[unique jacinth]

Dunno

[cerulean iris]

Bioreactor. The flesh and blood of my enemies fuels my funny little penguin robot

[willow apex]

man ||shadow leviathans|| have absolutely no regard for their own survival i just threw like 4 titanium and a gas torpedo at one and he just continued trying to kill me

[slow axle]

What’s a good starter base location?

[eternal garnet]

somewhere near Delta island

[rare nacelle]

personally, i love the space between thermal spires and purple vents, almost no predators since its the edge of the biome, close to everywhere, relatively flat terrain, delta island nearby

whats the deepest point in the entire game?

[willow apex]

my guess is world edge but not sure

[rare nacelle]

like from the places ill have to go to

deepest ive been is 600m in the ||crystal caves||

[cerulean iris]

Spoiler tags pls, but yeah they aren’t too bright

[cerulean iris]

Between coral bridges and kelp forest. A ton of different things around in that area

[willow apex]

i think it was ||fabricator caverns||

[cerulean iris]

I made one there. Around 30 hours in I suddenly had a VERY big and VERY hungry neighbor that refused to leave

[cerulean iris]

Probably the ||Red Beryll Caves||

[river bear]

is it okay that i have september 2022 below zero build in steam?

[bold monolith]

It's the current update.

[river bear]

huh. i just thought it has to be january 2023 because what the dock update

[bold monolith]

September 2022 is the date the build was made.

You can check the date here: #announcements message.

[river bear]

ah alright

i just thought it's jan 10 2023 because that is what it says in steam news

okay thanks

[bold monolith]

I don't understand why it got this date indeed. If I click on it I see this.

And it isn't the date of the last comment either.

[stoic surge]

I'm sure it works, but I'll just hang out in my Prawn, lol

[slow axle]

The jukebox will not work

[eternal garnet]

in the sleeper module? undock first

[slow axle]

In the habitat

[eternal garnet]

it doesn't tend to fail

[slow axle]

Also I got a sea truck

[eternal garnet]

room powered?

[slow axle]

Wdym

I js placed it in my multipurpose room

[eternal garnet]

and the room has power, right

[slow axle]

Yes

[left marsh]

I have a wuestion meatie

Do you play/playtest exclusively BZ??

I’ve never seen you active on any of the non-BZ related channels

[eternal garnet]

subnautica also. None currently

I just know BZ better

[left marsh]

Oh so is it just that your more knowledgeable on Bz..nvm u said so

[slow axle]

Idk if the base thing is a spoiler

I found a track there

Forgot the name

[bold monolith]

I remember when BZ was in early access I was not active at all on the Subnautica channel.

[left marsh]

But that was during early access..both games are out and finished now

[eternal garnet]

testing continued for a long while after, but it stopped now

[slow axle]

How does the jukebox work then

[steel shoal]

It has a display

You click on the buttons

It's very simple and intuitive

[slow axle]

I think my thing is broken then

I can’t hit buttons

If only there wasn’t a single new feature

Literally one mf feature ruined my entire thing

And I can’t have multiple key binds

[eternal garnet]

got mods?

[slow axle]

Wait a minute

What’s the key bind called to hit buttons

Like the jukebox buttons

[eternal garnet]

left click...

[slow axle]

Left hand?

[eternal garnet]

oh xbox. No idea

[slow axle]

Is it the use thing

[eternal garnet]

yes

[slow axle]

I figured it out

I js have to try find a way to also have a jump thing now

[dusky vale]

I just need to build the rocket and leave on subnautica, wondering when I do if I should buy bz

[eternal garnet]

Just be aware it's different. It's not a sequel. It's very similar though

[fervent bloom]

I have acquired an arrow ray for my aquarium, bred from a pair found in the ||Tree Spires||.

[eternal garnet]

the upvote fish

[fervent bloom]

All I need now is a discus fish, though I still have no pengling or baby sea monkey.

[carmine bobcat]

So get this, the moisture in the air in the below zerl region of 4546B is super high right?

But its also in the negatives temperature wise

So all that moisture plus the really dry cold

Your skin must be super smooth but your lips are super chapped

[brazen fossil]

@minor ore can i please be let back on the server its been a while and i wont do it agian

[eternal garnet]

So very off topic

[worldly badge]

I found the ||architect tissue|| on the other side of the bridge, is there anything else of importance in that area?

[eternal garnet]

||one artifact (greenhouse), total 4 piles of ion cubes, 2 pet eggs, music discs (at least one)||

[worldly badge]

Thanks 👍I guess I'll keep searching

[eternal garnet]

want the map?

[worldly badge]

Sure

[eternal garnet]

by piles, I meant for prawn

[worldly badge]

oooo

[worldly badge]

thank you 🙏

But as for story progression, the only thing important for that is the ||architect tissue||, right? Or is the ||greenhouse|| important too?

[fervent bloom]

I assume the music disc is at one of the tech sites; do you know what song it is?

[unique jacinth]

Take the dive is under the arch breach

[fervent bloom]

I wonder if I've found that... I should go back and look.

[odd grotto]

Hey I just finished subnautica and am going to be playing below zero now is this game good? Like the original?

I've never played it before

[fervent bloom]

It is a wonderful game, but if you are expecting more of the same, you will probably be disappointed. The game-play is much the same, but it's more story-focused, and the tone is very different.

[odd grotto]

I don't mind

I don't want to expect more of the same I want a semi different game but still follows the original games story but still has its own story attached to it

[fervent bloom]

It's really a very different story, though they have continuity.

[odd grotto]

So it still semi follows the original story?

[fervent bloom]

No, but ||Kharaa|| is relevant to a side plot, and the player learns more about the ||Precursors|| and their actions on 4546B.

[odd grotto]

So it does just not very much

I'm going to watch the trailer for it

[fervent bloom]

I guess you could say that, but it isn't a sequel.

[unique jacinth]

More of a expansion of the lore

[odd grotto]

I'm very interested in lore driven games

[unique jacinth]

It has a lot of lore if you look

[odd grotto]

I can't wait to play

[chrome cedar]

Definitely.

It’s set on the same planet, about 2 years after the first game. Main character has a whole different reason for being on the planet and has her own goals. It’s not a survival game like the first, it’s about exploration and discovery.

[odd grotto]

The first game was about exploration and discovery

[chrome cedar]

But mostly survival.

[odd grotto]

Not really you explored the planet found islands, outposts alien structures a wide variety of unique biomes and flora and fauna

[unique jacinth]

Still a good amount survival

Just not as much

[chrome cedar]

Survival was primary in the first, this time its discovery. Yes there is overlap but the focus here is different.

[odd grotto]

Is there building and freedom in this game?

[unique jacinth]

Yes

Building is more fun because there is now music

[odd grotto]

Oh cool

Ribbon plant?

Where are my acid mushrooms!

Emergency supply cache? Is it worth going for?

[steel shoal]

All signals are worth checking

Make sure to read the logs, by the way

They're actually important

[odd grotto]

Do I take the beacon or leave it?

Where do I get the ribbon plants?

[steel shoal]

They're all over the place, in little caves

[unique jacinth]

Some things are different

[odd grotto]

Found them still wish they had acid shrooms

Is there anything like time capsules in this game?

[unique jacinth]

Nope

[odd grotto]

That was like one of the best things

One of the most interactive as well

Where do I get crystalline sulfur?

[unique jacinth]

Crash fish

[odd grotto]

In caves?

[unique jacinth]

In some

[odd grotto]

How am I supposed to get down to 200 meters where some wackadoodle probably got himself killed

[unique jacinth]

Go to kelp for crashfish I'd say

[odd grotto]

I got Morse code message

[cerulean iris]

The trailer is absolutely amazing. Poor Fred haha

[odd grotto]

I found the Sea truck fragments

2 is what I need right?

How do I make it?

I got the blueprint

[odd grotto]

Hahaha

He had a terrible day

@unique jacinth How do I make the seatruck

[unique jacinth]

Mobile vehicle bay

[odd grotto]

And I need the fragments for it?

[unique jacinth]

Yup

[odd grotto]

Dang I died to a crash fish

[unique jacinth]

Rip

[odd grotto]

A sea monkey just took my scanner

[unique jacinth]

Yup they'll do that

[odd grotto]

Well I just killed one

[unique jacinth]

Don't kill them they won't steal stuff after a certain point

[odd grotto]

Well I still killed one

[cerulean iris]

Same as the last game, swim till you get all the not-dying-from-barometric-pressure upgrades. I think you’re going to really enjoy the vehicles in this game :D

[odd grotto]

Is the Sea truck basically just the Cyclops from the 1st?

[cerulean iris]

Here’s a pro tip if you want it. I wish I knew this before I started and finished my own BZ run: || If you act nice to the sea monkeys and you have a recipe pinned, they will bring you the ore and supplies you need. if they take something of yours or you give it, they often go back to their nests, which have a ton of fragments||

[cerulean iris]

It’s a combo of the Seamoth and cyclops

[odd grotto]

How do I be nice

[cerulean iris]

Not brutally stabbing the animals with a child-like mind for playing is one. I’m not sure if it’s really affected anything, but occasionally I leave a piece of ore or two somewhere, and they happily chirp and pick it up

[odd grotto]

Ooh I found penguins

And a mineral detector

Should I kidnap the pengling

[tacit comet]

So mean

[cerulean iris]

Much like how every new SN players first reaction is to fill your inventory with acid mushrooms, I’m pretty sure kidnapping a pengling is the beginner tradition for BZ! Snatch dat birb!!!

[tacit comet]

I mean you could.

[unique jacinth]

What is the best food

[tacit comet]

But the parents get mad, I would too, if I had a child that got kidnapped

[cerulean iris]

Uphold the tradition!

STEAL THE FLOOF

[tacit comet]

Spicy Fruit Salad, no competition

[unique jacinth]

I mean alone

[steel shoal]

Bullseye shrooms

They make cool sounds

[tacit comet]

Andy, you’re a mod, people will believe you

Lmao

[cerulean iris]

That takes a knife so you can’t instantly do it and also they look ugly

[fervent bloom]

You're all missing the obvious one: creepvine samples.

[unique jacinth]

Guys

[cerulean iris]

Wait, can you actually take those?

[unique jacinth]

Seriously

[steel shoal]

Creepvine Clusters are edible now

[tacit comet]

They’ve been for a while

Good for veggie-only runs

[unique jacinth]

What gives the most food without crafting

[cerulean iris]

The vines were, but not the seeds

[tacit comet]

Does cooking count?

[tacit comet]

The seeds were for a while

[unique jacinth]

Not really

[tacit comet]

In BZ, obviously.

[unique jacinth]

Doesn't require anything but base materials

[cerulean iris]

Probably creepvine vines

[tacit comet]

Nutrient block?

[unique jacinth]

Not craftable

[cerulean iris]

Peepers are still super nutritious

[steel shoal]

Ice peppers so yum

[cerulean iris]

Arctic peepers have such a cool design!

[unique jacinth]

I'm going to just get everything I need for my little lilypads base on my new run

[fervent bloom]

The highest food value you can get without crafting anything is from an antennae fruit, I think.

[unique jacinth]

Oh i guess omega is good for that

[steel shoal]

How much?

[fervent bloom]

It gives you 20 food, as well as 5 water and 9 health.

[steel shoal]

Lantern fruit gives you 15 food and 75 heat now

[cerulean iris]

Is it possible to form that somehow? It wouldn’t work in either of my grow beds

[fervent bloom]

You can't plant the fruit, but you can get antennae plant seeds by slicing it with a knife.

[cerulean iris]

I think by the time someone finds the lantern fruit, they’ll have progressed at least a little bit. I think the original intent of the question was to find good food immediately, which is still the arctic peeper. Could be wrong

[cerulean iris]

the biggest face palm in the history of face palms

I AM SOOOOOO STUPID

I never even tried that…

[unique jacinth]

I'm early game and already got to omega is that considered good or average

[cerulean iris]

I’m guessing it goes in the outdoor?

[fervent bloom]

It does, or in an alien containment unit.

[cerulean iris]

Thx

[unique jacinth]

I mean over time good and reliable throughout the whole game actually

[cerulean iris]

Since antenna fruit are pretty close to you’re starting location you can immediately pick them up and eat them so I would say that they are up there in usefulness. When you get the outdoor grow bed, you can grow them on your own.

[unique jacinth]

I have outdoor bed it's pretty early near the thermal vents and twisty bridges border

Though I need to find a alien containment forgot where I found that

[cerulean iris]

While peepers give more, it’s more efficient to grow and harvest antennae and eat your fill all in one place instead of catching and cooking fish

[unique jacinth]

Oh I remember

[steel shoal]

||Hg 2||

[fervent bloom]

I think antennae fruit regenerate in the wild, as well.

[unique jacinth]

M2 bow I think

[odd grotto]

Is the mineral detector worth it?

[unique jacinth]

Can be

[odd grotto]

Is the Sea truck the only vehicle in the game?

[fervent bloom]

There's also the classic Prawn suit and a hoverbike called the Snowfox.

[unique jacinth]

Don't forget the spy

[fervent bloom]

I don't think that's a vehicle...

[odd grotto]

Spy?

[unique jacinth]

Penguin

[cerulean iris]

I love the underwater train that is the seatruck almost as much as the prawn suit

[odd grotto]

Wouldn't the Cyclops be better? You can actually fit plants in it

[steel shoal]

That's the only downside of the truck

The Cyclops is too large for the map, though

[cerulean iris]

The other downside is that you can’t put battery chargers or furniture inside either

BUT it’s also super fun to customize and isn’t a power hog so that’s a huge plus

[odd grotto]

Will the Sea truck be the thing I use throughout the entire game?

[steel stream]

Usually yes

[odd grotto]

Wdym usually?

[cerulean iris]

Yes

[cerulean iris]

It can’t fit everywhere and it can’t go on land

[unique jacinth]

Snowfox is better than prawn on land in my opinion

[carmine bobcat]

@tulip oasis

[steel stream]

I mean that usually players use seatruck through most of the game

[chrome cedar]

Better is relative. If you’re needing to just get from place to place fast, then yes. If you’re gathering resources, then Prawn.

[unique jacinth]

Even for getting resources in my opinion

[steel stream]

Or if you just prefer hoverbike...

[chrome cedar]

No drill arm for the Snow Fox…

Or storage

[unique jacinth]

Faster to get to them and easier to maneuver in the snow making it more convenient

[odd grotto]

How do I get gold?

Where do I get gold???

[odd grotto]

What do I do at the pilots last known position?

[unique jacinth]

Go down

[odd grotto]

?

[unique jacinth]

You'll figure it out

[odd grotto]

Where do I get diamonds????

[unique jacinth]

Just look

That's the fun of the game

[odd grotto]

||someone just went in my head?||

[alpine elk]

player gets 'stuck' in seatruck when exiting. Hear the seatruck door open, but player still in truck and cannot move. PC version.

[next current]

Isn't he cute? :)

[sonic forge]

i have to find blueprints/fragments for a high capacity o2 tank, right?

[steel stream]

Databox, also rebreather needs databox in bz.

[sonic forge]

darn- i already made a rebreather and got blueprints for the ultra high capacity tank, just no high capacity 💀

[rugged swift]

LFG with multiplayer mod anyone down from the beginning?

[oak geyser]

Since when was there a multiplayer mod for bz?

[rugged swift]

a year ago

[rugged swift]

https://subnauticamultiplayer.com/

[rugged swift]

Interested?

[oak geyser]

No thanks

[rugged swift]

no problem its in alpha stage and for patreons anyway

[broken badge]

I didn’t think it was released yet, which sounds like it isn’t😅

[woven anchor]

my seatruck dock isn't working. my base is powered, i have tried deconstructing and reconstructing, closing and reopening the game, removing all modules and it hasn't worked. It docks fine in the moonpool. anyone able to help?

[mellow geode]

how is it not working?

[woven anchor]

i drive into the tube and hit the end

doesnt dock

[rose hinge]

It can be downloaded for free iirc

Patreon is just for supporting it

[rugged swift]

oh well either way need people down to play first

[woven anchor]

on pc btw

[mellow geode]

i'm assuming you didn't reverse in

[woven anchor]

no

it has worked all the times before

[mellow geode]

do you only have the seatruck and no other modules?

[woven anchor]

i have other modules but i took them off, didnt help

[mellow geode]

you need at least 1 module i think

imma check my game real quick

[woven anchor]

really? ill try again

attached a module, still isnt working

[mellow geode]

works for me with just the seatruck alone

[woven anchor]

idk if my game is just bugging out

[mellow geode]

i can even disconnect my modules, dock the seatruck alone, then pilot the modules manually and connect into the dock

[woven anchor]

i have relaunched the game, but maybe i need to reinstall

[graceful monolith]

How much of your inventory do you lose when you die?

[mellow geode]

it depends™️

[graceful monolith]

Like if I had lets say 6 nickel ore and 6 spiral clippings

What would I lose? Is it random or can you only lose a certain amount of an item?

[bold monolith]

Share your save slot.

Here.

[mellow geode]

the idea is that every time you enter your drop pod/base/seatruck, you "secure" all the inventory that you have on you. if you die later, anything that has been secured will not be dropped.

[graceful monolith]

Oooh that makes sense thanks

So technically if I went in my seatruck, didnt pick anything up, and died, I would keep everything?

[mellow geode]

@bold monolith does the seatruck secure inventory?

[bold monolith]

I think so.

[mellow geode]

i assume the same for the drop pod

[bold monolith]

Yes passing a hatch saves it.

[graceful monolith]

Thanks

[mellow geode]

but not a prawn because you cannot respawn inside a prawn

[woven anchor]

how do i do that?

[bold monolith]

You'll lose your inventory from your last trip basically. If you exit your lifepod, break some galena outcrops on the way and die without reaching a base, you'll lose all lead / titanium you gathered except one, random.

[bold monolith]

You compress the save folder.

SNAppData/SavedGames.

[mellow geode]

tl;dr - don't die 😛

[bold monolith]

The location differs depending on your platform.

The store.

[mellow geode]

or if you're prone to dying, keep a beacon on you so that when you die the beacon drops and you can go back to your death location and pick up everything you dropped

[woven anchor]

the savedgames folder or the slot0000 folder

[bold monolith]

The slot folder.

[woven anchor]

there

[bold monolith]

Thanks.

[woven anchor]

alg

[bold monolith]

Give me a moment and I'll test it.

[woven anchor]

aight

[bold monolith]

I docked it once. But when I reloaded to find what I did, I couldn't do it again. I'm still looking for the answer I'll tell you if I understand the reason.

[woven anchor]

yeah idk

alright so i moved the dock to a different place and it worked

imm try move it back now

doesnt work

ig ill just have the dock in a different place

[bold monolith]

I think it's the position of your other modules.

I'm still verifying this.

But if I move them out of the way I dock it.

An interesting observation.

[woven anchor]

thats weird, they've been there the whole game

ill try now

[bold monolith]

I'll make a ticket about it, but I think it's because there is probably a clearance check that is bigger than it should be.

[woven anchor]

that did work, so i guess the modules just got nudged slightly

thanks

[indigo pivot]

Is there anything more to bz than just storyline?

[crude marlin]

Like all the other parts of the game?

[unique jacinth]

They aren't that useful anyway

Just get chip

Meh kinda

You have to go deeper

Deep twisty bridges

Caves under twisty bridges

Not shallow twisty bridges

Just get discs and click on the play button

Speakers maybe

No

They just play

Yeah under that area

[eternal garnet]

jukebox has a speaker built in, use the speakers for other rooms

Also, deep twisty means below 300m. You can swim, there are many o2 plants

But you need Rebreather

[unique jacinth]

Rebreather Removes annoying less effective breathing reminder

Bye

[eternal garnet]

but it's not

[deep kettle]

O x y g e n.

After 8 years this still haunts me in my nightmares 🥲

[eternal garnet]

ah yes the cryptosuchus. they are loud, not so dangerous

[summer jewel]

I’m literally killing them because they are so annoyingly loud, not really a threat but a threat to my ears

[slow axle]

A lot has happened

[ebon ingot]

are they releasing another subnautica game maybe?

[eternal garnet]

it's coming, but slooowly

[ebon ingot]

better have a cyclops

[slow axle]

Subnautica 2

[ebon ingot]

cyclopse

[slow axle]

I hope you can go to the arctic in it

[ebon ingot]

and play w friends

that'll be a W

[slow axle]

I think multiplayer is definite

Think

All I wanted was a hug

And this is what I get

[eternal garnet]

Hold a flare.

[slow axle]

I thought those attracted them

[eternal garnet]

opposite

[slow axle]

Ahhh

That’ll make things easier then lol

I’m currently at PK8 idk how dangerous it is

Deep and scary

[ebon ingot]

bring out the prawn suit

[slow axle]

Back at base

[ebon ingot]

do prawn suits work outside

[ebon ingot]

they shouldve added a stationary seatruck module

so you can station the prawn suit onto it

and bring it to locations

[eternal garnet]

if you are talking about the docking module, it's a thing

find it in ||purple vents crevices||

[slow axle]

What the hell is that

That is not a damn squidshark

How do I get their fur

[eternal garnet]

two ways: use a spy pengling on a live adult.
Or, find rare fur in some caves. The cave south of the lake is one

[slow axle]

Where’s a good spot to find lead?

[eternal garnet]

there's no great place. Twisty bridges and thermal spires (Delta)

scanner recommended: Galena

[fervent bloom]

Does the spy pengling not work on the juveniles?

[eternal garnet]

I never tried

Also pet a baby

[slow axle]

These guys are so cute

There’s 3 of them

Mamas on the way to kick me out though

She didn’t see what I did to her husband

[unique jacinth]

I've seen dozens of fur in stalker caves

[rare nacelle]

where is the outpost zero entrance/ what are the things near it? ive been looking for a while now and i see the land but cant see the entrance of sorts

[unique jacinth]

You'll find out if you are patient

[rare nacelle]

thank you mr helpfull...

[unique jacinth]

You find it by completing more of the story

Is that enough

[rare nacelle]

so its not on the surface?

[unique jacinth]

It is but waypointed after building the alien

[rare nacelle]

ah alr

[steel shoal]

Lillian tells you how to find it

[deep kettle]

Who's Lillian and why is she not swimming around with the penguins? 👀

[unique jacinth]

They say sorry your sister is dead pretty early

[deep kettle]

Oh them.

I think I heard that voice a whole 10 seconds and then never again x)

[steel shoal]

Lillian is so cool

Thom, go play BZ immediately

[deep kettle]

No.

[unique jacinth]

Didn't|| parvan die ||

[steel shoal]

She worked with Sam for a while. She was a good friend and mother

[deep kettle]

I simply don't read the lore, Lillian isn't exactly walking around the map

[steel shoal]

||In the middle of his redemption arc too...||

[steel shoal]

Thom.

You need to replay BZ

Voice logs are so good, and many of them have hints for where to find stuff

[unique jacinth]

I hate lillypaddlers

[steel shoal]

They're so pretty

[deep kettle]

They hate us too, don't worry. It's a hateful relationship 😄

[unique jacinth]

They keep being defensive when I'm literally 20-30 minutes away

Meters*

[steel shoal]

At least they don't have malicious intent... Mesmers...

[deep kettle]

I played a good portion of the game though, bought it during early access.

[steel shoal]

I think using minutes is funnier. It means you're 30 minutes of driving away from them (very far)

[deep kettle]

There's only two achievements I didn't get because I hate the end biome.

[steel shoal]

So you didn't even finish...?

[unique jacinth]

The mesmers just vibe in caves unimportantly I only saw them 3 times only being mesmerized one

[deep kettle]

Not legitimately no.

I don't intend to replay for the ending, I'll be honest I didn't like it all that much.

[steel shoal]

Thimothy Thomas Thom.

[deep kettle]

Andothy, Andy, Andy-person-name-thing.

😂

[steel shoal]

I don't know, maybe that's why you say BZ is SN2. You played it just like SN

[unique jacinth]

Anyway I saw a squid shark trying to kill a glowwhale earlier

[steel shoal]

They do it often

[deep kettle]

That has nothing to do with it xD
Literally google the meaning of "sequel" lol.

[mellow geode]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1002580974162411540.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

[steel shoal]

Whatever, Metal Gear Rising kinda fits the meaning too

[deep kettle]

Welcome to the Subnautica server, how may I help you? 😛

[steel shoal]

BZ, even though it has the same engine, plays very different from SN, that's why the title spinoff, for me, feels more adequate. Sure, it's in the same planet, but it's not following the story - rather, it's gong with an adjacent narrative

[unique jacinth]

Expansion of the lore.

[deep kettle]

It's quite literally based on the story of the first game though :p

There are even a million references to it in the game.

[mellow geode]

but it's not a continuation per se

[steel shoal]

It's adjacent - it's not progressing it, but expanding it in a different direction

[unique jacinth]

Very little of it is influenced by that like maybe 2-5 things

[deep kettle]

It is. Just not with the same protagonist.

Which isn't a requirement for a "sequel"

[mellow geode]

i would compare it to the marvel cinematic universe - SN is like iron man 1, BZ is like, idk, spiderman?

[deep kettle]

Well sure but the basis is still created from the first game.

[steel shoal]

I think a sequel would probably stay with Alterra, and a standalone expansion would explore the places already visited in the story

[deep kettle]

I never really watched most of them xD

[steel shoal]

Both have the same basis, but they explore different parts of the Universe.

[mellow geode]

my point is, both are in the same universe but also different stories but also linked.

the next game might be iron man 2

[deep kettle]

[mellow geode]

but BZ is definitely not iron man 2

[deep kettle]

I don't know what the difference between those are xD

[steel shoal]

Ignis is probably gonna be really upset when he finds out we are discussing this again...

[deep kettle]

Ignis is always disappointed when looking at us, don't worry ❤️

Too late for that anyway 😄

[unique jacinth]

Let's talk about levitatians

[steel shoal]

Shadow Leviathans are beautiful

[unique jacinth]

Worm

[mellow geode]

i kinda forget which levi is which for bz

[steel shoal]

How?

[mellow geode]

sn has a deeper impression on me than bz i guess

[steel shoal]

The leviathans are much more distinct in BZ, only having 1 eel

Reaper is a very vague name, I see people calling all leviathans "reaper"

[unique jacinth]

Ghost is best eel

[steel shoal]

Debatable. Shadow kinda cool too

[unique jacinth]

It's just aggressive 24/7

[mellow geode]

which one is shadow again

[unique jacinth]

That's what I know it for being unsuccessfully aggressive

[steel shoal]

The black one

With glowy bits

[mellow geode]

the one in the ||crystal caverns?||

[steel shoal]

Yes

Very fitting name... quite edgy, too

[unique jacinth]

I need to get prawn

[steel shoal]

Which makes sense, the levi has many sharp edges

[mellow geode]

hmm now that i look at it... ||cheli is peeper leviathan||

[steel shoal]

||It's very chill and peeps out of water...||

Adorbs, would hug again

[mellow geode]

i mean, just look at that mouth... peeper leviathan confirmed

[summer jewel]

Wait so outpost zero is late game area? I thought it was like the earlier parts of the landmasses

[eternal garnet]

You can find zero at any point really. But it is hidden

[summer jewel]

After ||Marguerit’s greenhouse|| would you recommend phi or outpost zero?

[eternal garnet]

phi

Actually no. There's a PDA in zero that reveals stuff about ||a cure||

and zero is a short visit

[summer jewel]

So… zero first

Good then I don’t have to change my plans xD

[mellow geode]

there's nothing stopping you from going to zero if you know the way

plus you get to find a ||snowman||

[steel stream]

I went there basically right after Delta (getting the map), since some pda entry mentioned that Sam was repositioned to outpost zero...so tried to focus on the original goal

[steel shoal]

I focused on the Jeremiah part

Explored the ship as he did

[sonic forge]

i just found the high capacity databox AND the window scan and it was practically right under my base

now i gotta redo my base to accommodate windows

[fervent bloom]

Your base is in the Twisty Bridges? I don't mind having to get the window blueprint, but it's an interesting choice.

[sonic forge]

yeah, im now realizing it may not have been the best decision but eh

[left marsh]

Its not too bad for a really early base but you end up migrating reslly quickly considering how out of the way it ends up being

[boreal forge]

I need some help

What artifact comes after PK8

I've waited for a while but ALAN still hasn't called me

[eternal garnet]

those aren't exactly like radio messages of subnautica. Explore, especially around given artifact beacons

[boreal forge]

I've found 6

How many do I need to finish the game

[eternal garnet]

those don't finish the game. I don't remember but that might be all.
Did you get one in an ice cave on land, under the bridge?

[unique jacinth]

You need 10 for teather

[eternal garnet]

there are 15 artifacts. But only a few beacons to them

[boreal forge]

Oh

That sucks

[eternal garnet]

possibly 6, defginitely less than 9

[boreal forge]

I got 6/15

Its hard looking for them

[eternal garnet]

to be clearer, those with beacons are there to have you discover important things nearby

Not directly drive story, but indirectly I guess

[boreal forge]

Never knew

I'm glad I chose freedom

And I got a really good spawn

I've spent 8 hours in total

I have Seatruck, Prawn suit and a base

[eternal garnet]

There are 3 mostly unconnected storylines: ||Sam, Pilot and Alan.|| Only the last one can end the game, and sadly the others are optional. But you'll miss stuff.

[boreal forge]

2nd one

[eternal garnet]

Sams storyline takes you to something pretty great
Pilot, that you might meet on land, in a cave

When you do, you get a beacon

[boreal forge]

You mean

The lady from the first game

[eternal garnet]

yes

[boreal forge]

Alright

I hate Sam and Pilot story

I only want to finish Alan

[eternal garnet]

again, sam's story takes you to a pretty amazing thing, ||frozen leviathan. Optionally you can cure that , but that bit isn't amazing||

But fine, if you like. Main storyline is great too

[unique jacinth]

How much||antidote|| do you even need?

[eternal garnet]

one

[unique jacinth]

Oh

[eternal garnet]

Crafting is only if you lose it by eg. dying

[unique jacinth]

On my old save I could easily do it but I'm going to keep using my current save

[eternal garnet]

Do I detect a player with a locker full of cure?

I have seen some things, in here. I shall paste one

[unique jacinth]

I never really felt like trying to do it

[still marlin]

i feel enormous power when in the prawn suit. my new goal is to kill the entire population of rock punchers in the mine

[unique jacinth]

Don't

[still marlin]

why 🙂

[unique jacinth]

They aren't dangerous

[still marlin]

i have felt pain because of them

this is my revenge

and it's fun

rubies and diamonds are useless!!

i found drillable copper ore

[unique jacinth]

Damn

Rip rock punchers you will be missed

[still marlin]

it's fun

punching the punchers with my prawn suit

a few punches and they fall to the ground

even if i am a pyschopath, it's better to kill rock punchers in a video game

[unique jacinth]

Better than irl so y'know you do you

[still marlin]

i don't have a prawn suit in real life

[steel stream]

You know that rock punchers give you resources? They dig up rocks which contain ores

[still marlin]

but i may buy a figurine

[still marlin]

i don't care 🙂

[unique jacinth]

They will just live with the not very impactful consequences

[still marlin]

hmm i think i should find marguret maida

[eternal garnet]

yes. you need depth mk1. She isn't at the beacon, she's deeper

[summer jewel]

How do u put videos on “spoiler” on mobile?

[still marlin]

ye i know this is my second playthrough

[eternal garnet]

you have to rename the dumb file to SPOILER_namehere.jpg

[still marlin]

i have mk2

[summer jewel]

That does not work on my iPhone xd

And I made a video on my PlayStation and sent it via ps app

[still marlin]

it's simple. don't use iphone

[summer jewel]

I’m dumb I can just attach the file here, then click on it and press “mark as spoiler” lol

[eternal garnet]

that's how it should be, but it's missing in some apps. Maybe not anymore

or, the iphone app is better

[summer jewel]

My heart was stopping and racing both at the same time ngl (first encounter)

[boreal forge]

He keeps attacking my truck

I always just stab the leviathans

[carmine bobcat]

the zappy zap attachment for your sea truck is great

[long star]

hey all, im just starting sub below zero, and streaming it! Im having trouble advancing because i cant find diamonds. Ive read the wiki and everything. Would anyone be willing to come and watch as a move and guide me? Thanks!

[eternal garnet]

erm. It's just in the deepest spots in twisty bridges. Below 300m

[boreal forge]

Go behind the island

[eternal garnet]

This is a little south of your pod. North is the volcano

[boreal forge]

I called it the Diamd Cop mine

[eternal garnet]

koppa mine. it's a little hard to find

[boreal forge]

It has diamond, gold, silver and ruby

I csnt find any copper tho

[eternal garnet]

it's not named copper mine. Koppa. it's a greek letter

[boreal forge]

K for keen

[long star]

could you help lead me there later tonight? i looked for the koppa and just under the bridges and couldnt find anything.

[sour fossil]

Ma man just unlocked sneak 100

[odd grotto]

How do I get diamonds?

Where do I get diamonds?

[eternal garnet]

in the deepest spots in twisty bridges. Below 300m. This is a little south of your pod. North is the volcano. You need rebreather, but no vehicle

[odd grotto]

What

My sea truck can't even reach that

[eternal garnet]

ya. I know, basically

[odd grotto]

Stupid thing that can only go to 150

[eternal garnet]

park it at 148 (never 149), swim. O2 plants there

[odd grotto]

Ok so just go till I find a volcano?

[eternal garnet]

no... read that again

[odd grotto]

South

[eternal garnet]

I mentioned it because you might not have a compass

[odd grotto]

Ok I will get a rebreather and a compass. What does it look like?

What does the twisty bridges look like?

[eternal garnet]

rebreather data box is nearby at 170m, by a little crane

[odd grotto]

???

Oh wait I already have the rebreather blue print

Does it just look like a revean with a bunch of those weird tentacles

[eternal garnet]

so that's the spot, go deep there

[eternal garnet]

what's "it"?

[odd grotto]

Twisty bridge

[odd grotto]

.

[eternal garnet]

twisty bridges is the name of the biome, the area. The pod is in the shallow part of it

[odd grotto]

Oh

[eternal garnet]

@summer jewel let's be civil in here

[summer jewel]

Okay I’m sorry, didn’t think it was a big deal

[still marlin]

where do i go from pilot last known position to find her

[chrome cedar]

Deeper.

[still marlin]

when i go deeper i end up in that location with cotton stuff

[chrome cedar]

Right near that beacon there are ||some tunnels leading back under the land and also down||. Follow the glow sticks. The cotton area is a different area that’s also important.

[eternal garnet]

also in that tunnel, glowy wall plants. Direction ||NE||

[still marlin]

i see no glow sticks

[chrome cedar]

Go back up to the beacon and start over.

[still marlin]

i'm ther

[still marlin]

i'm there

there are no glow sticks anywhere

[eternal garnet]

omg.
also in that tunnel, glowy wall plants. Direction ||NW||

[chrome cedar]

I’m double checking directions…

[still marlin]

i'll just watch chemical apes

[eternal garnet]

Correction, it was ||NW||

[chrome cedar]

||From that point, down and to the right. Look for the tunnel.||

[fervent bloom]

If you're finding oxygen plants, you're going in the right direction.

[still marlin]

i found it already

[fervent bloom]

Wonderful!

[slow axle]

Where do o build the snowfox

[fervent bloom]

The snowfox is built on the snowfox hoverpad, which requires a separate blueprint and the habitat builder.

[eternal garnet]

right. It does not need base power

Build it where you want to drive

[slow axle]

Okay

Where can I get gel sacks from

[cerulean iris]

The pad has to be built on land by the way. It sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people look at the thing that’s clearly meant to be a dirtbike/ATV and wonder how well it does when you drive it directly into the ocean…

[slow axle]

Lol

[eternal garnet]

lilypads crevices, deep twisty bridges

[cerulean iris]

@odd grotto there’s a place with at least 30 of them, all in one small area. BZ also has multiple deposits of diamond so idk what you mean

[unborn tide]

Is BZ longer than subnautica?

[eternal garnet]

usually it's a little shorter

[unborn tide]

Aww man

I might get it on next sale

[eternal garnet]

you must get, but I am biased

[unborn tide]

Sure thing. I just dont want to drop that much money

If epic dropped it for free...

[chrome cedar]

Not sure when Epic runs sales…

[summer jewel]

If u got a ps5, it’s for 12€ there atm

Bought it there on sale a few days back

[cerulean iris]

Just saw a pengwing get SNIPED by a brinefish! It was hilarious

[summer jewel]

Those damn brinefish froze me like 10 times when I just wanted to scan them in the early game

Almost drowned

[cerulean iris]

The only thing that successfully killed me in BZ was a sea monkey. Sooo many times. I was using an airbladder once to get to the surface, got close, then was stuck in the animation by a sea monkey and drowned

[summer jewel]

Oh god dang that’s painful 😭

[cerulean iris]

I respect the grind. They see something they want and just YOINK it haha. Reminds me of the monkeys you see in populated Indian cities

[odd grotto]

I'm sorry but it's alot more common in the first and I can't find it anywhere

In BZ

[eternal garnet]

are you looking?

[zenith fractal]

Anyone got recommendations for what to do having just started BZ

[cerulean iris]

There’s a decent bit more in BZ from what I’ve experienced, you just haven’t found the places

[eternal garnet]

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

[steel shoal]

Also, listen to the PDA logs. They're important.

[zenith fractal]

Got any recommendations for early base locations?

[cerulean iris]

Save more often than SN, and make an air bladder. There are lots more twisting tunnels found earlier, so it’s good to have a way to get topside of you get lost and without air. PDA logs are also very important on occasions so make sure to catch those

[fervent bloom]

I would suggest the Kelp Forest, Sparse Arctic, or Twisty Bridges.

[steel shoal]

Wherever you find pretty, even above water

[eternal garnet]

south end of starter biome. Meaning away from the volcano

[cerulean iris]

BZ, in my opinion, has way more beautiful environments than SN (not that SN is bad or anything, I just really like how they improved the map design)

Just about everywhere is beautiful

[eternal garnet]

yes it's much less sparse

[fervent bloom]

I'm planning to raise at least one pengwing at some point and release it into the wild. Do you think I should allow it to mature, or release it with adults as a pengling?

[chrome cedar]

Why not both? If you can breed one, breed many.

If you release them on land though they don’t stray too far from where you drop them. I had about 30 at the steps of my land base at one point, was kinda crazy. In water they will swim a bit further away and aren’t usually a problem.

[willow apex]

ive just beaten bz blind after 24h, great game im glad i bought it

[fervent bloom]

That's a good point... it means I need to raise the original eggs to adulthood, though.

[eternal garnet]

[worldly badge]

are these the ||Mercury II sleeping quarters? because i cant find any reinforced dive suit fragments here at all||

[eternal garnet]

theres many of those in the two wrecks

[worldly badge]

oh

[eternal garnet]

third wreck is too small

[worldly badge]

any recommended locations to find the suit?

[eternal garnet]

||The south wreck / the bow||

near some battery fruit ribbon plants

[worldly badge]

Ok so I'm at that wreck rn

where do i go from here?

[eternal garnet]

I don't know where inside

But you are right, sleeping quarters

[fervent bloom]

If you find a lower entrance with Prawn suit fragments, I know the way from there.

[eternal garnet]

also double check you don't already have it

[chrome cedar]

It’s easy to miss, looks like some folded clothes on one of the beds.

[worldly badge]

Oh yes I did find that earlier, lemme head back

[worldly badge]

Is it near the cafeteria?

[worldly badge]

Found it, where now?

[fervent bloom]

Head inside - in the large open area inside, there should be a hole in the floor next to an oxygen plant, with a Prawn suit fragment partially inside it.

[worldly badge]

gotcha

Oh sweet I found it

It was beside the ribbon plants, as meatie described

Thanks for the help guys

[eternal garnet]

Now we tell you there's no lava biome

[steel shoal]

||Plot twist, there is - it's near Koppa||

[fervent bloom]

I started actually listening to the music disks I've found. I think "Survive" is my favorite so far.

[summer jewel]

I wanna put a jukebox in my base since yesterday but always forget lol

[worldly badge]

i just read the alien intruder pda log and the game is literally among us with a few extra steps

certainly not expected

like they even have emergency meetings and votes n everything

[silent sigil]

Is this the one with || parallel processing units|| ?

[worldly badge]

if i recall correctly, there was only 1 of those in the bow

and 2 in the other one

[silent sigil]

Well if i remember correctly this is near the vent gardens right?

[summer jewel]

Lol bro I literally read this one 5min ago and thought the exact same

[worldly badge]

lmaooo

[summer jewel]

Among us and/or Wolvesville online was in my mind

[worldly badge]

no this was in the lillypads around 100-200m away from the bow

[worldly badge]

i dont know wolvesville but i felt a strong resemblance of among us in that, made me audibly laugh

it's just funny to think of people 100 years in the future playing some sussy impostor game

[steel shoal]

#off-topic would enjoy the conversation...

[silent sigil]

I mean having to research every single day is pretty tiring so they prob got bored

[worldly badge]

we are talking about a log within subnautica

[worldly badge]

Fr

[summer jewel]

Why off topic when we are talking about a game that’s been talked about in a pda?

[steel shoal]

Ah, sorry, I thought you were talking about something else.

Alien intruder is fun, used to play something similar when I was much younger

[summer jewel]

It’s an online game with 16 players, teams are village, werewolf and solo killer, village has to vote out/kill werewolf’s and killer, werewolf’s have to kill village and solo killer has to eliminate everyone, short description haha

But further explanation would be off topic

[steel shoal]

Of course there was always a Parvan, who wasn't cheating but everyone thought so

[summer jewel]

Would you recommend the prawn suit with 3 storage modules or 2 and the jump jet upgrade?

[steel shoal]

I like having 3 energy efficiency modules

The prawn eats through power, and the jump jet was substantially nerfed

[summer jewel]

U mean the thermal reactor? Wiki says they don’t stack

[steel shoal]

Wait...

I am once again mistaking things

I have 3 storage

[summer jewel]

Happens to all of us no worries 🍀

[silent sigil]

Wait a minute what happened to each of the characters in below zero except for maida and emmanuel

[steel shoal]

||Sam and Parvan died, Maida blew up Omega, everyone else evacuated||

[silent sigil]

|| so Danielle and Vihn Pham died inside omega lab? ||

[chrome cedar]

Was that actually confirmed anywhere, or just speculation?

[chrome cedar]

I don’t think they did?

[silent sigil]

|| Parvan and Sam's death was stated in pda,dont know if there's proof that maida was the one who blew up the omega lab||

[unique jacinth]

Doesn't a log in her greenhouse say she wanted to beat up the labs or something because they thought it would be fun

[carmine bobcat]

||Maida didn't murder Parvan or Sam. It wouldn't make sense for her to help Robin and potentially expose herself if she did murder them.||

[unique jacinth]

I don't think that's what they are suggesting

They just aren't sure if they destroyed omega I thy

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah but ||Sam was assigned to the Omega lab, so it looks like he's insinuating that Maida had something to do with her death.||

Also did we ever get this fact checked?

[steel stream]

||Sam was not in Omega lab when it was blown up though||

[white rover]

Personal Opinion: Void Chelicerates should be replaced by Shadow Leviathans

[bold crown]

nah they should be replaced by ghost leviathans

[unique jacinth]

No they are where they belong we should have just gotten a whole new thing for the void

Though they suffice

[white rover]

Where they belong? You barely run into them outside of one or two areas and they seem like the perfect type of leviathan to live in the void

[worldly badge]

I wonder if there's a border in the void between the void chelicerates and the ghosts

because that would be a pretty cool scene for a standoff

[unique jacinth]

People go to the void less than crystal caves

So y'know

I think they get seen more

[white rover]

Yeah people mainly go to the crystal caves for story based objectives

[unique jacinth]

So

[white rover]

You kinda have no other reason to be there outside of the story

And unlike the lost river there's not much to explore

[unique jacinth]

Same with the void why move them they are in the best spot for themselves

[white rover]

Its not though

[unique jacinth]

Void is worse

That's objectively the place they would be seen least and then have little to no impact if anything they should be in void and crystal

[white rover]

The same can be said for the ghosts yet they can be found in the void

And again the void at least makes for these dark bioluminescent leviathans to live when they get bigger

[unique jacinth]

Though they are also elsewhere

You are insinuating only be found in the void from most previous wordings

[white rover]

And the fact that it would make sense then a recolor of the chelicerate

[unique jacinth]

I mean they should be found in crystal and void if that's what you are trying to get at though only mentioning the void

[white rover]

Yeah but the chelicerate are less imposing compared to something like the Shadow Levithan (who are kinda the only imposing leviathan you'd find in below zero)

[summer jewel]

How much ||snow stalker fur|| do you usually need? I got like 20 but I’m full to the max and wanted to know if I don’t need that much and can leave some and take other stuff with me

[unique jacinth]

Probably 4 max

[chrome cedar]

4 total to build the snow suit. Unless you’re planning to make multiples.

No other uses.

[unique jacinth]

Maybe 6-8

[summer jewel]

Thanks, you guys saved me 16 valuable slots! Much appreciated

[carmine bobcat]

I wish the void had it's own dedicated leviathan

Much bigger than the others

[white rover]

I mean from the fossils in the lost river its possible massive leviathans live in the void

[carmine bobcat]

Not really the planet can't sustain life that large

i dislike the recipe changes

kinda

enameled glass went from stalker teeth which was boring to get but still easy to diamonds, which are mainly accessed at koppa mines at a depth of 150+ so you'll definitely need a vehicle

it's not really a big issue I mean you get the sea truck within the first hour of playing usually

hi :D

It makes sense to change the recipes because the materials simply don't exist but they could've made a substrate for stalker teeth that wasn't that difficult to get early game

I guess you could still get diamonds early game but, whatever

[chrome cedar]

Recipe changes make perfect sense because they change based on available materials.

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah yeah

not sure how to put this into words- but it makes early game much harder whilst keeping midgame/later the same

[chrome cedar]

You don’t need enameled glass early game.

[carmine bobcat]

You need it for sea truck depth module

to access other places

and prawn suit

[broken badge]

If you have played the objective early on in the game, you can just pin recipes with diamond and lithium in them, and the sea monkeys might bring them to you if you luck out

Which will get you a depth module iirc

[carmine bobcat]

I guess but it's uh, bit wasteful on time? err whatever

[coral current]

what even happened to the seatruck bc im a steam subnaut

[silent sigil]

i thought they only bring lead,titanium and copper man

[silent sigil]

well thats interesting

[silent sigil]

nahh || i meant that Sam and Parvans death were stated in the frozen leviathan's "cave" where they died.I didnt say Maida had anything to do with their death,since Alterra says its because of "negligence".Alterra must've hated Sam since they also locked her in outpost zero for "bad behaviour" ||

[static sphinx]

fr

[carmine bobcat]

Alright good to know

[west mountain]

Well, ||knowing that see allied with a terrorist and together they blew up two bases and causing the death on an innocent father does put this in a different perspective. Also she must have extensively used company equipment and time to meet with Maide (how this got unnoticed by Alterra is a mystery. So in the end, her actions do not seem so heroic as the story wants us to believe.||

[silent sigil]

|| wait so Maida brought back the reaper leviathan to the base on purpose to destroy it? ||

[west mountain]

||Maida blew up Omega lab while Sam blew up the Leviathan cave causing the death of Parvan|| No reaper involved.

[bold monolith]

The reaper is the reason she is there in the first place.

[silent sigil]

|| but the only wreckage there is in the leviathan cave is near the scaffolding? ||

[west mountain]

Well, || it did not collaps the cave or it was re-opened by Alterra. But correct, she only wanted to blew up the entrance to the Phi excavation site. But instead she blew up herself and Parvan||.

[silent sigil]

|| but why tho?The only thing she wanted is for the bacterium not to spread.Whats the reason to blow it up ||

[west mountain]

They ||wanted to sabotage the further study and extraction of the bacterium by Alterra because whe was affraid it will used in an bad way ||

[mellow geode]

chat now CIA redacted document

[silent sigil]

|| i mean with alterra anything can be a bad idea but how exactly would blowing up the excavation site would somehow affect it?Besides did she talk about it with Parvan or did he accidentally get in the way? ||

[west mountain]

||Parvan discovered her by accident (read the PDA) and the explosion was going off in the wrong time (why?) and killed both. Either Sam slipped and fell over the cliff she was standing on and hit the trigger button or something. For sure she did not set off the explosion deliverately but being caught by Parvan was a bas situation for her||

No, hardly any. Not worth other than decoration of your base on land

[silent sigil]

why place it outside tho?If you're out of room just make another multi-purpose room

[west mountain]

It needs to be underwater for sufficiant water production

[bold monolith]

Above the water surface you get only water, not salt, but it's painfully slow as well.

[silent sigil]

there are way better ways to get water in below zero tbh

[west mountain]

Still suit

[silent sigil]

below zero has a lot of op plants

[west mountain]

Yes and no, its a decorative element of your base, and it really produces a lot of water. The main downside is that you have to actively take it out to start the next production run. But once you have it, you get more water than you need.

[silent sigil]

|| wait did you fix the delta tower yet? ||

damn what did you use for power tho?Filtration machines take a damn lot of energy

|| was the base inside the lava zone or the volcanoes in the shallow waters ||

[west mountain]

You can run power connectors all over the map, so you are not restricted that your base is near an acive volcano or so.

[mellow geode]

and if you find the right spots for the thermal plant...

iykyk

it means you don't know then

[west mountain]

Its inside ||Koppa mine||

[silent sigil]

|| koppa mining site||

[bold monolith]

If you explored Delta you should know where it is.

Look at the map.

[silent sigil]

I found it on accident,i dont think the storyline will lead you there,i think you just have to go around the smoking spikes near delta

And yeah you should explore it now because its not really deep

Which is best biome for big base? (I am in end-game)

[broken badge]

Why can’t you just put the water filtration machine and the room it’s in beneath the water line, it can’t be that difficult

(This was for someone else earlier, sorry)

[broken badge]

Lilypads had quite a lot of space, the upper lilypads areas
So does areas in twisty bridges, and tree spires I’d say. Also the way, out near the greenhouse (Maida’s) is pretty empty

[mellow geode]

yes

your seatruck won't fit in that gap

there are oxygen plants inside

not a lot, but enough to explore with

[broken badge]

It can fit, depending on how persistent you are
Save first, in case it gets stuck, you can only fit the cabin though
Technically you’re supposed to find a way through the roof to get into the mine

It helps to make a semi-sideways approach

[mellow geode]

more like glitching through than actual fitting imo

[broken badge]

Well true, it wasn’t intended to take the seatruck that way, but that’s why you save first, but I’ve always managed😂 to

[mellow geode]

you can't take the seatruck via the sauna route either iirc

[broken badge]

That entrance from the picture is meant to be used with the prawn, but you need to get inside there to get the prawn scans, unless you go other places first. But it’s usually the first place you come across for prawn BPs. So I kind of don’t like that reasoning tbh🤷‍♀️

[mellow geode]

the way i see it, the oxygen plants provide enough air to go in, scan, come back out, build a prawn and yolo back in

[broken badge]

I guess, but seems a bit more tedious than necessary to do it that way

[mellow geode]

you won't get very far.

but good luck

[broken badge]

Sounds like they wanted oxygen backup which that would probably work for that, and only that

[mellow geode]

i mean, even with 15 pipes you won't even reach the ||bottom of the shaft||

[silent sigil]

Do you have 135 oxygen?

[broken badge]

With the oxygen plants I don’t think you’d need to reach the bottom

[silent sigil]

There are oxygen plants all over that place

[west mountain]

You can always craft more than one O2 tank as backup. Just remember to fill it manually before going down.

[silent sigil]

Do you have the emergency bubble or the thing that gives you oxygen or can take you to the surface

[graceful monolith]

From my experience with a high capacity tank, the oxygen plants give you just about enough oxygen to let you scan everything

[mellow geode]

lol

it's harder than you think

[silent sigil]

titanium is easy to find through metal scrap around those ||wreckages ||

[mellow geode]

regardless i've never felt pipes being useful

[silent sigil]

They're only actually usable if you dont have a vehicle waiting for you on the surface

I mean koppa mine isn't that deep

Get an extra tank if you dont feel safe enough

damn

[west mountain]

Yourself and vehicle yes, base? Never had a base next to them, dont know that.

But they also dig out resources for you. Just watch them digiging and they leave a rock behind for you to break.

No, powering the base is enough. That does everything for you

The only real usage for those pipes are for the sink, the shower and the toilet. Otherwise never used them.

[mellow geode]

so decorative only?

i know pipes are cheap but using them just for one time exploration seems wasteful

[mellow geode]

yes

y-young man?!

[cloud wind]

Yesterday my amazing internet took me like 4 hours to download the game and then i couldn't start a new game and everyone kept telling me to reinstall it

i verified files through steam and it downloaded 4mb of data and fixed it

[mellow geode]

glitch in the matrix

that works too

come to think of it, even an underwater base shouldn't just become an airless vacuum instantly because the power went out. but i guess modelling remaining air in a base is too much effort.

i don't really remember

[unique jacinth]

Yes all prawn and drill frags are there

[west mountain]

Its just the same game mechanics, nothing to worry about. You need power to light it up, so its just doing its thing.

[steel stream]

But land base without power will also keep you warm. So with a few titanium and quartz, you can build a corridor and hatch to safely operate pengi-bot without worrying about hypothermia and snow stalkers

[bold monolith]

You should really find the high capacity tank, you have a base already and you've 75 seconds.

[steel stream]

You only need 2 for the blueprint (for prawn arm upgrades)

[unique jacinth]

I need to go get the alien containment frag

So I can just have millions of bladder-fish

For 02 and hydration

[steel shoal]

Jeremiah's log directs you to it. Or was it Maida's signal?

[unique jacinth]

It's right by her signal somewhere

I need mk1 first though

I need to have a spawn point down there otherwise I'm probably going to drown more than normal.

[steel shoal]

Look for a lilypad holding a piece, it'll lead you in the direction of it. ||I don't know how do people have trouble finding it, or the lab, or the green house, or the base.||

[unique jacinth]

I know where to find it

I just need to find some quartz

For mk1

[summer jewel]

I had only trouble with ||the base|| the rest wasn’t an issue, but dang that first one 💤

[unique jacinth]

Madia's or one inside the island

[steel shoal]

||The base is in a cave directly under the signal, you can follow the hivemind||

[unique jacinth]

Or just go in a relatively straight direction down

[summer jewel]

The cave thingy

[west mountain]

We will never know unless you go back and try again

Or you take one of my drill arms. I have some in stock right now.

[unique jacinth]

Why

Do you have so many

Anyway how much solar will I need for 3 water filters

[slow axle]

Fabricator module and storage module are they both worth it?

[unique jacinth]

With aquarium or prawn dock yes

[steel shoal]

You can have multiple storages

[slow axle]

Grapple arm feels like it’s been nerfed

[unique jacinth]

I generally just have two trucks

[slow axle]

This is like a conversation irl truckers probably have

[unique jacinth]

Used to be able to launch by using it on seafloor

[steel shoal]

Not at all, it was really buffed - the jump jet no longer keeps your momentum

[slow axle]

That was the best part

[unique jacinth]

It's sad

[slow axle]

I loved going to like deep edges and launching myself off at high speeds

[steel shoal]

Now you're even faster than before, but can't go up

[unique jacinth]

I liked just launching

[slow axle]

Like in the lr when you go to the waterfall

[unique jacinth]

Fun

[slow axle]

Thank god I got a free jump jet upgrade

Best thing to have on a prawn

[unique jacinth]

6 should be enough right?

[slow axle]

So how many is the max for seatruck modules?

[unique jacinth]

Like more than 100 I think

Or something ridiculous

[slow axle]

I can never stop adding them?

[unique jacinth]

You should never have more than 3 per truck

[slow axle]

I thought max would be 2-3

[bold monolith]

There is no limit.

[slow axle]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

With more than 3 I wouldn’t be able to move anywhere really

[steel shoal]

The speed decreases with every module, except the first 2/3 with horsepower

[unique jacinth]

I usually have
Truck 1 fab storage prawn/aquarium
2 aquarium sleeper and sometimes storage

[steel shoal]

But if you don't mind the speed decrease, you can have almost 10, like me

[unique jacinth]

Truck 2*

[steel shoal]

My truck is called Bus

🚌

[unique jacinth]

It must turn like one

[cerulean iris]

I love having an abundance of storage modules to hold all the things. 3-5 storage is always a treat

[slow axle]

How exactly is the Aquarium module useful?

[cerulean iris]

It grabs any fish you drive close enough to and deposits them in a tank. It’s like a fancier, mobile grav trap

You’ll pretty much never run out of food

[slow axle]

Bruhhh

How am I supposed to choose between that and the prawn dock

How drastic is the change in speed if I have 4 modules

[bold monolith]

It is not waterproof.

Build a snowman to keep it company.

I answered this.

No, but the ice shelves are too close to the surface.

You didn't need to remove it, you're right.

They are not terrain.

[bold monolith]

It isn't repairable. You could reload without saving, or you have to make a new one, and be careful to not try it on ice sheets or in the water.

[summer jewel]

In German they are actually called “Seebahn” which means “seatrain”

[cyan gust]

hi guyz

[mellow geode]

they should really put that warning more prominently. the very first spy pengling i made, i put it outside my base and promptly destroyed it

[fervent bloom]

I've been able to drop them outside underwater without them being destroyed, so I think that might happen only when you pilot them... I could be wrong, though.

[bold monolith]

You're right.

[fervent bloom]

Really? That's great.

Do you know whether a sea monkey can steal a spy pengling when you're holding it?

[summer jewel]

As far as I know they can steal everything. Literally stole my scanner when I scanned them first encounter

Thankfully I already had my glider so I could grab it right back out of their hands

[fervent bloom]

They're repelled by flares, and I don't think they steal first aid kits.

[summer jewel]

I’ve actually never used a flare in this game

[fervent bloom]

They're very useful for avoiding snow stalker attacks.

[summer jewel]

I just kill them with my prawn suit
