a hinge in between modules would be nice, maybe one every 2 modules

#

imo prawn in subzero is nerfed

#

doesn't feel as badass

#

and you lose jump jet thrust by moving forward which sucks

sterile violet
#

Oh no

#

There must be a bigger levithan that hunts down ice worms

civic furnace
sterile violet
#

It's like the reaper skeletons in sb1

#

Oh my god there's a || arctic dragon ||

#

Bro I compressed all my items

#

This is still not fitting on my seatruck

chrome cedar
#

Time for a yard sale.

sterile violet
chrome cedar
#

Only two? That’s like a bare minimum for me starting out.

sterile violet
#

I could add two extra lockers to prawn

true crane
#

where do i find moonpool fragments

steel stream
#

You don't: you can either scan a moonpool in ||marguerit's base|| or find databox in ||koppa mining site||. You will also unlock seatruck dock blueprint at the same time.

surreal flume
#

Sorry for taking so long to get back. The issue is still persisting.

bold monolith
#

The issue was fixed in DM.

kindred carbon
#

@coral siren in BZ we see PDAs without emergency mode

#

the reason why there no blueprints is that its XenoWorx and they haddnt gotten the new alterra PDAs yet after they bought most shares

#

and we have proof of it not beeing in emergency mode

coral siren
#

I think the real reason is that Robin was not prepared and was just in a rush to get onto the planet

kindred carbon
#

Robins PDA has basicly Mails and stuff from people

coral siren
#

It's also got infinite power

kindred carbon
coral siren
#

She didn't even have a habitat builder

#

Even ryley had that

kindred carbon
#

ryley also diddnt have one lol

#

he had to craft it

coral siren
#

That's what I mean

#

She doesn't have the blueprint for it

kindred carbon
#

well they diddnt buy the blueprint license from alterra

steel shoal
kindred carbon
#

but we dont know when that was send, might aswell have been a few days before

steel shoal
#

I think it was part of Alterra's purchase of the company

#

Would make sense to have a homogenous work culture in your company

kindred carbon
steel shoal
#

Oh, right

#

Other characters make it seem like Xenoworx is part of Alterra now

coral siren
#

Her mistrust ends up being kinda funny ||while alterra isn't a great company by any means, they aren't exactly doing anything shady||

kindred carbon
steel shoal
#

And ||they ended up letting Sam go out as a noble worker who got caught up in an accident||

kindred carbon
#

oh and Cal (the pilot in the beginning) says he casnt take Robin closer on ''Company Spacebucks'' suggesting hes also XenoWorx

coral siren
kindred carbon
#

guess how many Employees died in BZ

coral siren
#

Not that that's the full story but that's how it would be seen

steel shoal
coral siren
steel shoal
#

Boiled everything in the lab. If people were there...

#

There weren't, fortunately

coral siren
#

I like ||marg as a character, but I really hate how she basically manipulated Sam with conspiracy||

kindred carbon
#

People who died:
Frost Pack:
Dr. Samantha Ayou (Scientist, Robotics)
Parvan Ivanov (Security Specialist)
Jasmine (control room test volunteer)
unidentified volunteer

coral siren
#

Honestly seems weird because ||Sam comes off as a very level headed person||

steel shoal
#

Everyone from Mercury II

steel shoal
kindred carbon
#

oh and Mining Crew Delta
Lost a fifth of the crew to ice Worms
Lost Marcus to them who was skewered
and 6 more were emergency shuttled of the Planet

coral siren
kindred carbon
#

fun fact the Mining Crew PDA is the only still existing source of the Shuttles by alterra

#

they were in the old story but where cut (one was at Outpost 0)

#

back when Robin still started as an alterra employee on the Planet

coral siren
#

In the snow buried outpost?

kindred carbon
#

yes

#

in an older build you start in it and the 'Alterra Shuttle' as it says in game, is on the current empty landin gpad

#

and in the last built before everything in the story changed Jeff fly away in it while we see the base get buried

coral siren
#

I think my favorite variation of the story has Sam being your eye in the sky

kindred carbon
#

yeah thats that old story with jeff

#

back then the sattelite (Vesper) was a space station

coral siren
#

It starts the same as current build, but Sam drops you your pod

#

And talks to you off and on

kindred carbon
#

sam in the old story was personnel managment on Vesper

#

with a crew of 96 in Total onboard

#

now its a sattelite

#

theres still remnants of that old built

coral siren
#

A bit yeah

kindred carbon
#

like Delta station Docks teleport name is rocket

#

and one PDA found there still accidently call it rocket island lol

#

even tho they changed the rocket to a com tower

#

any more questions

steel shoal
#

the old Glacial Basin was weird

kindred carbon
#

@coral siren actually Robin had no blueprints at all

#

tzhey were downloaded when she makes the habitat builder

coral siren
#

She has fab blueprints

kindred carbon
#

nope

#

the pda says itself, it downloads them AFTER she crafts the builder

#

i checked what i scanned

#

and when you crafts or grab your first builder it says:
"PDA: Adding emergency shelter blueprints."

#

and it adds like Foundations, hatch, compartments (I, L, T, X), Vertical Connector, Ladder, Fabricator, Wall Locker, Sign and reinforcement

#

and if you scan the builder fragment it adds
Battery Charger, Bioreactor, Power Transmitter and Solar panel

coral siren
#

When I say fab blueprints, I meant blueprints you can use the fabricator for

#

Scanner tool for example

kindred carbon
#

well those are in the fabricator

#

its just that you need to be licensed to use them

coral siren
#

You use your pda in conjunction with the fabricator

#

Otherwise scanned items wouldn't be able to be built in it

kindred carbon
#

id assume the pda has the ID / license data that tell the fabricator that you bare allowed mto use the fabs

#

the fab does have to be what receives that info

#

its what blocks you from making weapons other then the knife

quartz dust
#

Nowhere near as good as the first game IMO, biomes and whether are nice but it’s not as, immersive, didn’t get the same feeling as I did playing the first game, feels off, prawn suit feels better in BZ, Sea Truck sucks. I don’t like that it’s impossible to have a mobile base without needing a built base. First game is better to me for that reason, and the Sea truck is just, bad. Other than that the game is ok, story is nice and the biomes are good. Lacks in the Levi dept bc none of them are scary tho.

quick sky
#

So I'm hearing it's possible to build inside the vent gardens?!

#

How many rooms could I fit in there you think?

eternal garnet
#

about one corridor or X

quick sky
#

Oh that's it...?

eternal garnet
#

try: observatory with hatch. So cute

quick sky
#

Even in the big one further south?

#

Cause I want to SLEEP there at the very least!

eternal garnet
#

there are two big ones

quick sky
#

I'll try! Can a bed fit into an observatory?

eternal garnet
#

I think so

slender zinc
#

hi there

onyx compass
#

i just made it out of joke XD

west mountain
lilac kestrel
#

Yea

#

Almost lol

chrome cedar
#

She shed.

#

Or They/Them Shed.

#

Probably more appropriate in this game since you're playing as a couple. LOL

exotic axle
#

Almost at the end of this game

steady cosmos

can anyone help me

civic furnace
steady cosmos

its hard to explain

eternal garnet

civic furnace
#

sorry I can’t help to I’m a egg right now

sterile violet
#

I'm gonna craft 3 storage modules

civic furnace
#

cool

#

I’m a egg

#

Can’t craft sadly

sterile violet
#

Bruh

#

I gotta compress all my items for it to fit on sea truck

civic furnace
#

what’s a sea truck I’m a egg I don’t know what that is

sterile violet
#

I'm gonna cut you open

#

So I get 72 storage per storage module

civic furnace
#

no please wait you can’t I’m in the tree safe from the humans kirbythumbsup

#

please Don’t kill the tree

sterile violet
#

Btw will prawn get damaged below its depth limit if it's docked on seatruck

sterile violet
sterile violet
#

Mmm so it doesn't

#

Like make another locker for prawn

#

I'm planning on having 5 multipurpose rooms

#

Bedroom, indoor garden, aquarium, workstation, reactor room and storage room

civic furnace
#

Sounds like a big base

sterile violet
#

I could save resources by just using a power cell charger in seatruck dock to charge prawn instead of moonpool

lilac kestrel
lilac kestrel
#

Hope it turns out good for ya!

sterile violet
#

Where should I go for loads of load and lithium

lilac kestrel
#

I can't remember ;-;

sterile violet
#

I'm gonna build my entire thing out of glass tubes and use windows

#

3-4 windows and 3 reinforcement

lilac kestrel
#

Well hope you get it finished and it has good hull strength!

sterile violet
#

It's in Crystal cave

#

I'm progressing far faster than in sb1

lilac kestrel
#

Ha

#

I wanna see it when it's done sounds like it would look nice

sterile violet
#

Btw will it be a good idea to route thermal power than purple vents to crystal Caves

lilac kestrel
#

I'll keep that in mind if I ever build somin there!

sterile violet
#

Purple vents might be hotter than crystal cave vents

#

= more power and I have the gold to spare

lilac kestrel
#

So you don't know?

sterile violet
#

No

#

That's why I'm asking

lilac kestrel
#

I would recommend going into creative and checking first before wasting more material's and time

sterile violet
#

Il check if the wiki has this info

lilac kestrel
#

You don't wanna end up wasting materials for nothing

sterile violet
#

Oh wait purple vents doesn't have themal vents

lilac kestrel
#

Oh

sterile violet
#

They have those fumaroles

lilac kestrel
#

;-;

sterile violet
#

It does get hot but it's on cooldown I belive

#

Like they eurupt

#

Oh wait some erupt continuously

lilac kestrel
#

So if you used them I'm gonna guess your base would randomly have power then just turn off

#

That would be very annoying

sterile violet
#

There are some that are always exploding

lilac kestrel
#

But does it give off more heat than the crystal cave ones?

#

I'm gonna get some sleep now tho hope your base turns out well!

sterile violet
#

Are furmoles hotter than thermal vents ?

steel stream
#

I think the purple vents fumaroles are not very good for thermal plants...

sterile violet
#

Oh

#

Il just use crystal caverns one

#

Wait what if I transmit a tree spires lava geyser?

eternal garnet
#

find a lava hole under delta

#

the spires are not hot enough either

sterile violet
#

I ment tree spires lava geyser

eternal garnet
#

k. basically the same place

sterile violet
#

Is it worth it to route

eternal garnet
#

I think so

sterile violet
#

Well I'm poor in magnite and kinda rich on gold so

#

I can place my thermal plants in the best area ever and route them

#

How close is the tree spires lava geyser to the crystal caverns

final crypt
#

So is there a specific way to move things along faster or do I js gotta sit around and wait for AL-AN to tell me where to go

eternal garnet
#

you are not meant to wait for him. Exploration drives this game. Especially explore around those green signals

sterile violet
#

Where to go for lead and lithium?

eternal garnet
#

lead: galena rocks, black, best scanned for in many biomes
lithium: deep twisty, on top of purple vents, thermal spires

sterile violet
#

Thermal spires..

eternal garnet
#

the biome delta sits in

sterile violet
#

Does that have galena?

eternal garnet
#

yes

sterile violet
#

Mmm

#

It's gonna be a struggle trying to transport loads of resources

#

I'm gonna add a extra storage module and a extra locker on prawn

#

So +96

sterile violet
#

Which plant should I use for biofuel

#

Actually I could do fishes

sterile violet
#

Bro 3 storage modules ain't fitting all my stuff😭

ember holly
#

make more >:3

halcyon verge
#

Lots more

#

Make a whole multipurpose room separate from your home base

#

And fill it

#

Rows upon rows of lockers

next current
#

Use a Large Room.

quick sky
# sterile violet Bedroom, indoor garden, aquarium, workstation, reactor room and storage room

For your workstation, my favourite combo is a large room with an alien containment in the center + 2 nuclear reactors on both sides. That's 3000 energy, alien containment makes a perfect decoration that uses most of the room (I hate empty looking spaces), but you still have more than enough space for your fabricator, desks, modification station, battery chargers, plants, etc...

#

That doesn't keep you from creating other buildings for bigger alien containments

#

And you can have your favourite fishes with you in your workstation

#

And nuclear reactors on both sides look really good

#

Even better, make your large room 2 floors so you can have a nice indoor garden just above your workstation (with an alien containment too, looks nice and you can grow tall plants like kelp)

zenith jacinth
#

is there any land flora that only take up one slot?

steel stream
zenith jacinth
steel shoal
#

Marblemelons too

steel stream
#

Seed yes, but melon no...at least the melons you can grow

steel stream
#

That's definitely 2x2

eternal garnet
#

pepper fruit are the most convenient to put in reactor, but they are 2x1

visual willow
#

Is there any way to kill the leviathan in the vent garden area? I want to build a base there but shes in the way

eternal garnet
#

You can kill the chelicerate, not the vent garden

echo trail
#

Ramming speed.

craggy mesa
eternal garnet
#

I just told you

craggy mesa
#

I know

#

but it's harder to kill a chelicerate than a reaper leviathan I think

visual willow
eternal garnet
#

oh it does

#

zap it to stop the attack if you need

visual willow
#

I havent unlocked a way to zap it yet

eternal garnet
#

charged zaps can also kill it, very slowly

echo trail
eternal garnet
#

been to the pilot? Go there if you have mk1 depth. It's on the floor

#

missable item

visual willow
#

I went to that location and when the marker disapears it goes down to where the cotton things are

eternal garnet
#

the beacon is not her base. PDA lost her there. Go deeper details:||to NW, target at 360m||

#

cotton things is the wrong direction. Important place though, called deep lilypads

visual willow
#

Wait is her base where its at?

eternal garnet
#

no, the PDA lost her part way to her base

#

oh the item. yes

#

not a scan either, ready to use

#

She won't mind, she has no truck

#

usage: short zap cancels an attack. Long zap is less useful, but does damage

sterile violet
sterile violet
#

Are sam and marguerit based

#

Bro I need gelsacks are they in tree spires?

eternal garnet
#

I feel probably, in the deeper parts

sterile violet
#

I'm 400 meters down

eternal garnet
#

in maida's home tunnel there's some. Technically lilypads

sterile violet
#

Mmm yeah I need to build a small base fast and gonna make a thermal plant for it

#

Why hate for bz?

nimble moss
#

Because people compare it to SN1

eternal garnet
#

even then, BZ is better at some things

sterile violet
#

Maybe

#

The recycling thing is pretty epic

eternal garnet
#

it's more beautiful. The story is actually better. Jukebox

sterile violet
eternal garnet
#

yes

sterile violet
#

Definitely more than fabricator caverns

#

Crystal caves though idk

eternal garnet
sterile violet
#

Where crystal caves

#

Ok the 5 module truck doesn't feel that bad

#

Maybe because bz map is smaller

last sigil
#

Why can't I enter the pilots sea base

steel stream
next current
# sterile violet Where crystal caves

If you've been to the ||Prawn Pilot's Base, there's a way down to it from there right next to it.|| Alternatively, you can access it from the Deep Purple Vents.

sterile violet
#

No I meant where's it is the beautiful images thing

#

What do void chilerates even eat

#

So I didn't realize lava geysers went through vehciles

#

Almost cooked myself

lean river
#

I like how I just randomly stopped yapping in this server for a while

#

Gave myself a break

slender zinc
#

or smaller fish that wander off into the void, possibly

sterile violet
#

Ye but chilerates aren't really built to eat those

sterile violet
#

Maybe venture out sometimes and drag in other creatures

#

They could drag in normal chilerates, squid sharks and glow whales

#

Also what killed the ice worm?

#

I think there might be a arctic dragon

#

The || sea dragon cousin might be a land dweller ||

#

Or semi aquatic like turtle or crocodile

slender zinc
#

Fred

sterile violet
sterile violet
#

So there probably isn't a arctic dragon?

lilac kestrel
#

0:

sterile violet
#

Maybe chilerates transition to void chilerates

lilac kestrel
sterile violet
#

They transition but their bodies get damaged in the process

#

That's why they do less damage and have shell rot

lilac kestrel
#

I'm loving these theories

slender zinc
sterile violet
#

It's not

lilac kestrel
#

What if it's on 4645B?

slender zinc
#

ah shucks😔

lilac kestrel
#

A similar planet?

sterile violet
#

No it's confirmed on diffrent planet I belive

slender zinc
#

same solar system?

sterile violet
#

Maybe

#

So unfortunately no returning wildlife

slender zinc
#

no pepper leviathan?

#

although its just a theory

lilac kestrel
#

Think about it

#

No returning wildlife but maybe similarly different ones

slender zinc
#

maybe we will get to see those damn purple biomechanical creatures

sterile violet
#

Should I use nuclear

slender zinc
#

wdym

sterile violet
#

Nuclear energy

slender zinc
#

ye its good

sterile violet
#

I noticed bz has WAY less drill usage than sb1

lilac kestrel
slender zinc
#

made from Alan's species, the Precursors

#

those annoying things that warped you from the first game

lilac kestrel
#

K

#

What if subnautica 2 takes place in

#

||Alan's home world?||

echo trail
#

Seems boring

#

Plus it didn't look aquatic

lilac kestrel
#

Ye but

#

Still there is a chance

#

Or the they will probably add another new character for that specific game like robin for below zero and Riley for subnautica (his name is Riley right?)

sterile violet
#

It seems like every game skips 10 years

#

So it would have been 20 years since the auroa incident

#

And the || sea emperor hatching ||

craggy mesa
# lilac kestrel ||Alan's home world?||

I would like to see a shark with double head on a same body (the color of the body would be red). And also the creature has 6 yellow eyes in total (3 per head)

lilac kestrel
#

Like a hydra but a hammer head shark?

craggy mesa
#

I don't really know how to describe it

#

with the same skin color as the chelicerate

lilac kestrel
#

K

#

That would be cool tbh

craggy mesa
#

they would have teeth, but they will have 2 bigger teeth at the right and at the left of their jaw (per head), once he die, you can collect his teeth

lilac kestrel
#

So rude!

sterile violet
#

Is there anything else magruit does after I go to her greenhouse

eternal garnet
#

you can now visit her home and go in the kitchen

steel stream
sterile violet
#

Wait what?

#

I thought it was 10 years

sterile violet
#

"You again HMMMMMMMM"

steel stream
#

10 years is about the time between Degasi crash and Aurora crash

sterile violet
#

Oh

eternal garnet
#

right

#

and much before that, Mercury II crashes

sterile violet
#

I thought magruit survived on the planet for 20 years lol

lilac kestrel
#

She would probably be crazy if she was there for over 20 years

eternal garnet
#

She probably is

sterile violet
lilac kestrel
#

Yes but crazier

sterile violet
#

12 years is still pretty cuddle

#

Was most of the time in sector zero

eternal garnet

I was crazy once

Are glow whales dangerous?

barren mural

Yes

worldly nebula
#

I can understand that PRAWN Suit hasn't space for building fabricator or other important modules inside, and it has small space for upgrades, only 6 (including arms), it's the minus of PRAWN Suit, but it's plus its mobile and it's arms mods are useful. What about Seatruck, it's less mobile than PRAWN Suit and slower but it can be small portative base and it's smaller than Cyclops it's plus. My opinion that they're good combo and they're same by rating in best, it's just in taste what you like more.

I think the lava geyser turned off a bit

#

I can't really check because my thermal plant is 600 meters away

stiff solstice
echo trail
#

It's actually pretty useful

sterile violet
#

My base is right above the crystal caverns cache

stiff solstice
sterile violet
#

I have died 20+ times to shadow

stiff solstice
#

Try building a bunch of I compartments to block it from getting to you

sterile violet
stiff solstice
#

Excuse me?

eternal garnet
#

if you kill it, it will not respawn

stiff solstice
#

True

sterile violet
#

He will stay here

stiff solstice
#

Killing leviathans is much harder in below zero, no stasis rifle

#

I mean, you can use prawn suit if you have one

sterile violet
#

Yeah I do

stiff solstice
#

Grapple and drill him to death

sterile violet
#

Huh day 114

#

Time flies

#

What time did you guys build your mega base

stiff solstice
#

What do you include as a mega base?

sterile violet
#

Idk like 4+ rooms

stiff solstice
#

Prob like my 40-50th day

#

I haven't played below zero in a while but I am replaying the og and I made a base out of 2 big rooms stacked on top of eachother, 2 moonpools, in the bottom big room I've devided it to sections and I have a room with a bioreactor

sterile violet
#

Mmm

#

Just got eaten while counting my rooms

stiff solstice
#

Oop

sterile violet
#

Okay 12 rooms

stiff solstice
#

Wow

#

Sizes?

sterile violet
#

8 multipurpose
1 moonpool
1 controll
1 scanner
1 seatruck dock

stiff solstice
#

Oh I have a scanner too, forgot

sterile violet
#

I'm running out of resources

#

Because every time I die I lose them

stiff solstice
#

Ohhhh, that sucks

sterile violet
#

For some reason my items only spawn on the ground after 5 minutes?

stiff solstice
#

Why are you using multipurpose rooms? Use big rooms

sterile violet
stiff solstice
#

Ah

sterile violet
#

Also those are expensive

stiff solstice
#

I have 2 XD

sterile violet
#

Large rooms need almost double the titanium and lithum

sterile violet
stiff solstice
#

I have one with 2 aquariums

sterile violet
#

Also in sb1 large rooms costed way more

#

Because ingots were double the cost

stiff solstice
#

Wait, really?

sterile violet
#

In sb1 titanium ingots were 10

#

In bz it's 5

stiff solstice
#

No way ohno

sterile violet
#

Il probably build a large room for living room and ac unit

#

My base is powered by a single thermal plant that's 600 meters away

stiff solstice
#

I have 2 ac units, they are larger in big rooms which is nice

sterile violet
#

Sb1 base

stiff solstice
#

One full of kharaa infected fish and the other for fish I like

stiff solstice
sterile violet
#

I should do the triple large room setup

#

What creatures can we get eggs of

stiff solstice
#

In BZ?

sterile violet
#

Ye

stiff solstice
#

I don't remember

#

There are less than in sub I think

#

You can get sea monkey eggs

stiff solstice
sterile violet
#

Mmm

#

Are their chilerates

stiff solstice
sterile violet
#

What small fish should I get?

stiff solstice
#

Hmmm, let me do bit of research

#

Ok, so, Arrow Rays from the lilly pad islands or tree spires

sterile violet
#

Yo there's red crystals

stiff solstice
#

Have you never been before?

sterile violet
#

I been here

stiff solstice
#

Ah, ok

sterile violet
#

I was planning a base here

stiff solstice
#

Maybe get some discus fish from the deep lilly pad caves or tree spires

#

Personally love arctic peepers

sterile violet
#

My thermal plant is in tree spires

#

Yall prefer fabricator or crystal caverns

stiff solstice
#

And you can also try and get spinner fish from Arctic Kelp Caves,
Deep Lilypads Cave,
Lilypad Islands or
Lilypads Crevice

stiff solstice
#

The fabricator caverns are just a maze of death

sterile violet
#

Ye and the ambience and opulence isn't their

stiff solstice
#

Nu

sterile violet
#

What

stiff solstice
#

The ambience and opulence is indeed not there

#

But it is in the crystal caverns

#

Also that place is a lot more scary

#

The crystal caverns that is

#

Great atmosphere

sterile violet
#

My base is about 400 meters away

sterile violet
stiff solstice
#

The crystal caverns

#

Are scarier imo

sterile violet
#

Mm idk

stiff solstice
#

It's a lot darker

#

In the fabricator caverns you can actually like... see

sterile violet
#

The kinda green water of the fabricator vs deep blue of crystal

stiff solstice
#

Ofc when you see you see this ugly thing

#

Oh

#

Gifs aren't allowed

#

Bruh xd

sterile violet
#

Yeah

stiff solstice
#

You see that ugly thing

#

It's design is actually amazing

#

But it's still aweful looking

#

A face only a mother can love

#

And even she is half blind

eternal garnet
#

more like, a face missing

stiff solstice
#

Ye

jovial stone
#

Ngl i wish the ||Shadow Leviathan|| has a lingering poison like effect cuz it's PDA entry mentions it has a really acidic mouth that breaks down prey, so if it eats your vehicle there could be a bit of a poison effect like the hanging tentacles, would've made the creature more threatening

#

Thank you for listening my ted talk lol

stiff solstice
#

That sounds cool

jovial stone
#

I'd be way more threatened by the thing rather me going like "get off me..."

#

The Seatruck tazer do be OP ngl

sterile violet
sterile violet
stiff solstice
stiff solstice
sterile violet
#

It's kinda a proto mouth ig

#

It's basically just slit in it's body

jovial stone
#

🦐

#

I dont really know lol

Shrimp

sterile violet
#

Wouldn't shadow levithans acid be spilling out

jovial stone
#

Dont think it shows in game but it does in its PDA entry

sterile violet
#

I have his pda

#

Il read it

#

Me watching the shrimp try to eat me through the vent garden

sterile violet
#

I guess it does have a mouth

sterile violet
#

It brings some into the mouth

jovial stone
#

So its digesting you right then and there? That is if you're below 80HP of course

sterile violet
#

So oddly for smaller lifeforms the shadow levithan kinda hunts like a carnivorous plant

sterile violet
#

I think the mouth acid is used to partly digust the prey like our saliva does and also to incapacite it

jovial stone
#

If i ever see a Shadow Leviathan crawl on the sea floor like a Crabsquid, i'm blowing up 4546B

sterile violet
#

Acid could cause prey to become unconscious, die or become crippled

#

And than it brings it into its stomach

sterile violet
jovial stone
#

This is alien acid we're talking, who knows how corrosive it's acids are

sterile violet
#

You think it's related to ghost

jovial stone
#

I mean, Shadow and Ghosts are relatively far apart in terms of family, then again Stalkers and Snow stalkers are a thing, could be a Convergent Evolution thing

sterile violet
#

Idk they seem related

#

Ngl would it have made sense for shadow to be in void levithans

jovial stone
#

Imagine being in the void, seeing but pitch black and a giant blue mouth rushes towards you

#

Ngl i feel like the Shadow Leviathan should be like Adult Ghost size if it werent for the Crystal Caves being cramped

#

hey y'all, bit of a question I had. so I've found 3 prawn suit fragments from the Q59 Architect Artifact. don't spoiler me, but can you tell me which part to explore? (only the biome, not the structure nor building.)

eternal garnet
sterile violet
#

Maybe I should have built a base their lol

#

Can I build snowfox in water?

eternal garnet
#

no

edgy turret
#

oh damn what

#

I must've missed it

sterile violet
#

Isn't it like a hoverbike

Is it faster than seaglide

#

The void is unironically a good place to build

stiff solstice
#

And I'm back

don't let him live 😂

sterile violet

you can't say stuff like that even as a joke

jolly nebula
#

How much power does my base need?

#

I dont have an really big machines or anything

#

Maybe one water thingy

bold monolith
#

Not much then. If you want to know use a control room.

eternal garnet
#

3-4 solar panels

jolly nebula
#

Oh

#

I went really overkill

#

Anyway

#

What is the best food to farm?

#

I dont like having to eat chips every time

bold monolith
#

It depends on your progress.

#

There is an overpowered recipe you get at some point.

#

You should plant its ingredients.

jolly nebula
#

I dont have alan yet, but im decently far

bold monolith
#

Yes.

sterile violet
#

I have a load of uranium but barley any lead

#

I'm probably gonna tear down my mini base and make a few more thermal plants routed to my main base

#

I only have one thermal plant in tree spires powering my crystal caverns base

chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

Where you get it?

#

I need loads of glass also

chrome cedar
#

Twisty bridges, around Delta, lillypad areas. Make a scanner room and search for the galena outcrops.

#

You can also pin recipes with lead and you might get some presents.

chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

It's in crystal caverns

#

I have a drill arm also

chrome cedar
#

Make more for those other areas. I put several in important areas when I'm hunting resouces. Drill arm won't help for lead, there isn't any large outcrop.

sterile violet
#

Doesn't crystal caverns have a lot of resources

chrome cedar
#

Not much lead there. Titanium, magnetite, lithium, and quartz are the main things. Kyanite.

sterile violet
#

Mmm I need those also

sterile violet
#

Is 3 thermal plants at a lava geyser and 1 nuclear enough

chrome cedar
#

Delete the nuclear and yes.

sterile violet
chrome cedar
#

You asked if it was enough. Three thermal is almost always plenty.

#

Unless you're sitting in your base all day long pulling water out of 4 filtration machines and charging a bunch of empty powercells.

#

Also nuclear is a part of your base, so after you reload a save that will be your primary source, and the thermals will never be touched until the nuclear is depleted. Unless you somehow have the thermals directly attached to the base without using a power transmitter, but even then it's random on if any of those would be the primary source on a reload.

sterile violet
#

What happens if I attach a solar farm to the transmittion chain

limpid aurora
#

Hi everyone

I apologise in advance as this question has probably been asked a hundred times already.
I'm in a playthrough of Below Zero. At some point, a sea monkey got in my seatruck, and was preventing from getting out. I tried the "unstuck" option from the menu, which indeed got me out of the seatruck... But the sea monkey was still inside, and preventing me from getting in.
I looked online for solutions, and someone on reddit suggested using the entreset command. After pushing on the seatruck and using the command, I finally got the monkey out.
It's now many many hours later, and I realize that I haven't got an achievement for a while. That's when I read online that using a console command permanently disables achievements for the save.

I'm very sad right now, because I've played a long while and really don't want to restart my game. I'm also frustrated that there wasn't at least a warning before executing the command stating that achievements would be disabled.

The only command I executed was because of a glitch, I did not and still do not intend on cheating. Are my achievements really absolutely trashed, or is there a way to bypass this? Would using Steam Achievements Manager to unlock only the achievements I should have unlocked be a problem regarding TOS or something like this? Is there a risk of getting any kind of ban doing this?

Thank you for your time

sterile violet
#

Should have shoved the sea monkey into a module and disconnected it

#

Or docked the sea truck

limpid aurora
#

i didn't have any modules at the time 😅

#

nor a docking station

sterile violet
#

You decided to use commands before getting a module?

limpid aurora
#

it was early in the game, i had not unlocked any module

#

i was just trying to get in my seatruck

#

and i couldn't anticipate that I had to go unlock, build and attach a module just to get a seamonkey out of my vehicle

#

i tried to fix a glitch with the first way i found, i had no idea it would permalock my save

sterile violet
#

Just use the manager ig

eternal garnet
#

The things you should have done, save often, and load a save after that unstuck try

sterile violet
#

Do seatruck upgrades work on seamoth

eternal garnet
#

no. but the seamoth upgrades are still ingame

sterile violet
#

Oh?

eternal garnet
#

even sonar...

sterile violet
#

I might use commands to spawn a sesmoth in

#

And the upgrades

eternal garnet
#

it will not go in the moon pool

sterile violet
#

Can it dock to seatruck dock module

sterile violet
#

I can just use a power cell charger

limpid aurora
eternal garnet
#

no. remove cells or make new cells

limpid aurora
#

(yes, i'm on pc)

sterile violet
#

Why

#

Remove cell charge and put back in

eternal garnet
sterile violet
#

Btw statis is also in?

#

Dude that's gonna be nice while building

#

Because of shadow levithan

eternal garnet
#

yes., but doesn't work on everything (worms)

sterile violet
#

What about shadow

eternal garnet
#

I think that works

chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

Bro I should I done this way earlier so I didn't die 20 times to Shadow

sterile violet
eternal garnet
#

repeating, commands disable achievements/trophies

sterile violet
chrome cedar
#

That’s still fine. Just saying that anything directly on your base gets used first,

sterile violet
#

20 solar panels and 3 thermal

#

I could make 6 thermal

#

Should be 2250 power

limpid aurora
sterile violet
#

Isn't seamoth very speedy

eternal garnet
#

it is if you press W+A+space and go diagonal

sterile violet
eternal garnet
#

depends on your prawn skill. With grapple it can be silly fast, at least on land

sterile violet
#

Seamoth could be really good in this game

chrome cedar
#

A base will draw power from only one source at a time. During a save, the first power source created for a base is drawn from first, if you make another source (second solar panel, etc), that source is drawn from after the first is depleted, then the third source, etc, as long as the more primary sources are at zero. If the sun comes up and you have three solar panels, the first panel will kick in and be primary as long as it has power as long as it can keep up.

#

There is a point where a base may be drawing more power than a single source can keep up with, but if that source is still generating power and still falls to zero, the base will begin alternating between two sources, until that second source falls to zero, then you may end up alternating between three sources, and so on…

#

Each type of power produces at a given rate. Solar is tricky as it is less efficient the deeper it is, everything else produces at a set rate. Power demand at the base is for everything using power, chargers, dock/moonpool, scanner room, filtration machines, lights, fabricator, etc.

#

I mentioned earlier the order of power sources, all that is out the window after you save and reload. Directly attached sources are loaded in a random order so you don’t know what might be first. One reload it might be solar, the next a bio reactor, the next your nuclear. Anything with a power transmitters will take a few moments for that line to the base to be established, so those will load in last and be drawn from last.

#

I’ve found that three thermal reactors on a nice hotspot will almost never go completely to zero for available base power. You’d need to be using a LOT of power in the base for an extended period to drain all three.

gusty yarrow
#

I might bz, is it easier?

chrome cedar
#

There is definitely something attractive by having a large number for your available base power, but the reality is that after a time the number is meaningless.

chrome cedar
gusty yarrow
#

More story?

#

Story based?

chrome cedar
gusty yarrow
#

||AL-An?||

chrome cedar
#

Original game still had a story, but you are alone and there’s not much dialog with others.

chrome cedar
gusty yarrow
#

Also, heat?

chrome cedar
#

Both games have many pda entries with dialog to go through, and your PDA talks a fair bit when you discover new things.

chrome cedar
gusty yarrow
#

Like tempature

chrome cedar
gusty yarrow
#

A lot?

chrome cedar
#

In BZ you can freeze, in both games you can be burned.

gusty yarrow
#

Also does bz have prawn?

chrome cedar
chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

I'm gonna connect it to my trasmitter chain

#

I already have one from tree spire to Crystal

chrome cedar
#

Put enough transmitters in there and you can go as far as you like. Circle the whole map if you want.

#

LoL

chrome cedar
#

Always producing limitless power.

sterile violet
#

Mmm

#

How many water filtering machines should i run

chrome cedar
#

As many as you need. Usually one is plenty, I just pick up bottles as I’m leaving then it uses power while I’m gone, and usually two new bottles when I’m back. Most food gives some water and I use the local plants when I’m out. Also grow many things in bases, even small outposts will have a small garden for nutrition while I’m away.

#

Most of my runs after the first few times I don’t even use fish for anything, not even bio fuel.

sterile violet
low phoenix
#

I want a powerful salad in SN like BZ does.

chrome cedar
low phoenix

Idk why that's a subnautica emoji.

chrome cedar

#

Actually marble gives more food and water than bulbo. Though bulbo has lots of uses per plant.

chrome cedar
#

Marbles grow pretty fast though. Eat three, knife one, plant more.

#

I eat them in BZ sometimes, but not often.

#

Pity the ||Bulbo|| in BZ isn’t something you could get seeds from.

sterile violet
chrome cedar

#

Salad is just so op though

#

It's also not that hard to grow

#

Preston's plants are ridiculous easy to plant

sterile violet
chrome cedar
#

Generally I’ll only use it for a scanner outpost while I’m needing to scan for resources or fragments.

sterile violet
#

Wait actually no scanners need a load of power yeah?

#

@chrome cedar do you use floura or fauna to fuel it

#

How much do gel sack give?

chrome cedar
#

Can’t recall, but wiki has a table of the fuel value of most things.

sterile violet
#

Powers by base with bio /s

chrome cedar
#

But four gel is far better than a single lantern fruit and takes up the same space in the reactor.

sterile violet
#

Nah I think thermal plants would be fine

#

Especially since their at a lava geyser

chrome cedar
#

Main base definitely thermal. But a scanner outpost only needs to run while you’re in the area scanning. Fire it up when you need it once you plant a convenient crop there.

steel stream
#

Peppers would be better than lantern fruit both as biofuel and snacks

chrome cedar
#

I’ll keep a seatruck storage module stocked with everything for a scanner room plus bio. Plus some fuel for it. Disassemble when I’m done and move to a new spot.

Is it possible to make a levithan containment facility in surival

#

Wait so shadow levithans always stay on the same path yewh?

pallid compass
#

I think all leviathans are Like that

#

But im not sure

sterile violet
#

Was it a bad idea building right in a shadows patrol path

steel shoal
#

I have a base there too, it's great

sterile violet
steel shoal
#

No, it's under the first leviathan's path

sterile violet
#

Is 92 degree good for thermal plant

eternal garnet
#

yes

#

If the display is green, that is max power

sterile violet
#

Does crystal caverns have lava geysers

eternal garnet
#

no. I remember you asking this

sterile violet
#

Also my base lights something flicker

stoic surge
sterile violet
stoic surge
sterile violet
#

No I already built my base

#

And already routed one thermal plant to inner crystal caverns

chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

What

#

Single thermal plant and under 250 power it just starts flicking

stoic surge
#

I have had lights flicker when charging my Seatruck, when it has 2 ion power cells in

sterile violet
#

Oh wait it's because my prawn with 2 ion

stoic surge
#

Like, the large power draw causes it -- maybe

sterile violet
#

It shouldn't happen with 3 now

#

Ngl I could probably find enough magnite to make 5

chrome cedar
#

Something with the power draw, definitely. Not sure of the specifics.

sterile violet
#

I will be charging my prawn and seatruck

#

So 4 ion

sterile violet
#

Glow whales as vehicles?

sterile violet
#

What should I do with all these uranium crystals

chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

Ngl I have most of base on power off

rocky niche
#

Best way to scan a chelicerate?

#

I had to do it the hard way :<

sterile violet
#

Oh my lord this interior

sterile violet
#

That's what I did with shadow

rocky niche
#

But sometimes it runs away and then I gotta chase it but it pulls a 180 and bites my bum

sterile violet
#

I think there's also something else you could do
I know shadow levithan will sometimes still stay attacking a prawn suit if you exit fast enough

#

Maybe the shrimp works like that also

#

And you have a bit to scan him while he's chewing on your prawn

rocky niche
#

I'm not that far into the game yet ;-;

sterile violet
#

@rocky niche you could also just scan the void ones

#

They do less damage

rocky niche
#

O rly? That's good to know

sterile violet
#

Because a second one will spawn

@chrome cedar

#

Wait a minute

#

Don't creepvines cluster float

chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

DUDE, shadow levithan literally ripped my prawn out of it's moonpool

sterile violet
chrome cedar
sterile violet
#

I thought levithans didn't do this?

chrome cedar
#

Maybe they only fixed it for the fabricator caves?

sterile violet
#

Ok I think I have a idea

#

Why

#

So the shadow was spamming attacks to eat my player and he was near my prawn

chrome cedar
#

Because you can’t take it inside and folks were losing theirs.

sterile violet
#

So I think the attack was ment for me but prawn was so close the prawn got grabbed

chrome cedar
#

When I build there I usually put a foundation down and park the prawn under that, then they can’t reach it.

sterile violet
#

Yeah so it wasn't meaning to go after prawn

#

Also it did 60% damage to prawn

chrome cedar
