[fervent bloom]

Did you end up leaving the chamber with the ||teleporter|| through the main ||Arctic Spires||, or through the underwater tunnel?

[cold mountain]

Main ||Arctic Spires|| aka the way with the ladder

[fervent bloom]

Ah, I see. Did you try the other route?

[cold mountain]

Yes, thats where I decided that I want to fall

[fervent bloom]

Now this makes sense. Have you ever had similar problems before?

[cold mountain]

nope

[fervent bloom]

Hmmm... I wonder what the problem is.

[left marsh]

If im not mistaken, theres a lil cliff on the side. Poptentially ise that to grapple over the bugged area??

[cold mountain]

I have no Idea

[left marsh]

Oh well..

You said walking over the area resulted in the same issue right?

[cold mountain]

A different one, but yes

[left marsh]

Hmm

What about snowfox.. it doesnt actually touch the ground so it may avoid the issue if ur fast enough ig

[cold mountain]

I don‘t know, didn‘t even build one

[left marsh]

Icl…same

Dont know how it works

[eternal garnet]

meh. Drop off that ledge, enter the normal way. Walk in the door. not with prawn

[cold mountain]

Tried it in a creative world before and decided that I don‘t like it

[cold mountain]

What?

[left marsh]

Its an interesting concept.. just prawn is bettter considering what ice worm does the the vehicle

[steel shoal]

The prawn is also too fast above water

It goes too fast for you to even control

Wormy isn't a problem

[left marsh]

Not really.. i found it exceptionally easy. With the thrusters the worm is just a cool sight

[steel shoal]

Did you have a grapple?

Please, go to the last Wormy room, grapple the floor and walk forward (don't ever let go of the grapple)

You'll only keep getting more and more speed

[cold mountain]

Who thought that following sams directions was a good idea

[left marsh]

Robin

[left marsh]

“Dont ever let go of the grapple” .. this is exactly why u were going fast 😭

I used grapple as a way to keep speed up only across long distances and avoid worm

[cold mountain]

Yay, ||cured the big guy|| happy and bla bla bla, but ||how is Alan still talking to me?! I build him his new Body Already||!

[left marsh]

|| Ye so if u hadnt noticed he is a bit meow advanced than himans so idk why ur surprised ||

[cold mountain]

But alien is no || longer in my 🧠 so he shouldn‘t be able to do that!||

[left marsh]

Maybe he has a mobile phone 👀

[cold mountain]

Mhm yes, mobile Alien communication device

[fervent bloom]

Did you transfer him into the new ||body||?

[cold mountain]

Yes, bro said that he is gonna do something and then we meet up at his place or something like that

[fervent bloom]

Then, what did he say to you?

[cold mountain]

Where? After the transfer or after the curing?

After the transfer he said that he is preparing something and then we meet up at a ||phasegate portal|| or something smiliar. He moved and I got the transfer cutscene so yeah

[fervent bloom]

I'm asking about the line that caused you to question how he could still speak to you.

[cold mountain]

Well, after I transfered him I remembered that I still need to cure the big boi so I did and he said that my sisters memory will live further in me or something like that. I was just confused how he still spoke to me two kilometers away from me

[fervent bloom]

I'm fairly sure that that is a bug...

[cold mountain]

I guess so, wouldn‘t have been the first today lol

[left marsh]

I think it’s because it was coded that once || Al-An || enters your head some actions trigger a line.. the fact the he has been transferred out is not taken into account probably because of time constraints or because it was inteded as one of the last thing you do on 4546b

[proper notch]

does the sea truck use both power cells or just at a time

[fervent bloom]

It drains from one first, and starts draining the other after the first is depleted.

[proper notch]

ok ty

[cerulean iris]

Does the ||control room|| use a ton of power? My bioreactor is full and I have 6 solar panels (it’s day) but my base is losing power. I checked and nothing else is operating

Wait what. It turned to night but… I’m regaining power? Man I’m so lost. I don’t want to just sit here and do nothing while I figure it out but I don’t want to return to a home that’s dead on energy

[tawny fable]

is there any way to turn off the base lights
But not cut the power off using the control room?

[steel stream]

Flood your base

[fervent bloom]

I don't believe it does... do you have any water filtration machines active?

You should be able to use the control room graphic to find out which rooms are producing and drawing power.

[cerulean iris]

No

[chrome cedar]

The control room uses a small amount of power, the wiki should say how much.

[cerulean iris]

Also my game just crashed for no reason. I think I just lost several hours of gameplay 🫠

[chrome cedar]

Oops

[cerulean iris]

Enough that a bioreactor and six solar panels can’t keep up?

[chrome cedar]

I think one solar panel should power it.

[cerulean iris]

Exactly

Also yes, I confirm that I have lost many many hours

[cerulean iris]

No ||laser cutter schematics, no propulsion cannon schematics,|| the ENTIRE TOP HALF of my base, and soooo much titanium

[chrome cedar]

Damn

[cerulean iris]

Is there a way to fix the glitch where getting in/out of the seatruck automatically putos you in/out of the driver seat? It’s been doing it constantly but damaging the truck isn’t working anymore

[chrome cedar]

Should only happen when you’re at an angle more than about 45 degrees. Level it out more and you should be able to enter without being put in the seat.

[cerulean iris]

My truck ran out of power

[chrome cedar]

Oops

[cerulean iris]

I took of the module, got out the power cells, replaced them, and reattached. Now it wants to work fine lol

[chrome cedar]

Curious…. But glad!

[carmine bobcat]

anyone know where to get that zappy upgrade for your truck
my old one got destroyed by this thing that digested me in its gob

i cant get a new one

[left marsh]

Go to pilots last lnown location.. find her base and its on the floor

When you pick it up you’ll unlock recipe too.

[carmine bobcat]

ive already found it though

and i dont have the recipe

😭

[left marsh]

It should be there..

[carmine bobcat]

let me check again rq

[left marsh]

Well. If you go to her base and go even further down there will be this area with cotton

Pick the small ones up and you should unlock recipes such as HCL if you alreadyy haven’t got them

[frozen ether]

HCL?

[stoic surge]

I believe the entrance you guys are thinking of is actually below ||omega lab||

[eternal garnet]

yes, but this is a hidden place

[steel stream]

I thought picking up the upgrade gives you the recipe? Considering that you also can get moonpool and vehicle upgrade console unlocked at the same place if that is needed as well (and you can also build upgrade modules in any fabricator)

[left marsh]

Yes… it should

[carmine bobcat]

you know that module that carries the prawn on the seatruck

ive found a few scanners of it

where do i find the rest? does anyone know

[eternal garnet]

crevices in purple vents. Eastern parts probably

[carmine bobcat]

i know where that is but my sense of direction is awful, are there any beacons that are near there or is there a direction i can follow from a locationn to get there

[eternal garnet]

go east from delta dock. South a little bit

[carmine bobcat]

alright nice thanks

[eternal garnet]

and find those crevices. one goes real deep

[carmine bobcat]

w

[abstract kindle]

||why is the robot with the antidote not there?||

[eternal garnet]

you broke it. On PC, it's possible to reset bits of the map. I wrote a guide for this

[abstract kindle]

where can i find this guide?

[eternal garnet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Subnautica_Below_Zero/comments/t7882v/reset_a_single_world_chunk_fix_guide/

[abstract kindle]

thanks

[eternal garnet]

I don't have the batch number there, so use the F1 method

[carmine bobcat]

is there a way to exit from your seatruck into the modules instead of just leaving it±?

[eternal garnet]

yes. if the floor is mostly level so you can walk on it. Otherwise you go directly outside

That is, if you have at least one module. If not, the only way is to die

[abstract kindle]

i resetted the chunk but its still not there

the items around have been respawned

[eternal garnet]

did you stay in the main menu while doing it?

[abstract kindle]

yes

[eternal garnet]

oh so it did reset

it's possible maybe, the location is a different chunk. Walk forward a little

[abstract kindle]

its 2, 19, 8 and that is the chunk i resetted

i'll try it again

still not there

[eternal garnet]

2-19-8 yes

I dunno 😦

Maybe this command resets it:
story frozencreature
Commands disable achievements. QmodManager enables them again

Kinda cute isn't it

[abstract kindle]

so i should use this command?

[eternal garnet]

up to you, re: achievements. If it doesn't work, and you don't save, achievements are still enabled

[abstract kindle]

i already have all of the achievements since this is the 2nd time im playing the story so i dont really care about that

it didn't work 😔

it teleported me to the entrance and froze me for a few seconds

ITS THERE

i just restarted the game and its there now

[eternal garnet]

ha. cool

[abstract kindle]

is there anything else imortant in the || glacial basin || that i should get?

[eternal garnet]

not really. Stalker fur?

[abstract kindle]

i already have the full suit

[steel stream]

Snow fox jump module?

[abstract kindle]

got it

[warped patio]

at what point in the game should you get rubies?, because i just got the 300m upgrade for my truck and it still wasnt deep enough for the pilots past known location, should i get rubies and upgrade or do other stuff

[eternal garnet]

you can easily go there with the 300m. it's at 360, and has air (there's no door, get in somewhere else)

just keep following the glowy wall plants

[warped patio]

i only have the 75 o2 tank and it would go down to 10 after no time

[left marsh]

There are ozygen plants available

[warped patio]

oh i didnt see, i will remember for next time\

[left marsh]

Also the base is at like 320m or something so its not that far

But did you have rebreather??

[eternal garnet]

oh, no rebreather? Item locations:
Large o2: ||120m down in twisty bridge canyon by a little building.||
rebreather: ||170m down same area by a little crane||

[warped patio]

is large o2 the one in the modifcation station or no?

[eternal garnet]

no, you can just craft it

[left marsh]

U high is the one from mod station

[warped patio]

ok, its quite late but tmr i will craft that and go down there again 🙂

[eternal garnet]

I think it's named High capacity

[abstract kindle]

where can i find a lot of lithium?

[eternal garnet]

on top of purple vents, and in hermal spires, tree spires

[abstract kindle]

thanks

also when should i go to || marguerit's greenhouse? she told me to go 1km east (i think) of delta island when i put in the test module||

should i go now or is there a point in the game that unlocks a marker or whatever they're called?

[eternal garnet]

why not now? ||Best food in game as reward, plus Sam tips. it's 1130m east of delta dock beacon||

If you find the satellite island (easy), scan that then go next island south-east

[abstract kindle]

i thought that i would unlock a beacon after some time and also i forgot

but i'll go now

[steel stream]

You already have all the available info to find the place (no beacon coming)

[abstract kindle]

is there anything dangerous on the way ?

[steel stream]

Might see a shrimp on the way

[abstract kindle]

alright

thanks

[left marsh]

Anyone else found the hole in in theiceberg near her greenhouse that is full of diamond gold and magnetite??

Its a treasure trove

[eternal garnet]

the PDA does detect it for you

[carmine bobcat]

i am looking forward to buying below zero, but i want to know some Pros and Cons

i have 70+ hours on subnautica so i think ill like it

[abstract kindle]

where is this hole?

[tough oak]

pros
better graphics more items more
buildings
better music
nice and lit up
above water gameplay
seatruck is generally better than seamoth or cyclops
extra powerful prawn suit
Cons
SMALL map
Once again, its alot smaller.
generally shorter and easier gameplay
far fewer leviathans
oxygen plants remove some challenge
Worse progression

[left marsh]

And the story serves as a pro and con

[fluid flame]

There is an ||artifact|| inside of it, which you should get a beacon to at some point (atleast I did), so just follow it but careful because there's a chelicerate above the entrance. By the way directly above that place should be an island with ||another artifact|| and the ||greenhouse|| is on an nearby island southeast* of that

[deep kettle]

🎉

[fervent bloom]

Which did you get last?

[sick rose]

below zero < subnautica

[fervent bloom]

I feel the same way, but they are both amazing games.

This one is more peaceful to me, which I like. I enjoy it more than Subnautica when just visiting different biomes, watching and raising creatures, exploring, building bases....

That's a good point. It helps that I find it peaceful to watch leviathans...

[eternal garnet]

some just wanted a subnatica 2. it's not quite that

some hate not being alone on an alien world

The story is hurting a little from the 2020 covid and the rewrite

yes, they stack

[proper notch]

what does custom game mode and is it worth doing

[eternal garnet]

it lets you tweak many game options

make it harder, or much easier

[left marsh]

It’s a good option after your first playthrough consider hardcore doesn’t pose much of a challenge other than 1 life.

[proper notch]

ok ty

ok sounds good to me

[chrome cedar]

Sadly it does not.

[left marsh]

Just use moonpool for prawnsuit

Eject the prawn, dock it then dock seatruck

[chrome cedar]

Yes

Fragments are deep though.

||Crystal caves||

[left marsh]

No thats incorrect…

Torpedo arms are in that location

[chrome cedar]

I thought both were?

[left marsh]

Grapple arma can be found near pilots last known location

Close to seatruck horsepower and afterburner upgrade

Horsepower doesnt have an effect unless you have 3 or more modules

Then yes. It’s very helpful

Just keep in mind using the afterbuner and crashing into modules does a ton of damage to them.

Theres 3 that ik of

2 spawn right next to each other next to a PDA

Only 2 are required

Ohh sorry i thought u were talking about fragments

Ye. Don’t remember approximate depth though :/

Rubies aren’t at twisted bridges

There’s a deposit in ||koppa mine||

[sick rose]

below zero < subnautica

[left marsh]

What upgrades do you have

Hmm.. tbh i don’t know

Never made that many. Don’t know max coverage

Just go drill the deposit

You’ll get q decent amount

Drill arm frags in the mine too

Crystal caves only has a single new reaoirce i think

It’s easy to find considering it’s bright colour

Just keep an wye out in lilypad biome caves..same with rubies. They are found in the ceilings and walls of those caves

Not too difficult to spot.. nickel is juat rare

Ye its a bwtter option

I just dont have the patience to relocqte a scanner room

Maybe because it looks better?

BZ is certainly much more pretty but that means it loses the horror factor the first game had

That’s down to experience in the game. Either way both games are amazing.

[indigo pivot]

Where do i find builder?

[eternal garnet]

best spot: 120m deep in twisty bridges by a small building

[indigo pivot]

Alr ty

[left marsh]

It’s very close to high capacity o2 tank databox

Pilots last known location in sea monkey nests

[eternal garnet]

er. you mean lilypads, in sea monkey nests

[left marsh]

I mean it’s very close to it..

I also may not rmbr the biome name ;D

Yes

Don’t remeber

Likely though its a relatively large chunk

Ye

Even if u don’t get 5 u can find rubies on the floor if u go a bit deeper

[gray salmon]

the Koppa feeds

[left marsh]

Just boost up

You can use the platforms as a stepping stone

No

It’s fine. Did u get jumpt jet ipgrade from the mine??

It’s good especially consoderig how powerful the thrusters already are

Get it. Its in the mine

In the area with damaged prawn suita that are docked

Huh?

No

No

It’s in the box similar to where u can find cyclops efficiency module in first game

The sealed supply crate has a power cell i think

Ye.

Im not sure if it is random pr fixed since i have only ever opened it once

[steel stream]

In the fabricator facility, deepest part of the map.

[eternal garnet]

yes

Sam hid the cure, and marked it ||on the phi wall map||

yes, but it replaces the rebreather

the only red

no

the other map

its on the wall in phi robotics

yes. there are only 2 maps

[steel stream]

No ice worms in glacial basin, but you do need to go to worm territory for another thing

Ok, then you're done with worms

No

[steel shoal]

Oxygen

It's a relatively safe location, but deep

[fervent bloom]

That isn't necessarily true, if you like ice worms or the ||Arctic Spires|| and want to explore it more, or want to go find the ||trivalve eggs there||.

[eternal garnet]

or the 4 stacks of ion cubes

[fervent bloom]

I think there are only three large ||ion cube|| deposits...

[eternal garnet]

theres one in the cache also

[fervent bloom]

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I haven't been inside since my first game, as I have no one to lower the barrier.

[bold monolith]

A creature you can interact with.

[fervent bloom]

That would work, though I don't believe the resources you're looking for are especially close to it.

[eternal garnet]

want the map of this area? eggs are hidden

[fervent bloom]

Are you using them for ion batteries/power cells, or in the teleportation module?

[eternal garnet]

ok. eggs in|| a cave on a frozen lake with a cable next to it||

[fervent bloom]

Are you going on very long Seatruck expeditions?

Unlike the Seatruck dock, I believe it does not.

It's completely impractical, but you can also use swim charge fins to do the same, if you're holding the tether tool.

I think it just takes a very, very long time.

Yes, this is why it is not a good solution.

Can you simply construct and deconstruct the Recyclotron to do the same thing?

Methods like this exploit the game a little too much for my taste... I'm glad if you like it, though.

[eternal garnet]

pilot? either. it's only 360m

no. go into the tunnel ||NW, follow the glowy plants||

scan every monkey nest

[fervent bloom]

That's definitely not a bad idea. You can also leave it outside the caves and swim down - there are oxygen plants there.

[eternal garnet]

follow glowy wall plants

[fervent bloom]

You could try both, as there are other fragments to be found there as well.

[eternal garnet]

true!

[left marsh]

4 different items

Ultre high capacity tank
Prawn suit grapple arm
Seatruck afterburner
Seatruck horsepower

Incredibly valuable area

[eternal garnet]

to what? I thought she was the goal

find all monkey nests in all the crevices in this biome

[fervent bloom]

I think they're all over the ||Lilypads Crevice||.... I don't believe there's a wrong way to go to find them, other than out of the biome.

You need to scan the test override module she has on the table, find parallel processing unit fragments for the blueprint, and ||insert it into the comm tower|| at Delta Island.

[eternal garnet]

you come back here after doing her favor

[bold monolith]

There is one in Kelp.

[eternal garnet]

bathroom scans, stove, PDA with her reaper story

[fervent bloom]

There's nothing you need, but there are more decorative blueprints and more information about her story. The parallel processing unit fragments are found inside ||Mercury II wreckage||.

[fervent bloom]

Which is that? Also, thank you, but I was thinking specifically of biomes that can be reached directly from the ||Lilypads Crevice||, i.e. the ||Deep Lilypads Cave||.

[fervent bloom]

Oh, thank you. What is the ventgarden path that's mentioned?

[bold monolith]

The path the juveniles take.

[fervent bloom]

Does that mean they work in a similar way to snow stalkers?

[bold monolith]

No, they work like the shadow.

The snowstalker follows a navigation mesh.

They try to go at specific coordinates following a path.

[fervent bloom]

Is that the navigation mesh, or the patrol system?

[bold monolith]

The navigation mesh is an Unity A.I. thing.

The patrol is something in UWE code directly.

It doesn't use a specific existing system.

[bold monolith]

It looks like this.

[fervent bloom]

What happens if you use console commands to spawn them in a different area?

[bold monolith]

I have no clue.

[fervent bloom]

I might try it (in a suitably deep area) and see what happens.

[bold monolith]

Maybe they'll go in that direction.

[bold monolith]

I just tested that's exactly what they do.

If something is on the way they're stuck, but if you aren't close there is no collision so they'll succeed anyway.

[fervent bloom]

That would make sense - it also answers a question I had about how it differs from the navigation mesh system in terms of gameplay (you answered how they differ in terms of the code).

[bold monolith]

The navigation mesh is exactly what its name suggest, whereas they have a list of coordinates.

[fervent bloom]

Thank you for clarifying. I'm guessing that the chelicerate has no patrol path, since it isn't listed with the other two...

[bold monolith]

Correct.

It's a free spirit.

[eternal garnet]

it's a sphere, I think. So same as sideways

[bold monolith]

To give the squidshark something to eat.

[fervent bloom]

Does it really attack brute sharks? That's somewhat terrifying...

[eternal garnet]

yes

[bold monolith]

They should attack each other. Sharks attack other sharks.

[eternal garnet]

yes. Galena. Probably on the floaty rocks, idk

[bold monolith]

You might find some that are inaccessible. The floating rocks have wonky collisions.

[chrome cedar]

Grav Ball can get most of those. Not all, but most, in my experience.

[left marsh]

Hae fun with the shadow leviathan 😄

[next current]

For now.

Good. Don't die. Dying is bad for your health.

[fervent bloom]

In fact, it is known to be fatal.

[next current]

100% of fatal accidents involve human beings.

[fervent bloom]

Are you saying that if one non-human animal kills another by accident, it is not fatal?

[next current]

[eternal garnet]

you need to release it outside

[fervent bloom]

What color is it?

[eternal garnet]

before that, it doesn't enter pet mode

Play with it, also on land

it can also follow, or stay near where you park it

it can, but it's got massive HP

[fervent bloom]

However, environmental damage and collisions can add up...

I assume you released them... I think they sometimes just despawn after a while.

[eternal garnet]

strange actually

are you on top of a purple vent

[fervent bloom]

Could it be something to do with the breeding capacity?

[eternal garnet]

no, they just stop breeding if full

[fervent bloom]

I know that that's how it's supposed to work, but I was wondering if something could have gone wrong.

[eternal garnet]

it will. It can teleport if necessary

[cold mountain]

Is the mineral detector worth the effort (lol) making it? I never made it and am curious

[eternal garnet]

it's mid. Very limited range, not useless

[cold mountain]

Can you only detect ores with it?

Or also other things?

[eternal garnet]

other stuff too

[fervent bloom]

I believe it does most things the scanner room can, but it might not work for heat areas and the like.

[abstract kindle]

how can i scan || ice worms ? i've tried going next to them but the scanner icon didn't appear and it didn't work, they just went back under the ground||

[eternal garnet]

find the dead one up north-east among the bones

[next current]

Mineral Detector is poggies.

[fervent bloom]

Which ones did you find?

I've only visited the ||Arctic Spires|| pair...

It's in the ||Glacial Forest||, which is part of the ||Glacial Basin||.

[eternal garnet]

yes

[rustic crypt]

Where is marguerites greenhouse?

[cold mountain]

In the south from her normal base, stay on the surface and you almost can‘t miss it

[zenith tulip]

Where do i find the ||parallel processing unit||?

[rustic crypt]

Mercury II

[zenith tulip]

It hasnt given me any markers for that yet 😕 what triggers it?

[next current]

You will not get beacons for them. Only messages from your PDA when you're nearby one of the two main sections.

[zenith tulip]

Darn. And im guessing i need a laser cutter to gain access to the item

[fervent bloom]

Some fragments can only be accessed with the laser cutter, but others do not.

[rustic crypt]

No it was not. That’s the void

[tough ingot]

where do i go to unlock maugerites greenhouse

rough location pls no spoilers

[cold mountain]

It on a huge Iceberg, It‘s pretty hard to miss

[carmine bobcat]

Is it okay to keep a swuidshark as a pet in the safe shallows?

[fervent bloom]

Yes! Why wouldn't it be?

[carmine bobcat]

I don't know maybe some people consider it to be insane because the squid shark is scary

But I think it's cute

[left marsh]

It isn’t scary. Just annoying

[left marsh]

Get the egg and hatch in alien containment.. that one is adorable

[carmine bobcat]

Yes until I released it

[fervent bloom]

I consider them to be majestically beautiful.

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

[left marsh]

For me that is the deacription for ||shadow leviathan ||

[carmine bobcat]

I completely agree

[left marsh]

Absolutely stunning animal.. when it’s not tryna eat you

[fervent bloom]

Oh, I feel the same way about those as well. Really, that describes all large, dangerous creatures in the game.

[left marsh]

Not the reaper..

Or do u mean specofc to Bz?

[fervent bloom]

I was just thinking of Below Zero, but it certainly applies to many creatures in the Crater as well...

[left marsh]

Well it definitely does. Not the reaper though. It’s a menace

[proper notch]

how do you get the to work

[left marsh]

Please specify

[proper notch]

coffe

mach

[fervent bloom]

Put one or more thermoses in it. One can be found in the administration room of ||Phi Robotics||.

[zenith tulip]

So the ||parallel processing unit|| is found in pieces and i have to make a bp?

[proper notch]

i have 21 ty for the info

just 2 lol

[fervent bloom]

Exactly!

[zenith tulip]

I thought it would be a one off item i rip out of a panel or something

[glass pawn]

do I have || to cure the khaara of the leviathan to end the game or can I just ignore it? ||

[zenith tulip]

Do you know how many bps are in which halves of the ship??

[pure marlin]

guys i threw a snowball at a pengling and thought it d13d 😭

it got back up tho

[primal summit]

just scanned a crashfish in below zero

[cerulean iris]

Where do spiral plant clipping come from? They kinda look like the growths on some of the bulbo tree looking things but cutting them doesn’t give anything

[pure marlin]

||they come from adult vent garden leviathans. they are in the tree spires right next to the purple vents||

[cerulean iris]

Not sure I’ve seen
||“tree spires”, ||but I definitely haven’t seen something called a ||garden leviathan||

[pure marlin]

thats where they are

thats where i found them

[cerulean iris]

May I see a picture? I might just be an idiot

[pure marlin]

of the ||vent garden leviathan||?

[cerulean iris]

Yep. Thanks!

[pure marlin]

sure

here

[cerulean iris]

WHOA

Yeah I’ve never seen that. I’m around the purple vents all the time so I’m surprised I’ve never seen it. Does it move?

[pure marlin]

no

it doesnt move

there are two that i know of but there might be more

[cerulean iris]

How do I find it? You said on the tree spires but I’ve never seen those either. What direction from the vents?

[pure marlin]

i dont know exactly what direction from the vents i just know its near the shallower ones

nvm

[cobalt monolith]

hey so like, im playing subnautica below zero and im in the deep lilypad caves rn. trying to find magnetite, ive found one piece in here and then a few others from some other biome. I have an excess of every mat BUT magnetite (and kyanite but i know where to find that) so like, where tf can i find this stuff lmao

[pure marlin]

you can find magnetite in the ||crystal caverns which you can get t from the purple vent caves||

[cobalt monolith]

yeah i went there before, its where i got some kyanite from too, do i just go deeper into the ||crystal caverns to find more? i was hopiong thered be a safer spot to get an excess but whatever, i have a prawn suit now so it shouldnt be TOO terrifying lol||

[pure marlin]

there is a lot of it it just blends in so use a mineral dectector

kind of near the entrance

[cobalt monolith]

yeah i also used that lol, but mind you i was at like the very entrance of the biome itself. ||i kinda pussied out when i saw the tail of a shadow leviathan just swim down right in front of me, so idk. ive found a couple pieces here and there||

[cobalt monolith]

thats where i was, i found like a solid 3-4 pieces maybe?

idk maybe im dumb

i dont really need magnetite for anything rn its just i wanna know for later lol

[pure marlin]

when i went there i found 10 pieces so you might just need to look harder lol

[cobalt monolith]

welp idk, ill have to make a trip back there soon anyway so

[pure marlin]

also you dont need magnetite for a ton of stuff so maybe get 10 more pieces

[cobalt monolith]

hopefully i can pick some up otw

[cobalt monolith]

yeah ik i dont. but im like really ocd and i just get a crap ton of every mat because i can, idk i was just kinda annoyed i couldnt find much bc in the original game it was everywhere but ye

sick

[pure marlin]

nice!

[cobalt monolith]

is that an achievement??

ah darn

just like me fr

ugh, how many are there, i think ive got like 4

oh

lol

we love those jams

yeye

i scanned everything in survival in the original subnautica

yes even all the leviathans, i wanted to have 100% in my pda

lol

ahh

ic

[unique jacinth]

True

[chrome cedar]

I’m almost exclusively on survival. Only did creative maybe three times just to play around with specific things in the game. The stress is part of the fun.

Important thing is that you’re having fun. 😎

I just move away from them, they aren’t worth the trouble. And keep a med kit handy just in case.

I’m usually in my prawn or on foot around them. Snow fox is fun but no storage, so worthless for me.

There are some before you hit the end. Usually.

Yes on that.

I’m very done some speed runs, I can beat the game in under an hour by sticking to the strictly necessary bits.

Some place you can’t get to otherwise…

Very end game stuff.

Yes, but you’ll be guided there when the time is right.

Not until you get the beacon. You can’t activate the Arch yourself.

You get the beacon after ||you build AlAn’s body and transfer him||. The archway takes you to the ||end game sequence||.

Correct, as far as I know.

Someone else may know better that has played in creative more.

Shouldn’t. I usually just seaglide.

👍

[fervent bloom]

You can hatch a pengwing egg, if you want one that wasn't cruelly ripped away from its parents...

[cerulean iris]

My water filtration machine is acting really really weird. It won’t make any water, and after it makes 2 salt it shuts down

[warped patio]

||so i have gone down 300m deep at the pilots last locatio and every time i go deeper i dont find any signs of buildings, all i have is a rebreather and 75 02, what should i do? keep on going down or go out and equip myself with more stuff||

ok thanks :

||i dont have a compass which way is north 💀||

[drifting laurel]

you might wanna make a compass

its not that much and it really helps

[warped patio]

ok 🙂

||ok i just did what you guys asked and got alans skeleton! is there anything else i need to do down here or should i just get the rescourses i need and dip||

[drifting laurel]

|| sea monkey nests have fragments you can scan ||

[warped patio]

||tsym i just found the ultra high capacity tank out of one!||

[drifting laurel]

np theres also || some prawn suit and seatruck ones there too ||

theres also a ||squid shark|| there if u havent seen it

[warped patio]

||havent got the prawn suit yeah i will check out some more nests are thanks||

i havent been to either of thoes

i dont think

[drifting laurel]

theres also some in the largest part of ||the mercury wreck or smth i forgot the name||

[zenith tulip]

Had to cheat a little with some locations but finally found ||mercury II wreck pieces 😭||

[warped patio]

||is there any grappler arm fragments in the architacht Q59 area? ive found all prawn suit and drill arm but no grappler arm||

[chrome cedar]

Run through BZ again, do some things differently, explore more. Build a better base.

[warped patio]

||is there any prawn suit grappling arms in the koppa mining site?||

[warped patio]

||just got the moonpool LETS GOOOOOO||

[zenith tulip]

Just now realizing i never ended up searching Delta Station for bps and pda’s 🥲

[warped patio]

can u change the color of your base?

[fervent bloom]

It might be very helpful...

[zenith tulip]

Not really

[fervent bloom]

Well, it would have helped you find the ||Mercury II wreck|| in the Purple Vents.

[zenith tulip]

I found that one when i went to ||margueites house and jellyshroom cave||

[warped patio]

ok thanks 🙂

[warped patio]

||i just got to artifacte pk8, al-an said he has an image of where i should go, but its hazy? i dont know what this means where do i go||

[chrome cedar]

It will make sense later as you explore elsewhere. He will talk more about that when you’re in the right area. He gives vague hints at various places that you’re getting close to something interesting.

He’s actually a very poor guide.

[warped patio]

oh ok, any ideas on where i should go to proceed story or just search aimlessly?

[chrome cedar]

That hint he gave specifically, head towards ||Phi Robotics||, you need to fix then cross over a bridge nearby, ||heading NW.||

Prawn suit would be handy.

[warped patio]

||so go to the entrance of phi, labs and then head nw?||

[chrome cedar]

Not the entrance. The bridge will be across water connecting to another land area.

Near a large radio tower.

[warped patio]

||oh when you first get on land fix that bridge||

[chrome cedar]

Yes.

[warped patio]

alrighty thanks for the help g

[chrome cedar]

[sleek current]

so uh I just came across something weird in a early build of bz in a pda from the base in the beginning of the game with a content that is very weird

idk if its spoiler or anything so i'll blur it just in case

i tried passing it in cyberchef but none of the encoding formats seems to make sense of this so maybe its a junk value or a ciphertext

[chrome cedar]

Much of the early build changed before release. No clue what that may have been about.

[sleek current]

its in the Mars 2019 build if you're interested, second early access build

[chrome cedar]

May well have just been a placeholder.

[sleek current]

yeah but the format is weird

[chrome cedar]

🤷‍♂️

[sleek current]

the only place on google where this number is mentioned is in the cached data from the russian subnautica wiki

there's 2 people who mentioned it in 2019 in this chat

I just found it in a pda in the early builds, did you find anything since lol?

[warped patio]

@chrome cedar i crossed the bridge and im in an area where he told me to go, these creatures keep coming out of the ground and i cant seem to find my way foward, any ideas

[regal apex]

No! Also great reply ping at 6 in the morning on a message from 4 YEARS AGO.

[sleek current]

im so sorry lol its 12am for me

I should've disabled the ping

[warped patio]

||im at the artcic spires heading north east but all it brang me to was a dead ice worm and i cant seem to find any way foward?||

[chrome cedar]

Hard to give verbal directions. The way around is via some caves that link sections. Basically keep heading NW as much as possible, you’ll eventually see some of the alien power cables, follow those.

Ok, dead worm is good, backtrack a bit from that and look for those cables. Where they go underground is where you need.

[warped patio]

ok thanks 🙂

found the cables! you are a life saver

Woohoo!

||found the tissue stuff, any more things here or am i clear to do other stuff||

[unborn topaz]

||if you havent already you can cure the leviathan ||

[warped patio]

oh where do i go for that

[unborn topaz]

that is kind of hard to explain

[warped patio]

ok i will just look then

[unborn topaz]

you need a spy pengling to reach a cave that has it

[warped patio]

i left my remote at home 😦

[chrome cedar]

On the side where you were there are lots of resources that might be handy. Some minor alien sites to scan, good source of ion cubes if you have the prawn and a drill arm.

Plenty to explore…

I usually set up a small base with a scanner room to help find things.

[warped patio]

got all those things

[chrome cedar]

K

[cobalt monolith]

hey so like ||i just got down here and now i have to go all the way back, is there more parts or are these all the materials im gonna need. cuz i dont wanna make double trips especially bc this is so far down lol||

[steel stream]

I think you can easily see that you need to build 3 body parts

[cobalt monolith]

nah its only this one thats showing up rn

thats why i asked

well yes i can see the 3 fabricators but

i was more asking which materials id need, ig i can look it up lol cuz i dont rly wanna have to make double trips so

ig ill do that

[unborn topaz]

i mean you get to see the crafting recipes when you find them

[cobalt monolith]

oh, i only have the one here, does that mean ill have to find the other two? tbh i thought theyd just show up once i built the previous one

[unborn topaz]

yeah

[cobalt monolith]

ah, these.. lol, so i guess i cant progress right now then

[warped patio]

spoilers

[chrome cedar]

You can make the one you have a recipe for, it best to come back when you have everything.

[steel stream]

Well, his earlier screenshot tells that he doesn't have materials for that right now

[cobalt monolith]

yes i know, i was saying i cant progress rn because i dont have everything. i could go get the mats i need for that part and come back but then it would be pretty much null and void since i wouldnt have the other two parts

so i think ill just screw off and do something else for now?? not really sure, i dont know my way around below zero like i do the original so its hard to know what to do next even though ive seen playthroughs

[cobalt monolith]

i marked it as a spoiler

[warped patio]

the picture is not spoilered

[cobalt monolith]

you may have a setting off in discord then because mine is spoilered

see

[chrome cedar]

I see that as spoilered, and the prior pic as well.

[unborn topaz]

same with me

[warped patio]

Oh yea it isn’t spoiled for me it’s weird

[mighty aspen]

I have a big question(3 of them actually), which may be irrelevant but it still peaked my curiosity. ||How tall do you think Al-an is? In the game you can see that his form is pretty tall, much taller than robin, which in the wiki and other platforms is 5'8-5'9(174cm). Another question that I have is if Al-an's body looks similar/identical to actual Architects. In the game Al-an sends you down to find infomation to his network and in one exploration, you find a statue of an Architect. They look a lot different than Al-an's form that we construct, perhaps from the wearing down of the water but that might not be the case. I mean we built it out of materials and matter from which we had to go out and find from other non-living Architects, like in the temple where you find the skeletal system of one of them that was crushed. So would it be the same or no? Or would it have similar qualities, or do Architects even have the same body structures/forms? The last question I have is if Sam's death was really how we found it out to be? I mean Robin makes it out to be as if she was murdered or something else bigger happened than what Alterra told her, but when you find the antidote and use it to cure the levithain it shows a PDA of what happened to Sam and it just said on how it was a pure accident and Robin said how she accepted on what happened and that was that(not completely accurate don't come at me, from memory.) All throughout the story it portrays it as something bigger just to find out it wasn't and Robin just seemed to accept it and say nothing to it, which kinda makes me think that something was missing or wasn't right there. What are your thoughts on it?||

[fluid flame]

As someone who hasn't completed the story yet I'm definetly not clicking that

[mighty aspen]

lol thats fine! Perhaps you could find some answers as you're playing through?

[fluid flame]

possibly

Im kinda bored rn ill go scan a chelicerate

[mighty aspen]

goodluck

[fluid flame]

scanned him but died attempt 2

[mighty aspen]

😭

at least you got the scan

[fluid flame]

I reloaded the save and got it without dying now

[mighty aspen]

good

[fluid flame]

Now time for ||shadow leviathan ||

[mighty aspen]

honestly i wish i could play below zero and the 1st one but i dont have a ps4 or anything yet and im waiting for one

[mighty aspen]

i hate those sm

but theyre kinda pretty

still hate them

[fluid flame]

a shadow leviathan whenever there is a seatruck/player located within the nearest 150m: E A T

also chelicerate when there is a seatruck 20 meters away from them: S P I N

[mighty aspen]

nah bc fr they never leave ppl alone

wait have you already found all of the parts for al-an's body yet?

[fluid flame]

I didn't get the ||tissue|| yet

[mighty aspen]

ohh

it takes a while tbh

[fluid flame]

I bet it does especially that I've got my base on the other side of the map 😭

[mighty aspen]

Honestly just make another small one 😭

[fluid flame]

well I suppose atleast I've got easy access to all the endgame underwater biomes

[mighty aspen]

true

[fluid flame]

I could probably get to crystal caves in 5 minutes assuming that I don't get lost

(including booting up the game)

[mighty aspen]

id add another 2 or 3 because im sure you'd get lost

the likely chance of you not is low

[fluid flame]

yeah its surprisingly difficult to navigate there

I probably should just set up a bunch of beacons

[mighty aspen]

honestly yeah

have you gotten all the prawn suit fragments yet?

[fluid flame]

I already got it fully kitted out

along with seatruck

honestly this just shows how bad is the progression of this game

[mighty aspen]

kinda yeah

you even got the module where you can carry the prawn with you on the seatruck?

i think it was the docking one

[fluid flame]

yes

[mighty aspen]

alright

[fluid flame]

I only dont have the ||teleporter|| module

[mighty aspen]

ohh

[fluid flame]

as in blueprints not crafted

[mighty aspen]

Honestly i find that useful

ohh

thats fine

idk where you'd get them tho

[fluid flame]

as in crafted I have storage, fabricator and the docking one cuz the rest is useless

[mighty aspen]

yeah

the teleporter one is good when you're in the ||artic area(idk what it's called)||

on land basically

[fluid flame]

I imagine

[mighty aspen]

or if SOMEHOW your're 600 meters down without your prawn or seatruck

or seaglide

meh

[fluid flame]

when youre 600 meters down I don't think a seaglide makes that much of an difference

[mighty aspen]

yeah

i swear i have so many tabs open containing infomation on Al-an my chromebook is laggy 😭

[fluid flame]

spoiling yourself the entire game before playing will make it less enjoyable

[mighty aspen]

i know, but ive already watched so many playthrus it feels like i basically have. Its fine though, i just wished for infomation on Al-an because I find him to be a nice character to say the least

[carmine bobcat]

in midway game they will give u random stuff they once gave me a diamond

then on end of game they start taking ur stuff again

[indigo mantle]

damn

[abstract kindle]

does my prawn get damaged if i go below its depth limit when i have it docked on my seatruck?

[carmine bobcat]

it will more likely if it below the depth limit and you undock it then it will start to break

but im not sure

[steel shoal]

Yes, it will

Remember to detach and leave it somewhere above the limit, and continue with the truck.

[abstract kindle]

its not taking any damage rn and im at 720m

i'll just detach it then

it will help me get back

[steel shoal]

Hmm, I see

[steel stream]

Just for info, the diamond was not totally random...

[carmine bobcat]

explain how

[steel shoal]

Do you have any pinned recipes?

[warped patio]

||im at the energy generator artifact, ive scanned it but it feels like there is more to do? do i need to activate it somehow?||

[steel shoal]

No, you can look around the area, though, you'll find a bridge of some sort

[warped patio]

||is this the one you need the acid liquid thing to fix?||

[steel shoal]

Hydraulic fluid or something

[warped patio]

yeah ive done all that

[steel shoal]

Have you explored the other side of the bridge?

[warped patio]

yep

[steel shoal]

Fully?

[warped patio]

||i think so, i found the tissue for alan||

[steel shoal]

[warped patio]

SCARY

sorry i hate ice worms

[steel shoal]

Then you can do other stuff

[warped patio]

idk what to do, i love my base and i dont know where to explore

[steel shoal]

They eat stalkers, they're programmed to run away when one shows up :(

[warped patio]

are stalkers in bz?

[steel shoal]

Have you explored a fossil research thing?

[steel shoal]

Snow Stalkers

[warped patio]

oh

[warped patio]

it rings a bell yeah

let me tell you the names of the alien artifactes ive done

how do u make a picture a spoiler

[steel shoal]

It looks like ||a troglodyte, in the purple vents place||

[warped patio]

the statue

[steel shoal]

Click the eye icon

[steel shoal]

I don't know what they mean, unfortunately

[steel shoal]

Do you remember this?

[warped patio]

are u talking about the one in the mining place

[steel shoal]

No

[warped patio]

hmmm

i think so

||what does it unlock?||

[steel shoal]

Nothing

[warped patio]

oh

i prolly have then

oh btw i found a glitch

the game spawned two beacon markers at the same place same name

[indigo mantle]

i feel like im progressing through the game too quickly and missing things

[warped patio]

same 😦

[steel shoal]

You should explore the fossil excavation thing, it will lead to important places

[warped patio]

any clues to get there?

[indigo mantle]

i downloaded it a few hours ago and im currently ||at the delta station dock but i havent even been to the emergency supply cache yet||

[steel shoal]

you get a signal to it

[warped patio]

what is the signal called

[steel shoal]

There are far too many of them, all I know is that it's in Purple Vents

Turn them all on and go to the Chelicerate

[warped patio]

is it one of the green ones?

what the hell is chelicerate

[steel shoal]

Yes

[indigo mantle]

im at the ||satellite surveilance archive|| but im not entirely sure what im supposed ro do

[steel shoal]

It's pretty, easily recognisable once you see it. Bring a scanner

[steel shoal]

Read the PDAs you get, and do what the characters ask you

[warped patio]

which direction should i head

sorry for asking so many questions i am so lost

[indigo mantle]

ohhh

[steel shoal]

It's somewhere East-southeast of the island

[warped patio]

alright sounds good

[indigo mantle]

i cant seem to find where to listen to them

like ive picked up like 20 pdas tho

[steel shoal]

In your PDA

There's a yellow dot next to all unread PDAs

[smoky ridge]

Need help urgently

So i built a large room took my prawn suit on gop to build a solar panel and i fell

My prawn is still on top

How do i get back up

[steel shoal]

You can build a base piece up there, and use a hatch

[smoky ridge]

It's on top of the room

Wait

[warped patio]

wait which island the one with phi robotics?

[steel shoal]

You can build it on the outside

[steel shoal]

Sorry, I meant Delta Island

[smoky ridge]

What do i do

[warped patio]

alrighty then, i am setting off on my adventure, all i got is a seatruck with a sleeper module and a docking module

🫡 andy you are awesome

[steel shoal]

Connect a compartment to the room, then a vertical connector, then another compartment. Put a hatch and a ladder. Easy.

[smoky ridge]

What compartment

[steel shoal]

Any except curves

[smoky ridge]

Wait I'll try

[steel shoal]

You can use other large rooms/multipurpose rooms, but those don't require vertical connectors

[smoky ridge]

Ahh i get you now

Wait I'll try it

[steel shoal]

One thing that might help you - Propulsion Cannon Arm. It takes a while, but you can bring props from other facilities, such as crates and supplies, and make a staircase to the roof. It'll also look really nice

[warped patio]

andy, i have headed east southest of the delta island but its just taking me past purple vents and into the lilypads, do i go into the lilypads or search in the purple vebts

[steel shoal]

In the Purple Vents

[warped patio]

alrighty

thanks

[steel shoal]

It's in a cave

[warped patio]

i just found a ship

[steel shoal]

The ship is near the cave

[warped patio]

alrighty

[indigo mantle]

went too deep wnd died and lost a full inv of stuff 😞

[smoky ridge]

@steel shoal ayy thank you so much man

[steel shoal]

I'm not a man, but you're welcome

[left marsh]

..I don’t think theymeant it that way

[steel shoal]

You can place solar panels on the floor, they will automatically connect to the base

[smoky ridge]

Woman

Anyway thanks

[warped patio]

||@steel shoal i found a house of a lady, is this the same cave that i should be in?||

[steel shoal]

||No but keep exploring, it'll lead you to more places||

[warped patio]

alrighty :

[vocal wind]

Do cooked fish grant more power in the bioreactor than raw?

[steel shoal]

No

[indigo mantle]

where can i find gold idk where to look

[steel shoal]

Near Delta Island

[vocal wind]

Volcanic zone below Delta Station Dock has gold deposits, they're gold-colored lumps called Calverite

Where do I find spiral plant clippings?

[steel shoal]

Inside the big jellyfish

[vocal wind]

The eyeball ones?

[steel shoal]

also in the purple vent caves

[steel shoal]

the big ones

[indigo mantle]

oh damn

[vocal wind]

There are bigger ones?

[steel shoal]

The biggest of them all

[indigo mantle]

whered the volcanic zone

[vocal wind]

Due south from the drop pod, on the other side of the Twisty Bridges.

The Thermal Spires are around a good chunk of Delta Island.

If you've found Outpost Zero (north of the drop pod), there's a map there of the Alterra facilities.

[indigo pivot]

Was i supposed to unlock habitat builder at ||koppa||?😭

[vocal wind]

Builder fragments are all over the place.

[steel shoal]

The map is in Delta Station

[vocal wind]

Oh

[indigo pivot]

Bruuuuh

I got prawn before builder😭

[vocal wind]

I got the grav trap before I got the seaglide

[abstract kindle]

i have a spreadsheet with a checklist so i can see what PDAs, jukebox songs, etc. i got, and there are a few personal logs that say you need to unlock them before getting ||Al-An||. ||Woman in an Exosuit - Encounter Marguerit Maida on Delta Island before having Al-An transferred into Robin, and then enter a vehicle or the Drop Pod ||. can i not do these anymore? i would like to have all PDAs and everything

[bold monolith]

This game has branching goals, but usually it's just variations if you have him or not when you do them.

[abstract kindle]

so i cannot get those PDA entries anymore?

[bold monolith]

No.

It's the first one or the other.

Depending on is_completed_storygoal.

[vocal wind]

How do I build seatruck trailers?

[eternal garnet]

find, scan 3 of them, build on mobile bay

[indigo pivot]

Vehicle bay

[vocal wind]

How do I hook the trailer up?

Nevermind, got it. I was on the wrong side.

[eternal garnet]

use the top handle to move the module

backing into it is not recommended

[proper notch]

what do i do with Sam necklace

[eternal garnet]

you put it on your bed shelf

[proper notch]

ok ty

does the flares work against the stalkers

[eternal garnet]

yes. hold, don't throw

[proper notch]

ok ty

[indigo mantle]

how small is the bz map. i just got it today and it feels like im confined to such a small area

surely theres more to explore?

[eternal garnet]

oh yes. it's not that small. Also a really big land area, west

Go south, and you find the other biomes

[indigo mantle]

ah okay

[eternal garnet]

(North = volcano)

[indigo mantle]

was gonna say at the moment it feels like im just inbetween delta and the spawn pod

[eternal garnet]

Delta is mostly central to the map

[indigo mantle]

oh

[fluid flame]

I've now officially completely cleared one of the ||mercury|| wrecks out of metal salvage

[indigo mantle]

how do i use blueprints i dont understand how to place buildings etc

[eternal garnet]

you need the habitat builder tool. Scan it in ||twisty bridges at 120m depth by a little building||

[indigo mantle]

ohh okay thanks

[zenith tulip]

how do i play below zero with my quest 2

[eternal garnet]

it doesn't support VR natively. I believe there is a mod

[zenith tulip]

i've seen it ask to load in vr tho??

[eternal garnet]

no, that's Subnautica

[zenith tulip]

oh

darn

[eternal garnet]

what? wrong chat?

[chilly gyro]

Can i get the spotlight in survival i can't find it anywhere ? .but it is in creative mode

[bold monolith]

No.

[zenith tulip]

Nah, just thought i had seen that for below zero, probs mixed em up.

[bold monolith]

At some point there was one in front of Phi Robotics. But after the change in the area they removed it.

[chilly gyro]

Oh ok thanks

[zenith tulip]

Does anyone have any tips on how to find/access ||Alien Artifact Q59|| without giving it away too much?

[bold monolith]

A map in Delta Island leads you there.

I think that hint is cryptic enough.

[zenith tulip]

Wait so its in the ||koppa mining site||?

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[zenith tulip]

Turns out i already got that one

[eternal garnet]

best to turn them off as you visit

[zenith tulip]

How do you get snow stalker fur??

[steel shoal]

Spy pengwing is a good spy

[zenith tulip]

I do, i must’ve either forgot it or didnt color code it like the other ones i wanted to keep

Oh. Poor snow stalker…i shanked him and let him drown

||”I recall Ravenous creatures tunneling beneath the ice”||

Fear

[eternal garnet]

he must remember wrong

[calm charm]

Hey yall I don’t have any directions right now, what do I do after ||visiting the greenhouse||

[eternal garnet]

Note that you got a (very OP) salad recipe that you can grow indoors. ||The greenhouse finishes Marges storyline, but it ties into Sam's. Now you can scan stuff in marges kitchen and bathroom, and there's a PDA with her reaper story.
Go find and optionally cure the frozen leviathan. Phi map: the radio mast in the west. Find the PDA (Security Recording) in the blue rubble of the explosion next to a buried forklift, with the audio||

[calm charm]

Ngl I though she was the only ||living one||

Don’t tell me but

Yeah

Where is the ||leviathan though|||

[eternal garnet]

Glacial basin map (from phi robotics, in PDA if you scanned it), ||trees left side. Top of the tree area||

[calm charm]

I plant the leaves though right?

[eternal garnet]

no, the fruit

[fervent bloom]

The leaves are part of the salad recipe, though.

[eternal garnet]

yes

[zenith tulip]

Is it just me or does hover bike have terrible turning

[eternal garnet]

ya you have to over-steer a lot

[mighty aspen]

you just wait and they drop them, or look around for it (I think)

[steel stream]

They don't drop it; you either pick loose fur from cave floors, or use pengi-bot

[mighty aspen]

ohh

my apologies for false info

but thank you

[tough oak]

Question:||im in the arctic spires zone, is there a base over here? I found an architect portal and a cache but nothing else and my prawn is low on power||

[eternal garnet]

base, no, but main story item, and artifact, and total 4 stacks of minable ion cubes

artifact is "greenhouse", alien

[mighty aspen]

id go for it and hope your prawn doesn't shut down

[zenith tulip]

Hey so i scanned this and it didnt give me any pda info??

[tough oak]

I've found the ||arm if thats what u mean||

[eternal garnet]

no that's not an artifact

[tough oak]

oh ic

well ill leave that artifact for later

gotta make some ||ion power cells||

[eternal garnet]

that's an artifact. most have no pda entry, but the total number gives recipes and other stuff. And 1-2 green cubes

so, rewards

[zenith tulip]

it gave ||2 cubes and sits over a diamond deposit||

[tough oak]

also, ||is it true that ion cubes are limited in bz?
Might dupe them if they are. Kinda weird to budget them||

||if there is a way to dupe||

[eternal garnet]

yes, true

Though there are quite a lot to find or mine

[mighty aspen]

I have a big question(3 of them actually), which may be irrelevant but it still peaked my curiosity. ||How tall do you think Al-an is? In the game you can see that his form is pretty tall, much taller than robin, which in the wiki and other platforms is 5'8-5'9(174cm). Another question that I have is if Al-an's body looks similar/identical to actual Architects. In the game Al-an sends you down to find infomation to his network and in one exploration, you find a statue of an Architect. They look a lot different than Al-an's form that we construct, perhaps from the wearing down of the water but that might not be the case. I mean we built it out of materials and matter from which we had to go out and find from other non-living Architects, like in the temple where you find the skeletal system of one of them that was crushed. So would it be the same or no? Or would it have similar qualities, or do Architects even have the same body structures/forms? The last question I have is if Sam's death was really how we found it out to be? I mean Robin makes it out to be as if she was murdered or something else bigger happened than what Alterra told her, but when you find the antidote and use it to cure the levithain it shows a PDA of what happened to Sam and it just said on how it was a pure accident and Robin said how she accepted on what happened and that was that(not completely accurate don't come at me, from memory.) All throughout the story it portrays it as something bigger just to find out it wasn't and Robin just seemed to accept it and say nothing to it, which kinda makes me think that something was missing or wasn't right there. What are your thoughts on it?||

[tough oak]

||al an|| looks like hes 9 ft from the player

[eternal garnet]

The statue is artistic. Simpler, cleaner

[mighty aspen]

ohh

[mighty aspen]

slright

alright*

[eternal garnet]

There's a PDA,|| "security recording", in the rubble of the cave entrance, next to a forklift. Its the audio of an explosion, with some talking. And 2 dead.||

So alterra ||did not lie||

[mighty aspen]

It just seemed like there would be more to it than that, ||since Robin went off her ship mainly to disprove Alterra.||

[eternal garnet]

My interpretation of that recording||: Sam was setting up the bomb, Parvan caught her, she fell, boom||

this was near the rubble

[mighty aspen]

That would make sense

Thank you

[eternal garnet]

you should find the pda, but you can prob. google it also

from my title

[mighty aspen]

Alright

[fervent bloom]

Are you sure? I think many do. My guess, in this case, is that the player in question already got the ground sampler entry.

[eternal garnet]

No, not entirely sure. You may be right, as theres two ground samplers I think

[fervent bloom]

I need to check again, but I think I got an entry for each.

[zenith tulip]

so i've been ||hovering around phi robotics|| area awhile, not finding much other than things that want to eat or squish me. anyone wanna push me in a good compass direction or is there nothing else here? I have located ||the actual robotics cave and extended the bridge already ||

[eternal garnet]

Scan the wall map. On that, find the tree area, south west. Big thing in that, by a radio mast

[zenith tulip]

Theres a wall map in the ||phi robotics center||?

[eternal garnet]

yes

the second and last map

[zenith tulip]

Ok, i might’ve already scanned that then, ill look through my stuff

[eternal garnet]

pda, info, maps

[zenith tulip]

found it thanks

[abstract kindle]

where can i find a lot of lead?

[fervent bloom]

It's only found in galena outcrops; I've found them in the Twisty Bridges and Thermal Spires.

[eternal garnet]

yes. Scanning helps

[abstract kindle]

i know where they're found, but i wanted to know if there was a location with more galena outcrops (i think i got most of it from the twisty bridges and im probably gonna go to the termal spires now)

[left marsh]

Thermal spires also has a ton of argentite and calvaerite outcrops

[fervent bloom]

I'm guessing you haven't harvested much from the ||Crystal Caves||...

[left marsh]

But rhat’s not really easily accessed wothout a prawn suit tbh

The lil eel there is quite aggressive

[jolly basin]

@bold monolith Would you happen to have a Below Zero heightmap?

[chrome cedar]

What’s your goal there?

[steel shoal]

Ramune makes really amazing stuff

[north hill]

when is there gonna be subnautica 3

[eternal garnet]

we don't know. Next year, early access details will be revealed. When next year? don't know

[north hill]

is there gonna be multiplayer?

[eternal garnet]

no info

[north hill]

breh

i prob wont get it if not

[warped patio]

it most likely wont be since the last two hasnt and subnautica just doesnt seem to be that type of game, there will always be mods tho\

[wheat hound]

power ranger samurai was the best one

[warped patio]

2nd best, mighty morphin and turbo tied for 1st

[wheat hound]

lol fair enough

[calm charm]

So…

[eternal garnet]

ha. load a save, or push it in with a prawn

[drifting laurel]

How do you even load a save because I don’t see anything to do that

[eternal garnet]

escape, Quit. This tells you how long its been

[calm charm]

Alr if it’s an easy fix like just use the prawn I’ll do the rest of my journey

[eternal garnet]

push it in with your prawn.

[calm charm]

Ik

[eternal garnet]

Save often, everyone

[drifting laurel]

Does it work if u like build like a lamp post to push it into the water

[calm charm]

Or just have a mini heart attack whenever you’re about to quit

But this isn't related to BZ

[next current]

Unknown Worlds moment.

[zenith tulip]

so i've gone to ||all the alterra facilities on the delta map|| but now that i've found ||the frozen leviathan|| im not sure what else to do?? ||there is the serum to cure it but i dont have a starting point of how to get that||

[eternal garnet]

know where it is? it requires the ||pengling bot||. Sam left a hint on that map

[zenith tulip]

oh okay gotcha, i thought the ||bot was just for fur and resource nodes||

[eternal garnet]

its got a hidden feature: enable its cam on yourself

[steel shoal]

Reading/listening to the Logs is strongly advised - it helps you find stuff, and also understand what happened and what to do next.

Do you even know why are you ||curing the leviathan?||

[zenith tulip]

i have listened to all of them, just bad memory and low attention span makes it difficult for me to keep track

[zenith tulip]

cause of the ||kharaa bacteria?||

[steel shoal]

Ah, I see. Well, there's a PDA somewhere of her saying that ||she hid it and marked the location on the map||

[steel shoal]

||It's mostly because Sam was scared they'd use it for evil||

[zenith tulip]

yeah, just found that in my databank, must've picked it up a long time ago

[zenith tulip]

she thought they'd use it as a bioweapon or it would break out and cause havoc, yea?

[steel shoal]

Yea, something like that

[next current]

||Bioweapons. In the words of the almighty Cory Strader: "the creature is stone cold DEAD."||

[eternal garnet]

Allegedly.

[wind fable]

Did you guys know that grav traps will lift limestone out crops

[steel shoal]

Yes, they will

[wind fable]

Its super effective at gathering resources

[wheat hound]

this chat looking like an scp article rn

[zenith tulip]

prolly cause im a lil bit blind and i go heavy with that sharpie

speaking of being blind ||was their architect tissue or something near the frozen leviathan? still need that and the organs||

[eternal garnet]

no. it's ||north of the bridge, far north||

follow the cables down

[zenith tulip]

what is?

[steel shoal]

||The tissue||

[zenith tulip]

is there a trigger i should have passed already to get a beacon for it or is it just searching in that direction that does it

[eternal garnet]

you do not get beacons for either two

alan speaks when getting close tho. Both

[zenith tulip]

thats weird, why'd i get it for the other piece then?

[eternal garnet]

you get a beacon for one of 3

[earnest coral]

Does anyone know if there is a way to open up the console command on the steam deck with below zero?

I'm able to open the console command on subnautica but not with below zero?

[eternal garnet]

there should be. on PC it's shift-enter

otherwise, google

[earnest coral]

Shift enter doesn't work on the steam deck or doesn't for me.

Google hasn't been much help for below zero and steam deck.

[zenith tulip]

crystal caves run not fun.........

[warped patio]

it might be like xbox so it might be A and then left and right bumpers

[earnest coral]

It's a no go.

[warped patio]

tried all at the same time?

[earnest coral]

Yeah lb lt rt rb and a

The thing is I bring up the steam deck keyboard and press shift and enter and nothing happens

[eternal garnet]

Does F3 bring up a window?

the old way was a checkbox on there

[warped patio]

yea i remember doing that

[cerulean iris]

Does the ||seatruck dock|| not connect to your base? For me it’s only green when it’s alone

It won’t connect directly to the side or any of the passageways

Nvm, now it’s working

[zenith tulip]

i am in fear for my life from ||2 shadow leviathans and then another leviathan above the cave entry||

[mighty aspen]

goodluck man bc ik thats terrifying

[earnest coral]

No f keys on the steam deck

[tough ingot]

its just flippin massive so normally is bumping into a plant or something

does anyone know where i can find large amounts of magnetite

[zenith tulip]

how do i find ||nickel? been searching crystal caves awhile but only got kyanite and repair tool running low after fending off the leviathans||

[mighty aspen]

||The Crystal Caves, Deep Lilypads Cave, Fabricator Caverns and Lilypad Islands, specifically found on the sides of the lilypad islands are good places for nickel ores||

i think

[zenith tulip]

yes thats what wiki says but im not seeing them and wondering if they can only be gotten from deposits or something

[mighty aspen]

im pretty sure they can be found individually as well

prehaps towards the entrance of the ||crystal caves||

[zenith tulip]

nothin

[mighty aspen]

dang.

id try in the ||lilypad area then||

ngl subnautica never fails to have the best music ever

imo

[zenith tulip]

Got 2 pieces from lil, and 2 pieces from sea monkeys. Still 3 short but ill take it for now

[mighty aspen]

at least you found some

[cerulean iris]

Am I doing something wrong? My water filtration machine still refuses to make any water. It only makes salt.

[mighty aspen]

how long have you waited? it should show a % of water

[zenith tulip]

did you restart your game? mine was doing something similar and it kinda just fixed itself

[zenith tulip]

yea now i get to go deeper into the crystal caves tryna find stoopid stuff.
