below-zero-chat

[cold mountain]

but now I deconstructed it and constructed it again and now it works, so

[elder crypt]

hey guys i just started subnautica below zero for the first time rn is the screen supposed to be black at the begining

i just hear a siren and see a black screen

[steel shoal]

What platform are you on?

[elder crypt]

is this normal

[elder crypt]

pc

[steel shoal]

Which store?

[elder crypt]

why the heck is slowmo on with this dead server

[elder crypt]

steam

[steel shoal]

It's late for Americans and Europeans, everyone's asleep

[chrome cedar]

Also the holiday

[elder crypt]

only 10 pm for me in florida

[elder crypt]

oh yea that makes sence i forgor it was christmas

anyways should i restart game ive been staring at this black screen while hearing a siren for like 15 minute

[chrome cedar]

It’s there because we occasionally get spam bots trying to flood the channels and this keeps it under control.

[steel shoal]

I suppose you've already been through #🔧sn1-bz-tech-support

[next current]

Can confirm.

[chrome cedar]

There isn’t a siren in the intro, not sure what that is about.

[elder crypt]

erm havent tried that

[elder crypt]

wha

i restarted game if this doesnt work ig im going to tech support

i fixed the problem also there is a siren in the begginging so

[tough oak]

wrong chat lol

[manic mantle]

subnautica or BZ

[stable fossil]

can i get my trivalve inside my base like cuddlefish in subnautica?

[steel stream]

Glitching through walls yes, normally no (so same as with cuddlefish)

[stable fossil]

i tried with the moonpool but it seems they made it so it phisically cant, is there a video showing how to wall glitch to do it?atleast an easier method than what j tried, i know i need to pet it but i cant get it to get close to the base

[steel stream]

I think the moonpool doesn't work in the first game anymore either...

[stable fossil]

it does atleast in the ps5 version

[steel stream]

Didn't work on PS4 couple of weeks ago🤷‍♂️

[stable fossil]

must be a ps4 thing i suppose

[deft fulcrum]

Man I'm excited for the next game as someone with thalassaphobia subnautica games are the only game that are worth being being brave towards my biggest fear lol

[pure marlin]

what do i do after finding the southern chick

[fluid flame]

uhh u mean ||the one who lives in lilypads?||

[keen mural]

got BZ today
this is enlightening

[keen mural]

Is it possible to put jukeboxes in the seatruck somehow

[fluid flame]

I'm starting to like this

[fluid flame]

yeah but u need a sleeper module (found in purple vents)

[keen mural]

Okie
Good to know

[jaunty barn]

Guys... can someone help me with a bug... please? It's been a few days and I've tried posting it on Reddit but nobody seems to know what it is :(

[fluid flame]

I probably won't be able to help, but what is it?

[jaunty barn]

I'll send a video of the bug and I'll try to explain it.

After I began building my base, I started noticing that the world was glitching out... I know that a lot of people said "just ignore it" but the glitching starts to be so repetitive and it keeps on happening that it lags my game a lot and it also becomes really annoying

[fluid flame]

hmm

[jaunty barn]

I have tried re-installing the game, deleting my save files from the xbox, making a new world - nothing. The glitch still occurs

[fluid flame]

what xbox r u on

[jaunty barn]

Series X

[fluid flame]

have you seen this happen to anyone else

[jaunty barn]

No, nobody was even talking about it on the internet

[fluid flame]

well, I suppose the only thing you can do is report the bug to the devs and hope for the best

maybe you could play around with the settings a bit to see if somethings fixes it

it looks to be an issue with textures

[jaunty barn]

Yeah, I have reported it and regarding the settings - I don't have many changes to make since I'm on xbox. There's only the gamma correction and the choice between quality or framerate

[eternal garnet]

I'm experienced with tech issues. That looks like hardware. Best case it's just overheating. How long since a fan clean?

Never?

[jaunty barn]

I have a G-Story cooling fan which I'm using daily

But answering to the cleaning question - I never cleaned the fan because I'm scared of breaking the xbox

[eternal garnet]

yesbut, cleaning using like canned air?

[jaunty barn]

Hm... I didn't try that

[eternal garnet]

the thing is, just like a laptop, dust accumulates and it gets worse over time. slowly

[fluid flame]

I'd say you're more likely to break it by not cleaning it than by cleaning it (the proper way obviously)

[jaunty barn]

You're correct... yeah

[eternal garnet]

Symptoms to check: The issue gets worse over 5-15 min of playtime. The air exiting the vent is Really Hot

How to use canned air. Don't use a garage compressor!!!
Turn off. Blow into the exhaust vents. Expect a lot of dust, so maybe outside. Done

[fluid flame]

Now that i think about it i dont think i have ever cleaned my ps4

[eternal garnet]

Buy it at places like Staples, office supplies

[jaunty barn]

Yeah... the textures do get really glitchy after minutes of playing, but if I remove the fan I'm sure the air exiting the vent will be hot... really hot.

Hm... I'll try that

I'm a bit worried tho, I really hope I won't break it...
So, I basically have to just blow the air into the exhaust vents?

[eternal garnet]

yes, so it goes backards out the intake

Better: dissasembly, but this is complicated

Canned air does really well usually

[jaunty barn]

Alright... I'm sorry if I'll be annoying and if I'll be sounding weird but... the exhaust vents are the vents next to the hdmi and usb ports?

[eternal garnet]

its where the hot air usually comes out

[jaunty barn]

Oh, so basically the top of the xbox.

[eternal garnet]

I don't know this model but I will have a look. Xbox X?

[jaunty barn]

Yeah, not to be confused with One X though.

[eternal garnet]

Hmmm. Most guides want you to open the case. The main heatsink is the most important part. Here. Maybe you can aim the air on it from the case holes.
Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2t2q68Rt-o

If you would open it, i'd not bother removing the fan

[jaunty barn]

I’ll watch the video. Thank you! I’ll come with an update as soon as I tried the steps

I think I’ll open it, just to make sure

[eternal garnet]

the back case is just 2 screws, but they are torx

a thin layer of dust on the fan is fiiine. Youll find a mattress of dust on the heatsink. that's the issue

[jaunty barn]

No worries, even as a teenager I got my dad which is shining in those kind of things, haha.

[eternal garnet]

ok, good

If you open it, you also don't need canned air

Though it helps

[jaunty barn]

Ah, I see.

Alright then! Thank you so much! I’ll try and come back with an update.

[eternal garnet]

Another symptom to check: other 3D heavy games also have this issue

After it warms up

[jaunty barn]

I’ll also test that and see, though I haven’t paid attention…

[jaunty barn]

I'll try to take it off

[eternal garnet]

That's a lot less than expected

[jaunty barn]

I know...

I'll clean it up then boot up the game.

[eternal garnet]

It's basically clean, so dust is not the issue I think

[jaunty barn]

Yeah, probably... I'll try to clear the cache and maybe even re-install the game.

Or maybe reset my Xbox? I don't know, I'll try all of them.

[eternal garnet]

it looks like hardware, still

maybe the fan isn't healthy. If so, typically they are noisy, and not just wind noise

[jaunty barn]

No, I don't think it's the fan :/

I'll try to boot up the game now, maybe, just maybe something changed now that I cleared the cache

[graceful monolith]

why does the thermos give you -h2o?

I mean isnt it basically coffee? Shouldn't it give you more h2o?

[steel shoal]

I dunno, it's too little to make a difference

[white hedge]

Does coffee give h20?

[eternal garnet]

no. Reverse.

[white hedge]

Because in real life coffee is makes you dehydrated, idk if they transferred it to game

[graceful monolith]

also how do I get the ||arhitect artifact coordinates from the alien? ||

[steel shoal]

Also, have you noticed how when Robin drinks from a thermo, she loses H2O, but when Ryley drinks from a mug, he gains some? He also has crunching sounds, while Robin only drinks. I like to think that the H2O comes from the mug - Robin does not eat the mug, but Ryley does.

[white hedge]

Big brain, EAT to survive

[steel shoal]

om nom nom 🍺

[graceful monolith]

nevermind, and if anyone is looking for the answer, you just have to wait

[fluid flame]

guys what should I use to power up my base (slowly progressing into mid game atm)

excluding thermal reactors

[graceful monolith]

I found an ||alien base with plants|| is there anything else in this place or should I leave?

[fluid flame]

in the ||cotton place||?

[graceful monolith]

i think, with ||the big pink ish mushrooms||

[fluid flame]

there is a ||skeleton|| on the ground make sure u scan that

[graceful monolith]

oh where exactly?

[fluid flame]

near the center

of the place

[graceful monolith]

alright thanks

so, near the center of the place that's 600m down?

or the 500m place

[fluid flame]

I don't know about any 500m place

i think the 600m one

there is some water thingy in the middle

and the ||skeleton|| in front of it in the ground

it was something like this

[graceful monolith]

theres a ||shark ||where im at right now near the ||plant alien thing||

[fluid flame]

thats how the alien structure im talking about looks like from the inside

[graceful monolith]

oooooh

I get it now thanks

[jaunty barn]

Sorry for changing the subject - after fabric resetting my xbox, the glitch still occurs. I guess there's simply nothing to do. I have even tried on a different account playing. It still happens. On the first game, Subnautica, the glitch doesn't happen. I really don't know what to do :(

[eternal garnet]

In general options, is there a FPS limit? Try that, with maybe 30 or 40

[jaunty barn]

There is no fps limit in general options, but if I go to graphics I have the preset which allows me to choose between high framerate and high quality

[eternal garnet]

how about Vsync? check general and video

Vsync is an FPS limiter set to the video refresh rate

[jaunty barn]

There aren't sadly such options on xbox. Only for PC I think

[eternal garnet]

yes PC has both of those

They keep the GPU cooler

[jaunty barn]

I guess I really am just unlucky :/

I don't have a PC so I can't play on it. I really don't know what else to do

[eternal garnet]

It should really be fine on that box

[jaunty barn]

What do you mean?

[eternal garnet]

It should not happen. And obviously there are many that play it on Xbox X

[jaunty barn]

Yeah…

Could it be the HDR Game Calibration settings? I literally have no clue I’m just trying every single thing out here

[deep kettle]

You could also try using a different cable between your xbox and your screen to see if that isn't the issue.

[jaunty barn]

I’ll try

I’ll come with an update soon. I’ll be right back

[deep kettle]

Take your time 😛

[fluid flame]

how many parts is the ||mercury II's wreck|| divided to?

[eternal garnet]

three

[deep kettle]

It does seem like you're not the only person with the issue though, Artheko.

[fluid flame]

I think I've seen all of them, although i didnt explore the smallest one yet because i didnt have space in my inventory at the time i found it

[jaunty barn]

Really?

I did try looking for the site

But I found only the one for the original Subnautica

[deep kettle]

I wasn't able to find a whole lot of people but there are some.

[jaunty barn]

I think I can find myself there too, haha.

[deep kettle]

If you remember the text you definitely can yeah 🙂

[jaunty barn]

I remember the date

[deep kettle]

https://snexpansion.unknownworlds.com/feedback/tickets

[eternal garnet]

SN expansion lol

[deep kettle]

😄

[jaunty barn]

Haha! I found myself

Right, I plugged in the other hdmi cable, let’s see if the textures are still glitching

Okay, seems like the glitch still occurs.

[deep kettle]

Then I'm not quite sure either 😦

It seems like an issue in the game or/and with xbox though. There are absolutely others with the issue, not a whole lot but some, but I don't see an immediate link why it would happen. Here are some of those reports.

Although the first one is yours 😛

[fluid flame]

bro im gonna literally die of a heart attack

i am chilling looking for sleeper module frags

i look up and see a 40 meter long shrimp

[jaunty barn]

I didn’t know I’m using an Xbox one GPU… whaaat?

[deep kettle]

I don't think that info is quite right in the reports.

[jaunty barn]

No worries - that is not the big issue. Maybe if I just keep on playing it’ll stop.

Or if there’s any other idea I could try, I would love to do it

[deep kettle]

The only thing I can think of is trying different graphic settings and modes to see if one of those does work. I kind of doubt after seeing those other reports it's specifically your hardware or setup though.

Maybe a certain combination of settings causes the issue but it's difficult to say 😅

[jaunty barn]

I tried the “Higher Quality” preset and… the flashes were still there but in a better… “manner”

Since I’m on Xbox, I don’t have a lot of options to change regarding the graphics

[fluid flame]

From now on I hate shrimps.

[deep kettle]

Poor shrimps.

[fluid flame]

bro I was just trying to get a sleeper module 😭

great now 3/4 of my health is gone

[deep kettle]

One option you could also try is grabbing a PC or laptop if you happen to have one and see if the issue is there as well. You should be able to just download the game from the Microsoft store if you already own it on xbox. Other then that I'm out of ideas as well 😦

[jaunty barn]

I have a physical copy of it, I don’t think I’ll have it bought on the store

I’ll just keep on playing the game, even with glitches or not, I still love it :D

[fluid flame]

unsure but i think i just saw a lighting hit my base lol

[tacit tangle]

what’s the best monitor i can get from walmart for 140$?

[eternal garnet]

that's so off topic

[tacit tangle]

i’m using it to play subnautica

also like chat hasn’t been dead for over an hour

[eternal garnet]

it's OK to be a little bit dead

[fluid flame]

a little bit

what is some good fuel for a bioreactor?

[eternal garnet]

fevered peppers growing next to it, ribbon plants, peeper fish

[fluid flame]

can u make ribbon plants grow in your place? I'm guessing that no

base*

[eternal garnet]

outside, or in the containment

containment would not be very convenient

[fluid flame]

alright

[eternal garnet]

the root pustules are really good, but store 2 for later. They do not regrow

In case they are close to you

[fluid flame]

I kinda like how the pda has gained conciousness in this game

[fervent bloom]

Frost anemone hearts cannot be grown in a base, but they are fairly good and they regrow.

[eternal garnet]

ah the green elephant feet

[fluid flame]

ill pass especially that i currently have my base in lilypads

[fervent bloom]

Frost anemones can be found surprisingly close, but it still probably isn't worth the effort.

[cold mountain]

It has an accent now too, but I don‘t know what accent, it sounds so different from first game PDA

[eternal garnet]

it's a posh india accent

[cold mountain]

But why does the PDA have an accent now?

[fervent bloom]

It is a Xenoworx PDA rather than an Alterra one.

[eternal garnet]

it was picked especially to annoy you personally

[cold mountain]

Makes sense

[fluid flame]

I guess stripping personality from the pda was one of Alterra's ways to make it superior to the Xenoworks one

why is there so many shrimps in this game??

[next current]

There's 4.

[fluid flame]

Well I've already met 3 or maybe even 4

the one from purple vents even bit me

they seem to be fond of architect crap as well

[fluid flame]

little bro got lost 💀

[fluid flame]

for some reason the light is glitching out in my T compartments

anyone else has the same problem?

[chrome cedar]

The Alterra PDA has a lot more snark in it.

[fluid flame]

Isn't it the other way around?

Tbh I haven't played subnautica in so long I've forgotten by now

[next current]

It's always good to see another chad gamer using the Air Bladder.

[fervent bloom]

I would use it, save for the fact that a bladderfish must give its life...

[fluid flame]

I've got to say it saved me on a lot of occasions, especially when I was exploring deep lilypads

[next current]

A worthy sacrifice.

[fluid flame]

here's my base so far

and the top

[fervent bloom]

What happens if you use the Recyclotron on an air bladder? Does the bladderfish escape unharmed?

[fervent bloom]

It looks wonderful! There's a chance that you might get better efficiency for those panels above the surface, but you're close enough that I'm guessing you get 100%.

[fluid flame]

yeah for og subnautica its 100% for 16m or above or smth like that

I wanted to put it on the multipurpose room above water but cant reach the top

maybe when i get a prawn suit

[fervent bloom]

I've got 99% at around 16 meters in the Twisty Bridges.

Just so you know, you can put them beside a room and get power to it without power transmitters.

[fluid flame]

ik but it looks mid imo

[steel stream]

Oh, something worth testing

[fervent bloom]

Okay, that's fair.

In general, testing the Recyclotron on various items that require fish to craft could be a good idea.

[fluid flame]

could you uncook a fish?

[steel stream]

Continuing that thought: could you get live peeper by putting cooked or cured peeper in recyclotron?

[fervent bloom]

That's exactly what I was thinking. What about for filtered water?

[steel stream]

Or large filtered water from water filter machine: would it give water purification tablet and snowball?

[fluid flame]

ok how the hell do i acces the seatruck upgrades while it is in the docking bay

[next current]

Iirc you're unable to do so because that'd be silly.

[steel stream]

You don't

[fluid flame]

very cool

[fervent bloom]

This is the kind of thing where it shouldn't work, but I'm not sure if it would.

[steel stream]

But it recharges and repairs, and you can access the modules🤷‍♂️

[fluid flame]

aight got depth module mk2

should I get the afterburner upgrade

in case i get assaulted by a shrimp or something

[fervent bloom]

That will get you very far.

In my opinion, the afterburner upgrade is less useful for escape and more for increasing your overall speed, if you have plenty of power cells and/or can charge them.

[fluid flame]

that was the intention

How do I remove this???

[fervent bloom]

Unfortunately, you need to deconstruct the large room.

[fluid flame]

bro it would take me 30 minutes to do that AT LEAST

i guess 9 mins of my save go bye bye

[fervent bloom]

Placing them directly under rooms is almost never a good idea.

[fluid flame]

i wanted to get rid of some floating supports that appeared because there was a whale under the large room when i was constructing it

what now theyre gone after reloading the save

[fervent bloom]

That's convenient!

[fluid flame]

why the heck does this game consider whale a foundation for a base

[steel stream]

Ok, my curiosity made me test it, and neither air bladder, cured peeper or large filtered water can be put in recyclotron. Salad worked though

[fervent bloom]

That would make sense; I believe none of those use limited resources, anyway.

[graceful monolith]

How much time after the original game does below zero take place?

[fluid flame]

imagine ||alan's|| reaction when he sees what are the "curious thoughts" of humans

[fluid flame]

dang i have literally asked myself the same question today

[fervent bloom]

It's around two years later, I believe.

[steel stream]

About 2 years

[fluid flame]

ok got the depth module mk2 again

hm should i get swim charge fins

[stable fossil]

my trivalve went close to my base but i couldnt pet it to wall glitch, im in ps5 guess this version patched it and you cant fet trivalves in base unless you spawn them

[fervent bloom]

I know something similar could happen to the cuddlefish, but I never heard of it happening with a trivalve.

[stable fossil]

my base is in a safe place though, no predators unless they go deep and find the brute sharks, byt theyre just swimming close to the farm, unless pengwings harm them

[fluid flame]

what's a trivalve

actually nvm i want to find out myself

[fervent bloom]

Okay, I bet you'll like it.

[stable fossil]

yeah! weird thing though, in ps5 subnautica you can do it, its weird, it feels like below zero is a more polished port for ps5 rather than the first game, in below zero in the ps5 menu it has a custom song, and it uses the adaptive triggers, while subnautica has the default song and doesnt use them at all

[fluid flame]

I can already tell its similar to the cuddlefish (I had like 4 or 5 in my SB playthrough)

[fluid flame]

?

[fervent bloom]

This is a correct analysis; I won't say more, but they certainly have different appearances and abilities.

[stable fossil]

wow really? i thought they were the same as cuddle fish, besides the (Dont click the text to not get spoilered) || besides the fact they can stand on land ||

[fervent bloom]

I don't find it necessary, especially since I believe you don't get any speed benefit compared to not wearing fins, but if you like the Seaglide it's not a bad idea.

[fervent bloom]

The latter is mostly what I was referencing, but they are ||a little less obviously cute||, and more ||endearingly strange||.

[fluid flame]

honestly ill get it cuz its cheap

[stable fossil]

also for fun awhile ago i spawned a pengling in a large room, not in containment but in the room, he hasnt grown yet, but he just swims all through the room

[fervent bloom]

They'll walk properly if you do the same in a room above water.

[stable fossil]

ooo ill do that

[fervent bloom]

It works the same with anything else that can walk (including pinnacarids), but for snow stalkers you need to make sure it is an area where they naturally occur, or they will not be able to move properly.

[stable fossil]

i was stupid and picked it up instead of moving it to the area so i cant drop it in the base now:( , any way to drop it?

[fervent bloom]

No - you need to spawn it inside.

[stable fossil]

im gonna feel bad if i have to replace it, it was born in my base and everything

alright, ill keep it in my jnventory

[fervent bloom]

Penglings can be placed in aquariums...

[stable fossil]

i know, but i dont want them ti grow up and i also want it to walk

[fervent bloom]

Well, they won't grow up in an aquarium (as opposed to an alien containment unit), but you need to spawn one with console commands in a base above water for it to walk.

[cold mountain]

Do large lead deposits exist and if yes, where?

[fervent bloom]

This game has none, for unknown reasons.

[fluid flame]

okay lead is officially the hardest resource to obtain in this game

[cold mountain]

Oh lord

why, adding ruby and diamond but not lead or lithium

[fluid flame]

u can get a bunch of lithium from purple vents so its fine

but lead is a pain

[fervent bloom]

They also took out salt, nickel and uraninite as large resource deposits.

[fluid flame]

Alright time to ||override delta tower||

[cold mountain]

I mean, I can understand salt, never needed any large deposits, but anything else?

[fervent bloom]

I can see how nickel is pretty unnecessary as well.

[cold mountain]

You need how many minimum for the game? 5?

[fervent bloom]

It's something along those lines. Perhaps if you regularly lose your Seatruck to ||shadow leviathans||, it's useful.

[cold mountain]

Fun Fact: I‘ve never lost a vehicle once, the Seamoth, Prawn and Cyclops in normal Subnautica are their first versions, just like I never lost a vehicle in this game

[fluid flame]

Tbh I think same

[cold mountain]

I‘m going through hell rn just to get three pieces of lead please game I have 5 lockers full of Titanium

[left marsh]

More titanium?

[left marsh]

I lost a seamoth to a reaper bandit. Took 5 diamonds with it lmao

[fluid flame]

Any tips on avoiding the ||chelicerate|| above the ||inactive volcano?||

[cold mountain]

yes

now I only need two more

[cold mountain]

Prawn? Truck? Which vehicle you be using?

[fluid flame]

truck, didnt build prawn yet

[left marsh]

Walk straight into. Blast woth periemter defense

It runs for a bit

Dont get stuck in the jumpscare animation

[cold mountain]

Perimeter is great

[fluid flame]

where are the blueprints for that? 🙂

[left marsh]

Pop the defense when its next to u

[cold mountain]

Her Seabase

[left marsh]

You get the actualy upgrade from ||maida||

Its on the floor i think?

[fluid flame]

the part unaccesible on the first visit yes?

[left marsh]

No

||Its in the room with rreaper skul||

Its such a great upgrade

You’ve been missing out

[fluid flame]

huh? i thought i got everything from there

[left marsh]

Its on the floor. Hard to spot but im jus colour blind

[cold mountain]

I thought that too

It‘s really, really, really hard to spot

[left marsh]

Also if u dont already have it, get afterburner and horsepower

Rly good cos seatruck gets slow later on

[fluid flame]

got that already

[left marsh]

Good job. Just make sure u dont drive seatruck into modules with afterburner

I did thay and broke 3 of my modules

[fluid flame]

Its on the CARPET

[left marsh]

Ye that makes it rly annoying to get

[fluid flame]

I'll check out rest of the base while Im at it

should i get some nickel/kyanite from crystal caves while at it

ok maybe tomorrow i need some sleep rn

[cold mountain]

Finally, I got three lead

[fluid flame]

👏

Guys when should I go explore ||Phi Robotics|| and ||Outpost Zero||, and which one first?

Or should I just go to the ||alien artifact|| beacon that popped up near that area?

[cold mountain]

||Outpost Zero||, it‘s the easist one to get to and has a lot of lore and collectibles

[chrome cedar]

Agreed, not for the collectibles but for base parts, an important plant, etc. collectibles can be grabbed later.

Also much closer when starting out.

[left marsh]

Collectivles beat part

[cold mountain]

I just watched a || Spiky Trap || eat an Lilipaddler

I feel bad for him

[left marsh]

They eat other things too. Ive sen one eat a sea monkey

[cold mountain]

Who allowed them to do this?

[left marsh]

Idk. Kinda amusing to watch the way it drags them in tho 👀

[cold mountain]

It looks horrible!

[left marsh]

I may or may not enjoy it

[steel shoal]

I cried on stream when I saw it happen </3

[left marsh]

Damn

Ifk i though it was funny

[cold mountain]

The poor thing, it just gets grabbed and everything is over

[fervent bloom]

I know, it's awful.

I was testing the spikey trap's abilities in Creative, and it can also consume pengwings, pinnacarids, arctic rays, brinewings, and eye jellies...

[cold mountain]

Why did they make this thing so deadly to other fauna?

[fervent bloom]

I'm not sure, but it's a good way to make it seem absolutely horrifying.

[cold mountain]

I guess, if it‘s because of that purpose they absolitely nailed it

Wait, Eye Jellies? Also the massive ones?

[fervent bloom]

I only tried it with the smaller versions that are created by spawn jellyfish...

[cold mountain]

I‘d be intresting to see a trap eat something larger than itself lol

It looks absolutely horrifiying, but just the imagination of it eating a Glow Whale is fascinating

[fervent bloom]

I don't know if I tried a brute shark or a cryptosuchus.

I've seen them drag in sea monkeys as well.

[cold mountain]

I don‘t like it, they can stop please

I like seamonkeys and lillipaddler

[fervent bloom]

You can kill spikey traps, I believe, though that's not a great solution. Also, have you got a sea monkey in one of your alien containment units?

[cold mountain]

Yes, three monkeys to be exact

I also tried matching the other biomes

[fervent bloom]

Which did you find the most difficult?

[cold mountain]

Sparse Reef/Iceberg, there is just nothing, how am I supposed to match something? In the end both biomes looked like expanded safe shallows

[fervent bloom]

That is a good point - I suppose you went with pengwings, brinewings, titan holefish, symbiotes, and perhaps pinnacarids...

[cold mountain]

On point

Let me make some pictures so you can see what I tried

[fervent bloom]

Have you got any rock punchers or cryptosuchi?

[cold mountain]

Yes, I got everything no worries

[fervent bloom]

Okay, right. What about trivalves?

[cold mountain]

One Gold, I know where I can find the blue ones but didn‘t collect them yet

There is only one gold right?

[fervent bloom]

There are two gold trivalve eggs, but only one location.

[cold mountain]

Now I‘m confused

[fervent bloom]

Each location has two trivalve eggs there.

[cold mountain]

ok… there was a second one?!

[fervent bloom]

Indeed - there should be a total of two gold and four blue eggs in the game.

[cold mountain]

Then I need to do some deep diving pretty soon to get the second egg

[cold mountain]

Iceberg

Sparse Arctic

Safe Shallows/Kelp Forest

Tree Spires/Purple Vents/Twisty Bridges/Thermal Spires

(need to add fish because I don‘t know what fish to add)

[fervent bloom]

I might suggest red feather fish, feather fish, and the most common species.

All of these tanks look amazing, though I particularly like the Sparse Arctic tank.

[cold mountain]

That one was fun to make, especially getting the eggs of the Eye Jelly

[fervent bloom]

What made that especially fun for you? I'm guessing it's the out-of-the-way location...

[cold mountain]

Exactly, just diving under a whole Iceberg for two eggs, it‘s not even sarcasm, it‘s just cool to swim along those jellyfish

[fervent bloom]

I like that they aren't hidden, per se, just not easily found.

[cold mountain]

And the moment you are at their location, there are just ten or twenty of the eggs just swimming around

Similar to the Titan Holefish

[fervent bloom]

I love exploring those icebergs. Did you find the two hidden chambers?

[cold mountain]

Hidden Chambers? Appearently not, next field trip planned

[fervent bloom]

The PDA mentions a moulin when you come near one... there's a different voice line for the other.

[cold mountain]

Oh you mean them

I got the moulin one

Need to go find the other

[fervent bloom]

Yes; I apologize for any excitement you had, thinking it was something new.

[cold mountain]

I accidentaly ate my only two artic peepers and feather fish instead of releasing them, now what

[fervent bloom]

I guess you can go get more.

[cold mountain]

Yes, but it‘s gonna be a long trip again because I will get distracted from something again

[rustic crypt]

He came back for round 2

[fervent bloom]

In Below Zero, distractions are the best part.

[rustic crypt]

Wait what.

What distractions?

[fervent bloom]

I'm not thinking of anything in particular, but there are a huge number of interesting things to do.

[cold mountain]

The thing is, I don‘t want more than three large fauna of one type in on containment, so I just got a huge amount of spare eggs or hatched creatures

I don‘t know what to do with them

[fervent bloom]

You could release them into the wild. I generally release my fauna after raising them, unless I want to keep them inside.

[cold mountain]

Your kinda right, but a Titan Holefish in the Lilipats looks weird

[fervent bloom]

Couldn't you take it back to where you found the egg?

[cold mountain]

I could, but then I‘d be away for a year trying to find this specific Iceberg again

[fervent bloom]

You could also just release it in the same biome... whatever you want to do is great, though.

[cold mountain]

I guess so, Hostile Creatures that you raised won‘t attack you if you release them, right?

[fervent bloom]

No, they won't. I'm not sure whether creatures that do incidental damage, such as eye jellies, can still hurt you.

[cold mountain]

Icidental Damage? Eye Jellies can hurt you?

[fervent bloom]

The tentacles should do 10 damage with an electrical effect if you brush against them.

[cold mountain]

Never actually tried

You seeing this? I might be crazy, but this is great!

[fervent bloom]

What's on the top?

[cold mountain]

The little cave spore thingys

They spend light and make that the room always has a nice orange lighting

[fervent bloom]

Ah... I've never tried that, though creepvine gives a little reddish light in this game.

[cold mountain]

Yes, thats why I chose them for my early basic containments

Here you go

[fervent bloom]

It looks very cozy - the lantern trees add to the effect nicely.

[cold mountain]

They ver much do, I was happy finding out that they exist here too (in an encloused habitat) because they are my favourite looking plant

[fervent bloom]

They never stood out to me, but as I used them in my bases I grew to like them

[cold mountain]

Their benefits got changed as well, before they gave like 8 food and 3 water now they give 10 food, no water but 70 warmth

[fervent bloom]

I don't think the food value changed, and I believe they give even more heat than that - 75, if I remember correctly.

[warped patio]

so i was heading to the delta station dock (because it just unlocked) and i stumbled upon a giant frost creature, i killed it and can i get its meat for food or anything?

[cold mountain]

Nope, just like the first game, killing has no benefits

[warped patio]

but the cold suit says it needs fur?

[cold mountain]

You can get fur with another method

[warped patio]

how?

[cold mountain]

You know Penglings?

made from metal?

[warped patio]

oh the spy ones, yeah i got that from the base

[cold mountain]

You can collect the fur with those Spy Penglings

[warped patio]

when i get it, do i just say collect fur? or do i have to do something to prompt them getting fur

[cold mountain]

You will find out that you can grab things with it

Grabbing a stalker will result in you collecting fur

[warped patio]

oh cool, thanks for the info!

[warped patio]

Where do you find habitat builder fragments?

[oak geyser]

Near the habitats the best spot is near the high capacity o2 tank In the twisty bridges

[chrome cedar]

Assuming you’ve found that spot. Also the base on ||Delta Island and Outpost Zero|| have scannable ones. Last one is deep in the ||Koppa mine||.

[warped patio]

im at delta island now, i dont see any habitat builder parts?

wait i found it 🙂

[chrome cedar]

Very easy to miss…. 😂

[limber basalt]

Hello

Does anyone know what the canteen is for?

[oak geyser]

I think it stores water

[limber basalt]

Than you

[oak geyser]

Your welcome

To be honest I really don't know what it does

[limber basalt]

Me neither! 😆

[chrome cedar]

Canteen??

[warped patio]

it was i swear im not blind

[chrome cedar]

Many have sworn the same thing. Myself included.

[warped patio]

||my seatruck is only allowed to go 150m but the pilots last known location is deeper than that, is it worth going down there or should i get depth module and come back||

[chrome cedar]

You can seaglide to get a bit deeper, but better to come back once you’ve got some upgrades.

[warped patio]

thanks 🙂

[oak geyser]

I went 400m with the seatruck with no depth module

[chrome cedar]

It will start taking damage below crush depth, I’m not sure how long it takes before it gets crushed totally.

[plush fjord]

BRO

My snow fox just fell through the floor

I am seething

[chrome cedar]

Sadly things can glitch through the ground far too easily sometimes.

You can restore the save but usually no way to get them back.

[keen mural]

why moonpool no go?

I've tried like every position to no avail

it just won't connect

[broken badge]

Is it too close to the seabed? I think it is

I don’t think there’s enough clearance underneath it

Either that, or you need another connecting tube between it and the multipurpose room

Multipurpose rooms usually require connecting tubes between them and other “room” structures

[plush fjord]

I just built a new one because I hadn't saved in like an hour

[wintry void]

Pro tip: Don't build your base in the purple Vents or thermal spires

[oak geyser]

I had that happen and then was too lazy to reload a save because I don't save and didn't wanna build another one and so I went back to my seatruck and took my prawn suit
No regret

[plush fjord]

I just built a new one because it's cheap

I didn't reload because I hadn't saved in an hour

[bold monolith]

Do you see the object in yellow?

That's the reason it won't let you.

[fluid flame]

Oh my god I already love the perimeter defense

but I'm also scared for life now

[warped patio]

any ideas on how to help?

or am i screwed?

[fluid flame]

hmmm try pushing it somehow maybe?

[warped patio]

its storming right now but when it stops i will sprint headfirst into it

did not work

[fluid flame]

Did it move at least

[warped patio]

no 😦

[fluid flame]

maybe try pushing with a different vehicle

like prawn or snowfox

(without breaking the seatruck)

[warped patio]

i just did with a snowfox but it was too small of a land piece to get any speed, and i dont have a prawn unlocked

[fluid flame]

maybe try something with a propulsion cannon

[warped patio]

dont have that either

[fluid flame]

well then maybe reload save?

[warped patio]

bad news

my last save was hours ag

[fluid flame]

in that case you might be forced to make a new seatruck

[warped patio]

yea thought so 😦 sea monkeys can have that one

[fluid flame]

huh??

[left marsh]

Needs to touch ground/foundation

Just make it so it automatically connects to the tubes and itll work

[fluid flame]

Then explain this

[left marsh]

I think one of the legs can connext to that island on the right

[fluid flame]

why isnt this working tho

[left marsh]

Whale in the way

[left marsh]

Not sure tbh. Got the titanium right?

[fluid flame]

yeah

perhaps the panels?

[left marsh]

Possible

Put the panels on the tubes ig?

[fluid flame]

i'll try to fix this later

[left marsh]

Just one thing. Rmbr ur reinforcement!

[fluid flame]

ye

btw got depth module mk3

[left marsh]

Nice. Go explore ig?

[fluid flame]

nah i had enough of crystals

im gonna go check out ||outpost zero||

[left marsh]

Lmao. Its an important location 👀

[fluid flame]

found the cache tho

[left marsh]

Oh yes. Do th land based taska as well

[fluid flame]

yea i just need one more ||body part|| and ||alan|| said its somewhere above water

he gave a more specific description but honestly forgot

[left marsh]

Mhm. Have u completed sams story aspect?

[fluid flame]

haven't been to ||phi robotics|| yet

I'll work on my base for a bit and go to ||outpost zero|| as I previously mentioned

[atomic forge]

hey excuse me is it possible to play subnautica with friends ?

[steel stream]

If you mean multiplayer, only with mods. You can try to find more info at #subnautica-modding

[chrome cedar]

Only one person gets the oxygen. Everyone else has to hold their breath, then you pass the controller to the next person.

[fluid flame]

whats the starter max depth of the prawn suit

taming a shrimp rn

[left marsh]

Believe its 400m. Someone please correct me if im wrong

[fluid flame]

there's NICKEL here???

[chrome cedar]

Yup

[left marsh]

Its actually not too hard to find

Just keep an eye out on the walls and ceilings for a copper looking material

[fluid flame]

I hope u were right 😄

[left marsh]

Get in and check 😭

Also the thrusters are massively upgraded in this and u can make it even better with the jump jet upgrade in the ||koppa mine||

[fluid flame]

stole that a while ago

turns out the prawn suit only went 150m underwater before touching the seabed

[left marsh]

Well, put it in. Its a worthwhile upgrade considering how good the thrusters are

[fluid flame]

yup its 400m

[left marsh]

Also did u find grapple arm frags. There are 3 and u only need 2 in sea monkey nests close to where u can find horspower upgrade

[left marsh]

My loadout was: storage storage thruster and depth. Drill + grapple for mobility

Then i put fabricator and storage module on seatruck

[fluid flame]

in og subnautica i had grapple and drill

[left marsh]

The prawn auit base storage has 16 slots i believe

U can put thermal reacotr instead but personally i didnt find many hot areas in the lategame syages apart from my base area (purple vents)

[fluid flame]

yeah the thermal reactor was much better in the first game

[graceful monolith]

Where do I find the alien containment

[bold monolith]

In one wreck from the Mercury II.

[proper notch]

Iwas wondering are they going to do an update for this game or is it the way it is

[left marsh]

No more updates for either of the games i believe

Working on a new one.

[fluid flame]

It would be hard to add new content to an already finished game such as this as it could create some plot holes

[proper notch]

ok ty for the info i just wondering

i beat the other 1 2 time so i figure it was time to play this game

[ionic pond]

what's the difference between this game and the original?

[bold monolith]

More story oriented, the map is different, most creatures are different, you have two new vehicles and even if it's still underwater you have more land parts.

[eternal garnet]

more jukebox

[bold monolith]

You have similarities. Parts of the code were reused, you still have the same fabricator, you have new base parts as meatie mentions.

It was originally planned as a DLC that's why the url for the feedback is snexpansion meatie I saw you were amused by it.

But it became too big quickly, so it is now a standalone.

[left marsh]

And a good one at that.

[graceful monolith]

Where do I find the afterburner upgrade

[eternal garnet]

lilypad monkey nests. Also those north, northeast

[graceful monolith]

Thanks

[cold mountain]

Are there more than 2 Blue Trivalves and 2 Gold Trivalves?

[eternal garnet]

there are 4 blue, 2 gold

[cold mountain]

Were do I find the other blues? I got the two that are in the ||Artic Spires with the Big Wormys||

[eternal garnet]

Blue locations. You need a prawn+grapple or snowfox for the south one

[proper notch]

do i need a control room

[steel shoal]

No, but it's nice to have one

[eternal garnet]

it's nice, but need, no

[proper notch]

ok ty

[cold mountain]

I‘m sorry, I have no idea what this map represents

[eternal garnet]

so the south one is inside an iceberg that you need to jump into from another berg

Red X

[cold mountain]

So the south one is Jump and Run subnautica?

And in each location are two?

[eternal garnet]

two per location yes

[cold mountain]

Okay, next field trip planned!

[cold mountain]

Got them, finding the thing was the hardest part

[rustic crypt]

What’s the max amount of modules I should have on my seatruck at once? Not max, I mean how many do you guys normally use?

[eternal garnet]

relevant: the speed drop. Normally full speed up to 2 modules. 3 if you have the horsepower upgrade

I tend to have 2-3

[rustic crypt]

I’m gonna use 3, sleeper, fabrication and storage

Maybe replace sleep with the prawn thing

[cold mountain]

Me sitting there with 7 on one truck

I got a second one though, with only three to get around quickly sooo

[stable fossil]

https://youtu.be/X1B4Qb392sU?si=w2S3fbmXNCVViDE4

anyone know where this is? i want to build a base here

[steel shoal]

Glacial Basin, south of Phi, I think

There's also an underwater entrance

[eternal garnet]

here. A few spoilers in map

[stable fossil]

can i teleport to it?

[eternal garnet]

no

[steel shoal]

It's not hard to find

[eternal garnet]

I have to correct myself. This is the old story world. The ice world was completely redone. But my marked location is very similar, except no snow doggies

[steel shoal]

Oh sorry, I didn't watch the video

I gave you the location where you can find the baby stalkers

Meatie gave you the exact location of the video

[eternal garnet]

nah, it's not. The location is gone now

But close enough, maybe

old world had an inclined bridge, it's here

[steel shoal]

I dunno, the antenna is still there

I don't know much about the old story </3

It was very ambitious

[eternal garnet]

you can still play it. it's like half a new game!

[steel shoal]

Unfortunately, PS4

But once I get a decent PC, I'll definitely give it a try

[eternal garnet]

with a 5090Ti

[steel shoal]

Sure, whatever that makes means

[eternal garnet]

a $4000 GPU

Guessing, as it doesn't exist yet

[steel shoal]

I'll sell a kidney or two <3

[next current]

I'll sell one of my kidneys if we can split the GPU in half.

[stable fossil]

its fine i can spawn them in, i just wanna do a land base and ut seemed like a good spot, if theres a better one (preferally that i can teleport) ill also take it

[eternal garnet]

you can get a good gaming pc for 3000. Really good with a gaming monitor

[frozen ether]

why does BZ have to be so beautiful

[eternal garnet]

Game just wants you to like it

[next current]

Game is succeeding.

[left marsh]

Thats gonna craah the market. Isn’t the shortage still present..

[eternal garnet]

mostly no

[left marsh]

Oh

5090ti not gonna come out for a while i hope.

[fervent bloom]

I'm going to try to reach the ||Fabricator Caverns|| with a Seatruck equipped with a MK2 depth upgrade. I know I can't get that deep, so it's a dangerous expedition, especially because I don't have access to the ||air-filled bases down there||.

[eternal garnet]

um, note that you don't need to go there until you have 3 body part blueprints + ingredients

[fervent bloom]

Yeah, I know. I'm skipping the ||Al-an|| storyline, so I'm just exploring for enjoyment.

I can also make the MK3 upgrade easily, but I thought this might be fun.

[eternal garnet]

mmmk

[fervent bloom]

Of course, I need to get out of the ||Arctic Spires|| first...

[eternal garnet]

maybe 2x ultra tanks

[fervent bloom]

I'm definitely bringing my Seaglide... I'm going to try it with 135 oxygen, and I'll see how it goes.

[eternal garnet]

o ho ho

impending doom

[fervent bloom]

At least I've got aggression set at 0.2... still, it's not a fantastic idea.

[ionic pond]

Is this game about alterra returning to the same planet in the original subnautica? But this time it's frozen

[winter oriole]

they just moved to the artic

[ionic pond]

where's the artic

is it on the same planet

[winter oriole]

on the planet

[ionic pond]

how come we can't find the arctic on subnautica

Or is it past the void

[winter oriole]

yes the world is big

after all you dont find the artic on earth by swimming for 15 min

[ionic pond]

oh so subnautica is based off of the ocean part and then below zero is based off of what's past the void

[mellow geode]

in sn we basically crashed in the caribbean

in bz we're in the arctic

[ionic pond]

In BZ do you crash aswell

[mellow geode]

current canon on the planet 4546b is that the entire surface is covered in water except where sn and bz takes place

[mellow geode]

play bz to find out

[winter oriole]

didnt say you didnt

[ionic pond]

Too poorr

[mellow geode]

Save a fixed amount every day

You'll get there eventually

[ionic pond]

wait so ||if below zero is based on someone visiting the planet again because alterra withdrawed everyone out of the planet, why couldn't they withdraw all the survivors after the aurora crashed in subnautica?||

[mellow geode]

Everyone died except ryley

[ionic pond]

everyone died because they didnt come

and people were alive if ryley kept getting radio things

So theoretically we weren't alone on subnautica

[mellow geode]

Everyone died eventually

And also not relevant to this chat

[ionic pond]

it's hard to keep on topic dawg

[winter oriole]

top switching game

[steel stream]

I know this belongs more to #subnautica-chat ,but I still reply here: Aurora blackbox data tells that 8h after crash (probably around the time Ryley wakes up), long range scans show only one live human

[shy notch]

is there any blueprint synthesised sound in subnautica below zero like in normal subnautica?

i dont get it thats why i asked

[mellow geode]

well it's still the same solution

[bold monolith]

The control room should tell you where the leaks are.

If you have one.

What doesn't work?

Fixing them?

[mellow geode]

you need to find and repair all the leaks in the wall

even with 1 left unrepaired the base will not start draining

how so

show a picture

found anything that makes your repair tool respond?

congratulations

[bold monolith]

Yes. If you have a beacon it will be deployed on death, which makes it easier.

[steel shoal]

@tough ingot You can find it in the ||Greenhouse, above Lily pads|| pretty big spoiler

[tough ingot]

ive found this ice wall about 50 metres under the water at the end of an alien cable

it looks like i should be able to break through but i dont know how

[left marsh]

Idk if mine was bugged but it was only openable one wayy

[steel shoal]

You can only open it from the other side, yes

It's a shortcut

[fluid flame]

I have now obtained a train.

[old arrow]

i just got bz

and i love this game

i've already shoved 4 baby pengwings into my tiny drop pod locker

[proper notch]

what is the use of the little penguins

[eternal garnet]

none that we talk about

[steel shoal]

You can pick them up and walk around hugging them

[cold mountain]

Where is the best place to find large silver outcrops?

[steel shoal]

The shiny place

[fluid flame]

from experience, the ||yellow looking biome|| between ||blue crystal|| biome and ||red crystal|| biome

[tough ingot]

cant find a consistent source of magnetite in this game like the jelly shroom cave in original, any tips?

[eternal garnet]

cotton anemone biome aka. deep lilypads. Or on land in pengling caves

[ionic pond]

I gave you a ping with my reply in the right chat

[fluid flame]

oops

but he took 1/4 of my health so he deserved it

[abstract kindle]

where can i find a lot of silver?

[eternal garnet]

thermal spires, the biome delta sits in

[fluid flame]

is the prawn suit thermal reactor worth it

I'd say no

[steel shoal]

I don't really find much use to it

It's convenient, sometimes. Not often, though. 3 energy efficiency modules >>>

[fluid flame]

are those even a thing in this game

[steel shoal]

I dunno, but maybe?

My prawn only has depth module, nothing else </3

[fluid flame]

yea its not in BZ

I'll just get a 2nd storage module its gonna be more useful

[left marsh]

Damn firefly ur a menace 😭😭

[fervent bloom]

Do you have no arms for it?

[left marsh]

Arms arent rly necessary

[fluid flame]

where is he?

[fervent bloom]

What do you mean?

[fluid flame]

||pet||?

[fervent bloom]

Oh, right. If you can see the ||Architect|| markers, you're ||going into the wrong part of the caves||.

[fluid flame]

so it's in the upper part?

[fervent bloom]

No; there's another deeper portion that doesn't connect to this part except through the entrance area.

[fluid flame]

I think im on the right path

[fervent bloom]

There are many interesting things to find down there, so even if you aren't, it's not unlikely that you will find something useful or interesting...

[fluid flame]

this?

[fervent bloom]

Yes, that's it.

[fluid flame]

nice how many variants are there

i know there is gold and blue

[cold mountain]

thats all

[fervent bloom]

Those are the only two colors, but there's one location with a pair of eggs for the first, and two locations with a total of four eggs for the second.

[fluid flame]

I'm debating if i should have 2 or 4 pets now

[cold mountain]

Maybe get 6?

The more the better

[fluid flame]

BET

[fervent bloom]

Just so you know, you can take them anywhere.

[fluid flame]

there is a bunch of these big ores ill mine some cuz im broke atm

[fervent bloom]

What do you need?

[fluid flame]

everything

[cold mountain]

I mined them all, but not just the quartz, the titanium and gold too

[fervent bloom]

In that case, what are you going to mine first?

[fluid flame]

||as in they can both walk and swim? would make sense since their eggs are in both terrains||

[cold mountain]

Yes, both

[fervent bloom]

Yes, exactly. They have different play animations for each, and on land they can also roll to catch up with you.

[fluid flame]

Ti, Cu and SiO⁴

(🤓)

these are my main priorities

[fluid flame]

I think i got everything else there was to get from here on my first visit

youre going to brazil

[fervent bloom]

Did you kill the lily paddler?

Also, I did not know that quartz had oxygen in it...

[fluid flame]

nah bro got eaten by a tiger trap so he'll respawn

[fluid flame]

tbh same 😂

[steel shoal]

It looks like it's already dead

If you kill it, it won't respawn

[fervent bloom]

Are you sure? I thought they did.

[fluid flame]

they dont i think

[steel shoal]

I was told they only respawned when killed by other fauna, but I could be wrong

BZ's list of respawning creatures is weird

Spinnerfish don't respawn?

[fervent bloom]

The wiki says lily paddlers respawn after 420 seconds...

[fluid flame]

idk

[steel shoal]

Wiki said custom mode didn't disable achievements, we have to fix it every now and then

[stable fossil]

can anyone help? looking for one i can teleport to

[bold monolith]

It doesn't come from me.

[steel shoal]

It didn't

But it's good to know they return

[stable fossil]

i dunno what else to add to my base anymore, maybe maoe a new room but idk what to put in it

[indigo pivot]

Where are table corals

[bold monolith]

Twisty Bridges.

[steel shoal]

Make a dining area with seats for you and all your friends.

[bold monolith]

On the walls where the brutesharks are.

[indigo pivot]

Ty

[delicate rune]

why does subnautica get boring after a while

then a week later its interesting again

[eternal garnet]

it's caused by water in the brain, coming in thru the left ear

[fluid flame]

I have a very stupid problem

I want to go exploring the land but before that I want to expand my base but I need materials first but I don't feel like gathering materials

[eternal garnet]

what if there was a cheat command (nocost) that made crafting and building free

commands disable achievements in this save

[fluid flame]

1. I want to play legit
2. I want to get achievements

[eternal garnet]

1+2 = gather resources

[fluid flame]

3. I wouldn't be satisfied with my base if I hadn't worked for it

On the other hand doing long trips for gathering resources gives a nice vibe

bruh I took my seatruck and prawn suit for the trip to have extra storage but forgot to empty the storage from the previous trips so I only have like 2/3 of the storage i was planning to bring

[fluid flame]

Fun fact: the noot fish does noot taste good

[fervent bloom]

However, the cured version is known to be nootritious.

[left marsh]

Please no 😭

[steel shoal]

It cannoot be placed in an aquarium, though

[fervent bloom]

That's an original one.

They are noot found in a wide variety of biomes.

[steel shoal]

It's noot, I stole it from Meatie

[fervent bloom]

Also, they do noot form shoals, unlike some other fish. This is one reason why they are noot typically eaten by glow whales. Other fish are more nootritious, so it's noot necessary to eat them.

[fluid flame]

noot noot

[fluid flame]

bro is stuck 💀

[steel shoal]

Maybe entreset will help bro, not sure

[eternal garnet]

moving away and back should fix

[fluid flame]

ok I got a bunch of lithium and quartz but i got too much and its not fitting in my storage lol

I have a crap ton of salt what do i do with it

[steel shoal]

Maybe monkeys can save them for you

[fluid flame]

rate my egg collection

[steel shoal]

You have 2 rugby balls but only one Plankton?

[fluid flame]

I dunno what any of these are yet tbh

i recognize some

like the whale, what looks like the shark guy, and trivalves

[steel shoal]

Well you have two that look like spikey rugby balls, and a blue one that looks like a blue Plankton from Spongebob

Also, one of them literally says "Sea Monkey egg"

[eternal garnet]

all have tags, once hatched and discovered

[steel shoal]

Crashfish eggs are kinda obvious too, you get them in sulfur plants-

[fluid flame]

oh yea forgot about the crashfish and sea monkey eggs

i know those too

i still dont know what rugby ball ur talking about

[steel shoal]

You have 2 of them

It's red with a black tip, and yellowish spikes

[fluid flame]

yes but which animal is this

[steel shoal]

oh

Yea, I didn't know either until I hatched them

Quite a surprise

[eternal garnet]

spoiler but ||rock puncher||

[fluid flame]

I have a suspicion

[steel shoal]

I didn't say it because I wanted it to stay a surprise </3

[cold mountain]

I loved collecting every egg and hatching it afterwards

[fluid flame]

is it the ||rock puncher||?

[cold mountain]

maybe yes maybe not

Hatch it and find out

[fluid flame]

I'm taking that as a yes

but I will

[steel shoal]

I dunno, spikey traps are also red with spikes

[cold mountain]

Yes, ||chelicerates|| kinda too

[fluid flame]

how the hell would picking one up look like

[eternal garnet]

it would look like you are making a salad

get it? shrimp salad

[steel shoal]

omelette salad

[fluid flame]

I got a locker full of quartz now so I will make a big alien containment and put the eggs into it

btw where do i find a bunch of large titanium and copper deposits

preferably on the southern part of the map

[left marsh]

Titanium theres a ton in koppa mine

[left marsh]

Copper im not sure about deposits but i found a bunch of the ore in this area in the lilpad biomes

Small cracks that had 3/4 copper each

[fluid flame]

these are ore veins or smth

i found one there too

[left marsh]

Yee somethibg like that. They are also a few in the mine but idk if its guaranteed

[fluid flame]

anway ill check these spots tmr

[steel shoal]

For titanium, Mg 2 is pretty good

[left marsh]

Salvage kinda long tbh. I prefer drilling

[steel shoal]

Bring a fabricator module, fill all your storages with ingots

[left marsh]

Wait can u deconstruct items??

[steel shoal]

I've said too much...

[fluid flame]

wait i forgot i can deconstruct items 💀

[left marsh]

|| Ik theres recyclotron but is there any other eay to deconstruct??||

[steel shoal]

For copper, Mg 2 is amazing as well, lots of copper wire

[fluid flame]

prob not

[steel shoal]

You can deconstruct it at home, once you're full of ingots

[left marsh]

?? I dont follow…

[fluid flame]

OHH mg cuz the element?

[left marsh]

Mg is magnesium..

[steel shoal]

It's Mercury

Wait

[left marsh]

Lmaoo

[fluid flame]

wait

[steel shoal]

Hg

Sorry

SORRY

There was a lapse

Thanks for the headsup

For whoever called me a bot - I make mistakes too

Call me GPT-3

[left marsh]

Ok so whatd u mean by this?? I disnt understans

[left marsh]

Still a WIP huh..

[fluid flame]

hm thats why mg sounded kinda familar...

how much energy does the recyclosomething use

[left marsh]

For refernce it wasnt me. I was rchoing what someone else said 👀

[steel shoal]

Bring as much salvage as you can to the fabricator module, transform it all in ingots. Repeat until no more storage.

[fluid flame]

or untill no powercells.

[left marsh]

No as in deconstruxt at home. I wasnt aware of any other form of deconstruxtio other than ||recycrotron||

[steel shoal]

Luckily, you brought a prawn with 2 cells (prawn is for more ingot storage)

[left marsh]

Ohh, did u mean to use recyclotron for dconstruction.. ah i think i fooldd myself there

[steel shoal]

The shiny place is soon out of titanium as well...

[left marsh]

Yk what would be interesting?

[steel shoal]

Infinite titanium?

[left marsh]

If u could deconstruct story related bases

[steel shoal]

Or at least fix them <3

[left marsh]

Or that ye

[fluid flame]

fix and live in them

the ||omega lab|| is kinda nice tbh

[left marsh]

This would be cool but i think infinite lead better..

[left marsh]

Spoiler tag?

[fluid flame]

there is no one here anyway

but

[left marsh]

Theres alwya ppl lurking. Just like the mods and playtestera

[fluid flame]

i guess

tbh its an early game spoiler anyway cuz u get a map of all places on ||delta||

[left marsh]

Anyway hows ur baae looking? Can u send a picture

[fluid flame]

I dont think it changed at all from the outside in the past day or two

i can send a pic tmr cuz im planning to do a small expansion

I should be sleeping now so bye 👋

[left marsh]

G’night

[steel shoal]

Remind me to get a picture tomorrow

[left marsh]

Of?

[steel shoal]

Especially after lunch, around 1 pm

[left marsh]

Uhm, if ur talking about GMT then at 1pm i have guests

[steel shoal]

We're neighbors, we have the same timezone

[left marsh]

below zero talk only 👀

Fun fact I misspellt every letter in that sentence

[carmine bobcat]

can someone help me out

i keep getting killed by this shadow leviathan thing

im trying to find this thing this annoying alien wants me to do

but it keeps killing me and idk where to go

can anyone help me out?

[eternal garnet]

Do you have the perimeter defense truck upgrade? Did you visit the pilot?

[cold mountain]

I have now fallen four times in the same place with the same vehicle with the same method through the ground, wtf??

I‘m just trying to get the ||cure|| game please 😭😭😭

[fervent bloom]

Where, exactly, are you falling?

[left marsh]

Damn..take a break and try again 💀

[cold mountain]

Wait, I have 3 of those ocations in Video format give me a second and I‘ll send them…

Technicly the second time it happened but I didn‘t save the first time so this is the first time now

Second

This should be the third

[left marsh]

..this is literally the POV of reaper leviathans when they sneak attack you 😭

[fervent bloom]

First, I like the colors you chose for your Prawn suit.

[cold mountain]

Just like them I can just phase into the real world again in a different place, it‘s just really, really, REALLY annyoing

[fervent bloom]

Also, does the same thing happen if you walk, use the Snowfox, or use the Prawn without the grappling arm?

[cold mountain]

The first time happened while I was just walking, but in the exact same general area as those times

[fervent bloom]

Is there a different path you can take?

[cold mountain]

I don‘t believe in Snowfox, cool Idea but I like the mechsuit more

[left marsh]

Snowfox is annoying cos of how u get off when lil worm appears

[cold mountain]

I don‘t know lol, I know the general area I need to go but I can‘t find it anymore, I need to get to the Snow Acazia field

[left marsh]

Titanfall suit btter for land exploration

No need for cold suit either

[fervent bloom]

If you follow the snowy slopes up from ||Phi Robotics|| and climb up a ladder to an area with lots of cracks in the snow/ice, you can follow the other exit from that area down until you get to the water. From there, swim through the caves, and you'll end up in the ||Glacial Forest||.

[cold mountain]

That should be it, thank you

I‘ve been there before, I just couldn‘t

find it anymore

[fervent bloom]

There's also a Spy Pengling cave in the little corridor that you emerge in...

It's filled with glow fungi.

[left marsh]

Snow acacia is so beautiful man

[cold mountain]

How tf am I supposed to get the prawn out of there now?!

[fervent bloom]

Can you take it through the ||Architect teleporter|| into the ||Arctic Spires||?

[carmine bobcat]

i do have the perimeter upgrade but it kept chasing me

its like its made of steel its mad man

[cold mountain]

then it‘s stuck in that cave

[eternal garnet]

so the peri defense is manual. Select it, then fire on attack not before. This is a game changer

[cold mountain]

I need to trigger another phase

[carmine bobcat]

really so this will just make it go away?

if thats true then my life is saved

[eternal garnet]

this cancels an attack. With good timing, 0 damage

[carmine bobcat]

and i owe you eternally

[fervent bloom]

That's a good question, actually. Can it fit through there?

[eternal garnet]

right at the start of an attack, or even when it's descending on you

[carmine bobcat]

okay nice, what if it breaks though

lsorry said that wrong

what if the elviathan still chases you becaue i tried the thing the first time

[cold mountain]

let me try first, but I don‘t think so

[eternal garnet]

it'll run off, but return soon. Not very soon

[cold mountain]

You can, I‘m saved

[fervent bloom]

Which way did you get out? Also, I would guess that you can fit through the ||Phi Robotics|| doors if you go sideways; you can get through the doors to ||Koppa Mining Site||.

[cold mountain]

You can‘t fit through ||Phi Robotics||, I didn‘t know it was connected to the ||Koppa Mining Site||, you can fit through the ||Arctic Spres portal room||. Also I just fell through the floor again and the only thing that saved me from falling into the void where the Eye Jelly Caves

I didn‘t Jump, I didn‘t grapple I just decided to fall through the floor

[fervent bloom]

It is certainly not connected to ||Koppa Mining Site||, but the doors are similar, and I thought they might have identical dimensions.
