below-zero-chat

[chrome cedar]

If it’s not in survival I don’t consider it as being in the game. LoL

[unique jacinth]

Why didn't they include them

That's bad unbelievable 0/10 game/j

[bold monolith]

Once there was one in front of the door at Phi Robotics.

But it didn't stay.

[chrome cedar]

I liked them better than floods. Devs I’m sure had a reason even if it doesn’t make sense to us now.

[wise bone]

I wonder if they had a reason for not being able to use multiple fabricators at once :(

[left marsh]

Spotlights were smaller and less conspicuous.. felt better to have on thr base

Floodlights is more for like a mining or wreck type area

[chrome cedar]

Wish they could be angled up and down.

[fervent bloom]

Do you think they could have forgotten about them?

[fervent bloom]

This is true, but that's never a bad thing. They're great for foundations, especially when you're using them for storage or for a Seatruck parking area.

[chrome cedar]

I just use them to make my base more visible in the dark.

#🏠awesome-bases message

[bold crown]

I hate how there are like so many invisible walls in below zero

like how tf do i get in

there is just an invisible wall in the way

now im in here ig

guys i think i softlocked myself

nvm i got out

why tf is there so many land based areas if they can't even polish the land

im softlocked again but this time for real

[eternal garnet]

You went out of bounds up there, so there are walls to keep you in, not out

[chrome cedar]

Right.

[bold crown]

kinda defeats the point of an open world game no?

the borders should be natural

like mountains and stuff

not invisible walls

[eternal garnet]

no. there are always bounds in those

The walls below are meant to keep you in

but then you jump 20m with the prawn

[bold crown]

they should have made the land sections more polished then

if they added this much content on land

[chrome cedar]

Yes…. Take a few more months to polish all those areas that you aren’t supposed to go. That makes sense.

[bold crown]

or maybe prevent you from going there in the first place? or more indication of which way is the correct way to go?

the marker for the place is on land, so i assumed that I can just get there if i get up the land

[carmine bobcat]

||kinda felt bad for mercury 2 crew ngl||

[unique jacinth]

Maybe the walls are a hint you aren't supposed to go there and you are asking them to do the exploring for you in a open world game?

The only thing they could have done is make them unreasonably tall

[bold crown]

isn't that what playtesters are for?

all that aside softlocks should not be possible in any game

because that is just bad game design, unless its intentional

[unique jacinth]

Some things are unplanned that's why you report bugs

So they can fix the thing they didn't realize that's kinda why things like bug reports are a thing

Also is there a body part in crystal caves

[steel shoal]

Carefully listen to what Al-An says

It's a hint

[unique jacinth]

I think there is one in ||artic spires||..

Well time to go find it

[bold crown]

destroy snowman

[steel shoal]

Evil

[unique jacinth]

Cute snowman

[bold crown]

me when question mark

[unique jacinth]

If only you could make a snowman out of every in game levitatian

Also can you get snow stalkers out of the wild in anyway

[bold crown]

is snowfox supposed to be like a really late game thing?

[steel shoal]

No, it's pretty early.

[bold crown]

cuz ive literally only found one fragment from the base

[steel shoal]

What do you mean?

[eternal garnet]

lightbulb poster?

[unique jacinth]

I still haven't gotten it 16 hour in

[unique jacinth]

Capture it

[bold crown]

architect structures

[unique jacinth]

I want a pet snow stalker

[steel shoal]

No, you can't, not even the babies. I think if you Prop-cannon them, they'll run back to their spawn point

[unique jacinth]

Could I possibly prop cannon them all the way to my base

Just for fun

[bold crown]

i feel like im playing this game wrong

[steel shoal]

I think you can, but it'll swim back

[unique jacinth]

Anyway guess I'm going to make a glacial bay base so I can have a little guy

[unique jacinth]

Because I need my snow stalkers somehow

[steel shoal]

You don't usually get out of bounds

[bold crown]

it happened to me twice

[unique jacinth]

I just saw something new a pinnacard can I abduct these from the wild

I can I just have to find there eggs

I'll do it later

[bold crown]

i somehow missed the ||delta island map|| when i first got there and only got it after i got my prawn suit and explored the ||bridge|| lol

[unique jacinth]

@steel shoal what way is spires from robotics place

[eternal garnet]

no need to tag users... it's north. Go back to the dock / bridge, cross bridge

[unique jacinth]

Oh bridge

[eternal garnet]

I mean, don't tag for a new question that isn't a reply

[bold crown]

how long does a normal first playthrough usually take

in terms of playtime

[eternal garnet]

10-40h

[steel shoal]

But if you're trying to find everything, it may be longer

[bold crown]

great yeah i found this before finding the actual snowfox

[steel shoal]

That's normal, you need it first to craft the Snowfox

[bold crown]

whats not normal is im 24 hours in and i still dont have a snowfox lol

[steel shoal]

You just don't know where to look

It's fine, eventually you'll get it

Have you been to Phi?

[bold crown]

im currently at there

im assuming this was one of the first places i was supposed to go?

[eternal garnet]

in glacial basin, yes

[bold crown]

yeah so i just got here after 24 hrs of pt

[eternal garnet]

the basin is the entire part south of the brige

[bold crown]

i just completely missed that part ig

to be fair i found the delta island map only after someone told me about its existence

[steel shoal]

You're welcome

[bold crown]

and that was after i explored past the bridge

[wise bone]

is the snowfox actually useful? I don't think I've ever made one

[steel shoal]

It's not

It's cool, though

[bold crown]

imma make one when i unlock the last fragment

[wise bone]

it does seem pretty cool i should try it

[bold crown]

i am so rich on resources rn

[steel shoal]

It's super cheap

[wise bone]

I wish there were more ways to get lead, it's used so often but the only way is those annoying outcrops :(

[bold crown]

and monkeys

i used the sea monkeys to get my lead

how do you get snow stalker fur

i killed a few snow stalkers before i dont think i ever got any fur

[unique jacinth]

Spy penguin

[eternal garnet]

yes, spy on a live one, or the cave south of the lake has some on the ground

[unique jacinth]

How much snow worm can a prawn take

(hits)

[eternal garnet]

dunno. at least 4

[unique jacinth]

Damn i should be good then I'm going to just take my prawn NE

Close call avoided the worm with pure luck

[bold crown]

what does a thumper do

[fervent bloom]

It prevents the ice worm from emerging in its radius.

[bold crown]

hm

sounds useless

[unique jacinth]

Can you hold it with a prop cannon

[fervent bloom]

It also burns through batteries. It could be useful for setting up a base, but it's not very helpful.

[fervent bloom]

That's a good question, and one that I don't know the answer to.

[unique jacinth]

Grapple and jets man saving me

[unique jacinth]

Or just walking actually

Okay I found at least a structure

Just ion cubes which are great

How many should I get

[fervent bloom]

What are you going to use them for?

[unique jacinth]

Idk

[sterile shadow]

In my opinion, as many as you can. Ion Cubes are limited in Below Zero.

[unique jacinth]

I just kinda know I'm going to need some

I have as many as my prawn can currently carry

Time to look for body cashe

Ok I got it

Only got 2 worm hits

My prawn isn't dead so that's good

Guys what is your favorite song in bz junkebox

[unique jacinth]

Components obtained

[next current]

The song: "Rite of the Deep" by Steve Pardo.

[steel shoal]

Sameee

[next current]

I still wish "Ice in my Veins" was one of the Jukebox songs.

[unique jacinth]

I don't like that one honestly. My favorite is don't hold your breath

[unique jacinth]

What are top 5 bio reactor plants

[fervent bloom]

Ribbon plants, gel sacks and frost anemone hearts are all good, but kelp root pustules are fantastic.

[next current]

Overall, Root Pustules give the most.

[fervent bloom]

Yes, that's only four, but I don't have a fifth.

[next current]

Fevered Peppers are also p good.

[fervent bloom]

There we go!

[unique jacinth]

I'll just use my ribbon and gel I suppose

[next current]

Go for plants that are either 1x1 or 1x2.

[unique jacinth]

I need root pulsators anyway might as well snag as many as possible

[fervent bloom]

Keep in mind that they are a limited resource...

Why do you think the triops is such good bioreactor fuel?

[next current]

Ehhh... One triops isn't even enough to completely fill a bioreactor.

[unique jacinth]

So what do I need to do to finally start the endgame cut scene again. Actually just tell me if it's finishing the body

[fervent bloom]

I didn't phrase that well, but it's tied with the arctic peeper for best fish bioreactor fuel.

[unique jacinth]

Okay so get peepers as well gotcha

[next current]

It's exactly that.

[unique jacinth]

Okay

[steel shoal]

Gel sacks grow fast enough

[unique jacinth]

I have multiple gels

[fervent bloom]

I shouldn't have brought up fish as fuel...

[next current]

Plus they make for a good snack. :)

[unique jacinth]

Peepers aren't going extinct any time soon they'll be fine

Which is better roots or peeper

[steel shoal]

I'm certain this was already answered

[fervent bloom]

Root pustules are better, by far. They give 700 energy in one slot.

[unique jacinth]

Alright

[fervent bloom]

I think I will finally make another module for my Seatruck: the sleeper module.

[unique jacinth]

Time to beat the game

Ribbon is actually pretty good better than expected

Gel is better

How many shadows are in game I know at least two are but other than that

[next current]

There's four in total.

[steel shoal]

You have to meet all of them :)

[next current]

:)

[twin lotus]

hii wheres a good spot for a first land base

[unique jacinth]

I just did

[next current]

The Glacial Bay is pretty good.

[unique jacinth]

Bay or basin

[next current]

Easy access to the ocean.

[unique jacinth]

And basically everything else in land

[next current]

True...

[unique jacinth]

Rip prawn stuck in fabricator facility

Is there anyway to free it

[twin lotus]

wait is that just west of droppod

[unique jacinth]

Phi area

[twin lotus]

oh yea ive been there ill build at the beach area thanks

[fervent bloom]

I've met at least three, and I think all four.

[unique jacinth]

Because I want to

[fervent bloom]

I thought the Prawn-suit-getting-stuck-in-||alien-facilities|| was exclusive to Subnautica.

[unique jacinth]

Nope

Stuck in fabricator caverns

[worldly badge]

I love the sound of Alan's voice

[willow apex]

will the big electric shark things run away if i hit them

[next current]

Yeah... Matthew Marsh did a pretty good job.

[versed kestrel]

that hole titan finna make me act up

[carmine bobcat]

https://youtu.be/PZfaVbtvP3U?si=CdhllX-0aSpLARDs
There's a undocumented and unregistered soundtrack from what I believe to be Subnautica below zero in this video at around 4:38 it starts to play. I've searched for awhile and couldn't find anything. I vaguely remember hearing it in the beta version of the game back before its complete release and the biome I remember hearing it in was the deep twisty bridges. I don't know if this was a cut soundtrack or not but if anyone has any information or the whereabouts of this soundtrack I'd be forever grateful 🙏

[old kelp]

yoooo last bacon vid

[carmine bobcat]

Wdym?

[sinful idol]

Is there a mobile veichle bay in below zero?

[old kelp]

last bacon is amzing

[carmine bobcat]

Oh yeah he's alright

I thought you were asking me if I had seen his last vid

About the 2024 updates

[old kelp]

ah

[sinful idol]

Wait there are gonna be new updates?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[sinful idol]

Oh can you tell me where exactly are the fragments for it?

[eternal garnet]

sea monkey nests, and also in the sand in twisty, maybe 50m down. Look like this

[sinful idol]

Im so stupid. I saw a lot of sea monkey nests and just went pass them

[steel shoal]

They're Aurora sound effects, he put them playing more often in the video.

[carmine bobcat]

Is it really just Aurora ambiance?

To me it sounds like a full fledged soundtrack but maybe that's because it plays more frequently as you say

I guess I'll have to boot up Subnautica and head to the Aurora and give it a listen to see if that's really the case

[twin lotus]

whats a good power source for land bases?

[steel shoal]

Solar and nuclear

[willow apex]

im too wary in this game bruh 😭 i got jumpscared by robin's hand

[jovial stone]

The thought of Shadow leviathans using their little legs to crawl on the surface will now live in my head rent free and i hate it

[fervent bloom]

If it helps, their legs are not for locomotion, but for grappling and trapping their prey while they spit luminescent digestive enzymes on it...

[jovial stone]

Thats...not any better wow lol

[steel shoal]

I'm certain the legs are too few and weak to support the weight out of water, but it's possible that at some point there was a similar leviathan, with stronger legs than was amphibious

[fervent bloom]

Now I really want to see that. Do you think they're related, as the wiki says for some reason, to the ice worm?

[steel shoal]

No

It's most likely convergent evolution, like how both sharks and dolphins have similar fins, even though they couldn't be any less related

[fervent bloom]

Not to get off-topic, but did you know that a tuna is more closely related to a human than it is to a shark?

[steel shoal]

I did <3

Shadow Leviathans seem to have thick meaty skin, while Ice Worms have chitin

[fervent bloom]

The PDA does say that the shadow's head ram has "thick head plating", I think.

[steel shoal]

But that could be like the Dunkleosteus, it had thick head plating, but skin on top

[fervent bloom]

Actually, I think that's exactly what the PDA says.

[unique jacinth]

Which do you like more chelicerate or the ice worm

[steel shoal]

Ice Worm is my favorite leviathan ever

[fervent bloom]

I prefer the chelicerate, but they are both amazing creatures.

[unique jacinth]

It's unkillable too I think

And does most prawn damage of levitatians I can think of

It took mine to 50 something in a single attack

[unique jacinth]

[steel shoal]

All leviathans are unkillable if you don't kill them

[safe sun]

[unique jacinth]

True but people for some reason enjoy doing it and at least they can't get one

[steel shoal]

Eh idc about their immunity to damage

I like how they look, and interact with creatures, and their sound design

[fervent bloom]

Why do you think they always toss snow stalkers up into the air and catch them, but they don't do so for Robin?

[unique jacinth]

They hate prawn greatly

[steel shoal]

Probably Al-An messing with the creature, I don't know

They hate noise*

The prawn makes a ton of noise when walking

If it's standing still, the worm will attack the stalkers

[unique jacinth]

But in prawn you can escape pretty easily

[fervent bloom]

Could it somehow be a way to avoid the stalker's dorsal spines?

[unique jacinth]

Just walk away

Boom worm avoided generally

[unique jacinth]

Don't they use it for hunting not hate it?

[steel shoal]

That makes sense

[steel shoal]

When I say "hate", I don't mean actual hatred, I don't think Worms get upset

[unique jacinth]

I think they just use it for hunting mechanism

[steel shoal]

They're very aggressive towards it

[unique jacinth]

I read the pda entry and it says it's to locate potential prey

[steel shoal]

Makes sense

[unique jacinth]

Also does anyone know anything about the ice worm graveyard lore is it just one snow worm killed the others or

[steel shoal]

They go there to die

Worms are not mindless

[unique jacinth]

Ah

Anyway I love yet hate the squidshard

[steel shoal]

Squidsharks are pretty

The super long pectoral fins are so nice

[unique jacinth]

They shock you unfortunately

I need to get there eggs like I need for 15 other things eventually

[steel shoal]

Their eggs are the rarest

[unique jacinth]

I also need trivalve

Or whatever it's called

[steel shoal]

That one is harder to find, but it's more common

[graceful monolith]

Were there any scrapped endings for bz?

[cerulean musk]

Yep a very big and arguably better ending

[graceful monolith]

Oo where can I find it

[cerulean musk]

you can play it!

[graceful monolith]

With mods? Is it on nexusmods?

[cerulean musk]

as long as you play on steam you can

[graceful monolith]

Ill ask the mod server how to do it, thanks

[cerulean musk]

you dont need mods tho

[graceful monolith]

Oh? Then what

[cerulean musk]

go into below zero's properties on steam

click betas

and redeem belowzeroearlyaccess as a key

[graceful monolith]

Will do thanks

[cerulean musk]

then pick early early-access-8.1 - EA8.1 - Original Story Final Build

[bold monolith]

The ending was pretty much the same.

||Robin escapes with Al-An.|| Even in the first story it was planned that way.

It's what was before that changed.

[cerulean musk]

alot of the gameplay loops were also changed,

the rocket on delta island was a big change and the vesper space station played a big role

also the sea emperor babies talking is so cool

[bold crown]

i suck at reading maps

i cnt find the place

[cerulean musk]

yeah no its really hard to understand

[bold crown]

ok so its not just me then

imma just use wiki to search for coords

[cerulean musk]

first playthrough i legit basically skipped the first land part and just got in my prawn and went over the bridge only to go in circles for like an hout in the iceworm arena

[bold crown]

yeah i went to the bridge and then found out there was a map in delta island

and now im revisiing these land areas that i missed

e

[bold crown]

swimming with dog

i have no idea where i am but i just kidnapped some penglings

[plush fjord]

Based

[bold crown]

im completely lost, i can't find any of the spots the map is showing

why isnt there a compass or smth on the map

[unique jacinth]

You have to craft it

[steel shoal]

There is a compass

Nevermind, wrong map

But this map is still easy to understand

The purple Circle is Phi Robotics. You can guess which way is North through the bridge. You can also compare it with the other map, for a more realistic view

The spy pengling spots have a little antenna, a blinking red light and a beeping sound, so they're easier to find

[plush fjord]

You can also use the mineral detector to find them

[steel shoal]

That's new

I've already explored every single spot, but that's a nice feature

[bold crown]

well that would have been nice to know about 3 hours earlier lol

ive been searching for them for like 3 hours now

still haven't found it

[steel shoal]

You can use the dock to locate yourself in the map

The shape makes it very easy

[bold crown]

what shape

[steel shoal]

Of the pool with the dock

[bold crown]

i think im off the map now

i have no idea where i went

i just kept on walking and i went to a weird place with a bunch of penguins and snow stalkers

also i haven't been reading any of the logs lol

[steel shoal]

Why not?

They help

[hazy drift]

I beat Below Zero!

[steel shoal]

Congrats! Did you enjoy it?

[hazy drift]

Yes

[bold crown]

i may have killed the parent

[hazy drift]

Amazing game

[unique jacinth]

I only got my prawn stuck in the process

[bold crown]

and now they are orphans

[plush fjord]

Rude

[unique jacinth]

You monster

[bold crown]

do i kill the kids too to put them out of their misery?

[unique jacinth]

No

[hazy drift]

Yes

[steel shoal]

Use commands to spawn a new parent

[plush fjord]

No :(

[steel shoal]

They don't have to know

[unique jacinth]

Just propulsion cannon them to a new family

[plush fjord]

Only valid reason to use commands

[bold crown]

ok the kid bit me so i killed all of them

[steel shoal]

I agree. Very pretty, both the map and the creatures

[hazy drift]

Yes

[bold crown]

i thought the blue part was their eyes lol

[plush fjord]

#memes-and-media message

[unique jacinth]

Unbelievable

[bold crown]

are they supposed to give me fur?

[hazy drift]

I think so

[unique jacinth]

Only through spy penguin through pinching them

[hazy drift]

Do you need the fur?

[steel shoal]

Not when you kill them

[bold crown]

oh

[steel shoal]

They don't respawn, so be careful

[bold crown]

the small ones or the big ones

[tacit thorn]

Spoiler: ||big ones can be harvested for fur after killing||

[plush fjord]

This is the most active BZ chat has ever been

[bold crown]

its cuz i killed an entire family

[steel shoal]

From now on, we say they don't give fur when killed, in hopes to dissuade people from hurting them.

[plush fjord]

The government silenced my opinion on the matter

[bold crown]

oh no

[plush fjord]

Don't.

[tacit thorn]

I did not euthanize one for hunting, only in self defense.

[steel shoal]

Give them some fruit

They go eepy right after

[plush fjord]

Slumber

[tacit thorn]

you need purple fruit, not the pepper, other one?

[left marsh]

Baby snow stalkers are the most adorable things

[carmine bobcat]

No you're supposed to let the thing maul you to death

[steel shoal]

Purple fruit makes them eepy, fish is to feed the babies

[unique jacinth]

They killed one 😔

[plush fjord]

More than one

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah don't poach the babies

[unique jacinth]

Two*

[steel shoal]

Flares stops them from attacking you, they're scared

[bold crown]

I killed the snow stalker cuz it was charging towards me, then I killed the kid cuz it bit me

[plush fjord]

Ban birb for killing them

[carmine bobcat]

Scared of fire

[steel shoal]

They also stop monkeys from approaching you

[unique jacinth]

Just accept your new rulers man

[bold crown]

Hey man I drop kicked that child in self defense

[carmine bobcat]

Lmao

[steel shoal]

0 damage, so scary

[plush fjord]

They can't hurt you

[bold crown]

They are white

[carmine bobcat]

Some children in real life can do a lot of damage though

[plush fjord]

What does that have to do with it

[carmine bobcat]

Drop kicking may be the only solution to prevent further violence

[bold crown]

You speaking from personal experience?

[carmine bobcat]

I live in America what do you think?

[left marsh]

“Office, i drop-kicked that child in self-defense”
-Technobldr. R.I.P buddy

[steel shoal]

It's for them to blend with the snow. Their greyish skin doesn't help, though.

[left marsh]

Adult snow stalkers jumping you isnt fun at all

[carmine bobcat]

They're basically 4546B polar bears

[unique jacinth]

Snow worms 😔

[plush fjord]

What does the fur being white have to do with the danger levels of the baby though

[left marsh]

Golbal warming L

[steel shoal]

They deal so little damge, pretty much land crabsnakes

[bold crown]

When you kill the adult might as well kill the entire family

[unique jacinth]

No

[steel shoal]

Ask @bold crown

[left marsh]

I never made reinforced auit so it hurt a bit more

[unique jacinth]

You bring them to a new family

[left marsh]

Plus i never actually carried medkits in this game

[steel shoal]

30 damage without the suit, no?

Or is it with the suit

[left marsh]

Idk

Havent played bz in a while

[carmine bobcat]

Reznov: "Do you think these men will be denied their revenge?"

[bold crown]

what they doing

are they rebelling

i can't have that here imma kill this guy too

[plush fjord]

Being cute

[left marsh]

He’s imitating a trex that kinda cute icl

[plush fjord]

I will Lynch you

[unique jacinth]

Cute

[left marsh]

Permaban pls

[steel shoal]

You're giving them attention, just ignore

[carmine bobcat]

You're getting a crash fish sent to your mail box

[bold crown]

ok so you can collect their fur when dead

[carmine bobcat]

Well yeah it's a feature

[bold crown]

oh no my worst nightmare

[steel shoal]

We already mentioned it.

[bold crown]

i think i have enough fur

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah probably

[bold crown]

unless there is something else that needs fur

[unique jacinth]

Guys let's just block them simple solutions for a simple problem

[carmine bobcat]

You dam poacher

[plush fjord]

You only need 4

[carmine bobcat]

He probably has 42

[bold crown]

why yall so sensitive about me killing video game npc 😭

[carmine bobcat]

I'm not

[left marsh]

The council has decided on your execution

[unique jacinth]

We just don't like people boasting about killing the animals so just don't bring that up here alright

[carmine bobcat]

Let me be the first to say that some people take this game more seriously than what it is, it's a video game and you can do whatever you want in it.

[bold crown]

anyways im completely lost now

i have no idea where i came from and where i am

[carmine bobcat]

It's on par with people complaining about killing the children in skyrim

[left marsh]

But thats actualy kinda funny tho 💀

[carmine bobcat]

Like those children are rude, I'm probably doing their parents a favor

[bold crown]

that game sounds fun

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah but at the end of the day it's just a game you pay for and play so just do what you want

And don't let the fictional 4546B environmentalists get in your head

[plush fjord]

Let us in your skin

[bold crown]

at least sea monkeys were useful

[carmine bobcat]

But yeah I'd be lying if I said it's depressing to see you kill baby snow stalkers

[bold crown]

even though i killed like 4 of them before they started gifting me stuff

cuz they kept stelaing my stuff

[left marsh]

I may or may not have pushed some into spikey traps

[plush fjord]

You're such a menace

[bold crown]

i may or may not have tail whipped one with my seatruck

it was an accident i swear

[left marsh]

Seatruck accumulates so much roadkill its more dangerous than cyclops i swr

Cyclos was more of a danger to itself

[tacit thorn]

Call it "Sedated"?

[plush fjord]

Its health also half's when you hit one fish

[bold crown]

it hasn't moved in 20 minutes so i dont think its alive

[left marsh]

Thats seamoth

[carmine bobcat]

Remember Altera profited from supplying colonies with weapons during a Civil war

[left marsh]

Seatruck is tanky

[tacit thorn]

Well SEdated!

[left marsh]

Average mega corporation:

Nah my seatruck is so brittle

[bold crown]

edated

[steel shoal]

No mention of that in the lore. I don't think Natural Selection is canon.

[left marsh]

Its offbrand

[tacit thorn]

hate them. My seabase has 6 brute sharks trained to hunt them.

[left marsh]

Wot

[plush fjord]

But they're nice :(

[left marsh]

Ikr

[unique jacinth]

Where has the most snow stalkers

[bold crown]

i got the egg of that weird carnivorous fish and it was just killing all my sea monkeys and random fishes i let free near my base

[plush fjord]

The void

[left marsh]

#memes-and-media is where you shoudlve posted but whatever

[carmine bobcat]

I was told lore discussion from both games should be done here

And until there's a #lore-discussion channel than here I remain

[left marsh]

Idk its whatever im no mod but videos are usually posted in memes and media

[carmine bobcat]

Fair nuff

[unique jacinth]

#📚wiki-discussion

[plush fjord]

Not a lore discussion

[left marsh]

Nah thats just talk aboutt if info is correct

[unique jacinth]

Alright

[bold crown]

After I finish below zero I’m gonna watch the play through of some other YouTuber to see how I play compared to them

[steel shoal]

Hi I'm back

[plush fjord]

BZ chat is stand in lore discussion

[unique jacinth]

Hi

[steel shoal]

That is for discussing wiki changes

[bold crown]

I’m definitely not playing in a linear progression

[plush fjord]

Haii

[unique jacinth]

No?

[carmine bobcat]

No, no he's got a point

[steel shoal]

Should've posted that in #memes-and-media indeed. We can discuss lore, not share videos of other people talking about it

[left marsh]

Yey i was right

[plush fjord]

Yuh huh

[bold crown]

Is phi robotics lab supposed to be like really early on in the game?

[unique jacinth]

Kinda

It's pretty easy to randomly find

[steel shoal]

Not early, but once you get to Delta, you find it quite easily

[bold crown]

Cuz I found it after 24 hrs of playtime

[unique jacinth]

Delta is like the first thing I do

[steel shoal]

Also, the video you posted... The script is correct, but the animations are extremely misleading

[unique jacinth]

Damn

Anyway I'm going to make my first land base

Somewhere where I know there are many snow stalkers

[bold crown]

What does land base do

[unique jacinth]

Look cool fun to build pretty much it

I wonder if you could build a moonpool on land

[plush fjord]

Probably

[unique jacinth]

I'm going to build in the glacial forest

[steel shoal]

You can't, I've tried.

[plush fjord]

Rip

[unique jacinth]

Rip

[plush fjord]

Great minds think alike

[steel shoal]

You can no longer build moonpools above the surface, not even in SN

[unique jacinth]

No way to charge prawn except craft batteries

[plush fjord]

Make it in to water

[tacit thorn]

With Mods. It works.

[unique jacinth]

I'm on a switch

Don't think I'll be using those any time soon

[left marsh]

insert overused switch joke here

[unique jacinth]

What is your favorite animal in Subnautica guys mines are the snow stalkers probably

[left marsh]

Baby snow stalker

Or pengling

[cerulean musk]

trivalve

[unique jacinth]

Stalkers are the best even the camera thieves

[steel shoal]

[left marsh]

Worm no cool

I would have loved to see a gargantuan leviathan tbh

[cerulean musk]

worm is annoying

[unique jacinth]

Very cool except they kill stalkers

[left marsh]

Seeing such a powerful force of nature would actually be awesome

[steel shoal]

Worm is amazing except they make me cry when they eat stalker :c

[left marsh]

Spike traps:

[cerulean musk]

kinda like whem the chelicerate kills the cryptos

[plush fjord]

I've never actually encountered the worm if I'm not trying to

[tacit thorn]

Worm loves attacking my prawn when docked.

[left marsh]

Cryptosuchus is annoying though

[steel shoal]

I cried soooo much when it ate a Lilypaddler in front of me

[cerulean musk]

yeah and in earlier versions they made ALOT more noise

[steel shoal]

I was streaming, I just froze in place

[left marsh]

I had to laugh when it atw a sea mobkey

[left marsh]

You mentioned that before

[left marsh]

Ik this sounds bad but its just the way it got eaten was stupid

[tacit thorn]

I feel sudden urge to grab one with grav gun and check how it looks. For science ofc.

[unique jacinth]

They killed me not anything else unfortunately

Spike traps suck

But I still don't want to kill them

[tacit thorn]

spike traps? they are immortal.

[unique jacinth]

Oh. .. do they drop seeds?

[left marsh]

Just spam the thing to make em let go

[tacit thorn]

No, they are immortal.
believe me, I tried.

[left marsh]

Ive never died to one but i always get caught by them

[unique jacinth]

Damn I can't replant them

I know there is at least 2 stalkers there I think

[unique jacinth]

What

Why post now and not early

How rare are pinnacard eggs

[tacit thorn]

there is more than 4 I think

[unique jacinth]

Thanks?

[steel shoal]

They're only in Kelp Forests

Not exactly rare, but they're not found in many places

[unique jacinth]

I love pinnacard

I didn't see one til yesterday but they are just so cute

[tacit thorn]

is that an ingredient for havaian pizza?

[unique jacinth]

Funa

[steel shoal]

You can feed them

You'll get a bunch going after you if you do so

[fervent bloom]

I'm still watching trying to watch your stream - I'm almost an hour into the first one.

[unique jacinth]

Anyway uh how do I get quartz in glacial basin

[steel shoal]

The spy-pengling spots have quartz

[unique jacinth]

I don't have any power

Which is kinda why I need it

[tacit thorn]

should be some lying around. got yout mineral scanner?

[unique jacinth]

So any other way?

[unique jacinth]

Nope

Found some

How often do I need to feed the stalkers so they don't attack me

[fervent bloom]

You need to do so regularly; I have a growbed there.

[steel stream]

Or just hold a flare

[unique jacinth]

I'd rather feed instead of scare

But I have it for extra precaution

[unique jacinth]

Do released fishh and fauna stay where they are released or go to their natural environment

[safe sun]

They stay

One of my favorite things to do with a base is to build a new ecosystem around it using flora and fauna.

[unique jacinth]

Okay so if I released penguins around my base they would stay?

[steel stream]

Except maybe crashfish...or at least the one I released (on the first game) swam on a straight line and was never seen again😂

[eternal garnet]

If you raised them yes

[unique jacinth]

I just grabbed them and put them in containment guess I'm going to need to find it's egg

Let's say I released a colony of penguins on the beach they would return there right

[fervent bloom]

Yes, that should be how it works.

[fervent bloom]

They explode after 20 seconds or so when you release them.

[eternal garnet]

But in those 20 seconds, do they stay?

[fervent bloom]

No, they swim in a random direction, as far as I can tell.

[unique jacinth]

Okay

Would it be safe with pinnacard

[fervent bloom]

If you're asking about penglings and pengwings, then yes. The only creatures that pinnacarids are dangerous to are small fish.

[unique jacinth]

How many of 1 species in containment do you need for eggs because I think they make eggs because I never had penguin egg and one was in my tank

[fervent bloom]

You need two to breed, but the amount of space inside also matters. A multipurpose room unit has 10 units of space, and a large room has 18. A creature takes up units of space equal to it's width in inventory.

[unique jacinth]

So how many would i need for a pinnacard

(units)

[fervent bloom]

You need two pinnacarids and enough room for them to breed (four units total), so they won't breed in a tank with four glow whales, though they physically fit.

[unique jacinth]

I only have two penguins in the tank

Would they have enough room

[fervent bloom]

Yes, definitely!

[unique jacinth]

Holy glow whale eggs have so much bio reactor fuel

I'm going to need more containments

Can peepers multiply in containment btw

[fervent bloom]

Yes, but they also take enough space that they are extremely subpar.

Peepers do indeed breed in containment.

[unique jacinth]

I'm going to just get a ton of quartz

[fervent bloom]

With enough space, anything will, other than trivalves.

[steel stream]

Divide the energy by 9 to get biofuel per slot, and many one-slot items will actually give more biofuel

[unique jacinth]

How many units are glow whales/squidsharks

[fervent bloom]

It's always equal to the width in inventory, so glow whales are four. I don't know about squidsharks, though...

[eternal garnet]

9 and I think 6

whale is 16?

disregard, I don't know. But in a tank, the width is what counts

[unique jacinth]

I'm going to get enough resources for about 5 tanks

And then I'll get enough for 5 multipurpose rooms

[eternal garnet]

tanks can grow upward. Also tanks in large rooms are bigger, oval

[unique jacinth]

I know

But big rooms are more expensive

[bold monolith]

Per slot.

One arctic peeper is 350.

[unique jacinth]

I'm going to start making a mass community around my base btw do stalkers hunt penguins

[bold monolith]

No.

They only like sharks.

I admit it wasn't very fair.

[fervent bloom]

The glow whale is 4 x 4, and I'm guessing the squidshark is 3 x 3, but I'm not sure.

[cerulean iris]

Why can I immediately hear the sssss of the brutes sliding on the snow like penguins in my head

[fervent bloom]

Those brute sharks are having a very bad day. Can the ice worm attack things that aren't snow stalkers or the player, and do snow stalkers qualify as sharks?

[bold monolith]

The iceworm only attack the snowstalkers. Also, you can notice that the babies aren't scared by the worm.

[unique jacinth]

Does worm attack baby

[bold monolith]

No. It only has the animation for the big ones.

[cerulean iris]

Now I’m just imagining a brute shark slowly sliding and spinning across the snow, going from one side of the screen to the other as it Wilhelm screams incoherently

[steel shoal]

A beautiful song playing in the background as huge ray sharks get eaten by super fast polar bears, often interrupted by a 100m long worm... This must be the best video you've ever shared

[unique jacinth]

Damn

[versed kestrel]

how long does a standard playthrough of below zero take?

[unique jacinth]

Idk

[eternal garnet]

10-40h all depending on you

it could be 100 even

[versed kestrel]

so like roughly the same as subnautica

[steel shoal]

Mine took 60h but I made sure to explore and gather everything I could

[cerulean iris]

I want to see an entire movie based around a glow whale and brute shark. Like a travel movie about a super chill big bro and a scrappy little bro that go on misadventures. That would be perfection

[fervent bloom]

That's a really good idea, actually, though I might prefer it as a series.

[fervent bloom]

This is a good game.

[unique jacinth]

I need to commit material run tomorrow

[cerulean iris]

A sea truck with multiple storage modules is always a good idea

[cerulean iris]

A fabricator and aquarium module is also a really good idea for food on the go

[versed kestrel]

ok without spoilers could someone let me know if im doing good because im 2 and a half hours in to my playthrough and im at the delta station

[unique jacinth]

I just need some titanium and quartz I'll be fine without

[fervent bloom]

Yeah, that's a great place to be.

[cerulean iris]

Delta station is decently close to spawn so I would say yes

[versed kestrel]

aight cool

[cerulean iris]

I know you don’t really need them, but they have absolutely came in clutch at times. It’s better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it.

[unique jacinth]

I'll take the risk

[fervent bloom]

What can cause the spy pengling to lose integrity? I don't think anything can attack it... is it just for when it gets driven off of cliffs? Also, can it be repaired?

[versed kestrel]

3 hours and 45 minutes in and i have a seatruck 😎 hopefully thats good for my first playthrough

[unique jacinth]

It's really easy to get

[versed kestrel]

oh

[unique jacinth]

Average Time I'd say

[eternal garnet]

one teaspoon of water. Can't be repaired

Also, driving on ice floats

[fervent bloom]

So, if it is damaged it stays that way forever?

[eternal garnet]

I dunno about damaged I never noticed. But it does explode on contact with water

try repair tool. drop it on the ground

[fervent bloom]

I think that's only the case when you're trying to operate it; you can drop it outside underwater and nothing bad happens.

[eternal garnet]

oh don't do that

[fervent bloom]

I saved the game and tried it, and it was fine.

Yeah, it's definitely fine, but you can't drive it. I would guess that if it falls into water while being driven, it explodes.

This raises another question: can sea monkeys steal them?

[eternal garnet]

It's prototype grade electronics. Not waterproof!

[fervent bloom]

It's always amused me that this culture can create phasegates and starships, yet they have very poor video quality for a small observation robot - it is a prototype, but still.

[eternal garnet]

Sam designed it. And potato's leg too

[chrome cedar]

Alterra tested, Alterra proven!

Caution: Not meant to be operated by small children. Failure to follow operators manual (not included) may void warranty. Choking hazard, contains small parts. Operation while inhabited by alien intelligence strictly prohibited. Fun for the whole family!

[oak geyser]

(and you cannot change its name)

[fervent bloom]

This is brilliant!

[fervent bloom]

Yeah, I know, which is why it's a little surprising; she seems to have spent quite a bit of time on it as well.

[unique jacinth]

Can you grow anonimes heart

[steel shoal]

No, but they grow back in the wild, I think

[fervent bloom]

I can confirm that they do.

[unique jacinth]

I finally got all 25 glass

[willow apex]

why isn't the chelicerate pink...

[steel shoal]

You're right, it would've been so much better...

[unique jacinth]

I love snowfox

Guys suggest 1 egg to get

[eternal garnet]

trivalve

[unique jacinth]

Let me rephrase. That can multiply

[eternal garnet]

for food or fuel, peeper

[unique jacinth]

Just for making a ecosystem for no reason

[eternal garnet]

spinner fish

[unique jacinth]

Alright ig

[willow apex]

chat do i leave with the single kyanite i need from crystal caves or do i go deeper

[eternal garnet]

just drop a beacon at the exit

[willow apex]

okay ive had my fun in crystal caves the leviathan has nearly killed me

[eternal garnet]

you will return

[willow apex]

unfortunate

[chrome cedar]

Need more kyanite…

Fill a locker.

[eternal garnet]

you will never use more than 14

[chrome cedar]

I’ve used more.

Sea trucks and depth modules and prawn suits…. Oh my!

I really do need to drop a beacon at the ||drillable deposits|| down there.

[fervent bloom]

You could try to simulate the ||Lilypad Islands|| biome, with spinner fish, squidsharks, noot fish, brute sharks, lily paddlers, and glow whales.

[chrome cedar]

Release a few dozen sea monkeys and never need to collect resources again…

Every time I leave my base it’s like Christmas morning getting presents.

[fervent bloom]

I really feel like there's a missed opportunity for a Christmas/winter-holiday-themed image of Robin and ||Al-an|| sledding together, or opening presents.

[chrome cedar]

Sliding down a mountain with two ice worms chasing them…

[fervent bloom]

I know it doesn't function this way in the game, but is there supposed to be one singular ice worm, or several?

[eternal garnet]

it's hard to say

[fervent bloom]

I wouldn't be surprised if there are at least two; the graveyard suggests that they aren't extremely rare.

[chrome cedar]

I’ve never seen more than one at a time, but I have seen one pop out immediately after a first one appeared elsewhere, implying that there are at least two in a given area.

[fervent bloom]

A pair of them would make sense; they only live in one biome, but it might be too relentless to be a single individual.

I just encountered a school of hoopfish, some of which appeared to be flying...

[cerulean iris]

(It begins to snow on the ||homeworld||)

Robin: Smiling and speaking with cheer

“Look Alan, it’s snowing! That’s so cool”

Alan: in his normal deadpan snark

“Humans like frozen water falling from the sky? Wait until your kind hears about rain”

Robin: contemplates murder

[twilit vault]

how unflood my bace the stabilty is 197

and yes these are full

all full

[broken badge]

Did you hit the base with something, like your seatruck?
You’ll have to fix all the leaks, including any that might be hiding behind lockers or whatever, and let the base drain.

[twilit vault]

i fixed it with a repair tool

i didnt know u had to fix em

[broken badge]

Yeah, the base won’t fix itself

[twilit vault]

sad

[carmine bobcat]

And auto repair module for base building in the next Subnautica game would be cool

[worldly badge]

I'm having trouble connecting a seatruck docking station to my base, any advice on how to get it to work?
(there is plenty of space but it only seems to light up green when it's alone)

[chilly coyote]

Scary ice Fish🔥🔥

[broken badge]

Make sure there’s plenty of room around the base. I’ve heard it can be really finicky.

It’s supposed to allow for plenty of length of seatruck so that’s why

[cerulean iris]

For me the connection point was longer than it looked. Try moving it away slightly. Like a room that’s one shift too close to build but turns green when you back it up

[worldly badge]

gotcha, thanks guys

I'll try this again tomorrow and message again if I still can't get it to work

[cerulean iris]

If it doesn’t work then, make sure that the tube has enough clear space (about 1/2 - 2/3 its length) beyond the outer end. Like Shadow said, when you leave from the base with the sea truck it doesn’t just drop you off, it sorta fires you out like a cannon so it needs room. When it finishes the animation your truck cockpit should be at the outer end of the tube

[carmine bobcat]

What's the cuddlefish equivalent in below zero called again?

[bold monolith]

A trivalve.

[carmine bobcat]

Now I remember

Trivalve my beloved

Unpopular opinion probably but I think I prefer the Trivalve to the cuddlefish

[cerulean iris]

I do too. Any ocean pet that can follow me on land is the best.

[carmine bobcat]

True ||Maida chose her companion well too||

[south steeple]

can someone give me an idea where i might find all the sea truck fragments?

i have one so far

[cobalt vector]

they're everywhere. Twisty bridges, caves, and more places.

[worldly badge]

It worked, but I had to clear out the nearby kelp that was facing the outer end despite not even being near it. I REALLY underestimated how much space was required for this

[unique jacinth]

I already know every fishh I'm getting

[tacit thorn]

It has really big bounding box, like 3x3x7 modules. Also, the connector is at very end - build it standalone, then attach a corridor to figure out where the connector goes and how far from rest of base.

[fervent bloom]

Can aggressive fauna attack the player while they are piloting a Seatruck module from the exterior?

[eternal garnet]

most likely

[fervent bloom]

It's an easy thing to test, I suppose.

I wonder if piloted modules do collision damage.

[unique jacinth]

I wish we could have companion snow stalker

[proper perch]

why tf don't i get any location from AL-AN in BZ?! any1 know why?

[west mountain]

Do you mean you did not get any at all from the beginning or you dont get anymore in the later game, after you received a couple of them?

[proper perch]

my friend have gotton 4 while i only got 1 and i've got more playtime like tf

am i missing something?!

[proper perch]

no i got to Body Cache

[west mountain]

Which one did you get so far? Did you visit it?

[proper perch]

yeah it was Body Cache that is the latest

[west mountain]

The latest or the only one?

[proper perch]

latest

[west mountain]

It is the only body part beacon you will ever get. The others are "just" normal alien artefact locations. But agreed you should get about 3 of them too. But then it stops.

[proper perch]

no i havent gotton any other location like Z13 my friend gotten not so long ago and i haven't

and i have more playtime

[west mountain]

The question is how long you have AlAn in your head.

So you have visited the body cache yet?

[proper perch]

yeah

[west mountain]

Excellent, have you scanned the Alterra facillities map in Delta Island

[proper perch]

im not sure

[chrome cedar]

It isn’t playtime, it’s traveling around the map and scanning any alien artifacts you come across. Exploring progresses the story.

[proper perch]

so can that be the problem?

[west mountain]

Check your PDA under maps.

[west mountain]

No but if you have the map you see the facility Koppa mine. There is one artefact in there for example. I guess you have to explore more to get more beacons and probabely also find some on your own.

[proper perch]

yeah that one i did scan some time ago

[west mountain]

But again, that is not so important for the game play but it unlocks blueprints

[chrome cedar]

Skill issue?

[proper perch]

xD

ok but thanks 🙂

☠️

[chrome cedar]

Elaborate on how you’re stuck then.

[proper perch]

Elaborate on how you're still single and alone

[steel shoal]

There are multiple ways to get unstuck from any situation

That sounds sad

[proper perch]

wc

[steel shoal]

Does it say anything about it?

[cerulean musk]

bit rude

[steel shoal]

Sorry, it meant "no"

[west mountain]

No, but the cold suit will.

[fervent bloom]

Does anyone use the headlamp? It seems helpful, but not more helpful than the rebreather or cold suit helmet, and too bulky to carry around whenever your're less than 100 meters deep or in a cave.

[left marsh]

Waste of ion cube imo

[west mountain]

Only on land when searching a base, like phi or zero or in caves.

[west mountain]

There are so many ion cubes, it does not matter

[left marsh]

I make ion powercells and pther stuff so ye

Besides i jever actually mined all the deposits

[fervent bloom]

Hmmm... you don't need a hand tool then, do you?

[west mountain]

Me too, but still I have lockers full of them, it does not matter

[west mountain]

I find it more convenient, but again, its purely optional.

[left marsh]

Idk what u did but i could barely find any till land area

It is what it is

[left marsh]

It has its uses but taking up that slots hust to see when u could use flashlight is just…

[fervent bloom]

There are often one or two around each ||artifact||.

[left marsh]

I stopped finding them after funny recycling machine

[west mountain]

I would rank the headlamp on 3rd place of all the useless items in BZ.

[left marsh]

Whats worse??

[west mountain]

Thumber and pathfinder tool

[fervent bloom]

Which are the second and first rankings?

[left marsh]

I never realise there was a pathfinder in this game :/

Until andy told me anyway

[fervent bloom]

It works well in the ||Mercury II wreckage||.

[left marsh]

Yeah ig so but i have decent memory

[west mountain]

Gas and Vortex torpedos on 4th place, then booster tank on 5th

[steel shoal]

Gas torpedoes are baaad

Are they still in the game?

[west mountain]

Ah, sorry forgot about them

[left marsh]

Booster tank is just u aaking to drown

[steel shoal]

That reminds me

I should find what's the boost button

[left marsh]

Probably X or summat

[eternal garnet]

it's same as sprint

[left marsh]

Ooh thx..not like ill ever use it

[fervent bloom]

The booster tank is made in the modification station, right?

[left marsh]

I believe so

[fervent bloom]

I either don't have the blueprint, or didn't notice it, then.

[unique jacinth]

Guys is there anyway to get prawn outta fab cavern

It's stuck inside the building

[fervent bloom]

I can't find the Purple Vents crevice with the databox to check.

[west mountain]

Purple vents crevices are under/near the third ||Mercury 2 wreck||

[left marsh]

Shrimp is there

[unique jacinth]

Because uh I can't get it out for some reason

[fervent bloom]

I know where that is... thank you, I'll search there more.

[left marsh]

Grapple arm?

Seatruck dock??

[unique jacinth]

Nope

[west mountain]

There is a site with lots of ||cargo boxes that also has a music disk, maybe there?|| But it is not in the crevices but a bit before the wreck

[left marsh]

No thats control room

[unique jacinth]

Too far i think ill try it though

[left marsh]

Why dont u have grapple arm?

[fervent bloom]

I've been to the place before in this game, but I can't find it again immediately.

[west mountain]

So what databox are you looking for?

[unique jacinth]

I tried

Didn't work

[left marsh]

Ohh

[fervent bloom]

I'm trying to find the databox with the booster tank blueprint again. I might have forgotten to open it.

[west mountain]

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

[steel shoal]

I finally found the button for the Booster tank

It's amazing

[left marsh]

How much o2??

[fervent bloom]

I like that you had already said you loved it before you figured out how it works.

[left marsh]

For how much speed

[unique jacinth]

Not for me

[steel shoal]

Really fun to use, but the oxygen cost is a bit too much

[unique jacinth]

90 seconds

[left marsh]

90?!

[steel shoal]

It's about 10 seconds of boost

[left marsh]

9 per second

[unique jacinth]

Not boost

[left marsh]

How much faster?

[steel shoal]

It feels really fast

[steel shoal]

I knew how it worked, but I didn't know the button

[fervent bloom]

That's what I meant - had you used it yet at the time?

[steel shoal]

No

That's the wrong emoji, but I think it fits

[fervent bloom]

I wasn't sure exactly what you were trying to convey...

[steel shoal]

Is what I wanted to send

[willow apex]

bro how do i build the seatruck docking module 💀 no matter where i place it it says i cant build it

[fervent bloom]

You probably need your mobile vehicle bay to be in deeper water with no icebergs.

[willow apex]

no like the area where you literally dock your seatruck w habitat builder

[left marsh]

The moonpool??

Or seatruck dock

Moonpool needs a bit of depth and seatruck dock is very long

[fervent bloom]

Oh... you need quite a bit of space for it, including plenty between it and what you're connecting it to.

[left marsh]

Btw seatruck dock automatically repairs

[willow apex]

i see. i built it and it has power despite not being connected to anything??? i can dock the seatruck too so it works and produces oxygen n allat

[left marsh]

If its close enough to ur main base that happens

[willow apex]

ah ok

[jovial stone]

Can't believe 4546B has its own thermal blade with the Ice worm

[tacit comet]

Lol

Nature finds a way.

[left marsh]

Also 2 EMPs..squidsharks and crabsquid

[steel shoal]

Why do squidsharks use electricity?

[eternal garnet]

To facilitate eating

[tacit comet]

Because they never have to go home to charge their phones

Obviously.

[left marsh]

Because its cool

[steel shoal]

They're not like Crabsquids that prey on other electricity-based fish

[unique jacinth]

Because they want to eat your vehicle

[steel shoal]

Ah, nevermind, PDA says it all

[left marsh]

PDA is god.

[steel shoal]

They probably eat Cryptolosers/Whales

They use it to hit and run

[left marsh]

Cryptosuchus really do suck

Only benefit is running them over with seatruck

[unique jacinth]

Bz is awesome I changed my mind
Sn: 10/10
Bz: 10/10

[steel shoal]

The change of heart

[fervent bloom]

Imagine a group of them working together to take a glow whale down...

[steel shoal]

I imagine they're like orcas

[unique jacinth]

Before it was 9/10

[left marsh]

But baby snow stalkers?!

[unique jacinth]

I like normal stalkers more they are just special

[fervent bloom]

Some orcas, as you may know, eat fish such as salmon...

[unique jacinth]

But they look so cool

[willow apex]

shadow leviathans are so fast 😭 scary too

[left marsh]

No they look like rats with weird teeth

[unique jacinth]

I like them

[left marsh]

Shadow leviathan fav leviathan

[unique jacinth]

I prefer ghost

[left marsh]

Unless gargantuan exiated ofc..such a powerful force of nature would have been awesome

[unique jacinth]

They aren't as scary but like idk

[left marsh]

Too passive

[steel shoal]

Cryptolosers are amazing, only thing I don't like about them is how loud they are

[left marsh]

chomp chomp chomp

[willow apex]

cryptosuchus roar scared the hell outta me when i first heard it

[unique jacinth]

Snow stalkers are 5x as aggressive as shadow levitatian

[steel shoal]

Indeed, but they also like to hunt on whales. There's a lot of cooperation involved, it's amazing

Unfortunately, Blue Whales and Spermwhales leave them no chance, being able to kill entire orca families on their own. Glow Whales don't seem to be able to do it.

[willow apex]

i want to scan this leviathan

[fervent bloom]

That sounds exactly like my interpretation of squidsharks, though I believe different cultures of orcas have different prey preferences.

I could also see squidsharks whipping their electrical tentacles forward to stun fish in a school, although it doesn't seem to be what they're best adapted for.

[steel shoal]

Unfortunately, their current in-game speed is too slow for them to catch up with anything

[fervent bloom]

I've seen them eat noot fish (and Robin), but that's about it.

[unique jacinth]

I'm going to get glow whales and Squidsharks for my aquarium

[steel shoal]

I used to have a ton of both, but due to lag, now I only have one of each. I love them.

[unique jacinth]

I'm making a whole ecosystem near by my base

[fervent bloom]

Imagine watching squidsharks attack a glow whale, and then seeing a chelicerate lunge out of the gloom and drag one of the squidsharks away.

[steel shoal]

That would be amazing...

[unique jacinth]

Wait didn't pda classify squidsharks as low end levitatian class or something except not putting it in levitatians

[steel shoal]

Yea, kinda silly

[fervent bloom]

Maybe the electrical tentacles are also for defense...

[steel shoal]

I'm glad Squidsharks aren't leviathans

[unique jacinth]

Wait

[steel shoal]

They're the coolest carnivore fish in the game, if they were a leviathan, they would be one of the least impressive...

[unique jacinth]

This means they could make a bigger Squidshark and make it a levitatian if they really wanted to

And idk make it fast

[steel shoal]

They are the reapers of BZ

[fervent bloom]

I would say that they are mostly unique, being a sleek predator that is common in some biomes and is yet extremely dangerous.

[steel shoal]

The Lilypads have too many of them

[fervent bloom]

What makes you say that?

[steel shoal]

The fact that there are 30 of them there

While in other biomes there's only a couple

[unique jacinth]

Maybe it's their breeding grounds or something like that

[left marsh]

Lilypad has too mmy things

[final prism]

im plyang crap macanic

scrap*

[carmine bobcat]

Anyone have any particularly scenic or great locations to build a rather hidden seabase at?

By goal is to build one in a similar location to ||Maida's base||

But not necessarily in the lily pads

[eternal garnet]

Tree spires.
Purple tree area in glacial basin. On land.

[tacit comet]

Crystal Caves, Deep Lilypads, Deep Twisty

And Tree Spires, yeah

[carmine bobcat]

i only found 2 parts of the prawn drill arm

where do you find more?

[tacit comet]

I like getting them in the closest grand reef wreck

oh im sorry, below zero

[willow apex]

he isn't supposed to be here.

[tacit comet]

he frenly

[willow apex]

this is sparse arctic why is he here

[fervent bloom]

You're probably near the East Arctic, which has a chelicerate in the deeper section.

[willow apex]

ur right actually im also bordered by purple vents which has chelicerates

[river lily]

i just installed SBZ on my switch do yall have any tips for me ?

[steel shoal]

Please, listen to the PDA logs that you get

[river lily]

i eill

will*

[steel shoal]

Unlike the Subnautica ones, they actually give useful hints and directions

[river lily]

ok thanks

[chrome cedar]

Break rocks, build tools, scan everything

[rare nacelle]

when will i unlock my beloved base builder?

[river lily]

kk

[open falcon]

Am I the only one who had this bug?

[eternal garnet]

water missing? use unstuck from the menu

and no

[left marsh]

Looks like water filtration machine got all the water

[jovial stone]

Subnautica : horrific abyssal abominations beyond human comprehension...

Subnautica Below Zero : 6 DOLLSR SRIMP SPECIAL!@!!#$!

[steel shoal]

Rock Punchers be like that

[bold crown]

i may have snatched a penguin with a robot

lmfao

[willow apex]

i left him alone for THREE SECONDS.

ok every time i use my remote he just explodes

[fervent bloom]

Where are you trying to pilot it?

They explode if they enter the water, or on ice sheets, I think.

That looks like the Twisty Bridges or the Shallow Twisty Bridges, in which case that is your problem.

[willow apex]

i have heavily overlooked this

i forgot not everything works inside water in this game 💀

[fervent bloom]

The spy pengling is strictly for land use; it is a prototype, and thus tends to explode when immersed in water.

[willow apex]

i was not aware of that and i have crafted four so far

[fervent bloom]

Luckily, you're not wasting materials, because everything is either derived from growable plants or can be found by breaking the infinite rocks excavated by rock punchers.
