[keen schooner]

What do you even be doing to get that much time out of this game

[cerulean musk]

i think it was confirmed actually

[weary lance]

Can you DM me and help me figure out why my Mods dont want to work. Id truly appreciate it.

[steel shoal]

The modding community might be able to help you 👁️

[steel shoal]

Not confirmed. It was said it's what they call internally.

[bold monolith]

Obraxis said that would be the title.

[weary lance]

I have played this game over and over and over. The best part for me is the begining struggle. SN and BZ are my favorite chill games.

[steel shoal]

:0

I wasn't here when that happened

[cerulean musk]

in the anth interveiw is when se said it

[steel shoal]

oh i wont watch that

[tender wedge]

can I measure tempature somehow without being in the seatruck?

[rugged meadow]

I'm all for it. it's more safer but also more boring after you take out all the levithans

[tender wedge]

like this isnt generate stuff while being on top of the thermal went?xd

or i need multiple of these?

or 34 celsius is just low?

[safe sun]

Does that supercede Anthony saying it was still a placeholder when he was doing that Q&A in #subnautica-chat? Edit: Yes, yes it does

[steel shoal]

It's really low

It's like, slightly above the minimum requirement

[keen schooner]

Oh nice, personally don't find early progress difficult. Feels like I'm speedrunning it's so well known in my mind

[tender wedge]

okay, so then what should I use if not this?

also are there no healthpacks in this version, or I just didnt find the creating thingy for them?

[steel shoal]

You can craft them on your fabricator, and find them in supply crates. There's no fabricator.

[steel shoal]

Use solar, it's more efficient where you are

[tender wedge]

i got nuclear stuff aswell

[steel shoal]

If you have nuclear, why are you setting up thermal

[safe sun]

plays below zero
sets up thermal even though temperatures are cold almost everywhere

[stone zenith]

Agreed

[rugged meadow]

Oh wrong server. can't post gifs everywhere

[icy lily]

What power source do I use

I'm in the middle of twisty bridges and shallow twisty bridges

[rare nacelle]

solar

then nuclear

[tender wedge]

idk how nuclear works

[steel shoal]

You build it, you place rods in it, infinite energy for the rest of your playthrough

You can put lots of furniture at the same time, it's really good

You can find tons of rods in Mercury II

[tender wedge]

currently i am trying to figure out where to find the room where i can put my seatruck in, as it seems i cant de-attach modules, or they get destroyed

seatruck dock

[steel shoal]

You can detach modules

Either push the lever, or grab them from above

[tender wedge]

their durability goes down

[steel shoal]

Repair them

[tender wedge]

yes but if i were to ignore them, they would vanish eventually

[steel shoal]

They don't get damaged over time

They might break if they hit terrain when detaching, but you can just be careful

[tender wedge]

where can I find a moonpool?

[steel stream]

Attach the modules to the cabin using the yellow handle, dont reverse the cabin into modules

[tender wedge]

oh. that was it then 😄

[steel stream]

Two locations: ||koppa mining site (below delta island) or maida's base (dive to caves from pilot's last known location marker)||

[steel stream]

Driving seatruck cabin onto modules damages them easily. It's safer the other way around

[viral knot]

:D

[zealous pawn]

Thermal is plenty and you'll never have to refill it

[steel shoal]

Under normal circumstances, you never have to refill Nuclear either

[tender wedge]

why do you have two?

[viral knot]

normal one with fabricator, storage, sleeper, teleportation and prawn docking module

and cargo bus with 3x storage module + sleeper

i have koppa outpost and cargo bus will be mainly used to transport large number of resources to my other base

[shadow sigil]

let me kidnap one of them please game :sob;

[steel stream]

I've heard with propulsion cannon you can (at least the prawn version)

But may need to build a cage for them to not escape from your base

[shadow sigil]

so i can have them as a pet

whoopsies

[steel shoal]

Noo

How are you going to get the fur now?

[left marsh]

You can still get it when they’re dead

*with the robot.

[steel shoal]

Shhhh

[rare nacelle]

When i was playing for the first time i thought you have to kill them for fur

[left marsh]

Same, it was unfortunate

I was curious as to why it was the only animal you had to kill to get a resource from

Then i realised you didn’t need to kill them.

[rare nacelle]

Guess we didnt learn from sb1 and stalkers

[left marsh]

I mean yeah. Should’ve made the link

Literally a snow stalker

[steel shoal]

I saw the spy meter on the Pengling and tried to get close to the Stalkers with it. I was surprised when I saw the collect fur thingy

[left marsh]

I was just running around and got jumped by one..

[tawdry frost]

I'm about to craft my very first ||Seatruck||

[tawdry frost]

Spoilers??

[left marsh]

Congrats!

Hope you’re enjoying the game so far.

[tawdry frost]

Oh I am, I think it's better than 1

[tawdry frost]

What's ||maidas base|| I tried going to the pilots last know position but couldn't find anything there.

Is that the || island with the tower ||

[steel stream]

You dive into a cave system from the beacon marker

[tawdry frost]

What's yhe one base

I wanna try my luck there

[zealous pawn]

Oh my god. ||Robin dabs||

[shadow sigil]

i took the fur from their nest

[shadow sigil]

you learn that prtty quick when u go to marguerete and u will know in the first 24 hours so i dont think so 🙅‍♀️

why do te emojis look so weird

also if u find diving in 2 deep cd use it, its really good

[tawdry frost]

Yeah so you see, I have no idea who Marguerete is

[shadow sigil]

and u learn who marguerete is in 24 hours and much less

[tawdry frost]

Prawn suit lady?

[shadow sigil]

yes?

[tawdry frost]

I'm 2 hours in

[shadow sigil]

yes the prawn suit lady

u should have gone to pilot signal already

[tawdry frost]

I tried, I don't got a good air tank tho

[shadow sigil]

and seen the guy

[shadow sigil]

you dont need 1?

just grab a seatruck

[tawdry frost]

How, everytime I go there I always lose air

And the sea truck can't go all the way down there

Only 150

[shadow sigil]

upgrade it doesent cost much

silly boy

[tawdry frost]

How do I get diamond then

Cause you need diamond for the fabrication thing

[zealous pawn]

There are oxygen plants along the way, you can make it pretty easily

[tawdry frost]

Okay so my only problem now is where is yhe exact cave

[eternal garnet]

got the beacon "distress origin"?

[tawdry frost]

No

[eternal garnet]

k. do you got something... alien in your head

[tawdry frost]

Uhh no

[eternal garnet]

I am trying to direct to deeper twisty bridges. The canyon, just south of the pod. North = volcano and the small moon. But get a compass, it's cheap

[tawdry frost]

I have one

[eternal garnet]

if you go deeper than 300m, you find diamonds, and more things you need
specifically ||two truck modules, lithium||
You can swim, plenty o2 plants, just don't miss them

need: rebreather, large o2

High capacity O2 I mean

[cobalt hound]

i remember going 700+ meters deep without a seatruck somehow

drowned, but saw cool things

[weary lance]

sigh, where to build this time. sigh.

[woeful storm]

everywhere

[cobalt hound]

twisty bridges

on top of a lilypad

the void

[zealous pawn]

Hm I think I've done almost everything now except unlock the ||Sea Truck teleporter thing||

[weary lance]

I've done twisty. Not the void. Don't like the neighbors. Lol. Lily pads are too small. Lol

[shadow sigil]

how do i add moduals to my snowfox?

[eternal garnet]

theres a door on the side. Just 1 module

[shadow sigil]

oh

[eternal garnet]

Bit sad, as there are 2 modules you can get

[shadow sigil]

aight lets attempt this

WHY IS THAT

SO BIG

[eternal garnet]

oh. Wormy

The fox is best in the non-wormy areas, unless you have the module

[shadow sigil]

yes i have the module for jump

also where is the alein thing?

in the teleporet area?

[eternal garnet]

body part? no

[shadow sigil]

where in the ice spires is it then

[eternal garnet]

up north. Follow the cables, they point to it or even lead there in the end

[drifting finch]

You can add me as a friend and I can help you if I'm available.

[shadow sigil]

sent

[cobalt hound]

would be cool if you could put speakers outside

so you can hear music when ur building ur base lol

im planning to expand my base onto the deep twisty bridges

[candid minnow]

hey, how big is the radius for the trivalve when you tell it to stay?? it doesnt just sit in that exact spot it sort of patrols an area but how big is it

[fervent bloom]

It's not large, but I don't know the exact dimensions.

[tawdry frost]

I'm ice spice

[eternal garnet]

same, I would guess under 50m, more than 10

[cobalt hound]

can the trivalves be eaten by hostile fauna

[eternal garnet]

Not sure, but I think not

Did you know it goes on land?

[fervent bloom]

I don't believe so, but I haven't proved or disproved that. Regardless, you need to be careful of lava geysers, and likely squidsharks and eye jellies.

[eternal garnet]

And truck collision

[cobalt hound]

erm.. my base is quite near the deep twisty bridges

[eternal garnet]

They do have leviathan class HP

[cobalt hound]

its like 70 meters above it

[eternal garnet]

OH! I just remember a big issue: if they are following your truck (they do), do NOT perimeter defense!

[fervent bloom]

Will that injure them especially?

[eternal garnet]

it will

after a few many times, it's gone

[steel shoal]

A weird choice for sure, do they only have a healthbar because of instagib? Either way, Cuddlefish already died often enough, due to temperature/poison, how much more HP do Trivalves have?

[eternal garnet]

I expect same, Did not research

[tawdry frost]

Cuddlefish are in BZ?

[eternal garnet]

no, but trivalve, really similar

cutest one-eyed creature you ever didn't see

[fervent bloom]

It has three, actually.

[eternal garnet]

it's difficult to be cute with the wrong number of eyes

[cobalt hound]

im hoping they bring the jukebox into sn2

so i can jam to music with friends

[tawdry frost]

Let's be real, this game is such much better than 1

The only thing 1 did better was kinda the biomes

[eternal garnet]

BZ is often more beautiful

[tawdry frost]

That's true

Especially the northern lights

BZ needs keyboard and mouse support for the playstation

[fervent bloom]

These things are very subjective, but I do enjoy it much more, including the biome design and layout.

[tawdry frost]

More like these things are very SUBnautica

[cobalt hound]

we ball

:(

[next current]

I don't see why they wouldn't.

[dreamy oriole]

.

[dreamy oriole]

personally like the better graphics and sounds, bz's biggest leviathans, smoother running, and color schemes. The first subnautica had much more loneliness intrigue, space to explore, scarier leviathans, more vehicles, more stuff to do, more completed story and gameplay personally I just gotta go with the first one just because below zero is too short and lacks a bit in aspects that made the first game great

[chrome cedar]

I hope in the future though they find some way to have more than one track on a disc…

[zealous pawn]

It's interesting how ||Architect tech doesn't actually seem much more advanced than Humans have in the Subnautics universe. Like, the only tech humans don't seem to be on a comparable level with is self-augmentation with genetic modification and cybernetics, and even that seems more of a cultural difference than an inability.||

[fervent bloom]

I don't think humans have yet achieved ||teleportation||.

[carmine bobcat]

Ive got a problem

[dreamy oriole]

.

[zealous pawn]

||Not the local short distance ones as far as we know, yeah. Just the phase gates. But still they're pretty close on most fronts. Like, what made me think about it was getting the arms in the ending... that would be pretty crazy tech, but it's really not that different from a Propulsion Cannon.||

[dreamy oriole]

how do I blur the text

[carmine bobcat]

Use | twice on both sides

[dreamy oriole]

ok

[dreamy oriole]

or ||the ability to tranfer bodies or actually discover ion energy||

[zealous pawn]

Also is the ending weird to anyone else? ||It seems kind of unexpected for Robin to just... decide to leave for an alien planet.||

[dreamy oriole]

I think overall ||its because precursors have been there even before humans left earth and they have had all the time to test out with genetic modification and body transfer||

[dreamy oriole]

kinda but ||robin is a kinda careless and takes big risks like going to sector zero by herself with barely any knowledge on it and the fact that she has no where else to other than another transgov because she is probably wanted by alterra but idk how transgov switching works so maybe its either go with Al-An or hide out somewhere||

[fast tangle]

Robin is careless. Its was established in beginning shot as the fact that she jump on the planet without any exist plan bugged me and didn't even bring any tools/equipment for survival.

[dreamy oriole]

yeah even riley, a janitor, had more survival instinct lol

[dreamy oriole]

did u finish the game? if u did wanna hear my theory for the next game?

[fast tangle]

I did finished it 2 times by now

[dreamy oriole]

ok here's my theory: ||What if After robin and Al-An go to the precursor planet and everybody was truly dead, Al An blames it on himself and decides to fix the problem. So they use the advanced architect technology to make a time machine to go back to subnautica before the kharaa outbreak and stop himself from taking the Sea Dragon egg. The problem is Al-An can't go back because he will end up interacting with himself causing time travel problems. So robin offers to go herself (maybe with AL-AN guiding her in her head?) and journeys through prehistoric subnautica crater with all the areas from the first game. The problem is there are way bigger prehistoric 456B leviathans and she needs to find a way to make it down to the lost river base and stop Al-An from taking the egg. She has to employ some new vehicles or technology to do so (new subs or vehicles) this is supported by the latest screenshot as it kind of looks like a different version of the safee shallows just older maybe?||

[fervent bloom]

I think the next game is set after Below Zero...

[dreamy oriole]

yea thats what my theory says

[fervent bloom]

A developer has also said it's a new planet.

[eternal garnet]

I think the next game is set on a planet

[fast tangle]

Not gonna lie it's kinda good. This way we can live the time when precursor came on the planet. With a twists

[dreamy oriole]

yea thx

[fervent bloom]

I've heard others, including people who are fairly reliable, mention this, but I don't know anything directly.

[eternal garnet]

correction, at least one planet

[dreamy oriole]

so could be multiple for example the ||precursor|| planet too

and 456B

[eternal garnet]

Just covering bases. Probably not multiple

[dreamy oriole]

not entire planets just small portions during some sequences

[eternal garnet]

The screenshot seems to imply *water *and fish

[fervent bloom]

I would be very surprised if this turned out to be the case, but when you make the booster tank, the PDA mentions the "underwater acid tentacle forest of planet Alpha671." What if the new game was set on Alpha671?

[dreamy oriole]

maybe but there are probably other underwater planets in general and it wouldnt make sense for a underwater booster tank to exist if there were no other water planets

[fervent bloom]

I agree, but I don't really see how that evidences anything.

[dreamy oriole]

I just feel like without 456B subnautica wouldnt be the same so seeing it during a different time instead of a different sector like below zero could make it practically seem like an entirely new planet since it has fauna and flora we never saw before

[dreamy oriole]

it doesnt we are just theorizing

[fast tangle]

(just switched to pc). Its a cool idea, but I think its better for SN3 or 4. ||as i think next game wont be anything related to to AL-AN and Robin.|| just a guess.

[eternal garnet]

SN 7 when?

[fast tangle]

when GTA7 will arive then

[dreamy oriole]

yea maybe ig we wait and see

[fast tangle]

yeah, considering if SN2 did more on expanding the universe more on ||Architects, 4546B, Khaara Bacteria, Alterra and more.||

[tawdry frost]

I'm still yet to find a moonpool

[woeful storm]

this immediately reminded me of "i really hope subnautica 2 has some more diverse environments, maybe a space game?"

[tawdry frost]

Nuh uh

[dreamy oriole]

hey wassup

[tawdry frost]

Yoo

[woeful storm]

not a lot of water in space

[tawdry frost]

Wdym, it's full of water

[woeful storm]

maybe actually cant say i have been there

[tawdry frost]

You need to visit some time

It's a great place

[woeful storm]

sorry im stuck in the rot between worlds

[fast tangle]

SN - water
BZ - half water half land
SN2 - water and space. lol

[woeful storm]

SN5 - kind of like playing chess without a chessboard, the environment is actually just all inside of your mind

[fervent bloom]

I would say there's a lot more water than land in Below Zero, and Subnautica has non-negligible land area as well.

[fast tangle]

yeah, i mean, i not being detailed or something just saying.

[woeful storm]

more like a subnautica is a 10% 90% land-water split and below zero is more a 25 or 30% land

thats completely arbitrary but its like at least semi accurate

[fast tangle]

yeha kinda

[woeful storm]

altho realistically its the same planet so if you want to go that route it should be the same

[fast tangle]

bz land can go 50% considering if player get lost often there.

[woeful storm]

playable vs just sitting there in a big unused square is also a big difference

and like how far out into the void do you count cuz that could way skew stuff

[zealous pawn]

I kinda assumed she had more gear that got blown up in her landing ship I guess

[fast tangle]

not more, 3 food brick, 3 water bottle and 3 flare, that i can only see.

[zealous pawn]

Yeah but I mean maybe she had like a scanner and stuff in the ship part itself and they got burned up

[fast tangle]

maybe, maybe not. considering the size of her ship. i dont feel so.

or even she wanna come prepared, she should have stuffed the droppod. but the droppod was empty.

[fast tangle]

now come to think of it. the game has to create an accident/emergence to start the player stranded on the planet. Which I understand, but it's just that it's handled quite questionably and poorly. I was more connected to Ryley than Robin in the beginning scene even though he didn't speak any words.

[storm escarp]

What creature in bz is the biggest goober?

[tacit comet]

I love the shadow goober and the ice goober

[fast tangle]

infact evey leviathan in this game are all kinda goober.

except ||vent garden||

[carmine bobcat]

what should i do?

and my properties, if something is wrong here

[bold monolith]

Verify the game's files.

[floral olive]

Did you guys ever found seatruck energy efficiency?

[steel stream]

Is there even one?

[fast tangle]

i dont think there is

[floral olive]

Then why it shows on creative mode

[steel shoal]

Sometimes, creative has blueprints that are no longer available

[toxic slate]

Easier way to kill leviathan in bz?

[steel stream]

Easiest way might be to not kill them...

[cerulean musk]

throw snowballs at them

[misty tinsel]

i beat the game!

[half ermine]

what leviathan

probably prawn suit is best

grapple onto it and then punch (or drill) it

[tender wedge]

can all 3 pieces of the parallel processing unit be found in one part of the ship?

[eternal garnet]

yes but only in the biggest of 3 wrecks (Bow), at 250-300m deep

it's not usually the first you find (Stern)

[tender wedge]

i am in the one next to the lost pilot signal, and only found 2 pieces, and i am almost sure i explored the whole ship

[eternal garnet]

yes. that's the stern, at 50-100 deep in purple vents

Map for all three wrecks. You need 2 wrecks, but they also have lots of other scans

minor spoilers, biome names and depth map

I think the bow is directly south from the pilot beacon

[icy lily]

Why did my seatruck turn off then turn back on

Like in subnautica it's crabsquid

But what is it in this game

[cerulean musk]

squidshark

[icy lily]

Oh

Makes sense

[tawdry frost]

I have the guy inside of my head now

[eternal garnet]

So you ignored all your courses on alien contact. Got it

(This is a good thing)

[tawdry frost]

Someone asked if I had him inside of my head yesterday's

Idk who or why

[eternal garnet]

it is major game progress, so it matters on questions

[tawdry frost]

Bet

Any idea how I can get a high capacity tank?

[fast tangle]

It's somewhere around the distress call

[eternal garnet]

yes, in twisty bridges canyon, at 120m deep there's a small building. there

[tawdry frost]

I'm at like a bridge thing

[eternal garnet]

yes it's near to the blinky green pillars

[tawdry frost]

Yeah I saw those

What's at the last pilot

[eternal garnet]

just scout around at 120

no not there. Twisty bridges

[fast tangle]

The jumpscare lady

[eternal garnet]

oh whats there? This is where PDA lost contact with the prawn pilot

she isn't there, but on the way to her

[tawdry frost]

Ohh the stupid prawnsuit girl

I saw her

[fast tangle]

I wouldnt call her girl.

[eternal garnet]

to go there, you need 300m upgraded truck

[tawdry frost]

Is she like trans or something

[eternal garnet]

she's old

really old

[tawdry frost]

Elder

[eternal garnet]

Grumpy but helpful

[tawdry frost]

So what's at the pilot thing

Cause I have no idea which cave it is to get to her

It*

[eternal garnet]

This is where PDA lost contact with the prawn pilot

[tawdry frost]

I just know there is a moonpool

[fast tangle]

You need explore a bit further in to meet her there.

[eternal garnet]

and an NPC

[tawdry frost]

Sounds like a lot of shenanigans

I just need help on where the actual cave is to get to it

[fervent bloom]

That would be irrelevant to the term used to refer to her, regardless.

[tawdry frost]

Well i mean they said "I wouldn't call her girl" so what else am I to think.

Reminder, I just got this game 2 days ago.

[eternal garnet]

get High cap o2 and depth mark 1 first

[tawdry frost]

Oh I was on my way there already

Someone said I can find air plants

[eternal garnet]

Then at the pilot beacon, head into the tunnel to ||the NW, down to 360m||. you can swim the last bit. Don't look for a door, there isn't one

yes, this is one of the last areas with o2 plants for you

[tawdry frost]

Okay so like where is the high capacity again

[eternal garnet]

120m deep twisty bridges by a small building, close to where you found a friend

[tawdry frost]

So uhhh

Is there a certain direction to go

Cause I still have no clue where to go

[eternal garnet]

the central canyon in the south half of twisty. Cruise along at 120m. Also look for the crane at 170m, goodies there

so a bit north of delta beacon

[tender wedge]

how can I stand up from the seastruck without going into the water insta?

[eternal garnet]

If the floor is too angled to walk on, you go directly out. 45 degrees is the limit

You need at least one module on, or to die

[vague zealot]

Could a rock punchers punch hurt a sea emperor

[steel stream]

If you can spawn them in the same game, probably yes

[cerulean musk]

you can in earlier versions

[eternal garnet]

You still can, but they have no texture. Punchers leave them alone and attack me

[shadow sigil]

if u stay long enough they reporoduce?

[eternal garnet]

no I spawned babies

[shadow sigil]

also i found this guy evolving above ground

[next current]

Eye Jelly. :)

[drifting finch]

Those freaking things are staring at me

[tawdry frost]

I hate the sea monkeys

[eternal garnet]

don't you have alan? They help you now. Pin some recipes you need and visit

[tawdry frost]

Yeah

I got Alan a few hours ago

What does he do exactly

[eternal garnet]

they can give diamonds, nickel, ruby (not up north)

[tawdry frost]

Wait seriously? I thought Alan was the guy in your head

[eternal garnet]

monkeys give you those, if you pin

[fervent bloom]

Only ||Lilypads Crevice|| sea monkeys can bring the player rubies?

[tawdry frost]

Ohh

What monkey do I need for diamonds

[eternal garnet]

probably. I'm not sure. I know it's region dependent

[tawdry frost]

So wait, do I just pin it and they bring It to you?

[eternal garnet]

any

[tawdry frost]

?

[eternal garnet]

They are always 50% random. The rest are anything from your pins

[fervent bloom]

Yes, that's how it works.

[tawdry frost]

Whatt, so do I pin the entire recipe, or only the diamond

[fervent bloom]

If you have anything containing diamonds pinned, they will bring you as many as you need, but you need the resource to be a direct ingredient. For example, they won't know to bring you silver if you have something that needs the wiring kit.

[eternal garnet]

unpin stuff you don't want

[tawdry frost]

Oh okay I understand

I want the modification thing

#makeGoldEasierToFind

Calverite atleast

[fervent bloom]

Sea monkeys can bring that as well. If you can locate rock punchers, you can get gold out of the rocks they dig up.

[tawdry frost]

Ooo

This game is great

[eternal garnet]

I meant, they give all basic resources up to diamond, nickel, ruby, magnetite

[tawdry frost]

Ohh

[eternal garnet]

and it's biome specific in some cases

[fervent bloom]

You can get as much titanium, copper, gold, and silver as you'd like from rock punchers.

[tawdry frost]

What about diamond

What biome for diamond

[eternal garnet]

monke

probably all

[tawdry frost]

Bet

Heading to like the shore thing now

[eternal garnet]

basically: nothing that's miles away

and no kyanite

no spiral plant

[fervent bloom]

The Arctic Kelp Forest sea monkeys can bring diamonds, but I don't know that others cannot.

[tawdry frost]

I havnt needed/seen kyanite yet

[fervent bloom]

What about uraninite crystals?

[eternal garnet]

doubtful

maybe! I never pin that

The wiki knows if you must know

[tawdry frost]

Is it judt me, or when I complete a fragment blueprint, they are so much more common to find

[eternal garnet]

there are a LOT of truck fragments

[fervent bloom]

I tried making a nuclear reactor in a mostly Creative-like game. The hum does give one a headache...

[tawdry frost]

I find sea glide fragments ALL the time

[eternal garnet]

yes build the reactor a bit away

[tawdry frost]

And mobile vehicle bag

But when I found them and crafted them, they are all over the place

[fervent bloom]

I wonder if it's supposed to be unpleasant... even if it's safe, you wouldn't want to spend much time near a nuclear reactor.

[tawdry frost]

A sea monkey just gave me titanium

[eternal garnet]

that's the 50% random, or you have Ti pinned

[tawdry frost]

So at first they take, now give? (The sea monkeys have changed their tune)

[eternal garnet]

yes

[tawdry frost]

Nay I got a modification thing built, it needed 1 titanium

[eternal garnet]

They love... someone.

[tawdry frost]

Wait it gave me a creepvine sample

And I didn't need it

Yess one gave me diamond

All my problems are solved, now I can get the mod bench, then craft a depth module, then be able to go to the pilots last know postion then get the moonpool

Yall are really helpful, thanks

[eternal garnet]

You tried to hate on the cute monke. We cannot allow

[tender wedge]

can you not connect a large room with a multi purpose one?

[tawdry frost]

I change my ways

[tawdry frost]

No

[fervent bloom]

This is impossible, unfortunately.

[tawdry frost]

I don't think so atleast

Honestly they should add that

[eternal garnet]

no. multis cannot have any vertical connection, except another multi room

[tawdry frost]

Im guessing they can't give me a computer chip 😭

[eternal garnet]

nothing crafted, and not most organics

except: they can pick up what you drop

[tawdry frost]

Organic as in like plants

[fervent bloom]

They can bring table coral, gold, and copper, though.

[tawdry frost]

Yeah I just pinned

[fervent bloom]

Would they be expected to grab dropped gold quickly?

[tawdry frost]

They keep giving me creepvine stuff (I'm around creepvine so that's probably why)

[eternal garnet]

I dunno

[tawdry frost]

Petition to add a pet feature to the sea monkey

[eternal garnet]

again, they give 50% from the random shortlist, which is creepvine, Ti, copper, quartz

[tawdry frost]

Ohh

[eternal garnet]

that list is probably close to right

[fervent bloom]

The first time you mentioned titanium as Ti, I thought you were referring to me.

[eternal garnet]

oh.

[tawdry frost]

[eternal garnet]

[tawdry frost]

They have yet to give me a gold

Yess I got gokd

Gold*

Alan just gave me a location ||arvhitect artifact x3j||

[eternal garnet]

one of the purposes of those is to have you explore around there

same with the SN radio beacons

[tawdry frost]

I got a disc!!!

[tawdry frost]

So I came to this

And he said it can help him find something

Anything else I gotta do down here after finding the alien thing

[fervent bloom]

As it turns out, spikey traps can eat even the largest eye jellies.

[tawdry frost]

Got the high capacity

Finally have the better tank

Now I'm heading straight to the pilot

I found it (pretend this is all caps)

I got the achievement

Bro a gorilla attacked me when I went in her base

[eternal garnet]

no a snow stalker. His name is Preston

[tawdry frost]

That's a gorilla in my book

I thought alterra was the good guys

[eternal garnet]

no but they were more evil in the last game

[random dawn]

What did alterra do

[shadow sigil]

how was alterra evil in subnautica?

[random dawn]

Ikr

[tawdry frost]

Because of the money owed?

[steel shoal]

They had a very cold and work-oriented culture. People treated relationships as business, and didn't hang out with each other.

[random dawn]

All they did was not investigate the 3 crashed space craft

[random dawn]

How do you know

[steel shoal]

How do you not know?

[tawdry frost]

3 trillion in debt

[random dawn]

I just don't

[steel shoal]

There are like 10 PDAs about it in the previous game

[random dawn]

Ik that

[random dawn]

Lol I don't read those

[steel shoal]

Well, maybe it's time you do

[shadow sigil]

those were seperate altrra staff

we only got to hear the one problem about relationship

how could it mean theyre evil

[steel shoal]

You can also listen to Khasar and other employees

And there are a bunch of PDAs about the lifestyle

I think the Chinese Potato scan entry talks about it too

[eternal garnet]

I just rememeber reading that Alterra went less evil in BZ. I don't know

[steel shoal]

In BZ, we do see a warmer side of Alterra

[tawdry frost]

So after seeing Marge what do I do

At the pilot thing

[carmine bobcat]

can someone else join vc so we can have a nice convo

[tawdry frost]

@eternal garnet

[eternal garnet]

maybe listen to what she said

[tawdry frost]

What did she say

Fix the radio

[eternal garnet]

there's a tab for this in the PDA

[tawdry frost]

Where do I find the tube looking thing

[eternal garnet]

in the wrecks. 3 scans

[tawdry frost]

The parallel processing unit

I'll just look it up

[eternal garnet]

how do we know? PDA by the tower

[tawdry frost]

Well idk, you've been helpful a lot today so i thought I'd ask you.

[eternal garnet]

I don't like to guide every step

[icy loom]

cyclops wasn’t a good thing in the first game

ran out of battery to fast

[tawdry frost]

Fr

With like 6 power cells

[icy loom]

could have one moonpool in the blue tree area and have that do its job instead

prawn suit over cyclops all day

[tawdry frost]

Seamoth>prawn>cyclops

[icy loom]

if the seamoth had an actual good depth module it’s the only thing you’d ever need

[woeful storm]

i mean its pretty decent all things considered

like 70% of the depth comes from it

[eternal garnet]

Never liked cyclops. it's like driving a cow. That's asleep.

[icy loom]

back me up in the subnautica chat you’re perfect

[steel shoal]

I think you're just not careful, my Cyclops lasts the whole game

[plush fjord]

Mine eats power extremely fast mostly because I'm constantly running sonar or something like that

[tender wedge]

what farmable food can I make?

and where can I find it?

[steel shoal]

Have you been to Delta? There are plants there, and a map

[eternal garnet]

pilot's greenhouse has the most OP food ever. But it's about midgame
Fevered peppers, growing on the icy land in the west

[tender wedge]

i am around mid game i think

is this stackable?

[eternal garnet]

no

[tender wedge]

a game currently ongoing cant be modded, right?

[eternal garnet]

it can. mods change the engine

You can also switch to a custom game, in options / gameplay

[tender wedge]

i dont wanna, i just wanna add in something extra for the seatruck tbh

[eternal garnet]

can do

[tender wedge]

where? i cant find it

[eternal garnet]

in the caves, that nut plant

nice food, no water

fevered peppers give both + heat

[chrome cedar]

Plus health

[tender wedge]

and where can I find that?

[eternal garnet]

on icy land in the west

So a little later game maybe

in the hidden Outpost Zero, lantern fruit. Not the best food

Tastes nasty!

[tender wedge]

i am about to hit 10 hours, so as i said mid game-sih

i just want something other than fishing for fish

[eternal garnet]

so if you go west-north-west from delta, you will see a radio antenna. dock there, walk west. Major area, plus fevered peppers

[tender wedge]

sparse artic?

[eternal garnet]

no. North-west. But more west than north. This is what west-north-west means

[rugged jacinth]

Is there a reason why Below Zero’s map was so….small?

Compared to the first game’s vast and expansive world

[eternal garnet]

devs probably felt it was too big, taking too long to cross

And I don't mind the map

[rugged jacinth]

It just feels like I’m in a sandbox

[eternal garnet]

It's pretty densely packed, compared

[steel shoal]

It's more detailed, and also more focused on the story, and less on the exploration. The smaller map works, and the World's Edge biome makes it appear larger than it is, too.

I think the Seatruck is slower than the Seamoth

[rugged jacinth]

I guess? I hope Subnautica 2’s map is as big as the first though

If not? Heck even bigger

[eternal garnet]

if we get a really fast vehicle, sure
Engine certainly allows a much larger view distance

or, fast travel

[rugged jacinth]

Cyclops MK 2? 👀

[eternal garnet]

cyclops is SLOW

[rugged jacinth]

Yeah that’s why I suggested a Cyclops Mark 2

Make it similar to the old one but have it more retrofitted to the bigger map if there is one

Maybe even make the layout of it different. They have to have a massive submarine in the game cause it’s gonna have 4 player co-op. They should utilize that

[steel shoal]

Cyclops is a little bit clunky, I'd love a new vehicle that behaves differently

[steel shoal]

Co-op will be optional, and not the main focus. It'll still be a single-player-first game

[rugged jacinth]

Why not still have a sub that can still have 4 people inside it at once though?

I don’t see anything wrong with that

[steel shoal]

A sub for 4 would be nice, but a huge huge submarine would feel underutilized, and make you feel small

The Cyclops, on the other hand, makes you feel big

[rugged jacinth]

Like I suggested: simply REWORK the Cyclops and call it the Cyclops MK 2

They can take what makes the original great and just fix the problems some people have with it

[zealous pawn]

I just want base building to be more flexible

[steel shoal]

Completely new seems better

[steel shoal]

They mentioned that they have an entire team dedicated to base building. I'm excited

[rugged jacinth]

I don’t imagine the original Prawn Suit MK 1 looked identical to its current MK 3 model. Who says they can’t just make the Cyclops Mark 2 look vastly different from the old one?

[chrome cedar]

There is a new vehicle shown that seems to be larger than the Sea Truck, but a lot smaller than Cyclops.

[rugged jacinth]

Really? I wanna see

[chrome cedar]

From the look it doesn’t seem like something that be expanded, but maybe not…

[steel shoal]

Hot take: I don't really like the Prawn. I don't want to see it, unless it goes through a major rework

[steel shoal]

#announcements

[rugged jacinth]

Not the point of what I said but thank you

[chrome cedar]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Subnautica_2?action=edit

[steel shoal]

I know, I know. Just felt like sharing

[rugged jacinth]

It….looks like a remodeled Sea Truck

Like if you told me that they were just adding the Sea truck to the second game and I took a glance like that I’d believe it

[steel shoal]

Tadpole sub

It doesn't look like the truck, it's just round

[chrome cedar]

It seems larger than the truck. Could conceivably dock into a larger sub?

[eternal garnet]

the end bit is clearly a propeller like thing

[rugged jacinth]

Praying that the leviathans are scary again tho. Not a fan of how BZ’s were

[rugged jacinth]

It kinda reminds me of like a mix of the Seamoth and the Sea Truck

[steel shoal]

But BZ's were definitely more unique. Only one eel

[eternal garnet]

I personally call it a cyclops egg

like offspring

[steel shoal]

I hope Alex Ries goes even wilder with the designs

[rugged jacinth]

They need to just take the uniqueness BZ had but maybe up the terror a bit

[chrome cedar]

Seems like a larger Seamoth.

[rugged jacinth]

You can’t lie and tell me the Chelicerate wasn’t even slightly disappointing. It was

[eternal garnet]

it looks small

[steel shoal]

It seems like a, Prawn without limbs

[steel shoal]

I actually really enjoyed it. Beautiful fish, the fins are really cool

[eternal garnet]

I like it, dissapointing sounds

[rugged jacinth]

Meh. I’m not easily impressed. Compared to the first game’s leviathans BZ’s are child’s play to me

[steel shoal]

Sound design could be better, yes. Cryptolosers being louder than speeding cars at night, and then everything else super quiet

[rugged jacinth]

The only one I enjoyed was the ||ice worm|| because it made me actually scared to traverse through there. I have a soft spot for that Leviathan in the ||crystal caves|| as well

||shadow leviathan?||

[steel shoal]

SN leviathans, except for the last one, are really simple. I think in terms of visual design, BZ was a vast improvement. More unique shapes, more complex and related designs, and they feel consistent.

But you know, BZ is pretty, not scary

[rugged jacinth]

Sometimes simplicity doesn’t always equal terrible or worse immediately by default. This is one of those cases

[steel shoal]

Reapers are pretty boring, except for the head.

[rugged jacinth]

And if you’re like me and go into Subnautica wanting to feel thrilled or on the edge then BZ is just not it

[eternal garnet]

Reapers have the perfect screams. Perfect

[rugged jacinth]

Reapers are literally the definition of how a first leviathan encounter should be though. I wouldn’t change a thing about them

[steel shoal]

Yea, I am not like you. I go there to explore and be amazed. Like Bart.

[rugged jacinth]

They’re arguably the perfect Leviathan

[steel shoal]

I'd make them smaller, maybe add a little more depth to them, more fins? Patterns? They work great as a mascot, but the artificial length doesn't appeal much to me.

[chrome cedar]

Peeper Leviathan

[rugged jacinth]

Never

We don’t talk about that. That thing was too scary to even be conceived

[chrome cedar]

Pengwing?

[rugged jacinth]

Honestly tho a Peeper Leviathan wouldn’t be a bad Easter egg creature you could encounter on like certain conditions and it would be a cool callback to one of Subnautica’s most famous hoaxes

[steel shoal]

Ice Worms feel like a force of nature, I'd say they're the best leviathans. Though I'd love some Snowfox-specific attacks, knocking me over is annoying

[chrome cedar]

I’m sure the architects could have engineered one…

[steel shoal]

Hoaxes? Are you saying it's not real?

[rugged jacinth]

Now That’s a BZ opinion I find valid

You know what it kind of reminds me of?

[chrome cedar]

Dune? Tremors?

[rugged jacinth]

It’s not quite the same but remember the Single Cell biome for Subnautica 1 that never made the cut? Like how it was supposed to be an area where the environment itself would try and kill you?

The ice worm kinda makes me feel like the environment is trying to kill me

[rugged jacinth]

Look this up btw Jimbo it’s kinda interesting

[chrome cedar]

The Subnautica environment is constantly trying to kill you…

[steel shoal]

The biome looks cool, but would probably be annoying

[rugged jacinth]

Nah but that’s the thing: the environment WAS the creature. That scrapped biome was a living organism

[steel shoal]

Not sure how it would fit the map either

[chrome cedar]

Hard to fathom (pun intended) how such an environment wouldn’t end up overrunning all others.

[rugged jacinth]

Twisty Bridges were also originally meant for the first game as well!

You can find areas of the map that sort of look like they were supposed to be twisty bridges in beta builds of the game

[fervent bloom]

The ||Lilypad Islands|| were as well, I believe.

[rugged jacinth]

Indeed

[zealous pawn]

Not dangerous enough tbh

[tawdry frost]

So whats the ||hover bike|| even useful since it can't,||hover over water||

[eternal garnet]

zooming around the glacial basin. Not so much across the bridge, unless you get the antiworm module

[tawdry frost]

Dude I'm watching someone's old stream and as soon as I got here they said "play subnautica" (someone in chat)

It's caseoh and jynxzi

[carmine bobcat]

lmaoooo no all the leviathans in bz were so underwhelmingly terrifying when you have the correct tools. for example; dont use snowfox, use prawn suit. ||ice worm|| can do nothing but flail. and ||Shadow leviathan|| can js be shocked then goes away for a min and then comes back

BZ is pretty lights not ooooo spooky

SN is ooooo spooky

you have much less ways of countering the leviathans and the environment is much more dark and.. well.. ooooo spooky.

also, yeah theres, they just- spammed the leviathans in certain areas for SN (BZ has wayyy less levis)

then again, the map is much bigger in SN compared to BZ so the distribution is fair

[fervent bloom]

I think using them sparingly is the better course, as they should feel unusual. I don't believe the map is 4/25ths the size, though.

[carmine bobcat]

Nobody ventures the dunes and for good reasons

1. dear god why is there so many leviathans
2. dear god they even put a PDA warning
3. dear god there's not even that much useful stuff in here

In BZ while the leviathans are used scarcely they're in integral parts which are vital inorder to beat the game (SN also does this, but adds a side of a kajillion leviathans in mainly, empty areas. I guess devs just got bored and decided to make those specific areas hell-zones)

[fervent bloom]

I enjoy exploring the Dunes...

[carmine bobcat]

4. dear god what is wrong with this person

[eternal garnet]

some nice wrecks

[tawdry frost]

I like exploring my base

I've come up with a new design, anybody wanna hear

Well I could draw it

[fervent bloom]

I may have a different playstyle - I've been known to swim with chelicerates - but there's something I appreciate about the empty sand and the oasis-like thermal vents.

[tawdry frost]

Or make it in creative

[carmine bobcat]

chelicerates i can understand; if they act up, one jab with a butter knife and they run away.. but the dunes??

[carmine bobcat]

yeah sure

[fast tangle]

Yeah, but there are some changes in levi Ai I can see that's annoying. In SN leviathans are like not on to you again and again. You can if you want swin around them, sometimes they don't mind you in there area. While in Bz, the movement you in there area, they are on to you, again and again, making you life hell.

In fact it's just not leviathans, its with all creature. Like in SN, stalker sandshark do atk you but not that often. You can be around them. But here in BZ, even a Squidshark guaranty to make your life hell.

If they had the same ai, I wouldn't mind having leviathans in the integral parts of the game. That would be less annoying but terrifing

[carmine bobcat]

see this behavior is negated if you use a perimeter defense module

hopefully you can zap it before it zaps you tho

but basically yes BZ has relentless UNTIL you zap them, in which case they wander for a bit before coming back

SN they aren't really relentless they just hit n run

[fast tangle]

That's also a problem. See, perimeter is only there because the leviathans are constantly on to you making your life hard. And now once you have perimeter defence, leviathans are not leviathans at all. It's a problem not a defence.

Imagine going through cristal cave to last base without perimeter defence.

Are you now terrified of leviathans? I say no your are going to annoyed.

[carmine bobcat]

prob. would be near impossible without something like afterburner

[fast tangle]

But then take perimeter defence with you. Now you are terrified of leviathans? Still no because it's too easy like they do not even exist.

[carmine bobcat]

perimeter just makes the shadow leviathan a non-issue, with the afterburner its a looming threat that might be scary but with the perimeter the leviathans just become a easy lil thing that screeches at you and pops up every few minutes annoying you

[fast tangle]

All im saying there is no perfect balance here. That guy meant last big daddy leviathans and you are not afraid of it both ways.

[eternal garnet]

without defense, and also in prawn, all you do is repair immediately after an attack. repeat

[carmine bobcat]

TRUE

[eternal garnet]

do not hide first

[carmine bobcat]

but they did nerf my boy repair tool

feels like its so much slower

anyway basically how i see using the modules
using afterburner = threat not fully dealt with (maybe scary)
using perimeter = shadow leviathan a non-issue pops up every minute to check if you're lacking (annoying?)

[fast tangle]

(Just thinking) best way to balance it. I would say bring back the last game ai like ||reaper|| had and remove or nerf perimeter def a little, and then place more loot around the area.

[cobalt hound]

stasis rifle:

quite basically, every leviathan has a counter on SN1

and its just the stasis rifle

[delicate shoal]

what could i do with this

[bold monolith]

You find the antidote.

There is a map at Phi Robotics telling you its location.

[delicate shoal]

is this it

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[delicate shoal]

ignis do i need spy pengling to get the antidote?

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[steel stream]

Yes

[delicate shoal]

whoa

[steel stream]

At least someone is using beacons

[left marsh]

People don’t use beacons?

[delicate shoal]

People used their mind

[steel shoal]

"feel" was an important word. There is no real danger if you're careful.

[viral knot]

lemme cook

we bout to invade whole sector zero

or should i say punch the whole sector zero

[steel shoal]

Please, leave some rocks for the poor 🙏

[viral knot]

[viral knot]

no rocks will be left

[left marsh]

I mean i use both but using beacoan is just kinda convenient

[viral knot]

@steel shoal can shadow levi glitch and swim around without a single part of his body moving except for the tail

cause that's what he's doing rn

[steel shoal]

I've never had that happen to me

[viral knot]

maybe game restart

maybe my base is too big for the game lol

[fast tangle]

Shadow levi tryna be shadow

[viral knot]

why can i see the fish from my aquarium

[viral knot]

ok i guess bro fixed himself

can i duplicate my save

cause i have it on steam cloud and i just want a backup file on my pc

[viral knot]

same from here

[fast tangle]

try restart, maybe everything then got fixed.

[steel shoal]

Bases are alway loaded, regardless of distance

It's to ensure that the plants and fish are growing, and the furniture is working

[viral knot]

yes but i cant see the rooms etc

it's just a bit weird seeing this

yk

[steel shoal]

I guess that from the outside, the rooms themselves despawn, but not their interiors

[viral knot]

inside

both from inside, first one from observation room

[steel shoal]

It's strange, I have a surface base, I can always see it

[steel shoal]

Yes but you're looking from outside the room you're looking at

[viral knot]

idk tbh
i dont really care
but yk it just looks weird

[viral knot]

oh you mean that

[fast tangle]

personally, I have never experienced this in Bz, I did in SN. well, maybe I'm not a base person, that's why.

[delicate shoal]

i wonder how the void looks like

[fast tangle]

on land?

[delicate shoal]

no

[fast tangle]

void in this game is well just void.

[delicate shoal]

Whats over here

the black arrow*

[fast tangle]

some fragments or something.

[delicate shoal]

ok ty

[fast tangle]

if you are interested in ||Snowfox||, there might be something for ya.

[delicate shoal]

im actually dont know where the spot i pointed with the black arrow

i cant find it

is there uh ||snowfox upgrades over there|| @fast tangle

[fast tangle]

yeah kinda

[fast tangle]

well, i just checked it, there you will find some ore vien. that's it. or a snowfox upgrade is on the way.

[delicate shoal]

Yo is this it is this the spot?

[delicate shoal]

oh really

[delicate shoal]

whats that

[fast tangle]

you were there at the flag sign

the snow fox upgrade is above sign

[delicate shoal]

so where is this spot

aboveee what!

wait really

oh idk i could jump in

[fast tangle]

now you are the tree on the map or not?

where you are headed?

[delicate shoal]

inside this but with prawn suit

i think i have made a big mistake

[fast tangle]

yeah i thought so

cant get up or somethng

[delicate shoal]

yes

[fast tangle]

i didn't know you could jump in. look for a way now.

[delicate shoal]

HELLLPPP

xd

@fast tangle do you open Dm

[fast tangle]

what?

[delicate shoal]

i will show you something

[fast tangle]

yeah sure

[fast tangle]

well have you been to the red mark pengling area. or not?

[delicate shoal]

Where is this place

[delicate shoal]

no

[eternal garnet]

On the north ice wall, just east of your crash site, go under the ice by some ice fruit, and up on land. The right spot has plants on land

[jovial stone]

I saw Iceworms have unique death animations if you die from them, do they only trigger if you're near death or..?

[viral knot]

god why did i even build this

[jovial stone]

The Spore biome is pretty at least

[viral knot]

final look
i think

my sea truck is legit too big to go down here lol

[tender wedge]

how can you grow ribbon plants?

[eternal garnet]

cut with a knife

[viral knot]

obviously not bc i always forget to add the control room

does the red fit better than white?

[fervent bloom]

I think the red is more fitting, though white is also a good choice.

[tender wedge]

i am so stupid

[viral knot]

funny how my only mission to go there was to get ||yellow trivavle eggs||

and i ended up building this😭

at least i completed the mission

[delicate shoal]

hey is it possible to ran out of reactor rod

[eternal garnet]

it's difficult. And you can craft them

[viral knot]

yes

especially if you have many filtration machines and a scanner room often active

i think i had to exchange the rods at my main base like twice?

[fervent bloom]

Why would you have more than one water filtration machine? Mine produces more than I need.

[viral knot]

wow i dont remember my inventory having so many different items
maybe that's because i often just stack up on titanium

[viral knot]

because i like to be stacked up on items

[viral knot]

:)

my main base has 3 i think

[fervent bloom]

What fuel do you use for the bioreactor?

[viral knot]

peppers

and lantern tree fruits

[fervent bloom]

I would suggest gel sacks, if you want a plant you can grow.

[eternal garnet]

peppers can grow right next to the reactor. nice

[viral knot]

bro i have peppers growing everywhere lol

[viral knot]

yeah exactly

[eternal garnet]

They are also great food

[viral knot]

👍

[viral knot]

an ingredient to the best food too

i dont think gel sacs will be better lol

[fervent bloom]

They are more efficient, but less convenient.

[viral knot]

yeah
but i can use peppers
to eat them
to make the salad
and to fuel the reactor

and that's why gel sacs seem pretty useless to me

other than aerogel and sth else iirc

god i cant navigate here

it's the second time i'm here lol

[tender wedge]

2 seconds before the shadow leviathan jumps into my neck

[agile niche]

guys what do you think of my base?

[eternal garnet]

it's not easy being green

[agile niche]

I really like the color

[steel stream]

Their point was that gel sack is more power-efficient biofuel than pepper (or actually any plant)

[viral knot]

yes i know

i also stated my point why they seem useless to me

👍

[cobalt hound]

put trivalves in the bioreactor

👍

[viral knot]

very cool
i like how the sea truck colour matches with base

[agile niche]

yea

[viral knot]

god pls dont ever do that

[cobalt hound]

what if i do

[viral knot]

my yellow guys are hatching rn

[viral knot]

do. not.

it's a crime.

🥺

[cobalt hound]

there are no laws agaisnt putting trivalves into the bioreactor

🔥

[viral knot]

at least it gave you a warning lol

[viral knot]

😭

[fervent bloom]

I'm considering a small ||Crystal Caves Fissure|| base. Would the hydrothermal vents there work for power? I don't need much.

[steel shoal]

Yes, it's very hot down there

[fervent bloom]

It won't really work for watching the ||shadow leviathan||, but I think that's okay.

[steel shoal]

You can make a little tube going out

It'll work like a periscope

[fervent bloom]

I think I would rather have a small separate observatory base elsewhere.

[lofty pasture]

ugh I can't find something al-an is telling me to find

like the second one

[lofty pasture]

why does it look yellow 😭

[carmine bobcat]

boiz i need fast help

i used fly on my last save and forgot its blocking achievements (big brain)

but does opening console disabling them|?

[eternal garnet]

no, but typing any valid command in it

Are you on PC? Installing QmodManager will re-enable achievements

any command will set the cheat flag, which is stored in your save. No save, no problem

[carmine bobcat]

cuz my game bugged while i ALT-tabed and console opened and it was like AAAAA//AAAa/ and there weren't any communicates that a command has been used

im on PC

[eternal garnet]

so if you used fly, then did not save, you are ok

aaaa into console should be ok

[carmine bobcat]

but i got new save cause i wanted those achievements and on this save my console opened

[eternal garnet]

yes, opening it is ok

[carmine bobcat]

so im going to achieve these achievements? right?

[eternal garnet]

valid command into it is not, If you save after

Not quite sure what you did in console

[carmine bobcat]

it bugged, there was litteraly ,,AAAAAa//aAA/''

[eternal garnet]

and then what

[carmine bobcat]

but i didnt got communicated that a comand have been used

do i see if a save is flagged?

[eternal garnet]

you cannot see it

[carmine bobcat]

freaak

[eternal garnet]

what did you do next?

[carmine bobcat]

just ran into this discord

[eternal garnet]

k. Did not save?

[carmine bobcat]

last save was like 10 minutes ago

[eternal garnet]

To be safe, quit and reload save. To be sure

but, really it should be ok anyway

so you might just ignore it

[carmine bobcat]

okay, i love you <333333

[stone orbit]

||the caverns are the lost river of BZ||

[eternal garnet]

Not really. You may be dissapointed with that idea

[tawdry frost]

The lost river was kinda scary

But really cool

[tawdry frost]

Someone forgot to text their beloved other

[slate valley]

They are morenof a jellyshroom cave

[cerulean musk]

deep lilypads are more the jellyshrooms

[slate valley]

The deep lilypads are more just like anrandom ah cave you find in a biome

Way to small to be considerd its own imo

[cerulean musk]

what? deep lilypads are quite big with all the flowers and 2 distinct layers

[slate valley]

Okthen im thinking of abdiff biome

Ibthoughtbyou meant tge small caves in the biome

[jovial bronze]

question: what do I do to progress after I ||find the frozen leviathan|| and after I ||find the architect skeleton and organs||? I've found both of those things but even after exploring for a bit, I have no clue what to do, and ||AL-AN|| hasn't ||said|| anything to me

if possible, I'd just like to know the very next things I can do to get back on track with the story, since I spoiled myself last time with Subnautica, and I don't want to repeat that

[cerulean musk]

exlpore over the bridge

[slate valley]

Explore || artifacts|| and search for more resources

[jovial bronze]

oh, I already did that, and ||found the greenhouse area|| as well as ||found the architect area deep in the crystal caves (aren't the architect organs found there?)||

[slate valley]

They are indeed found tgere

[jovial bronze]

I've also found ||a satellite artifact, but AL-AN didn't say anything when I found it||

[cerulean musk]

there is more beyond the green house beyond the brigde, try and follow the cable lying all over the place in the arctic spires

[jovial bronze]

oh, so there's more stuff out there

I saw ||the cables|| but I thought I already found everything there when I found ||the greenhouse||

[slate valley]

Just scan the artifacts

[jovial bronze]

ty, I'll go explore more there

[slate valley]

For a new power sourceband more info on || alla. ||

[jovial bronze]

I think I did, but lemme check

[jovial bronze]

are you talking about the one ||nearby Phi Robotics, that had the battery array?||

[slate valley]

I just unlocked them by scanning all artifacts

The artifacts are the lost pots of below zero, not necissary but important

[jovial bronze]

by "them" do you mean ||the architect compnents||, or the ||various technologies that you get, like ion batteries, or the recycler||

[slate valley]

2nd thung you wrote

[jovial bronze]

ah

[eternal garnet]

Artifacts give rewards, up to a total count of 10

[jovial bronze]

does each one give you a new technology until you reach that cap, or is it a percent chance to get technologies, with the total number of technologies capping at 10?

wait, actually, does the ||satellite artifact|| give you the ||parallel processing unit|| or the ||test module override||? if so, that'd explain it, since I already had both unlocked at the time of scanning

[steel shoal]

Hm

None

PCU is inside the wrecked ship, TMO is ||in Maida's underwater base||

Artifacts are just a counter, after certain milestones you get an alien-related blueprint

[jovial bronze]

oh, I see

[eternal garnet]

• a blueprint

[steel shoal]

||They're not normal blueprints though, they all share cubes as an ingredient, right?||

The reward for finding all artifacts is ||a Seatruck module||

[eternal garnet]

possibly, plausibly

[jovial bronze]

would clicking that tag be a significant spoiler, or would it be fine?

the second one

[steel shoal]

It's a surprise

[eternal garnet]

very minor

[steel shoal]

I'd rather not click it if you want to be surprised

[eternal garnet]

Spoilers are more for players we are not replying to

[jovial bronze]

ah, okay

[steel stream]

And the list of blueprints is always the same, so scanning same number of artifacts gives the same blueprint in every save

[left marsh]

Would this even count as a major spoiler. It’s very… vague.

[steel shoal]

Yes but it's not something one would expect

[left marsh]

Mm true

[fast tangle]

I accidentally happen to had a great use of the seatruck module.

I went to Arctic Spires on foot and reached to the ||Alan Body Facility|| and then after on my way back I got lost in with the ||Ice worm||. So, idk how I realised I should use that i got some cubes and bam, back at sea truck. Kinda insane.

But it does have it's down side or idk I'm wrong. But i thing it won't teleport me with my Prawn Suit. Uff

[gray wren]

when did they add the boosting thing with the prawn suit?

[eternal garnet]

very early

[jovial bronze]

so it turns out I actually had been to the place that had the ||architect component||, but I just failed to notice the ||finger crushed under the rock||

I guess I just figured I would need some tool I'd find later to ||excavate that area and find a more relevant place beyond it||

[icy lily]

Where is the cache in arctic spires

What direction

[clever crow]

north

[icy lily]

K

[clever crow]

@silver hatch they are here because Ryley snitched big time (intentionally or not).

1. resources
2. alien stuff to steal
3. nasty nasty bacterium although they didn't find it at first cuz it all died
4. they were supposed to build the gate thing nearby anyway

[fervent bloom]

@wide cradle , it's at the far side of the biome from the entrance. Following the ||Architect cabling|| should get you there.

[wide cradle]

Thank you

[subtle zinc]

How different is BZ from base Subnautica?

[eternal garnet]

It's same and different. You aren't alone. There are NPCs. You talk. Different vehicles. You can freeze

BZ is very chill and beautiful though

[chrome cedar]

Same planet, different area. Smaller map, more story, beautiful scenery.

[limpid drum]

I think BZ kinda 'compacted' all the stuff SN biomes had into a smaller area
Made it look better, but also made the map a tad bit smaller

[chrome cedar]

Well, not exactly. Many biomes are smaller, that’s true enough.

[steel shoal]

But the story requires you moving from one side to the other, large map would be tiring

[chrome cedar]

Truck upgrade would have been the fix for that.

[steel shoal]

With modules, it already feels like a lot

[limpid drum]

are you able to place anything in the seatruck?

posters, decoration, anything?

[eternal garnet]

not the cockpit. you need modules on the back

no

[limpid drum]

aw

[eternal garnet]

You can't build anything

But the sleeper has a picture frame. And jukebox

[steel shoal]

and a bed

[eternal garnet]

sleeper has a bed?!?!

[steel shoal]

Ah, wrong channel

[stone orbit]

oh

sorry andy🙏

[eternal garnet]

it is, but not immediately noticeable

[steel shoal]

It's all good, I was just wondering why no peeper update in #subnautica-chat. Guess this was why.

[stone orbit]

i set up the bulkheads and now my peeper roommate isnt going anywhere

[eternal garnet]

too slow

[icy lily]

I hacked comms tower, went to margurits greenhouse,cured the frozen leviathan and made al-ans body what next

[fervent bloom]

Have you transferred ||AL-AN into their body||?

[icy lily]

Yes

I don't get what to do next

[fervent bloom]

There's a signal that ||AL-AN|| will give you. Join them there when you're ready to finish the game - you can, however, go back and continue if you'd like.

[regal hinge]

am I the only one who found the snow fox underwhelming?

I mean, the thing is great, but the environment doesn't really let you enjoy it

[fast tangle]

True. I think Arctic Spires is best place for snowfox, considering how how vast and plane it was. Perfect for the vehicle. But then again ||Ice Worm|| exist and his atk bug or glitch.

If that wouldn't be in game (the bug) then it will be great vehicle for the place.

[heady cipher]

I'm trying to release a penguin and such a bug happens, what should I do?

[broken badge]

Does it not show up? Perhaps it’s related to one of the mods you’re using (that’s all I can think of, usually when there’s a weird bug it’s due to an installed mod)

[shrewd ether]

i just discovered the baby snow stalkers (didnt see them the first two times i was in the caves). i desire one so badly 😭😭🙏. theyre so adorable

id die for a plushie of one

[fast tangle]

make a base there. then you will always see them.

[shrewd ether]

thats an amazing idea.. i need to figure out how to navigate the caves better first.

i wish you could steal them like you can with the penglings, lol

are you able to build above water? will the weather damage your base?

[fast tangle]

you can build above water. no damage from weather here, as far as i know.

[bold crown]

guys should i finish my below zero playthrough after 2 months

[shrewd ether]

Ohh amazing.. i will for sure take that into account..

the mama snow stalkers sure do scare me - Im only at 14hr in my below zero world so i am NOT very protected

[shrewd ether]

if u feel like it! for sure

[bold crown]

i got bored of the game after spending 3 hours finding the pengling lab stuff

[broken badge]

The only thing is, you don’t want to put a water filtration machine above water. You can in theory, but it works extremely slowly

[bold crown]

and then i had to use a youtube video to find it

[shrewd ether]

(im a very slow player & i dont really play for the story)

[shrewd ether]

i mean, not much water to filter up there

[broken badge]

Tip for managing the snow stalkers ||they’re scared of flares||

[shrewd ether]

im trying to figure out better ways to get energy for my deeper sea base, it runs out of power for roughly two minutes every day
