I would guess they don’t respawn.
You can swap things around in your hotbar pretty easily if you need to
im on xbox so im not really sure how to without going into my inventory and doing it manually
You’ll need the inventory open, but when you hover over something that can be swapped into the hotbar, there’s a tooltip that is listed (I forget which button it is atm)
its Y i think !
Ive got my lazercutter (newly made today ! woooo), scanner, knife, repair gun, & habitat creator
Nice
Is it necessary to look for all the architects' artifacts? or not?
its not that necessary.
actually, it depends. if you don't want to miss anything this game has to offer, I would suggest scanning at least 10 of them.
Most of the content in BZ is optional other than ||AL-AN's|| storyline.
wish i got money for below zero lmao
better look for sale, when happen
i am
ohkay, when you find one tell me too. i got someone to buy this game n get him play. lol
And if you have the first game also from steam, you can buy the bundle for exta 5% discount
I am looking for bundle.
but then not now. I guess, i will when SN2 rolls out. the 3 in 1 buddle would be good.
well, just asking. i was never been a part of Early Access. So when we buy EA, so we got to buy it again full release. or done
i dont think u need to buy it again after early access ends
that leg was accident. my mouse did it.
i appreciate ur leg emoji
how i remove it
got it how to. my mouse sometimes right click, even i left click it. damn
make me do some happy accidents.
sounds like u could use a new mouse lol
not that bad thou. its just starting to get worse, but still it got like 2 month most. at least i should use it untill it die.
or until it drives u insane
i m fond of it. its normal
i have destroyed so many mouse that i can count
huh, its just happen. playing games and working. most by working.
i guess its bound to happen sooner or later
i do 3d, where mouse go click clak click click. and maxed might go for 3 month without any problem then its starts to get worse.
while i do 3d, i dont care. maybe that's why my mouses kept suffring.
yea there are a few possibilities
while playing games doesn't do much damage to my mouse.
maybe.
maybe try buying a mouse thats more expensive as an experiment to see if it lasts longer
lol yea we are off topic
hey well you free wanna read something?
i did something stupid.
If only we had a very nice channel for off-topic discussions 👀
Make one then 😄
:p
is thermos to storage water on?
No. It's used to give some heat if you need it.
Oh boy. Here I go again. Back to this game.
Remember that it is not an immersive survival sim, and therefore you shouldn't expect to be one 
Yeah. Tbh knowing me ill focus on base building
I'd recommend giving land bases a try. Super fun
Maybe another time
Havnt played this game in over a year. Gotta get back into it first
Hope you have fun
Yeah. I'll probably keep in touch here incase I get lost (very likely)
Hehehe. Got my scanner tool. Time to scan everything because autism demands it
What's this artifact i found.
Like a big green pentagonal box thing.
Mineral distillery I think its called idk
like on what i fill it
You can place it in the coffee machine 🙂
Only?
I think so yes.
and uh also where i find Prawn suit fragments i got everything expect it i even maxed sea truck to 1k metters and got all his rooms
||There's a mining site near the Delta island that has the fragments.||
all 4?
From what I remember it does, not 100% sure.
i got 2 of his fragments i need 2 more
Prawn suit fragment locations:
||koppa mining site, below delta island should have 4 fragments to scan (and drill arms to scan and jump jet upgrade), mercury 2 stern in lilypads/tree spires border has at least 2 fragments and drill arm fragments, outpost zero in north has 1 or maybe 2 fragments and phi excavation site far west in glacial basin has 1 fragment to scan||
Well, that became a wall of text😅
How do I get the large room?
Scan it in one of the bases you can find
It isn't on delta island
I got a PDA from Margaret in her green house regarding Sams location or something similar, but after picking it up I dont see anything?
help 
as far as i know, you are not meant get any location or something.
to progress further in story about Sam, go to ||Phi Robotics||.
been there, just restored the bridge
but i need the snowfox now
how do I get fur for the suit?
Use spy pengling bot, keep out of sight and let the bot go grab fur from the stalkers (easiest in caves)
Sometimes you can also just find fur pieces in caves you can walk up and grab
Don’t kill the snow stalkers as they don’t drop fur when you kill them, use the bot instead and if snow stalkers act to attack you hold a flare, they’re afraid of them
Collect from cave floors or use a small robot
yes but i am gonna freeze during that, am I not?
In caves you shouldn’t freeze
i also killed one by accident now 
There also should be those fevered peppers around you can eat to keep warm
Or build a corridor and hatch to stay warm and safe from snow stalkers (no power needed to get warm base)
Later you’ll find some stuff that’ll protect you from the cold better
As you explore more
Ice Worms will always be the scariest mob in the game for me
The fact that they're the rarest to find and the way they move and interact with the environment make them the perfect suit for being my favorite scary monster
I remember my first time meeting an Ice Worm being getting chased by a Snow Stalker and suddenly an Ice Worm appears and eats the Snow Stalker...
So the ice worm actually help you out. Be thankful!
so you love it or fear it.
i got that already
but i dont seem to find any fox fur on the ground, but i wound the spicy ground worms
Then you can use the pengling bot
Just before||phy robotics, is the ice river, follwo the ice river and there is a cave on the left and at the exit of the cave are snow stalkers. They do not enter the cave and the cave keeps you warm. You deploy your spy friend and collect the fur, while staying save and warm in the cave. ||
ok one question
why can i hear shadow leviathan in deep lily pads
in the cave 600m below ground where ||the alien cache|| is
why
just why
a shadow leviathan might have cliped in between his realm and deep lily pads. lol
god please not
i gotta scan for this guy
looking at the map, the two biomes are just on top of each other. So... maybe because of that??? I have never noted it.
apparently he's not
yeah but bro there's terrain between them
i should never be able to hear it
you can, its kinda like ||Reaper sound in the big cave at the gun island, while he is on the other side.||
excuse me??
that's just geniuelly not right to hear
also what on earth is this goofy ahh looking cave
i guess this the artifact place, with a cheli on top.
oh.. right yeah this is probably it
I think you are correct.
now looking at this, I see how clusterphobic the map of bz is.
what if, this had the cave opening for both cristle cave and deep lilipad. That would be cool.
which one is that i gotta go there again
The first time you approach, the PDA will say "Inactive volcano detected nearby."
yeah the first time
i've been there already
i just dont remember it
It's beneath the East Arctic, near the Purple Vents.
well, its kinda weird. i mean the inactive lava is right above the cristle cave. that doesn't make sense
No, it's unnecessary. There is an ||Architect artifact||, but there are more than 10 others.
what was this
Reason: Too many spoiler tags
uhh this is probably it
i think i've been there
i dont want to get eaten by cheli so screw this
The iceberg you were near at the time contains open, explorable space inside. ||There's an air-filled chamber at the top, accessible only with a laser cutter; I believe it holds an ion cube in addition to many other valuable resources.||
well, I am kinda opposite of this. I hate it because it doesn't make me scared.
but if alan said this then i suppose i've been there and there's no point to go back there?
you know i'm kinda curious what was there since i dont remember it
I love horror, so I really appreciate horror, it makes me love it 
||AL-AN|| didn't say that; your PDA did.
ok screw it
i'm going there
i meant that ||alan|| said something after my pda said it
There are actually two hollow icebergs, one in each section of the Arctic.
That's probably a coincidence...
i might just get eaten by cheli and that's it
i'm going there
yeah, i can understand ya. but that guy is annoying to me.
Just to be clear, the inactive volcano and the iceberg are unrelated.
oh i remember this place
imagine if the ||Ice worm could come into the water. he will be more terrified then.||
i've waited there for the cheli to go away for two days in my sea truck when i was there for the first time
in game 2 days or irl.
in game lol
@eternal garnet ok what is geniuelly wrong with this game lmao
this is the first thing i see when i got to my main base
when i first time heard "inactive volcano detected nearby". I was like "ohh, I am so ready, its gonna be so fun". considering it as ||start of lr in subnautica|| but ended before it even started. lol
Alterra Corporation is not liable for any malfunctions of the Seatruck dock.
oh it's that bug
it has happend to me before
i cant enter the sea truck now
.
god...
i've taken off the upgrades and i suppose i'll just wait for it to explode then spawn a new one
yeah i just cant get it going even with warpforward command
wait
i'm scrolling the old messages
and it's the dock not the truck
ok so depth upgrade off
and we'll let the sea truck destroy by itself
you and your problems.
cool
now scan it to get some titanium. lol
good lord
less than 5 fps in the dock animation
hello sir
you do like walls dont you
should i release some
Just a friendly reminder: spoiler tags are much appreciated!
Perhaps, though they will not excavate resources.
Hello Tigrinum.
i suppose everyone has seen it even before launching the game
steam cards are shown on the steam game tab
but i can use spoiler tags on this guy if you want
Hello, to you as well.
ill just delete it ig
As it says, it is up to your own discretion but is always appreciated.
ye ok i get it
i sometimes put a spoiler on it and sometimes forget
as i've said
i've seen this guy before even launching the game for the first time
it's kinda stupid to show literally all creatures on steam cards
they should put a spoiler tag on them for sure
Well it does attract customers
Magnetite where 😭
The best place to find it is Spy Pengling sites and ore veins in the Glacial Basin.
Bro in 3 hours in whats a spy pengling
It's a small robot that can be controlled by the player. Have you transferred ||AL-AN into Robin's brain||?
Yeah did that ages ago. Just getting my base set up ^^
In that case, you can pin a recipe with magnetite, and a sea monkey will bring it to you if you spend time near them.
Each gift is either random or something you ask for, with approximately a 50% chance of each. Quartz fits under both categories.
Just a comment here that not all players have the game on steam (and thus there are people who have not seen a single steam card)
yeah ik
but i unfortunately did
Some other platforms have game cards, which show the ||shadow leviathan|| in at least one instance.
Sure, and ps version shows it on the loading screen😅
The same goes for my version, though the combination of the Twisty Bridges, the ||shadow leviathan||, and the ||Crystal Caves|| is somewhat incongruous.
I was visiting the ||Arctic Spires||, and a snow stalker killed me, not the ice worm.
how scary is below zero 1-10
it's similar to subnautica
ngl sb1 is much more scarier than bz
dont have to time to argue tho so ill just leave it here
It's between 1 and 10, and very subjective...
ahh okok thanks

I noticed that BZ is more pretty than scary, and I like that. Creatures aren't scary, they are amazing.
is it possible that my third fragment for snowfox didnt spawn?
or scan room cant scan dry land?
like there is nothing to phy robotics
There are so many dozens of them, just keep looking
They're not in the Phi Robotics area, they're a bit south
i am at the docks atm
go back to phi landing pad, then south
True but it doesn’t have the same feel as SN… which is completely fine because it’s considered a standalone and also allows for another perspective
Tbh its good to have alternatives. Want some fear? Sb1. Want to relax? Bz.
been saving for around 10 minutes now.. any suggestions?
Wait.
Scary bug, don't give up waiting
still saving rn 🫠
Another savegame question:
I tried to save my game and got reddish "out of memory, want to try again?" popup. Clicked yes and then game crashed. The popup was in ingame colors.
I was running another soft that takes half my ram+cores at the time, and gave up trying to play. But today I see the game actually saved in the spot where it crashed. Is that save 'safe' to use? I have autosave 10 mins before that happened.
If your autosave will be overwritten, I would suggest you copy it and try to open your current one. It really depends on what could have been corrupted. The entities in the world, the progression, the vehicles / bases.
the save loaded and local inventory looks fine, but I have no way of telling im my biiiig base is intact
If you are on PC you can check if you see any error in the log file.
what could have caused the issue in the first place? I'm at 21/32G memory used, should be plenty to run subzero (still using that biig software)
is the log wiped on game start?
It keeps two sessions. Player.log for the latest, and Player-prev.log for the previous one.
shell:localappdatalow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero
It might say where the memory was used as well.

Do you want whole thing here? 147kb
Sure.
Note: mods in use, but never gave me trouble
Oh, game says I need to replace used fuel rods Equipment.RestoreEquipment() warning - item DepletedReactorRod is no longer compatible with slot NuclearReactor4, but still added to prevent data loss. 😂
This is harmless. You had the issue when the game tried to save your base. Do you have big bases everywhere?
ONE big base
How big?
No idea, big. Used 90% of maps total titanium for corridors and vert tubes.
it just ran out of memory?
Considering the error is in protobuf, related to saving your base I think you would better use your autosave just in case.
Yeah, will do.
It is not advisable to try to run the game while half of my ram is still occupied in that case?
Do you have space on your disks? Can you tell me the size of your global-objects.bin?
never fill your windows drive, by the way
Oh. That may be broken. like 100% broken.
Current save (tried saving once game loaded and it worked)
autosave
138MB does not seem sane
I broke the game 😂 ?
I have a wide/tall base going from ventgarden down to 6000m deep. Might be the cause.
My disk space looks fine I think. Game's on D:
would have 50gigs free, if I could somehow delete pending win update that downloaded by itself.
yes: install it 😛
Not happening.
The out of memory is related to your big base indeed. Also the fact that the game doesn't optimize the grid.
For instance, if you build compartments on the same grid / base, and you get rid of them except one, the game will still save the whole grid.
ooh, my grid is like huge, because its line of compartments going to the side and down.
(I should make a photoshoot)
The problem is that even if you remove all your buildings and leave one, the save will keep that size.
That's what I meant.
ouchie
Hopefully they'll improve that in SN2.
does the space get reused if you build new comparments in space of deleted ones?
That problem will most likely not exist in SN2 because unreal.
The engine doesn't have anything to do with how they save things.
Yes. I'll give you the illustration. It was made in SN1 but you'll understand the idea. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/726461756708487298/1136624194671620166/base_grid.png
I am sure Tomtores understands perfectly now!
First one is the first compartment built. Then I add other compartments, I remove all but the first one, the size is still the same.
someone should implement GC
for unreal, I assume it will be just an array of buildable serialized to disk, so engine should take care of that
Again the engine doesn't really have anything to do with your implementation.
uh, is that built as largest square/cube that fits all the base pieces??
The grid extends to where you can place another building usually. So yes it's a big cube.
with. space.between.filled.with.zeros.?
Then the game saves what you have in the cells. What kind of face (ladder, hatch, etc), cell (a room, a corridor, etc).
Unused cells have null bytes yes.
Please allow me for a minute to scream after realizing the implications.
Does the game has soft or physical limit for the dimensions of the base? Will 8000 ingame meters tall work?
No limit. At some point you'll lag too much.
define 'lag'. the game freezes for like 5 secs every time I build compartment on that base.
That's what I meant.
Oh, thats perfectly acceptable.
Is the takeway of this system that adding a single compartment to the side of the base allocates a whole vertical 'slice' to the grid, in this case, 6 kilometers tall?
It increases the grid, but not 6 kilometers tall. It's just the time for rebuilding the cells.
Need clarification on the comment. Is that you pasted hex dump, nobody is gonna understand that or nice, that handy picture illustrates it perfectly?
Got confused, because dev.
But doesn't making a base twice wider make the grid (cube) twice the size?
Adding a compartment you mean? No, as some cells are adjacent.
adding a compartment that makes thing wider.
[0 0 1 0]
[1 1 1 1]
[0 0 1 0]
[0 0 1 0]
Assume base above has 3000 layers.
If I add compartment to the side, that adds a column in each of the 3000 layers, yes? So not one "byte unit", not 4x "byte units" (full column), but whole 4x3000 "byte units" (column height times layers)
[0 0 1 0 0]
[1 1 1 1 1]
[0 0 1 0 0]
[0 0 1 0 0]
That sounds like, uh, a big memory problem.
12 KB exactly
No..
yes?
1 KB is actually 1024 bytes
oh yeah
The reason for that is so its a power of 2
actually no... but we ignore that
But im straying off topic 
wait no. yeah
I prefer 1024 to prove im superior to people who believe its 1000
that just means you don't embrace base 10
it's ISO making k mean 1000 again. Sane, I guess
Kilo means a thousand
exactly
Wait moving to offtopic
or just end it now
where the hell is kyanite i think i found the dead zone but i cant find kyanite
Not there…
||Crystal caves|| is where you will find it.
Something to look forward to with my void base…. 😂
i cant get there
You will eventually
where is a biome where i can acces it with 650 m
are you building down to 8k too?
You can go down to the ||crystal caves|| with 650m
It starts at like 500ish meters I'm pretty sure
You can.
this is terrifying
Bestest fren <3
oogabooga
Maybe spoil that too?
oh yea
so i am around halway through the game, and I was wondering if there is any mod that I could install now that would be good / helpful?
youtube
almost none is using mods i think
thank you for this relevant reply, i appericate that!
no problem! always.
Find ||Maida’s underwater base||, and Seaglide down from there. You can collect a bit then get back to a parked vehicle. Always park about 10m above crush depth.
Not at present. Right now I was just wanting to get under the map. But I just found out after scouting ahead that I built my vertical tube in the wrong place, and getting to a convenient spot was going to take some horizontal stretches and bends. Going to start over. LoL
10m above crush depth? I just set 1m above and hope
Something swimming by can bump the vehicle. I’ve come back to missing vehicles before…. 😱
ive never had that happen before
I will continue my risky behavior and likely regret it at some point


its endgame for me
i have duo torpedos
1 with vortex one with gas
seatruck depth crush is still 650 bc couldent get 1 more nickel ore
but u only need a prawn really
Yes, it's a headlamp.
you unlock it after making a wiring kit iirc in the first game
in BZ you need to find it in a databox in ||twisty bridges||
Is there any info about the new game?
There is yes.
that's awesome actually
Waiting on a new Discord channel here for conversations to take place.
wiki ftw
Sea monkeys can bring you nickel ore, or at least some can.
Also, why do you have torpedoes?
I’ve never made one in BZ. Only made a few in SN, they weren’t worth the trouble.
Think about it this way
Every single (pair of) torpedos you craft consumes enough titanium for a whole chair
:(
If I didn't mind hurting the fauna and had the sea monkeys, it might be worth it.
Wish you could place chairs outside. I was disappointed when I once tried to build a patio in the garden.
Chairs are always a good thing. I don't like torpedoes, regardless.
I agree
You could probably accomplish that with the propulsion cannon, as long as you don't mind the inability to sit in them.
I meant that I get more value out of the decor of a chair than the torpedos, I think we're on the same side here.
I don't think you can pick up buildables.
Sad
A pile of chairs would be hilarious.
Getting some out through the vents would be a pain though
I know you can move benches desks.
I wanna steal a forklift and put it in my base someday
forklift certified base?
Yeah I thought you meant ones you make with the habitat builder.
indeed
amazing
do it
now
Forklift would be a cool addition for a vehicle.
Of course, yes.
What locations are you considering?
im kind of thinking right above the entrance to the ||deep purple vents||, or maybe a base ontop of one of the ||lilipads||
You can do it with built benches?
Perhaps, though I meant to say desks.
ah ok
I would recommend against building on top of a ||lilypad||, as it's much less interesting than building on the islands or the seabed below.
another area im considering is maybe making a base ontop of one of the large floating pieces of ice around the map
and then having a small underwater section for the moonpool and stuff
If you like this sort of thing, a base that also serves as a chelicerate observatory above the ||Deep Purple Vents|| could be a great idea. An Arctic iceberg is always a good location, as well.
im thinking that might be one of my best options
I would enjoy seeing your results.
im probably gonna have to do some exploring first though
still haven't gotten the parts for thermal, know where they are just haven't gone there yet
I have been holding my gravball with prawn grav cannon when I saved. Gravball gone after loading. Did it disappear, or just fell who knows where? (was on the land)
Below Zero feels like once you make it to the ||research bases|| youre already half way done
and once you ||find the bones and reconstruct the alien|| you basically have accomplished the game
Yes, the second one is when you've finished the game for the most part.
potentially stupid question - does gravball have hp? can you repair it?
I think if you prawn drill it you can
It should launch this year, no?
you can prawn drill and repair a lot of outside base stuff
no
No, likely not.
😦
new method for reaching glitched items obtained: Prawn fishing
lol
I’ve never tried to repair it, interesting idea. I have definitely had a few explode on me, usually near lava vents.
What's the name of the ship next to Delta Island?
I regularly use the grav ball to get items sunk into the terrain.
Mercury II
that's the Stern part
It’s the whole ship…. lol
pretty sure AI told me that's the name of the ship above where ||Mada's base is||
no... there are 3 parts
Yes, three parts of the same ship.
indeed. Next to delta is the stern
oh, poor Mercury II
As I'm playing, I'm kind of hoping SN2 has less plants that are scannable but not salvageable
I felt these aesthetic plants were too many in BZ
I hope that everything is both scannable and plantable.
I think we can't harvest them due to development time/resources
But it would be nice.
For BZ, I believe that was the case.
a lot of the issues with BZ usually end with because it was rushed
But the game is still very good, and under the circumstances, they did really well.
i mean there was only 3 years from when we knew about the game to when it was released
yes, i just think some stuff could have been better implemented
and im hoping they give the proper time and resources for SN2
Having to rewrite a story is not an easy task, but if they had a clear vision from the start, the game would be perfect
Anyone have a photo of a multipurpose room with alien containment and glass ceiling? (From outside looking down) I wanna know what it would look like
yeah, they did switch up the storyline halfway through because the writer left didn't they?
I didn't know BZ was in development hell. haven't finished the story yet but will see what the original story was after I finish
in early access im pretty sure you started on 4546B as a researcher type person
in full release, you crash land
You used to work for evil Alterra
Was I robin?
Yes
cool
Misunderstood Alterra…
the character was always robin, but I think they switched sam and robin between early access and full release
no spoilers plz 
Currently Alterra is misunderstood, but before it was evil
I think there are a number of things that make SN better than BZ, and for me it isn't much of the story
Actually, I forgot
Where can I get the alien containment in Bz? :'D
Ahh right. That is my next stop. Just made my base in the lillies :D
the ||lily pads|| are a nice place for bases imo, lots of vegitation that makes it look good
I think I listed the things I enjoyed more in BZ
At first I thought the dialogue was awful, but I found that the PDAs that didn't have images of the characters were much better than the main crew/cast. I think it's the voice acting and how little they contributed to the atmosphere of the game. They were too cartoonish/silly/superfluous
This + OST
I also did not like how I was forced to search for everything. Some enjoyed that, but I thought SN's more streamlined process made everything more enjoyable
any spoilers?
Do you have a Jukebox?
I never built one
You should before opening my spoiler tag
ok
I found some depleted nuclear rods. are they good for anything other than disposing?
No
But they can only be disposed in the right container, not trash can
nuclear disposal bin uses lead 💔
I think they're supposed to guide to the nuclear trash can
I just installed the jukebox, and the first track is 🔥
I thought it was just the music we already hear in the game
it enables the end of the game
You get a warning and choice before the actual end starts
spoilers. Your save is never deleted
if its the same as the last game, save before you start the end scene
I just installed a cell charger and a jukebox and my power consumption soared. There's nothing in the cell charger, does it still consume power?
and then you can return to just before you ended the game
So, it's not possible to softlock yourself in endgame
no progress lost
bro the end was so cool
sadly i have not completed the game yet
i hope to this save file though
Place it on the floor, click R2, look at Robin
selfie time!!!!
Hit the selfie mode
i think you have to look behind the pengling?
i forgor how to do selfies again lol
ah ok
lol
It's too cold.
I don't wanna lie down on the snow, doesn't sound fun.
Actually it kinda does but that's not the point.
Y'all where tf is the radio tower hq? I've been looking for it for an hour and I can't find it lol
I always get to this point in the game and give up because I can never find it
you mean ||delta station||?
yes
its central
Where is it in relation to the drop pod lol

you just have to swim far and you'll find it eventually
it's on the island with Delta station dock. This is south of your pod
😭
Opposite direction of the volcano
usually just quartz or magnetite. There's one elsewhere with a story item tho
hidden feature: enable cam (right click) and point at robin
got the map from phi?
red mark on it, in pda
It's difficult to find a way there. Theres a high one, and one in the water tunnel
yes. Hold a flare to scare it
I didn't know you could get them by killing
you use the spy pengling to get the fur
but, you can use ||the pengling to safely get fur||
no other way to
you cannot get fur by killing
you cant, sorry if that was misunderstood
you should, tbh, but I guess the devs didn't want to reward the player for killing stuff
they never intend for you to kill anything more then just like... peepers n stuff
Did Mercury 2 land before the time of Aurora?
This wouldn't happen to be ||Delta Station|| would it..? 😭
thats why animals dont drop 'loot' when killed, and why you have limited weaponary
you murder peepers??!?
This game's got me LOST
no this is the dock near Phi
thats by ||PHI robotics|| if I recall, your a bit too far west I think
I wen't straight south :/
Walk west a tiny bit to get a free beacon
yes, but first get the beacon triggered. for later
East, south a little too
try
did you get some?
all you ever need is 4
is snow stalker fur really only used for coldsuit?
if so I feel like thats just a missed opportunity
yes
might as well let us make rugs or something out of the material
base floors are kinda plain anyway
I... don't think so, but checking
there.. is not seems like
no
just cool decoration
a land vehicle does though
ive.... never had a reason to craft the snowfox to be honest
seems like a cool vehicle, I just dont see very many situations where it becomes useful
It looks stylish as Hel
It's much more fun than driving the prawn
cant you carry it?
hm
maybe I'll make it in my current playthrough
not sure though
Love the Snowfox, my favorite vehicle. Very good in open areas, and very fast
SWARM upgrade is almost obligatory most of the times, but jump is also really fun
i had to edit that message like 4 times-
The more the merrier 💖
The AI tells me about an anomalous rock above Mercury 2 (near the lilly pads), but I didn't find anything worht exploring. Is there?
also what happens if you drive the snowfox into the water?
I know it cant drive on it, but does it destroy itself, shut down, like what exactly happens?
Yes
It floats, but drives very slowly
ah alright
I kinda thought it was you crashed and it was dead or something for some reason
Don't worry about accidentally falling, it takes no damage and you can pick it up
is it the two small rocks connected by a vine? I found a gel sac and a stone with gold in it
||Omega Lab is below it||
No, I think it's the huge one
It's pretty good
it does not cover north of the bridge, but it's correct, and undetailed
the way I remember it is that there is an ||alien cable thing|| that got severed nearby the entrance
Finally made it, navigation in this game is so hard 😭
so much
interestingly enough, the lilly padder throws off your radar. you might be swimming for the sea truck, but that's not the real location
yes
depth lies too
you fix it. Scan the broken can on it
Purpose here is to make you go there later, not now
right by the console
oh. sorry. I responded to alterra bridge
I don't remember ever needing to jump in the game
you could, with a jump upgrade to the bike. Or just walk
for SN2 I hope they don't bring back whoever designed the map for this game
dear god it feels like it becomes counterinuitive and labyrnthine at the worst of times
You are seeing the remake of glacial basin. The first was way worse
But I agree. Intentionally difficult to go north/south
I'm talking in general tbh. I know the Omega station is under the lilly pads and yet I'm still going in circles
the glacial basin/land areas are unfun, too, until you find something new
didn't find it?
yes. I found it rather easily my last playthrough but not now
good thing I thought ahead and brought a beacon to put there
story penguin hole? only one that felt necessary to find was the one that had the a||ntidote||
that's the one
it sounds important., but it's a minor story thing
a little bedroom? Nice
I foun it before I even heard about it in-game lol
nearby, unmissable, a thing
Find a missable PDA, glowing in the blue rubble next to a buried forklift
That sounds appropriate
yes
pic of the pengling cave you search
A lake is nearby, behind photographer
in the entrance
it's very glowy
I got a pic for it
go toward outside 5m
its called Security recording
I mention it because missable+important
No text
oh maybe a transcript
not that one
is that titled Security recording?
If I wasn't worried about getting banned I would curse and shout use caps. Where is the damn omega lab?
inside the huge rock that rises above the rest, and above deep lilypads
inside? I thought it was below in the caverns
just assume weather always dangerous
it has sam and parvan. Title?
the right one has a curvy ledge inside
no
I mentioned the PDA because missable+important. In it, voice from parvan, sam and an... event
Did you really find the story pengling cave?
The pda is under the Sam heading
but it is
I can confirm that they are one and the same.
no
can't antenna fruit be planted?
yes, knife the plant
or no, knife the plant instead
shoulda knifed
Sadly they didn’t implement a way for the robot to turn off the Pengling beacons so you could know which ones you already visited.
Lol
You could put your Discord tag, if you wanna be a bit safer 
Time capsules aren’t cross platform no.
Yeah, it’s only for your platform.
Are new time capsules even being added?
Sometimes, I think
dammit some mesmer like thing attacked me in the ||deep lillypads cave|| and it flipped all my beacons around, making me drown-
at least I got 3 magnetite out of it though
Personal information like phone number could result in rejection of the capsule🤷🏻♂️
so no social security number in the time capsule?
what a shame
im sure its fine
Good luck! Did you already repair the bridge?
You mean the bridge? You want to cross it, no?
Something important for AlAn
All the way to the north, until you reach the end
Follow the ||architect cables||
@tawdry frost are you still looking for the antidote
I think he is already in arctic spires
Just ignore it. And make sure to bring lots of health kits 🙂
Maybe backup and go better equipped
If you don't have any you can eat to slowly regenerate your health.
what idk food can regenerate health
@bold monolith oh it worked!
If your food and water are full (or above certain limit), you will regenerate health slowly
It isn't the food, you need to be above a threshold food + water.
But in addition to that, shrub nuts give some health when eaten
wait till it goes udnder the ice and just go straight on, in my expierience you wont get hit
The maroon flower too gives health.
I don't know if it's its PDA name.
I don't remember.
Wrong server oops
I just died
@slate valley is there ||architect organs in glacial basin?||
Dont tell a thing where to find it
just say yes or no :)
No.
great! i just wasted so much time at this place
You already found one part there.
yes
Did you find the two ||pets there too?||
what pet
i am currently exploring the portal
Whoaho so lucky i brought the tool
no its deep
|| somewhere near some crystals if you will ||
I think it's antennae fruit in-game
have you find the pengling location in the glacier map?
what pet??
||blue trivalve eggs||
i dont think its theres any. ||I mean at Artic Spires||
I am sure there are 🙂. Why do you question that fact?
Just wanted to know if there s any. That's all
I told you that, that was the intention of my message. And there are two more ||hidden in an ice berg|| just if you like more pets. But not needed of course.
I thought it's just at "hollow chamber" Something by pda
No, that is some treasures in the east arctic. Nice to find and fun to go but no pets there.
Hmm, guess I will check that out.
Sometime in future
Sure, no hurry and something to do after.
It'd be funny if BZ's anti-piracy method was spawning you straight into the dead zone all the time
yea....
How do I do spoilers?
Use /spoiler, ||spoiler||, or highlight your text and click on the eye icon.
how does ||alan know how to speak english||
He uses the protagonist head.
In the first game, there's a translator that has many many languages, including Earth languages
I think ||the precursor race already do know about human kind and have intensive knowledge about it. which is most likely as we saw Ancient Blade and yin and yang in PCF in Subnautica already.||
nah. game lore stuff outright emperors are just animals native to 4546b
It communicates through telepathy, so it can make your brain understand its intentions
As for the aliens, they literally have a translator with English in it.
when one of the first things you hear in bz is "welcome to 4546b", it probably means you are there
alterra pdas translated precursors stuff in sn 1
yup it did
that means aliens do know about English. or not?
They do know it
You mentioned the blade but not the translator in the same facility...
it means that even if they didn't know it, they would decipher it fairly easily. bz dude had plenty of time to learn it
i thought, its our PDA, that's all. our PDA can do magic like. lol
Okay, sorry, you all seem to be misunderstanding my point, give me a moment
but yeah when it able to translate half english half alien. i was little surprised thow
The aliens can speak our languages
i gotta ya
1000, huh, so if ||Al-An|| got to speak any of these languages anytime he can speak it fluently at any movement. That kinda insane.
Good to be an Alien then.
you are already (cos you r from earth, not 4546b), but you are a lamer kind of alien
yup as compared to precursors.
but no mater how lamer we are, ||Ryley is one who able to cure the Bacterium, then the precursor alien kind was trying to do for so long.||
||i believe precursors' original form looked like old concept art - smoll and cute. and later they decided to become overpowered cyborg people ||
No. Riley was able to craft the enzyme to hatch the babies. Babies had the cure already.
forget to add "able to" in my sentence
||they were kind of meanies with egos way too big for someone who has a hivemind-like network. they just made mistakes that they could have avoided. and ryley is just too cool ||
||Ryley kept going, meditating, and had his mind calm, even when crashfish were crashing, warper were warping, reaper were ripping him apart, ghost were ghosting him. He always stayed calm and this allowed him to connect with the Sea emperor. lol ||
Maybe this is only way. lol
To be fair, Aliens did 99.9% of the job, only didn't finish it because they died
Visit the different facilities marked on your map
Hi i need help getting out of the purple caves i’m completely and utterly lost
I keep getting mauled by the shadow leviathan
Go West
How do i avoid the leviathan tho
The Cave is shaped like an L, kinda
Stop piloting, and it won't attack you (only works if you have at least 1 module)
Thank you
also the perimeter defense can immediately stop an attack. You must select it and fire it though
Can the trivalve or any other creature take damage from falling?
Yeah but i like having backups haha
where can i find this?
Spiral plants are found in the ||Deep Purple Vents|| and in the interior of a ||mature Ventgarden||.
is it possible to build a base above water or not cuz of the weather
Definitely. The hatch grows stairs too
Try the forward button.
Anyone in dev mode that can tell me my id rq
i went to it lol but it was underground
and i couldnt figure out where to go from there
will weather not affect it?
no
Follow the pillars.
alright
ah ok thanks
You won't find the spiral plant there. You have to go in the biomes above. If you want directions try to explore behind the island.
Behind when you come from the lifepod, not behind when you're near the Delta signal.
i think my games glitched tho
theres two beacons in this exact same spot
That's intentional, to ensure you find it.
this is a bug. just turn both off
kk
I wouldn't call it a bug.
I would, so there
idk maybe i missed something
They are identical. There's no reason to have 2
Sure but it's intentional.
game: "have you gone here? Sanctuary. - Oh. Alright.. But have you gone here, Sanctuary?"
Just like in SN1 two PDAs unlock the Jellyshroom base signal.
is it the same one signal? Then that's great. This is not. But hey, very minor bug
They are two different signals. It's by design.
If you find any artifact before Al-an it will give us the becon. Right? And what's rhw second one.
yea exact same signal
Same coords, same title. Same signal
^
they do on screen
it's a bug. Closing ticket
k
oh ok so the twisty bridges?
no. Directly south of the delta beacon, is a thing
Twisty Briges would be in front of the island when you are near your lifepod.
alright ill check it out
usually we just spill where it is, but hey. Explore! You will find a very large... thing
not very close, not far
Do i construct ||part of alan’s body when i can? Does that progress the story?||
Also ||i forgot what marguerite was asking for for us to get the blue tablet||
You don't get the tablet, it's Preston's
No. Better wait for 3 parts
you also can't craft that at home
Pity you couldn’t craft a spare ||alien body|| to have follow you around. Or better yet transfer yourself into…
Oh
Wait then what do i do now??
the reward was not a tablet. Not since 2022
Marguerite might have told you to disable the tower.
I haven’t played in a while xd
True but I’m already so far lol
The satellite is down is the indication right
it'll be in test mode if disabled
Yeah
And once you do that, she invites you to her greenhouse, way out east
I went there
If you did this, you have a salad recipe and some Sam story PDAs
the salad is OP. Make it, if not freedom
Im sad to say this, then you are done with Marguerite.
Aw
its the ||huge wreck ||right?
no
oh
its center of tree spires
How have I found kyanite before magnetite
To progress further, I suggest go to ||phi robotics||
that's | not l
unrelated
alright just making sure
But you should visit it eventually
Am i evil if i put a pengling into the bioreactor
Nah he’s my buddy i named him kevin
lets go
Hello
umm how do i get down there
on one side, green pillars and you can go deeper
oh ok i found it
Guys i found phi robotics

Time to find magnetite so i can stop using my prawn suit on land


worm
its finally time to build my base
uh oh my seatruck is at 3%
this is uh
problematic
rockgrub.
NO
My fabrication module stopped working
I cant craft another power cell
of course I'd be disturbed trying to make my base
Awee, red sharkie!!
can i find ||magnetite|| down here?
yes
Both blend in very well with the terrain
mag usually shines white
Where do i get snow fox parts?
in the snow all over glacial basin
The beginning of outpost purple
Thx
it stops hiding when inventory is full
Not really
lol
it spawns in very few areas
your best option for finding it is the ||deep lillypads cave thingy||
Or pin a suitable recipe and visit monkeys...
why is there a fragment in the ground lol
That happened to me with stalker teeth in normal subnautica
Fragment is on the ground, player goes far enough away, ground despawns, fragment sinks.
This doesn't always happen, though. Why is that?
i love the|| sea monkeys so much😭 ||
I found a Spy Pengling site that I've never been to before...
@static stag did you get hacked?
idc about the rules
This is not the place to say that, is it?
Expression of faith is completely fine but in the right areas/chat only.
Wait, where are all the Arctic Peepers??
I am experimenting with them to create arctic oculus
andy, wanna mute articobum for a few days?
idc about a mute
fine. i'll do it
ok now you can mute me for a year
Oh my, quite sciency
The actual term is "science-tastic".
I love that term
What's the percent chance that a snow stalker will not perform the instant-death attack?
really low. But it has a cooldown
When you are out of range, they use the claw attack
I got it twice in a row, though...
Aren't they all claw attacks?
it just looks a little different if you actually die
The non-grab attack can be triggered by standing on a ledge or being out of range, I think
So, the non-grab is when Robin falls over, and the grab attack is when it bites her head off, right?
No, the grab is when she falls over
Non-grab has no cutscene, they just jump and slash with their front claws
I might not be understanding this properly, but it seems that when you're at low health, you have a certain probability of avoiding the full damage and dying, only taking a little damage. I was wondering how likely it is for the second to occur.
I just think it's like this: if you die, it's a different animation
you don't die because it's a different animation
Ah, I see how this works. Thank you!
Does the trivalve take damage if it falls?
Isnt it that when you are low enough health to die in one hit, game playes the finishing move animation, otherwise, it is just normal damage animation?
that's what I mean yes
I believe they do 35 damage or so in general, but when you're at low health, they can do as little as six. In that case, you get a unique animation that's different from the one when they kill you.
this scared me so bad
Are you talking about the snow stalker animations?
Talking about Preston
Oh, right. That's a very well-done surprise.
yeah
You are meant to go here. Put a beacon maybe
You are prevented from entering the rest of ||her base|| until you do her a favor.
Do not miss a truck thing on the floor
got it
defense upgrade?
yes
perfect
oh and how do i get the ||horsepower upgrade||?
ive been tryna look in nests but i cant find anything
got to find in 3 lilypad monkey nests
yea im there rn
in the other crevices more east too
If you're talking about the perimeter defense upgrade, you already have it.
oh no no the other thing
perimeter defense is manual fire. It can cancel leviathan attacks if fired on attack. just a short burst
||test override module ||
yea it was like that in the original game i think too
Oh, yes. That's definitely more important.
test has a problematic ingredient
parallel?
yes. Clue to that in a tower PDA. Gone fishing, I think. Revealed: ||in the wrecks. At least 2 wrecks||
blueprints
You need to go to the Delta Island communications tower.
No, not yet. First, there's something waiting for you in the East Arctic...
ooooo
