not really. But it is what you want it to be
ok i think i thought of an measuring rule
if i run it over with an seatruck and it dies, it isn't an leviathan
Al-an plushie when
fan made, possibly the only existing
WHERE FROM 🥹
not difficult to learn sowing
Planting seeds?
sewing, sorry
cold
Bz doesn't have a coop mod?
You don't have to be rude at every turn
i wouldnt know because i dont have bz on steam
Could just say a simple, "it does have a mod"
the coop mod is in alpha, and is currently for donators only
Warning you. Be nice. Anyone can reply
->
Why is everyone so mean?
Whats your issue, I said what a shame to you showing off killing levis once and now you're just being rude
Grow up
🍿
which proves your point
What
Your "Are you 11" message
Bro you cannot be using that meme 😭
What is the point of behaving like this?
Rule 1. Go read it again
I'm asking the kid (you)
Did and done. Thank you, meatie
yay
And sorry everyone else
i was just watching the show tbh
Does anyone else hatch Pinnacarids and Penglings to place around your land bases?
I noticed Ice Worms don't attack them, neither do Stalkers
will i go insane at the ice worm place? also when do i have to go to the ice worm place?
When you fix the bridge
Only need to go there once, but I have a base in the middle of the last room. Full of Ice Worms, I love it
ok im guessing thats not after the the greenhouse
When you get the map in Delta, you can either go East or West, or home ig
whats phi again?
The place where Sam worked
I did summon a baby snow stalker with commands in my water base
Cute
I was kinda hoping my snow stalker ai wasn't gonna break
But I think inside bases is still considered underwater by games code
Because fish can swim through jt
Well I wanted a crystal caverns base lol
That snow stalker baby was 700 meters underground
Stalkers best mid sized predator ngl
Medium sized carnviore tier list
you can access tier maker? lucky
Maybe brute shark c
Brute sharks are basically weirdly shaped bone sharks
Ngl I don't like the cryptosuchus too much
i got the fab module finally!
It's a sand shark that screams like a reaper and can't dig
Yes but very smol
Are yuo going to post every edit?
#memes-and-media is probably the place for tier lists anyway
Two edits
bz is as good as sn1
All Stalkers being s tier
people who hate on it are just mad there isnt any reapers to kill
They hate the seatruck
Maybe
probably because its like the cyclops but better
yeah i said it
WHAT
gonna head to a ||body cache|| my plan before going is stacking the fab modules storage with boomerangs and bladderfish and stuff my inventory with salt just incase
salt seems unnecessary tbh
Wait how
Cyclops can have stuff built inside
well yeah
And faster also
but all you need can be made as additions for the seatruck
Those additions don't compare to cyclops
Docking doesn't charge, storage is far less, aquarium is decent
They impact speed so much
its smaller
Okay so seatruck with 3 modules and horsepower and afterburner is a bit faster
Once you get to 4 it's slower or just under cyclops
im running out of things to say because i said that without realising what the message said
Yeah cyclops destroys in storage
Only thing is 4 isn’t really well, necessary
Plus you can remove and replace them as you wish depending on how you want your trip to go
I’ve always hated the seatruck in all honesty, but the seamoth is too fast for Below Zero seeing as it’s a smaller map
You would traverse far too quickly through everything
Does bz have all vehicles same as normal Subnautica?
It only has the prawn in common with sn1
Is the base building same though?
But what I saw you have to scan everything, including like lockers?
You actually get more starting out than in sn1
You have to scan habitat builder, but that will give you some blueprints, for example battery charger
But for example window is not in default blueprints...
It's not?
Tbf I don't really notice because most starting scans can be found in the twisty bridges
And delta island...
I noticed that haha!
I'd say spoiler that
I forgor
Randomly got airdropped this in English class and we were meant to be doing poetry
it's true.. the cyclops was so much better. much better immersion overall in that game too IMO
that said, I've still enjoyed BZ
MY EYES
can someone let me know how to find spiral plant clippings, ive been looking for hours now and cant find any
two places: ||inside vent garden leviathans. Or, near the skeleton sampler artifact that's below the thruster wreck||
I think if you can get synthetic fibers || from the Mercury, || you could use a recyletron to get the clipping and grow your own
I used both of mine before I thought of it tho
thanks! i didnt even know you can get inside those things
i tried looking around previously but didnt find any, i got it now tho thanks
Sweet
Anyone having a issue with save files on xbox? I save my game and reload it a bit later and some of the work I did on my base dissappears and I have to do it again been happening everytime
Depending what you crafted with them, you could still use recyclotron...
I'm thinking about getting Below Zero next time it's on sale. I see it has some bad reviews, but they mostly seem to be just saying that it's not as good as Subnautica. How is the game itself though, not compared to subnautica?
it's fun and very beautiful
thanks! that's exactly what I needed lol
tbh I feel like people can sometimes be overly negative in steam reviews
All those negative comments were looking for ways it was worse than Subnautica. True subnautica is better in a lot of fields but below zero is still an incredible game.
Just don't watch any of those essay YouTube videos about why it sucks. Those don't help anyone.


I don't think it works with upgrades?
Recyclotron can uncraft most things, as long as it's a single item (for example reinforced dive suit has suit and gloves, so doesn't work) and the materials don't include living things (air bladder cannot be uncrafted)
I turned one into || Alan || and the other into a sea truck upgrade
Sea truck upgrade might work
I get it
!?!???
People were just mad they didn’t get a second Subnautica game
Below Zero in my personal opinion is very different from Subnautica
Excluding the whole stuck on a water world aspect
I see the idea


jest tu ktos z polski
english only, in all channels
how can I get the location 9 of the architect's artifact for the PDA, I haven't received any information from al-an for a very long time
just scan this
only scan whats on the floor
Do i need to actually use the snow fox for progression, i find it impossible to steer
no. But you do get used to it, just oversteer
also, it's a heat source. But prawn works too
dont they both attract ||the iceworms tho||
yes. The fox more so
so walking is better?
could be. If you go the eastern route, much less worms
im only in my first playthrough not rlly sure what the eastern route is
well, you keep east. Can do that from the bridge already
after crossing the bridge?
alr, problem is i live in the lilypads lol so ima need to equip my ||teleporter module||
that thing is not amazingly useful
it rlly confused me when that was the end of the world
its like 1.5km across
do u keep ur snow fox in a ||quantum locker||
its so handy
bit more than that, but the world is smaller. And denser
also is it possible to grow creepvine cluster or just the creepvine
o
thanks
side not do u find the 'First Sun - Die peacefully' song kinda creepy, like its always playing in my base but i only just actually listened to the lyrics
ha. The speech is cut content, but the voice is not
what do u mean?
have you met someone like that?
subnautica should def be multiplayer
put another way, do you have a quest to build a body?
so i can tell people to go behind aurora and see their live reaction
maybe next game. Likely, even
I don't know
eh
oh also, SN has a decent multiplayer mod. Buggy, but playable
what do u play subnautica on
just use nitrox mod
it's called Nitrox
download some
what were u saying before about the song?
so do you know ||Al-an?||
yep
lilypads
Joke aside, I have built 40+ bases
how many hours?
450h but that includes menu / idle
also on my expedition to the ice do u think i shouldnt bring ||storage module||, so my seatruck will be ||fabricator and teleporter||
yeah im at 22 hours and only 15 in my playthrough, first one
whatever you need. Speed starts dropping from #3, #4 with horsepower upgrade
yeah thats what i noticed its way too slow,
is it true that sea monkeys will try give u the resources for the items u have pinned
yes, 50% random, 50 from any pin
how mkany hours u got on first game?
steam says 255, I think it's more
about half of both is playtesting, where I don't play for pleasure
i havent finished it yet, im going to finish it with multiplayer mod w/ my friends
instead trying to break the game lol
so in creative?
Bz also offers custom game mode, which you can tailor to your liking
Would explain why my 5 is slower than molasses
Can i get to architect artifact q59 with crush depth 300
yes, but it's inside something larger
Wdym
spoilers, it's inside ||a mining facility||
Also is it accessable through the swirly dark depths
what?
Yknow the place with the squid sharks and below the place where architect gets downloaded
it's not, no
Oh
inside a new place
So ive been wasting my time
so this place, entrance is ||south-west of delta shore, not far, 100m away, 150m deep there's a door||
Bruh this annoying squidshark wont let me get this seatruck storage module fragment
Regular truck?
yes
Nah i dont wanna kill it, it adds to the ambience
I thought i finally scanned the storage module
It was the fabricator
get too close and they try to punch you. Can't really swim no
Are there any laviathans near them?
Btw its a green area at 300m (i think)
Also can i scan them safely
yes
delta sits in Thermal spires
Guys, need help to be sure
How many BIG vent gardens are there?
I wanna build inside one but I have to make sure I have the biggest one
Just 2
?
yes, 2
OK, found them both 👍
Where can i find lithium?
Also what is supposed to be in the pilot's last known location?
PDA lost her there. she continued down, toward ||NW||
Lithium: on top of purple vents biome, or deep twisty bridges, or thermal spires
Wait so her pda is there?
no your PDA lost her
So whats special abt that location?
it shows the way to her home
Everyone is beating the game and I'm still worried about Deep Twisty Bridges 😮💨
Iirc there are tons of O2 plants down there.
That's not my fear.
I go guess it's necessary
The species down there are terrifying
Not really dangerous but it's definitely a jumpscare
squiddies aside, there's a grabby plant. For that, just turn and seaglide away (not backwards)
I will say the loading screen music is more playful :D
Well I'm sure I did some stuff right down there (after muting the sound and playing a music list), I found a ||hydrothermal vent, some lithium, diamonds and two sea truck modules||. I'm sure there is more though. It seems to be a bit big down there and easy to get lost in.
not a lot more: ||One artifact, and gel sacks||
I got the ||gel sacks|| and I know you can put them on a grow bed, as for the ||artifact|| it's that the one that is lit up in green?
Like a symbol I can see after talking with ||Al-an||
no, There are more artifacts than the green beacons
Ok, I look. Thank you.
it's not important
do the ||iceworms|| detect me if im ||walking||
Yes.
how can I get the location 9 of the architect's artifact for the PDA, I haven't received any information from al-an for a very long time
i only played the original subnautica, is below zero worth it?
it's different, also same, it's fun. Yes
also quikc question, i heard about vent gardens, onl juveniles swim, cqan you enter the hole of an juvenile
ok that sounds dumb, i mean can you enter the juveniles ventgardems
no
oh
How do I get ||crystalline sulfur||
crashfish nests, or on delta island
also in purple vents
did it finish saving?
Yes
on PC?
Ps4
I lost my seaglide
How do I get ||habit builder||
Nvm got it
Then you havent seen me be savr master every time i enter new area in anny game i save nommater if is dangerous or no
spot the difference? @noble sage
you mean the || snow fox ||?
no
|| sea truck||?
for the truck, on the floor
the ||sea truck||???
of course, there is no other truck
well, i searched around and found no blueprint for the ||seatruck|| since i already have a ||sea truck||
is it in this ||room||?
yes. Also check inventory for a tube thing
a tube thing?
that's what it looks like. but look on the floor
well i dont think i found that and i think i found everything but that
could you please describe it use?
name is ||perimeter defense upgrade||
i already have that since i disabled ||the tower|| and visited the|| greenhouse ||
ok, sorry for the confusion
its fine
yea i already did that, i was just wondering if i needed to do anything else for her
and is this supposed to be empty?
😐
Need tech support, can't post in tech support channel. Steam guide for "sending log" says "ask the community first, might be faster". Ya, I get all this. I played Subnautica years ago and completed it - even mapped the surface level with dividers and a straight-edge, very proud of the result. Got Below Zero but never quite got into it. Now I want to try again - I have a PS4 controller, on Steam, and it does not work. You would think there would be something in the "official troubleshooting guide" but there is not.
Lots of search results, not much useful information, and I don't really relish the idea of changing drivers or slotting some SW in the middle, when it's obviously not required for my controller to work, since it's only Subnautica Below Zero that is failing to function for me.
(log attached just in case it has clues - note that I also sent this to the support e-mail)
playing below zero story for the furst time
who goes in a droppod that explodes then says “holy smokes that didnt go as planned”
😭
I have just beaten Below Zero I am going to ugly sob now
Do we even have a support email?
there's no one working with support, I would think
so, there's only this
and steam forums, and maybe reddit
Yeah I figured even if there was an old link, no one probably checks it😅
Lol
I found a big ship, what is it?
Pda should tell you
Send a pic and put it in spoilers
it's nearly always ||mercury II stern||
It was red
I explored a bit, but didn't find much
Am I meant to find more than one, scannable story thing? Forgot the name
3x parallell processing unit. A lot easier with a laser cutter. Still, there's only two in the wreck near delta
Only found one
There are a total of 6 ppu fragments in 3 separate wrecks. 3 fragments newd laser cutter, 3 don't (these are not all in the same wreck)
not me remembering that time i found the ||architect pillar thingys|| but didnt know what to do so i just went and got all the ||seatruck modules|| instead and made a whole ||portable base||
Guys I have a question,I have normal subnautica bought from Xbox on my pc so I can’t use the nitrox mod but can I buy below zero on steam can i still use the mod and play multiplayer just on below zero?,I feel this question is dumb
no, subnautica mods have to be adapted for BZ. Separate mods then. There's no nitrox for it, but there's a separate project. Not released yet
Do yall think I should buy below zero or normal subnautica on steam im split between the two
if you really want to use nitrox, then SN steam
for a new single player game, get BZ. On steam is my strong preference, but it's fine on xbox
I probably will near Black Friday when it’s cheap
steam sales don't care much about black friday. Just wishlist and let it email you
it's often on sale
I know it’s already on my wishlist
It’s become where black Friday sales begin the entire week before Thanksgiving lol
Retailers so desperate to make sales
Why are other seatruck things hard to find
theyre inside icebergs
yay found one ty
I need help with progression
I just ||Inserted the antidote into the Frozen leviathan,||
||I disabled the communication tower that marguerite asked, and went to all the places that Al-an asked me to go for his new body so far||
I'm not sure what to do or go now, besides going deeper.
Please, not direct instructions on where to go
I kinda just want a little push on what I'm supposted to do now
You won't get direct beacons for the two. Just hints. Also when you get near, he speaks
Although so far he's not giving me nothing
Huh.
Okay then
Thanks
only one is deep, the other reverse
They stop doing that with game progression
Do y’all recommend subzero?
Yes!
Definitely!
Absolutely!
Aren't they easy to outswim? I don't think I had one single one just take my stuff.
Can you attach a scanner room to a base or does it have to be on its own?
I can't find the ||pilots last known location, found a bit ship instead||
You can, but only from 2 sides
The beacon marker shows where your pda lost tracking of the pilot...maybe she went on cave which caused the loss of tracking?
guys i installed a mod that add a craft to the modification station but the issue is every other craft is removed ex. thermol knife any fix ?
sure, remove buggy mod. Possibly it broke in an update
Void chilerates could hunt down reefbacks
Maybe, but reefbacks seem to have the elephant style advantage
They are huge so even apex predators would have trouble hunting them, and also they dont have a super slow reproductive cycle, since we regularly see baby reefbacks
They also have gaspods I'm pretty sure
It's all about how much energy it takes to hunt said animal vs how much the predator gets back in return
And the reefbacks are likely primarily bone
🏴☠️
real
I don't think you will find anything in this server
I've been playing bz, I got to the ||pilots last known location|| and found the place, but it wasn't that useful, is there something I'm missing?
And, I found an ||artifact|| which I hadn't gotten anything related to
The pilot asks you to do something. There's also one very useful seatruck upgrade on the floor and couple of scans and pdas you can collect. Outside the base one databox and deeper caves.
I only found, bioreactor, unless I went to the wrong base
Is it meant to have a moon pool?
Isn't bioreactor in standard blueprints when you scan habitat builder? Yes, the base has moonpool
Then you probably found omega lab
I couldn't find the other one,
The pilot's base is a bit deep...follow the lights (hiveminds and light sticks) in the sea monkey caves
How deep
@hardy sigil , the Seatruck can't be docked in the moonpool with its modules. That's what the Seatruck Dock is for.
You get the blueprint from scanning a moonpool.
Seatruck Dock is pog! 
yea! but my problem is, i can't get the seatruck in the dock...
You sure?
why not? Do you maybe have truck modules made before game release?
@steel shoal yea! thats a big problem that drives me crazy
Are you driving into the tube?
Sorry, you mean the moonpool or the dock? They're different things
Is your save from 2022 or older?
Yea, I was going to ask that
yea i've left the game like 2 years ago, because i was stuck into the problem
mm hm.
so yes in think so, but i saved my game today
Disconnect all modules. Use the handle on top to test each into the tube
discard any storage that wont go in
I want to play subnautica again and beat it again. But thinking if I should get below zero and beat that one
storage module can't go in ?
the thing is weird: Pre-release (EA) storage will not fit.
possibly fabricator too. Test each
one at a time, with the handle, or on the truck
my sea truck has only storage modules...
easiest with the orange handle
the cockpit, with each storage module, once at a time ? right?
then they are all from EA. Discard, make new ones
exept the cockpit only when i drive it
possibly with a command, if you don't care about achievements
so you say that i probably need to craft new storage modules right ?
yes
more recent one
I know for a fact, storage modules made before may 14 2021, will not fit
not really, but hey. Most of the other modules fit even if old
no
you can collide with them to destroy
allright
i'll test that, love u meatie 😉 i just could not find the answer online or with chat gpt
I had this issue myself. I think storage and fab
ok, i'll be back in 5 minutes to tell if it has worked
Oops, I don’t have any lead at all
i'm gonna search...
i've another question, nowadays, is it possible to put a cyclops or a real submarine into the below zero game ? modding for example ?
Can’t add stuff from og Subnautica into BZ, not without the devs permission, and I’m gonna guess they’ve given perms for what they’ve wanted to allow in BZ (I don’t use mods, but that’s how it works afaik)
As to the other question, idk, you’d have to ask in the modding server
There’s a link in #subnautica-modding
@eternal garnetso yes, il fully worked thanks again meatie!
fabrication module si also bugged
right. Not all are, and certainly not new ones
i could save only one module the last for attaching the prawn
so it gave me the taste to play again and finish it
i'm gonna now destruct useless modules xD
maybe backing into things is most efficient
Prawn punches will get rid of unwanted modules, lol
Small problem here, I don't think there is a solution : my main base is built inside one of the two Vent Gardens (and it's beautiful btw), I introduced fishes into that ecosystem, it's a closed environment so they seem to stay there. I did it too fast and put some carnivore fishes in there (symbiotes and noot fishes), and now these carnivores spawn indefinitely, now matter how many I catch.
Somebody got an idea?...
sorry, thought this was the subnautica chat, bit weird how below zero is above the first game on the channel list? did someone move it by accident
No we placed it there for the release.
As it was the second game, and it's more recent.
Time to swap the channels and confuse Andy everyone in the server >:)
Wdym Thom?
I cant seem to find any definitive information on this, but do console commands/dev commands still disable achievements? I got about half/two thirds of them last time I played, but got them disabled for spawning some materials (fair enough). I was thinking of getting back into the game to unlock the rest hearing that they no longer do in the first game (unconfirmed? I already have them so I cant check for myself), but I cant find any info about Below Zero
Yes, they do
Iirc
Ok yeah just confirmed, they do
copy, thanks. I just didnt wanted to know before using them since I am trying to basically speed run to get the ones I missed, and didnt want to mess it up again and waste my time
so no commands this run it is!, thanks!
Np
Im not sure on this, but im also pretty sure you can only get them on the default mode, so hunger, o2, thirst and all
any command sets a cheat flag in that save. If you save, that is. It's never cleared,. but doesn't affect other saves.
If you install the mod loader (bepinex, PC), achievements will work anyway.
Oh cool the modloader doesnt disable achievements?
it re-enables them (without clearing the cheat flag)
so, you can install it later, and achievements will pour in
Cool, most steam mod loaders ive used disable achievements, so thats refreshing
I was trying to get all the achievements in both games before modding because of that
May be a good idea anyway
Eh thats normally what i do, ill probably do a couple more pts vanilla before doing new stuff, im just saying i wont go out of my way for achievements before i start modding now
Am i the only one who thought the squidshark was a glowwhale on the first encounter?
yes. Yes you are the only one!
Btw where can i find lithium?
deep twisty, or on top of purple vents, the dark patches, or thermal spires (around delta)
Which part of deep twisty?
The squidshark or the brute shark?
craft as normal once you scanned 3
and then one Test override unit
Yeah sorry, I meant after you scan 3 of them
Where can i find a spiral plant?
Then you can make a ToM
Not to be confused with Thom😂
- inside a ||vent garden||. 2) near the skeleton sampler artifact 3) recycle a found synthetic fiver.
The plant is white/red broom thing
clippings are plantable
Why are all the good stuff so hard to get
cause it's a videogame
Otherwise they aren’t proper rewards?
Since we know maida should be dead, khara kills most people pretty fast, i heard something about her eating a whole reaper being part of it, since they cant contract khara as far as we know
@ancient flower the in game explanation ||is that she floated across the dead zone in a reaper leviathan carcass however the game never explains why she didn't die to the Kharra||
Do we know the time gap between bz and s1?
2 years
steam page says 2
So the degasi crashes like ten years before s1
yes
correct
and mercury way before that. 20 to 90 years
So she would have had to survive it for what, 12-15 years? Most people died in days
It's a plot hole
We were just lucky
There's no satisfying answer to it
diseases typically don't kill everyone. that would limit spread
Maybe its just like how some humans have natural immunity, thats my personal guess
yes. that's the most useful theory
This disease is a planet wiper
I don't even understand why she's included in the game. She has no significance to the story, pretty sure the only thing she does is ||help Robin's sister blow up the frozen leviathan|| prior to the events of the game
Like i get strep all the time, but i cant remember the last time i had the flu
Ive also had covid 5 separate times 😭
Twice from co workers three times from taking care of my siblings
You'd think if you could have an immunity the precursors would've isolated that immunity within themselves, but since they went to a completely different planet it's pretty safe to say that it effects literally everyone
But anyways that actually probably doesnt work
Since she did show the sores didnt she?
Which indicates a stage (3?) infection
Genes that make you totally immune to something are incredibly rare
Like, one in billions rare
A whole species compared to 3 humans, which is more likely to have a total immunity
Doesnt matter which is more likely
Maybe the precursors are silicon based lifeforms? Maybe their entire genome is completely different, maybe the genes only appear in humans, maybe maida just got lucky
it's a noval bacteria, it would be highly unlikely any human would have immunity to it especially since the pda says it basically dodges the immune system
Too many factors to rule out someone having immunity, hell, for all we know, 25% of humans have natural immunity to kharra, just very few were ezposed
I don't think her having immunity is a suitable answer
There are gonna be holes in any and every answer tho
Since theres no intended answer
That's the point
She shouldn't exist no matter what
There isn't a suitable answer to why she does
Does reaper meat give immunity? Who knows, does the void have a natural antigen in it? Who knows
even if that works as an answer it's still a plot hole because there's nothing in the game to indicate that is the reason
I actually like the idea of there being something natural in the void, but idk how that would work with the precursors being so advanced, they very likely traveled there, even if the only reason was to see if theres anything there
And they’d hunt down any chance of a cure, since yknow
Thats like, the whole plot in s1
Any of these answers make 0 sense because the precursors would've found them
Either would be much easier than hatching the eggs
Id say they dont have the power to kill a reaper but thats just wrong
to be fair, below zero does establish the cure for the Kharra can just be crafted with a couple of plants
They have solar system level bombs
W h a t
The cure for a separate strain of kharaa
It has nothing to do with the one seen in sn1
when is it said to be a different strain?
Yeah different strains have different cures for any virus, its likely something like kharra 2
the fabricator breaks down things into molecules. Remember it can make seaglide out of a little metal
That's what the writers came up with when they realized this being weird
The hard part is knowing how to build molecules
Thats true, that could actually make sense
I don't think it's ever said in game that it's a different strain
Since bz takes place after s1, the enzyme would be discovered
Meaning it could be studied on a molecular level
.
@coral siren the wiki says nothing about it being a different strain, it's the same bacterium from subnautica 1
I got the inside source v.v
But besides that it behaves differently than sn1s kharaa
erm. I do not think it's a different strain
how so?
nobody gets infected in BZ. Same green pustules the one time you see it
I'm gonna say Ignis is wrong on this one, the entire point of it being frozen is because the Kharra has been killed off, so the only living strain is frozen in ice
A strain. Very small difference. Also a normal thing to do for a pandemic agent
that's an interesting detail to be included
Wrong on what?
It has to be explained as something slightly different or the lore breaks a bit as the main outbreak could've been cured by plants the precursor obviously had access to
The Kharra in below zero being a different strain to the one in subnautica
I don't think that claim is mine.
Bro got summoned
no nono . it's Not cured by plants. Fabricator completely breaks stuff down into molecules
angry retort!
Yeah
In no way is it "cured by plants"
And the precursors didn't have access to such technology...?
Yea i don't buy that for a second
Enzyme 42 is discovered after the ending of s1
@bold monolith your response to kiro's message
It was sarcasm.
It wasnt known before then. After s1 they had 2 years to find out how to recreate it, and had people in bases on 4546b
I dont think theyd send people there without attempting to recreate the cure first
You shouldn't be able to craft the antidote without the enzyme 42. But since you could be softlocked by losing it, Michael added a very random recipe. Then Kiro said something, and I said “exactly” in a sarcastic way because I don't think Michael had a reflected reasoning when he added it.
The emperor was releasing incomplete enzyme 42, they knew what it was
He just needed the player to be able to craft it, that's all.
That was my mistake sorry lol, I thought was genuine
This discussion is a bit silly. You take this video game too seriously. It's entertainment
And it's entertaining me to talk about this
hm fair enough
No i get thats not how the game works and it doesnt ruin my enjoyment, i just find it fun/entertaining to overthink any piece of fiction
dissecting the story of games is entertaining for me
overthink. Good word here
Like “are the cars from cars biological or mechanical, if theres a car pope that means theres a car jesus, theres a jeep in the story and jeeps were created for ww2, which means car ww2”
It's not that i think we'll come to some grand conclusion or the developer intent, i just like talking about a game i like
Yeah that
Its like game theory, obviously thats not the intention of most of the games they cover, its overthinking to a seemingly natural conclusion
Except I'm matt patt and I've gone insane
Michael isn't a writer, he is a lead level designer. Making sense to the story would have been the writer's job.
This is why we should be the writers
writing a video game seems like a pain since you have to take into account for all the game mechanics. I much prefer just writing for film
Lets write a silly answer like enzyme 42 naturally grows in plants but they were so focused on the ||sea emperor|| they never tried mixing those plants
Okay you make the subnautica movie and me and soup will write for the games
Dont call me soup 😭😭😭😭
lol
I mean you are what you eat
Thats what you think
The guardian of what
Whatever i need to
This has been my username forever
Like, i used it in third grade almost 20 years ago
Im 27 for reference
I'm 20 so I get to call you old
Dangit
I thought you were like 13
i'm really really old
I'm 18 so I get to call you old
Dangit..
90?
60
60's not too terribly old
Just terribly immature online because im forced to be mature irl
Gotta get it out somewhere
in a gaming community?
Over 20 is ancient for a gaming community
I can't judge, I'm not the beacon of maturity here
I'm about as chaotic neutral as I can be
I'm usually more mature online just because it's harder to get your intent across
same, im normal for actual convos
I must be fossil then...
Tbf i am too, how old are you tho lol
Ok, scrolled up and I'm younger than Meatie...
I would say that also sort of depends on the game, and the community
Thats fair, most wow players are over 25
<@&85343211593166848> just that whole profile
Sorry eeryone, keep going

Thanks Andy
Thank you for your service andy

Do other people hatch pengwings and release them around the base?
Stalkers and Ice Worms don't eat them, so they're safe
But hatched ones stay in the general area
They are semi aquatic
So they breathe air and live on land but hunt in water and spend a lot of their time there
I mean i thought they'd just leave underwater
I put a pengling in my aquarium days ago...
I mean theres probably some air near the top
Its just probably not happy
i just bought the frozen fishy
yes
i hope its gone be as fun as subnautica
I think it will. Just don't expect subnautica 2 and cyclops
Yo what do you call your seatruck
will subnautica 2 be within 4546?
I think so
Im pretty sure theyve said itll be on a different planet
i like the game but i find it hard to find out what to do next since no radio or any pda
k. Then priority one is to find a distress call, just south in the deeper area. *North = the volcano and the small moon. Make the compass (and the air bladder)
oki
you do get some guidance that way, but not to everything. Gotta explore all new areas (eventually)
You too eh?
It will be on a new planet confirmed.
"Not much is currently known about the game's setting, other than that it takes place sometime after the events of Below Zero on an unknown, new planet." - Subnautica wiki
Why isny my scanner room letting me scan for silver or copper?
Maybe there isn't any
i know for a fact thats not true both of those are a short prawn suit walk away and i have max scanner room range upgrades and also I just realized im in the below zero chat
whoopsies
Have you just reloaded a save? It takes some time (or swimming around) to load terrain and resources to show in the scanner room list
If you're not opposed to mods, there's a mod for original subnautica that causes the scanner room to load terrain resources itself as it scans so you don't have to swim around the area first for the scanner to pick up things nearby
Does it really do that?
This one specifically, I haven't tested it extensively but it seems to be an improvement https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/406
who whants to play and how to play whith somunae
The multi-player mod for Below Zero is not yet available
Wdym?
it's in a closed beta state
I see
and not finished enough to be much fun
Aw
Anyone know how to get the ||grapple arm||?
not certain, most likely lilypad monkey nests
Ohhh so under the big pads?
no, in the crevices around the huge floating rock which may have a secret inside it
You mean the one with ||Marge's base?||
no
center of lilypads biome, there's a big rock above a huge hole
Going off around this hole, are these crevices with monkey nests
Yeah isnt it held up by the big pads
probably
That's what I ment by under the big pads
I haven't looked why it floats. PDA says it's strange
Also it's insane how fast you go just by leaving the water diagonally
Like over 100mps
Bruh a spiked trap just pushed be out of bounds
Also do the fragments in them respawn
No.
I just crossed the draw bridge and now Idk what to do -_-
Bruhh that's dumb because there like all O2 tanks lmao
Do you mean the bridge you need to fix with hydraulic fluid? If yes, the 'voice in your head' should give you direction to head when you cross the bridge
I've understood that fragments in lilypad monkey nests are hand placed and always in same places in every game. So there will always be enough fragments for all the blueprints (and not many extras...)
I hope so because I've ran into like 6 O2 tanks and 4 grapple arms
I think I've never seen the same fragments in those monkey nests after completing a blueprint🤔
I have
Alot
Also I hate how finicky the control room is on disabiling small parts
I recently got the game, been playing for a few hours before work every day, and I genuinely started tweaking when I finally found the rebreather blueprint 😭
I stood up from my chair and quietly walked around the house with my arms up in the air (It was 2am and the whole house is asleep)
It would be funny if the seamonkeys could steal your sea truck lol
I mean it wouldn't
but it would
Also, why is this like this?
It's supposed to be like that. Follow the markers to scan a new tool
Oh! Thanks :)
Yeah found it, are there more of those you think?
That's actually really neat.
What does that symbol mean
Apparently it's a marker you are suppose to follow.
It's a disk from a nearby Pathfinder Tool fragment.
What are some TIL below zero tips on game mechanics? For example, having full water and food regens health. Anyone have a link to a list of these?
A few from my head
If you die with a beacon, it renames and drops
Monkey gifts are only 50% random. The rest are ||from your pins||
Truck speed starts dropping with module 3. But 4, if you have the horsepower upgrade
I didn’t know the truck goes slower with more modules
The air bladder was updated and is now great. You can also suck 10s of emergency air from it
Didn't a beacon always spawn when you died even when you didn't have one on you before?
not in subnautica
Flares burn in your hand even without throwing (unlike first game). They give little cold resistance and keep some creatures at distance
Weird
I thought I remembered duping a ton of beacons like it
Custom game mode is fun for repeated plays
dying doesn't create a beacon. You have to carry one. All the time, please
Maybe I'm thinking of sometime during beta
Or maybe I just carried one without realising it
Is this a normal look for the underwater vents? I thought it might have been a graphics issue with my settings, but everything seems fine. Is the black smoke just suppose to look this weirdly contrasted against everything?
its only an issue looking outside through the glass from inside the base.
yes, that's normal
slight bug with particles + fog
This issue is very common in both games
Also does the lootbin with the deposits work the same as subnautica?
Because I got 3 titanium in a row from limestone a second ago
the rocks all give 50% titanium, 50% something good
always the same good item from the same type rock
Uhh how do I get to the ||artifact by the ice worm area||
that's several. which
drop into the water under the bridge. Go up on the north side. Cave
Ohh okk lemme get on and try
Tho I hate how the markers don't go unless you swim into them as there's so many
the green markers you need to turn off yourself. maybe change color too
Nah for me they turn off when I swim into them
But can't be in a vehicle
turn them off anyway
On land or in water
it's on land
Is there a way to get unlimited||ion cubes||
Noooo so how do I ||ion cell everything and my seatruck teleport|| 
the truck doens't need 2x ion power cells. One is a massive difference
same with prawn
I got ocd so I gotta make it even
Also what happens if you got 2 ||teleport modules|| side by side same distance and teleport
this isn't intended, and game picks one consistently. The last crafted? Or the first. I forget
Also I'm guessing being able to go Mach 1 out of water in the prawn is a glitch
bit of a physics bug yes
Damn tho also why are the ||grapple arms|| so bad
I look in a direction and they like to go in a completely different direction
Also I just remembered
How do I make custom pictures
Eh it's okay
You'll get used to it
Oh practice in the mushroom biome if you know where that is, I'm sure you do though.
I used the trees and would grapple back and forth between them. It's fun!
You mean in the original sub?
Lmfao
Guys the server pfp changed. Could this be a clue?
There so good in the original just seem horrible in bz
Ugh
I haven't built the prawn yet
now I don't want to
Ok, I take your word for it
Just the grapple is weird when moving
Wanna know a tip when you get it?
Yes please!
||use the jets to go out the water and hold a side input and w to go diagonal and you go like 30m/s+||
The higher you go from the faster you can get
Looks like a halloween themed pfp...wouldn't take it as any clue for Subnautica 2
Officially beat subnautica below zero 
Totally not 6 am and I've been up all night doing it nooooo
i dont like this one
damn
Send help
Does any one think there should be holiday updates
Anybody got tips on where to find diagrams for seatruck?
is below zero worth it, im going to finish subnautica soon
it takes place after we escape 4546b?
I like how you can equip the health pack in the hot bar. It saved me yesterday after like 5 crash fish explosions.
Oh Monor your PFP is a crash fish! You like those then?
Oh that's a bag of Takis
That's funny
Speaks the truth, it's easily going to take me a month haha!
Incident?
Yea
I thought the ship would be safe
So went there in the first 5 minutes..........
ah the rescue
What if you disable the gun before they come?
Answer: ||Then there's a meteor storm and they refuse to land||
I thought the meteor storm was exclusive to BZ.
Not sure of the reason, but they refuse to land and go away
||They can't land because there's a debris field in the way||
oh that's it, yes
Which makes no sense since that's not a problem otherwise
perfectly valid game logic
You being able to beat the game before they arrive causes the debris field to become a bigger problem. Seems valid enough.
For gameplay purposes yea it has to happen
Though tbh, I would've liked to see a special ending if you went through the trouble
Meanwhile in Far Cry 6, in the intro you can just take the boat from fictional cuba to Florida
Game Over
In far cry 4 you can just pal up with
Pagan min
But kinda funny thing that in the end there is a debris field, for which you need the shield upgrade...but yeah, no debris preventing Sunbean 'normal' landing
Yea that is true lmao
Not that ship
I went to the big ship in the first 5 minutes
aurora
Yea, that
I am unable to download mod
What mod?
You're probably better off that way...
it is just remember to dampen your expectations a bit below zero is by no means subnautica 2 its more like a 1.5 a decent dlc that you fill you up if you are simply looking for more subnautica and the game is quite beautiful some things to look out for are that there were some questionable choices regarding things like world size story vehicles and leviathans but its still a pretty good game its by no means a bad game i dont think its better the the first game per say but its still quite a treat to play just as i said before though mediate your expectations a bit while its a pretty good game subnautica 2 its not however if you are just looking for more subnautica and to experience a new region of 4546b then i believe youll find your journey to be a blast
@plain crown
It's not a dlc
The slightly smaller map is a feature, as the story requires going back and forth. If it was big, it'd be really annoying.
Besides I like the map, less space allowed the biomes to feel more fleshed out
I feel like some of the transitions could have been better but oh well
I feel like table coral is a bit too rare in below zero. I wish it split into multiple pieces.
Ello chat
im lost in the place where the ||architect skeleton|| is found
this happened to me last time and my seatruck ran out of power
If BZ is a smaller game, How come BZ takes up 1.31 more gigabytes than SN1?
wait it does?
Yee...
