about what, $80ish USD?) than replacing several hundred for the Switch itself. Too bad it broke, instead of just popping off.

[viral badger]

it never ended 💔

now i have literally no time to play bz 😔😔 i was so excited

[carmine bobcat]

BZ can wait, kitties cannot

[viral badger]

thats true

[broken badge]

Just play while the cat sits in your lap xD

[steel stream]

But what if the cat sits on the keyboard?

[chrome cedar]

Kitty wants a fishy

[muted kraken]

Why tf is there a sea emperor in BZ

I stumbled upon it and scared the soul outta me

[bold monolith]

Is it fully textured?

I believe the texture is gone when they removed unused assets. As for your question it's either a mod, you're playing an Early Access build or you spawned it yourself and you forgot.

[viral badger]

haha, we have to wait until she sleeps because she just goes crazy for like, 3 hours! but she loves watching me play subautica its so cute

[viral badger]

is there a way to copy my save?

[bold monolith]

Yes, do you have the game on Steam, Epic, MS store, Discord?

[viral badger]

steam

[bold monolith]

Right click on the game, properties, installed files, click on "browse", then SNAppData, make a copy of SavedGames.

[eternal garnet]

or, individual saves inside SavedGames

[eternal garnet]

To restore from a copy, do this while sitting in the main menu. Otherwise steam sync will interfere

[viral badger]

ohh okay, thank u

[little haven]

I'm thinking if I should go back to playing below zero after getting through midterms and other stuff to make room for halloween later

[viral badger]

you should

[little haven]

mkay

I'll have fun when I get home

[viral badger]

interesting!

[chrome cedar]

She usually knows what she's talking about.

[boreal ledge]

HOW the hell do i get my seamoth back in water

i tried the repulsion cannon and it didnt work

[eternal garnet]

erm. lol. Load game

Prawn push?

[boreal ledge]

i have only 1 save

[boreal ledge]

i dont have a prawn

[bold monolith]

Maybe you didn't save.

[eternal garnet]

remove upgrades, battery, make new

Then SAVE OFTEN

[bold monolith]

It's the wrong channel.

But did you try the propulsion cannon as well?

[boreal ledge]

nvm picked up a rock and just threw it at the moth

worked fine

[carmine bobcat]

Wait, there's a seamoth??

How come I never found it

[boreal ledge]

i typed in the wrong chat, sorry

[carmine bobcat]

Oh, okay

Very sorry for your loss

[viral badger]

am i allowed to send links? like for a clip? or do i have to download it and send it as a vid

[carmine bobcat]

Videos are pretty cool

[boreal ledge]

I got it back tho

[viral badger]

went through the 7 stages of grief 💔 (i wasnt playing with headphones on.. i have hamilton playing in the back 💀)

[carmine bobcat]

(cold suit 700m deep??) I'm so sorry 🙏 Hope you recover from this

[viral badger]

LOL i forgot i had it on tbh

[eternal garnet]

it's comfy AND stylish

[viral badger]

i am NOT happy rn

[eternal garnet]

happy happy happy 🎶

[viral badger]

[carmine bobcat]

It looks very comfy, I likey

[fervent bloom]

Hello! You're new, right?

[viral badger]

(major spoilers) !!

[fervent bloom]

Congratulations!

[viral badger]

what the scallop bro

[fervent bloom]

It's probably never seen a human before. It's curious (and hungry)!

[viral badger]

he needs to stop 😔

i did manage to get out alive! though a little damaged

doesnt help that my kitten keeps sitting in front of my screen watching the fish haha

[viral badger]

i would be finished the game rn if it wasnt for her 😔

[fervent bloom]

Okay, that is absolutely adorable. What's her name?

[carmine bobcat]

Boba

[viral badger]

boba/boba-bear, since she kinda looks like a bear haha

[carmine bobcat]

roawr

Does she bite like baby stalkers?

[fervent bloom]

Do they do damage in that interaction?

[fervent bloom]

How did you know?

[viral badger]

yes! you should see my hand 😔

[viral badger]

i talk about her a lot in #memes-and-media

[carmine bobcat]

No

[carmine bobcat]

I have the green role, I know everything.

[fervent bloom]

Good. Otherwise people wouldn't want to pet the little babies.

[viral badger]

i finished bz!!

[next current]

How fitting.

[carmine bobcat]

Username checks out

[viral badger]

omg i saw this earlier for the first time in the game it was so pretty!

[mental berry]

yeah

[carmine bobcat]

TomTom was watching me play BZ and said "look up"

I started crying

[mental berry]

i'mma try something in BZ

building a void base

[next current]

Good luck!

[mental berry]

have to use another save

cause this one broke

rip

help

accidentally spawned a chelicerate in my base

[carmine bobcat]

Ouchies, try using entreset

It might clip out

[mental berry]

HOW

I SCANNED IT

I DIDN'T DIE!

[carmine bobcat]

Awesome!

[mental berry]

what are these called again?

i forgot

[carmine bobcat]

Shadow Leviathan

[mental berry]

scanned

HOW

[carmine bobcat]

All skill, no luck

[mental berry]

ive scanned a chelicerate but not a peeper

lol

i don't think this is supposed to happen...

[carmine bobcat]

I think it is. They do it like White Sharks

Peeking out of water in search for prey

[mental berry]

help

[carmine bobcat]

I think that's a Chelicerate

Right here

[carmine bobcat]

Can Ice Worms swim?

[mental berry]

idk

want me to test this after i deal with 1,000,000 crashfish?

built a nuke in subnautica below zero

[carmine bobcat]

Below Zero waters reach 20 degrees from the amount of explosions

[mental berry]

My base got shredded

[mental berry]

it's not working

[carmine bobcat]

Sorry, idk how to help

[mental berry]

i'm punching it to death via prawn

I KILLED IT!!!!

LET'S GOO!!!

[fervent bloom]

Unfortunately, I believe you can't spawn Ice Worms. They work differently than other creatures

Did you know that you can spawn a tiger plant in Below Zero? I don't know if it will shoot spikes, though.

[next current]

You can technically. It's a bit weird though.

[fervent bloom]

Oh, really? I must try this. Also... wait, what? That is weird.

Why are you kidnapping penglings?

[mental berry]

fyi there's no limit to how many leviathans you can spawn

aka 1,000,000 chelicerates

[fervent bloom]

I'm sure that won't affect the game whatsoever.

I tried spawning a mature ventgarden in the shallow twisty bridges, and it really helped me realize how vast they are.

[mental berry]

i spawned 1M crashfish

didn't end well

[fervent bloom]

BOOM

[mental berry]

haha crashfish go boom

[next current]

Yeah. It is.

[boreal ledge]

Not really, played the first game sometime ago. got to the aurora got the prawn suit and just forgot about it

I played it in beta too

I miss digging sand

[harsh fossil]

Bros running that nasa pc

[vast idol]

Man this purple spewing gas place is quite lovely

Jellies:

[bold monolith]

You can't spawn the ice worm but you can spawn its first iteration.

When it was more like a creature and less like an animatronic.

[olive quail]

how do i get to the other side (its near the bridge to arctic spires)

[carmine bobcat]

I am trying to find a way in too. I thought it was laser cutter, but no. Maybe there's another entrance somewhere else

[olive quail]

yeah same issue here

[carmine bobcat]

Look on the surface, there might be a cave that connects to it

[olive quail]

maybe

[steel stream]

Isn't that the cave that can be cut with laser cutter from thw other side? So it's kinda like exit and you have to find a way through land first

[olive quail]

well finding the entrance is the problem

its nowhere near arctic spires for sure

[eternal garnet]

it's an exit, a shortcut. Ignore it, it's not even important later

[olive quail]

i mean just want to find it or sum

[steel stream]

I think that's exactly where it is...

[eternal garnet]

the entrance is center of spires, in a cave

[olive quail]

no idea how i missed it then

[eternal garnet]

by an elevator...

[olive quail]

oh here

ty

[carmine bobcat]

ive done it

[carmine bobcat]

Well... mediocre fuel moment.

[jovial stone]

Im reminded how stupidly rare Lead is like ????

[carmine bobcat]

It's not very rare, it's just concentrated in 2 biomes

[steel stream]

And only in galena outcrops (no drillable lead in bz)

[carmine bobcat]

There's loads of galena in the yellow/purple place

[steel stream]

Well, seamonkeys as well...

[viral badger]

ngl i cant wait to play bz again, it was pretty good

[jovial stone]

Decided to finish up Sam's story before meeting ALAN, and ngl i think it fits more

[carmine bobcat]

I really liked it

[jovial stone]

And building a base that isnt twisty bridges is a nice change of pace too, lilypad biome is beautiful

[viral badger]

yeah, at first i didnt like it too much but ngl i love it

[carmine bobcat]

No there aren't, only those Cryptocurrency losers

As a regular in this server, I went to the game expecting it to be the worst piece of media ever posted on the internet, based on this server's opinion

They were all lying, apparently. I liked BZ more than SN, it feels so much prettier

[viral badger]

haha me too, but the more i played the more i liked it

[viral badger]

i love the way everything looks in bz, but i think gameplay wise i prefer sn, but theyre both great games

[carmine bobcat]

I was a little upset Maida didn't die, but oh well.

[jovial stone]

The difference in the twisty bridges and the safe shallows is literally night and day lol

Like when its night in Subnautica 1, it is like almost pitch black and but in BZ, starting area's all glowy

[carmine bobcat]

Depends on the area of the shallows

They are very glowy as well, but the tube coral areas can get dark

[steel stream]

I meant that seamonkeys are another source for lead (anong other things)

[jovial stone]

Wish Maida is much more involved with the story tbh

Like how come they made this badass of a character and not get her more spotlight in the story??

[carmine bobcat]

100% I just pinned large locker and they suddenly became my main quartz/titanium source

[carmine bobcat]

I don't like her, I wish we only found her remains or something

But I like how she's tied to lots of people

[jovial stone]

🦐 <-- this is a shrimp

[viral badger]

wouldve been cool if we saw her, but then later in the game she died

[steel stream]

Maybe she's just tired...after all Degasi crashed something like 10 years before Aurora, and couple more years to Below Zero events...

[carmine bobcat]

She was messing up with Fred's seatruck, and with the help of Sam she blew up the lab. I'm thinking she used Fred's modules to make the explosives

Sam is robo person

[carmine bobcat]

Shrimp eat rock

[jovial stone]

And this shrimp eats your soul

[carmine bobcat]

That is not a shrimp

[steel stream]

Many call it a shrimp...

[carmine bobcat]

They call it wrong

Shriml = rock puncher

[jovial stone]

Lobster

[carmine bobcat]

This is just a red shark

How many of them are on the map? I've only met 2

[jovial stone]

Imma say it but
Void Chelicerate > Ghost Leviathans

Terms of how scary

[carmine bobcat]

Never saw one, but they don't look like filter feeders

[jovial stone]

Tho ngl wish the shadow leviathan was the void leviathan in BZ

[viral badger]

whats in the void in bz? ive never been haha

[carmine bobcat]

Void Chelicerates, according to the PDA

But it's too far away, I've never been that far

[jovial stone]

They're much bigger than their red counterparts, and the PDA said its a rare mutation

[carmine bobcat]

They're white or something

[steel stream]

If you want to know ||4||

[carmine bobcat]

Only 4???

That's cute

[steel stream]

And the void ones on top of that

[jovial stone]

Theres like idk 20 reapers in Sub 1 lol

[carmine bobcat]

What about Shadow Leviathans? Only saw 3

[jovial stone]

I think 4 aswell

[carmine bobcat]

25, but they're all bunched up

[jovial stone]

Dunes

No not the movie, you know what i mean

[carmine bobcat]

There's like 4 in the front of the Aurora, 5 on the thrusters, a bunch around the wreck in mountains, and you always have 2 reapers in sight in the Dunes. Vs 1 cheli near the artifact that leads to Crystalline Caverns, 1 near the vent garden.

It's much less crowded, Below Zero

Chelis feel more magestic predators, rather than invasive big loud eels

[jovial stone]

First time playing BZ, the biggest heart attack moment i had was when i was collecting lithium, hearing a new roar and a Chelis dashed towards me at full speed but he was just munching on a Cryptosuchus

And i was retreating back to my sea truck like i just had my pants down lmao

[carmine bobcat]

I think the biggest spook I had was when the ground started shaking, and then a huge worm it's a stalker and leaves

[viral badger]

mine was the shadow leviathan yesterday 💀 the worm thing scared me a bit at first but nothing like the shadow leviathan

[jovial stone]

Wish the ice worms didnt buck you off everytime it reimerges from the ground

Its more annoying than actually threatening

[bold monolith]

With the snowfox you mean?

[fervent bloom]

One ate my Seatruck.

[mental berry]

I can increase that ammount

Console command shenanigans

What’s the console ID for void chelicerates?

[eternal garnet]

we have not found a way to spawn it

[viral knot]

tree spires base is in progress :)

[viral badger]

lets gooo (my save i just completed was about 15 hours)

this is the second game ive completed 100% on steam, the first one was sn lmao

[storm imp]

nice

[carmine bobcat]

I know, I'm just surprised there are only 4

[calm charm]

Y’all

This egg looks like a ||leviathan||

||Will it come to my house and murder me for placing it in my alien containment||

Not placing it until I get a response bc I’m not gonna get hit like the ||aliens in subnautica 1||

[carmine bobcat]

probably not, creatures raised in containment are friendly towards you anyways regardless of how aggressive they are

[calm charm]

I was thinking like the ||sea dragon egg where they hatched it then the mama attacked||

[carmine bobcat]

oh, well in that case you still have nothing to worry about. the eggs in the actual game just kinda exist for you to pick up and bring to your alien containment. nothing will be angry if its missing

[calm charm]

Thanks, it’s gonna be really embarrassing if this egg isn’t even a ||leviathan||

[bold monolith]

If it's a leviathan it's a glow whale.

Or a squidshark, I often forget they are.

[carmine bobcat]

oh i forgot the glow whale had an egg in game

same with squidshark

[calm charm]

Oh this one looks like the red shark

[carmine bobcat]

the oversized shrimp?

[calm charm]

It has like a beak, it’s red, and has spikes on the sides

[fresh spoke]

Subnautica 3 IS realy ?

[carmine bobcat]

No.

[carmine bobcat]

That's Rock Puncher, I think. It looks like it, at least.

[broken badge]

The rock puncher eggs look like a punk rock football🏈 (red & black with spikes)😂

[fervent bloom]

I would agree.

[calm charm]

Y’all are right, but while I’m asking how do I scan those aggressive leviathans in this game

Bc there’s no stasis rifle

[fervent bloom]

Believe me, I never got the || chelicerate ||. The best way to do it, I think, would be get them to chase you and take cover in a crevice, then scan it while it tries to get you.

[carmine bobcat]

Or just swim around it, avoiding bites. It's a lot more fun trying to scan leviathans in BZ

Stasis steals all the fun

[burnt pilot]

This is the way, there’s almost always somewhere to hide and you can build a base piece if you need to help out

I didn’t even know about the stasis rifle while playing Subnautica

[fervent bloom]

Leviathans don't try to destroy the Seatruck if you're not piloting it, I believe.

[carmine bobcat]

Not the modules, at least

[fervent bloom]

That's something... I don't think they've ever tried to eat the tractor if I wasn't in the pilot's seat, either.

[eternal garnet]

correct. However, this is not true for the prawn

[fervent bloom]

This is another reason to use the Seatruck whenever possible.

[eternal garnet]

there's a deep spot that if you take the prawn, you will regret it

[carmine bobcat]

Is it the Artifact on a lava gayser?

Idk how to write it so I put gay in it

[fervent bloom]

I like it!

[carmine bobcat]

Me too

[eternal garnet]

no, it's a spot to park, with a dark leviathan

[low sky]

where is the ventgarden adult i need synthetic fibers for exo suit depth mk1

[fervent bloom]

If you head through the Purple Vents but don't go to the Lilypad Islands, you'll end up at a deeper biome called the Tree Spires. The Ventgarden is a few hundred meters deep, above a canyon.

[low sky]

thank you

wait is it like behind delta

[fervent bloom]

Essentially, yes. Watch out for chelicerates, though.

[low sky]

k

[viral knot]

big shrimp

[viral knot]

yeah

[low sky]

what vehicle would you recomend i bring i only have prawn suit and seatruck (no modules)

[viral knot]

id take prawn

i think it has 400m crush depth in stock?

[low sky]

yea

[viral knot]

compared to 150m of sea truck crush depth

[low sky]

thats the basic depth

wait how much does it have for the first upgrade

not the mk2

[viral knot]

i dont remember

[low sky]

damn

[viral knot]

suit or sea truck

[viral knot]

i think the suit has 700 for the mk1

and 300 for sea truck mk1

if i remember correctly

[low sky]

sick. wicked sick.

[fervent bloom]

I'd go with the Seatruck. Nothing will try to eat it while you're ||inside|| the Ventgarden.

[low sky]

oh btw where is the body cache for Al-an

[fervent bloom]

There are three, actually. Which one are you looking for?

[viral knot]

follow the hints and put the name in spoiler

yk

[low sky]

k sorry

[low sky]

the first one. i havent gone to it yet

[viral knot]

maybe the whole sentence

cause for e.g. i didnt know that there was ||going to be an alien in my head when i started playing bz and it was a big surprise to me||

[viral knot]

some are deep, some are very deep and some are a bit above :)

just wander around and you'll find it by yourself

its much more enjoyable to find them by yourself

there will be more hints ||when you get closer :)||

[low sky]

oops..

[fervent bloom]

What's your favorite creature in Sector Zero?

[low sky]

me?

[fervent bloom]

I was asking anyone who wanted to talk about it.

[low sky]

oh

i dont even know where sector zero is

[fervent bloom]

Sorry, that's the map for Below Zero.

[low sky]

ik

[fervent bloom]

Okay... sounds good.

[viral badger]

ngl as much as it made me cry, i think the shadow leviathan

or those little penguin things. theyre cute too

[fervent bloom]

I believe it. That thing is beatiful - I wish one got to see them more. Penglings get an automatic top spot.

[viral badger]

i think they only scared me because i was playing without my headphones on, so they kinda snuck up on me

[fervent bloom]

I suppose that's how they get their name.

[viral badger]

haha yeah, i think i sent the clip yesterday? im not too sure when i sent it lmao

[fervent bloom]

Where is it posted?

[viral badger]

in this channel, i can resend it if you want

[fervent bloom]

Sure! I'll watch it.
