[carmine forge]

[lavish meadow]

where should i put my base this time?

[steel shoal]

Cotton Anemone Crevice

This is not the official name but I hope you know where it is

[blissful nymph]

Did you try to back the seatruck onto it?

Oh that was a message from 7 hours ago xD

[viscid plume]

This game is so beautiful

[lavish meadow]

i do lmao

[viscid plume]

Anyone know if the ||architect sanctuary || is safe?

[mellow geode]

What's the worst that could happen?

[viscid plume]

Right

[mellow geode]

Unless you're playing hardcore, dying isn't even that big of a deal, more like an annoyance

[lavish meadow]

im so chronically online i see the subnautica northen lights and not the real one

[steel shoal]

Well, the real life one wasn't visible in my place, so BZ came to rescue. Beautiful game.

[rustic mantle]

where are rubins???

[stoic surge]

wth is a rubin

[steady laurel]

Ruby?

[rustic mantle]

yea

i got them now

[stoic surge]

Oh, ok

My favorite spot for rubies is in the tunnel between the dummy's base and her thermal plant farm -- lots of minerals there

[hollow mango]

Near ruby

[rustic mantle]

sorry but i from poland and i have in polish

[hollow mango]

Real

[stoic surge]

No need to be sorry, we Subnauts live in all nations

[rustic mantle]

okay 🙂

[ember holly]

now i know it runs on vertical

[steady laurel]

interesting

[torpid geode]

should i make a moon pool or a sea truck pool

idk the name fully

[worldly iris]

Both

One for prawn one for seatruck

[torpid geode]

makes sense

[calm night]

i used to play roblox and were feeling bad cause of the community there. i reminded i used to play water games as a kid i searched water games on google and it showed subnautica and subnautica below zero, i bought them 2 and started playing, very calming and the community is very good. i found subnautica's official server by going in subnautica wiki for help :)

[jolly nebula]

How do you have 10 hotbar slots?

[eternal garnet]

one of the most popular game mods

[jolly nebula]

Wait, there are mods other than that nitrox thing?

[eternal garnet]

yes, lots of mods that make small changes, like an interactive map

or makes stuff go faster

[jolly nebula]

Wait, weird question

Is the stasis rifle in bz

Or is it a mod?

[eternal garnet]

it's hidden, avail. by commands

does not work on everything, as it's not intended to be used. But it mostly works. I think it's also missing a skin

[jolly nebula]

Bruhhhhhhhhh

I play switch ):

[eternal garnet]

commands disable achievements for this save

you don't need stasis. No, really.

[jolly nebula]

I cant actually get it, soooooooooooooooooooo

Now i really want to try below zero mods

Shame i dont have a computer

[steel shoal]

That's great to hear! Feel free to ask us anything, we might know a thing or two that wiki doesn't (yet)

[calm night]

thanks :D

i think AL-EN and other aliens made the gun so someone can find the cure

[steel shoal]

You think wrong. I'm not sure if killing everyone who gets close helps with the cure.

[calm night]

ohh

[steel shoal]

Maybe there's a more plausible reason, somewhere.

[calm night]

tell me more

[steel shoal]

||They didn't want people to spread the infection to other planets||

[hollow mango]

Ay landy

[calm night]

ohh makes sence

[regal gate]

Happy 3 year anniversary

[calm night]

happy!

[calm night]

i wonder why when Ryley got back home they wanted 1 trillion credits from him when the mission was find out what happened to degasi and explore

[steel shoal]

It was an automated message, it's very unlikely they forced him to pay. He did complete Aurora's secondary mission though, and BZ happening means Alterra had access to Ryley's PDA.

[calm night]

yay thats good

its crazy how everyone risked their lifes and didnt get money altho the ones hired them need the money

[placid kite]

GUYS

WTH IS THIS

[bold monolith]

A happy fish.

[placid kite]

NAH FR

is it gonna attack me

[bold monolith]

You or the cryptosuchus around there.

[placid kite]

that massive thing

it js had me in its mouth

its a leviathan?

[bold monolith]

Yes.

If you want to know more, how about scanning it?

[placid kite]

i did, my seatruck is at 30 health

[bold monolith]

It doesn't turn very easily.

[placid kite]

i think i escapewd

"relativley safe area"

jesus that was scary

[cinder gale]

Yea that thing is relentless

[placid kite]

only 10hrs in

[cinder gale]

I'm 2 days and 2hours and 33 minutes and I haven't even finished the game yet

[placid kite]

my first time playing subnautica

ever

[hollow mango]

And ur playing below zero?

[placid kite]

ive seen youtubers play original

[cinder gale]

I've played the 1st subnautica about 3 times now

[placid kite]

whats the biggest leviathan

[cinder gale]

I have both games on Xbox and on switch

[hollow mango]

This game really works well with my Thalassophobia

[cinder gale]

Um the ghost leviathan or the sea emperor either one of them i think

[placid kite]

is the "jellyfish" leviathan dangerous

[cinder gale]

It will chase you through the deep sea

[placid kite]

ive seen ppl go near it fior materials

seemed harmless

[hollow mango]

Is it harmless?

[placid kite]

can i get a pic for ghost and sea emporor for comparison

[bold monolith]

No.

[placid kite]

ion trust you

that was NOT a happy fish

not that bad

i remember seeing a leviathan in original game like near the size of that ship thing

[cinder gale]

The reaper leviathan are creepy

[bold monolith]

@cinder gale it was a bit of a spoiler for the first game. Please use spoiler tags for it.

Also the picture would be better in #subnautica-chat.

[placid kite]

||gargantuan leviathan||

[cinder gale]

@placid kite you can see it on Jacksepticeyes playthrough of the 1 subnautica

[placid kite]

cba watching it all

[bold monolith]

I don't know, it looks happy in this picture. I didn't say it was friendly.

[placid kite]

is subnautica and subnautica bz same planet

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[cinder gale]

Both takes place on 4546b

[placid kite]

are like all leviathans, is there only ONE

[cinder gale]

All are leviathans

[placid kite]

say like the chelicerate, is there only 1

in the entire game

[bold monolith]

There are multiple chelicerates on the map if that's your question.

[placid kite]

awh

i dont get leviathans

like are they all same species or are they called that coz of theri aggressive nature

[cinder gale]

You will further into subnautica

[placid kite]

im js glad my seatruck just survivec

going back, hoping it aint there

[cinder gale]

So far I've only run into one kind one from the First game

My sea truck got destroyed twice

[placid kite]

uhh guys

my seatruck just lost full power

i got zapped

[cinder gale]

It will comeback

[placid kite]

theres 2 red eyed sharktopuses

how long erza

[cinder gale]

If it's like the first game not long

[placid kite]

wdym

im oin below 0

[cinder gale]

From the first game there were creatures that could emp your sub and seamoth

[placid kite]

ouch

[cinder gale]

And it would say 0 power for I think 15 seconds or so

[placid kite]

the seatruck speed boost updates, do they need to be found or do they come with mk3+

[cinder gale]

You need to find the upgrades

That section took me 4 hours just to get the upgrades to fight of some of the creatures from the deeper areas

[jovial stone]

Oh hey it's Below Zero's anniversary now, its 3 years old now right?

[steel shoal]

Oh right that's true!

Happy bday my beautiful baby, love Below Zero

My favorite Subnautica

[woeful storm]

exciting

[carmine forge]

happy bday bz

its kinda crazy how it's 3 years old already

[lavish meadow]

its in the files, the mod i use just adds a texture and recipe

[elder badger]

mfw still no pre-rewrite story script release

[steel shoal]

What?

You can go play it right now on steam

[elder badger]

The end of it

[steel shoal]

Yes

It's not finished but you can activate the ending sequence

[elder badger]

I'm sure the story was finished and end just wasn't implemented or completely edited, that's what I'm talking about

[steel shoal]

Besides, the old story was scrapped for a reason

[elder badger]

It was scrapped because directors were changed

[steel shoal]

Not only that.

[elder badger]

Why else?

I haven't played the current version fully because I just don't like the story and the voice actor changes were not very imo

it also just doesn't have the same feel as the first game

[steel shoal]

Ever considered the possibility that maybe it doesn't want to be the same as the first game?

[steel shoal]

The story rewrite came from player feedback too.

[elder badger]

"Same feel" doesn't mean it's an copy with a few changes, which it still essentially is anyway

[steel shoal]

what

[old warren]

where can i read about this old story? or a short resume i would not mind if you want

[steel shoal]

It's in the wiki, but you can also play it.

[old warren]

i can play it?

[steel shoal]

Yes, the latest pre-rewrite update is still available on steam.

[elder badger]

Go to Betas and change the participation to early access 8.1

The actual ending isn't there, though, just everything leading up to right before it

[steel shoal]

From what I heard, the ending is there, but requires being triggered by console commands.

[elder badger]

Never seen that anywhere

[steel shoal]

I'll have to check it.

[elder badger]

It is the same as the first game, but it feels lackluster in comparison, like it was meant to be an addition and not a sequel, if that makes any sense

[steel shoal]

It has a pretty different design philosophy compared to SN. It's clearly trying to be its own thing, and not SN2. But people were really unhappy with the differences, and when they rewrote it to make it more simple, people got upset again.

[elder badger]

I got it when the first early access build was released in 2019 as soon as it came out, imo the original story was more interesting than ||"my sister went missing on this planet controlled by big evil corporation, I'm going to go there alone on a tiny escape ship with no plan and hope I survive and find out what happened"||

[old warren]

meh i read resume and i think i prefer the actual one

||except that i want to know more about the architects and the ending pointed we will know more next time but then sub 2 isnt about them :c (maybe yes?)||

[steel shoal]

Maybe in 2154 BZ2 will come out

[old warren]

thats the actual name of the new planet?

[elder badger]

So they wanted to make it different, but people complained so they didn't?

[steel shoal]

Well, people thought it was repetitive and annoying, and didn't capture the feel of the first game.

[elder badger]

I think "simple[r]" is accurate compared to the old story, I feel like the only suspense in the current story is "what happened to my sister" and there were multiple moments in the previous one

[steel shoal]

The current story has significantly less action.

[steel shoal]

BZ had a very difficult development. I think the players should've trusted the process.

Hopefully SN2 will not get the same fate. It's not easy to make a game when the community wants a different one. If the devs stick to their vision of the game, I think it has potential to be really really great. Rewrites aren't nice.

[elder badger]

yeah

[old warren]

bz isnt that bad anyway, the bar was high to match but in its own is a very good game

[steel shoal]

Below Zero is definitely a great game. Not 10/10, but close. I personally like it more than SN, despite its flaws.

[old warren]

it definitely have some points superior to subnautica like the music, the aesthetics, some improvements in building

the story and the map are the 2 bigs downgrades from subnautica

imo ofc

[steel shoal]

Important to remember that SN has many flaws too, they just get easily covered up by nostalgia.

This is my list of things I enjoyed most in BZ (forgot to include OST, Ben Prunty is soooo good)

[elder badger]

I don't think I ever really had a problem with any of SN other than bugs that caused FPS to be measured in seconds per frame instead of frames per second

[steel shoal]

Maybe they're nitpicks, but the more I think about things, the less sense they make.

And the unfinished features 💔

[elder badger]

OST is real

Simon set the bar and Ben matched it or went above it

[steel shoal]

Ben did such a great job

[elder badger]

Actually almost reminds me of Ghostrunner now that I hear it again

[steel shoal]

Simon's BZ was really disappointing

[viscid plume]

Yo

What do I do after finding the woman

[steel shoal]

Really redid SN but with higher pitch + reverb to sound cold.

[steel shoal]

I don't know, have you visited all the facilities in the map?

[old warren]

lol for you map was improvement xD it shows how subjetive things are

[steel shoal]

Also, read Alterra PDA logs, they have hints

[viscid plume]

Uh idk the woman that is from the ||deggasi||

[elder badger]

Is this even his or are they just crediting him as the orignal creator of the SN theme?

[steel shoal]

No, he worked for BZ's OST before getting fired

[elder badger]

Assuming you mean the Unnofficial Soundtrack

[steel shoal]

You can listen to the unreleased OST

Unreleased?

Is that the word?

I dunno, it's the one with the twisty bridges background

[elder badger]

I found this
https://open.spotify.com/album/2mEnE7NhOoXSXcu0j4Usp0

[steel shoal]

That one

[elder badger]

It seems more like he's just credited, especially since he's only on one of the songs

He got fired in early 2018

[dense forge]

my main problem with BZ is that there is no

[steel shoal]

You call that a problem?

[elder badger]

Map is too small

[dense forge]

yeah

[elder badger]

yes

[viscid plume]

So where do I look?

[dense forge]

I love the cyclops so much

[steel shoal]

I'm glad it doesn't have the Cyclops, It'd be horrible.

[safe sun]

I don't think people would complain as much about the Cyclops not being in the game if the Sea Truck modules were better.

[steel shoal]

Visit all the facilities in the map you scanned in Delta Station.

[viscid plume]

Oh I was supposed to do that?

[dense forge]

I would have loved for the seatruck to not just be the seamoth with only lengthwise extentions

[old warren]

if seatruck would have some kind of "blank" module able to be builded it would have been cheffkiss

[dense forge]

Dont get me wrong I like the building aspect of it but I really dont like how limited it is and how you cant build in it

[viscid plume]

It isn’t even the seamoth it’s just an downgrade

[steel shoal]

Sure, but people have to understand that the Cyclops would not work properly.

[dense forge]

yeah sadly

[safe sun]

Yes I'm aware of that lol wasn't the point I was making/addressing.

[elder badger]

With the map size yeah, but the Seatruck is kind of just dissapointing

[viscid plume]

I don’t mind the sea truck tbh it’s bad but it’s better than nothing

[steel shoal]

I found the truck fun.

[elder badger]

The idea is cool, but I don't think it was executed as well as it could have been

[dense forge]

Id love a much bigger map and a cyclops or at least something similar or bigger than it

[elder badger]

Atlas sub when

[safe sun]

I like it, but I refuse to play BZ without the inventory mod so I can tweak the values of the lockers.

[elder badger]

lol

[dense forge]

Its a mobile base and doesnt turn into a snail when you put stuff in it (cough cough seatruck)

[safe sun]

Yeah the speed penalty is brutal. I hate that too.

[steel shoal]

Well, clearly BZ was going in a different direction that did not require the Cyclops. People hated it, so they tried something different, easier to use.

[elder badger]

It would be fun to have something like the Cyclops with an actual two or three person requirement in the next game

[steel shoal]

But as soon as it gets taken away, people suddenly love the Cyclops and want it out of nowhere.

[elder badger]

People hated the Cyclops?

[dense forge]

have an option for that would be nice, but also have single person crew option

[steel shoal]

In #subnautica-chat, people insult the Cyclops every day because it's too big.

[elder badger]

ngl that is a skill issue

[old warren]

||im sure of the 3, cyclops its the less used and liked, but idk if hated||

[dense forge]

I personally loved my cyclops and genuinely cried when my first one died

[steel shoal]

Ikr, but still, the community is a bit bipolar when it comes to things like this.

[elder badger]

It is a giant sub that the game literally tells you "three people recommended but you'll have to make do without"

[worldly condor]

Fr though, the cyclops is literally all pluses if you use it properly

[dense forge]

My order of vehicles are
1.Cyclops
2.PRAWN
3.Seamoth
9.Seatruck

[steel shoal]

Losing a Cyclops on accident is quite the feat.

[dense forge]

It was literally because my laptop was slow and something loaded into it and glitched it to death

[steel shoal]

Takes an impressive amount of irresponsibility.

Oh, glitches. Ouchies.

[dense forge]

I learned my lesson

[worldly condor]

And idk abt you, but ppl complain abt it using too much power and i rlly don’t know how that is, like do they just keep shield gen on permanently? 🤷‍♂️

[dense forge]

I genuinely tried in creative to see the cyclops destroy thing and while trying to die to a reaper I on complete accident killed the reaper

[elder badger]

The most hate I've ever seen for it is the crappy locker sizes, which I agree with and use a mod to fix

[dense forge]

It really doesnt need that much power, I really never used the sheild nor the decoys. I beat the game just fine

[steel shoal]

The lockers are annoying, true

[dense forge]

Though you can put your own lockers inside the cyclops

[elder badger]

Laughs in Cyclops nuclear reactor mod

That was fun, it just makes you un-killable

[dense forge]

I love how spacious and customizale the inside was of the cyclops

[worldly condor]

Exactly but it’s like famous for using too much power, like idk if ppl just never realized that silent running uses power or the other upgrades do too

[steel shoal]

The Snowfox is my favorite vehicle. I may be insane, but I may also be a misunderstood genius.

[worldly condor]

Ikr

[steel shoal]

The problem is not the Snowfox, it's the Ice Worm triggering dismount when in the general area. Fix the worm, not the fox.

[dense forge]

I only had to keep my thing on slow speed of which I really got used to and dont notice much difference from standard and I only got attacked once by a leviathan and I easily escaped by turning off my engine

[worldly condor]

Eh not rlly, I was pretty good at cyclops driving, but the snow fox was just too klunky, like I would think a hoverbike would be easier to maneuver

[elder badger]

ah yes

[steel shoal]

It is really easy to maneuver, it's just in a different way than you would expect. Took a bit to get used to, but once I did, I started taking it everywhere.

[dense forge]

The snowfox has some weird controls, like you can look around but it feels like i have to swipe my mouse 15 times just to look 1 degree to the left

[worldly condor]

The snow fox was just painful to drive and I ended up just taking my prawn instead

[dense forge]

yeah

[steel shoal]

It's unusual for sure.

[dense forge]

What would be cool in the next game would be some kind of cyclops docking bay or other big vehicle docking bay

with custom insides

[worldly condor]

Idk if it’s different on pc, but I’m a Xbox player so maybe that has smth to do with it

[steel shoal]

I play on PS4, it's similar to XBox

[worldly condor]

Oh ok idk then

[dense forge]

on pc trying to pilot the snowfox is living hell

[elder badger]

It's been a while since I used it, but iirc it felt "too light" on KBM

Which sounds crazy since it's a hover bike, but it doesn't seem right

[steel shoal]

It takes a bit to get used to the controls.

[woeful storm]

very tragic

[dense forge]

the cyclops is the best in the game

[woeful storm]

we all know its the prawn suit that deserves the hate frfr

[dense forge]

The cyclops makes things so much easier

[dense forge]

now that is controversial

[steel shoal]

I think it's the Neptune. Can't even go underwater with it, like what's the point then???

[dense forge]

💀

[steel shoal]

At least the Snowfox is fast

[dense forge]

dont get why it needs lockers in the neptune

[steel shoal]

Immersion, and they look cool

[old warren]

||cuddlefishes|| ofc

[woeful storm]

i mean it isnt bad its just like the worst comparatively
the seamoth and cyclops are just better frfr

[dense forge]

seamoth is below prawn

[woeful storm]

and then you get to bz and get seatruck which is uh idk the only choice so 👍 and snowfox which funny #subnautica-modding snowfox going over water is silly

[steel shoal]

I genuinely stopped enjoying the Prawn lately. Got tired of it, I guess. It's annoying to drive, I only use it for the Propulsion Cannon Arm.

[dense forge]

Prawn can go much deeper, makes collection of resources so much easier, and goes hand in hand with the cyclops

[old warren]

||but it doesnt have sonar and perimeter defense||

[dense forge]

I love the ||drill arms|| they made things so much easier istg

[woeful storm]

universal (relatively) fast ship > ghook go brr and can't go up well

i hate to say it

[dense forge]

It makes up for perimeter defense with its arm customization and if you need sonar thats kinda sad

[steel shoal]

Drills are awful, the noise is engraved in my head, and they take so long. I now go to the Aurora in SN for titanium, and in BZ to Arctic Spires for pretty much everything.

[woeful storm]

whats wrong with cool views smh....

[dense forge]

The collection throughout biomes was what makes the game fun, you find new places, and that progresses the game without you really trying

You discover new areas and new lore stuff looking for resources

[old warren]

sorry for being sad then? 🤣 ||sonar is by far my fav upgrade yes (both seamoth and cyclops)||

[woeful storm]

~~i play creative mode 👍 ~~

[steel shoal]

I don't know how the leviathan ""slayers"" handle it. The noise scares me, at this point.

[dense forge]

Sonar is cool dont get me wrong its just not something thats a factor in if I like it or not

[steel shoal]

I don't like sonar

Waste of precious power

[old warren]

yeh dnt like it is good, calling "need it is sad" is mmmmmm why

[dense forge]

Me giving the ||dragon leviathan||'s corpse a wee old kiss after i drill armed it to death

[steel shoal]

I really don't want to change the stock powercells, ever.

[steel shoal]

Yuck.

[dense forge]

Im ||Margreit||

[steel shoal]

You do know that the drill has like half the dps of the claw, right?

[elder badger]

20 vs 40

[dense forge]

It makes me feel cooler

[steel shoal]

She's not a good character, you know?

[steel shoal]

28 vs 50 or something

[dense forge]

getting two drill arms just feels like you are god

[steel shoal]

She's evil in BZ, and morally questionable in SN.

[elder badger]

||Killing a reaper?||

[steel shoal]

Are gods really that immobile?

[woeful storm]

ehh

[elder badger]

Also wdym evil?

[dense forge]

wdym immobile its cool

She aint that bad

[steel shoal]

She is.

[woeful storm]

no grappling hook on a prawn suit....

[elder badger]

yeah, 28 drill and 50 default

[woeful storm]

dont you have any morals?

[elder badger]

real

No grappling arm should be a crime

[woeful storm]

how can you sleep at night when you use something other than double grappling hook

[dense forge]

In SN ||She tried to figure out what was goin on and helped out bart (despite how crazy she was) do research.|| so I dont think its THAT bad

[dense forge]

very well

two grappling arms is redundant

[steel shoal]

||She gave unstable explosives to Sam. And not because of the cause, she only wanted anarchy against Alterra. She also very willingly blew up the labs' nuclear reactor with no care for whoever was inside||

[woeful storm]

ok but fun and what else are you gonna do
claw? im like the only one who likes killing leviathans
drill? whatever
torpedo? honestly not that uncool but i never get a use for it

[elder badger]

I would say she was confident more than anything

[dense forge]

yeah

[steel shoal]

The Reaper was not to help Bart, it was to show off her hunting skills. Bart wanted live fish. She kept destabilizing the crew and eventually got them all killed.

[dense forge]

womp womp

[dense forge]

Still did some stuff to help and went out and fetched at least something also crazy spoiler not in spoiler hmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhm

[elder badger]

||The Torgals wouldn't have survived as long as they had without her, partially because Paul was a moron||

[steel shoal]

It's SN content.

[steel shoal]

If she didn't indirectly murder them, and tried to cooperate, maybe they could've done what Ryley did. Paul was going to die of old age anyway.

[dense forge]

||Paul was a major reason they werent the ones who survived||

[steel shoal]

Paul was unhelpful. Maida was careless. Both are to blame, for different things.

[dense forge]

fair enough

[steel shoal]

Bart was trying really hard to make Maida's careless efforts worth something.

He convinced Paul to move to the Grand Reef.

[dense forge]

I hate the grand reef so much

its confusing layout and hard to navigate sometimes

[old warren]

||while yes the second reaper went after her and its dead mate, its circunstancial, they could have been killed simply while gathering a titanium, same as how all the auroras died, it wasnt maida killing them||

[elder badger]

||Other than the Warpers and stupid zappy zappy squids, I think it's fine, ghosties are frens||

[dense forge]

I never had a problem with warpers

[steel shoal]

She was careless. The reaper she brought was unnecessary and unasked for. Even Paul was aware of the danger, and he's usually clueless.

[dense forge]

Like ive not ONCE had a warper try to attack me

though I usually moved too fast for them to try anything

still they werent that bad

[old warren]

i dont think even the most maida fan would say she was carefull

[steel shoal]

She indirectly killed the Torgals, and then ||indirectly killed Sam and Parvan.|| She keeps being reckless for the sake of anarchy, and cares only about herself. She even thought about looting the growbeds and leave the Torgals to die, but decided to instead make them build the DRG base. ||And withholds information from Robin, only handing it out if she does her work.|| At first, she's badass, but it in hindsight, she's just evil.

[elder badger]

Bart survived though and died to Kharra

[dense forge]

I dont know why they thought the grand reef was a good idea that place sucks

[elder badger]

Resources and probably that it was relatively close

[steel shoal]

Because they found alien stuff down there.

[elder badger]

that too

[old warren]

||they probably were after going deep, wich means lost river||

[steel shoal]

They were studying the tablet at the time of the attack.

[elder badger]

Although Bart's later base (after Paul died and Marge "died") was in a version of the safe shallows

[dense forge]

every new person ive seen has almost quit the game because of that stupidly hard to navigate area

[dense forge]

wasnt that one in the trailer?

[elder badger]

Yeah, crushed by the Aurora

[old warren]

yeah idk what happened to that base in the safe shallows? its in one trailer why not ingame?

[dense forge]

Im pretty sure that one got smashed by the aurora

or by debris

[old warren]

oh that makes sense

[dense forge]

maybe burried

[old warren]

yeah crash site could perfectly be safe shallows before

[steel shoal]

He could've probably found the cure. He had very little progress on the infection study because Maida would not stop mutilating every fish beyond recognition, and when he got the "hallucinations" he was depressed and hopeless.

Teamwork is important.

[elder badger]

I mean if you knew you were sick and randomly started getting "hallucinations" giving very vague messages that you comprehend as something about saving you, wouldn't you also think they were hallucinations?

[dense forge]

Riley comes in from the swim team to solo 4546b

[old warren]

yeah there isnt much teamwork with riley

[dense forge]

everyone else died so not much of a choice

[dense forge]

Makes me wonder what Coop will be like in SN2

[steel shoal]

He didn't have anyone in his way. Can't say the same about Bart.

[dense forge]

Watch subnautica 2 be Bart somehow surviving the disease like maida somehow did

[elder badger]

Look at this guys!!!! He didn't actually die to the virus and get crushed by the giant space ship!!! We don't know how this happened!!!

[old warren]

you just hate maida xD
wich is fair ofc she is as lovable as hateable (?

[steel shoal]

If Paul dropped his leadership complex, and Maida stopped being mindlessly anarchic and reckless, maybe the whole story would had gone sooo nice.

[dense forge]

yeah

SN2 being the universe where Bart either gets out of there or they get it together

[old warren]

yeah but then some random peeps in earth wouldnt have a game so im glad they didnt

[steel shoal]

Maida apologists forgiving conspiring murder because she looks cool and beats up fish..

[dense forge]

Am I the only one that looks up at the very close moon and thinks how devastating it would be if it was real

[steel shoal]

The seas would be wild.

[dense forge]

I mean the moon is always in the sky which is kind of odd I think

Might be why tides aint that bad

[steel shoal]

Both moons. There are two.

[dense forge]

YEah

[elder badger]

what the heck is an orbit 🔥

[dense forge]

Odd how you can see both from Sector Zero

[dense forge]

There is possibly someway to make it work but its some weird orbit

[old warren]

yeah im sure we had this talk some days ago and i think i said to you the only thing maida have is that she is badass an that attracts people.

[dense forge]

but at the same time seasons go wild

[steel shoal]

I don't remember it, but it's likely.

[old warren]

i do because i think of you about maida, the same way i feel myself about the brotherhood in fo4
we are just against the currents

[dense forge]

I wouldnt be suprised if bart found SOME way to survive since we never got any confirmation of his death nor a corpse so he could have just plot armored the Karaah like maida

[steel shoal]

I hate the brotherhood too, Maida makes me think of them.

[elder badger]

Brotherhood of Darkness???

[old warren]

ups

[elder badger]

oh wait, not SW

[dense forge]

Man avery quinn was a real one

[nova isle]

OHHH MY EYES

[eternal garnet]

oh that bug. Yes

I wrote a bug for this. It did not get fixed

[nova isle]

apparently not

i wonder how glitchy the next game will be

[eternal garnet]

what GPU?

[dense forge]

I feel like the progression in BZ is much harder and stranger than in base game

Its hard to find fragments since most of them are seaglide fragments everywhere and its hard to get anything to get down to the helpful stuff

Its not even a spoiler there are waaayyy too many seaglides everywhere

[eternal garnet]

that's a sign you need to move away from north twisty

[dense forge]

Thats literally everywhere I go

also I dont got no habitat builder and its really unclear where I need to go

[eternal garnet]

120m deep in the canyon, a little south. In a small building

[old warren]

||in the antena island there are builders too wich is preatty easy to find early even if you dont know what are you looking for||

[dense forge]

I also cant find the rebreather or nothin either

[dense forge]

I dont know where to get the habitat builder

[broken badge]

Explore twisty bridges more

There’s one place that has a crane, and one place has just an I tube (base piece, be sure you scan the window). Both have databoxes. I always forget which is which, but together you will come out with the high capacity tank BP and the rebreather BP. The I tube has a habitat builder you can scan inside it iirc

That’s what meatie was alluding to

The small building (the I tube)

[viscid plume]

||How do I get past the snow stalker in the deggasi woman’s base?||

[broken badge]

You don’t until you do something else in the game

[viscid plume]

||Is there like a map I can scan or something?||

[broken badge]

Doesn’t she ask for your help with something?

[steel stream]

Two maps, one in delta station and other in phi robotics (but not related to the door you want to get through now)

[viscid plume]

||The tower thing but I don’t know how to get the materials||

[viscid plume]

Thanks

[broken badge]

You should look for some wrecks

[steel stream]

Then you need to explore...scan the thing on her table

[viscid plume]

There is a big one called the mercury

[viscid plume]

I did

[broken badge]

Maybe explore the Mercury

[steel stream]

And did you notice the seatruck upgrade module on the floor? It's easy to miss and very helpful

[viscid plume]

I got it

Is there like anything I should be worried out in the mercury

[steel stream]

Not in, but maybe around...

[broken badge]

Have your laser cutter. Mind your oxygen (remember where there are oxygen plants)

[viscid plume]

I need one?

[viscid plume]

What’s the things around it?

[broken badge]

Some doors can only be accessed with a cutter

[viscid plume]

Are those doors useful? Do they contain what I need

[broken badge]

I think you need them to get full access, but it’s been awhile since I’ve gone through all the wreckage

[viscid plume]

Ok I will update

[viscid plume]

||I got some useful stuff but how do I get the parallel battery?||

[broken badge]

PPU? Investigate the wreckage

You need 3 scans I think

[viscid plume]

Uhh what’s it look like

[broken badge]

Oh that’s right, you need the cutter for the PPU, some of them anyway

They’re in different sorts of places, walls or on the sides of things, just keep a look out for stuff you can scan or says to cut (I’m guessing it has some pop up label for the Parallel Processing Unit when you look at them)

There’s only so many things you can interact with

You’ll know it when you see one

[viscid plume]

Do I need the cutter?

[broken badge]

For some, not all of them

Some have a cover you have to cut off to scan

[viscid plume]

Like is it enough?

[broken badge]

I don’t remember how many have covers. There’s 3 sections of wreckage. The largest portion of wreck I believe has 3 in it, which is the bow I believe, the next smallest has 2 PPUs, and the smallest section which I think is just the thrusters only has one PPU in it to scan

The laser cutter however is basic exploratory gear, you should consider it part of your essential game equipment

It was pretty easy to find in the initial area, twisty bridges (seabed) but if not there, then in the sea monkey caves in the kelp areas

There are usually some laser cutter fragments inside the wrecks as well

[viscid plume]

I found it I just need diamonds

[viscid plume]

I was just about to get the third piece when a shark destroyed my ship

[white blaze]

DAMN cookie bad luck there

[dry oar]

Hi

me is new here

[viscid plume]

[fallen vortex]

[worldly condor]

Not rlly, I find that it’s not rlly as helpful in bz than in the base game, like for the essential pieces of mercury, you don’t need it, it just makes it easier

[rustic mantle]

hey guys what is your source of energy?? mine are penglins

[echo trail]

You're a monster

At least it's not babys!

[rustic mantle]

:)

[echo trail]

Right???

[rustic mantle]

yk my uncle is reaper leviathan

penglins are babys

peangwins are parnets

[echo trail]

Oh right

[rustic mantle]

and you cant pick up parents

[steel stream]

If they grow into pengwings in containment, you can pick them up there

[rustic mantle]

ik

[steel stream]

Never tested if they grow in there

[steel shoal]

They grow, yes.

[bitter lance]

Hello everyone, I was asking myself if there was a way to enter on the second room of the ||| koopa site (behind the door you can see a second room, even with the sonar you can see that there actually is a real room||| does anyone already gone there?

[steel shoal]

It's a fake room.

You can't get there, only if you noclip. There aren't resources there, and the room is small.

[bitter lance]

Oh pretty sad 🥲

[steel shoal]

I think it's a reference to that door in the Aurora Prawn Bay.

Both make us feel like there's a whole room behind them, and then they're not even interactable.

[broken badge]

You should have a laser cutter tbh, there’s really no reason not to have one

At least imo

There’s more places to use them than just wrecks as well

[bitter lance]

xD I litteraly took 3h to build a stair with box to go to this place

[deep kettle]

That's truly an ice cold statement 😔

[safe sun]

It's okay to not like it but calling it a terrible game is objectively wrong.

Why do you think it's not a good game?

[white blaze]

i would also agree here with tuna here its descent game still lacking in alot of things but then that is what happens when u dont have a proper buget for the game

[calm night]

BZ story is gold

i really like al-en and how we search for sam

altho prawn suit has something like speed module when you press shift and makes you faster, and if you have the grappling arm

[broken badge]

The games are quite different in some key aspects, but I don’t think that makes BZ bad. Game devs want to try different things, which of course some people will like those things, and some will not. Some don’t like the smaller map, but that had to do with the game starting out as DLC and it grew to be more than that, but was not planned to be a full Subnautica-sized experience (which is why it’s not Subnautica 2, but considered more like 1.5).

There are some legitimate things people do complain about, such as issues with the story. Some stuff, like folks who want the cyclops in BZ, well it just wouldn’t fit😅 There will always be people who don’t like games for whatever reason, which of course that’s fine, not every game will be to everyone’s liking.

Having opinions about games, same as anything else, is fine. Just remember they’re subjective, not statement of facts. Not liking something about a game, doesn’t mean a game is necessarily bad (an objective statement). So you could say stuff like you thought it wasn’t good, or felt like the story wasn’t good, or you found it wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as the first one, if you get what I’m saying🙂 These are opinion statements where you’re not trying to make factual statements about the game.

In other words it how you phrase it
Although I’d disagree with the seatruck being unimaginative, it grew on me and I think it fits very well with the map size and gameplay (but again, everyone can have their opinion, just like how I’ll never be a prawn fan lol😂)

Enjoy your “tome” xD

[calm night]

indeed true

[karmic lagoon]

W or L early base?

[white blaze]

its how u see ur home Spork make it the way u want it to look like and to expand when u can. only you can love ur home truely

[vital vapor]

L early base, it needs more storage

[karmic lagoon]

good motivation

[steel shoal]

Not nearly enough plants/chairs.

[karmic lagoon]

ok

[fervent bloom]

More partitions would add to it as well, I think.

[vital vapor]

I am a storage fiend

If I run out of empty lockers I will immediately throw the scanner room into titanium mode and go ham until my inventory is full
To make like 5 more lockers

[urban jolt]

I usually have a locker full of live fish all the time for some reason.

[vital vapor]

Also is it just me or do the multipurpose/big rooms without glass roofs feel just as cramped as making a Minecraft base with a two block high ceiling

[urban jolt]

I just feel like there's always too much empty space

[fervent bloom]

I definitely don't think so; I agree more with Atlas.

[vital vapor]

Maybe I have claustrophobia

finished my replay of subnautica yesterdya and now replaying BZ.

howdy

[tiny summit]

I'm finally replaying BZ and Im now making my 3rd scanner because of these dang sea monkeys

[eternal garnet]

on PC, quickly press E to hide your tool. console: at least switch away from seaglide

[tiny summit]

I'm on Switch

[eternal garnet]

with the glide you are much faster than them

[tiny summit]

I know I haven't gotten it yet

[steady laurel]

i just grab mine back

i had fins no seaglide and i could jsut grab it back

[crystal terrace]

why did they change the name of shale and sand chunks

[eternal garnet]

they also changed contents. Always one resource or titanium. Scan them!

[nova isle]

i dont think ive ever had my stuff stolen by a sea monkey

they dont want the smoke

[carmine bobcat]

Well once ||Al-an|| is with you the monkies don’t take your stuff

[safe chasm]

I almost lose my prawn suit on a part with land

[sudden fog]

I'm thinking about buying the game soon, but I need to know something

Is BZ a prequel or a sequel

[worldly iris]

Sequel

[steel stream]

Not actually a sequel, more like spinoff

[shell plinth]

Honestly I would prefer if below zero was labeled as dlc (it would avoid a lot of confusion rn)

[steel shoal]

That would cause even more confusion.

It is not a DLC.

[tacit thorn]

Well, below zero is an DLC level game released as standalone.

[steel shoal]

What..???

[urban jolt]

I think it counts as a sequel because while it doesn't exactly pick up where Subnautica left off it still furthers the story

The Subnautica series feels as if it is more about 4546B itself.

It's not just about Ryley or Robin

[steel shoal]

I think that the Subnautica series will follow Alterra, and BZ was just its own thing.

[brisk ibex]

my brother just got attacked by a three of the things in the void that is crazy

[shell plinth]

It doesn’t further the story in any way besides being more specific on stuff. There’s no crazy new thing that we discover, it’s just more in depth on things that already existed

[viscid plume]

Hi

||What do I do after taking to Marguerite in her green house and picking up the pad ||

[vital vapor]

I mean I feel like adding a whole new area and lore, essentially doubling the amount of content in the series counts as at LEAST a spinoff, not a DLC

[viscid plume]

Could you help?

[vital vapor]

Not to mention the 2 new base pieces and an entirely new vehicle that combines the all in one nature of the cyclops and the compactness of the seamoth

[viscid plume]

Could someone help

[shell plinth]

Like how it compacts the map into essentially a linear game with no replay value

[safe sun]

I believe that's the end of her questline. Check your Databank for info on where you should go next.

[viscid plume]

Thank you 🙏

[shell plinth]

It’s not a bad game at all, I’m just saying it doesn’t add as much stuff compared to the first game, definitely perfect for a DLC. They even call what should be Subnautica 3 Subnautica 2…

[vital vapor]

It's still not a DLC
I agree, there is absolutely NOWHERE interesting to go except the next marked location
But I wasn't saying that there was

I'm sayin it's not a DLC

[shell plinth]

I concurr you are correct

[safe sun]

They even call what should be Subnautica 3 Subnautica 2…
Imagine saying the devs are wrong about their own games lol

[vital vapor]

Moving on to something else, I'm getting real tired of people thinking the next Subnautica game will just be called "Subnautica 3"
It's gonna be "Subnautica: Into The Void" or smthn

[shell plinth]

Yeah true, but logically it would be Subnautica 3, their choice ofc

[safe sun]

Just because what the devs decide doesn't line up with what you want? That's not how it works dude.

[shell plinth]

What.

[safe sun]

"Logically" i.e. according to you, not them.

[elder badger]

@steel shoal did you find any commands to allow you to finish the story in the last original story build?

[elder badger]

BZ is more of an expansion for SN than a sequel

or a spin off

[shell plinth]

Exactly! #below-zero-chat message

[elder badger]

I think spin-off would make more sense

[safe sun]

Yep. Like Fallout New Vegas.

[shell plinth]

Well yeah especially now

[elder badger]

DLC and expansion in games imply that it's part of the original game somehow

Hey @safe sun, do you know of any way that you can see the end of the original story?

[shell plinth]

Well uhm technically sector zero is shown at the end so uhm

[safe sun]

I don't think you can.

[elder badger]

Andy said she thought there was a command for it or something, but I don't think there is

[elder badger]

dang

It would be nice if a script was released or something

[karmic lagoon]

killed one 🙂

[shell plinth]

I have never killed a leviathan in BZ.. maybe because they pose no threat

[karmic lagoon]

He almost destroyed my prawn suit

[elder badger]

They don't in normal SN either, unless you add mods that make them more aggressive

[shell plinth]

With a seatruck

[karmic lagoon]

ok

[elder badger]

No, that's just a skill issue

I've gone past the ghost in the BK many times in my Cyclops and it did not care

[shell plinth]

Bro this dog is 🔥

[karmic lagoon]

why do torpedo arms look like double barrel shotguns

[elder badger]

You can also avoid the reapers in the Dunes easily

I've parked my Cyclops there and moved around in it and they did not care

[shell plinth]

With a cyclops or with prawn?

[elder badger]

yes

[shell plinth]

Yeah cuz it only detects moving threats or threats that makes noise

[elder badger]

I mean moved in the Cyclops

[shell plinth]

(Engines makes noise)

[karmic lagoon]

should I go?

[elder badger]

meh, they're kind of dumb and move slow, just dodge the mouth

[karmic lagoon]

in this

[elder badger]

oh

[steel shoal]

Hm, I was wrong, sorry.

[elder badger]

grapple arm though, so I don't see why it would be a problem

[elder badger]

Gave me hope 😅

Maybe one day they'll release it and someone will turn it into a mod, although that sounds like a RoTA level task

[steel shoal]

Rota 😟

[viscid plume]

Hi Andy just wondering but where do I go after going to|| marguerites green house? ||

[shell plinth]

Bruh Rota (to our knowledge) has added like 1 morbillion items and thingies, i think it’s a lower task than that (maybe harder but shorter)

[viscid plume]

||degasi seabases||

oh wait

forget everything i said

i thought this was subnautica chat not subnautica below zero

[karmic lagoon]

wtf happened to my screen

[dry oar]

[real knoll]

So I hope I don't parade on anything but concerning the story I don't know whether or not to do Delta first or Alan (I don't think it's worth putting the | annotations) as from what I understand you go to the emergency beacon, discover the huge caves, obviously use the seaglide to go to the little chamber and find the Alien Artefact. This allows you to pinpoint the location which is always below the level of seatruck resistance. Does Delta Island have a ||Modification Table|| and if so do I go Delta then Alan?

[shell plinth]

Scarier definitely goes to Subnautica but what’s better in general I’d say they are equal, but I have a slight preference over Subnautica for it’s non linearity from early to mid game.

[fallen vortex]

Pretty difficult question-
Subnautica’s map is huge and has a lot more biomes that are fun to explore itself and fauna with flora, on the other hand, Subnautica BZ’s map is pretty small compared to first part, and not that much of a biomes, i mean- there are a lot of different biomes underground but meh- i’d say i prefer subnautica BZ in first question cuz it looks so beautiful just either walking around on icebergs and swim underwater.
The second question is easier than the previous one cuz it’s easily Subnautica due to very, and i mean it, deep biomes that occasionally can surprise you with either something cute (for example: Reginald), or terrifying (Reapers obv). Subbautuca’s world, as i stated earlier, is huge as hell and scares a lot of people with depth and carnivores that are living in the depth, but as you go deeper, you just understand what’s where located and you just get over that scare-
So yeah, that’s my opinion on this

God damn

[marble cradle]

Why can't I find alien containment unit?

[steel stream]

Mercury2 bow section, in lilypad islands near border with tree spires

Ah

[torpid geode]

i dont think this is enough i definitely need more

[jolly nebula]

Below zero is better, but the og is scarier

[humble owl]

Subnautica

[tacit iris]

The original as a better story but below zero as better every thing else in my opinion

[tulip pecan]

someone have information how to install "Built in seatruck"?

[abstract pulsar]

you guys now how to play in multi in below yero or maybe subnautica?

[wild pulsar]

Mods

[jolly nebula]

Yeah, the story is a bit confusing in bz

[wild pulsar]

Is bz worth getting

[loud matrix]

Yes

[next current]

Kinda forgot they made the seaglide a 2×2 item instead of 2×3.

Sometimes I wish they backported that change to SN.

[steel shoal]

Same, but the opposite

I forget SN's Seaglide is bigger. This is because I don't have one.

[stray steppe]

BZ is just flawed, I think if they made it a complete DC and you was able to get to it from the first subnautica game that would have been awesome. But at the end of the day Subnautica is just a complete experience for me.

[steel shoal]

BZ is not SN. You wanted SN again, and got a story focused game with dialogue between the protagonist and other characters. Doesn't really seem fair to compare two games from different genres, that try to achieve different things.

You're right though, BZ has problems, but doesn't everything have them? Well, except for me. But SN wasn't perfect either. Have you noticed how the Dragon has different skeletons in each PDA entry?

[stray steppe]

I understand. I'm not 100% sure what it is but the game just feels different for me. A guy in a youtube video said if BZ came out first it would have probably been fine. This is all mine and one other person's opinion and yes I was looking for somthing like the first but I'm not sure how it would look. 🙂

[chrome heath]

hi people, I got a question, is it like in the original game, where you couldn’t get a rebreather until you get an ultra high capacity oxygen tank, or do you get the rebreather another way? I’ve just came back to the game and I just want to know

[steel shoal]

Yea, the game is very different, but on purpose. I think part of the hate comes from the false expectations. Very rarely I see people talking about the actual problems, most get stuck on "SN was different".

[steel shoal]

It's a databox, you need to find it.

[chrome heath]

ah, okay

[steel shoal]

If you want a hint ||it's on a foundation, in a deeper part of Twisty Bridges||

[chrome heath]

ah, I think I know where you’re referring to, is it near the ||abandoned pipe thing||?

[steel shoal]

Yes, near that, kinda.

[chrome heath]

further down?

[steel shoal]

I don't remember

It's at 170m

[chrome heath]

I’ll have a look around there

found it

[bold monolith]

In the original game you need to craft the high capacity tank, not the ultra high capacity tank.

[chrome heath]

oh

how many of yalls actually use grav traps? I’ve never seen anyone use them and I feel like they’re highly underrated

[steel shoal]

Never felt the need, personally.

[chrome heath]

they are heavily underrated in early game, especially when you’re struggling for food and water, when you’re in mid game or late-mid game, they’re not as useful but I do still use them at times

I wasn’t encountering that many seaglide fragments but now I dont need them they’re absolutely everywhere and there are no seatruck fragments

it’s almost as if it’s hardcoded in the game

[jolly nebula]

I never used the grav traps

I usually just eat the creepvine stuff

[chrome heath]

vegetarian diet fr

[steel stream]

For vegan diet, try the shrooms near the lifepod, give more food than creepvine. Creepvine seeds work for early water source though (and they don't rot)

[chrome heath]

anyone got any idea where to find the old base for margurite? (however her name is spelt)

[steel shoal]

Marguerite. I don't know which one you're talking about.

[steel stream]

She has ||the base she lives in lilypad islands, the greenhouse on iceberg. Not really a base, but a cave from her base leads to thermal plant station||

[chrome heath]

the one in the lilypads

[steel stream]

Go to pilot's last known location marker||, dive in the cave with light-glowing plants on the wall, follow them and light sticks to 360m depth||

[steel shoal]

There's another way. ||Find the Ventgardens, enter the cave under the one closer to the Lilypads. Follow the thermal plants and power transmitters to it.||

[fossil olive]

I like the fact y'all just doin ||this||

[chrome heath]

ughhh why can’t ||marguerit just give you a laser cutter…||

[steel shoal]

Maybe she suspects you already have one. Those monkeys in the Kelp Forest might know a bit or two about laser cutters.

[chrome heath]

I now have to go out and get TWO fragments

and ontop of that, by this point in my playthrough, I had a seatruck, but no, because those damn seaglider fragments are taking up so much space

well… that was before my seatruck was crushed under the pressure in my other playthrough so I had to go out and get ANOTHER seatruck

[bold monolith]

They don't take the place of the Seatruck fragments though.

It reads like that's what you're saying.

[slender palm]

Starting my BZ hardcore world (:

[steel stream]

Why hardcore? Use custom mode and make the game actually harder

[woeful storm]

lul

[crystal terrace]

how do I get the coffee machine to work?

[steel shoal]

Build it, insert thermos in it.

[slender palm]

Never played Hardcore before, I was gunna do that before anything more

Besides, I want a fun challenge, nothing absurd

[crystal terrace]

is there any use for the rebreather? it doesn't do anything for me

[radiant crystal]

Can you hold out a fish for carnivores I'm subzero?

[eternal garnet]

yes. Not sure how useful it is

[radiant crystal]

Was passing by a knock off reaper and got hurt and was wondering

[agile crypt]

||😘 ||

game breaking spoiler right there

[lilac kraken]

In theory, while equipped, it must help you in below 100m depths, it helps with oxygen.

[radiant crystal]

How do you play through the game without it

[hexed maple]

spoilers but uhh

||how do I spawn in the void chelicerate?||

[eternal garnet]

we have not found a way

[silk stone]

For now the Void Chelicerate does not have a D-bug id so its not possible to spawn it right now

Unknown worlds may be working on that

[steel shoal]

They're working on the new game, pretty sure.

[silk stone]

I do hope they add it soon

[steel shoal]

Or maybe they're sleeping. Depends on the person you ask.

I don't think it's important.

There are other more important things to deal with. Such as Snowfox clipping through the floor.

[silk stone]

Ive never finished either games yet

I suffer from thalasohpobia T^T

[steel shoal]

There are quite a few high priority bugs yet to be fixed. Yet they fixed the NoRecipesAvalible

[radiant crystal]

On the other hand I pass by a chelicerate saying "good day sir"

[silk stone]

Chelicerate posses as much threat as a squirrel

They dont compare to the reaper

[steel shoal]

Red shark so nice

I love Chelis

[silk stone]

nah bro,

[radiant crystal]

I do the same with a sea dragon

[silk stone]

Red shrimp

[steel shoal]

Sorry, the shrimp nickname is already reserved for Rock Puncher.

[silk stone]

When im in creative i still find all the leviathans except for dragon, sea treader, and reefback scary for some reason

I guess rock puncher does look more like a shrimp

[radiant crystal]

I call them all puppies

[steel shoal]

Chelis seem to be taking a similar role to the Ghost Leviathan

[radiant crystal]

Trueee

[steel shoal]

They're only in a few points of interest, and they're easily avoidable. They're also not that intimidating or aggressive, they're just pretty and minding their own business.

[silk stone]

Also look at this cool screenshot i took

I put in some filters

[steel shoal]

I can see

It's missing most of the colors

[silk stone]

I have loads more

[karmic lagoon]

[radiant crystal]

[nova isle]

this one is sick

[serene rune]

Bro vibin

[raven flume]

That never happened to me... what exactly causes it?

[broken badge]

I’ve gotten my snowfox stuck at the bottom of a crevasse before and not been able to get it out, but I don’t think it’s ever clipped into terrain before. Doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened for someone though

[raven flume]

Is it weird to anyone else that the snowfox can actually move on the water but its just really slow?

[broken badge]

It shouldn’t be able to go over water that I recall

[raven flume]

It bobbs up and down but still allows (VERY SLOW) movement in all directions.

[broken badge]

Interesting

[crystal terrace]

nvm I thought it gave me extra oxygen, didn't know it regarded oxygen efficiency.

[steel shoal]

Deploying it when walking/looking down.

[raven flume]

Oh... note to self.

[steel shoal]

Not necessarily straight down, though.

You have to be very careful when deploying it, and pick it up before it gets lost to terrain. Many people get very upset.

[raven flume]

The charging pads are decently cheap so after a while I just started using those.

Thanks for the warning though!

[steel shoal]

Once I deployed it too quickly and boarded it. Fell through the map with it. Glad they fixed the void Chelicerates spawning under land parts bug.

[chrome heath]

where to find kyanite, I know where to get rubies, is it in the cave that leads down to the ||purple crystals biome from the ruby spikes biome that is where one of the architect piece is, close to margurite’s base?||

[bold monolith]

In the ||Crystal Cave|| you have some yes.

[jolly pier]

Snowfox can take u to backrooms

[crystal terrace]

How ready do I have to be before I go to the ||Architect Phase Gate Facilty||?

[crystal terrace]

Like, is that ||The end of the game||?

[chrome heath]

||yup, that’s the end of the game, wouldn’t recommend going there unless you have all the materials for each architect part and/or are ready to complete the game||

[zinc void]

Hello -Hoopfish

[sleek timber]

Hi people

Have there been any game updates in the past year?

[deep kettle]

Hello 🙂
The last update was the "What the dock" one https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/848450/view/3276953770293551410?l=english

So not in the last or current year.

[crystal terrace]

||I have already built the architect body||

[chrome heath]

||okay then, it depends if you’re ready to finish the game or not, are you?||

[crystal terrace]

||nope I'm just focusing on upgrading my base & vehicles rn||

[chrome heath]

got a seatruck!!

AND got my first depths upgrade

300 meters is… not a lot

[cinder gale]

Yea it's not like in og subjects where first upgrade gives you i think 500m

[steel stream]

Nope, seamoth is basic 200m and with mk1 depth 300m. The difference is that basic seatruck is only 150m

[chrome heath]

is there a radiation suit in subnautica?

(bz that is)

[steel shoal]

Yes.

It looks really cool.

[chrome heath]

I just accidentally crafted two repair tools

oopsie daisy :3

[deep kettle]

[chrome heath]

best area to build a base in?

[cinder gale]

Hence I said I think as in i wasn't sure since I have not played in a long time

[woeful storm]

i just do it in the default area (twisty bridges or whatever but semi near pod) because i cant be bothered to move and it has space

im sure there could be more scenic areas i just dont bother to find em

[nova isle]

i always build mine right next to the pod

[chrome heath]

same

[broken badge]

I’ve been playing BZ again to get the trophies on the PS5 version because apparently the trophies don’t cross populate between PS4 and PS5 (idk if that’s normal or not) and I saw there was an update, a very small one (really a hotfix not an update), but thought I’d let you know @deep kettle 🙂

But you’re still right, it wasn’t in the last or current year😂

[wild pulsar]

That's normal for everyone but idk why they don't transfer

[broken badge]

Seems odd

As it’s the same platform

I’ll have to look next time I’m on my series X, I don’t recall having to get achievements on there that I’ve had from Xbox One

[deep kettle]

I purposefully left the hotfix out of that but you are correct. It was released shortly after the 'what the dock' update 😛

[broken badge]

Fair enough😅

[placid kite]

what is horsepower?

[marble cradle]

Think of it power

[broken badge]

Back when carriages were drawn they used horses. So power was literally horsepower. When they started making first cars and stuff, they referred to engine power as horsepower because that made sense to people

So there you go😅

But yes it’s just a unit of power, to make something go, it’s often used to describe the power of a car engine (the more horsepower the faster it can go)

HP upgrade for seatruck is definitely worth getting

[wild pulsar]

I always thought horsepower was how many horses it would take to reach that speed

[steel stream]

No, it's approximately how many horses you need to get the same power

[chrome heath]

it… basically is

[steel stream]

Horses still have max speed, which they cannot exceed regardless of how many of them you have...

[chrome heath]

so do cars and vehicles

[eternal garnet]

1 hp is the power a regular horse can pull indefinitely, without exhausting itself

if it wants to, it can give 5hp for a little bit

[placid kite]

i meant the upgrade

but thanks for the info

[broken badge]

I think it has some text on it that says what it does, but it increases seatruck speed when hauling extra modules

[placid kite]

alr

[broken badge]

Meatie made this chart

[placid kite]

im scared of modules

coz i always crash into things and a module is just gonna increase my hitbox

[eternal garnet]

it changes blue curve to red curve

[placid kite]

and like my first ever module it breaks at the touch

[eternal garnet]

I do not feel modules break easily. Unless you back into them

creatures attack the front

[placid kite]

i always crash into things in my seatruck, from all angles

i cannot drive
