Close zip. Load game

I used F1 to get the batch number (14,17,5)

[inner parrot]

omg legend! it worked! ive been tryna figure this out for hours! Thank you!

[eternal garnet]

nice. If steam or the game didn't mess it up, this could be caused by extra files in the zip, from a restore

possible entire 14 zip is bad, but it's not critical

[inner parrot]

yeah no worries! im just happy i can progress more hahaha, thanks for the help!

[cloud wharf]

I recommend y'all download a "Subnautica Pets BZ" mod. Y'all can have pet snow stalker if you'll do so

[eternal garnet]

I want a pet jukebox. Small

[fervent bloom]

The pets just appear in your base, right? What happens if you deconstruct it?

[cloud wharf]

Idk, they are spawning from cheat menu

So most likely will despawn

But you can have pet pengling, pet pengwing, pet pinnacarid and pet baby snow stalker

Idk about grown one

[fervent bloom]

I would assume not, as they're large enough that they couldn't necessarily fit through a standard habitat compartment.

[cloud wharf]

Yeah. That sad

[fervent bloom]

Is there a "Subnautica Pets" mod for the original game?

[cloud wharf]

Yep, but all of the pets are quite uhh idk how to say

Crabsquid, crawler, blood crawler

I don't think anyone wants these

[fervent bloom]

I've always wanted a pet cave crawler. I wonder, could you achieve a similar effect with the propulsion cannon?

[cloud wharf]

Alien robot tho

[cloud wharf]

Please, don't :D
He is your pet, or you meant like walk him?

[fervent bloom]

Can you drag one into your base through a moonpool?

[steel shoal]

Baby skyray <3333

[cloud wharf]

No, but you can craft him ( 😭 )

I can send you a link

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1317?tab=description

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero/mods/228
And probably this if you want

?

[fervent bloom]

Have you tried dragging them through a moonpool?

[cloud wharf]

I hope they'll add one soon, i love skyrays.

[cloud wharf]

I never tried this mod myself, but probably will do a bit later

I wanna try BZ one for now

[steel shoal]

There's a problem with this, though. Base lighting doesn't affect creatures/items. If you build in dark areas, you'd need Creepvines/flares/lights on the exterior

[cloud wharf]

I hope i did everything correctly

[fervent bloom]

I know, unfortunately. You could always fill the interior of your base with light sticks, though.

Back on the topic of Below Zero, apparently you can place light sticks on the walls of Seatruck modules...

[steel shoal]

woa...

I lit up the entire mountain with lightsticks, I should probably do the same in Delta

Maybe light up the Arctic Spires path for my Snowfox?

[fervent bloom]

Do you ever use them to mark your way?

[eternal garnet]

you might make your game laggy, by editing large areas

[cloud wharf]

Nope, i did something wrong :(

[steel shoal]

But they look so cool. If it gets laggy, I'll start a new save (I still only have one)

[fervent bloom]

I could start a new one, but I'm running out of space, especially since other people need to save their games as well.

[cloud wharf]

Dude, i just realised for some reason i need to get SUBNAUTICA bepinex for a BELWO ZERO mod 😭

This is NOT okay

This mod sucks, i can't understand what to do even if i am doing everything like guy from tutorial said

Bruh, and for original subnautica pets i need legacy tmod, this is NOT okay 😭

[steel shoal]

If you need help, #subnautica-modding might guide you better than us

[cloud wharf]

I mean, i did everything like guy from guide said. It's supposed to work, but it doesn't, either i am suck either the guide is outdated

But i'll try tho

[proven lark]

I made 6 ion power cells today

That was so many ion cubes and gold and lithium and silver

Especially silver…

[worldly zenith]

Why can't I put a scanner room here

Oh wait nvm

[smoky barn]

where do i get a parallel processing unit

[bold monolith]

In the Mercury II wrecks.

[next canyon]

man running from ice worms with a snowfox is intense... like seriously

[cloud wharf]

I love finding al-ans bones (or it was skin, i don't remember) while escaping from ice worm

[next canyon]

when should i get a prawn suit?

[next canyon]

how problematic could an ice worm encounter be while you are in a prawn suit?

[elder spoke]

He pecks quite strong, 25 damage to Prawn

[next canyon]

also are ice worms only found on the side ||across the bridge|| or are they everywhere?

[elder spoke]

||Arctic Spires only||

[next canyon]

God dang i oneshot a snow stalker with my prawn

now i STALK THEM

[potent niche]

How do i get snow stalker fur

i unlocked the fur suit but those things are not gonna let me take their fur 💀

I stabbed one with my thermoblade a couple of times but it ended up grabbing me and trying to eat me so i doubt thats the way to do it

[elder spoke]

Pengwing robots

[potent niche]

dont think ive unlocked those yet

i have a mini pengling one actually if thats what you mean idk if there’s more types of them like a pengwing and a pengling?

but imma try it and see what happens thanks

[brazen timber]

anyone know a mod that adds back that the floodlights can take batteries for below zero? id like to power them without a base close by.

[steel stream]

It's the spy pengling. And you also need to craft the remote. Other option to get fur is to collect it on the floor of the caves they live in. In any case, killing is not needed.

[potent niche]

Oh okay cool thanks

[cloud wharf]

@potent niche @stoic crest Ok, let's talk there ig

[potent niche]

I havent actually finished bz

but i think i know what the ice worm thing is from the trailer

[cloud wharf]

Oh, ouch. Where are you at right now?

[potent niche]

i need to disable the alterra tower so maida can tell me about sam

[stoic crest]

me either i got about half way through the story and my pc started hating the game. even with a small basic base i was getting terrible fps. im gunna replay it proper when i get my new cpu

[potent niche]

I have found two of the blue prints for the thing

need one more

[potent niche]

Damn rip

Hope that doesnt happen for me 🙏

ok

[cloud wharf]

||All i can say is; we DON'T know apex predator for now, but all we know that apex predators of it's enviroment are sea dragon for the island where we were at original subnautica and ice worms for bz planet||
BUT!

[stoic crest]

you should be fine it's not a super demanding game my pc just sucks my cpu is from 2011

[cloud wharf]

||Y'all remember the dead body of ice worm at the bridges?||

It means that they are NOT apex predators

[stoic crest]

.......

[cloud wharf]

The body was fresh

[potent niche]

🤔 🤔

[stoic crest]

id rather not find out what killed it.

[potent niche]

I mean i havent gotten to that bit yet

but it couldve died to the environment no?

[cloud wharf]

Lmao, maybe the another ice worm?

[stoic crest]

could be?

[cloud wharf]

This body was very small compared to the one we seen alive

[potent niche]

the thing is

[stoic crest]

or could be a living version of the frozen leviathan

[potent niche]

the next game is gonna be on another planet

so are we ever gonna find out?

[stoic crest]

oof.

[cloud wharf]

Nope, the body was fresh. There is no way it could be him

[stoic crest]

but im saying what if it was a living one. what if there is another one that's still alive?

[potent niche]

Possible

[stoic crest]

unlikely tho as im sure we'd have SOME sign of a creature that big being around

[potent niche]

maybe it only lives deep in the void

[cloud wharf]

Unlikely, we explored entire biome of BZ and found NO other frozen levi, and they are unlikely to live in the void because there is no way they could to right to the iceburg in the middle of map from the void

That the problem

[potent niche]

Man

There goes my theory out the window fr 💀

[cloud wharf]

Womp womp

[potent niche]

The most logical thing would be that another ice worm killed it

[stoic crest]

well being that we found the frozen leviathan compleley encased in ice beggs the question of how it got there in the first place? did it die float up and then freeze? or did it bore thruoght the ice in its life like the ice worms do? or was it placed there by another creature or the architects?

[cloud wharf]

It's body was more than okay. It for sure got frozen in the ice burg long ago, maybe global cooling on the planet of 4546, that may be tho

[storm escarp]

Before, it was the Frozen and Gargantuan...

[stoic crest]

you know what?/

the architects thermal plant...

hear me out real quick

[cloud wharf]

Honestly, i would LOVE to play new subnautica as a archeologist because they are stronger than even maximum upgraded prawn suit, but the problem is.. It's hard to imagine a plot for archeologist because all they came for on 4546B is for minerals and thing

[potent niche]

imagine a mod where you could play as the leviathans

[cloud wharf]

Ah, yes. I would LOVE to play as leviathan and eternally eat fish and wait when a human in prawn suit would kill me

[storm escarp]

As much as I enjoy it, I don't like killing leviathans.

I'd love a mod where I could tame them.

[cloud wharf]

I really NEED to kill a single reaper in original subnautica and one shadow before entering crystal caves

[cloud wharf]

I would LOVE to have pet baby sea emperor, they are very cute in my opinion, but what if other leviathans are also very cute when they are newborn?

[storm escarp]

I killed a reaper in sn, and every shadow in BZ.

[cloud wharf]

I am NOT okay, i am NOT okay, i am not okay, i am not okay

[cloud wharf]

Why you killed exactly EVERY shadow?

[storm escarp]

They were in the way.

[stoic crest]

we know that kharra didn't get to 4546B until the architects brought it with them and they had the outbreak at the disease research facility. well what if sector 0 was not frozen when they landed. what if the giant skeleton in their research facility is the same species as the frozen leviathan and they were bring them from sector 0 to the facility back then and one escaped when the dragon attacked. one infected with kharra . it swims back to sector 0 and dies. its body floats to the surface and sector 0 begins to rapidly cool FROM THE ARCHITECT'S thermal plant sapping all the heat from the core/mantel to power their thermal plant rendering the opposite side of the planet aka sector 0 to have rapid loss of heat. which then causes large ice sheets and icebergs to form over the next 3000 years or so. and THAT'S why we find the leviathan in an iceberg despite knowing it couldn't have gotten infected longer than 3000 years ago.

[cloud wharf]

Why the hell is there is two reaper in bulb zone?

[hollow vector]

this is bz

[cloud wharf]

Hmmm, that good point. But, how else could a dead body get infected? I'm pretty sure that dead bodies ingoring the viruses in total

[cloud wharf]

My bad

[stoic crest]

actually i just looked it up and icebergs form in roughly 3000 years on earth. and the architects were on 4546B less than 1000 years ago which just solidifies my theory mor e

[storm escarp]

I would go ROTA and try to get pet garg, but let's change this to regular chat, so that the people here don't get mad.

[cloud wharf]

So, you want to say that a dead body can get infected by khara? If that is so, then it's quite weird but it's supposed to stop spreading logically

[cloud wharf]

Eh, RotA is disconuted as i remember and baby gargs are like pets

[stoic crest]

we are discussing "advanced theory's" its part of the game.

[cloud wharf]

Yeah. I just realised bz has more lore than subnautica does, but yet peoples calling it boring. Why tho?

[stoic crest]

no im saying it got infected at the alien desease research facility in the main game and then swam its way back to sector 0 where it was orriginally from when the sea dragon busted up the facility. then it died of the infection after reaching sector 0

[stoic crest]

those who dont like below 0 are just mad that there is not cyclops or seamoth lol. but i feel like the seatruck was an awesome way to mix both vehicles into one great machine

[cloud wharf]

Sea truck is way better than sea moth and no one will change my mind ever

[stoic crest]

there's a mod called the phantom submersible. bro if you like the sea truck in bz get that mod for the original game its dope. its a faster much more capable/slightly larger but cool looking seamoth

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/1503

[cloud wharf]

So, it was still alive when sea dragons were babies, correct? And when archeist came to planet 4546B, correct? So, you want to say most likely sea dragons was the infection spreading virus to frozen leviathan and after that he died from global freezing on 4546B? Or like this?

[cloud wharf]

It adds new vehicle or changes one?

Oh, shіt. I just realised we may get warned for spoiling a lot 💀

[stoic crest]

no im saying that the architects had already obtained a frozen lev and had it contained at the research facility. when the adult sea dragon attacked that facility it damaged it severely. causing not only kharra to be released into the environment, but also it caused a frozen lev that was already infected do to the architects running tests on it to escape as well. when it escaped it swam home to its home in sector 0. it then later died of the infection and was frozen as the sector 0 began to rapidly cool do to effects of the architects draining the planets thermal energy to power their operations.

[stoic crest]

adds new one

[cloud wharf]

Hmmm, but still. How did this guy got frozen? Global cooling? Accident?

[stoic crest]

yes global cooling and im suspecting it was a result of the architects thermal plant stealing thermal energy that would normally make its way to sector 0 to keep it warm

[cloud wharf]

Time to read PDA cus i am bored

[stoic crest]

this could explain the lack of life in sector 0 too as opposed to in the crash zone. it seems more baren that could be cuz a lot of the life in sector 0 had to adapt to the cold fast. and some species couldnt do that.

this could explain why we see species like the stalker in bz. a fish obviously made for warm water environments it has little no fat.

[cloud wharf]

Yeah, some like shadow leviathan have hidden in warm biomes such as crystal caves.
Stalkers got fur, peepers upgraded, some creatures most likely got extinct like reapers (or they evolved into shrimp leviathans, unsure)

[stoic crest]

or like the giant hole fish. that could have grown to its size as a form of rapid evolution to try and survive in its new colder environment.

like paul torgal said. knowledge is power

id love to pick margarite maida's mind on the subject. sure she has some stories/info that would help clear some of this up. being she spent more time than any human on planet

ahh yess the relaxation of listening to/ reading peoples last frantic accounts on 4546B

[potent niche]

bz aint as good as subnautica horror wise but it gets a lot of unnecessary hate for no reason

the game is solid in general

[cloud wharf]

For peoples who love subnautica because of atmosphere og is gonna be their favorite, if they love it because of lore and things then bz is for sure gonna be better

[potent niche]

It’s unfair to compare below zero to subnautica

it clearly wasnt meant to be a sequel

it’s like comparing marvels spiderman miles morales to marvels spiderman

[cloud wharf]

I'm pretty sure it's sequel. Or more of DLC

[potent niche]

If it was a sequel the next game wouldve been called subnautica 3

[cloud wharf]

Well, it's DLC then?

[potent niche]

I would say it’s a side game

so yeah ig like it’s own dlc

[cloud wharf]

Idk, it's still like what happend on 4546B after some time after Riley left the planet

[potent niche]

i dont like how people are saying it isnt relevant to subnautica

[cloud wharf]

Yeah, a lot of creatures from subnautica, reapers leviathan skull, sea dragons are not related to subnautica at all

[potent niche]

Also charcaters even come back from the first game

and the kharra virus comes back

it is very relevant to the first game lmao

[cloud wharf]

Yeah, but only for once

But still related

[potent niche]

Well i mean

the game doesnt need to relate to the first ones story the entire time

it is IT’S OWN GAME

that’s how I see it anyway

[thin bolt]

😄

Or should I put this into the memes section

Probably the memes, I'm gonna do that

[carmine bobcat]

BZ is a good game on its own, but compared to the original, it doesn’t stand up to it

[plush fjord]

Yeah that seems to be the general consensus

[hollow vector]

hello to you too

[elder spoke]

Admiral hat guy

[hollow vector]

well, hes dead now

hello. should I kill you as well?

[steel stream]

No need

[hollow vector]

I wanna scan him

[steel stream]

Then scan, no need to kill for that

[hollow vector]

sure, ill do that

I died

[hollow vector]

kinda missing my old server. all of these were gonna be bioreactor fuel

[left tapir]

I am feeling way to annoyed to play the game anymore after several crashes experienced to trying to save the game. And for no reason after 2 hours or more not saved. Didnt think much about it the game just gets a error.

The amount of progress loosing in this game due errors are way to much. Atleast the normal subnautica game didnt have that

[finite hill]

I’m kinda far in the game but idk what to do

I met ||marguerit|| and idk what else to do

[steel stream]

Read your pda, there might be clues

[finite hill]

Ok

I looked at the ||satellite tower but I don’t know how to get the thing to disable it ||

Nvm

It’s only the parallel thing I need

[chrome cedar]

Crazy talk

[eternal garnet]

And clue to that in the pda by tower, "gone fishing"

[lofty pasture]

Which are the best/most useful seatruck modules and upgrades, besides depth?

[eternal garnet]

peri defense. Storage, Fabricator

[lofty pasture]

I hate teleportation so much I regret building it

I wish I could recycle it

also OMG I found ||Marguerit||

found the ||snowfox|| blueprint

I don't know how it's supposed to be useful tho

[hollow vector]

bye cruel world

[slate tartan]

how do i find the last architect piece as i dont think alan is gonna mention it

[eternal garnet]

do you mean organs?

[hollow vector]

||crystal castle||

[slate tartan]

yes

[slate tartan]

okok

[eternal garnet]

They are deep. Entrance goes down from ||670m||. Where? ||Crystal caves||

[slate tartan]

ik how to get there but theres a big dude

alot of big dudes

[hollow vector]

use your seatruck perimeter defence or a prawn suit

[slate tartan]

good point

[stone orbit]

||how did alan get out of the fabricator caverns on his own||

[real wadi]

so how dangerous are hte worms again?

[eternal garnet]

bring a lot of medkits

[real wadi]

is three enough

[stone orbit]

i never got hit by the worm

[real wadi]

for now, same

[stone orbit]

i just lost 80% of my health to a snow stalker

[real wadi]

i see some stalkers

do i just fight them or what

ehhhhhh ill make a runfight for it

[stone orbit]

now hear me out

[real wadi]

what could go wrong

[stone orbit]

snow stalkers have fur, which is a mammal trait

and they are directly connected to the stalkers from the first game

meaning they too are mammals

[eternal garnet]

very strange evolution there

[real wadi]

man i wish the worms couldnt clip through ice

so what do i do with the worm

asterix dodge asterix it?

[stone orbit]

but then again there are stalker eggs

[potent niche]

💀

evil mf

[stone orbit]

agahaha the classic “cute lovable creature in bioreactor”

so original right folks

im crying laughing

[real wadi]

so how do i get teh fur from stalkers

how much times do i have to cut them

i wonder how to get my prawn suit there

[eternal garnet]

cutting them doesn't work, as you should have noticed. Use the spy pengling

or, find in some caves. Like the cave south of the south lake

Hold a flare to keep doggos away

[real wadi]

brh

[real wadi]

and the worm too

i mean

[eternal garnet]

Hold a worm?

[real wadi]

i dodged it

[next canyon]

does the game ever REQUIRE you to go to the ||frozen leviathan||

[real wadi]

but i dont know for how long i can last

[eternal garnet]

no

The game doesn't require you to see all the cool stuff

[next canyon]

so you just have to find it by exploring at will?

[eternal garnet]

yes, with some clues, pdas, map

[real wadi]

are you serious,

i sorted my ion cubes and now i have to get some beacuse of the portal

[next canyon]

what is this weird sample thing

[slate tartan]

huge spolier|| but you find an antidote around the corner and you put it in that machine and it cures it||

[eternal garnet]

well, not around the corner. 200m away

[slate tartan]

how the hell do i get to the ||fabricator base|| 😭

ive been wandering aimleesly

[eternal garnet]

go east in crystals, past the ||organs. New crystals. Go to the bottom, 950m||

[slate tartan]

im in the red ones ive gone east but ill try again my truck keeps bumping in things

i go east and its just the same wall i see

[eternal garnet]

once in the red, go down, and north-east

[slate tartan]

right ok will do

i was right next to it💀

@eternal garnet is there lituim down in the red

[eternal garnet]

I don't remember

[slate tartan]

alr

was not expecting that😳

[feral rune]

tbh i really wish there were more base pieces.

like rn i really need a glass T base piece.

[chrome cedar]

I hear that. Also the X piece.

[feral rune]

yes.

and while most just say "Add windows" it isnt the same.

[steel shoal]

Unfortunately, those pieces would barely show any glass.

[chrome cedar]

Also wish I could do a 45 degree rotation…

[feral rune]

facts.

i wanna place things on the shelves.

[chrome cedar]

They should try harder then. LoL

[feral rune]

but i cant because all of my placeable decor pieces found in the wild are in a vault 500m down.

and i cannot be bothered to find the exact spot.

[slate tartan]

that left on such a cliffhanger bro😭 ]

[steel shoal]

X compartments don't have much space, and T compartments would only be glass on one side. I want T compartments, but X... doesn't feel impactful

[feral rune]

heres another thing.

[steel shoal]

Waiting for BZ 2 🙏 🙏 🙏

[slate tartan]

NEED

[feral rune]

make the observatory floor easier to see through

like. i built a base to look at the ground and stuff. not to get a blurry thing

[steel shoal]

Or make the observatory ladder actually work?? Why doesn't it?

[feral rune]

wheres the ladder?

[steel shoal]

It literally has a hatch for the ladders, in the middle

[feral rune]

oh yea

[chrome cedar]

Maybe it needs a glass ladder?

[steel shoal]

Unfortunately, vertical connectors are too tall

[feral rune]

...

sir. do you hear yourself?

[chrome cedar]

Of course. 😂

[steel shoal]

We need a 50% height vertical connector so it fits beneath the observatory

[slate tartan]

im gonna be bored till subnautica 2😭

[chrome cedar]

Stretch to fit…

[feral rune]

yea. i would love for some more decor pieces.

new height connectors make my cave base easier.

ill send screenshot of it when i get the chance

[steel shoal]

Stretching titanium and glass doesn't seem very practical

[chrome cedar]

Subnautica 2: Bases Loaded

[feral rune]

yea stretching that stuff doesnt usually work without a hell of a lot of heat.

[steel shoal]

In SN and BZ, bases are always loaded

This may cause lag, especially with long bases

[feral rune]

eh i was talking like Conan Exiles level of decoration objects. like hundreds of choices but i know that is impossible.

[chrome cedar]

If they’d stop trying to render things that can’t be seen…. 😂

[steel shoal]

I think using items and other props would be enough

[feral rune]

i want mini fishtanks.

so that way i can have a peeper on a desk.

[steel shoal]

Oh, that's quite cute

Wish we could make our own logs

[feral rune]

i wish just for more PDAs

i need more stuff to read. im tired of reading and listening to the same ones.

cave base.

still a work in progress.

[steel shoal]

How are the sharks?

I like to think they're twins

[feral rune]

the brute sharks and squidsharks?

[steel shoal]

The two Squidsharks

[feral rune]

theres no hostile creatures where this base is. i think i know what you mean tho

[steel shoal]

There are two, somewhere in the middle of the biome. Do you often feed them?

[feral rune]

i feed the sharks yes.

but this base is under the twisty bridges

the two squidsharks are at one of my other bases i think

beautiful area tbh

[unkempt vale]

i lovw the athmosphare of below zero and the cool view

[feral rune]

yea

[fervent bloom]

I prefer it to Subnautica, partly for these reasons.

[feral rune]

i dropped my heatknife into a cave. with a squidshark. do i grab it?

[worldly zenith]

How do I get to ancient artifact Q59

Do I go through the deep twisty bridges or is there another way

[worldly zenith]

Is there a leviathan by pk8

[west mountain]

||Yes, a cheli is patrolling the area||, but you might know the answer already by this time 🙂

[west mountain]

Its inside ||Koppa mining site||

[cloud wharf]

It's just for me those uhhh things looks like ||sea emperors|| tentacles?

[west mountain]

Sort of but not really. Sea Emperor has scales, but these are more barnecals. But I get your association

[cloud wharf]

Idk, for me those looks like exactly like her tentacles

[west mountain]

No, they dont, but sort of they do.

[cloud wharf]

This

Oh

Maybe

[west mountain]

Either they reused the pattern or they came up with the same idea twice. But yes, there is a good amount of similarity, maybe tweeked a bit

[elder spoke]

I dont know

I only know that those coral bridges were cut from SN

[steel shoal]

The only similarity is the blue glow. Barnacles have a line across them, and have a large base, while the Emperor only has blue dots along its tentacles.

[pure quartz]

oh srry i didnt saw #🏠awesome-bases channel

[smoky barn]

where do u get spiral plant clippings

[steel shoal]

Purple Vents cave or ||inside Ventgardens||

[smoky barn]

uh

are ventgardens ||the big jellyfish looking things with plants in them||

[steel shoal]

Yes

[smoky barn]

ty

how do u enter ventgardens tho

[steel shoal]

It has a mouth

[smoky barn]

at the bottom right?

[steel shoal]

Yes

[smoky barn]

but when i tried to enter it had a barrier thing

i couldnt go in

😭

[steel shoal]

Strange, it usually allows you

Unless it was a juvenile

[smoky barn]

it prob was

it felt a little small

[steel shoal]

The adult ones have a Chelicerate nearby, and don't move

[elder spoke]

||Teddy! :D||

[floral olive]

How to make sushi factory

[feral rune]

i decided to let the squidshark have it. i am not going inside any area with a squidshark

[cloud wharf]

Why SHE is allowed to have pet stalker, but we don't

[feral rune]

it is time for the great labeling of my base.

[feral rune]

i know i want a pet snow stalker too.

[next canyon]

will i find out what it is later in the game?

i wont spoil it for myself

[feral rune]

Why are there blood vines?

i didnt plant those.

[lofty pasture]

I don't think I'll build the snowfox

like

it's useless

[steel shoal]

It's very fun, but not useful

It's my favorite vehicle in both games

[lofty pasture]

stupid marguerit at least you could have teached me how to make your stylish prawn suit

[lofty pasture]

my absolute fav is the seatruck tbh

[steel shoal]

It's very fun too, I like it

[torn barn]

Though a bum to steer if you have more than like 4 modules

[elder spoke]

I've noticed interesting thing

When i play Below Zero, i dont feel stress at all, even from presence of enemies like Chelicerate (despite they are kinda the analog of Reapers)

[feral rune]

how big are the void Chelicerates compared to normal ones?

because they feel massive.

[molten heron]

like 0,5x bigger

[feral rune]

that is not a lot

[molten heron]

yeah ik

but they are like 5x more aggresive

the cheli is not that aggresive

i was swiming next to him and he didnt even care

[feral rune]

yea i was asking because i have a void base

i call the Chelicerate an oversized shrimp

[molten heron]

damn

that is nice

[molten heron]

i call it reaper v2 xddd

or ''beast''

[feral rune]

lol

i used to think the reaper was a stalker that just got mutated by the radiation from the ship.

i was dumb

[molten heron]

lol

at first i didnt know that reaper is blind

i tought he can see you

[feral rune]

i used to hide from it and move rapidly. then i wondered how it found me

[molten heron]

😂

i just love subnautica games

i cant wait to see subnautica 2

and thei leviathans

[steel shoal]

I don't see the resemblance between Chelicerates and Reapers. They almost feel like Adult Ghosts, always on their own, very pretty to watch too.

BZ is not as scary, but a lot prettier than SN, in my opinion.

[feral rune]

the only creatures in the entire subnautica games that i fear are the reapers and the crashfish.

mostly because i cannot hide from the reapers. and i cannot knife the crashfish.

[steel shoal]

You can slash the crashfish, it'll greatly reduce the damage

[elder spoke]

Similar amount of Health, approximately same amount of damage and can grab vehicles too

Only difference is Chelicerates are less mobile

[steel shoal]

Void Chelicerates are immune to PDS

Health is a meaningless stat, and Adult Ghosts do deal similar damage as Reapers

Maybe it's the mandibles

I think Squidsharks are the hyper-aggressive, overused predators, like Reapers

[molten heron]

yea but i like more the leviathans in SN than BZ

[feral rune]

is the blade on ||marguerit's prawn suit|| a reaper mandible or one from the chelicerate?

[molten heron]

yes

[steel shoal]

It's from a young Chelicerate

[feral rune]

noted.

i wish we could customize our prawn suit like that

[elder spoke]

Okay, fair enough

[feral rune]

i want a sword for my mech lol

[elder spoke]

And yeah, agree

[molten heron]

did u guys saw the silent leviathan from COTV?

[steel shoal]

Like the PDA says, the blade is not useful, but the thrusters would be cool

[molten heron]

great leviathan concept

just love it

[steel shoal]

It's very edgy. Literally, full of spikes.

[molten heron]

its perfect but i think its a little to big

they can reduce like -0,5x

[steel shoal]

I feel BZ leviathans are much more complex and better well put together.

Though the Chelicerate sometimes feels unnecessarily big. At least it's not loooooong like SN1 did with most creatures

[molten heron]

yea

i hope they will make minimum 6-7 leviathans on the next game

i find the most important and beautiful about SN

the levis

[steel shoal]

I don't think the amount of leviathans is important, but rather their impact

[molten heron]

yeah that is true

[steel shoal]

Sea Treaders don't feel like leviathans

[molten heron]

i heard rumors that the SN2 will actually be like the past of SN and it will also be the gargantuan

[steel shoal]

Rumors are wrong

SN2 will be in a completely different planet

[molten heron]

YEA FR like the first time i scaned them and saw that they are levis i was like wt

[molten heron]

yea?? for me it looks the sime as the first

the picture they put

[feral rune]

tbh the gargantuan is kinda out of place in the subnautica world without mods. like in vanilla it shouldnt exist since all of them went extinct

[steel shoal]

The Gargantuan Leviathan was made as a fossil, and doesn't work as a creature. They look silly and way too large for poor consoles

[molten heron]

i mean look

its almost the same

[steel shoal]

Uhm... but it's a new planet

Every coral reef looks like that

[molten heron]

we will see

[feral rune]

that implies that the rocket failed to get to an alterra thing if SN2 is just like the first game.

[steel shoal]

The devs have confirmed it's 100% in a new planet

[molten heron]

i love the graphic quality too...i just love it

Unreal engine 5...damn

[molten heron]

ohh,ty for leting me know

[feral rune]

jukebox in first subnautica when? i wanna vibe to my music as i sit in the void

[molten heron]

there is a jukebox in the first subnautica

[steel shoal]

I don't think they can add it without adding any music

[feral rune]

there is? i never realized.

[steel shoal]

There isn't

[molten heron]

the last time i logged in it was

or im blind idk

[steel shoal]

You imagining things, or playing modded

[molten heron]

could be option one

what do you like more? SN or BZ?

[steel shoal]

Control Room makes sense to not be in SN, as according to the lore, it was still being tested, and poor Jasmine... yea

[feral rune]

BZ gives more freedom in the world. but SN has more memories for me.

[steel shoal]

I prefer like both, but for completely different reasons. They feel distinct enough. I personally prefer BZ though. OST is so 💖 💖 💖 💖

Ben Prunty is soooo cool, glad he's sticking around for SN2

[molten heron]

the story i love it more in BZ but like the map i like it more in SN becouse its bigger and like harder...the biomes are more beautiful in BZ but i like more the leviathans and how open can be the map in SN, i feel like both are equal of quality

[feral rune]

ima be honest. SN wins for music.

all of the soundtracks are amazing

[molten heron]

YEA

clearly SN.

[steel shoal]

Ehh

[steel shoal]

SN feels sparse, many times

[molten heron]

but there is one i really like in BZ, ''cathedral''

[steel shoal]

The best of the best, Cathedral is the best song in the franchise ✨

[molten heron]

yea i love it to

[steel shoal]

But you should give it another listen, Spy Pengling and Mirage Machine are pretty good too

[molten heron]

i love that the SN2 map will be bigger than the SN1

and the SN1 is really big

[molten heron]

2km ??

[steel shoal]

big isn't always good, I'll be disappointed if half of the map is like Sea Treader's Path. Just empty and boring.

[elder spoke]

I like that BZ has many important moments on the land

Not only water

[steel shoal]

Land sections feel improved, now with clearer paths and Snowfox <3

[molten heron]

i love to be more bigger and also pe important but a little boring than smaller like BZ

i think BZ is too little

[molten heron]

i find snowfox usefull,its really fun but just usefull my opinion

[steel shoal]

BZ's size is fine, the story requires you going back and forth, and a bigger map would be quite annoying

[feral rune]

ok i might get hate for this but a lot of the stuff in BZ just doesnt feel like subnautica.

[steel shoal]

You mean useless? I agree, but the fun factor is important

[steel shoal]

Give more details

[elder spoke]

Playing tag with that ice worm

[molten heron]

oh yea xd idk why did i said useful. yeah, useless

[feral rune]

it feels like some of the stuff in the game just doesnt belong. like the seatruck teleport module.

[molten heron]

ohh

[steel shoal]

It feels like what it is - alien infused technology

And the huge power consumption feels very human - inefficient

[molten heron]

it have more technology bc its after SN1 timeline

[steel shoal]

Yes, and there's an alien in your head, with access to your PDA

[molten heron]

when technology is more advanced

[feral rune]

why are there ladders in the moonpool? dont yall just dolphin jump into the base?

[elder spoke]

For me it's fun, and plus it confirms that Ryley possible sold his PDA (and possible cargo from the rocket) information to Alterra and therefore, mankind

So there is now human/alien stuff

[steel shoal]

Ryley did return home, and Alterra did have access to him and his PDA. Possible that debt was lifted, he landed and huge profit for both.

[molten heron]

sorry for asking i forgot a little piece of the lore,who was Ryley? the sister of the main character in BZ?

[steel shoal]

As we learn from BZ, Alterra is not as cartoonishly evil as depicted in SN. They're humans too, and open exceptions when needed

[feral rune]

did anybody else actually survive the first game aside from ryley?

[steel shoal]

No, that's Sam. Ryley is the character you play as in SN

[steel shoal]

1 single survivor from Aurora - Ryley. I think that means no.

[molten heron]

wait...isnt ryley a girls name??

[feral rune]

yikes.

[steel shoal]

Ryley is a gender neutral name.

[molten heron]

ohh

[feral rune]

yea

[steel shoal]

As is Andy, and Sam, and Robin

[elder spoke]

Interesting trick actually

[molten heron]

yea but didnt know about Ryley,thx xd

[feral rune]

i have like... 50 songs on my jukebox in BZ

im just vibing while i hear things in the void scream

[molten heron]

my favorite one is diving into deep

[steel shoal]

I only listen to Mirage Machine these days. Or "Jukebox one" as it calls it.

Rite of the Deep is very relatable though

[feral rune]

just a bit of vibing

i dont rename them after downloading them so yea.

[molten heron]

12,5k power??how big is your base

[feral rune]

uhh. quite large.

this is my void base. my main base has ran out of power and i refuse to repower it.

[molten heron]

can u make a photo or its to dark?

[elder spoke]

Nuclear power 💖

[feral rune]

i will try when the void bois go away.

[molten heron]

the kids ❤️

[mellow geode]

Should've gone with thermal

[feral rune]

the even more oversized shrimp.

[feral rune]

i go with nuclear. but i ran out of reactor rods.

[steel shoal]

How?? The ship has so many...

[mellow geode]

There's so many heat sources in BZ, not using thermal is like punishing yourself

[feral rune]

well.... lemme go find my base rq.

i built it near the greenhouse.

because i thought the food respawns.

[molten heron]

the best biome to build a base is the one where the wales are

[elder spoke]

Do you mark your bases at least?

[steel shoal]

Arctic Spires is my favorite

[feral rune]

mhm. i sure do.

with some choice words for certain ones.

[molten heron]

i have it like where its the edge of the starting iceberg

[feral rune]

got more power just now thank god.

it takes a solid 45 minutes to explore it all

[steel shoal]

Ight chat, should I touch boiling water? I'm cooking

[molten heron]

nahhhh

[feral rune]

no. do not touch it.

please for the love of god do not touch it.

[molten heron]

do not let the voices win

[steel shoal]

Okay chat, you won over the voices

[feral rune]

thank god

[molten heron]

W

[steel shoal]

Where do you usually go for quartz?

I'm thinking about visiting the World's Edge, but you might know a better place

[feral rune]

i find it pretty much everywhere.

[molten heron]

what app was good to make 3d creatures? id like to start making leviathans on my own

[steel shoal]

Blender? Idk

[steel shoal]

Large deposits?

[molten heron]

alr ty

[elder spoke]

||This cube looks like that vault thing from HL:Alyx||

[feral rune]

yea. i get my supply from the mining site.

[steel shoal]

It looks gorgeous

[feral rune]

AUGHHH

my game crashed. right as i was about to save.

bye bye 3 hours of progress.

[steel shoal]

Awful feeling, but quite relatable

[feral rune]

im tempted to just remove all the reactors in my main base and just let it be dark.

forgotten.

since i rarely use it and the base is NOT at all useful to me.

[steel shoal]

Simply go to control room, turn off power distribution

Activate when necessary

[feral rune]

yea here is the problem.

my control room.

it is 500m below the base.

[safe sun]

So the usefulness of your base is tied directly to your own design? lol

Is the lightswitch mod still a thing? I loved that one.

[feral rune]

it was designed as a bunker.

[steel shoal]

Well, there's already a button in the Control Room, unsure if they made the mod for BZ

[feral rune]

WAIT

caps sorry.

there is a button that just turns off all of the power in a base?

meaning i do not have to click the halls and rooms in the little control room hologram?

[steel shoal]

I think so

Not sure

It's probably in the power/clock panel

[feral rune]

alright

[worldly zenith]

Yeah I was like right next to it and accidentally left my sea truck 😭🙏

[feral rune]

i finally did it. the great labeling of my base is done.

so much copper wire. so much stuff.

[fast tangle]

While doing a run, I got the headlamp. Only to realise, I never able to make a good use of it. Is it the most useless thing in this game.

Or there's any good use of it?

[eternal garnet]

but still these exist: prawn torpedo arm, air pump, pathfinder tool

it's good when you don't need the rebreather

[fast tangle]

So in other words, its mostly not good.

Because when do you not use rebreather

Even on land for night, it's might still be useless, cause I need cold helmet.

Or maybe not, cause there are caves to help in cold. I will try this on land in this run.

[eternal garnet]

yes you do fairly well without the helmet

[fast tangle]

Does it drain?

[eternal garnet]

the lamp? no

[fast tangle]

Ok, gotta try.

[fast tangle]

Cool, otherwise I have to keep day night cycle check for this.

Anyway, I now think, there should be one more slot for this over the mask, just like compass and scanner hud.

This should be a always equip thing together with rebreather.

[left marsh]

I think equipping over a rebreather is a stretch but over a cold suit helmet is definitely needed

[cerulean bane]

Hey uh, any tips for beginners..?

[eternal garnet]

Save often. Explore everything. This game is about exploration. Sea monkeys may annoy you a lot; just hide your tool (PC: press E). Bring a beacon everywhere. New beacon feature: if you have one and die, it will rename and drop.
The air bladder is now really good. Pin recipes you plan to make.
Have fun. Spoiler free starter guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-GhqzEfMOA

[kindred egret]

Definitly bring at least 2 beacons with you

If you find something good you can mark it and come back later

[fervent bloom]

Scan anything and everything you find, even creatures, plants, and geological formations, and read or listen to all of your PDAs. They offer clues and information.

[cerulean bane]

How do u find the blueprints for the habitat builder, I’ve looked all over the sea monkey nests

[eternal garnet]

Best spot: 120m deep in twisty bridges (the canyon), by a little building. At 170m at a little crane, something else you need

[fervent bloom]

It isn't in sea monkey nests, unfortunately. In addition to the location meatie★swe suggested, it's also found outside Delta Station.

[primal glacier]

hi

[fervent bloom]

Greetings!

[primal glacier]

are you a bot?

[eternal garnet]

are you?

[fervent bloom]

No, I am a human.

[eternal garnet]

That's what they all say

[primal glacier]

ok cuase you be acting like one

[fervent bloom]

What makes you say that?

[eternal garnet]

You are polite, correct and with good grammar

Very sus!

[primal glacier]

well i said hi in both and you repsonded in both saying greetings!

[fervent bloom]

I decided I wanted to say that here rather than elsewhere.

[primal glacier]

no you said the same thing in both channels the off topic channl and this one

an i have to agree with @eternal garnet when he said you were polite correct and with good grammar and i barely do that

[fervent bloom]

Yes, but I saw that you had said the same thing here and deleted the first time I said it.

[primal glacier]

ya i saw that and bots can delete stuff to my knowlege

[primal glacier]

what is that

[eternal garnet]

Leafy sea dragon (sea horse)

it's 10cm

And the blue is a BZ creature for later

[primal glacier]

thats super cool looking

[steel shoal]

A Sea Dragon leviathan would be sooo coool

[stone orbit]

they shouldv added it to the first game

[eternal garnet]

and... they did....

[primal glacier]

what i havent played subnautica in a while cuase i couldnt beat the game but really

[eternal garnet]

yes. not leafy ones, but really big ones

[primal glacier]

cool

[fervent bloom]

I find it hard to believe that they're larger than Ventgardens.

[primal glacier]

what have they added since i stoped playing

[steel shoal]

Bugfixes

And a couple things from BZ, such as large rooms, glass domes, and other QoL changes

[primal glacier]

i know about most of those to help i stoped playing around novmeber 2023

[fervent bloom]

I don't believe anything has changed, then.

[primal glacier]

ya i think its cool that they added the big room from below zero to the orginal game

[fervent bloom]

Why do you think there are some large rooms used in bases the player didn't build that are more compact?

[primal glacier]

maybe more expeinced people

[eternal garnet]

what?
"pilot" has a semi-large room

[fervent bloom]

There are two of them, in fact.

[steel shoal]

Omega Lab is weird too. I think it'd be too complicated to add various Large Room sizes

[fervent bloom]

The hatch-like protrusions without a hatch are strange as well.

[primal glacier]

i do love the holder for the sea truck so the sections of it arent just chilling outside of the base

[fervent bloom]

In ||Phi Robotics||, I discovered that the kitchen features an interior growbed completely blocked by ice...

[cerulean bane]

Where should I build my first base?

[eternal garnet]

near the island, maybe east side

[primal glacier]

i usally build mine near the pod

[fervent bloom]

There are so many good places. What are your favorite biomes?

[cerulean bane]

Uh

Anywhere where most resources are?

I just started playing(

[eternal garnet]

there's a Lot around delta

[primal glacier]

i dont know where this loctaion is but you should build it near the dimaiond mine in case you need them

[eternal garnet]

That's the island. it's south, opposite to the volcano

[cerulean bane]

Do I build it on the island

[steel shoal]

If you want. No hull integrity to worry about.

[cerulean bane]

Sweet

[stone orbit]

“i’ll find my way back”

||proceeds to follow an alien onto his spaceship and to his planet instead||

[carmine bobcat]

relatable

[steel shoal]

I wonder how Cal feels

[carmine bobcat]

gotta be sum alright

[steel shoal]

You could claim he killed Robin and have proof

[stone orbit]

what even happened to her afterwards

in the first game it was suggested that the architects came to earth and influenced a lot of ancient culture, so they must know where earth is

[mellow geode]

What if robin was ||killed since discovering Alan and everything we've done since was just simulation||

[steel shoal]

||I think they're dead and Robin is just keeping Al-An company||

[mellow geode]

Dark

[stone orbit]

frost anemone heart my beloved

[steel shoal]

||I wonder how it feels like. Being alone with an architect. Without family. Without friends. Just you two, in an empty place you've never been to.||

[mellow geode]

Idk, but seems pretty fun if you can hallucinate all sorts of stuff.

[steel shoal]

It'd get repetitive very fast, but you can share each other's cultures

It'd be fun, even if kind of dangerous to get them accustomed to your human needs

[stone orbit]

are those supposed to be like

lungs and kidneys

[steel shoal]

No

They don't need kidneys

They don't have digestive tracks

But the lungs part is possible

[stone orbit]

weird ribcage

[steel shoal]

I wonder if the organs fit

[red perch]

OK......... SO.......... Has anyone ever, first: jumped on the back of a surface level glow whale in a prawn? Second: Climbed out of the prawn onto the whales back, ran with it so you don't fall off, than it dives? Please tell me if anyone has done this before because it led to some strange events for me.

[mellow geode]

strange how

[red perch]

It flings you into the air infinitely. not instantly but at very high speeds

this was on hardcore so i was quite terrified

note the 7281 meteres away

down

that whale yeeted me 8 kilometers into the sky

luckily it snapped me back onto the world on some iceberg 1km away from where i launched so im not dead thank god

[torn barn]

ou more bugs for the wiki maybe

[pure quartz]

where can i send ideas for subnautica?

[potent niche]

I havent played hardcore so im just wondering

is it possible to save the game before you die and then play your old save file if you die?

or does it delete the world or smth like minecraft

[potent niche]

I’m mainly asking this because im wondering if there’s a way to see your world after you die

I don’t wanna make a cool world just to never see it again if i die

[steel stream]

If you are on hardcore, you probably can copy your save files to a different folder on pc and then recover the save if you die. Or alt+F4 before you die to quit without saving. If you're not on hardcore you can simply reload save (and if you die you don't even need to reload as you will spawn in lifepod, seabase or seatruck, depending which you have last visited)

[potent niche]

Oh alright thanks

[steel shoal]

Custom mode is the real hardcore. Regular hardcore is not any different from survival, other than perma death, which is not nice in buggy games

[steel stream]

Another difference is the 'no oxygen alerts' setting, which I think you can also select in custom mode

[steel shoal]

The no oxygen alerts is also a thing in survival, most of the times

I'm not sure what causes it but it might reaching an oxygen source as soon as you get the message, and next time you're below 30 you will not get an alert

[potent niche]

Would you recommend hardcore mode after beating the game for your first time

i mean rn im gotta beat below zero still

I’m like half way through

[steel shoal]

No, I do not recommend

If you want a challenging experience, try Custom mode

[steel stream]

For below zero I would rather recommend custom mode as Andy mentioned: you can alter creature spawns, hostility, damage modifiers etc. And also you don't have to select permadeath to avoid losing a save to a game-ending bug. If you want permadeath, you can manually delete save when dying

(Although based on your previous question you would rather want to by-pass permadeath on hardcore...)

[potent niche]

I’m glad custom mode is a thing

[steel stream]

I'm currently on my second playthrough, using custom with slightly increased creature spawns and damage, and vegan mode selected. Sadly I realized too late that true vegan wouldn't have crafted air bladder...but I did ditch the filtered water bottles from the crash site, since the description says 'non-vegan'

[steel shoal]

The ones in Mercury II are also non-vegan, but you can drink them

[elder spoke]

I take the "non-vegan" thing as a really thin trolling

Good luck being a vegan on some God-forsaken wild planet

[rancid grove]

When is below zero going to go on sale?

[deep kettle]

Games usually don't announce sales until they happen. It also depends on the platform you play on.

[dull zephyr]

Okay I’m off to find some crystals to upgrade my modules.

But I think they are in the cave with the scary leviathan

So what are the tricks to avoid being attacked? Like does it track movement or light?

[fast tangle]

well, sad to say, there is no tricks or anything to avoid being attacked.

[eternal garnet]

There is a very effective trick. Fire perimeter defense at the start of an attack

[steel shoal]

It follows a very predictable path that you can easily notice and avoid. In case you do get attacked, PDS immediately makes it let go of the Seatruck. Standing up (if you have at least one module) will make it ignore you, even if it's already charging at you. The Prawn is defenseless.

[dull zephyr]

Well crap

[eternal garnet]

Right. Leaving the driving seat also stops an attack

Bit cheesy, that one

[dull zephyr]

Okay are there clusters to mine for the crystals or is it going to be like the subnautica first area? So mostly pick ups than mining.

[eternal garnet]

There are down a specific hole, but also singles

[dull zephyr]

So it’s not in the cave I just entered near margaritas base?

[steel shoal]

True. But I'm glad it's a thing, I can just... observe the wildlife in peace.

[eternal garnet]

deeper

So ideally, for mining, bring truck with prawn docked on it

and you don't need to mine here

[dull zephyr]

So I bet it’s in the one hole near the leviathan. And I have to leave my prawn to get into it….

I’m going to cry

[storm escarp]

It shouldn't be able to fit in especially small crevices, and it'll leave you be after a few seconds.

Better idea, do what I did and but a scanner room there with some kind of power module and a few range upgrades, that way, you know where it is.

[dull zephyr]

Okay still scared the hell of me.

[dull zephyr]

Omg that’s a good idea…but means I have to get out to build that

[storm escarp]

You could build it near the entrance of the biome. Should be far enough away to build in peace.

[steel shoal]

Speed*

I think it's been discussed before, range upgrades don't work

[storm escarp]

?

[steel shoal]

It's a bug

[storm escarp]

Oh.

[steel shoal]

Default room already has 500m rage

[storm escarp]

You heard her. Speed upgrades. At least it saves the pain of having to find magnetite.

[dull zephyr]

I’m really crying 😂

There’s 5 of them. Why the heck is there 5!?!?

[storm escarp]

5!?

I thought there were 4!

[potent niche]

What u guys talking about

[storm escarp]

The ||shadow leviathans||

[potent niche]

Oh ngl i saw one of them and just dipped

i am not looking forward to going there

[eternal garnet]

there are a grand total of 4

[potent niche]

In the same biome?!?

thats crazy 😭

[dull zephyr]

Idk I’m getting out to count

[storm escarp]

Yeah. ||Two in crystal caves, two in deep crystal caves?||

[dull zephyr]

I’m literally crying since my Seatruck is at 25 health

Now I’m in room that looks like actual hell with red crystals

[storm escarp]

Deep crystal caves... you're almost there.

[dull zephyr]

Well do I just keep looking or…?

[eternal garnet]

looking for what?

[storm escarp]

If you're going for what I think you are, it's in the deepest part of that biome.

[storm escarp]

||I think he's going for the assembly facility. Where you put Alan's body back together.||

[dull zephyr]

Whatever is in the scary red crystals room. Then Alan won’t stop bugging me about

[eternal garnet]

uh. There's no need to go there until you have 3 blueprints WITH ingredients

That is where you craft ||the body. It's at 960m||

[feral rune]

sometimes i wish that train systems could be made in subnautica.

it could be useful in both games. while using a lot of power would save a lot of people so much time transporting stuff

[dull zephyr]

Well found the room….

But doesn’t look like I have the stuff to use it

[feral rune]

have you met the local thing there yet?

[dull zephyr]

So I went to the scary deep for no reason. I’m really hating Al-an

[dull zephyr]

Oh you mean the scary 4-5 leviathans. Yes I already had about 10 jump scares. Along with when I when to stop driving my character hopped out.

Right in front of it. Then I nearly died but got glitched into my seatruck.

My heart can’t take this 😂

[feral rune]

haha

just wait until you go a little too far into the void and do not realize

[primal glacier]

hi

[hexed nacelle]

Hello people

[next canyon]

can the preston plant thing only be planted in wall pots or smt?

[eternal garnet]

no, but harvesting is easier that way

[next canyon]

how do i get it tho

i dont know how to get the seeds

[feral rune]

||the greenhouse has a lot of it. but you need to do some of the story in order to know where it is.||

[eternal garnet]

fruit have seeds. Except one weird plant

[next canyon]

i got to the place and everything

i was in front of the plant

just didnt know how to get the seeds

[feral rune]

try using a knife on it.

[next canyon]

gives me leaves

[feral rune]

or just grabbing the fruit

[eternal garnet]

not this time. Just get a fruit

[next canyon]

oh

[feral rune]

at this moment i knew i made a mistake.

[next canyon]

guys i have always used cured peepers as my main food source but i see the salad is really good too, should i switch to it?

[thin bolt]

Get a growbed

Some reliable food source which gives good food and water and then your set

[feral rune]

yea. it is much better

[next canyon]

k

[rich ingot]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[next canyon]

dont know what to do with the salt from the filtration machines and my peeper farm tho

eh

always good to have a backup food source

[thin bolt]

Just as spares

[next canyon]

also how many pepper trees and preston's plants should i have? what is the best ratio

[thin bolt]

I have below zero but I haven't played survival yet so I got no clue about that, what I said about the growbed is just what I know from subnautica

[gray wren]

should i make a second drill arm for my prawn? i cannot find the grappling arm for the life of me and i think the second drill arm would maximize my mining efficiency

[thin bolt]

I'm not sure if you can use them both at the same time, I've never tried it

If you want I could quickly get onto my creative to try it and see if it works?

[eternal garnet]

I think it does work

[thin bolt]

ill check hold on, im really curious now

[feral rune]

it does work. just finished a mining trip

2 drills works better

but. it does take a bit more power. so get thermal reactor

and just farm mining area. as theres thermal vents nearby

[rancid grove]

Oh alright thanks anyway, god bless🙏🏻

[thin bolt]

put spoiler on just in case, not sure if i needed to

[feral rune]

how many storage modules is too many?

[eternal garnet]

30 is too many.

[chrome cedar]

I’d recommend two of each plant, this goes for all plants. Just in case you lose one, you can still regrow one more.

[feral rune]

here is something i wonder.

was the ||mining area|| always underwater?

or did it flood?

[fast tangle]

underwater

[feral rune]

ok makes sense but i wasnt fully sure

never seen this before

[eternal garnet]

curious shape

[red perch]

it just kills you. the save button is also the exit button,

[real wadi]

am i the only one who never crafted a flashlight and used the seaglide instead through all of subnautica

[eternal garnet]

you are not

[feral rune]

so does experimental actually add any noticeable things?

[eternal garnet]

not anymore

[feral rune]

uhh yea. its called screw around and find out when you make too much noise in a certain area.

ill try to find a map.

[steel shoal]

There's a map in Delta Station, scan it

The Northwestern area, on the other side of the bridge. The Prawn Suit will make it show up very often

[eternal garnet]

go west-north-west from delta, find the mast, dock and bridge. Fix and cross bridge.

[feral rune]

are there gonna be any more updates for BZ?

[eternal garnet]

unlikely

yes

[feral rune]

you need ||hydraulic fuel||

[eternal garnet]

scan container at your feet on it. Craft, gel sacks and creepvine seeds I think, insert, push button

[feral rune]

was the ||Mercury II|| shot down by the ||Quarantine Enforcement Platform|| from the first game?

[eternal garnet]

you craft hydraulic fluid

[eternal garnet]

yes. Twice. Story in PDAs

[feral rune]

yea i saw that and i was like "an energy beam? oh great it can reach the arctic too"

[steel shoal]

The PDA logs go very in detail

[eternal garnet]

on the bridge

[feral rune]

then i realized it was the gun and was like wow.

[eternal garnet]

The time: Somewhere 10 to 80 years ago

[steel shoal]

It's mentioned in the first game, the beam bends using the gravity to reach any point around the planet. Aurora simply landed near the energy signature.

[plush fjord]

It's a little container on the floor of the bridge

[eternal garnet]

yes, east of it

[feral rune]

well that is scary.

[eternal garnet]

no, but alan speaks

oh not about wormy. He's more selfish

[steel shoal]

It's my favorite leviathan

[eternal garnet]

up extreme north, you can see it eat a snow dog. Very cool

wormy boy

[steel shoal]

Yes

[eternal garnet]

seeing the worm isn't the official goal, but hey

[feral rune]

anybody have a suggestion for a nice place to build a base?

[eternal garnet]

allegedly it's 90m long

[eternal garnet]

lilypads, or near delta dock

[feral rune]

i have one in the twisty bridges.

and now building one in the lilypads

i present. the living hell tunnel system.

also not even close to done.

do scanner room upgrades stack?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[feral rune]

ok good.

[wary patio]

Why not

[steel shoal]

Yes, but don't bother using range upgrades, as turns out they don't affect the range due to a bug

[feral rune]

ill test it real quick.

without range upgrades i have 2 pages of stuff to scan.

with one upgrade i get a few more.

[steel shoal]

Default room already reaches maximum distance, as if it had 4 range upgrades

[feral rune]

with a second range upgrade i get even more with 3 pages.

[steel shoal]

Are you testing it right now

[feral rune]

yes.

i never knew i can scan for chelis.

[steel shoal]

Remember that the amount of pages means loaded things, not all things

[feral rune]

oh?

[iron lantern]

What plants do you guys use for biofuel? I just found the fevered pepper, and idk if it's the best for that, even thought its an amazing food source

[eternal garnet]

I just use fevered pepper, growing next to it

[steel stream]

I think gel sack would make the best plant biofuel. Peppers are probably most common that people use

[eternal garnet]

going outside to get gel sacks?

[steel stream]

Best in terms of energy per slot...i know it's easier to just grow dry land plants next to the reactor

[iron lantern]

I think you can technically build a moonpool very close to the ground, plant the gelsacks in the water, and you can just jump in for a second, pick them up, and jump out

and then bioreactor right adgescent to the moonpool

[steel stream]

Or plant the gel sacks in alien containment next to bioreactor in large room

[feral rune]

used to use peppers. now use nuclear power.

[eternal garnet]

or put a planter pot 0.3m from the reactor

[steel stream]

Although if you have acu, just farm arctic peepers

[feral rune]

heres a way to farm gel sacks for bio reactors.

[iron lantern]

isnt nuclear power limited?

[feral rune]

get an alien containment. plant the gel sacks in there. and have a nuclear reactor in the next room. super easy and quick.

[feral rune]

yea but i know a lot of places to get nuclear power.

but i do have backup generators which are just bio reactors.

[steel stream]

Technically yes, but one rod has 20k power so for normal consumption it will last long. And for unnecessary high amounts of water filtration machines also other power sources can run into problems...

[eternal garnet]

the nuke is noisy. put it a little bit away

[iron lantern]

also can I even stack truck horsepower upgrades? Or do I just use one horsepower and one afterburner?

Im using ion power cells btw

[feral rune]

i keep them under the water. like. waaaay under the water

[steel stream]

They don't stack, so just use one each

4 slots - horsepower, afterburner, perimeter defence and depth (and no others available)

[iron lantern]

honestly getting both of those upgrades was probably the worst thing I experienced in the game this far, the lilypad biome is so hard to navigate

and thanks! gonna do that then

[stone orbit]

i wonder what kind of things their organic arms would be used for

[steel shoal]

It's in the PDA entry

[feral rune]

ok hear me out. the thermometer might be a good idea.

i think the control room has one. but like maybe one that is just placeable on walls or something.

update. the control room does not have one.

[steel shoal]

One that you could equip in in the place of the HUD chip/compass slots

Online vehicles and Thermal Plants have them rn

[feral rune]

oh my god yes. that would make my life 1000 times easier.

[torn barn]

Why they kept it in vehicles, but cut it as an equipable is forever a mystery

[feral rune]

yea and it makes me go insane. i want one i can just look at and be like: "well thats too hot"

[feral rune]

yea.

also. why in the world was the backup camera removed for the seatruck? now i gotta be blind as i try to attach the modules.

[torn barn]

Something like performace issues

My strategy is to drive face first into them then do a 180, works every time

[steel shoal]

Reinforced Dive Suit is strange. Heat sources, other than geysers, don't apply heat damage

[torn barn]

Yeah should have been cut tbh

[steel shoal]

It still halves damage, and applies 0.95m/s slow

[torn barn]

Half damage is okay i guess, but id honestly even prefer the filtration suit

[plush fjord]

Use both interchangeabley

[steel shoal]

I use Cold Suit because it looks really comfy, and Water Filtration Suit when going out

[fervent bloom]

Does the cold suit slow the player down?

[eternal garnet]

no

[fervent bloom]

It's "made of tightly-knit kevlar microfiber", yet it's made from kelp and animal fur.

[eternal garnet]

the fabricator can rearrange into new molecules

[steel shoal]

Those stalkers have something else in their fur

[fervent bloom]

Okay, that's fair.

Would you suggest I prioritize a scanner room, a control room, or neither for my newest base?

[steel shoal]

The Cold Suit is not cold

[plush fjord]

Scanner

[chrome cedar]

Ice worm teeth?

[steel shoal]

Can Ice Worms non-fatally bite Stalkers?
