Splooshy sploosh sploosh

[elder herald]

iv stolen 67 baby pingwings in the last 2 hours

[quasi quartz]

💀

[elder herald]

dont judge me gotta make a sandwich somehow

🤷‍♂️

[quasi quartz]

Oh, understandable have a great day

[strong bloom]

Ye I found em

[waxen trail]

Funny way of saying bioreactor fuel

[elder herald]

you can put them in there

🥺

[waxen trail]

They like it

[fervent bloom]

Why would they like being composted alive for energy?

It's going well. I've been waiting for some gel sacks to grow for hydraulic fluid.

[waxen trail]

They crave it

[tacit comet]

You don’t?

[fervent bloom]

It's just one of those things I've never liked for some reason.

[steel shoal]

You're missing out. I just put Willow in there, I'm going in at a later time

[fervent bloom]

Uh, who's Willow?

[steel shoal]

Don't you mean "who was"?

[fervent bloom]

They aren't your glow whale or squidshark, are they?

[steel shoal]

@tacit comet are you my glow whale or squidshark?

[fervent bloom]

I still don't know who Willow was.

[tacit comet]

Yes

Can confirm

[fervent bloom]

What should I do now: fix the bridge to the ||Arctic Spires||, or explore part of the ||Mercury II||?

[steel shoal]

bridge

[next current]

Bridges are boring! Exploring an old starship is WAY cooler.

[fervent bloom]

I've got my Seatruck over at the dock, and I've got some hydraulic fluid, but I need to go get the rest of my cold suit from my base. Luckily, it's not too far.

[steel shoal]

Wormy would be very hurt if it could read.

[fervent bloom]

Sorry, but I was leaning toward that anyway. I'll definitely explore the ||lilypads section of the Mercury II|| at some point soon.

[next current]

:(

I've never been so disappointed in the community before.

[steel shoal]

I hope you explode. Respectfully.

[fervent bloom]

I also found the ice-covered tunnel into the Arctic Spires, so I'll try to cut that open soon.

[next current]

Very well then.

[fervent bloom]

Which ||Mercury II|| section do you typically explore first? I like the ||Lilypads|| part better, but I usually start with the one in the ||Purple Vents||.

[next current]

Typically I go for the ||Mercury II Stern first.||

[fervent bloom]

I just realized that you can remember which one is which by knowing which one has the thrusters on it.

Oh. I was wearing the cold suit.

[next current]

Yeah p much.

[fervent bloom]

What's your favorite fauna in Below Zero? This is directed to anyone who wants to answer.

[steel shoal]

The worm

[fervent bloom]

I feel like it could have more potential - I would prefer a creature, rather than an environmental effect. That said, I love the concept.

[steel shoal]

It looks and sounds cool, and the place is pretty

I also like the shadow leviathan, I called them Christie for obvious reasons.

[fervent bloom]

They're one of my favorite leviathans. I'd like to build a ||Crystal Caverns|| observatory base to watch them.

I love squidsharks, arctic rays, and pinnacarids.

[steel shoal]

I love most creatures, honestly

Everything is so cool

Got tired of all those eels in subnautica

[fervent bloom]

Regardless of the way they behave, I prefer the Below Zero creatures.

[fervent bloom]

Likewise. The only one I don't particularly like is the rockgrub.

[steel shoal]

I wish cryptolosers would shut up though

They're so so loud

[fervent bloom]

I don't mind them. I actually like how vociferous they are; it gives them personality.

[steel shoal]

They could just say it, no need to scream at me

I disliked reapers for the same thing

[fervent bloom]

I suppose; I wonder why they are so loud. The reaper, of course, uses echolocation.

[steel shoal]

"hey, sorry to interrupt you, I'm really dangerous. Just wanted to let you know" And that's it, no need for all the RROOOAAAARRRR GRRRR RAAAAAHHH

[fervent bloom]

I would prefer the roaring, but to each their own. It would get annoying if they said that every time.

[steel shoal]

Yes, but they'd only have to say it once

My memory isn't what it used to be, but it's still good

[fervent bloom]

I just had my first ice worm encounter/jump scare. Yay!

[steel shoal]

What a beauty

[fervent bloom]

I was also exploring, and found myself.... right back at the bridge.

[steel shoal]

That was quick

[fervent bloom]

Well, I explored that biome. Not.

I don't kill leviathans. However, I do the pure invincibility of the ice worm that comes with being undamageable.

[fervent bloom]

I got the ice tunnel to the ||Arctic Spires|| open!

[carmine bobcat]

The things that I would do to find the last two seatruck fabricator modules …

[broken badge]

If you found one of them, then you’re in the right place to find the other two

[carmine bobcat]

One was in the koppa mine but I have no clue where to find the two others 😭😭

I’ve literally found spare modules of every single other one except the one I was looking for

[broken badge]

Storage and fabrication module fragments are found in the deep twisty bridges

You know, down there where the squidshark patrols

It’s not found in Koppa Mines

I don’t recall any seatruck fragments being located inside Koppa. There’s prawn fragments but not seatruck fragments

[carmine bobcat]

Oh okay. It was quite awhile ago so I don’t exactly remember where i found stuff

Will go down and no life the twisted bridges though, Ty

It’s really a shame because all the other modules are found all at the same place near the ||sunken ship||

[eternal garnet]

fabricator is in the same area

[chrome cedar]

Not exactly, but close.

[raw nebula]

I might be hated by the terrain of the world.
I lost my vehicle again and I'm stuck at 930m underwater.
Oh. How could I lose my life for the first time over something so trivial in an environment where no creature would attack me?

[bold monolith]

If you are at 930 meters, there are creatures that could attack you.

If you do play with the latest version of the game, they won't attack an unpiloted Prawn Suit though.

Before they were.

[raw nebula]

No, me and my vehicle penetrated the terrain and went to the abyss.

[bold monolith]

Is the terrain generated properly?

It wasn't before, but now.

You might have the bug where the terrain generation is completely stuck.

[raw nebula]

Hmmm, I don't know much about it, but I think it's because it moved faster than the map loads.

[bold monolith]

Alright.

[raw nebula]

It would be useful if the release command could move the vehicle along with it...
Well, it's difficult and can be abused...

or PC spec

[bold monolith]

Are you inside a Prawn Suit?

[raw nebula]

I've already ridden away and died.

[bold monolith]

So it is a Prawn Suit that is now stuck in the abyss.

You could reload, or I could teleport it back with your save file.

[raw nebula]

I will do so from now on.

[languid oak]

I've got a question guys, but it's spoiler related- can I still ask it here??

[west mountain]

Of course just put spoiler tags around it ||like so ||.

[languid oak]

Thanks!! whats the purpose of ||curing the ice beast??|| I mean its a nice inclusion but it didnt feel very useful story wise

[west mountain]

Well, what was the sole reason you (Robbin) came to 4546B in the first place. To find out everything that happened to your sister. So persuing this task will eventually lead you to the ||frozen leviathan and the antidote Sam hide from Alterra. By curing the frozen leviathan you finish what she started and you get piece of mind regarding her death and the bacterium. Also it proves to be effective and probabely also helps AlAn in his scientific study of the bacterium. But finding peace of mind is the main goal.|| Unfortunately, this initial "main" story line gets out of focus by many players and some will finish the game without completing this task. I personally (and I am very lonely with this opinion) would have perfered that you cannot end the game without completing Sams story too. Or at least that the game makes it clear that you miss out on this before leaving.

[steel shoal]

I played this game blindly, and I did finish everything story wise. It was very easy to follow, exploration was rather quick

[steel stream]

Technically you are asked if you still have unfinished bussiness before you start the 'end game phase'

[steel shoal]

Following Sam's stuff was fun, really enjoyed it, it was my main focus throughout the playthrough

[west mountain]

Which, if you dont know what it means is very unspecific. It should have asked: Would like to leave feeling that this still important questions to answer regarding the death of your sister? Probabley you need more time here to investigate?

[vast jay]

I got warned for texting In the wrong chat

[carmine bobcat]

Sounds like typical subnautica discord moderation to me

[deep kettle]

@vast jay I assume because you used quite a bit of spoilers in that message 😉

Also @carmine bobcat if you have a concern regarding to moderation you're welcome to reach out to one of us instead of writing messages like those.

If you have a problem with one of the mods in here you're also welcome to reach out to Donya, Subnautica's community manager.

[deep kettle]

I don't feel like that message is the issue, rather that the whole thing is optional 😕

[west mountain]

And thats personally my biggest critique of the game (which I love!!!). They send you with a very elaborated backstory to the planet and as soon as you arrive it becomes optional. I think that is unnecessary and could have been better integrated with ||AlAns story||, even making some task preconditionally to the the other. But even the way it is, quite some players end the game without knowing about the ||frozen leviathan|| which I find is sad. So even if the entire Sam storyline is optional, it could have been a bit more emphasized. But its OK, this is just me personally and I have played the game many times so far. So evertime somebody claims to have "beaten the game" I kindly ask if they have ||cure the forzen levi|| and sure enough, quite some players did not. Besides that, everything is just wonderful!

[lone glen]

It's a good game but only if you've played the original imo

[sacred jungle]

probably

[fervent bloom]

I played Below Zero first, and I indeed finished the game without ||curing the leviathan||.

[languid oak]

I think it’s sad you can finish the game without seeing the ||frozen leviathan||, it’s such an interesting story and I feel like it should feel important, but I can see how for many players it isn’t.

[steel shoal]

It's weird how people don't listen to the logs and just continue the game, missing core parts of the story

Fred told us about it very early in the game

I mean, kinda early

[vast jay]

Spoilers are allowed tho

[storm imp]

as we were discussing in #subnautica-chat, weird organization

there really should be separate chat and spoilers or help channels

[deep kettle]

Your message was in #♫♪-disco-lounge-♪♫ 😉

[storm imp]

oh lol

[silver olive]

So I painted my Seatruck red. Not the best option of color. I startled myself thinking it was a Chelicerate.

[wild zodiac]

oo a wild peeper appeared, im getting my flame knife thingy.

[drowsy seal]

what do i do now

[steel shoal]

Read the PDA, the maps are very useful. Also, listen to the logs, they tell you the locations of stuff

[drowsy seal]

i turned off the thing she wanted me to and found her house

now what

[steel shoal]

Well that doesn't really say much

[drowsy seal]

wdym

[steel shoal]

You can do that very early, or very late

[drowsy seal]

hmm

[steel shoal]

Go to Phi Robotics and explore the area

It's huge, it'll give you lots of hints on what to do next

[drowsy seal]

i did that

i havent played in a while and im completely lost

[steel shoal]

Visit the alien thingies

[drowsy seal]

i cant find outpost zero or omega research

are those important

[steel shoal]

Use the maps. Yes they are.

[drowsy seal]

alr thanks

[drowsy seal]

also btw

is omega in the lilypads

[steel shoal]

In a cave. There are lightsticks and crates pointing to it

[drowsy seal]

alr thanks

[steel shoal]

There's also an Alien cable

[drowsy seal]

found the cable

now what

[steel shoal]

Follow it

It's deep in a cave

Not the red cave though

[drowsy seal]

alr

[drowsy seal]

this?

[steel shoal]

That is a different place, but it's cooler so you should explore that

[drowsy seal]

alright

[steel shoal]

I'd recommend placing a beacon there

[drowsy seal]

ok

[steel shoal]

The Alien Fossil research is a different thing, the Omega Lab is in the green area with the Mercury II and whales. There's a broken cable that leads you there

[drowsy seal]

didnt see it

theres no copper down here is there

[steel shoal]

I think there is

And there are ribbon plants as well

[drowsy seal]

kk

bruh

what the

[steel shoal]

It's red and pretty

[drowsy seal]

this isnt pretty

[steel shoal]

Your lack of spoiler tags though...

But yes, it's wonderful, I love it so much

[drowsy seal]

forgot

how do i spoiler tag

[steel shoal]

Depends on the platform. On pc, click the eye icon on the image, on mobile click the pop up of the image above the text box

[drowsy seal]

ohh yeah thanks

[west mountain]

Agreed but for an non-experienced player like me, I would have found it very difficult to seperate the important clues from the smalltalk. Many logs are just background story telling and suddently there are some very key ones that are easily overread. I would have wished that important clues would have been highlighted or emphasized a bit more, so you can really pick them up. Yes, I know it sounds a bit lame but it would have made inexperienced players a bit more aware of the importance of certain logs. Maybe its just me.

[drowsy seal]

oh?

[west mountain]

Seems important!

[drowsy seal]

very much so

bruh

[steel shoal]

I listened to all of them as I got them. They're fun.

[west mountain]

Yes. absolutely and many of them are smalltalk. But suddenly there is an important clue that might not make sense right now where you are. And then later, you did not know that it was said. That can be a bit difficult.

[steel shoal]

Okay, I may be an exception

I listened to all logs, from everyone, multiple times as I explored the areas

[west mountain]

Probabely not in this community, and you might have played many games like that. I need a bit more "assistance".

[steel shoal]

No, I just really love the Voice Acting

I am not a very big gamer person

[west mountain]

I love Fred, the low maintance seatruck guy. I am Fred in this game 🙂

[steel shoal]

Fred is so silly

Everyone is so silly

It really says a lot about Alterra

In SN, the crew members were silly, but not this much

[drowsy seal]

why did the have to put three of these guys down here

[steel shoal]

The more, the merrier

[west mountain]

Should only be two in Red Crystal

[drowsy seal]

the scan talks about "mating season" bro there are like 7 here in total just call it a family reunion

[drowsy seal]

idk but they keep spinning around until the seatruck starts moving

[west mountain]

Zapp them!

[drowsy seal]

with what

[west mountain]

With the seatruck perimeter defense upgrade module that you aquired loooong time ago in the game

[drowsy seal]

the

what

[west mountain]

Seatruck perimeter defense upgrade module. Dont tell me you play the game without that game changing device

[drowsy seal]

uhhhhh

it just so happens

i dont have that

[west mountain]

It was on the floor in ||Maidas sea base|| for you to pick up and install in your seatruck

[drowsy seal]

skull

i went past that on the wayhere

how did i miss it

[steel shoal]

I'd love to work for Alterra, honestly. The employers may be these heartless super evil guys that only care about money and expansion, but the employees. It really shows that Alterra isn't just a corporation, but a lifestyle. They give you everything you need, in exchange for your work. Makes the workers feel like they're still immature, used to being spoon-fed.

Frostpack is an amazing team, everyone is having fun, even Parvan

[drowsy seal]

i just get out of the seatruck when the leviathans get near and they just swim away

[steel shoal]

They don't attack the seatruck if you're not inside.

[west mountain]

Yes, all the characters presented in the game are normal employees that do their job and live their lifes. So nothing Alterra-like to see there.

[drowsy seal]

they dont attack it even if im inside

[steel shoal]

They attack it if you're piloting, I think

[drowsy seal]

yeah

[west mountain]

Yes, once you stand up they dont attack, but outside you will be attacked.

[drowsy seal]

ik

[west mountain]

Well if you are that far in the game without the zapper, you might as well continue without. But you might also go back and get it for the rest, just to try it.

[drowsy seal]

i mean i need to go back anyway

i have none of the things i need for this

[steel shoal]

Who would have guessed that was not as bad as everyone thought. The culture is not very nice in some aspects, specially the more profitable people who have relationship contracts and have to manage hours (looking at you, Wilson) but at least it's a nice and safe environment for everyone.

I was surprised to see that people in BZ have relationships too, that do not require managing contact hours or anything like that

[west mountain]

Because you are looking the right places.

[steel shoal]

You keep missing the spoiler tag button too

[drowsy seal]

oops

wait no

i clicked it that time

[steel shoal]

Unless it's that Discord bug that automatically clicks spoiler tags

[west mountain]

No problem, just remember the locations or drop a beacon. You have beacons with you, right

[steel shoal]

There's copper and titanium down there

[drowsy seal]

the book of mystery

[west mountain]

Excellent, how many did you find so far?

[drowsy seal]

2

[west mountain]

||skeleton and this once organ|| right?

[drowsy seal]

lemme check

yes

[west mountain]

Have fun with the third 🙂

[drowsy seal]

that makes it sound like its in some stupid difficult place

[west mountain]

Nooooo, how did I made that impression???

[steel shoal]

Sorry, it was a bug on my end. You did indeed spoiler tag messages.

[drowsy seal]

alr

[steel shoal]

It's in the coolest place for sure

||pun intended||

[drowsy seal]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[west mountain]

From the alterra facilities map, which alterra bases did you NOT visit yet?

[drowsy seal]

zero and omega

[west mountain]

You have been to Phi???

[drowsy seal]

yes

[west mountain]

Oh, maybe have another go

[drowsy seal]

?

why

[steel shoal]

Did you fix the bridge?

[west mountain]

Did you see the ||bridge||

[drowsy seal]

what bridge

[west mountain]

Ok, then definitely have another go

[steel shoal]

Yea, give it another go

[drowsy seal]

alright

[west mountain]

Do you have the ||spy pengling|| blueprint?

[drowsy seal]

yes

i havent found a use for it yet

[west mountain]

Well, then you have many more reasons to go back to the area of phi. There are two areas ||Glacial basin, which is on the Phi robotics side and over the bridge||, Both sides needs very careful inspection.

[drowsy seal]

ok

[west mountain]

And bring not only the spy penglin but also the remote control for it OK?

[drowsy seal]

ok

[steel shoal]

@latent brook do present arguments, please.

"Famous YouTuber said so" is not a valid argument, by the way.

[chrome cedar]

I always laugh when someone uses the word famous and YouTuber in the same sentence…

[broken badge]

Ahh yes, because the internet is famous for being 100% reliable😛

[fervent bloom]

Do you have a citable source for that?

[chrome cedar]

I have a picture of Abe Lincoln stating that, does that count?

[fervent bloom]

Probably not.

[humble storm]

gday boys

[fervent bloom]

Hello!

[humble storm]

wait a minute

wernet you kust in subnautica chat

[fervent bloom]

Yes.

[humble storm]

show a pic of your bz base

[fervent bloom]

I haven't actually figured out how to send images yet, so is it okay if I describe it for now?

[humble storm]

sure

what platform you on

hmm idk what to do then

so goahead jus describe

while i start my fitst survial world

freeedom regular or hardcore

[fervent bloom]

I built in the deeper parts of the Twisty Bridges. I have some foundations and growbeds, and a hatch leading into a multipurpose room with water filtration, fabricator, storage, chargers, etc. I have one corridor that I haven't done anything with yet, and the other leads to a ladder. I have an interim level with an observatory with two aquariums, and then a large room above that. It's mostly empty, but there's a kitchen and dining room area with a nice view of an oxygen plant.

[humble storm]

or custom

[humble storm]

picturin in my head

AWESOME BASE BRO

[fervent bloom]

I'd go custom, so you can change it whenever. It does disable achievements, I think, so you might want to do something else if you care about that sort of thing.

[humble storm]

tell me what i should set it as tho

[fervent bloom]

Thanks! I can let you know once I figure out how to post an image, if you'd like.

[humble storm]

tell me what i turn on and ofr

off*

[fervent bloom]

Mine is currently custom, but essentially Survival. However, I turned down creature aggression for realism, and I also am playing as a vegetarian. It's not particularly hard, actually. There are plenty of edible plants early in the game. (I'd go for frost anemones).

[humble storm]

... just look through the options and tell me what you want me to turn on and off

you can make me hardcore veagn but no hunger and 02 depletion

[fervent bloom]

Do you want it to be interesting?

[humble storm]

i want you to make a list containing all optoins beside the slider options and say yes no for off or on

idc how ya make it i'll do it

k

[fervent bloom]

Hunger: yes

[humble storm]

ok

[fervent bloom]

Thirst: yes

Body Temperature Decreases: yes

Oxygen Depletes: yes

Vehicle Crush Depth: yes

Underwater bases require reinforcements: yes

Crafting requires blueprints and resources: both yes

Technology requires power: yes

Story: yes

Initial Equipment Pack: no

Allow Permanent Death: yes

[humble storm]

you are naming defualt rn

[fervent bloom]

Turn off all of the alerts.

Also, you can't use organic oxygen sources and you're a vegetarian.

[humble storm]

wanna set up my sliders?

[fervent bloom]

I'll leave that to you....

[humble storm]

ok this'll be fun : )

there is pain behind that smile rn

[fervent bloom]

You may change these at any time.

[humble storm]

im doing it how you want

if you wanna change it tell me

[fervent bloom]

For the record, I don't really care what you choose; do whatever is funnest!

[humble storm]

i want to try someones elses idea tho

[fervent bloom]

Okay, then go with it. : )

[humble storm]

HERE WE GOOOOO!

[fervent bloom]

Well, that's what I like! They're default for a reason.

[humble storm]

crazy how 4546B went from straight ocean to FREZZING ISLANDS!

[fervent bloom]

I think it makes sense for different parts of the planet to have different climates.

[humble storm]

then wbt marquite madia

she was semi-introduced to us in the first game

but now we see her

a little odd eh

[fervent bloom]

She gets here by ||riding the floating carcass of a dead Reaper leviathan. The skull is now on the wall of her base.||

[humble storm]

yeah but a leviathan wouldnt hold nuff meat to keep float after a week or two

[chrome dock]

them things pretty big man idk

[fervent bloom]

I suppose if you ration it it could be okay. Still, ||she got lucky||.

[humble storm]

now that makes sense

got a scanner now lol

[fervent bloom]

What are you going to scan first?

[humble storm]

hopefully glider

almost drowned

but got food

[fervent bloom]

What's for dinner?

[humble storm]

peeper boomerang aaaand a side of hoopfish

[fervent bloom]

Wait, aren't you a vegetarian?

[humble storm]

CRAP

nope

frick fish im gobblin them down like tomorow doesnt exist

[fervent bloom]

You ate them already? You can switch the settings if you'd like.

[humble storm]

just did

[fervent bloom]

Wait, does that mean that you can't eat fish anymore, or you can?

[humble storm]

i disabled vegan till i find a good vegan source

what happened on Obraxis Prime

[fervent bloom]

There was probably a massacre or something; I don't think it's established.

[humble storm]

know what we got 12 devs on

[fervent bloom]

I think you're not supposed to bother them.

[humble storm]

uhh i dont read the rules lol but i said sorry

i need lore

[proud finch]

how do u get the multipurpose tool

[fervent bloom]

There is plenty, if you find the right PDAs.

[proud finch]

is that to craft the moon pool i forgot

[fervent bloom]

Are you looking for the habitat builder?

[proud finch]

probably yea

yes i am

[fervent bloom]

Have you been to the ||Delta Island|| yet? If you head up to the top, you can find a fragment. You only need one.

[proud finch]

it’s my second time playing it so probably what is it tho

ohhh is it when the ||the girl with the mech suit||

[fervent bloom]

You'll get a beacon for ||Delta Station Dock||. The fragment is at the ||station|| at the top, probably on a crate.

[safe sun]

Be sure to read them while you're muted. Behave when you come back.

[fervent bloom]

Exactly! That's ||Marguerite Maida||.

[proud finch]

oh thank you

[storm imp]

that ain't a good habit to have

[proud finch]

i’m here i can’t find it ):

nevermind!!

[humble storm]

and i'm back hi

[knotty field]

Anyone know all of the locations of the little pet things sorry I forgot the name

[hard gate]

In the ice spires, the big anemone place, and an iceberg

[knotty field]

Sweet thanks i’ll go get them now

[hard gate]

If you want the exact locations then you can search it up

[eternal garnet]

Blue locations. The lower is inside an iceberg. You jump over from another berg in a prawn or bike.
Gold is in deep lilypads, in a dead end cave, under a loop plant

[knotty field]

Tyty

[eternal garnet]

if you go looking for a video on trivalve locations, pick the one by 1up nerdcore

[west mountain]

Good morning, what a beautiful day to get our feet wet

[sacred jungle]

Ye

[deep kettle]

Swimming in water near the freezing point doesn't sound very great though 😆

[sacred jungle]

Wait subnautica below zero is water related?

[eternal garnet]

psst, ice is made from water

[gritty ginkgo]

Mind. Blown.

[steel shoal]

What is water, but weak ice?

[gritty ginkgo]

Yeah. Water is just more dense.

[storm imp]

and more malleable

if you crush/shred ice fine enough, does it become water at some point while still being frozen? 🤔

[gritty ginkgo]

Well, yes, but I don't think we need to get into how fine of a cut you'd have to do here to take it from 4 bonded molecules to ~3. Instead, that's better suited for off-topic or just not at all because why? lol

[agile lantern]

I'm gonna watch a video on this iceberg, does it contain any bz spoilers?

[fervent bloom]

I always feel like Robin must hate getting in the frigid water after a night sleeping in a cozy base.

[fervent bloom]

It doesn't look like it.

[steel shoal]

It has lots of spelling mistakes and such, but has no BZ stuff.

Incredibly inaccurate "Time capsules are randomly generated" "taming stalkers"

[storm imp]

this iceberg looks like crap

[steel shoal]

It doesn't look like, it is. "Degassi"

[storm imp]

kek

and some of those "deeper" ones are pretty common knowledge in the game

[steel shoal]

Peeper leviathan is a meme :)

[storm imp]

also tf

[steel shoal]

One of the songs uses Donald Trump saying China

[storm imp]

huh. which one?

[steel shoal]

I don't remember, but it's used as a background noise

[storm imp]

all fauna being one sex shows up earlier in the game than the ||reaper skele in the lava zone||

[agile lantern]

aight well thanks guys

[steel shoal]

We should probably move this to #memes-and-media

[agile lantern]

imma like never touch this channel again

until I finish the base game

[storm imp]

good idea

[agile lantern]

oh and do you guys recommend me adding like a map mod/snap building/keep inv mods on my first playthrough of bz

hm ig map would affect gameplay too much

[steel shoal]

no

except snap building, that's fine

[agile lantern]

what about like extra quick slots

like up to 8

[steel shoal]

overkill

6 is enough

[storm imp]

5 is enough

[steel shoal]

yea sorry typo

[agile lantern]

ic

aight thx

I'll see you guys in a month

[steel shoal]

see you when you finish BZ

[agile lantern]

o7

[dim onyx]

I want a t-shirt that says I ❤️ ||Marguerit Maida||

[steel shoal]

I don't know, I don't really like her. But if it said I ❤️ Fred...

[dim onyx]

Real

[next current]

So true.

[sacred jungle]

OH NOO

[sacred jungle]

Exactly

[burnt aurora]

i love glass (building a megabase rn)

[sacred jungle]

I need a lot of glass for my future base

[burnt aurora]

yeah me too thats why i got this glass

[burnt aurora]

i tried docking with my fabrication module but somehow this happened instead

there was good stuff in there too

[candid basin]

They get ripped off if you dock into a moonbase. Didn't think it did damage tho

[burnt aurora]

no i wanted to dock by just shoving the back of my seatruck into the module

i think i shoved too hard

[candid basin]

🤣

[burnt aurora]

btw whats the best way to get lead

[steel stream]

Park the cabin nearby, exit, grab the handle on top of module and drive the module to the back of the cabin (or other module)...easier to attach modules and keeping them intact

[burnt aurora]

yeah but im lazy

tried to do it the fast way

[steel stream]

Well, how fast was it😜

[burnt aurora]

too fast

[fervent bloom]

I think the only way to get it is from galena outcrops.

[burnt aurora]

im already out of glass

[fervent bloom]

It always goes very fast for me.

[bold monolith]

Ask in #subnautica-chat please. As you aren't playing Below Zero.

[sacred jungle]

Big shrimp

[weak tree]

can anyone help me in subnautica below zero idk what to do i need help if anyone can help me dm me

[chrome cedar]

Break rocks, build tools, scan everything

[weak tree]

not abt that ....

Am not a starter

it abt something else ........

[steel shoal]

Such as...?

[weak tree]

finding the prawn suit parts

am missing 1 and cant find it :l

[steel shoal]

Have you been to Koppa Mining Site?

[weak tree]

that the problem i cant find it

[steel shoal]

You can find more parts in the large Mercury II wreck, in the green place.

[steel shoal]

The mining site? Have you visited the Delta outpost?

[weak tree]

i tried

[weak tree]

YES

100 times and even watched tuto

found nothing at all

can u plssss help am tired of staying 100 hours searching all places

[steel shoal]

You probably have a map of all the facilities. It's very helpful

[weak tree]

i searched every places 40 times

today

[steel shoal]

It is SW of the island, underground.

[weak tree]

what?

[steel shoal]

South West

[weak tree]

i told u idk where to find it even searched at the green garden

[chrome cedar]

Koppa is ||behind Delta, south side||. Look for a deep trench going down, there will be lights and crates at the bottom.

[weak tree]

even searched at the alien place

even near the diamond cave

[chrome cedar]

You’re searching the wrong spots for prawn fragments…

[steel shoal]

You're not searching properly.

[weak tree]

i can share my screen and show u i visited every single spot

i cant find it

[steel shoal]

The map you scanned in Delta has all the facilities, you can find Prawn fragments in the wreck near Omega, in Zero and in Koppa

[chrome cedar]

Obviously your screen isn’t showing the right spot then…

[weak tree]

i tried searching under delta 10 times

and my seatruck almost got fully destroyed

for that

[chrome cedar]

That’s where you want to be.

[weak tree]

ik how it look like idk where it is

[weak tree]

yes that it

[steel shoal]

Once you get to Delta, head SW, and hug the ground

Eventually, you'll find trenches with crates and lightsticks

[weak tree]

hug the ground = am dead

[steel shoal]

?

[weak tree]

there is weird dragon things

idk what they are fr

they fr almost killed me 1 million times

[chrome cedar]

[steel shoal]

That's a lot of times.

[weak tree]

and i cant dodge them

[steel shoal]

You can turn off lights

[weak tree]

theres are too many of them

[weak tree]

i tried that but i couldnt see ....

[chrome cedar]

Do you have the repair tool yet?

[weak tree]

and i hit one of them ...

[chrome cedar]

Hitting them is fine…

[weak tree]

if i didnt my seatruck wouldve been destroyed by now

[weak tree]

they attacked me for that

so idk what to do

so hugging the ground = they will all rush me

[steel shoal]

If you don't hug the ground, you won't find the cave, and end up losing time.

[weak tree]

well if i do hug the ground they will kill me

[steel shoal]

They won't, trust me

[weak tree]

plus they are super creepy

[chrome cedar]

Ok. Find the ||Delta beacon. Circle around as close to the island as you can get and just below the water depth||. Watch the terrain, when you see it drop off as you’re circling around, go deep. That’s the spot you’re after.

[weak tree]

btw how deep is it?

[chrome cedar]

About 150m

[weak tree]

phew

[weak tree]

well

rip

[next current]

The Alterra Facilities Map helps a lot when trying to locate it.

[chrome cedar]

Your truck can go on the doors sideways, but takes some wiggling. Not always worth the effort to try.

[weak tree]

theres a shadow Leviathan wow

[steel shoal]

Yea, I told them about it...

[weak tree]

idk how i forgot abt that

so am dead

[next current]

Oh. :(

[weak tree]

so can u tell me how to pass when theres a shadow leviathan

[steel shoal]

Weird, last time I was there I didn't find any hostile creatures. other than rock punchers

[weak tree]

well maybe it a glitch idk

[steel shoal]

You're either self-sabotaging, using mods or simply in the wrong place.

[weak tree]

bcz theres is a shadow leviathan fr

[chrome cedar]

None in that area. Ever. During normal gameplay at least.

[steel shoal]

Could you share a picture?

[weak tree]

if im alive i could

[chrome cedar]

[steel shoal]

Open pause menu, take screenshot

[weak tree]

u mean screen shot the cave?

[steel shoal]

Yes.

[weak tree]

well it the cave at green house

under it

isnt that it?

[chrome cedar]

The mining site isn’t anywhere near there.

[fervent bloom]

Is there a way to get a Prawn suit through? There are those big mineral chunks inside that you have to drill.

[chrome cedar]

Yes, also sideways and wiggling.

[fervent bloom]

Ah, I'll have to do that next time I'm there. I haven't actually explored it yet in my current game.

Which ||Alterra facility|| do you all explore first? I typically start with ||Outpost Zero|| or maybe ||Delta Station||.

[chrome cedar]

For me, ||Zero then Delta||. Gets you lots of scannables quickly. Not recommending that order for an initial playthrough. That demands more of a struggle for the exploration. 😎

Maybe not as much of a struggle as some folks seem to have, though….

[fervent bloom]

The first time playing, I just went exploring along the coast and stumbled upon the ||Outpost||. At the time, I thought Robin landed on an island. Let's just say, I eventually had my first leviathan encounter.

[chrome cedar]

😂

[fervent bloom]

Those ||void chelicerates|| sure are hungry!

[chrome cedar]

They haven’t had a good meal since Alterra cleared out.

[noble ravine]

i mean unlike ghost they need actual fish to survive so its kinda stupid that they go live there in the first place

[fervent bloom]

We were talking a week or two ago about how they might be the mutated, oldest ||chelicerates|| that had gone out into the Void to die; thus, they wouldn't necessarily be eating much, which explains the decaying appearance.

[broken badge]

They’re zombie chelis🧟‍♀️

[fervent bloom]

Indeed! I think it's a fairly good explanation.

[fervent bloom]

I'm currently exploring the ||Koppa Mining Site|| and getting resources from the rock punchers.

[chrome cedar]

They’re hiding from Maida.

[fervent bloom]

I wonder how big the juveniles are, e.g. the one she took the mandible from.

[chrome cedar]

Not sure on that.

[tacit comet]

Salmon have a similar appearance iirc when they’ve returned to their spawning grounds. They focus completely on laying eggs, and they literally start to fall apart a bit. It’s kind of sad.

[gusty cedar]

||If there were 147 trillion precursors, and they were obviously spread far and wide and super advanced, then why hadn't traces of them been seen before? buildings? its weird that such a big race even if it was super old wouldnt be noticed now that humans have also got space travel. Surely at least the higher ups in alterra know of their existence right?||

[tacit comet]

||It’s possible 4546B is just on the fringe of their systems? So maybe it’s far even for them? Perhaps they’re just good at hiding things, and Alterra just happened to discover them.||

Honestly, we don’t really know.

I don’t think any Alterra higher ups know of this, beyond what the individuals in BZ know

[gusty cedar]

very strange indeed

[tacit comet]

Indeed

Yes

[gusty cedar]

mm, havent played bz so not sure what the lore includes there, other than that theres a ||precursor or something named alan||, which I guess confirms that the ||precursors arent humans from before earth got destroyed||

[tacit comet]

But you should most certainly finish and understand SN1’s story first.

[tacit comet]

Precursors definitely aren’t human from earth.

Not sure where that came from, never heard that before

They’re a different species/race entirely

Aliens, essentially.

[gusty cedar]

just a thought I had, considering the whole "post-MAD earth" and such

[tacit comet]

Oh, lol.

I’d assume that that info is just a bit of flavor for the radiation suit.

[gusty cedar]

mhm

[tacit comet]

Imo, it doesn’t confirm a post MAD situation on earth

[gusty cedar]

true, the way I read it I thought it was implied but didnt give it much thought

[tacit comet]

It suggests the possibility, but there’s no proof or evidence to back it up

Yup

[west mountain]

Gooooood morning 4546B! The weather forecast for today is Below Zero!

[azure ginkgo]

At me it says 420 because i'm in the ||shadow leviathan||

[west mountain]

In your base or looking for stuff?

[azure ginkgo]

Looking for kyanite

[west mountain]

Then you are at the right place! Should be easy to find....

[azure ginkgo]

Yeah altho am scared for shadow

[west mountain]

Dont worry Levi is a nice guy only its ||four brothers are mean|| so make sure not to confuse them 🙂

[azure ginkgo]

I found his brother than

[west mountain]

Oh, yea, then you might have a close encouter. Did you zapp him?

[azure ginkgo]

Yeah altho can you put perimitor defense inside prawn suit

[west mountain]

No, thats the big advantage of the seatruck! The zapper is amazing (almost a bit too good imho).

[west mountain]

Yes, no zapper here, you have to get back.

[azure ginkgo]

Altho if i sit i will die because than they will attack me

[west mountain]

I built a base right on the edge of the dead zone. When I am in my main base all is fine and when I walk to the observatory it triggers the void chellis and they come. Very nice to oserve them from within then glas observatory.

[west mountain]

Is this prawn or seatruck? Prawn right?

[azure ginkgo]

Seatruck

[west mountain]

Then you are missing the zapper right?

[azure ginkgo]

Yes

[west mountain]

Or what are the two upgrades?

I would go an get it before going down here

[eternal garnet]

you have two depth upgrades. This is being very silly

[azure ginkgo]

Uhmm death moduled

[azure ginkgo]

Yeah cause i forgot that i had 1

So i crafted another

[west mountain]

Well no harm in that but not having the perimeter defense upgrade is bad down there

You know where to get it from right?

[azure ginkgo]

I do altho i forgot to put in

[west mountain]

You have it with you are back in your base?

[azure ginkgo]

Yes

[west mountain]

So i would go back and just grab the kyanite you need and prepare the seatruck for the journey down there.

With the zapper

Otherwise it will be painful

[west mountain]

Also here, zapp will do the job

[azure ginkgo]

Uhmm i did not put in yet

Bio reactor gonna eat good today

[west mountain]

its not the best fuel you can get.

Btw you can put penglins in aquarium in your base. They look cute in the aquarium.

[burnt aurora]

you monster

[tawny notch]

bois

im booting up sbz rn for the first time

[west mountain]

Wow, so much fun ahead!!! Congratulation

[tawny notch]

uh well

its just a black screen with the custom blue mouse the subnautica games have

[west mountain]

Oh, thats a rough start then

[tawny notch]

has that happened to u before?

[west mountain]

No, can't help here, don't even know what you are playing on

[tawny notch]

laptop

[west mountain]

Specs are suitable for the game? BZ is more resource-hungry than SN.

[tawny notch]

specs?

whats specs

[west mountain]

Laptop specs, is it a gaming laptop suitable for the game?

[tawny notch]

idk i dont think so

it aint a rgb gaming laptop or sh its ASUS

the mouse

like the blue game mouse is here,

its just everything else

is black

[burnt aurora]

depends on the specs of the gamingf laptop

[west mountain]

Thats what I answered, why you reply to me

[burnt aurora]

oh wait im dumb nvm

[west mountain]

np, all fine. Just cant help the player with the issue

[burnt aurora]

specs is short for specificiations, or in other words the components in your laptop

you can view those in task manager

[burnt aurora]

3 large quartz lets go

[eternal garnet]

are you on steam?

[burnt aurora]

megabase progress

[narrow wagon]

They should make the void chelicerates scannable ain't gon lie

[eternal garnet]

it's scannable, but it shares entry with chelicherate

[sacred jungle]

So

If you scan the chelicerate you basically scan the void chelicerate

[strong bloom]

where do i find blueprints for the uhh

mobile vehicle bay

[sacred jungle]

Omg did you get bz,

I found mine at sea monke nests

[strong bloom]

hey mats :)

[broken badge]

There can be mobile vehcile bay fragments also scattered along the seabed in the twisty bridges area as well, just lying around

[eternal garnet]

lying about in the sand, these

[strong bloom]

bro almost ate me

[eternal garnet]

well, there's always next time. Better luck next time, shrimpy

[burnt aurora]

its weird how the original subnautica has terrifying sea creatures that scare 99% of people who play it but below zero is like: b i g s h r i m p

[eternal garnet]

ah but that's not all

[strong bloom]

i pooped my pants when i got munched by the guy below the twisty corals

[fervent bloom]

Did you get the scan?

[strong bloom]

naw he ran off

[fervent bloom]

Oh, yes - the squidshark! I like them, but they're terrifying. That particular one chased me into a spikey trap.

[fervent bloom]

Perhaps they get more scared when they encounter the ||Shadow Leviathan||.

[strong bloom]

how much hull integrity is necessary?

just below sea level

[steel stream]

As long as your base integrity is more than 0, you're good

[steel shoal]

When people say big shrimp, I always think of Rock Punchers

Chelis are nice, they feel like great white shakrs

[fervent bloom]

I don't necessarily think of the rock puncher, but I don't feel that the chelicerate is particularly shrimp-like. I like that they sometimes poke their heads out of the water, like the spy-hopping orcas do.

[steel shoal]

Great white sharks also do that

[burnt aurora]

thats not scary either

its not scary because of the perimeter defense upgrade for the seatruck

just one click and you're no longer being attacked

[steel shoal]

I recklessness made me very scared of the long fish

I went with a prawn, not a seatruck

[burnt aurora]

so? it only does like 30 damage at a time

and then it leaves you alone for a while

its not like the subnautica reapers which hold onto your seamoth until its almost broken

[steel shoal]

Well, you see, they're really big, and they vomit acid over your prawn

And they were very aggressive towards me for some reason, apparently more than usual

I was very scared

[burnt aurora]

i just hold drill them and they leave me alone

i even chase them with my grapple hook and they run away

[steel shoal]

Ew you drill the fish?? How rude

[burnt aurora]

they attacked first so

[steel shoal]

And???

[burnt aurora]

self defense

[steel shoal]

Yea, whatever, you can call it whatever you want

[burnt aurora]

also they dont roar in the distance for some reason

[steel shoal]

I personally really liked the levi, I felt in danger all the time, and was very scared until I kinda got over it

I don't like reapers, this levi is much better (and cooler)

[burnt aurora]

i think im just desensitized to it, its more an annoyance than something scary

if the seatruck perimeter defense upgrade wasnt so powerful maybe it would be more scary

[steel shoal]

I was scared at first, but now I just appreciate them

Especially the Ice Worm

[burnt aurora]

the ice worm is more of a cool thing to look at than actual danger (at least when im in my prawn suit)

tbh i hate how easy below zero is, they made exploring tight spaces signfically easier by adding oxygen plants, leviathans do less damage and are less scary, more linear story, etc

[steel shoal]

I liked it, it allowed me to admire the places a lot better, oxygen plants are really really great. I was scared that Mercury exploration would be annoying because of being underwater, but it worked really well

[burnt aurora]

ye but i prefer the terror of subnautica, it enchances survival experiance for me

[steel stream]

You don't get similar thrill of deciding whether to explore a wreck more or exit for air supply as in the first game

[burnt aurora]

exactly

[proud idol]

I'm in the middle of below zero and I agree, story is more linear and pacing is steady, but the music, the views, this small thrill - I'm really enjoying that. Wish map was a little bit bigger

[fervent bloom]

I thought so, but I wasn't entirely sure, and didn't want to give inaccurate information.

[grizzled shuttle]

bro

yal know that ice hole near

that womans greenhouse

how do i get through is and what is in it??

[fervent bloom]

Is it inside an iceberg?

[grizzled shuttle]

yuh

[fervent bloom]

To get through, you'll need a laser cutter. There's an air-filled chamber inside with some rare minerals, like diamonds and magnetite, as well as some copper.

[grizzled shuttle]

tysm

[fervent bloom]

You're welcome. I explored it for the first time a few days ago.

[fervent bloom]

Does anyone here use the ||teleportation module|| for the Seatruck?

[chrome cedar]

Never did. To me it doesn’t seem terribly useful.

[limpid drum]

Question, would it be worth it to build a surface base in the glacial basin

[fervent bloom]

I suppose it would be good if you're on hardcore and about to get eaten.

[limpid drum]

There seems to be a lot of cool biomes but im not sure about resources just yet

[fervent bloom]

Why not? I was thinking of doing the same.

[limpid drum]

Only thing I would be concerned with is lack of places for a seatruck and lack of coral for computer chips

Then again though

Theres quite a few big pools of water with direct ocean connection

[fervent bloom]

You could build a Seatruck dock/moonpool/etc. base at the end.

[limpid drum]

Your saying like a I corridor connected to one or more of those?

At the end of the ocean path?

[fervent bloom]

I wasn't thinking they'd be connected, but it could be a nearby place for docking. Plus, you could have plenty of room for underwater growbeds on a foundation.

[limpid drum]

Yeah thats what I was thinking too

Just a short swim to another base with all the essentials but uh... not much else

Maybe a scanner room there aswell so I can get some resources from the area

also if I do actually want to build this surface base

Do the steam vents give thermal reactors enough power?

[fervent bloom]

That's probably a good plan. Plus, it's a stopover for resource gathering.

[limpid drum]

(talking about the ones on the surface)

[fervent bloom]

I'm guessing that they don't, but I'd have to try it. Do you know what temperature they get to?

[limpid drum]

well they can get hot enough to burn you

[fervent bloom]

They can? I know that that's what the scan says, but I didn't know that it actually occurred.

[limpid drum]

Im not entirely sure

[fervent bloom]

You could also try one of the vents in the flooded ice tunnels.

[limpid drum]

I swear I stood on one for too long and got burned

its so difficult trying to decide on a base when I know barely any biomes and not trying to spoil the game by looking stuff up

[fervent bloom]

I might experiment with it, or take the prawn suit up to see how hot it gets (once I build it)

[fervent bloom]

Do you want suggestions?

[limpid drum]

my current base is in the deepest part of the regular twisty bridges (not the deep twisty bridges though) near ||Delta Station|| but

I dont know it feels constricted and too empty

[fervent bloom]

That's where I built as well. I would add living quarters, windows, and plants to make it less empty, if you'd like.

[limpid drum]

not my base being empty
like the area is just... boring?

Resources are great there but uh

Thats really the only benefit from it

.
Honestly if I wanted a surface base but still with the benefits of an underwater base, maybe I could build on some floating ice and have an underwater section

Or maybe on the ||lilipads|| if your able to build on those

[fervent bloom]

Oh, my bad. I think it's a pretty cool place myself, but to each their own.

[limpid drum]

so I looked up a map to get a better idea of where to build (dont worry I've seen most of the surface parts already and I turned off all the pins, no spoilers for the most part), what is this?

[fervent bloom]

You certainly can, though there are more interesting places for above-water bases.

[fervent bloom]

It might be a very large, featureless ice sheet or glacier, or something that's part of the map but difficult to access and not very useful.

[limpid drum]

im gonna be honest I was trying to get to ||phi robotics|| but then found the (spoiler warn.) ||frozen leviathan spot|| instead

by total accident just now

[fervent bloom]

How did you miss ||Phi Robotics|| and get to the ||Excavation Site||?

[limpid drum]

I dont know

[steel shoal]

There's a cave somewhere under the iceberg that leads there instead

[limpid drum]

Thats what I took

Mistakingly-

I found the ||security guys bedroom|| and then the ||leviathan||

[steel shoal]

I almost went there before a lot of the game, but I'm glad I didn't. I found the Omega lab first and that explained a lot of the story, also outpost zero

[fervent bloom]

It ends up directly at the ||Excavation Site||? Where is it?

[steel shoal]

I don't know, it has a bunch of eye jellies

[limpid drum]

thats def where I was

It leads like ~300m away from it

at least the entrance of it

[fervent bloom]

Also, I've cut through the ice walls in the large iceberg near ||Marguerite's Greenhouse|| and the one that leads to the ||Arctic Spires||, but are there any other ice walls in the game?

[chrome cedar]

I remember once I had my prawn parked on one and had the thermal module installed. The battery did charge while parked, so it may generate some power. But solar may be a better plan, sufficient materials around to build a few panels without taking supplies with you.

[fervent bloom]

Good point about the thermal charging; I think you're right that it would work with a thermal plant. I suppose your power choice depends on what you plan to have in your base: for example, water filtration.

[chrome cedar]

Well, that works poorly when not under water.

Usually I set up a scanner room to hunt for resources, battery charger and fabricator. Two solar panels is usually plenty.

[fervent bloom]

I haven't disturbed or scanned anything there, but I found it, and it's terrifying.

[fervent bloom]

It's not the tunnel at the end of the ||Architect cable|| that leads to the ||teleporter||, right?

[steel shoal]

Wha

I don't know

It leads to an area with baby stalkers

[fervent bloom]

I wish you could steal the intact Prawn suit in the ||Phi Excavation Site||.

[fervent bloom]

I love baby stalkers! I have a picture frame of one standing on it's hind legs outside in my base.

[steel shoal]

There's an intact prawn suit there?

I thought it was in the ice cube

[chrome cedar]

It’s accessible. You can walk all the way around it.

So many prawns. And you can’t open their storage or steal their power cells…

[fervent bloom]

Yeah, there is. It's just standing there, down in the tunnel.

[steel shoal]

It's all broken though

[chrome cedar]

So they shouldn’t mind having their parts raided…

[steel shoal]

I wonder what happened to everyone else though, Fred left his shaving kit behind...

[chrome cedar]

I thought there was a pda entry about them ||abandoning the bases||. But don’t recall…

[steel shoal]

If there is, thank you

Pls don't spoil anyone

I will find it out myself

[chrome cedar]

[fervent bloom]

Speaking of, does anyone put that in their base?

[steel shoal]

I do

[fervent bloom]

Okay, I suppose. I've been working on my base, though I don't really know what to do with the rest of my large room.

[steel shoal]

Plants, counters and walls

[fervent bloom]

Those are always good options. I have a nice kitchen/dining room area that I'm very happy with.

[steel shoal]

Did you use that trick of putting multiple executive desks next to each other?

[fervent bloom]

No, I never have. I have a bar table, two swivel chairs, two counters end-to-end, and some shelves, a fridge, etc.

I want to use some plant shelves once I get those.

I should really figure out how to get my screenshots to the computer, so I can post them.

[steep pelican]

it is criminal to not let me put a bed here

[sacred jungle]

Yeah theres an unfrozen prawnsuit there. With i drill arm IIRC

[sacred jungle]

Maybe put observation.

[steep pelican]

enameled glass requiring diamond moment

[limpid drum]

oh yeah solar exists.... and it probably works well on the surface....

[limpid drum]

Theres quite a few diamonds at around ||300m in the Deep Twisty Bridges||, pretty easy to get early game especially with a seatruck available. I found like 10 diamonds there which was a good amount to start with

Only other spot I know of is in the mineral crevices or whatever they are called and the ||Koppa Mining Site (which you can also get rubies from)||

[west mountain]

Oh there are many other spots for diamonds but the two you mentioned are somewhat the first ones the player discovers due to the story.

[proud idol]

I had problems with diamonds at beginning as well - found some in deep twisty bridges, just enough for upgrade for Seatruck!

[west mountain]

Cotrect, thats in line with the story. But there are many other spots for diamonds as well.

[steel stream]

And then there's the option to use monkeys...

[steep pelican]

can someone give me a spoiler free hint as to where the mobile vehicle bay fragments are, ive found like 20 seatruck frags and only a single bay frag

[bold monolith]

The starting areas.

[eternal garnet]

look for these (link) #below-zero-chat message

[vestal delta]

I having issue peeper animation froze why

[strong bloom]

Because something’s wrong with your game

[vestal delta]

What is?!

[strong bloom]

Idk

[storm imp]

unfortunately I don't think we have streaming perms here. idk why.

[deep kettle]

We decided we didn't want to deal with the moderation that comes from it, we already had a lot of issues in the past with the voice chats and don't want to add streams on top of it.

[bold monolith]

Your computer is too strong for Below Zero Nathaniels.

[vast idol]

Mercury II?
Getting trapped?

Pffttttt

Ah crap theres a depth limit for these

day ruined

[steel shoal]

Luckily, there's a bunch of oxygen plants

[fervent bloom]

What sort of floppy thing? Is it an orange-and-black creature?

[west mountain]

Now you can build a lot of toilets, sinks and showers! Also because you cannot recycle them.

Pinnacarids. You can feed them fish underwater.

[vast idol]

I spent half of my titanium storage on those

luckily metal savage is a thing

[west mountain]

Yes, but there is plenty of Titanum in the world. Just keep the pipes for base building.

[fervent bloom]

They're one of my favorite creatures. Are you sure you can't feed them on land?

[vast idol]

Im wondering

can you use the pipe as a cage

[west mountain]

Probabely not. But feel free to experiment. its for sinks, toilets and showers in your bases. Just store them for the time being.

[west mountain]

Yes, they are amazing. I don't know if you can feed them on land, you try.

[vast idol]

I wish those were the cuddle fish of bz

Slight;y dissapointed tbh

[fervent bloom]

Will do. Regardless, they're adorable.

[fervent bloom]

I never thought of that, but that would be perfect! They can even go on land.

[west mountain]

The BZ ||trivalve|| can also follow you on land

[vast idol]

waddling is cooler

[fervent bloom]

Agreed. I like the ||trivalve||, but the pinnacarid would be so cool. Really, why can't there be multiple pet/friend animals?

[vast idol]

You're on 4546b to do anything but cuddling with animals

[west mountain]

At least you can have them in your alien containment tank in your base and swim with then whenever you feel like

[fervent bloom]

Well, you can explore an alien world and make cuddly friends along the way. I wish either ||trivalves|| or pinnacarids could come inside your base and walk around, the way ||Preston|| does.

[keen cloud]

My biggest flex is that I scanned a leviathan while it was alive

[west mountain]

Correct, trivalves should be allowed inside your base. Imagine you come back and it sits in your bed waiting for you

[fervent bloom]

I always do the same. Which one was it?

[vast idol]

my biggest flex is that I made my base in the || ventgarden || biome on the first 6 hour of the game

[vestal delta]

Elaborate.

[fervent bloom]

The ||Tree Spires|| would be a beautiful base location. How deep did you build?

[keen cloud]

Red white one

Pretty new to the game wouldn’t know what it was I found it at like 400 m depth

[vast idol]

I didnt want to get in the angry red shrimp's way too much so I made my base near the wreck

[fervent bloom]

That's impressive to dive that deep early. If you'd like, it's called the ||chelicerate||.

[keen cloud]

Ohw Nice

It wasn’t early game tho

Cyclops brought me down there

It was in normal subnautica

[fervent bloom]

Oh, so that's the ||Reaper Leviathan||. It's also difficult to scan without being eaten.

[storm imp]

spoilers for sn

and bz

they're not censored, just covered with temporary spoiler tags

[strong bloom]

I don’t know

[keen cloud]

I thought the reaper was only close to the destroyed ship

[storm imp]

||there are 10 around the aurora, 7 in the mountains, and 8 in the dunes.||

also, #subnautica-chat

[steel shoal]

@wet idol ||The Aliens knew about the Enzyme 42, but they didn't know how to hatch the eggs. They theorized that the Dragon's eggs would hatch in a similar way, but trying to study them resulted in everyone dying. Ryley then allowed the Enzyme to spread, and it might've entered the composition of plants and such. Data of the Kharaa and the Enzyme are available for scientists, so she might have taken a look and made her own antidote. She was studying with other sciency people, so I suppose she learned a thing or two. It is possible that the antidote was easy to make.||

[clever crow]

i'm starting a new save. i'm immediately reminded that you can't collect these plants for decoration. literally unplayable

[steel shoal]

Same, I was so upset

[drowsy seal]

RAHHHH

[storm imp]

I'm doing a no prawn no seaglide run and I keep seeing so many seaglide fragments

[vestal delta]

Then why did you say that?

Also yes I was playing it on my alt

That doesn't mean that should happen though

Also 150fps average on my specs which is nice

Oh wait. There's something much more I'd want explained

Why does my GPU coil whine get louder if I set fps limit to its max?

[west mountain]

The most beautiful one you can collect and plant is the spotted dockleave. Its such a beauty!

[west mountain]

There are tons of fragments in the game but by definition you never see the ones you need the most.

[sacred jungle]

Poor guy

[vestal delta]

rtx.

[sacred jungle]

Oh ots a pc question

I cant help

PS gamer here

[storm imp]

yeap

[clever crow]

it's perfectly alive. just dead inside

[storm imp]

because the gpu is doing more

[drowsy seal]

he deservedit

[vestal delta]

Yes but coil whine doesn't really happen in like CS2

if you make frames unlimited same in Minecraft

[sacred jungle]

W a t h e d o

[sacred jungle]

If that is all

[drowsy seal]

he looked at me funny

[vestal delta]

It could be the ray tracing but idk shouldn't really happen just seems like devs gave up half way

[drowsy seal]

and didnt leave me alone

[vestal delta]

Like my build is literally from last year

[sacred jungle]

Banish him to the depths of the shadow realm

[drowsy seal]

he is in hell now

[vestal delta]

No more updates bug fixes or whatever

[drowsy seal]

dont worry

[sacred jungle]

Good

Ever thought a frog could be so cruel?

[vestal delta]

I also kidnapped all the penglings and put them in my locker 😂😂😂😂

*insert Charlie Wincott laugh

ahahahhaaaaa dudodudodududedodudededudo.

[storm imp]

Seatruck in 47 minutes with no seaglide. Not bad.

[sacred jungle]

Indeed

[vestal delta]

Y coil whinethough

[carmine bobcat]

Is there anyway to activate beacons like if i want the alien to tell me where ||artifact pk8|| is how do i get them to or is it just random

[limpid drum]

Just random for the most part, look in beacon manager to see any available beacons (they can be turned off after visiting, so if your missing one check that)
Also note that the ||alien artifacts|| are kinda a spoiler

.
the aquarium module for the seatruck now that I think about it is not practical in the slightest-

sure it catches some fish for you but its so much easier to just step out for 3 seconds, collect some fish and cook them in your fabricator

pretty much is only a recreational module

[idle spindle]

so Titanium ingot in SN1 needs 10 Titanium in BZ only 5 why this change needed does BZ have lack of titanium?

[limpid drum]

BZ, titanium is slightly more rare

Not significantly, but early game you can only find it in resource chunks (limestone, galena, etc.), and you only start to see metal salvage mid-game

In lore this is because uh... well a giant multi-billion dollar ship didn't crash here, so only small ships like the ||mercury II|| crashed here and only added a bit of titanium into the system

[idle spindle]

hmm so titanium that dropped from ship immediately turned into outcrops :D?

[limpid drum]

No, the outcrops naturally produced titanium

Only other source of it is small, ||sunbeam|| sized ships, like I said.

and fragments... I guess if you want to count those

But yeah titanium is a bit more rare in BZ than in SN

And you cant use stalkers to do your labor for you and then just steal their stash... this time-

[idle spindle]

ah yeah remember collecting loot from them 😄

[limpid drum]

But the good news uh, copper seems to be much more common in BZ so

[idle spindle]

too common

its way more than anyone may need

[limpid drum]

Fair

although with all the damn seatruck modules computer chips are a neccesity now

[idle spindle]

i have crafted all modules near my drop pod

was easy to get from all outcrops

[clever crow]

scenery

[strong bloom]

What da bench doing

[strong bloom]

Yeah there are so many god damn ores

It’s crazy

[clever crow]

i rage-quit.

[fervent bloom]

However, if you can't find anything quickly, it could be useful to have it catch the fish for you.

[strong bloom]

Too much girth

That’s why it doesn’t fit in the hole

[limpid drum]

well, maybe but then again if you just store a nutrient block and water bottles as an emergency your usually fine.

[fervent bloom]

Good point. I do like seeing the fish sometimes, too, but I don't have one in my current game.

[limpid drum]

My seatruck configuration for this game is probably gonna be:

Sleeper Module
Fabricator Module
Storage Module (possibly 2 of)
Prawn Docking Bay (once I get it... and the prawn)

in that order

.
lets go I found a platform with some exterior growbeds on it

this is gonna help my base so much now that I have exterior growbed blueprint

[fervent bloom]

I like it. The storage is near the back for easy access, and it's all useful.

[fervent bloom]

What are you going to plant?

[limpid drum]

well I want to move my base pretty far away from the arctic kelp and ribbon plants soon so

I'll have to bring some and plant them for my base

[keen cloud]

Important quastion for me #subnautica-chat

[fervent bloom]

Is this about your base location?

[keen cloud]

Yes

[fervent bloom]

Good idea. There are also some other useful plants you can get later.

[limpid drum]

like frost vases and spiral plants?

[fervent bloom]

Yes; antennae plants also give you plenty of food and heal you.

[limpid drum]

where even are spiral plants

dont want an exact location but just give a general idea of where I should be looking-

[fervent bloom]

Well, there's a cave somewhere in the ||Lilypads||-||Purple Vent||-||Tree Spires|| area, and there are also some in the middle of the ||Tree Spires||. (They don't grow on the ground).

[limpid drum]

Are you talking about at ||omega outpost||

[fervent bloom]

No, there aren't any there.

Was I overly cryptic?

[limpid drum]

no, I just didnt know biome names

I looked it up and I'll check it out

[keen cloud]

How do I check biom on ps5

[limpid drum]

Cant if I remember correctly
You can only access the console on PC

Theres a dev menu for consoles but it'll only let you teleport, spawn in items and thats about it

[fervent bloom]

I'm pretty sure you can use commands on many consoles.

[limpid drum]

Well yeah but its not simple

You have to run a printbiome command or something like that to actually see what biome your in

[keen cloud]

Damn it I sailed wrong and now their is some crab octopus tryna

[limpid drum]

Crab octopus? Are you talking about SN1?

If so leave that in #subnautica-chat, this channel is for BZ-related content only for the most part

[fervent bloom]

True, I suppose. I didn't know that there was another, easier way on a PC.

[limpid drum]

If you hit F1 on PC you get a menu that shows stuff like coords, biomes, etc. Super easy to use compared to console

[fervent bloom]

Oh, that seems way nicer. Some consoles don't even let you access coordinates.

[vestal delta]

you're playing a game that produces a high number of frames per second (FPS), it can cause the graphics card to work harder and produce more electrical signals, which can lead to coil whine.

Maxing it to 255 causes coil whine 60fps definitely not 155fps average doesn't either

[eternal garnet]

Huh. Anyway, there's no point to more than 70fps in this game, so turn on FPS cap to generate less heat

[limpid drum]

Thats what I do
my fps is capped to I think 60 FPS

My monitor can handle 75fps but my PC uh... cant

[chrome cedar]

I’m running on a Steam Deck, I’ve seen it try to go past 90fps in the game, my display goes to 144fps. With everything at high detail it’s quite stunning.
