below-zero-chat

[slow axle]

I built the fuel storage for it but restarted and I really hate that I did that

[odd grotto]

Never built what thing?

[slow axle]

Neptune

[odd grotto]

Ohh

[unique jacinth]

It's boring to build ngl

[odd grotto]

Well then you should understand what I was referring to

[slow axle]

Yeah

the pool she lives in?

[odd grotto]

The bridges are the Sea emperors tentacles

[slow axle]

Ohh

I see now

[odd grotto]

🤯

[steel shoal]

Twisty Bridges have lots of barnacles, imagine if we could break them like the Reefback barnacles...

[odd grotto]

Oh cool

Nice little feature they missed there

[unique jacinth]

Uranite

[steel shoal]

Making each of them interactive would be really bad for performance

[odd grotto]

You were the one who just put the idea in our heads

[odd grotto]

That's like saying making 2 doors interactive would be bad for performance :_

[unique jacinth]

There are a lot of barnacles

[odd grotto]

😐

[steel shoal]

Not 2 doors, but maybe 2000

[odd grotto]

Maybe reduce the amount of barnacles on the tentacles that way it doesn't hit your console as hard as it would now

And add the gargantuan leviathan while your at it so it evens out

Honestly the gargantuan leviathan is cool I must admit

[unique jacinth]

Would be cool but it's likely extinct

[slow axle]

Does the aquariam module hatch eggs?

[steel shoal]

No

It only kidnaps 1x1 fish that swim close to it

[steel shoal]

The more you think about it, the sillier it gets

[odd grotto]

Well it is but what if it wasn't what if one was still swimming around out there in the endless depths and dangerous agony that is the void

[unique jacinth]

Doubtful

[odd grotto]

Still feeding on ghost leviathans

[steel shoal]

They've been extinct for at least 3 million years

[odd grotto]

It was the only apex leviathan class creature to have existed

Except for 3 others that weren't as dominant and ruling as the other one and only went extinct to precursor interference

[odd grotto]

Sucks we only have the mod now

[steel shoal]

The aliens didn't kill anything, they were studying things

[odd grotto]

And the leviathans were put through harsh studying treatments and did you see the disease research facility? The leviathan that was trapped inside and would've lived if wasn't left in there

[steel shoal]

There are many leviathan apex predators, such as the ||Shadow, Ice Worm and Chelicerate||

[odd grotto]

Actually did you see all the dead baby sea emperors?

[odd grotto]

Oh yeah but the pda doesn't say so so maybe not

[steel shoal]

They tried their hardest to keep it alive

[odd grotto]

No they dissected and killed many baby sea emperors

[steel shoal]

An apex predator is a predator at the top of the food chain.

[steel shoal]

They accidentally killed 1.

[odd grotto]

Yeah but a apex leviathan has to be the top of its respected species and food chain

[cerulean musk]

whay no?

[odd grotto]

And purposely killed like 2 others

[steel shoal]

There was only 1 corpse...

[odd grotto]

Yes look at the last containment facility with the Sea emperor innit

Tommyinnit

[steel shoal]

Please read the logs

[odd grotto]

I need to play through the game again

[cerulean musk]

4 eggs 1 emperor 1 forcefully opened egg with one dead baby

[unique jacinth]

So dragon, shadow, ghost levi, worm and chelicerate.

[odd grotto]

So not accidental

[cerulean musk]

i didnt say so?

[odd grotto]

Dragon maybe not the Sea emperor would've beaten them

[steel shoal]

Ghosts aren't predatory when they're adults

[odd grotto]

The void

[steel shoal]

Emperors aren't predatory either

[unique jacinth]

They are top of known void food chain

[odd grotto]

Damn

[cerulean musk]

yeah they're territorial but not predatory

[cerulean musk]

the ghosts

[steel shoal]

They are filter feeders, that's the same as whales. They can kill predators that swim nearby, but don't hunt them.

[odd grotto]

Ok I need to play through the game again

[steel shoal]

Or just read the logs

BZ also explains what happened exactly

[odd grotto]

Nah playing through the game is the best gaming experience of my life I loved it

[steel shoal]

Pretty tragic, like failing at 99% of a Geometry Dash level

[odd grotto]

Well one of the best

[odd grotto]

I hate that

I'm stuck on clutterfunk right now

[odd grotto]

And also was the one that was frozen in BZ predatory?

[steel stream]

Forcefully and on purpose opened egg, but accidentally killed baby. They tried to get it out alive.

[steel stream]

Looks like a carnivore

[odd grotto]

Oh yeah it does have sharp teeth for ripping through flesh

And claws

For holding on to its prey

[odd grotto]

They couldn't figure out how to open the eggs?

[steel shoal]

It was, but we have no info about its lifestyle. Could be an apex predator, or could be just a regular predator in a significantly larger ecosystem.

[cerulean musk]

yeah but its kinda weird. how would it fit into the food chain?

[steel shoal]

The BZ story explains why

[cerulean musk]

but its not even that old, it has kharah

[steel shoal]

It's 1000 years old, or less

[odd grotto]

Probably far up there considering BZ's leviathans

[odd grotto]

It's been frozen for 300 years?

I think that's what it says

[steel shoal]

99% of all life is gone. Large predators would be the first to disappear.

[odd grotto]

Kharah was infesting that planet since its birth

Or when the precursors came along I forgot

[steel shoal]

It was brought by the aliens for research

[odd grotto]

And then a sea dragon felt like doing a funny and here we are

[steel shoal]

1000 years ago, there was a breach. We know what caused it, but BZ explains the aliens' reaction

[odd grotto]

I know what happened and what they tried to do

My brains working again

[odd grotto]

Wait so how did the leviathans have enough time to evolve, to produce the specific enzyme for curing khara?

[steel shoal]

||Unable to communicate with the Emperor (for reasons you find in BZ), they had to study the eggs to find the hatching enzymes. After failing at forcefully opening one, they decided to study on a different, yet relative species, to make sure they wouldn't destroy any more eggs. While researching the dragon egg, the facility got hit, and all fish inside were instantly euthanized. But 1 specimen left, leading to the deployment of the warpers, and the activation of the QEP|| Does this make sense?

[odd grotto]

Yes but I already knew that from my past research done on this game

[steel shoal]

The enzyme is used by the fish for different purposes, I think digesting and curing diseases. They were lucky that it also cured Kharaa

[odd grotto]

Huh I guess enzyme 42 is the universal curer

It cures all diseases

[steel shoal]

It cures this specific disease

[odd grotto]

And possibly many more

[steel shoal]

Probably 4546B diseases and parasites

Doesn't cure cancers

The scientists had more hope in Kharaa than in the enzyme

[odd grotto]

The diseases were probably closely related and had a similar DNA and molecular structure to the kharaa disease and that's why this enzyme helped fix it

Although kharaa did kill 42B architects so it was a really deadly disease to be exposed to for a small and large amount of time

[steel shoal]

Kharaa evolved too quick for the aliens to synthesize a cure

[odd grotto]

Well they were close

They were on the right path

If I just don't answer the radio for sunbeam will they just not come until I answer the radio? I think it's hardcoded in there that it doesn't act on it till activated I just want to be sure.

[unique jacinth]

I think if you don't activate it you can save them

Well not save intentionally but still save them anyway #subnautica-chat if you wanna go talk about Sunbeam

[broken badge]

You can either
Postpone listening to the radio all together, until you’re ready to do the ||cure and turn off the gun||

Or you can listen to radio messages until you get your first message from Avery Quinn (captain of ||Sunbeam||) and I’d stop listening there, until the same thing, you ||obtain cure and turn off the gun||

[silent coral]

yeah, the only issue I have is that since it is so large I am only getting like 20fps and it takes 30 seconds to a minute for it to place an additional piece

My goal was to have the biggest base, not to break the game

[high kernel]

I've just encountered such a weird bug how can i report it?

Oh nvm got it

[slow axle]

Is it worth getting the ultra oxygen tank?

[umbral flicker]

Long term probably yeah

[high kernel]

I just found a red creature egg with a black tip that takes 4 slots is it worth keeping?

[steel shoal]

Yes

[high kernel]

Alright

[steel shoal]

Once you hatch it, release it near your base, it'll stay around

[high kernel]

Oo so like a cuddle fish?

[steel shoal]

No, just like any hatched fish

But that one is special, in a different way

[fervent bloom]

I'm currently heading back to the ||Arctic Spires|| on foot to retrieve the Snowfox after an unfortunate ice worm incident.

[slow axle]

Take prawn

Man why won’t this mf give me a marker

I need to know what to do

[fervent bloom]

That's a great idea, but I'm playing this game without the Prawn suit.

[slow axle]

I’m not about to spend 20 minutes looking for 4 gold pieces for a couple ||ion power cells||

[slow axle]

Ah makes sense ig

Take thumpers maybe?

[high kernel]

Can someone tell me if i should explore more? ||I'm at some red crystal cave and i just found the last architect body part but i don't have any food and my hunger is at 25||

[fervent bloom]

I managed to reach the Snowfox, and it's still intact and above the terrain.

[carmine bobcat]

Anyone know how many leviathans in total there are in BZ?

Including the vent gardens and anything else that is leviathan class

[fervent bloom]

There are five species, as well as the juvenile variant of the ventgarden and the void chelicerate.

[bold monolith]

The glow whales are included, so quite a few.

[slow axle]

I need gold does anyone know where I can find some?

[fervent bloom]

Ignis, do you know if the supply crate has a spawn ID?

[bold monolith]

They don't have techtypes, the supply crates aren't one thing.

What I mean is that it isn't a specific object that will eventually spawn a bottle, a battery, a first aid kit, a nutrient block, a flare or a powercell.

There are separate objects without techtype.

[fervent bloom]

So you can't, say, create an empty one for base decoration purposes, then.

[bold monolith]

You may spawn a normal crate with StarshipCargoCrate, I don't know if this techtype is assigned to a specific object.

But they aren't supply crates.

Maybe you can grab them with the propulsion cannon / propulsion cannon arm.

[fervent bloom]

I'm fairly sure you can move them with a propulsion cannon, but I was just curious as to whether you could create more.

Thank you!

[carmine bobcat]

So in total that makes 7 leviathans in total? One less than the base game

I don't know if I ||should count the frozen leviathan since it doesn't specify if it's dead? And leviathans can live for quite a long time, sea dragons and emperors are proof of that.||

[fervent bloom]

The ||frozen leviathan|| is very much dead, as confirmed by the developers.

[carmine bobcat]

Sorry not a reliable source only my PDA can tell me what to do

And ||Al-An||

Sometimes ||Maida||

[bold monolith]

Do you count chelicerate and void chelicerate as separate? Ghost and void ghost? What are your criteria?

[carmine bobcat]

I do count void chelicerates and chelicerates as separate leviathans

And I'm not counting ghosts right now until the final list for total leviathans from both games

Floaters...

They get pretty big but I don't know if I'd exactly count them leviathan

And should I include Submodica?

Probably not I think I'll stick to vanilla for now

[bold monolith]

Dead as well?

Because alive I count 6 for the first game and not 8.

[carmine bobcat]

I'm not counting dead

It has to be alive today

So that rules out the ||frozen leviathan|| I suppose

Totally forgot about the ||sea emperors|| though both their juvenile and adult variants

So base game actually has 10 not 8

BZ only has 8

[bold monolith]

I don't know how you count. ||Sea emperor, sea dragon, ghost leviathan, reefback, sea treader, reaper||.

[carmine bobcat]

You're forgetting their juveniles variants, they may not be as big as adults but their still leviathan class

[bold monolith]

It doesn't really make sense to separate them.

Even in the databank the ghost has a separate entry but that is not the case for the reefback for instance, so.

[carmine bobcat]

It is the fact that the juvenile ghost and the adult ghost are seperate entries that I'm separating them all. I'm not going to cherry pick just because a the juveniles don't have entries.

Plus you'll always have one person whose like "what about the juveniles"

And even though they're still leviathan class I'm not counting dead leviathans and I'll still have at least one person be like "what about the dead ones? They may be dead but they're still leviathan class!"

As for BZ entries the vent garden is also separate entries I believe

[oak bone]

What if, and hear me out, you don't count anything because numbers are a government construct to make us pay more taxes?

[carmine bobcat]

And in total there are 8 entries
||1. Glow whale 2. Juvenile glow whale 3. Vent garden 4. Juvenile vent garden 5. Chelicerate 6. Void Chelcicerate 7. Ice worm 8. Shadow leviathan||

[carmine bobcat]

Absolutely genius observation simply astute as ever

This leviathan tier list I've been cooking up is now scrapped in favor of tax evasion

[bold monolith]

There is no juvenile glow whale.

[steel shoal]

I like the BZ leviathans more

[bold monolith]

||Chelicerate, glow whale, ice worm, shadow leviathan, squidshark, ventgarden.||

6 as well. :þ

[carmine bobcat]

I swear I've seen baby glow whales before

[bold monolith]

In your alien containment maybe.

[steel shoal]

Do Squidsharks actually hunt whales? Or is that lore-only?

[carmine bobcat]

Squidshark is big but NOT a leviathan class and you're forgetting juvenile vent garden

And I'm counting the void chelicerate I don't care

[carmine bobcat]

Also I agree

[steel shoal]

Squidshark is in Carnivores tab but the PDA calls it leviathan-class. Void Chelicerates are included in the Chelicerate description.

[bold monolith]

Again I don't count the babies as a separate species.

[carmine bobcat]

Still leviathan-class just like their parents

I'm counting them I don't care

[bold monolith]

And indeed according to the PDA the squidshark is one.

[carmine bobcat]

Anyways I'm putting the tier list on pause anyways

[steel shoal]

You don't care, but we do 🫶

[bold monolith]

I don't really care.

[steel shoal]

Every fish is worth a little bit of our heart

[bold monolith]

It's their list they do whatever they want.

[carmine bobcat]

Actkully if I didn't care technically I wouldn't count them all like you're saying ☝️🤓

[steel shoal]

But you were the one who said you didn't care

[carmine bobcat]

Screw it everything goes on the list now

[steel shoal]

Arrow rays are tasty

[carmine bobcat]

Leviathan class for everyone and everything

[steel shoal]

They're the Reginald equivalent

[carmine bobcat]

We're growing 'em big today

Okay but back to what you said earlier

About BZ leviathans being your favorite

I whole heartedly agree and oddly enough it's the leviathans that aren't actively trying to kill me that I like the most

[steel shoal]

Bring an aquarium module, drive to one and stop piloting. Free leviathan observatory

[carmine bobcat]

Glow whales are goated definitely one of my favorites, the vent garden is incredible and probably my favorite leviathan ever, it's a close tie between that and the seatreaders from the first game.

Probably my top 3 right there

I do really like the ||shadow leviathan too, it looks like a stealth jet||

[carmine bobcat]

Well not exactly "free" I still gotta get materials and build it

[steel shoal]

Ventgardens are a little underwhelming, would love it if the Dead Zone surrounding the Tree Spires had juveniles and adults in the distance, swimming around

[carmine bobcat]

Oh and synthesize blue prints

Maybe but they look very cool

I forgot where I left it but I had an image of a vent garden floating out of water

Looked like a UFO 🛸 😳

[bold monolith]

I don't see they hunt whales in the entry.

It says "larger, slower targets" though.

[steel shoal]

Well, that's pretty much all there is

[bold monolith]

But in the code they are shark, and the ventgarden and the glow whale don't have a specific category.

What is categorized as whales in this game are the jellyfish and the titanhole fish.

[steel shoal]

Okay, so... do Squidsharks hunt Glow Whales in specific?

[slow axle]

I need help finding the final parallel processing unit fragment

[silver olive]

Okay how did ||Margeurit survive Kharaa?||

[next current]

She just ate tons of ||enzyme host peepers.||

[plush fjord]

She's just built different

[silver olive]

Didn't she also ||eat a lot of Reaper Leviathan meat||

[unique jacinth]

Reapers probably ate something that ate a bunch of enzyme peepers probably eating enough for a certain period of time or that

[silver olive]

She's got plot armor without being the MC

She made her own plot armor

[unique jacinth]

She has coolness armour too cool for the bacteria

[next current]

The ||Reaper also ate tons of enzyme peepers.||

[plush fjord]

||Marguerite|| is her own plot armor

[next current]

She's made of the stuff.

[steel shoal]

She was sick and coughing and had blisters on her skin, 10 years before Aurora

[plush fjord]

Part is in the ||crashed ship and the other is where the pilot is||

[unique jacinth]

True

[steel shoal]

The enzyme the peepers had a weaker version of the enzyme that didn't cure, but delayed the infection

[unique jacinth]

She ate so many she lasted till sea emp got to her presumably at some point they did because no water animal has it

[next current]

Btw gamers. Can we all agree that ||she got the blueprint for her Prawn Suit from the Mercury II bow?||

[steel shoal]

||I think she salvaged one, and didn't build a new one. But it definitely came from there.||

[next current]

I'm not saying you're wrong but that would mean ||she would be taking parts from a Prawn Suit that is 20-90 years old. And she does have rusted parts to a MVB in her base...||

[deep gazelle]

What would happen if you triggered the scene where ||margaret confronts you in a prawn suit||, but you are also wearing a prawn suit?

[plush fjord]

I doubt that you can

[deep gazelle]

What’s stopping me? Just don’t go there until you get the prawn. It CAN walk on land

Would it just remove the trigger, or would there be a different animation, or would the game just snap into a million pieces trying to comprehend this

[plush fjord]

I don't actually know

I just don't think the trigger would work

[placid heath]

Okay I did it I started BZ.

[plush fjord]

Nice 👍

[bold monolith]

It won't work indeed.

[plush fjord]

I was thinking about pinging you

[deep gazelle]

I just saw a video about it

[bold monolith]

At some point in early access it worked, but it messed up the camera on Robin.

[deep gazelle]

It won’t work

[deep gazelle]

Cool

[summer jewel]

Is he counted as one even if “only” the text says it but they are under the category of big carnivores? That’s what I was wondering when I read their entry

[steel shoal]

@summer jewel

[summer jewel]

Oh sorry that’s one message I overread

[slow axle]

Somehow my aquarium module (remember you use enamelled glass to build them) broke after I bumped into it a couple times because it wouldn’t attach to my seatruck

Literally touched it 4 times and boom

[steel shoal]

You need to go back a little, and then attach it

[left marsh]

PDA classses squidshark as leviathan class?

Oh ye it says something like low end levitathon class or smthn

[slow axle]

Penglings absolutely count as bioreactor fuel

Don’t ask me how I found that out

[steel shoal]

Bad fuel, but yes

[deep gazelle]

My sister used to kidnap penglings and shove them in a fridge

[left marsh]

So i cant ask that but u can ask what i dis in ‘99

[left marsh]

Who hasnt done that

I had a whole colony

[deep gazelle]

Me 🤯

[slow axle]

Yk with that aquarium module I was gonna leave my truck under a place where penglings usually spawn and catch them for my bioreactor

[left marsh]

You havent played Bz properly then. Its a serious part of the story (ofc not)

[slow axle]

And now I’ve got to make another one

[deep gazelle]

Bruh

[low oxide]

anyone wanna play and hanout in vc? would be nice to chat with ppl while playing

[steel shoal]

Another Portuguese person les gooooo

Sorry, would love to, but I'm kinda busy

[low oxide]

haha yeah

awe darn

Im trying to 100% dont seem that hard.

currently trying to make a nice base

[steel shoal]

Subnautica is pretty easy when it comes to achievements, there are no hidden ones

[left marsh]

PS4 trophies being hidden:

[steel shoal]

This is my main base

I'm making another one in the most dangerous and inconvenient place ever, I have like almost 30 chairs already ✨

[left marsh]

Ohh this is the other one u talked about

Cool!

[steel shoal]

It's not as good, I'd love to put more plants around this one

[low oxide]

omg i love it

[summer jewel]

Is it completely RNG if a Creepvine spawns with a set of glowing seeds?
But that’s a really cute base

[left marsh]

Don’t they always glow..

[cerulean musk]

no it depends on if you grow the clusters or the wine itself

[steel shoal]

They always glow, but only a bit, you need to have a lot of Clusters at once

[summer jewel]

Wait really…..

[steel shoal]

Samples never glow

[left marsh]

Wine?? What u talking bout

[summer jewel]

I’ve always grown the wine and was wondering why it doesn’t glow

[cerulean musk]

pretty sure thats how it works

[summer jewel]

Vine*

[left marsh]

Ahh ok

[summer jewel]

I’ve cut so many Creepvine and put their samples back in, in hope they start glowing LMAO

[left marsh]

Rip

[sinful idol]

Im so scared with below zero. I keep on getting murdered by this big scary fish everytime I go in deep water.

[eternal garnet]

Build the truck I guess

[tacit thorn]

You can plant either seeds or cut piece of vine. if you plant seeds, a fully functional vine grows and makes more seeds. if you plant clipping, it will grow, but not give seeds. Also,m they need 2 perfectly stacked containment units to grow inside base.

[sonic forge]

am i crazy or is ||al-an's voice|| in a jukebox song. and if it is does it mean anything or is it just for fun

[low oxide]

speaking of the jukebox i would really like to be able to listen to more songs

[eternal garnet]

on PC, it can play mp3s

[low oxide]

HOWWWWWWWW WHAT

im dumb

[eternal garnet]

put mp3 files in (windows music folder)\Uknown Worlds\Subnautica

no spotify

[low oxide]

I need to try this right now

omfg

[summer jewel]

Sry for the off-topic but your room (profile background) looks really cool and comfy

[low oxide]

THANKS SO MUCH 😄

[low oxide]

testing it right now!

IT WORKSSSSSS

[summer jewel]

Now what kinda music are ur fish gonna hear lmao

[low oxide]

well so far i only got one song lmao and its Angel - Martin Jensen, jayover, Chrish

[carmine bobcat]

is there anything stopping me from using the prawn suit on land in the arctic spires to evade ||ice worms|| and ||snow stalkers||?

[eternal garnet]

no

[carmine bobcat]

sweet

[carmine bobcat]

status update: im rich

[cerulean iris]

Did you find all the discs?

nvm

[low oxide]

probably not but being able to add the songs I like is really good because shuffling the same 6 songs is starting to burn out on me haha

[cerulean musk]

you can add songs in the game files i think

[fossil cedar]

Anyone else think the ||Shadow Leviathan|| is cute? (Late game leviathan)

[fervent bloom]

Cute isn't the term I would use; it's certainly majestic, intimidating, and awesome in the truest sense of the word.

[fossil cedar]

The eyes are what make it cute to me.

yeah, the... ahem, ||the mouth/stomach|| is certainly NOT cute, but ignoring that, I think it is cute.

[fervent bloom]

It's certainly one of my three favorite leviathans in the game, along with the chelicerate and the ice worm...

[cerulean iris]

Not as cute as the ||Sea Dragon|| from the last game. Their big dumb goofy smiles make my day

[fossil cedar]

ok I can see that, but I respectuflly disagree with who is cuter.

[fervent bloom]

What do you think is the cutest of the small prey fish? I would have to vote for the triops, though the red feather fish qualifies as well.

[fossil cedar]

Between both games, hands-down the hoverfish from base Subnautica.

[fervent bloom]

What about in Sector Zero?

[fossil cedar]

not sure of BZ though.

yeah, either the Trivalve or the Sea monkey.

[fervent bloom]

Oh, I was thinking of edible fauna, but both the sea monkey and the trivalve are fantastically adorable.

[fossil cedar]

oh.

[fervent bloom]

Have you ever raised a sea monkey baby?

[fossil cedar]

I don't have BZ, but I do have Subnautica

so no.

[fervent bloom]

I see. Do you plan to get it in the future?

[fossil cedar]

not right now.

[fervent bloom]

Well, if/when it makes sense for you to get it, I would recommend it.

This isn't the sole reason, but sea monkey babies are very, very cute.

[placid heath]

I already found ||Margaret|| and got a lot of stuff from ||Delta Station.||

[fervent bloom]

You started Below Zero? How are you liking it so far?

[placid heath]

I already figured it's a really small map. I started out in every direction from the pod to discover. There's no place I feel uncomfortable and this one leviathan makes a funny sound when follows. Next step build MVB and Seatruck.

And a habitat builder.

I miss a bit the spookiness and special feelings of subnautica.

[fervent bloom]

The map is small, but very detailed. It is certainly less scary then Subnautica.

[placid heath]

Well since I knew what I needed in the first minutes I got a head start. When you know SN you already know the basics.

[fervent bloom]

There's a glow whale stuck inside one of the ||Lilypad Islands||...

[placid heath]

I found the map and I somehow picked up a pengling and have to figure out what do to with him. I don't care about spoilers otherwise I wont be here but I want to figure things out by myself. I have to admit I had watched speedruns of BZ already.

[carmine bobcat]

best way to play bz is blind

[fervent bloom]

You can't really do anything with penglings other than keep them in aquariums or raise them into pengwings in an alien containment unit.

[carmine bobcat]

story means everything for bz

[placid heath]

Blindfolded I'm afraid I will spill my tea 😉

[carmine bobcat]

british

[placid heath]

No german but I like tea in winter.

I have 500+ hours in SN I do always 100% runs so I like story and will get them all.

[slow axle]

Guys I think my date stood me up, she told me to meet on an iceberg at her greenhouse but I can’t find her or her greenhouse

[eternal garnet]

did you find it, up on the berg?

[slow axle]

No lol can’t find her

Searched this thing up and down idk where else to look

[next current]

XD

[slow axle]

I can only find a hole that leads into the iceberg

And there’s just creature eggs in there

[eternal garnet]

ok. Use the delta beacon. the berg is 1130m east of that, and also south a tiny bit. If you find the satellite, scan that then go next island south-east

[slow axle]

Delta station dock?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[summer jewel]

I’ve played BZ before SN and BZ rarely made me feel uncomfortable, only in deep caves, but SN already makes me feel uncomfortable pretty much right at the start

[steel shoal]

BZ is not really about fear and unease, it's much prettier

[slow axle]

I spoke to her and grabbed the two pdas what do I do next?

[summer jewel]

Yep I realized that and I liked that a lot

[summer jewel]

Well what did she say to you?

[eternal garnet]

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

sorry for FAQ response

[placid heath]

I doesn't seem the leviathans are after the seatruck, are they?

[eternal garnet]

not parked, no

[slow axle]

Talking about sealing a cave off but idk where the cave is

[eternal garnet]

it's in my spoiler above. click it

[placid heath]

And how convenient you spawn in your Seatruck. I accidently died didn't watch my oxygen.

Does entering a Seatruck save your inventory?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[unique jacinth]

Except for the sneak attacks from shadow levitatian

[tacit comet]

They’re frenly

My bestest frens.

I’ve killed them more on accident then they’ve killed me on purpose

[steel shoal]

Read the PDAs you got from the bases, and check the maps. Also, you can explore the area around the artifacts you get as you play, and try to pick up on the hints you get. ||There is an artifact in the purple vents, with some weird fossils, it is very important||

[eternal garnet]

so, your progress? Begin with body part blueprints, bottom of blueprints

[chilly veldt]

Oh yeah the mapp i forgot to check if there's stuff there

Ty ty

[steel shoal]

Happy exploring

[fervent bloom]

Is that one really more important than the others?

[steel shoal]

Yes

||It leads to the shiny place||

[fervent bloom]

Does the PDA entry have anything to do with ||the shiny place||?

[steel shoal]

No

But the location is good

The PDAs I referred to were the voice logs that will lead you to the other part of the story

[fervent bloom]

I thought the ||fossil artifact|| itself was important, but it's just where it is located.

The East Arctic has quite a few icebergs that would be good locations for bases...

[carmine bobcat]

yooo just finished subnautica (BZ), every achievement except crafting a snowfox

because lets be honest prawn suit is much better than snow fox

[left marsh]

Yes. Yes itbis

[broken badge]

Idk, I like the snowfox for certain areas

[left marsh]

I disliked it because prawn suit on land feels so good to use

[broken badge]

Choices are good, that way everyone can be happy🙂

[fervent bloom]

There's something very enjoyable about the Snowfox to me.

[left marsh]

Personally it seemed cool as a concept but wasnt that nice to use

[broken badge]

I can carry it in my pocket for one, and then just take it out when I need it

[left marsh]

Wait you can pick it up?

[broken badge]

Yeah

[steel shoal]

3x3

[left marsh]

I mean i dont see how thats any better..

[broken badge]

Well if I’m going through areas with ladders and such, I don’t have any worries about messing with the prawn, but that’s not the real reason, I just kind of like it

[fervent bloom]

If you give it a quick slot, you can change the battery as well.

By the way, it turns out that the battery the Snowfox seems to use is the second one from the front, as it's visible as missing when removed.

[left marsh]

Each to their own

[broken badge]

O.o I never thought about doing that, cool!

[fervent bloom]

Someone here taught me that, actually. This means that you can use an ||ion battery|| for it, which I intend to do.

[broken badge]

I’d heard there was a way, just never knew exactly how

[steel shoal]

The dock only allows you to charge it

[broken badge]

Yeah it’ll repair it as well. Although you can use repair tool on it when it’s on the ground

[fervent bloom]

What do you mean?

[placid heath]

I have the first parts for ||AL-AN|| but can't find Diamonds 😦 Don't tell I will figure it out by myself.

[steel shoal]

It doesn't let you swap batteries

[fervent bloom]

No, but you can do that when you have it in a quick slot...

[steel shoal]

One thing I really enjoyed was how easy to get all the materials for these story things were. I've found myself crafting multiple hydraulics and antidotes, because they were so cheap...

"there's no way I only need one of them"

(sometimes, I didn't even need them, I'd get them for free)

[placid heath]

Raw materials feel harder to get. You have to swim around a lot to get table corals and I had to search for this battery plants.

[fervent bloom]

Compared to the abundance of table coral in the Safe Shallows, it's a lot harder to find and less numerous than in Sector Zero.

[placid heath]

When you know SN you're used to have basic things around you at your start.

[broken badge]

Raw materials are only hard to get until you realize where to find everything. Then you realize the only thing that’s a bit rare is lead since there’s no large deposits

Why they did that I have no idea (no large lead deposits)

[steel shoal]

I hate getting lead 💔

[placid heath]

Lead are there more purpose for this material than in SN. I already have a Locker of it.

[fervent bloom]

I learned today that you can also break table coral off by hitting it with a Seatruck.

[steel shoal]

I've cleaned an entire biome from galena outcrops

[placid heath]

When you left your knife it's a good sulution. 😄

[broken badge]

Lead is used for a lot more crafting than in Subnautica

[steel shoal]

Glass, modules and foundations

That's pretty much all of my lead spendings

[next current]

So... much... lead...

[fervent bloom]

I always bring almost all of my tools with me, including things like the laser cutter.

Don't forget the test override module...

[placid heath]

Yes I have my basic equipment with me. But I don't really know how useful is this metal detector. found those metal caves by myself.

[steel shoal]

The mineral detector is fine

Helps with finding singular pieces quickly, but its range is quite low

[broken badge]

I didn’t like the handheld detector, but some like it just fine. Whatever works for you is what matters

[placid heath]

I first have to get this module.

[placid heath]

I was searching for silver and it never showed anything. So I put it away. Later I found a small cave with silver and gold pieces nearby.

[tacit thorn]

I cleared whole map 🤣

[steel shoal]

Scary

[next current]

Doubt.

Doubting very hard.

[placid heath]

I started like I finished with SN... I take every piece I can get. But need finally the large room to build a sufficient storage for my needs.

[tacit thorn]

One large room is everything you need.

[placid heath]

We will see subnautica I prefer to have 3 large rooms for my purposes.

I like base building.

[tacit thorn]

oh, the one large room is just for storing the loot.

[placid heath]

yeah true... one large room storage.

[pastel bough]

how do i place the vehicle upgrade console

in my moonpool

[tacit thorn]

aim at wall, must be not occupied by window

[broken badge]

It looks weird like it’s backwards but if the hologram is green, it’s placed correctly

[pastel bough]

ohh ok

thanks it worked

[fervent bloom]

Does anyone have a list of what fauna can and cannot be picked up again after they're released from an alien containment unit?

[eternal garnet]

I would think whether you can pick it up or not, is not changed by having been raised by you

[fervent bloom]

You can pick up titan holefish after releasing them...

[eternal garnet]

that's weird

[fervent bloom]

I think the same goes for eye jellies, glow whales, and rock punchers (though I need to check again), but not for pinnacarids, brinewings, or arctic rays.

[bold monolith]

A bug, pickable fishes are the ones that are usually pickupable.

I just tried and I can't pick up the titanhole fish after I release it.

But I don't doubt your claim. I just believe you had a bug.

[next current]

Ngl I kinda forgot that you can find and hatch Rockpunchers.

[fervent bloom]

I thought you couldn't either, but I just needed to avoid the areas that allow you to replenish oxygen.

[bold monolith]

I tried around them.

[fervent bloom]

Well, there are worse bugs to have...

Do bugs like that tend to be consistent within a game, or are they unpredictable?

I have one more question that I hope you might be willing and able to answer: how much damage, if any, does a lightning strike do?

[bold monolith]

It depends what causes it, if it's a race condition it might be difficult to reproduce.

The lightning does 30 damage. But I don't remember if you can be struck.

I remember you could at some point, when you could have them on Delta.

[fervent bloom]

Thank you for both answers... what exactly is a race condition?

[broken badge]

I remember that people said you could be struck in the past, but yeah idk if you could be still

[bold monolith]

A situation where something occurs at an undesirable time.

For instance, something that reads the permission of a file and later opens it. If you can somehow changes this file to another one after the first check of the permission has been done, the program will open it with its permissions and you could have access to something you aren't supposed to.

[broken badge]

Or the world streaming bug. We have never found a fix for it, because (1) it doesn’t cause a flag on the internal monitoring software (or something of that nature, I don’t understand all that stuff but Ignis I’m sure does), and (2) once the issue has started to occur, it’s too late to do anything to read the data, because the game is stuck and it’ll get caught in a save loop, and you can only force quit which destroys any evidence of what caused the issue. I’m sure I’m not explaining it best, but in order to be able to fix something, you need reproduction steps. And there just aren’t any for the world streaming bug sadly

[placid heath]

Just curious what occurs with a world streaming bug?

[broken badge]

I only know what it looks like. Fish disappear, land then will disappear, it just doesn’t look right
I can show a pic if I can find it

[bold monolith]

I don't think they still use Sentry anyway. The error reporting.

[steel shoal]

I got it on-stream

And managed to get it fixed

Without corrupting the save

I'll get you the vod

[broken badge]

Very distinctive once you’ve seen it happen

These were from my phone because I was on PS4 at the time but you get the idea

The game just stops streaming the content into the game, fish, terrain, etc

Or it’s bugged or something, I’m not sure exactly how the term is applied

[steel shoal]

https://www.youtube.com/live/if3EYwi0hX0?si=wFNpVmDATTqOVp3j&t=7563 It starts at 2:06:03, it was very scary

[placid heath]

In the first place it looks familiar but when you have closer look it looks off. Yes now I can imagine how it looks like.

Thank's Andy

[steel shoal]

The biome doesn't have its signature fog color, and there was no fauna/flora/particles

[broken badge]

it’s just all empty

[steel shoal]

You can't tell which biome it is. After clicking save, the game will load everything, one thing at a time. After a long time, things started appearing quickly, and it successfuly saved.

[broken badge]

I know exactly where that is, there should be a lot of stuff there that isn’t

[placid heath]

It came back while the game wrote the save file?

[steel shoal]

They were very slowly appearing, but when saving it started showing up quickly

Still, one at a time

You can see the cotton anemones popping individually, until there's a large bush of them

[placid heath]

Quickly? It's more like an eternally watching single things pop up out of nowhere.

[steel shoal]

Relatively quickly. Going from 1 entity per minute to 1 entity per 10 seconds is nice

[placid heath]

Is this a common issue in BZ never heart of this bug before?

[steel shoal]

The first save took 19 minutes, but when I got to the place, there were no fish, and no cache. I then tried to quit without saving, but it took 13 more minutes until doing it.

It is a rare, but well known issue.

[placid heath]

Okay hope it won't appear in my first playthrough.

[steel shoal]

It is also a very scary one, and there might be no fix, even if they go back to bugfixing the games

[placid heath]

You can't fix what you can't tell the issue... when it happens like Master of Tomes and Ignis said.

[bold monolith]

This bug is probably fixed.

[steel shoal]

Really?

[bold monolith]

Actually never mind I don't think the SN fix was backported.

If it's the same thing.

It's difficult to tell if it's the same thing, but I see that the fix for a similar issue I found in SN1 isn't in the current build.

[broken badge]

Artyom said this world streaming bug used to happen in Subnautica, but idk how it was fixed. Apparently, due to other fixes done to BZ, it’s thought the world steaming bug is mostly fixed as a byproduct of other stuff done (other fixes) but it’s not 100% gone, in other words there have still been isolated reports I think. But it’s never been a widely reported issue, which contributed to the issue of being able to reproduce it (and can’t fix what can’t be reliably reproduced). So we settle for it being (thankfully) a rare occurrence, and if people notice it happening, DON’T SAVE, FORCE QUIT your game

[eternal garnet]

as often said, to live with this bug on high risk devices, save often

[broken badge]

That’s great advice no matter💯
But of course

[placid heath]

What are high risk devices?

Windows?

[eternal garnet]

I know it's not rare on PS4. Not sure actually

There are anecdotes it happens more on low framerates

[fervent bloom]

I've never experienced this, but I've seen it happen to a friend.

[sonic forge]

crazy that titanium ingots are twice cheaper in bz. i assumed they were the same and kept getting confused about all the titanium still in my inventory

also strange to find stuff like crystallized sulfur and nickel so easily

[steel stream]

Well crystalline sulfur in bz is more like cave sulfur in subnautica

[sonic forge]

yeah, was surprised to find it in the crashfish plant

[versed kestrel]

well that was quick, i just finished the game in only 12 hours

[bold monolith]

It happened over the years for different reasons.

I know how that one was fixed in SN1. It was fixed because I made a video about it when I succeeded to trigger it.

And later I talked to Slava so I know why it happened.

[small hatch]

how long does it take Void Chelicerates to spawn?

[versed kestrel]

my only regret is that when i explored i found things to soon and when i didnt explore i finished alan and then didnt get the dialogue i normally would have gotten

[bold monolith]

3 seconds for the first one, then 40 seconds each for the next two.

[outer schooner]

How do I get diamonds for ||Mark depth 1 Seatruck||

I've noticed they're ||much more deeper than the seatruck already goes, and the youtube tutorials go too the deeper ones, so I can't access them||

[steel stream]

Deep twisty bridges: drive seatruck to 145m and use seaglide to go deeper. Make sure you have rebreather and high capacity tank (both databoxes can be found in twisty bridges canyon, around 140-180m) and keep eyes open for oxygen plants.
Another option, koppa mining site: drive seatruck to the doors, proceed with seaglide and again look for oxygen plants and keep your rebreather and high capacity oxygen tanks on.
Possibly one more option|| if you have Al-an: pin a recipe and go see monkeys||

And of course there's always option to build air pump and pipes or multiple oxygen tanks or carry several air bladders or bladderfish to have more oxygen for deeper dives

[mental flume]

hi, my snowfox has fallen into the ground. What should I do ? (I want to keep achievement enabled)

[slow axle]

I think there’s a spot on it you can grab it from

[mental flume]

I'll try but it is around 50 meters under the ground

[west mountain]

Simply build a new one, no chance of getting it back (or if you have not saved, go back to the last save game).

[mental flume]

And if I use commands, will achievements be enabled after a reboot of the game ?

[bold monolith]

If you save after, no.

[sonic forge]

oh my god you can pick up rockgrubs

[lavish tendon]

Have you found ||the mine||? Search near the entrance, follow the lights outside

[sonic forge]

what am i taking damage from im literally standing in my truck

[fervent bloom]

They can be bred in alien containment, but can't be placed in an aquarium.

Have you ever realized how vast an oxygen plant is? The bulb at the top is over a meter in diameter.

[sinful idol]

Man i keep dying due to hypothermia

[steel stream]

There are several ways to stay warm

[fervent bloom]

Where are you? There are a lot of options for warmth, including food, caves, steam vents, equipment, and vehicles.

[steel stream]

Coffee, peppers, lantern fruit, heat vents, build a base, use a vehicle, go in a cave

[sinful idol]

Uhh this is my first time playing below zero

So the only veichle i have rn is a seatruck

[civic idol]

omg - you can feed the penglings

[sinful idol]

Wait rly?

[civic idol]

just hold fish out - and they'll eat it right out of your hand

[sinful idol]

Ah nice

[fervent bloom]

You can feed brute sharks as well, if they're trying to attack you...

[sinful idol]

I was thinking about builidng a base but idk if i should build it in the water or on land

[civic idol]

both

i'd put it on the edge of a ice shelf and hang it off the ice

[fervent bloom]

Do you have any locations in mind? There are a huge number of great options.

[sinful idol]

Idk

Is there a map for below zero?

[fervent bloom]

I'm sure there are multiple, though I don't know of any in particular.

There is the map in Delta Station, though.

[sinful idol]

Ah i never found it

I once tried going far away searching for stuff on land and died to a rly long fish

[fervent bloom]

If you're having difficulty with land exploration, may I suggest building at least a small land outpost? A larger main base elsewhere is a great idea as well, but this could give you a place to get warm and resupply.

[fervent bloom]

Did this creature burrow out of the ice?

[sinful idol]

Nope. It attacked me from the depths even tho i was in the shallows

It was huge

[fervent bloom]

Was it grayish in color, with spiny jaws?

[sinful idol]

I think

[chrome cedar]

Here’s a tip for land. Build an I Compartment and a hatch, pop inside and you’ll warm right up. Then deconstruct for use later.

[sinful idol]

It kills you in one bite

[fervent bloom]

Especially if your PDA mentioned something about an ecological dead zone, that sounds like a void chelicerate. They're meant to keep you from leaving the map.

[sinful idol]

Ah. So does it go on forever or?

[fervent bloom]

I think there's a limit that, when crossed, will teleport you back. That's how it works in Subnautica, at least.

[sonic forge]

||shadow leviathan destroyed my truck :(||

||i feel like the crystal caves are definitely important but i dont see how im supposed to navigate them.. this things Quick||

[chrome cedar]

Did you visit the old woman’s base?

[sonic forge]

yeah

[broken badge]

Probably missed the important thing on the floor

[chrome cedar]

Yup, that.

Easy to miss…

[broken badge]

Which idk why they have the thing on the floor to begin with, because it just makes it too easy for people to overlook

[chrome cedar]

She didn’t have a truck so it was useless to her.

Also, she handles her own defense pretty well.

[broken badge]

Funny thing that, it starts on top of a box, but after the scuffle with Preston, who knocks you down, it then ends up up on the floor

[chrome cedar]

Never noticed that!

[broken badge]

I use highlight so I discovered that

By recording a video

[chrome cedar]

It’s little details like that which make the game that much more fun.

[limber spire]

land exploration 😩

||what order am I supposed to explore the land alterra bases?||

[worldly badge]

how can i add upgrades to a snowfox?

[fervent bloom]

There's a small panel on the left side, but it only fits one module.

[broken badge]

You can see it on top of the crate before you go through the door when Preston jumps you in this clip

[worldly badge]

found it, thanks

on that note, is there any way to add ion batteries/cells to a snowfox?

as far as i can tell the regular batteries arent good

[fervent bloom]

If you pick it up and give it a quick slot, you can change the battery.

[worldly badge]

oh i didnt know it worked like a regular tool

thanks again

[west mountain]

And like that the hoverpad is an power source independent battery charger.

[fervent bloom]

It charges much faster than the typical battery charger as well, doesn't it?

[west mountain]

I would say so too, the snowfox is repaired and ready in no time at all.

[steel stream]

Whicever order you choose

[carmine bobcat]

||They become a pushover, minor inconvenience with the defense module, as soon as they get you into their grasp you just click and they go away||

[cerulean musk]

man its crazy how much silver and copper there is on land in the ore veins

[fervent bloom]

You can find gold, magnetite, or lithium in some of them.

[cerulean musk]

yeah but in the tunnels there is like 50 of both copper and silver its insane

[fervent bloom]

Are these the ice worm tunnels in the ||Arctic Spires||?

[cerulean musk]

yep

[dusky dragon]

Is there any way to get into the blocked tunnels in the koppa mining site? Perhaps from an alternative side of the island?

[fervent bloom]

They're impossible to access without console commands, and mostly unfinished.

[dusky dragon]

ahhh. Ok. then I won't waste more time on them, especially with the problems I'm having with the game crashing.

[west mountain]

But there are secret side entrances into Koppa mine, two in total. Its worth exploring those.

[dusky dragon]

I did find one of them. I haven't found the other. My base is on the west side of the island, just above the one I know about.

[west mountain]

There is one that ends just behind the main gate and one down in the mining pit.

[dusky dragon]

I know about the one behind the main gate... Haven't found the one in the mining pit.

I may have to take my seatruck down there and do a more thorough search.

[west mountain]

it ends behind one of those nets hanging from the ceiling. Just check those and you will find it.

[dusky dragon]

How do you get in behind the nets?

[west mountain]

That one is loose enough to get through. You will find it.

[dusky dragon]

Ok, that's cool. I didn't know ||there was an entrance to koppa just off the delta station dock||

Incidentally, is there any real purpose to getting the snowfox? It seems mostly useless since it can't really evade the worms...

[eternal garnet]

it's fun when not being chased by worms

[dusky dragon]

Sure, but how often does that happen? 😉 Honestly, it would be more useful if it could skim the surface of the water.

[eternal garnet]

no worms south of the bridge, and you have a thing to find bottom west

In the tree area

[dusky dragon]

Yeah, this is my second play through.

I already have the ||precursor body|| parts, and have been to most places underwater.

[fervent bloom]

Well, it's quite fast, and keeps you warm. You can also pack it up and go up ladders easily, unlike the Prawn suit. I think it gets damaged rather than you in an ice worm attack, and the repair tool works well.

[placid heath]

Interesting I actually kind of stuck I guess I missed something on the previous places I was. I will go back to those Lilipad it was night I was there last time.

[outer schooner]

||The mine||? Where is that.

[steel shoal]

Check your map, it's near Delta

[outer schooner]

Okay, thanks.

[summer jewel]

I actually only build it for the achievement, used it 30 seconds and was really disappointed, never used again

[dusky dragon]

I have it, but the prawn seems better in general.

The one issue I have with the prawn is that when trying to get out of it, you take some damage.

[worldly badge]

is there any way to fix the rubberbanding of the screen when you turn the snowfox?

it seems like a really fun vehicle but that one issue is nauseating

[dusky dragon]

I feel you on that one. It's definitely screwy

[carmine bobcat]

where r the laser thing fragments i’ve found ||mercury 2|| but i don’t even have a laser cutter 😭😭

[outer schooner]

What depth is required to enter ||The caves where that shadow leviathan is||?

[fervent bloom]

There are some in the ||Mercury II||, but they can also be found in the Twisty Bridges, though they blend in extremely well, and I believe in sea monkey nests.

[carmine bobcat]

idk specifically but like 2-3 hundred maybe??

[carmine bobcat]

okay thanks!

[fervent bloom]

It's around 500+, I believe.

The Seatruck with a MK2 depth module can explore most of it.

[outer schooner]

Youch, I only have ||mk 1|| depth

Do you know where I can find kyanite btw?

[carmine bobcat]

in the area ur talking abt lol

idk where else to get it

[fervent bloom]

Kyanite is only found in the ||Crystal Caves||.

[outer schooner]

Thanks

And another question, where can I get ||Spiral Plant Clipping||? For the MK2 upgrade

[fervent bloom]

It's found in the ||Deep Purple Vents||, located underneath the smallest section of the ||Mercury II||, or ||inside one of the two mature Ventgardens||.

[outer schooner]

Tysm

It auto corrected too ryan

[worldly badge]

how do i access this area? i see tons of supply crates but i cant move this box away

[carmine bobcat]

funny stealth jet ignored you at first

[sonic forge]

how are you supposed to get to the ||architect artifacts||?? i have coordinate signals for ||x3j and q59|| but i can't find a path to either, are the cave entrances very far from the signals themselves?
i have already found the ||architect skeleton|| and ||an obelisk artifact in the deep twisty bridges||, both by randomly exploring

[steel stream]

Sometimes the cave entrance can indeed be farther away from the beacon signal

[steel stream]

In ||fabricator facility, deepest part of the map. Maybe worth getting all three blueprints and materials and build everything at the same time||

Save or use if you need them for something else

[steel stream]

Explore. You won't get beacon signals to other body parts, but will get hints. If you scanned the map of Alterra facilities in Delta station, you have some places to look for. Compass helps to go in correct direction

[slow axle]

My first encounter with ||the shadow leviathan|| caused me to go back on my save.

Is it worth getting the ultra high capacity tank?

[oak geyser]

Prawn suit + grapple arm + jump jet upgrade module you can just fly past them

[slow axle]

Don’t think you can get one of those on a prawn

How do I plant Preston?

[slow axle]

I think I found the void

[steel shoal]

Then use a Seatruck

[slow axle]

It already happened.

There is nothing useful there, only chelicerates (similar to void ghost leviathans in the first game)

[cerulean musk]

man where should i build my big base?

[wise bone]

the lilypad biome is nice

[cerulean musk]

like on the big floating rock formation?

[summer jewel]

What do you mean by they don’t respawn? @left marsh

[left marsh]

Once killed leviathans will not respawn..

[summer jewel]

I know that’s why I felt really bad afterwards

I killed him after he invaded my safespace through following me to my base and not leaving

[left marsh]

Ah ok i thought you meant you killed him and he invaded your aafe space afterwards.

[white osprey]

How do you get the cold suit with out freezing to death 💀

[left marsh]

Just use prawn suit to get to area

[summer jewel]

Pepper

[cerulean musk]

prawn on land

[left marsh]

Thermos gives heat too

[summer jewel]

Or salad

[cerulean musk]

prawn on land is crazy broken

[white osprey]

Okay prawn suit thanks 😊

[summer jewel]

Indeed

[left marsh]

With grapple arm it is insanely quick

However since this is another subnautica game it can ofc fall through the ground randomly.

[summer jewel]

Walked through entire ||arctic spires|| without using grapple arm and only got 10 dmg at the end of the walk

[foggy iron]

guys why am i freezing underwater after exiting my base

[cerulean musk]

go a little further down in the water

[steel stream]

In water you freeze if you stay still, but not if you move

[cerulean musk]

save and then go

yep!

did you not enter the cave on land?

its in the area by the trees by a tower

i think so

maybe a bit tilted to the right

not even ||grapple?||

[steel shoal]

To beat the game, you don't have to do much

But to finish the experience, you need to do a lot

[gilded robin]

where do i find table coral

[cerulean musk]

twisty bridges

[eternal garnet]

near the pod, south a little bit in the deeper areas, 50-100m, on the walls

[gilded robin]

thx

[sonic forge]

is there some way to break this? do i need the prawn or something? or is there a different way in

[eternal garnet]

That's an exit / shortcut back. Opens from the other side. Ignore it. Go to the dock west

[chilly veldt]

What's the place with the god of war symbol

[eternal garnet]

you make me google god of war? Color?

[chilly veldt]

Blue

[eternal garnet]

That's greek letter Omega. So it's Omega base, hidden ||inside a big floating rock||

[chilly veldt]

Rock

Cool thanks

[steel shoal]

Oh wow, that's a way to call it...

[gilded robin]

nice

[eternal garnet]

the weird back on it is where modules/rooms go

[sonic forge]

can you find all four prawn fragments at the ||mercury II||? i can only see three

[cerulean musk]

no clue i usually get all mine from ||the brown outpost marked on the map||

[carmine bobcat]

you can also get them from the deep purple vents

[sonic forge]

wow

ok ill check there i would just hate to leave the ||mercury|| having missed something

[steel shoal]

There are only 3

[sonic forge]

ok 👍

[steel stream]

Options for more prawn fragments also in ||phi robotics and outpost zero||

[steel shoal]

||There are 4 in Koppa, plus an upgrade||

[steel stream]

Plus drill arm, which is also in ||Mercury wreck||

[gilded robin]

what's red bone shark thing

[cerulean musk]

friend

[sonic forge]

is it really big

[gilded robin]

it tries to eat seatruck

[sonic forge]

thats your friend 👍 /joke

[steel shoal]

Point the scanner at it

It'll give you the name

[gilded robin]

not going out of seatruck

[sonic forge]

it's a ||chelicerate|| if you don't wanna

[steel shoal]

If you have at least 1 module, you can stop piloting the Seatruck, it'll be the same as turning off the Cyclops engine.

[sweet arrow]

Danger noodle on land is scary with prawn suit... Did over 50 damage to prawn in one hit😢

[cerulean musk]

just dodge them

keep moving and they're no problem

[sweet arrow]

Yeah i was doing good dodging it till it bursted out under me

Also is it just me or is prawn suit 100 times easier to make now compared to Subnautica?

[steel shoal]

You get it much earlier

[sweet arrow]

Yeah

Also why does danger noodle have to be invincible? I could totally take it

😂

[gilded robin]

how to get moonpool

if it exists

[sweet arrow]

Scan ||Marguerite's||

That's how I got it

[gilded robin]

||mech woman||?

[sweet arrow]

Yeah

[gilded robin]

will be fun searching for that

[sweet arrow]

Or i think there is one in a vault thingy

[gilded robin]

thought i found it but it was ||blown up laboratory thing||

[sweet arrow]

You want to know where she is?

[sweet arrow]

?

[gilded robin]

will try to find myself

[sweet arrow]

Ok

Let me know if you want a pointer to the locale

[gilded robin]

||building at like 200m depth with nuclear reactor fragment and outdoor garen bed||

[sweet arrow]

It took me a bit to find her alone

[sweet arrow]

Don't think I've found that yet. Where is it at?

[gilded robin]

in rock

it's like opening in rock

[sweet arrow]

Hm ok but what area?

||Thermal spires?||

[gilded robin]

close to ||lily pad things||

[sweet arrow]

Ok

[gilded robin]

after

[sweet arrow]

Yeah

[gilded robin]

i think

[sweet arrow]

Lol don't know why I put spoiler on that😂🤣

What areas you explore so far?

You have sea truck and depth 2?

[gilded robin]

i have sea truck

[sweet arrow]

Ok what about depth 2?

[gilded robin]

not even depth 1

[sweet arrow]

||you need it to find Marg||

Oof

[gilded robin]

i started playing 3 hours ago

[sweet arrow]

Yeah i would give up on moon pool and ||Marg|| for now

Ok that makes sense

The upgrades are pretty easy to get honestly, at least early upgrades

[gilded robin]

i found ||alien sos cave thing||

still haven't been in

[sweet arrow]

||Sanctuary?||

[gilded robin]

twisty bridges

near ||random unfinished habitat||

[sweet arrow]

||It's safe just bring sea truck to 190m then swim through|| high cap O2 tank gets you through dk about lower tier O2 tanks though

[gilded robin]

just got high cap o2

[sweet arrow]

You play the game already before?

[sweet arrow]

Head for ||sanctuary|| then

[gilded robin]

just installed

[sweet arrow]

Go be a vault hunter, if ykyk

[sweet arrow]

Ah ok

I'll try to keep the spoilers to minor then

[steel stream]

Also realtively close to the unfinished habitat with high capacity tank, is another small platform with rebreather databox, which helps deeper diving a lot

[sweet arrow]

Spoiler

[gilded robin]

ye was there too

[sweet arrow]

Minor but still spoiler

[gilded robin]

with ||crane||?

[sweet arrow]

Yeah

Then there is ||a hallway habitat||

That has ||hab builder||

[gilded robin]

ye was there

got pda

[sweet arrow]

@gilded robin one small tip since you're nearing the point of exploration where you need to ||watch out for danger noodle of the water in purple vents and tree spires||

You will know what i mean if you see it

Also in ||koppa mining|| you can fit sea truck through the doors if you go to the top of them. Just a little tip for later

[chrome mason]

u can fit the sea truck in ||the mines?||

[sonic forge]

||"about a kilometer east of your location"|| ok im here. which iceberg .

[steel shoal]

Yes

But there's a gate that doesn't let you

[chrome mason]

i thought only a prawn could

yeah ik

[steel shoal]

There's a section that allows the Seatruck

[chrome mason]

ohh

[sonic forge]

seriously though is there like a visible light or something

nvm i think i see it

[carmine bobcat]

s

[sweet arrow]

What are you looking for?

[sonic forge]

i found it, i was looking for ||marguerit's greenhouse||

[sweet arrow]

Ah yeah that one is tough, I'm not quite there yet

Where is the ||ppu?||

||parallel processing unit||

[sonic forge]

||the fragments are in the mercury II wreck, there are three fragments throughout||

[fervent bloom]

There are actually six parallel processing unit fragments in the ||Mercury II sections||, three of which require the laser cutter.

[sweet arrow]

Ugh damn it are you serious, I've been able to do that this whole time?!

[fervent bloom]

The laser cutter is still very useful, though.

[sweet arrow]

That still just means all i had to do was make a laser cutter

And the only reason why I didn't was because I saw no need...

I've been trying to get to the ||crystal caves||

For ||kyanite|| for prawn upgrades

Just found the entrance at ||Marg's||

Descending in now, anything i should know before i unpause?

How difficult is it to get prawn out of the ||crystal caves|| ?

Levs don't respawn if you kill them right?

[fervent bloom]

This is correct; very few aggressive creatures do.

[steel stream]

Your pda should notify you about one thing worth knowing...

[sweet arrow]

Yeah i already knew about the ||shadow levs|| they are freaking annoying!!

Also i went in for a while but had to leave because I got attacked, which that wasn't much just had to whip out the op repair tool, and i started to get a little low on food and water.

Didn't see a single freaking ||kyanite||

[pastel bough]

this game is going to give me a stroke

[sweet arrow]

||Yup, went to the edge of the world?||

[pastel bough]

mhm

[sweet arrow]

Yeah

[pastel bough]

and immediately regretted it

[sweet arrow]

Don't do that

Lol

[pastel bough]

also how do i get to artifact Q59

[sweet arrow]

It's no where near as bad as normal Subnautica tho

[pastel bough]

normal subnautica is 10 times scarier

[sweet arrow]

||go through a cave on delta station I'm pretty sure||

[sweet arrow]

Indeed

[pastel bough]

alright

[sweet arrow]

Subnautica they just said throw the biggest creatures. in this they said throw a slightly more intimidating but less dangerous version of large pests.

[pastel bough]

yeah

subnautica could have bigger creatures TBH

[sweet arrow]

The ||void chelly|| is actually quite a bit larger than the normal ||chelly||

[pastel bough]

i know

[sweet arrow]

I think 25m

How far are you through the game?

[pastel bough]

i just got ||Alan stuck in my skull ||

[sweet arrow]

Oh so when it comes to the progress you just started

[pastel bough]

...

[sweet arrow]

Also i don't really care much for the sea truck it's an attempt to take sea moth and mix it with cyclops and sadly its a bad attempt

But the whole idea is neat

[pastel bough]

yeah

is the sea truck and the prawn suit the only things in this game?

[sweet arrow]

Yup

[pastel bough]

awwh

[sweet arrow]

I'm pretty sure

And if I'm being honest the vehicles might be a little to easy to craft

The only thing holding you back from getting vehicles is the blueprints

[pastel bough]

yeah

[sweet arrow]

How many days are you in? Have you gone to ||delta station|| yet?

[pastel bough]

i have

[sweet arrow]

And have you gotten depth 1 or 2?

[pastel bough]

||and i have gone to the old lady's sea base||

[sweet arrow]

Oh so you have depth 2

[pastel bough]

||i have depth 2 upgrade on my seatruck||

[sweet arrow]

Nice

Your gonna get prawn soon i have a pretty good feeling at least

You have lithium yet?

[pastel bough]

of course

i can make the prawn suit i js need the blue prints

[sweet arrow]

Okay nice now you gotta find ||koppa||

[pastel bough]

yeah ||koppa|| is something i have been confused of for a while

[sweet arrow]

Yeah just go ||koppa|| you'll find them fast

Why is that?

[pastel bough]

idk what it is

is it like a new area?

||Koppa mines or something||

[sweet arrow]

Yeah it's an ||alterra mining base||

[pastel bough]

oo

cool

[sweet arrow]

If you go there you are set when it comes to scans for drill and prawn

[pastel bough]

alright

[sweet arrow]

Also one tip ||seatruck can for through the door even though it's not supposed to it's helpful once you get the depth 2||

Do you have moonpool?

[pastel bough]

mhm

[sweet arrow]

Ok

Want me to tell you where ||koppa|| is?

To help find it

[pastel bough]

yes

[sweet arrow]

Okay give me a sec to figure out my power sich and then I'll help, my base isnt producing power fast enough

Because its charging the prawn

[pastel bough]

okay

[sweet arrow]

Thinking I'll make a nuke reactor

[pastel bough]

nuke?

[sweet arrow]

Nuclear

[pastel bough]

oh i thought u were gonna blow up the ocean

[sweet arrow]

Yeah no i was saying I'm dropping a nuke on ||marg's base|| lol

[pastel bough]

deserved

[sweet arrow]

Lol

Especially after she pulled the stun with the custom prawn smh she did it to herself, i mean really it's her hands holding the nuke above her base rn

[pastel bough]

should be the next update

[sweet arrow]

You think you are doing good when it comes to lithium, cause at the point you're at i was really hurting for it

[pastel bough]

bombs and genocide

[sweet arrow]

Lol yes

[pastel bough]

i have 8 pieces of lithium...

thats definetly not enough at all

[sweet arrow]

That's not too bad

Yeah no your gonna need much more soon

Also start storing for electronics

[pastel bough]

suree

now wheres ||koppa||
