yeah i saw that in their info log, but my hotbar is full

#

im not sure if they respawn so i dont want to kill them :(

broken badge
#

I would guess they don’t respawn.

#

You can swap things around in your hotbar pretty easily if you need to

shrewd ether
#

im on xbox so im not really sure how to without going into my inventory and doing it manually

broken badge
#

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)

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

fast tangle
#

while playing games doesn't do much damage to my mouse.

maybe ur pressing too hard

#

maybe ur mouse just needs a cleaning

maybe.

maybe try buying a mouse thats more expensive as an experiment to see if it lasts longer

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?

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?

broken badge
#

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

steel stream
tender wedge
#

yes but i am gonna freeze during that, am I not?

broken badge
#

In caves you shouldn’t freeze

tender wedge
#

i also killed one by accident now kekW

broken badge
#

There also should be those fevered peppers around you can eat to keep warm

steel stream
#

Or build a corridor and hatch to stay warm and safe from snow stalkers (no power needed to get warm base)

broken badge
#

Later you’ll find some stuff that’ll protect you from the cold better

#

As you explore more

half yew
#

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...

fervent bloom
# viral knot what was 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.||

you know i'm kinda curious what was there since i dont remember it

ok screw it
i'm going there

There are actually two hollow icebergs, one in each section of the Arctic.

i might just get eaten by cheli and that's it

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 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

oh it's that bug

it has happend to me before

i cant enter the sea truck now

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

i'm scrolling the old messages

and it's the dock not the truck

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.

bold monolith
#

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.

tacit thorn
#

the save loaded and local inventory looks fine, but I have no way of telling im my biiiig base is intact

bold monolith
#

If you are on PC you can check if you see any error in the log file.

tacit thorn
#

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)

tacit thorn
bold monolith
#

It keeps two sessions. Player.log for the latest, and Player-prev.log for the previous one.

#

shell:localappdatalow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero

tacit thorn
#

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. 😂

bold monolith
#

This is harmless. You had the issue when the game tried to save your base. Do you have big bases everywhere?

tacit thorn
#

ONE big base

bold monolith
#

How big?

tacit thorn
#

No idea, big. Used 90% of maps total titanium for corridors and vert tubes.
it just ran out of memory?

bold monolith
#

Considering the error is in protobuf, related to saving your base I think you would better use your autosave just in case.

tacit thorn
#

Yeah, will do.

#

It is not advisable to try to run the game while half of my ram is still occupied in that case?

bold monolith
#

Do you have space on your disks? Can you tell me the size of your global-objects.bin?

eternal garnet
#

never fill your windows drive, by the way

tacit thorn
tacit thorn
#

autosave

eternal garnet
#

138MB does not seem sane

tacit thorn
#

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:

eternal garnet
#

C is not ideal. Don't fill it evn more

#

Not related to BZ

tacit thorn
#

would have 50gigs free, if I could somehow delete pending win update that downloaded by itself.

eternal garnet
#

yes: install it 😛

tacit thorn
#

Not happening.

bold monolith
#

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.

tacit thorn
#

ooh, my grid is like huge, because its line of compartments going to the side and down.

#

(I should make a photoshoot)

bold monolith
#

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.

tacit thorn
#

ouchie

bold monolith
#

Hopefully they'll improve that in SN2.

tacit thorn
#

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.

bold monolith
#

The engine doesn't have anything to do with how they save things.

bold monolith
eternal garnet
#

I am sure Tomtores understands perfectly now!

bold monolith
#

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.

tacit thorn
#

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

bold monolith
#

Again the engine doesn't really have anything to do with your implementation.

tacit thorn
bold monolith
#

The grid extends to where you can place another building usually. So yes it's a big cube.

tacit thorn
#

with. space.between.filled.with.zeros.?

bold monolith
#

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.

tacit thorn
#

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?

bold monolith
#

No limit. At some point you'll lag too much.

tacit thorn
#

define 'lag'. the game freezes for like 5 secs every time I build compartment on that base.

bold monolith
#

That's what I meant.

tacit thorn
#

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?

bold monolith
#

It increases the grid, but not 6 kilometers tall. It's just the time for rebuilding the cells.

tacit thorn
eternal garnet
#

totally sarcasm

#

Coders will understand it. Not everyone is

tacit thorn
#

Got confused, because dev.

tacit thorn
bold monolith
#

Adding a compartment you mean? No, as some cells are adjacent.

tacit thorn
#

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.

Also, why do you have torpedoes?

chrome cedar

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

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

fervent bloom

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

But it would be nice.

For BZ, I believe that was the case.

the character was always robin, but I think they switched sam and robin between early access and full release

no spoilers plz robin_pray

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

tiny pike
#

Actually, I forgot
Where can I get the alien containment in Bz? :'D

regal hinge
#

in Mercury 2 above where ||Meida's base is||

#

||under the lilly pads||

tiny pike
#

Ahh right. That is my next stop. Just made my base in the lillies :D

limpid drum
#

the ||lily pads|| are a nice place for bases imo, lots of vegitation that makes it look good

steel shoal
#

I think I listed the things I enjoyed more in BZ

regal hinge
#

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

steel shoal
#

This + OST

regal hinge
#

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

#

Do you have a Jukebox?

regal hinge
#

I never built one

steel shoal
#

You should before opening my spoiler tag

regal hinge
#

ok

#

I found some depleted nuclear rods. are they good for anything other than disposing?

steel shoal
#

No

#

But they can only be disposed in the right container, not trash can

#

nuclear disposal bin uses lead 💔

regal hinge
#

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

eternal garnet
#

it enables the end of the game

#

You get a warning and choice before the actual end starts

#

spoilers. Your save is never deleted

limpid drum
#

if its the same as the last game, save before you start the end scene

eternal garnet
#

in endgame, you cannot save

#

yes

regal hinge
#

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?

limpid drum
#

and then you can return to just before you ended the game

eternal garnet
#

So, it's not possible to softlock yourself in endgame

limpid drum
#

no progress lost

shadow sigil
#

bro the end was so cool

limpid drum
#

sadly i have not completed the game yet
i hope to this save file though

steel shoal
#

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.

chrome apex
#

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

chrome apex
#

yes

limpid drum
#

its central

chrome apex
#

Where is it in relation to the drop pod lol

analog cliff
limpid drum
#

you just have to swim far and you'll find it eventually

eternal garnet
#

it's on the island with Delta station dock. This is south of your pod

chrome apex
#

😭

eternal garnet
#

Opposite direction of the volcano

tacit comet
#

which one?

#

There are several.

#

Resources and story spoilers, lol

eternal garnet
#

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

limpid drum
#

you dont kill the stalkers for fur....

#

at least if I remember correctly

regal hinge
#

I didn't know you could get them by killing

limpid drum
#

you use the spy pengling to get the fur

regal hinge
#

but, you can use ||the pengling to safely get fur||

limpid drum
#

no other way to

eternal garnet
#

you cannot get fur by killing

limpid drum
regal hinge
#

you should, tbh, but I guess the devs didn't want to reward the player for killing stuff

limpid drum
#

they never intend for you to kill anything more then just like... peepers n stuff

regal hinge
#

Did Mercury 2 land before the time of Aurora?

chrome apex
limpid drum
#

thats why animals dont drop 'loot' when killed, and why you have limited weaponary

eternal garnet
#

you murder peepers??!?

chrome apex
#

This game's got me LOST

eternal garnet
limpid drum
chrome apex
#

I wen't straight south :/

eternal garnet
#

Walk west a tiny bit to get a free beacon

limpid drum
#

go east from that direction and you should find it

#

at least, hopefully

eternal garnet
#

yes, but first get the beacon triggered. for later

#

East, south a little too

#

try

limpid drum
#

did you get some?

eternal garnet
#

all you ever need is 4

limpid drum
#

is snow stalker fur really only used for coldsuit?

#

if so I feel like thats just a missed opportunity

eternal garnet
#

yes

limpid drum
#

might as well let us make rugs or something out of the material

#

base floors are kinda plain anyway

eternal garnet
#

I... don't think so, but checking

limpid drum
#

there.. is not seems like

eternal garnet
#

no

limpid drum
#

just cool decoration

eternal garnet
#

a land vehicle does though

limpid drum
#

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

steel shoal
#

It looks stylish as Hel

steel shoal
limpid drum
#

cant you carry it?

#

hm
maybe I'll make it in my current playthrough

#

not sure though

steel shoal
#

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

limpid drum
#

i had to edit that message like 4 times-

steel shoal
#

The more the merrier 💖

regal hinge
#

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?

limpid drum
#

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?

steel shoal
limpid drum
#

ah alright

#

I kinda thought it was you crashed and it was dead or something for some reason

steel shoal
#

Don't worry about accidentally falling, it takes no damage and you can pick it up

regal hinge
# steel shoal Yes

is it the two small rocks connected by a vine? I found a gel sac and a stone with gold in it

steel shoal
#

||Omega Lab is below it||

steel shoal
#

It's pretty good

eternal garnet
#

it does not cover north of the bridge, but it's correct, and undetailed

limpid drum
chrome apex
#

Finally made it, navigation in this game is so hard 😭

regal hinge
#

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

eternal garnet
#

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

regal hinge
#

I don't remember ever needing to jump in the game

eternal garnet
#

you could, with a jump upgrade to the bike. Or just walk

regal hinge
#

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

eternal garnet
#

You are seeing the remake of glacial basin. The first was way worse

#

But I agree. Intentionally difficult to go north/south

regal hinge
#

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

eternal garnet
#

didn't find it?

regal hinge
#

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||

eternal garnet
#

that's the one

#

it sounds important., but it's a minor story thing

#

a little bedroom? Nice

regal hinge
#

I foun it before I even heard about it in-game lol

eternal garnet
#

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?

regal hinge

If I wasn't worried about getting banned I would curse and shout use caps. Where is the damn omega lab?

eternal garnet
regal hinge
#

inside? I thought it was below in the caverns

eternal garnet
#

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

eternal garnet

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.

If your food and water are full (or above certain limit), you will regenerate health slowly

bold monolith

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

bold monolith

He uses the protagonist head.

steel shoal
#

In the first game, there's a translator that has many many languages, including Earth languages

fast tangle
#

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.||

clever crow
#

nah. game lore stuff outright emperors are just animals native to 4546b

steel shoal
#

It communicates through telepathy, so it can make your brain understand its intentions

steel shoal
clever crow
#

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

fast tangle

that means aliens do know about English. or not?

steel shoal

They do know it

You mentioned the blade but not the translator in the same facility...

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

fast tangle

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.

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.

theres two beacons in this exact same spot

I wouldn't call it a bug.

They are identical. There's no reason to have 2

Sure but it's intentional.

Just like in SN1 two PDAs unlock the Jellyshroom base signal.

yea what

#

ive done this already

#

so ig ill ignore it

eternal garnet
#

is it the same one signal? Then that's great. This is not. But hey, very minor bug

bold monolith
#

They are two different signals. It's by design.

fast tangle
#

If you find any artifact before Al-an it will give us the becon. Right? And what's rhw second one.

eternal garnet
#

Same coords, same title. Same signal

fringe spade

Technically they don't have the same title.

eternal garnet

they do on screen

it's a bug. Closing ticket

What's the percent chance that a snow stalker will not perform the instant-death attack?

eternal garnet
#

really low. But it has a cooldown

steel shoal
#

When you are out of range, they use the claw attack

fervent bloom
fervent bloom
steel shoal
#

I mean

#

You're right

eternal garnet
#

it just looks a little different if you actually die

steel shoal
#

The non-grab attack can be triggered by standing on a ledge or being out of range, I think

fervent bloom
steel shoal
#

No, the grab is when she falls over

#

Non-grab has no cutscene, they just jump and slash with their front claws

fervent bloom
#

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.

eternal garnet
#

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

fervent bloom
#

Does the trivalve take damage if it falls?

tacit thorn
#

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?

tacit comet
#

Makes sense.

#

Like reapers and such.

fervent bloom
#

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.
