below-zero-chat

[fading panther]

Possibly

[south burrow]

Would've been enough until the concentrated enzyme came around I think

[steel shoal]

She wasn't eating peepers for 9 years

It was 100%

The disease would alter the genetic code of the cells, causing them to die

[south burrow]

I mean

[steel shoal]

Apparently, Maida survived it for 11 years

• however how long it took for the enzyme to reach Sector Zero

[pulsar tapir]

maybe she stole some of the cure found in sector zero

[steel shoal]

Which cure?

[fading panther]

I choose to believe that she just Built Different

[steel shoal]

The antidote recipe is not canon

[south burrow]

whaaaat

[steel shoal]

They said it's strictly for gameplay purposes, in case you lost it.

[pulsar tapir]

...the antidote. whatever.

[south burrow]

also that's still a decade after she got the bacterium, she doesn't meet sam for a while

[mellow quarry]

The antidote for the disease is only from the ||emperor||

[fading panther]

Is that why it’s so easy to make?

[south burrow]

yeah

[steel shoal]

Yes!

It's exactly why, I can look up the dev comment

[south burrow]

Man I was clowning on the precursors before for not finding such an easy combination of plants 😭

[fading panther]

So many things have just been answered to me

[steel shoal]

Sam stole the research from the lab and made a flask with the cure. She probably stole the ingredients too.

[pulsar tapir]

maybe she was able to craft the antidote

[steel shoal]

She left a backup antidote in a cave, in case someone tries to finish her work

[south burrow]

How long did it take the peepers to spread the enzyme

[steel shoal]

The peepers are useless

[south burrow]

do they not spread the sea dragon's enzymes

[mellow quarry]

Guess the Scrapped Below Zero monster!

Hints:

• It is a relative of a VERY iconic creature from the base game.
• It has blue accents.
• It has a black beak/black mandibles.

[fading panther]

Ice dragon leviathan

[pulsar tapir]

yea peepers coulda spread the concentrated enzymes releaaed by the juvis

[willow canopy]

why no one dont love kidnapping pinguins

[mellow quarry]

Wrong.

• Hint: its relative is VERY annoying in the base game

[steel shoal]

They serve no purpose anymore, all those evolutionary traits are pretty much useless and detrimental to their survival. They only spread the broken enzyme because the Emperor isn't swimming around

[south burrow]

And for some reason they can't spread the concentrated enzyme??

[steel shoal]

Not effectively, at least

There's no pipe system

[south burrow]

yeah but clearly they've spread to many biomes across the planet as shown by their arctic variants

[steel shoal]

Peepers can't survive that long during that mission

[south burrow]

i think thousands of peepers can spread it more effectively than 5 sea dragons

[mellow quarry]

Since no one is answering, the answer is the crested reaper

[south burrow]

considering they don't swim very fast

[steel shoal]

They puke out all the food inside them, then fill up their entire digestive track with the enzyme, and try to find a predator to kill them

[south burrow]

and apparently it worked enough to get them to the arctic

so i don't see why it wouldn't continue to work

[steel shoal]

They didn't go to the artic

Maybe alpha peeper did, but these ones don't

they can't really survive in the cold and dangerous EDZ, especially when they're starving

[pulsar tapir]

why could the alpha peeper and not modern peepers?

[steel shoal]

Because life was different back then

Modern peepers aren't built for that long traversal

But maybe, the pipe system includes warp gates that lead to other locations

[fading panther]

Huh, Neat

[steel shoal]

And that's why Sector Zero has peepers with the orifices, and life

[fading panther]

Yes, Crater peepers have no life

[steel shoal]

Chat, can I ban them?

[south burrow]

Yes

[south burrow]

Anyways, understandable

[fading panther]

[south burrow]

It's entirely possible evolution occurs much faster on 4546B

[steel shoal]

The pipe system is incompatible with the peepers spreading the enzyme, because the juveniles are not in the Containment Facility

[south burrow]

But it's more likely

That the arctic peepers got there long long ago

[pulsar tapir]

why? what did i do?

[steel shoal]

But they still have the orifices

Like Oculi

They serve no purpose, and are overall a detriment to the species

This was either looked over by the designers or a peeper ancestor evolved these traits around 1000 years ago, and then evolved into peeper, oculus and arctic peeper

[south burrow]

How much do we even know about peepers though, it could very well be a decorative piece to attract mates

[steel shoal]

And it wasn't alpha peeper because Reginalds and Eyeyes evolved from it too

[fading panther]

Science

[pulsar tapir]

who says they have to have all the traits?

[steel shoal]

We know that these features serve seemingly no purpose, and then it was revealed that they were specifically for their mission

[south burrow]

without those heroic peepers, life on 4546B might very well have been reduced to almost nothing

[steel shoal]

The PDA says it would be nothing

The 1% of species that survived is a result of the peepers spreading the incomplete enzyme

Do y'all think the Emperors will die early?

[south burrow]

Do we know if things like sea dragons eat sea emperor juveniles

[steel shoal]

The species had previously gone extinct due to the death of their food. I don't think 1000 years later, the food would be back

[south burrow]

Don't they eat microorganisms

[steel shoal]

They can communicate with predators

Sharks become friendly by their command

[south burrow]

Cool

[steel shoal]

I don't think sharks are smart

[steel shoal]

Well yeah but maybe there's 99% less of them these days

[south burrow]

I'm wondering how a bacterium can infect something just as big as it is

I feel like at that point just eat the literal bacterium

[steel shoal]

The Emperor is infected too

[feral coyote]

is she

[south burrow]

Well yeah she can't produce the correct enzyme 42

[steel shoal]

Yes, but the disease is in a dormant state, not dead

[south burrow]

I mean like

Why not eat the kharaa itself

[feral coyote]

doesnt she generates a small amount of 42 still
i thought that was why the creatures in the aquarium were peaceful

[south burrow]

The 42 is produced but it's not concentrated enough to cure

[steel shoal]

It's enough for it to survive, but the creatures that ingest it only have some relieving effects

Takes the babies to neutralize the disease

You need to feed multiple Enzyme Host Peepers to heal a shark, but a blob from the babies heals instantly

[south burrow]

I wonder if the sea emperors are adaptable enough to find a new food source like how humans can eat most living creatures on the planet safely (or mostly safely)

if they're only limited to microorganisms the planet might be doomed

[steel shoal]

I hope they are, would be awful to bring em back to an environment that doesn't support them

[south burrow]

Not just the planet actually

Alterra has the kharaa, are actively weaponizing it, and the only cure is from a race of dying creatures

This does not spell good for the galaxy

[steel shoal]

Well

They don't seem to want to do that

They're using it to heal diseases

Let's not judge a book by its cover

[fading panther]

What if the cover is Judging you?

[willow canopy]

i kidnapped 300 pengling and I'm going to realese them to Meida base

[steel shoal]

Alterra has plenty reason to be the good guys. Remember that highly ambitious, ginormous project that went missing some months ago? Yeah, maybe investors need something else to look at

[steel shoal]

Helyea

[willow canopy]

is 300 enough or i should farm it to 1k?

[south burrow]

Their cover: a former war profiteering corporation that upgraded to a trans-gov with an expansion by all costs mindset

[steel shoal]

Uhhh each side tells its own story?

G-guys, Alterra isn't that bad!! I'm also totally not paid

The contract said not to tell you about it

[south burrow]

Slide me a paycheck I'll sing their praises

[fading panther]

I keep eating my cook books

[steel shoal]

I think you need to cook it first

[south burrow]

Alterra does do some good, unironically

They support small businesses

by absorbing them

BUT they do give the owners a seat on the board of directors

[feral coyote]

...and thats good
somehow

[south burrow]

which imo is a net positive for them financially

[south burrow]

^^

• it allows them to expand beyond the planet they're on

[fading panther]

Is that why Some British guy keeps jumping through My window and Screaming “RAW” while hitting my book with a hammer

[steel shoal]

Alterra isn't evil, they're money oriented but they treat their workers really well

[south burrow]

We wouldnt have the cyclops if not for that practice

[south burrow]

Wasn’t the Neptune escape rocket modified specifically to Ryley’s conditions solely for him to get home safely? That’s pretty good worker insurance I’d say

[feral coyote]

im now imagining gordon climbing a ladder to get into your window lmao

[south burrow]

Minus the whole debt thing but we can ignore that for now

[steel shoal]

I wish a job was enough for me to have a comfortable life.

[feral coyote]

im pretty sure the message that this is stated in just meant that the rocket can be made using the materials on the planet

[south burrow]

It also says modified to suit weather conditions, the planet’s gravity, etc.

[steel shoal]

The debt is a controversial topic because the developers said it was a joke and Alterra HQ gave permission

[feral coyote]

oh yeah btw regarding alterra ethics

i was too lazy to read through the pdas regarding sam why did she hate alterra exactly

[south burrow]

Sam didn’t hate Alterra

She was trying to change it from the inside to be a better corporation and not exploit things

E.g. ||the frozen leviathan, and kharaa in general||

[south burrow]

The 1 trillion number or just any debt in general

Cuz there’s multiple lines regarding debt from the PDA

[fading panther]

Space inflation is crazy

[south burrow]

I mean tbf considering how advanced the tech we got from the aurora was

I get the price tag

[steel shoal]

They're regarding the same debt

[south burrow]

I’m aware, I was asking if the joke was the final price or the existence of debt at all

[steel shoal]

Alterra is known for being unethical. Sam accepted their job despite it, reassuring Robin that they weren't actually evil. ||She then loses her life based on an assumption||

[steel shoal]

Probably the existence.

[pulsar tapir]

"YOU DONUT!"

[fading panther]

Gah, He’s back!

[south burrow]

Ok

[pulsar tapir]

are there enough singular diamonds in the koppa mine to make a seatruck depth mk1 and a prawn?

[sleek nexus]

why no sonar in below zero. also why no lead or lithium big sized rocks?

[south burrow]

I think I got enough when I was there

[pulsar tapir]

the mineral detector is actually useful for diamonds

what do i do?

[south burrow]

You have to swim down without it

You can squeeze it in if you try tho

[pulsar tapir]

...it's stuck. thats my problem

[south burrow]

Then squeeze it out the same way it came in

It can go out I’ve done it

[pulsar tapir]

i've been doing that...

[south burrow]

You just need to shimmy it correctly, don’t stop trying

[azure idol]

Reload your last save

[pulsar tapir]

yay it worked...but im inside the mine now...i wanna be outside

time to do more weird shimmyings

are there enough prawn frags in the mine for a whole prawn?

[gentle spindle]

yes, there are

[pulsar tapir]

and the drill arm?

[coarse spruce]

below zero worth it? Just completed subnautica

[south burrow]

Yeah definitely, tho don’t expect it to be the same as the og game, it’s got a different vibe

[pulsar tapir]

the starting biome (twisty bridges) is beautiful enough to make the whole game worth it

i get ribbon plants from ventgardens, right?

[bold monolith]

No.

If you meant the spiral plants, yes.

[pulsar tapir]

yes, that's what i meant, thank you

[steel stream]

Either wiggle through the door again, or go inside the mine and out through the tunnels starting from the ceiling of the big mining chamber (needs depth mk1 though)

[pulsar tapir]

o hi there

[tough hearth]

lol

[dapper swallow]

and the lifepod?

robin gotta get there through the meteor storm

[patent trout]

I dont have the little ball ship yet

[dapper swallow]

ohh

[patent trout]

I think theres an asteroid field actualy too

[dapper swallow]

i dont remember quite

[hybrid carbon]

yo i just started playing this again!

[winged swallow]

How to get ion batteries?

[pulsar tapir]

i love that sea monkeys are helpful now

[eternal garnet]

acquired by scanning six Architect Artifacts. Including non-beacon ones

[winged swallow]

Kk I just scanned the energy one on the || ice worm island||

[patent trout]

Nice :D

Also who deleted it >:(

[hybrid carbon]

wrong channel

gotta go into off-topic

[unkempt ermine]

I finally managed to scan a ||chelicerate||!
This was the hardest leviathan to scan so far in both games

I swear it would've been easier to scan the planet itself than this thing

[worthy gyro]

u have to scan it to scan the planet :/

can someone help me find the skeleton

[willow canopy]

guys i gut 720 pingling

[sleek nexus]

Just fineshed this game. Very cool ending but there seems to be one thing not explained. how did Marguerit Maida survive ?

[unborn fjord]

it was explained i forgot when but basically ||back in sn1 it stopped at her getting dragged by a reaper, basically she got dragged to the craters edge and managed to kill it with a scrap of metal, then used his ribcage (or whatever his insides) as shelter while it floated, used its fat to make fire and ate him to stay alive and eventually she drifted to sector zero out of sheer luck||

shes built different

[sleek nexus]

how do you put spoiler tags?

[zenith crown]

||

|| like two of these line thingies

[sleek nexus]

||

[zenith crown]

on either side of a message

||ergo||

[unborn fjord]

both*

both sides

[sleek nexus]

|test|

[unborn fjord]

2 bars

[zenith crown]

two

[sleek nexus]

||test||

[unborn fjord]

nice

[zenith crown]

good job, mais

[sage smelt]

[unborn fjord]

shrimp

[jovial stone]

Scary srimp

[unborn fjord]

srary scimp

[sleek nexus]

so what i mean was how did Marguerit survived the ||bacteria||?

sorry for the delay lol

[steel stream]

Yes, that is in the pdas you can get in-game, but it doesn't explain|| how she survived kharaa...||

[unborn fjord]

That can only be theorized on @steel stream

Popular one is eating ||leviathan flesh||

Its due to a biological rule that stuff contained in smaller fishes carry on in bigger predator organisms

Aka ||peepers with enzyme were carried around up to the reaper maida killed, and by eating him she delayed her infection||

[sleek nexus]

But i assume there's no pda explaining this right?

[pulsar tapir]

nop. there's her logs saying ||how she lived in the reaper, but nothing about how she survived kharaa||

[eternal garnet]

too stubborn to die

[thick quarry]

Bro in here speaks in spoilers

[fading panther]

Cuz we posed to

[light gazelle]

cant you open these with a laser cutter?

cuz it dosent let me-

its by the ||big bridgey||
thingy

[pulsar tapir]

open what? i cant tell...and it only works on sealed doors and crates

[light gazelle]

like\

theres this ice wall thing, and for a split sec it tells me "use laser cutter to open"

but only when i smash my face with the ||seaglide|| on it xD

like is it a bug and i need to open it from the other side maybe?

[pulsar tapir]

might be a door or crate on the other side

[light gazelle]

like this is wot hpapens

[light gazelle]

it dosent look like theres ANYTHING on the other side- the seaglider map does show a rly lonk tunnel behind it and theres a really long ||architect cable|| leading to it-

like i can see some fishies and stuff but thats it

just tunnel

[pulsar tapir]

hm

what biome?

[light gazelle]

||eye jelly area by the big bridge idk what its called 😭 ||

||glacial bay maybe?||

[pulsar tapir]

yea glacial bay...idk. look around, see if there's another entrance

[light gazelle]

welp didnt find any other enterance-

must be from ||inland||

[steel shoal]

Yes, but this one is special

It's a shortcut, you need to open it from the other side.

All other ice walls can be cut from both sides. Yes, it uses the laser cutter.

[steel shoal]

There's a cave with a long underwater corridor and bladderfish. Look around! You'll find more than what you expect.

[steel shoal]

Hmmmmmmm please play more BZ

[light gazelle]

ah okie ty!

[light gazelle]

ooooo okie thank uuu, i just got back to the game after a bit so was confused xD

[steel shoal]

I was confused for a bit too

But eventually, I got there

[south burrow]

YOU CAN CUT THOSE??

[fading panther]

Yes

[steel shoal]

Yes

[south burrow]

I missed out holy

[pulsar tapir]

o. in SN only doors and crates can be opened with a laser cutter...

[steel shoal]

Crates..?

[unborn fjord]

The more you know

[fading panther]

Some of the loot crates are locked right

[steel shoal]

Nonono, BZ has the locked crates

[fading panther]

Huh, never noticed that

[steel shoal]

They're usually active nuclear reactor rods

[fading panther]

Yummy

[steel shoal]

In BZ, you can also laser cut the ice walls and some underwater snowballs, that function like Brain Coral

[south burrow]

yeah i had enough for my reactor when i built it cuz of that

[deep yew]

Finding the lilypad crevice

Was tough

[pulsar tapir]

ignore the crates

[glacial gorge]

im confused.
i know the only way flora and fauna are able to live in subnautica is because of the ||crater||, but how can they live in below zero?
is there another ||crater||? Or what?

[unborn fjord]

Another area with life called sector zero

[south burrow]

The crater isn't the only place that supports life on the planet, life is just separated into section on 4546B in general due to the inhospitability of the rest of the planet. Sector Zero just happened to be another of those spaces

[jovial stone]

No hate but like sheesh Below Zero on Switch runs just as bad as Scarlet and Violet .w.

[fading panther]

I believe you

[jovial stone]

Like both Below Zero and Launch Patch Scarlet and Violet are my most crashed Switch games

[long orchid]

how do i enter ||koppa|| without rebreather or seatruck

[gentle spindle]

you could make a small base down there as an oxygen checkpoint

[deep yew]

Prawn suit

Lolololol

[long orchid]

Don’t you need diamonds for that

[deep yew]

I unno

I havent built a prawn suit in BZ in forever

I lowkey wanna 100% scan everything in subnautica

[worthy gyro]

can someone help me find skeleton

[south burrow]

Yes, and there are oxygen plants in that base, however it would be best to gear up first

[next current]

It's right next to the Ice Worm Boneyard, inside a fissure. It has a large stony spire above it if that helps.

I recommend taking a Prawn Suit with the Drill Arm as there is ||a large Ion Cube deposit in the Arctic Spires Cache.||

[eternal garnet]

That's not skeleton though. that is where ||tissues ||are

[next current]

My brain went back to early access below zero.

[south burrow]

skeleton is the first one i'm p sure

[next current]

My apologies.

[eternal garnet]

there's no first one. it's the only one with a signal on it

[south burrow]

||sequentially it is the first one you are notified of the location of, the others have hints to their locations, with tissue 2nd and organs 3rd||

[eternal garnet]

no. They all come at once.

we had this discussion

Although, the signal is delayed. And there's only one signal

or, sure you could say it's the first, but also the last

[south burrow]

||i don't understand how you don't think the hints are enough of a location to be considered 2nd and 3rd sequentially, that's how you're intended to collect them, and they aren't given all at once. you get the signal for the first one, then after scanning more artifacts you get the hint for the arctic spires, then after scanning a couple more you get a hint for the organs in the crystal caves||

[eternal garnet]

well ok then, you see it a little differently. I do see people ask for the 2nd and third, and that's just misleading. They do have names

[south burrow]

yeah they do have names but they're given to you to find in a certain order

without any outside information, that is the order in which you would find them going by story

[worthy gyro]

bro im a visual learner also i was hugging the wall to find something and i got attacked by two ||void Chelicerates|| and my ||prawn suit with all upgrades exploded|| and i got sent deep into the ||void||

they literally dragged me down

the void music is scary bro

[worthy gyro]

im levatating

[worthy gyro]

i was here
\

[steel stream]

It would be very rare to see that in below zero...

[dawn dirge]

So you’re saying killing this thing is rare cause I just did that

[steel stream]

I mean that this is below zero chat and screenshot seems to be from the first game...

[dawn dirge]

It’s not it’s from Below Zero

[steel stream]

It's not: there are creatures, plants and landscape which don't exist in below zero

But even in first game warpers shouldn't be seen in safe shallows

[eternal garnet]

they appeared unkillable when I tried

[dawn dirge]

Are you sure because I somehow got to kill mine?

[eternal garnet]

no
But pic is definitely from SN1

[dawn dirge]

No

[eternal garnet]

those mushrooms are not in BZ. WArper is not. The terrain is also SN1. So you can stop now

I also see a gasopod. Not in BZ

[dawn dirge]

No, I think you’re going crazy

[eternal garnet]

[naive arrow]

hi

[steel stream]

I've heard people killing warpers, but also that they warp away when attacked, so need to do a lot of damage fast to kill it. Also heard that the corpse warps away after a few seconds (and new one will still spawn in)

[long orchid]

the corpse warps away right after it dies

[winged wagon]

God i forgot how good this game looks.

[cloud shell]

If only sn1 had a graphics remaster like this game did..

[winged wagon]

I mean one thing i realized was that woh once i used reshade on this the game looks black and white once i turn reshade off lol

[cloud shell]

I wish I could use reshade on ps4

[winged wagon]

Like this is WITH reshade

Or is it wait

[cloud shell]

Non pixilated textures 🤤

[winged wagon]

With reshade it looks like this

Without? yeah big difference should put some more bloom tho

[cloud shell]

Beautiful game

[winged wagon]

This was a bad comparsion since i lowk forgot to add another type of bloom

[winged wagon]

This is actually so nice looking lol

but then uhh

the sunset w reshade is soooo beautifulll

[cloud shell]

I love the more blueish tones on bz

I really want a graphic update for sn 1 tho.. sighs

[winged wagon]

true but oh my god i realized when your on land on the delta base or smth

[cloud shell]

Fr

[winged wagon]

Its legit black and white

[cloud shell]

Yeahh

[torpid pendant]

Hey guys if I Accidentally enable cheats and don’t you put any commands does it still disable achievements?

[winged wagon]

iirc yes BUT no idea on subnautica bz since this happened to me on the original subnautica

I'm assuming they still do the same with bz

[torpid pendant]

Awh

Sad

Welp time to reset the file Ig

[winged wagon]

Huh?

you dont need to delete your save?

[torpid pendant]

Yeah but then no achievements

And I like my achievements

[winged wagon]

Why do the achievements matter to you?

[torpid pendant]

Dunno

[winged wagon]

Thats just a waste of time. Dont do it.

[torpid pendant]

Nah it’s only two hrs

[winged wagon]

Your call then

I seriously need to buy a 0.5 liter carton (i think) of cold starbucks coffee while i play thiss

[pulsar tapir]

i wish Marguerit's lantern trees gave you fruit you can use

although fevered peppers are better

[steel shoal]

There are Lantern Trees in Ø

[pulsar tapir]

i know that. i just wish it was easier

[steel shoal]

I'm more worried about her Bulb Trees

I want some too

[pulsar tapir]

although the spicy fruit salad is better all around

[steel shoal]

By a mile

[glacial gorge]

whats the diffrence between a ion and normal power cell?

[nocturne magnet]

One can store more energy than the other

[glacial gorge]

what is better?

[nocturne magnet]

So they last longer than normal power cells

[nocturne magnet]

Ion

[glacial gorge]

ok thx

whats the best food in BZ

[west mountain]

Spicy fruit salad, but that is a bit later in the game.

[west mountain]

5x longer, quite neat.

[nocturne magnet]

It really is, yea

[glacial gorge]

how can you change the power cells on the snowfox?

[steel shoal]

Pick up the Snowfox, change it like you'd change a tool's battery

[glacial gorge]

thanks

[unique root]

Yall i gotta ask smth

why does the ||snow worm|| Doesnt spawn AT ALL

[glacial gorge]

same goes for the batteries right?

[nocturne magnet]

Yea

[glacial gorge]

ok

[steel shoal]

It only attacks in the Arctic Spires, based on noise. If there are too many stalkers together, or you use a prawn suit/drive the Snowfox a bunch, it'll attack

[unique root]

ik it spawns on yhe arctic spires but didnt know the noise thing

[steel shoal]

Standing still makes it ignore you

[feral coyote]

also unlikely to appear if you arent in a vehicle

[unique root]

thanks

[carmine bobcat]

Hey @steel shoal what does disabling story do for custom mode?

Will I still be able to access bases for like ||marg and AL-AN|| for the resources they posses?

[steel shoal]

I don't rember

[carmine bobcat]

Damn

[long girder]

my snowfox glitched below the map

[next current]

It does that sometimes. Isn't it quite silly?

[long girder]

have they ever revealed what was supposed to appear in the tundravoid?

[next current]

Nothing. It's just filler terrain.

[long girder]

huh

i always thought it was a scrapped biom

[next current]

Nope. It's a good place to put a land base if you want a flat surface to build on.

Not really easily accessible tho.

[long girder]

i just got there with the snowfox

i escalated the wall with the snowfox impulse

in the wall right next to the dead ice worm

[jade inlet]

Just get it

[long girder]

In what biom do you find this

[pulsar tapir]

that would be arctic kelp caves iirc

[fading panther]

Thought it was the deep lilypads

[next current]

You're thinking of Flowering Spores.

[fading panther]

Ah

[long girder]

I live in the lilypads so i would already found them

[glacial gorge]

whats the best location for a half under water and half on land base?

[magic anchor]

I need gold

[south burrow]

Probably at ||delta base island|| or on the shores of one of the glaciers, but the easiest would be the first option

[eternal garnet]

A lilypad leaf

[long orchid]

whats the easiest and least deep area to get diamonds?

[hybrid carbon]

deep twisty bridges

max like 400m

[long orchid]

cant get a seatruck down there

[hybrid carbon]

yes you can

[south burrow]

There’s 2 squidsharks down there, and yes you can

Bring the prawn instead to deal with the squidsharks

[long orchid]

i need diamonds to make the prawn tho

[south burrow]

The ||koppa mining base|| has some

[long orchid]

except its hard to get a seatruck down there too

[south burrow]

You’re not meant to get it all the way in

You’re supposed to leave it at one point then swim in

There’s oxygen plants down there to keep you alive

[long orchid]

i dont have the oxygen capacity to swin there and back

[south burrow]

^

and yes you can fit the sea truck in there, it’s just difficult

I have gotten it in and out

[eternal garnet]

you only need rebreather and High capacity air. Maybe 2 tanks, consider that

[long orchid]

do i need the blueprint for it

[eternal garnet]

yes you can wiggle the truck in "sideways". Save first, And you need depth mk1+

[long orchid]

like do i need to find the blueprint for rebreather

[long orchid]

but to make mk1 i need diamonds

and there is my problem

[eternal garnet]

yes. Bleuprint in twisty at a ||tiny crane depth 170||

[long orchid]

is 2 tanks with no rebreather enough

[eternal garnet]

you may find a couple diamonds just inside the koppa door

I don't know. get the rebreather

[long orchid]

i only got to the thing that looks like an elevator

[eternal garnet]

shark tank probably

go west-south-west from there

depth important

[long orchid]

is the ||alien distress call|| in a dangerous area

[eternal garnet]

no. That thing is important btw. Don't delay going there

close to rebreather actually

[long orchid]

i heard that once i go there sea monkeys become friendly and give you stuff

can i do that for the diamonds?

[eternal garnet]

true! They can even read your pinned items and give from those

yes

[long orchid]

how do the sea monkeys even know where to get those

guess they must've stolen a few pdas or something

[eternal garnet]

they live here. But how do they see pins? I think guy talks to them

[long orchid]

does the guy do anything else?

[eternal garnet]

better to find out

[long orchid]

like are brute sharks suddenly my best friend or something?

[eternal garnet]

ah no

[long orchid]

aw

[pulsar tapir]

once i get the spicy fruit salad, thermos's dont serve any purpose do they?

[eternal garnet]

no

also use local pepper fruit. They are in many tunnels

[long orchid]

how do they find them so quickly??

[long orchid]

where should i be exploring as soon as i get the seatruck mk1?

is the pilot- last known location beacon a safe place

[eternal garnet]

distress if you didn't, pilot's home, south of delta, all the things

[long orchid]

it seems to be in the purple vents

[eternal garnet]

it's not. Note that PDA lost the signal there

[long orchid]

is the control room useful?

just found it in a wreck

[eternal garnet]

yes, but not vital. Beacon, power display, room power control

[long orchid]

what is that thing

[eternal garnet]

oh it's the whale! Very cool. Go ride it's head. Not kidding or trolling

[long orchid]

so its like a reefback?

[eternal garnet]

no, but it is friendly

[long orchid]

is the lilypads a safe biome

[eternal garnet]

relatively

[long orchid]

oh nevermind i just saw a squidshark

[long orchid]

by relatively do you mean there are leviathans or not

[eternal garnet]

squiddy is the worst there. Whale is a leviathan

[long orchid]

are there any important fragments in the biome?

[eternal garnet]

lots, most are in monkey nests

[long orchid]

are there any for the seatruck

[eternal garnet]

yes

[long orchid]

which ones?

[eternal garnet]

no

[long orchid]

is the ||alien artifact x3j|| safe

[deep yew]

guys

[eternal garnet]

spoiler

[deep yew]

my baddd

but did i?

[eternal garnet]

post it again, with the eye toggled on

[deep yew]

\

[eternal garnet]

if it doesn't eat you, it's dead

[deep yew]

so its dead

well i just rammed it a bunch

[eternal garnet]

right, that works. It will not respawn

[deep yew]

thats one of four

[long orchid]

whats the ||mercury 2||?

[eternal garnet]

a wreck. it split in 3 parts to find

You can go inside

a laser cutter helps

[long orchid]

is that wise

does it have prawn suit inside

[eternal garnet]

Sure. But save

One of them does

but I think not enough scans

[deep yew]

can i ask you something? ||do i need to find the fabricator base to build al-an?||

[eternal garnet]

yes. But wait til you have all 3 with ingredients

[deep yew]

im so confused cuz why is the interactive map not showing ||the crystal castle, where the organs are?||

[eternal garnet]

it's like center, depth ||670||

Vague hint about fab location: ||deep||

[deep yew]

i know that its somewhere

east

not that hard to see lmao

[vernal cave]

I'd really like a save system in both this game and base subnautica for when you enter a seatruck, cyclops, or seabase

[drifting mountain]

Wth? Why are there no stairs? how do I get up?

[glacial gorge]

I hate when that happens

[drifting mountain]

never happened in the original

[carmine bobcat]

It’s based on the land near the hatch

Sometimes stairs appear

Sometimes no

[blazing phoenix]

Yippe I bought subnautica below zero

[glacial gorge]

it does

happaned to me yesterday

[drifting mountain]

i see

[drifting mountain]

that's so annoying, imagine finding a perfect spot to build your room then have no way to get in

[carmine bobcat]

Try making a hatch on all sides

Or build out tubes closer to flat, low land

[drifting mountain]

I did. I just have to go around everytime I want to get into my base.

Coffee decreases your H2O?

[blazing phoenix]

Crystalline sulfur for a flare?😦

[carmine bobcat]

It does contain sugar I guess

Body heat is really only needed if you’re walking without vehicles

And even then you can just eat the pepper plant

[blazing phoenix]

Ohh so cave sulfur is no longer a thing in subnautica so it's replaced with crystalline sulfur

Below zero I mean

[carmine bobcat]

Correct

Crystalline sulphur also replaces the gaspods for torpedos

[spiral parcel]

I accidentally hit a sea monkey with my seatruck on Subnautica below zero and a few other things

[steel shoal]

[spiral parcel]

I really didn’t mean to tho

[winged wagon]

Any idea on how to get the habitat builder? I literally just cant find one fragment for it.

[blazing phoenix]

I think it's in the twisted bridges minibase

[spiral parcel]

Ye it is

[winged wagon]

Ill try to find it, I played the game like 6ish months ago but then deleted my save when i came back since i kinda just stopped playing

[eternal garnet]

120m depth in the bridges canyon

a small building tube. I got a pic

[winged wagon]

Ya send it

[spiral parcel]

Where is the best place to build a base???

[winged wagon]

Should be able to find that

Also GOD DAMN this game is beautiful w reshade

[spiral parcel]

Oooo

[winged wagon]

This is without reshade btw

[eternal garnet]

note that there's Aurora in both games lol

[spiral parcel]

Wait really?

[eternal garnet]

it's more earth realistic without

yes. that is aurora borealis, northern lights

[spiral parcel]

Cool

[winged wagon]

i legit forgot to SCAN THE multipurpose room earlier

how fun!

[pulsar tapir]

uhm.....are you sure?

ooooh

[eternal garnet]

yes, but one is a sky phenomenon, the other is a former sky phenomenon, now a heap of metal

[pulsar tapir]

is sector zero a southern arctic area or northern?

[eternal garnet]

don't know

[pulsar tapir]

cuz if it's south it would be the aurora australis

[feral coyote]

aurora is only in sn1

wait no i cant read

[winged wagon]

NOW THIS is why i bought subnautica below zero

[pulsar tapir]

quiet

uhmm.....what?

why is there a random pixel with a hitbox?

[winged wagon]

wth why the hell did the sea monkey give me silver ore???

i thought they were mean

[feral coyote]

not anymore

[eternal garnet]

after a story event, they help. They can even tell what you need, if you ... use the pins

[pulsar tapir]

||thats why i almost always have a wiring kit and copper wire pinned||

[finite harbor]

I feel weird about below zero

I didnt even get the chance to get mk3 for the sea truck and the game ended

I didnt even use the prawn suit

the games wasnt very controlling

no radio

[hoary geode]

Hi gel sacks

M

[spiral parcel]

Idk where to build my sea base :’)

[vast jay]

PEAK

I really gota play Bz again

I have so many games on my playlist but I still stare at my monitor bored

[winged swallow]

AL-AN was the radio

[pulsar tapir]

seriously, do. imo the biomes are more vibrant and unique compared to SN, but that may just be because i've played SN more.

[vast jay]

Wellll

The biomes may be unique but they are “empty”

Like the tree spires has no relevance whatsoever

You don’t have to go to it

The thing that made sn1 good was the life pods made you go to different biomes

You could say the same for the artifacts but a decent few you won’t ever get a beacon for

[steel shoal]

I like finding new stuff on accident

[vast jay]

Agreed

But, there needs to be incentive

[steel shoal]

I kept unlocking stuff as I visited them

Wanting to unlock the final prize was enough for me

Though looking back, lots of people complained about Sea Treader's Path

But ehh, I don't think incentive to explore, personally

[dark tendon]

im really confused with all the instructions of how and where to ask for technical help with the game, would this be an acceptable place to do so?

[steel shoal]

Here

We'll try our best to help

[dark tendon]

Okay, so ive got a lil problem that the game crashes like 2s after starting, black screen, didnt even get to the health warning message, no not responding, just closes and thats it, i dont have mods, i have verified the files and the attached log seems to be saying something about not being able to access some adresses in the memory

[eternal garnet]

Unsure what this is. SteamOverlay is related though. Try disabling it. Steam game properties, General

If you ever had mods in BZ, delete from game folder:
SubnauticaZero_Data
Bepinex if it exists
Then verify files or reinstall

[dark tendon]

disabling the steam overlay has fixed it, i wont say the issue is over tho, i would like to use the steam overlay and not have to turn it on/off every time i want to play BZ or im done playing

[dark tendon]

i did have mods and i have done that

[eternal garnet]

make sure nvidia driver is updated then. Can be tricky on a laptop

[dark tendon]

driver date 6 days ago, dont think thats the problem

[eternal garnet]

steam updates itself, so it's not that

[dark tendon]

its a very obscure issue

[eternal garnet]

maybe Ignis can help, he's better

[dark tendon]

from what ive seen people with A series amd cpus have had this issue as soon as original subnautica stepped into 1.0 and couldnt find since when in BZ, the problem i see here that my cpu is neither the A series nor is it from amd

[eternal garnet]

note, deleting the folder is very different from just reinstalling

reinstall will NOT remove extra mod files

[dark tendon]

yeah yeah i know

[eternal garnet]

not familiar with A series

[dark tendon]

old cpus before ryzen was a thing

ryzen has replaced them

i think so at least

[eternal garnet]

there's a branch on steam for fixing certain older cpus like Phenom. Legacy. In betas

what is the cpu model?

[dark tendon]

i dont think a 12th gen i9 is an older cpu but i'll try it out

i9-12900HK if you need the exact model for anything

[eternal garnet]

oh. assumed AMD here

[dark tendon]

nor is it from amd

[eternal garnet]

no Legacy shouldnt help, but it's quick to test this

small download

Fairly pointless though 😛

[dark tendon]

as predicted legacy has not helped

[dark tendon]

ive solved some issues with poinless fixes so im absolutely down to try anything

its super weird because ive played both games for so long, ive played on this exact game build before with and without mods on this computer

yet i install the game now and suddenly it has a problem

if steam overlay is an issue maybe i'll try stepping off the steam beta branch for a sec (prolly shouldve mentioned that as soon as steam was brought into the conversation)

[eternal garnet]

a-HA!

yes.

steam overlay is the only thing the log has that's useful

also it crashes very early. Bit later and it prints CPU etc.

[dark tendon]

yeah i see that, theres barely any log to look at

[eternal garnet]

if you aren't into writing bugs to Valve, don't use beta

[dark tendon]

well i kinda am

[eternal garnet]

k, that's fine. Except in this case

valve might like this log then

[dark tendon]

but if i need to go back to the normal branch to game then ig i have to break up with valve

at least for now

[eternal garnet]

or, you know, no steam overlay in this game

[dark tendon]

would you look at that, runs perfectly fine

[eternal garnet]

you can still get to screenshots, achievements etc

what does?

I mean what combo

[dark tendon]

BZ after getting out of the steam beta branch

so steam beta was the culprit

[eternal garnet]

yes, now you have a common configuration

send that log to valve with exact steam version, maybe they will fix fast

[dark tendon]

i dont think they will but im gonna go do that, the more bug reports the more stable steam is

on another note, god do i hate having a 4k screen with a 3060, even subnautica cant run smooth and im pretty sure besides dome keeper thats the least demanding game ive ever played

[eternal garnet]

yeah but you can scale. Personally i'd expect that if I get 4K. Even scaling is much nicer and sharper, meaning 200%

exactly 200.0%

4k kinda wants a 3080 Ti, 4080 or better

[dark tendon]

i was just about to buy a 9070 XT which was a real stab in my nvidia fanboy heart but theyre all outta stock

[eternal garnet]

sort of what those GPUs are for. at 1080p a 3070 will run Really Fast

[dark tendon]

and by 9070 XT i mean eGPU setup in case you were confused

[eternal garnet]

ah right. I would dare to buy a 5 series, but you can find 4 series and they have less ... issues

[dark tendon]

it really sucks that subnautica doesnt have DLSS/FSR/XeSS

[dark tendon]

also i loose 32-bit PhysX with the 50 series which is just unacceptable

and also i dont really sleep on money and since amd has resolved their AI and RT issues i dont have that big of a problem going AMD

[deep yew]

Just finished, anybody whos says its bad can fight me

[still galleon]

Hell ow, my deer fried ends!

[placid hedge]

Hey all -

[tidal granite]

Hello there

[stone talon]

hey if i use antidotum on this leviatan in ice what i should do next ?

[eternal garnet]

that ends the Sam storyline. Go find body parts

[fading panther]

That doesn’t sound threatening at all

[stone talon]

thanks

[dark tendon]

if only i understood the plot instead of just doing what my monke brain feels like doing without a care in the world

[floral grove]

I heard below zero was really bad on release did they fix

[placid hedge]

Howdy do

[tidal granite]

How are u another subnaut?

[carmine bobcat]

Hey guys i have a question about margeurites base

I cant interact with the items anyone know how to fix that?

[dawn dirge]

Wait, so they’re adding a Kraken to Subnautica 2

[carmine bobcat]

Probably
Check in #subnautica-2-chat

[jovial stone]

I've had my Seatruck bruised and damagr by just bumping into stuff than like big threats like Leviathans 💀

Like my Seatruck's HP go from 100 to like 85 trying to squeeze thru a tight corridor

[steel stream]

There are lots of 'items' in bases you cannot interact with...In Marguerit's base you should be able to scan test override module and snowfox fragments, amd pick up seatruck upgrade module and some abandoned pdas. Later you can get access to the other rooms and scan bathroom stuff

[light gazelle]

so im tryin not to spoiler myself too much, i ||vaccinated the frozen leviathan and got to marguerit's greenhouse, also did get the skeleton blueprint for al-an||
can any1 direct me to where i should go next to progress with the ||al-an stuff||?

[eternal garnet]

you finished Sam and Maida storylines then.
Find body parts. Small hints: ||one is deep, the other is on land, very north||

[light gazelle]

nervous gulp dont wanna go inland just yet- in wot area should i go deep exactly- ||found the bit cotton shroom thingies couldnt found a place deeper than dat-||

like da general area ill find it myself i just wanna get some hints xd

[eternal garnet]

Go to maidas home, find a deep hole right outside. Drop a beacon when you find

[light gazelle]

ooooo okie ty!

i think it worked tysm!

[eternal garnet]

use truck perimeter defense. Fire on attack

[light gazelle]

thanks for the tip 😂 already learned that with the ||chelicerates||

welp managed to set up a b ase down there to protec da seatruck and some storage- ty for da helzpies!

[winged wagon]

I just encountered my first spikey trap while diving 300+ meters. I am traumatized.

[carmine bobcat]

What do y’all think of Cryptosuchus

[south burrow]

reminds me of those annoyingly strong dinos from Ark Survival Evolved in appearance, but in practice they’re basically test dummies for me to obliterate

[eternal garnet]

it's too loud

[keen anvil]

On a scale of 1-10 in comparison to subnautica original how worth it is it to play?

[steel shoal]

10

Because I liked it more than SN

[eternal garnet]

8

[feral coyote]

8

[keen dagger]

I actually hate how loud they are but I really like them

[light gazelle]

I would say 10, I always liked more of the researcher aspect in the games and I felt like it was more focused on its lifeforms, also at least for me it's less scary, but, || on land it's terrifying ||

[keen anvil]

Appreciate all the responses for sure! I kinda got stuck in a world thats not fully finished. Im just coming back to the game after almost 8 months (Subnautica OG) cause i got stuck and a bit frustrated lol. anyways gonna try to finish that world and then try out Sub zero !

[upper lodge]

Adorable

[pulsar tapir]

whats the best place to find magnetite (i know theres a vein in phi robotics cave) and put thermal plants?

[torpid pendant]

I hope they all explode AND WHY ARE THEY NEAR MY BASE IM IN THE STARTER ZONE

Also guys I want to know where to find diamonds without getting spoiler bombarded by the wiki

[pulsar tapir]

how far are you in the game?

@torpid pendant

||cuz the koppa mine is probably easiest||

[steel shoal]

Deep Twisty Bridges works too

[pulsar tapir]

squidsharks tho

[carmine bobcat]

Helps mask the Chelicerate

[weak heart]

Love my lil shrimps bois

[unreal bear]

how would he wear a hat

[carmine bobcat]

On the back

[feral coyote]

on the spike

[carmine bobcat]

You don’t wear a hat over your mouth

[weak heart]

It’s a mask. He has khaara

[feral coyote]

mask

[carmine bobcat]

But they said hat

Unless you wear covid masks on your head

Goes hard

[feral coyote]

pandemic fit

[weak heart]

I love him

[unreal bear]

when i first saw a picture of them i thought that was its mouth

[feral coyote]

same

[torpid pendant]

Like when I saw ||margeruit||

[torpid pendant]

In the base

[torpid pendant]

I think he would put it on his back with Velcro to secure it

[pulsar tapir]

||koppa mine|| or deep twisty bridges

[carmine bobcat]

Or he would just skid on his belly

[steel shoal]

@mellow quarry Hi. Despite their red look with 4 claws, Chelicerates take the role of the Ghost Leviathan in SN1. They are in key points of interest, and you're required to meet one to progress. And also, they're not as aggressive. While not leviathans, Squidsharks are all over the lilypads (over 30 of them) and they're quite aggressive, like Reapers.

But each game has its own needs and challenges, and BZ would really not benefit if it had 25 Chelicerates instead. Sector Zero is highly detailed and every biome has a purpose, while SN had difficulty making some biomes interesting, so they filled them with leviathans. (Crash Zone and Mountains don't have anything other than the Reapers)

[mellow quarry]

Ohh!

[pulsar tapir]

wdym you have to meet a chelicerate?

[steel shoal]

All entrances to the Crystal Cave have a Cheli on the way

[pulsar tapir]

o

even the entrance from the lilypads crevice?

[steel shoal]

Obviously I forgot about that one

When I go through that one, I usually enter that cave through the Tree Spires instead

[carmine bobcat]

You’re technically still not wrong

As you need spiral plant to progress

And both areas where you can find it typically have Chelicerates around it don’t they?

Excluding breaking down the synthetic fibre with recycltron

[steel shoal]

sorry I'd rather take the L rather than doubling down

[carmine bobcat]

Coward
Wise move

[steel shoal]

That's too much technicality for me

[steel shoal]

I'd rather be right than to win an argument with the wrong answer

[dapper wing]

I have a question. I went to || alien artifact PK8|| with my seatruck, i go to scan that and left my seatruck. When i came back my seatruck dissapear

I Die bc i have no oxygen

Any ideas?

[pulsar tapir]

spiral plants can be found in the deep purple vents...which can be accessed thru the lilypads crevice

[carmine bobcat]

Crush depth?

Maybe something loaded in, where the seatruck was, so it instantly despawned?

[carmine bobcat]

I’m ruined

[dapper wing]

No i dont think soo.. i have 300depht

[dapper wing]

Idk i was near the vulcan

Maybe the geyzer?

[bold monolith]

There is a chelicerate there.

[dapper wing]

I know

[carmine bobcat]

Don’t know

Chelicerate don’t attack empty vehicles do they?

[bold monolith]

True.

[dapper wing]

Maybe... The depth was 1 Meter lower?

But i think there will be some informations?

[carmine bobcat]

Was there seatruck wreckage

Like debris maybe
An explosion heard?

[dapper wing]

That thing u can join to seatruck and give more storage?

[pulsar tapir]

now i know. i can now explore the mercury without any trauma

[carmine bobcat]

No, like parts of the seatruck

[dapper wing]

Hmmm.. i dont hear anything anything but maybe?

[dapper wing]

Ahh this idk 😦

[carmine bobcat]

Mercury doesn’t have Chelicerates do they?

Well, the S ones specifically

Idk how close the purple vents one is

[dapper wing]

Is there a point that tells is the seatruck dead or smth?

[carmine bobcat]

Is it gone from your PDA?

[dapper wing]

Yeah

[carmine bobcat]

Sounds like you got unlucky then idk

[pulsar tapir]

there is a Chelicerate quite close to one of the wrecks, the one that's on the trench that leads to the deep purple vents

[dapper wing]

So it dissapear?

[pulsar tapir]

@carmine bobcat

[dapper wing]

Or Exploode?

[carmine bobcat]

Guess so

[dapper wing]

Wdym "guess so" ._.

What happened to IT?

[pulsar tapir]

it probably disappeared....

[dapper wing]

Bruh

Now i Know the hate for Below zero

[pulsar tapir]

disappeared or imploded

[light gazelle]

wait a sec.. ||how does preston go between marg's 2 bases? i thought she only has a prawnsuit? ||

[steel shoal]

Snow Stalkers are good swimmers, they hunt Brute Sharks

[light gazelle]

ig.. but do they both like swim across da ocean? 😭

[pulsar tapir]

maybe she harnesses preston onto her prawn

[steel shoal]

I like to think Marguerite doesn't care for Preston that much, he just keeps following her and she doesn't mind anymore

[light gazelle]

like, ||1 of those dog backpacks? xd||

[light gazelle]

omfg nooo 😭

also like, how th would he fit through the door INTO her bases 😭

[steel shoal]

Preston is really tiny for a Snow Stalker, and he's mostly fur

[light gazelle]

does she like deconstruct it.. then rebuild it around him or smth 😭

ig datz true- but still somewhat concerning

[carmine bobcat]

Must fit him in the storage compartment

[light gazelle]

btw should i be concerned 🤣

(hes stuck under ma base

[steel shoal]

Yes, very

[steel stream]

Another question: where is her prawn when she's in the greenhouse?

[pulsar tapir]

well she cared enough to tame and feed him

[steel shoal]

Idk about taming, but feeding is probably because Preston's Delight taste bad and barely have any nutrients

And happens to be what he likes

[pulsar tapir]

it's tamed enough to stop attacking robin when Marguerit says to...

[steel shoal]

She's wearing stalker fur and he's tiny for a stalker. Might've killed his parents and now he's just pretending she's his ma

[light gazelle]

I HAVE DONE IT

i created a working theory on how th dat works

so, ||whats under her base? the crystal cave thingy, wot can u find in it? PRAWN SUIT PROPLSION CANNON FRAGMENTS! she uses the proplsion arm whenever moving around with preston, and to get em into the base she uhm, launches em into the door ||

[bold monolith]

I remember submitting this during the early access in a playtesting session with Obraxis. I've not heard of any follow up after that I don't know if he talked about it internally.

[pulsar tapir]

...thats...uhm...an interesting theory...wait how would she have the power to use her prop cannon for that long a stretch?

[light gazelle]

Uhhhhhh plot armor

[pulsar tapir]

where do i find magnetite i will do anything plz

[light gazelle]

||i found a rly big vein around a kilometer east of delta island, theres like a spot wheres theres a bunch of penglings on a lil iceberg, if u go by their icy beach thing theres a wo'ah cave, and theres a secret room in da cave full of it and other stuff||

[winter finch]

hi, i'm new in sub zero and i see a monster idk what is it

i have my game in pause i'm sceared

[eternal garnet]

Cryptosuchus. They aren't very bad, scare easily

[winter finch]

okay ty

what are the more dangeroos zone in subzero

[winter finch]

it's a leviathan?

[eternal garnet]

no

[steel shoal]

No, just a large carnivore, like sharks

[winter finch]

i'm sceary they say ROOOAAAAAAAR

[ancient rune]

hit them once they swim away like little baby

The pda says so

[winter finch]

oh ez

[woven pine]

👏

[ancient rune]

Phenomenal ending

[feral coyote]

agreed

[split elm]

i have a question i was curious if below zero is worth it to get?

[stark axle]

bro

[echo trail]

Yes

[split elm]

gotcha

[woven pine]

It's pretty good gameplay wise but the story is a bit odd, still playable though

[split elm]

i do like the chelicerate

imagining cooking it

[pulsar tapir]

ty

[pulsar tapir]

d'ya have pics?

cuz i found a iceberg with a cave 1km east away from delta dock, but no magnetite

[next current]

Usually I go to the Glacial Basin for loads of Magnetite.

[pulsar tapir]

where in the basin?

[next current]

Do you have Artifact Z13's beacon yet?

[pulsar tapir]

uhhhhhhhm.....i might?

i've been to phi (base and excavation) if that helps

[next current]

Phi is located in the Basin.

Magnetite is located in ore veins and spy pengling sites.

[pulsar tapir]

yea, i know

alr, i'll check for some pengling sites

ty

[pulsar flame]

can i take penglings for myself and take care of them

can i and also should i

[pulsar tapir]

you can, just the adults wont be happy

[pulsar flame]

i picked one up and they bit me

[pulsar tapir]

yeap

they deal 3-30 damage

[winter finch]

did thoose mobs are dangeroos?

[pulsar tapir]

yeap

[winter finch]

oh...

[pulsar tapir]

a bit worse than cryptosuchs

[winter finch]

what is this

[winter finch]

okay

[pulsar tapir]

brute shark

[pulsar tapir]

tip for both SN games. if it has teeth, it's not friendly

[winter finch]

oh okay ^^

[twin heart]

Just beat below zero for the first time today, so sad to not have anymore subnautica lol

[elder prairie]

is there a place to buy subnautica merch?

[elder prairie]

I know how you feel, I got all achievements for both games like the same day because I kept hopping between them, and now im playing again from scratch on number 1 and I feel aimless lol

Subnautica below zero makes no sense

[elder prairie]

how so?

[simple prairie]

The story is way too messy for its own good and just doesn’t rlly fit the overall narrative the first game hit home with

The gameplay was fine, just felt more like a dlc which I’m pretty sure was their original intent for the game

[elder prairie]

I mean yeah, thats fair. I think there are some aspects that could be a little clearer, but it makes more sense if you explore everywhere. but there are som areas that are really hard to find naturally too so you miss some stuff

[short saffron]

rhis is the one and only message i will send in this channel i. hate. below zero

[twin heart]

ok...? lol

[steel shoal]

I love Below Zero

[subtle jacinth]

Based

[pulsar tapir]

bz has way better biomes

[steel shoal]

BZ is way closer to my idea of favorite game than SN

My love for BZ is completely personal and does not mean SN is better or worse, as it wouldn't be fair to give SN a bad grade for not having snow

[feral coyote]

bz is shorter and nothing good can outweigh that in favor of it

imo*

[raw plinth]

BZ is much more chill and rich but it’s nowhere close to the original for me

[steel shoal]

I took 60h to beat both

[nocturne magnet]

Bz is good, I don’t get why I see many people kinda disliking it

[steel shoal]

I took my time and collected everything in both games

But BZ has snow and a pretty skybox and better lighting and Ben Prunty and Alex Ries and wooden desks and

SN was great but BZ was more about what I liked

[nocturne magnet]

Wait, it took you 60h to beat both?

[steel shoal]

60h each

Not 30h

I don't like speedrunning

[nocturne magnet]

Well yeah, I just thought it would take faster to beat below zero than the first game but whatever

[steel shoal]

At some point I found the Mercury II and I was like "oops, not yet" and then forgot about it until Jeremiah talked about it

If you ignore Sam's story, yea you can beat it faster

[nocturne magnet]

Well, alright then

[steel shoal]

But I was focusing on Sam, and only then started working with Al-An

I streamed it all on YouTube

[nocturne magnet]

Awesome

[nocturne magnet]

I personally would not stream tbh, I’m kind of a bad seller when it comes to video games to begin with

[steel shoal]

I streamed it so I can document everything later, and study it to see what goes on in my head when I play games

[nocturne magnet]

Makes sense

[mild quiver]

guys, where should i build my base? it was near the deep twisty bridges and the shallow one, like right in between but its kinda boring and i dont like the base itself so im gonna rebuild it

i was thinking of the world border, but thats also boring

[steel shoal]

Lilypads has nice places, with whales and squidsharks

[mild quiver]

i dont really like lilypads eitherrrr the water is so dark and muddy there

im thinkin of the crystal caves

but its very not safe

[steel shoal]

It's only dangerous in a few spots, and the leviathan looks so pretty, swimming by

Large room with glass roof is

[mild quiver]

i dont really like the large room

looks prettier to me when theres just a bunch of multipurpose rooms connected with glass segments lol

[dry parrot]

its so dark i always hate when i have to go there

[dapper meadow]

just got bz what should i do first

Can I feed those penguin lookin things into my bioreactor?

[blazing phoenix]

Are there swim charge fins in below zero? And if there are, where can I find them?

[feral coyote]

it can be found in the green lilypads biome, as a data box
200m~

[dapper meadow]

Why does an architect use human-invented SOS in human-invented morse code instead of anything else?

[feral coyote]

when does it says the signal is in morse

[dapper meadow]

That sure looks like morse to me, man

[feral coyote]

damn

[dapper meadow]

So why does the alien transmit SOS in Morse, both being human inventions?

[feral coyote]

i have no clue

[dapper meadow]

I'm sorry but does navigation in BZ just feel slower than S1

[toxic abyss]

because you move slower in bz

[dapper meadow]

That's stupid

[feral coyote]

40 something percent slower

[dapper meadow]

Who decided that

[feral coyote]

idk bad people
i hated the change
andy would argue for it somehow

[toxic abyss]

because the map is smaller

[feral coyote]

ok but the terrain isnt

[toxic abyss]

its a really stupid change

[pearl trout]

how come alterra only went to sector zero?

[feral coyote]

wdym

[steel shoal]

We went to Sector Zero, as did the Frostpack. There are likely other sectors, but Ø is the only important one to Robin

[pearl trout]

like how come we aint hear anything about alterra being in the normal place (i have not played BZ yet)

[steel shoal]

There's no information denying the existence of other locations. We just know that Frostpack (a team) has been assigned to this specific sector.

But the Sector was evacuated due to the meteor storm. There are probably other teams elsewhere, and that's why Maida is so upset.

[pearl trout]

uhuh

time to wait for steam sale

[dapper meadow]

Can I have the game open a specific document when I press a button?

I wanna be able to press M to open the map folder

[pulsar tapir]

in SN1, the architects have a sword from like the 1300s...they've probably visited earth before

[pulsar tapir]

the pillars blink in morse

[dapper meadow]

Okay, pro tip: Do not try to make it to whatshername with just a standard o2 tank and a seaglider

Horrid idea

[feral coyote]

agreed whatshername is a horrible biome

[dapper meadow]

No

I mean the woman in the prawn suit

[carmine bobcat]

Her names || “Marg(marguerite)” or “Pilot”||

[dapper meadow]

oh yeah

is it just me or is she kinda hot

her accent sets off a very specific set of neurons in my limbic system

[dry parrot]

shes old

are u really that desperate

[dapper meadow]

that doesn't mean she's not hot

[dry parrot]

it gets to a point

[dapper meadow]

are you telling me age is a disqualifier in being hot

she's 54, that's mid-to-late-20s by Subnautica standards

[carmine bobcat]

I love me a woman who’s an ecoterrorist, has a bacteria inside her that will threaten humanity in the future and also managed to wipe out so many predators she’s considered an ecological threat comparable to that of the aurora

[dapper meadow]

exactly, you get it

i love me a woman who's an existential threat to an entire ecosystem

[austere river]

i love a woman that poses a threat to the entire universe

[pulsar tapir]

yea i do actually

[smoky wren]

hello world

[lavish forum]

i was playing in my bad laptop, when i start up subnautica, it said "device cant sync" bla bla bla idc, but then when i go on my main computer right now this happens idk what it is...
