You gotta do what makes you happy
What tools do you think sea monkeys would like most? I know that they will steal many things (I wonder if they'll take first aid kits), but you can see how one might enjoy a mineral detector more than a knife.
hello guys, im new. I have a question, I am playing on Switch (not like it really matters) and I have gotten my seatruck stuck on a lilypad. how do I get it off without a propulsion cannon or another form of moving vehicle?
Sorry. Without a prawn to push it, loading the save is the best option. Next suggestion is abandon and make new
Save often, and this is a prime reason
well, i did save in the crystal cave where my main base is, I guess I will have to load that one and redo all the stuff I had done after it lol
save about 4 times an hour
I would swim down to get my prawn but it is too deep lol
ty for trying to help tho lol
or would you just suggest to take all my modules and just make a new seatruck?
I usually save like 20 min apart..
i can find ||marguerites base||
can, or can't?
cant*
Um go to ur right
my phone just dosent regiser some click or taps idk which you prefer
it's hidden in some caves, you need to go explore a bit under the ||lilypads||
The lilypad biome...watch a turtiol on how ti get there
You should find some little caves
Like this guys said explore
Until you die
You'll need it eventually
spoilers dude cmon
This video shows how to find the Grappling Arm fragments for the Prawn in the Lilypad Crevice in Subnautica Below Zero. Short, sweet, and efficient, I hope it helps anyone looking. As of this video, the spawn locations are always the same nests. If this changes, please let me know so I can update.

Does someone wanna play with me subnautica below zero bc I suck yes I have skill issue BUT I also really wanna wacth some levithens and stuff with someone so Can someone play with me (multiplayer mod)
there's no multiplayer mod for bz, at least not one that's free
and the one that's paid is still in alpha
I found one but I don't have anyone to play it I found a website with hundreds of mods including that one
the short version: it doesn't work
The alpha ones work greate from what other poeple told me
Then I am confused bc how did some random poeple play together
Like you tubers strangers from discord and ect
it does work in subnautica, mostly
MOSTLY that one works
It's hard to play when you have other mods on
But still possible
I need some help, how do you trigger deep twisty bridges OST? I went deep down to deep twisties, like where squidshark patrols and there's a lot of spikey traps and there was no music playing or safe shallow one playing
- buy the soundtrack
- play the soundtrack
- ???
- profit
dodge and blue guy why don't we try the mutiplayer mod
no thanks, i've never understood why multiplayer is a good thing for sn and bz, you're just competing for resources tbh
that's the point
And to have fun
Vibing in your sea truck in the middle of nowhere
And many good things
where to ask for help / report problem?
what help do you need
you can get help here. Bugs are typically not fixed anymore
unless it's majorly game breaking, which the bugs we've seen so far are technically not
correct
good to know
i have this weird visual glitch that impacts traversal (being able to see what's around)
no light on creepvine?
completely matt black surface. it happens on terrain and ice. idk if its certain area or tied to day/night...
Get the seaglide. it has a light, and makes you move so much faster
it is tied to night yes. Lighting is a little odd in this game. I suspect flaws in the engine, Unity
The seaglide should fix it
There's also a flashlight but you have to hold that
seaglide fragments are all around near your pod
oh you have truck recipe already
yeah, i'm just doing second playthrough.
and i noticed that glitch cause I don't remember seeing it before. usually surfaces are lit during day or thanks to flora
I think, minor lighting bugs, fixed by using a personal light source
good luck and don't let the aliens eat you


Welcome to 4546B and have a nice day!
Might refund below zero its not as fun as subnautica 1😔
it's different for sure, but not as fun... probably subjective
I find myself playing BZ more often than SN, but it's definitely not the same. I enjoy BZ a little more...

fun or innovative?
For me BZ Is better and more fun then SB
Its so underrated
Does marguerit's snow stalker kill you if you get too close?
no
Do not miss special item on her livingroom floor
Not the tablet
What special item?
perimeter defense
well same there
the defense is key to both water leviathans. Learn to fire it. Fire on attack, not before
oh, that's why
What about void leviathans?
Because they don't do an attack animation
I expect it works, but you don't really need to go there
And the sharks
With the sharks I do it anytime they get close and it works when shocking them
I grew the explode fish in alien containment, do they blow up or are they passive?
lmao, I don't have that yet though
For once, I decided to be safe and bring six first aid kits to the ||Crystal Caves|| rather than two. Naturally, this was the one time where I took no damage whatsoever in that biome. (I do have an aggression multiplier of 0.2 in this game, but I still usually get bitten by the ||shadow leviathan||.)
you mean that it bites your character directly? why?
I haven't made the Prawn suit yet (I have the blueprint, though), and I do some exploration by Seaglide.
Does the self-destruct destroy the spy pengling permanently(like, what happens when you self-destruct and why should it be done?)?
it does. If it gets stuck, I think its got a beacon. Pengling also destroys on contact with water
Does it respawn?
Question: Is it possible to hide in the foliage from leviathans?
No, but you can dance around rocks to evade attacks.
Awe, that would be super cool if you could hide in foliage, but thank you!
It would
Whats hostile in creep caves?
You can hide behind crystals, the purple area feels like Metal Gear, sneaking from one crystal to the other. Very fun.
Crashfish
The ones that gave sulfur in the og game?
Is there any other crashfish? 
Idk they changed peepers and stuff so they mightve changed crashfish
Now the eggs are there, making more sense
If you don't mind. I have another question.
||So I went to the Architect Artifact that was on land in the cave and then the bridge. I scanned the stuff and yada, yada, yada. But later as I was driving around, I decided to save my game. And in the middle of it saving, my game crashed. I went back because I didn't save after getting the artifact, and the item I need to scan wasn't there, nor could I make said object I needed to make the bridge go together. Will the item respawn?||
||Like when I went back, the item I scanned was gone and couldn't rescan.||
Things don't normally respawn, only certain fish
;_;
curious. Should probably use a command for it
It's strange, I think your save is broken now
You can still use commands to fix it, if you're not on Switch
;_;
oh no
At least the second time is faster
Well, I can. I'm just really upset now.
Go far enough away that the bridge despawns, and back. Like 600m
I don't promsie, but it is worth a try
You can also build your own bridge
Oh true
yes you can put a base room under the bridge, tunnel +ladder up
Wait what
I compartments with hatches on both sides, you can make a base from one side to the other
that's the easiest way. Speedrunners do that (Build underneath I mean)
O
Are there any other items that have that or is it JUST that one? (Idk the name, I'm just praying yall know what I'm talking about)
hydraulic fluid is only by the south bridgehead
Brug
Build up by the north one
Ngl should def add more than one just in case something like that happens
But eh, oh well. I doubt I'd need hydraulic fluid for anhthing else
you won't
Oh okay then idc about the loss lol
It is very silly how there are so many things that you only build once, and that's it
Fr
Probably just to make the blueprints list longer--
But it's still a really good game
I see a lot of people hating on it when I try to look up stuff
I prefer it over SN, tbh
Base underneath demo (speedrun) https://youtu.be/jzGE89ucvYg?t=803
Like honestly, I like below zero better
Didn't even use a ladder. nice
(Because the base was placed in just the right spot)
Dude. I felt so bad when I realized that ||after you get AL-AN, Sea Monkeys gift you with stuff. I thought they were taking stuff out of my inventory pockets since they kept taking my scanner from my hands before AL-AN. I offlined like 10 of them with my seatruck because I thought they was stealing from me...||
The pain.
ha. Don't feel bad, jack septiceye thought the same
||They're not helping me, they're helping the voices in my head||
O fr?
LOL felt
||I first noticed when I was going out to get lead, a monkey handed me it and I was like hol up. I don't have any lead... so I looked it up and immediately felt guilty.||
They really are my main source of lead
Normal Below Zero players: Omg silver is impossible to find.
Me with a full locker of silver: WhErE's ThE LeAd?
Well, I see people struggle with silver anyways
is that a tax collector? its red
I think it's a really huggable fish
Is Preston's delight the same as snow stalker fruit?
preston is a snow stalker
Oh yeah mb
Lol, I forgot about that
Yk the melons, how do you grow them and make them multiply?
Hit them with knife and plant the seeds. You get 4 seeds from one melon
Does it have to be from a big melon?
yes
Small don't grow, but if you slice them for seeds, the seeds grow into big melons
Oh, I knew it.
There are 2 people telling me different things though 💀
Actually I'm not entirely sure if the small melons grow if you just let them be🤷🏻♂️
I think the small melon won't grow into a big one because I waited long enough plus it doesn't show a percentage growth thingymajig.
So I believe your hypothesis is right.
small melons inevitably turn big - even if the big melons wouldn't fit pots
But they don't have a growth status percentage, do they?
The seed is one slot, but the melon growing from it will be 4 inventory slots (still only 1 slot in planter though)
The planter has 4 slots, I believe.
they have %, then they are small (supposedly), but i always get big melons
Wall planter has only one, plant pots 4 and indoor growbeds 16 slots
Did you ever plant a small melon before?
There's like 3 versions of the wall planter.
hmm, i always use seeds
Only one
3 pots, 1 wall planter
I think there are both small and big melons you can pick up in the greenhouse
There are 2 other foliage looking things you can put on the walls.
Sorry, plant shelf. Wall planter is decor only
Or have to check English names...I play Finnish version of the game
that's true. but when i grow melons myself i always pick up big melons that i can't even put back in
Exactly, all seeds grow into big melons. I think you could put the big melon back if your plant pot/growbed has 2x2 free space
But not much point in that as it wouldn't grow...
If you make a custom save slot, does it completely disable achievements for the other save slots too?
no
only for the custom one
same for using commands, it's that save only
Oh alright bet
Sometimes when I press E in my seatruck, I eject completely from it. Sometimes I just get out of my seat but am still inside. Is there a way to control this, or is it random?
If your Seatruck is tilted too steeply, you’ll be ejected even if you had modules attached.
Just level it out first, and you should be fine
Usually I want it to eject me completely
Then either don’t attach modules or park it at a steep angle
Did the rock punchers in the ||Koppa Mining Site|| inhabit the area after the Alterra workers left? I assume they didn't coexist.
That I don’t know, but there’s certainly areas where the ceiling retention structures are all busted up, so it would make sense if the rock punchers made their way inside from those hot water crevices the thermal spires has in abundance, and then proceeded to make various sections their own little nesting ground with their punk rock footballs🏈 lol
I think after it got abandoned, they wandered in and found all the excavated minerals, and now they live there <3
They seem to be heat resistant - in fact, they must enjoy the hottest temperatures, given their presence in certain biomes
They do have an armored carapace... I think you're right about the preference for warm areas.
I wonder why they never eat the rockgrubs that are found crawling around in the caves - they dig them up instead.
armored != temperature barrier
and assuming that under that carapace is a regular carbon based lifeform, it finna cook like normal and we be feasting on alien shrimp
They can jump very quickly when they want to. Though armor doesn't necessarily protect against heat, I could also imagine that theirs does to some degree.
quickly yes, but not very far
don't forget that rock punchers don't only live around ||koppa/thermal spires|| but also at deeper and cooler waters
In the ||Crystal Caves||, they live around thermal vents, don't they?
never really paid attention lol
I visited the biome quite recently, and I believe they do.
Since the rocks they unearth have rockgrubs on them (until they're eaten), if one disturbed the rock puncher while it was feeding, would new rockgrubs be created?
why do you need the coordinates?
For a zone
what zone
coordinates are pretty useless unless you're using console commands to warp yourself around
You cannot put coordinates, only with mods, but on Google there are several photos of the map and if you need to find an object or biome, on YouTube there are several tutorials.
Yeah, you can, F1.
Does prawn suit swim at the same speed as seatruck with no modules when using shift?
Does the thumper repel those worms in the artic biome?
that's their purpose
oh, what about the upgrades? Does it increase the radius?
i don't reacall the thumper having upgrades
It does, you can go to a section and there's a PDA that when you pickup it gives you some upgrades.
proof?
The only upgrade I can think of for the thumper is putting a better battery in it
that hardly counts as an upgrade, and it's an upgrade of the battery not the thumper itself
At least it will last longer
true, but it's not an upgrade to the thumper per se
or just do the chad thing and go in a prawn
I have been known to take the high road, at least on the way in - no worms up there, ya know
When does the spy penguin theme play?
I didnt install this yet but does below zero need more system requirements than normal subnautica?
should be roughly the same
Often, when it's deployed for a 'mission'
Activate with the remote to link up
sooo the spy pengling theme is actually a theme while you slowly freeze to death
I like to activate while in a safe spot, or inside shelter
It has a fairly short range tho
How short?
After it gets like, 30 meters away, the picture starts going fuzzy - kinda like the scanner room's cam drones
But cuter
so yeah, for best effect, slowly freeze to death
The Devs were kind enough to place a guyser near the entrance to an important cave, so Robin won't freeze while the pengi bot gets the Stuff
You can build i compartment and hatch just outside the cave where you need to go. No need to power up base to stay warm, and above water there's also oxygen. Added bonus safety from snow stalkers
How much oxygen does bladderfish give you?
I think about 15 seconds?
Imagine you're about to die of suffocation and the bladderfish comes in clutch.
ye
Dont bother too much with it. Its pretty useless. But you might have figured it out by now. Same goes with the ice worm reduction upgrade for snow fox. No noticable improvement and definitely worse than the jump upgrade.
Iceworm attacks are random or predetermined?
They're random but they're triggered by you
Party?
Once you make enough noise, the worm will perform a random attack. I think that's how it works
Walking with the prawn and grapple makes the most noise, so the worm will never stop attacking until you stop
cool, it's better that they attacks are random in each game, it makes it more unpredictable
They're very predictable, they make noises
When I heard about the iceworm for the first time I thought it could appear in any land area and not just in a specific area XD The truth is, by doing that the game will be much more difficult
They only appear in the Arctic Spires
ye i know😐 I was just saying that I thought that before
Oh, okay
They either dig towards you or they instantly show up where you are, so moving should keep you safe
Yes, during my first time playing when I heard it I kept walking and didn't even turn around, and it worked for me, I think it only managed to hurt me once
XD
The truth is that I like Subnautica Below Zero more than the original Subnautica, it has a better story, better biomes and many people may not agree with me, but I think that without counting the reaper, the Below Zero leviathans are better, (pls dont kill me)
I don't like reapers, they're too loud
As cool as crypolosers are, they're too loud as well, and that makes me not like them that much
You're right about that, because sometimes you hear them far away and suddenly you hear them in the back of you with headphones on.
Chelicerates are sooo pretty
literally the chelicerates:🦐.
now speaking seriously XD it has an excellent design, quite original, and I like that it has that retractable jaw with which it grabs you, it makes it look more terrifying
I don't get why do people hate on it and call it shrimp
Like, first of all, shrimps are orange/brown, they're more of a lobster color
BZ story was a cop out, i've always complained about it
And it's so magestic, so pretty, the fins glow
I used to call it more as a joke not out of hate, in fact I have a chelicerate observatory and I called it shrimpy :3
comparatively, SN had a more coherent story vs BZ
Kinda hard to beat Subnautica story (it has almost none)
Ryley doing everything not because he wants to, but because he has to... it is very simple - ||crash, build rocket, launch it||
The lore is amazing in both games, though. The logs, the documents... awesome stuff
The truth is, I don't understand why people hate Chelicerate either, it's one of my favorite leviathans, and I think the only bad thing about it is that there are quite a few on the map
It's not as threatening as the reaper, I guess
Cryptolosers are significantly louder than it, making it feel even less present
Let's see which Leviathan of respective game is better

chelicerate vs reaper, who is better?
Cheli
glow whale vs reefback
I don't like eel designs that much, they feel stretched just to make size
facts
I like both, but I'd choose whales because they're cuter, quieter and you can interact
with SN we start with an accident, discover that there's something wrong with the planet, find out what happened to the people who were there before us, realize we're not alone in the universe and fought off space covid, all in the name of getting ourselves back to civilization.
in BZ, we come down for a singular personal agenda to find out what happened to our sister, ||only to get side tracked by an alien who decides to hijack our brain, run into a grandma with a grudge, help her evade big brother, then develop stockholm syndrome and elope with said alien. sam's story literally gets shoved onto the back burner by alan and mags.||
ghost leviathan vs void chelicerate
Ghost leviathans make more sense, but Chelis allow for some really interesting theories
The story of the 2 games is very good, each one has its good and bad things
What makes it a tie?
I don't think Ryley really cares that much, though. He only fights the bacteria because he needs to disable the weapon, otherwise he wouldn't
Although BZ story is kinda dummy in the part when main storyline becomes optional
sea dragon vs shadow leviathan
i get that, but at the very least his goal never changed from the beginning to the end. with robin it started with her being all detective pikachu for sam but by mid game sam's all but forgotten.
I don't know how would Robin have a larger impact, ending the planet quarantine is really big
That is a big problem, yes. While we do lots of parallel stuff in SN, it's just to launch the rocket. In BZ, we kinda need to read PDAs to finish the story, which is fine, but most players never even open that thing, making them miss huge chunks of the story, resulting in them finishing before finding what happened to Sam
and therein lies the problem with BZ's storytelling.
i wish more voice acting or even cutscenes could be dedicated to sam
Is it me or do I think that the song ''area 0'' from pokemon scarlet and purple would be perfect in a kind of final area in the next subnautica game?
I wish the PDA yelled at you every time you got a new entry and didn't read it
That would help
I agree
Maybe even make voice logs play automatically, like calls.
Yeah I wish there was a setting for that so you don't have to read or click to play while fighting a monster
You don't fight monsters
Because normally we caurioussly scan levithens
Scanning leviathans is fun when they're alive
I have a brutal idea, and if they make it so that when you have managed to scan all the life forms on the pda, they give you some kind of trophy or something, like a digital gold medal on the pda, or a planet researcher diplom.
It makes it exciting, dangerous, and very rewarding
stasis rifle go brr
cheeky scan
swim away
Yeah
Stasis rifle is gone (finally)
Statis rifle is good and cool but when you bassicly can get a skyrim boss fight it's fun
Instead, make give the trophy after reading every entry, not collect
The stasis rifle was very broken and took away the fun of scanning leviathans, thank goodness they removed it in Below Zero, they should put a cooldawn on it or something.
It was made to stop crashfish, bonesharks, etc, and very briefly distract leviathans, allowing your cyclops to escape
deep twisty bridges
Unfortunately, players love to cheese the game, and so they abused the tool
You know the coral bridges place? It's a cave directly under
Do you know that area where there are some kind of bridges made of corals near the spawn? Well there you go down about 200 or 300 meters and you reach the deep twisty bridges
can you really blame them tho
i think the stasis rifle should just use an insane amount of power
Battery charger
well yeah but in the middle of being chased you cant charge a whole battery
It is better that they put a cooldown on it
I recommend in my opinion to keep one battery if not just take out a battery from a other tool
that would be aids
i misfire with that thing so much, that's extremely punishing
The removal of the tool is appreciated. One possible fix would be to make it lore-accurate (targets larger than the bubble aren't affected)
Happy happy happy
I nuke your house tonight...
vortex torpedo vs stasis rifle
how to and how not to balance items that make creatures stuck
Vortex torpedoes are just single-use grav traps
or replace it with a same same but different stun gun - you get to stun a creature, not a sphere. or a single target tranq gun. effect is inversely proportional to target body size.
Leviathans are already so easy to deal with, and you're making it even easier 
i mean, some people may not have the hand eye coordination, and i don't wanna be insensitive and say they've got skill issues...
Stasis Rifle was clearly unhealthy
I think the zappy module is very strong, and stopping to pilot works just as well
fr
prawn suit torpedo arm underrated
also im biased
Yea, grav traps work better, at the cost of being 2x2, I think
Gas torpedoes do nothing
They only hurt
i prefer torpedos cuz i dont have to get out of my vehicle and also can hit from further
probably not but im biased and like pew pews
The only thing I like about the torpedo arm is the sound design, I guess
The arms look silly
wish the propulsion cannon arm had any practical use at all
It is very useful
It is my second most used arm
You can do very cool exterior decoration using props
Guys, is deep blue by miracle of sound in the soundtrack?
I don't think the CDs are included in the OST
oh
"Jukebox 1", or Mirage Machine, is included, though
yeah, only that one
And snow burn
So when I click on the shop for subnautica it redirects me here, but there's nothing to buy 🤷♂️ .
That is not a shop
Store/shop, same thing.
Merch is no longer available
Why not?
The company that made it went through a rebrand, they no longer sell merch
aw, such a shame, I wanted to buy a T-shirt or a mug.
Well, too late for that. Let's hope another company agrees to distribute merch when the new title comes out, it's a hard and lengthy process, though.
They're gonna make another subnautica?
The BZ OST can be bought from Steam
Do you know the name they're gonna give it?
I already bought the bundle that gives you both games and their soundtracks.
Yes, although we don't know the name, release date, theme, etc. All we now is that it's in Unreal Engine 5 and has water. It is currently called "The next game in the Subnautica Universe".
Why make another game instead of lengthening the game and lore a little bit?
BZ is a separate game, and it lengthens the lore and all
I don't think the devs are looking forward to add more story content to any of the games
All we get are bug fixes, QoL changes and sometimes a new thing or two, although no new story, no new lore
A new title would push the story forward
true
They're PC only
and where i can find the disk ''rite of the deep''
I think it's in a little wreck
Southeast of the pod, kinda
There's a floating structure above it
I really wonder what another game in the sub verse will be like
Very wet
At an Alterra Tech Site in the Sparse Arctic. Kinda on the northeast part of the map.
Wait, really? I thought it was on that place with the Pathfinder tool
It is. But your going based off one of the locations of the Drop Pod. Mine is more towards the center of the map (that being the Delta Island)
The pods are kinda close to each other
is that speculation or confirmation
and take a lot of horsepower to run
Confirmation (water has been confirmed)
are you confirming based on the logic i presented
so this is official confirmation that TNGITSU will have water to swim in?
I'll consider it
just so that we can put it in the faces of people who come into this server and start grinding the rumor mill
I kinda like seeing confused people..
no warpers in bz
that's a ||squidshark||
I do not appreciate their presence
understandable
I think squidsharks are beautiful. They're one of my favorite creatures in Below Zero.
I wonder if ||shadow leviathans|| ever leave the deep biomes they dwell in and migrate to other areas... their PDA entry mentions mating season, so I would assume that they have contact with more members of their species than live in Sector Zero.
I have 8 fish but nobody is dropping eggs or breeding.
There is a limit for breeding: 10 for containment in mp room, 18 for containment in large room. If you have that amount or more, they won't breed. Also larger fish use more space (2x2 fish in inventory uses 2 slots for breeding limit, 3x3 uses 3 slots etc)
What is the sink for?
Washing your hands?
Can you even do that?
Basically lot of the base interior stuff is decorative, only a few have actual gameplay purpose
Theyre so big, they need a big location i guess
Does anyone have the precise ratios for the metals that can be found in the rocks excavated by rock punchers? I think the wiki is incorrect, because I appear to find similar quantities of each of the four possible metals.
there are a lot of wiki errors
Partly as the game changed for the various updates.
I'm starting a new save
Welcome to 4546B. Enjoy your stay!
Thanks
Holy smokes, that did not go as planned…
You should find a way into the water and get to the Drop Pod.
Time to break rocks!
Rock and stone!
It's correct and incorrect at the same time.
The percentage are correct but it doesn't reflect the number of resources you'll get if you only break rocks.
If you break 100 rocks, you'll get 30 copper, 30 titanium, 20 silver, 20 gold.
The reason is due to how it's designed. The game rolls a dice for the copper that has 20%, if the dice is in the 80% it continues with the next resource, the gold. Here if the new dice rolls in the 75% it continues with the next resource, the copper. If it rolls in the bad 50% you get titanium.
So while the percentages are correct, it doesn't reflect the percentage you get.
i guess it's computationally cheaper to calculate this way
But at the same time they aren't the same percentages used for the other resources. As the percentages on the other outcrops are what you would expect if you only break that kind of outcrop.
It's a bit more complicated if you break outcrops randomly. As the game includes the resource you got with the previous outcrops in the calculation.
and yet when you're trying to find one resource from an outcrop, you almost always get something else 😛
Confirmation bias.
Us dwarfs are in every single community
Rock And Stone brother
Digi digi hole
Love that song!!!
I play it during elite deep dives
it gives me strenght
Absolutely!!!
Deep Rock is like the only online shooter I like playing
the other ones either get me mad or are just full of sweats
Deep Rock is chill af
How do i use the thermos?
You have to fill it it up in the coffee machine. Just put it in and it get filled up. Then you can take it with you and drink it for warmth, not thirst.
Alr thanks
Then you can take it with you and drink it for warmth, not thirst. It does only restore warmth (and a tiny bit of water, but only 2% or so).
Heat +50, thirst -2
Yes, just heat. But very much so! There was one youtube streamer who got saved from hyperthermia death by one thermos of coffee he accidentially carried around.
Does prawn suit get charged while connected to seatruck?
No, but the prawn suit has the thermal power upgrade. So it can charge itself when placed next or in a hot place, like a lava geysir. Or you carry a spare power cell with you, that you charge in your base. That is also a trick to recharge the powercells of your seatruck. Swap an empty power cell a place it into the prawn and let the prawn charge it at a hot spot. Of course the map is small enough that this almost never is necessary.
Where do I build the ||architect skeleton||?
||fabricator base||
Where's that?
Deepest part of the map
It's in a red biome past a blue biome
Do I just go back to the alien distress call?
Nope
Maybe better to get all 3 blueprints and materials for them and build at the same time.
Or build them one by one, it's your choice
And that's basically very endgame thing to build them
But ||AL-AN|| still hasn't given me the locations yet
You have to find them mostly yourself. With the help of some very suttle clues. No more body parts location given.
So I've visited ||Marguerit|| at her base and what else do I have to do now?
You will not get beacon locations for other body parts, only hints
Well, checking the cave behind her sea base is worth it
Nah like, for the advancement of the story.
Protip: red+blue=???
That's where you start your search for the ||fabricator base,||
Do I need to go somewhere specifically?
wdym by those colours?
the biomes?
Yes
Yes, specifically in the cave system behind her base, the one with the big crystals
You can go from ??? to blue then red
Is that where to find kyanite?
Yep
I believe she also asked you to do something, so there's one item for your to-do list. Then have you already done your initial quest (find out what happened to your sister)?
Yes, and also crossing the bridge in the west arctic is recommended
Look at your PDA under the signals tab. Any signal that you haven't explored, go do it
I explored all of them
Last thing I went to was the ||Phi Robotics Landing Pad||.
There are two stories, the story of your sister Sam, thats why you came to 4546B in the first place, that is connected to Maida. And the story of AlAn, that will eventually end the game.
Yes, and there from Phi dock over the bridge, for example
That's the frosty biome
But also the Glacial Basin has a lot of stuff to explore
Spoilers dude
I can do the antidote thingy
Great, that would be something
It's not central to the story, but sure
but idk where it is
Check the phi robotics map of glacial basin
Protip: you need a robot birb
And someone tell markus to use spoiler tags because he's apparently blocked me
I have it
Did you get the map of all the holes the robot birb can go?
Nope
I'm having trouble navigating it
For glacial basin I made a video tutorial https://youtu.be/5kF4-4AbuP4
Also, despite what it's supposed to resemble, the robot birb isn't IP67 rated
And also one for arctic spires, just in case you get lost: https://youtu.be/i_QKANUgjlg
Does ||Marguerit|| storyline end on her ||greenhouse||?
Yes
I thought there would be more lmao.
The storytelling in BZ is kinda subpar compared to SN imo
Yes and no, you can|| later go back to her seabase and get access to the other rooms.||
The ||lilypads|| one?
Yes the sea base in lilypad crevices
Do you find the charger fins after that?
Because i thought i just didnt see them before
Swim charge fins are found elsewhere
I found them right under the ||base||
Yeah I was referring to within the base
Lots of stuff in the lilypads, especially the ||sea monkey nests||
Swim charge fins are in Omega lab
Oh
Still suit is behind Maidas seabase
Oh i am dumb
I forgot they were seperate buildings
They look almost the same and are near eachother
Not really
I was looking for ||Marguerit base|| once and accidently found the ||omega lab|| and didn't understand it
You get beacon for the entrance to the cave system
Correct
And its the same cave where ||omega lab|| is for me
No Omega is in a floating rock
What
Totally different
It is below 200m for me
It is attached to four huge lilypads holding it up
The other 350m deep under terrain
Anyways what does finishing ||greenhouse|| give you access to in the base
Check it out you will pass there many times during game
Say hello to her
When you first went there, her pet doggo was blocking a door right? After you go to the greenhouse, the lilypads base will be empty and you can go exploring
Oh i forgot about that door
Sure make yourself home and clean some dishes
Did you get the preston fruit from the greenhouse
And some fevered peppers
You should and plant them
I hovered mouse over it and couldnt collect it
The fruits are tricky
And fevered peppers
Not the fruits but later the leaves
And then you make the best food in the game
Ok
If you found the correct pda in greenhouse for the recipe...
Haha, that's what you get for stealing my stuff, sea monkey.
Does ||reinforced dive suit|| decrease the damage taken by other creatures?
How did you collect sea monkey
You have to find an egg and hatch it
raise an innocent monkey child and destroy it

monkeys are pretty beneficial - you can farm lead, copper, titanium and more
The baby looks cool in the aquarium. Absolutely adorable
You need two to hatch two seamonkey eggs, let them grow and the produce more eggs which will hatch again, and so on. As many as you want. Then you have to transfer the babies from the alien containment tank to the aquarium before they grow up. I have an aquarium with 8 seamonkey babies.
I released about a dozen outside my base. They are always happy when I get some and bring me gifts.
But only as long as you dont transfer ||AlAn out of your head||. A seamonkey farm, very clever!
them big red shrimp fish be always doing a hit n run
Uhh can anyone help with this?
Yes by 52% if you have the full suit (gloves and suit).
Yes when you craft it it comes in two pieces.
It only came in 1 piece
I might've overlooked that or maybe it just didn't give it for me.
I stand corrected either way.
Yeah I don't have it
oh wait nvm
it's in my inventory
well, now I understand why I only got 25% health damage from ghost leviathan
i havent played in 6 months and ive been playing for like 3 days and have gotten nowhere
I dropped a flare and the snow stalkers got scared but when I dropped one in front of me it didn't work.
You can just hold the flare in your hand (in addition it gives little cold resistance)
I can't hold it because the spy thing I have is still in the cave
You can build a base and operate the pengi-bot safely inside
I don't have enough titanium
I corridor and hatch is enough; quartz and some titanium. Warmth and safety from snow stalkers quaranteed
Also, do you know where the ||frozen leviathan|| is from the ||antidote|| place?
Get some, there are outcrops practically everywhere
Did you scan the map in phi robotics? Look for the purple trees
I know where the purple trees are
Around that area there is an alterra radio mast with a door nearby
That is it, I think
Maybe it's a cave and not a door actually...
That's the beacon tower at the middle of the sakura tree thingy
I think it's an acacia
The door is for Phi Robotics
I said door earlier for the excavation site...remembered wrong
I found this and I got a disc and some other things
You remember the door from Parven's "bunker".
I found it
I love this game so much
I didn't get any badge for ||curing the leviathan||...
Have you used console commands at some point?
never
oh wait I have
Only to kill myself though
because I was falling through the void
bruh
That's actually not fair bruh
I thought that you get badges after you exit and rejoin the session.
I only used command for "kill me"
I can show you the logs if you have such things.
There is no log for the commands you used, but it doesn't matter much. Even a command like fps will disable your achievements for that save slot.
Achievements are useless, the progress you made is for your entertainment.
Yeah but I like doing achievements because they're proof that I actually did the work.
It gives you a reason to replay this game later. But you can also bypass the cheat flag by installing the mod loader.
Where do I get this "mod loader"?
And does it give you the achievements that you were due to get?
Like, I just did the antidote thingy, would it give me that badge?
It bypasses the condition that gives you the achievements if you didn't use a command.
So the answer is yes.
Where is this mod?
It isn't a mod, it's the thing you install to play modded.
You can find it on Nexus or on the modding website.
Yes.
And does this mod only disable the cheats flag or does it do other things as well?
It's a mod loader, alone it doesn't do much.
I think it disables the feedback system which was nice because we didn't want mod related issues when the game was still maintained.
But it won't change anything to your gameplay if you don't actually install mods in it.
After installing it properly, loading your save will instantly give you the achievements you validated.
It says to extract contents to game directory but idk where game directory is. Is it just in here?
Yes it's there.
I copied the files to the SubnauticaZero game directory and I joined back and I still don't have the badge given.
is there now a folder bepinex in your game directory?
Also you need to load the save
I did load the save.
then it's not copied right
wdym I copied it here
one of the added files is this folder bepinex
Move the content of Qmodmanager4... up one level
to MonoBleedingEdge?
Where's bepinex?
I'm hoping that is inside Qmodmanager4...
oh yes
it is
but idk why it hasn't given me the badge. Is there even a badge for ||curing the leviathan||?
Then why didn't I get it?
qmod was not installed
when bepinex is where it should be, restart BZ
and the save
Is bepinex in the right place?
is it in the same listing as MonoBleedingEdge? then yes
not inside MonoBleedingEdge
mote, move ALL files from Qmodmanager4.. not just bepinex
that's probably ok. Bit worried about steam sync, but that affects savegame folder
there we go
I GOT THE BADGES
Now that you have the badges, you can... er.... yes. Life changed!
Not at all useless
Thank you so much man.
It's just a psychological thing.
I got like all of the game badges
I only need 2 more
You need to keep qmodmanager until you have them all
Installing mods is now much easier, also
qmodmanager by itself has no effect other than badges
Do bladderfish have to be raw to give oxygen?
I think so
It's not like it does anything bad like change the game files so I guess I'll keep it.
Only non cooked / non cured bladderfish give oxygen.
Is there like a scientific reason as to why that is the case?
Cooking them makes leaks!
any regular fabricator
Is there an established logic behind the removal of some large resource deposits in Below Zero? I understand salt, because you likely have a water filtration machine or don't need large quantities of it, but lithium and lead seem strange to remove.
You assume they were ever there. I don't know
Are there any other upgrades apart from jump for the snowfox?
there's a worm detection reduction thing. Basically a sound reducer
You mean the thumper?
I didn't intend to; they exist elsewhere on the planet. I suppose I should have said, "...behind the addition of only some of the large resource deposits in Below Zero?"
Do thumpers have a range?
no, it's an upgrade. But there is only one upgrade slot
And you need to find the databox in the middle of worm territory, then get the materials needed and a fabricator (usually getting out of the worm territory) before you can use it...
Does the thumper have a radius range?
yes, it's not very big. It keeps wormy away, not the reverse
And it eats batteries. Not the most useful thing
so thumper is mostly useless
It’s super good for making a base there
Very cool views. I almost always use ion batteries though
They do chew through a ton of power
However, if you’re fast enough, it can stop the worm from attacking you
If you place it down as soon as it appears
Look how many spicy salads I made lol.
I usually have a large locker full at each of my bases and 9 in my Seatruck at all times
Gotta stay prepared
Medkits are more essential I'd say for emergencies.
Not really
Only if you’re getting hit by something
Not if you can dodge or go in a vehicle
Yeah, like ||ghost leviathan|| in ||crystal caves||.
Also, you should have a prawn and Seatruck by then, so its usually fine
Do you mean the Shadow Leviathan?

I have a base there
He doesn’t really bother you, you can hide between the crystal pillars
yeah, I think.
Large, black, tons of legs, acidic underbelly/mouth?
Lots of red eyes
sounds like it
The one that's hard to scan and you can only scan on its mouth.
They’re super cool, one of my favorites.
First time I saw one I screamed.
Nah cus I tohught I was gonna die
He came out of nowhere but thankfully I had that suit that halfs damage by 4.
My favorite leviathans in Below Zero are the ||shadow leviathan||, the ||ice worm||, the chelicerate, the ventgarden, and the glow whale.
I know
I was just confused by the “halving damage by 4” part
I think it just halves damage
What the hell is this pointer?
It keeps falling
Oh it's my thumper
Never drop items expecting them to stay intact
When you go far away, the world unloads.
Chelicerates are suprisingly stealthy for a aggressive 40-meter leviathan that lives in a biome with few hiding places.
isnt that every leviathan
It is... that's my point.
never really know with this server
Beware the Peeper Leviathan…

Just beat the game
I really liked the last 5 minutes but everything before that was just a pain lol
I'm glad you enjoyed (a part of) the game.
|| I did a thing ||
shrimp cocktail?
You can feed the penguins if you hold fish out omg 🥺
For what purpose is the parallel processing unit if it doesn't attach to the satellite your supposed to turn off
it's for building something else
like how you need to build a computer chip to make an advanced wiring kit, the ||parallel processing unit|| is used for something more complex.
Oh so I have to explore deeper in order to find what turns off the satellite to get the lady to talk to me
have you been to ||her base||?
Yes @mellow geode I have
then you should've picked up the ||test override module blueprint|| there
I think you are supposed to scan it but idk
And ngl I wished you can build some stuff inside her base or just collectables
that's correct, you pick up the blueprint by scanning
if you paid attention during the conversation at her base, she basically told you
Maybe you should have turned when you got the message 'entering ecological dead zone'...
Options are either to try to get away, or reload save
Do you have perimeter defence upgrade? Although with the cooldown time and three attackers, your seatruck will be heavily damaged...
Putting the dead in deadzone…
Reason: Too many spoiler tags
break the message up
So I'm going to do a playthrough of the game without ||Al-An||
I know there's a few places|| you can't get into without him in your head||
||there's the fabrication facility, the place where they store spare organs, and the area with the emerald formations,|| but I'm unsure if there are any other locations like this?
all of the body parts. Nothing unrelated to that. Of course he is required to finish game
oh also the ending is disabled without him, obviously
sadly I do have to pick him up at the very end yeah
but I wanna avoid as much of the annoying banter between him and Robin as possible
odd. okay
So basically you will complete ||Sam's story and Marquerit's story and then go to Sanctuary zero and start hunting for body parts||
Does anyone have a map of all the leviathans and there locations
more like you start with ||Sam's story, get side tracked by either Marguerite and Alan, basically forget about Sam, help Margurite and finally elope with Alan||
why would you want that
Because I want to know where they are all located
in order to do what?
Idk I just want a map with all the leviathan locations on
there isn't one, because leviathans will move in their biomes
Oh ok
there's one with spawn points but it's hardly useful
Well, they do have home regions. I don't have such a map
yeah they basically stay in their own biomes but you can't pinpoint them because they move
hey, I'm playing this game blind (for the first time), and was wondering is there a way in-game to know the name of the biomes? I want to get a feel for the map and it's been difficult
technically yes, but it's not really important
the names of the biomes are generally quite self descriptive
on PC, F1. Look for "twisty bridges" about middle, when near the pod
I guess I could name them myself, too. But I want to have a map "in my mind" without looking one up online. More difficult than I expected
thank you
some biome names in order of discovery: twisty bridges. ||Thermal spires. Purple vents. Tree spires. Lilypads. West arctic||
deep twisty bridges is also a different biome
there are "standard" names that are used here, and if you stick around long enough you'll get familiar with them pretty quickly
k. I'll just disappear for a while and try to get surprised a lot : )
sea monkey baby
Yes let's goooo.
apparently there's going to be subnautica 3, even though it's just rumours. what do you think is going to be in the game?
like, is it going to be directly after below zero?
I mean
it's either going to continue Robin's story or with another character
(trying to start a discussion here because none of my friends play subnautica 3;)
hot take here but brinewing
Ironic considering they freeze you 😂 .
Why? Did you think I was a newb?
idk
it's sn2 (if this game in development is sn at all), it won't continue robin's story, bz is just a spin-off.
maybe 
?
titan holefish
subnautica 2, or TNGITSU
I'm mildly offended 🤔 .
i really want ocean and fimsh scanning in new subnautica 🥺
when I meant what's going to be in the new game I mean story-wise
oh yes i love scanning

story-wise, there's no way to tell((
though i imagined a story about tourists being hella unlucky
yeah. a sequell also
Tourists are gonna cannibalise themselves eventually.
oddly specific💀
||I wonder what's gonna happen with the precoursor city||
Pre-cursor city?
it is a sequel
it's a different game set in the same universe as subnautica
u mean after the ending in bz? no idea and it's probably better to leave that up to interpretation
i only parrot mods and devs that said it's a spin-off
I like to think the 3rd game will be another small time-skip
||maybe after what Robin does in that city||
||is it a city? idk really||
no ocean in that city( no nautica, no sub
yall be spoiling
just speculating
not everyone's gone and ||eloped with alan yet, so not everyone knows of the city||
sorry i tohught this channel has spoilers
Eloped? 😂
wait what
if you actually bothered to click on the description, you'll see this
crap
lmao
sorry
dw abt it
he's gonna wait until i arrange all the furniture
You didn't spoil that much.
k just in case
and ||even if there is no water that doesn't mean there can't be another game there||
devs have confirmed that there will be water
A land based subnautica game is just wrong
ah
yes but maybe it will be in the same universe?
I guess it's just going to be a time-skip
it will be in the same universe as subnautica
it will be in unreal engine 5
it will have water
that's all we know for sure so far
oh so it does exist?
not really a secret, that one
exist? In a couple of years
in development
yes.
good to know it's not romours i guess
we've known for some time that it existed
yeah but I didn't play the games or was in the community for a while :P
is the release date a rumour?
spring 2025
cool
An estimate for investors
It didn't even come from UWE
ah k
andy can we go back in time and delete those 2 messages between obraxis'? then we can screenshot nicely without the hype and the benzene lol
nah it's forever engraved in subnautica history
