below-zero-chat

[bold crown]

one of the sites idk

you can also grow land plants

inside base with a pot

[unique jacinth]

Now that I beat Subnautica might as well beat this

[bold crown]

yeah i beat subnautica a while back and now ive just started a bz playthrough

11 hrs in so far

[unique jacinth]

Would high 02 tank be enough for||al-al||

With seaglide

[eternal garnet]

finding him? yes

[unique jacinth]

Alright going to get habitat again stupid sea monkey then glider

At least once I get ||al-al|| they aren't bad

Should I just stop being lazy and after getting my friend get the seatruck

[bold crown]

tf is ||al-al||

[unique jacinth]

Uh something in your head

[bold crown]

oh you mean al-an?

also i find it funny that i found habitat builder after sea truck

[unique jacinth]

Ohh

I realized something

Al-an chamber has cubes

Didn't realize on my Lost playthrough

Awk cheaper nice

I forgot the quality of life things

[unique jacinth]

How far in are you

Also you start with battery charger 😍😍

Great game 9/10

Growbed aquried

Below average or not bioreactor is cheap to build

And I got growbeds so it all works out

[unique jacinth]

|| parcel is in Mercury right ||

[carmine bobcat]

its good

[unique jacinth]

Hey uh which part of ||prinsyons plant do I use for growing||

||Preston's*||

[hollow seal]

my snowfox got stuck in ground so i used ghost 🥲

[steel stream]

Fruit, you can also feed the fruit to snow stalkers

[unique jacinth]

Alright thanks

[unique jacinth]

I'm only 6 hours in and I'm kinda broken ish

Nothing major temporarily clipped through the floor

[steel shoal]

In my 40h playthrough, I only encountered 2 bugs

Snowfox and I clipped through the floor, and another scarier one, everything stopped loading, and saving took about 15 minutes

[unique jacinth]

Anyway I like prawn slightly more here

[unique jacinth]

Had the second one when I played Xbox except it never saved

Btw can you grow flowering buds or spores

[steel shoal]

After I finished the game, I came here to find out that the bug is usually a death screen, it rarely stops saving...

[unique jacinth]

Whatever they are

[steel shoal]

No

[unique jacinth]

Rip

Anyway bio reactor in zero ain't that bad

[steel shoal]

Root pustules, found in the Kelp caves, are amazing fuel

700 each

Unfortunately, they are not renewable

[unique jacinth]

I use ribbon pulse and clusters

Anyway bz is still pretty fun

Just things became cheaper or more expensive mostly cheaper though

And new creatures

Anyway @steel shoal are charge glide fins as good as the original?

[sinful idol]

How do you get crysyaline sulfur?

[unique jacinth]

Crashfish

[steel stream]

They are the same. No swim speed bonus but charge the tool in hand. And with them seaglide never runs out of charge

[sinful idol]

Oh god. Theyre in this game too?

[unique jacinth]

Yup

You will never escape them

[unique jacinth]

I already got almost optimal prawn

This game is quicker I kinda like it and also kinda hate it but y'know what can you do

[unique jacinth]

How is it going

[prime sorrel]

Anyone else have any issues with the scanner room showing a location of an item but it not being there? I'm tracking a shadow leviathan and I have the HUD upgrade but when I go to the location there is just a marker in empty water.

[unique jacinth]

Sometimes that happens

[prime sorrel]

Is there any way to fix it?

[unique jacinth]

Dunno

[chrome cedar]

I’ve seen that with other things. I have a phantom piece of lead near my base that’s many meters away from everything, HUD shows it but there is nothing there. Even tried to see if a grav ball might magically snag it, nothing.

[terse atlas]

hello

hi

[eternal garnet]

[terse atlas]

pinguin

i havent played that much of below zero but ive played some

[sinful idol]

Great. Found a lot of blueprints

[fervent bloom]

Is there any information on why the repulsion cannon was removed in Below Zero?

I recently added this to my Twisty Bridges base.

[chrome cedar]

I think they only added what was really needed from the first game, and tried to add some new things when possible to keep it fresh.

I always forget those mushrooms are harvestable and plantable…

[next current]

AFAIK, there is no reason. My guess is that the Repulsion Cannon fragments were a placeholder until they added the Grappling Arm Fragments to the Sea Monkeg Nests. Of course, I could be entirely wrong.

[fervent bloom]

I didn't know they were ever in this game; I was trying to ask why they were never implemented.

[fervent bloom]

Which mushrooms are you thinking of?

[next current]

Oh... :P

Yeah the item was in the game before. And it was in the game for a long time.

[chrome cedar]

The bluish ones.

[fervent bloom]

You can eat the chunks, too, though they aren't exactly an ideal food source.

[fervent bloom]

So, you think they didn't take it out because they thought it was overpowered or otherwise not a good fit, but because it wasn't especially useful?

[chrome cedar]

I’m can’t say on the reasoning, but I got by fine without it.

[next current]

They were replaced in EA12 (Relics of the Past Update).

[chrome cedar]

The one thing I do miss is the spotlight for the base. I always used those in SN.

[fervent bloom]

I've never made it, but I was thinking of doing so in Subnautica, and curious.

[next current]

Well...

[fervent bloom]

I personally prefer floodlights. What makes you like the spotlight?

[chrome cedar]

Lower power requirements as I recall. And I have all sorts of issues placing floods where they are useful and can be powered. Finding the magic point where they go from yellow to green…

[next current]

Umm... it WAS able to be gotten at one point. On one early access version for the Snowfox Update, there was a spotlight in the game for the player to scan outside of the Snowfox Base (Now the Phi Robotics Center).

[chrome cedar]

Well, it was early access, so they used lots of things from the first game because they were easy adds.

[fervent bloom]

I didn't know they drained significant power - I've never struggled with it.

[chrome cedar]

I’d need to go back and look that up.

[gusty berry]

st lucia flag

[next current]

No. Just the Alterra Corporations™️ logo.

[bold crown]

i just saw a huge centipede pop out of the snow lol

[fervent bloom]

That would be the ice worm...

[bold crown]

well i dont think i like him very much

[unique jacinth]

Hello

[bold crown]

he is kinda eating everyone

[fervent bloom]

You can't attack or scan it, but there's a worm carcass further into the biome that can be scanned.

[bold crown]

now he is trying to attack me

[fervent bloom]

That sounds about right... they're amazing, are they not?

[unique jacinth]

I forgot you could find a free prawn module at || koppa||

[steel shoal]

It's the only way to get it, I was told

[unique jacinth]

Maybe but a free module is a free module

[bold crown]

i feel like im walking in circles, is there anything i should be looking for?

[steel shoal]

You can check the map you got in Delta Station

But the deeper you go into the biome, the more important things you see

[bold crown]

what map

[steel shoal]

Did you not scan a map...?

[next current]

Pretty respectable ngl.

Unless they didn't mean to not scan it.

[bold crown]

i didn't know there was a map

lmfao

[steel shoal]

Well, it helps a ton, but going north works

[bold crown]

also i love the grappling fish speed bug

where tf am i

i think i broke the game

guys theere isn't a ghost leviathan here right?

lmfao

[chrome cedar]

Edge of the world…. Place you weren’t meant to go.

Mind the gap…

[bold crown]

imma just load my last save

should i go get the map first?

[chrome cedar]

Not going to build a void base? LoL

[bold crown]

if so where is it?

[chrome cedar]

Phi

[bold crown]

huh

they said there is a map at delta island or smth

[chrome cedar]

There might be two? I don’t remember now. Just a sec.

Ok, Delta, sorry. But Phi has some good scannables.

[next current]

Alterra Facilities Map at Delta, Glacial Basin Map at Phi.

[bold crown]

ig im gonna go back to delta island then

im so lost

[unique jacinth]

@steel shoal there are 3 || body cashes right|| and do you need to even go to these artifacts

[steel shoal]

I dunno, I think they only unlock technology after you've scanned a certain amount of them

[unique jacinth]

So basically they are for alien tech which I need in order to utilize the things

[steel shoal]

They're special blueprints

Very useful

[bold crown]

is there a cyclops in ths game

[eternal garnet]

nope. Put rooms (modules) on your truck

[bold crown]

oh

dang

i only unlocked 1 room so far

[eternal garnet]

find more. 2 in deep twisty below 300m

rest in purple vents and lilypads

[unique jacinth]

@steel shoal is it normal for there to be a second alien distress call in the exact same location as the first for no apparent reason

[eternal garnet]

this is a bug, disable it, disregard

[unique jacinth]

Alright

Anyone know why it occurs

[eternal garnet]

story script making sure you get that location. Bit too much

[chrome cedar]

It’s a feature because it’s very important.

[eternal garnet]

devs are humans. And sometimes effects of some code is hard to predict. So you get game flaws, bugs

[chrome cedar]

Truth

I blame the play testers. 😂

[eternal garnet]

ha.
Sometimes there are more bugs than features. see: Gollum game

hilarious bugs too

[chrome cedar]

Hadn’t seen that one before now, but the reviews are brutal.

[eternal garnet]

apart from 30 fps on a 3090, there are many funny bugs

[bold crown]

i love how your prawn becomes a speedy boi on land when you grab a fish with it

[unique jacinth]

Oh I didn't even need to do phi || excavation||

Don't*

I'm not going to

[eternal garnet]

sadface

[unique jacinth]

I can't even get achievements anyway

Because I'm on switch

[errant eagle]

hey do decoys really suck for anyone else?

[unique jacinth]

Meh haven't tried

[eternal garnet]

they aren't worth your time. Perimeter defense is. It's not automatic/passive

[errant eagle]

torpedo missing really easy was a let down as well

[fervent bloom]

What decoys are you thinking of?

[eternal garnet]

kinda sounds like the cyclops thing

[errant eagle]

i used the sub ones to try and make a getaway and they didn't go for it at all

[eternal garnet]

mm. Check this channel name

[unique jacinth]

Is there a way to make prawn more energy efficient in bz

[eternal garnet]

not in survival

[errant eagle]

oh, thought i went to the other one, whoops

[eternal garnet]

put in one (optionally two) ion power cells, when you can

[chrome cedar]

Thermal module or ion power. Both help.

[unique jacinth]

Rip

[chrome cedar]

Even without the thermal module I rarely get terribly low on power. But I usually carry a spare power cell just in case.

[unique jacinth]

Where do I get ion

[chrome cedar]

You unlock it after scanning a number of alien artifacts. 6 I think?

[unique jacinth]

Guess I'll get to scannin'

[eternal garnet]

it's definitely... a number

[unique jacinth]

I love how they added songs to Subnautica in bz even though I only like 3-4

[eternal garnet]

on pc, the jukebox can play mp3s

[unique jacinth]

They added my favorite though

Don't hold your breath is great

Perimeter defense destroys threat of the celetirate or whatever it's called completely

Okay I think it's 5 unless caches aren't included then 4

[unique jacinth]

Storage module is a w are any others worth scanning or crafting

[formal lake]

Wassup

[unique jacinth]

What modules for seatruck are worth making

[eternal garnet]

storage, storage again, crafting, prawn dock
Maybe: sleeper (has jukebox), aquarium (catches nearby fish)

[unique jacinth]

Basically all in certain situations

[eternal garnet]

more equals slower tho

[unique jacinth]

I'm going to do storage, crafting,prawn or something like that

[unique jacinth]

I know

[carmine bobcat]

Hi people

[crude marlin]

Is there a limit?

last time i played bz was before the what the dock update

[mellow geode]

depends on how much patience you have

[fervent bloom]

There's no hard limit, as far as I know, but that doesn't mean it's convenient to have 20 modules...

[steel shoal]

The modules don't bend either, you'll be a very long straight line

Turning is super unsatisfying

[cinder lotus]

That was about 3 years ago but thank you!

[carmine bobcat]

Haha

[left marsh]

Like i say: its a seatrain..not seatruck

[eternal garnet]

trains bend, trucks generally do not

[left marsh]

Hmm fair

Though i meant train as in the sense its a long line

Though i gotta admit the name seatruck doesn’t slap as hard as seamoth but still works

[next current]

I dunno. To me, it's the other way around.

[static viper]

Where can i find battery charger fragments?

Can i find them in the mercury II bec i just found that

[eternal garnet]

I believe it's a base recipe, comes with builder tool

[static viper]

What about the 2nd O₂ tank ?

[eternal garnet]

High capacity, find it 120m down in twisty bridges by a small building

[static viper]

The spawn area ?

[eternal garnet]

just south of it

north is the volcano and the small moon

[static viper]

What volcano

Is it near delta station

[eternal garnet]

delta is also south, seen from your pod

location is north of delta

[static viper]

Im at delta station where do i go

[eternal garnet]

north, east a little bit. Find the canyon in twisty where it gets deep

[static viper]

The place where the alien guy is in the cube ? That trench

[eternal garnet]

yes

[static viper]

K

On my way

[eternal garnet]

same area at 170m, rebreather

by a little crane

[static viper]

I have rebrether

[chrome cedar]

Bigger O2 tank is nearby where you found the rebreather.

[static viper]

This little crane ?

[eternal garnet]

thats the rebreather spot

[static viper]

Im at the rebreather spot what now

[eternal garnet]

o2 is to the west

at 120m

[static viper]

West if the rebrether spot

[eternal garnet]

yes. Small tube. Scan window and builder tool

[static viper]

I went west of the rebrether spot and found this

[eternal garnet]

nice, but that not it. wait, let me find a map

Scan the planter

I was wrong. From rebreather, go north-east

[outer atlas]

Guys converting my game to the custom game mode is safe, or can it crash my save file?

[eternal garnet]

it's safe, but can't be undone

[outer atlas]

Ok thanks

Its cuz i want to change my game to the survival settings cuz im playing on the freedom mode

I play on switch aswell so i cant get achievements anyway

[mint wing]

I'm on hard-core vegetarian run rn

||cured the leviathan||

[next current]

Play without beacons as well. :)

[bold crown]

can you have multiple modules on the seatruck at once?

[eternal garnet]

yes. More than 100 of them. Don't do that

[bold crown]

also i didnt think i would run out of lead lol

[eternal garnet]

Speed drops from the third and up

[bold crown]

anyways i got the fabricator, docking, and storage modules

i think i want all 3 on them but idk

[eternal garnet]

yes. Docking has to go on the end, obviously

[bold crown]

i have to still make the storage and fabricator module

ran out of lead

[tacit thorn]

Does turn speed remain the same with 100 modules?
[imagines leviathan getting truck-slapped to death]

[eternal garnet]

oh not at all. Personally I had max 22

[steel shoal]

Where is the center of the rotation of a seatruck with 100 modules? Near the 50th module or the truck?

[tacit thorn]

they still take colision dmg tho, so probably would break before big fish.

It feels like middle on my 8 module one. makes turning in tight spots tricky

[fervent bloom]

I think it might be somewhere in between, but I'm not sure at all.

[pure marlin]

When my ||snowfox was on the dock, I noticed the text on it isn’t actually part of the bike|| so I thought that’s pretty cool

[oak geyser]

So sleeper fab and dock

Bam

[lone valley]

what does the thermos do

[fervent bloom]

It is used in conjunction with the coffee vending machine to create and store a beverage that can increase the player's heat.

[lone valley]

ohh

I tried to put filtered water in it

[odd grotto]

Is below zero actually fun? Because I played it once but only for like 10 minutes

Then never again

But I prefer Subanautica over it so far

[eternal garnet]

you are asking those who think so. So yes

[odd grotto]

You think below zero is better than the original?

[lone valley]

it's subnautica but I would say it's more story driven

[odd grotto]

But below zero is more land activity and more frozen there's a lot wierder mechanics as well

Also nothing can top originals backstory and the story it has tied with it

[eternal garnet]

BZ wins on some points. It's really beautiful. Jukebox

It's not really a competition tho

[odd grotto]

I just prefer the original over the sequel

[unique jacinth]

More story less time cheaper stuff but a few major improvements I say sequel is 9/10 original is 10/10

More enjoyable bases and creative also

[steel shoal]

The leviathans are gorgeous

[unique jacinth]

True I still prefer ghost over them all but other than that they are all a massive upgrade yes

[sonic forge]

if you die and lose items do they drop? can you find them if you return or are they deleted

just started bz today and drowned 😔

[eternal garnet]

items drop, never despawn. If you carry a beacon, that also drops, hint hint

Not all items drop. Only those new since last truck/home

[sonic forge]

i know

wait i was carrying a beacon ..

[eternal garnet]

on land tho, they tend to sink into the ground, sometimes

[sonic forge]

ill see tomorrow

[eternal garnet]

yup. it should rename to "dropped beacon", so just go there

[unique jacinth]

is there a way without crafting junkebox to know what songs I have

[eternal garnet]

I don't know one

there's base jukebox, and one in the sleeper module

[unique jacinth]

Guess I'll just see if I got don't hold your breath

By going to the area

[odd grotto]

Oops wrong thing

Sorry I had that on my clipboard :/

[unique jacinth]

Music

Finally

[fervent bloom]

That can tend to happen... where did the unfortunate event occur?

[eternal garnet]

right next to her beacon, so it'll be fine

[unique jacinth]

I love the junkebox

It's ever so fire addition

[fervent bloom]

I wasn't worried, just curious.

[violet pebble]

definently not

[unique jacinth]

Almost

[violet pebble]

below zero focused more on the story

but for me personally the originial is better

[steel shoal]

BZ base building is amazing, I like it a lot

[unique jacinth]

Yeah it's better in that capacity

[fervent bloom]

Do crashfish ever attack creatures other than the player, such as brute sharks?

[steel shoal]

I don't think so

[unique jacinth]

Unfortunately it is way more straightforward on what to do instead of direct hints kinda thing in my opinion you don't really have to read or explore as much because it'll give you it pretty much through beacon or waypoint

[fervent bloom]

The reason I ask is because I heard the noise and explosion and found an empty plant, but I wasn't nearby and definitely didn't have line-of-sight. There was a brute shark nearby, so I wasn't sure.

[unique jacinth]

I really liked having to just figure out stuff cluelessly with hints that tell you what to do but not generally how or vaguely

[sonic forge]

not sure, around where you get the signal that's 200m deep or something, i saw some alien structure stuff and found truck fragments

[fervent bloom]

Oxygen plants are helpful, but not always enough.

[unique jacinth]

Brain coral but more common

Anyway rebreather is op honestly

[sonic forge]

yeah, couldn't find enough this time

[chrome cedar]

I’m always amused by folks that drop in here and dump on BZ. 😂

[balmy zenith]

sorry, I know this might not be the first time someone say this, but I think it needs to be repeated

the issue with below Zero, is Alan

and margeret

subnautica is all being alone,

BZ is all company and friends, so it makes the area less stressfull, just knowing there are others to talk to

[eternal garnet]

I have heard that argument. I know some people don't like it. I assure you it's not the majority

[balmy zenith]

both games have waypoints and markers, but only BZ has someone telling you that he remembered something or a person who can share information and tools

[unique jacinth]

It's not bad just has flaws

[balmy zenith]

also, since alan is inside you, the sea monkeys gift you things instead of taking from you, so one of the mayor dificulties in the game gets negated almost inmediatly

[unique jacinth]

They are barely in it so I disagree with that

[eternal garnet]

It's not objectively a problem. It's your opinion

[unique jacinth]

They are totally fine alan would be better if they could only get a general area but it's fine

I honestly will live with it they are basically the lifepods but more important

[balmy zenith]

it is a problem if you try to see below zero as a game in the same genre as subnautica, the lonelyness is key for the feeling of stranding, if you find a place with someone who can tell what it was used for, you don´t have to explore it or try to understand it, just check it in the list of things done

[unique jacinth]

Margarita is so brief. Alan is a core component of the story so y'know you just have to live with it I suppose

[cobalt vector]

imagine a version where it's just the plot of the original game but in sector zero

[eternal garnet]

that would not get great reviews

[cobalt vector]

oh

well, im just an idiot anyway. of course i have bad ideas lol

[chrome cedar]

BZ is set on the same world, same universe. It’s a totally different game otherwise.

People that expected it to be a sequel were misguided.

[chrome cedar]

Apologies, but this has struck a nerve with me. I love both games differently. And I’m still annoyed that the opinions of others kept me from experiencing BZ sooner, it’s absolutely become my favorite game.

[bold crown]

it might just be me but i found it really easy to miss stuff in below zero

i dont think i had the problem with the first game

like i missed an entire stinkin map on the delta island (still dont know how to use it tho)

[steel stream]

And yet so many players cry for multiplayer option...

[unique jacinth]

I like the original more but bz ain't far behind they are both amazing games

[warped patio]

i think subnautica is a 10 and bz is like a 6 or a 7 still both good though

[carmine bobcat]

One way to find the Architect peices that I use is just exploring random caves, like lots of them contain Architect pieces to find earlier than your supposed to

[balmy zenith]

is not a bad game, i love it as it is, but is not the same feeling

[carmine bobcat]

1st game in my opinion captures that surreal feeling of being completely alone on an entire planet. You're basically a one-man survivalist soloing a near totally unexplored frontier. There are bits and pieces of a much larger picture but overall your experience on planet 4546B is a total mystery.
The 2nd is much more story driven, accompanied by the more upbeat choice in soundtrack, the player is on a mission to uncover yet another mystery on 4546B. One that is much more personal to the character you're playing as. I wouldn't say the situation isn't as dire as the first game but the circumstances to your survival are certainly different.

[sullen vapor]

unfortunately due to the ||swisscheese of plot holes|| it's essentially revealed that ||sam had schizophrenia||

[carmine bobcat]

Wait fr?

Sam had Jerma syndrome?

Yeah can we fact check this?

thanks ignis x

[mint wing]

Yeah it's not exactly on top of where the beacon is

[gentle dome]

why me cannot build this here?

is it because i have bioreactor there?

[runic river]

that shouldn't happen, the bioreactor takes up the middle

[gentle dome]

it's because of the glass somehow

[runic river]

dang

do you have the glass to make it?

[gentle dome]

yes but not enough hull strengh

i don't have lithium atm

[runic river]

oh ok

[gentle dome]

where can i get lead

and where can i get lithium

[runic river]

hold let me think

lead from the galena outcrops and lithium from the purple vents

[steel shoal]

Lead and lithium are in Thermal Spires near Delta

[gentle dome]

ok thx

[gentle dome]

to spoopy

it have leviathan iirc

i saw some people do complete playthrough more than a year ago

this my first time playing so don't give me spoilers :>

[steel shoal]

The leviathan is near the edge of the biome, you don't have to worry about it

[gentle dome]

ooo

i just relized you can create upgrades on the fabricator and not on the vehicle upgrade console

[runic river]

i think they changed that

[gentle dome]

or is it because i made the vehicle upgrade somsole

[steel shoal]

Only thing the VUC does now is change name/color

[gentle dome]

butiful

wowiee the arm roars when it punches

how deep does seatruck mk1 goes

[gentle dome]

i came to the mining place for lead and iron thingi for base reinforcement

and i got many many diamonds and ruby

suffering from success 🗿

[real phoenix]

no, theres a panel behind it

[gentle dome]

the panel can create stuff that is creatable in the fabricator

[steel shoal]

The panel is redundant

[steel stream]

Yes, you can craft vehicle upgrades with it, but you can also craft them in normal fabricator (or seatruck fabricator module), so the main usage for vuc is to change name and color of your vehicles

[real phoenix]

oh, thought this was #subnautica-chat

sorry.

[bold crown]

guys where do i make the ||architect components||

[steel stream]

Fabricator caverns, deepest part of the map

[bold crown]

ok so i am still not at that stage yet

also i feel like progression suddenly stopped, im not getting any new locations and i have no idea what i should be looking for rn, the last major piece of progression i did was ||exploring the place after you repair the bridge||

[next current]

I absolutely refuse to use the normal Fabricator to make vehicle upgrades. XD

[chrome cedar]

The game doesn’t spoon feed you beacons. Exploration is the theme for the game, you have to poke around in nooks and crannies to find things.

[bold crown]

but like it should atleast give me a hint for roughly what im looking for right?

[chrome cedar]

What body parts have you unlocked?

[bold crown]

the first 2

[unique jacinth]

It's so convenient though

[chrome cedar]

Nope.

[bold crown]

also i still dont know how to read the map from delta island lmao

[chrome cedar]

So you’re missing the organs?

[bold crown]

can't check rn maybe

[unique jacinth]

Anyway

[bold crown]

unless i completely skipped a major part of progression

[unique jacinth]

I would say that exploration is almost as good with the artifacts basically being the lifepods

[bold crown]

which i wouldn't be surprised at

[next current]

I like to make the game hell for myself. Just like how I don't play with beacons anymore.

[chrome cedar]

You’ll need to dive deep for that, and to build them. Deepest part of the map, and somewhat dangerous. Gotta explore down there.

[bold crown]

i accidentally glitched into the void lol

[chrome cedar]

I’d recommend a small base to recharge while you’re there.

[bold crown]

i was on an island and i somehow went up an area that was probably not supposed to be reachable

[next current]

The Tundra Void? :D

[unique jacinth]

Can you build in bz void or not really like Subnautica

[next current]

It's like SN1.

Although it would've been even easier if wall-mounted foundations weren't cut from the game.

[unique jacinth]

Rip

Wall mounted foundations were great for void buildings

[next current]

Yeah. And other places in the world like the Tree Spires.

[chrome cedar]

Interesting, I have no idea what those looked like. I only played the two games after release.

[unique jacinth]

I guess we just have to start on the edge and build out

[bold crown]

can sea monkeys give you nickel

[unique jacinth]

Don't think so

[eternal garnet]

yes! but not up north

[bold crown]

oh they can

i just got one from them

thats cool

[eternal garnet]

deep lilypads is the best spot for them. You don't need many

[bold crown]

yeah im there rn

im trying to find the afterburner thing idk if its good

[eternal garnet]

pretty nice, hardly vital

[unique jacinth]

Guys I'm going to make the seatruck dock

And maybe a second seatruck...

[unique jacinth]

And two modules for it

[left marsh]

Afterburner is a good item to have considering how slow seatruck can get

[unique jacinth]

I only use 3 modules maz

Max*

[unique jacinth]

What is the best renewable plantable bio fuel

[eternal garnet]

pepper fruit, growing in a pot right next to it

[left marsh]

Same bur afterburner is still nice to have

[sonic forge]

can i just take the stuff at the delta base thing or will she mind

[eternal garnet]

you can take

[sonic forge]

k

[unique jacinth]

I have two seatrucks let's go

[wise bone]

I've imprisoned myself in the MBV, I cannot move, unstuck or open my PDA

[unique jacinth]

Rip

[sonic forge]

i got jumpscared so bad by the cutscene when she appeared 😭 its so weird seeing other people

[unique jacinth]

Anyway i love my base

[unique jacinth]

She won't kill you

[wise bone]

nvm saving and reloading fixed it lol

[unique jacinth]

|| I made 2 seatrucks
1 is for exploration and practicality
2 is for just driving because why shouldn't I
1: fabricator storage docking
2: aquarium sleeper ||

Rate my build

[sonic forge]

also i found all my stuff floating where i drowned :) beacon indeed worked
i was so close to the surface it was funny

looking for vehicle bay fragments next

[unique jacinth]

Rip it errored while saving

Well time to redo all that eventually

[tight thunder]

Is there any way to bypass the RAM requirement for BZ? My laptop only has 4GB of RAM, but I own BZ and want to play it. The game won't even launch.

[chrome cedar]

Good plan.

[chrome cedar]

Any chance you can increase the ram? Also do your other specs meet the requirements for the game?

[unique jacinth]

I have to rebuild second truck and everything else eventually it errored

Luckily everything in this game is cheap

[tight thunder]

I'm not able to increase the ram unfortunately, it's soldered to the motherboard with no extra slots. Also I'm pretty sure my other specs meet the requirements for the game.

[chrome cedar]

Gotcha. Not sure if there is any workaround…. Someone else may know though.

[tight thunder]

Okay

[eternal garnet]

Sorry, I think if it launched, it would run terribly. Unplayable

[tight thunder]

Alright

[eternal garnet]

in fact Google chrome is unusable on 4G

[tight thunder]

works for me

[bold crown]

i still can't find the seatruck afterburner upgrade

i literally randomly found an alien piece and still can't find the afterburner

im in the right area right?

[chrome cedar]

My usual plan is to build a scanner room nearby and search for fragments. Plenty of other good resources there too to search for.

[bold crown]

nvm i finally found it

managed to find 9 nickel ores before finding the afterburner

i just ran into an entire family of pengwings

and tailwhipped a seamonkey with my seatruck

i think my seatruck is basically maxed out now

[steel shoal]

You can put multiple afterburners and chain them

[fervent bloom]

Does a ||quantum locker|| have the same amount of space as a waterproof locker?

[fervent bloom]

Also, are released creatures intended to despawn eventually? I believe I've had something like that happen with a brute shark and a pinnacarid.

[dark zealot]

i went to and scanned all of these and ||Alan hasn't said anything else or where to go. I've cured the frozen leviathon, helped old lady out by overiding the satelite, and have gone to every research location besides zero|| how do i progress?

[steel shoal]

Go deeeep

[eternal garnet]

note the salad recipe you got in a greenhouse. Super good
What body parts have you scanned?

Those are main story progress

[dark zealot]

Ive scanned ||torso||

[eternal garnet]

no such part. Skeleton?

[dark zealot]

same difference

[steel shoal]

Probably tissue

[dark zealot]

no skellie

[steel shoal]

Oh

[eternal garnet]

k. Go, as said, deeeep, and also north in the cold part, across the bridge

When you get close, ||alan|| speaks

[steel shoal]

Take a look at the Alterra Facilities map in your PDA. There's an area you haven't explored yet

[dark zealot]

||outpost zero||

[eternal garnet]

that one has no body parts

[dark zealot]

thats the only one i havent gone too

[steel shoal]

That's a good start, but also all the land part up North

[eternal garnet]

remember the bridge? North side has one

[dark zealot]

exploring the frozen waste?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[dark zealot]

[eternal garnet]

to make that quicker, I have a map. Walk the east side up to minimize... er... monsters

[dark zealot]

question can u get stalker fur from no longer alive stalkers and do the bodies despawn?

[eternal garnet]

you can, but you need the pengi bot. Yes they probably despawn

[dark zealot]

drill arm prawnsuit moment

[eternal garnet]

You can also get it from a live one

In the far south of the basin, just south of the lake, there's a cave with fur on the floor

heat sources: prawn, any vehicle, open water, caves, pepper fruit, steam vents, coffee

[steel shoal]

And me 😎

[muted dune]

Can you lose tools like knife, seaglide, scanner etc when you die?

[eternal garnet]

no

you drop only new items since last base / truck. Plus one beacon, if you have. This is a tip

(carry a beacon)

[muted dune]

/truck?

[eternal garnet]

seatruck. The main vehicle. Early game

[muted dune]

Ohh

Wait

Im so sorry I'm in the below zero chat, I'm playing original subnautica

[muted dune]

Does this apply in original too?

[fervent bloom]

Don't forget lantern fruit, though they're hardly the most convenient heat source...

[eternal garnet]

yes, except beacons don't drop

[eternal garnet]

ew, those taste like kerosene

[muted dune]

KK thanku thank u

[fervent bloom]

What makes you think so? I feel like they would be very wet, but since they give very little to no water, I would guess somewhat meaty and firm (no pun intended).

[eternal garnet]

kerosene - lantern fuel?

[fervent bloom]

Okay, I guess I was taking that a little too seriously.

[light cargo]

I've wondered for a very long time, does anyone else experience their head getting caught when walking under ceiling windows?

in corridors, if there is a window on the roof i get stuck under it for a second

[dark zealot]

time to go through the ||shadow leviathon||

[eternal garnet]

I.... never tried to put a window there

[light cargo]

it looks so nice yet it infuriates me

and i can never find anyone mention it online

[steel shoal]

It must be something exclusive to T compartments, my I compartments don't have that issue

[light cargo]

ill test them out

[fervent bloom]

For a while, I didn't know that you could put them at the end of corridors.

[eternal garnet]

You don't have to build so it looks like inside a small submarine

[light cargo]

Lol

[light cargo]

you're right, its purely a t-compartment bug

[steel shoal]

Thanks for the heads-up, I will never build a T compartment now! (kidding)

[light cargo]

Lol

I use them too frequently, ive been annoyed by this since before the games release

[fervent bloom]

What compartments do you use most frequently? I make the heaviest use of T-, X-, and glass I-compartments.

[light cargo]

Same

[steel shoal]

I use large rooms, I'm a bit claustrophobic

[light cargo]

I find that i can never fill them up enough

[unique jacinth]

Well time to remake charge fins
A seatruck and two modules
Heavy capacity tank I accidentally made booster tank
And 2 seatruck docks

[light cargo]

they always look too empty

same with the multipurpose room

[fervent bloom]

I'm guessing you are not a huge fan of the Arctic Kelp Caves, then. Also, I don't usually do too much building inside compartments.

[unique jacinth]

This could take some time

At least I now know where||omega|| lab is

And I know I made the wrong tank

[fervent bloom]

I felt the same way, but I included one since @steel shoal likes them, and it turned out well. I would really suggest the partitions, and also that you don't try to fill up too much at once.

[light cargo]

i hate the glass roof on the large room, the partitions dont reach it and it REALLY bugs me

But on a survival save i do typically do one large room if i can

power generators and storage rooms

growbeds, stuff like that

[steel shoal]

I should share what I've been doing under Christy, but in the meanwhile, check this large room decor from SN #🏠awesome-bases message You can fill them up nicely

[light cargo]

yeah no way could i get it that good

Damn you're creative

i personally sometimes like to go on a creative save and use commands to spawn a bunch of stuff like water bottles and tools to liven it up

[light cargo]

i think i might have actually gotten a similarly detailed base once but its lost in my dozens of saves

similar but not quite so good lol

[unique jacinth]

I just realized I only need 1 Dock few

Phew*

[steel shoal]

In Subnautica, you can use the propulsion cannon through moonpools for it, but it was patched in Below Zero

[light cargo]

damn

my favorite bug they patched was the leaky base super seaglide glitch

I could go from the surface to the lava zone

in the OG subnautica

[steel shoal]

I've never tried it, I only found out shortly after it got fixed

[light cargo]

damn

I just used it for fun though lol, or once when i accidentally left my seamoth on the other side of the map

[steel shoal]

I wonder what is the button for Booster Tank

I've spammed my controls and didn't get any speed boost

[unique jacinth]

What are you on and why are you using it

[light cargo]

??

[steel shoal]

I am on PS4, and I'm using it because I got it and would like to give it a try

[unique jacinth]

It gives you a thirty second minor boost and I haven't played ps so sorry can't help

Actually no it uses 30-40 seconds of oxygen for a small boost not 30 seconds of boost

[steel shoal]

It uses oxygen for a boost, it's faster than seaglide, I think

But I can't find the correct key, maybe it's 2 at once

[unique jacinth]

I'm redoing my progress because I lost it due to unfortunate error

[steel shoal]

It was the universe giving you a second chance to do it better

[unique jacinth]

Right as I was saving of course

[steel shoal]

Of course

[unique jacinth]

I'm just going to do the same thing a second time then do something else

Because I do need everything I made

Almost halfway done

[unique jacinth]

Maybe

[fervent bloom]

I thought you had already used it.

[unique jacinth]

I just need seaglide and a second perimeter defense

Sea charge*

Almost done with one

[unique jacinth]

can you find salt deposits in the DLC || deep lillypad caves ||

Nope

I got all my progress and saved with no error

[indigo mantle]

i dont understand how to make bases. it wont let me attach anything to my multipurpose room

[unique jacinth]

It might be to enclosed and only 4 parts let you attach and can't attach through reinforcements

[steel stream]

Do you have something unfinished inside it?

[unique jacinth]

Does horsepower upgrade stack

[next current]

No.

[indigo mantle]

no

[unique jacinth]

Guess I'll just get afterburner next

[indigo mantle]

i dont have any reinforcements on 😞

[unique jacinth]

Well anything near the wall fabricator,stuff on floor close to wall

[unique jacinth]

Alright I made more progress

I'm done for the night but it's coming together

[unique jacinth]

My prawn looks gold

[violet pebble]

lighting

[unique jacinth]

No just coloring

Can I get||kyanite|| in purple cave

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[unique jacinth]

Where do I get nickel btw

[bold monolith]

Same place, you also have Lilypads crevices and Deep Lilypads.

[unique jacinth]

Alright I'm near all those so finding 5 should be easy

Also if I have prawn attached to truck and I remove depth module will it still crush or will it not cause attached to module

[bold monolith]

I never remember the answer to this question. I remember testing it.

I think it doesn't have crush damage but I am not sure.

[steel stream]

I tested and prawn docked in seatruck essentially has no crush depth (as long as it remains docked).

[unique jacinth]

Which has the most

[steel stream]

I practically had to do it because my save was bugged and upon loading the save the prawn sometimes had the upgrades and whole upgrade panel missing...so I had to remove all upgrades every time I saved, and when loading the save, first thing was to check if I could install upgrades to prawn or not. If not, then I just quit and reloaded until the upgrades were working. However, if I had any upgrades installed when saving, I could lose them upon reload (lost depth, drill and jump jet to this before starting to remove upgrades before saving)

[bold monolith]

Crystal cave / the cave below it has a lot. But you can also find seamonkeys in the crevices that will give you nickel.

[bold monolith]

I know this bug is still around somehow. At some point it was triggered by having a docked Prawn Suit with ion powercells.

[unique jacinth]

I need to be careful but I'm going to bring prawn out where shadow lurks

[bold monolith]

I don't think we have proper reproduction steps for it now.

[unique jacinth]

Hopefully it doesn't get me ig

[bold monolith]

As once it's triggered it will always come back. We need to know how what causes it the first time.

[unique jacinth]

Is there anything useful other than nickel in crystal cave

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[unique jacinth]

Should I make a base in the caves

Y'know what I am I think I should be able to get things for a thermal plant

[carmine bobcat]

Did we ever get a fact check for this?

Long time subbnautica fan and I'm genuinely curious

[bold monolith]

That's their interpretation.

[unique jacinth]

How many hits from shadow levitatian can a prawn take

[bold monolith]

Two or three.

[unique jacinth]

So if I consistently save and if it grabs instantly repair I should be good right

[bold monolith]

It deals between 40 and 50 damage to a Prawn Suit during its timeline. I estimated the timeline, the time it grabs you to be around 5 seconds. So between 40 * 5 and 50 * 5 each second.

The Prawn Suit has 600 HP, you only see a percentage.

[unique jacinth]

does it let go sooner if I drill it

[unique jacinth]

I have 2 maxed out as needed trucks
And 1 maxed prawn that's pretty good right

I got crystal and twisted bridges base now thing's are coming together I just need to ||find two more of Alan and craft them||

[marsh pulsar]

pretty sure that the cooldown occurs on all of them, not just one

[frigid orchid]

I love how the scanables are spread across the map in hidden places

[steel shoal]

You can only use one after burner at a time

The cooldown is not shared

[gentle dome]

where can i get lithium

[steel stream]

Purple vents

[gentle dome]

very spoopy

where can i get prawn grapling arm?

[steel stream]

Monkey nests in lilypads

[gentle dome]

there's no kelp forrest around lilypads tho

[fervent bloom]

Sea monkeys don't live only in the Kelp Forest.

[gentle dome]

oo

so where is that place?

tree spires?

[fervent bloom]

It's near the ||Tree Spires||, but it's a different biome. The ||Pilot's Last Known Location|| signal should lead you there.

[gentle dome]

oo

[fervent bloom]

You can also find the ultra high capacity tank, Prawn suit thermal reactor module, Seatruck afterburner upgrade, and Seatruck horsepower upgrade there.

[gentle dome]

thx

[gentle dome]

is it ||margurits base|| there?

[twilit laurel]

Where are the parts for the suit

[fervent bloom]

Yes, that's also nearby.

[gentle dome]

i found it in mining place thingi near delta station

[twilit laurel]

K

Ty

[fervent bloom]

They can be found in ||Koppa Mining Site||, at ||Outpost Zero||, and in the ||Lilypad Islands Mercury II wreckage||.

[gentle dome]

after 8 hours+ of playing i just relize iforgot to make laser cutter

i'm still in early game i think

[fervent bloom]

Did you know that you can find laser cutter fragments in the Twisty Bridges?

[twilit laurel]

How do i get spiral plant clippiny

[gentle dome]

yes i have it

just gota make it

[next current]

And the ||Phi Excavation Site.||

[gentle dome]

iirc big squid thing in tree spires

[fervent bloom]

Oh, that's a good point. I still feel like the player should be able to use the intact one, though...

[twilit laurel]

Can i get a mapm

[gentle dome]

https://subnauticamap.io/

simple map

[next current]

I think it's missing a leg. (Could be wrong tho)

[gentle dome]

https://mapgenie.io/subnautica-below-zero/maps/

[fervent bloom]

They are found in mature ||Ventgardens|| in the ||Tree Spires||, like ITSTIMOTHY999 said, or in the ||Deep Purple Vents||.

[gentle dome]

better but complicated map

[fervent bloom]

I remember it standing up, so I would guess it has both legs.

[gentle dome]

just call me timothy or tim loll

[fervent bloom]

Okay, I will do so.

[twilit laurel]

I dont understand either bruh

[fervent bloom]

I'm soon to get a gold trivalve buddy...

[twilit laurel]

Im at the last one is it inside?

[unique jacinth]

Okay||crystal cave base|| done fire area I need to get growbeds down there though

[carmine bobcat]

||just checked those mercury 2 logs and somehow managed to guess (possibility)one of the crew religion lol||

[fervent bloom]

There are two; one is outside but not easily visible, and the other is just inside nearby.

[frozen ether]

wut

[twilit laurel]

It doesnt work i keep hitting it with a knife

[steel shoal]

The ventgarden, or the plants inside?

[chrome cedar]

Must swim inside from the bottom.

[twilit laurel]

Ventgarden

[twilit laurel]

Bruh

Ty

[carmine bobcat]

||Marguerit Maida lived off of the battered remains of a Reaper leviathan she had killed herself, it is stated she ate the flesh of it. After being killed and eaten by numerous leviathan-class predators myself, I'd love to see how they taste.||

[steel shoal]

||She confirms it wasn't pleasant||

[chrome cedar]

She obviously didn’t have access to a smoker and some good BBQ sauce…

It’s no wonder she was crazing a salad.

[carmine bobcat]

The salad in below zero goes so hard

Legit better food than peepers

If you ate nothing but fish, rice, fruits and vegetables and you swam all the time you'd be built like the Ghost of Tsushima

[steel shoal]

I don't know what that is

Peepers are okay food, arrow rays are much better, but nothing compares to the salad

Very spicy, very good

[chrome cedar]

Would be nice if the next game has wasabi, and some rice…

[steel shoal]

And some juice

Water is a boring drink

[carmine bobcat]

Just consume raw bladderfish

[carmine bobcat]

Also the salad or Tsushima?

[steel shoal]

The second

[carmine bobcat]

Well Tsushima is an island Northwest of the Japanese mainland and Southeast of South Korea.
The "Ghost" of Tsushima is both a video game and the nickname of the game's protagonist, "Lord Jin Sakai."
The video game is loosely based on real events that took place during the year 1274, during the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushima.

[unique jacinth]

@steel shoal what is your favorite biome in bz as there are so many good ones mines is crystal cave

[carmine bobcat]

Personally mine is definitely the lily pads or the vents

[steel shoal]

I like the Twisty Bridges

[unique jacinth]

My main base is there

[tacit thorn]

Hard to decide. Arctic (land) would be nice, if not the company...
I think my favorite place (will) be 8 kilometers under the map, where nobody and nothing bothers me.

[carmine bobcat]

My first base was twisty bridges

Unfortunately this was back during early access and the world got compromised

So it's lost in the void

I like the idea of building a base in the twisty bridges and have it lead down into the deep twisty bridges

I haven't tried that yet but if I ever play the game again I may do that

[unique jacinth]

I might make void base 2.0

[chrome cedar]

I love the icebergs in the Northwest area. Clear water, great for bases.

I like room to spread out…. lol

[wise bone]

what is the coordinates of these?

[tacit thorn]

on dry land. If you explore, you will find a room with drillable cube blobs. bring your Titan with you, Pilot!

[eternal garnet]

No coords, but map. left side

[wise bone]

alright thanks

[oak geyser]

Does that have the ||cure|| marked on it
Also that was great when I went through the place I used that and it made it much more fun

[eternal garnet]

it does

[oak geyser]

Where is it?

Is it the blue X?

[eternal garnet]

uh. I completely misread that. No, the cure is south of the bridge. Marked ||on the Phi map|| by Sam

bridge is south end in this

[oak geyser]

So it is in the area or not?

[eternal garnet]

this area, no

Glacial basin, yes

[oak geyser]

Aahh
So now I need to explore for a totally random small hole in the ground

[eternal garnet]

sam marked the spot

somewhere. And said so in a PDA in Zero

[oak geyser]

Hmm okay

[eternal garnet]

details in my spoiler above

[unique jacinth]

Hmmm should I make a third truck for teather tool...

[sonic forge]

is the habitat builder on the delta station island

[unique jacinth]

Yeah you can find it there

[eternal garnet]

yes, on top, outside a door

[unique jacinth]

You could have just let them find it themselves knowing it's there

Then again they might not really care for unnecessary exploring

[fervent bloom]

I don't know if this is relevant, but it only works with the oldest powered ||teleportation|| module.

[unique jacinth]

I know

[fervent bloom]

I was only trying to prevent you from making one and not accomplishing what you wanted - thank you for clarifying, though.

[sonic forge]

ok good, cause i just ran around everywhere and couldn't find it even w the mineral detector 😔

[chrome cedar]

That would be a fourth truck for me if I did that. 😂. Pity we can’t just fabricate an alien archway inside our base.

[unique jacinth]

True

[tacit thorn]

Does anyone know:

1. do lab bred rock punchers mine rocks
2. What kind of surface do I have to drop them on to start mining?

[fervent bloom]

I do not know the answer to the first question, though my guess is that they do. Flat ground is probably the best choice, as I've never seen one excavating elsewhere.

I'd be extremely curious to know your results; it's something that I've been thinking about for a while.

[tacit thorn]

prawn cant pick rock puncher excavated rocks, that sucks

[fervent bloom]

I wonder whether the scanner room picks them up.

[unique jacinth]

I don't know what to do anymore cause I don't really feel like finding body parts so I'll continue playing bz and sn later

[tacit thorn]

build pretty bases. stripmine whole map.

or try to kill all the fish in the sae, that one is fun

The one I brought is smaller and does not dig, perhaps it needs to grow up?

[fervent bloom]

I don't believe they will grow more, so ones raised in containment might not know how to dig up rocks.

[thick shadow]

What how

Why were he got in there is no hole or something

[eternal garnet]

it happens. You have a pet fish!

[tacit thorn]

funny glitch, it happens

[thick shadow]

I gues i got him and i build him a tank "home"

[fervent bloom]

I've seen the same thing happen, but without a dock or moonpool.

[thick shadow]

He's happy now

[tacit thorn]

not true. he needs a date

[fervent bloom]

What would you say is the best place for a gold trivalve to live, other than outside a base?

[tacit thorn]

I am not the best person to answer 😊
[you can make out the 'bio samples' label in background]

[tacit thorn]

8 hours of sleep, still smol.
Guess I'll get myself busy for couple ingame hours. Perhaps move these crates to my base?

One done, twenty to go 😂

Does the grav gun have any 'rotate object' capabilities?

[eternal garnet]

noe

[tacit thorn]

do these crates fall through sea floor? Wondering if I can just shoot them in general direction instead of walking

[eternal garnet]

should not

[tacit thorn]

I think they do, just lost one

also lol, just found a builder fragment

[tacit thorn]

Wish I could say I neatly stacked the crates, but lets stay with 'stacked'

[thick shadow]

He got one same as he some bumerang fish was in my base 🤣

[thick shadow]

Is that not near the void ? Or like the game name's it dead zone ?

[tacit thorn]

nah, next to delta, a stone toss from secret mine

[fervent bloom]

I wonder if any other fish can end up in bases. I've seen two hoopfish and a boomerang in total.

[thick shadow]

Ah you mean south from the delta right ?

[tacit thorn]

slept second time and uncher still small.

[thick shadow]

Hope not some shark thing oh hell no

[fervent bloom]

I think hatched creatures are typically smaller than wild counterparts, probably because they're still young.

[thick shadow]

Its a good plase you can finde there some lithium uranium diamonds rubys gold because of the lava cave near a gigant thing

[tacit thorn]

I want titanium. tons of titanium

[thick shadow]

Ummm near the base bridge near a artefakt on land (ice) thear are some titanium like broks with the crab you can farm them

[tacit thorn]

crab?

[thick shadow]

The robot thing

[tacit thorn]

I've already stripped that area bare

[thick shadow]

In german thry name thrm Krebs

[tacit thorn]

Its prawn suit in english version

[thick shadow]

This bridge

[thick shadow]

Realy

Oh🤣

[tacit thorn]

"Panzerkampfrustung mk IV' 😂

[thick shadow]

If you whant to farm huge amount of diamonds fix the bridge go over it and on the other sinde is a diamond mine, not deao but with the (prawn suit) you can farm them without the suit you can't farm them

[thick shadow]

You miss the ü in rüstung

[tacit thorn]

Can't type it, not german keyboard.

[tacit thorn]

Already stripmined 95% of the map, now following rock punchers to grab the rocks...

[thick shadow]

Im like that one guy who build a huge base an then in the late lategame i build it in a other biom like subnautica one first at the spawn an then by the living tree 🤣

[tacit thorn]

I wanted to be smart and built mine next to delta, because It will be close to everything.

and lava spots for thermal pow

[thick shadow]

This tree

[thick shadow]

Build on the south side from the delta island there shold be no creatures who whant to destroy you're vehicle's

Be carefull of this one shold be near around

[tacit thorn]

I'm on the safe side of island, never had any problems. except the seamonkeys

[thick shadow]

Why shold they be a problem the only stole titanium from me that one time just don't hold anything in you'r hand around the seemonkeys

Imagine they stole a ruby from you

[steel shoal]

They gift you items instead of stealing if you have a certain someone...

[thick shadow]

They do ? I thought they only steal you'r stuff

[tacit thorn]

worse, they stole my only builder tool.

[thick shadow]

Oh f 🤣

[tacit thorn]

such offense is never forgiven

[thick shadow]

And they like hihi catch me

[tacit thorn]

They are so annoying I got a mod to stop them from interacting with me, at all.

[steel shoal]

||Having Al-An in your head makes them bring stuff. There's a 50% chance of them bringing materials for your pinned recipes||

[tacit thorn]

They were so annoying I asked modder to specifically disable that behaviour too. Is that a definition of introverted?

[steel shoal]

That is probably it

[tacit thorn]

annoying = swimming in your face when youre building a hatch at 9 oxygen

[chrome cedar]

Wrong time to be building something…

[tacit thorn]

I have 60 seconds of oxygen, and I am going to use them all!

[unique jacinth]

Samo

[wise bone]

is there a limit to the amount of seatruck modules I can have?

[steel shoal]

I'll delete that and allow Tigrinum to answer it

Continue, little friend

[eternal garnet]

We have not found a limit, but speed drops more the more you have

[wise bone]

as long as it moves that's good enough for me

[fervent bloom]

There's no hard limit, but that doesn't mean that it works well to have 15-20 modules.

[eternal garnet]

turning also becomes a little challenging over 20

[wise bone]

I refuse to make multiple trips while moving my base to somewhere else so I've got 6 storage modules

[fervent bloom]

Even three or four can significantly increase how many fish you can hit when turning, as well.

[eternal garnet]

Those lockers aren't big are they

[steel shoal]

A simple person, I see

[wise bone]

not big at all :(

[wise bone]

indeed

[steel shoal]

I could've put at least 6 large lockers in that module

[bold crown]

why would anyone need more than 3 modules lol

also i found the ecological dead zone and i died

[steel shoal]

Well, I love the truck, and I love the modules

I always have at least 5

[wise bone]

truck

[bold crown]

truk

i just have a storage, fabircator, and a dock on my truck

plenty enough for what i need to do

[wise bone]

now I just need a good spot for a base

[bold crown]

also i feel like my progression in the game suddenly became really slow

[steel shoal]

I like to have aquariums

[wise bone]

i like to have the sleeper module too

[bold crown]

im trying to find new things but i dont know where to search for them

i also can't read the map on the delta island

[steel shoal]

Maybe you already have an objective, but forgot about it

Have you visited all facilities in the map?

[bold crown]

i can't read the map lol

[steel shoal]

Why?

[bold crown]

idk how it works

[steel shoal]

It's in your PDA

[bold crown]

i dont know where i am relative to the locations

i can see the map i just dont know how to read it

[steel shoal]

You find it in Delta Station

It's more or less in the middle of the map

You can use it as reference point

You can also guess the location of the pod in that map based on its position relative to the station

[wise bone]

anyone know any? 🥺

[eternal garnet]

purple vents near delta.
Lilypads.
Tree spires.
South end of twisty bridges
Wherever, make sure you have room to grow

[fervent bloom]

I might recommend the Twisty Bridges, ||Lilypad Islands||, ||Tree Spires||, and Purple Vents; Meatie's definitely on the right track.

[indigo mantle]

wait so

do all the structures in my base need to be above a floor/rock/something in order to be plaved?

[eternal garnet]

yes, for the legs

[indigo mantle]

ah that explains why i couldnt attach anything to my multipurpose room in twisty spires.. it was right on the edge of a cliffside and there was no solid room on the sides

[fervent bloom]

However, you can build out over open water once you have something connected to the ground.

[indigo mantle]

oh what

[eternal garnet]

if you want to build higher, place a foundation on top of a foundation as high as it will go

[fervent bloom]

Wait, you can do that? I thought foundations couldn't be placed above anything else.

[eternal garnet]

no?

I'm not sure

[indigo mantle]

i was tryna branch out to the sides over open water but it wouldnt let me attach anything to my multipurpisenroom

[eternal garnet]

that should work actually

[indigo mantle]

ya idk why it wasnt

[fervent bloom]

That could be because you have things inside, or because it's not rotated correctly.

[indigo mantle]

i removed things on the sides and rotated it multiple times

it didnt go green at all. i could send a pic if that helps?

[fervent bloom]

Sure, that sounds great.

[chrome cedar]

Sadly this doesn’t work, if you have a foundation placed you can’t put another directly above or below it, regardless of the height difference. Possibly related, you can’t place a foundation directly below a moonpool unless you deconstruct the moonpool first.

[eternal garnet]

odd. I put one right there many times, for the prawn to step on

Always after

But that wasn't in current version

[fervent bloom]

I've noticed that you also can't place light sticks under the moonpool. Perhaps there needs to be a certain amount of clearance, though.

[chrome cedar]

I’ve not been able to in either game on the current releases. Always have to deconstruct the moonpool. I also like that landing pad.

[eternal garnet]

nice orange light tip: flowering spores

[chrome cedar]

I think they float away after a time? Only tried that once.

[eternal garnet]

no but they move if bumped

[chrome cedar]

makes sense, and at the time I had a number of pengwings and sea monkeys about.

[steel shoal]

Can you prop cannon them?

[eternal garnet]

I expect so

[steel shoal]

You can't place them on foundations either, but you can on crates

[indigo mantle]

sorry forgot to send but here

it does this with everythjng

on all sides, even when i remove the stuff on the inside

[twin lotus]

how does exitting the sea truck work because sometimes i get sent outside then seomtimes i just unpilot

[bold monolith]

Finish the ghost buildings first.

[bold monolith]

When you have modules, you'll be ejected from it if it has an angle.

Make sure it's straight when you exit the pilot seat.

[fathom marsh]

what is the sense behind speeding up prawn's boost recharge when turning it?

[lone crag]

if your still having problems, make sure nothing is built in front of the plate where you want to attach it to. maybe it will help

[keen timber]

is that a bug cause i soft locked one of my save files before because i couldnt leave my base and i couldnt delete the ghost building

[bold monolith]

It's by design, the adjacent cell needs to be finished.

[keen timber]

how do i unsoftlock my save

[bold monolith]

Share it.

[tacit thorn]

Trick - if you unlocked the end game uncrafter, you can merge your titan pieces into ingots, then plastel and so on to compact everything to fit.

[steel stream]

Not just plasteel: copper and silver go into compass for example. Or craft prawn drill arms

[fervent bloom]

I would consider it more of a mid-game thing; you get it before ||ion batteries||.

[wise bone]

I actually did do that with most of the titanium I just had way too much stuff

god the shadow leviathan has to be the scariest leviathan out of all of them from both games, that thing terrifies me

[left marsh]

Its cool tho

My favourite leviathan personally

[unique jacinth]

It's not that scary just hard to see. Easily able to get ambushed and get a heart attack basically and they are super aggressive unlike other levitatians

[wise bone]

can multiple nuclear reactors not generate power at the same time? i've got 7 water filters and 4 reactors but the energy is still going down lol

[chrome cedar]

Power only draws from a single source at a time. The active source needs to be fully drained before it will pull from the next.

This can be an issue when you have multiple sources of power in a base, the order they draw from can sometimes change when a save reloads.

I’m really hoping this is something that gets updated for the next game.

[wise bone]

weird, don't remember that being an issue in the first game

[chrome cedar]

Definitely is.

[bold monolith]

That's because it's a feature.

[chrome cedar]

😂

[plush fjord]

I feel like that would be way harder to code than the current system

[steel stream]

So only once you're down 2500 power the second reactor starts being consumed

[wise bone]

oh that makes sense

[bold monolith]

If you see it as a stack of batteries instead of power sources, it's more logical. The power sources only charge their respective battery, and the stack is drained in the order they are chained.

[wise bone]

ah oki, but once the first reactor is drained and it starts using power from the second reactor, both will be generating power at once? so I won't actually run out of energy

[bold monolith]

Correct. They'll both recharge their own batteries.

[wise bone]

alright cool thanks

[left marsh]

Thats one powerful battery

Im assuming the power supply order randomizing thing is just to save some memory??

[bold monolith]

For the second power source to be used, you would have to use more than 4.16 energy per second if your nuclear reactor is the one being drained. That's a lot of spotlights.

[chrome cedar]

No spotlights in BZ…

[bold monolith]

Floodlights then.

[left marsh]

Sticklight things tho

[bold monolith]

Light sticks don't use power, they're magical.

The order being arbitrary is the order they are loaded by the engine I believe.

I highly doubt it's something that is here to save the memory.

[chrome cedar]

True. At one point it was said that the order was that it would draw from the oldest created source first, but that all gets changed when a save reloads. It’s possible the logic changed in various builds for various reasons. Short answer is you can’t count on a given source being your primary.

[left marsh]

Whenever i load my save i just pray solar/thermal takes priority pver bio

[bold monolith]

It's true that it's the build order at first.

[chrome cedar]

Delete the bio and make more thermal.

[unique jacinth]

? They are in creative I think but I don't think they are in survival ig

[left marsh]

I havebio to get rid of extra stuff

[chrome cedar]

I only ever use bio for a scanner or small outpost that I’m visiting briefly.

Never a main base.

[left marsh]

I just have it temporarily until i get nuclear

[unique jacinth]

I don't have the patience to get nuclear besides I have 5 million growbeds bio is just better for me

[chrome cedar]

Whatever works for you is the best.

[chrome cedar]

Correct…
