below-zero-chat

[steel shoal]

No, it's elsewhere

[celest wolf]

should I look inside ||Mercury II?||

[steel shoal]

Definitely

[celest wolf]

I'm gonna make the laser cutter first

[steel shoal]

It has lots of important stuff, like plants, Reinforced Dive Suit, and the Prawn. The laser cutter is important, and the propulsion cannon helps greatly.

[celest wolf]

so I get everything in one visit to get away from those squidsharks faster

one question, do squidsharks attack your seatruck if you're not in it? just checking if I should bring my seatruck or only seaglide and air bladder/multiple air tanks

[steel shoal]

Nothing ever attacks your seatruck when you're not currently driving it.

You can be inside it, nearby or really far - it's immune to all threats

[celest wolf]

the only threat is a bruteshark pushing your seatruck below crushing depth

[steel shoal]

Accidentally, as it doesn't even target it

[celest wolf]

so, do thermal vents have diamonds?

[steel shoal]

Some of them do, I think

[celest wolf]

wait.. what? You need diamonds for a laser cutter, which is needed for ||mecury II||, which is where the reinforced dive suit is????

[plush fjord]

Diamonds are in the deep twisty bridges

[steel shoal]

You can find diamonds elsewhere too, like Plat said

[celest wolf]

I'd rather get 1st degree burns than go to the deep twisty bridges again

nevermind I only found lithium : (

could still use it for a large room tho

[fervent bloom]

@steel shoal , do you have any name ideas for the "hanging plant" and "||Deep Lily Pads|| flower 03"?

[plush fjord]

She’s decayed further

[fervent bloom]

Right. I sincerely hope I was not offensive for asking...

[steel shoal]

Nop

It's fine to ask

It's worse to assume

I can think of the words Yellow, Stems, Spotted and Bulbous

[fervent bloom]

What about the yellow spotstalk?

[steel shoal]

oooo

I like it

I can't think of anything better so we'll go with that

Blossoming Roof-vines?

Wow, Cotton Anemone Crevice is such a pretty biome, no?

[fervent bloom]

It's simpler, but I was thinking of calling it a garland plant. I like garland vine more, though. Regardless, it's an amazing biome.

For the former plant, I'd like to propose a slight change. What about the name "yellow glowstalk"?

[steel shoal]

That's even better, you're right

[steel shoal]

So we call it Garland Vine?

[fervent bloom]

I'll defer to you; I like your name as well.

[steel shoal]

I can't wait to finish naming all the plants and biomes, then we can start writing their PDA entries 🫶

[steel shoal]

Yours is better, I think

[fervent bloom]

It already has a name, but the cliff lantern seems extremely interesting.

[steel shoal]

It looks nice

[fervent bloom]

Do you know where I might find the tongue plant? It has a page on the wiki, and supposedly grows in the ||Lilypad Islands||, but it might not be part of the game anymore.

[steel shoal]

Nevermind

[celest wolf]

do you only lose items you found after leaving your base?

[steel shoal]

Yes. All others are saved. Seatruck counts as a base.

[fervent bloom]

The drop pod does as well, for this purpose.

[celest wolf]

so thats why I spawned inside my seatruck cockpit after drowning

so is it better to bring your prawn suit/seatruck to dangerous areas or only seaglide ||I'm going to Mercury II, which may or may not be infested with squidsharks||

[steel shoal]

I think I already told you the trick with the Seatruck. If you have a module, you can get inside it without piloting.

[celest wolf]

I dont have modules

for some reason sometimes I just spawn in the cockpit, no modules at all

cryptosuchus = giant angry platypus crocodile

[steel shoal]

Yes, that's normal

But if you have a module, stopping to pilot with make it so nothing attacks you

[carmine bobcat]

peeper

[fervent bloom]

There's only one large ruby deposit, correct?

[carmine bobcat]

[steel shoal]

There are 2

[fervent bloom]

Are they both in ||Koppa Mining Site||?

[steel shoal]

Yes

Both in cranes, I believe

[fervent bloom]

One is actually in the bottom chamber, near a wall.

[steel shoal]

oh

Well, one of them is in a crane

[celest wolf]

do cryptosuchus respawn, and how strong are they?

because as soon as I get a prawn suit I'm having a fist fight with all of em

[fervent bloom]

They don't respawn, and they're fragile.

[celest wolf]

alright

[steel shoal]

Tigrinum, you were not suppose to encourage such thing

Now they're going to spam dead Cryptolosers all over the place 😔

[celest wolf]

I can finally get relieved of the constant roars, it makes me think a squidshark or smth is behind me

[fervent bloom]

Some people might only do it if they respawned... anyway, my apologies.

[celest wolf]

ok fine I'll just shock them with perimeter defense

and throw grav traps

also quick question, does bz have the stasis rifle or is that only in the original subnautica

[steel shoal]

Stasis Rifle was removed, same with the Repulsion Cannon

[celest wolf]

: (

[fervent bloom]

What was the issue with the repulsion cannon?

[steel shoal]

Cannon was very buggy

Rifle encouraged an unhealthy playstyle

[celest wolf]

and ramming with a seatruck isnt just as bad? it kills most of the aggressive creatures in a few hits

[steel shoal]

Well, yes

You were not supposed to kill anything other than edible fish

The truck is slower than the seamoth, though

[celest wolf]

then why make them killable 😂

[steel shoal]

Because it's a sandbox game

[celest wolf]

oh well, grav trap is basically the same thing

[steel shoal]

They have healthbars in case you want to use instagib to remove everything and everyone

Cryptosuchus have low health because they're often eaten by the Chelicerate

[celest wolf]

I'll let the cryptosuchus live but I'm killing all of the brute sharks

they're way too aggressive to be near my base

[steel shoal]

If you swim above them, they won't attack you

[celest wolf]

atleast the brutesharks are really bad at turning around, very easy to juke

am I supposed to randomly come across the weird looking ||precursor structure with the architect voice|| in the twisty bridges?

[tacit comet]

Yes

[celest wolf]

soooo, what do I do with these ||ion cubes||?

do I automatically unlock ||ion|| batteries or smth?

[tacit comet]

They’re for certain recipes later on

[tacit comet]

I don’t believe so, not immediately

[celest wolf]

a few high capacity tanks and its time for me to explore ||mercury II|| : )

[steel shoal]

No need for multiple tanks, there are plenty oxygen plants there.

[fervent bloom]

I plan to start diversifying the frost vase plants in my growbeds... I don't feel great about using entreset or spawning them, unfortunately, but I think that's probably a good idea.

[celest wolf]

oxygen plants inside the ship?

[tacit comet]

Yes

Quite a lot actually, enough to survive indefinitely if you have food and water

You just need to keep an eye on your o2

[celest wolf]

I'll bring some cured peepers and purified water first then.

[tacit comet]

I usually often bring a Seatruck for storage and o2, so that’s nice to park outside

[celest wolf]

do the squidsharks not attack my seatruck while I'm outside it?

[fervent bloom]

When you aren't piloting it, nothing will. This is even true when you're inside.

[celest wolf]

oh

do both halves of the ship have stuff in them?

or only the second/first half

[tacit comet]

Both do

[celest wolf]

I'll explore the furthest half just incase theres a squidshark

so I lose the least stuff if I die

lmao the cryptosuchus just disregard that I exist

I've only had them attack once in my whole playthrough

wait where is the ship again

relative to the pilots last known location

[steel shoal]

You can kinda see a floating piece with a growing lilypad

Go a little south if necessary

You can also see an alien cable

It "connects" the wreck to Omega

[celest wolf]

oh I know where the cable is already

I'll go find it and follow it back

nevermind the wreck was right next to me , I couldnt see it because its so damn foggy

oh look, a convenient little dock

wait wheres the other part of the ship

and can seatrucks outrun a squidshark?

[steel shoal]

I think so

[steel shoal]

One of them is in the PDA, the other one has a signal underneath

[celest wolf]

which category is the wreck?

I cant find it in my pda

[steel shoal]

Alterra category

Gone Fishing, from Jeremiah

[celest wolf]

I'm already at that half of the ship

wheres the other half

[steel shoal]

There are 3 parts

[celest wolf]

wheres the next piece of the ship

[steel shoal]

There's an Artifact signal in the purple vents area

The wreck is above the trench, near the Chelicerate

[celest wolf]

ah hell nah, wheres the other one

[steel shoal]

Lilypads area, near the cable

[next current]

Jeremiah was underutilized.

[celest wolf]

is it the area that has an "anomalous" amount of rock?

and is there chelicerates in the lilypads

or only squidsharks and brute sharks

[steel shoal]

I think there is one in the border with East Arctic

[celest wolf]

anywhere near the lilypad wreck? I aint dealin with that

[steel shoal]

No, it's really far

[celest wolf]

so uhhh

I still cant find that part of the wreck, how deep is it?

[steel shoal]

I don't remember, but not very deep

It's close to Delta

[celest wolf]

how do I avoid the squidsharks in deep twisty bridges?

I'm tryna get a storage module

[fervent bloom]

Through use of the boost and the jump module, I was able to drive the Snowfox up the ladder above ||Phi Robotics||.

[steel shoal]

Ooo, nice

[steel shoal]

Stop piloting. Or get hit and repair.

[celest wolf]

I wasnt planning to bring a seatruck, since I wont lose anything from before coming

and if my seatruck gets destroyed its gonna be a pain to craft a new one

[ember burrow]

@celest wolf they aren't that bad tbh, like most predators they'll choose smaller prey over you

also be aware that with a seaglide, you actually move faster the more movement keys you are pressing

that is, pressing 'w' is slower than pressing 'w' and 'd' while looking a bit to the left

and both are slower than pressing 'w' and 'd' and 'strafe up' while looking a bit to the left and down

with this technique, even just W and D, outrunning a squidshark that you've aggro'd is even easier

if you wanna look up how it works, google 'trichording', it's a well-documented thing in pretty much all 3D-movement games, and it's a thing in real life

i used to have a great gif showing how much faster duochording is in subnautica, it showed someone fleeing a reaper by holding 'w' and getting caught, then loading the same save and fleeing by holding 'w' and 'a' and easily escaping

it's like, 150% as fast or something like that

with trichording being like 170% i think? the third key doesn't give you nearly as much

but the squid sharks seem really lazy, idk, i never had any trouble with them and if i see one is in my path, i usually won't even go around it, i'll just go right next to it and they're usually just like 'meh, looks like too much trouble and i doubt it tastes good'

[bold crown]

i started my below zero playthrough on december, got so burnt out from it that i still havent finished it

[ember burrow]

i've been really enjoying below zero, i always put it off because of that one video youtube kept recommending me, it was something like "why didn't below zero hold up to the original?" or something, i never watched it to avoid spoilers but i think it kinda poisoned my opinion

[fervent bloom]

I'm sure a lot of people would have enjoyed it more without reading or hearing negativity about it.

[ember burrow]

i like how they used caves a lot more, it makes navigation feel a lot more of a challenge... with subnautica i feel like as soon as i got a feel for the overworld map, and where each biome was, i was instantly able to understand how everything connected up underground, and it was pretty much just a big upside-down pyramid

[celest wolf]

is there a point to getting rock grubs?

[ember burrow]

with below zero i've explored every biome and i still get totally lost, or pop out of a cave and realize i'm way, way far away from where i thought i would pop out

if you drop one, the lobster attacking you will switch targets

[celest wolf]

u mean the rock punchers?

[ember burrow]

i usually dedicate 1 or 2 slots to prey animals i can drop to distract a predator, but i don't know if it's actually worth doing that for the lobsters, im mostly thinking of squid sharks or leviathans

yeah whatever they're called lol

hey, that's one way you could deal with squid sharks

[bold crown]

i think the only problem i had with below zero is the land contents

[ember burrow]

if you've got one chasing you, dropping a peeper is like, a guaranteed got-away-safely

[ember burrow]

ahh... i got that impression from some of the media coverage, and i've been studiously avoiding going above land

but i think i'm about to get to the part of progression where there's nothing to do

and i'll be forced to go on land

and i'm kinda dreading it

[celest wolf]

is it possible to squeeze your seatruck into koppa mining site?

[bold crown]

there is this one part of the land progression that got me stuck for like 2 hours

[ember burrow]

yeah, there's a tunnel about 100m to the northwest with enough room

although it's a bit of a squeeze and you'll bang on the walls a bit

it's easier to find it from inside, if you don't already know where it is. just go inside and look northwest

[celest wolf]

is it possible to squeeze it through the gate entrance though

[ember burrow]

i don't think so

i think they specifically closed the doors just enough to make it impossible

[celest wolf]

so only enterable without vehicles (prawn suit doesnt count because its a mech)

[ember burrow]

very enterable 😄

[celest wolf]

talkin about the gate

[ember burrow]

but yeah not through that gate, but this tunnel is literally like, almost adjacent to the gate

if you built your base at the gate, having to travel isn't that bad

[steel stream]

Yes, wiggling the cabin alone sideways through the top of the door

[ember burrow]

oh woah really

[celest wolf]

wait is there only 3 prawn suit fragments

[ember burrow]

i think so
if i recall correctly, you need koppa and also one other source of frags to finish the prawn suit

[celest wolf]

wheres the other one

[ember burrow]

there are a couple different options, but i recommend the mercury bow, its got a lot of other stuff you're probably missing hard if you're coming from a lategame subnautica save

||if you are trying to maximize efficiency, pick up the quest from marg on the way||

[celest wolf]

I'm still decently early game

maybe early-mid

[ember burrow]

if you've been mostly hanging out to the north and west of the big middle island, maybe just go exploring to the east

[celest wolf]

u mean delta?

[ember burrow]

yeah

if you grabbed the facilities map, maybe meander on over towards omega, but be on the look out for other stuff on your path

[celest wolf]

which part of the map is it in

[ember burrow]

did you grab the facilities map? it was in delta station

[celest wolf]

is it one of the two on land?

[ember burrow]

no it's the one with the omega symbol, the horshoe

[celest wolf]

k

I'll explore koppa a bit more before going there

is there any prawn suit fragments at mercury II?

[ember burrow]

the bow

the mercury broke into 3 big pieces and they're spread across different biomes

[celest wolf]

is that the one near lilypads

[ember burrow]

but the bow has all of the goodies you'll be wanting

[celest wolf]

or the one near the chelicerate

[ember burrow]

||alien containment, large room, water filtration, and lots of thermal reactor fragments everywhere||

it's the one near lilypads

[celest wolf]

alright

is it near the "anomalous rock formation"?

[ember burrow]

if you aren't like, trying to solve all the puzzles yourself, i'd just recommend taking the following route: ||go to marg's base, you've already got it beaconed as 'pilot's last location'. she will tell you to do something that means you'll have to go to all 3 segments of the mercury. go to bow, get the quest item + all blueprints. go to delta base, get everything. then go to deep lily pads until you get enough magnetite to max out a scanner room or two. then head back||

but that's like literally walkthrough levels of following a guide, don't click if you don't want that

[celest wolf]

is it near the anomalous rock formation?

or closer to "pilots last known location"?

[ember burrow]

oh woah you got a beacon for the anomalous rock formation? huh

[celest wolf]

no but my pda told me about one while I was exploring lilypads

[ember burrow]

the rock formation is dead-center of the lilypads zone, omega on your facilities map, the bow is southwest of there

[celest wolf]

any squidsharks I should be concerned about on the way there?

[ember burrow]

much worse

[celest wolf]

chelicerates?

[ember burrow]

yeah altho in the lilypad zone itself they're not that bad

my last hint before i clam up and stop possibly ruining your experience with too much info is: maybe go check out the pilot first

it's sorta on the way, is the only reason i recommend it

[celest wolf]

alr

[ember burrow]

or like, it represents a good landmark that will help you orientate yourself as you explore the eastern portion of the map

something like that

[celest wolf]

Only parts of the story I did are meeting the pilot at delta and finding the ||architect facility in twisty bridges||

[ember burrow]

ah so seamonkies are your friend now? you can use that to cheat out some magnetite way before you're supposed to have any, more than enough to make a scanning room

the first time a seamonkey brought me a chunk of magnetite i was legit dumbfounded

[celest wolf]

I already have some magnetite

[ember burrow]

oh cool you explored those deep lilypad caves then

[celest wolf]

I dont have alien containment so I cant hatch the sea monkey I found though

[celest wolf]

nope

[ember burrow]

oh huh. where'd you get magnetite?

[celest wolf]

idk probably somewhere near the thermal spires

wait no thats not right

[sonic forge]

also iirc if you pin a blueprint then sea monkeys vvill bring you ingredients of that blueprint if they can

[ember burrow]

^ yup, i deliberately pinned the scanning range upgrade because it only has 1 copper 1 magnetite and as far as i could tell, sea monkeys would bring me 50% copper and 50% magnetite

[celest wolf]

I think I found the magnetite near phi robotics, where the snow stalkers are

[ember burrow]

i ended up using the first magnetite i got to build a little scanning outpost in the deep lilypad caves, down where the lightning turns red, and then i sucked up all the magnetite i could find

then i built little scanner outposts in every biome

i am kinda doing everything i can possibly do before going up above ground, im dreading the arctic sections of this game lol. those parts of the map look so big and this is supposed to be an underwater game

[celest wolf]

cmon, everybody knows you need to use your first magnetite for a magnetic newtons cradle

[ember burrow]

the scanners come in handy so often though, being able to scan for leviathans so i can just see where they are on my HUD and not have to worry...

[fervent bloom]

The arctic biomes are disorienting, but I found them enjoyable. The ||Glacial Basin|| is probably the section you will explore first; it's large, but broken into small sections, each with different characteristics.

[ember burrow]

i kinda wonder, like... i still have some ||alien artifact beacons|| to follow up on... will i be able to just ||build this alien his body and beat the game|| without ever investigating what happened to sam? can i literally just ignore my sister and never go above water lol

[fervent bloom]

You need to visit a land biome called the ||Arctic Spires|| to find one of ||Al-an's components||. Unfortunately, you can ignore Sam's storyline, but I would suggest that you do not. Keep exploring, especially in the ||Glacial Forest||.

[ember burrow]

i also... hm. i feel a bit guilty for saying this. but the protag actually makes me want to defend alterra's point of view rofl. ||she's got a literal sapient alien entity in her head. why would she ever want to evict him. she could bring him back to civilization and be super rich. those altera guys were salivating over the chance of maybe finding some alien language related artifacts or biopatent-worthy specimens. protag's brain has to be the single most valuable object in the entire galaxy at this point. he could probably just straightforwardly tell her how to achieve biological immortality and antigravity and ion cube level energy storage and neural radiotelepathy, the true history of the galaxy, the history of his superadvanced civilization, EVERYTHING, and it doesn't even cross her mind||

||he's literally like "hey, why haven't you guys set up radio telepathy yet?" and she's like "well we prefer our privacy" instead of "we don't know how", and he explicitly points out how this is insane, and she's just like "meh". what she's found is absurdly valuable, and i don't just mean in the "alterra's stock price reached an all-time-high" value, i mean the "feed the hungry, heal the sick, clothe the naked" sense... and it just kinda doesn't occur to her, and i really do think it's because she sorta thinks "ugh that's what alterra would do if they were me"||

thanks for coming to my ted talk

[fervent bloom]

I can see your point. However, I think ||AL-AN|| may have lost some of their information... Robin might also not want her brain to be a valuable object, as she doesn't know if they did something to Sam.

[ember burrow]

i guess that's a fair point but... idk. ||i just finished exploring delta base, at present it looks like marg blew up the base, probably after some kind of infoleak originating with sam's conversation with vinh about the mutation artwork. if i were protag, i'd definitely blame alterra for sam's death. i'd want to get back at them. i'd want revenge. i feel like... to have an entity with trillions of trillions of dollars of valuable information fall in my lap... if i'm the protagonist, i would immediately begin thinking of ways to leverage that value to get back at alterra. maybe start a new company seeded with valuable alien secrets to ensure it becomes a megacorp, then slowly choke alterra to bankruptcy... or something like that. the fact that protag never even, like, jokes about it, feels so... ugh. c'mon girl. you've been handed the keys to the kingdom. heroically deciding not to use them to wreak havoc is one thing, but it feels more like she doesn't even realize they're valuable. i just want to throw her into an alterra employee personal mindset training seminar or make her read some ayn rand, and i can't believe i'm saying that||

[sonic forge]

stuff like this did cross my mind i agree like. especially after ||you scan stuff at the cache with the architect skeleton and the pda tells you how the purpose of this thing can only be speculated Girl!!! you literally have one in your head that was just telling you things about the same place like just ask!!! it's not like theyre terribly busy!!!||

[celest wolf]

why is my pet brute shark so fussy

I found the last fragment, I just didnt explore koppa mining site enough

Whats the structural requirements of the seatruck dock and moonpool?

[ember burrow]

i know that i put a large room and put 8 reinforcements on it, and that was sufficient to have a moonpool, seatruck dock, and scanning room at about -600

...oh also there was a foundation, now that i think about it

it might even have been super overkill, i have no idea, i put the large room down first

[steel stream]

You can see the integrity value on left top corner of screen every time you build or remove something which affects integrity

[ember burrow]

yeah i know, i just didn't pay attention lol. i got in the habit when i was making megabases in the original game, just throw down a bunch of hallways or something where you can put infinite reinforcements, and do it before you start building the rest so you don't have to ever repair

also i can't remember if depth makes reinforcements/foundations less effective, or if it decreases the integrity of other stuff. like, which factor does it scale?

less integrity, or larger integrity requirements?

[steel stream]

Yes, depth has a multiplier value for negative integrity effects, but not positive, so deeper bases require more reinforcements/bulkheads/foundations than same base layout on shallower area

[quasi cloud]

bruuh wheeennn is subnautica threeeeeeeee

i'm so borrrrrreeedddd

[wise bone]

they are sharing plans of early access for the next sn game sometime this year

[quasi cloud]

😮

for switch?

[wise bone]

I highly doubt they'd have early access on switch, or really any console

[mellow geode]

no idea when subnautica 3 will even be considered. the next subnautica game however, what maddy said.

[naive cedar]

Technically, it will be subnautica 2 since below zero is a spin-off

[quasi cloud]

how is bz a spin off

bz is subnautica 2

[mellow geode]

no it isn't.

it's subnautica: below zero, not subnautica 2: below zero.

[quasi cloud]

wdym have i been lied to??!??! 😮

[quasi cloud]

but they don't need to put the 2 in

it goes subnautica then subnautica below zero?!

[mellow geode]

but it's not subnautica 2.

[quasi cloud]

but it's also by unkown worlds how is it a spinoff

right?

[naive cedar]

i guess yohr right but idk

[mellow geode]

it's a separate game set in the same universe, with callbacks to the original game. it is not a direct sequel to the events of the first game.

so, not part 2

if it makes it simpler to understand, think of sn as the first iron man movie, and bz as captain america movie. both are in the same universe, but captain america movie is not iron man 2.

[quasi cloud]

ok

[celest wolf]

I only used 3~ reinforcements

and that was enough for my whole base

[steel stream]

Note that John mentioned his base being around 600m deep.

[steel shoal]

My base needs a ton of reinforcements

[eternal garnet]

new day, new nick!

[steel shoal]

Right, this time they can't call me a man of culture

[eternal garnet]

woman of gaming

[steel shoal]

Someone really called 'she' a man of culture... How does this happen?

[eternal garnet]

ma'am of culture

[lime grove]

not reading

[pastel bough]

how am i supposed to go through the glacier areas when i die every 5 seconds because of the ||worm leviathan thing||

it kills me, and then the snowfox is just left there and i can never get it back

i swear i hate this game sometimes

[eternal garnet]

so the eastern route up, is mostly worm free

other than that, bring a lot of medkits and repair tool

[pastel bough]

im in the ||phi robotics lab area||

and then theres that bridge

[eternal garnet]

Snowfox isn't ideal here. So, walking or prawn

[pastel bough]

and then u enter the area

[pastel bough]

am i meant to use prawn in that area?

[eternal garnet]

right after the bridge, go up to the right, in a tunnel. Eastern route

meant to? no, but it works

So does walking

[pastel bough]

i also got my other prawn stuck on the top of the glacier area and i can never get it back lmao

its js a ruin

i ran out of battery in a really bad area

[pastel bough]

ok well i'll js use my prawn then

i dont rlly even like the snowfox to be honest

[eternal garnet]

to reduce time here, I have a map of the spires. it's spoilery for all locations here

[pastel bough]

what?

im js gonna take my prawn and get my snowfox back and leave

[eternal garnet]

This

[pastel bough]

ok...

thanks

[pastel bough]

i think so

[bold monolith]

You asked there.

And I answered then.

[steel shoal]

But is there collateral damage?

I'm afraid my Pengwings will die because a Snow Stalker walked nearby

[bold monolith]

I only see the damage on vehicles and the player.

[steel shoal]

Oh...

I'll experiment in creative

[slate valley]

where are screenshots saved? im on epic games

[eternal garnet]

In the save folder, I think:
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero\SubnauticaZero\SavedGames

[spice loom]

Big things with teeth = not friendly. Got it

[slate valley]

thanks since i wanted to post some screenshots here i made (Containt spoilers for biomes and leviathans)

[steel shoal]

Okay, this Pengling got hit by an entire Ice Worm attack, and walked it off. I suppose they don't get damaged.

[slate valley]

bruv just did not care at all or something idk

"tis but a scratch"

[left marsh]

“Pain is an illusion”

[spice loom]

Just me or does building seem to be a very big thing in bz?

[slate valley]

or hes just american and doesnt wanna pay healthcare bill 💀

[slate valley]

Idk i just built a moonpool and a large room so that i could make vehicle upgrades

[spice loom]

Everything is drastically cheaper in comparison to the first

[slate valley]

I havent played the first part but i must agree its cheap

[spice loom]

You know the Thingy bars?

(Can't remember the name of the metal now)

[slate valley]

titanium?

[spice loom]

Yeah, yeah. Titanium Bars

On the first game they costed double to make

[slate valley]

10 per bar?!!!

[left marsh]

Now it’s 5. Granted it’s not as easy to access early on tho.

[spice loom]

Anddd my game just crashed..

Sigh

Damn Architect Sanctuary

I just lost so much progress

Insert fury of curse words here

[cerulean musk]

i feel its alot easier, you get metal from EVERY outcrop

[spice loom]

I agree

Only hard thing to find so far has been silver honestly

[cerulean musk]

yeah but argentinite is plentyful at delta

[west mountain]

Penty of silver in thermal spires and in the arctic kelp caves (seamonkey caves). Later you will get drillable silver ore.

[left marsh]

The metal salvage is just much more quicker to collect early on in SN

[cerulean musk]

true

but you need power for that, all outcrops having it feels more early game accessable

[spice loom]

What on earth is this recipe for enameled glass?!?

[eternal garnet]

is different, is what

[sonic forge]

no stalker teeth so

[finite vale]

1x Glass
1x Lead
1x Diamond

[spice loom]

I meant it is expensive

[slate valley]

NAH MAN I was trying to get to the || fabrication facility || and i swear i forgot everything || to build allan a body|| im done

[rare nacelle]

worst type of pain

[slate valley]

I will now be heading back to my base and going offline for the day i lsot all my motivation

may need vergil to give me some

[rare nacelle]

oof, take your time

bonus points for dmc reference

[slate valley]

xd

[spice loom]

Used to be x1 stalker tooth and x1 glass

[steel stream]

But there is no stalker teeth available, so the fabricator has modified the recipe based on available components

[spice loom]

Very interesting to think about

Make do with what you have I suppose

[cerulean musk]

finally got "Rite of The Deep" on spotify

[spice loom]

Trying to figure out how I disable the Satellite

[finite vale]

Wait fr!?

[tacit comet]

wait how

i need to know

that's crazy

[cerulean musk]

you can allow spotify to pull from local files from your pc, so you download the song on like youtube or something, and you can play it

just open spotify ctrl + p and toggle

after that you can add it to any playlist

[finite vale]

Why did bro get muted? 💀

[steel shoal]

Someone hasn't learned...

[cerulean musk]

did he got muted again bcs gif?

[steel shoal]

So the song is still not on Spotify, sadness

[peak tapir]

Lol seatruck funni

[tacit comet]

lil guy 💖

[steel shoal]

Poor sharkie ;-;

[clever crow]

sharkie is now in a better world. of isekai

[tacit comet]

so sadge

[peak tapir]

I promise it was to scan him

hes just sleeping

[spice loom]

For a long time

Enlighten me on what in all that is holy is the massive squid jelly fish looking swine in front of me

[left marsh]

It is the almighty vent garden.

[spice loom]

I decided to go around the mountain and down, I am now inside a mining system ???

Mhm yes, stuck in a net :D

[steel shoal]

Cool, you found Koppa, marked in your map

[spice loom]

Lovely

Went all the way down, looks very nice indeed

[celest wolf]

does omega have the bulkhead? I'm trying to protect the rest of my base from the glass corridors, incase they break

[cerulean musk]

yep

[celest wolf]

alright

seatruck dock but still no vanilla cyclops dock : (

or cool looking prawn suit dock

[celest wolf]

are rockgrubs able to be bred in alien containment? could be useful for my bioreactor

[steel shoal]

Yes, but they are awful fuel

[celest wolf]

should I use my ||Ion cubes|| for 2 ||quantum|| lockers or save it

[steel shoal]

I think you only need 1 quantum

[celest wolf]

but then theres no point to having it

[steel shoal]

There is

[celest wolf]

the point of it is to share storage tho

[steel shoal]

You can build an extra one in need of emergency

Oh, you mean

Oh right, you can use it that way too

[celest wolf]

if theres only one then why use it instead of waterproof locker

wait quick question, could you just deploy the quantum locker and pick it back up

without there being another one

like mobile storage

[steel shoal]

If you're in imminent death, you can drop it with your valuable items, and then access them in your base

[celest wolf]

I'll only really need to do that with recently acquired items

[left marsh]

If you are in imminent death then you are probably gonna die before you can put anything inside…

[steel shoal]

I just realized the cured texture is broken on most fish. They look so silly

[steel shoal]

I think it's just opening the inventory and dropping it

[celest wolf]

Red transparent film on top of the fish and boom, its cured

[steel shoal]

SN fish still have the right texture

[steel shoal]

They did the same with the cooked texture

[left marsh]

? Does it pick up items automatically or smthn

[celest wolf]

idk how that got messed up lol, its literally just the same code with different creatures, vehicles, map, and story

[steel shoal]

No, but you probably put your things in it if you're afraid you might die

[steel shoal]

It's probably to save resources

They didn't develop actual new textures

[left marsh]

Ah ok imminnent and afraid of death are completely different

[celest wolf]

wdym? it makes sense if the cured texture is the same as in the original

[steel shoal]

They're reusing the old textures for the returning fish, while the new ones only have a transparent film on top

[celest wolf]

mk

I mean, peeper doesnt seem too different

[steel shoal]

If you're afraid, you put them in it. If it's imminent, you drop it.

[native tapir]

where do you find the ribbon plant?

ive been looking for it every where,to get its seed for a battery

[celest wolf]

twisty bridges is a good place to find ribbon plants

[native tapir]

how do I get there

[celest wolf]

200~ from spawn

[native tapir]

derection?

[celest wolf]

north

[native tapir]

Thanks bro

[celest wolf]

straight ahead from spawn point

[native tapir]

I needed it for scanner I think

Ohhhh

okay

[celest wolf]

you can also find them in the small caves

[native tapir]

okay thanks 😄

[celest wolf]

should I go deeper or higher when avoiding squidsharks?

[steel shoal]

Away from them

[celest wolf]

alright

I'm gonna go look for the next part of the mercury II

how often do squidsharks even attack? I've gone right above one in the deep twisty bridges and they just decided to chill in place

Can oxygen plants refill your air bladder?

[cerulean musk]

yep

no

i lied

[elder badger]

Is the script for the original story anywhere?

with the ending that's not in early access 8.1

[steel shoal]

The ending is not available, but you can still access the old story in a previous version

[elder badger]

moment

[stone orbit]

what if you

put a pengwing and an actual penguin in the same room

[long hazel]

I hate this area

[peak tapir]

pengwing kill

[celest wolf]

#subnautica-chat

[fervent bloom]

One, that could benefit from spoiler tags. Two, this is #below-zero-chat .

[long hazel]

oops

[celest wolf]

lmao I just went right next to a chelicerate leviathan and it just disregarded that I was there. I'm in a prawn suit, maybe it doesnt like the taste of compressed titanium and lithium ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[celest wolf]

unlocked afterburner and grappling arm in a cave full of friendly sea monkeys : D

[elder badger]

Do you think they'd ever make the script available or know anything about where they might have decided not to at some point?

[chrome cedar]

Obviously they changed gears, and I’d assume there is zero chance of them going back to finish something they changed their mind about.

[elder badger]

I mean the script

I don't know why they wouldn't have it written when they were just waiting for 1.0 before they added it to the game

[fringe spade]

im just starting below zero after beating the original game and one thing i notice right away is the level of guidance

it feels like ur being told exactly what to do

[sonic forge]

that seems to be a common complaint in reviews yes

it holds your hand way more with everything from oxygen/heat sources everywhere to signal markers to characters saying what you did/have to do out loud

[fringe spade]

exactly

but tbh it isnt even that bad

[sonic forge]

yeah id agree it's not too bad

i mean even with all the pointers and my previous knowledge i died several times and also had a great time playing despite everything

[celest wolf]

why is there an eyeless jelly in a spires biome (The one where delta island is)

Do brutesharks become friendly when you hatch and release them?

[steel stream]

Could that be juvenile ventgraden?

[steel stream]

Everything you hatch from eggs and release, is passive towards player, but not necessarily towards your vehicles

[celest wolf]

its not a hollow jellyfish

bout the size of the ones with the eyes

but without an eye

[fringe spade]

bru how tf do i get silver

i cant find nun

[celest wolf]

outcrops

[fringe spade]

ye but like which ones

[celest wolf]

just experiment, outcrops are really common in the twisty bridges

I believe its argentite outcrops that have silver but I dont really pay attention to the name

[fringe spade]

oh ok

[celest wolf]

be wary of brute sharks

[fringe spade]

oh...

[celest wolf]

and if you go into deep twisty bridges you'll run into a squid shark

but its a good early game source of diamonds

[finite vale]

You can find silver in the Twisty Bridges pretty easily, can't remember which outcrop. If you scan outcrops however, it tells you what you have a chance of getting from them, so I'd do that whenever you see one.

[naive cedar]

It is argenite outcrops that give silver, but i believe sandstone outcrops can aswell

as mentioned by other people, both are relatively common in the twisty bridges

[finite vale]

@naive cedar If we want to continue our discussion we need to continue it here.

[naive cedar]

yes

[finite vale]

So what are your thoughts on the original creatures in BZ?

When I say original I mean like,,, Brute Sharks, Spinners, ect.

[naive cedar]

Overall, they were great but some just left me wishing for more, like the brute shark because i think more could have been done with the design

and the leviathans felt dry

the shadow leviathan is pretty much a glorified centipede with a battering ram for a head

Also, my cat is in the bathtub playing with the curtains

[finite vale]

I really like the designs but I also wish they incorperated more of the OG Subnautica creatures in it. I know that they wanted more original creatures but the arctic counterparts of certain creatures were way cooler than what we got imo.

I get hate for this but
Crested Reaper >> Dumb Chelicerate

[naive cedar]

Arctic reefback < Ventgarden

[finite vale]

omg if Alex Ries was in this server I would kiss his boot omg.

[naive cedar]

who?

[finite vale]

Alex Ries, he made a lot of the concept art for Below Zero.

He's super talented.

[naive cedar]

Ok, then i would too lol

also, i did know the crested reaper concept

just cuz I'm a sucker for concept art

[finite vale]

Eeehhhh nah not IMO. I mean if the Vent Garden appeared more, I'd totally agree, but myeh.

[naive cedar]

my cat is still playing in the bathtub

[finite vale]

Something I really want to see is a HUGE area for Subnautica 2, but we get to see a lot more of the originality and detail that Below Zero had.

I also want a Silent Protag game. I like SIlent Protag games more, yk, so we can project ourselves.

[naive cedar]

did you sign the petition for my cat to be in subnautica 2?

also, yeah, below zero has the more alien feel i think, but combining that with the alien parts of subnautica would be really cool

also, my cat would be really cool!

[finite vale]

Send me it!!:D

We need that cat in Subnautica 2

Make the cat the main character.

[naive cedar]

yes.

he jump up on your shoulder and meows at good resources

like a pokemon

he is just a cute bean

[finite vale]

You know what I really want most of all secretly.

[naive cedar]

what

[finite vale]

They need to make this the main theme for the Subnautica franchise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaqF8EG0noE

The Below Zero trailer song did NOT need to go this hard!

[naive cedar]

mash it up with subnautic stimulus and abandon ship

did you die?

[finite vale]

Sorry, I'm doing something else rn.

[naive cedar]

oh ok

i just finished listening to all 3

[finite vale]

Im gonna try out Below Zero in a bit, give it another chance I guess. I've been pretty hard on it.

[naive cedar]

lol

[finite vale]

Ngl what you said was probably why I disliked BZ, it was just too different than Subnautica for me.

[steel shoal]

You compared Ventgardens and Reefbacks in #subnautica-switch. I wouldn't say that's very fair - one of them is present in half the biomes, the other only appears 4 times, in their own signature biome

[steel shoal]

Yes. This time, it's not survival, it's mystery solving and such. More reading, less going deep. You get plants quite early, so survival is almost always guaranteed.

[finite vale]

I think what I would've liked more is that the story could've progressed like Subnautica's did. You start off slow, shallow. You're in more safe areas before eventually the progression and the game leads you to go more deep. In Below Zero, it's very similar, but the biomes and creatures aren't as threatening.

The only time I felt scared in Below Zero was going down to ||rebuild AL-AN's body||

[steel shoal]

Yea, it lost the fear factor, but in turn was able to make really beautiful areas/creatures

[finite vale]

I totally agree! I really wish we could have gotten a mix of the two, however.

Below Zero has a lot going for it in the creature and biome area, the fauna and flora are all super cool (except for the stinky Chelicerate) and really fun to explore, but like you said, a lot of the fear factor was lost.

Going down to the ||Fabricator Caverns...? Is that what the area's called? I completely forgot LMFAO|| was way less scary than going into the ||Lost River||. My fear mainly came from the Shadow Leviathan.

[violet aspen]

Below zero worth the purchase?

[steel shoal]

Yes, it is

But don't expect it to be a Subnautica 2

[finite vale]

I rag on it a lot but... tbh, definetly worth checking out!

[violet aspen]

ah so like a dlc?

[steel shoal]

No

Like a Captain America movie in the Avengers franchise

[finite vale]

It isn't a DLC.

[violet aspen]

Yeah ik

[steel shoal]

It's an adjacent story, and takes a different approach to gameplay and storytelling

[violet aspen]

wb the horror aspect

[steel shoal]

Requires a lot more PDA reading and mystery solving

[finite vale]

Definetly not as good as Subnautica's.

[steel shoal]

It's gorgeous, beautiful, absolutely stunning not scary.

[violet aspen]

aw

[finite vale]

Like... by a long shot.

[finite vale]

☝️!

It's not as scary but it's got a really lovely environment.

[steel shoal]

The map is better detailed and less sparse

The creatures are more unique (no more dozens of eels)

[finite vale]

The map and creatures are the best part of the game imo.

[violet aspen]

oo kinda like that

[steel shoal]

Base building is enhanced by a lot

[finite vale]

I said before I think but I really want Subnautica 2 to give us more squid/octopus like creatures.

[finite vale]

Trust me if you want a great environment to explore, definetly play Below Zero.

[violet aspen]

or just creatures with unique abilities

[finite vale]

All the biomes are unique in their own way.

[steel shoal]

But remember that it is not a survival-first game like SN

It's mostly a story game with survival aspects

[gilded robin]

#subnautica-chat message if this is the case

Then who's|| Marguerit|| in below zero

@steel shoal

[finite vale]

Uh

She's uh

She's just the delivery woman dwdw she's not the same as the woman from Subnautica.

[steel stream]

Because in #subnautica-chat we don't spoil below zero content, so in that chat Marquerit is presumably dead

[steel shoal]

It's a plot-twist

Her being alive is something a player would not expect

[fathom oar]

hey handsome

[finite vale]

Uh oh, Morty! SPOILERS! /ref

[fathom oar]

bro are u an AI

[finite vale]

Im gonna say that every time there's no spoiler tags istg 💀

[fathom oar]

why u talk like that rahh

[finite vale]

Why would you say I'm an AI 💀 also please spoiler your messages that have BZ spoilersi n them

[fathom oar]

wheres the spoiler

[finite vale]

||this||

[fathom oar]

no like where did i put a spoiler

😎

[finite vale]

You needed to put a spoiler when you ||discussed AL-AN||

[fathom oar]

WHERE

[finite vale]

...

[fathom oar]

I DONT RECALL

[finite vale]

you

I... 💀

[fathom oar]

😎

[finite vale]

anyways wh why did you assume I was an AI 💀

[fathom oar]

wtf is /ref

[deep kettle]

This is surely a conversation lol.

[steel shoal]

Anyways, Pengwings are immune to Ice Worm damage!!

[finite vale]

/reference. I was referencing something.

[steel shoal]

And they do not trigger Worm attacks

[fathom oar]

can u use them in the bio reactor? just askin

[steel shoal]

Why?

[finite vale]

Man I need to educate people on tone tags (SO SIT BACK AND TAKE NOTES! /lyr)

[steel shoal]

They're awful fuel, but they're organic

[fathom oar]

[steel shoal]

It's not a funny joke

[finite vale]

They aren't that good of fuel.

[fathom oar]

how do u know

[finite vale]

...

[fathom oar]

u criminal

[finite vale]

I've commited things I regret in my past...

[deep kettle]

[finite vale]

[fathom oar]

[rare nacelle]

what the hell

[finite vale]

Dahahawg this is a family friendly server

[naive cedar]

I'm not going to answer but its obvious

[finite vale]

. . .

[naive cedar]

it wont let me

hehe lo

l

[finite vale]

I am really
really really uncomfy with this convo... /hj

[naive cedar]

Anyway, the theory for how || Marguerit Maida || Survived is that when she was in the jellyshroom caves and was dragged away by a reaper, she killed it and ate it from the inside as it floated to a safe area, eating it gave her the immunity that reapers have to the khaara.

auctually i should have spoilered all of that

oops

[finite vale]

Reapers are not immune.

[naive cedar]

they are

have you ever seen a reaper with the khaara?

[finite vale]

S p o i l e r s .

[finite vale]

They originally did, they just never added the variant in.

Dahahawg don't bypass th swear filter 💀

[naive cedar]

exactly!

uhh

[finite vale]

I mean... that doesn't mean they still cant get infected.

[naive cedar]

Lol

yes it does, they were planned to get it, but they dont, therefore, immune

[finite vale]

That doesn't exactly mean they're immune.

Also we ought to move this to #subnautica-chat

[naive cedar]

yeh

[pastel bough]

how do i disable the other opening

i dont want two openings right next to each other

[clever crow]

maybe deconstruct the empty room, in the other room build a window/enforcement/green wall/water station in the opening you don't want, then build the 2nd large room again

[naive cedar]

their room isnt empty though

i see lockers

and thats a pain

[clever crow]

i was hoping the room they are standing in has little to nothing in it

[pastel bough]

I'll do that, thanks

[naive cedar]

oh, well if the room that you are in is empty then do that

[hot monolith]

Will the Game get a Steam Deck Verify and I have a GTX 3060 and i7 3800x and 32 GB RAM is it enough for the game?

[wise bone]

more than enough

[rich crown]

What should I take with me to koppa mines?

[west mountain]

Lasercutter and empty inventory. Prawn if you have.

[rich crown]

And if i just started?

[west mountain]

Then you go as you are, scanner of course. And big O2 tank, two of those if you want, seaglide. Park the seatruck in front of the door and go in.

[rich crown]

Ok thanks

[rich crown]

Can i go with seatruck in?

[west mountain]

Not through the door. Some people say you can by wiggling yourself in. There are two hidden side entrances for seatruck.

[slate valley]

I just beat Below Zero for the first time and amazing game i must say

[west mountain]

Excellent, did you ||cure the frozen leviathan||?

[slate valley]

the what

[rich crown]

Do you know where are they?

[west mountain]

The ||fronzen leviathan in phi excavation site||?

[west mountain]

Yes

[slate valley]

oh yeah

[rich crown]

Can you tell me where?

[west mountain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlpYcP762_o

[rich crown]

Thank you

[west mountain]

But you should do it the normal way first, otherwise no fun. There is not need for the seatruck in the beginning and once you have the prawn, that is going in quite easily.

[rich crown]

Ok

[fathom oar]

hi chat

[celest wolf]

does releasing a rock puncher after hatching make it friendly?

[finite vale]

I believe so, yeah.

[finite vale]

👋ellooo

[steel shoal]

Yes, but it won't dig up rocks

[celest wolf]

and do sea monkeys stay near where you dropped them like a cuddlefish, so you can just have a pet sea monkey?

[naive cedar]

Will anyone talk about how we can grab a random uranite rock and just refine it into a reactor rod just like that?

[steel shoal]

We talked about it before. The fabricator rearranges everything from the atom level. Which makes little sense sometimes but yea. Most of the times, it'd just explode.

[naive cedar]

if its re arranging it then how does it refine it unless it is re arranging the subatomic particles aswell

because uranium 235 is the fissionable isotope used in nuclear reactors, it has an extra neutron relative to uranium 234 (depleted uranium) so unless it can add a neutron by some process then it doesnt work

and neutrons split atoms so it would just make the uranium undergo fission while printing

[celest wolf]

Why doesnt uranium cause radiation damage? Because its a game

it wouldnt be very fun if you could only craft depleted reactor rods

[naive cedar]

Yeah buttt

im a nerd so

[celest wolf]

do you need to repair seatruck modules individually or do they all repair at the same time?

[eternal garnet]

individually

[celest wolf]

oh

Honestly the seatruck dock is pretty cool when you get modules for it

so you can just chill in your seatruck without being in constant danger of a brute shark pushing it below crush depth

[karmic sky]

who can tell me whats wrong in this picture :))

[eternal garnet]

you don't really fit in this small cave

[karmic sky]

101*C water not boiling

[eternal garnet]

oh that. Well, water under pressure can go over 100C

[celest wolf]

why does lilypads have so many aquarium module fragments

but not enough of the other ones to even unlock them

[karmic sky]

36m below surface? i dont think so XD

[celest wolf]

are you in a thermal vent or smth?

[karmic sky]

some place at glacial basin

[stone orbit]

why can i pick them up if i cant eat them

[eternal garnet]

Do you eat lead also?

[stone orbit]

lead is useful

or maybe i can feed rockgrubs to rock punchers

and make friends

[karmic sky]

16m and 102

new record XD

[celest wolf]

rockgrubs are a pretty good bioreactor fuel if you collect them in bulk

[stone orbit]

can yall get off of the fragment so i can scan it

[karmic sky]

these are not so dangerous

[stone orbit]

he just punched me after i scanned the fragment

[celest wolf]

come back in a prawn suit and punch the lobster back

[karmic sky]

maybe you got too close]

XDD

[stone orbit]

i was at a fair distance and he jumped and punched me

[celest wolf]

come back in a prawn suit and get revenge

and steal their eggs

[stone orbit]

rock puncher❌

mike tyson crab✅

[celest wolf]

I thought its a lobster

[naive cedar]

it is

[stone orbit]

bro hes literally guarding itttt

[cerulean musk]

hes trying to see if it fits

[eternal garnet]

they aren't that ferocious. just dodge

[celest wolf]

I hatched a glow whale : D

now I can have a pet leviathan : )

[naive cedar]

i did that once

I released him and he was tiny lol

Actually he just grew

when i released him

[stone orbit]

im trapped

[naive cedar]

how did you get in then?

[stone orbit]

i squeezed my way in

[eternal garnet]

no... go in the top of the door, wiggle out sideways. Save first

[cerulean musk]

go side ways

[naive cedar]

squeeze out then

[eternal garnet]

Also, ther'es a hole in the main ceiling...

[stone orbit]

made it out

with diamonds and rubies and lobster eggs

[celest wolf]

I'm going back to koppa as soon as I get a drill arm for my prawn

[karmic sky]

gj

[stone orbit]

i also got some native fish so my rock puncher feels at home

grubs, red feather fish, triops

[celest wolf]

I released my rockpuncher on top of my base and it jumped into the twisty bridges

I think it wanted to fight my 2 pet brutesharks

I probably should've made a second alien containment, one for food and the other for pets

Can you get across the bridge with the prawn suit jetpack?

[eternal garnet]

no

[cerulean musk]

you can build a base up by the side to skip the hydralic fluid

[karmic sky]

yes u can

i did like 2 times already, even without the upgrade

Also - how mouch would you guys build solar panels to keep running only on them? like no other power source - only sonar panels

bc i think i did quite enough for me
Spoiler for the photo: ||it took like 4h but worth it; gives 4575 energy||

[eternal garnet]

not really a spoiler that, but fine

[cerulean musk]

i just sleep

sleeper module or a bed

[karmic sky]

thats not bad actually

good idea, not using any energy while charging

[celest wolf]

is it possible to store your seatruck modules somewhere?

or do you need to attach the modules and then put them in the dock

[eternal garnet]

you just leave them floating outside

[celest wolf]

oh ok

[eternal garnet]

If you are using them, they go in the dock

[celest wolf]

so whats the essential modules for travelling over long distances?

[eternal garnet]

fab, storage

[celest wolf]

alr

I'll also do the prawn suit dock so I can actually fight back if a leviathan or somethin comes

[eternal garnet]

yesbecause this is a fighting game

sarcasm detected?

[celest wolf]

its not like I can run away

[eternal garnet]

ah, perimeter defense. Learn to use

[celest wolf]

I constantly forget to use it lmao

I also forgot I have the afterburner upgrade

[karmic sky]

am i dead? Hardcore, outside of viechicle, hit but not registered by the game. Inner caves biome

ok im not

[eternal garnet]

probably not. But I hope you have a medkit

I think it does 70 or 75 damage. Really close

[karmic sky]

ofc i dont :))
it ate my prawn suit. I saw it in the distance like 200m and moved it a litte far from my suit to scan those red walls, and it suppirsed me

[karmic sky]

75 yea. Good that i have this mechanic from minecraft to be always full and preparied

[fervent bloom]

It's 80 damage, I believe.

[eternal garnet]

was the prawn empty at the time?

[karmic sky]

yea

[karmic sky]

75. just checked the wiki

[eternal garnet]

health looks about 77. So 80 is bad news

[eternal garnet]

it did 60 or so then

[karmic sky]

75 i just healed a bit

[fervent bloom]

Ah, you're right. I think I got confused with a different leviathan.

[naive cedar]

shadow leviathan? I never thought they were dangerous in my playthrough

[eternal garnet]

I would never recommend hardcore btw. Excellent way to waste your time lol

[karmic sky]

i can just pause, copy the files and be like the old one XD

i just have to copy them rn...

[naive cedar]

then again, i developed the strategy of a v o i d a n c e

best strategy

[eternal garnet]

heh. Not cheating hardcore, no no

[eternal garnet]

oh, for it to save, you actually have to quit

it does not save before that

[karmic sky]

with sea truck i just zap them as soon as they want to start the attack animation

[karmic sky]

so imma do it rn...

[naive cedar]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

on steam, save is in the game folder, SNappdata. To be able to EDIT there, you should be in the main menu ingame

if not, steam will just undo it

[naive cedar]

you could reload a save if you are not attempting that already

[eternal garnet]

~~no reload, ~~no save in hardcore

[karmic sky]

hello there :)) (he is swiming towards me)

i got jumpscared by another one behind me

[celest wolf]

why are the squidsharks in deep twisty bridges just chill?

not attackin me at all

same aggression as a damn cryptosuchus

1 punch in a prawn suit is enough for them to run away

constantly getting stuck

[karmic sky]

reload?

[celest wolf]

the squidshark is getting stuck..

did you read anything else I said

[bold crown]

so what is the point of playing hardcore if you are just gonna cheat the system anyways?

[karmic sky]

i mean i just do it in case

like meatie mentioned - its a waste of time, so why not to make it not a waste of time

but if i dont managed to do it on time - i die

[bold crown]

kinda defeats the whole purpose don't you think?

i mean you do whatever

[karmic sky]

nah. I almost died throught a bug where i left the seatruck and it registered im on land (im in the water btw, just a bug). I just quickly saved a game, and copied the files. If i didnt do it i would be gone

and it happened 20 sec ago so yk

[steel shoal]

Thom if he played Below Zero...

[eternal garnet]

You can convert your game type in options, Game options. This makes it a custom game

[steel shoal]

Custom game is the real hardcore

I think Hard-core should be renamed to Ephemeral Mode, as it's not any harder.

[karmic sky]

i want advancements tho

[eternal garnet]

Hardcore is not the way for a first playthru

[spice loom]

Well.. This might be an issue...

Think he is friendly?

[eternal garnet]

You did not repair. You suffer consequences.
You can repair immediately, because attacks have a cooldown

Iiterally get out immediately, don't drive off first

[spice loom]

Hehe, jokes on you. I drove off immediately and got back to my twisty bridges base

[torn chasm]

should i get below zero

[spice loom]

Did you play the first game?

[torn chasm]

yes

[spice loom]

Then yes.

[eternal garnet]

yes, but we might be biased, because we are here

[spice loom]

Shhhh

[torn chasm]

will it give me the dopamine of the first game

[eternal garnet]

Really, this is my favorite game. But replayability isn't great

[torn chasm]

subnautica's replayability isnt rivaled for me

[spice loom]

Mm, some parts yes

[cerulean musk]

and try to go slow, dont immediately go to where the game wants you, explore

[stone orbit]

technically they also get food out of this

[torn chasm]

but i saw the seatruck and i really loved the seamoth originally

[spice loom]

The Seatruck is awesome

[torn chasm]

im indifferent about it

[eternal garnet]

it is. It can grow long

[torn chasm]

i hope it can fit the prawn

[spice loom]

Just like a-

[eternal garnet]

it docks really nicely

[stone orbit]

come on do something

[spice loom]

:)))

[spice loom]

Takes 1-3 days

[eternal garnet]

it can, once you find the module

[spice loom]

At least in the previous it did

[torn chasm]

is it just an adjustable cyclops??

[stone orbit]

so i just need to sleep for a bit

[spice loom]

Thats called time wasting

[eternal garnet]

no its nimble like the seamoth

[spice loom]

Go outside and explore for a while

[steel shoal]

More like a long Seamoth

[torn chasm]

andylandy whatever your name changes everytime i meet you

[steel shoal]

I'm afraid it will change again 😔

[eternal garnet]

I am afraid too

[torn chasm]

what? is it gonna be man now

[stone orbit]

if the ||cubes|| now have a power meter thing, does that mean any ||architect device|| i activate have a time limit until the ||cube|| goes to waste

[torn chasm]

you gonna change your name to "subnautica is a fish game"??

[eternal garnet]

no. it's more like a battery, but only for one usage

[torn chasm]

and i agree, subnautica is just a game about fishing

[spice loom]

Big fishing

[eternal garnet]

devs do call it "fish game"

[stone orbit]

i should have never slept on quartz💀 time to go hunt

[steel shoal]

The name was to make people stop misgendering me, until I was called "she, a man of culture"

[stone orbit]

this is my neighbor thomas, hes lived with me ever since i started my base, he's a very kind fellow and likes to give me rocks

[steel shoal]

How generous

[eternal garnet]

Hello Thomas

[steel shoal]

Does he give lead?

No? I'm afraid his generosity is of no use.

[stone orbit]

he gives titanium and silver

thomas is a very nice neighbor of mine

[torn chasm]

just name yourself the name of your pet ai you keep

[steel shoal]

Sure thing

[spice loom]

You are very efficient lol

[torn chasm]

if the answer to this one question is yes, i'll get below zero

is there a sparse reef-like biome

[stone orbit]

thomas just punched me

i feel betrayed

[west mountain]

If you mean the ||teather tool of the teleportation module, yes, that one consumes 1/3 of an ion cube for each use, so after three uses the cube is gone. Thats why the tool is of so little use. You can avoid that by deconstruction the teather tool before and craft an ion battery, that restores the cube||. Any other ion cube device does not consume the cube or it can be simply recharged. Headlamp has infinit power and batteries and cells have 5x the power and can be recharged. Also the recyclotron does not consume the ion cube at all.

[stone orbit]

what is this place called

[eternal garnet]

twisty bridge canyon

no, wait that's deep twisty bridges

canyon is the place above it

[stone orbit]

lmaoooo hes like an actual sized lobster

[eternal garnet]

he is inspired by the mantis shrimp. Research this tiny badass creature, is really cool

[naive cedar]

makes me want to pick up below zero again just to make another base and have a rock puncher pet

also we should be able to build in vent gardens

fight me

[stone orbit]

rock punchers are my favorite fauna

[stone orbit]

if you want your neighbor to be the giant carnivorous shrimp leviathan then sure

[naive cedar]

its a squid

octopus aactually o think

[stone orbit]

chelicerate?

[naive cedar]

no, vent gardens

i already have a base in the purple spires

The vent gardens are the massive octopus creature that live over thermal spires to absorb the nutrients, they have spiral plants in them and you can go inside them through their mouth

[stone orbit]

BRO

i didnt even realize i was in chelicerate territory and i stepped out of my truck to grab ruby💀

[naive cedar]

Everyone over reacts to leviathans

[steel shoal]

I love leviathans, they're pretty

But they're dangerous, I understand the fear

[naive cedar]

Chelicerates are harmless, reapers are predictable, ghosts are avoidable, shadows are cute

[steel shoal]

Chelicerates are not harmless.

75 damage is no joke, I'd be careful when near them

[naive cedar]

i build bases around leviathans because the danger gives me adrenaline and acomplishment. I have conquered the depths

[stone orbit]

and intimidating

HELL NO

[naive cedar]

Chloe, i didnt die once to a leviathan in bz

he is just a red shrimp

[stone orbit]

ive only ever died to drowning

and burning

[cerulean musk]

after you get perimiter defence youre basically god in bz

[naive cedar]

if you have perimeter defense its easy

yeah

[stone orbit]

how do i activate that again

i unintentionally do it at random

[naive cedar]

even without, i just swerve to avoid the leviathans and just run

[eternal garnet]

are you using a keyboard?

[stone orbit]

yes

[cerulean musk]

press the button you have it assinged 1-4 and press lmb

[eternal garnet]

press the number key for the slot, then click

[steel shoal]

Me neither, but that doesn't change the fact that you do need to be careful.

[eternal garnet]

A short fire will cancel an attack. You can also hold and charge

to damage creatures

[steel shoal]

Noooo

I wish PDS didn't deal damage

[eternal garnet]

ya it wasn't really necessary to have

[steel shoal]

I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill the leviathan near my base :c

[naive cedar]

check memes and media everyone

yeah same

and i dont want to kill my chelicerate or my shadow leviathan in either of my bases

[stone orbit]

imagine if we could tag creatures raised in containment so we can identify them in the wild

[steel shoal]

World would be at peace

[naive cedar]

yeah

one silicone and one beacon to make a tracking device

[stone orbit]

i just created a prawn suit out of a 0/100 power cell

wait that actually had consequences

lmao thats clever

no loopholes

[mossy pine]

Are ||swim charge fins|| worth it?

[naive cedar]

probably

[gusty verge]

struggling to find materials for the habitat tool

[chrome cedar]

They’re a nice to have, saves recharging batteries as much.

[slate valley]

yeah they arent even expensive is the nice thing
