[hollow lily]

wrong one

[fallen rivet]

Which side of the bridge is this

[hollow lily]

Instead of going across the bridge, go to the left of the bridge. There will then be two caves. Either one will lead to Phi Robotics Center

[fallen rivet]

Okay thank you so much

[hollow lily]

Np

Either path (Paths on the left and right) will lead to Phi Robotics Center

Also, yes I am flying in the photo.

[carmine stratus]

Okay so I've just started up BZ for the first time and so far I've made a seaglide and all the tools I have the blueprints for and scanned and collected a lot of materials and fauna, but I'm not really sure what to do now... The fabricator doesn't have a habitat builder blueprint and I've gone through everything in my databank and haven't found anything that points me in any particular direction

What am I supposed to do now lol

[fallen rivet]

Seamoth?

[carmine stratus]

Oh I meant seaglide lol

[fallen rivet]

Go to delta island

And get a seatruck

[carmine stratus]

Oh, cool now I finally got a weird morse code transmission

[fallen rivet]

Yes I think you get a distress signal too

Throughout the game you’ll get pings of different things

[carmine stratus]

Yeah I've played the original game lol

This lifepod just doesn't have a radio or a habitat builder so there's not as much to go off of

[fallen rivet]

Well the pings in this game are pretty different and annoying

[carmine stratus]

Ahh

[nocturne wind]

yo mama

[carmine stratus]

Okay so I've obtained all the blueprints for a sea truck but I don't think there's anything for a mobile vehicle bay...

[carmine stratus]

Alright I found the habitat builder, still no clue how to make the sea truck without a mobile vehicle bay though

Ohhh I finally found the vehicle bay fragments, thank god for the mineral detector lol

[fallen rivet]

Everything takes fragments

[carmine stratus]

Yeah I was just confused because I didn't see any sign of those fragments until I found a very hidden crevice

[fallen rivet]

Yeah everything’s spread out

[lunar spruce]

I heard you don't go very deep in BZ as you do in OG

Tbh, kinda nervous about playing if that's true. I liked going deep, so deep you can't see the sun.

[steel stream]

Oh, you still go to places where you can't see the sun...

[pale palm]

||This girl even in the subnautica bz i really wonder who is this girl there's lot of theories ||

[smoky zinc]

she looks like she's from fortnite 😭😭

[pale palm]

maybee

in future you can transform the any fortnite character you want

and this girl turned to fortnite character?

lol

[shut saddle]

does anyone know where the ice worn area is

i cannot find it

[pale palm]

go through the bridge

[shadow condor]

||She looks like a genderswapped Ryley to me||

[pale palm]

if you wanna see ice worm just use suban exosuit and do a speed boost bug with grapple arm

that makes lot of sounds and ice worm just comes to give you hugs

[shut saddle]

which side of the map is that on? I just got the game today

[shadow condor]

Phi robotics

[pale palm]

Well

Ryley is popular! in different universe.

[shadow condor]

It's in the direction of the emergency cache beacon

[pale palm]

||i forgot where is cave that have big leviathan and i can't find it now.||

[pale palm]

||for that you have to go acroos this place||

[shut saddle]

where is that

is it near the lifepod thing?

[shadow condor]

||have you been to delta island? Cuz there should be a map there that can help||

I cannot spell today

[shut saddle]

nah not yet im tryna figure out where everything is still

[shadow condor]

Then I'd recommend going there first

Personally

[shut saddle]

alright

[pale palm]

far away i think 1500-1900 meter away

[shut saddle]

aight let me go look around

[shadow condor]

If u need further help I can always share a photo of the ||map you find in delta station||

[shut saddle]

i cannot find the bridge

nevermind

[fallen rivet]

What’s better drill arm or normal arm for SL

[ember tree]

With drill arm you can drill but with normal you can only pick up items and hit

[chilly crane]

bioreactor fuel is hatching

[chilly crane]

lol

[formal sorrel]

BZ land exploration was so boring, it just felt so empty and coldness mechanic wasnt a challenge like a survival thing like oxygen or anything, it was just annoying

[grave tangle]

Hi! What hull strength should I aim for at my base? Currently it's 18 with a moon pool, a scanner room and 4 multipurpose rooms

[abstract tinsel]

anything above 0 is fine

my base is at 0.1 base strength

@grave tangle

[grave tangle]

Thanks a mill! I can imagine a single titanium thread holding all your rooms together 😄

[grave tangle]

Ohh no, is it every module for itself? I just saw a bunch of my modules are at negative individually

[steel shoal]

If you mean damage, punch deals almost double the damage per second

[steel shoal]

No, it's base-wise

You can have a room full of windows and another full of reinforcements

[grave tangle]

Thanks! I was looking at the rooms in the control room so I'm guessing it's just showing me how much each one affects the structural integrity

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah

The 3-4 land fauna were cool for the most part ||they did the iceworm dirty|| but mostly uninteresting

[fallen rivet]

So double normal prawn suit is good?

[fallen rivet]

I mean for killing leviathans

[ember tree]

drill

[obsidian carbon]

I beg to differ
It’s anything but boring when you’re being accosted by angry ||ice worms||

[fallen rivet]

Other dude said normal punch does double damage so idk

[steel shoal]

I guess. Punch deals 50 damage per second, Drill deals 30 dps. Though not many people know this, and think the drill is good.

[ember tree]

I just like drill

[drowsy dragon]

hi guys what item do I need to build the base?

as in which device

[eternal garnet]

the Habitat builder tool. Find it at ||120m depth in twisty bridges by a little building||

@drowsy dragon

[drowsy dragon]

I found its schematics. so okay, now i need to build that first. cool thanks

[eternal garnet]

if you didn't also find High capacity o2, go there anyway

[drowsy dragon]

I need to build that also haha

btw that floating storage is it any useful? I build two but now I am thinking is it a waste? lol

[eternal garnet]

only early game. So avoid making more

[drowsy dragon]

yes now it is just collecting storage space

[eternal garnet]

btw, save often. Always carry a beacon

[drowsy dragon]

yes, I have deployed a few beacons recently for cool locations.

and saving is my biggest hurdle thats why I want to build another base asap

[eternal garnet]

well, I meant carry. For reasons if you die

[drowsy dragon]

oo so if you have beacon and you die then what?

[eternal garnet]

it renames and drops to mark your items

[drowsy dragon]

is that automatic?

[eternal garnet]

yes, if you carry one

[drowsy dragon]

cool thanks for the advice mate

[slow axle]

Lowk still boring

[smoky zinc]

spongebob pfp

[stiff rose]

shoudl i get below zero guys

[worldly yoke]

i love this game yall

please no spoilers tho

i just found frozen levi idk if im supposed to be here

im gonna explore on the door side of the base things

or

idk im just going

there is this big red worm

should i be worried

look how silly!

WJAT IS THAT

nope

nope im not doing this

he is chill
but i cant bro

this game is scarier then subnautica one

blood kelp area??

its giving thatbut nothin is attacking me

yet

[smoky zinc]

i would say yes, it's a pretty fun game just don't constantly compare it to SN1 and you'll enjoy it a lot more

[smoky zinc]

a little guy

[worldly yoke]

im enjoying this more then og subnautica

and its more scary frfr

[stiff rose]

there no way below zero is more scary

[worldly yoke]

i think it is lol

[smoky zinc]

i don't agree with it being more scary but i guess everyone is scared of different things lol

[worldly yoke]

ive only seen a red worm thing guy

really big one

[smoky zinc]

||chelicerate or ice worm?||

[worldly yoke]

should i click it

before i do

[smoky zinc]

just a question of which creature it is

[worldly yoke]

i found it in water

[smoky zinc]

okay that answers it

[worldly yoke]

like that guy but huge

[smoky zinc]

you can click this one it's a ||chelicerate||

[worldly yoke]

thats a funny name

lol

do i need depth module for the "last known pilot location thing?
"

for my whats it called

seamoth thing

i can get it either way

[smoky zinc]

i think so

[worldly yoke]

i have the glass things and some lithium

[smoky zinc]

i would make it then

[worldly yoke]

ok

[smoky zinc]

cause otherwise you will probably have to swim some of the way and risk drowning

[daring shard]

below zero is scarier than subnautica?

[worldly yoke]

||chelicerate||

[daring shard]

I'd think most people would say the opposite

[worldly yoke]

yeah in my opinion

[worldly yoke]

i like it MORE idk]

ive heard a lot of hate for it

[worldly yoke]

oops idrk how to do spoilers

[worldly yoke]

i hope i dont find one of these

[smoky zinc]

there is a lot of hate because people don't stop comparing it to the 1st game but on its own it's a wonderful game imo

like it doesn't fulfill some categories as much as SN1 did but it's not a bad game

[worldly yoke]

i didnt find any of the SN1 leviathans scary

they were so goofy to me

the scariest one was the sea treader and the reefback

[smoky zinc]

dude reaper territory had me tweaking you're brave for that

[worldly yoke]

because i was traveling for the first time and saw a reefback

and sea treaders were also a one time thing

[smoky zinc]

sea treaders are a little creepy

[worldly yoke]

because i was exploring and heard that ear piercing screach

i had no problems dunes, crash zone, or mountains

sea monkeys are so W

one just gave me a diamond

[smoky zinc]

they're cute

[worldly yoke]

frfr

ill beat them to a pulp if they take my stuff tho

[smoky zinc]

LMAO i saw that for the half second it was displayed

[worldly yoke]

strict automod fr

one thing that makes me so mad tho...

[smoky zinc]

it literally is it was trying to stop me from saying al-an is hot bro

[worldly yoke]

BAHAHAHA

is the pda voice...
i have nothing against indians, but...

[smoky zinc]

no cause the new pda voice was so lame i wish they didn't switch it

[worldly yoke]

it annoys me so hard

[smoky zinc]

real

[worldly yoke]

who tf is sam

[smoky zinc]

robin's sister

[worldly yoke]

what??

tf happened

[smoky zinc]

you'll find out that's like the plot of the game 😭

[worldly yoke]

oh

i didnt even know sam existed

[smoky zinc]

LMAO

[worldly yoke]

maybe pda told me lol

i just ignored

that was found in one of if not the most dangerous part of sn1

how am i supposed to get that

did they like replace cave sulfur

[stiff rose]

bruh since when did u need cs for repair

[worldly yoke]

i havent even found a crash fish

am i cooked

[daring shard]

there aren't crash fish in below zero iirc

[worldly yoke]

how do you get cs then

[daring shard]

you don't

eh I forget lol

[worldly yoke]

oh lol

[daring shard]

I think you find it somewhere around your safe area

[worldly yoke]

||ok ive found a chelicerate||

is that safe area?

ok i got safe diving dephth 1

for my seamothtruck

[steel stream]

Yes there are (it's shown even in the trailer). But that's not the only option to gwt sulfur

[worldly yoke]

just found a crashfish!

[steel stream]

And basically they chose to use crystalline sulfur icon and name instead of cave sulfur

[worldly yoke]

yay

is this safe chat

[hallow valley]

Yea

[worldly yoke]

aight

i only have 300m crush depth tho

[hallow valley]

oh

[worldly yoke]

not yet?

[daring shard]

hm, I don't remember them

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worldly yoke]

they exist

[daring shard]

when I complete my replay of subnautica I'll get back to below zero

[worldly yoke]

oml al-an just jumpscared me

i was just chillin right]

i heard a screach and alan scared me so hard

WHAT

i looked at smthn and it made my vision all ehwewh

stopp im too scared

GGS GUYS

[kind peak]

Im in school rn i was drawing some random things because i was bored and it started looking like al-an body lol

[hallow valley]

hes not scary

i mean scary but dont do many damage

[worldly yoke]

it does 60% of health

[hallow valley]

bro what

[worldly yoke]

||chelisirates||

they do so much damage

[hallow valley]

ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh

[worldly yoke]

what

[hallow valley]

nvm

me forgot

[worldly yoke]

oh you thought it was the baby?

[hallow valley]

no

when it attacket you

have you been in seatruck?

[worldly yoke]

i was in seatruck

[hallow valley]

ok

[hallow valley]

have you been in this last known position?

[worldly yoke]

i tried lol

[hallow valley]

oh

||chelicarete|| is cute imo

[worldly yoke]

bro

its so scary istg

[hallow valley]

its not

[worldly yoke]

yes it is bro

[hallow valley]

its not 😭 🙏

[worldly yoke]

yes it is

its scarier then all of sn1's leviathans

be so real rn

[hallow valley]

bro is NOT scarier than ghost 😭 🙏

[worldly yoke]

ghost was NOT scary

bro looks like a big, glowing, hammerhead peeper

[hallow valley]

bro

you think this is scary?

you didn met other leviathans

[worldly yoke]

you prolly think this cutie is scary bro

[hallow valley]

nah

he is actually cool

i tried to give him fish but he eat me instead ( i love him ❤️ )

[tight glen]

what am i supposed to do in the snow worm biome

is it only for the architect tissue?

[drowsy dragon]

how do you make seamonkeys friend?

[hallow valley]

its random i think

they stole my scanner like 2 times and after that thay star giving me materials

[drowsy dragon]

oo weird, so let them steal something from you hahaha

[hallow valley]

I think it works because they feel some guilt and give you the materials as an apology

idk

[bold monolith]

It's related to ||Al-An||.

They're friendly towards him, not you.

[hallow valley]

that makes sense too

[carmine bobcat]

Taking ||him out of my head was the worst decision possible when constructing in the lilypads||

[keen dagger]

I agree! One chased me and tried to steal my sea glide.

I think they are cute though.

[shy notch]

spoiler alert! - Chat, i just finished the game atlast 😄

[carmine bobcat]

You don’t have a spoiler on the image?

Huh that’s weird
Now you do

That’s the 2nd time discord’s done this
When you open a channel the first image is immediately shown, regardless of if it has a spoiler tag or not

[drowsy dragon]

and here I am finally just started to build my first base lol

in process died a 1000 times lol

also guys I need another advice, how can I make my new base? like it doesnt show on my map. so at the moment I have just dropped a beacon next to it lol

[eternal garnet]

Beacon is the answer, until you get a control room. it has a beacon in it

[drowsy dragon]

okay so I have to make a control room and then It will show

[eternal garnet]

you don't have to

[drowsy dragon]

I have the sematics for it but have to build it

[eternal garnet]

it's kinda nice. For a large base

[drowsy dragon]

I am planning to build a big base hahaha

second question, how can i put a platform on iceberg?

it seems I can only build a base under water

[eternal garnet]

best to not use a platform. Actually they are kinda useless

Bases do not need platforms

When you build a hatch on land, you will see

[drowsy dragon]

oo so they are just aesthetics ?

[eternal garnet]

Reinforcements, or planter holders, or prawn floor below moon pool

[drowsy dragon]

interesting

thanks @eternal garnet

[eternal garnet]

Your main base should be in the water though

and at least 10m deep

[drowsy dragon]

this is my base right now

[eternal garnet]

oh you didn't connect the round room

[drowsy dragon]

I will, I ran out of resources

[eternal garnet]

change tube to a T piece to connect

and maybe remove the foundation. Difficult to do

the right one

[drowsy dragon]

I will make it bigger to make it aesthatically pleasing and I might have two floors lol

I want to put a bed and an office and everything hahaha

[eternal garnet]

did I say save often?

[drowsy dragon]

I just want to enjoy building a huge base

[drowsy dragon]

yes you did

[drowsy dragon]

is that an observatory?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[drowsy dragon]

yes, I plan to put it below the round room

also I am thinking maybe I will build a couple of small bases right here, but way below, so that I dont have to go up all the time for air.

so lets say one base 100 m below and then 150m etc

[eternal garnet]

eeh. This plan is wrong when you have the truck

it's not hard to get, and upgrade depth on

[last arrow]

why i think it looks cute?

[eternal garnet]

but it is cute

[drowsy dragon]

I am still working to get it

[shy notch]

i love my base

howz it 🙂

[drowsy dragon]

amazing mate

[shy notch]

thank you thank you

[drowsy dragon]

I like having multiple floors

that what I want to do for my base also

[shy notch]

nice idea and efficient

would have been better if climbing ladders had animation

[drowsy dragon]

hahaha yes

honestly I wish we could play this multiplayer

[shy notch]

subnautica 2 is coming just wait 🔥

[drowsy dragon]

with a bunch of people and build a huge base

I hope it is available for mac

[shy notch]

oo

[static rain]

@shadow pumice tell me why below zero is better

[inner flower]

Just started BZ after not playing for a few years. I'm lost in it all over again

[merry harbor]

That do be the cycle..

[bitter junco]

below zero is beautiful

[next current]

There's these things called Beacons so that you can mark important locations where you've been before that you've deemed important.

[hallow valley]

What have i done...😭😕

[merry harbor]

Messed up.

Youve killed innocent children. Bad anikin. Back to your universe.

[hallow valley]

I killed their mother

[merry harbor]

Reverse anikin.

[hallow valley]

F it

Im killing children too

[merry harbor]

NO

[hallow valley]

Ok

[merry harbor]

Steal them

Actually. Make a base there and watch over them for eternity. This is your punishment.

[hallow valley]

🤔

Nahh

I got a better idea

I just left them without food and mother

[carmine bobcat]

You could feed them

[hallow valley]

Idc

[merry harbor]

Cruel creature.

[carmine bobcat]

Maybe…we’re the real monsters

[hard pond]

i just spawned 1000 ||shadow leviathans|| and my pc i think will POP soon...

okay he did

[eternal garnet]

that window is not a crash. it's windows not getting a reply from the app. You can usually just wait longer

[icy rune]

Lol why Prawn is so easy to build in BZ

[abstract glade]

maybe its just my impression but im replaying early acces of BZ (8.1) and some components are pretty hard to find

[eternal garnet]

yes, it's not finished. that's part of the "polish"

balancing and finding stuck points

[abstract glade]

I really enjoy that early access version, im just wondering if it is ,,completable" and I wont stuck because of unfinished development

[eternal garnet]

the very end is missing. There is nothing after ||building alan||

[abstract glade]

Thanks, will keep this in mind. Didn't reach that point yet but glad it just require me to explore a bit more instead wondering if i got dead end 😄

[eternal garnet]

it's not really broken. you can still get there without commands

But some progress hints may be missing

[fallen rivet]

Why is this dead thing making noises AND moving?

[smoky zinc]

this is so awesome!! brute and squid shark look really cool

[polar ridge]

The mods are getting too serious with the rules

At least my drawings were below zero rralted

[azure ocean]

how do you guys navigate without a map

[bold monolith]

Beacons, you can find a map at the Delta Station with some landmarks.

Another one in a base, a sketch.

For a specific area.

[azure ocean]

yeah but I need an underwater one

and I don't wanna cheat by googling

[bold monolith]

Just place beacons everywhere. At some point you'll know where to go to find stuff without any.

[azure ocean]

idk but like the pink geyser biome is huge

[azure ocean]

dude I can't get to ||artifact Q59||

[bold monolith]

It's in Koppa.

[carmine bobcat]

I think it’s one of the medium sized water biomes

[steel stream]

Same beacon can be placed underwater or on land

[low fiber]

does alan still give u artifact locations after he his in his body

[quasi gulch]

why would he?

[low fiber]

Ye you're right I am trying to make the teleportain module but I need more artifacts for it but I ahve already discovered all the body parts and the fabricator facility so I'm left with YouTube

[azure ocean]

guys am I dumb cause I can't find lithium

[carmine bobcat]

Search around
||thermal spires|| or ||purple vents||

[azure ocean]

I had to google

It's so hard to miss it's crazy

[carmine bobcat]

Get a scanner room or ||mineral detector||

[azure ocean]

can you upgrade the detector?

[carmine bobcat]

The range? No

All you can do is just swim around holding it for the specific item, then wait for it to go PING
Then follow the blue dot

[azure ocean]

omg you can't buil inside of the seatruck

[carmine bobcat]

Correct
You need to find modules which provide different functions

[azure ocean]

what are the ||cotton magma red mushroom caves|| called?

[carmine bobcat]

||Grand Cotton Anemone|| to my understanding

The biome itself is ||deep lily pad||

[azure ocean]

mb I was asking for the biome btu I googled it already

needed to name a beacon

[icy rune]

Damn bro rly wants me 👉👈

[carmine bobcat]

The shrimps are for some reason super aggressive or completely ignoring you depending on the day

[icy rune]

Real

[azure ocean]

they're so agro for no reason

squidsharks are so nice tho

[carmine bobcat]

I wish Squidshark grabbed onto seatruck like they do in the trailer

[worn egret]

How do I get high capactity o2 tank? In the og game it’s given to u but I don’t have the blueprints

And exploring the ||lilypad islands|| is a pita with 75 o2

[carmine bobcat]

Data box in ||twisty bridges||

[worn egret]

Twisty bridges is pretty big…is it the deep portion or near the lifepod?

[eternal garnet]

its at exactly 120m by a little building

[worn egret]

Thanks!

[azure ocean]

I think the devs thought it would make it too similar to the chelicerate

[fallen rivet]

What do I do if I’m not getting any artifact pings

[steel stream]

Explore

[north kraken]

How do I not get bored while playing bz

[eternal garnet]

get a pet, and let it follow you. Don't use perimeter defense when it's following

[pallid reef]

slug muffin

[fallen rivet]

Don’t play it then

[hazy rain]

or try multiplayer mod

[fallen rivet]

Very buggy

[hazy rain]

release is coming december 20

not as buggy as early access subnautica

remember when table coral used to shatter

[carmine bobcat]

Just make it do no damage, and instead sucks a large amount of power

Or it could just be a jumpscare that serves 0 purpose

[carmine bobcat]

• Base for every biome that includes alien containments for relevant species
• Leviathan observatory
• Capture a leviathan using vortex torpedos and I columns
• Kill a leviathan (I’d suggest the void Chelicerate since more of a challenge + they respawn)
• Make an army of pengwings

[carmine bobcat]

Question:
what will eat/attack trivalves

And can I put a trivalve back into containment

[eternal garnet]

only the truck and peri defense.
No

[carmine bobcat]

So like a leviathan will just ignore trivalves?

[eternal garnet]

I believe so

[carmine bobcat]

I don’t know if I’m willing to test this theory

[hallow valley]

Is this base good? Sorry if u cant se anything

[eternal garnet]

sure why not

[carmine bobcat]

I don’t think there’s really anything that’s a “bad base” so long as it isn’t flooding

[smoky zinc]

it looks cool but omg why are there so many hoopfish schools😭😭

[hallow valley]

Idk😭🗣️

[worn egret]

In my book, scanner room and moon pool is enough for a base to be good lol

[carmine bobcat]

hi guys, I need help. I reaches the greenhouse and picked up the pda's, however I was busy exploring that I forgot to check the name of the pda's. does someone know them as I cannot find them

[carmine bobcat]

“||I'd Rather be Hunting”||
“||Just A Couple of Friends, Talking”||

thanks

[fallen rivet]

What do I do if ||al an|| isn’t giving me artifact locations anymore

[carmine bobcat]

Explore naturally

[fallen rivet]

Yes I spent like 20 minutes killing SL looking for new artifacts

But idk where they would be

[carmine bobcat]

Which artefacts are you looking for?

[fallen rivet]

I’m not sure 😭

[carmine bobcat]

Ok
||You have visited Crystal caverns correct?||

[broken badge]

Natural exploration of the game will have you find most of them. Which they mostly unlock tech for you. Really that’s the point, and some dialog

[fallen rivet]

||I’ve just been following along the story and he stopped giving me pings when I got to the one in the vertical hole with the chelicerate above it||

[fallen rivet]

Can’t wait to go through a million caves

[fallen rivet]

Yes

[carmine bobcat]

Great
Two things of importance there

• ||A cache that contains plot relevant stuff for AL-AN||
• ||A connection to another biome (red crystals) that contains plot relevant stuff for AL-AN||

Explore around and try to find both

[fallen rivet]

Yes I know about that biome can you give me any info on where they might be? Like maybe something I should look out for

[carmine bobcat]

Ok so basically
||There is a base inside the red crystals called the fabricator base, you can construct body parts for AL-AN there||

||1 part can be found in the crystal caverns, it’s under the usual part (not the fissures). The deeper SL patrols it||
||1 part can be found in the deep lily pad caves (cotton shroom caves)||
||1 can be found in the north section of artic spires||

Iiirc, all architect locations, minus the ||fabricator|| should have ion cubes in/close to them

So using a scanner to search for ion cubes should give the game away

[fallen rivet]

Okay thank you for the help

[vast idol]

I wish there was a mod or smthing that allows you to harvest and plants more flora

like the hiveminds

[queen timber]

oh yeaaahhhh

[fallen rivet]

Is there a fast way in getting lead?

[keen dagger]

I found plenty in the biome with the vents. Also around twisty bridges.

[smoky moon]

ya you need fo go to h*****

[broken badge]

There are no large lead deposits, so you got to find the galena rocks for lead

[stiff rose]

guys should i got bz

looks cool

[carmine stratus]

Well it depends lol

I'm playing it for the first time rn and I'm enjoying the base building more, but the game is noticably harder than the first one, sometimes in not very fun ways

[stiff rose]

many people dont like it

[carmine stratus]

I've been playing for a while and I still haven't found a bunch of things I'm trying to find like more vehicle modules and upgrades, base building parts like a containment unit, etc

The map is smaller, exploration is a bit less intuitive, the swimming and the seaglide are slower, some enemies are way more agressive than even the leviathans in the original game, the story is interesting but kinda difficult to navigate

[bleak pebble]

help where do i go now, ||i just explored that place with the ice snake and found the crystal cave||

[carmine bobcat]

Ain’t hivemind fauna?

[carmine bobcat]

What

[coral siren]

Gross

[carmine bobcat]

I think you’re looking for #off-topic

[north terrace]

Oh yeah

[icy rune]

NAH XD

"Scan all you want"

[steel shoal]

Funny that the only example you gave isn't even a plant. It's a stationary creature (fauna). But I agree that most plants should be harvestable.

[coral siren]

You just wanna put the grand majority of plants in your base

[coral siren]

Go post in #memes-and-media

[mortal void]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[vast idol]

well err

[vast idol]

still it would be cool to have like, vertical water plant farm things for verticle flora

and also the hivemind

[steel magnet]

Is there more than one ending?

[coral siren]

I guess there's technically two but not really

[carmine bobcat]

Nope
Always 1, there’s just optional stuff you can do

[remote plover]

performance of Subnautica is awful for my pc until i turn off the internet

[slow moss]

do you have anyone else on the network?

[remote plover]

7 others

other games are fine

[slow moss]

bandwith is prolly nonexistant

[remote plover]

yes but Subnautica doesn't need internet

[slow moss]

try to move your computer to a diffrent place in the house

yes but other aplications are trying top get interne

or subnautica is somehow running off iinternet

[slow moss]

ohhh

[eternal garnet]

maybe your game came with a crypto miner

This is the most logical explanation I think

[remote plover]

lmao

[slow moss]

oh. my. god. i did it i ran across the ice worms area barefoot with half health and got to the archetect basd

[thorny carbon]

||after making Alan’s body, should I go through the portal?||

I feel like I still have a lot missing

[eternal garnet]

Yes. After endgame, you can load the save and continue living in your base and stuff. Pet the fishes

[thorny carbon]

wait so after I help him out and everything I can leave the game and rejoin to my save before helping him?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[thorny carbon]

so I’m done with the game?

[eternal garnet]

the portal starts a short endgame

[thorny carbon]

so everything else is extra?

like the frozen leviathan

[eternal garnet]

yes

sadly not required, but why not do it

[thorny carbon]

oh

where is it

[eternal garnet]

frozen guy? ||South west on the phi map there's a tree area. North of that, by a radio mast||

[hazy rain]

yep

in the cave

[thorny carbon]

is it better to use prawn suit or snowfox to travel along the snow

[carmine bobcat]

Prawn suit + grappling hook

[thorny carbon]

yea I’m using thst

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah
Make sure to jump each time, for extra velocity

The only “downside” is you take like 25% damage from ||ice worms||

[ember night]

whenever I open a box and get a flare or some other useless item It’s like I’m opening presents at Christmas and got socks

[carmine bobcat]

Flare does have more use in BZ

[hazy rain]

true

scares ||snow stalkers ||and sea monkeys

[carmine stratus]

How do I use the thermos?

Am I missing something lol

[carmine bobcat]

Use it on coffee machines

[carmine stratus]

Ohhhh that makes sense

[open radish]

Yeah you put them in the coffee machines.

Just finished below zero and realized this server exists so I decided to pop in.

[hallow valley]

How to set spoilers on phone

bruh

[carmine bobcat]

Place “||” before and after you sentence

[hallow valley]

||bruh||

I knew it

[carmine bobcat]

Do you think the ||ice worm|| should’ve been present in the glacial basin?

I feel it was extremely underutilised in BZ.

[hallow valley]

||If i kill every shadow leviathan in crystal caves, they will respawn or its will be safe area?||

[keen dagger]

They don't respawn

[carmine bobcat]

||They only respawn if major update occurs||

[keen dagger]

Really? So they won't respawn lol

[carmine bobcat]

Pretty much

Unless like they decide to add something from SN2 in 4 years time 🤷‍♂️

Sort of like large rooms and SN1

[open radish]

I personally feel like that wouldn't have worked || the ice worms need the area designed around them for it to work. The basin just isn't set up for that, and all the alterra stuff there wouldn't make sense if the ice worms were there. also since my first snowfox glitched through the ground this playthrough I ended up using the P.R.A.W.N suit to traverse on land, which made me feel extremely safe. ||

|| I did discover the worms will eat snow stalkers though ||

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah they do that occasionally

[keen dagger]

yeah pretty nice right

[carmine bobcat]

||Ice worms being present could’ve been explained via the explosion set off, the vibrations attracted them, which caused an evacuation||

[open radish]

If anything i think it would've been cool if the lad area where the worms were was bigger.

But I am not a game dev so idk what would be feasible

[carmine bobcat]

I wonder what land areas will be like for SN2

[fierce tundra]

if there are going to be

[carmine bobcat]

I figure they will
In some capacity

But yeah, maybe it would be good if they didn’t actually have any

[fierce tundra]

my opinion? maybe one, two islands as it was in subnautica with really low gameplay time on them

or yeah, even no islands maybe

[carmine bobcat]

1 island

It’s the size of the player with a single palm tree

[fierce tundra]

SO REAL

[carmine bobcat]

herro chat

[hallow valley]

What can i do after i kill || every shadow lev??||

[keen dagger]

Have you beat the game?

[hallow valley]

Yea

[carmine stratus]

Is there any particular reason I shouldn't build a base here? Because woahhh this place is so pretty. The ||vent garden||s are so cute!!

[fallen rivet]

There’s a leviathan there

[carmine stratus]

Woah no way

[keen dagger]

Find something else to play

that's what I do.

[eternal garnet]

it's nice, but called tree spires. Vent garden is ||the jellyfish||

[carmine stratus]

Yeah the ||vent garden|| is harmless right

[hazy rain]

yes

[eternal garnet]

it is. useful even

[carmine stratus]

So the only hostile creatures I've seen in that area are a couple brute sharks

[hazy rain]

well you will be suprised...

[eternal garnet]

no there's one red shrimp

[hazy rain]

*two

[carmine stratus]

Oh, huh

I'm sure it'll be fine..

[hazy rain]

get seatruck perimeter defense and you will be fine

[carmine stratus]

Yeah I already have that

[hazy rain]

good 🙂

[carmine stratus]

Oh I found out why I wasn't seeing any of the red guys, it's because it seems like they tend to stay up closer to the surface or above 150m, meanwhile my base is at 300m so I'll pretty much never see them except for occasionally when I'm leaving or entering my base

Although there are some lily paddlers hanging around which are annoying sometimes but mostly easily avoidable

[ancient flower]

Whats a good spot to look for laser cutter frags?

havent done bz in a while so i forgot lol

[carmine stratus]

I've found a couple from sea monkey nests but I still have yet to find a third

[carmine stratus]

So I've finally built my new base up a good bit and this is the view

I think it's perfect

[keen dagger]

Nice

[carmine bobcat]

There’s two vent gardens

1 shrimp patrols the north one
The other patrols at ~60 near the NW border

[carmine stratus]

Yeah I've only seen that first one a single time and I haven't seen it since so it's barely an issue

Much friendlier biome than the purple vent things anyways

It's also kinda close to the area with the massive lily pads which I like

[alpine cairn]

Is below zero as good as normal subnautication? Just about to finish the game according to my friend and gonna play below zero immediately

[stoic surge]

Most players who enjoyed the OG also like BZ

[steel stream]

Don't expect it to be exactly like the first game and you will like it.

[alpine cairn]

Yeah Ive been told it’s different in some aspects

I know there’s a lot more land gameplay because of the ice

[steel stream]

Another major difference is that you're not alone all the time.

[sharp quest]

is below zero any good on mac

i got it with subnautica on steam for a discount so i wanna know if its worth playing

[thick moat]

can someone help me

idk what to do

[thick moat]

at frist i thought it bad but when i played it worth it

[eternal garnet]

yes it runs fine. On some macs graphics are garbled. Come back for an easy fix

[honest halo]

I saw some youtuber saying base building is quite an upgrade from og subnautica? How though?

[eternal garnet]

well, a lot of it got backported to SN1. Large room, hatch with stairs on land, glass domes

Control room didn't make it over. And seatruck dock, for some reason

[kind peak]

It would be nice to have control room in sn1 but seatruck dock would be useless

[eternal garnet]

why? it's so pretty

[kind peak]

But theres no seatruck in sn1

[eternal garnet]

I am joking

[kind peak]

Wait

Now im thinking

What about trying to swim inside seatruck dock

With cyclops

[eternal garnet]

allegedly, the BZ multiplayer mod will release a free beta on December 20. Meaning no longer alpha state

[fading star]

Why does my scanner room look like this?

[kind peak]

@eternal garnet i have a question whats the diffrence between playtesters and playtesters. ?

[kind peak]

Wdym

[fading star]

wait, maybe I confused myself

[eternal garnet]

nothing important. discord perms

[fading star]

nvm

I thought it had a different function

confused the control room with the scanner room for a moment

[kind peak]

How tho

[fading star]

by forgetting the control room and scanner room were separate things

[honest halo]

What is control room?

I forgot 🙂

[merry harbor]

A room for controlling 💯💯💯

Controlling what i dont know.

[eternal garnet]

it's a beacon, it shows a 3d map where you can disable room power, shows time, integrity, power usage

[merry harbor]

Oh right that thing.

[keen dagger]

When I played I just built the basic stuff, and also the ||sea truck dock||

But the control room sounds pretty cool.

[kind peak]

Control room is 10/10

U can change base color and its beacon

[keen dagger]

Oooh you convinced me!

I shall build le control room

[honest halo]

Wait that's a room in subnautica 1???

[eternal garnet]

no, it didn't get backported

[honest halo]

Oh i understood it backwards lol

👀

They wanted people to do more base building? Large room, control room, ...

Also is there an alien containment?

E G G S

[west mountain]

Yes, alien containment tanks are in the game for multipurpose and large room and stackable.

[honest halo]

Thanks!

[hallow valley]

is it possible to find eggs and hatch bigger creatures? like ||chelicarates or vent gardens||

[bold monolith]

No, but there are glow whale eggs.

[hallow valley]

o m g where

[bold monolith]

Lilypads.

[eternal garnet]

inside the floaty rocks

[hallow valley]

got it

im waitinf for it to hatch 😄

[hallow valley]

omg

little crashfish and glow whale are so cutee

[fallen anvil]

where can i get diamonds??

[brittle agate]

"early game" or in general?

[fallen anvil]

early game

[brittle agate]

down the twisty bridges

[fallen anvil]

but where tho

[lofty wharf]

Oof cant enter the giveaway cuz i'm 13. Gotta be 16 😔

[brittle agate]

||deeper down, there will be like a darker depper twisty bridges where a squidshark leviathan is||

[fallen anvil]

i need the depth upgade for my seatruck

[brittle agate]

leave the truck at the limit and swim down

just be careful and resource the air bubble plants well

[fallen anvil]

can we start a dm and can you show me?

[brittle agate]

im a bit busy atm but you could always search up a vid!

[fallen anvil]

ok ty

[brittle agate]

no problemo

[carmine stratus]

Thank god I found that map at outpost zero because I don't think I ever would've found phi robotics if I didn't know it existed

Exploration is really fun in the subnautica games but some of these entrances feel super hidden

[honest halo]

So is there a certain order to the biomes you visit to get deeper? I still don't know if there's an oxygen mask like in Subnautica that stops you using more O2 the deeper you go, also i feel like i cheesed depth module mk1: ||i went into hydro caves and cheesed my way to the mine using a base to get oxygen when i got what i needed||

[carmine stratus]

Yeah the rebreather is in bz too

Look for outpost zero

[honest halo]

Nah cause i was gonna visit that last lmfaoooo

[carmine stratus]

Ah, I think it's one of the very first areas you're supposed to explore after station delta

[honest halo]

Isn't that ||ice worm territory though?||

Or is it ||under?||

[carmine stratus]

No? I don't know what those are and I definitely haven't seen them at delta or zero

Delta is the very first station you're supposed to find, you get a beacon waypoint for it

[honest halo]

So you don't have to meet those to get through the story?

[honest halo]

That's ||the worm thing in the top half of the logo btw||

[carmine stratus]

I don't know, I don't think I've seen any yet and I'm only partway through the story

I've just gone around and explored different locations around the architectr artifacts

[honest halo]

Ooooooh i thought you were done

With the story

[carmine stratus]

Had to look up the logo to see what you mean- yeah I definitely haven't seen those before

I have seen a ||snow stalker|| but only because it was in ||marguerit's base||

[brittle agate]

came across it by accident lmao

[carmine stratus]

I actually took a while to even find out that ||marguerit|| existed because I checked out the dock area of station delta and then didn't figure out there was a path up to the comms tower until much later, I thought it was inaccessible lmfao

...oh

I think I found one lmaoo

[brittle agate]

cutie patootie

[carmine stratus]

A very territorial cutie

[brittle agate]

the best cutie

[carmine stratus]

Well

[brittle agate]

no actually

[carmine stratus]

I think the ||vent garden||s are cuter

[brittle agate]

the ||pengwings|| are sm better

[brittle agate]

they are such a vibe

[carmine stratus]

I did build my base next to them lol, I love them

[brittle agate]

gorgeous fauna

[honest halo]

Yeah so uh... where is it?

[carmine stratus]

Outpost zero?

[honest halo]

Yup

[carmine stratus]

||Should be due north of station delta||

[honest halo]

Oh no i meant the map

[carmine stratus]

Oh, actually I'll have to look that up cause I'm not totally certain if it was at outpost zero or somewhere else

[honest halo]

That's all the buildings i found

[carmine stratus]

Yeah have you explored inside them?

There's lots of useful stuff

[honest halo]

I got ||water thing, control room(already had it) indoor grow bed, lantern fruit to plant ||

[carmine stratus]

Oh, I'm a little bit dumb. It turns out the map is actually in ||one of the bases at station delta||

[honest halo]

Oh you were talking about the map map, i thought you meant a map of the area around station zero lol

I didn't find the oxygen recycler thing either

[carmine stratus]

Oh, yeah no you can find a map that shows you where all the other alterra facilities are

[carmine stratus]

There should be ||a snowman wearing a rebreather|| outside of outpost zero

[honest halo]

Yeah i destroyed it and it just despawned

[carmine stratus]

Oh, then I don't think you can scan the rebreather if you did that lol

[honest halo]

Oh
Does it respawn...?

[carmine stratus]

I think you'll have to find the blueprint somewhere else

[honest halo]

Google it is!

Thanks anyway 🙂

[honest halo]

Apparently it's somewhere in the twisty bridges? Idk how to find coordinates in game though

On ps

[carmine stratus]

Well the intended way to find stuff in subnautica is usually by just exploring around

[honest halo]

True

[steel stream]

But scanning that will only give the blueprint for snowman...

[carmine stratus]

Oh, does it?

Rip

[steel stream]

Not entirely sure, but it's a snowman you're scanning, not rebreather

[weak heart]

I told my friend to ||pick up one of the babies||

[brittle agate]

i'd never leave the planet if i saw one

[carmine stratus]

How am I meant to get into this room here? In one of the ||Mercury II wrecks|| just north of the ||vent garden||s

I've looked around the entire area and can't find any entrance where that vent might come from

[carmine stratus]

Nvm I figured it out

[brisk zodiac]

What happens when you feed a Preston's delight to a snow stalker?

[carmine bobcat]

If it’s an adult, it goes tame for a while

[brisk zodiac]

Ohk

[carmine bobcat]

Using a flare/tool which will scare it, will cause it to immediately go aggro again

[daring shard]

is it just me or is building in below zero way worse than in subnautica

[carmine bobcat]

How so?

[daring shard]

the snapping and terrain conforming just feels really bad

[carmine bobcat]

It is tighter in some regions yeah, mainly caves

[carmine stratus]

Finally had my first encounter with ||ice worms||

Pretty scary

[carmine bobcat]

They’re scary until they hit you

Then they become unthreatening or an annoyance

[carmine stratus]

Once I've obtained the ||second architect body component||, is there any reason to ||cross the bridge again?||

Yeah true. It's still scary because I've just gotta be lightning fast and it's pretty stressful

[carmine bobcat]

Only for natural resources, data boxes, ion cubes, and 2 ||blue trivalve|| eggs

[drowsy dragon]

guys a question, would you build mulitple bases? like one main base but a few regional bases?

[carmine stratus]

If the need calls for it then yeah sure

[carmine bobcat]

For fun? Yeah
For efficiency? Only really need 2 maximum

1 above, 1 below.

[carmine stratus]

I usually just center everything at my main base and head out on expeditions for materials, progression or exploring

[drowsy dragon]

second questions, what do creature eggs do? I collected a few but I dont know what to do with them

[carmine stratus]

I would only build a base if there was a separate area that I would need to frequent that is also too far away from my first base to be easily accessible

[carmine bobcat]

Do you have alien containment?

[drowsy dragon]

dont think so

[carmine bobcat]

If so, you can enter it and place the eggs in

Then hatch fauna from the world

[carmine bobcat]

It can be found in the ||mercury 2 wreck, in lilypads||

[carmine stratus]

I was about to say in the first game you would hatch the eggs in a containment unit but I have yet to find the blueprint for those so I'm not even sure if they're in bz

[carmine bobcat]

They are

[carmine stratus]

Oh sick, I was just about to explore that one too since it's right next to my main base

[drowsy dragon]

cool Iw as actually thinking to have a mini base in lily pad area as my main base is in twisty area

[carmine stratus]

Lily base would be awesome

I love the lily pad area, it would've been my second choice for a base spot if I hadn't found the ||vent gardens||

[carmine bobcat]

There is no limit to bases anyway

BZ has technically infinite titanium, silver, gold and copper iirc

Thanks to rock punchers

[drowsy dragon]

rock punchers?

was that sarcasm?

[carmine bobcat]

Designated species term

[carmine stratus]

Rock punchers are a creature

They crawl on the sea floor

[carmine bobcat]

Take a wild guess what they do

Surprised you haven’t seem them yet

[carmine stratus]

Tbh a mini base isn't very necessary with the addition of sea trucks

[drowsy dragon]

I just googled what it is. and yes I saw them recetly but I stayed away. didnt really know what they do

I just assumed another creature lol

[drowsy dragon]

they punch rocks? lol

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah
Which causes a mineral rock to appear, which you can break

Only the natural spawning ones do this, so try not to kill them

[carmine bobcat]

Mini bases are mainly for scanners

Keep an eye on leviathan patterns and resources

[carmine stratus]

Ohhh tbh I didn't think of that

You could just have really mini bases for that then

Just a multipurpose room with a bioreactor or nuclear reactor and a scanner room

[drowsy dragon]

and maybe put a storage as well haha

[carmine stratus]

I was thinking like a more all-purpose base

[drowsy dragon]

also is there a way to improve your water and food timer?

like a way to get less hungry and thirsty

[carmine bobcat]

There is a suit which produces water out of your sweat

[carmine stratus]

I don't think so

[carmine stratus]

Oh wait really

I've had a much easier time with food and water by having potatoes growing in my base and also a water filtration system

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

It adds in 2 consumable drinks of water into your inventory every so often

But iirc, the rate of dehydration outmatches it

[carmine stratus]

You can also unlock water filtration tablets in ||phi robotics station|| which lets you turn snow into drinkable water

This is pretty much my entire food setup atm tho

Potatoes and fevered peppers are great for food

[drowsy dragon]

i have so much to learn

[carmine stratus]

Oh- I completely forgot salt has an actual use omg

I forgot you could make cured food

[hazy rain]

XD

[carmine stratus]

Lore question:

||So, judging the dialogue from the Mercury II PDAs, the Mercury II seems to predate the first game? Predating the aurora crash and maybe even the degasi crash? If that's the case then why wasn't it mentioned in the first game? From the PDA in the aurora it sounded like the Degasi crew were the first ones to disappear on 4546B, and if the Mercury II crew disappeared after Degasi then why would alterra be investigating the Degasi disappearance but not the Mercury II? For political reasons maybe, but still it feels weird for it to just be not mentioned||

[hazy rain]

the|| mercury 2|| crash landed first

[eternal garnet]

Alterra might not know about it. Also it may be very old

[carmine stratus]

Is there really nothing inside the ||Mercury II bridge||? It feels like I'm missing something but all I've found is a song and a PDA

[eternal garnet]

and a paralell thingy

[carmine stratus]

Oh yeah I found that too but I already had all the fragments I needed so it was just a couple titanium lol

[eternal garnet]

what did you need, skeletons?

[carmine stratus]

I was just wondering if there was anything else cause it was pretty much the final part of the wreck I found, and it was the biggest and felt really important

Just underwhelming ig lol

[carmine stratus]

The observatory/aesthetics portion of my base has finally been completed... Cost me a whopping 17 integrity and an unforgivable amount of quartz

But it looks cool :D

Oh actually I know where I can add even more windows lmao. Guess it's not completed just yet

[carmine stratus]

Progression question:

||Okay, so... I talked to marguerit, was I supposed to get a pointer towards the cave that Sam mentioned on the PDA or am I supposed to do something else?||

[eternal garnet]

you only got scattered hints. It is ||on the phi robotics wall map (scan it), south-west, tree area||

[carmine stratus]

Ohhh that makes sense

I already have the map so I'll just check that next

[eternal garnet]

bit difficult to get to the south area

[carmine stratus]

Another thing though- how do I find ||Marguerit's base|| again? I'm swimming around and I cannot find the entrance lol

Idk how I managed to find it before

[eternal garnet]

go to the pilot beacon, then ||down the tunnel north-west||

A beacon at her base makes good sense

[carmine stratus]

Yeahh I put one at her greenhouse cause that one was especially annoying to track down just from her instructions

[eternal garnet]

oh also, now you can go into her back rooms

[carmine stratus]

Yeah that's exactly why I'm trying to find it lol

[eternal garnet]

pick up perimeter defense on the floor, if you missed it

[carmine stratus]

Oh yeah I got that ages ago

[eternal garnet]

there's also an entrance to a thing very near her base

[carmine stratus]

Cool... found some bathroom blueprints

[carmine stratus]

Oh really?

Wait do you mean the ||grand cotton cave||

[eternal garnet]

no

[carmine stratus]

Cause I've already fully explored that

Oh really

[eternal garnet]

a new deep biome

[carmine stratus]

Ah... Should've brought my prawn suit lol

[eternal garnet]

actually no. Bring peri defense

well, prawn kinda works too

[carmine stratus]

Well if it's below 300m then I won't be able to take my sea truck

[eternal garnet]

ok, upgrade it then go there

I think you need nickel. cotton anemone place

[carmine stratus]

Oh that reminds me I still need to find the rest of the horsepower upgrade

[carmine stratus]

Yeah I already grabbed a ton of nickel from there

[carmine stratus]

Rate the kitchen setup

[eternal garnet]

I rate it Outpost Zero/ 10

[carmine stratus]

Sick, that's actually perfect cause that's been my main inspiration with my base building lol

[latent schooner]

Okay, so how in GODS NAME do I get a rebreather?

[eternal garnet]

so in twisty bridge canyon, at 170 deep, there's a little crane. There. Also at 120m, high capacity o2. Not the same spot, but near

[latent schooner]

Is that like the place with all the prawn frags?

[eternal garnet]

no. it's near the alien distress call

[latent schooner]

Oh God I have no idea where that was

[eternal garnet]

so turn it off+on

it's usually a beacon signal. or even 2 sometimes

[latent schooner]

The beacon signal isn't there

[eternal garnet]

ok. twisty bridges is the starting area with the coral bridges. South center part of this where it gets deep

directly north of delta beacon

[carmine stratus]

But whyyyyy

This is so frustrating

[eternal garnet]

possibly because you have an unfinished build nearby

large room does not like that

[carmine stratus]

Nah it does that whether I have any builds in progress or not

It just doesn't like that specific part of the wall for the poster

[shadow condor]

May I ask where you required that sink and stove-top(?) 👁👁

[carmine stratus]

||In marguerit's habitat, in the area that you can't access until you disable the delta comms tower and talk to her||

[shadow condor]

OOOOH TY, ||I've have been procrastinating on meeting up with her since I've been busy relocating my base lol||

[carmine stratus]

Ngl same

[eternal garnet]

to be clear, after you visit the greenhouse

[carmine stratus]

I have 30 hours and I only just did that thing today

[carmine stratus]

Well yeah that's where you have to talk to her

[shadow condor]

Moving from safe shallows to ||the vent gardens|| was a choice on my part lol

[carmine stratus]

Oh I moved to the same place but it was so worth it

[shadow condor]

It issss, absolutely fell in love with the scenery and colors

[obsidian bough]

I always build my base in the Twisty bridges area

[carmine stratus]

That's where my very first base was

But that was mostly because I hadn't found anywhere else yet

If I didn't live in the ||vent gardens|| I would be living in the ||lily pad zone||

[latent schooner]

Okay there's a mushroom cavern looking thing? They look like cotton from COTL. There's ||a body cache|| under it and I can't find a way down

[carmine stratus]

Oh yeah! I love that place!

[latent schooner]

How do I get that cache?

[carmine stratus]

||The path to the body cache is weird but you have to go down into the cotton anemone and find a cave area that kinda goes to the side, eventually you should find an architect light thing that will kinda show you a path to the body cache||

[latent schooner]

Hold on, ||INTO it?! As in, enter them?!||

[carmine stratus]

Oh, no I meant in that cave area lol

[latent schooner]

Oh okay-

The ||bacterium? Does it mean the main game's stuff?||

[carmine stratus]

Pretty sure yeah

The sea truck is actually really cool for one specific reason, being the sea truck docking station. I really love how once you've docked the sea truck to your base, the modules you've added onto it effectively become an extra part of your base that you can walk around in seamlessly

It's so cool

[sonic ruin]

perfection

[lyric root]

True, now waiting for new game hope it won't have achievements to do with another person

[dapper phoenix]

That is rather special... it's even more seamless than the SN cyclops docking mod.

[carmine stratus]

There's a cyclops docking mod??

[dapper phoenix]

Yup. Though you need to click on a ladder to enter the cyclops.

[carmine stratus]

I really gotta look through the mods that are available because I've been really wishing I could play the original game but with some of the features from bz that would make it way better but without the rest of the features that make it kinda frustrating

[dapper phoenix]

Honestly, one of the more irritating things to me about the Seatruck is the fixed layout of lockers. I rather like being able to slap down a custom locker layout on the 'clops.

On the flip side, the Seatruck can zap ornery wildlife.

[carmine stratus]

I haven't really minded much tbh. The most annoying part of the storage module is that I keep accidentally trying to rename the lockers instead of accessing them

[dapper phoenix]

Though, ngl, that kind of sucks all the threat out of most of the leviathans ...

The issue I've run into with the seatruck is that I end up with 6-7 modules which tends to ... not fit through some areas.

Not that the 'clops is good at fitting either.

3 modules seems to fit almost everywhere though.

[dapper phoenix]

I think the Twisty Bridges are some of the best scenery, and usually where I plant my first serious base, though I've also sometimes planted it at the entrance to the mines. (I also tend to plop a shed near the drop pod for storage expansion, battery charging, etc. but I'm not sure I can count that as a serious base.)

[obsidian bough]

Twisty Bridges is always my main base and I have secondary base in the vent gardens and one time I was able to build a base INSIDE of an iceberg that had bioluminscent glowing lights inside of it. It was really pretty.

[carmine stratus]

Sea truck is def way more maneuverable than the cyclops

My issue with the sea truck is that once I have more than 3 modules including the docking module it gets way too slow to the point of inconvenience

Even though the sleeping and aquarium modules are really nice

[dapper phoenix]

Oh, nice. Outside the mine doors seems useful as a central location for a base, but that's kind of the opposite of scenic. Catching a special place like that... chef's kiss

[dapper phoenix]

Even with the engine booster modules? Depending on where I'm going in a 'clops I tend to keep the engine set to slow rather than standard speed, so 6.7 m/s

[carmine stratus]

Oh, idk if I have those

You know what?

Building in scenic areas is actually worse because all it does is cost way more quartz and lithium

Next time I build a base it's gonna have no visibility whatsoever

[dapper phoenix]

That's fair. My base outside the mines didn't have many windows because there really wasn't much to see.

There were some overlooking the outside grow beds, but other than that, the only thing to see there was cargo netting 😛

[obsidian bough]

I still get salty when I remember how much of BZ's story was cut

I missed out on early access :C

[bold monolith]

You can play the early access versions of the game on Steam.

[dapper phoenix]

It's kind of awkward though.

[next current]

Not really?

[carmine bobcat]

One of my favourite aspects of EA is how the ||iceworm|| didn’t knock you off your snowfox

[rugged ibex]

rate the base i built on creative a year ago

1-10

this is the nuclear power compartment

below it we got the cafeteria and the kitchen

dock and my brother's room

the manegement sector

Guest rooms and the viewing deck

toilets (dont ask me why are there so many)

and the premium rooms (each room is composed of 3 multipurpose rooms)

also the changin room before entering the nuclear plant ( composed of 6 reactor units )

[elder karma]

10/10 👍

[honest halo]

[kind peak]

Did u found bridge on land?

If u fix it and go to other side you can meet ice worms

[honest halo]

Aaah yes ||idk where to get gel sacs||

Is there anything good there though? Like story or blueprints?

[kind peak]

[teal bramble]

[paper terrace]

man i love this game i am finaly done and enjoying the last music before quitting this save

[keen dagger]

It's a maze

[austere gulch]

I have a question: how to go in the mining site ?

[keen dagger]

You will have to leave the seatruck and swim inside.

There is a ||elevator|| just swim straight down and follow the ||rails||.

Watch out for the ||rock punchers|| though there are plenty 😁

[austere gulch]

thank, but I did all tuto in youtube, and i did'n find the mining site 🥺 , i turn around the delta island for 4 days in the game, where is the site ? in West ? Est ? North ? South ?

[keen dagger]

I can log on and check :) I beat the game a week or so ago.

[austere gulch]

thank, and sory for my english, i did'n have many vocabulary

[keen dagger]

It's ok no need to be sorry

[austere gulch]

😀

[keen dagger]

Ok how good are you with coords :)

I finally found it again lol

it's a bit hidden

[austere gulch]

where ?

[keen dagger]

Roughly ||900 meters South|| from the drop pod

Of course I'm facing it lol

[austere gulch]

super ! I will rechearch it now

[keen dagger]

Good luck!

[austere gulch]

and, i have a last question befor go to the mining site: how to talk with margerit maida ? her snow stalker is in her base, and i cant go to her

[keen dagger]

You have to complete a mission that involves ||shutting down the satellite on Delta Island||

[austere gulch]

with what ?

[keen dagger]

The ||Parallel Processing Unit|| the scans are in I think the wreck inside ||Lilypads||
