[hollow mountain]

Maybe I'll take the scanner room somewhere else and grab everything in the safe shallows or so

[west mountain]

No, they should be on the underside of the rocks. But most are in twisty bridges and thermal spires and later down in ||crystak cavern||

[hollow mountain]

Some are, and some are inside of the floating rocks. I can send a screenshot in a bit. Twisty bridges it is!

[median badge]

what r they doing?

[hollow mountain]

It's cold. They are huddling together for warmth. Real penguins do this too

[west mountain]

Looks like they are making an evil plan to take over 4546B. Like Pinky and the Brain: Penglings and The Brain.

[clear vale]

sooo I'm thinking about moving my base because I was living my whole game in twisty bridges which at first was good position but after 20 hours in game it's not best position

1, not enough space for base(because of that I have small base)

2, everything being far away from me

3, not enough resources

if anyone has idea where I could move my base would be great

[eternal garnet]

Rule #5

[clear vale]

I don't think you can promote servers

[hollow mountain]

Evidently not

[clear vale]

so ye

[hollow mountain]

Lilypads. Bathe in the ethereal calls of glow whales and get drugged by lily paddlers the second you step outside

[eternal garnet]

Yes . But western parts so it's more central

[hollow mountain]

I don't know those specifics

[clear vale]

I was thinking of that but I wasn't sure if it has enough resources for me to live there

[eternal garnet]

Near the pilot signal is good

[hollow mountain]

That is where I am lol

[eternal garnet]

But don't go too deep for solar. You can put solar panels above 100m

and use a power transmitter

[clear vale]

I mean like, lilypads is great biome with lots of spaces so probably moving there

[clear vale]

imma just get resources for big room and Imma move

is it better to go deeper or to be near surface

[hollow mountain]

Meatie answered this...

[eternal garnet]

it matters for: Solar, and base integrity

[west mountain]

I have 26 bases in all biomes, all fully decorated and equipped. So I just go where I like to be for the moment.

[hollow mountain]

Integrity? Why?

[eternal garnet]

it decreases faster when deep

[hollow mountain]

Oh, interesting. So a window loses more deeper down?

[clear vale]

ye

[eternal garnet]

it should. I didn't do extensive testing

[west mountain]

No, I dont think so, or it is very very suttle.

[hollow mountain]

Interesting

[clear vale]

I prob go near surface like I always do, I can make bigger base and I can use solar, prob good idea

[steel shoal]

It's a subtle increase

Moonpools are much more noticeable (it'll instantly flood at 1500)

[west mountain]

What matters is underwater or above water. Above water you can go crazy

[hollow mountain]

XD

[eternal garnet]

As for solar, fill a foundation with them and put it higher up, one power transmitter

[hollow mountain]

Time to leave for resource gathering! Back to the twisty bridges

[west mountain]

When you gather resources with your seatruck make sure to compact the material with the fabricator in the module to increase storage. But you need the recyclotron to disassemble it later.

[hollow mountain]

I'm aware of that, and have both available, thanks! Can't do that with lead though?

[west mountain]

You can do it with everything that is in a recipie. Lead plus quartz plus diamond = enameld glass

[proven idol]

Pls give me tips on how to find the kopa mine entrence?

[hollow mountain]

Hmm, true. Won't work here though, I've got a storage module with me, it'll have to do

[west mountain]

Go around delta island until you find some light stick and boxes underwater, Its south-west of the dock.

[proven idol]

Ok

[eternal garnet]

it's on the south-west side of the island, about 100m from shore

In a big hole

[west mountain]

Mine 🙂

[eternal garnet]

Ok fine, it's your big hole

[west mountain]

Tbh I was scared as hell to go down there. That is an amazing piece of landscape. To sad the adjecient rooms are not accessible. But the entire cave system under Delta Island is HUGE. And probabely not many player explore these caves extensively. Especially the side entrances into the mine are great.

[eternal garnet]

I did visit the side rooms. 3 outcrops, dead end

[west mountain]

??? how ???

[eternal garnet]

oh I use any command I can find

[west mountain]

Ok, was the outcrop just a random byproduct or was it intentionally there?

[eternal garnet]

I think they are procedurally placed. They are random. I'm pretty sure

Which means surfaces define the outcrops, and the surface inside there wasn't outcrop disabled

[west mountain]

Pitty they could have made it accessible with lasercutter or so. Just fun to go in there. Or a mechanic. Just imagine the doors would start to open.

Also I wished that the ||frozen leviathan|| would blink with an eye just ONCE per game 🙂. That would have freaked me out!!!

[burnt pagoda]

imagine that with realistic physics

[west mountain]

Incredible material strenght needed, probabely carbon nano tubes conbined with alien technology.

[proven idol]

Bro

Lithium is so hard to get

I dried them out in the deep tb

Pv is filled with those shrimps

[west mountain]

Lithium is easy to get, just go to purple vents, plenty there. Also some around thermal spires.

[proven idol]

You say everything is easy

[west mountain]

Well, easier than in deep twisty bridges for sure.

[hollow mountain]

Lithium is easy to gather though, purple vents is swamped by it

I now have a fully upgraded seatruck and prawn! Although I haven't used the prawn yet...

I have to say though, I'm a liiiittle disappointed by the storage module. I feel like the lockers are smaller than they need to be. I know, I can add another, but still.

[sly olive]

I have a question if someone doesn't mind answering

[hollow mountain]

I will if I can

[sly olive]

What's the best vehicle in the game

In like below zero

[hollow mountain]

Depends on the purpose... I like the seatruck more because of it's utility, but the prawn can drill large resource deposits and is generally better at defending you, and has a deeper crush depth. And the snowfox is...well, a niche case

[sly olive]

I got a maxed out prawn suit

How deep can the snowfox go

[hollow mountain]

Snowfox is a land vehicle

[sly olive]

So that's a no go

Untill I'm forced too go on land

[hollow mountain]

Well...it's intended for a specific part of the map

[sly olive]

Ohhhh okay

Well I'm not up too that part yet

I'm at the part where u are like creating the

[hollow mountain]

Don't limit yourself to what's best, find your own best

[sly olive]

I mean I alr have a maxed prawn suit as I thought it would be the best

But when I saw the crush depth I thought there might have been a better vehicle

[hollow mountain]

Like I said, don't limit yourself to an objective best if you like something else more

[sly olive]

So the prawn suit had the deepest crush depth correct

[west mountain]

Seatruck is the best because it has the perimeter defense upgrade. Snowfox on land in the west arctic.

[polar sable]

guys whats the best setup for seatruck

[west mountain]

Depends on the purpose

[hollow mountain]

It's also a bit ridiculous to ask what is best, when there is only one vehicle for each category

[polar sable]

ig i want it a cylopse version

[hollow mountain]

It's like going on a junge trip, looking at a lambo, a shopping cart and a jeep, and asking what's best

[sly olive]

What is that

[west mountain]

My seatruck 🙂

[hollow mountain]

The everythingtruck

[west mountain]

Everything except the teleportation module, but two storage

[hollow mountain]

I forgot that exists lmao

[west mountain]

No need to remember, its pretty useless at that point in the game.

[polar sable]

ic

thanks

[west mountain]

Oh just notice I have the teleportion on it 🙂. But just for the picture

[hollow mountain]

I'd like to try it out though, once. Haven't yet

[keen dagger]

Nice!

[hollow mountain]

I have the horsepower upgrade now, so I'm only going around with storage, fabricator and sleeper. Lets me stay out for a looooong time

[sly olive]

I got another question but this is more on opinion

[west mountain]

Yes, sleeper is cool because of the juke box. And if you want the prawn for drilling then the docking module too.

So "best" configuration, imho, sleeper, storage, storage, fabricator, docking. No need for aquarium and teleportation.

[hollow mountain]

I use it for sleeping 😂

[west mountain]

Well, that also of course 🙂

[hollow mountain]

It's not needed, but it feels right for me to come back to the seatruck after a while of exploring and collecting, and then to lie down and sleep

As long as power is on, I have a relatively safe haven to return to

But the storage in the fabricator module also looks like this. I'm a bit of a prepper

[west mountain]

More storage then.

[hollow mountain]

But then truck is slooooow

As mentioned, the given storage is fine

It could be more, but it will do

[west mountain]

On one hand, some players complain that the map is too small, but then they also complain that the seatruck is too slow 🙂. Those things cancel out.

[hollow mountain]

Hmm, I don't think it's too small, just too tight and disconnected from each other sometimes

[hollow mountain]

You said with horsepower upgrade, it pulls 3 modules without slowdown, right?

[west mountain]

Somebody said that. It will reduce the slow down, but on the other hand, once you start loading stuff inside that also adds to the weight and slow down. In the end, a fully loaded seatruck is deadslow.

[steel stream]

I don't think amount of stuff inside matters? It's just the number of modules

[hollow mountain]

conflicting statements noooo

But I gotta say that the seatruck does not feel slower after resource hauls than before. So I think that one is a myth

[steel stream]

I mean, I have seen graphs of seatruck speed with different amount of modules and with or without horsepower upgrade, but this is the first time I see that amount of stuff would affect 🤷‍♂️

[hollow mountain]

Would also be an absurd amount of detail for a tiny feature

[steel shoal]

Amount of items does not matter

[proven idol]

What's your favorite below zero mob? Mine is seamonky

[steel shoal]

[hollow mountain]

Okay so 3 modules reduces the speed a tiny bit with horsepower

[proven idol]

The goat

[steel shoal]

Yes, barely noticeable

[hollow mountain]

Lovely.

[west mountain]

It does, I can tell you. When I come back with 1000 items in my seatruck, it does no longer move at all.

[steel shoal]

You're not playing with mods, I assuke7

Hmm. I'll need to do more research, but that sounds like a weird feature

Might be related with lag, or maybe it's just placebo

[west mountain]

It definitely slows down when fully loaded

[hollow mountain]

Time to conduct a largescale study

[west mountain]

No need, just check the code, either its there or not 🙂

[hollow mountain]

Lemme just decompile the exe mmh yes

[west mountain]

Not you and me, the devs of the game 🙂

[bold monolith]

Do you mean when you have a full inventory?

[west mountain]

Yes, but full I mean, all lockers stacked with crafted items. Not 1 piece of titanium but plasteel ingot. Plus all prawn storage with two extensions, two seatruck storage moduels and the fabricator plus player.

[bold monolith]

I don't see it.

I see there is an added weight for the docked Prawn Suit though.

[west mountain]

But not cargo then?

[bold monolith]

No.

[west mountain]

TBH I would have guaranteed that it is the case. When I come home from my epic gathering runs the seatruck bearly moves.

[hollow mountain]

Docked prawn suit adding weight is fair

[hollow mountain]

@bold monolith may I divert your attention to #subnautica-chat message

[west mountain]

And the trucksegment.getweight is independent of cargo in the segment?

[deep kettle]

Ignis the magical person of moving vehicles xD

[bold monolith]

I'll send you people too, since you can do it as well.

[deep kettle]

I'm not sure I trust my own code I didn't use for the past years to modify save files 😅

[hollow mountain]

Wait, the docking bay uses the weight? How?

[bold monolith]

The games didn't have any update since.

[deep kettle]

Oh right, I remember trying to make it into a website 😂

[deep kettle]

ssshhh

[bold monolith]

I thought about that too. Since there are plenty of people with Prawn Suit stuck in the first game.

[hollow mountain]

How do they get stuck with it?

[bold monolith]

I didn't want to write javascript code though.

[deep kettle]

I believe I stopped working on the idea once I realized the amount of effort it involved.

[deep kettle]

The language I use can compile to webassembly, I think that was my original idea for it.

[bold monolith]

You can do that just in JS. I played Journey and they have a parser editing the save files. It's pretty neat and simple.

[deep kettle]

You totally could yeah, but at the same time you need to rewrite it all in JS.

[bold monolith]

Players just drag and drop their file, no complicated upload, etc.

Everything on the client side.

[deep kettle]

Sometimes the game bugs and you fall through the floor, other times your prawn floats if you move to far away from it. It's also possible to get it stuck in a certain elevator.

[deep kettle]

Webassembly is client side though

[bold monolith]

I know.

[hollow mountain]

Even after all this time, the game still has bugs huh. It never ends

[deep kettle]

What I was also considering is people trying to cheat with those tools.

[bold monolith]

Thom, these games are singleplayer.

I don't think moving vehicles around is a big deal.

[deep kettle]

I'm aware but clearly they made the decision to have the cheat flag xD

For consoles it's a requirement but I'm pretty sure Steam/Epic etc. don't care at all.

But fair enough 😛

[eternal fulcrum]

Truns out you cant grapple to the gigant squid shark looking thing

[hollow mountain]

It is a squid shark

[eternal fulcrum]

the levithan one

okay i go to check on the nucler reactor and this one is floating outside the habitat and then retrund like a non buggy fish shuld

[hollow mountain]

Oh the chelicerath?

[eternal fulcrum]

yes

[keen dagger]

Ignis is that a typo?

I can't tell if you are trying to say "bit" deal or "big" deal

[hollow mountain]

Big deal

[keen dagger]

I thought so

[eternal garnet]

pick the one that makes sense

[hollow mountain]

But that requires using the brain and that's frowned upon

[keen dagger]

Yes big deal makes sense but I like having fun with Ignis 😁

[keen dagger]

You noticed that too huh

[hollow mountain]

Yeah, it's a strange phenomenon

[keen dagger]

That's true

A strange phenomenal phenomenon

[eternal fulcrum]

what we puting in the tank next to the sea monkeys

[karmic lantern]

ive beated sn bz

[karmic lantern]

penguing

it was 4x better the og sn

[eternal fulcrum]

this one, idk what eggs the pinguing

[eternal garnet]

that's ||brinewing||

[eternal fulcrum]

the one that abit cold

also the sea monkeys are growing

[minor turret]

The organization has begun. I love this game as much as Subnatuica 1

[eternal fulcrum]

I made a wall box thats just cald random

[eternal fulcrum]

is the 2x2 egg a Brute?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[eternal fulcrum]

so the reds a pengwing ?

acully the friend arent in need of a hiding are they

[eternal garnet]

no

[eternal fulcrum]

there in the front art and realy easy to stumblae across in water and land so thire isent a big spoiler

[boreal fjord]

somebody explain to me why pipes in the lilypad biome refuse to go down

[eternal garnet]

you use pipes?! lol

[boreal fjord]

yeah

looks like a bug to me

[eternal fulcrum]

wait the reds are crash fish

wait there lightning

[boreal fjord]

Should i report this in bug reports?

[eternal fulcrum]

or its bad placing design

[eternal garnet]

no

[boreal fjord]

well

what do i do?

its not working man

[eternal garnet]

use a vehicle, or build a small room with power

[boreal fjord]

why not just

You know, get the bug fixed

[eternal garnet]

it's not happening now

[boreal fjord]

I know

[eternal fulcrum]

the last update was like two or so years ago and unkown's devs are being payed to work on sub 2 and uther project att the moment

[boreal fjord]

I dont even have a builder tool man

[eternal fulcrum]

uhhm

[boreal fjord]

[minor turret]

I'm just confused on why you went all the way to the lilypads without a vehicle.

[boreal fjord]

Its literally the start of the game.

I went to margureit base

now im going to that lab

[minor turret]

Who? Might need to spoiler that

[boreal fjord]

Someone

[quaint sky]

not bug. max of 10 pipes

very annoying anticheese

makes air pump utterly worthless

literally the most useless thing ingame

[eternal fulcrum]

but making 10 blader things isent a chesse

[quaint sky]

exactly

[boreal fjord]

My poor inventory and titanium

[quaint sky]

limiting number of pipes is just nonsense

but they did it anyway

[minor turret]

I never used it before. I didn't realize it was a limit

[quaint sky]

it gets reported as a bug constantly because there's literally nothing ingame to tell you

it's a complete waste of resources

[boreal fjord]

Isnt it supposed to help you dive deeper?

[quaint sky]

lol

lmao

[boreal fjord]

If its supposed to help dive you deeper why is there a 10 pipe limit

I cant even place 10 its like so janky to place them

I only got to place 4

[quaint sky]

i got no clue why ngl

[boreal fjord]

I lost like half of my thirst trying to place pipes

[quaint sky]

yeah

sucks, huh?

same to me

[boreal fjord]

I dont even have water with me i drank them all placing pipes for an hour

If you didnt answer me i was probably gonna keep trying

[quaint sky]

ngl they should remove it from the damn game entirely and leave the pipe recipe solely for crafting base cosmetics

[hollow mountain]

Insanity: trying the same thing over and over and expecting something to change

[boreal fjord]

cant blame me, the game didnt say anything about it

[hollow mountain]

I'm not blaming you, I'm just saying bruteforcing is often not the best idea

[boreal fjord]

bruteforcing?

Im trying to use the games intended feature

lol

[vast jay]

Pipes need a buff

[hollow mountain]

Bruteforcing as in trying over and over

[vast jay]

We need to be able to get pipes from the sea truck for air

Pipes from a base

[quaint sky]

speakimg of base cosmetics i DETEST the overly strict placement restrictions on internal walls and other stuff. if you so much as put a single dang locker or desk or bed you can no longer place ANY walls or doors or windows meaning you have to undecorate your entire large compartment, strip it to nothing, then build walls, then windows, then doors, then everything else

[vast jay]

Build the walls first?

[minor turret]

Why? Why not just enter the truck?

[hollow mountain]

Expanding is a thing

[vast jay]

i want a funny pointless thing

[quaint sky]

how does one know how big they want a room without first placing furniture with a couple walls just to mark a boundary

or, say, you decide to add a bathroom after unlocking new cosmetics

[hollow mountain]

Internal walls are terrible to place imo

[boreal fjord]

"several people are typing"

[minor turret]

I once tried to remove my hatch to put it somewhere else and I couldn't because I needed to move lockers first

[quaint sky]

screw you, deconstruct everything first

[vast jay]

I just build the walls first and then add stuff, after many playthrus I know what I want

[vast jay]

Rare occurrence

Autocorrect I swear

[hollow mountain]

And then these lockers are filled, but you have no space somewhere else

[quaint sky]

new players don't know this and it sucks. it is illogical

[minor turret]

yep

[vast jay]

The interior walls are preset at certain points you can place like 3 rows longway and like 8 shortway

[quaint sky]

seriously the restrictions on things are horrible and make making bases look nice at all is like wrestling a sack full of porcupines

[vast jay]

Remember when we only had multipurpose rooms? Be grateful

[boreal fjord]

Interesting example

[vast jay]

As long as I have my keep calm poster I’m happy

[hollow mountain]

Other game

[boreal fjord]

BZ feels too linear

[hollow mountain]

BZ has the Hang in there

[quaint sky]

bruh why are you defending bad game design when sub1 already had large rooms and walls and doors

[boreal fjord]

I hope they dont do that again

[hollow mountain]

Large rooms were backported to sn1 though

[quaint sky]

i prefer it to having less than zero clue where to find anything

[quaint sky]

fr? huh

[boreal fjord]

I honestly preferred multipurpose rooms in sn1 since sn1 barely had any cosmetic furniture to fill the rooms

[vast jay]

Large rooms were added like a year after BZ 1.0

[boreal fjord]

U cant even fill the large rooms up in sn1

[vast jay]

Back ported in the sn 2.0 update

[quaint sky]

the main issue is having any collision placement restrictions at all for cosmetic base structures

[hollow mountain]

Keyword "living large update"

[quaint sky]

for non cosmetic stuff, yeah, understandable

[hollow mountain]

It also added a few other things, but big rooms were the main selling point

[eternal fulcrum]

I know the purple vents are a area for lith but uh that areas abit

[vast jay]

Sn1 has plenty of things to fill rooms

[eternal fulcrum]

i dont want my prawn to be at 50 hp agin

[quaint sky]

but if placing a chair on one end of a large room means i can't put walls or doors on the opposite end, that's a bad design issue that should have been fixed before that update ever released

[vast jay]

Planters, desks beds, next we need a coutch, display case, and a lamp

[eternal fulcrum]

so do BZ but you have to realy search for them

[quaint sky]

I ended up installing a mod to remove the damn restrictions

[vast jay]

The issue with BZ is most of the data boxes are just at important spots, there aren’t really wrecks scattered around to find em

That’s why sn1 exploring was fun

[eternal fulcrum]

this is what iv found

[vast jay]

Like I’ve never explored the tree spires

[hollow mountain]

The different beds are nice, but why not give all designs immediately?

[vast jay]

Nor most of the arctic biomes

[minor turret]

I don't miss trying to find wrecks. That was a nightmare lol. oxygen

[eternal fulcrum]

yeah i fund that part fun in sn1 to

[quaint sky]

they're very different game experiences

[eternal fulcrum]

true BZ is a slow passed game

[boreal fjord]

if bz wasnt so linear i would be interested in exploring

[hollow mountain]

Swim to surface!

[quaint sky]

sb1, you're looking to survive and escape. sbz, you're looking for answers and closure.

[boreal fjord]

but in bz everywhere u go is a part of the story

[quaint sky]

I prefer bz to s1

[hollow mountain]

And find ||an alien and that alterra wasn't lying||

[boreal fjord]

same just because of the fauna

[quaint sky]

sppoilers

[minor turret]

Hey. Spoilers

I'm not there yet!

[hollow mountain]

Yes yes you're right sorry

[quaint sky]

how is this a negative thing

[vast jay]

Bruh

[hollow mountain]

Spoilered it now. But the channel does warn for spoilers!

No bruh. Both are valid

[minor turret]

Please make sure to spoiler tag anything related to the Below Zero late game or ending.

[quaint sky]

I like the story, the characters, and the actual experience

way more

[hollow mountain]

[Warning - Spoilers]

[quaint sky]

the main draw of sb1 was the novel framing device, the unique gameplay, etc

[hollow mountain]

I'm not saying I shouldn't have spoilered, I'm saying coming in here expecting people to not talk about endgame content is delusional

[quaint sky]

sb1 has like. a really bland stpry compared to bz

[boreal fjord]

who could have expected that people talk about below zero in "Below-zero-chat"

[quaint sky]

it's disrespectful

to talk about spoilers without using tags

this is basic game group etiquette

[hollow mountain]

I already said twice I should have spoilered. What do you all want

[minor turret]

To not call me delusional

[hollow mountain]

I didn't

[quaint sky]

anyway i love robin as a character and ||alan|| is equally incredible

[boreal fjord]

Isnt bz story a sequal to sb1?

[hollow mountain]

Define equal

[quaint sky]

barely

[hollow mountain]

Oh sequel

[quaint sky]

it's same universe, post sb1

one notable ||recurring character||

[hollow mountain]

There are huge differences in how it is told though

[boreal fjord]

how did that "character" even get there

[quaint sky]

have you

[boreal fjord]

from there to there

[hollow mountain]

There are audiologs that explain

[quaint sky]

played?

[boreal fjord]

still man its such a far distance

like a quarter of the planet

[hollow mountain]

You're free to disregard it, but the char is there nonetheless

[vast jay]

Me too, I would like it more if robin shut up more

[quaint sky]

bruh

[hollow mountain]

?? Suddenly

[vast jay]

Robin being philosophical the entire time makes me angry

Ima go class now

[quaint sky]

that's a you problem

[boreal fjord]

This has got to be a rage bait

[quaint sky]

she's written incredibly well

[quaint sky]

some people just hate when women

ngl

[boreal fjord]

nah i think its just rage bait. A little bit of tomfoolery if you will

[quaint sky]

sb1 had a silent male protagonist with all the character of a cardboard cutout

[hollow mountain]

But that was the point

[quaint sky]

bz has a richly motivated, extremely well written protagonist with clearly defined motives and personality

[boreal fjord]

was there a lore explanation of why sb1 character was silent?

[quaint sky]

no

it's literally gordon freemanitus

[hollow mountain]

No, and he does make some sounds. Just doesnt talk

[quaint sky]

plus indie dev publishing game budget

[boreal fjord]

I mean i prefer it to be a silent character if there isnt anyone else for the character to talk

[quaint sky]

and that is why bz works so well. You get to talk to folk.

[boreal fjord]

which sb1 was just secluded

both games are a 10/10 in their way imo

they do their things perfectly

[quaint sky]

the point of bz is to get immersed in following the thriller/sitcom/detective journey of the protagonist as she seeks answers to what happened to her sister, which is compelling and emotional

[hollow mountain]

What tips me off about BZs story is that you can skip large parts of it. When I beat BZ, I never even saw the ||frozen leviathan||, and it did not matter

[boreal fjord]

I really tried to find it but i couldnt

[hollow mountain]

I only found out through videos it existed

[quaint sky]

wow

yall not using the pda logs??

[boreal fjord]

Does it tell you where it is in the pda logs?

[quaint sky]

it gives very strong clues

[hollow mountain]

If it does, I didn't see it

[boreal fjord]

I only used pda for the map and the clues

[hollow mountain]

I do think I read everything

[boreal fjord]

perhaps i missed some pda's

[quaint sky]

getting the snowcat or taking a prawn suit on land is very helpful in reaching all the places in that part of the world

[hollow mountain]

Snowfox you mean

[quaint sky]

uwu

or did i

[hollow mountain]

You want a headpat? XD

[boreal fjord]

I used the prawnsuit on land thinking i cheated the game. Little did i know it was a feature

I do think that it shouldnt be used on land

[quaint sky]

given sb1 i had to literally look up where to even go to progress the story at multiple points vs bz where i constantly felt like i had at least one concrete goal

[boreal fjord]

its cheesy and gets rid of the whole heat mechanic

[hollow mountain]

It's not suited for that, but ||Marguerit does too||

[boreal fjord]

It was honestly better than the snowfox (I never built a snowfox)

[hollow mountain]

Funny enough that is exactly why I like sn1's story and not so much for BZ

[quaint sky]

ngl the heat mechanic gets old after a point where I'm glad we can cheese it to experience the story

[hollow mountain]

I just ran through the tundra. Who needs vehicles

[quaint sky]

if a story can't even give a basic hint of breadcrumbs it's not a very well laid out story

[hollow mountain]

Your opinion, plus sn1 story does that

[quaint sky]

there are massive gaps in the clues given that logic won't help

[boreal fjord]

I enjoy having things in the story that leave you wondering

the unknown

[quaint sky]

that's not the same

i mean stuff literally required to get to the ending

[hollow mountain]

Like?

[boreal fjord]

sb1 tells you AND shows you exactly where the ending place is

[hollow mountain]

I felt rushed to do BZs story, because it was always "Go here, do this, ||Alan|| is calling aaaaaah"

Whereas SN was like... "So uh, there's a lifepod here, byee"

[boreal fjord]

I think thats the whole point in sb1

theres no help

[hollow mountain]

And I liked that

[boreal fjord]

you are alone and u figure things out on your own

[quaint sky]

on a purely storytelling front that does make bz a better narrative but sub1 a better player driven experience

[boreal fjord]

cant compare both games

[quaint sky]

they're probably not fair to directly compare in hindsight

both are excellent

in different ways

[hollow mountain]

They struggle in different ways too. I started playing BZ again because of conversations I had here, and found a newfound appreciation for it

[quaint sky]

for emotional, character (not player) driven dramatic storytelling, bz is incredibly good

[hollow mountain]

It's not bad as a whole, it does things differently and there will always be some who love and some who don't

[boreal fjord]

I really love bz because of the biomes and the fauna

[hollow mountain]

I love BZ for the interactions with glow whales alone

[boreal fjord]

gaming

[quaint sky]

||getting face to face dialogue with margarit and getting into heartmeltingly charming ace/aro style platonic romcom situations with AL-AN elevate bz incredibly highly in my eyes||

[hollow mountain]

It's funny how different we see things

[boreal fjord]

[hollow mountain]

I'm stealing this

[quaint sky]

||the banter and friendship between them that grows, the way AL-AN goes from guarded, detached and robotic to deeply, caringly emotional as robin's shared experiences and conversations influence his perspective on the world and his trust in her, how he shows deep emotional anxiety and vulnerability in confiding his part in the virus outbreak and his fears of his race being potentially extinct, the way she seems to almost miss having him in her head for a moment after the transfer... The way that they chat after robin administers the cure made my heart ache so strongly. To experience loss like that, to be comforted by a friend, that is exactly what is captured.||

the story, if you give it room to settle in, is deeply beautiful

[eternal fulcrum]

i retrund after eating chiken tacos to see just lore yaping

[quaint sky]

it is human

it's the sole reason why bz will remain in my heart long after i forget the story beats of sb1; it has a story to tell, and uses the existing mechanics of sub1 refined and honed to keep that story as the big priority for that experience

i felt fear and anxiety and awe and wonder in sb1. In sbz, add to that sorrow, bittersweet longing, emotional connections, joy, catharsis, and closure

i only cried for bz.

[keen dagger]

Sounds like you can make a modern movie trailer when you look at it this way.

[quaint sky]

a game that can make you tear up multiple times and still adore it is a game of beautiful substance

[keen dagger]

||She was just a girl looking on a desolate cold planet for her sister, he was an alien without a body, together the two of them can be one lol||

[quaint sky]

spoilers

[keen dagger]

That's sure to do well at the box office.

[quaint sky]

(the ||reveal of alan|| to me was entirely unexpected and it was incredible as an experience)

i tell people to go into sbz blind but for the advice to focus on the emotional character driven storytelling, not for "more of that scifi survival thallassophobia planet escape game where you cack yourself when a big scary fish says hello"

it legitimately has such a good story that i put it in my top ten GOATs (outer wilds being #1 always and forever. sobbing into my burned space marahmallows by the campfire)

(not to be comfused with mostly inferior but not really comparable game of same release date The Outer Worlds which has by comparison all the emotion of leslie nielsen at his most deadpan)

[hollow mountain]

That were some walls of text

[quaint sky]

ngl im sad that most big game studios avoid genuinely deep compelling emotional story stuff in favour of catering to the Zero Empathy Gaming Addict crowd that is most vocal in firing abuse at devs these days

we need more stuff like bz

passionately written

[hollow mountain]

I'm not a fan of ||heart-wrenching game stories.|| I play games to be entertained, and ||getting plunged into despair or roped into some deep emotional maze|| does not fall in there. Not something I can or want to change, nor does it invalidate anything. But I do hope to see more story like in SN1.

[eternal fulcrum]

so if i let a brute shark egg hatch will it end bad

[hollow mountain]

All creatures in alien containment are passive

[eternal fulcrum]

But can i have two or dose that mass the tank

[hollow mountain]

... Sorry what?

[eternal fulcrum]

Brute sharks are huge

wait is the pda trolling you

[hollow mountain]

Creatures are smaller in there

[eternal fulcrum]

well yeah

[hollow mountain]

So what's the question?

[keen dagger]

Yes you can have more than one brute shark in the containment.

[west mountain]

Well if you have two of the same species, sooner or later, the tank will be full 🙂

[hybrid pivot]

i need some help

im playing a save file i just made like yesterday

now that i relaunched the game

there is like not a single leviathan spawning (chelicerate , glow whale , shadow)

[eternal fulcrum]

👀

Soo if use all of the ionkube's power can i

[weary sundial]

Silikon gummy

[eternal fulcrum]

gummi is swedish for rubber

[weary sundial]

[eternal fulcrum]

Okay if unkown devs have time later atlest let us recharge ion cubes if your are gona limit us to 3 tp per cube

thire still artifacts that can be scanned but wont give you anything so use them

or make it a thing after finnish the al-an story in anyway

you guys left some holes and you have thing to fill them with

im just suggesting

[west mountain]

It will consume 1/3 ion cube per usage. Make sure you recycle it after 2 uses to not loose the ion cube.

[west mountain]

Once you found the cave with the ||ion cube deposits|| you will be sorted for the rest of the game.

[eternal fulcrum]

So thats how they fix a hole in the game design

[steel stream]

You can recharge ion cubes. Swim charge fins theoretically work, but is too slow to be practical. Recyclotron can do some tricks

[eternal fulcrum]

yeah from what markus said the recycler magicly reacrages it

also what are swim charge fins?

[steel stream]

Or even a habitat builder if you build and decraft a recyclotron, the uon cube becomes full again

[woven pine]

Fins that charge up your equipped tool as you swim

[eternal fulcrum]

HOW do you get them

[west mountain]

Its a data box you have to find

[steel stream]

Open databox for blueprint and then craft them in modification station

[woven pine]

No clue how to in below zero

@west mountain can tell u that

[west mountain]

Databox in ||omega lab||

[steel stream]

Note that they don't give swim speed buff, so without seaglide you will be slower than with regular fins (but it charges the seaglide while using, so just use it)

[eternal fulcrum]

oh thire in ||Omega lab|| yay

idk rather shot my self in the foot then g back to that region

[west mountain]

The other important data box imho is behind ||Maidas base|| its the ||stillsuit||.

[west mountain]

Lilypad is great, lots of resources and wonderful biome and glow whales. Did you interact with the glowwhale and did you ride one???

[hollow mountain]

Lilypad loveeeee

[eternal fulcrum]

it said no

[west mountain]

I have three bases in Lilypad, one on a floating rock, one on the surface on the lilypads itself and one on top of omega lab. I wanted to recreate omega lab before the incident happend.

[rotund hinge]

Not to really get any spoilers since I just started a playthru and never really made any real progress in the game before but what is the tool you need to unlock to start building a base?

[hollow mountain]

Habitat builder

[eternal fulcrum]

someone explain to me ||hwo they blew up a nucler reactor||

[rotund hinge]

Do you need to find fragments for that

And if so how many

[west mountain]

Yes, one fragment is enough.

[rotund hinge]

Ok

Are they near the pod or is it gonna be a bit before I get it if im playing casually

[west mountain]

Well, maybe ||Maida sneeked into the cave and place some explosives with delayed fuse on top of the base and ignited it from a distance.||

[west mountain]

There are in quite a few locations. You should stumble accross them as the game goes on. But if you want to know, there is one ||by the seatube in twisty bridges and one in front of the first room on delta island|| and of course other locations as well, but those are to easiest ones.

[eternal fulcrum]

||maida|| doing some trolling

[west mountain]

Yes, ||she was the evil mind behind everything, or did she save us in the end???||

[rotund hinge]

Is the ||seatube|| that thing with like ||those 2 big aggressive fish|| in that crevasse like 200-300m from spawn

[west mountain]

its a location in twity bridges and there are brute sharks all over the place yes. Just ignore them or give them a swipe with the knife.

[rotund hinge]

That u can scan the blueprints for ||windows||

[west mountain]

Yes, exactly. There should be a habitat builder fragement inside the tube.

[rotund hinge]

I think I may have alr been there

-_-

[eternal fulcrum]

A common rule in subnsutica games is to scan EVERYTHING

[west mountain]

Have you been on delta island yet?

[rotund hinge]

I didn’t think there was anything scannable beside the ||window|| and I couldn’t see an opening so I didn’t think u could go inside

[rotund hinge]

I dunno am bad at geography

[eternal fulcrum]

Post the map

[west mountain]

There is a data box too by the table, then you would have seen that the tube is open from the other side. Go back and also look for the crane plattform too.

[rotund hinge]

Is that the place with the ||jumpscare lady in the robot||

[west mountain]

Yes, and the base on top

[rotund hinge]

I WENT I THERE TOO

not on top thoooo

;-;

[rotund hinge]

…and there

[eternal fulcrum]

Go on top good stuff up there

[west mountain]

Yes, on top. You have to go there anyhow again.

[rotund hinge]

Uggggggg

[eternal fulcrum]

Do it, it has some pay offs

[rotund hinge]

Well I don’t wanna make too much progress yet bc I do have a multiplayer mod installed and am waiting on a friend I just wanted to start making a base

[west mountain]

Ok, then you can explore together.

[rotund hinge]

Also can you uncraft waterproof lockers bc I had to make 3 of them to store all my extra stuff bc I couldn’t make actual storage yet

And that’s just 12 titanium gone otherwise

[west mountain]

Yes, later in the game with the recyclotron.

[rotund hinge]

Ok

Also is it normal to have an entire locker full of boomerang fish lmao

[west mountain]

Not necessary but why not 🙂

[rotund hinge]

Cuz I made a tacklebox basically

[west mountain]

Be my guest at my restaurant

Its up there

[rotund hinge]

Omg

That’s actually rlly pretty

[west mountain]

Its one of my 26 bases, its a theme park underwater and spa, restaurant and penthouse above.

[fading panther]

Proof Gravity isn’t real

[west mountain]

Or very strong material on 4546b

[fading panther]

Titanium is strong. But not that strong

[viral grail]

You never know

Prolly not the same titanium from earth

[west mountain]

BZ would not withstand a reality check very well, so it is OK.

[fading panther]

Now I’m thinking. Would titanium from another planet be different from ours, because titanium is an element

[rotund hinge]

26??

[west mountain]

No, the element would be exactly the same, but maybe the construction method.

[rotund hinge]

Bruhhh

How much playtime in that worlddd

[west mountain]

close to 500 hrs.

[rotund hinge]

omg

[west mountain]

I really built the first 20 bases with regular game play. But once I run out of all resources I used commands to get the materials for the rest of the bases.

[rotund hinge]

Fair

[fading panther]

I’m just going to continue to believe Alterra has Wizards

[rotund hinge]

Have like 12.5 hours in the game but almost all of it is just using commands to make a base

Never actually explored at all

[west mountain]

I indeed spent hundredes of hours drilling minerals, the entire map was empty.

[rotund hinge]

Which is why I’m doing it now with friends to get used to it b4 2 comes out

[blissful pecan]

Ok what was parvan drawing

"Inappropriate sea creatures" ??? PARVAN?

Is there something you'd like to share with the class

The fact there's an among us reference directly before it is the icing on the cake lmao

[steel shoal]

He's probably drawing them tearing people apart or something. It's inappropriate because he's not really supposed to draw that stuff while at work.

[dusky yew]

Do you respawn in your seatruck?

[woven orchid]

yeah

[steel shoal]

Only if you have at least one module, and the truck is horizontal enough for you to stand inside

[dusky yew]

No?

Actually I spawned inside without any modules

[steel shoal]

Oh, that's right

you only need the module to stand up, respawning works without it

[dusky yew]

When you respawn you are standing up, but if you get out you cant stand inside it again till you respawn in there

[blissful pecan]

I saw what it really was the posters in his room were sick

I'm watching jack's playthrough did they end up improving the snowfox later on

Because it just looks like a PAIN to use

[river kelp]

where can i find large quartz deposits

[vital oar]

idk what it was like early on but its sorta like ocarina of time hover boots but faster

[blissful pecan]

I meant from the full release

Cause full launch it basically was just slow, hard to control, and took major damage from tiny falls

[vital oar]

If you slow down you fall but if you can keep your momentum you can go pretty decently fast. Fragile and hard to control but based on that description it is less fragile than it was.

I played it very late into its existence so. Yeah i think they changed it

I dont hate using it

Ive definitely had it kinda take a beating on my adventures (like jumping it off an icy ramp and missing) and been able to keep it repaired but it does take damage pretty easily

[quaint sky]

i remember learning this fact from mia mulder during the Hindenburg episode of Well There's Your Problem

[raven plank]

If I were to eliminate all of the cryptosuchus around delta island, would they respawn?

[delicate raptor]

xbox is a computer prove me wrong.

[eternal garnet]

But it is

[fading wraith]

can you alt + f4 on a xbox? I dont think so!

[eternal garnet]

xbox isn't a windows PC, but it's really close actually. It runs a modified version of windows

PS is really alien compared

[carmine bobcat]

fax

[left jasper]

Started this game

Sucks that the character talks

[eternal garnet]

Is it because it breaks the illusion it is you?

she has a nice voice anyway

[carmine bobcat]

fr

[left jasper]

The silent protaganist worked really well for the horor aspect

[eternal garnet]

but can you think why?

[left jasper]

Also i dont like the idea of the plot immediatly for a survival game

[left jasper]

IT makes you as the palyer feel signfiicantly more alone

[eternal garnet]

Game is different. It's still good

ya, she will literally not be alone as you go on. Prepare for it

[left jasper]

Did they get rid of the horor?

[eternal garnet]

no

but be aware, the cyclops isn't here. Or the seamoth. There's the truck

[left jasper]

Immediatly the enviroments and flora and fauna feel recycled (Well theyare)

hopefulyl thatll improve later in the game

[eternal garnet]

general tips. save often. The air bladder is now really good. Always carry a beacon. If you hear a distress beep, this is important

sea monkeys will stop stealing soon. For now, hide your tool (E) or at least swap away seaglide. Chase, grab, don't attack

[wicked raft]

If your tired of hearing the word oxygen play on hardcore the sound will go away

[eternal garnet]

such an amazing tip

[left jasper]

Already did all these in my Sn1 playthrough

[wicked raft]

Shhh no one has to know

[left jasper]

By endgame i had like 5 beacons on me at once

[eternal garnet]

some of the tips were BZ specific though

[wicked raft]

Air blatter was good in sn1

[eternal garnet]

it was after the Living Large update

because BZ's air bladder got backported. It used to be super slow, and no emergency air source

[wicked raft]

Well I know that

It was still good early game

Especially when you can only go like 300m down at first

I beat Sn1 on hardcore. Definitely not going back down to get an achievement about bones cause I don't really feel like loosing a save

[left jasper]

Is the animal AI stupider on prupose?

[median badge]

the ONLY reason I chose to build my base in this hell hole

[eternal garnet]

note that the hoverpad does not need a base

[left jasper]

||i have an architechti n my head now? god this game is gonna be awful||

[median badge]

let the yapping begin

[left jasper]

I have no clue hwo they missed why people love there game this badl

[eternal garnet]

why is that bad? I don't get you

[median badge]

As for me, it's the storytelling, it's underwhelming at the best of time. The dialogue is by far my biggest gripe as of now (not yet reached the Ice Worm) because the characters sound like a bunch college grads trying to sound smart or funny despite being professional scientists. It really sounds like I'm listening to an audiobook if it's from Tumblr.

The QoL improvements are good tho and I actually kinda like the Snowfox, unlike many who trashed it.

[plush charm]

They sound almost cliche

[fleet moon]

Im thinking of playing below zero but ive heard ppl say its bad, i rll like the main game, should i get it?

[median badge]

get it, there are a lot of things feeling misguided from the original but there're still things to love in this game

oh yeah, Robin eats with her mouth open and you can hear all of that

[fleet moon]

Ayo

[median badge]

yes, "Subnautica Below Zero eating sound" is among the search suggestion on Youtube

[fleet moon]

Whaha😂

[wide crow]

UP THERE ???

yk what
quick base tour

playing hardcore

[jagged mist]

Got a new pc recently and ill finnaly be able to play below zero

Man this is hype

[wet matrix]

Where do I put my subnautica memes

[median badge]

in the time capsules

[hollow mountain]

I have tried the ||snowfox||. My experience is that it feels bad if you do anything other than driving in a straight line.

[wet matrix]

its a little awkward yes but I just practiced in creative getting it through winding tunnels

[median badge]

lol, bro is gone already???

wait, that's IT????

the whole session lasted 10 minutes?

[hollow mountain]

I've had it fall through the floor once...

[opaque bramble]

Christmas gift for her

[steel stream]

#memes-and-media

[wind flame]

Bz is more boring than I expected

[jagged nymph]

is this guy supposed to be here

how do u add spoilers to pictures

not really something to spoil but just to be sure

[raven plank]

Give it a whack and it’ll go away

[jagged nymph]

its just a dog with bigger teeth

and a bigger tail

damn my res is wrong

[raven plank]

True, very true, they always attack my prawnsuit though, like a bunch of sea pit bulls

[reef sleet]

When you add the picture it’ll show up in the bottom left hand side click it and then there should be an option to put a spoiler on it

[jagged nymph]

damn alr thanks

[reef sleet]

[eternal fulcrum]

fund a ion recharge chesse

step one dismantel threder or remove cube

2. make a ion battery from said cube

3. dismantel and a have a fully charged cube

Yipppe

[raven plank]

What do ion batteries/ power cells do?

[west mountain]

Btw you also get ininit number of normal batteries with the recyclotron

[west mountain]

5x more capacity

[eternal fulcrum]

batterties +

[raven plank]

Oh, is there like, nuclear batteries aswell? It’d be sick to send a sea truck with an unstable power cell towards a cryptosuchus

[west mountain]

No, ion batteries/cells are the best you get. And you can always bring spare batteries/cells with you.

[raven plank]

Oh, unlucky

[median badge]

man, I really hoped the leviathan AIs would be better in BZ but nah

it's like they have ADHD and immediately taps out after hitting you once to look for sth else

[west mountain]

I think they have a very natural behaviour. Note that they are not your enemy, just defend their territory or so. So imho, they are good enough

[median badge]

me whenever I see a carnivorous leviathan:

wait til I get the Torpedo Arm for the PRAWN Suit

[west mountain]

That does not do much. If you want to go on a rampage, use the seatruck. Best weapon in BZ.

[median badge]

maybe I should undock all the modules, makes it a lot more nimble

it's my early game "Everything killer"

[west mountain]

On the other hand, with some modules attached you get more punch.

[median badge]

more modules = more dmg?

[west mountain]

I would think so

[median badge]

choo-choo time

[west mountain]

Use the perimeter defense and the afterburner just before impact to max. damage.

[median badge]

🫡

it's hunting time

[west mountain]

Dont forget to scan them before they despawn.

[onyx tapir]

What’s y’all’s favorite song from the jukebox?

[west mountain]

Diving in too deep and Deep dive are my favourits. But I like that you can load your own songs onto the jukebox (on PC).

[median badge]

and just like that

had to punch it with the PRAWN Suit tho

[west mountain]

Why not the seatruck, much easier and almost 0 damage.

[median badge]

I'm pretty bad with maneuvering it to the leviathan's head

[eternal fulcrum]

so to mine the Ion deposits uhhmm do i need a prawn?

[west mountain]

Prawn with drillarm

[eternal fulcrum]

put uhh how do i get it there

[west mountain]

You walk with the prawn there, or what you mean?

[eternal fulcrum]

no but the ||ice wroms|| or are there none?

[west mountain]

Yes, through there. Bring a repair tool with you.

[eternal fulcrum]

okay

right or rong area to get to the area?

[west mountain]

Right area

[eternal fulcrum]

forwards or ?

[west mountain]

I cannot give directions in Arctic spires, everything looks the same. When in doubt, use a youtube tutorial. I would not even find it myself right now, sorry.

[eternal fulcrum]

oh

[west mountain]

Do you already have the ||alien tissue from arctic spires|| ?

[minor turret]

The ||purple vents mercury II wreck || only has two scannable fragments right? The ||Parallel Processing Unit|| fragments?

[west mountain]

I think so, yes.

[minor turret]

ok thanks

[eternal fulcrum]

No im looking for that and ion cubes

[west mountain]

I made a video tutorial how to get there, if you get totally lost: https://youtu.be/i_QKANUgjlg

But try it yourself, otherwise no fun.

[eternal fulcrum]

thx and im lost the secund i enter the spires

what the () a ice worm was flying and my prawn ejected me

[west mountain]

You let him finish the attack, return, repair and continue. Just make sure to save before you enter the area because the prawn suit might get destroid. It occasionally happens but should not when at 100% health. Make sure the prawn always is fully repaired.

[eternal fulcrum]

uh no i was att the bridge when this happend

i wunder is my game bugged

uh ohh

[west mountain]

Yes, its always there, some animations are always triggered.

[eternal fulcrum]

oh

still bites/impales?

[west mountain]

Of course, every attack is real

[eternal fulcrum]

the growing tubes things

can i use them as a safe location to save?

[west mountain]

No, just continue and dont worry. Continue and repair. The only save places are above ground, e.g. higher terrain.

[eternal fulcrum]

i got there so shuld i just try to get back or use a tp modul (i got enuf to make a secund prawn

[west mountain]

No, the way back is actually the more interesting part. Go exactly as I did but you might not be able to take the prawn that way. But you will see what I mean.

[eternal fulcrum]

i do have a grappeling hook to it may work

[west mountain]

You will see 🙂

[eternal fulcrum]

wait

[eternal fulcrum]

what way shuld i take insteed if this one dusent work

[west mountain]

The same you came here. Also if you have the laser cutter you might take the underwater tunnel, I dont know if the prawn fits there. But give it a try. But first I would explore everything you can, there is sooo much stuff there.

[eternal fulcrum]

the what

[west mountain]

The place ||where the alien teleporter is, there is also the alien elevator going down to a underground lake and there is a tunnel to the ocean. But you need a laser cutter to get through there.||. Its a short way out and back in.

[eternal fulcrum]

the tp workt fine

[west mountain]

Yes, but you cannot leave phi robotics.

[eternal fulcrum]

yes i can

[west mountain]

Really??? Ok, sorry, then I was wrong.

[eternal fulcrum]

you just got jump and turn abit

[west mountain]

Ok, sneaky.

So you got|| 1 pile of ion cubes. There are 2 more hidden there||

[eternal fulcrum]

in that cave you went to befor leaving for the teleporter?

i missed them in that case

[west mountain]

No, there was something much more valuable. Dont tell me you missed them

[eternal fulcrum]

..

[eternal fulcrum]

about that.. uh

[west mountain]

There were your pet friends

[eternal fulcrum]

my what?

[west mountain]

The pets of BZ, two ||blue trivalve eggs||

[eternal fulcrum]

oh

[eternal fulcrum]

is the teleporter one or multi use

[west mountain]

Now that its open it works from either side as often as you want. When you go back, make sure to also open the underwater access, just for fun

[eternal fulcrum]

i can go back and get them

(after i eat some food)

[west mountain]

And once you have the two blue ones, you also want the two rarest eggs of BZ, the two ||yellow trivalve eggs|| and if you like danger then also the only two ||squidshark eggs|| in the game

[blissful pecan]

||testing to see if this spoilers a message||

Ok cool thats how that works

||So... what's Robin gonna eat on the Architect homeworld, seeing as they live off electricity||

[eternal fulcrum]

they still have eatable bio mater.

[eternal fulcrum]

on the west side of marg's base, whats a matterial fussion and why is it hot

[west mountain]

??? you mean the vulcanic activities in the tree spires tunnel from Marges base? What do you mean with matterial fussion???

[blissful pecan]

Dadgum

[eternal fulcrum]

uh

ah fissure?

[west mountain]

Yes, its just an underground vulcano, same as around delta island. Ideal to use the thermal power plant.

[eternal fulcrum]

ah so if i want to live beside marg i shuld use that for power?

[west mountain]

Yes
.

[west mountain]

But she is not very talkative. Tried to invite her over for tea but she did not come over yet.

[eternal fulcrum]

thats why i call her "grumpy lady" when i dont remmber her name

where shuld i dump pinnakarid corpses

omg it's so small

wa uh uu waht you can just say no to a ice worm

[west mountain]

Does not do anything noticable. Better to use the jump upgrade instead. Very dissapoining.

[eternal fulcrum]

prob some part of the code isent properly made so its not doing what it shuld

[bold monolith]

No, it works as intended.

[eternal fulcrum]

what then why duse it exist

[west mountain]

It is a somewhat reduction but honestly you dont feel it as a player. Also because you only have one upgrade slot and the jump is so much better.

[eternal fulcrum]

explain to me how it acully works

im goan trust a person who's job is to test the game

[west mountain]

It does what it sais, it does reduce the number of attacks by a certain percentage let's say 25 or 30% , thats all. So you will still get attacked. Again, as a player it is not noticable. Also after a while you know the trigger points and you know what is coming, As for me, I simply ignore the ice worm and when he throws me off, then I enjoy the animation and get back on and continue.

[eternal fulcrum]

i can 100% understand why jumping wuld be a better thing

[bold monolith]

30% you're right.

[eternal fulcrum]

it wuld be better to make a upgrade that makes it so you dont get throw off so often

[west mountain]

At least it gives you immediately the opportunity to repair 🙂

[bold monolith]

I would have to explain how the iceworm works. It's quite complicated so let me go with the short version. When you enter areas you add percentage to the global chance of an iceworm to be invoked. Using a snowfox increases that value by default in comparison of being on foot. Once the hunt mode is activated, an iceworm will be invoked at specific places with different abilities it can do.

The module reduces the value added by a snowfox.

By 30% as said.

[west mountain]

Excellent thank you very much! The issue is more the trade off between the two upgrades. That makes the reduction meaningless imho.

[eternal fulcrum]

know what both the idea i suggested and the pree existing upgrad wuld be better if both exist

[daring crater]

where is the best place for the second base

[eternal fulcrum]

where is your first

[daring crater]

in here

or somewhere near twisty bridges

[eternal fulcrum]

ok and i knew i forgot something when sorting eggs

[west mountain]

For game play or for building pleasure? For game play there is almost not need for a second base. Probabely at Phi dock for the land exploration part or so. Delta Island is very central on the map also, that might be helpful.

[carmine bobcat]

How do I attach the seatruck dock to my base???

[west mountain]

With a tube segment. You first have to connect a tube to your base and then the dock.

[eternal fulcrum]

what thire better words to use

use basic swedish sometimes, the the se wuld have to be sillant

[carmine bobcat]

this?

[west mountain]

Any of the tube compartments, yes.

[carmine bobcat]

TYSM!

[eternal fulcrum]

im gona go back in time and find who made a ömsesidig with a silent se

[daring crater]

can you send location of it?

[median badge]

bro is stuck ||(and dead)||

the ||Crystal Cavern ||is now safe

[eternal fulcrum]

this is what BZ dose when you do something it dusent like

gona test something

@west mountain i did a thing

fixed my problems and build a moon pool for parking

[median badge]

I find it funny how useless the Vehicle Console for the Moonpool is in BZ, because almost anything can now be crafted with a regular fabricator

[eternal fulcrum]

yeah

[hard pond]

guys

i have a problem

i think im not in Below Zero anymore

[silk meadow]

you are Above Zero

[hard pond]

😨

[untold harness]

guys I’m just coming back to the subnautica fanbase and I wanna play BZ. I already have a world but I honestly forget everything about it and what I did so far. So should I continue on this world or make a new one?

[broken badge]

I’d probably start a new one, but you can always keep your old save too

[untold harness]

thanks for the suggestion!

also, does anyone know how to change the color of your vehicle on switch? I go to the terminal but the controls are very confusing

[mighty maple]

Epic Screen Shot! (Contains possible spoilers)

[broken badge]

You need either moonpool with vehicle upgrade console or the seatruck dock
Hopefully this short video helps

It’s not on switch but the method is the same (I’ve played on switch)

[untold harness]

thank you sooo much! I was confused when the blue box was on the color thing what I was supposed to do but this helped!

[broken badge]

Np

[loud ridge]

For eons the one we call shadow leviathan has terrorized our prawns.
Well no longer shall they kill me for needing ruby’s!

[west mountain]

3 more to go.

[loud ridge]

*2 more

[steel shoal]

@untold harness the game will take about 40 minutes or more to save

next time, save more often, and play for shorter sessions

[untold harness]

I’ve been playing for like 10 minutes

[steel shoal]

well that's terrible

The world streaming bug has not yet been fixed, because it's seemingly impossible to find the cause.

[untold harness]

it didn’t even save my world I exited out the game XD

I wanted to start a new world but I guess not

[steel shoal]

Try again

Check if you have enough free storage in the Switch

[untold harness]

10GB free

[steel shoal]

Just try again, the bug is not super common

[untold harness]

alright

[steel shoal]

Many people experienced it, but only once

[silk meadow]

strait to wallpaper

[mighty maple]

Uh no a theft

[untold harness]

bro I’m actually so confused. when I first played BZ I wasn’t scared at all and I could even go into biomes like purple vents. but I’m playing it again and idk why but I’m scared of litteraly everything and I almost have a panic attack if I even hear a slight noise.

[raven plank]

I’m trying to get to a vent garden but it’s in chelicerate territory, do I run past it or run away?

[whole wolf]

past

100%

[raven plank]

I just did it lol

Was crying the whole way

At one point I went up to the wall of the vent garden to get a better look at the chelicerate

It aggro’d me and started biting through the wall

I was crying so much

[onyx tapir]

you can do that?

how???

[west mountain]

Go the the folder In your user profile --> Music --> Unknown Worlds --> Subnautica and place mp3 files in there.

[onyx tapir]

Ahhh Alr thanks

[raven plank]

I just ran into a chelicerate in the purple vents 😭 didn’t know they spawned there 😭

[west mountain]

Yes, there is one there.

[raven plank]

Should I be saving the green cubes or can I use them freely without any later repercussion?

[west mountain]

You can use them but make sure to have at least one spare in the end. Also there are ||drillable ion cube deposits|| later in the game, so you will not run out.

[raven plank]

Oh, that’s nice to know

[hollow nebula]

Subnautica below zero Runs at 50+ fps
Everything in low/disabled
in a i3 Third generation
4gb ram
Intel hd graphics 5500

Funny how the First game runs barely at 30 fps

[carmine bobcat]

guys, my prawn suit is stuck in a cave

what can I do?

[loud ridge]

Get in it and try jumping to freedom-?

[carmine bobcat]

i can get in it

but i cant move it

[loud ridge]

Do you have a grapple hook arm on it?

[carmine bobcat]

mmm i havent unlocked that yet

no

[loud ridge]

Get in and click unstuck in the settings
The game might move you and the prawn out

[carmine bobcat]

it teleports me without the prawn 😦

its getting worse 💀

[loud ridge]

No if you get back in you might be able to jump it free

[carmine bobcat]

bruh, it didnt work

its not touching the ground

its literally floating there

[loud ridge]

Well uhhh

Make a grapple arm then return later

[carmine bobcat]

should i keep the prawn there and get the grapple?

or make a new prawnsuit

[carmine bobcat]

mmm ill try

i just need 1 fragment

[loud ridge]

I’ll find some locations of the fragments

[carmine bobcat]

yeah i need 1

[loud ridge]

||https://youtube.com/watch?v=YeZbqDwyEAY&si=liDtT0ST2EgLSg-l||

Did it help?

[carmine bobcat]

tyyy i found it

just 1, im searching for another fragment

[raven plank]

Is the shadow fish around the start of the crystal caves or is it deeper in?

[carmine bobcat]

both i think

[raven plank]

Oh, I found the entrance for the place and I really need kyanite, but I kinda don’t want my prawn to be ripped to shreds

[carmine bobcat]

LOL

[carmine bobcat]

its not that hard tho

[raven plank]

Very paranoid, should I come back with my seatruck?

[carmine bobcat]

the prawn suit is better ngl

[raven plank]

Oh, that makes sense probably, can I attack the shadow fish thing if it grabs onto me?

[carmine bobcat]

idk i always escape from it

he never damaged my prawnsuit

cuz he didnt catch me

so idk 😭

[raven plank]

Oh, I don’t have a grappling arm though lol, I always just punch anything that attacks me

[loud ridge]

I don’t think the shadow leviathan can grab the sea truck, but the prawn can get into smaller places to avoid it so…

[raven plank]

Oh

Also does anyone know where I can find magnetite? I haven’t run across any yet

[loud ridge]

To quote google
|| While it can spawn in many biomes, it is most commonly found on the walls and ceiling of the Deep Lilypads Cave area. Lucky players can also find Ore Veins full of Magnetite in this area as well, so players in need should just search this biome thoroughly.||

[raven plank]

Oh, that’s useful thank you

[loud ridge]

Np

[raven plank]

||I’m at the phi robotics center right now, and I’m trying to move a large box blocking an entrance, and I can’t move it for some reason (I’m using a propulsion cannon) not sure if it’s glitched or something|| need some advice

[carmine bobcat]

@loud ridge IT WORKED

[loud ridge]

YIPPPEEEEE

[carmine bobcat]

tyyyy

[loud ridge]

Happy to help 🙏 🙏

[left jasper]

Got this ridicuulously early game lmao

cant wait to see what the other o rignal vieichles in this game are

[loud ridge]

||I’m gonna tell you this next part gently…||

[tame prairie]

How am I supposed to get diamonds if they're found deeper down, but my Seatruck's depth module ALSO requires diamonds??

[keen dagger]

You can find diamonds in deep twisty bridges, and you also find plenty of oxygen plants to help you

[tame prairie]

thanks

[finite acorn]

i cant find the horse power upgrade for the seatruck 😦

[eternal fulcrum]

yall going to deep twisty to get dimonds nah im doing in the delta caves

just a few hits and the lizzards run

YALL shuld i build a base in the ice worm domain?

[eternal fulcrum]
