[steel stream]

But you can see health bars of all attached modules while driving and can go repair them before the take too much damage

[placid kite]

aqarium module seems useless tf

[steel stream]

If you eat fish and are lazy to catch them, it can be useful...

[placid kite]

just unlocked water filtration suit

does this mean no more bladderfish

and i can just drink my own urine

[eternal garnet]

it does yes

[broken badge]

Always use the piloting handles to attach modules to the rest of the seatruck, don’t try to back into them for attaching

[placid kite]

thats what i did he first time

broke

i thought it was gonna be like an upgrade that i put where the mk1 goes, and i get a little storage thing

[broken badge]

I’ve had a module explode, barely nicked the corner of one with another and so I can feel that pain

I just reloaded, I save very often

[placid kite]

just reminded me to save, thanks

[broken badge]

Back when I was playing BZ on switch when it first came out, there were so many crashes I needed to save every 5 minutes or so
So you could say I developed some strong saving habits from that lol

It doesn’t crash nearly that often now, it’s a lot better after some fixes

[placid kite]

why is it everywhere i go there a doc ock arms

[broken badge]

I main PS5 but switch is a lot of fun to play games on

[broken badge]

Module fragments are found in specific areas

[placid kite]

huh

[eternal garnet]

yes, they are not random

[placid kite]

this filtration suit, do bottles just appear in me now

[steel shoal]

Yes.

[eternal garnet]

Bags. Canadian milk bags.

[stoic surge]

They kinda look like IV bags, but full of pp water

[crystal terrace]

where should I build/use the ||snowfox||

[calm night]

near phi robotic station

[crystal terrace]

alr

[crystal terrace]

should I just build it in front of/in the cave?

[calm night]

infront of

i used the prawn suit

because snowfox it knocks you out of it and too many attacks

meanwhile it doesnt to prawn suit and it take 20 hp most of the time

[next current]

That's why I don't use the Prawn. Too OP.

[stoic surge]

I try not to use the Prawn on land mostly because I keep finding spots where we drop below terrain

[nova isle]

do we know exactly how much hp a seatruck has

[crystal terrace]

but what is there to do on land?

[steel stream]

Lot of story things

[crystal terrace]

anything connected to Marge?

[eternal garnet]

yes, in the south west

[jaunty vapor]

Guys what's the largest creature you can fit in a large room acu (commands included)

[eternal garnet]

well, without commands it is the glow whale

[zinc void]

@tacit thorn So you say you glitched under the map

very "funny"

does titanium spawn in the bottom or what

and yes I had at least one titanium under the map going down slowly

I remember that

[tacit thorn]

The area around my main base has loading glitch. I fell through several times.
So every time I find limestone or whatever resource node stuck in normally unreachable room, or a wall, or fell under map, I go to my base and dive down through floor then go back to grab things that glitched.

I have gotten pretty stubborn at getting all stuff stuck in the map.

[zinc void]

wait so you said

there were 50 titaniums glitched out or what?

I had like at least 2 scanner rooms throughout the map, maximized map view for titaniums

there weren't much not gonna lie

[tacit thorn]

50 is my estimate. I have like 3-5 big deposits that are partially or fully in the wall(rock deco) and cannot be mined even from under map.
At least one limestone that glitched totally and is not under map or anywhere I can reach.
Example of me being stubborn and getting 2 limestone from ice cliff:

[zinc void]

wtf lol

[tacit thorn]

I have made a sweep of scanner room triangles, 500m distance between rooms, thats like 50+ scan points needed to covber whole map.

[zinc void]

next time I make a Below Zero world, I will do just that

but rn I have everything in Below Zero, in my first save slot

I know there are outcrops at the roofs of the map

like, close to void you know

[tacit thorn]

Grav ball is superior for getting things outta wals. but sometimes its pull is not enough. but when you grab the gravball and yank, it sometimes dislodges the attached items.

[tacit thorn]

I had couple titan nodes generate at bottom of map cliff, literally in danger zone.

[zinc void]

Nonsense that big deposits spawn outside of map

[tacit thorn]

lets agree the resource spawns have flaws. like spawning in 'forgotten' unreachable chambers under the map.

[next current]

And sometimes in terrain assets.

[tacit thorn]

yah, I complained about those rocks above

[chrome heath]

have yall ever had a deposit spawn outside of the map, or alternatively had a material just fall through the floor

I seem to get it a lot in the caves with the heat lilies on ||delta island||

[tacit thorn]

mineable clump at very edge of map, bottom of cliff, yes.
All objects will fall through map f you activate their gravity calc by grav ball. so everything grav ball touched, you must collect or it may fall through map.

[chrome heath]

all objects??? including fish?

(well, I mean if the fish wasn’t alive)

[zinc void]

@tacit thorn Can you explain the "Rock Puncher farm" you mentioned before?

Because that's like

when I read that, it felt like I discovered America.

[tacit thorn]

breakable outcrops. quartz pieces. all collectibles.
crates and other decor when touched with grav gun.
Fish floats but dead bodies I think fall too.

if you want to keep things dropped, put them on foundations or they may sink.

[chrome heath]

are they planning on fixing that or not

[tacit thorn]

gimme sec to load

[zinc void]

It's been a decade.... 😟

[tacit thorn]

game no longer receives fixes, so no.

[zinc void]

[tacit thorn]

Do you know how complicated the launch procedure is?
Set screen to 120hz. Start steam. start game. load huge save.

you are lucky I am currently at my mining site aka puncher farm

[tacit thorn]

My workers. Or slaves? I don't pay them, and they can't leave.
Two of them just dug up a rock. you can swim in to break the rock and have a chance of titanium/copper/gold/silver.
Wear reinforced suit, they like to punch you. As you can see on my healthbar.

[shell plinth]

Can you breed rock punchers and make them mine rocks and stones?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[tacit thorn]

Yes no.

The farm raised ones do not dig.

[eternal garnet]

they don't? aw

[shell plinth]

Darn. How did you get them there?

[tacit thorn]

You can move wild ones with grav gun into enclosed area with 'correct' floor.

[eternal garnet]

wild ones will wander off

enclosed, okay

[tacit thorn]

Entrance to secret mine has correct floor and they cannot leave because pit. block gate with building and they stay

[next current]

Good thing you can pick up Rock Punchers with the Prawn Suit Propulsion Cannon Arm. (Iirc)

[tacit thorn]

Is t slavery, if I relocated them here by force and blocked door so they can't wander off?

[eternal garnet]

nobecause, it's a game

wait, was that a spoiler?

[next current]

Not really, no.

[tacit thorn]

the door, well, maybe, but not like you can find the location with this pic

[eternal garnet]

no,. I meant "it's a game"

[tacit thorn]

If you want to build a farm, I find the mine area works best - naturally enclosed, has several wild punchers in the area (or you can bring some from inside cave) AND has a correct floor type they will mine on.
mind that rocks mined by punchers cannot be lifted by grav gun, or opened with prawn, only hand hits. they also cink into ground so you have only several seconds to pick them.
I find 4 punchers are neough to keep me busy picking things.

They only mine on specific floor areas that I have no idea how to identify.
And you have to stay in the vicinity for them to do the animation.
And you have to know the things they toss away are actually breakable objects (most players wont approach in fear of getting punched).
Given that, it is entirely possible you never saw them mining.

My haul from past couple mins. Is supposed to be 40% titan, 40% copper, 20% silver 20% gold. according to wiki.

[stoic surge]

It is true, Robin lets out quite a squeak when getting punched

[chrome heath]

fun fact, if you get close enough to the electric wire on the floating dock that’s between ||delta island|| and the lifepod in the seatruck, you CAN STILL get electrocuted, meaning that the player’s hitbox is still separate to the seatruck’s hitbox, and the damage hitbox CAN and WILL pass through the seatruck

[tacit thorn]

seatruck or seaglide? seaglide is handheld item

[chrome heath]

I keep getting confused between the two… I meant seatruck

[tacit thorn]

interesting observation.

[placid kite]

im watching a video on finding kynaite, he says its pretty safe

[chrome heath]

mm… you sure about that…

[placid kite]

right as were knee deep into the cave he says oh yeah the shadow leviathan can be down here

sorry what

the only leviathan ive encoutered is the chelicerate

[chrome heath]

I just realised I have a rotten spinefish in my inventory, where’s the bioreactor

[placid kite]

and the whale but i wont count that

[tacit thorn]

They ahve set patrol routes.
Tip - you can build foundations for a sfe roof. or stay in the cracks.

[real knoll]

Is this known to happen? Game crashed failing to load an artefact when I tried exiting the game:

Windows cannot load the extensible counter DLL "C:\Windows\system32\sysmain.dll" (Win32 error code The specified module could not be found.).

The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout.

[placid kite]

oh god

i see it

what do i do

i wanna scan it

[tacit thorn]

Tip: it is perfectly safe to scan.*

*when its dead.

[placid kite]

well how tf do kill it

ive got a seatruck and half a will

WHY IS THERE 2

[tacit thorn]

wait until you meet mommy and daddy

[placid kite]

HUH

[zinc void]

wtf this is too good

but given the fact that I mostly need titanium, then rng is gonna be sucky

thanks man, will keep in mind

whenever I will play Below Zero in the future, I will try it out

[tacit thorn]

I have a wall of tears I can show in couple mins when I finish another haul

[zinc void]

and yes you are right, Im afraid of Rock Punchers because I don't wanna lose health xD

[zinc void]

damn ok

[tacit thorn]

may I interest you in flex armor diving suit?

[zinc void]

k

[placid kite]

i only want kyanite for fricks sake

WHERE IS IT

[chrome heath]

hmmm

is that a rule violation

[tacit thorn]

Lying around. There are also minable deposits.

[placid kite]

ion have my prawn suit on me

the amount of times ive been muted for accidentaly swearing

[chrome heath]

that is… terrifying

I think it’s mainly because of the glitchy effect

[tacit thorn]

The amount of times I have been warned for bypassing swear filter, because I autocensored words with ***

[placid kite]

imma scan it

they dont know me son

[tacit thorn]

you could use prawn as a bait.

mind it takes big chunk of hp when eating it.

[placid kite]

ion have it on me

[bold monolith]

Try to repair the Windows system's files.

[placid kite]

im scared of modules coz they break after a tap

scanned it first try

my stomach feels nervous but yk

[tacit thorn]

only with leviathan attacks or heavy ramming. just keep them rapairde.

[placid kite]

whos gonna carry the boats

[chrome heath]

right, plasteel ingots aquired, large room time

[tacit thorn]

tip: when you dock the truck with modules, you can go inside modules and reapir them without getting wet.

[placid kite]

it tried to eat me but i shocked the mf

[tacit thorn]

given their low population, that maybe statement of fact, not an insult.

[eternal garnet]

Google sysmain.dll - first result should be [solved] windows cannot load sysmain

[placid kite]

wdym

i used the seatruck defense thing

[chrome heath]

the arctic safe shallows are so annoying im gonna have to be honest

[placid kite]

hoiw much kyanite is it to craft everything

[tacit thorn]

like 3 to 5 pieces total for whole game

[steel shoal]

It can't

[placid kite]

well i got 6 so i shouild be good

[chrome heath]

oh god I need more lithium and titanium

[tacit thorn]

thats actually correct amount for story purpose + 1 copy of prawn and seatruck depth upgrades.

[tacit thorn]

Go away, I already looted all of it.

[steel shoal]

40 + 40 + 20 + 20 = 120
Your haul is one, or 100%. It can't be 120% titanium, copper, silver and gold.

[chrome heath]

save some for the rest of us smh

[tacit thorn]

I am most likely rounding the percentages. if they are not even numbers, there is no way I'll remember them.

[placid kite]

aww

[tacit thorn]

If you can fish out the lithium pieces stuck in walls, you can keep them. I'll even toss in five lockers of copper.

[steel shoal]

You are rounding them way too much.

[chrome heath]

heh, you forgot the fragments of items, I need titanium more than anything

[steel shoal]

2 + 2 ≈ 10.

[tacit thorn]

Diving armor. Plus another data point for rocker farm haul.

[placid kite]

bruh i just escaped shadow and now the chelicerate is on me

[tacit thorn]

You can also keep the ones that are glitched into objects so bad I cant reach them even from inside map.

[zinc void]

Crazy!

[tacit thorn]

and promised image of the Hoarders Crying Nook.

[chrome heath]

oh my god I think scanners don’t need a battery which is powered to scan

[zinc void]

Is the log really necessary

but ok, if you have it then its necessary for YOU

[chrome heath]

also why do you pc players get more quickslots it’s unfair >:(

[zinc void]

what do you mean?

[chrome heath]

I only get 5

[tacit thorn]

Thats actually QoL mod.

[chrome heath]

oh

[tacit thorn]

That fixes base game flaw, because there is no mehanical or gameplay reason to not have full 10.

[chrome heath]

also seatruck is basically weightless, you can push it around with your body

[placid kite]

i love chemical apes

[tacit thorn]

Log helps me overcome the 'never trash anything' syndrome. I could always save edit to restore exact amount I trashed, right?

[chrome heath]

I don’t understand why when you have emergency power, oxygen production is offline

like, what’s the point? hypothetically if subnautica was irl it should be using emergency power to produce oxygen

[tacit thorn]

assuming basic electrolysis as source, that things takes a lot of power

[chrome heath]

can you put penglings in the bioreactor?

[eternal garnet]

no it's a crime

[tacit thorn]

We dare you to try.

[chrome heath]

back to base immediately

power restored, and hull integrity fixed

now… where to get a water filter

[tacit thorn]

wreck

or walmart, depnding what kind of filter we talking

Tech question - what does global-objects.bin store and should the size decrease?
I also think my Cellscache is decreasing in size(?)

[eternal garnet]

global contains your bases, vehicles

probably PDA contents also

[bold monolith]

Equipment and inventory are scene objects.

[tacit thorn]

Should I be concerned that on one autosave the size is 139,999 kb and on main save down to 139,991?
I remember running out of ram once and that corrupted a save, don't want to find myself missing base pieces in future.

[eternal garnet]

nope

[tacit thorn]

standard variation in size?

[eternal garnet]

it can go both up and down

[tacit thorn]

ok

It will definitely go up when I resume building the large base. Just need more titan 😦

[bold monolith]

140MB is enormous though.

I assume it's a base that goes through all biomes?

[tacit thorn]

A base starting in ventgarden, going down to 2k deep, then sideways for like 100 meters, then down to -5k deep.

[eternal garnet]

really old save, well worn

[bold monolith]

Saving a base like that isn't very optimized.

Because it saves the empty cells.

Things that aren't very useful.

[tacit thorn]

Funny enough, the saving is usually ok, but when I'm in my main base (about click away), the save can freeze for minutes.

in other places, couple seconds.

Game frezes for several long seconds when adding pieces to that tall base.

[bold monolith]

The worst part is that even if you removed base pieces, it would still be enormous.

Until you totally remove the base.

[chrome heath]

yall remember back when you first started to play subnautica, when you didn’t know how to craft

[bold monolith]

The last part.

[chrome heath]

just died, forgot to drink water

[placid kite]

is it true the

water filtration suit only works if you have water in r system

im rlly low and im far from home

[tacit thorn]

by definition, when you have zero water you are about to die anyway

what biome are you in?

and are you vegetarian/vegan?

[placid kite]

crystal caverns

[chrome heath]

how do I get the door for a room like you see in certain chambers?

I want to use it instead of a hatch

[tacit thorn]

should be some small fishes swimming, grab and cook them. they can be eaten raw as last ditch effort.

[tacit thorn]

Sliding door? large room partition, separate door buildable.

[nova isle]

you can also eat creepvines and their seeds

[placid kite]

kk

either way does the suit work with low water

[tacit thorn]

door with twisty knob like the bulkhead -> build hatch over water line (land). Also gets stairs bundled.

[chrome heath]

oh, so it’s just a hatch but on the surface

[placid kite]

i just got out the crystal caves and i decided to get ||al-ans organs|| and the tutorial said i have to go back

[tacit thorn]

unless you mean sliding doors in large rooms

[tacit thorn]

you need blueprints for all three, parts for all three (caves contain part for last one). Then you use the pieces in final cave deep down.

[chrome heath]

I love ||al-an’s third voiceline when he has something important to share||

||robin just sounds so passive aggressive when she says that she knows about it||

[placid kite]

ik

just funny that i needed to go back after getting to my base

these caves are beautiful

[chrome heath]

hey guys guess what

I put the pengling in the bioreactor

[placid kite]

what are all three parts? i got ||skeleton and organs||

[eternal garnet]

missing ||tissues (arm)||

[placid kite]

i dread gettting the mats to craft it

[eternal garnet]

crafting can wait til you have 3 parts

[steel stream]

Guess what? That's 0% original...

[chrome heath]

where do I get a spiral plant clipping?

[eternal garnet]

deep purple vents in one special spot, or inside a ||vent garden||

[bold monolith]

What do you mean in one special spot?

[chrome heath]

probs some story related spot idk

[eternal garnet]

it's in only one place, and it moves randomly per save

[bold monolith]

I understand why you think that now.

If they are under the ground like the last two in the video you wouldn't see them.

[silk stone]

Yall look at cool screenshot i took of a squidshark in the deep twistys

[jolly nebula]

How are you doing this wizardry

I cant be on land for more than 5 minutes without my prawn suit falling into the earth

[karmic lagoon]

How

[cinder gale]

It's not difficult to get the prawnsuit on land getting back to water is another story

[jolly nebula]

Wdym,

[karmic lagoon]

both ways are easy 🤷‍♂️

[jolly nebula]

Under the islands is water

[cinder gale]

I got mine up but couldn't get back to water

[jolly nebula]

The land is just high enough that its almost impossible to get back on land from the water, but its doable

[jolly nebula]

I always bring a grappling hook for that

If you just hold the grapple and stay still, the jets recharge

[cinder gale]

I have the grappling hook on it

[jolly nebula]

I found out the 3rd time i fell through

[cinder gale]

And my game has glitched me into some weird places

[broken badge]

I don’t use the prawn on land except to go to the one place for cubes

[jolly nebula]

Hmm, like what

[cinder gale]

Into mountains or under the ground

[chrome heath]

okay now I’m really annoyed

I just wasted 5 hours of progress, just lost to a software crash

al-an you caused this

now I’m really mad, my entire base is just gone, along with my seatruck

and I don’t even have the laser cutter

or the seatruck fragments for that matter

it’s gone all the way back before I visited ||margeruite in her lilypad island base||

omg all that progress… just… lost… in a blink of an eye

I’m never playing this game again I swear

[tacit thorn]

I feel your painz.
Now go install the Autosave mod

re-getting stuff will be faster, because you know where stuff is and what to get

[chrome heath]

too bad I'm on switch

but yeah, you're right, getting stuff will be easier now because I know where it is

lol what

[tacit thorn]

set to 15 mins, when it rings, pause and save, rinse and repeat. and once a day, backup saves online

[chrome heath]

anyway now because of that glitch it's put me off of playing on that save, I hope that I'll get back on it tmr and play it again and I hope I forget about it enough to just continue on with the game

[tacit thorn]

I was extremely annoyed when it happened to me

[chrome heath]

how far did you get set back

[tacit thorn]

couple hours. not what I would expect of game made in this century

[chrome heath]

when you say a couple hours, was it anything that was especially important?

[tacit thorn]

was just starting, so most of my stuff

[chrome heath]

oh now that sounds a pain

tbh that's similar to what happened to me, early game, lost basically everything

[tacit thorn]

Only reason I'm on this server is I went here to curse devs when it happened 😊

[chrome heath]

it set me back as far as my first resource pickup AFTER my icy land exploration, which was basically just after I had died trying to get out of that icy area

which means I've lost my rebreather too.

honestly, I'm going to go to sleep now, gn everyone

[covert flower]

Hey i need help quick, i am getting lag spikes on playstation 5 below zero. Is there a solution?

[chrome heath]

reminds me of when I died in paper mario origami king and lost all my puzzle progress, I should have listened to olivia and saved before the boss fight lol

anyway, speaking of, I’m noticing a lot more games don’t have an autosave feature, I’m actually curious why subnautica/bz don’t have these as crashes are common

[tacit thorn]

Most of games have checkpoints, areas or any kind of way to prompt you to save. Subnautica does not prompt you to save.

[covert flower]

Probably not @covert flower

[chrome heath]

like, why is the question, like, there should be the occasional popup saying “hey, now is a good time to save, don’t want to loose your progress!” either after getting a large milestone or alternatively just every 20-30 minutes or so, or a mix of both

[tacit thorn]

save recovery data in case of crash, simple and does not intrude player.

[chrome heath]

yes! like how roblox studio does it, with save backups

[tacit thorn]

I mean, your word processor does this.
start editing document. Kick the power switch. Open document 'do you want to continue where you left off'?

[chrome heath]

yeah

or just… add an autosave feature

[tacit thorn]

I use notepad++ and the damn thing will keep "new file" that I did not save yet(!)

[chrome heath]

I’m sure it wouldn’t have been too hard to implement, sure a few lines of code, but just copy the saving script, add a looping timer on it and make it save every 15-20 minutes

[tacit thorn]

There is a perfectly working mod for autosave.

[chrome heath]

BUT it’s exclusive to pc

[tacit thorn]

3 auto slots, saves every 10 mins, displays warning 30 sec before saving, does not save on low health.

[chrome heath]

does not save on low health? why would you not want it to save on low health?

[tacit thorn]

somebody made a solution in spare time, without having access to actual game code.

[tacit thorn]

about to get murdered by leviathan is not a moment you want to save (or cause big lag spike)

[chrome heath]

true

but what if you’re just in your base, but have low health due to something that just happened

[tacit thorn]

That goes into territory of what-if. The asumption is, we don't want to overwrite last known good autosave if player is about to die. They could have 1 autosave slot enabled only. The saving lag may make them die. then they are stuck in unwinnable situation.

[chrome heath]

eh fair enough

[tacit thorn]

and obv that can be turned off. Its a mod with lot of options.

[chrome heath]

good point

[tacit thorn]

all the options you can ever need.

The problem has been solved perfectly well by rando on internet. It is sad the devs didnt add autosave.

Oh, and hardcore mode overwites the main save - so thats when you really want this 'do nort save when about dead' oprion.

[forest mirage]

Went 5 hours in without going to find alan I'm enjoying the game

I also found a hostile Leviathan

[woeful storm]

fake news leviathans arent hostile they just want hugs

go pet one (on a save you dont care about)

[warm basalt]

anyone know the easiest way to get lead, I hate having to search for like 30 minutes around the map looking for 2-3 pieces for miscellaneous builds

[eternal garnet]

scan for galena. Scanner room or hand

[warm basalt]

found 10 pieces that were nearby that I never even saw, thank you

I don't know why this is so comical to me, since you suggested for me to use the scanner room I decided to give it all the upgrades I could and this is what happened

[covert flower]

Hey i need help quick, i am getting lag spikes on playstation 5 below zero. Is there a solution?

[steel stream]

Use speed upgrades; there's a bug which makes scanner room scan at full 500m range even without range upgrades...range upgrades only increase the holomap size but don't affect the actual scanning range

[warm basalt]

I just had a seabase flood despite my structural integrity being like 50. What exactly causes floods, and why does structural integrity apparently not matter?

[steel stream]

If you hit the base with a vehicle, the base can be damaged and flooded. Structural integrity doesn't play a role in these situations. Not sure if bz has some creatures that can damage seabases, or probably collisions do that, but creatures don't attack seabases deliberately.

[warm basalt]

I have my seabase right next to the ventgarden chelicerate, so maybe it can damage my seabase from time to time

but I basically never hit my base with a vehicle unless I'm trying to dock my seatruck

[cobalt meadow]

i cant find gold

[warm basalt]

aeugh.

i saw that

[cobalt meadow]

ok

i saw it too

[warm basalt]

Anyone know where to go from here? Kinda getting stuck here while trying to find the part. Found it, nevermind.

[bold monolith]

@dawn dune your main objective in this game is to find ||Al-an's body parts||. He will tell you more artifact locations and even where one of the part is.

[dawn dune]

Right, i figured that out. But when will he give me more locations? Like does it just happen randomly?

[bold monolith]

If you scan the artifacts he will give more to you. Did you see a ||pilot||?

[dawn dune]

No, i have not. The latest thing i came across was ||artifact X3||

[bold monolith]

Don't you have a signal for the ||Delta Island||?

Maybe you should explore that a bit more.

[dawn dune]

||delta station dock?|| i've been there, but i couldnt find anything else next to some resources.

[steel stream]

Did you go up along the path with light sticks to the delta station base and radio tower?

[dawn dune]

I tried to, but i didnt find any way to actually reach it. But you're saying i can?

[steel stream]

It should be quite straightforward if you follow the path with ligth sticks, trying to go up whenever possible

[dawn dune]

Wow, no clue how i missed this last time. Thank you both! 😊

[chrome heath]

you know, I prefer bz, as it feels more… alive, and it actually has a sense of direction unlike subnautica which doesn’t necessarily tell you to go do this or do that, you know?

[chrome heath]

oh yeah and the fact that you’re not constantly underwater, because of the islands

[steel shoal]

Snowfox is really fun

[worn thunder]

hey guys, ive finished the game but i dont have the achievements that i should have gotten, like steam hasnt given me them, whats wrong?

[bold monolith]

Did you ever use a command?

[worn thunder]

would /fps be considered that

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[worn thunder]

yes definitely then

[bold monolith]

Any command disables the ability to unlock the achievements remaining for that save slot.

Even harmless ones like fps.

[worn thunder]

ah.. so i must make a new world in which i use no commands and do everything again?

i was thinking of making a hardcore world anyways so i wouldnt mind

[chrome heath]

you cannot kill heat lilies

[bold monolith]

If you want the fps, you could use Steam overlay.

[worn thunder]

ight thanks for that because i had no idea that helps

[bold monolith]

Instead of typing the command itself.

As long as you don't use them, you'll be able to unlock the achievements.

[worn thunder]

good cus i wanna unlock all of them

well back to bz i go lol

[bold monolith]

Alternatively, modders made Qmods bypasses the cheat flag.

[deep kettle]

How could they do that in a singleplayer game, the audacity 👀

[bold monolith]

They could have not made it by default though.

[deep kettle]

Sshhh

I did wish the console commands would prompt you to continue if you are about to disable achievements though. So many people just don't realize it :p

And because I can already hear you Ignis, surely they could add a launch argument to bypass 😂

[bold monolith]

I was thinking it could have been made on the stable build and not experimental.

Then I can type my commands without having to validate the check each time I launch the game.

[deep kettle]

But then testing on stable would get kind of tedious no? I guess either way works in the end.

[bold monolith]

Just like you have to press shift on the stable build and not in experimental.

[deep kettle]

That's a thing? 🤔

My life is a lie.

[bold monolith]

What is, the shift key? Yes. In stable you have to press shift + enter the first time, then you can just use enter afterward.

In experimental you don't need to press shift at all.

[deep kettle]

The shift key yeah.

I just always pressed shift 😂

[worn thunder]

hey thom

[deep kettle]

Not that it matters too much I guess.. Either way works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worn thunder]

i remember u from quite a while back here

[deep kettle]

I've been around a long time now yup 👀

[worn thunder]

thats great to hear man you seem like a good mod to have around 👍🏼

[proud bear]

Ah yes my ||seatruck|| is stuck inside the ||Mercury 2 wreck near Delta Station||

I was like,
Why tf isn't there any ||lithium and gel sack|| and then it happened..

It's stuck ||in the 1st floor, inside the engine room I think||

[chrome heath]

hi subnauticans

[worldly condor]

Guys I’m starting up another bz playthrough again now that I don’t remember most things in the game, so can anyone tell me where I should put my starter base? Anywhere open with a decent amount of starting resources is fine

[chrome heath]

around 50-100 meters out from the lifepod works for me, but it’s really up to you tbh

[worldly condor]

So normal twisty bridges or kelp forest? I’m just looking for room to expand rlly

[chrome heath]

about that, yeah

[worldly condor]

Ok I’ll just put it in the border then, thanks!

[chrome heath]

have you got the rebreather yet? it’s a good idea to get that before doing so imo

[worldly condor]

Yeah I have rebreather and high capacity, I’m going to build a seatruck soon after I start my base

[chrome heath]

got a moonpool scanned? I assume you do

[worldly condor]

No that’s in || koppa site || right?

I haven’t gone there yet

[chrome heath]

by ||koppa site|| you mean ||the lilypad island base that marguerite is in|| then yea

[worldly condor]

Oh I was talking abt the alterra mining place, but I’m going to the lillypads after I get a sea truck

[placid kite]

what exactly do i need to get ||al-ans tissues, youtubers hae said i need hydrochloric acid, others have said i need gell sacks and creepvine seeds ect||

[steel shoal]

Check the PDA

It's at the bottom of the blueprints

[chrome heath]

the easy part is ||crafting the tissues for Al-an, finding the things needed to reconnect with the network is the hard part||

[placid kite]

waht exaclty do i need for this "bridge thing"

says i need a cold suit too

[steel stream]

Did you scan the hydraulic fluid in the broken bridge? That gives you the blueprint for it (and to repair the bridge)

Cold suit is nice but optional: you could also use a vehicle, eat heating food or go in caves to stay warm. Or build a habitat (corridor and hatch enough) to warm up, then decraft it and build again when starting to freeze

Although crafting a cold suit gives an achievement

[placid kite]

imma stick with cold suit

thanks tho, do i only need the fluid?

[eternal garnet]

yes. one. Ingredients, I think 2 creepvine seed, 3 gel sack

[placid kite]

kk

finally i ate my nutrient blocks

i always carry but never eat

[placid kite]

1 seed and 4 gel sac

[eternal garnet]

noted

[placid kite]

is there a way to plant fevered pepper

or frost vase

[eternal garnet]

sure. plant the pepper

in general, knife the plant to get a seed. If it doesn't have fruit

[placid kite]

for gods sake

i only have the fruit thing

no seed

what about frost vase

[eternal garnet]

if you mean pepper, that's what you want. the fruit

knife frost vase

[placid kite]

i cant now

awww, im at my lifepod so no plants here

why cant i build a hatch here

i wanna add on a big room

[eternal garnet]

move the battery charger, I should think

and the poster

[placid kite]

alr

[eternal garnet]

sometimes, stuff in the way glow yellow

[placid kite]

im telling you, battery charger is so good early game

[eternal garnet]

oh yes

[placid kite]

the bench is in the way lmao

is there a way to connect a large room to it?

[eternal garnet]

Probably. To what?

Um. The area you are building in is not very deep. Difficult to expand

[eternal garnet]

But large rooms do attach to things, yes. Leave more space between, meaning move right. And remove hatch

[placid kite]

isn there a way to remove the coral brige

[eternal garnet]

Nooo

[placid kite]

aww

wtf why am i getting hypo

[eternal garnet]

Your base is early. Move it up, or move it south where its deeper

[placid kite]

im underwater

[eternal garnet]

you arent moving

[placid kite]

why cant i build this either

w

[eternal garnet]

Not sure. Next time, do not add foundations except if you really need them

Add a tunnel, then it should work on that

[placid kite]

tunnel?

[marble cradle]

I fell through my base and it scared me

[eternal garnet]

yes, that, or the glass same

[eternal garnet]

Rare. What platform?

[placid kite]

cant add that either, i assume i need a hatch>

[marble cradle]

The large room

[eternal garnet]

no, only add hatches for entry. They are not "connectors"

[marble cradle]

Fell out of the wall

[eternal garnet]

no I meant, Xbox, PS5, PC

[marble cradle]

Switch

[eternal garnet]

nothing near the end inside your room?

[marble cradle]

Is there anything attached to the ends

[eternal garnet]

and by near I mean not very near at all

[placid kite]

it was poster lmao

[eternal garnet]

see.

[placid kite]

like 3m away from the edge

thats funny lol

[chrome heath]

my game is loading just to unload again

it’s been 5 minutes

[placid kite]

i can build a big room now too

[placid kite]

i didnt see that

my bad

ty for the help

re beds only cosmetic

[next current]

I mean... you can skip night with them.

[placid kite]

ty

are alien eggs any use

im gonna put a symbiote in my aqarium and make the hunger games

[eternal garnet]

they are interesting to hatch later game. Or to grow food. And there is a secret pet egg

[placid kite]

pet??

[eternal garnet]

6 of them, in 3 hidden locations

[placid kite]

like something that can follow nme arounhd and stuff?

[eternal garnet]

yes. Even on land

[placid kite]

bruh

[eternal garnet]

you need the ACU (containment), which is mid game

no caps. Bots enforce this

[placid kite]

please tell me theres a pet seamonkey

[eternal garnet]

That is only via a mod, the pets mod.
But the fish (?), named ||trivalve|| is base game

[placid kite]

i used to hate seamonkeys, but they started bringing me stuff i needed and now i love them

[placid kite]

like a minio penglin

[eternal garnet]

yes!

they do little tricks

[placid kite]

i want one

NOW

[warm basalt]

why does the thermos reduce h2o, like what

[placid kite]

imma get some fur for the cold suit, as soon as i get tissues, im getting a pet ||trivalve||

[eternal garnet]

cause coffee does, allegedly

[steel stream]

That's what coffee does in real life too

[placid kite]

i hate coffee

[warm basalt]

you'd think a liquid would be the polar opposite

[placid kite]

i only drink it in winter, with melted chocolate occasionally, when im bulking

[eternal garnet]

k, go get the ACU in ||Mercury Bow, depth about 300-400m, at south-west corner of lilypad biome.||
Then find the egg locations. Videos are easiest

[steel stream]

Alcohol does the same. Despite being liquid, it dehydrates your body

[placid kite]

i overcame my fear of leviathasn too

just zap em

[eternal garnet]

yes, the zap is OP

[warm basalt]

I fear nothing, even outside of the vehicle

the ||reinforced dive suit|| is broken

[eternal garnet]

it

it's not as useful as first game. No large hot areas. It should reduce animal bites though

[placid kite]

whats that, like does it boost health?

[warm basalt]

reduces damage taken

[eternal garnet]

no, it's light armor

[warm basalt]

from thermal and physical

[placid kite]

i remember my first time seeing a crypto thing, i thougt it was a leviathan and when i tell you i ran

now with a seatruck i kill it, all bark and no bite

[eternal garnet]

yes, noisy, and scaredy

[warm basalt]

"light armor" I feel like a turtle wearing it lol

[placid kite]

boutta use a flare and pengling for the first time

[eternal garnet]

flares have an important use on land. Where you go later

[warm basalt]

I just circle it and slap it with a blade if it charges me

[eternal garnet]

I don't mean Delta

[warm basalt]

in the ||phi robotics area|| it's very useful to have flares just for the temp resist

[eternal garnet]

I will be a little more revealing, flares scare something annoying

[placid kite]

im still early game i think ||i got to that prawn suit ladys house and started focusing on alan||

[placid kite]

going there now

would be cool if i could get a oet seamonkey, and i coukld send him on missions for resources

[warm basalt]

this is so sad

[placid kite]

woah i just seen my character foir the firwt time

hgow do i collect the materials from this pengling, i self destructed it on accident, does it matter?

[astral lake]

key word self destructed

[placid kite]

is the stuff not salvagable? like the fur i collected, i already reset save so it doesnt matter

[next current]

No. items from a self-destructed spy pengling are not salvagable.

I'm not even sure why UWE added that ability to the Spy Pengling.

[steel shoal]

To soft-lock part of the story, of course!

[placid kite]

i cant plant this flipping frost vase seed, does it need to be in a colder enviroment

[steel shoal]

Where are you trying to plant it?

[placid kite]

exterior planting thjing

[steel shoal]

Above water?

[placid kite]

nooe

[steel shoal]

Well.

Plant it indoors, or above water.

[warm basalt]

aye I finally got the last achievement I needed to 100% the game

on a hardcore save no less

[unborn compass]

Dose anyone know what im supposed to do now i just finished my quest with Margaret and now im stuck

also how do i get past the ice worms on foot to find Alan's body part

[warm basalt]

yay

[warm basalt]

would prefer spoilers on those just in case, but ||you can just sprint past them if you're fast enough, or you can bring a few medkits just to be safe||

[unborn compass]

ok but when I try i get attacked and it crashes my game

[warm basalt]

that may just be your operating system, I've never crashed there myself

[unborn compass]

in on switch

[chrome heath]

something must be wrong with your switch, I’ve never had that happen

[unborn compass]

idk

also for some reason this game terrifes me so im scared of the Leviathans

neospace where is the thumper and snowfox fragments at glacial basin

[worldly condor]

Because “True art is an EXPLOSION” (Quote by Deidara)

[unborn compass]

bro true

[chrome heath]

||ALAN isn’t mentioning any new artifacts||

[warm basalt]

||I've got around 10, I think those are the only ones. After you get the Seatruck Teleportation Module then you have no more to get||

[chrome heath]

||… huh…||

||then why is alan not mentioning any new body parts?||

[warm basalt]

||Alan only mentions artifacts, and marks some artifacts but not all. He only marks a single body part, you've gotta find the other 2||

[chrome heath]

||oh okay…||

||you got a video of where to find said parts?||

[warm basalt]

||there's def some on yt, but I know the general locations to find them||

[chrome heath]

||I’ve got the skeleton, is that the only one he marks?||

[warm basalt]

||purple crystal caverns, theres a place that goes a little deeper but still has purple crystals, that's where the organs are||

||Cotton anemone area, go as far down as you can to find the skeleton||

||Arctic spires, go past the iceworm and into a crevasse to find the tissue||

[warm basalt]

||it is||

[eternal garnet]

for the ||organs, at 670m there is a big crown of crystals with a hole going down. There||

[steel stream]

You will get some hints for them, but not beacon marker like the first

[warm basalt]

my bad, didn't know how to describe

[eternal garnet]

and on the ice,|| go north east like a message said. If you find any alien cables, follow their north end, they point to it. Up north follow cables down a crevice||

[warm basalt]

can you place an ACU in a room with a glass roof?

[steel shoal]

Yes

It'll look... interesting 👩‍🦲

[jolly nebula]

What should i use for power?

[warm basalt]

oh. then idk if I should

[steel shoal]

Nuclear, unless you have thermal at your disposal.

Or solar if it's a small base with little consumption.

[jolly nebula]

Atm i have 3 bioreactors, 1 nuclear reactor, 8 solar panels, and 2 thermal plants

[warm basalt]

I use bio personally, just because it's easy to refill

[steel shoal]

The fact that you have to refill makes me not want to use bioreactor if any other alternative is available.

[jolly nebula]

Doesnt nuclear make you refill?

[warm basalt]

don't you have to get rods any time you want to refill your reactor?

[jolly nebula]

I just use every type of power

[steel shoal]

No.

[jolly nebula]

I live in the lily pads though, so i might get rid of the stuff linking to thermal power

[warm basalt]

I only use thermal and bio, because when my bio runs out I've got extra power

[steel shoal]

If you have to refill Nuclear, then wow that is a power hungry base.

[warm basalt]

I mean, I've constantly got a water filter going, and that's about it

[jolly nebula]

Wdym?

[steel shoal]

It takes 5 hours of having 4 Water Filtration Machines at once to drain 1 reactor.

[jolly nebula]

I have a good sized base with 2 moonpools, seatruck dock and some other

[steel shoal]

And the mercury has a ton of rods too.

[jolly nebula]

Ummmmm, how long for an entire large room full?

[steel shoal]

That is overkill.

[warm basalt]

actually, do you have a picture of this? I think it'd be good to see if before I add the dome

[jolly nebula]

I drink a lot

[steel shoal]

1 Water Filtration Machine provides water often enough to ensure survival.

[jolly nebula]

Oh

I mainly wanted salt to cure food, water is cool too though

I hate finding it

[warm basalt]

9 filters is crazy

[steel shoal]

Fish and plants give extra water. Having 2 WFMs will make you have more than enough water.

[jolly nebula]

I mainly use water suit

[steel shoal]

Yea. Water Filtration Suit uses no power. I use it too.

[jolly nebula]

What gear should i use actually?

[steel shoal]

20 water every 28 water lost.

[warm basalt]

I go between that suit and diving suit (||the reinforced one||)

[jolly nebula]

I use water suit, scanner chip, compass, rebreather, ultra high tank, charge fins, and cold gloves

[steel shoal]

Below Zero doesn't give you much choice. Reinforced Dive Suit is not very useful as there isn't heat damage outside of geysers.

You can put on the Reinforced Gloves for the little damage reduction.

[warm basalt]

still makes you recieve little damage

[jolly nebula]

I dont really like the og game as much, so u had no idea

[steel shoal]

SN gives you a ton of choice, BZ is just. The same gear, but switch to cold suit when on land.

[warm basalt]

I mean, you can tank a whole 2 hits from levis if you wear it

[steel shoal]

54% damage reduction, but vehicles protect you better anyway.

[jolly nebula]

I hate being on land because i always lose stuff

[warm basalt]

maybe true, but I don't wanna get rid of my 5 section seatruck to go search the depths for some nickel

[jolly nebula]

Wdym?

Nickel is in the lilypad caves

[steel shoal]

The Seatruck is so much safer. Creatures don't attack it when you're not piloting it, and you have the zap module to help you.

[warm basalt]

I search for it in the crystal caverns

[steel shoal]

I think Lilypads monkeys can give you nickel.

[jolly nebula]

Oh, interesting

I rarely go there

It just bores me and i get lost easily

[warm basalt]

I just find my way back by "Go higher, you'll live"

[jolly nebula]

Interesting

[warm basalt]

because I typically enter the depths through ||Marguerit's Seabase|| entry

[jolly nebula]

Wdym?

[warm basalt]

it's the main way I go to the caverns

[jolly nebula]

Are there other entrances?

[warm basalt]

||deep purple vents has an entryway||

[jolly nebula]

I only use the lilypads way

Because i only really bring my prawn

[warm basalt]

lilypads is basically the only one most people use

unless they've got a seabase in the place I mentioned

[jolly nebula]

I have only lived in lilypads

[warm basalt]

my first true seabase, the first time I played the game

was in lily pads

now, I'm on a hardcore save with about 15+ hours in by now, and I live ||at the top of the ventgardens||

[jolly nebula]

Last time i had a "base" in the delta dock, it was just for charging batteries and power cells, it was a single tube

[warm basalt]

I think it's called the ||Tree Spires|| before you actually go down

[jolly nebula]

Oh, youd probably know then

[warm basalt]

?

[jolly nebula]

Why is there a little ventgarden so close to lilypads

Do they wander or something?

[warm basalt]

oh, the tiny ones just float around the map after you visit that area for the first time

the big one sits in one place though, he's anchored to the ground

[jolly nebula]

Ah, i found one above the mercury and now its almost in the lilypads now

[warm basalt]

its schmoovin

[jolly nebula]

Yes

[warm basalt]

but yeah they just kinda float around, nothing to be worried about

I mean if you want you could kill it to possibly respawn it in the vents

[jolly nebula]

Should i be worried about the fact that my scanner room has a chelicerate setting?

[warm basalt]

perhaps

then again mine always does lol, Chelly (what I've named it, sounds like Kelly) is my neighbor

[jolly nebula]

Nice

[warm basalt]

there it is

[jolly nebula]

I think mine is around 300-400 meters away though

Its on the edge of my range, which is 400m

[warm basalt]

oh then you should be A-OK

you're probably picking up the one I live by

[jolly nebula]

Vents?

[warm basalt]

yup

[jolly nebula]

Nice

I havent named it yet, but i named the lithium area one

Its named craig
(Pronounced CrAig, with a capital A)

[warm basalt]

like I said before, my neighbor Chelly

[jolly nebula]

Cool

I had neighbors in an older save

They were really angry

[warm basalt]

oh yeah the levis typically are angy persistently

[jolly nebula]

I had a void base

[warm basalt]

oh you got them void khellys

[jolly nebula]

Theyre really angry

[warm basalt]

funny

I mean I could do that if I felt like it, but to be honest I don't want to risk dying on a hardcore save lmao

[jolly nebula]

Yeah,i get that

[warm basalt]

the deepest base I have is in the ||Fabricator Depths|| because I felt like I needed a rest stop down there

[jolly nebula]

My base is a bit weird

My base

[warm basalt]

at least you've got room, I have to live on the edge of a cliff with little to no room to expand

[jolly nebula]

Ummmm, i dont know how

But im freezing underwater

[warm basalt]

if you don't move at all underwater you start slowly losing temp

[jolly nebula]

Ohhhhhh

I had to pause to send the image to my phone

I just closed the game instead of pausing

[warm basalt]

basically an incentive to not stay stagnant in the water, if the oxygen wasn't bad enough

[jolly nebula]

I just realized

My image doesnt show

But i have 5575 power

[warm basalt]

yeah you said you had every type of power so I'd imagine

[jolly nebula]

My old saves had less than 500

My last one only had enough to function

For power charging

[warm basalt]

I've got 1.1k power but I still run out occasionally

[jolly nebula]

I lived in my seatruck

[jolly nebula]

How?

[warm basalt]

Subnautica: Camper Edition

because I forget to restock my bioreactor

[jolly nebula]

Wdym?

[jolly nebula]

Oh, F

[warm basalt]

well, more like RV

because you said you lived in your seatruck

[jolly nebula]

Oh, yeah

I hear camper and think shooting game camper

[warm basalt]

nope

the liveable one

[jolly nebula]

Yeah

I had a lot of stuff

I had a few modules

1 sleeper, 1 fabrication, 3 or 4 storage, 1 teleporter, and the docking

My truck was slow af

[warm basalt]

"A few" proceeds to have a mobile armory

[jolly nebula]

It was still slower than the base speed

Even with a horsepower and using the afterburner

[warm basalt]

I've only got horsepower rn but I'm probably gonna stick with just that

[jolly nebula]

Afterburner is only good if you gotta get away from stuff

Or if youre slow af

[warm basalt]

my tree of power

[chrome heath]

MY SEATRUCK 😭😭

[warm basalt]

yeah honestly it's good for the slower vehicles

[chrome heath]

how the hell are those solar panels working is what I wonder

[warm basalt]

idk, I have no clue how anything here is working but they are

[next current]

Aww that's kinda cute.

[warm basalt]

I don't know whether to take that in a good way or not, but its the best way to generate energy without having to limit my building room by a lot

[next current]

Take it both ways.

[warm basalt]

alr

yeah this is where I decided to settle down so I've gotta be concise when trying to build

[jolly nebula]

Nice

Why is it blue?

[warm basalt]

I think I went too far up

[jolly nebula]

Actually, how is it blue

[warm basalt]

oh you mean my base?

[jolly nebula]

Yea

[warm basalt]

control room lets you change it

its what you see in the bottom left corner

[jolly nebula]

What?

Ika go check this out

[warm basalt]

here

its more of a purple tone than blue, the water just makes it look blue

[jolly nebula]

My base is now brass colors

[next current]

It even comes with its own beacon. :)

[jolly nebula]

I only made the control room for the beacon

How is my character so hungry?

[warm basalt]

you never entered it?

[jolly nebula]

I understand the water

[warm basalt]

no clue, she hongry

[jolly nebula]

But i had to eat 5 fish to max hunger

[jolly nebula]

I did once to put a jukebox and left it alone forever

[warm basalt]

lol

so apparently I had a base like this at some point, I forget when but it was a steam screenshot

[jolly nebula]

Cool base

Idk how steam screenshots work

[warm basalt]

very... prepared

it's just F12 then you can view it from the library's game page at any time

[jolly nebula]

Oh, i might try it later

I dont have below zero on steam

[warm basalt]

what do you play it on then?

[warm basalt]

oh I see

[jolly nebula]

I just like playing switch games

And both games went on sale

[warm basalt]

fair enough, my OLED has seen better days after days of grinding for shinies

on a multitude of games in the series

[jolly nebula]

Ah

Ive only managed to get 7 total and all 5 pokemon games i own

In over a year

[warm basalt]

I've got a box and a half so far

[jolly nebula]

Nice

I kinda have 8

I have a screenshot of #8

It was one that was impossible to catch

[warm basalt]

how so

[jolly nebula]

Have you seen the ditto block group quest from s/v?

[warm basalt]

yeah

[jolly nebula]

They can be shiny

[warm basalt]

[placid kite]

where do i ||craft alan, its not in fabricator||

[warm basalt]

||Fabricator depths, down past the crystal caverns||

[jolly nebula]

How far are you?

[placid kite]

just got his tissues

[warm basalt]

🤧

[jolly nebula]

You also need skeletron and prgans

[warm basalt]

(jk)

[placid kite]

i have all 3

[jolly nebula]

Oop, autocorrect

[placid kite]

yeah

skeletron prime??

[warm basalt]

bro fought skeletron so many times it autocorrected

i bet you have both chippy's couch and the relic

[jolly nebula]

Ive had to fight prime so many times 😭

My main world atm is a ftw, drunk, constant world

So i gotta deal with the bombs

[warm basalt]

isn't that just getfixedboi

[jolly nebula]

Nah

[placid kite]

my friend beat infernum with yoyos only

[jolly nebula]

Gfb is a combo of all the seeds

[warm basalt]

oh right

I forgot you can choose a custom seed in the new updates

[jolly nebula]

Nice, i did it with using broken tank items

[warm basalt]

I've never beat anything past revengeance

[jolly nebula]

I used a mod to do it, the seed combo maker thing is in 1.4.5

[placid kite]

on my first ever world, i beat wall of flesh using items from my friends world and thought i beat the game, so i just spoent all day trying to clear corruption (i was 7)

[jolly nebula]

Ah, i was similar

I thought mechs were the end

[warm basalt]

before I ever fight WoF I just separate corruption from overworld with a giant canyon

does the job, takes time though

[jolly nebula]

I had only done xbox 360 before

[jolly nebula]

I just either bomb it, purify it, or is dig tunnels

Prehm putifying is horrible

[warm basalt]

bombing it is also a good idea

demolitionist is my friend, he sells me bombs for less than 1 silver

so I can spam bombs as much as I want

[jolly nebula]

Yeah

I like the cyborg and the dryad

[eternal garnet]

uhm. On topic please

[jolly nebula]

Ok

[warm basalt]

right, on to #off-topic

[jolly nebula]

Yep

[placid kite]

||al-an is confusing, like his entire race is ai? who made his species then||

[eternal garnet]

not AI. A|| group intelligence, like bees||

[placid kite]

||oh, i assumed he was ai coz he can just change his form||

what was that thing before i needed to ||get a pet?||

[eternal garnet]

I don't see how that is AI

The big fish tank. ACU

[placid kite]

how is it found?

[eternal garnet]

I said. I foolishly thought you made notes

go get the ACU in ||Mercury Bow, depth about 300-400m, at south-west corner of lilypad biome.||
Then find the egg locations. Videos are easiest

it needs a round or large room

[placid kite]

i cant tell if this is insulting but thanks

i have a "large room built"

what am i looking for here?

[warm basalt]

large glass cylinder

like, room sized

should be to the right of the first room you enter

[placid kite]

ive found somehuge jellyfish

[warm basalt]

oh you're in the wrong place then

[placid kite]

im meant to go inside?

dont i need a laser cutter for that

[warm basalt]

into the wreckage yes

and yes for cutter

for the jellyfish though, no, just go inside from under it

[placid kite]

looks like if i want a pet i need a laser cutter

[warm basalt]

it's possible to get an ||Eye Jelly|| egg if you want that

[placid kite]

nah

[warm basalt]

also yeah kinda

[placid kite]

i meant i need a laser cutter to get the tank

chemical apes here i come

[warm basalt]

check the mine, it has some frags

[chrome heath]

yeah I got one before, got it in an alien observatory, you know, there never does seem to be any oxygen in the tanks

so how do the fish breathe

[loud matrix]

Subnautica BZ is the best version

[loud matrix]

can you send me screenshot pls?

[placid kite]

got the laser cutter

took a while coz i decided to have a shower too

[chrome heath]

showers should be functional in sbz

[placid kite]

irl

[chrome heath]

unless they are

[placid kite]

why did i think i needed a laser cutter to enter

[chrome heath]

wait, subnautica players take showers? I thought they just played subnautica irl when in their room /j

[placid kite]

now wheres this tank

[chrome heath]

what tank

[placid kite]

.

[eternal garnet]

Alien Containment Unit

[placid kite]

i cant find it

i think im in the correct area, ship near the lilly pad biome

on the way to pilots last location

[eternal garnet]

whats the depth of the top of the ship? if it's not 300m, wrong one

[bold monolith]

They are indeed.

@rustic sun, how did you quit your game before?

[eternal garnet]

but, explore it anyway and scan stuff inside panels

[placid kite]

im in the wrong ship

the top is like 70m

[rustic sun]

i saved and then left

[bold monolith]

Did you shut down the computer with the power button?

[rustic sun]

yes

[bold monolith]

Maybe use the Windows taskbar next time.

[eternal garnet]

you damaged your save, and windows too

The power button is for ON. Only.

[rustic sun]

it´s what I always do0, it never caused a problem before. I was once told that it was better for the pc to use the button for On and OFF

[rustic sun]

I used to but then got told otherwise

[eternal garnet]

what you said: "I dropped a glass many times, it never caused a problem before"

[rustic sun]

yeah i get what you mean

[eternal garnet]

Do not turn off with the power button. You damage files

[rustic sun]

i 4realized my mistake now

[eternal garnet]

Windows is Not Done Writing Changes, if you are fast

[rustic sun]

is there any way to restore my world progress?

[bold monolith]

Disk writes are asynchronous, if you use the power button Windows doesn't have time to write everything.

[rustic sun]

i mean, that was not my first time saving

maybe there is like an old save that can be restored?

how could I find that?

[bold monolith]

It's overwritten. So the chances to recover an old state are close to zero.

[rustic sun]

but not completely zero?

[placid kite]

meatie is this the right ship?

[bold monolith]

You might find the temporary save in C:\ProgramData\Unknown Worlds with a recovery software, maybe.

[eternal garnet]

no. that's purple vents

[rustic sun]

do you know any good recovery software?

[eternal garnet]

So find the green biome, Lilypads. In the south-west corner of it, deeper

[bold monolith]

The temporary save doesn't stay there for a long period of time, it's erased when you close the game.

[rustic sun]

oh well

[eternal garnet]

Sorry, this is really difficult. I think your save is lost

[bold monolith]

No but just take one google suggests that would do it.

[eternal garnet]

if it was one file, but it's many

[rustic sun]

wdym?

[bold monolith]

If you type “recovery software windows” on Google it will certainly suggest something that is at least functional.

[rustic sun]

ah oka

okaythanks

[bold monolith]

I have some names for Linux because I used to do some forensic. Like Foremost. I didn't really do that on Windows.

[rustic sun]

I found some files with no retracable datapath from today, the name is/are seemingly random numbers and letters, do you think that could be it? @bold monolith (sry for the tag)

[bold monolith]

You want at least global-objects.bin and scene-objects.bin.

[rustic sun]

so it cant be those files?

am I looking for files or a folder?

[bold monolith]

Files. If your software let you specify a path look for C:\ProgramData\Unknown Worlds. If you can't, try to recover the files in C, even if your game is installed on another drive.

It's unlikely you would recover anything from the game's folder, as the file isn't erased it's overwritten.

With a bunch of null bytes.

[rustic sun]

okay, thanks

I will try anyways

[placid kite]

think i found it

[rustic sun]

I can only find player.log files, thats not it, right?

[bold monolith]

No. Also, Player.log is in C:\Users..., not the same path.

If you have nothing in C try for the drive where the game is installed, you never know.

[rustic sun]

I only have c

do you think I should try to recover the files with the weird names anyways?

[placid kite]

wtf

theres 6 whale leviathans here

[bold monolith]

No, there might be a lot and it isn't worth your time.

[rustic sun]

@bold monolith So I found Global objects and scene objects in slot 0001, but these files already are on my drive

[rustic sun]

it´s not that much

[bold monolith]

Try to recover them, open them with notepad.

[rustic sun]

whats notepad

[bold monolith]

A text program.

[rustic sun]

and should I just recover global and scene objects or also something else?

like gameinfo.json for example

[bold monolith]

gameinfo.json contains metadata. With the custom mode it contains your custom mode options as well, but it's easy to create one.

[rustic sun]

whats a custom mode?

[bold monolith]

If you want specific game options, like increasing the creature damage for your game for instance.

[rustic sun]

ah okay, thanks

[placid kite]

can pet ||trivalves|| die

[rustic sun]

I found some files that lost their names and dates, could that also be it?

[bold monolith]

Who knows.

[rustic sun]

okay

[next current]

Gamers, should I save this Peepers life or leave him there?

[bold monolith]

I think you should just accept your loss.

[fervent bloom]

I would definitely put it back in the water.

[rustic sun]

Sry but I can´t really do that

[bold monolith]

I don't think you have the choice, if you can't retrieve those files.

[next current]

Very well then.

He called me fat and swam away. :(

[rustic sun]

You aren´t fat

[next current]

Thank you. :)
