below-zero-chat

[vague moat]

hes just stating the truth

[bold monolith]

It wasn't meant to be rude.

[fervent bloom]

Is there a reason why a ||Crystal Caves|| hydrothermal vent is located in the Glacial Connection?

[drifting finch]

Also I accidentally walked into a Mother Snow Stalkers cave

[hot heath]

Alright then

[lilac kraken]

just to know, there's a way to get magnetite on early game? I kinda had trouble getting on the start, and now the upgrades to my scanner room has almost no use to it. Just want to know

[eternal garnet]

yes, laser cutter and explore the icebergs for hollow ones. Or sea monkey gifts in lilypads. They try to give from your pinned items. 50% random still

Sea monkey gifts require a friend in your head

[lilac kraken]

i don't get it

what friend?

[eternal garnet]

k. Did you hear a distress call in the southern deeper parts? If not, go there

north of delta island. Get the compass, it's cheap and helps with discord and more

[lilac kraken]

i probably don't get there, or i don't remember

im alredy pretty mid/late game, so using scanner room is pretty optional

[eternal garnet]

Bit early for magnetite, but not too early

You still haven't heard a distress call?

if you have a few hours, you could have a beacon for it

[lilac kraken]

i probably had but i don't remember

[eternal garnet]

in pda. Distress call

[lilac kraken]

i already found the ||marg greenshouse||

[eternal garnet]

Beacons / Signals

[lilac kraken]

i will check next time i play

[eternal garnet]

ooh, asking when not in game 😛

[lilac kraken]

it was more a doubt of how the hell i could use my favorite room in the game (scanner room) the most early on

[eternal garnet]

it will find the iceberg ones. There's also some in deeper lilypads

look for beacon "distress call origin" - very important

magnetite is bare, not in a rock

[lilac kraken]

i was a big fan o scanner room because in SB you can get the upgrades to your hud pretty early on so its very easy to get a lot of materials and all of that, but on BZ i found very little magnetite that on the stage that I was already on, it was not much worth anymore.

[eternal garnet]

oh, you don't have it yet

So. Inside a couple hollow icebergs

typically, PDA will announce a nearby "moulin in iceberg"

[lilac kraken]

actually i don't know, i need to check if i have or not

[eternal garnet]

I meant scanner room

which probably needs mag

[lilac kraken]

the scanner room itself doesn't if i remember well, but the upgrade to the hud i am sure it needs

[eternal garnet]

kinda necessary

[lilac kraken]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

reminder, icebergs need laser cutter

which needs diamond. Deep twisty for those

[lilac kraken]

i alredy have

i think I already have all modules of seatruck, and the prawn (basically only the prawn), my base its pretty finished and yeah, just need to explore more

i was asking because if someday i start a new game or find extreme necessary, i have and idea of how to get it

[eternal garnet]

I feel like you must have visited the distress thing. ||A big floating cube in an alien room?||

[lilac kraken]

yes

||i alredy progressed through Al-an story a lot, margaret too, and i think i progressed through sam too||

[eternal garnet]

that means you have a friend in your head, and also monkeys will bring gifts from your pins

[lilac kraken]

oh really? i didn't know

i will try to maintain my desired recipes on pin

[eternal garnet]

unpin the irrelevant items

[lilac kraken]

i really though that was only random

thanks!

[eternal garnet]

also you are now midgame

[regal hinge]

Story questions; ending spoilers of course

||1- So apparently Al-An is responsible for the breakout of Kharaa in SN1. Do they ever say what was his role exactly?

2- What did Sam actually do? I know Meida send a sea truck to sabotage Omega lab, but I'm not clear what Sam's plan was after she made the antidote. What was she trying to do to the frozen leviathan?

3- Why are architects called the "pre-cursor" race? Also, is 4546B not their home?

4- Why is Meida on the run from Alterra? Other than blowing up Omega Lab -which Alterra doesn't know of- she hasn't done anything wrong (other than being obnoxious to the Torgals)||

[eternal garnet]

||2 - Her plan was to cure the thing, then seal it in the cave by explosives. Reasons, Alterra's possibly shady plans with it
3 - They are not from here. It's possible they came here to release Kharaa as an experiment. Precursor just means those who came before
4 - She is just trying to survive, but possibly she is an outlaw to Alterra from the start. All her gear and buildings were "borrowed"||

[regal hinge]

That makes sense, except ||for 2. The game tells you that Sam stashed the antidote. I don't recall anything in-game saying anything afterwards, only that she died near the excavation site||

[lilac kraken]

||1 - If i remember exactly, i see on a video reviewing the game in a spoiler part that somewhere in the game he said he was somewhat a scientist or researcher. Robin even says something like "So you are a scientist just like me?"||

[eternal garnet]

he was in charge of the SN1 containment

the failed hatching

I think. CAn't say where I got that idea from

[tacit comet]

I believe he admits it at some point

When robin inquires.

[regal hinge]

||he admits he had a role in the accident. I was wondering if it was ever specified, or that it simply happened under his watch||

[tacit thorn]

||1. He was chief scientist for finding the cure, he messed up. I think khaara got released because of the accident.||
||2. Her plan was to destroy all the khaara samples so evil big corp cant use it as bioweapon. The old lady offered help by blowing up omega lab where samples were tested. Sam job was to use antidote on the frozen leviathan that had live cultures of the pathogen. A fight with security broke out. Both died.||
||3. architects be old. they not come from the 4546B, only visited because of the biosphere. I think they needed planet to find cure for khaara||
||4. Old lady did blow up omega lab, and she does not like evil corp. ||

[regal hinge]

Kindly use spoilers people : )

Having finished the game, I think I like the story more, now. Admittedly it does feel kind of "bumpy", probably due to rewriting and time constraints.

I actually liked some of the moments between Robin and Al-An. Wish we had more of that.

[tacit comet]

Hope

[eternal garnet]

make sure to: play music. Sleep. Have a pet

[steel shoal]

I don't quite get the old lady's deal with Alterra, it's not fully explored.

They only started being a problem in the last year or so. How did she build her habitats?

[regal hinge]

Agreed. It does make sense, but it felt kind of lazy not to be clear. Having a problem with authority was fine before, it was an interesting character trait. But it felt like she turned into conspiracy theories

[regal hinge]

I slept in my previous playthrough not knowing there was an interaction. I played music in this playthrough not knowing there was an interaction. I haven't had a pet. I think Al-An's best moments shouldn't be in optional tasks

[steel shoal]

What does she want to do with the Antenna? Alterra isn't even on the planet anymore, and she doesn't want to leave.

[eternal garnet]

She doesn't trust it

[regal hinge]

The Antenna can expose her location. Although, it's odd that she was fine being on the island and calling it her turf in the beginning.

But it's all kind of shoddy. I heard the game went through development issues? Can someone enlighten?

[steel shoal]

I doubt Skyrays damaged it, it must have been her trying to break it. It is now in pristine condition.

[eternal garnet]

Alterra likely knew and let her be

[eternal garnet]

it did. it's called Kharaa Covid

[steel shoal]

Writer left very late in the development, they had to rewrite using the same assets. Not very good, but they tried their best.

Hopefully the new writers will be much more consistent in SN2, and won't have to go through the same problems.

[regal hinge]

I thought the game was older than covid. oh well.

[quick brook]

it's Older than most of you

[regal hinge]

All in all, I can't blame people saying the game doesn't measure to its predecessor, but to be fair, it's never easy following up on a really good game (not invalidating people's opinions that like BZ more)

[lilac kraken]

the sleep one is very cool, i like it a lot

[lilac kraken]

yeah that was sad, the game is still fun, its a good game itself but not in comparison to the SN1 for me. I hope SN2 will be a awesome sequel.

[regal hinge]

Agreed.

[lilac kraken]

I liked a lot base building in BZ, I hope the options doesn't be so good, or else I won't play the game outside of my base haha

I really am addicted to base building and decorating, if the new game adds a lot of it, i think my fun will be base building forever!

[regal hinge]

Loved base building the game. I don't feel it added a lot to SN1, but it was so good that I wouldn't complain.

The sea truck wasn't as bad as I thought or as I heard. It was a cool idea. But I thought it felt much less "refined" than what we had in SN1. I thought SN1's vehicle variety was better, despite some things I didn't like

[lilac kraken]

I liked too base building, but i will be honest, i kinda miss variant options of corridors (T shaped glass ones, retangular variant of multipurpose room or corridors, at least i didn't find ones of that) but thats not a thing that i felt that made my experience worse.

[lilac kraken]

the least thing that i disliked was that when you had a lot of modules, the speed was severely reduced, like, if some modules doesn't counted for that debuff, like the jukebox one or prawn, it will be more cool

[lofty pasture]

I'm having trouble scanning those friggin chelicerates

[lilac kraken]

whats the problem exactly?

[lofty pasture]

Do stasis rifles even exist here?

I just keep getting bitten

[lilac kraken]

i don't even know, i didn't find one

[lilac kraken]

i don't remember much of it being a problem for me because i mostly avoid, but it deal much damage to the character?

i really don't know

[lofty pasture]

yes but I want to scan it so I have to get close to it

[lilac kraken]

have you tried to fill your inventory with medkits? calm and steady

[lofty pasture]

WHERE IS IT

[lilac kraken]

i don't know if its the best option but probably works somewhat decent

[lofty pasture]

omg never thought of that

thanks I'll try

[lilac kraken]

that happens a lot to me, sometimes waypoints are poiting to other biomes or locations (probably its more deeper in another set of caves)

[lofty pasture]

huh

[lilac kraken]

i remember being easy to craft so, probably its a good choice, you're welcome!

[lilac kraken]

probably you are on the wrong cave

must be another way to go there

[lofty pasture]

yeah I'll keep trying

[lilac kraken]

good luck!

[viral knot]

why do all my truck docks do this

it's like

i cant use it since it deletes my sea truck

like it's not even there

i cant do anything about it other than getting the upgrades out and power cells

then i have to destroy it and spawn a new one cause i aint wasting materials for something my game stole from me

[tacit thorn]

Tried satisfactory yet?

[lilac kraken]

I already saw a lot of videos but the idea of automation doesn't catch me much

i will probably like it but i don't know if I will ever want to play to mid/late game

[tacit thorn]

be warned, it has thousand mods.

[lilac kraken]

I will probably stick with subnautica until i get bored, but thanks for the idea!

I will consider eventually

now i have a lot to play or do, so its not much worth now, when i get bored of SB or BZ i will try it

[tacit thorn]

BZ is smaller, yet there is so much to explore and exploit and exterminate to expand

[lilac kraken]

yeah, and with mods that is a lot more

ive wanted to play subnautica games from 2018 to now, and basically this year and 2023 i had the chance, so for me its a big deal

[tacit thorn]

Good thing pc games do not have expiration date like consoles do

[steel shoal]

SN1 has horrible writing too, don't worry

It's just less in your face

(reapers have tentacles...)

[lilac kraken]

my favorite part o SN1 was more the exploration and mostly ambience, i kinda liked more than BZ in this aspect, it felt more immersive for me.

[steel shoal]

Well, BZ is not immersive by design

Characters talk and have personalities, SN is complete silence

The exploration is nicer in BZ, imo. Biomes are less sparse, even if smaller

[tacit comet]

And the soundtrack and creature design is better imo

[steel shoal]

I agree, and base building, and lighting, and vfx, and voice acting, etc etc

[tacit comet]

it does depend on how you define immersive. I find BZ can be more immersive because of the biomes and such.

[steel shoal]

But you don't feel like you're exploring yourself, it's more like you're exploring as Robin

Which is fine, I love it

[lilac kraken]

i like more SN because by being more silence in some aspects I felt more aware of my surroudings, and the way that i could fit my adventure on the planet in the middle of what happened felt more cool for me, while in BZ its like andy said

at least what i are understanding

[steel shoal]

Yes, being a no one is more immersive than being a complete character with a personality and goals

[regal hinge]

I haven't played this game, I'll definitely try it. But I have to mention that The Planet Crafter is the closest I got to the same vibe as SN. It has a demo.

[lilac kraken]

i need to finish the game first, there's things that i need to experience to be more sure if what i think now still will be similar to when i finish the game.

[regal hinge]

That's a good piont. I would add that also there's a difference between going to 4546B for a goal and accidentally landing there amid a crash and being all of a sudden isolated and alone.

Also, the way the game guides you where to go is significantly different than how it is in BZ.

[steel shoal]

But it's not like it makes BZ a worse game. It's just different, and that's what the devs wanted

[regal hinge]

It's always down to what people like. I don't think BZ is objectively worse, because people have different tastes and devs have different goals.

[steel shoal]

Less scary, less immersive, but more story heavy and clear. Important to note that BZ is not SN again, but rather a different take on it

[fast tangle]

i liked how SN did, than bz on that front.

[lilac kraken]

yes, for me i just think didn't catch much because i was more fan of SN because it was very immersive and scary

but the game its very fun

anyway, i will play more to explore and do my things, i still need to do things in BZ

[steel shoal]

There are lots of hidden things, have you found the Booster Tank?

[lilac kraken]

yes, but i like having oxygen

[regal hinge]

lol

[steel shoal]

Ah, it was very difficult to find for me

[lilac kraken]

100% of my deaths was because i drowned in front of my seatruck

[steel shoal]

It's bad, I wish there was a Seaglide alternative without commands :/

[lilac kraken]

at least for now its that, i don't know if it will change later

[tacit thorn]

try hypothermia next

[fast tangle]

I liked SN1, because what dev wanted, I felt that they achieved it 100%. But for BZ, what dev has wanted, are actually not able achieved it, or get close to it. because you know the story change thing, and then they have to do it, fit new story, with whatever the assets they have done.

I wished to see 100% what dev thought they wanted it to for BZ, but now never mind. I hope now the same will not happen to SN2

[lilac kraken]

good call

i will

[fast tangle]

I really wanted to see 100% of what dev have wanted SN2 be.

[lilac kraken]

i think it will be achieved, and i will pray that this actualy happens. but for now i have one question

How the heck i get the last piece of snowfox?
||I already scanned the one from the table of the base of margaret, the one from the base of sam, like, i think was west location, it was where they made tests of the snowfox i think||

[tacit thorn]

left side of map has several. and several of them are bugged into textures.

[fast tangle]

yeah, the game name itself, tells us, that they are far more dedicated still and wanted the game to reach the same heights as SN1.

[tacit thorn]

snowfox is... not great. you are not missing much

[steel shoal]

It's super fun, but not useful

I highly recommend giving it a try anyway

[lilac kraken]

i think i know why, from where i see in the videos, looks like the controls are like the first remade boats from minecraft, its right? (you needed to understand how each side interacted to each other, like a real life boat)

[lilac kraken]

going vroom vroom soon

[fast tangle]

snowfox is good, but the loaction are not good for it.

[steel shoal]

No. It only goes forward, you can't look up or down. Looking to the sides will make it turn.

[steel shoal]

The Arctic Spires and the open areas of the Glacial Basin are amazing. The tight, maze like areas... not so much.

[fast tangle]

The Arctic Spires is amazing for sure, but then the beast exists there.

[steel shoal]

It requires knowing how to drive

Yea, the Worm interactions are not great

At least you don't get damaged

[tacit thorn]

only benefit is it is marginally faster than prawn

[fast tangle]

i think, prawn with right arm can go as fast as snowfox on land.

[steel shoal]

The Prawn Grapple glitch... not even close

[tacit thorn]

4 jumpjets + bunny hop

[steel shoal]

But the jump jets are quite weird, the forward boost increases over time, making jumping over ledges give you huge speed boosts

[fast tangle]

do jumpjet stack?

i guess no

[tacit thorn]

they sure do

[steel shoal]

Jumpjet upgrade is significantly worse, so now it can stack

There aren't many good upgrades for the Prawn anyway

[fast tangle]

whatever, i never used jumpjet on land, just grapnel and that's it

[steel shoal]

It's not useful

But the forward boost is very good

[fast tangle]

forward boost comes from jumpjet right? if yeah then i have used it. forward boost combined with grapnel works on land.

[eternal garnet]

forward boost is built in, but improves with the upgrade I think

[steel shoal]

I don't know if it's improved other than lasting longer

[fast tangle]

but with jump jet, i think if I remembering right, i able to jump to Arctic Spires side without expanding the bridge.

[steel shoal]

You can already do that

[broken badge]

I remember trying to jump that bridge with the snowfox (unsuccessfully, like 4 times😭) before I figured out you were supposed to repair it, not jump over it😂

[fast tangle]

and the land where there is nothing, its just flat ice land. after a moment walking I thought i hit the dead zone, but then again i didn't saw any giant Ice Worm. I was so conflicted back then lol.

[fast tangle]

oh that what i did, but i think, if you jump from the water the prawn suit will go much higher than jumping on land.

[steel shoal]

There are no worms in the Tundra, yet another incomplete feature

[broken badge]

Somewhere out there, if you walk far enough out of bounds there’s an ice worm testing area that was left in the game lol

[fast tangle]

i was just waiting that when will they appear and eat me, assuming how giant they would be. but i ended up falling to the bottom of the map or somthing.

[bold monolith]

The ice worm debug area is gone in the recent builds.

[fast tangle]

Sad

[bold monolith]

Also I do not believe you.

This thing is a boolean and the code has a "count(jumpJetUpgrades) > 0" to set its state.

So adding one or three does the same.

[fast tangle]

Hmm, I know it doesn't stack

[tacit thorn]

it does feel like my prawn can jump higher with all 4 installed

[steel shoal]

Placebo

[broken badge]

Oh, good to know about the ice worm testing are no longer being accessible
Thanks Ignis, you are a true font of knowledge for all things Subnautica and BZ

[fast tangle]

But, but, i was never been to that place.

[broken badge]

Well you can always watch a video of someone else visiting the area. I’ve never been there either but you can find videos of it I’m sure

[fast tangle]

Ohkay, sure will do Someday.

[broken badge]

Sometimes people are writing things in a hurry. Sometimes text autocorrects or does other shenanigans, or there’s just keyboard mistakes or whatever. And not everyone is native English speaker. In other words, cut folks some slack

Sometimes I go back and change part of my sentence and then don’t realize grammar doesn’t add up. Not everyone wants to proofread their stuff, so again, there can be a ton of reasons for things.

[fast tangle]

Well what did I do wrong?

[steel stream]

I remember testing and succesfully jumping over the broken bridge with snowfox (maybe with the jump upgrade)

[broken badge]

I definitely got close, so yeah maybe with the jump upgrade and the right angle

[fervent bloom]

Technically, the ideal way to say that would be "I had never been" rather than "I was never been".

[broken badge]

We all understood what you meant though 🙂

[fast tangle]

Thank you, for this.

[fast tangle]

No prob, I just wanted to know what I did wrong. It's good to know.

And now he sayed "had", I clearly see that was missing. I totally forgot that word outta my mind at the time. 🤣

[peak tapir]

Thas what im saying the lilypad one is shtoopid

[lofty pasture]

wait what

do you know where it is?

[bright osprey]

Light Moth, found the ||Marguarite|| beacon?

[stone orbit]

why does the chelly kinda remind me of like

a salmon

[slate tartan]

does this cutie pie have a name?

[steel stream]

Yes

[slate tartan]

whats its name

[tacit thorn]

Preston

[slate tartan]

ohhh

[tacit comet]

Preston my beloved <333

[left marsh]

That’s a ||shadow leviathan|| obvs

[tacit comet]

what is?

Preston? no, he's a cutie

I mean, shadows are cuties too

[drifting finch]

Lies, the shadow leviathan is raging, monster beast from down unda

[tacit comet]

no, she's my bestie <3

[drifting finch]

Really? Because I got my butt kicked from a shadow leviathan, which I almost won the fight. Unless It's a infant shadow leviathan, then that's okay.

[carmine bobcat]

Time to hope my new save doesn't crash for the 5th time in a row

Aaaand the drop pod is 200 meters away AAAAAA

[tacit comet]

No, I have a base near the first one, and it's super cool.

She glides overhead, very fancy

[drifting finch]

Are you insane! My base is near the sea monkey's, where it's safe from the carnivorous creatures that are trying to kill me.

[tacit comet]

I'm safe too, when I'm inside.

It's very beautiful with the glass domes

[carmine bobcat]

As someone who built in the cave that margueriet was in. This is hilarious

[tacit comet]

and I can always wait for her to go around the pillar before I leave and such

[drifting finch]

What if I suggest that any hostile creatures can damage sea bases, oh boy that will be a whole new level.

[slate tartan]

i would love to not get chewed ||by a chelicrate ever 5 mins while im in the purple vents biome😤 ||

[tacit comet]

om nom nom

[slate tartan]

||defense system|| comes in clutch it so op

[fervent bloom]

Is it, by any chance, near the area with hydrothermal vents, jade membranes, and rock punchers?

[tacit comet]

Yes

It's in the depression in the floor there.

Oh right, I haven't shown pictures yet.

I'll try to find a time to do that.

[drifting finch]

You know what, Devs make this happen.

[slate tartan]

i think my games bugged i cant find the 3rd fragment of the ||storage module|| any ideas?

[left marsh]

Look harder

[eternal garnet]

well, it's in deep twisty

[fervent bloom]

I tried building in precisely the same location. I might want to relocate, however.

[slate tartan]

yeah ive looked there loads just finding fabricator ended up using dev commands for it

[left marsh]

Strange..it should be there

It is difficult to tell the difference between the 2 so i end up scanning all the frags for the free titanium

[slate tartan]

well lost about 5hrs of progress cuz game crashed and auto saves dont exsist which is great

[eternal garnet]

There's a mod. But you knew it doesn't autosave. Right?

[slate tartan]

yes but i didnt know it was going to crash luckily i made a save earlier

[hexed nacelle]

Hello people 😃

[lilac kraken]

I played a bit a few hours ago, i explored until i get ||in the cave with the leviathan with kharaa, and i stopped a bit there.||

And only today i discovered searching in the internet that theres a upgrade that gets the seatruck ||a passive buff when you have 2 modules attached to it 💀, i am disappointed with myself.|| i don't know if that's spoiler.

Only mental pain i feel now

[lilac kraken]

Hello alfredo fazbear! Is freddy ok?

[carmine bobcat]

Aaaand.. 3 hours of bz gone down the drain because the game decided to crash mid save

I have now lost all motivation to play this game

[fervent bloom]

It isn't really an improvement, it just allows you to retain more speed with many modules.

[lilac kraken]

Don't give up, i believe in you even don't knowing who you are!

[dull zephyr]

Okay I might have to relocate unless there’s a thermal area in the tree spires I can use?

[lilac kraken]

Yeah, saddly i just discover mid to eng game.

[carmine bobcat]

Haha.. I cant be asked to do all that again..

Not today..

[lilac kraken]

Please 🥺

[carmine bobcat]

No.

[lilac kraken]

What if cat?

[carmine bobcat]

Nein

[lilac kraken]

So you don't keep calm or hang in there

the posters from subnautica games

[fervent bloom]

I'm hitting so many spinefish in the ||Fabricator Caverns||...

[steel shoal]

Hope you're regretting every single time

[fervent bloom]

Well, none have been killed in this reality.

[karmic valve]

oops

just testing out emoji’s

[lilac kraken]

How many spines has you been broken until now?

Any idea?

[fervent bloom]

My character managed to misplace her trusty Seaglide by putting it in a Recyclotron.

[chrome apex]

I deployed my SnowFox and it went into the ground

😭

Same thing happened to one of my Beacons earlier

[plush fjord]

That's happened to me before

[lilac kraken]

There's a way to get a "camera" on seatruck so i can know when im almost hitting something on the far back of the truck?

[steel shoal]

Did you deploy it, or did you drop it?

[chrome apex]

Deploy

[steel shoal]

Generally, looking forward instead of down will prevent it from clipping through the ground

And remember to deploy it using the hotbar

[warm trout]

I ALSO love all of you and I hope youre all doing well <3

it gets better !

[rancid coral]

what's the biome with all the purple crystals and kyanite called?

[steel shoal]

You won't believe me when I say it

||Crystal Caves||

[mellow geode]

gasp
What a shocker

[steel shoal]

You won't believe the name of the biome with purple vents

[rancid coral]

Purple Vent Area

also i'm 11 hours in and haven't gotten a single jumpscare. i don't know if i should be disappointed or relieved

[steel shoal]

Does the game have jumpscares?

Probably

I jumped many times

[rancid coral]

S1 sorta kinda did

[chrome cedar]

Sea Monkeys have gotten me before…

[rancid coral]

dude i LOVE the sea monkeys

[steel shoal]

Crabsnakes kinda spooky sometimes

[chrome cedar]

They love to get in your face

[rancid coral]

one of them stole my knife, ran away with it, i took it back, they sulked away, they brought me a rock to make up for it. cutest things ever.

[steel shoal]

Once, a Sea Monkey spawned in front of my truck mif afterburner. I jumped, then got angry, then cried

[soft oar]

i just take whatever they give me even if its useless because they look so cute 😭

[steel shoal]

50% chance it's a material from your currently pinned recipes

[soft oar]

really? thats pretty neat actually

[rancid coral]

lol

[soft oar]

still has never helped because i always build in purple vents but still

[rancid coral]

i builed NEAR the vents

never in

[soft oar]

you do you, i build right next to the island all the time, plenty of recources there and its in the center of the map

[woeful storm]

omw to pin all the recipes with the really rare materials

wish there was something like that in subnautica 1 so i wouldnt have to go out to find lithium every time i wanted to make like anything

[drifting finch]

Monkey Sea, Monkey do. steals my tool "Oye give me that back ya monkey"

[mellow geode]

Reject humanity, return to sea monke

[left marsh]

!! That’s too large of a spoiler. Gonna have to delete that onw!!

[loud moat]

guys

why i cant plant in the indoor planter

[bold monolith]

Maybe you're trying to plant outdoor plants.

#subnautica-chat message

[carmine bobcat]

Another day. Another time to pray my game doesn't crash mid save..

[loud moat]

yes

i meant i puten it on my base

i need to put out of my base?

[bold monolith]

Depending on the plant, maybe.

[loud moat]

im planting uh

[bold monolith]

Land plants need to have an indoor growbed, underwater plants outdoor.

[loud moat]

young cotton anemone seed

and gel sack

[bold monolith]

Land plants can also be planted above the water surface.

Those are underwater plants.

So you can't plant them inside a base.

[loud moat]

then?

[bold monolith]

Make an exterior growbed.

[loud moat]

exterior?

whats that

[bold monolith]

!wiki exterior growbed below zero

[loud moat]

wheres twisty bridges

[bold monolith]

The starting biome, but where the brutesharks are.

You'll find the growbeds northwest of the Island.

And not very deep.

[loud moat]

u mean to lifepod

[steel stream]

You can plant underwater plants also in alien containment (and thus get them inside your base)

[left marsh]

woah.. never thought of that

[carmine bobcat]

What's the best edible plant? (I'm before greenhouse)

[loud moat]

i beated subnatica below zero without prawn suit or laser cutter or the snow suit and i didint got the laser cutter💀

[steel shoal]

Peppers are pretty good

[carmine bobcat]

Where can I find those?

[steel shoal]

Everywhere, really

Except maybe Delta

[plush fjord]

They're on delta

[steel shoal]

Oh

Then what place doesn't have them?

[plush fjord]

I don't know

[steel shoal]

Ah, so it is not on Delta

[hexed nacelle]

Hello people 😄

[drifting finch]

@plush fjord Fevered Peppers are located in some areas, I found some near Glacial Bay, in the caves

[eternal garnet]

greenhouse iceberg, in the tunnel

[remote pecan]

is BZ a sequel or a prequel?

[eternal garnet]

it's more separate, but it happens 2 years after

[remote pecan]

so prequel or not?

[eternal garnet]

after means sequel. But it's not really a sequel. There is a little story overlap tho

[remote pecan]

knew it

[steel shoal]

It tells you about the press'/Alterra's reaction to the Aurora being missing

But it's mostly an adjacent story

[remote pecan]

yeah

[chrome cedar]

Just a different story in the same universe.

[granite dagger]

Hello

Why do people seem to dislike below zero a lot more than the 1st subnautica ?

[eternal garnet]

This again
Maybe: They don't like the story. They don't like that protagonist is not alone and silent

[granite dagger]

Ah, fair enough

[steel shoal]

Usually comes from setting up false expectations. Essay youtubers also love to hate on stuff.

[granite dagger]

I played both and loved below zero even more than the 1st game

[eternal garnet]

if you look at twitch, SN is played much more

[steel shoal]

I prefer BZ too, it's nice and pretty

[eternal garnet]

I agree

[granite dagger]

The QoL changes were so cool

graphic improvement and the new story element were also lovely

[fast tangle]

i am seeing more a new ytubers are picking Subnautica very often.

[granite dagger]

Also the option to do the part with the frozen leviathan and the antitode was amazing. It isn't even needed to "finish" BZ, but adds a lot of new lore elements to thoses who want them

[steel shoal]

Someone made me aware that Pinnacarid is a typo, and the creature was to be named Pinnicarid. I've been crying ever since.

[fast tangle]

it is, that's why they made it to Subnautica too.

[bold monolith]

I wouldn't take this with a lot of conviction. Otherwise the cryptosuchus would be called hidden croc still.

The name of the object is pinnacarid, in the PDA they're called pinnacarid as well.

[steel shoal]

But unlike hidden croc, pinnicarid actually makes a lot of sense

Maybe it's like Reaper size, a woopsie turned into a feature. Or they wanted it to be different.

[granite dagger]

Also, do you guys know by any chance why was the first storyline for BZ scrapped ?

I remember during the early stages that we were in radio communication with other people

[steel shoal]

Writer Tom Jubert left the team mid development

[granite dagger]

dang, tbh I prefer the current one

Old one felt "weird"

[fast tangle]

well, if i know right, Ice Dragon was initially meant to look like Pinnicarid and was called Pinnicarid Leviathan.

[fast tangle]

old one never finished, how you know its "weird".

[steel shoal]

Yes, very cool concept art

[granite dagger]

I think you could guess that I meant the part we could play

[fast tangle]

then it was weird, because it was not finished.

[granite dagger]

I'm not sure that I said it was ever finished

[bold monolith]

The first story was criticized. Why were you stranded whereas your sister was just above you, it didn't have a strong start, and it was "go there, take this item, send it". People didn't like the quest feeling. Now they're regretting it and say the developer didn't listen to their feedbacks.

[steel shoal]

That's important to know, thank you

[fast tangle]

i was not the part of Early acess, but i guess I do know this part.

people might have given them a chance. it maybe for the first time go there go here kinda thing only for the Early Acess. but sooner can refined into something good most of us can like. i guess

[steel shoal]

Was the story criticized, or the gameplay loop?

[slate tartan]

can no longer save a game after installing the autosave mod any fixes or just uninstall it

[fast tangle]

I don't think the gameplay loop got criticized, SN also had the gameplay loop kinda. people might have not liked a voiced character not stranded on planet. just a guess i could be wrong.

[steel shoal]

#subnautica-modding might be able to help you better, but I think uninstalling might fix it.

[slate tartan]

ill prob just uninstall it

[steel shoal]

Voiced character has nothing to do with gameplay loop. SN didn't have a quest feeling, like Ignis said BZ had.

[fast tangle]

As i said, I could be wrong. Does the current Bz have a quest-like feeling?

[steel shoal]

No

At least I don't think so

[fast tangle]

yeah, then it might be in early versions huh. cool

people should have given time or accepted it for a while. the game had to just refined it a bit and wait for it to get finished.

and they just criticized it.

[steel shoal]

Well, I prefer what we got

[fast tangle]

well, prefer is subjective here, because who knows what we had gotten might come better than this.

anyway, it happened now. hope UW sticks to their plans this time around, and able to bring what they really wanted for the next game.

[steel shoal]

BZ had a really rough development, I hope SN2 goes smoothly. I bet that is what the devs want too.

[fast tangle]

yeah, i want that too.

[granite dagger]

i'm replaying below zero and I believe that a music that is in the game is also in satisfactory

[eternal garnet]

that's sus

[fast tangle]

it is, pluz jukebox yay.

did jukebox made it to the Sub2.0 or not?

[steel shoal]

No

Neither did the Control Room

[lilac kraken]

Guys im a bit lost to what to do, whats happening is that I am following the story of the game, because I play a bit in a day, and not a lot of hours, I kinda forgot what to do next, I tried to play today but I was a bit lost being real.

||Im alredy found the margaret greenhouse, and the big leviathan cave, the delta island, explored the lilypads base, an so goes on. I kinda remember having some recipe about some thing hydraulic, i think it was on the bridge. I need to go there to continue?||

[steel shoal]

Yes, the bridge is da future

[lilac kraken]

thank you!

so thats explain why I was gathering snowfox recipe materials

[steel shoal]

The Snowfox is really fun, especially on the other side of the bridge

[lilac kraken]

I want to get an upgrade to seatruck near the ||lilypads, the one that gets me a bit of speed with 2+ modules||, is it worth it?

[steel shoal]

It is a must have

[lilac kraken]

I think i missed a bit the time to get it, but i think it will be worth

[steel shoal]

It makes it so you can carry 1 more module before the speed debuff gets applied

[lilac kraken]

that's very usefull, i like to go with 5 modules a lot of the time

and i don't wanna get rid of one or two, because i like all of them

there's another upgrade that can boost my speed? I think it has but i don't know its name, i tried to search one time

[eternal garnet]

another than what

[lilac kraken]

oh i found it, its name is ||"Seatruck Afterburner"||

[slate tartan]

90% sure theres not a cuter creature than the ||baby sea monkey||

[brazen timber]

||since aquariums exist in below zero i sometimes want a terrarium. basically a dry aquarium. i really REALLY want to put the penguins in one of them so they just waddle about instead of swimming around permanently.||

[slate tartan]

this should be a mod

wait there is one its called pets or something

[brazen timber]

in the video a pengling is swimming in the air. ive had this as a bug with peepers before in below zero as well as normal subnautica where they somehow get into the base and then swim in the air.

[slate tartan]

yeah ive seen that made me giggle a couple of times

[steel shoal]

Creatures, when below 0m, will swim. This is true for both games.

[brazen timber]

oh thats fun the pets mod does not exist on thunderstore mod manager. thats going to be fun to try to get working.

[real wadi]

how do i get silver (say it without giving me any spoilers)

[steel shoal]

Look for outcrops that look like shale

[real wadi]

the only thing that i found that looks like shale is with lead

well that didnt work

use ```
|| this is very spoiler ||

i use spoiilers like that

[slate tartan]

@brazen timber this is the bug your on abt

[brazen timber]

||why is there a mod that adds a seamoth thermal reactor? the seamoth isnt even in this game (it technically probably still is as a placeholder tho)||

[stone orbit]

they made homicidal shrimp look good

[brazen timber]

yes i have gotten that

[slate tartan]

its in the files theres dev commands for it i think

[slate tartan]

what the flip

[brazen timber]

i HATE nexusmods. "YoU Must be loggeD in to doWNload FilES"

[slate tartan]

most jarring thing youll find but some great mods there however

[real wadi]

are these in the area with the sharks that are in the trailer?

[brazen timber]

i will mess up the entire website right now so i don't need to make an account. i have enough spam ad emails from stuff already on my gmail.

[slate tartan]

do you want the straight answer and how to counter it

[steel shoal]

I don't remember, but if you mean the smiling ones, yes.

[brazen timber]

i am LITTERALY downloading the website as a HTML JUST to bypass the login part because I. DO. NOT. WANT. SPAM. MAILS.

[vague moat]

they dont spam adds

i know since i have had an account for 2 years

[real wadi]

this one

[steel shoal]

Yes, oxygen though.

[brazen timber]

i have logged into so many things that forced me to have an account and 99% of them spam me emails.

[real wadi]

atleast i have the blueprint for the vehicle...

[vague moat]

not nexus

[vague moat]

oxygen

[brazen timber]

i changed my nexus password as i HAD an account then put it into my notes on my pc. where my old password also was.

nice

[real wadi]

uhm i found aliens instead

im not sure if thats better or worse

i only found one silver

[slate tartan]

you want to be looking for argentite outcrops which are in your biome

[real wadi]

yes.

i know.

[slate tartan]

ok.

good.

if you didnt know if you go into the ||thermal vents by the delta station dock theres quite a bit of argentite||

[brazen timber]

below zero just crashed by me saving since it probably saves to appdata which is on c which always fills up because windows 11 has to be windows 11

[eternal garnet]

you cannot ever fill the windows drive. Oceans of probvlems if you do

Also, if it's an SSD, drive wear skyrockets as the drive is used full

You want to leave 10G, at ALL times

[real wadi]

relatable (before i factory resseted)

[brazen timber]

10 gb is impossible with windows always downloading bloatware. i bet it has stuff backed up in the temp again.

[eternal garnet]

not having oceans of problems is impossible, is what you told me there

I mean it, do not ever fill the windows drive. Windows cannot handle this

I do some windows tech support also

[slate tartan]

how do you craft the ||architects components?||

[eternal garnet]

Wait until you have all 3. In a special location. Hint 1: ||Deepest spot in game. ||Precisely: ||East end of crystal caves, 950m||

[real wadi]

i had 0 megabytes left on my C drive. deal with it

multiple times

[slate tartan]

no where near that just waiting for the next ||ancient artifact ||to pop up

[real wadi]

so whats the next step after getting the truck again? explore and try not to die?

[slate tartan]

try get more modules and maybe get a seatruck dock

and upgrades

[real wadi]

i dont even know how to get a habitat builder so eh

[stone orbit]

hear me out

wrong chat nvm

[real wadi]

LOL

[left marsh]

One is in the lil’ compartment next to the high capacity tank databox

[slate tartan]

twisty bridges its somewhere youll definitley see it therell be a sea base go inside and theres a fragment

unknowingly exploring and ive just seen the scariest thing

[real wadi]

the shark never comes out

[slate tartan]

i dont want to exit my seatruck😭

[slate tartan]

let him bite you youll live or hit him with a knife hes not that scary

[left marsh]

The shark got inside the compartment? Unfortunate.

[slate tartan]

if he did thats very immpressive

[real wadi]

i mean

[left marsh]

You can brave it or go to the ||koppa mine|| i think there is one there.

[slate tartan]

yeah theres one there

[left marsh]

If the shark is hanging near it then it’s easily avoided with seaglide

[real wadi]

the shark is constantly patrolling

[slate tartan]

yes just ignore him brave it and go in or hit him w a knife assert the domminance🫡

[left marsh]

You can also take airbladder for xtra 15s oxygen or a quick way to surface.

I discourage killing fauna. Chuck a flare to distract it ig.

[slate tartan]

one knife hit makes him scared

👀

[real wadi]

got it

[lean hollow]

I happen to notice there is no time capsules in below zero...

[real wadi]

pda is lying, dont listen

[left marsh]

Did you get the water in there too

[slate tartan]

😭

[real wadi]

no 😔

[lean hollow]

Scariest message I have ever gotten

[left marsh]

Unfortunate but ita only a filtered so its fine

[slate tartan]

i cant even take my ||prawn ||cuz its 400 depth crush😭

[lean hollow]

Exactly! Would've slapped the ||holy moly out of that shadow leviathan||

Just need depth upgrade mk 2

Got the ||torpedo arm too||

[slate tartan]

ong im gonna smack him when i can return(ive just heard him)

[steel shoal]

The worst arm of all. Amazing.

[lean hollow]

😂😂😂

Nah why is it bad tho

Never actually used it

[steel shoal]

It has no use

Torpedoes are expensive and bad on purpose

[lean hollow]

Ohhh you can't make the torpedoes eh

[slate tartan]

id rather take a knife than a torpedo arm

[lean hollow]

I have the grav arm. Can't I just throw a fish at him

[broken badge]

Yeah there aren’t any in BZ

[tacit thorn]

Arm is fine. it does exactly what designed - shoots tirpedos.

[tacit thorn]

That may actually do more damage then torpedo if he moves out of the effect area.

[slate tartan]

just explains subnautica😭

[lean hollow]

||you think that's bad, you may only notice there's one leviathan in that biome but there's more then one. Learned that the hard way 😭||

[slate tartan]

oh your joking

[lean hollow]

Unity engine at its best

[real wadi]

appearantly i can just juke the shark

[slate tartan]

my trusty defense system will come in clutch

[lean hollow]

I'm not joking going through that biome consists of getting attacked and repairing. Bring extra batteries

[slate tartan]

there easily bamboozled

[slate tartan]

ill take em all on

[lean hollow]

Rambo of subnautica

[tacit thorn]

bring lead, titanium and a build tool.
Build foundation, hide under. he cant reach through the supports. 😂

[broken badge]

Are we talking about the shadows? Seatruck and perimeter defense make passage pretty straightforward

[slate tartan]

when i 1st saw it i though it was a ghostie then i realised what game i was playing

[slate tartan]

yeah thats what i was on abt

[lean hollow]

Well that's if you have it. I unfortunately don't. I'm having issues going through the story

It's not as straightforward as the first

[slate tartan]

true

[left marsh]

If it helps, there is 3 different plots

[broken badge]

Have you got the last known pilot’s location?

That’ll lead you to the item you need

[lean hollow]

Yeah I'm way past that though

[left marsh]

You will need to find the base

It’s found inside there

[broken badge]

You probably missed it. The perimeter defense is on the floor of her base

[slate tartan]

to add to that follow the oxygen plants- takes you right there

[lean hollow]

I looked everywhere in that base for stuff didn't come across it

[broken badge]

It’s on the floor. I use highlight feature, makes it easy to see

[lean hollow]

That a PC thing?

[slate tartan]

is it worth getting the ||aquarium module||

[broken badge]

No, under accessibility

[steel shoal]

It's super pretty and allows you to watch leviathans safely

[lean hollow]

Ah okok

[slate tartan]

nothing better than watching the thing that dosent fear you one bit

[real wadi]

wooo first atrebutefact!!!

[broken badge]

You can see the perimeter defense starts out on top of a crate, but after the cutscene it falls onto the floor (highlight makes it much easier to see, and you can go into accessibility options and pick whatever color you want)

[drifting finch]

You need the Prawn Suit to face the Shadow Leviathan

[slate tartan]

yes i have that

[drifting finch]

Then use it when exploring that dangerous area

[lean hollow]

This is stupid 😂

[slate tartan]

need mk2 depth

[lilac kraken]

hmm

sir, i think titanium is being a parasite to your seatruck dock.

[slate tartan]

L not on survival👎

[broken badge]

Not really. You don’t need to fight it

[drifting finch]

You have 700 leagues, you'll be fine

[slate tartan]

a wha

[lean hollow]

Playing with hunger and thirst is a nuisance. I play the game to explore not to struggle

[steel shoal]

The Prawn Suit is the worst thing to use while exploring the place with Shadow Leviathans

[slate tartan]

so i died while in my seatruck😭

[drifting finch]

Your depth for your Prawn Suit, I went down there with my mine and seemed fine. Just don't go past 700

[slate tartan]

mines 400

[broken badge]

People can play however they want. There’s nothing wrong with choosing any game mode

[drifting finch]

Then you need Mk1 depth module

[lean hollow]

You can go past the depth of your prawnsuit if it's docked to your sea truck

Just don't get in your prawn lol

[slate tartan]

yes i thought i already had it lol

[lean hollow]

Actually it is pretty helpful because it allowed me to go down there early and still take my prawn with me

[broken badge]

After my first save I stopped taking the prawn down to the ||crystal caves|| entirely. I only see it as worth it if you wanted to build a base down there perhaps, because it is pretty

[steel shoal]

Your honor, this lawyer right here may not have a degree, but he's giving useful information.

[slate tartan]

yes i learnt that the hard way when my prawn suit started smoking i was like oh crap

[lean hollow]

Rippp

[drifting finch]

I beat the game once, I have experience

[slate tartan]

see i could never play the game after 1st walkthrough you j know whats gonna happen

[lean hollow]

Uhg I'm at that part where I have to go dance with ||the ice worms|| and stuff

[slate tartan]

idk what an ice worm is nor do i want to know

[broken badge]

But you never see all there is to see in just one play, that’s my feeling anyway

[lean hollow]

💅💅💅

[drifting finch]

If it's your first time playing the game, you'll encounter them. Once you explore the Icey land

[slate tartan]

oh ok

[lean hollow]

How do you spoiler a picture again

[slate tartan]

idek what part im on

[steel shoal]

Tell me, what is the best way to avoid the underwater leviathans?

Subnautica does not require tutorials

Everything is written down in the PDA, or told by characters

[chrome cedar]

Feed them peepers?

[drifting finch]

Avoid being spotted, they know your presence.

[steel shoal]

Strange way of saying "using fish as meat shields"

[slate tartan]

assert dominance and start dancing with them

[steel shoal]

But I guess it works

[slate tartan]

||alan ||has stop talking to me

[drifting finch]

But the Shadow Leviathan, knows your location right off the bat. Once the creatures spots you. You better take cover behind large crystals

[slate tartan]

his last thing he said is spires or something

[drifting finch]

Sometimes he'll talk to you

[slate tartan]

whats this mean

[slate tartan]

his voice is calming

[chrome cedar]

It’s a clue

[slate tartan]

not to be gay but personally i like it

[slate tartan]

idk where that is tho

[eternal garnet]

he means north of ||a bridge, that you have to repair||

[chrome cedar]

Fix a bridge then cross it

[drifting finch]

It means use your navigation to located any artifacts, including the pieces of his new body

[chrome cedar]

Reminds me of Jarvis from Iron Man

[steel shoal]

Usually the best way to avoid them is by letting go of the controls, as being behind the crystals doesn't always work.

[slate tartan]

ik where the bridge is do i need to get a ||hydraulic ||thing

[drifting finch]

Wow you just wanna die by that thing

[steel shoal]

What?

[drifting finch]

I usually fight the beast and escape from being torn apart

[steel shoal]

Clearly, you don't have the experience you said you had.

Don't fight the fish

[chrome cedar]

[drifting finch]

How long you played the game dummy

[chrome cedar]

Cozy

[drifting finch]

Nice

Well let that be lesson to ya @steel shoal

[lean hollow]

I unfortunately am redoing my base so I have to destroy it all 😭😭

[chrome cedar]

I wish there was a bucket in the game. Then when my base has a leak I could just place a bucket there and call it fixed.

[chrome cedar]

That’s where I just start a new game. 😂

[drifting finch]

Captian were taking on water

[slate tartan]

i have like 5 floating lockers in my pod

[steel shoal]

Not long, but long enough.

[lean hollow]

Bro said a bucket 😭😭😭

[drifting finch]

That's It's I'm ignoring you

[steel shoal]

When you're not piloting the Seatruck, creatures don't attack it. Even when you're inside it.

[drifting finch]

No one likes taking my advice, why do I bother helping

[steel shoal]

As long as you're not sitting down on the controls

[drifting finch]

Just ignore her, she's crazy

[steel shoal]

BZ functions differently from SN in this regard.

[lean hollow]

Having a pet crash fish is crazy

[steel stream]

If it already started attacking before you stand up, it won't stop, but won't attack again

[steel shoal]

That only happens with the Prawn Suit. If you have at least one module, standing up will cancel the attack.

[drifting finch]

I just fight the bad creatures, teach them a lesson

[steel stream]

Oh, I thought it would still finish the attack if already charging

[steel shoal]

I think it finishes it if you have no modules.

[drifting finch]

Just don't tick them off, stay away from there territory

Stay out of sight, try your best.

[steel shoal]

You say people don't like your advice, but you say you kill the fish. Maybe that has something to do--

Yes, it's a very useful trick, might save power that would be otherwise used on PDS

[slate tartan]

@steel shoal currently building the aquarium module🫡

[steel shoal]

My favorite <3

[lean hollow]

What's even the point of the sleeper module. Like how many of y'all actually sleep in game

[slate tartan]

me if i wanna skip time

thats dedication i get the mick taken out of me for playing the game

[lean hollow]

I just used a crash fish to power my bioreactor

[slate tartan]

tUrN tHe GAmMa Up🤓

dosent help either way

tbf

[lean hollow]

Yeah like I wanna be listening to gangsta shiz when I'm diving

Tbf if your in Xbox just snap Spotify while playing

[slate tartan]

yeah i use spotify unless its an important part of the game then i lock in

such a good name

can someone tell me the whereabouts of the bridge

[lean hollow]

Sorry I'm just busy mass crafting plasteel ingots 😭

Rip my stash frfr

[slate tartan]

eeeek

[lean hollow]

Had to make 4

To make the big room

[slate tartan]

only need 2

[lean hollow]

I'm making two rooms 😭

[lilac kraken]

look who wanted to give a trial to play on my little adventure. Hi Penglin!

[slate tartan]

ohh

[slate tartan]

i stole one and i got eaten-

that pengling was never seen again.

[lilac kraken]

he just appeared there, i don't know even where the heck it was originated from

[slate tartan]

probaly went through glaciers and picked him up

[lilac kraken]

probably

when i go to there i will just release him, making sure to give him headpats in the process

[slate tartan]

yess

@lilac kraken i got them too lol

[lean hollow]

You guys may think I'm a monster but I use baby penglings as a source of power

[steel shoal]

They're not that good

Peepers are pretty good, gel sacks too

[slate tartan]

guys i think its time for me to encounter the ice worms how do i counter em

[lean hollow]

Root postules work best

[slate tartan]

whats that

[steel shoal]

They're non renewable, unfortunately

[steel shoal]

Yellow things in Kelp Caves

[slate tartan]

ohh them

how do i not die from big worm

[lean hollow]

No but there counterparts in the blood shrooms Forrest are

[steel shoal]

Do as little noise as possible, go near Snow Stalkers, use Thumpers to distract them, avoid the big open areas.

[slate tartan]

cuz i gotta go north east as alan said and i heard a roar

[steel shoal]

You mean the orange blobs? Those aren't either

[lean hollow]

There's a lot of them you'll never run out

[slate tartan]

if i do encounter them will i die

[steel shoal]

Be scared. I mean, don't be scared, you can go past them easily

Snow Stalkers are afraid of flares, btw. Holding one will make then run away.

[slate tartan]

what if they chase u

[slate tartan]

good info chrs

[real wadi]

its in the ||first artifact|| tunnels

i think

[eternal garnet]

For the worm, going the eastern passage is nearly worm free. Bridge, go up right, into a tunnel

[real wadi]

anyways back to trying to find out what i have to do now

[slate tartan]

nah im actually pooing bricks im so scared idk where to go😭

[slate tartan]

where that im at some mine w diamonds

[steel shoal]

Are there any Worms in the frozen lake? It's very pretty

[eternal garnet]

no

[steel shoal]

Use the map you got on Delta Station to guide you.

[eternal garnet]

Go back to bridge, then up to your right, into the tunnel you can see there

[real wadi]

also why is there water current which affects the bubbles but not me anyhow

[slate tartan]

its the weather

[slate tartan]

alr

[steel shoal]

I don't know, but I'm glad the current has no effect on movement

It'd be very annoying

[eternal garnet]

right means East here

[slate tartan]

i went that way i think

this one?

[eternal garnet]

yes

then just north, all the way

[slate tartan]

100%?

[eternal garnet]

See cabling, follow their north end

well, up in the last area you go north-west

it has cables. And bones if you go north-north

[slate tartan]

right ill go north till cables?

[eternal garnet]

basically

[slate tartan]

then what

[steel shoal]

The Arctic Spires are almost like a maze, but meatie knows them very well

[slate tartan]

i hate mazes

[eternal garnet]

I gots a map if you like. Spoils all the locations in Spires

[slate tartan]

nono

so north till cables then where

[steel shoal]

They're not a real maze, as there are no dead ends

[eternal garnet]

follow the cables down into the ground

[steel shoal]

They just feel like one, because it's hard to see

[slate tartan]

right ill update you

[tender wedge]

what do I do if I have no clues / next point of interests?

i built snowfox, i have the core of the alien, and thats it

i havent met the frozen leviathan yet

[slate tartan]

i heard rumbling AND i instanly paused

[steel shoal]

You should

You have a clue - Fred told Sam about it, and he gave the location

[eternal garnet]

So in the north part, theres worm. No way to avoid it completely

Bring medkits

[slate tartan]

went north and its a frozen lake

[eternal garnet]

yes. go north

[steel shoal]

It's beautiful, isn't it?

[slate tartan]

pooing my pants😭

[slate tartan]

okie

[steel shoal]

Frozen lake activities, it seems

[tender wedge]

where do I look for it?

[steel shoal]

"Alterra". Read ALL of them

[slate tartan]

im boutta die to hypothermia bru

[steel shoal]

They are the reason Robin came to the planet, and they have tons of hints and clues

[eternal garnet]

find a cave, or steam vent, or pepper fruit, or any vehicle. no open water here

[slate tartan]

ill try ion wanna get jumped😭

if i get warned one more time

istg

i saw the pepper but couldnt see it in my inventory

[eternal garnet]

it takes 2 slots each

it's a lifesaver

[steel shoal]

If you're having that much trouble, I'd recommend going to the toilet.

[slate tartan]

i ate EVERYTHING but the pepper

[eternal garnet]

pro tip: Do not eat your laser cutter

[tender wedge]

okay, not far from your lab

what does that mean

[slate tartan]

noted for next time

[steel shoal]

Look for her lab in the map

(She worked at Phi Robotics)

[slate tartan]

what would happen if i threw a snow ball at big ice worm

[eternal garnet]

not a damn thing

you can't even scan or touch it

[slate tartan]

L

[eternal garnet]

There's a dead one up north-east in the boneyard, for scanning

[slate tartan]

ah ok

[tender wedge]

yes i know that

just i went in a lot of directions from it and havent seen a cave yet

[slate tartan]

why am i hearing rumbling

am i gonna get jumped

[steel shoal]

Maybe

[slate tartan]

truthful answer🙏

[steel shoal]

There, you'll find a hand-drawn map. You can use it to guide you.

[tender wedge]

in the lab?

[steel shoal]

Yes

[real wadi]

what sort of weather is this.

its like minecraft blindness but white

[slate tartan]

yo bro its right next to me

im dead

[steel shoal]

Near the landing pad, there are 2 other ways you can explore. You can climb the ramp on the right, or you can go to the large opening on the left (directions when looking from the dock to the Phi gates)

[slate tartan]

im not exiting my pause screen

@eternal garnet i got jumped

[eternal garnet]

doggo? You were told about flares I think

[slate tartan]

noonon the worm😭

and i lost it when i dies

[tender wedge]

i guess this

[steel shoal]

It is

Did you scan it?

[tender wedge]

and i assume the lab is in the middle

[eternal garnet]

scan the map

[tender wedge]

yes

[slate tartan]

oh nvm it was just a rumble

[steel shoal]

The lab is the large room, with the green gate under

The map is pretty accurate

[slate tartan]

@eternal garnet im alive do i keep going north

im in the cave

am i safe

[eternal garnet]

"the cave"

[real wadi]

go away

[slate tartan]

uhm acient artifact

[real wadi]

also are jelly aquatic animals friendly?

[tender wedge]

then i am pretty bad at reading maps, because i came right and cant find anything XD

[real wadi]

(jellyfish)

[eternal garnet]

they passively sting you with the bottom ends

[steel shoal]

Exit Phi, turn right. There should be a huge opening. Keep going deeper into the area, until you find purple trees.

[slate tartan]

i think im lost

[tender wedge]

if i go right, there is frozen river

[real wadi]

trying to find phi without compass (worst mistake of my life)

[steel shoal]

Yes, that is where you want to go

[slate tartan]

@eternal garnet where do i go from the acient artifact

[real wadi]

the call of the void

[eternal garnet]

did you find a body part? What artifact

[slate tartan]

greenhouse

[eternal garnet]

go north

[slate tartan]

i shall try

i keep hearing rumbling 😭

and again im so scared

i think he spawned in

@eternal garnet when he spawns in does he make a load of sound

[eternal garnet]

rumble, yes

[slate tartan]

and then like

[eternal garnet]

no voice

[slate tartan]

i cant explain the sound

[eternal garnet]

he's got a nice toasty nose

[slate tartan]

mmm a very SHARP pointy nose

i seen this guy

😨

@eternal garnet where do i go now just north?

[eternal garnet]

should be cables just nort or NW

This is the last area north

[slate tartan]

how do i get around big dude

[slate tartan]

hes gone under the ice again so do i sprint north

[steel shoal]

Vehicles are pretty good in that area

[slate tartan]

well i dont have one😭

@eternal garnet spotted the wires do i follow them?

[left marsh]

Why don’t you give it a shot instead of asking?

It’s fine to ask but if you ask about everything the game will be spoiled for you.

[slate tartan]

im very scared im sorry🙏

[plush fjord]

Dw about it ask questions if you want

[left marsh]

No need to apologise, i’m just informing you. It just came out a bit harsh i think.

[tender wedge]

which is the actual cave with the leviathan?

because the red circle was the ||antidote||

[slate tartan]

its alr

[fervent bloom]

It's located ||at the radio mast||.

[tender wedge]

found it

[lilac kraken]

lets say i find a little ||worm|| and I am a bit lost. ||Where i can find a little friend mechanical part that i can scan? Any idea how to not be tossed arround while doing so?||

[tender wedge]

once i am done with the serum, there is nothing to do on the lands, right?

||i finish up the architecht and bb||

[lilac kraken]

||i heard my friend saying that the part was nearby, but I was a bit worried of something else to search||

[fervent bloom]

I believe you were told to head northeast.

[fervent bloom]

Do you have the ||two trivalve eggs|| from the ||Arctic Spires||?

[lilac kraken]

thanks

[tender wedge]

probalby not, i only have the core of the architect atm

but i have no further pinpoints at the moment

[lilac kraken]

found it

[tender wedge]

Like no beacons at all

[eternal garnet]

the game is not really beacon driven

[fervent bloom]

That can be expected, as they get less frequent as you advance.

[eternal garnet]

it is driven by exploration

[left marsh]

It’s useful because it encourages exploration

[tender wedge]

Okay but i dont want to explore each cave in the game one by one without an actual map

[fervent bloom]

This is less than ideal, as exploring caves without a map is rather important.

[tender wedge]

Huh?

[fervent bloom]

My point is that the game is built on exploring and finding out what's in different caves.

[eternal garnet]

whether you use maps or not is just a preference

[tender wedge]

Yes, but I wanna advance in the story

I dont really care about exploring

[brazen timber]

anyone know a mod that adds fences? like GOOD fences for outside. id like to make a pen for land animals outside

[last coyote]

Glitched the prawnsuit into third person

Nevermind I glitches the whole game

Its all third person

Rip

[eternal garnet]

save (if you must), load game

[slate tartan]

is it normal to be petrified of the ice worm😭

[eternal garnet]

maybe the first 2 times

[slate tartan]

when i was 1st doing idk why i was so scared

got the ||tissues tho🙏||

[plush fjord]

Why do you need tissues for a big worm

[slate tartan]

for the ||architect||

it’s a component

[plush fjord]

Ohhh

I thought you meant blowing your nose tissues

[steel shoal]

I think the tissues are for something else...

[lilac kraken]

I first encountered today, I just run, never wanting to know what the heck was behind me.

[fervent bloom]

How are you not curious?

[eternal garnet]

the worm is really cool though, when it eats a doggo

must-see

[fervent bloom]

I feel that it's cool when it attacks or eats Robin as well.

[lilac kraken]

because a giant worm with a blazing horn is chasing me like it has no soul?

[fervent bloom]

I thought you didn't know what it was...

[lilac kraken]

I did known, but it was the first time that i actually have seen one like, really close.

[stone orbit]

chelicerate😌

chelicerate’s mouth☠️

[lilac kraken]

it was very terrifying for my first impression, i liked it a lot.

it was cool, sadly i was going knocked out of my snowfox a lot of times, it was a mix of emotions of frustation and despair.

[stone orbit]

are you on the island with phi robotics

[fervent bloom]

They are an amazing design, and quite threatening, at least when you don't have a Prawn suit. The Snowfox can be frustrating with them, so walking isn't the worst idea.

[hexed nacelle]

What Is phi robotics

[lilac kraken]

robotics with phi

[fervent bloom]

It's one of the Alterra bases, and the place where Sam Ayou worked.

[lilac kraken]

spoiler: ||an area that you can explore, an alterra base||

[hexed nacelle]

Aaaah

[lilac kraken]

||yes, I am.||

[hexed nacelle]

Ok

[stone orbit]

i go there all the time in pursuit of ores in ore veins, ive never run into him

[lilac kraken]

you got lucky

I only found him, almost all the times

[stone orbit]

how does he attack, just at random or does he actually track you

[eternal garnet]

noise. maybe

I'm not sure

[fervent bloom]

The ice worm works in an unusual way, as it's essentially a damaging animation. There's not one entity, but it is attracted to noise.

[lilac kraken]

||What I understand was, it tracks mostly where you are, and when it gets near it attacks, if you are in a vehicle i think you can dodge a "stun" or getting knocked of the snowfox by jumping in the right time, or just gettin the heck outta there.||

[stone orbit]

in SN official, we don’t use wiki, we have andy

[fervent bloom]

Hopefully, I can provide some of the same information.

[stone orbit]

you are just as helpful

[lilac kraken]

I found some strange eggs in the area of ||the ice worm, 2 of them||, how did i hatch them?

[fervent bloom]

You need to scan and build an alien containment unit, add a hatch on the side, drop them, and wait.

[lilac kraken]

thanks, I was a bit confused because i found them outside of the water

[fervent bloom]

That makes sense, but any egg you can pick up can be dropped and hatched inside without a problem.

[lilac kraken]

thanks again! Im tired of playing for now, but I will try this another time

[real wadi]

never saw a random recource generation bug before

[left marsh]

Oh it does happen.

Either you don’t see the material entirely or you just get good resource spawns

[real wadi]

so uhhhhhhh do i just go to pilots last known location now?

since im abit confused on the next line

i tried to find phi but failed

[smoky barn]

what do u do after getting your seaglide cause idk where to find the ||radio tower||

[real wadi]

explore

you will get a message from your pda taht goes along the lines of ||alterra signal detected||
