below-zero-chat

[severe grove]

Ye but like you see what i mean tho

[coral siren]

Personally I'm really into the design, but it's subjective

[severe grove]

I feel like im crazy for thinking these are way better

[severe grove]

Its a good desgin itself but like i dont think it fits subnautica and the precursors in general

[severe grove]

I would much more expect them to look like these

[coral siren]

2nd and 4th would be my picks for alternatives

[severe grove]

Same

||well is the body we build what they actually looked like or just an efficient host body?||

||what did there original bodys look like?||

[gaunt fiber]

I would love to see this in the game

[severe grove]

Same

Also why tf they change the name?

Precursors sounds cooler

[gaunt fiber]

I think I would like to see on land creature

[severe grove]

I refuse to call them the architects

[gaunt fiber]

Not like too much but just some

[coral siren]

||Well they as a species are now a race of synthetic biomechanical organism, I'd say it stands to reason that there were various iterations of their body and maybe even some that were made after al-an infected 4546b through negligence||

[severe grove]

Kitewings were a pretty neat idea

[gaunt fiber]

Kitewings?

Sorry I am new

[severe grove]

They were big scary birds cut from bz

I fallowed bzs development intently over the years

From beginning to near end as towards the end i lost interest due to most of my favorite things getting cut

[vital nimbus]

||I was always under the impression that the original evolved forms of their bodies had been long lost to time. And societally would have filled a similar philosophy to “trans-humanism”- or having a form which supersedes the original genetics.||

[severe grove]

cough old story was better new story stinky cough

[vital nimbus]

I still like it :)

[severe grove]

Its ok

Better than nothing lol

Game could have been canceled

Im happy it still exists

[coral siren]

||unfortunately we don't know what their original forms looked like or if the new form reassembles it in any way||

[vital nimbus]

The game has mod support too so I’m sure eventually if not already the things you want in the game will be there

[severe grove]

||prob something like the concept art||

[coral siren]

I think the old story was not great except a few things, sam being alive mainly

[severe grove]

Yes

I want my fart caves back

Methane ice caves peak

[vital nimbus]

||I want to err on it being no- considering Al-An was super ready to just become a cube for a while lol||

[glad dagger]

why does a 5 year old game need spoilers

[vital nimbus]

Sorry I just wanted to remain respectful

[severe grove]

I still havent played bz lol

I want to tho just haven't got around to buying it

[severe grove]

Speaking of which how far did the ice dragon get?

[coral siren]

I don't think that was willing

[severe grove]

Ik it was modeled and textured

Was it ever coded?

[coral siren]

Idk, i wish we got the arctic reaper and arctic hoverfish tho

[severe grove]

There was an artic hover fish?

Was that that weird fan model thing?

That was gona be put in

[vital nimbus]

||Hmm well I mean, willing enough for him to see it as a viable option against death. I think a lot of things would rather choose to die than be indefinite cube, so he must have seen some worth in staying that way for a while.||

[coral siren]

It was a concept art done on the side by one of the devs that never got used

[severe grove]

||i remember this one line from that part that made me cringe bc of how on the nose and kinda goofy it was||

||"why dose it sound like your inside my hesd, omg you are in my head" like come on man lol thats like as on the nose as it gets||

[vital nimbus]

It seems like you really don’t like the game 😅

[severe grove]

I can neither confirm nore deny

All i can say is im really passionate about it and got let down

But its not a bad game by any means

It just despointed me personally

*disappointed

[coral siren]

||I always imagined that al-an was imprisoned there for his crime, being why it's just him there while the other precursors are stored in the crater||

[prisma prism]

But what about ||Al-An?||

[vital nimbus]

||bro got the Minecraft life sentence fr 😔||

[coral siren]

I just realized there's a sanctuary cache in the dunes at a spot where a meteorite impacted

[prisma prism]

||I expect The Architects to look more copper coloured like in one of the concept art||

[severe grove]

Do any of you remember that weird ahh worm thing that was cut from the first game

[coral siren]

No?
Elaborate

[prisma prism]

W o r m

[severe grove]

It was olny in game as a model in the model gallery in the old versions

I'll find a pic hold on

[prisma prism]

Model gallery?!

[severe grove]

Imagine not being a subnautica veteran

Im not actually a subnautica veteran but i know alot about its development

[prisma prism]

I literally haven’t played it since BZ came out

I wouldn’t call that a worm tho

[coral siren]

Is that the "far lands"

[severe grove]

I used to watch the old think noodles subnautica series

[severe grove]

Im talking about the first game

[severe grove]

I couldn't play it tho bc i never had a pc as a kid

[prisma prism]

I know, I haven’t played subnautica 1 since BZ came out 😭

[coral siren]

Just use one of the beta code

[severe grove]

And when i got a Playstation 4 i still couldn't bc Playstation sucks and dosent like indie games

[coral siren]

Earliest access is available to all steam users

[severe grove]

Ik

[severe grove]

Well like i think i knew

I heard that before from aci

(Sorry i have ocd it makes me over explain stuff)

[steel shoal]

#subnautica-chat is just sitting there...

[deep gazelle]

omg wrong chat

sigh

[coral siren]

While you're here Andy, you have a pretty good grasp on the lore, do you think this holds up at all?

[steel shoal]

There's people trying the game for the first time today, and likely more people will do so tomorrow. It's a courtesy to these new players, we avoid spoiling their experience when they come ask for guidance/bug fixes by spoiler tagging late game/story related stuff. You're not obligated to, but we appreciate it if you do 🫶

[glad dagger]

ohhhh okay

sorry i was just confused because i thought games follow the movie rule

[steel shoal]

We also have another rule, in #subnautica-chat, no BZ is allowed (even when spoiler tagged). Comparisons/discussions about both games happen here only. This is because while many BZ players have played SN, the opposite is not true.

[keen dagger]

I do as I'm not

[severe grove]

Cool

[prisma prism]

I love the seatruck for its utility but I can’t drive it in a straight line without it hitting the tiniest object

[obsidian bough]

||Is it bad that I've kinda developed a crush on Al-An? xD I have legit fallen in love with this character and hope that he gets a happy ending. I will be heartbroken for him if he's truly the last of his people.. I want a giant poster of him and I wanna put it on my wall. Bonus points if it's a holographic poster ||

[obsidian bough]

I swear on every public post, I am defending the HELL out of SN: Below Zero. People are serious haters and it frustrates me.

[proven trout]

Below Zero is widely hated amongst the Subnautica community because it isn’t exactly the same as Subnautica. Yet I doubt many of them have actually played the game considering how positive the steam reviews are

[obsidian bough]

I think both games are beautiful TOGETHER

each contribute signifance to a mysterious and epic world and story

[proven trout]

I’ve always liked Subnautica more but that’s mainly just because of content. My first BZ was a blast though

[vital nimbus]

I played BZ and enjoyed it very much. My main enjoyment from the subnautica series has always been exploring the environment and life that lives within. It’s why I prefer creative mode.

[proven trout]

Might do a hardcore playthrough once i do the rest of these achievements

[obsidian bough]

I want Subnautica to be successful, so I'm going to focus on ALL the things I love about it instead of just being a damned hater like all these nit-picky dudebros... :/ I dont want the game to do bad...

[proven trout]

Kinda beat the game using bugs so it might be a lil bit more difficult

[obsidian bough]

I stress to people that it is an EXPLORATION game and you are a SCIENTIST exploring a mysterious alien world. I think most of the people who hate BZ are people who want the game to be more "KILLING THINGS" and "COMBAT" focused

[proven trout]

Personally, I enjoy BZ because it doesn’t just pave the way for you

[obsidian bough]

RIGHT

It makes the game last longer

so you can savour it more, like a fine wine

which is exactly what I did.

[proven trout]

In the base game something I’ve always had an issue with is that you can go a full play through without touching nearly half the map

But BZ kinda forces you to explore

[obsidian bough]

Most people just wanna rush thru a game as quick as possible and move onto the next.

Subnautica requires patience and a will to explore.

The only thing I wish BZ had

is MORE THREATS. More creatures lurking in the deep wanting to eat you..

more jumpscares

[proven trout]

I feel like BZ did better on the aspect of making leviathans scary

[proven trout]

Although that could just be me being a BZ novice

[obsidian bough]

I think they could go even further

Lovecraftian inspired leviathans

DEEP void leviathans.

[proven trout]

Only issue though is that the BZ map is already quite small, I feel like adding more leviathans would just make it cramped

[obsidian bough]

Leviathans that hate the sun and only know true pitch black darkness.

[proven trout]

Although I do like how in BZ you’re forced to confront the aggressive ones

[obsidian bough]

||Yeah Shadow is a pain in my butt. XD||

||Shadows AI is very smart though. She knows how to get you even when ur hiding... cant be sneaky with her around||

But the tentacled leviathan we saw in the Subnautica 2 trailer? SIGN ME TF UP!

[proven trout]

I only see adult ghosts because I use the Blood Kelp Zone entrance

Reapers are kinda just there, you can avoid them pretty easily

Sea Dragon is really the only one that fits the category

[obsidian bough]

Reapers are fun to ride. Latch onto one with a prawn suit and let it take you for a ride

[obsidian dune]

Why does my base have oxygen even without an airpump?

[proven trout]

In BZ you’re forced to encounter at the very least a Shadow Leviathan

Would be surprised if you went the whole game without dealing with the worms though

[obsidian bough]

If it has power it has oxygen

[obsidian dune]

Then what's the pump for?

If power runs out?

[obsidian bough]

air pumps arent rly necessary and are only good for pumping air from the waters surface under water

[proven trout]

For when you don’t have power to rely on

[obsidian dune]

I see, thanks

[obsidian bough]

Well, one should always have power sooo xD

My game just started glitching and all the water physics stopped working

My chracter is running through the red crystal area on the ground

[eternal garnet]

Unstuck fixes locomotion mode (not swimming)

[obsidian bough]

NGL, I kinda like glitches. I find them funny sometimes xD

I managed to somehow climb back into my seatruck and it fixed it

Just in time for Shadow to give me a big smooch.

[eternal garnet]

yes, hatches also fixes it

unstuck is very harmless though. Repeat if necessary

[keen dagger]

I'm guessing you aren't talking about the hedgehog here are you? More like the leviathan I don't want to meet :(

[eternal garnet]

hedgehog? No-face.

[obsidian bough]

SUCC

[ebon bluff]

anyone know the glitch to walk on the sea floor? i find it pretty fun and cool to explore with

[obsidian bough]

Until you get stuck at the bottom of a pit and cant get out lmao

[ebon bluff]

that’s why i save before i do it

then reload

[steep pulsar]

Am I the only one who plays creative mode first to get a layout of the game

[jade wedge]

i'd rather have the new experience

[steep pulsar]

Fair

I’m more into causal gaming so I don’t like diving in head first without a layout (I suck at survival games XD)

[jade wedge]

I do too but if it has horror aspects to it i just try to do my best and try to figure it out

[steep pulsar]

Oh don’t get me wrong, the game is terrifying even in creative mode xd

[obsidian bough]

Im the opposite. I play on Standard survival first and once I beat the game without cheating, I swap over to creative for my other play throughs or when I just feel like BEING AN ARCHITECT and building insane bases without needing to gather resources

[jade wedge]

exactly

[steep pulsar]

bro I think this game knows what I need-

[obsidian bough]

and what do you need?

[steep pulsar]

I’m trying to craft a dept module and a sea monkey came up and gave me a key resource

[obsidian bough]

OH

||yeah I notice that if u have a blueprint pinned, the monkeys will try to bring u those specific resources. My guess it's AL-AN manipulating the Monkeys.||

[steep pulsar]

||THANKS AL-AN! I love my schizophrenia friend!||

[obsidian bough]

Like when the monkeys brought me MAGNETITE AND NICKEL like what xD Love them so much

[steep pulsar]

Frrr

I needed a diamond and they just came up and gave me one

[obsidian bough]

||The monkeys STEAL from you until Al-an gets inside ur head, then they start being helpful.||

[steep pulsar]

Wait a minute-

[keen dagger]

Like 60 seconds exact or...

The sea monkeys are cute fr

I keep getting lead

so much so I had to unpin the thing I was building

I think I got like 3 or 4 lead

Poor things must be poisoned by now.

Worse I think it's the same one

sure is a jolly fella

[steep pulsar]

He likes the taste

But yeah, I like, need so much stuff actually

[keen dagger]

Like what, there is so many resources everywhere.

You had to work hard to find anything that wasn't titanium or copper in the first one.

[steep pulsar]

Diamonds, silver, lithium

Silver and lithium for a power cell charger, and diamond and lithium for depth module

[obsidian bough]

Each biome has different resources

the more advanced the equipment, the more late game the resources are

So u gotta start out with a n00b base and build ur way up

[steep pulsar]

Funnily enough, I got my power cell charger

I now need a single diamond

Diamonds collected

||Now to find my new best friend!||

Wait guys, I just thought of something-

||How did Margaret bring her snow stalker with her? Like she only uses a prawn suit and like an entire human size animal||

[golden forge]

So why is she the reason they can’t respawn

[golden forge]

Ik how she killed it

But what does that have to do with why they can’t respawn

[quaint merlin]

so the reason they cant respawn is because she knifed it, so if they respawned then there would also be (first game spoilers ->) ||reapers in the grand reef||

[golden forge]

That makes no sense

[quaint merlin]

back to #subnautica-chat

[obsidian bough]

I bet they can swim? kinda like polar bears? Idk

[south light]

i beat below zero

ending was not that good

[obsidian bough]

I liked it. shrugs

But to be fair, I have my own reasons for liking it.

[coral siren]

I like it because ||it leaves things up to the imagination||

[steep pulsar]

||For a depth of 350..?||

[obsidian bough]

||Indeed. Also the possibility of the next game taking place on that planet???? ||

[steep pulsar]

Low

[obsidian bough]

I mean, if Robin can, why not lol

[steep pulsar]

Maybe..

But I’m more talking about lung capacity, it doesn’t have a air tank

[obsidian bough]

True..

Maybe theres enough room in the Prawn suit? xD

[south light]

Sn1 ending was way better imo

[steep pulsar]

Yes. Now someone needs to drawl them cuddling while in the prawn suit.

[obsidian bough]

||I want to draw Al-An and Robin cuddling. ||

||Too late. Already been done, by some pretty amazing artists no less||

[south light]

Me too 😍

[glad dagger]

are the keybinds all the same from s1 to sbz?

[glad dagger]

do it

[obsidian bough]

Oh dont challenge me

I swear2god I will do it. I will draw it.

[steep pulsar]

Do it, do it, do it.

[golden forge]

Dew it

[steep pulsar]

Anyways I need a name for my sea truck, any suggestions

[golden forge]

Ah man

[golden forge]

Ford

[obsidian bough]

Challenge accepted

[steep pulsar]

Heheh

[steep pulsar]

Please… ANYTHING ELSE

(I got hit by a ford two days ago)

[golden forge]

HUH

why are you saying it so casually

[steep pulsar]

I benched 200 right after

[golden forge]

Oh dam

[steep pulsar]

I’m naming it truck-kun

[golden forge]

Anyways uh Loader

Nvm

That’s even better

[steep pulsar]

Thank you

[obsidian bough]

Is it weird that im noticing weird parallels between Voltron: Legendary Defender and Subnautica.

Robin is voiced by Princess Allura

Alterra Vs Altea

etc.

[glad dagger]

cyber truck is the first thing that comes to mind

[obsidian bough]

Im surprised nobody has modded the Titan sub into this game...

[golden forge]

The what

[south light]

The real life submarine that imploded

[steep pulsar]

Depth of 50 meters with only 1 HP

[golden forge]

Oh god

[steep pulsar]

Am I wrong

Welp, ||I don’t know where to find the last parallel processing unit||

I just lost my sea truck-…

No I didn’t! I spawned in it!

[keen dagger]

Lithium is everywhere around the weird vents that explode pink :)

Diamonds yes it's a pain

[steel stream]

Mercury 2 wrecks (there are 3 different wreck sections)

[steep pulsar]

Yeah I got it now XD

Alright. I’m done with ||omega lab||

Guys- I think naming my sea truck Truck-kun gave it extra ramming damage XD

[obsidian bough]

anyone else wonder how the seatruck is able to maneuver so smoothly?

and how it can rotate 360 degrees perfectly when turning?

[steep pulsar]

I just killed a brute shark and a cryptosuchus in one hit

[obsidian bough]

Even when ur hauling modules

I wonder if this game is joystick compatible

[steep pulsar]

lol

[glad dagger]

that would be so sick

imagine a whole sea truck setup

[steep pulsar]

Prawn suit time!

[broken badge]

What kind of stick, like a flight stick?

Doubt that’d be supported but idk🤷‍♀️

[wise spruce]

Maybe on console but i doubt it will work on pc

His wifi is broken like me, i was seeing two of the same icon lol

[rocky ferry]

i need help, i have every achievment in sub 1, but i cant do anything in below zero, i have the|| seatruck and depth module 1, i saw the lady in th eprawn suit but when i go to the distress signal|| is just keeps going down and i die from lack of o2. can someone help?

[obsidian bough]

Do you see those flowers down there?

You can tap them and they will give u oxygen

theres a bunch of them leading to where the distress signal is coming from

use the oxygen flowers to keep ur oxygen high while exploring the caves

[rocky ferry]

i can try but i still usually run out because idk where im going

[obsidian bough]

Do you see the black and green obelisks?

follow them into the caves

[rocky ferry]

i went near one and my seatruck got zapped by like a energy thing and i lost all of my 90% power??

[obsidian bough]

Get out of the sea truck and go inside

[broken badge]

Oh you went too deep

If you got zapped, you were in deep twisty and that’s not where the signal is

It’s in the deeper part of twisty bridges but not so deep you enter that other part of the biome (the deepest dark blue part)

Like said, follow the flashing green lights into a cave

[rocky ferry]

im so confused, is there any way i can get like a walkthrough. below zero is so cramped and confusing

[broken badge]

So you should have a signal for the place you’re going, right?
Once you get to the right depth, you see these rectangular shaped things flashing this green lighting in an SOS pattern
These lead into a cave system, which is below the normal crush depth of the seatruck, unless you’ve already upgraded its depth module.
Which is fine, since the cave system you enter has plenty of oxygen plants to top off your tank

You follow the green lighting and oxygen plants toward the signal, which leads you to an ||alien facility which you swim through the forcefield|| and proceed with the story from there

[rocky ferry]

so im not supposed to go into the red cave area?

[broken badge]

I’m so confused, are you on a later part of the story? Have you already met ||Al-an||?

[rocky ferry]

no 😭 im trying to find ||margaret miada||

sorry for the confusing

[broken badge]

I’m totally lost on what you’re doing

[rocky ferry]

i found the prawn suit lady on the island with the altera stuff, she said stay away from her and the PDA gave me a distress signal saying where she was alst seen

[broken badge]

Oh, ok. So you need to find her base in the lilypad caves

[steel stream]

To find pilot, you need a bit upgraded equipment, at least rebreather and high capacity tank (do you have them?) Also seatruck depth module mk1 is recommended

[rocky ferry]

i have the depth module but idk how to get the schematics for the other stuff

[broken badge]

So the place where she’s at is confusing, because she’s not right at the place where the marker is
Seatruck is very helpful especially with depth mk1
Find some light sticks to lead the way, one of our playtesters also suggests looking for these glowing plants on the walls called hivemind to help you find the way as well
There are a few oxygen plants as well
If you go too deep you’ll up in different biomes

Really just find light sticks and/or hivemind to follow your way, you’ll come down out of the caves on top of a base but you’ll also hear her voice telling you to go away lol

I have to go to sleep but I’m sure others can help you from here, it’s not too complicated

Good luck!

[zealous surge]

am i supposed to read all this

ooohhhhh i see im glad i read this

[onyx river]

You should use the PRAWN suit to go to Margerit base, not the Seatruck, it's safer and more convenient. The Lilypads biome is SE of the Delta island, and you need to explore the crevices around the Lilypads roots. There's one crevice in particular that leads almost directly to the big cave where the base is, just by letting you gently fall around in a single jump of your PRAWN.

And no, Margerit doesn't talk to you unless you entered her base, don't expect her to radio you when approching her base.

[normal portal]

can you get subnautica multiplayer mod on steam?

[steel stream]

At least to me she has spoken every time before I see the base (when approaching the base for the first time)...it goes along the lines of "What part of go away didn't you understand?"

Maybe the trigger for radio call is on the specific cave with light sticks🤷🏻‍♂️

[modern bluff]

Do yall put baby penglins into the bio reactor? Or is it just me?

[onyx river]

I don't put anything in the bio reactor, there's no BZ equivalent to the Sea Treader Leviathan poop. I run on nuclear power or solar panels.

[torpid saddle]

i feed them to void Celicerate

[ancient flower]

Real

[steel stream]

Sad part is that the only use for alien feces is bioreactor fuel, and it's quite poor in that...

[onyx river]

Sea Treader poop brings more energy than any egg, most plants, and is easier to get than living animals. To me it's the best way to fuel a bioreactor in SN. Too bad it's not in BZ.
To fuel the bioreactor in BZ, Fevered Pepper seems to be the best solution since you can harvest several on a single plant in a base.

[steel stream]

Best way to fuel bioreactor in 1st game is marblemelons growing next to the reactor (most convenient and easy to set up) or almost any small fish in alien containment (oculus would be most bioenergy). Poop you have to gather from sea treaders, whereas those two option you can build renewable source at your base (and provide more bioenergy than poop)

[echo trail]

I prefer lantern fruit but also sea treader poop is a terrible fuel source.

[steel stream]

Marblemelon (or bulbo tree) provide double the energy of lantern fruit, but have to admit that not needing to replant adds a bit of convenience

In below zero fevered peppers growing next to the bioreactor is probably the best solution (arctic peeper in alien containment provides more energy-efficient alternative)

[junior light]

in below zero you get nuclear rods for free

[broken badge]

Literally everything is better than using sea treaders poop

[fallow sinew]

Anyone else find the trivalves kinda mid compared to the cuddlefish?

[onyx river]

OK, one, you're wrong and the wiki disagrees with you. As Mika and Bramble said it before, SOME plants are more interesting than Sea Treader poop, but that's it. Feces are worth 300 energy units, that's a lot more than most items except living animals and almost every plant.
And two, we should close the matter since it's not BZ related and because you're all very annoying about it.

[broken badge]

You know there’s an energy table pinned in #subnautica-chat it’s easy to see this info for yourself

[onyx river]

You know I don't care, I run on nuclear power.
Unless, of course, you can't read and/or you didn't bother to read what I said when, y'know, I said that I run on nuclear power.

[broken badge]

It’s fine to close the matter, but it’s a common mistake many people don’t take in account the larger things you have to divide the energy value by 4 if it’s a 2x2 object as opposed to a 1x1 object. I’m saying this so others understand as well. I like using nuclear power too, it’s great. I’m not trying to harass you about this; it’s an important concept that other players understand.

Feces is worth 300, but that means it’s only worth 75 energy per slot. Acid mushrooms are still better at 210. Oculus at the highest at 630 but virtually everything is higher than 75, just because feces takes up so much room. That’s the takeaway for others to know. The nice thing about the games is you can use many different power sources and choice is always good

In BZ the root pustules are amazing, sadly they don’t regenerate (but there are quite a lot of them around)
Fevered peppers are pretty good though

[junior light]

there are no cutefish in bz otherwise that'd be the best power source if you calculate all the internet tears too

[steel stream]

There are penglings though, which many seem to use and many cry over it...

[obsidian bough]

I kinda hate that they took away the lantern fruits ability to hydrate you as it could in the first game. I prefer the peppers over the lantern fruits now

[keen dagger]

There are peppers? I only found horseshoe nuts lol

[obsidian bough]

Yesss. The peppers are all over land. They are the glowing red banana looking things that grow in bundles

[median jacinth]

m

[cold urchin]

jw, does the life pod always spawn in same plkace?

[somber matrix]

There are 3 spots it can spawn in

[cold urchin]

ok i was jw if its like 5 spawns same as in 1st game

[somber matrix]

Nah it's less in BZ I believe, I've always rotated between the same 3 spots

[broken badge]

There’s a lot more spawns than that, but granted many look very similar in position.
Here’s a link to where all your starting lifepod can spawn

#subnautica-chat message

That’s Subnautica of course. As said it’s 3 positions in BZ

[keen dagger]

Oh I must find these peppers then :)

they sound amazing!

[last elm]

Wrong chat

[broken badge]

If you’re serious, please seek professional help @last elm

[onyx river]

Look around Phi Robotics labs. I think, if I remember correctly, that they grow in the cave south of it (that cave leading to... story materials.).

[keen dagger]

I'm so slow at this game 😮‍💨

[onyx river]

Don't worry, just enjoy it.

[obsidian bough]

It's good to take your time.

[keen dagger]

Well that's good cause I pretty much am, being chased by stuff is terrifying.

[left onyx]

hey guys how do i construckt the overide module again

[manic garden]

can i use several loose teleportation modules as fast travel points?

[steep pulsar]

I love sea monkeys

I was trying to making a prawnsuit drill arm and they kept giving me diamonds so I could

[steel stream]

It only works when powered, i.e. connected to cabin. But technically you could build several cabins, and disconnect the cabin each time you teleport (you are teleported to the oldest powered module, so after disconnecting the cabin you can teleport to the second oldest and so on)

[eternal garnet]

this is no coincidence

[steep pulsar]

Nonsense

[manic garden]

huh, neat

and uuuh, another question: what do i do if i let's say... accidentally drove my snowfox into a snow stalker cave?

[steel stream]

Drive out?

Or get off, hold a flare, pick up snowfox and walk away, start driving when no creatures nearby

[manic garden]

i was thinking of doing that but i kept on dying over and over again

[eternal garnet]

get a flare, maybe another light source will work. Pick snowfox up from behind

[manic garden]

right

will do, let's just hope i won't die 459 times

[eternal garnet]

if possible, report how they react to flashlight or seaglide light

and laser cutter

[manic garden]

laser cutter?

[eternal garnet]

yes, start cutting. it's like a tiny flare

[manic garden]

never knew that

[eternal garnet]

all those I was going to test

[manic garden]

aight

[eternal garnet]

but I would have plenty of med kits

[manic garden]

too bad they don't react to snowballs

[eternal garnet]

save often!

[manic garden]

wish i had all of the fragments for the parallel processing unit...

[rugged pulsar]

what do I do after I just went to Margarets base and scanned a part for the snowfox?

[manic garden]

get more snowfox parts?

[rugged pulsar]

yeah but where do I go next?

like next main obj to do

[manic garden]

look for more stuff

and explore new biomes

[rugged pulsar]

ok

[manic garden]

my current objective is to find the fragments for that goddamn parallel processing unit

but i don't know where to look... i just found the first one out of pure luck

[onyx river]

In the different parts of the Mercury II wreck. Bring some air and a laser cutter.

[manic garden]

which mercury II wreck? there's several?

[onyx river]

Exactly the same as Leo's. Shut down the tower using the test module, so Margerit and you can have Alterra off your back.

[onyx river]

The ship has crashed and broken in three parts, two big and a small, if I remember correctly. You need to search in the big ones. Go south east.

[manic garden]

so it's not as if the three fragments are each in their own individual parts of the mercury II?

[onyx river]

Yes it is.

There are 3 fragments needed to unlock the blueprint and they are scattered in the Mercury II.

[manic garden]

and they spawn at random in said parts?

[onyx river]

Nope.

[manic garden]

or can i sometimes find two of those fragments in the same part of the ship?

[onyx river]

There are some rooms that look like control or engine rooms.

With locked lockers. Hence the laser cutter you need to open them.

[manic garden]

ok, now i have to reclaim my snowfox from evil snow stalkers with little to no HP left

[onyx river]

Don't.

Snowfox is useless.

[manic garden]

i like mine

i named it the arctic rider for crying out loud

and it looks fricking badass

[onyx river]

It's still a frail plastic bicycle.

[manic garden]

i find it useful for whenever i need to traverse the arctic basin

[onyx river]

You know you also can do it with a mecha, right ? 🙂

[manic garden]

you mean a prawn suit?

[onyx river]

Yep.

[manic garden]

i look cooler on a snwofox

[bold monolith]

@median jacinth do you have the game on Steam?

[steel stream]

There are total of 6 fragments in 3 wreck sections (3, 2 and 1 in each). Three of them require laser cutter to get the scan, 3 don't.

[manic garden]

ah

[sharp cipher]

do crashfish also exist in below zero

[steel stream]

Yes 😱

[sharp cipher]

dang

what about bleeders?

[onyx river]

Nope.

[steel stream]

No 🥳

[onyx river]

Cuddlefish do, though. Sort of.

[sharp cipher]

oh good cause these 2 are the things i fear most 💀

[cold urchin]

bro i was doing a speedrun and i was 40 min in and forgot to save between so im back to square 1 w

[onyx river]

You mean you don't fear the Reaper and Ghost Leviathans ? Damn, I wish I was this brave.

[manic garden]

?

never knew that

[sharp cipher]

honestly nah

[cold urchin]

"oh why is my seamoth mooving on its own" ahh reaction

[onyx river]

I didn't until I saw one of my favorite youtubers talking about them in her BZ video.

[manic garden]

huh

what is the BZ version of the cuddle fish called?

[onyx river]

I don't remember, they are octopus-like, there are like 6 of them, some blue and some golden, they look adorable.

[manic garden]

huh

[steel stream]

Trivalve

They can also 'walk' on land...

[onyx river]

"Trivalve." I can't put a picture here. One big eye in the middle, two smaller, one above and one below, tiny tentacles to stand up and goof around, they look curious and playful, you'd love them.

Apparently, according to the wiki, they're bigger than the cuddlefish, compared to a human being.

[manic garden]

cool

can i change the batteries somehow on my snowfox? or is it charging dock only?

[steel stream]

Pick it up, equip on hand, and change battery like any other tool. The hoverpad charges and repairs it (with no external power needed...)

[manic garden]

i was asking because my inventory full and i couldn't pick it up

[steel stream]

You can drop stuff to have room for it (4x4), change battery, deploy it and pick the stuff back up...bit of hassle

[manic garden]

i never thought 'bout that...

[steel stream]

Just consider the terrain...any slopes might cause stuff to roll away

[sharp cipher]

theres also a void in the first game tho

god im so scared of crashfish that im too scared to enter any caves 😭

[manic garden]

crashfish ain't spooky

[sharp cipher]

they are for me

[manic garden]

just annoying

[sharp cipher]

same with bleeders

[steel stream]

The 'dumb' explanation is that it marks the playable area...

[sharp cipher]

yeah

i guess

[manic garden]

wasn't there two voids in BZ?

[sharp cipher]

wdym

[manic garden]

one under water and one on land

so the land one is just a glitch then?

so i can't access it at all in other words?

there's just this invisible barrier?

?

i now know that chelicerates loves to give people kisses

[median jacinth]

no but instead on xbox

[median jacinth]

but i use it as PC in xbox

[manic garden]

i have gone SE but no ship wreck part

[bold monolith]

Do you mean you use the Xbox app?

[median jacinth]

yessir

[bold monolith]

Which CPU do you have?

[median jacinth]

let me check rq

here is my CPU

[bold monolith]

Alright. Windows key + r, shell:localappdatalow\unknown worlds\subnautica below zero, you have Player there.

DM me this file.

[median jacinth]

sure

[manic garden]

🙂

[onyx river]

The big ones are in Purple Vents and Lilypads biomes.

[manic garden]

i just got the three frags so i'm a-ok now

[sharp cipher]

is the thermos useful

[manic garden]

what's the normal way up to the delta station radio tower?

[manic garden]

yes

[sharp cipher]

you follow the caves

[sharp cipher]

alr ty

[manic garden]

it gives you a temperature boost if there's no caves around

[eternal garnet]

Very limited. One-time use as heat source, then you have to refill it

[sharp cipher]

how do i fill it

[eternal garnet]

in caves nearby, youll find the much more useful pepper fruit

in the coffee maker

[sharp cipher]

i just wasted glass 😭

oh well

[manic garden]

?

i kinda did a dum-dum and now i can't get to my prawn i think

[sharp cipher]

you follow the caves

to get there

[onyx river]

There are several ways through the cave to the "base camp" of Delta island, then it's straight to the stairs to get the tower.

[sharp cipher]

yeah ig

[manic garden]

i did, but i always end up going around in circles

[eternal garnet]

if you find a desk, face it then go right

the desk is easy to find

[onyx river]

Yep, and right again when leaving the cave.

The desk is in front of a sulfur pool.

[manic garden]

ok

[onyx river]

In a small cave with like 3 entrances.

[eternal garnet]

and totally no jumpscares

[manic garden]

this one?

[onyx river]

Yep.

Go to your left.

[manic garden]

ok

[eternal garnet]

in the picture, left

[manic garden]

got to the tower

now i can finally get my prawn down

[onyx river]

So it's possible to put pictures here after all. I'm so stupid 😄 Don't mind me, it's hard to be french 😄

[eternal garnet]

missable item just outside the door

[sharp cipher]

dude how did i get the seatruck and mobile vehicle bay blueprints before the seaglide 😭

[eternal garnet]

you rushed out of the starter area I guess

[onyx river]

Leo ! Meet the pets 😄

[sharp cipher]

i just went to delta now im exploring deep twisty bridges

[onyx river]

No idea, there are seaglide fragments everywhere in the base biome XD

Your truck can go that deep ? You should have depth upgrade 2, right ? I couldn't with the first one.

[sharp cipher]

i just got the blueprints btw

ok now time to go to al-an before the seaglide 😎

[manic garden]

?

[manic garden]

they look cybernetic somehow

[sharp cipher]

fr

where do you find them btw

[carmine bobcat]

is below zero worth it

[onyx river]

Ugh, this hell.
If you're looking for the greenhouse, go there by night, it will be easier to spot the lights planted on the ice. It's a big iceberg with a climbing tunnel that goes under an ice arch. First you need to find the "bank" of the iceberg, where you can land and climb. Search for lights in the north-east.

[manic garden]

no

[onyx river]

The game, or the base ?

[eternal garnet]

yes. We are totally not biased, chatting here for 3 years

[carmine bobcat]

i bought the first 2 days before the teaser bruh

[eternal garnet]

but no joke, Below Zero is my favorite game

[onyx river]

Below Zero base is meh, but the rest of the game. Ugh, this music is wonderful. I love it so much more than the first game soundtrack.

[manic garden]

so there's no beakon to its location?

[sharp cipher]

lmao i just arrived at the al-an facility thing before i even got the seaglide

[onyx river]

Nah 😦

[manic garden]

mother-

[carmine bobcat]

does below zero have scary stuff

[eternal garnet]

no, but it's 1130m east from delta dock. Tiny bit south also, hardly mentionable

[manic garden]

no

[onyx river]

My top 5 games of all times : 1. Subnautica 2. Eastshade 3. Fallout 4. 4. Below Zero. 5. TESO ^^

[eternal garnet]

yes, about the same

[manic garden]

the chelicerate loves to give you kisses 😄

[eternal garnet]

it's got two jumpscares in the story. Ask later if you care about these

[onyx river]

Not really. If you have played Subnautica, you know Blood Kelp Zone and Blood Trench. There's nothing that scary in Below Zero. The fear is present, but always kinda superficial.

[eternal garnet]

not agreeing with that

[carmine bobcat]

i just started the first one so im not sure havent even explored the aurora

[onyx river]

Blood Kelp Zone is a hell of darkness and hidden threats. Below Zero threats are in plain sight, except in the most deep biomes.

[eternal garnet]

Both games have scary moments

[carmine bobcat]

i think imma get it

[onyx river]

OK, then just know that in terms of ambience, Subnautica is perfect. You can stop and admire the landscape sometimes, and at other times you run for your life without knowing what's chasing you and it's GOOD to be afraid 😄

[eternal garnet]

scares bring thrills and excitement. That's what they are for

[manic garden]

:3

[onyx river]

The first game really has understood and embraced the human fear for depths. Below Zero, much less :/

[manic garden]

below zero is just a sci-fi movie in my eyes

[onyx river]

I was going to tell that, I just didn't find the right verb to phrase it XD

[sharp cipher]

whats so scary abt the blood kelp biome

[manic garden]

lol

[onyx river]

For me Below Zero is much more obviously a SF story, while Subnautica is more a lonely survival game.

[manic garden]

voices

[sharp cipher]

donald trump saying china in sparse reef

[manic garden]

you can hear sounds but you can't tell where they're comming from

[onyx river]

Sounds, cracks, screams, lights and shadows, and what you can't see.

[sharp cipher]

im legit not scared of that biome 😭

more scared of crashfish than that

[manic garden]

is this the correct way?

[sharp cipher]

honestly how

[eternal garnet]

greenhouse? No, EAST

[manic garden]

oh...

[onyx river]

"This ecological biome matches 7 of the 9 preconditions for stimulating terror in humans."

[manic garden]

straight east?

[eternal garnet]

yes, very tiny bit south also

1130m from delta dock

[manic garden]

ah, gotchu

[onyx river]

North east. Look for icebergs.

[manic garden]

is that the depth?

[eternal garnet]

no.

no, look at the beacon, it has distance on it

[manic garden]

there's no beacon for it

[eternal garnet]

Delta dock? did you steal it?

[manic garden]

oh

[onyx river]

I told you, you're looking for a surface greenhouse, but you can't see it from the surface, you need to look for artifical lights near an arch in a big iceberg, and the path goes under the arch then up to the top.

[manic garden]

i thought you meant the iceberg

[eternal garnet]

I have a pic

[onyx river]

And no there's no beacon around the greenhouse. You might want to bring one.

[eternal garnet]

This is the shore of greenhouse iceberg. Notice compass direction, and delta beacon

usually you don't need to go back to the greenhouse

[manic garden]

is it past lillypad?

[eternal garnet]

no

[manic garden]

hm

[eternal garnet]

Go back to the dock, then East

[onyx river]

It's not underwater. I think your best shot is to go there by night and swim at the surface, looking for the lights.

[eternal garnet]

that does work

[onyx river]

The greenhouse is quite high above the water surface anyway.

[eternal garnet]

you are completely lost lol

[manic garden]

yeah...

[eternal garnet]

where is your perimeter defense?

it's a missable item on ||Maida's floor||

[sharp cipher]

im somehow more scared of bleeders and crashfish than anything else in the subnautica games

i dont know how

[manic garden]

i don't have the frag for it

[eternal garnet]

you don't need scanning

it's ready to use

[onyx river]

When I play a game that I love, like Subnautica, I'm so invest that I can feel what the character is feeling. Going down the Trench never was a pleasant journey for me XD

[manic garden]

is it in marg's home?

[sharp cipher]

lmao

[eternal garnet]

yes

[sharp cipher]

subnautica is one of the best games ever tho fr

[eternal garnet]

truth

[sharp cipher]

finally got seaglide fragments

after al-an transferring into my mind

btw is there any more blueprints except the rebreather in the twisty bridges

or is there smth in the deep twisty bridges

[onyx river]

I think there are good Truck blueprints in the deep twisty bridges.

[sharp cipher]

yeah just got one

[onyx river]

Modules blueprints.

[eternal garnet]

twisty: truck, MVB, high capacity o2
deep twisty: two truck modules, several new resources

[sharp cipher]

alr ty

i havent played subnautica for so long, mostly below zero that i forgot so much

[onyx river]

Just reinstalled BZ. Please don't mess with my keyboard, please don't mess with my keyboard, I hate this bug 😦

[eternal garnet]

yes it's confusing, but I am rare to prefer BZ

oh that. I haven't heard that issue from someone else

[onyx river]

I'll try not to press Space and Q at the same time...

[sharp cipher]

yeah exactly why i forgot some stuff abt BZ

btw are there any mods to subnautica BZ?

or is it the same as the first game

[eternal garnet]

yes, not as many, but quite a few

you cannot mix mods

[sharp cipher]

alr

actually havent modded yet but probably will tmr or even today

[eternal garnet]

mods don't hurt achievements

[onyx river]

So far so good... ok, let's swim ! 😄

[eternal garnet]

mods not updated since 2021 may break your game

[manic garden]

is this the right direction?

[eternal garnet]

new player BZ tips for SN players: Carry a beacon always. The air bladder is great now, early game

[sharp cipher]

fr the air bladder is goated

it can get you to the surface from like 180m

[eternal garnet]

well, it's east. For some reason you have a beacon in front

[onyx river]

Look above the surface, try to scry icebergs, especially the part where they touch water. That's where you can land if you find the right one.

[manic garden]

ok

[eternal garnet]

Turn around to look at delta beacon distance

If you find a berg with a satellite on it, go next berg south-east

[sharp cipher]

found the high capacity tank bp

[onyx river]

Ugh, I didn't save last time, I was annoyed by the bug, I lost so much progress XD

[eternal garnet]

scan the window!

Save Often!

[sharp cipher]

bet

[manic garden]

i see one but i don't know if it's the correct one though

[sharp cipher]

the air bladder just saved me

like 1 second and i would have died

[onyx river]

aaaaaand bug \o/

[eternal garnet]

pic: the volcano = North

[manic garden]

ah

[onyx river]

Kill me please.

[manic garden]

insert shooting_gun.mp4 here

[eternal garnet]

something might be up with your game config. You can delete the file: in app folder\Snappdata\Savedgames\Config

[onyx river]

The right iceberg has Alterra lights planted on its shore, in front of an ice arch, that leads to the path going up the greenhouse.

[sharp cipher]

robin came so unprepared that she doesnt even have window blueprints

[manic garden]

ok

[onyx river]

You want to know the worse ? It's random. While I was typing some q were showing up after I pressed Space, and now it's gone.

[eternal garnet]

I dunno. Instructions were for steam

[onyx river]

If it's a message from the universe, it's totally vain. I will not give up my fourth favorite game of all times. Begone, universe, let me swin in arctic waters.

[eternal garnet]

you could play controller. I hate them, but hey

[onyx river]

On computer ? Are you mad ? XD I only use it for Lego Marvel Superheroes x)

[manic garden]

it was my old home, now it's just there

why can you steal penglins?

[glad dagger]

bioreactor 👀

[manic garden]

huh?

[glad dagger]

bioreactor.

[manic garden]

😨

[glad dagger]

:3

[manic garden]

so you use baby space penguins for biofuel?

[sharp cipher]

lmao the PDA just said "No bed? No storage? No place to put a fabricator module? No fun."

[onyx river]

Go vegan. Grow plants.

[glad dagger]

indeed

[glad dagger]

i hate the bz pda

[sharp cipher]

the voice is weird and sometimes sounds indian (not racist)

[manic garden]

why? that's insanely morbid

[glad dagger]

fun

[manic garden]

it's just that one cute chicken flash game that people used to play back in the day all over again

[glad dagger]

crossy roads?

[manic garden]

no, there's this one game where you're supposedly taking care of a cute chicken

forgot the name of it

or don't know the name of it

[sharp cipher]

is it possible to plant the acid mushroom replacement

[eternal garnet]

yes

cut it for seeds

[sharp cipher]

alr nice

infinite batteries (unless you gather all the copper from your world)

[ripe needle]

Spawn more copper

[onyx river]

The way you find titanium : hated it at first, still hate it. BZ map is much smaller than SN, which means you don't need as many seabases and as much titanium, and titanium ingots require 5 units instead of 10 formerly. And yet you find titanium in every type of geode when you'd need lead, gold or silver. What am I supposed to do with all this titanium ?

[sharp cipher]

fr

[sharp cipher]

i hate titanium but when i need it for a base i dont have it 💀

[ripe needle]

I just can’t find lead and the lead I did find I accidentally in my sleep tired state made it into a second mark 1 dive module. That was 2 hours wasted.

[sharp cipher]

damn

[manic garden]

i can't get the parameter defense system

[ripe needle]

And I didn’t save in those 2 hours.

[eternal garnet]

in her living room, on the floor

[ripe needle]

So double dam.

[eternal garnet]

you should save 4 times an hour

[onyx river]

Another thing I hate : myself. Was it that complicated to bring a beacon when exploring Koppa Mine ? No. Did I do it ? Also no 💀 Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[sharp cipher]

i only save when im leaving

[sharp cipher]

ghost command

[eternal garnet]

I'm telling you, save more

[eternal garnet]

Scan for Galena. Handscanner even

[ripe needle]

But I thought the mineral mines/deposits gave you unlimited gold, titanium, iron, etc? Still a limited amount?

[eternal garnet]

unlimited no, but a lot. They never respawn

[ripe needle]

Well dam.

[sharp cipher]

does the entrance to koppa look like a cave entrance or does it have built stuff at the entrance

[ripe needle]

Here I am thinking I’m good. Wish there was a way to get unlimited in the base survival.

[echo trail]

They didn't in either game with a slight technicality of shape respawning by sea treaders

[ripe needle]

Or it spawned back in naturally over time.

[echo trail]

Sea monkey gifts are renewable

[eternal garnet]

it has a white alterra door,. depth 150

[manic garden]

how do i get in there now?

[sharp cipher]

what abt the entrance to get to the door

[eternal garnet]

after you finish the greenhouse

[sharp cipher]

or is there not one

[ripe needle]

So if I accidentally kill a sea monkey…

[manic garden]

well then

[ripe needle]

Is it all good?

[eternal garnet]

it's kinda in the open. Large hole with boxes and light sticks. South-west of delta shore

[onyx river]

It's built like a big quarry : large, squared, high walls on each side. If you go high enough, you get straight to the surface. There are just tiny ways between rocks with Alterra lights to find it. It's quite visible when you find it. Which I'm unable to do, cause I'm an idiot 🥲

[sharp cipher]

alr ty

[onyx river]

Also it's west of Delta station beacon.

[eternal garnet]

sorry if I mislead you to go there now

[manic garden]

it ok

🙂

[eternal garnet]

I actually forgot it's locked when she's not in

[echo trail]

You could make the trip worthwhile by playing with sea monkeys

[ripe needle]

Do sea monkeys respawn like other fauna or are they like leviathans, once they’re dead. They’re dead.

[onyx river]

Found it. 416 meters SW of Delta beacon.

[manic garden]

this MF just hut me with a 2 hit combo

[ripe needle]

I’ve also killed a lot of penguins by accident.

[eternal garnet]

all small creatures like that respawn

[ripe needle]

Ok. Great.

[onyx river]

The other day I killed a brute shark with my truck 😦 I love (IRL) sharks 😦

[eternal garnet]

You found grumpy-crab!

[ripe needle]

I’ve killed so many things with my truck by accident. Include a stalker.

[manic garden]

yeah...

why is grumpy-crab so mean? 😦

[steep pulsar]

Well, I won’t need diamonds or ruby for a while

[onyx river]

"Don't touch my rock ! It's my worm !"

[soft atlas]

was our orange ship supposed to land in the water and turn into a submarine?

[onyx river]

I don't think so. The propellers don't look built for underwater travel.

[eternal garnet]

in old story we saw more of those. it's a lander, short distance air travel

[steep pulsar]

Tbh I enjoy the old story way more

[ripe needle]

The sayians are returning!!!

[eternal garnet]

"shuttle" I think it's called

[manic garden]

but if it's short distance, then why is it flying away from the planet?

[soft atlas]

ohh ok ty

[onyx river]

....it's not. You crash on 4546B with it.

[ripe needle]

What was the original story?

[manic garden]

oh yeah...

[onyx river]

Maybe loading screens are misleading. Is it flying away from the planet on the loading screen ?

[manic garden]

it's like watching an image of a sun on the oceanic horizon

is the sun setting or rising?

[onyx river]

D'you remember where the Ventgarden biome is ? I've never built a base down there, could be useful.

[manic garden]

ok, so it's finally night, in which direction should i look from the delta station?

[onyx river]

East. But it's 1000 meters away, roughly, as Margerit said.

[eternal garnet]

directly south of delta dock

[manic garden]

so i can't see it from delta?

[onyx river]

OK, thanks !

[onyx river]

Not at all. You need to find Alterra lights planted in the snow, at the base of the Iceberg.

[manic garden]

gotchu

am i getting close?

[eternal garnet]

read this again #below-zero-chat message

[soft atlas]

i just launched the game after more than 1 year and found the base i built 😭 i was crazy

[onyx river]

That's not a base. That's a city.

[eternal garnet]

that's an FPS drop, is what it is

[glad dagger]

daaaang

[soft atlas]

pretty much yeah it has a school, dozens of quarters, lots of moonpools, cafteraria and everything you need to live lmao

[manic garden]

how do you have so many inventory fast slots?

[soft atlas]

mod

[manic garden]

ah

[onyx river]

You guys are on fire, it will be so fun when the game will actually be multiplayer 😄

[soft atlas]

yep it is

[soft atlas]

idk why i'm in survival, I made this in creative tho

[glad dagger]

mods might break with s2 multiplayer

[soft atlas]

i hope as long as we have the same mods we can play together

[eternal garnet]

SN2 mods will need a complete rewrite

[soft atlas]

yes ofc it's not the same engine and everything will change

[eternal garnet]

and doing mods during EA is an uphill battle: weekly patches

[manic garden]

something tells me that it's white as far as the eye can see

[eternal garnet]

can I have a SS where we can read the delta beacon distance+compass

[tacit thorn]

nah, wait for the storm to subside and watch for the edge of the world

[onyx river]

What could be hilarious would be that I search and find the greenhouse before you so I can guide you to it XD
Which I'm not currently doing, I'm planning to settle deep on the ocean floor.

[eternal garnet]

you are still looking for a greenhouse, yes?

[manic garden]

yup

is this the right location?

but the shore itself is further off?

[eternal garnet]

Cannot tell from a SS with some ice.
Can I have a SS where we can read the delta beacon distance+compass

[manic garden]

idk if it's visible or not

[eternal garnet]

it is. Go north a little, and a lot east

you want it 1130m away

[manic garden]

ok

is this the arc that was mentioned earlier?

[eternal garnet]

no

[manic garden]

ok

[onyx river]

OMG it's exhausting to be that stupid, how can I even survive ? I went to the Ventgarden biome to settle a base powered by a thermal station, found a rift, plunged deep into it, leaving my truck up there cause it can't go that deep. Approching the geyser, I remember, you know what I forgot to take ? Materials for the thermal station 🤡

[manic garden]

🤣

is it permanently stormy where i currently am?

because i can't see anything at all

[onyx river]

Meh. I wouldn't have built it anyway, I don't have aerogel and magnetite yet.

[manic garden]

e

[steep pulsar]

Sounds like a skill issues

[onyx river]

Lack of planning. I left the base too quickly. At least I have an empty room, roughly at the right spot, with a beacon underneat it.

[steep pulsar]

lol

[manic garden]

i'm lost again i think...

[wicked nest]

Where do you live

[steep pulsar]

Your never lost! If you don’t know where you are to begin with

[manic garden]

i got this message

[wicked nest]

Also no place is permanentlx stormx

[manic garden]

does this mean that i'm closer to the greenhouse?

[onyx river]

You're not far from the world edge. Maybe a little too up north I think.

[eternal garnet]

no it's a minor thing. the berg may require laser cutter to get in

it probably has magnetite

[manic garden]

ok

[eternal garnet]

if you want, another delta beacon+compass SS

[eternal garnet]

Direction is perfect. Distance: 734, you want 1130

[manic garden]

ok

so it's not at this iceberg formation at all then?

[eternal garnet]

no

[manic garden]

i kinda dislike BZ because you can get to the world's edge WAY too easily

[onyx river]

This game is trolling you. I found it. Well, I knew what I was looking for, so...

[manic garden]

yeah

i had a feeling that it was doing that from the very beginning sadly...😔

[onyx river]

Here. The distance to Delta Station and the entrace to the path that goes upward.

[eternal garnet]

oh O means Ouest. West. Silly

[onyx river]

Yeah, sorry, game's in french.

[eternal garnet]

I'm sorry about this language bug, future games will be better

j/k

[onyx river]

I'm not supposed to be here, I haven't shut down the tower, the greenhouse is locked x)

You're too close from Delta and you need to be slightly north. Look at the compass on my screenshots. Delta isn't exactly west, it's slightly SW.

[eternal garnet]

since last SS, you have gone west. You wanted the opposite

[manic garden]

i know, but i wanted to get away from the world's edge

[eternal garnet]

the east edge is about 1300m from delta

[onyx river]

Don't. The greenhouse is really far in the east.

[manic garden]

ah

[eternal garnet]

But save anyway. Solves that

[manic garden]

isn't the lillypads in the east?

[onyx river]

In case it could help you : local fauna is comprised of glow whales, little seal-like creatures, and arctic rays. If you cross the little noisy predator, you're too west.

[eternal garnet]

no, south from here

[manic garden]

ah

what's in the east then?

[eternal garnet]

greenhouse, then void

[onyx river]

Meatie, I'm going deep and north right now, Lilypads are south of the greenhouse, not north. Right here the floor is barely covered in kelp.

[eternal garnet]

i did say south

[onyx river]

My bad. "south from here", here being the greenhouse x)

[eternal garnet]

you are in east arctic then. it's very sparse

yes Leo is finally kinda close now

it's not that hard to find the greenhouse! lol

[manic garden]

is it in the same direction as my old home?

[manic garden]

it's my first time

[onyx river]

Depends where you are from the Delta station. When you go east, turn around frequently to check its position.

[eternal garnet]

I could notanswer that

[manic garden]

my old home is in the east if that helps

[onyx river]

Come on, mate XD We gave you plenty of data, screenshots... just go 1100 east of the station, to begin with x)

[manic garden]

i am slow

like 1fps brain capacity slow

[onyx river]

And travel right under the surface, so you can notice ice plaques, icebergs and glow whales.

[manic garden]

that's why i am like this

[eternal garnet]

well, for every SS of the delta beacon + compass, I can give directions

[onyx river]

I believe in you. Step by step. First go away from Delta station until you're at the right distance. Turn around to look behind you until you're at 1100 meters.

[manic garden]

so it's not in the direction of the purple vents?

[onyx river]

It's NE of them.

[eternal garnet]

not really no. It's east, just that

[onyx river]

First, from the Delta station or wherever you are, put it on your west side. The delta beacon, right on the W of your compass. Keep it that way going east until you're at 1100 meters.

[eternal garnet]

Go east and north. More east than north

[onyx river]

Turn around so we can see the distance from Delta station.

[eternal garnet]

we can, 2nd pic

[onyx river]

My bad. Again Leo, you're far too west.

[eternal garnet]

Some peope are incompatible with compasses. it's fine

[manic garden]

i just watched a vid and it said that i should start from the DP

[eternal garnet]

don't fear the void, just save game. This should bring some confidence

[onyx river]

You don't need to start from Delta if you're already east of it. You were on the right way earlier.

[eternal garnet]

DP? But sure, whatever works

[manic garden]

drop pod

[eternal garnet]

ok try that. The pod does move, but not far

[soft atlas]

what?

[onyx river]

The point still is to have Delta station on your west. Remember my two screenshots ?

[eternal garnet]

the drop pod has one of 3 locations picked at random

in SN, it's even more random

[soft atlas]

ohh really ? I never noticed that

[soft atlas]

wait you mean we don't always spawn at the same spot 😭

[eternal garnet]

we do! Because we spawn at the crashed shuttle

[soft atlas]

in sn i mean

[eternal garnet]

right. no it's picked at random in a spawn region

[soft atlas]

250 hours on it and I never noticed lmao

[onyx river]

Nope. Always in the safe shallows, but the biome is scattered and tangled with Kelp forest and some of Grassy Plateau.

[eternal garnet]

the region is kinda small-ish

[manic garden]

where can i find the afterburner fragments?

[onyx river]

On the wiki, there's a SN map that shows that the safe shallows is actually divided in 4 or 5 parts around the center of the map (more or less), with the Mushroom Forest, Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateau all around.

[eternal garnet]

lilypad crevices: monkey nests. Difficult

[manic garden]

and horsepower?

[eternal garnet]

same

[manic garden]

ah

[onyx river]

You don't need to bring the whole train to the greenhouse, travel lightly, just take the cockpit.

[manic garden]

my main base is at the arctic basin and i'm too lazy to go all the way back there in order to unload

[onyx river]

Are there beacons in the modules ? Meatie, if Leo drops the modules and leaves with the cockpit, they will be easy to get back or... ?

[eternal garnet]

yes modules have beacons

[manic garden]

still gonna look for the two upgrades though

just as a little prepparation

wish you could pin stuff that doesn't have 100% fragments so that you could check how many fragments you had left until completion

[manic garden]

something's sus here...

[onyx river]

It would be great if we had some kind of repelling technology, some device that would say "guys, you're around my base and if you don't go away it will be bad for your health." Too many bulldogs sharks in the Purple Vents. They bark a lot, I hate them.

[manic garden]

propulsion canon?

[onyx river]

Yeah, but I mean some kind of automatic device to set around seabases.

[manic garden]

deploy the seamonkey

[onyx river]

It's not Gran Torino, often I don't feel like going out of the base with my gun, yelling "get off my lawn", Clint Eastwood style.

[manic garden]

am i the only one who thinks this looks cozy af?

[onyx river]

I like it too. That's something I love about SN and BZ. They've created so many beautiful and interesting life forms. A coral-like plant growing under a biological "glass dome", a giant leviathan with long tentacles clawed to the seafloor, kelp that glows in the dark and intelligent animals that can mimic human behaviour... This ecosystem is so lively I love it.

[manic garden]

i still can't get the image of a curious seamonkey stealing my seaglide and accidentally pushes the on button and gets taken away with it at high speeds as you hear it scream

it does sound like something that they could do XD

[manic garden]

wonder what the world looks like through the eyes of a seamonkey🤔

[keen dagger]

Ok so I got good stuff and am currently making the dive suit, can someone please tell me where to find a spiral plant clipping.

[manic garden]

look after a creature named dobby, he'll trade you spiral plant clippings in exchange for resources

[eternal garnet]

it's rare, two places: Deep below the tiny wreck "thrusters", or inside an adult vent garden. Plant is white/red

[keen dagger]

Possibly the wreck I just explored with the water machine, correct?

[manic garden]

can't you get those from the deep lillypad?

[eternal garnet]

no. But in the black biome south of delta, a huge ... thing. inside it

[manic garden]

i meant the spiral bridge biome

the one in lillypad

deep below lillypad

i forgor name

[eternal garnet]

if you have found a synthetic fibers, and can recycle it, that's a way. Clipping is plantable

[keen dagger]

Oh yes I did find one, ooof! Thank you both <3

[eternal garnet]

recyclotron needed

[keen dagger]

What's that?

[eternal garnet]

it's a gift from finding artifacts

[keen dagger]

Oh, I see.

It takes longer to find the PPU scans than to make the PPU :/

[eternal garnet]

it's not hard to get once you find the vent garden leviathan

[keen dagger]

3 of the most common things in the game

geesh

I was thinking to create it took like some very rare ore or something.

[eternal garnet]

recyclotron is just to un-craft a synthetic fiber

[keen dagger]

Oh I see that makes sense it has the word "recycle" kind of in it

I now have a dive suit :)

[manic garden]

i wish i had the dive suit...

all i have is the cold suit

[warped hemlock]

Alright favorite fish in the game go!

[manic garden]

seamonkey

[warped hemlock]

They are cute but they steal my stuff!

Little turkeys >_>

[manic garden]

they do that at the start

[obsidian bough]

WOW this chat is bussin

Im so happy to see the Subnautica fandom coming to life with the annouincement of S2.

[manic garden]

then they give you what you need for said pinned recipe

[eternal garnet]

on pc, quickly press E to stop them. Yes stealing is temporary

[warped hemlock]

Oh yeah I just found out that sn2 is coming to console in early access so I am hyped!

[manic garden]

Subnautica 2: Electric Bugaloo

[obsidian bough]

im actually surprised tbh. i play on pc soooo i knew we was getting it

[warped hemlock]

Yeah I was surprised and excited too ^_^ I can’t wait!!!!!

[obsidian bough]

well atleast u console users wont be left out xD

[warped hemlock]

Indeed!

[obsidian bough]

that means more players when it releases

[warped hemlock]

Yusssssshhhhh me and a friend will definitely be playing night of release

[obsidian bough]

SAME. Im hype for both Subnautica 2 AND Monster Hunter Wilds

[warped hemlock]

Me too!

[obsidian bough]

those two games are my must haves for 2025.

[warped hemlock]

Same! I started playing world to get ready for wilds

[obsidian bough]

World is amazing

and Iceborne too

[warped hemlock]

Indeedy! My first MH was monster hunter tri on the Wii

[prisma prism]

I can’t believe there are fish in subnautica

[keen dagger]

I know right!

[mental mortar]

Fish? In my water game? How could they

[north kraken]

I know why it's called below zero, because you're in the water zero percent of the time lol

Just a theory

[coral siren]

It can also be taken as you go below sector zero

Alot of the story beats are under water despite what people think

[eternal garnet]

Wait, you need to go into the water?

[coral siren]

No meatie, that was all lies and deceit

[north kraken]

There's water?

[eternal garnet]

I saw a lot of it, yes

[north kraken]

Also how is the ice worm a leviathan it's not in the water

[coral siren]

Why is the frozen leviathan a leviathan when it looks more built for land

[north kraken]

Yea, why do they call the glow whale a leviathan

When a leviathan class creature is a thing that kills you

[coral siren]

That's.. not even in the least bit true

[sterile violet]

Mud levithan lol

[sterile violet]

No

Vent garden and glow whale
