below-zero-chat

[west mountain]

26 🙂. But I am the crazy guy here.

[molten siren]

holy

I'm proud to announce Subnautica: Below Zero is my first steam game to achieve all badges.

[bold monolith]

2 days isn't what I would call typical.

[molten siren]

What's this?

[bold monolith]

https://howlongtobeat.com/game/64768

[molten siren]

For a first run it probably is typical.

[bold monolith]

I don't think it is. But there is no "ideal" time to complete the game.

You take the time you want. It's good if you enjoyed it.

[molten siren]

Weird, this says I did the game in 59 hours and 28 minutes but on steam it says playtime was 72.9 hours.

Maybe the loading times 🤷‍♂️

[eternal garnet]

steam includes reloaded saves

and sitting in the menu

[molten siren]

ohh

[bold monolith]

The time you spent on the main menu, or in the pause menu.

[molten siren]

yeah I remember staying in the menu for quite some time

[eternal garnet]

right. pause too

Ignis will beat me here

[bold monolith]

Clearly. I spent too much time reversing it.

Also each time there was an update I was launching the game to see what was new. It was like Christmas every day.

[eternal garnet]

I did that also. Usually a new run

[molten siren]

Why is the shadow leviathan so hard to scan bruh?

You can only scan him on that cyan part where he bites you.

They should make it so you can scan him on the whole body.

[eternal garnet]

anywhere on the head, meaning above. No teeth there

[broken badge]

I’m guessing it’s related to the head being the only area where the hitbox is😅

[molten siren]

Just killed a ghost leviathan cus it wasn't letting me scan it, feeling good.

How do you scan the birds bruh?

They keep flying away from me every time.

[eternal garnet]

find a cave bird. or skip

[knotty coyote]

hey can someone tell me name of creature that have body like this? i forgot it and i cant remember

its friendly and it lives near ||maida greenhouse||

[eternal garnet]

Pinnacarid

[knotty coyote]

oh yep thanks! :D

[left marsh]

Does anyone know where the stasis rifle is in below zero

[eternal garnet]

it's cut from the game, available by cheat only

[left marsh]

Damn thanks though

[steel shoal]

Very sad sight, rip Christy

[fervent bloom]

They're easier to scan than the chelicerate, I think.

[carmine bobcat]

So, I‘ve been to the || Delta Station || thing and scanned a Multipurpose Room, where is this Constructionworker Tool? I didn‘t get ANYTHING after scanning the room…

[steel shoal]

The habitat builder can be found in a little outpost on the surface, and I think in an underwater base in the twisty bridges

[carmine bobcat]

Ok, you mean the tentacle coral region with the wierd sharks?

[steel shoal]

Yes

[left marsh]

Also in the koppa mine but its quite deep

[left marsh]

||the twisted bridges one is in a little pod with water inside next to the hight capacity o2 tank data box||

[eternal garnet]

and one at Delta station. Yes. Outside the first door!

[tulip estuary]

where can i get help with the game?
when i open it its fine and when i go into a world it turns black and white
i just installed it for the first time

would love help as im trying to stream it and this just wont work

[bold monolith]

Let me pick my crystal ball.

It tells me you're using Mac OS, is that right?

Which store?

You have to use -force-glcore as a launch option.

[tulip estuary]

now my game is having a seizure

and it wont load

nvm i lied

[bold monolith]

Which kind of Mac OS?

[tulip estuary]

i think it works

[carmine bobcat]

Ok, is there an Alien Containment Unit and if yes, Can You Get the Majestic Titanus Holefish as an Egg?

[fervent bloom]

There's only one place where you can find the alien containment unit blueprint, but it does exist. You can indeed get titan holefish eggs. (They're actually the first egg I hatched in this game.)

[molten siren]

GUESS WHAT

I found out how to recharge ion cubes

Basically, if you use the tether 2 times, then you use recyclotron to make it into its constituent parts. Then you make an ion battery then you break it down with recyclotron then you get full ion cube.

[steel shoal]

That was the first thing I was told when I talked in this channel for the first time. How convenient.

[molten siren]

Wait what?

[steel shoal]

That exploit gets shared around here very often

Same with recycling and fabricating repair tools, you magically get a battery

[steel stream]

You can recharge the tether tool with swim charge fins

[steel shoal]

Wait, really?

[steel stream]

Yes, but it's going to take a lot of time

[steel shoal]

Whatever it takes for infinite ion energy

[molten siren]

It doesn't work.

[steel stream]

How long did you swim around? It's slow...

[molten siren]

Literally 300 metres.

[steel shoal]

300 000 power or something, right?

It recharges 1 at a time

[chrome cedar]

I was talking about recycling the ion cube like that about a week ago here. LoL

[molten siren]

lmao

[steel stream]

Then did you look at the power level of the ion cube? The actual number when you select tether tool in inventory?

[steel stream]

So, to prove it works (sorry, my game is in Finnish): after using tether tool once (spoilered image if someone doesn't want to see that tool)

And after swimming a little:

The percentage wouldn't change for a long time though...

So while theoretically possible, not practical way to recharge ion cubes...

[molten siren]

ohh

[fervent bloom]

Even if it's totally and completely impractical, that's still amazing!

[steel stream]

Even if you wouldn't want to abuse recyclotron, you could change the ion cube after 2 tether uses and craft the 33% cube into something else, for example ion battery and charge that

[fervent bloom]

You could even use swim charge fins to charge it a tiny bit, and get three uses out of it. It will still exist even if it has 6 power.

[steel stream]

True

But the fastest way to recharge ion cube is habitat builder: craft and decraft recyclotron...

[fervent bloom]

Well, yeah.... that's exploitation, though.

[steel stream]

Yep...

And recyclotron itself offers lots of exploitation opportunities...especially since the game offers some advanced materials, so with a little trick you necessarily don't need to find where some exotic plant lives...

[carmine bobcat]

if anybody’s confused about BZ’s ending, ||those names are the people who worked on the game||

[deep kettle]

You mean the credits?

I would say that's pretty normal to be shown in games like these 😛

[carmine bobcat]

yeah

that was the joke

[deep kettle]

Oh

[merry oak]

I just saw dev changes saying fixed penguins eating baby penguins. Fixed baby penguins disappearing from inventory due to eating itself

[chrome cedar]

Oh my…

[carmine bobcat]

NOOO

cannibalism was my favorite feature

[fervent bloom]

I'm very glad they fixed that. They saved so many penglings!

[fervent bloom]

That's... unfortunate, especially if it's something that can be planted.

[left marsh]

Is repair tool supposed to have infinite battery in BZ

[eternal garnet]

only inside your base.

This is intentional

[left marsh]

No mine also has it everywhere i go

[west mountain]

Do you have swim charge fins on?

[foggy river]

Where in the world do I find repulsion canon frags

[eternal garnet]

repulsion is not ingame (except as a cheat), prop cannon is

[foggy river]

Okay well where is the prop cannon then. I get the mixed up

I checked the sea monkey nests near the alterra emergency cache

[fervent bloom]

Really? I've never noticed that.

[eternal garnet]

here, map. Kelp root caves

[foggy river]

I have not played the game long enough to be able to follow this

[eternal garnet]

it's like "west of twisty bridges" and "east of twisty bridges". Monkey nests in kelp root caves

brown-green is thermal spires

green streaks are kelp forest

[foggy river]

Oh alright got it

[foggy river]

Yippie time to ||blow up a space station||

[eternal garnet]

not even close to what you do there

[unkempt kettle]

Y’all correct me if I am wrong but the creepvine seed clusters and the creepvine it self changed color in subnautica below zero because of the temperature of the region or was it just changed for no reason

[steel shoal]

There is not much sun in the sector, and green in plants usually means they need sunlight

[sand bridge]

green in plants means they have enough sunlight, you mean. if there's no sunlight, then the chlorophyll that reflects green light withers away, and the other pigments that reflect red and orange are the only ones there

[steel shoal]

Yea, that

[sand bridge]

👍 lol

[fervent bloom]

Why is it that trivalve eggs are always found in pairs?

[steel shoal]

It probably has a lore reason. Maybe the parents lay eggs in pairs for increased survivability of the offspring

[fervent bloom]

That would make sense. I wonder if trivalves bond with each other the way they can bond with humans.

From a gameplay perspective, though, it would be cool if there were six egg locations rather than three.

[steel shoal]

It says they're very sociable

[fervent bloom]

I need to look at what the PDA says again...

If there were more locations, which biomes would they to be in?

Also, how does the vortex torpedo work? I was experimenting in Creative mode, and it seems like it swallows creatures forever.

[tulip estuary]

question about mods

how can i use -force-opengl with the "pathname" %command% thing

[mellow geode]

steam launch options

[tulip estuary]

it only lets me put 1

like how do i put 2

[mellow geode]

you're not supposed to put the whole path

just the -force-opengl

steam will automatically call the executible

[tulip estuary]

tysmsorry

i was told otherwise

didnt work

im p sure i need the path

the mods didnt launch

[mellow geode]

mods only work on pc btw

[tulip estuary]

they work on mac for me

in below zero and normal subnautica

its jsut the opengl glitch in below zero

[mellow geode]

i don't have a mac to test with

what opengl glitch

[tulip estuary]

for macu need to use the -opengl-force thing

or else itsj ust pink and pixelated

[mellow geode]

it's -force-opengl

[tulip estuary]

ik

[mellow geode]

not -opengl-force

[tulip estuary]

ik

i just need to know how to use multiple launch options

cus it only uses the first one i set

[foggy river]

I'm remembering pre 1.0 days

[foggy river]

Where is the best spot to find magnetite without getting swallowed whole

[west mountain]

Deep lilypad cave for example.

[foggy river]

With the cotton things?

[west mountain]

Correct

[foggy river]

Dang wish I had known that before I left with a spendy fabrication part

[west mountain]

Many reasons to go back there

[tacit comet]

Which place?

[west mountain]

There is also magnetite in a cave system above phi robotics

[tacit comet]

It's quite common in Glacial Basin.

Mostly in mineral deposits.

[west mountain]

The cotton cave. There ere || two very rare species of creature eggs || in the cave

[tacit comet]

cool

[west mountain]

But very hard to find

[carmine bobcat]

||The trilovite eggs? there are two orange ones in the cotton cave and another blue somewhere else, but i cant remember where (three in total)||

[west mountain]

Yes, but there is another species in the cave too

[west mountain]

And there are ||four blue|| in total

[carmine bobcat]

whats the other species?

[west mountain]

||squidshark||

[carmine bobcat]

oh yeah, they're in the ||lilly pads|| near ||margurite's sea base|| also

[west mountain]

No, only two eggs are in cotton cave

[carmine bobcat]

No, the ||squidsharks||. They are also in the ||deep twisty bridges||

[west mountain]

I talk about the eggs, of course:squidsharks are in many places.

[carmine bobcat]

oh, ok, i though you meant the ||squidsharks||

do you know where the ||blue trilovite eggs|| are?

[west mountain]

Yes

[carmine bobcat]

where?

[west mountain]

||two in a cave way up north in arctic spires||

And two || in a cave above water in the last iceberg in the west arctic||

Use yoitube tutorials to find them

[carmine bobcat]

i once got trapped there, while looking for ||magnetite|| and came up in a little pool thing and a ||snow stalker|| jumped on my ||seatruck|| and almost broke it!

[west mountain]

That was probabely glacial basin

Arctic spires is accross the bridge

[carmine bobcat]

yeah, sorry, i meant the glacial basin

[west mountain]

Np

Also very important area

[carmine bobcat]

the glacial basin

?

[west mountain]

Did you find phi excavation site?

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah! I played through the base game and died a bunch of times and then played through below zero and didnt die much and then played through the base game again and only died once in the ||ilz|| right infront of the ||primary containment facility|| from a ||sea dragon shooting fire balls at me!||

i 100% both games on my first playthroghs

[west mountain]

Did you ||cure the frozen leviathan|| in Phi excavation site?

[foggy river]

Do sea truck modules have a crush depth

[west mountain]

No, it all depends on the depth upgrade of the seatruck

[west mountain]

Also the prawn does not get crushed when carring on the docking module

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah, i so blind and didnt sea the terminal and looked up a tutorial on how to administer the antidote

[foggy river]

Don't have that module yet.

Also I can't find any magnetite

[west mountain]

Deep lilypad cave. The orange biome

[carmine bobcat]

its in the underwater glacial bay caves as well

[foggy river]

With the floaty orange things right?

[west mountain]

Yes

[foggy river]

Yeah there's none down here

[west mountain]

Magnerite? The cave is full of them

[foggy river]

I figured out why I didn't see any

It perfectly matches the texture of the biome

[carmine bobcat]

what biome ere you in?

[west mountain]

We are talking about the Deep lilypad cave, the orange biome

[carmine bobcat]

yeah, but which biome matches it?

[west mountain]

magnetite matches the pattern of the walls of deep lilypad cave. So hard to spot.

[carmine bobcat]

ooooh, okay, nickel matches the wall of margurites cave really well as well

[oak geyser]

Id there anything in the ||koppa mining site aside from the architect statue and ores as I went there and got to the deepest spot and found nothing other than that||

[west mountain]

Resources, prawn suit scans, the prawn suit propulsion upgrade, rock puncher eggs, drill arm fragments. A fantastic place to explore!

[carmine bobcat]

the ||prawn suit jump jet module is down the in the prawn suite bay looking thing||

[oak geyser]

Where's the ||propulsion arm||

[carmine bobcat]

there are some fragments in the ||crystal caves||

[west mountain]

Prawn suit propulsion canon is in ||crystal cavern||

[carmine bobcat]

same with torpedo arms

[oak geyser]

Where's the ||jump jet upgrade and wdym by bay|| as in like the thing with all the prawns suits like after you go down the lift I had a look but couldn't find anything

[west mountain]

Its on the rack where all the prawns are hung up.

[carmine bobcat]

yes, its in there in a terminal looking thing

[oak geyser]

Ahh I had a look in that but couldn't find it thanks

And now I need to find the greenhouse go on land and go deeper

[foggy river]

I unlocked the grapple arm, but then when I went to save the game crashed

[carmine bobcat]

if youve played the first game its in the thing you got the seamoth depth module mk1 in the aurora

[carmine bobcat]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

So, because my PDA said that there is a wreck of something I‘m assuming that there is also a Lasercutter and if there is, where are the fragments for it?

[foggy river]

Best bet is sea monkey nests

[oak geyser]

I found them in sea monk nests

[carmine bobcat]

in sea monkey nests

[west mountain]

Laser cutter fragments are in seamonkey nests in the arctic shallows and also in the first ||mercury 2 wreck|| near delta island. Fragments are also in twisty bridges border to thermal spires.

[oak geyser]

Can someone get me a map of the lilypad cave entrances I want the seatruck afterburner upgrade but I couldn't find it

[west mountain]

Its where the pilot last known position is. Just go down there. Huge cave system to explore, many entrance and exits

[oak geyser]

I looked down there couldn't find one

[carmine bobcat]

The nests I‘ve been to always held Mobile Vehicle Bay or Seaglide

[west mountain]

Its huge and its all over the place. Many nests to search for great upgrades.

[west mountain]

We talk about lilypad crevices not deep lilypad cave, ok

[oak geyser]

It was all exosuit thermal module and ultra capacity o2 rank

[oak geyser]

Yeah down there

[west mountain]

Yep and many more

[oak geyser]

Like that was it

I couldn't find anything else

[west mountain]

Afterburner, horsepower, grapple arm

[oak geyser]

I'm saying I found some of the horsepower and afterburner upgrades but not all

[west mountain]

They are all there

[oak geyser]

I know that

[west mountain]

Good, go and find the rest

[oak geyser]

I spent a will trying to find them I just couldn't

[carmine bobcat]

its in the cave under the "pilot last know location" marker

[west mountain]

I cant play for you, look up tutorials on youtube, they are all there. But as I said, its a huge system, many twist and turns.

[oak geyser]

I give up

[west mountain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNJH3hFsrUk

[carmine bobcat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNJH3hFsrUk

[carmine bobcat]

oh sorry you already pu the link ther

[west mountain]

All fine

[carmine bobcat]

hylian mom tutorials are really good

[west mountain]

Excellent, I always refer to them

[carmine bobcat]

same with chemical apes tutorials

[west mountain]

Absolutely

[carmine bobcat]

if it wasnt for them i wouldn't have gotten through either game!

[livid plover]

chatgpt told me that the ice worm is not a leviathan XD

[eternal garnet]

but it is

[livid plover]

THAT'S WHY XD

[mellow geode]

but it sorta isn't

[eternal garnet]

it's not an entity. But that's game technical stuff

of course it's a leviathan

[mellow geode]

but you can't exactly interact with it

[eternal garnet]

so? Leviathan is more a thing of being "a huge monster"

is what it means

[livid plover]

''leviathan'' does not define a species but rather this term is used to refer to an enormous life form🤓 ☝️

[carmine bobcat]

The game just took literally 10 minutes to save, I thought it was over

[carmine bobcat]

It has happened again, with the difference that it is still saving, I was also trying to look for titanium but the game thought I‘d be fun to load NOTHING, no creature, no flora, no fauna, no minerals…

[bold monolith]

On the Switch?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

[bold monolith]

Were you around Delta?

[carmine bobcat]

Well, yes? But it first happened after I went away from Marguerites place if I remember correctly

I saved the game for 10 minutes at Marguerites place, went outside after it finished, gone back to my Base, slept, went Back to marguerites base because cool glowing wales and after I went from the wales to search for Titanium I noticed a severe lack of ||squidshark|| and flora on one of those floating Islands. I looked back to the wales and they were also gone. After that I did go near Delta Station because I remembered that there were a lot of outcrops but there was NOTHING, then I went to one of those Kelp forests and noticed a lack of kelp, after I went into one of those caves I‘ve seen a a blue glow in one of the corners and after that I wanted to save again and during this saving process which after 15 minutes crashed my game everything loaded back into the game slowly, but now everything is normal again and saving takes 30 seconds

[abstract storm]

Whats better?

[fervent bloom]

I don't use either; the RDS slows you down if you don't have a Seaglide, but it halves all damage against you. I don't know whether the other suit has any speed penalty, but it's not too necessary with all the water-giving plants in this game and the water filtration machine.

[steel stream]

Do you want to slow down and suffer half damage, or not slow down and not need to worry about water?

[abstract storm]

water.

[steel stream]

Of course as tigrinum mentioned, seaglide practically overrides speed penalties for equipment...

[abstract storm]

Water.

[fervent bloom]

With it only using four slots rather than six in this game, I bring it wherever I go (unless I'm heading to the ||Glacial Basin|| or ||Arctic Spires||.

[west mountain]

I use filtration suit all the time. Once you are out of any danger and know how to deal with everything, no need for the protection, but having water all the time is very convenient.

Just noted that even if an animal is chewing on you and you are down to 5% health, your equipment is not taking any damage at all. That is a bit unrealistic 🙂.

[fervent bloom]

It's also unrealistic that being crushed in the jaws of a 40-meter predator doesn't instantly kill you.

[steel stream]

Apart from batteries running out, there's no wear/durability for equipment...

[west mountain]

Hey, they reinforced dive suits does a great job protecting you!!! More like a fullmetal dive helmet

[steel stream]

And you can kill the said predator with knife...(and maybe some med packs)

[steel stream]

But at full health you survive the first bite even in normal dive suit, at least I think so

[west mountain]

Yes, just noted the difference from "the long dark" where everything wears off and even gets destroyed when attacked 🙂

[fervent bloom]

What about when you just have the AEP suit? (it's what you wear when you aren't wearing anything.)

[fervent bloom]

It would be cool if that was an option in the Custom game mode.

[west mountain]

A bit less protection, but you still survive

[steel stream]

I've heard that at some point knife had durability in the first game and there was hardened blade with higher durability

[left marsh]

Also any base pieces are completely fine next to some pf the most violent creatures in both games

[west mountain]

It hink its ok the way it is, otherwise you would be constantely replacing your stuff. Its not a long term survival game, its fine the way it is.

[steel stream]

Just remembered one more option: the cold suit, but it's only useful out of water (and slows down your swim speed)

[west mountain]

But someone please explain me this: Why all bases are in total ruin but the fragile spy transmission tower on delta, that caused so much problem to keep up and running is in prestine condition

[left marsh]

Not really necessary since you can take prawn suit on land

[steel stream]

Plot armor?

[left marsh]

Thats how i got the last alan body part

[west mountain]

Cold suit is great, really helps you explore and run around in the arctic. I always use it when I am there.

[west mountain]

Yes, must be

[steel stream]

I also like to use cold suit and snowfox on the large land area. Now that I think of it, I have never used prawn for land exploration for some reason...

[west mountain]

I use prawn only when I am going for drilling ore veins. There is a lot of silver and copper and the dimaond pit and the ion cube piles.

[abstract storm]

where do i get this

[graceful monolith]

When is below zero gonna be on sale again/when is christmas sale gonna start on steam?

[steel stream]

Magnetite is mostly on dry land, and many places require spy pengling. There is a trick to get it from sea monkeys though...

[steel stream]

I think both Subnautica games were recently on a very cheap sale on Steam on black friday, you might have missed it...

[graceful monolith]

Yep they were 10 usd so I got the first subnautica

But I didnt have enough money on my card yo get the second

Anyone know when the next sale's gonna be?

[left marsh]

Maybe boxing day

[graceful monolith]

Hopefully🙏🙏

[fervent bloom]

It can also be found without too much trouble in the ||Crystal Caves|| and ||Deep Lilypads Cave||.

[foggy river]

I'm having trouble with progression after finding the ||skeleton|| I'm on the large island, and made a snowfox, but I have no idea where to go from here

[steel stream]

Do you mean glacial basin/area in the west when you say island? Near phi robotics? Lot to explore in that area. Repair and cross the bridge to get one hint for direction. Scan map in phi robotics for another direction

[steel shoal]

Reading the PDA for clues works wonders

[foggy river]

I found the short cut, but now I have a big problem. An eye jelly managed to glitch into my sea truck, rendering my sea truck unusable

How long do these things take to despawn

[steel shoal]

They don't despawn

I think you can leave and rejoin (don't forget to save)

[foggy river]

Dead fauna doesn't despawn?

[steel shoal]

Did you kill it?

[foggy river]

Yes

[steel shoal]

It will stay there until you go away/reload the save

[foggy river]

That seems game vreaking

[steel shoal]

It's not

Just leave and rejoin

Corpses will disappear

[fervent bloom]

Eye jellies respawn, too.

[oak geyser]

I scanned you yesterday

[fervent bloom]

I will assume you mean the triops. Where did you find them?

[oak geyser]

||koppa mining site||

[fervent bloom]

That's one of the best place to find them, I think. I love the red feather fish there as well.

I love how floppy triops are when they swim.

[oak geyser]

I love the rock grubs

I want to make a creature containment and fill it up with rock grubs

[fervent bloom]

Unfortunately, they cannot be placed in aquariums. They'd look very nice scuttling around and glowing. (Don't worry, I know that they can be placed in alien containment units.)

[steel shoal]

Triops taste bad

It might not matter much to you, but it does to me. No more eating triops person after a DnD campaign

[oak geyser]

I was wondering would it be possible to ||punch kill an ice worm levitation in your prawn||

[fervent bloom]

I don't really get what triops as an edible fish and D&D have to do with each other...

[steel shoal]

Ice Worms aren't real creatures, they're puppets

They have no AI, and can't be interacted with, they're just a model following animations

[oak geyser]

I still need to do proper exploration on land

[oak geyser]

That's sad

[steel shoal]

It means all those leviathan slayer losers can't hurt them, I think it's a win

Long live the Worm

[fervent bloom]

The worm is all-powerful and will reign for eternity!

[fervent bloom]

It is a really good thing that no one can hurt it.

[steel shoal]

Well, you're the triops person...

[fervent bloom]

It makes sense, I suppose.

I made a floodlight for my Seatruck parking area and later got absolutely terrified by the ||shadow leviathan||.

[oak geyser]

I want to name my prawn gypsy danger

[steel shoal]

The name of the emote says it all

[steel shoal]

Why?

[oak geyser]

Because when I pilot it I feel like a gager pilot (dont know if it spelt it correct)

[steel shoal]

Jaeger? From Pacific Rim?

[fervent bloom]

I think the terror it invokes has a few reasons: 1) the depth at which it dwells 2) the claustrophobic and confusing nature of the ||Crystal Caverns|| and 3) the way that it can easily blend in and surprise you.

[steel shoal]

They're also very fast

[fervent bloom]

It has more known concept art than any other creature in either game; I think it paid off.

[oak geyser]

Yes

[fervent bloom]

I wonder what the fastest creatures on the planet are... (in terms of maximum speed)

[steel shoal]

Wormy wins

[oak geyser]

Marguerite

[fervent bloom]

The wiki has sound clips for a lot of Below Zero creatures (with things like various roars, bites, swimming noises, and calls), and the ice worm's sound effects are absolutely beautiful.

[steel shoal]

I agree

I think it would benefit from being a little louder

Cryptolosers have the loudest and most threatening roar in the game, it makes everything else feel inferior

[oak geyser]

Would you recommend using the snow fox?

[steel shoal]

It's fun, and looks cool

[oak geyser]

Especially considering you can bump into them with your seatruck and they go splat

Literally they die if you bump into them

[fervent bloom]

Cryptosuchus roars are certainly loud, but I like that volume doesn't necessarily equal danger.

[steel shoal]

I think the problem is that they're so loud I kinda lower the game volume, and then all other fish suffer from it

[oak geyser]

I find the issue is is that I hear a crazy fish roar and then don't know if thats the big prawn fishy or just rhe crazy fish

Crazy fish bwing cryptolosers cause they swim so weirdly

[fervent bloom]

I can see that be a problem. I don't really mind the cryptosuchus roars, for some reason.

[steel shoal]

I love the way they swim

So silly

[oak geyser]

I got the subnautica stimulus track and nkw i just have it on loop cause I don't have anything else and i hate the seatruck one

[steel shoal]

I don't mind them, but the more I play, the more I notice how significantly louder it is. Have you heard a Chelicerate?

[steel shoal]

Which one is "the seatruck one"?

I like Mirage Machine, it's really good

[fervent bloom]

In the original concepts, they were going to swim like an otter, which didn't really get carried over. I wonder if they might ever come up on land to dry off and escape from predators (they probably can't walk on their fins, as they look fragile, but perhaps they could push themselves along).

[oak geyser]

Ita like all afe in my sea truck or something I think it's the sorter thimg Fred wpuld listen to

[steel shoal]

They look like crocodiles, in a way...

[fervent bloom]

You could say that...

[steel shoal]

But their roars are so loud, you can barely hear the Cheli near the vents

Also, for some reason, Brute Sharks, Squidsharks and oogaboogas have very similar chase SFX... I wonder if that was on purpose

[fervent bloom]

I can see how the two -sharks are similar, but I can't really think of the ||shadow leviathan|| chase noises...

[steel shoal]

Well, you could go all the way down and hear for yourself

[fervent bloom]

I will soon... I went back to my base to make the MK3 depth upgrade for the Seatruck.

[foggy river]

So I got the ||tissue||

[steel shoal]

I do need some tissues, I have allergies...

Surely he wouldn't mind

[foggy river]

I thought you needed an extra for the snow fox to get to it

[steel shoal]

An extra upgrade?

[foggy river]

Didn't there used to be a jump platform?

[steel shoal]

There is a dock and a jumping module

[thorn orbit]

Guys pls tell me

That zone is dangerous???

@fervent bloom @celest marlin

[fervent bloom]

That biome is inhabited by a ||very large and dangerous leviathan|| called the ||shadow leviathan||. It's definitely a dangerous area, but not necessarily more so than others.

[thorn orbit]

Bruhhh

[steel shoal]

I think the PDA said something about a ||leviathan nearby...||

[thorn orbit]

Just saw shadow and I’m very scare

[thorn orbit]

No…

She didn’t still advertising me

[fervent bloom]

The attacks are survivable, but first aid kits are good to have on hand if you're leaving a vehicle.

[steel shoal]

When I got the voice message, mere seconds later it showed up. Very scary indeed

[thorn orbit]

Great! In this zone is where just kyanite right?

[steel shoal]

Yes

[thorn orbit]

Ok I probably will dead right?

[fervent bloom]

There's also nickel ore to be found in some areas, though there are easier places to find it.

[fervent bloom]

I wouldn't say that; do you have the perimeter defense upgrade?

[thorn orbit]

Ohh I should create that

Is better if I return to base

[fervent bloom]

I might, but you can also be cautious and take advantage of the fact that vehicles aren't attacked when you aren't piloting them (if you have a Seatruck with one or more modules, this is helpful). In general, it's a very useful thing to have.

[thorn orbit]

Ye

I saw that this area is chill

But I think that if I continue with the way is prob that thing appear

[fervent bloom]

You'll almost certainly run into it at some point...

[thorn orbit]

Ye but

I want to prepare with the thing you told me

[foggy river]

Pokemon update is out so I'll play again after I finish that

[fervent bloom]

Okay, sounds good.

[oak geyser]

where do i find magnetite

[next current]

Ore Veins in the Glacial Basin or on the sea floor in the Deep Lilypad Caves and the ||Crystal Caves||.

[oak geyser]

THANKS

sorry caps

[livid plover]

||I think the crystal caves are more difficult than the magma zone in Subnautica, because while in Subnautica there are only 2 Sea Dragons, in Below Zero there are 4 Shadow Leviathans, also the Shadow Leviathans are more persistent and do more damage it even damaged my seat truck so many times that I spent an entire battery of a repair tool xd.||

[steel stream]

Technically ||crystal caverns has 2 and fabricator caverns another 2...similarly in first game inactive lava zone has 2 dragons and lava lakes 1. If you can time seatruck perimeter defence correctly, you take only very little, if any damage||

[west mountain]

As Mika wrote, if you use the perimeter defense upgrade at the right point in time, it does not cause any damage at all (or just very few). Do you have it installed?

[zinc void]

Hey Below Zero people, I haven't been playing this game for months now.

Wonder how y'all doing

[eternal garnet]

my feet are wet.

[zinc void]

Better keep them dry, you don't wanna slip.

[west mountain]

Excellent, thanks for asking. Just about playing subnautica in real life soon 🙂

[zinc void]

Hopefully you'll catch some fishes

[west mountain]

Picture-wise yes!

[steel stream]

You got to at least try the Subnautica way: catching fish with bare hands while swimming by😅

[livid plover]

Nope

[west mountain]

Then you play really really hardcore 🙂

[west mountain]

The perimeter defense upgrade module is on the floor in ||Maidas seabase||

[livid plover]

O ok thanks, but im very lazy to do it

[fervent bloom]

I'd love some more details...

[west mountain]

Thanks, I can highly recomment to check the link in my profile. On our youtube channel we persent wonderful nature videos on land and underwater. Now specifically we go to Papua New Guinea for scuba diving.

[eternal garnet]

Niiice

[carmine bobcat]

Is there a way to make this thing not only L O N G but also fast?

[molten siren]

What happens when the cold temperature goes to zero?

[molten siren]

You need the seatruck horsepower module.

[carmine bobcat]

Where can I get that?

[molten siren]

Find blueprints around the map

[carmine bobcat]

Well yes, general area?

[bold monolith]

Lilypads.

Not the entire biome. Something specific in it.

[carmine bobcat]

Something large with an Alien Containment in it?

[bold monolith]

No.

Something small and round.

[left marsh]

||go to pilots last known location, look for sea monkey nests. You can find 3 useful upgrades: seatruck afterburner, seatruck horsepower and prawn suit grapple arm frags||

[bold monolith]

The ultra high capacity tank is quite useful as well.

[carmine bobcat]

Got everything except high capacity tank

[molten siren]

Is there stasis rifle in below zero?

[bold monolith]

No.

[chrome cedar]

It will never be truly fast.

[carmine bobcat]

As long as it is faster than me swimming I‘m fine

[left marsh]

U high capacity tanknis probably rhe easier to find out of the 3

[carmine bobcat]

Nope, still looking for the third fragment

[left marsh]

They spawn at about 150-250m i believe

In relatively close proximity woth wach other

[carmine bobcat]

Finally

Found everything

Can you stack horsepower?

[bold monolith]

No.

[carmine bobcat]

There are four upgrade places, is there something like the defense system or sonar?

[bold monolith]

The perimeter defense exists in this game, but not the sonar.

[carmine bobcat]

Ok, thats something to look out for

[bold monolith]

It's perhaps more overpowered here, as the two leviathans grab your vehicles contrary to the first game.

[carmine bobcat]

wait

there is more than just the Chelicerate?

[bold monolith]

Sorry for the spoil.

[carmine bobcat]

No, no problem, is the "thing" near large crystal things? I found them near Marguerite

[bold monolith]

If you already saw one it wasn't a spoil then.

[carmine bobcat]

No, I haven‘t seen a creature, only crystals

Because 500 meters without vehicle was a bit too dangerous for me

[carmine bobcat]

So, during all this time I forgot the most important thing, the majestic Titanus Holefish, where are their eggs?

[eternal garnet]

inside icebergs

[carmine bobcat]

Just the ones floating around somewhere or is there a specific Iceberg?

[eternal garnet]

those with holes. usually near the bottom end

PDA will mention some of them, calling the holes moulins

[carmine bobcat]

moulins? I will look out for such a message

[lavish mauve]

is there anyway for me to play the game without paying cuz like my parents dont buy me games and i seriously want to play subnautica real bad

and i dont want to pirate the game

[carmine bobcat]

Guess what? The game crashed, one hour of progress lost

[bronze meteor]

that is bad

[eternal garnet]

oh no. you must save more often. 4 times an hour is good

[carmine bobcat]

I know, I know. I got lazy

As far as I can tell I "just" lost a little bit of lithium, an unkown egg, a BOOM fish egg (forgot the name) and probably the rarest material in the game, Tablecorals

And of course traveltime

[eternal garnet]

crashfish. The canyon in twisty bridges has a lot of table coral, at about 100m

[thorn orbit]

Bro I saw a criatura that was as A fish without skin

[eternal garnet]

spinefish? it's transparent

[thorn orbit]

In the same biome where a leviathan used to stand

[thorn orbit]

Ye I think

[eternal garnet]

it's small, relative of the hoopfish

[thorn orbit]

This happened when I go to ||laboratory omega||

[thorn orbit]

No bro was BIG

[eternal garnet]

maybe a texture bug

[thorn orbit]

Well… after when I turn my pc I will share a picture

[eternal garnet]

there is a pale dead-looking version of the chelicerate. it's also 200% size

[thorn orbit]

Ye thats was!!

Is aggressive?

[eternal garnet]

it's in the void, there to keep you away

oh yes.

And it comes in three's

[thorn orbit]

NoNo, that is in the dead zone

[eternal garnet]

same thing

[thorn orbit]

When I went to ||LB Omega|| I saw it, and I do not was on void zone

[eternal garnet]

hm, it should not be there

[thorn orbit]

Btw, I found the dead zone with a strange way lmao. I was trying around a glacier to climb it and it was so long that I went on and on and on and I stopped and when I stopped I got the warning on the pda

[thorn orbit]

Well 😢

I stepped back and hide

Btw, that fish was as the fish of the cave where is the fire leviathan. Was like that

Only it was bigger, then I will share a picture when I turn on the pc

[bronze meteor]

hey guys does anyone want to play some multiplayer? (dm me if yes)

[eternal garnet]

Here's the one I mean. Human for scale too

[eternal garnet]

There's not really an enjoyable version of multiplayer below zero yet

[bronze meteor]

oh :I thx..

[eternal garnet]

The Subnautica mod is much more finished. you can have fun in that

[bronze meteor]

in the sub chat no one is talkin' there :I

already asked no one aswered

[eternal garnet]

ask again, this time mention multiplayer in nitrox. And insteall it first + test

[bronze meteor]

what is nitrox?

[eternal garnet]

the SN multiplayer mod. it's not the easiest to get to work. But there are worse things

[bronze meteor]

bro i dont even know how to install mods ☠️

[eternal garnet]

then there is no multiplayer fishy game

Neither game has multiplayer built in

[bronze meteor]

ima try bro

[thorn orbit]

Ye I think that is it

[steel shoal]

Chelis are way bigger than they appear

[carmine bobcat]

Those are the largest eggs I‘ve ever seen

[steel shoal]

I wonder, how many omelettes can you make with 1?

[carmine bobcat]

At least one

[candid steeple]

9 inventory slots, 9 omelets

[carmine bobcat]

I only know one thing this egg could be from, and I LOVE it

I actually wonder how many eggs that I didn‘t dicover yet are still out there

[fervent bloom]

Which have you discovered? Almost every creature in the game that isn't stationary or a leviathan and can't be picked up has one.

[fervent bloom]

The void chelicerate is larger than the standard chelicerate, but they're huge regardless. The mandibles can easily wrap around the Seatruck cabin.

[left marsh]

The void chelicerate measure 65m while the shadow leviathan measures 60m. I feel that it gets slept on a bit.

[steel shoal]

But both are huge

[fervent bloom]

This is true; the reaper is longer, but the chelicerate is significantly more stocky.

[left marsh]

Either way reaper much more terrifying because of lighting + more aggressive

[charred sequoia]

My ||snowfox|| is stuck

The chelicerate just looks like a big shrimp

[oak geyser]

Where did you get it?

[next current]

The chunks of terrain that are being held up by the large Lilypads.

[fervent bloom]

I think Nikolai was discussing the smaller eggs that are found in icebergs and belong to ||titan holefish||.

[oak geyser]

i found the titan hole fish eggs im aksing about the other ones hte blue ines wwith the vrown lookinh things

[fervent bloom]

In that case, listen to Slicey.

[oak geyser]

okay

[eager sapphire]

can someone like, help me figure out what it is i need to be doing?

i stopped playing the game and i'm sort of lost and if someone wants to like, dm me and help that'd be neat

[fervent bloom]

What point of the game have you reached? The answer is very different depending on your progression.

Also, it's never a bad idea to keep reading your PDA.

[plucky mesa]

Ah yes, land, my favorite piece of geography where legs are meant for.

[torn copper]

If your looking to finish the game I recommend subnautica below zero in 6 minutes which goes over the whole story to complete the game, and also main steps, really helpful if you are unsure of what to do next. @eager sapphire

[plucky mesa]

Below Zero leviathans are less scary than Subnautica's Reaper

Chelicerate are too goofy to be feared, more so just dodged, Shadow Leviathan is too pretty and majestic to be scary, Ice worm looks like he's supposed to be from Monster Hunter/Lost Planet and Cryptosuchus are just goofy goobers I run over with the Sea Truck

Ventgardens are friends

Roadkill has never been so deserved

It is funny to see Seatruck just body everything and everyone but the moment I try to drive into the quarry, nope, invisible wall

[left marsh]

My problem with BZ is how tanky the seatruck is cos you can just kill brutes, squidsharks and cryptosuchus really easily

Heck you can even ram into a chelicerate and be chill if using afternurner to escape

[left marsh]

You have to squeeze through the top

[oak geyser]

Dude you could look at a cryptosucis and it would splat

[livid plover]

Yesterday I was bored and I decided to read the pda of the life forms (something I never do) and I discovered interesting things, such as for example that the shadow leviathan's shovel head is worn to defend itself from males during the mating season.

[trim root]

You should always read the pda of the lifeforms

[livid plover]

ye its interesting

[magic cliff]

nikn2149 has been warned

Reason: Too many spoiler tags

[carmine bobcat]

In a cave

[eternal garnet]

sorry nikn. make longer spoilers

[deep kettle]

Mee6 strikes again D:

[terse atlas]

i am new here

so hello

[eternal garnet]

[terse atlas]

[deep kettle]

Hi 👋

[terse atlas]

hi

thom

ilove subnatica

[steel shoal]

Me too!

[fervent bloom]

Greetings!

[carmine bobcat]

Do you have unlimited leaves? The purple berry leaves?

nope, ok

[fervent bloom]

You can plant Preston's Delight to grow more.

[lusty mauve]

"might as well find the ghost leviathan of this game cant be that bad"

scared for my life

[carmine bobcat]

How do I get to ||the other side of the bridge in the phi robotics Island thingy||

[steel shoal]

You can activate the bridge

Look at the ground

[storm crest]

hellos

getting a lil spooky

[sour plover]

Is this game better than the original

[storm crest]

its gonna be fun getting out of here...

[sour plover]

Guys in advance please be careful with your spoilers because I haven't even downloaded this game yet

[storm crest]

only gave the depth
also it says spoiler warning in the description

[sour plover]

I said in advance

What you sent is okay I don't mind it lol

[storm crest]

your choice if you wanna see whats at this depth 😉

[chilly spruce]

legit so excited for new SN

[sour plover]

Is it releasing soon?

[storm crest]

wait is there another one?

[sour plover]

I'm guessing that's a leviathan without even clicking

[chilly spruce]

https://vxtwitter.com/Subnautica/status/1735707917708304723?s=20

[sour plover]

Yeah Subnautica 3

[chilly spruce]

literally just announced today

[storm crest]

well at this depth its gotta be 🙂

[sour plover]

I'm more excited for Subnautica 3 than GTA 6

[storm crest]

when does content become spoiler?

[steel shoal]

#announcements, we know.

[sour plover]

Anything about the game that isn't in the game's trailer or the very start of the game

[chilly spruce]

?

[storm crest]

going in circles at 650 metres... fun

[fervent bloom]

Hmmm... I wonder why you're at 650 meters. Do you have what you need for the MK3 Seatruck depth upgrade?

[storm crest]

i have it, was in || red crystal biome || but found my way out a while ago

[fervent bloom]

Oh, I see. I have yet to explore the ||Fabricator Caverns|| in my current game.

[storm crest]

so thats what the proper name is

ima go visit the ghost leviathans im bored

[fervent bloom]

It's always strange how the official biome names are rarely if ever given in the game.

[storm crest]

well that was fast

hmm, unscannable

[fervent bloom]

The only time I've lost a vehicle in Below Zero was due to a void chelicerate.

It doesn't have a separate scan, but the entry for the chelicerate mentions the void chelicerates.

[storm crest]

oh right "ghost leviathans" are in the first one

[storm crest]

that it does

[fervent bloom]

The chelicerate is one of the hardest leviathan scans to get, partially because of the open-water habitat.

[storm crest]

and the instakils

[fervent bloom]

It's only 75 damage (though it kills Robin instantly if she's below 77 health for some reason).

It's less than some other leviathans.

[storm crest]

"only" 75 damage

or 30 to a seatruck

thought i found a new area but nope

[fervent bloom]

Okay, that's very fair. Really, though it would make sense for it to do more, with those massive mandibles.

[storm crest]

they do less damage against prawn suits though

[storm crest]

my average health level

[fervent bloom]

Shrub nuts and antennae fruit give you 10 and 9 health, respectively... you probably know that, though.

[storm crest]

but theyre 2x2 and rot quickly

wish fridges could be used on seatrucks

[fervent bloom]

This is true, but they're useful for freely replenishing health when you're at a base.

A Seatruck fridge would be really very nice. What if one of the sections of the storage module was refrigerated?

[storm crest]

(ship with the prawn suits) howd this get in here

[fervent bloom]

That... is a good question. They can be found in the Lilypad Islands, but they're usually further from the seabed, and I'm surprised it found its way in.

[steel shoal]

It doesn't look very happy about this discovery

[storm crest]

oh its the other half of the mercury II

[fervent bloom]

Glow whales are very good at finding their way around obstacles, I've noticed.

[storm crest]

yeah i accidentally let one near my base

squidsharks keep turning off my power

[steel shoal]

They're so pretty

I love the long pectoral fins

[fervent bloom]

I agree! They're very sleek, too.

I want to hatch one, if I could only figure out where to release it...

[fervent bloom]

Have you got any suggestions, beyond the ||Deep Lilypads Cave||?

[unkempt kettle]

What if AL-AN is the sea emperor

[thorn orbit]

I need help @fervent bloom @eternal garnet xd

Where is the the base of alterra, I know that there is one island with bases of alterra

Where is that base

[thorn orbit]

By accident I went the void and this thing appeared to me

I was very scared bro

I don’t know as read this map haha

[thorn orbit]

Oh nvm, srry for ping guys… I found it

[carmine bobcat]

I think I found the other thing that can ||grab and feed on you||, my asumption was correct, it was in those ||crystaline caves|| near Maida

[plucky mesa]

Shadow Leviathan, luckily there's only 1 in the game

[eternal garnet]

erm... You may be in for a bad surprise

[carmine bobcat]

I actually think that this thing is more terrifying than anything I‘ve seen before. This Thing beats Reapers, Chelicerates, Ghosts and Sea Dragons with no problem on the terrifying scale

[eternal garnet]

but the reaper has a scarier noise

[carmine bobcat]

Yes, defenetly, but the first time I‘ve seen a reaper I could manage it fairly well because due to the extensive roaring I was able to notice it way earlier, this was like the first time I‘ve seen the thing and it didn‘t make any noise before the first roar

And it‘s name in german, Thanatos. In german the Reapers are called Cheliceratops and the Chelicerates are called Chelicephalus (Seadragons are just Seedrachen and Ghosts are Phantoms), Thanatos just sounds threatening

The other ones not really

[carmine bobcat]

I have a question, you of course can get ||Ion Batteries and Power Cells||, I have currently 6 Ion Cubes, what do I need them for else and where can I get more of them? Why do they have energy now? And is ||Ion Power|| as powerfull as in subnautica first game?

[bold monolith]

The energy bit is my fault.

Sort of.

You need 2 ion cubes, one for the story and the other if you want to activate the only portal you activate in the game.

All the others are optional.

[deep kettle]

How dare you suggest a change and then the person who does so makes it strange 👀

I can't believe you did that Ignis.

😂

[bold monolith]

He didn't really make it strange, I suggested that number.

[deep kettle]

Unplayable. I want a refund.

😄

[bold monolith]

Well, at least now they can't be recharged with your swim charge fins.

Before my awesome suggestion you could recharge an ion cube by swimming 15 seconds.

[carmine bobcat]

So you can depleet the 300000 energy of the cubes?

[bold monolith]

If you use the tether tool, yes.

[carmine bobcat]

And there is no way to recharge them?

[bold monolith]

You can swim 10,000 years with the swim charge fins.

Or you have an exploit.

[carmine bobcat]

Or are there Infinite Ion Cubes again?

Somewhere I haven‘t been to?

[bold monolith]

No, but you can exploit the recyclotron.

[deep kettle]

[carmine bobcat]

In what form can you exploit this thing?

Also, can I find more than 6 Cubes?

[bold monolith]

You can find between 45 and 93 ion cubes.

These numbers come from my awesome mathematic knowledge.

[carmine bobcat]

I see

[bold monolith]

Addition.

Ie: you can find a bunch of drillable nodes as well and I calculated that depending on your luck you can have 93 maximum.

[eternal garnet]

requires prawn drill

[carmine bobcat]

Where? General direction/s?

[eternal garnet]

the piles are all north of the ice bridge

I got a map if you like

[carmine bobcat]

Yes please

[deep kettle]

Is there not a fixed number or am I misunderstanding your message?

[eternal garnet]

3 + 1 piles in 2 locations

[eternal garnet]

yes but the mining results is random

[deep kettle]

Oh.. The big piles.

[bold monolith]

Number of drillable nodes * number of times they break * 1 to 3 depending on your RNG each time they're broken.

[oak geyser]

I need to find a way to navigate the new area behind the bridge i am so confused by it

[deep kettle]

Beacons, beacons everywhere!

😄

[eternal garnet]

the map, spoilered just above

[carmine bobcat]

I will be making an excursion in the new powered prawn to get power to power the L O N G Seatruck

[eternal garnet]

I should mention, one pile is in the ||arctic spires cache||

[oak geyser]

I wonder if you can strap a seatruck with all the modules onto a seatruck with the docking module so on so forth

[eternal garnet]

no...

[oak geyser]

😦

But it would be fun if you could

[cosmic jolt]

should i be woried or

[eternal garnet]

you'll live. repair immediately, don't drive off first

[cosmic jolt]

alr

[eternal garnet]

I mean, after an attack

[cosmic jolt]

hes just chillin rn

what attack

[eternal garnet]

I dunno. Just someone saying hi

[cosmic jolt]

A

i am scared to unpause

[eternal garnet]

When you visit the "pilot", look for an item dropped on the floor for you

[deep kettle]

You'll be fine. It shouldn't be able to destroy your seatruck.

[cosmic jolt]

alr

[eternal garnet]

it can, if you don't repair immediately

[deep kettle]

As in, that hit they are about to take.

My bad 😛

[bold monolith]

I remember calculating this. If the numbers are the same it won't break it anytime soon.

[carmine bobcat]

Question, did I go over the wrong bridge?

[eternal garnet]

no

[carmine bobcat]

Ok, I‘m scared

[cosmic jolt]

okay now what is that

[eternal garnet]

friendly whale (go ride its head!) and a brute shark

biome: lilypads

[cosmic jolt]

oh okay so basicly they are reef backs

[eternal garnet]

better

[cosmic jolt]

i completed the first g ame but the second is too diffrent for stuff from the first game to help

[eternal garnet]

well, you don't even need to play the first game to do well here

[cosmic jolt]

okay now this guy is annoying me im tryna go to pilots last location but

this guy keeps camping me and i cant go down with my sea truck cuz of deapth

[eternal garnet]

I recommend: upgrade truck to Mk1 depth before going pilot

[cosmic jolt]

i rammed into him so he ran off

lets go

i got gel sacks

[carmine bobcat]

It annihalated the Prawn, ||80|| health lost, what the HELL is it?

[eternal garnet]

You did not repair. Load save

it's a squid shark

[cosmic jolt]

wait subnautica below zero has a prawn?

[eternal garnet]

Why repair immediately, except me saying so? Attacks have a cooldown. You are safe for x seconds

[bold monolith]

80HP?

[carmine bobcat]

I‘m talking about the ||thing that came out of the ground||

[eternal garnet]

no such thing..

that's several attacks

[steel shoal]

It's beautiful

[carmine bobcat]

Yes, but I want to keep my fully upgraded Mech Suit

[cosmic jolt]

wydm mech suit

[carmine bobcat]

Prawn

[eternal garnet]

no caps

[cosmic jolt]

theres one in below zero??

[eternal garnet]

yes. it's also a little better

[cosmic jolt]

didnt know what

[bold monolith]

Debatable.

[cosmic jolt]

i complety forgot thats theres alot of land in below zero

[steel shoal]

It sounds very machine-y

[carmine bobcat]

Can you scan IT?

[steel shoal]

Good luck

[eternal garnet]

not that one. There's a dead one up north-east to scan

in the bone area

[steel shoal]

Actually ||you can't interact with it||

[steel shoal]

:(

The spoilers thooo

It'd be fun to find it by accident

[cosmic jolt]

why does he have glowing red stuff

[eternal garnet]

he likes to be pretty

[eternal garnet]

swimming jack septiceye logos

[cosmic jolt]

[eternal garnet]

it divides the glacial region in south / north. Making you explore south first. Do so

[cosmic jolt]

[eternal garnet]

park, walk west you soon get a beacon

Ah no compass

[cosmic jolt]

[eternal garnet]

[cosmic jolt]

i alr got a thermos

[eternal garnet]

... no.

[steel shoal]

Of course it didn't :/

[cosmic jolt]

nvm i messed the mu p

oh.

im missing a single jack sack

[steel shoal]

You shouldn't kill anything, nothing drops anything

Edible fish are exceptions I guess

[left marsh]

Except cryptosuchus. Literraly an underwater rat 😭

[steel shoal]

Skill issue

They're super easy to avoid

[proud idol]

cant save the game, anyone know why?

[cosmic jolt]

ye idk what this is

[eternal garnet]

possibly hardcore? Can you never save?

[steel shoal]

Unpause, get up and try again

[carmine bobcat]

Yay! Found || pieces of dead Alan dude || and this! Is here anything else?

[left marsh]

Nah hardcore says save and quit

[proud idol]

im not in hardcore

[steel shoal]

It's the ||Phi Robotics Landing Pad||

[proud idol]

every time i pause to tryand save the save button is darkened out

[cosmic jolt]

what it do

[left marsh]

Yout on the border between purple vents and thermal spires right?

[cosmic jolt]

ik thats the name but what does it do

like what i need to do with it

[steel shoal]

Look around and find out

[eternal garnet]

Like always: Explore. Find a wall map, scan it

[proud idol]

yes

[left marsh]

I’m not sure what the issue might be. What device you playing on?

[proud idol]

pc'

[steel shoal]

This might be the issue

[proud idol]

ive done that

[steel shoal]

The game doesn't let you save when you're in the middle of interactions

[eternal garnet]

it might be already trying to save

but that should be on screen, top left

I see no interaction

[proud idol]

yeah im very confused on whats happening

[left marsh]

Play for 12 hours straight to beat the game the

[eternal garnet]

I don't know, exit truck, try

[cosmic jolt]

bruh how i move this

[proud idol]

done that too

[left marsh]

Have u tried returning to base and saving?

Long but a chance it might work

[eternal garnet]

propulsion cannon. It's only some goodies, not required

[carmine bobcat]

Did this thing just decide to die or did something kill it?

[cosmic jolt]

alr

[proud idol]

thats the issue, i cant save the game anywhere

not in my base and not anywhere else

[eternal garnet]

Technically, it's there to scan. but everything dies

[steel shoal]

It doesn't have a health bar

Oh wait you meant the

The PDA explains it

[proud idol]

i restarted my pc and it works now

yippie

[eternal garnet]

Weird. Well, save every 15 min

[left marsh]

Interesting bug though

[carmine bobcat]

Not really

[steel shoal]

Scan the bones too

[carmine bobcat]

… guess I need to go back

It dug itself to death?

[carmine bobcat]

I could be understanding something wrong, but it doesn‘t tell me anything about the death of this creature

[cosmic jolt]

why is bro looking at me like that

he calm now

[eternal garnet]

let me translarte

let me bite let me bite let me bite let me bite let me bite let me bite just once

[carmine bobcat]

I‘m out of lithium again… are there any large outcrops of them?

[west mountain]

No only single pieces

[cosmic jolt]

OML

my screen was fully black before i went into my sea truck

[eternal garnet]

don't give up, you have 8 seconds spare after 0

[molten siren]

I was listening to a song and I saw this, does anyone know what this is?

[eternal garnet]

that's the delta parcel rocket, from the old story. the spot is now a radio tower

[molten siren]

oh, so they scrapped it?

[eternal garnet]

yes. it was short range, sending items to the orbiting station Vesper, which you can still see in the intro

[carmine bobcat]

I‘m worried about two things here, the chelicerate isn‘t one of them

[molten siren]

German words are so long lmao

[carmine bobcat]

We are doing our best

[molten siren]

Wait, so then what was the Mercury II?

[eternal garnet]

Mercury II has been rusting for at least 30, maybe 100 years

well before even Degasi

[molten siren]

what?

Mercury II was before Degasi base?

Because I'm pretty sure it was Degasi, Aurora then Mercury II

[carmine bobcat]

Look at the mercuries wreck parts, that thing was down there for YEARS

[eternal garnet]

nah Mercury II is oldest by far

[molten siren]

Older than Aurora and Degasi?

[eternal garnet]

definitely

We know the timeline for Aurora and Degasi

Aurora: 2 years ago, Degasi 12 years ago (or was it 10)

[molten siren]

What about mercury II?

[eternal garnet]

I don't think it says, but the rust and algae say at least 30 years

[molten siren]

How many Mercury II logs are there in total?

[sour plover]

Guys I just downloaded the game

any spoiler free tips before I start

[eternal garnet]

Save often. Explore everything. This game is about exploration. Sea monkeys may annoy you a lot; just hide your tool (PC: press E). Bring a beacon everywhere. New beacon feature: if you have one and die, it will rename and drop.
The air bladder is now really good. Pin recipes you plan to make.
Have fun. Spoiler free starter guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-GhqzEfMOA

[sour plover]

thank you so much

[west mountain]

And take your time to explore and admire the beautiful biomes. There is absolutely no rush in the game except for O2

[sour plover]

i have finished the original subnautica

is this game harder, better?

[left marsh]

Original longer scarier and in my opinion better

BZ is good but doesnt have the same feel. It looks awesome though

[cosmic jolt]

what the hell is that

now im scared after seeing the ||worm||

[steel stream]

Meatie's beginner tips is missing one crucial tip: read pda entried after scanning stuff (or whenever you get a new pda entry)

[sour plover]

really? i heard that bz has scarier leviathans

Investigate the death of your sister?

man this pda is worse

what the hell is xenowork

[proud idol]

just got attackted by an animation less shadow

t posed towards me and began eating me

[sour plover]

dude is this game before or after the original subnatuica

[molten siren]

What monster are you talking about?

[molten siren]

After.

[carmine bobcat]

You can find a something that will answer your question

a PDA

[sour plover]

I read the entire pda and it wasn't clear

[proud idol]

shadow leviathan

[carmine bobcat]

You can find something

[sour plover]

they don't mention the aliens of the original subnautica at all

[proud idol]

his animations didnt like animate for some reason lol

[sour plover]

when?

early game, mid game, late game?

[carmine bobcat]

Early, in a cave

[eternal garnet]

Bit more info: Did you come across a distress call? A SOS signal

[sour plover]

no

all I know is I have to find a radio station

"Impossible to miss"

[eternal garnet]

radio station? There is a tower

[sour plover]

yeah the radio tower

the thing which has the information

I don't understand how robin is landing on an alien planet alone with no equipment

probably gonna end in the same stomach as her sister

[eternal garnet]

Planning isn't her strong point

[sour plover]

I think her sister got eaten by a leviathan

[steel shoal]

You think wrong, she died in an accident, you get this info when you get to the lifepod for the first time

[sour plover]

man you just spoiled it for me :(

[steel shoal]

Spoiled?

It's also in the opening sequence

[sour plover]

you spoiled the cause of death

[eternal garnet]

Anyway, the distress call that is in twisty bridges deeper part, is very important to find

[sour plover]

ok

I will get a seaglide and go there

[eternal garnet]

For discord help, a compass helps

[steel shoal]

Read the PDA

[sour plover]

ok I will make that too

[steel shoal]

It's like saying repair tool is a spoiler, even though it's available since the start of the game

[sour plover]

this pda is uglier than the original

it looks very rusty

and old

the original pda was more futuristic

[steel shoal]

It doesn't look old, but it looks cheap. That was the point.

[sour plover]

Is xenoworks just the smaller version of alterra

[next current]

It was a small company that was bought out by Alterra. It's now an Alterra Initiative.

[eternal garnet]

this is good, we can now blame Alterra

[sour plover]

ok

also is robin paying for the pod and shuttle she destroyed

[steel shoal]

Is it a bad thing? Xeno seemed very... not up to date

[sour plover]

this seemed more like a personal mission

[steel shoal]

Slicey knows it better

Say the thing, Ghost!

[next current]

Don't worry, the funds will automatically be taken out of her next paycheck.

[sour plover]

alright

thought she had to pay upfront

[next current]

Given that it's yellow in the beginning of the game, I think it's a company vehicle.

[sour plover]

yes but I don't think the company wanted to her to do that

its like working at supermarket then eating the food in it

[next current]

Yeah that's fair.

[steel shoal]

Instead of paying it, the company will deduce the costs from your next paycheck, or fire you and ask you to pay for it

[sour plover]

Her mission is for personal benefit not for company benefit
