Why isn't the gold Trivalve egg spawning? (is my 1st playthrough, i've watched a guide)

[eternal garnet]

they never spawn. They are there on game creation. You probably took them

[misty thorn]

i never took the gold ones

i only took 2 blue ones in the ice worm cave

so the gold ones are unobtainable(?)

thanks for helping i guess ahahah

also not my type

[eternal garnet]

she is not against you. She hates Alterra tho

[misty thorn]

Meatie so the golden ones are unobtainable? like they don't spawn?

Oh absolutely yes

Where

[misty thorn]

i did, all guides says it is here

and it is not

[eternal garnet]

They are usually there. "Spawn" is incredibly misleading

[misty thorn]

it is in this point, inthe deep lilipad caves, in the dead end cervice in the bottom

[steel stream]

If you know where they should be and you can't find them there, then it seems like some bug on your save.

[eternal garnet]

The spot looks correct

[steel stream]

Indeed

[misty thorn]

lucky me i guess

[eternal garnet]

It's possible to reset the area. Easier to just cheat them in

On PC that is

[misty thorn]

it's my 1st playthrough, i am on pc and i have no idea how to cheat them

[eternal garnet]

cheats disable achievements

[misty thorn]

so it's a no

[eternal garnet]

So here is a guide I wrote to reset chunks. It involves removing a file from a zip inside your savegame.
Guide https://www.reddit.com/r/Subnautica_Below_Zero/comments/t7882v/reset_a_single_world_chunk_fix_guide/

I'll do some of the work, find the batch number

If you want to try this

[misty thorn]

batch number should be 17 - 15,5

[eternal garnet]

right! I just got that. 17 15 5

So. Short version. Stay in the main menu, important on steam.
In the savegame, delete file
baked-batch-cells-17-15-5.bin
from CellsCache\baked-batch-cells-17-grp0.zip

[misty thorn]

ok and?

[eternal garnet]

Then load game

[misty thorn]

finger crossd

[eternal garnet]

sitting in the menu defeats steam sync undoing our changes

[misty thorn]

Thanks

Thanks a lot

[eternal garnet]

easy

[misty thorn]

Also i just realized i picked the other gold trivalve egg by accidend (i have no idea where) and just let it in my locker

[eternal garnet]

uh huh

There are only two in the world

both here

[misty thorn]

nice

[steel stream]

Blue eggs are in two different places

[misty thorn]

Oh

[eternal garnet]

correct. 2+2 blue

[misty thorn]

OOH

so i got the 2 blue from the ice worm, 1 i forgot where but definitely not here (i suppose but no i'm not that sure)

[eternal garnet]

Using my guide, you could have unlimited. But that would be evil

[misty thorn]

nah i don't need unlimited, i got 2 and that's all i need

[eternal garnet]

possibly 3

[misty thorn]

well that's weird

Cause now i have 3 eggs, 2 from here and 1 from i have no idea

[eternal garnet]

from here. It's the only spot

[misty thorn]

Weird

i'd remember being in sucha specific spot

considering, again, is my 1st playthrough, i'd have gotten both the "first time"

[trim kestrel]

how to get ||spiral plant clipping||?(i put a spoiler on it cuz idk if it is or not)

[eternal garnet]

inside a stationary ||huge transparent leviathan||. Or one spot deep purple vents

[trim kestrel]

ok thanks

[lofty jolt]

potato

[storm escarp]

The gold one?

[signal dragon]

help what do i do after ||curing the leviathan||

[eternal garnet]

back to finding body parts

[signal dragon]

whatbody parts

huh

[eternal garnet]

||Al-an||

[signal dragon]

huh

[eternal garnet]

ok. Have you heard any distress calls? Did you find the source?

[signal dragon]

i didnt bother doing it

[eternal garnet]

mm. Do that

[signal dragon]

but i got a narj

okie

[eternal garnet]

twisty bridges, side tunnel, 180m deep. Blinky

[signal dragon]

thanks

[broken cypress]

lmao I got this feller like 20 minutes into my first run cus I was basically "damn these oxygen plants are nice"
proceeds to follow trail of oxygen plants

[carmine bobcat]

I am NOT getting near that thing again

[eternal garnet]

Go find the pilot, and grab the essential truck upgrade on the floor there. Note it's not automatic, it's manual fire. It cancels an attack, making attacks trivial

[carmine bobcat]

Wait essential truck upgrade its the name of the upgrade?

[eternal garnet]

no it's Perimeter Defense

[carmine bobcat]

Ok

On my way to Margerit, thanks

[carmine bobcat]

Thx again man

got it

[ember holly]

it's the prawn lady

[wide crystal]

downloading below zero is almost finished

[fallen vortex]

i did it:D

||i'm kind of confused about what iceberg was Margarite talking-||

is it the ||F base one||?

[eternal garnet]

no. 1130m east of delta dock. Also south a tiny bit. It has boxes and lights and bones. And pepper fruit

[fallen vortex]

uhhh- i still can't get it-

[eternal garnet]

look back at delta beacon which you surely didn't remove. Get it 1130m west

meaning you are east of it

[fallen vortex]

i already took the beacon which was called "antenna" (cuz yh), and went to base F-

mind leading me there in the vc? i'm slightly confused

[eternal garnet]

it's called delta station dock in En

I don't know what base F is

[fallen vortex]

no, ik, i just took the beacon from there, made it blue and recalled it to antenna

[eternal garnet]

and put it back?

[fallen vortex]

it's located in southern icebergs biome

[fallen vortex]

i'm not there anymore

[eternal garnet]

put another way, it's the last iceberg east

it has an arch of ice

if you find the satellite, go next iceberg southeast

[hexed nacelle]

||How I can activate the satelite tower ?||

[stoic surge]

If you mean the one at Delta station, there's a thing you have to craft to interact with it

[eternal garnet]

Disable, not activate. Unless you are in old story

[stoic surge]

Hi there Sir Meatie, it's been a while 🙂

[eternal garnet]

several minutes?

[stoic surge]

Indeed

Hope you are doing well

[hexed nacelle]

||I only have the Parallel processing unit||

[eternal garnet]

craft ||test override module. put it in. Push button||

[stoic surge]

I see - You will use that to build a device, which you can get the blueprint for from ||the old lady||

[heady acorn]

the difficulties are many so most game developers wont unless player pressure makes them.

they build in support for xBone controllers since they are considered windows native but PS controllers use some different hardware and protocols. it makes it an effort to do correctly.

[whole raft]

[heady acorn]

its partially Sony's fault. They pride themselves on doing things Unique.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i love my PS platform but hate the proprietary approach to EVERYDAMNTHING

[hexed nacelle]

Bad for me ||I don't found the Margarite's base||

[heady acorn]

you are aware that there are some GREAT xBone/windows controllers that are close enough to PS controllers that i have one (grandkids gave it to me) and i now use it on the PC. MUCH less integration issues. Plug and play. I will send you a pic of it in DM in a min.

[fallen vortex]

I remember suffering, trying to find her base

[livid urchin]

any good ways of dealing with excess salt?

too much for just curing

[bold monolith]

Cured food, hydrochloric acid, bleach. That's all.

The trash can is an option.

Also, if it comes from the water filtration machine, you don't need to pick up the salt from it when it made them.

[steel stream]

I think bleach is not an option in below zero, but do water purification tablets require salt?

[bold monolith]

Right.

Actually I was checking the SN database.

I'm not awake yet.

[livid urchin]

uhh wont it fill up with pure salt if you dont?

[bold monolith]

No.

[steel stream]

The machine has two slots for salt and two for water, and they are bot interchangeable. Also having salt slot filled won't affect water production or energy usage in any way (and vice versa)

[livid urchin]

uhh guessing the bot thing is futher than i am currently

[cloud wharf]

Why there is no information about cryptosuchus walking on land online?

[bold monolith]

Can they?

[steel shoal]

Cryptosuchi look so cool

But this seems like a bug, When fish get stuck out of water they just slide

[kindred carbon]

hides in drop pod

[stoic surge]

If you go to the 'pilot's last known location' you can go downward / northward and you'll start seeing some light sticks - that means you're close

[carmine bobcat]

[fallen vortex]

i got so scared when i was trying to find the iceberg with ||satelite||

i went from west icebergs, trying to find it, yet i went around it, thinking it'd lead me to the right place, but when i opened F1, i saw that the next song "World Edge" is about to play, and when i checked the biome, i saw "World edge"

[split horizon]

Question about BZ

Are the leviathan hitboxes still really jank?

[left marsh]

Yeah, it genuinely looks like a land and sea creature

[steel shoal]

Except the feet

But yes, would love a land variant

[left marsh]

Would’ve been cool if it was bcs then PDA could say it || has links to frozen leviathan||

[steel shoal]

Or at least amphibious

[mossy maple]

can't wait to play this one

Also does anyone know if it really matters which one I play first

[broken cypress]

lets not do that

why is the map so small

[eternal garnet]

so travel is shorter

[steel stream]

It doesn't matter much, but maybe still play the first game first and this second.

[left marsh]

Do it.

[broken cypress]

as I backed out the feller tried to bite me lol

it does feel like leviathans in this game are barely a threat tbh

u can literally take 3 hits from one, and the seatruck which u can get like 30min it also takes 3 hits as opposed to the seamoth just disintegrating

[swift ginkgo]

Built Alltera tough.

[mossy maple]

Alr thx

[calm charm]

Yo guys does ||fixing the bridge|| provide any story progression?

[eternal garnet]

it's usually required, yes. There are weird ways around it, but why

it's purpose is to have you explore here later

[calm charm]

Alr thanks

[warm widget]

Yeah the bridge is the main way into a new area

[calm charm]

How much is in that area

Like after one very special scan should I leave

[eternal garnet]

You could, or explore. There are 2 pet eggs, mineable ion cubes, stuff to see

[calm charm]

Tbh I didn’t bring my prawn so I’m totally getting out now

[lapis peak]

Theres a really important piece you need to scan rhere

Without it you cant finish the game

[cobalt meadow]

what should i be exploring first water or land? i am new

[eternal garnet]

water, and delta island

[cobalt meadow]

delta land?

[eternal garnet]

it's the only true island, you find it south, early game

[cobalt meadow]

ok

[eternal garnet]

general tips. Save often. Explore every area. Bring a beacon always

[cobalt meadow]

ok

[untold nest]

Terrifying

[runic citrus]

me when i lie

[nocturne magnet]

My man fr dodged 💀

[hexed nacelle]

Thanks I found the Margarite's base

[smoky valley]

i would of never imagined you out of all people would ask about something game related

[atomic arch]

just hearing it is enough for me

[calm charm]

Where do I even craft ||architect organs||

Unless it’s huge spoilers then don’t tell me

||I don’t have all 3 yet but I was hoping it would give me my next hint if I crafted one||

[safe sun]

You'll find out later.

Keep playing 🙂

[bold monolith]

A bit of a rhetorical question. I hardly see how you could call this “walking”.

Also they don't have a similar component for this.

So they can't really go from water to land.

[steel shoal]

The best feeling in the world - Ignis confirming what you said

[broken cypress]

do it all the time lol

[broken cypress]

can these be demolished

also is this intended

[kindred carbon]

try the propulsion

[kindred carbon]

doubt it

[broken cypress]

I dunno what that is so I'm gonna assume can't do it yet

prawn suit did nothing against it

[kindred carbon]

||seamonkey nests have the fragments||

||in arctic kelp||

[stoic surge]

Awesome

[ember holly]

prawn lady

[hazy sparrow]

Margarite my beloved

[ember holly]

prawn lady sounds better

[smoky valley]

marguerit

[broken cypress]

ive found a really weird bug

im not sure if anyone else can replicate it

[supple sparrow]

why is below zero only 7 gb?

[broken cypress]

but if you drive your seatruck into the ||vent garden leviathan||, the drivers cabin teleports back to its last location

[broken cypress]

the modules are left behind

also why does scanning this one not give me a data bank entry?

is it cus its also a ||ground sampler||

[fallen vortex]

nervous gulp

[smoky valley]

are you in the void?

[fallen vortex]

nope, i think north icebergs

[smoky valley]

that seems like void

dat looks like da void shrimp

[smoky valley]

chat im stupid i was wondering why nothing was showing up cause i had scanner room active but the reason was because i took out my hud chip

[carmine bobcat]

How do i outrun a shadow leviathan with no stasis rifle

[eternal garnet]

what you should do, is shock it if it attacks. This stops the attack immediately

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah but with the prawn suit?

[eternal garnet]

repair

Truck is better here

[carmine bobcat]

I think he mad

[nova isle]

where is the ||ice leviathan ||

[eternal garnet]

north of the bridge

[nova isle]

does fruit salad go bad

[eternal garnet]

no!

[fallen vortex]

I found ||margarite’s greenhouse||

[eternal garnet]

bring home to plant: peppers, purple fruit (Preston)

[fallen vortex]

i actually got out from there-

[eternal garnet]

why? Check a new food recipe

[fallen vortex]

No, like i ate all of them cuz of low water

[steel stream]

Did you grab all pdas? And did you notice 'new blueprint synthetized'

[fallen vortex]

There are a few left

[fallen vortex]

Which one blueprint?

[steel stream]

The food one

[fallen vortex]

I grabbed a lot of pdas and fragments from there

[fallen vortex]

I think so

[eternal garnet]

the salad is incredibly good

[fallen vortex]

Oh yeah, i got the salad’s blueprint

Idk if i should spend time making it

What’s its stats?

[eternal garnet]

OP. 1 slot. Does not expire

[fallen vortex]

No like, how many food and water does it give

[eternal garnet]

all of them

and heat

80% 50% I think?

[steel stream]

It gives too much...there's 0 incentive to use any other food after getting it...

[eternal garnet]

and why not use it, reduce worrying about making food

[steel stream]

I mean that it's superior to any other food in any way (well, some foods give health, but much less food/water). I think it should have some downside, or at least not be so much better than everything else

[eternal garnet]

you earned this

[nova isle]

it’s the same as carrying nutrient blocks and water bottles it’s really not that different

people have been asking for craftable nutrient blocks and they delivered

[steel stream]

That's my point: it's better than nutrient blocks...

[nova isle]

If you don’t like them then dont use them🗣️

[ember holly]

it's only 30 water though

[gentle dome]

i like eating fruits

[next current]

Based response.

Although a good Xenoworx Employee never skips out on their veggies as well.

[nova isle]

ah yes my favorite vegetable... LEAVES

[nova isle]

people will complain about anything

[ember holly]

they are a good food source

[potent niche]

what ive noticed whenever i play this game is that it just makes me want to play subnautica again lol

the only thing i dont like story wise about this game is ||maida's insane plot armour||

[steel stream]

How about the thing where Robin forgets why she came to the planet in the first place...

[potent niche]

i havent gotten to that bit yet i dont think

but that does sound really stupid lol

ig maybe all the stuff with that alien overwhelmed her

al-en

as of right now, im about to scan the tissue for his body

had to search it up on youtube because i had no idea where to go

[potent niche]

alr i need help

where do i find the fabricator place to build alan

cause alan just said to find it but i have no idea where the hell to look

[bold monolith]

We can give you a hint.

||The deepest you can go in this game.||

I'm not talking about the void of course.

[potent niche]

aight time to explore

[bold monolith]

Start from where you found the organs.

[potent niche]

aight bet thanks

i was looking from where i found the tissue cause that's what i got last

by the way i LOVE the ice worms prob one of my favourite aliens in the game

[raven flume]

If you use that water recycling suit you never need a water bottle again, or at least I didn't when wearing the suit.

The salad provides just the right amount of water to top you off.

[ember holly]

i didn't have the suit on my playthrough
i just improvise my mobile water source on the way

[raven flume]

In the first one I never found it and I honestly regret that lol.

[fallen vortex]

spoiler tag exists

[broken cypress]

does the metal detector work on sea monkey nests

yes it does

why do the seamonkeys have better tech than the ships

i swear lead is the hardest thing to get in this game

and somehow this is fine lol

yknow what this actually looks pretty cool

havent seen squirrels building nests with like
entire truck segments before

this is so funny

but yeah
smart lil monkeys

[storm stag]

Not sure if it's a bug or not, but I have a double beacon for Allien Distress Call Origin, near the green obelisk under water west of Delta station, and I went down to the obelisk, picked up the cubes, and nothing happens.

Am I missing something?

Both show the same location. I might have triggered that while wondering in other caves for magnetite.

[bold monolith]

Some say it's a bug. I think it's a feature.

[eternal garnet]

it's a bug. Duplicates. Ignore

[storm stag]

And am I supposed to do something special inside there? 😄 To trigger something?

[eternal garnet]

it's not sane to have 2 beacons to the same spot, same title. Hence, bug

[storm stag]

Or visiting the green obelisk and picking up the cubes is enough.

[eternal garnet]

um. Do you have an, erm, headache?

[storm stag]

Nope as far as I know

[eternal garnet]

found a large floating cube?

[storm stag]

Found multiples ones like that

4

[eternal garnet]

it's 1.5 meters, hanging in the air, on a corner

in a room

[storm stag]

Good, going back in there to see if I a missed something. In the green obelisk room?

[eternal garnet]

no

[storm stag]

Or that's the room near the pulsating stuff.

Ah, that's near the center of the map, I've reached that place accidentally earlier, with no green cubes.

[eternal garnet]

I guess I need to be clearer. Have you ||talked to an alien||

[storm stag]

Nope

[eternal garnet]

then go to the distress call

[bold monolith]

You spoiled them.

[eternal garnet]

Exactly there

[bold monolith]

I hope you feel bad now.

[storm stag]

Problem is I am at the last distress call, not sure if I missed something tho. I am at the green obelisk underwater, a ps in 2 mins.

[eternal garnet]

no. It's common for players to go "oh that, yes I did that ages ago"

PS?

[storm stag]

Printscreen.

I am at this distress point, yet nothing happens.

[eternal garnet]

it's not there at all. Near, maybe

[storm stag]

Ah, then I am missing something 😄

[eternal garnet]

yes. And this may be why you got double beacons

[bold monolith]

I don't think it's near.

This one looks like the Arctic Kelp Cave designed by Benjamin.

This.

[storm stag]

Both beacons show the exact same locations.

[eternal garnet]

to find the the distress call, follow blinky lights from 180m deep, into a side tunnel

[storm stag]

It seems I have no idea how to get to that one, I've been wondering around it in the caves for hours

[eternal garnet]

use my last clue

[fallen vortex]

Can i plant preston’s fruit instead of its leaves?

[eternal garnet]

yes, only the fruit even

[fallen vortex]

Ah-

I’m asking cuz i’m just getting from ||margarite’s greenhouse|| and i took preston’s berries and pepper fruits

[eternal garnet]

great

peppers, btw, my favorite biofuel. And good eating

[fallen vortex]

Cuz once u told me about the salad being useful, i thought of getting a whole plantation of those

Is there any recommendation of what to plant?

[eternal garnet]

preston's in wall pots

[fallen vortex]

Ight, tysm

[eternal garnet]

makes them easier to harvest

[bold monolith]

I'm wondering if it's viable to fuel with root pustules. Since there is a global cooldown it might be a pain. Did you try meatie?

[fallen vortex]

So i plant pepper fruit in outside/inside growbed and preston’s in wall pots?

[eternal garnet]

pustules are the best thing you can put in there, but they are far away, and won't regrow

[eternal garnet]

yes, or even just pots

[fallen vortex]

Ight

[eternal garnet]

lantern fruit make pretty trees

the fruit taste like lamp fuel though

[fallen vortex]

And what’s the best fuel i can get?

[eternal garnet]

kelp root pustules

can't grow them

[fallen vortex]

But where do i get ‘em?

[storm stag]

Found that place finally. The green obelisk mislead me.

[eternal garnet]

kelp root caves

[bold monolith]

||And seamonkeys.||

[eternal garnet]

big progress

[fallen vortex]

I want to get to ||crystal caves|| badly cuz it looks pretty damn good +there are some late game resources i need

[eternal garnet]

there are two entrances, both at about 450m

obviously I could reveal more

[bold monolith]

Their GCD is at 60 seconds though, and you still need a bit of luck with the roll. So that's why I asked if that was viable. I guess if you have time you can still farm them.

[fallen vortex]

Nope, thanks, that’s enough- i didn’t even make prawn yet-

[eternal garnet]

note, here, prawn isn't what you need for depths. Upgraded truck goes everywhere

[carmine bobcat]

👍

[misty thorn]

so which plant are replantable? Spiral, gel, shrooms, creepvine, he round colored one, any more?

[chrome abyss]

How do you even scan a ||void chalicerate||

Theyre so fast and almost one shot

[eternal garnet]

Did you scan a red one? Then you are done. There's no separate entry for the void

[chrome abyss]

Oh

[ember holly]

violet beau

lol

[tacit thorn]

In short, knife everything you see and watch if it drops seeds.

[ember holly]

the original game have more plantable fauna

flora

lol
words are difficult

[storm stag]

Question, can you merge two large rooms vertically? I've read somewhere that you can, but I am using both snap points to no avail.

[tacit thorn]

You have to put them one on top of another, they must overlap. can't make an L shape.

You may have to remove the internal walls (and the glass roof if applied)

Also, if you want to use the alien containment (large aquarium) to grow vines, you have to stack two of them vertically and they must be stacked in one column - stacking them in zig-zag does not allow the vines grow to full.

[storm stag]

Mistery solved, thank you. I thought you can make one tall room. You can't, you need ladders.

[storm stag]

Ah, so I can remove internal walls...

THank you.

[calm charm]

What should I do next? I’ve gotten ||architect skeleton and tissue recipes|| and I finished (atleast I think) the ||plot with marguerit||

[potent niche]

alr guys ||Al-an just made this portal and said "please complete anything you got left to do on this planet then follow me through the portal"|| so what would i do next from there cause idk what i have to do related to sam now

like i just need someone to tell me where i should go next or if i should just go through ||the portal|| basically cause ik i havent figured out what happened to sam but idk how im supposed to figure it out from here

[runic citrus]

did u do the margerite quest

[eternal garnet]

The place you want is in south glacial basin, south-west part, trees. There's a radio mast here. There

[potent niche]

think so

i went to her ||greenhouse ||and allat

[runic citrus]

ok nothing else to do

[potent niche]

hmm

alright ill head there ig

btw when i found the ||frozen leviathan||, it said i needed a tube or something to get a sample of it's dna or whatever

but i havent really found a way to do that still

[eternal garnet]

Oh, you have found the place then. Optionally you can cure it, not super important. There's a revealing PDA in the rubble next to a buried forklift

[potent niche]

oh

imma cure it

[eternal garnet]

this PDA

curing: Sam hid it and marked it red on the phi map

[potent niche]

what's the PDA called

i might have it already

[eternal garnet]

Security Recording

"sam, is that you?"

[potent niche]

under Sam?

[eternal garnet]

dunno

[potent niche]

ill check

[potent niche]

i gotta be honest

i was hoping for a cooler way of finding out ||how sam died||

felt really anticlimactic

[thorny saddle]

I'm looking at using some mods. When they refer to versions 1.0 and 2.0...is that original game as 1.0 and Sub Zero as 2.0 or is there a 2.0 of the original game?

[potent niche]

bro what was that ending 💀 😭

ngl i still love the game but i see what people meant when they said the ||story sucks||

it was good up until the ||ending|| though imo

[bitter marten]

What's the best biome to find a ventgarden in

[eternal garnet]

BZ is in no way 2.0.
The Living Large update was called the 2.0 update. Misleading I know. This is the one that added Large room.
To use 1.0, be on the steam Legacy branch

[thorny saddle]

Thank you, thank you! That clarifies it for me. So I'm using 2.0. Awesome.

[eternal garnet]

Meanwhile, Subnautica 2 is coming. Any year now. But it's not an "update"

[calm charm]

Are these messages all referring to the same facility or just 2 of them

[eternal garnet]

Two

[calm charm]

And I’m assuming that’s where I get the ||organs||

[eternal garnet]

yes

well, in the closer one

[calm charm]

Alr thank you

[bitter marten]

Did UW patch out being able to build in ventgardens

[next current]

I'm just gonna save this screenshot....

[idle plaza]

Is it me or water goes down way to fast in subnautica below zero ???

[safe sun]

It's you.

I think they're talking about thirst, not oxygen.

[brave niche]

Anyone know how to set up VR mod with BZ , I have it working with regular subnautica but can seem to magic the vr in winter

[safe sun]

You may have better luck getting help with that in the modding server. #subnautica-modding

[bitter marten]

How do i get a full scan of the ||frozen leviathan||

[calm night]

oops

you cant

you can just scan the head the teeth and the arm i think and the kharra

[bitter marten]

Turns out if you scan all the components it gives you the full scan

[sand basalt]

where i can easily find diamond

[potent niche]

did anyone else feel like subnautica below zero was ||really easy|| after beating the game?

like, for me personally, ||the hardest parts of the game was trying to figure out where i needed to go next||

[storm stag]

It's definitely less scary than the other.

[potent niche]

yeah mainly because ||the deepest you gotta go is like 950m|| which u can easily do with the seatruck and with the seatruck whenever a leviathan attacks u can easily use ur shocking thing

still loved the game though it had really fun gameplay and story moments but the ||ending just felt kinda rushed tbh||

[fallen vortex]

I’m kind of disappointed that there’s no achievement for developing Prawn suit

But i think it’s related to first game having that badge already, and making the same achievement for the second game ain’t gonna do a thing

[radiant rover]

ok so i just now got the game, im assuming since im playing blind i should not press a single spoiler message..?

[eternal garnet]

only in replies to you

[radiant rover]

is there a reason to return to the thingy you landed in? is there anything of use there

[eternal garnet]

no

"landed" lol

[radiant rover]

close enough lol

how rare are Calaverite Outcrops?

[eternal garnet]

not at all. Especially around delta island and in kelp root caves

[radiant rover]

huh cuz im at 200 meters and i cant find one, im using the resource scanner thing

[eternal garnet]

the hand scanner range is tiny, 10m maybe

[radiant rover]

does game progress faster? Ive already got a ||rebreather|| and ||gel sacks||

[eternal garnet]

A bit, yes. A lot if you know where to go

[radiant rover]

i have no idea, just got an air bladder and went straight down

[swift ginkgo]

I never use those...

[radiant rover]

i started using them because i kept going to deep and not paying attention to my o2 lvl. In original subnautica i never used them either. Expected them to be one time use ngl

[supple sparrow]

below zero is amazing but if the next game has co-op together with new stuff it could easily be goty

[sand basalt]

where i can easily find diamond

[eternal garnet]

early game, deep twisty bridges, the canyon, below 300m. You need rebreather, but no truck

[supple sparrow]

i was about to say this but in the most scuffed way possible,cheers

[rich kayak]

where I can find a piece of wrapping mushroom

[radiant rover]

idk check wiki maybe

[eternal garnet]

Have you seen a huge parked jellyfish?

rooted to the ground

[rich kayak]

never saw a jellyfish

[eternal garnet]

ok. go directly south from delta beacon. Find that. it's huge. maybe 300m south. Where spiral plant? ||Inside it!||

[rich kayak]

okay thx

u mean this biome?

[eternal garnet]

no, that's deep twisty. 300m was south, not down

[rich kayak]

oh

[eternal garnet]

pic there for your diamond biome

[rich kayak]

Okay im now 300m south from delta becon

[eternal garnet]

i'm not sure about distance at all. But keep going exactly south

less than 1000m

[rich kayak]

okay

[eternal garnet]

biome: tree spires. Dark. Black tree like spires with pink

[eternal garnet]

there's a few small ones. find bigger

[rich kayak]

this looks big

[radiant rover]

is the seatruck kinda like the cyclops?

[eternal garnet]

it's a bit like a seamoth cyclops hybrid. Or not

it can have rooms on the back. Lots of them

[radiant rover]

i mean its a portable base

[eternal garnet]

yes,. can be

but you can't build in it, or grow plants

[radiant rover]

they actually made it so you have to use full batteries now?

[eternal garnet]

it's because you abused it

just you

[radiant rover]

makes sence

im the problem 👍

[rich kayak]

bro wants to kill me 😭

[steel stream]

You can use empty batteries for crafting, but they stay empty

But on the other hand, you don't need to scan battery charger for blueprint

[small fiber]

||my seatruck now looks like seatrain ||

[steel stream]

That's not a train yet...try 10 modules

[small fiber]

||can i have all modules attached?||

[steel stream]

You can attach as many as you want, even multiplesbof the same (many players use several storage modules). Only exception is the docking module, which always is the last module

[radiant rover]

is table coral more rare in this game?

[grizzled aurora]

nope

its everywhere

just look for vertical surfaces

[radiant rover]

is the art style different in bz compared to base game?

[grizzled aurora]

tbh idk i never played bz

[radiant rover]

so why respond to a msg about bz?

[rich kayak]

Where I can get cave sprout pipes

[grizzled aurora]

oh wait lmao

idk why i tho this was sub chat

mb

[toxic vine]

Go to pilots last known position, and go along the trench to the opposite side of the ship and go down when the trench starts to go down.

[rich kayak]

tyy

[toxic vine]

Just know it's like 300-500 meters down

[rich kayak]

I have max sea thing

[toxic vine]

Ok good

[radiant rover]

the bz community is alot smaller then the base subnautica community huh

[rich kayak]

hmm

can I carry the (idk the word look at the picture) with my sea ​​railway?

[fervent crater]

yes with the docking module

[rich kayak]

ohh

[rich kayak]

that change everything

[fervent crater]

this @rich kayak

[radiant rover]

prawn suit btw

[rich kayak]

In germen it means "krebs" and the english word is cancer

[radiant rover]

i mean

it probably is idk

[fervent crater]

You speak German?

[rich kayak]

yea

[radiant rover]

unless you have the scanner room hud chip, do you need drones to use it?

[rich kayak]

Ig Ill never leave the ||vulcan artifact||

[radiant rover]

is the mineral scanner rendered useless after you get the scanner room with hud chip?

[eternal garnet]

more or less

[swift ginkgo]

Depends how you play.

Spend most of your time in the truck, won't always be near the scanner room.

[radiant rover]

i just got alan in my head, what now?

[calm night]

find blueprints and pretty much play the game

AL-EN will slowly detect signals and show them to you

if you find them it would be easier for him to detect artifacts

and the main 3 parts that you can build his body with

[radiant rover]

is that the point of the game get alan a body?

[eternal garnet]

not really, but that is what ends the game

[radiant rover]

can you use ion cubes as a power source for anything?

is the PDA scottish

[eternal garnet]

the PDA is upper class indian

[radiant rover]

oh

[eternal garnet]

ion cubes powers a late game truck module thingy

[nova isle]

you can also make batteries with them

[mellow geode]

I would be very careful with ion cubes. They're a finite resource in BZ.

[radiant rover]

Ah I just assumed they were more common cuz of base game

[carmine bobcat]

Das crazy

[tacit thorn]

Just like multiroom, need ladders to move up/down. You can also stack alien containment to make it feel more vertically open.

[toxic vine]

I drew leviathan eggs

[toxic vine]

There is an error, it is meant to be (I think they make live offspring) it got cut off when I took the photo

[ember holly]

the shadow leviathan one looks like rock grubs but black

[nova isle]

that ain’t a shadow leviathan that’s a krill 😭

[jolly pier]

where can I find Seatruck speed module?

[mellow geode]

no such thing exists. there is however the seatruck horsepower upgrade

[jolly pier]

i forgot how its named

u press this thing and it gives u a speedboost for several secnds

[mellow geode]

that's the afterburner upgrade

[jolly pier]

oh

and where can i find it?

[mellow geode]

sea monkey nests

[jolly pier]

ok ty

[potent niche]

Does the ||Squidshark|| count as a leviathan?

[bold monolith]

If you think it is. The PDA says so.

[potent niche]

Yeah I noticed that but it seems so small and harmless

kinda reminded me of the crabsquid from the first game

[pale tangle]

Guys do you know what is the budget of below zero?? I cant find it

[potent niche]

Yeah true but i feel like the crabsquid should’ve also been considered a small leviathan if that’s the case

[bold monolith]

He also had an answer for this. #below-zero-chat message

If the PDA says so it's technically canon, I would say, even if you are not pleased by the idea.

Imagine they would release a hotfix not for fixing bugs but to rectify it.

[potent niche]

im glad they’re taking it into consideration and tbh it’s not a crazy big deal, I was just curious

[steel stream]

The pda also lists squidshark under 'large carnivores' and not under 'leviathans'...

[potent niche]

I noticed that too but doesn’t it still class it as a leviathan in the description

[bold monolith]

The writer and the developers weren't on the same page.

[potent niche]

atleast it’s getting fixed

[bold monolith]

I was joking.

I don't think it will.

[potent niche]

😭

[bold monolith]

The funny part is that it's from the time Tom was the Below Zero writer, so from the first draft of the story (that changed later), and it was never corrected afterward.

[potent niche]

I don’t think imma ever think of it as a leviathan ngl 😭

[bold monolith]

You don't have to.

[bitter lance]

!Pls don't spoil!

Hi, I need help I'm pretty well advanced in the game but idk what to do now. My advancement ->> || I already desactivated the antenna with the test module, already got 2 pieces of the precursor and found the frozen leviathan I have not any target from the PDA and already searched all around the map during like 3 days ahah. Could you say me a zone to go to without saying me what I will find there? || Thanks you a lot 🙂

[vernal trench]

Just go wery deep :3

[bold monolith]

We would have to know which pieces you found to be sure.

Also you said you found ||the frozen leviathan|| but you didn't specify anything else that might be relevant to it.

Same with the ||antenna, you disabled it but then did you go to the greenhouse||?

[bitter lance]

|| I founded that I will need a sample of the virus to put on the little analyser robot. For the antenna I already gone to the greenhouse but also go on the underwater base so I know what happened with the virus. For the part I'm not sur but I have the one from the violet cristal biome and for the second one I have to check on my computer (but I you can tell me the 3 component I think I would bé able to say you which one I have. But already thanks you for jour help! ||

[bold monolith]

||The organs, the tissues, the skeleton.||

[bitter lance]

|| but the deeper I saw is the violet cristal biome and didn't found a way to go deeper ||

[bitter lance]

|| I think that the one I miss is the organs||

[bold monolith]

I see. Well you're on the right track with this then.

And you still have to do something with the ||little robot||, it's in the same general area where it is.

[bitter lance]

I think I missed something ahah

[bold monolith]

There are some clues in Phi Robotics. Maybe try to check your databank for what you found there.

[bitter lance]

|| like the pinguin ?||

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[bitter lance]

Well let's explore the ||underwater World|| again lol

Thanks you a lot for your help !

You saved my adventure ahah : )

[bold monolith]

You already knew a lot. You knew something was weird with the ||robot||, and your assumption with the ||violet crystal biome|| was correct.

[bitter lance]

I know that || altera want to exploit the virus and that the women we search for have crashed inside the lab to stop the experience. I hope I will find an intersting hole to put the pinguin lol || btw sorry for my bad english I'm belgian

[ember holly]

the english is good enough for communication
which is very good

[bitter lance]

Ahah thanks you

[fallen vortex]

"proceed with caution" 💀

[bitter lance]

I know he attacked me a lot of time lol

[fallen vortex]

he's dumb

[ember holly]

you can either avoid or initiate p u n c h

[bitter lance]

I have the || electro shockwave|| installed, I don't fear him anymore : )

[jolly pier]

any1 uses seatruck aquarium module?

[eternal garnet]

It's not one of the best modules. Note that it will pick up fish as you drive

[jolly pier]

bc i crafted it and idk why do i need it

i'll put penglings here

How many parallel processing units are in bow of mercury?

I found 2

[eternal garnet]

if you really are in the bow, it's at 300m or so, there should be 3

[jolly pier]

Yes I am

finally, i found 3rd

[potent niche]

I did bc it looked cool but it was completely useless

I just wanted to make my seatruck as big as possible for some reason 😭

ended up getting rid of a lot of useless modules bc of how slow my seatruck was going though 😂

[mellow geode]

unconsciously trying to compensate for something?

[potent niche]

💀 😭

maybe (no)

[fallen vortex]

the funniest thing is that i already found ||kianite|| BUT I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A SINGLE NICKEL ORE

[potent niche]

It literally spawns in the same biome you got the ||kyanite|| from i’m pretty sure

[bitter lance]

Hello again. I'm sorry I just came back in my World and I already have the ||| organs, what I need is the tissues ahah |||

[bold monolith]

It's on land. Somewhere. Maybe you didn't do everything in the Glacial Bay.

[bitter lance]

|| I already opened the brigde and explored a lot but do you mean it could be Somewhere there? Cause I Saw a portal and didn't get anything from him||

[bold monolith]

Yes it's somewhere around here.

The ||portal|| is just a shortcut to Phi.

Without too much spoiler I can tell you it's all the way to the north.

[bitter lance]

Thanks you 🙂

[jolly pier]

trying to find omega day 1

[fallen vortex]

makes sense

[frank sentinel]

hint: ||its somewhere on 4546B||

[bitter lance]

Thanks you a lot I founded what I was searching for !!

Just one last question|| Alan sayed me to go back to alien Factory (or something like that idk how to say in english) but I don't remember was it was and there is no target on the PDA. Am I supposded to remember where is that Factory or is it normal and I have to discover by myself ? ||

[frank sentinel]

he might be talking about the place near the ||pre-release base||

[bitter lance]

What is that place?

[frank sentinel]

head north, look for a ||hole in the ice underwater||

[raw arch]

back to below zero i go

[eternal garnet]

||Alien fabrication|| facility? ||If you have 3 body parts, and ingredients, go there. It's east end of crystal caves. Red crystals. Depth 960m||

[radiant rover]

can i have a pointer on what I should do next? Ive just got the alien artifact x3 thingy

[raw arch]

i hate the twisty bridges biome lol

[radiant rover]

its not that bad

[bitter lance]

Thanks

[jolly pier]

tysm

[eternal garnet]

find it?

I have a good pic hint

[frank sentinel]

real hint: ||big floating rock in lilypad biome||

i think, its been a bit since ive played SNBZ

[eternal garnet]

true, but where

[dusty plover]

Is the hydrothermal vents a good place for a base?

[eternal garnet]

yes. Noisy neighbors maybe. Lots of resources

[steel stream]

What hydrothermal vents are you referring to? The underwater 'black smokers' in thermal spires or the 'steam geysers' in dry land?

[eternal garnet]

there's also purple vents. That and thermal spires are good base spots

[steel stream]

I had a land base near glacial basin dock and the bridge on my first save. Kinda good when exploring that land area, but far away from everything else...

And it was solar powered (and bioreactor later), didn't even try thermal plants on those steam vents...

[swift ginkgo]

There is a bugged under water cave on that island that is always 101c, thermal would have worked great.

[steel stream]

Well that base didn't use much power so it was fine

[fallen vortex]

what do i do here?

[bold monolith]

Scan things.

[fallen vortex]

i scanned emerald

[bold monolith]

Another thing.

[eternal garnet]

at the back of the room, up top, scan a small thing. If you have a drill arm, get all the green cube

[fallen vortex]

||architects component||?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[fallen vortex]

yippee

i managed to progress

so- what do i do now?

[eternal garnet]

not the type of question we like

No handholding!

[fallen vortex]

ik ik, i'm just not sure, will ||al-an|| give any signal or no? like i'm literally confused atm. i haven't got any news from him till now

not sure if i get any updates afterwards

and i somehow managed to survive ||ice worm||

[eternal garnet]

got 2 body parts? 3?

[fallen vortex]

that's the first one-

[eternal garnet]

you are missing the easy one, the only one you get a beacon to

[fallen vortex]

there are too many of beacons-

[eternal garnet]

And another difficult one. Hint: ||Very deep||

[fallen vortex]

how deep we talk? ||crystal caves||?

[eternal garnet]

you turn them OFF as you visit. maybe edit color too

that's the place

[fallen vortex]

ightt, i jsut have there beacon (||crystal caves entrance||)

i'm just thinking to get depth module MK2 for prawn

[eternal garnet]

no caps.

[fallen vortex]

oh yeah-

i mean- i don't remember getting the first one-

[eternal garnet]

oh you have two? The ||skeleton has a|| beacon to it. Only that one does.

[fallen vortex]

so that's the only thing i need?

i think i need to check RK8 one

[amber quarry]

|| https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/723290747020902430/1234562382710444092/image.png?ex=66312f51&is=662fddd1&hm=54562a50c08ba13a9fa03bcd9632524a2233c14ae63345fdaf73f8b94aac9cf0& || i finally killed it

[steel shoal]

You can type "entreset" in the command console before saving/leaving the general area.

[calm night]

anyone knows how this happens-

[eternal garnet]

using the ||teleportation module|| take a third

[calm night]

ohhh

oh yeah i crafted that

i thought its infinite

because 300000 or something is its power

[steel stream]

This should be an indication that it's not infinite, but large capacity. Then again the tether tool uses up 10,000 per use...

There are couple of tricks to not lose ion cubes by using all power though...

[calm night]

ik, i just thought it wont really go out easily

[steel stream]

One very slow way to recharge ion cube in tether tool is swim charge fins...but it will take ages, lol

Other options use recylcotron (for example use the partly empty ion cube to craft uon battery, recharge battery and put in recyclotron to get full ion cube, or craft and decraft recyclotron with the half-empty cube)

[storm stag]

Does the seatruck scanner work with the scanner room hud chip?

[jolly nebula]

I just found out i can grow creepvine

What is it good for

[wide dawn]

Fiber mesh

If you plant the seed clusters you can get rubber and lubricant too

I'm diving down into the deep twisty bridges for diamonds and seatruck module fragments. Got 3 storage fragments and 1 fabricator fragment. All I'm seeing is storage

[steel shoal]

@jolly nebula Ice Worm, in the Northwestern corner of the map.

[jolly nebula]

I just realized

[steel shoal]

It's in the trailer too

[jolly nebula]

I didnt do any part of the sister stuff

[jolly nebula]

I didnt watch the trailer, i just saw fun water game and bought it

[steel shoal]

Oh, the worm is part of the headmate saga

[wide dawn]

I knew subnautica was basically a horror game before I played it

[jolly nebula]

Ig i didnt see it then

[steel shoal]

I don't think you can avoid them, you're forced to visit a room with them to get the tissue

[jolly nebula]

Oh

I played a modified version where i had recipes unlocked but double damage taken to me and my stuff (i hated recipe unlocking)

Currently playing a freedom mode save

[steel shoal]

My base is somewhere in the middle of that room. I keep getting constantly attacked, but I like it.

[jolly nebula]

Thinking of starting a survival save though, i keep finding food everywhere

[jolly nebula]

Oh, cool

I live in the lilypad area

[steel shoal]

I have a base in the Crystalline Caverns and in the Twisty Bridges

I have a video of my first base, if you're interested

[jolly nebula]

Weird question, are there any good ways to prevent losing my prawn suits?

One fell into the void, one fell through the ground in the spawn area, and the last got stuck in the alien base in the red crystal area

[steel shoal]

Being careful, always repairing immediately after attacks. But if it clips, there's nothing we can do.

[jolly nebula]

Ah

I see

I ended up losing one on another save because i was using it to get to my base quickly

[steel shoal]

Here's the base anyway. This was my real first time with the large room.

[steel shoal]

Luckily I haven't had issues, but I seem to be the minority.

[jolly nebula]

The base in question

[jolly nebula]

Oooo, i love it

[nova isle]

WAIT YOU CAN?

WHAT

[eternal garnet]

someone stole the wheels from your new Bugatti

[wide dawn]

Made a Storage module and a fabricator module

So I'm gonna make my base now

[flint spoke]

Is there a place to make recommendations to the devs?

[carmine bobcat]

question...how do i find grapple arm prints?

[safe sun]

In here.

[carmine bobcat]

ok like what biome?

[steel stream]

Monkey nests in lilypad caves

[carmine bobcat]

thanks @steel stream

[safe sun]

I was talking to Destroyer, sorry lol

[mellow geode]

if only discord had a function that allowed you to indicate who you were replying to...

[carmine bobcat]

lmao

[carmine bobcat]

ah ok

[jolly pier]

i deactivated the antenna, but Marguerit didn't call me

[mellow geode]

Did you just connect the test module but didn't broadcast the test signal?

[jolly pier]

maybe

i'll visit delta later

[jolly pier]

where can i find Deep Twisty Bridges?

[steel stream]

Diving deeper into twisty bridges (the canyon where you can see sharks)

[jolly pier]

ty

[fallen vortex]

i stumbled upon one issue- where do i find magnetite?

[bold monolith]

Deep Lilypads, Crystal Caves, Glacial Bassin.

[fallen vortex]

is that where i have to go?

[bold monolith]

This biome.

It's difficult to tell where you are with the screenshot.

[ember holly]

forklift

[raven flume]

How?

[ember holly]

prawn suit propulsion cannon

[storm stag]

What's the range of the seatruck scanner?

Ah, that's a mod 😄

[jolly pier]

-Cmon, prawn suit propulsion cannon is useless!
-Huh?

[lilac kraken]

I will make sure to use it next time

This utiliity is far beyond the comprehension of most people.

[ember holly]

the prawn propulsion can pick up larger things than the normal propulsion can

the laser cutter icon looks different than the laser cutter

[broken cypress]

honestly below zero being smaller means just 1 base is enough

theres pretty much nowhere u cant drive to in 5 minutes

and the seatruck battery basically never drops below like 60% even with spamming the speed boost

[fervent bloom]

How so?

[lilac kraken]

Laser cutter red "beak" on icon, and some details on the model, the tool itself is have an horizontal grey line and on icon is a vertical.

If i see correctly, this are some of the diferences

Sorry my spelling, i am not an native english speaker.

[fervent bloom]

As far as I can tell, your spelling is flawless.

[radiant rover]

ok so i got the first thing from alan, what should i do now? Build a base? Or keep exploring?

[safe sun]

What do you want to do? Do that.

[rose maple]

I want to know if I'm the only one who's snow fox clips into the ground

[eternal garnet]

you're not. To avoid it, look up when placing

[rose maple]

that's what I figured out as well, I wanted to let other people know as well

I'm currently working on beating it 100%

Also how do I not take damage by the snow worm

[radiant rover]

continue the plot

[raven flume]

There is an ||ice worm|| reduction module but not taking damage I think is impossible.

[eternal garnet]

the eastern route up is nearly worm free

[radiant rover]

whats the best base location? Just looking for material availabilty and safety

[eternal garnet]

lilypads or purple vents

[radiant rover]

so around delta?

[rose maple]

Purple vents are not safe

[eternal garnet]

west area is

[raven flume]

Of course I took the west one...

[rose maple]

How do I do the spoiler thing?

[eternal garnet]

mark some words, click the eye

[rose maple]

I'm on mobile

[raven flume]

|| on either side of the word for text and there is an eye Icon for images.

The || works on mobile, or on an apple device at least.

[radiant rover]

What about in between vents and twisty bridges?

[rose maple]

||there's a leviathan somewhere in the purple vents||

[eternal garnet]

sure

the leviathan is east parts of purple

[rose maple]

Ok

I'm curious on what can be counted as a spoiler

[raven flume]

Typically anything story related or later game.

Or what you consider a spoiler and want to spoiler for courtesy.

[rose maple]

Ok, I just don't want to ruin the game for people who haven't beaten it yet

[radiant rover]

The rule in base game was if it’s under 400 meters it’s a spoiler

[rose maple]

Ok

[radiant rover]

I’m playing completely blind lol

[rose maple]

||I used to be scared of the shadow leviathan until I found out the perimeter defense module was op||

[raven flume]

I honestly never got scared of it because it would attack you and leave you alone so you could repair your transport.

[rose maple]

Yeah but you wouldn't lose any health on the transport if you timed it right

[raven flume]

Very true and effective.

[ember holly]

i used to be scared of it
until i punch punch

and it stopped swimming ;3

they do give enough time for me to repair my prawn inbetween attacks

i think i killed 4

[rose maple]

Wow

Pro killing machine

[ember holly]

i got spare time

[wide dawn]

Hmmm thinking about where to make my base

I'm thinking lilypad islands or purple vents

I really like the islands, but purple vents has thermal energy.

[eternal garnet]

purple vents aren't hot enough

you want the lava vents under delta

Which aren't that far

[wide dawn]

Well I was thinking of making thermal plants in thermal vents and then use power transmitters

[radiant rover]

what abt thermal spires?

[wide dawn]

*spires not vents

[eternal garnet]

I don't think those are hot enough. But the lava holes under delta

[wide dawn]

I keep getting vent and spire mixed up lol

Okay

[radiant rover]

is building a base in the thermal spires a good idea? I mean its quite centered and has a good energy source

[eternal garnet]

sure

noiusy neighbors

[wide dawn]

I'm sure it is, I just don't want to build my base there because its dark

I probably should've worded that better

[radiant rover]

ye no, slightly my fault too. I realized it was a bit too passive aggressive

[wide dawn]

I shouldn't have said it like that

I meant it more like maybe you wouldn't mind how dark it gets

[radiant rover]

nono its all good

i got your point

[wide dawn]

I'm building mine in purple vents because its bright, I like purple, and its also close to the ||crystal caves||

Chelicerate: hi

[radiant rover]

makes sence, im close enough to the vents anyways

im building mine at the edge of the thermal spires so i also have access to the twisty bridges

and darkness shouldnt be much of a problem, should it? I mean theres floodlights n stuff

[wide dawn]

It really isn't much of a problem, I just prefer bright areas

I just got jumpscared by a cryptosuchus

Now that I think about it... maybe painting my seatruck black isn't a great idea

[radiant rover]

yes it was

[wide dawn]

It makes it hard to see the hatch in dark places

At least for me

[eternal garnet]

there are lights you can put up. Even flowering spores work, with a nice red glow

[ember holly]

run the seatruck over the thing
vehicular fishslaughter

[jolly nebula]

I like chelicerate

Theyre my friends

[ember holly]

void fish

[tacit thorn]

uuh, thats deep. Where did you build?

[steel stream]

Based on what can be seen in the screenshot, the void...

[stoic surge]

I really miss the large lead deposits from the OG - they would have been so helpful in sector zero

[wide dawn]

The storage module is kinda underwhelming

But I guess its enough

[steel stream]

You can build more than one if you need more storage capacity

[wide dawn]

That makes it slower and bigger though

[safe sun]

Agreed, it has a cripplingly small amount of storage in it. Bless that inventory mod that lets you tweak it.

[radiant rover]

They replaced my man ghostie with this??

[jolly nebula]

Yeah, i like it better though

[radiant rover]

But ghostie :(

[jolly nebula]

Nah, ghost is just not it for me

[radiant rover]

He charged at me in lost river once and got stuck on a tree. He just wanted to say hi aka he is harmless

[severe trail]

Is he? I wish crashfish were that way...

[rich kayak]

jumpscare

escaped the matrix

[wide dawn]

I swear I can NOT find the tech site with the window

Idk why windows had to be locked in the first place

[rich kayak]

subnatica geoguesser where is this ?

[small plume]

Is there a rebreather in bz?

Also where is the safest place to get the sea truck

[wide dawn]

Yes

[small plume]

Where do I get it?

[wide dawn]

I guess twisty bridges

[wide dawn]

Tech site in the twisty bridges

In a data box iirc

[small plume]

Thanks

[wide dawn]

I'm here looking for the one with the window

Np

Found it

[stoic surge]

Seatruck parts can be found around Delta Island, underwater

Scan 3, then build

[gilded robin]

is that thing in deep twisty bridge caves a leviathan or no

[bold monolith]

If you trust the PDA, it says yes.

[stoic surge]

Imagine, if you will, that you're a table coral - just chillin in the currents - then some shmuck puts you in a fabricator and now you're a prawn suit

[safe sun]

Upgrade!

[lapis peak]

Imagine youre a cuddlefish Abandoned. Some Hero saves you! Hatches you, then throws you into an Active spinning reactor forcing you to swim until your eventual brutal death

[wide dawn]

I was just looking for the chelicerate in pv

I didn't find it.

It found me.

[stoic surge]

Cuddlefish?

[proud bear]

Would my ||Prawn|| work above water?

(Like in ||Robo lab place i forgor||)

[ember holly]

it's got legs

it can't fly high but it can move

grapple doesn't work as good as in water

[jolly pier]

can scanner room detect chelicerate?

because i got plan how to find and kill those giant shrimps

[runic citrus]

yes

[steel shoal]

I think it does

In fact, it probably works better

[ember holly]

you can pull yourself up in water with grapple but not in air

[steel shoal]

Have you used the grapple out of water?

Vertically, it's not very good. Horizontally, you can go from the bridge to the Spires in a moment

[calm night]

when i started exploring on land i used prawn suit not the snowfox, it gets attacked easily

[steel shoal]

Snowfox is fun, but not practical

[gilded robin]

can you enter ||mercury II ruin|| in ||lily pad biome|| or just ||purple thermal vent||

[stoic surge]

It's possible to enter any of the 3 parts

[storm stag]

Do 4 nuclear rods recharge faster the energy? Or one is enough

[stoic surge]

Each one will generate around 20k energy, but the rate is the same

[storm stag]

Thanks, so one is enough until depleted.

[stoic surge]

Yeap

I prefer to use the thermal plants, as they don't need to be refueled - just build and forget

[steel shoal]

Nuclear power is also pretty much build and forget. With the amount of rods you get from the wrecks, You can just place 4 and never think about it again.

Nuclear lasts for really long.

[gilded robin]

aren't those all depleted

[steel shoal]

No

The ones in sealed supply boxes are full

[stoic surge]

It will last quite a while, altho some players would prefer to not gather that many materials -- plus, they're quite noisy

[gilded robin]

wait

can you craft them or is that just first subnautica

[steel shoal]

You can craft them, but you don't have to

[stoic surge]

I plan to stick with my good ol bioreactor

[steel shoal]

Bioreactor is so bad 😔 Sufficient, but inefficient and requires maintenance.

Though I understand if you use it.

[stoic surge]

Mine is just inside the entrance of my base, with a pepper plant right next to it - couldn't be easier

[steel shoal]

It could

It could be a Nuclear Reactor with no need to refuel

[stoic surge]

Until it does need refueling

[steel shoal]

How many times have you refueled a Nuclear Reactor?

[stoic surge]

Each time I've built one, and probably a dozen more fuel cells added as they deplete
