i wanna try scanning it
oh ya i need bio reactor fuel
i filled my bio reactor with the acid stuff used for batteries
at like the start of the game but since then i didnt fill it up
i use to use gel sacks in sn1
just found this light, wonder if theres some artifact near by i havent discovered yet
lol i called it
you would want mk2 depth before going there
oh, the big rock above this has a secret
wht big rock?
anyway im looking for margarets home
really big rock above the hole
i cant find it, i keep reaching depth limit when last time i reached her with mk0
my pda said tht a big rock detached from the surrounding area or smth like tht
ima go store my stuff and come back
uh, a beacon at her place is recommended
From the pilot beacon, go tunnel ||
NW||
alr thx
alr wht plants do i grow @eternal garnet ?
peppers, prestons, and anything else you want
check that salad recipe
maybe melons, but I don't like the complexity of replanting them all the time
no. In your prev screenshot, the rock top of picture
Peppers are my fav!
find a way inside it
alr ima eat my dinner then go to margs house then check out this rock then check out the mercury crash
explain before I ban you
wait a minute this whole time u were a mod?
lol, i didnt even realise
playtesters are untrained mods, basically. Backups
u test the game before its published?
sure
wdym sure
We test a lot
how does one become a play tester
First you need 600+ hours in game
you apply, when they post asking for testers. Not right now
nah you don't. But some dev or test experience helps. But it's unpaid, so not hard to get
have u tested sn3?
sn2. Testing has not started yet
what?
the game has been out for more than 5 years
wait sn2 is below zero right?
nooo.
oooooooh
i though sn1 was the first game while sn2 was below zero
subnautica 1 and subnautica 2
lol
even more confusing, SN had a 2.0 update
But that's a version, not a product name
@eternal garnet
is this the donut hole opening to the giant rock u were talking abt?
yes, rock upper part of pic
no like im staring into the hole
yes
is this it?
wait i have a feeling ik wht ur "surprise" is
ah nice swim charge fins, didnt use them in teh first game not gonna use them in this game either
yes. hidden base
YOOO
the water filtration system, i rlly needed tht
alr so so far ive been to omega and delta
phi is and theta are on land
well i think thts theta
thatäs koppa
wht alphabet is tht?
old greek
cuz like it kidna looks like theta but it isnt
and it's not Kappa, a recent greek letter
oh. thats Zero
oh alr
ima go to koppa next
aah man
@eternal garnet i thought i was gonna find the equivelant of the cuddle fish egg in the omega lab
but hey, im happy i got the water filtration system
not there. There are 3 spots, 2 eggs each
Only options for fins in below zero are regular fins or swim charge fins. And if you use seaglide a lot when swimming, swim charge fins are worth it
alr ill craft it
@eternal garnet i just finished exploring the second mercury crash
the one with the yasmine records, time to listen to all pdas and figure out the lore
why cant i add seeds here
meatie swe below zero goat
i did
what does the control room do?
some displays, integrity, time, 3D map that shows leaks and lets you power down rooms. Is a beacon
oh, also base coloring
and allows you to name the base
dat's nice
the room at the top ima build an alien containment where i harvest fish for food, on the right is my water filtration and on the left is gonna be the new spot for my bio reactor
the 2 buildings on the right are storage and crafting, the on on the left is my indoor farm and connected to my storage is the bedroom which is mainly for decoration
and then i have an observatory, moon pool, sea truck dock and outdoor farm which ima harvest gel sacks from to use for bio fuel
aint no way, i go up to the machine to collect water and it gives me salt
byproduct
the seaglide's 2x2?? i gotta get that game
why arent they hatching
it takes time and require free space . What do you have inside and how long you waited?
Correction: free space is only required for fishes to make more eggs, not hatch the existing ones, if I recall correctly.
Hatching takes significantly longer than single bed rest tho, so hit the bed and go for a walk.
the lore intensifies
too late i fed them to the bio reactor
@eternal garnet smth is going on
you may want to blur/spoiler the lore fragments
oh srry
@eternal garnet maybe ||sam sabotaged the crew for some reason so alteraa had to get rid of her or smth, idk||
oh wait its probably ||marg since she hates alterra||
||who's lil?||
nvm
next line, tho
ya ik
where can i find sea truck prawn suit storage module fragments or whtever its called
Or do you mean the docking module (for carrying prawn with seatruck)? That would be in deep purple vents
is there an opening to this?
nah thts prawn storage i meant sea truck docking
its not an L shape
but it is
its more of a t shape, this is the wreckage thts ontop of deep purple
well, it's in a corner
hollon lemme look
found it
@eternal garnet the entirety of the wreck was a single corridor with a reactor rod, parallel proccesing unit fragment and power cell
yep
yes
LOL THERES NO WAY i was tryna get to one of the artifacts and my pda said "the vent garden is bla bla blah" i was confused cuz i didnt see any ventagardens but my game was laggy so i decided to pause for a bit and wait till the game calms down, out of no where while im in the pause screen the vent garden spawns infront of me
oh no
my game just rendered further and i dont think i wanna play this game anymore
||Why actually were the Alterra facilities abandoned?||
||a mixture of bad weather and two facilities being blow up||
||also, if Sam had the antidote, why did she also plan to blow up the excavation site to a point of no entry||
I have no idea
she did not. That was an accident
Well parvan walked in right?
Well, the plan was to blow up the thing in there, I guess
Then she just ||blew it up||
or the entrance. not sure
||Didnt she spoke with Maida that they're gonna blow it up, whats the point of making the cure||
There's a PDA with an audio recording. Things went not to plan
||Unless she planned to plant them, get back, administer the cure and then detonate?||
that seems a likely plan
yeah
Oh, that's just Greg. He's pretty chill if you give him a couple big zaps
||Sam was in fact negligent||
yes, she forgot my birthday
no no, Alterra decreed that she was negligent. Are you wanting the call from Alterra lawyers?
Is there really any proof that ||Alterra is the spawn of satan||?
I played the full story a while ago maybe I forgot about sth
No?
||Just that they wanted to utilize Kharaa, but never it was said for bad purposes||
They are just a corporation with not much care for consequence
Idk, for me the game is trying to evilize it too much through the dialogues
but hell, maybe its just me
It's sorta implied they'll use ||kharaa as a bio weapon|| but never explicitly stated
so no, no real proof
Yesterday finished the achievements and I dont even want to finish the playthrough
||Snowfox|| noclipped into the ground lol
Idk abt you but I don't trust a corporation with constant expansion in mind with a ||bacterium that wiped out an entire race||
When money is in the question I feel they'll sell to the highest bidder
guys someone can help me?. I dont know how to I use ||Exterior Growbed||
Do you have it built?
yes
What are you trying to grow
Uhh water plants aren't gonna grow on that
I grow surface plant
If that's the case, drop it on the ground and knife it
||Frost Vase Plant||
Drop and knife it
Yea drop that on the ground and knife it
But ı only have seed
What?
Huh well lore would state the grow bed would be frozen there... though I doubt that's a real feature
Show inventory
That is indeed a seed
Ig try using an interior grow bed in a base
Don't know what else would help
ok
I think i might have encountered a bug, where i can't drop anything around myself like ||snowfox|| and ||Spypenglin||
This pretty much ruined my game as i am in ||arctic spires||
That is true, but what abouth the ||spy pengling||
Yep... Sadly it didn't work.
Hmm well ||the spy pengling isn't necessary for completing the game but I think you know what you can't do||
Yeah, the ||antidote|| is unobtainable for me now
Someone see ||ice worm||?
I got killed by it.
You don't need it to beat the game, it doesn't stop you
I do know it, completed the game a couple times
But i want to finish the story yk
Well if worst comes to worst you can just cheat it in
Not your fault this isn't working
I ain't doing that.
Fair ig
Yea, i did post it in bug smash, now i am waiting till it gets fixed if it ever will be fixed.
Seems somewhat unlikely unfortunately, with the sequel approaching
One thing for sure is that they won't fix something that can't be reproduced.
So if you find out, make another report.
Okay...
Wait let me say HOW and WHEN did that happen.
I hopped on the snowfox and i just drove it a bit, and suddenly it just fell down to the ground.
After i jumped
If it can't be fixed... Then i don't know.
Fixed ≠ reproduced.
To understand the problem there should be clear reproduction steps triggering it.
And what if they won't work?
Then the bug will stay.
Well, then. I will make an new report
I can't reproduce it right now, even when driving it for a while using the jump module.
Hold up.
Is my snowfox that i have right now bugged?
I created new one, and i will check the jump module now
I just fixed it.
I fixed it by creating new snowfox, i jumped with it and it works now!
Nice!
So i guess, it was not a bug for everyone, it was just that spawnnearby glitched probably, and by making new snowfox and doing the same it just got... Fixed?
I guess... I will continue now
Okay.
This is it!
Mhm...
It might be part of the problem, but not like that at least.
Okay.
OMG TYSM
when this happens to me this was literally the song I was thinking abt
I tried scanning him 3 times, got it to Abt 60 percent, he got me to 2 hp
Where do you find crystalized sulfer?
Also, if I craft a powercell with used batteries will it be used?
Crystalline sulfur in below zero is basically as cave sulfur in first game: sulfur plants in arctic kelp forest caves. Delta island is a good source for sulfur. In below zero batteries and power cells retain their power level when used in crafting, so if you use two empty batteries, your crafted power cell will also be empty
Alright, I was exploring Delta station and found it
salad is literally the best food
its so easy to make, gives u a ton A TON of water and food and it only takes up one slot
not to mention u can craft it in bulk, 4 fever pepper tress can get u 26 fever peppers which can be used to make 26 salads
Yes?
oh alr
i thought sam was tryna like trick the other girl (i forgot her name) in order to gain her trust or smth
where's the best place to find nickel
i have the reinforced dive suit but im still getting cold
i thought it was supposed to make u not get cold
how do i craft the artifact skeleton?
i got all the ingredients but idk how to craft it
If you want to stay warm, you need the cold suit
where can i scan it?
In a special place
Phi robotics (cold suit scan)
i was just abt to go to the surface
only problem is idk how
wait i can take my prawn suit up with me
True, prawn or snowfox will also keep you warm. Or you could eat heating food/coffee. Or build a habitat (even unpowered works) to get warm again. Or go inside caves. Or use the steam exhausts. Multiple ways to stay warm
Is there a way to avoid ice worms?
@steel stream
Every time I try to advance further past the bridge an ice worm jumps out then ignores me completely
Damn
How do I get the rebreather
If you still need, it's at 170m depth in twisty bridges canyon by a small crane
Thanks
hi guys
Dang!
By the way || there is another one on the other side of the vent garden ||
I can't enter my seatruck
is occupied. I have no great solution, except load a save
Can't, I didn't save yet
I don't want to redo 3 hours of work
what do you mean, save often!
often
you can try, I cannot guarantee: Go 300m away, then back
it might despawn
Thanks
Should be good right?
i'm not sure of despawn range, or if it even works
if Ignis was here, he can edit save files
Thanks!
it worked?

ok now, save every 15 min. Also bring a beacon everywhere. two reasons
Yeah it did!
When you die, the beacon drops IIRC
gruesome fact then: When you move, creatures continually die as you get too far from them
(not leviathans)
Meh, it's only sad IMO if it was canonical
it puts perspective on accidentally bumping fish
most common reason for loading a save: truck is stuck on land or inside a module or something. There is no fix for this
Yeah
although you can push the truck with the prawn
Right now, my current objective is to find the crafting module, but I kinda forgot where it was
it's in, you didn't ask, ||deep twisty bridges, 300+m||
Oh, it's there...
Gonna need a rebreather
Yeah, but the prawn module should be the last one on a seatruck considering the fact you can't attach modules to it
Also I don't have a prawn right now
no, the truck dock. A building. The latest addition
Pretty sure I never crafted a prawn actually, not in SN or BZ
Oh? It's new?
not anymore, but it's a late addition
I played the game when it released for the first time...
the other thing is docking module
Yeah I confused both
Got both the storage module and fabricator module AND scanned the traps and the squidshark
Hey I'm glad eating a bladderfish raw still gives you oxygen
Other than the Sparse Arctic, any good spot to build a base?
lilypads, purple vents, tree spires
Purple vents ARE pretty but the local Chelicerate do not seem to like me
So that leaves Lilypads and Tree Spires
I don't think I went to the Tree Spires often
I should head there again
They should be close to the purple vents and lilypads IIRC
high up in a large tree spire, you are not bugged by the local cheli
anyone found this place ?
the worm test area is cleared in recent versions
Debug spot removed
In a tree spire?
no
True, plus easy access to Mercury
MK1 is unlocked when you craft the seatruck isn't it?
yes
That's pretty
yes. Please spot unique thing
plantable
Gonna be useful for the ||Architech Pieces|| right?
and at least one more thing
Turns out, the spot I'm in is perfectly between all of these
Got it
I need a place to get really good outcrop does anyone know where that might be
unspecific, but thermal vents has most things
Ok thank you mate
"thermal spires". The biome delta sits in
so many batteries
mercury II moment
In my current game, I have about 4 extra 'regular' batteries, swapping them out when needed - I'd rather not bother with the advanced ones tho
advanced one is a must for build tool
Why is the next Subnautica Subnautica 2 and not 3
because below zero was a spin-off, not a direct sequel
dm me to join the discord bc im lonely
That was NOT a spinoff
It is
That game was beautiful and is a sequal
A spinoff doesn’t mean it’s bad 💀
No I know it's not a spinoff though
It is
it is though 😭 bc it’s not a sequel so what is it then
there were like three in here when I left what the heck
They had a bit of fun
oops major spoilers in this image actually lol
Jeez come on
my pinned blueprints are endgame, as far as i know
are the major spoilers in the room with us
I already explained what they are
I haven't finished the game yet so I don't know what's going to come up early or be endgame
but I think I'm close to done
is it normal to have a docking station before exploring aurora also how do i get the mod fabricator for the docking station
wrong chat ❌
how do i get its fur?
also kinda scared to jump into this giant butt crack in the ice
You don't kill it.
You need to use the spy pengling.
well i mean, kill or be killed
oh, ig its kinda too late for tht
That's why I said you don't kill it.
You don't get their fur that way.
Also they are scared with flares.
So you really don't have a good reason to do so.
Need is a strong word, I just go into their "nests" and steal it from there
i was in the cave then i suddenly found tht thing walking out like a trex on jurrasic park, i wasnt about to find out wht it will do once it spots me so i just killed it
You get free flares all over the place, and they last a good long while
It isn't strong. It's the only way to get fur from them. Yes you can find fur in the caves as well. Using the pengling is still the easiest way.
I mean prawn doesn't take much damage from them and can grab it with claw arm
Granted they simply don't care about the pengling
FINALLY!
Yee I love those sm
Those are so hard to find
yeah even with the ||Mineral detector||
and with the ||Scanner room||
finally killed the shadow leviathan
heavy spoilers : ||for some reasont he cave collapsed causing paravan and sam to die, but sam wasnt supposed to be there. alexis was able to link the dots and figured out it was sam tht destroyed omega lab||
It wasn't exactly like that.
||Sam was the one who blew up the cave and killed Parvan with her. Marguerit was behind Omega.||
^^
||there's a log detailing the planning of said event||
||I believe Sam accidentally blew it because parvan frightened her||
wow
she deserved to die
Question, but when you ||go to the Frozen Leviathan, there is a PDA by the cave plus a PDA on the bench next to the necklace. Picking up the PDA at the bench triggers dialogue to Alan but would it have done additional dialogue to have done the one by the cave first?||
killed a father and a wife because "kharaa is dangerous 🤓 "
not the ||seatruck dock|| cause i made it in my 2nd hour
Uhm yea considering what natural selection tells us about it... it's really dangerous
if i was in the main characters position (i just realised i dont even know the name of the person im playing) id leave the planet
Robin
ya if i was in robins position id spit on sams grave and leave the planet
That's kinda extreme don't you think
its so unfair tht paravan got killed because of sams stupidity
she pretty much murdered him
am i missing someone?
why are there so many 😭 (i didnt spawn the min)
also why do people complain about this lil guy? i went right up to him and he didnt care
THEYRE SO NICE
i take it all back
I LIVE
You're missing Sam and Lillian. Both are at Outpost Zero.
Fr I just pass by him with only a seaglide and sometimes without a seaglide
yeah
I rememeber having a farm
but at worst you build an exosuit<<
and just fill him up
then u are good for the whole game
Sweet. Thanks dude. The dang things comes outa nowhere and when I inevitably curse my mom gets annoyed
Ya I haven't gone there yet
It's sort of obscure, but you will end up finding it
anyone help me wih finding some diamonds?
deep twisty bridges. southern half. Below 300m
my semoth cant go below 300 tho
nice. Use the o2 plants
and i need it for the upgrade
guys just found a || Snow Stalker ||
did you also find a flare? See if it likes that (don't throw it)
||guys just killed it with a knife||
what should i do with the || juveline ones||?
pet one. Then ignore
||already tried it...||
there's another one but || it didn't see me||
and || it's not on my path ||
i can finally build a || snowfox||
finally || spy penglins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!||
beautiful
it's in better resolution in the game itself
It pretty much is, it's a side story that doesn't talk much about the main Subnautica, personally, I'd be interested in seeing more of Below Zero's story line but I would NOT call it mainline
Dev say it's sequal and I say sequal
*alternative universe spinoff where, instead of a crater, life on the planet survived closer to the glaciers
They are on the same planet and the crater and sector zero co exist with only the void and water between them and you can even see sector zero in the ending scene of subnautica
Not only that but the devs who made planned both games said the same thing I am
So if you think your right opposed to the people who literally MADE THE GAMES go ahead
Lots of things return from the crater including Marguerit literally getting dragged into the void by a reaper in her prawn suit
Precursors and lore continuing off of the subnautica lore all lining up
Jesus christ
How did life survive in sector zero when there was no sea emperor there to sustain the ecosystem by secreting an incomplete enzyme?
Hi, I wanted to ask where can I find all the information on the first story of subnautica below zero?
Yeah, those goth leeches have quite the bad attitude
but i got almost all the crystals i need
jus 2 more
also i wanna scan him
Might have to feed him a few gas torpedos before it would be safe to do
nah im built different
hes campinggg 😭
i got it
i might not actually be built different
I AM HIM
GOT IT
now i just gotta avoid the || red snake shrimp || thing 😭
i avoided it
but it did bite me
If you don't want to get eaten, stop looking so damn tasty 🍽️
Electricity is not a good flavor though
The only issue I have with below 0 is I don't like Robin talking to herself in the early game
oh oka y
As a person who talks to himself every hour I don’t think it’ll annoy me
It doesn't annoy everyone but it kinda annoyed me
Also it seems stupid in my opinion to talk underwater, I'm pretty sure that would take some oxygen
It's also stupid not to get sick with the bends
And for pressure to not matter
Answer: Video game logic
I personally wished the spoke more
For someone keeping a log and having company, she's very quiet
And doesn't say much either
I wanted more convos with her head companion
Or with herself, references to her life after Sam left and such
It'd be great character building
True, most of the sam content was relegated to pda logs she doesn't react to really
She has alot more to say about ||the framed pictures and her necklace|| for some reason
It's probably because opening the PDA after collecting a log will instantly play it, interrupting the voice line
The decorative items don't do that
Yea that's fair, but like she could've talked more about their childhood after you get a certain amount of pdas or sumthin, the only childhood moment I can really remember her talking about was ||playing I believe space researchers or something like that, and she doesn't really talk about it too much||
I just think you should be shown the importance of their relationship more ig
Is this channel the right place for subnautica below zero related memes?
That would be memes and media, its in the name

let's go!
||The mercury 2 avoided getting completely destroyed by releasing I believe the heated water from their reactor, it causes the qep to miss a direct shot||
It would be on a log
yeah found it
but technically ||it's still just speculation on the part of mercury 2's captain||
True but you can't deny it worked
maybe it prioritised heat
Though there's no telling if distance had a role to play in this
what if?
That's hilarious lmao
what in the actual
it could be
There is no enzyme needed for a ecosystem?
When that ecosystem is infected there is
But it isn't infected
Not after 2 years of the enzyme being spread around
Yes so the sea emperor isn't needed because its cured no?
The sea emperors are the reason it's cured at all
Would've been just as kharaa infected before that
Like they said aswell, there was no incomplete enzyme being spread around by vents, so it probably would've been even worse
And life only exists in the Crater because the Sea Emperor protected it while the entire planet was wiped out by a virus
The existence of life in such diversity in sector zero is a huge plot hole in the Below Zero, unfortunately
Not as big a plot hole as ||marg magically getting cured|| lol
But this can still be explained somehow, e.g. by || above-average immunity or the consumption of a large amount of enzyme from the body of a predator ||
So of life exists at the crater why not sector zero
You are acting as if subnautica doesn't have plot holes
||Immunity means nothing, she was there for years before the enzyme was properly released, and as far as reapers being a cure don't you think the architects would've found that out?||
Because there was || last Sea Emperor in the crater that protected it ||
||The sea emperor juveniles were hatched at the end of subnautica||
They are still around
Yes but the point is they weren't for many years
~at least for 1000 years
In the pda entry for sea emperor leviathans it says they stay in the void meaning they can easily spread the enzymes to sector zero and if not then the ghost leviathans in the void can
Yes but for 1000 years it was just peepers with incomplete cure
Peepers can not survive in the void
What do you mean 1000 years?
That's around how long the architects have been dead on the planet
And the sea emperor was there when they were alive
Where does it say that
frozen leviatan PDA
So what would the frozen leviathan have to say about sea emperors?
Nor the architects
Alright I see architects
But not the sea emperor
|| That Sector Zero was infected 1,000 years ago. And the bacteria got into the planet's ecosystem during an accident at the architects' research center, where they had already trapped the last sea emperior ||
And you are telling me this is a spinoff,
?
Yes, the plot of Below Zero has so many holes that it would be better to be non-canon imho
It could have been fixed so easily 
Bro.... so it continues and expands and directly goes off of subnauticas lore and even the devs say it's a sequal
And you call it a spinoff?
The devs don't call it a sequel
Guess so, but they don't consider it that now
that's just to distract you
https://youtu.be/P-AWFjBONp8?si=h3_5-sQ99g7mKHdG&t=4410
I liked this idea of a plot that could exist, if you're curious take a look 1:13:30 time
Despite the harsh criticism, this video is not an attempt to convince you that Subnautica: Below Zero is a bad game. I've only tried to put into words that phantom sense of disappointment I had with me throughout my time with the game. When compared to other survival games, I'd say that below zero surpasses 90% of them with ease. The only game i...
Also that was before the game even went into early access
It the text format / summary:
|| Sam discovers that Altera is conducting tests on the bacteria and finds proof that it could be weaponized. Using her background in robotics, she decides to rig a fabricator to neutralize the bacteria instead of conjuring up a cure (its easier to neutralize dead leviatan body). She creates schematics for a prawn suit upgrade to cook the bacteria, but Altera gets wise to her plans. They isolate her at Outpost Zero, now relocated to the Lilypad Islands. Sam hides evidence of Altera's dealings in various undersea bases and hidden caches, knowing that her sister Robin might come looking for her.
Around this time, Marguerit Maida arrives at Sector Zero, battered and desperate. Altera offers her supplies in exchange for hunting down Sam, which she reluctantly agrees to. This explains the destroyed underwater bases as Marguerit chases Sam. Sam goes deeper into the ocean to avoid Marguerit and continue developing the technology, but she is eventually caught and killed by Marguerit before she can complete it.
Altera replaces their team with a more professional, discreet group. Enter Robin, who lands during a meteor storm, delaying the Altera crew. Robin investigates the abandoned bases, finding Sam's caches with evidence against Altera. She needs to develop the technology to kill the bacteria herself before Altera returns. Robin eventually contacts Marguerit, who, feeling guilty for her actions, offers her prawn suit technology to help Robin go deeper.
Robin needs a power source for the prawn suit laser. Alan, an alien, contacts her from the bottom of the ocean, offering a special ion cube in exchange for helping him build a body. Alan's motives are ambiguous, and his role in the Kara outbreak is kept vague. Robin helps him, wondering if she made the right choice. With the technology complete, Robin fulfills Sam's wishes by neutralizing the bacteria and keeping it out of Altera's hands.
Robin and Marguerit hack the radio tower to contact the independent Mongolian states, organizing a rescue. The Mongolian states retrieve Robin in exchange for the evidence against Altera, which they can use for political leverage. Marguerit gets her redemption, and all characters have clear, reasonable motives. ||
Alterra hates this story idea
I would've liked ||marg to come with us ngl, she just is stuck there||
|| In fact, the existence of sector zero could be explained here by the fact that Alan, being a scientist, knew that an incomplete enzyme could maintain an ecosystem and, as a form of redemption, he tried to keep the sector alive for a thousand years by transporting/fabricating the incomplete enzyme using architects robots. ||
|| And the cables that are scattered on the map are not energy cables, but wires distributing an incomplete enzyme ||
I wanna know how ||alan got from the disease research facility to sector zero||
|| Consciousness copy/maybe escape? ||
In this story proposal, || it is basically a copy of him ||
||There doesn't seem to be a device that can do that in the crater||
We could use || the asset of the crushed body of the architect that we find in Below Zero and it would be Alan who knew about the existence of the mind copying facility, escaped there and before he died he copied himself + managed to set up everything needed to keep the sector alive ||
||How did he escape, there's no ships to be found and no portals that lead there||
There is a || portal that can be found near the robot facility. Plus, the architects could teleport, so realistically he could have gotten there - we don't know how well their bodies swim. + we can assume that the portal at the crater was destroyed by the falling Aurora||
There is space to credibly justify it
||They can do short range teleportation, and there's no evidence that the aurora is on top of anything important||
In the game files. All we know is that || the main character of the first game did not find it. Plot-wise, this may be the case ||
Wdym in the game files?
|| “there's no evidence that the aurora is on top of anything important”. - there is no evidence of it in the game, I mean - there are no models / nothing on the map there. But we're talking about a game so we can asume that simply plot-wise the main character couldn't find it. ||
We can assume that but when there's no evidence of it that's kind of jumping to conclusions
We're talking about a fictional plot that wasn't realized anyway. || I think the architects would have made a portal between the crater and sector zero. Thats just make sense ||
That's doing the writers job for them, and still an assumption
This also opens up opportunities for other outposts on the planet. || When the architects arrived, there the whole planet was teeming with life, maybe there are other outposts much much deeper that were looking for a cure ||
No evidence of that either
My point is that it makes sense and there are no holes here with this plot. It can be justified in the presented world
I keep talking about an alternative version of Below Zero's storyline. What it might have looked like 
I plan to make a mod for Below Zero changing the storyline and some other things. All in all, I'll write these ideas down because they sound cool. But I'll see how it comes out.
(Spoiler?)
How does Alan not know what music is, if he compared Architect communication with strings that play their own notes, together creating a harmony?
use this symbols to mark spoilers | |
two in the start and two in the end
I know, but I’m not sure if it is something that need to be marked as spoiler? It doesn’t really say much
i mean it isnt relevant to the story itself tbh
but since u put (spoiler) i thought u dont know how to mark it properly
Nore to the gameplay
Makes sense
yeah ik, ur good
wheres a good spot to find diamonds?
ive just started this game and cant seem to find any
deep twisty bridges canyon. it's just a little south where it gets deeper. You need to go below 300m. Use the o2 plants. Need: rebreather
the twisty bridges are the like coral things i presume
coral bridges that twist yes. it's the biome name
i have the signal for the ||alien distress beacon|| is deeper than there fine?
that's the spot, but deeper yes
yeah thanks
This is ridiculous once you build towards the void you can build completely under the map
sounds fun
is it just me or is the ||snowfox|| really hard to use?
It needs a little getting used to
I don't have any difficulty piloting it, but I also use it a ton.
Practice makes perfect
theres a mod that lets you use it across water and stuff too
i think it might buff the speed? it was pretty fun
Honestly I think you should've been able to use it on water
Wouldn't make much sense but would've been fun
Question: why is it that ||Precursors|| look like Centaurs?
Well and this is just a theory, ||it could be they were inspired by human mythology, we know they've been to earth at some point||
There's no lore reason for it and the actual answer isn't interesting: Developer art choice.
I like my theory
Hm.
hey i ran into another problem in my world... my prawnsuit is in a position i cant reach it because its surrounded by those land enemies and its to high to reach the energy cell port
could someone maybe help me?
You shouldn't pilot a Prawn Suit you're too dangerous.
i know
Do you want me to teleport it again?
I still don't have the stasis rifle, propulsion canon, grapple prawn suit arm or kyanite and I'm pretty sure I'm like 70% done with the game
Land enemies?
There's no stasis rifle in below zero
Ah man
Hey guys, I might missed something. Am I able to play campaign with "easy mode" without hunger and thirst?
I started Free Play mode but it seems that I dont have any goals or objectives, so campain isnt running
Yea it's called freedom
Alright maybe I´m not far enough in game, ty I´ll keep on going
||aint no way 2 ppl got killed, important research facilities destroyed and millions spent on research of kharaa just for the antidote to be a fever pepper and a frost vase plant, it was even like a cool reveal like the first subnautica game where u || (first subnautica game spoiler) ||where u had to hatch the empresses eggs for ehr to give u the enzyme, this was in a hole i could reach with my spy penglin||
If all that's left to do is visit outpost 0, scan the leviathans tht I haven't scanned before, got to the biomes I haven't seen before and wait till Alan gives me the location of the next cache
no, you won't be given two of the most important spots. Got to explore
how do i get to outpost 0?
my guess is make a snow fox and insert the jump upgrade
but i dont rlly wanna do tht
north, go right of some ice fruit plants, under the ice and up
i got the game on epic games
it was 15 dollars cheaper
phi labs?
that area, yes
i alr explored the entire place
well im 99% sure i did
i found the docks place with the 2 ice bears thigns
i found the tree area
poor guy froze
W poster
The mug labeled Subnautica is very ... odd
wht does mug labeled mean
oh ok
i thought it was an expression u literally meant a mug thts labeled subnautica
where do u find it?
omega, maybe in zero too
can u pick it up?
wht?
is there anything worth exploring at the world edge?
void chelis, some mineable stacks
so tht is a no go zone
gonna explore deep twisty
cheli's are mainly outside. so it's fine
alr so ive been basically everywhere except
world edge, crystal caves, fabricator caverns which i assume is where i fabricate the artifact pieces
shame they dont have a lava zone like the original game did
oh and tree spire fissures i think
nvm i have been there
i dont get paid enough for this bs
um, I recommend the truck, and to use perimeter defense
fire on attack, not before
i was just tryna scan the prawn suit arm then this guy jumps outta no where
NAH ACTUALLY
im finna stand on business
NOOOO
i was so close to killing it but it ran away
they are not easy to kill
it does not heal
i cant find my way back to my sea truck
finally made it ouit
its a shame i couldnt kill it though
I dont play the game in english and i meant the white fluffy guys with the big teeth that are almost like dogs
ah ok i understand now
Yes
I played the game trough now and its such an awesome game even tho i get myself into trouble all the time
Is english your first language if im allowed to ask @river skiff ?
no
its good but the first game was more enjoyable
Same here and as i asked for support the first game the prawnsuit is called krebs and that translates into cancer suit... i made the support laugh
lol
I dont think so... sadly i was to afraid to go as deep
Yea kinda emberassing
i was afraid to go anywhere near a leviathan until i got the stasis rifle
No idea what that us
kharaa is an insult in my language
the gun tht shoots the bubble
I never got to that point in the game haha
I might give it another go
u didnt finish the game?
i remember i stopped playing for 2 months because i was too scared to do anything
Nope... i spoilert myself and now i lost interest
the game is still good
Yea me too and then i got spoilert
True
Garryfish tho
Gotta say, with BZ's many flaws, man the game is just so friggin pretty
Idk something about arctic or snow regions have a nice vibe to them
Oh, it definitely is. I can never decide where to put a base in Subnautica because I don't love any of the biomes, though this doesn't mean it's not a good game; in contrast, in Below Zero it's difficult for me to decide because there are so many beautiful areas.
how many body segments do ice worms have.
isnt it over 20 or so. i need to know for a thing im making.
I get about 23
im litterly the opposite xd
i dont know if it differs from iceworm to iceworm in a biology sense.
but this pciture shows a top down view
one ping is a ghost ping from me due to forgetting to spoiler the image
22 segments.
it has 22 segments total if you count the head and 1st ring as 1. 23 if you dont.
hello guys
I feel a lil bit stoopid making this
like, i might as well just bring a flashlight
I believe the point of it is that you don't have to hold it, thus can use a different tool. It goes in the same slot as the rebreather does though.. Which is why I never ended up using it.
Fair. For me in specific the switching was annoying 😛
And for the deeper areas you will still need something else regardless. You really need that rebreather there xD
Me to me rn: Did you take penglin?
Me: Yep
Also Me: Did you take remote to it?
Me: Uh....
welp... ig a quick 300m hike to ||seatruck ||wouldnt hurt
probably a angle problem
The repair tool might only work on your own base and equipment
yea that was a joke
Oh its not you own base lol
sadly cant place repair tool on da table in my own base :c
sadly, since i finally got ||prawn||, i have to say goodbye to my air bladder, which helped me escape suffocation many, many times
It remains useful if you're ever exploring without the Prawn suit.
yeah, but prawn is kinda like an armor unda da wata
and with picking up, there are very few times when u need to get out
(also, is there a ||seatruck module ||with moonpool for prawn?)
there's one to dock the prawn
There's a docking module (fragments can be found in the ||Deep Purple Vents||); you still need to exit the Seatruck to board the Prawn suit, but you can travel with both simultaneously.
you can board the prawn from inside
next to the|| radio island||?
oh wait nvm
Delta. Yes. East, in deep crevices. Yellow ground is purple vents
dont tell me
im alr here, just went exploring artifact
also why is prawn falling so slow
like, in first game, it fell decently fast (which was fun) but here its slow as if it was in a mud ocean
also new: you can boost forward, not just up. This makes a massive difference
yeah
but going down is too slow
at this point... why even is there a grappling arm
with that and some experience, you can go really fast
not down tho
imo here prawn kinda acts like a seamoth, with speed, manuverability and pretty much swimming everywhere
Can you? I think you can only release prawn from inside the seatruck and need to exit truck to board prawn
oh. right. My bad
chat
wrong game
guys i just build the sea truck but idk what to do now
Upgrade it to mk1 depth. Explore. Save often. Always carry a beacon
Build a base?
dont have the builder tool yet
Capture dozens of baby penglings?
find it, at ||120m deep in twisty by a small building||
don't reveal if you don't want
Right next to your life pod basically
oh alr
Roughly 150m away
what does it look like
yes
great
because i thought i was gonna have to find it like in the orginal version
where does table coral grow i forgot
rocky walls, 50-150m
ty
Love Subnautica below zero, but this meme is funny. I’m currently playing through the game and falling in love with 4546B again 🙂
how to be instantly impopular here
Sorry 😦
just got stuck in the crystal caves for an hour
made it back to my home base in the twisty bridges with 3 power left
at least I have the engine thermal module for the prawn now
a beacon in the entrance helps
What does this mean I'm in creative btw
The seaglide map doesn't work when not in water
i just realized... i almost crushed my prawn yesterday, only cuz i didnt notice i did NOT place crush module... i tho it was only 400m
for a sec i thought there that smth corruputed in my save
Rock 😎
Ok can someone finally tell me who it looks like 😪
what is that?
A rock
Did you break it.
what was inside? i need to know please
We Don't even know if they broke it
i dont care. im insanely curious about whats inside
So what was inside the rock
maybe there was a rock inside the rock. who knows? he isnt responding
Or maybe air?
oh yeah thats smart. i like the way u think
what do u usually find in a rock anyway?
Looked it up and It only gives titanium gold silver and copper
oh. thats very disappointing, i expected something greater
Sadly yeah
You wouldnt believe even if i told you
Another rock
oh yes! i guessed it!
👏
nah just gold :c
Oof
just ruined my whole week
Lol
aint a rock technically gold tho?
genius
Well uhm er uh..brain.exe isn't responding..yes?
well, we know that gold is not a rock because it is a metal, but we dont know if the rock is gold because we havent discovered it yet
SCIENCE
i am convinced
smart 
teach us more
Oh pomi give us the wisdom that we seek
The tomato on a burger is in constant motion
incredible! absolutely remarcable! I now understand that which I was too blind to see. I am forever thanful to you and your infinite wisdom.
how do i get diamonds
go down
Are ion cubes not farmable bc I remember it is or I'm think of subnautica?
how do i make plastel glass
no offence but the background of the server is 💀
Has sub 2 stopped development
not that i know. why you think that
Just askin cause i don’t know either
If you mean Below Zero, for now it has. They are working on the new game called 'Subnautica 2' 😛
Wait wait wait there’s sub below 0 sub and sub 2 now I’m confused
And I mean sub below zero
You have the original Subnautica, then there's Below Zero and they are now working on a new game called "Subnautica 2" yes: https://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/an-update-about-the-next-subnautica/
Below Zero is the second game in the Subnautica series but the developers don't consider it to be "Subnautica 2" - despite that I think it is confusing 😛
Yeah me too also if you know anything are the devs expanding on stuff in the void for the next subnautica game?
I don't think they have given information about that.
There's a thread where you can ask questions about the game #1245099815285817474 , you could ask in there. Though there are definitely some others who asked similar questions 😛
Aww man
I’ve also got a question about whether my idea for a new enemy is good or not
I wouldn't really consider it a 'suggestions' channel I guess. They want to answer questions the community has about what has been shown so far and just general questions 🙂
Ok cool
There should be a suggestions channel
how do i find leviathans in this game i went like 3000 meters and havent found one
Go to the void
@eternal garnet i found the ||fabrication facility but i still dont have the organs or tissue||
im cooked
i still dont have artifact LF0 or the ||array module, marine life analyzer, material analysis station or mineral distillery||
Considering that the void in Subnautica and Below Zero is a boundary of the playable area, I don't see any reason to expand it. For the intended purpose (to keep the player in the map) area of nothingness except ever-spawning aggressive leviathans works just fine
Yeah idk I just thought that more void content would be cool and ik it’s just the playable boundary but it still has a lot of potential
If anything is added to void, it starts to work against the purpose of driving players out of there...
nvm i have lf0, i just found it before it got marked on my beacon
the point of the void is to keep the players within the map, by adding content to the void it encourages players to explore it rather than avoid it which just ruins the entire purpose of the void
Or make and entire free dlc that adds void content?
mods 🤩
I have an Xbox
too bad
Ik I don’t even have either of the subnautica games
is it true that early access will come until 2025 at the earliest?
There's no info on this
They have said there won't be an early access this year. So 2025 would be the earliest yeah, but they didn't confirm it.
can't wait
the first EA is typically not very playable, story wise
I mean from what I've seen the story won't really have an ending till very near end of development or 1.0
it'll lack a middle too possibly
Hopefully this time around the story doesn't get rewriten half way through, that had to have been really stressful
I wonder if more ||precursor|| lore.
I like our brain friend and want more knowledge on his wonderful species
Potentially however, ||the planet we see at the end didn't really look very water based, not really sure that's where we will be||
Yeah it seems ||Sky or very up high|| based
i have officially spent 24 hours on my below zero world
@eternal garnet am i missing something
i havent gotten the grapple arm or the repulsion canon tool thingy
ihavent gotten the very high capactiy oxegyn tank
and i only have 2 artifact scans left but i havent unlocked tissue or organs yet
do i need to do smth else for tissue and organs?
hmm
it appears i havent entirely explored the snow area
i thought i did
one of them is in the ||far north of|| the ice area
