[eternal garnet]

Your savegame is from Subnautica...

[lavish forum]

wdym?

( i suck at tech lol )

[eternal garnet]

If you had asked in Subnautica 1, I'd have said, your savegame is from a newer version

[lavish forum]

oh

oops!

[stray night]

yeah your just on a older version of the game

[lavish forum]

how do i update it

[stray night]

i believe you can just go to properties

[lavish forum]

ight ty

[stray night]

and check betas and updates

[eternal garnet]

Erm. What game store?

[lavish forum]

wdym?

does this have to do with anything? @stray night

[stray night]

yeah

[lavish forum]

what do i select

[stray night]

go to properties, then beta

[lavish forum]

whatever i have on my other device?

[stray night]

click on this and select "none"

[stray night]

yeah most likely

[lavish forum]

none

[eternal garnet]

if your CPU is Pentium Gold or AMD Phenom, you have a problem here

or a very early i3/i5/i7

first gen

[stray night]

you talking to me?

[lavish forum]

i have a 3060 in my gaming pc and i have no idea in the bad laptop

"gaming"

[eternal garnet]

oh different pcs

[lavish forum]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

it's about the CPU, not GPU. Have you been told by us to set Legacy?

I'm confused by the BZ channel. The CPU won't be a problem in SN1

[lavish forum]

it works ty!

[stray night]

np

🙂

[lavish forum]

but i think i can lose my data any moment tho cause in my laptop while installing subnauica it said:

(just saying the game is different cause this picture is from the internet) @stray night

[eternal garnet]

no that's unrelated to SN

[stray night]

oh

yeah just trust meatie

cause ill probably be wrong about that

[eternal garnet]

I really can't say if your BG3 saves are in danger though

Maybe!

steam is cautious, it will probably leave local saves alone

in this case

Edit: I don't know

Your BG3 save can be in danger if you open BG3

[lavish forum]

im so cooked for school rn why am i doing this

[lavish forum]

i know but thats what appeared to me when i loaded subnautica, i just couldnt screenshot it in my other computer

[thick quarry]

Hi

[weak marten]

hi brother

||fabricator caves||

[woeful halo]

name one thing wrong with this image

[thick quarry]

oh my

[weak marten]

? in the slots

[woeful halo]

not quite

[weak marten]

oh wait the seamoth peremiter systenm?

[woeful halo]

it's a seamoth in below zero

lol

[weak marten]

what is the ? tho?

[woeful halo]

depth module

[thick quarry]

a person who thinks all the time

[weak marten]

why is it even white

[woeful halo]

missing textures

the cyclops is missing the prefabs because they deleted them during development

[weak marten]

yeah guys so i am bored of sub 1 so do i will play bz now can yall give me base locations (must be underwater and kinda in the middle of the map)

[woeful halo]

Center of the twisty bridges

[weak marten]

lol i was playing normally until i realized i have my mods still active

[woeful halo]

I had so many mods active on the original Subnautica wondering why they weren't working, but I was on the experimental branch

[woven pine]

I don't think you can even spawn the Cyclops in below zero, and if you can, I imagine it's not functional at all.

[keen dagger]

No kidding it was barely functional in the first one, at least for me.

I take prawn suit and seamoth anyday.

[woven pine]

Hm, well, still; there's no point spawning it since the game is very tight and doesn't go deep at all.

[keen dagger]

Lol I agree. I do like the seatruck even if it's slow

but it did get banged up frequently on icebergs

[woven pine]

Yep.

[pulsar flame]

i have taken a pengling and it is my buddy now

[woven pine]

Always kidnap penglings.

[pulsar flame]

hey i didnt kidnap it it willingly joined me

none of the pengwings attacked me so it was an orphan

[woven pine]

Wow, 4 aggression on BZ is insane.

[thick quarry]

What do i do after maida says stay out of my territory in below zero

[tranquil meteor]

Is anyone else super OCD when you bases? I try and get the best possible view from the inside.

[chilly patio]

I've seen this pop up like a million times and I've never like lost any progress

[chilly patio]

further invade her terrioty like your the british in the america's

conquest always leads to story development

[carmine bobcat]

It hurts when you spend like 2 days perfectly crafting it

Then the leviathan moves

[tranquil meteor]

I feet that

Most leviathans can be moved with perimeter defense. Either with the Seamoth or Sea Truck. That's how I got this picture.

I moved a reaper all the way to the grand reef.

It's especially effective on Reapers and Chelicerates. Leviathans generally patrol a specific radius. If they chase you or you scare them with perimeter defense, wherever it is they stop becomes their new patrol area.

[carmine bobcat]

Ah, how I move em is I kill the respawning food source

Then produce my own so it follows the breadcrumbs

[tranquil meteor]

Please elaborate

Like for example, kill the brute sharks and then rear your own brute sharks for the Chelicerate?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

[tranquil meteor]

huh

Ill have to try that. Thanks!

I love finding new ways to mess with the wildlife and interact with the game

[carmine bobcat]

The permitter defence method is probably easier

My only fear would be that I’d end up killing the leviathan by accident (despite the fact it would take like 3000+ zaps)

[tranquil meteor]

You wont, but I understand that fear

I built my main base near glow whales under the massive glaciers in the south

i hatched some eye jellys for decoration, but ended up killing them because they would zap the glow whales

[woven pine]

You can spawn the Seamoth in below zero and it is actually fully usable since you can just spawn in the depth module MK3 for it and also use the perimeter defense system.. I tried it today. Cool thing to know, I guess.

[carmine bobcat]

I’m hoping SN2 will continue the tradition of allowing us to grow every fauna in the game

Being able to hatch glow whale leviathans was so cool

[carmine bobcat]

Can you spawn the cyclops to?

[woven pine]

Nope. You can type the command "sub Cyclops" but it just flashes Infront of you and doesn't actually spawn.

Probably because most of the prefabs of the Cyclops were deleted.

[carmine bobcat]

Damn
I mean it probably wouldn’t fit anywhere but it’d be cool to have

[woven pine]

Yeah.

Also, the Seamoth is literally just a white, glowing flashbang lol.

[carmine bobcat]

Holy Seamoth

Do leviathans leach onto it? Or do they just bite like normal fauna

[woven pine]

Everything aggressive attacks the Seamoth like it does the seatruck and prawn suit.

Nothing latches onto it though.

[carmine bobcat]

Ah

[woven pine]

The collision for the Seamoth is also a little messed up, and I swear it's weaker than it is in SN1.

Aside from that though, you can get pretty close to beating BZ in just the Seamoth.

[eternal garnet]

want to see chaos, dock the seamoth

[weak marten]

let me check if it works

[eternal garnet]

what I remember from trying, not rejection, not function, chaos

[weak marten]

it does not work sadly

[dapper meadow]

Does it work with the moonpool?

[weak marten]

did you watch the vid?

[dapper meadow]

Oh yeah I just did

Quite unfortunate

Ngl I'm surprised there isn't a mod that returns all functionality to the Seamoth

Seems relatively easy to me as far as modding goes

[bold monolith]

Because you can't just rip off something from the first game, place it in this game and give it for free. It's UWE property.

Even if it's just code and texture.

[dapper meadow]

I finally got a seatruck

I am going to migrate to a spot a little over 1 klick away in the southeast

Above where Marguerit is set up

[bold monolith]

Just above her ||greenhouse|| to show her who is the boss.

[dapper meadow]

Theory: The reason BZ has you move slower than S1 is because Robin is just a worse swimmer

[weak marten]

no. becouse bz was intendet as a dlc and was kinds rushed so they made the map smaller and the charcter slower so that it feels that bz map is big

[dapper meadow]

Fair

But that's the out-of-universe explanation

The theory I posted would be the in-universe explanation

[weak marten]

as you see the player velocity (the last one) in the seatruck irs lower beacause im pretty sure they made the seatruck slower and in the seamoth its way faster because it has still all the stats from the first game

[eternal garnet]

seamoth also has this simple speed glitch.
W+A = 1.4 times faster. W+A+Space = 1.4*1.4 times faster

[weak marten]

it blends in perfectly

[bold monolith]

Try to exit it while it's at the surface level.

[weak marten]

already did. lets say i flew to space

i just too good for the game

[vast jay]

Makes sense

So if you want to mod the sea moth in Bz you need to recode it?

[vast jay]

Hey it’s the placeholder

Haven’t seen that in 3 years

[bold monolith]

And remake new textures I guess. Or find a way to grab it from one game to place it in the second without having to share anything.

That way you would need the first game to use that mod.

[feral coyote]

in a gmod way?
like if you dont have certain games assets just dont load

[spring needle]

is there still gonna be updates to BZ?

[bold monolith]

For now there isn't.

Who knows.

If there are updates though, they will only be bug fixes, etc. No new content.

They'll focus on the next game.

[vast jay]

No more content updates that’s for sure

Maybe bug fixes, engine updates

[dapper meadow]

I wish I could see my pitch in a submarine

Sometimes I just press W and go deeper than my sub allows because I can't tell what direction up is

[tranquil meteor]

Seymour! The house is on fire!

[modest sedge]

Is the sea truck only in bz?

[tranquil meteor]

Yes

[modest sedge]

Alr thx

[dapper meadow]

Exterior growbeds are insanely useful for far-off bases

[tranquil meteor]

❤️

[dapper meadow]

Like, I have a base far away from any creepvines or whatever

[tranquil meteor]

I use exterior grow beds all the time

[dapper meadow]

Is something's efficiency in a bioreactor dependent on anything or does everything just feed it the same amount?

[tranquil meteor]

Everything has a different value

I recommend fever peppers and Preston's delight

For my home base, I have a farm with everything required for crafting. When I build below solar panel range, I use bioreactors and grow plants indoors. Its the easiest solution for bio fuel.

[dapper meadow]

Are gel sacks good for bioreactors?

[unborn fjord]

imo yes

[tranquil meteor]

kind of. its a pain to keep swimming out of your base to harvest them

Fevered peppers are better becase you just pick em and throw em in the reactor., you get power within a few seconds.

[steel stream]

Bioreactor produces power at 0.8333 energy per second regardless of the biofuel you use. The type of fuel affects how often you need to refill (with the same energy drain)

[dapper meadow]

please don't tell me i gotta go through there

[tranquil meteor]

It helps to build a bed in every base you have. If you sleep right after filling up your reactor, the power maxes out immediately.

[tranquil meteor]

I don't think so. What biome is that?

[dapper meadow]

Thermal spires

In a cave near Artifact Q59

[tranquil meteor]

Are you in the Koopa Mines? (The type was intentional)

[tranquil meteor]

If you already scanned the artifact, you aren't required to explore that area unless you want to.

[steel stream]

Depends...if your base uses power faster than bioreactor can produce, it keeps at 0. For example water filtration machine uses 0.85 energy per second, which is slightly more than bioreactor's 0.83333 energy production per second. Bioreactor starts to fill only when the filtration is complete (provided those two are only things generating and using power, the bioreactor is empty at first and there is enough biofuel to finish the filtration)

[tranquil meteor]

I've never had any issues.

[cloud shell]

Good spot for permanent base?

[tranquil meteor]

Twisty Bridges

It's a safe area and almost all the resources are 500 meters in any direction

Also it's one of the prettiest areas in the game

[cloud shell]

ahh alright!

what about a late game base? one just because i wanna live somewhere pretty..

[tranquil meteor]

I build mine under the massive icebergs to the far east.

I'll get some pictures of my base later today

But I always set up scanner rooms in each major biome.. in both games I have one main base and about twenty other mini bases.

[eternal garnet]

Lilypads. south-east

Also for twisty bridges, only the south end. The biome is not central

[pulsar tapir]

||the deed is done||

[humble owl]

I got curious okay

[real ocean]

[tranquil meteor]

Here's my home base.

I put a flowering spore under my moon pool to add dramatic lighting.

[rugged crater]

Has anyone else experienced input causing a crash?

Whenever I right-click in game to interact with something my game occasionally stutters and even freezes for a full second.

The stutter is always accompanied by a millisecond flash of either whatever is running in the background of my machine or the desktop. This is phenomena is not able to be captured by screen recording

This happens pretty consistently when you repeatedly and quickly right-click (like when chasing a fish or mining limestone.

If I rapidly right click, it crashes straight to desktop.

I’ve been searching through the forums for any issues similar to this for the last 2 hours and haven’t found another case like this. I have tried verifying the game files, reinstalling, forcing opengl, updating my dx drivers.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

[eternal garnet]

Not seen this. Which game store? PC steam?
IF so, try turning off steam overlay in game properties. Do not use steam beta

[bold monolith]

I saw the issue the other player had recently after you helped them fix it. I tried to use the beta, and I had no problem. Perhaps their steam overlay dll was just corrupted and switching it off replaced it.

[wide crow]

yoooo bro kendrick been lookin for you

[unborn fjord]

what

[wide crow]

[rugged crater]

It’s PC steam version, turning off steam overlay was my first choice, I’m not using steam beta

[humble owl]

Very long

[eternal garnet]

Well, i've no real clue. Things to try. A good old reboot. Video driver update. Any sus third party apps bound to desktop right click, remove em. Sus = Not winrar

[rugged crater]

With no one else experiencing this, it’s gotta be something stupid on my end with my gpu or drivers. I can’t think of anything I’m running bound to right click. Maybe it’s Nvidia overlay? Idk, I’ll try what you suggested and if I can’t figure it out after work then I’ll submit a player log.

Thanks for the reply and advice

[drifting mountain]

How do I build diagonal compartments so I can connect my seatruck dock to my land base?

[south burrow]

diagonally vertical you mean?

[steel shoal]

Only wall modules can be diagonal

[pearl trout]

might buy BZ

[steel shoal]

It's on sale, have fun

[drifting mountain]

yea

[south burrow]

you can't

[pearl trout]

how different is it from regular subnautica

[steel shoal]

Very

You're not alone, different focus

[fading panther]

It’s a whole neeeew Biome

[drifting mountain]

so i'm stuck

i can't connect my sub base to my home

[pearl trout]

how much better are the graphics?

[steel shoal]

It's more about story than gameplay, but it's still pretty great if you ignore the reviews

[south burrow]

use vertical connectors

[drifting mountain]

i can't even fit in there

[steel shoal]

Significantly better, with new lighting and all

[south burrow]

thats what ladders are for

[steel shoal]

Base building in BZ is much better than in SN, with new items and such. It's also cheaper.

[pearl trout]

time to empty my bank account 😭

[south burrow]

titanium ingots being dropped from 10 titanium to 5 was so good

[steel shoal]

The skybox also has dynamic lighting, with each part of the day looking completely different

[south burrow]

tho tbf its a lot easier to get titanium in sn1 via metal salvage

[steel shoal]

Yea, I wish they reduced lead costs too but oh well

[pearl trout]

is silver easier to obtain

[steel shoal]

Yes

Everything is easier to obtain

It's just that lead is used in base building and vehicles, and it's annoying to look for it in large quantities

[south burrow]

we love scanner rooms

[pearl trout]

gonna play BZ for the first time

im excited

[dapper meadow]

we owin arasaka 1 trillion credits with this one

[pearl trout]

wait, theres temperature?!

oh god

[dapper meadow]

it's called below zero

[pearl trout]

true

[south burrow]

only above water

[dapper meadow]

also underwater if you stand still too long

[feral coyote]

only above water and it becomes irrelevant in like 3 minutes

[south burrow]

it becomes irrelevant after you get fevered peppers and preston's delight

[feral coyote]

also surface geysers

[dapper meadow]

NO

DAMMIT

[pearl trout]

im gonna have to get used to having a small oxygen tank

[feral coyote]

are you feeling the speed nerf 😔

[pearl trout]

OMG YES

😭

[rugged meadow]

I wish below zero also had minable nickel ores like first game, not that you ever need lot of nickel in either game but them being minable makes it much easier to grab a ton of them from one location, same as what I did in first game, just head to lost river, find a minable ore and get nickel ores for all the upgrades from one ore

[pearl trout]

what happened to PDA voice

[steel shoal]

You're using a cheap, old PDA because you don't trust Alterra tech

[pearl trout]

ohhh

[nocturne magnet]

It became even worse from the last game

[flint nebula]

is below zero worth getting? i just finished subnautica and im itching for more, but ive heard bad things about it, its also p spenny

[nocturne magnet]

It definitely is

[steel shoal]

Yes, Below Zero is very worth it. It's a great game, just different.

[flint nebula]

ok, time to break the bank again

[steel shoal]

It's not exactly the same as SN, as instead of being immersive, it has a much deeper story

[flint nebula]

oo ok

more lore focused then

[pearl trout]

its on sale rn

[steel shoal]

You're not alone, the character you play as yaps a bunch

[flint nebula]

oh damn on steam?

[steel shoal]

Yes, 50% off

[pearl trout]

spring sale

[flint nebula]

i didnt order a yappuccino lil bro

fire im gonna get it now then

my time capsule was fire

[dapper meadow]

Okay, something of note: If you're going to cut all the things from a creepvine, at least get a seed from it first

Learned that the hard way

[flint nebula]

right ok

how much shorter is this game? ik its supposed to be more of a dlc than a sequel

at least i think so

[dapper meadow]

On the plus side, my shiny new bioreactor has plenty of fuel

[steel shoal]

And also, Creepvine Samples only grow the leaves. You need the clusters for it to get the clusters version

[steel shoal]

It's not supposed to be a DLC. That idea got scrapped really early in development.

[flint nebula]

i dont mean in the literal sense, i mean like how spiderman miles morales is more of a taste of th next game rather than its own full scale game

[dapper meadow]

I'm aware

[steel shoal]

It's a spin-off. It's only slightly shorter, as it focus a bit more on the story and world building rather than gameplay. I still took 60h to unlock everything, including all PDAs, eggs and all that. The same as SN for me.

[flint nebula]

fire ok

[dapper meadow]

I need to get me a prawn suit, man

[pearl trout]

it took 90 hours for me to complete the subnautica story

[nocturne magnet]

It makes sense, how would an arctic biome even fit in the first subnautica game?

[steel shoal]

There's less map to explore, but more to explore in each chunk.

[flint nebula]

for just the story??

[pearl trout]

i get sidetracked very easily

[flint nebula]

cray cray i finished it within a week

[steel shoal]

So it's like, same amount of content but in a smaller box

[flint nebula]

ah fairs, i normally lock in on the story and go back when i want to play more to get all the collectibles and stuff

[light gazelle]

killed 1 finally!

[nocturne magnet]

Gl with the other ones

[steel shoal]

BZ was developed really quickly, and it had to go through a story reset, map rework and Covid. It's honestly incredible how amazing it ended up being.

[light gazelle]

xD do they respawn?

[nocturne magnet]

No

[fading panther]

Fr

[light gazelle]

OOOO

[flint nebula]

woah that ;looks so cool

[steel shoal]

What a sad picture.

[steel shoal]

Each part of the day has different lighting.

[flint nebula]

thats mad exciting

[light gazelle]

time to take back da crystal caves from those goobers

[light gazelle]

also they traumatized meh

[steel shoal]

Sounds like a skill issue, why'd you kill the sillies 💔

[nocturne magnet]

Bro I thought this was a random image 😭

[flint nebula]

how is the performance? my pc struggled a little bit on max graphics in the first game

[steel shoal]

Better optimized than SN1

[flint nebula]

oh damn ok

[nocturne magnet]

How many chelicerates are around the map btw

[steel shoal]

But it still requires a bit more strength

[steel shoal]

Not many, they're like ghosties. ||4, one in each point of interest||

[flint nebula]

yeah makes sense if there is a graphics upgrade

[nocturne magnet]

Ok

[dapper meadow]

Can I grow coral tablets?

[steel shoal]

They're really pretty, and are the highlights of their spots. Killing them will leave the map really boring.

[steel shoal]

No, sorry

[nocturne magnet]

I do not think so

[dapper meadow]

Damn

[steel shoal]

You can only find them in Twisty Bridges

They're very common there, but they're only there

[nocturne magnet]

Ngl, do you think that there should’ve been another leviathan in the void instead of just chelicerates?

[steel shoal]

Nope. Void Chelicerates have amazing lore, it just makes sense they're the ones out there.

[dapper meadow]

Which makes computer chip manufacture away from there a nightmare

[steel shoal]

They make more sense than Ghosts

[pearl trout]

BZ is just subnautica if it was set in alaska 🙏

[steel shoal]

Visually, yes

[nocturne magnet]

If that’s the case, then alright

[pearl trout]

theres weather in this game?!

[feral coyote]

yes but it gets old really quickly

[nocturne magnet]

Apperently so

[pearl trout]

whats this

[steel shoal]

It's a deep cave

I love that place

[feral coyote]

fun cave with fun stuff

and materials

[pearl trout]

where can i get quartz

[feral coyote]

i found a lot under the ice platforms to the west i think

[pearl trout]

when do i unlock the seaglide

[glacial gorge]

hey ive got a question
when i try to type the ||creative command|| nothing happens. I tried searching on the internet, but to others everything works?

PLS help

Btw ping me the answer

[bold monolith]

You have to switch to custom mode.

[eternal garnet]

the gamemode commands don't work, custom game mode does the same thing better

[tranquil meteor]

It's literally everywhere. Every single biome has quartz. Do you have the scanner room HUD chip?

[glacial gorge]

Wait there is no ther way?

[vernal cave]

So I have a random idea for below zero, I wonder if the people of the server would think said idea would be possible so:
The idea is : seatruck engine module, it would double the seatruck's speed, but the recipe would be quite power cell heavy, with said recipe being 1 plasteel ingot, 6 power cells, and 3 lead. Those 6 power cells would be used in 3 ways, giving the seatruck extra power (if needed) powering the module itself, and powering any modules attached to it even if the seatruck isn't attached

[pearl trout]

i like just played BZ for the first time🙏

[pearl trout]

so basically putting a v8 into the seatruck?

[vernal cave]

Extra module, doubles seatruck speed, can power attached modules without seatruck, somewhat, but like a v8 power generator and added engine

[pearl trout]

ion even know what the seatruck is😭

[vernal cave]

Like a combination of the seamoth and cyclops submarines from the base game, so size of seamoth, (some of) the functionality of a cyclops

[tranquil meteor]

Gotcha.

[carmine bobcat]

There’s only the boost and the horsepower module

[vernal cave]

Those are upgrades, not modules, a module would be the fabricator or storage

[formal hornet]

yo, ive installed subnautica below zero, and ive watched a few tutorials, in those, the pod is different from mine, theirs is floating with the entrance from the bottom, mine is like underwater with a small door and a fabricator and storage, and my starting cutscene was different too, i crash landed on like an iceberg, as suposed to water for the other people? any reason why?

[carmine bobcat]

Did you watch older versions of BZ?

It got multiple changes since before full release

There used to be emperor leviathans for instance

And Sam used to be alive and talking to you

[formal hornet]

so my current one is the updated one is it?

[carmine bobcat]

Full release yes

[formal hornet]

so like those vids, i am able to build like those crazy bases right?

[carmine bobcat]

By crazy bases you mean?

[formal hornet]

like, yk extended pods

like with the alien breeder rooms etc

there were quite a few other things like corridoors and rooms

[carmine bobcat]

You can stuck multiple rooms and large rooms with alien Containments if that’s what you’re asking about

[formal hornet]

yeah, thanks mate

just started yesterday and pretty confused lmao. theres like no storyline like objectives telling me what to do, so im pretty lost , ive just figured out to make a knife and get creepvine for fibremes or something if im not wrong

[carmine bobcat]

Basically your current objective is to
“Find out what happened to Sam”

So just explore around for now and make equipment

You’ll get a few beacons occasionally pointing you in a direction to go

[formal hornet]

i see, i messed up, i picked up all those beacons

[carmine bobcat]

Can always go back to those locations and place em back

Or make more beacons etc

[eternal garnet]

Beacons you will need: Delta dock. Phi landing pad

[formal hornet]

i have mine at delta dock, idk what is it just looked like a dock with 1 crate, is there a use for it?

[eternal garnet]

the island has a lot of things

[carmine bobcat]

You didn’t see an island?

[eternal garnet]

also it's center of the world

[formal hornet]

And on the way I saw, idk whatever it was, very scary

[carmine bobcat]

Black, had a beak and fins?

[formal hornet]

I did, but it said trespassing and I saw a long thing swimming nearby making scary noises so I just left and said I’ll be back later

[formal hornet]

Looked blue?

[eternal garnet]

ya, a recording. Ignore it

[formal hornet]

Alr, got it I’ll be exploring that soon

But I’ll need to keep jumping back in the water yes? Cuz of temperature

[carmine bobcat]

Aggressive fauna around it

But they don’t attack frequently as you would expect, and are also a bit of pushovers

Main thing is how damn loud they are

[formal hornet]

Oh so they’re just loud and better to ignore got it!

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

Later on you can craft gear for warmth, and use consumables to increase heat

[formal hornet]

I see, I’ve made fins and the first oxygen tank level

[carmine bobcat]

Pretty much

Using a seaglide should allow you to outrun them, and they’re basically harmless once you have a vehicle

[formal hornet]

I need some yellow sulphur, idk how to get it tho, and people have some wierd machines that make them go faster, no idea

[eternal garnet]

sulphur on the island, very easy

[formal hornet]

So basically I’ve done it till the dock, idk whatever to do now, it’s been the same, getting out the pod, catching fish getting copper and titanium going back

No idea what I’m supposed to do

[carmine bobcat]

What tools do you have right now?

[formal hornet]

Knife, fin, oxygen tank, flare, beacon and scanner

That’s it

[carmine bobcat]

Alright

I’d say work on making a seaglide, you can find fragments for it in the ||creepvine nests|| for starters, this’ll make you go faster

[formal hornet]

I have a creepvine nest nearby, I have just gone there for seeds to make rubber thing and the creepvine itself for fibermesh

What materials are you talking about for the seaglide

[carmine bobcat]

The nests are in cave systems

[carmine bobcat]

You need to scan fragments of a seaglide using your scanner

Then you unlock the recipe

[formal hornet]

Ohh I see!

And the base building, I’m assuming is much later on

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

You need to scan a “habitat builder” tool fragment

The tool will allow you to build bases, and you scan other fragments to build vehicles or more complex rooms/facilties

[formal hornet]

Ohh i understand now, thanks, it was confusing with no guide but I much appreciate your help! So first thing I should do is make a sea glide

After that? Will there actually be like hints on what to do or is is just me on my own who has to figure it out

[carmine bobcat]

Sort of?

Story Wise, you eventually get a signal that says ||Hey come here, you interact with it, then you get more information on what’s going on|| you can also find PDA’s which give you info on what happened to characters before your arrival

Progression wise? You just explore, go to other biomes and identify materials and wildlife.

[formal hornet]

I’m scared I’m gonna run into a leviathan 💀 it’s game over after that I’ll lose all my stuff lol

[carmine bobcat]

So you’re just constantly expanding because certain materials will only be in certain biomes

[formal hornet]

Yeah, constant exploration

Also where are those yellow sulphur things ?

[carmine bobcat]

Chances are you’ll see it before it sees you

And if not, run

There are ways to survive against a leviathan

[formal hornet]

I need it for like a, repair tool?

[carmine bobcat]

You can find them in crash fish nests or the island

[formal hornet]

And can it be killed?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes, but it takes very long and is very boring

[formal hornet]

Right the island, gonna go there next

[formal hornet]

I see, last thing, I just learned about submautica 2, is it like a continuation of the story?

[carmine bobcat]

BZ and SN1 are on the same planet
BZ is a few years after SN1

SN2 takes place an unknown amount of time after BZ and SN1 and is on a different planet

BZ is in “Sector Zero” of the planet
SN1 is in “The Crater” of the planet

Different ecosystems, separated by the void

[formal hornet]

WAIT WAIT WAIT, BZ is NOT the first game????????

[eternal garnet]

no

[formal hornet]

I skipped a whole game and went to the 2nd one 😂😭

[eternal garnet]

Buy em both. SN1 is a masterpiece

[formal hornet]

Damn it lmao

[eternal garnet]

BZ is worh playing, so keep doing that

[formal hornet]

Won’t be an issue right if I play this first and then thet?

[eternal garnet]

no, not really

[formal hornet]

Aight bet.

Also is Sam alive or is this woman wasting her time looking at this island

Planet*

[unborn fjord]

hey at least youll have the best bz experience since the similarity of both game makes playing bz boring for most people who already played sn1

[formal hornet]

That’s one way of seeing it

WELL thank you meatie, sc_vult and broccoli

W community fr. Other games takes months for someone to help out. Cya guys.

[unborn fjord]

bai

[carmine bobcat]

In the opening Sam is stated to be dead,
Your character (Robin) doesn’t believe her cause of death is accurate and is aiming to investigate what really happened/the greater context of why she died

[feral coyote]

skipping to bz is crazy work

[feral coyote]

you're mostly here to figure out what the hell happened to her and her work here

[subtle jacinth]

Subnautica 2 is a new planet with new main characters

[wooden crescent]

LMAO you skipped the beginning

Play sub 1 though you will be fine

I need to know if the the below zero bundles are worth it?

[steel shoal]

Which bundles?

There's SN+BZ, BZ+BZ OST, and SN+SN OST+BZ+BZ OST

Do you want to buy the music?

[steel shoal]

(it's not necessary, by the way. BZ explains everything you need to know)

[feral coyote]

getting the arguably worse starting experience for the same price...

[steel shoal]

Blah blah blah

This is what you sound like

BZ is fun, they already bought BZ, if you don't like it, that's okay. But saying it's bad is going to make them think it's bad

And by expecting a bad experience, you'll have a bad experience

So like, either be constructive, or don't ruin the experience for others

[feral coyote]

#memes-and-media message

[steel shoal]

I don't get it

Isn't it calling you inexperienced

[rugged crater]

I solved it, it was a windows 10/11 bug they haven’t fixed yet. I fixed it by going into the task manager and running the compatibility test. No more flashes and crashes

[wooden crescent]

you made this look like a mortal kombat combo lmao one second

[wooden crescent]

i kinda like the music but i wouldnt pay for just music

[steel shoal]

It's supporting UW, funding SN2

[wooden crescent]

hmm, i mean its really not that much i could just buy the complete collection

[steel shoal]

If you already have a game, the 2-game bundle will still be available, with a perpetual discount

[wooden crescent]

$35 is better than wasting $60 on BO6 thats heavily modded and not good

let me look at steam real quick

[steel shoal]

It's cheaper than buying the other game separately

[wooden crescent]

holy so the entire bundle was $71

and its 50% off

yeah we have Sub 1 and we have about a week until we are finished with it and then we will try out BZ

[flint nebula]

anyone able to vc? im relatively early in and the ||alan|| thing has given me something to check out but i cant figure out how to get there

[carmine bobcat]

What’s the name of it

[blazing phoenix]

What biome is this?

[hasty basin]

chat which is more fun below zero or normal subnautica

[carmine bobcat]

Looks like either west or east artic

[carmine bobcat]

Ngl I do prefer BZ on custom mode settings

Being able to turn create aggression to 10 is super fun

Turns regular sharks into terrifying beasts

[blazing phoenix]

Is it safe?

[eternal garnet]

yes. If you get frozen, you can break free. Don't just sit there and drown

[hasty basin]

idk what to do cuz today i was forced to delete subnautica cuz a family member wanted a lot of space on my device for something so i lost a lot of progress right? and ive already gotten spoiled about EVERYTHING so idk if i should restart or buy BZ

what do you reckon?

[carmine bobcat]

West is safe
East is mostly safe

mostly

[carmine bobcat]

I prefer custom mode BZ to regular subnautica

I prefer regular subnautica to regular BZ

[tranquil meteor]

I think it's the deep east Arctic. Have you seen any glow whales there?

The west Arctic has a ton of eye jellyfish. They are spooky, but completely harmless.

[tranquil meteor]

I get that. There are a lot of things that Below Zero does better, but the sense of scale and isolation is much greater in Subnautica proper.

[light gazelle]

(mesoleptos, an early mosasaurid)

[tranquil meteor]

My hope for Subnautica 2 is that it has the presentation, artistic merit and quality of life that Below Zero has, but brings back the minimalism and immense scale of Subnautica 1.

No.

[light gazelle]

😭

y nu

[tranquil meteor]

Are you asking if it's in the game?

[light gazelle]

nunu ik its in the game 😭 I just found this goober and it looks a lot like it

well, da real thing, this creature looks LIKE it

cant be just me xD 😭

[tranquil meteor]

I call those things redacted I word for angry lonely men. I don't know why that's a swear word

They are very loud but they barely do any damage.

[tranquil meteor]

It definitely has a similar skeletal structure

[light gazelle]

eh i like em for dat they more bark than bite xd

[drifting mountain]

Can we use the vehicle speed boost trick in below zero just like in the original?

[eternal garnet]

seatruck no, prawn yes

[tranquil meteor]

If anyone were to have a real life sea creature in Subnautica, what would you want? Alive or extinct. Doesn't matter.

[drifting mountain]

aw

[carmine bobcat]

Hey so does the Void Chelicerate not have their own spawn command?

[tired geode]

who wanna play some subnautica

[forest plover]

Fun little moment I had while swimming around

[drifting mountain]

wow, the ocean in below zero is way more beautiful and less scary than subnautica

[tranquil meteor]

I think it's definitely prettier, but I find it a little scarier because of how well designed the fog and murk is.

[olive barn]

i like the design of the shadow leviathan a lot tho kinda scares me when i see it

the low visibility is what made subnautica scary for me

[drifting mountain]

yea below zero is way more casual than subnautica

Subnautica gives me Thalassophobia

[tranquil meteor]

I mean, Reapers are still the most frightening enemy in not just Subnautica, but in all of gaming, and I've endured Crimson Heads, Outer Wilds Anglers, Mr. X and the Village baby. I dunno. Fear is subjective. Everyone reacts differently. But Chelicerates work because of how immersive the fog and draw distance is in Below Zero.

I think what makes Subnautica creatures so scary is that none of their encounters are scripted. You can get a general idea of where they are on the map, but there is never that one moment in every playthrough where it pops out for a jump scare. They just do what they do and patrol the area. Every leviathan encounter is organic. You can't anticipate it no matter how much you know about the game.

[drifting mountain]

The leviathans in below zero look cuter imo

[surreal elm]

@fervent cypress i see the island but why i don't see anything under me-

[fervent cypress]

#subnautica-chat
but otherwise, it’s just because… it’s quite deep

[surreal elm]

oh. Wrong chat again

...

[carmine bobcat]

I swear this must be a universal experience when first entering deep twisty

[drifting mountain]

It's hard to open lockers in this game since every time you try to open a locker it tells you to rename it

[forest plover]

@drifting mountain it is so beautiful but i must admit its scare factor is definitely up there as well

@drifting mountain and omg yes it is!! Especially at the beginning when you use them floating ones

[forest plover]

Good Morning Below Zero fans, how are we all doing today?

[drifting mountain]

Did the devs make this music too or is it fan-made? It's 🔥

[eternal garnet]

all jukebox songs are fan made

er, except maybe "One"

[drifting mountain]

Is there an option to listen to music in a seatruck

[eternal garnet]

yes. Scan and add the sleeper module

find it in ||purple vents||

[drifting mountain]

k thx

[dapper meadow]

Will the prawn suit's drill arm thing scare off animals?

[dapper meadow]

That one was made by JT Music, and is indeed fanmade

My headcanon about it is that, after Riley escaped 4546B, someone made a song about it

based on, like, any books or whatever he made after it

Maybe Subnautica (the game) is actually an in-universe game based on what happened to Riley

[fading panther]

I’m listening to my JT Music Playlist rn

[dapper meadow]

It's always good when you accidentally run across a stash of items that you dropped when you died

[formal hornet]

Yo, can anyone tell me how to make a seaglide in the game?

Asap pls

[dapper meadow]

First you need the blueprint

You can get that by scanning seaglide parts around the map using a Scanner

Got either a blueprint or a Scanner?

[formal hornet]

Thanks m8

[formal hornet]

I got both

I’ve found 2 seaglide parts already

[dapper meadow]

Good

[dapper meadow]

From there you go to the Deployables tab in your Fabricator

[thorn pier]

Yall so i love the game and im also learning web development and so what kind of website would yall want to see?

[formal hornet]

I got it! Cheers mate

[formal hornet]

What are you looking for exactly? A game or a guide, is it something related to subnautica ?

[dapper meadow]

We getting into a trillion credits of debt with Alterra with this one

[eternal garnet]

note that there's two map websites that are hard to beat

one will also track progress

[dapper meadow]

a log of all conversations between robin and alan

i love those and i wish there were more of them

[swift agate]

does anyone have some tips for base building in BZ? made a starter base but cant get on top of it to place solar panels and stuff

[thorn pier]

Aleight

[thorn pier]

Im not trying to beat anything i just want to make a project/website just to practice yk?

[eternal garnet]

right

[thorn pier]

Im looking for ideas and when i mean the game i mean below zero

[thorn pier]

Did you place it on land or water?

[formal hornet]

Maybe a entire guide, how to craft everything, where to find everything, all the mobs

[thorn pier]

I dont think how to craft everything is needed as u have the pda with blueprints

[dapper meadow]

Headcanon: Cured hoopfish tastes kinda like soused herring

[formal hornet]

I mean, still would be useful

[thorn pier]

Could yall write your ideas in my dms? So i can keep track of everything

[dapper meadow]

Banger food btw

[dapper wing]

hello, i have a wuestion, i alr scan the ||precursors skeleton and precursors skin|| and Al-An doesnt send me any alien artfacts?

[eternal garnet]

alan doesn't drive your story, except a little

[dapper wing]

ahh.... i thought the all story was abt al-am ._.

so what?

[eternal garnet]

so you need to find the third with only hints

[dapper wing]

_<

[eternal garnet]

I can give one, it's ||deep ||

[dapper wing]

okey

[eternal garnet]

I assume by ||skin you mean tissues||

[dapper wing]

so like the alien skin?

[eternal garnet]

no

[dapper wing]

but i just have hints and must to find it by myself

[dapper wing]

yeah,yeah

[swift agate]

land, its on a big ice patch right next to the deep twisty bridges since im assuming im going to have to go down there a lot

[thorn pier]

Yeah well u can just plop a solar panel next to ur base and it will work

[swift agate]

ohhh lol i thought u needed a power transmitter for that

[eternal garnet]

no they transmit power about 4 meters

[thorn pier]

Any ideas for a below zero website?

[dapper meadow]

The Koppa Mining Site is beautiful for getting materials

Walking out of there with a prawn suit full of copper, diamonds and rubies

[dapper wing]

Are there Crystal caves biom under the margauerit maida seabase?

[dapper meadow]

I probably have enough rubies and diamonds if I have enough to need separate lockers for them instead of putting them together

[thorn pier]

Wait so like all the same and alan logs right? Sorry for this but like do you have any other ideas?

[thorn pier]

No way.. im always running out of them

[dapper wing]

can a someone answa?

Plz

[dapper meadow]

The most annoying part about having a base far away from the drop pod is that computer chips are significantly harder to produce

because you gotta go back to the twisty bridges

Cool I finally got the hicap o2 tank blueprint

[eternal garnet]

yes it is. There's one entrance there

[dapper wing]

okey thank you

i thought nobody will gonna asnwer me

[eternal garnet]

drop a beacon when you find it

[dapper wing]

k

is it a step to al-an lore?

[eternal garnet]

I guess so

[dapper meadow]

the Twisty Bridges are actually insanely friendly to prawn suits more than anything

All the bridges form points you can hop to and from with the suit

[carmine bobcat]

I feel like a sea monkey swinging vine to vine with the grappling hook

[dapper meadow]

ngl i love showing predator fish why they don't want this smoke when they get too close to my prawn suit

[glacial gorge]

in what biome can i find quartz deposits?

[eternal garnet]

west arctic and crystal caves

[glacial gorge]

what about tree spires?

bc i just found litterally only 1 and cant seem to find any other

[dapper meadow]

I have finally named my Prawn Suit

Her name is Idris now

[prime ether]

Yo who wants to do a live quiz on sub

like rn

I'm bored

[blazing phoenix]

Where can I find magnetite?

Also does the Seatruck take damage from thermal vents

For the ||koppa mining site||

[formal hornet]

I’ve progressed very far

And I don’t want to play anymore 😭

Wth man 😭😭

[echo trail]

You're in the void

[formal hornet]

Yep, I’m gone

I rushed back o base we good I ventured a bit too far out

[blazing phoenix]

I'm in the koppa mining site and I'm about to die from thirst ehh

I respawned in my Seatruck

Phew

[dapper wing]

water 🙂

[blazing phoenix]

I'm scared I'm in the purple vents biome and I didn't know there are chelicerates there and one is chasing me

Also is the ||PK8 artifact|| supposed to be ||just an entrance into a volcano or is there something inside of it||

[dapper meadow]

why is marguerit so hot

[blazing phoenix]

Oh ok

[dapper meadow]

oh god i do not like that

[feral coyote]

i didnt realize they were eyes for the longest time

[steel stream]

It's called eye jelly...

[feral coyote]

i didnt scan them

[steel stream]

Pointing with scanner is enough to get the name

[blazing phoenix]

What is that.

[dapper meadow]

an eye

[blazing phoenix]

What biome is this

[blazing phoenix]

A chelicerate aggro'd on me while I was inside of a ventgarden lol

I'm scared he's gonna eat my Seatruck

I forgot to put in the perimetral defense

Pls I'm scared I'm paused rn

I've been attacked by chelicerates often in the purple vents but this is really scary for some reason

[feral coyote]

their ai is stupid youre fine

unless youre using custom

[blazing phoenix]

Whats a custom

I'll try

I put my perimeter defense in

But I think it's still aggro

[steel shoal]

If you're not in it, it won't attack it

It's like the Cyclops with the engine off

[woven pine]

The chelicerates are beings from Hell on aggression 4 bro

[dry parrot]

i just got inside my seatruck.. i was on 45% health

[austere river]

waiter!! more near death experiences!!

[drifting mountain]

What does the prawn storage module do since there's already storage in a prawn suit?

[woven pine]

It increases the size of said storage.

[drifting mountain]

cool thx

Also the alien statue triggered no dialogue...

[carmine bobcat]

Custom mode

Allows you to mess with specific statistics in the game, like player damage, creature aggression

[real steeple]

Is there any way to get more than 2 squidshark eggs? (only 2 are on the map)

I'm trying to have a squidshark egg in my lockers, a squidshark item in my lockers AND a squidshark in alien containment

And it seems like getting this isnt possible...
Unless someone here has some idea?

[steel stream]

I've heard that creatures breeding in containment would produce eggs which then hatch. But I have never seen 'extra' eggs in containment, just having more creatures when they breed. Then again, I have never stayed in the base and watch if there is some period of time when the breeding makes new eggs🤷‍♂️

Obviously with commands you can spawn one egg...

[real steeple]

Hmmmm, from the wiki it sounds like breeding in containment produces new fish directly, not their eggs...

But I could try to make sure on another save

[steel stream]

That's what I think too. It's just that I've heard many times people telling that breeding would happen by new eggs🤷‍♂️

[real steeple]

alright, so I will try it
But if it fails, then that means there is no way for me to get 2 squidsharks and 1 egg, right?

[steel stream]

Not without commands

[dapper wing]

Wdym "leviathan class life form near"?!

AAA

Bro leave me Alone i'm just 2 calories to ya

[molten kite]

But how many calories are in the batteries powering your sub?

[dapper wing]

Idk

Is Grav arm useless in Prawn?

By "grav" i mean propolsion

[eternal garnet]

not useless, not terribly useful

[blazing phoenix]

Is the cave with amethyst safe? I found it near ||Maida's base||

Nvm it isn't I'm getting outta there.

[carmine bobcat]

Pull out ye old console commands

[bold monolith]

Breeding fishes should produce eggs.

[eternal garnet]

@real steeple having a battle with the bot. Just stop, it always wins

[real steeple]

yes i am.

Twice in a row

Literally 1984

[bold monolith]

People like to reference 1984 to contest any moderation decision.

[eternal garnet]

And now you have mods watcing you

[real steeple]

Lol anyways, what i tried to write was "wait thats amazing" to this but in all caps, but got harassed by mod bot

So just imagine I wrote it😄

[eternal garnet]

bot considers caps as shouting. It was set this way by devs. I do not disagree

also we don't want reaction gifs here

[real steeple]

"stop having fun🗣️"

Okay, im just joking lol

I joined here like yesterday, so i just didnt know this server was so moderated

[feral coyote]

i just stay in servers with nearly no rules and servers like this at the same time
"perfectly balanced, as all things should be"

[eternal garnet]

Company server used by kids. It has to be

[feral coyote]

i guess that first part is fair
the server being official somewhat dictates its moderation

[eternal garnet]

A lot, even

[real steeple]

Okay, I checked it and it does work. However, I also tried it with yellow trivalves, and they didnt seem to breed? Is it possible that trivalves cant breed?

[bold monolith]

You're right they don't.

[real steeple]

💀💀
So close to being able to finish my project of getting all items...
I will now need to sacrifice one of my containment trivalves, which is something I didnt wanna do XD
But anyways, thanks for help!

[drifting mountain]

I scanned this alien artifact and it did nothing. It gave no new info, no new dialogue.

[thick quarry]

Bigger aquarium

[steel shoal]

One more artifact scanned. After a certain number of artifacts, you'll get a new blueprint

The more artifacts you scan, the more you get

Until you unlock everything, at least

[drifting mountain]

k thx

[dapper wing]

Nah this game is Perfect. I just spawn in a seat and friging Die!

[ashen quarry]

yeah bro so perfect

[formal hornet]

Why does the sky occasionally turn red with red rain

[ashen quarry]

that means

its over for u

[formal hornet]

[steel stream]

One option is to read through server rules when joining a new server...
(Specifically rule #4 mentions excessive use of caps)

[fading panther]

Below zero is indeed way ahead of its time, perfect in every way, except it doesn’t have hoverfish, but I can forgive that for how good the game is!

Imagine I was yelling that sentence

Cuz we can’t do caps

[steel shoal]

Sunrise is very orange

It just means you're starting the morning with a storm

[fading panther]

“Red in the morning sailers take warning, Red at night sailers delight”

[formal hornet]

Ah I see

[dapper wing]

Should i go to crystal caves with seatruck or Prawn suit (i got both on MK3 s. And MK2 p.)

Hello? Someone online?

[fading panther]

It’s best to do with the prawn because it’s easier to hide behind crystals

[feral coyote]

prawn suit is overall better from my experience

[dapper wing]

Ok

Should i take something more?

[fading panther]

Repair tool

[dapper wing]

Ok

[dapper wing]

I alw took that

In my Prawn i got jumping higher module, drill arm and mk2

Anythin else?

[feral coyote]

thats what i went with

[dapper wing]

Ok

Shadows are Very annoying

[feral coyote]

agreed

[winged rune]

Hi, does anyone know how to reliably sneak past the chelicerate at artifact Pk8 (the big hole on the ground)

I don't have shock module for seatruck yet and I'd rather avoid confrontation with it to begin with

[feral coyote]

idk i just ran down

[south burrow]

I suggest you get the shock module lol, most reliable way to deal with em

[south burrow]

Also you get that for free from ||Maida’s base||

[winged rune]

Thank you, I was wondering where that was if not from sea monkey nests

[south burrow]

You can get afterburner upgrade for the seatruck to help with evading chelis from sea monkey nests in the area leading up to ||Maida’s base||

[steel stream]

On the other hand right timed zap from perimeter defence or standing away from pilot seat in the seatruck cancels all attacks🤷‍♂️

[formal hornet]

Yoo I js explored the dock island and woah I got so much stuff that’s so cool Wiring kit computer chip enameled glass habitat builder drone multipurpose room observatory all building stuff solar babel power transmitter bio reactor ladder lockers beds machines jukeboxes desks chairs and what not now I can make custom bases

[south burrow]

Bring the prawn suit on the docking module of the seatruck

[formal hornet]

But I need like gold and silver, where I get that from?

[south burrow]

Silver comes from argentite outcrops, gold comes from calaverite outcrops, you can find them both in the thermal vents around the island you just mentioned

[formal hornet]

Aw I gotta go back then, damn it, you mean those caves with the heating flowers?

[feral coyote]

the ones that look like a bunch of tall sharp black gray geysers

[south burrow]

Not specifically the caves, though there will be some down there, I mean outside the island, in the water

[steel stream]

Also kelp forest caves have both

[feral coyote]

they surround the island for the most part

[formal hornet]

Oh in the water!

[south burrow]

When I said around I meant like in the water around the island yeah lmao

[feral coyote]

yes

[formal hornet]

Plus that wierd lady jumpscares me and I couldn’t do anything with the radio tower, prolly later in the game

[feral coyote]

yes 👍

[south burrow]

Did you listen to the PDAs

[formal hornet]

That’s cool, alr thanks I’ll continue tomorrow try to get gold and silver

[formal hornet]

I grabbed them but didn’t listen to it

[south burrow]

Below Zero is much more story/character focused so I recommend you listen to em

Paints a bigger picture and helps you find out what happened to your sister

[formal hornet]

I see, got it will do that

[south burrow]

have fun !

[formal hornet]

Which at the end of the game we don’t do right? 💀 and subnautica 2 isn’t related to this one itseems

[formal hornet]

Yeah until I meet a leviathan 💀🙏🏻 but yeah very fun game

[south burrow]

Subnautica 2 is on an entirely different planet with new characters, while Below Zero and SN1 happen on the same planet with connected characters (in some ways).

And you'll find out.

[formal hornet]

I see, better hope this was worth it and Sam is alive for gods sake. Thx guys

I started the game for the first time played for 2 hrs and logged off forgetting to save, I experienced pain. So I hope I saved this time I forgot

Lemme check

K I did. Good. Bye 👋

[eternal garnet]

uh, save often, not at the end

[dapper wing]

What direction should i go?I'm in crystal caves entrance near margatueit maida's base

I'm looking for smth

[eternal garnet]

east

[dapper wing]

Ok

Should i go aby caves?

By*

Cause idk

@eternal garnet

[eternal garnet]

what caves?

at 670m, there's a spectacular thing

[dapper wing]

Idk i'm at crystal caves entrance near maida base, what direction should i go? (East?)

[dapper wing]

K

I mean those little canons

[eternal garnet]

probablty not, they just have some prawn mining

[dapper wing]

Ok

So right east?

[eternal garnet]

mosrtly. the cave is a little crooked

[dapper wing]

Ok

Will Alan or sombdy says smth when i near

[eternal garnet]

yes!

[dapper wing]

Okey!

So its a Alan thing

I know.. its that thing u were talking to me earlier,

"hint deep"

[winged rune]

I got all performence upgrades, it was just the cleverly hidden shock module that I was missing lol. Btw, with a fully undocked seatruck, horsepower module, and afterburner module, can you temporarily outrun chelicerates?

[south burrow]

afterburner can yes, best to shock them first tho

[winged rune]

Oh shock it so it'll leave you alone for a few seconds, enough to possibly slip down into the entrance?

[light gazelle]

|| found the last piece for al-ans new body! ||

yippiez

[south burrow]

yeah, you have to time it tho or let yourself get caught and THEN use shock + afterburner to get down there

[winged rune]

Oh it'll still grab you even if you shock it just before it grabs?

[south burrow]

no i mean its a bit hard to time the shock before they grab you

easier to take a bit of damage when they grab you for a guaranteed shock

[winged rune]

Actually wait, are you still immune to creature attacks while holding a fish?

I mean its not appealing swimming through big fish territory in just a dive suit but if it works it works lol

[south burrow]

i have never heard of this

[winged rune]

Oh, well in the first subnatica yea you can swim up to a reaper or any other hostile carnivore with a fish in your hand and none will damage or grab you (unsure about seadragon), but it will just consume the fish. They will otherwise damage you fully without a fish in hand

[dapper meadow]

Are marblemelons a worthwhile food to grow?

[thick brook]

Yes

[south burrow]

in BZ, the best plant is fevered peppers, and by a longshot

there's no real reason to grow anything else, even for bioreactor, because they do great in that too

you should also grow preston's delight to make salad with the peppers

[thick brook]

Did they nerf marblemelons?

[winged rune]

If you don't want a water filtration machine sure, but its not as powerful as in the first subnatica as youcant plant any in the seatruck

[south burrow]

not especially

[thick brook]

Oo

[south burrow]

it's just that fevered peppers are WAY Better

than everything else, and its not close

[thick brook]

That's crazy cause marblemelons already provided a lot

[south burrow]

peppers combined with preston's delight give you salad which doesn't rot and gives the most hunger, thirst, AND 100% heat

so there's no reason to have anything else, especially considering the salad only takes up one slot each

[dapper meadow]

I just have some growbeds with all the different stuff for a balanced diet

[vivid void]

I am inclined to believe that Below Zero, like the original Subnautica, takes place on top of a supervolcano

[dapper meadow]

Will fish in an aquarium reproduce or do I need to catch more?

[winged rune]

I mean marblemelons pair well with your drain stats, but fevered peppers supply 1 extra water while being able to have 6 in one 4x4 slot, so its more water dense

[vivid void]

What's y'all's thoughts on that?

[south burrow]

Not using fevered peppers is kinda just working against yourself

plus, salad

[light gazelle]

OMG HES HOT

[dapper meadow]

Saladmaxxing it is

[dapper meadow]

Agreed

[south burrow]

hear me out cake moment

[feral coyote]

would

[dapper meadow]

hold on have i found someone who just matched my freak

[vivid void]

Does anyone else agree that Below Zero takes place on an extinct volcano?

[modest sedge]

Nah bro got an X from a guy called “ wrong”

[south burrow]

ok but, wb the PDA

[light gazelle]

wot

[feral coyote]

does this mean bz takes place on an extinct volcano?

[dapper meadow]

okay yeah looking at the stats salad is just overpowered

[feral coyote]

[dapper meadow]

S1 or BZ?

[south burrow]

you heard me

[modest sedge]

Idk I don’t have bz only subnautica

[light gazelle]

nu i genunially didnt understand wot u meant- isnt wb welcome back

[south burrow]

i prefer S1

[winged rune]

Eh, there's no lava zones though like the first game and the void has a more gradual drop down, which is descriptive of a continental plate. I think I remember hearing 4546b is a younger world conpared to earth, so its more geoactive in general and thats why we see so many thermal vents

[vivid void]

I mean think about it, how else would massive beryl crystals form?

[south burrow]

i use it as what 'bout

[dapper meadow]

Can I sustain myself on a diet consisting of purely salads?

[light gazelle]

ohhh hek yea

[south burrow]

absolutely

[vivid void]

BZ also has multiple thermal vents dotted around the center of the map

[dapper meadow]

Idea: Extra hardcore mode that requires you to sleep, keep track of nutritional values of stuff, etc

[vivid void]

Beryl is usually rare, so having those mass amounts of beryl and morganite dotting all over the seafloor and walls of the crystal and fabricator caverns would be formed by volcanic activity

That aside I just wanna stare at the crystals for hours

[light gazelle]

i now finished subnautica below zero, 10/10 would recomend, loved it.
could have more fun exploring and researching the fauna with slightly less wo'ah scare factor- although the land parts were definitely terrifying.

also, ||al-an is hot af||

[feral coyote]

📸

[south burrow]

let them cook

[light gazelle]

excuse me did i stutter?

also discord light mode is crazy

[feral coyote]

im not denying it but still

[dapper meadow]

Will the fruits on Preston's Plant regrow over time?

[light gazelle]

i belive so, same with any plant with froot

at least they seemed to regrow for me

[south burrow]

yeah but they're irrelevant for the salad, you need to knife them for the leaves

[dapper meadow]

They're relevant for the salad because I need to keep regrowing the plants

[south burrow]

fair enoug

[winged rune]

Volanic activity sure, there's a lot of that on 4546b. Supervolcano? Not inherently required for these formations, and the absence of a lava chamber such as on S1 may lead it to just be normal geothermal vents. Considering there's enough energy below the crust for a supervolcano in the first game, there's more then enough energy for plate tectonics as well which seems more likely given the scale of how much land is beyond in the glaciers

[dapper meadow]

Also preston's delight is decent enough as a side-food to the salad

hang on the fruit salad is just better than the nutrient block?

okay yeah it's op as hell

[winged rune]

But yea theories aside they are definitely something worthwhile to witness

[south burrow]

its the best food item in both games by a longshot

[winged rune]

Yes, it supplies a lot of water too

Almost a third of your bar to be exact

[dapper meadow]

Does BZ have a source of unlimited ion cubes like S1 or nah

[winged rune]

Nope

[vivid void]

No

[winged rune]

Limited unfortunately

But there's a fair few so don't gotta worry too much about ions

[south burrow]

the game gives you a LOT more ways to get them

[winged rune]

Especially if there's displine in what devices you consider worthwhile for an ion

[winged rune]

Yea and one way has me second and third guessing myself lol

[broken badge]

There’s still plenty of cubes in BZ even if they’re not infinite

[dapper meadow]

Marblemelons do have one benefit over the salad

[winged rune]

I forget, there's the seatruck ||teleportation module|| right?

[dapper meadow]

Yes

[dapper meadow]

You can produce a lot of them really quickly for a bioreactor

Same for the potatoes

Also marblemelons can multiply really quickly, with one melon you can make 4 seeds

[south burrow]

salad isn't for bioreactor

the fevered pepper is great for it and is better and faster for the bioreactor

the salad is purely for consumption

[winged rune]

Doesn't that consume part of an ion cube?

[broken badge]

You eat the salad

[dapper meadow]

The marblemelonds are

[south burrow]

use the peppers instead

[dapper meadow]

You can produce significantly more melons per planter than peppers

[south burrow]

they get more energy per slot than marblemelons

[south burrow]

?

[broken badge]

Peppers are great for the bio
Although I tend to use those root pustules
You can’t grow them, but they last a very long time

[south burrow]

you get like 6-8 peppers per 4 slots which is more than one marblemelon per slot

[dapper meadow]

A single melon provides 4 seeds and a single growbed grows 16 melons

[south burrow]

seeds are even worse

again you get more energy per slot with the fevered pepper

[winged rune]

What land plant has the highest density per slot?

[dapper meadow]

I don't think energy per slot matters that much, at least not in my experience

[dapper meadow]

Fevered peppers I think

[south burrow]

fevered pepper

it outranks marblemelons by 70

[dapper meadow]

In terms of numbers, you can grow significantly more melons than peppers

[south burrow]

marblemelon seeds are NOT efficient

[dapper meadow]

JUST THE MELONS

[broken badge]

If you don’t use a stat like energy value per slot of an item, then how else do you compare things?
Sure, there are other factors in play, like how fast you can grow things, or obtain them, or breed fish etc.
But still, the energy value per slot is still important

[south burrow]

melons are still worse than peppers lol

[broken badge]

The wiki likely has energy values on it for things

[winged rune]

I was just wondering coz if I'm ever to do a permanant base then it doesn't necessarily matter how fast stuff grows

On a bioreactor that is

[south burrow]

marblemelons take 13 minutes to fully mature one

peppers grow 1 per 5 minutes

[winged rune]

But like a temporary scanner outpost it would probably help to have a fast growing plant

[south burrow]

1 pepper is better for bio than 1 marblemelon

[dapper meadow]

Yeah but in a single growbed that's only four per five minutes max vs. 16 marblemelons per go

[broken badge]

Peppers are really good, I suggest them. Gel sacks aren’t bad
Still root pustules are great if you don’t mind collecting something that can’t be grown

[south burrow]

12 peppers vs 16 marblemelons in 15 minutes

with the 12 peppers giving more energy than the 16 marblemelons

[broken badge]

Root pustules are 700 energy

[winged rune]

True, but you're growing 4 marbles at a time in a pot which comes out to 3.25 per minute

[south burrow]

^

[dapper meadow]

That's of course not including the peppers you're growing for salad as well

[winged rune]

Do those regrow btw?

[south burrow]

the difference isn't large enough to constitute using marblemelons over peppers considering peppers are better for energy

[winged rune]

^

Or eating for water consumption

[winged rune]

So techniqually a finite source

[broken badge]

Yes

[south burrow]

idk WHAT yall are doing that requires an absurd amount of energy that you cannot make salad and provide for the bioreactor

[winged rune]

Good in a pinch but mot sustained

[south burrow]

i used peppers after trying melons and it worked just fine

[dapper meadow]

That is curious, where'd my prawn suit go?

[south burrow]

with a scanner room, dock, moonpool and filtration machine

[winged rune]

Floodlights, gotta fight the darkness somehow

[south burrow]

real ones built in the twisty bridges

[winged rune]

Especially the one called shadow

[dapper meadow]

My prawn suit just up and disappeared

[winged rune]

Did you turn the gps signel off?

[broken badge]

The wiki doesn’t even give an energy value for the salad, does it have any?

[dapper meadow]

That's the funny thing, it's not in the menu either

[winged rune]

Or did you accidentally activate invisibility

Hm

Gotta love bugnautica

[dapper meadow]

I fear the worst

[south burrow]

Idk if you can even put it in

[winged rune]

Fully upgraded?

[dapper meadow]

Just a jump jet upgrade, storage module and drill arm

I did leave it outside in an area with some real big fish which might've been a questionable choice looking back on it

[winged rune]

Not too bad then, least it wasnt a thermal reactor

[broken badge]

I play freedom, which sadly the game doesn’t let you enjoy the salad in freedom, even for heat, so it’s rare I’ve made it😭

[winged rune]

Then its just a subnatica moment

[eternal garnet]

crazy idea: try survival, custom tweaked even. Just for variation

[south burrow]

never tried survival?

[broken badge]

I have played custom

[eternal garnet]

custom with eating and a little more dfficult

[winged rune]

Freedom from sustenence, enslaved to the cold

[broken badge]

Sure, I’ve played survival a few times, it’s been necessary for testing

[south burrow]

fair enough

[broken badge]

It’s just not my preferred thing

[eternal garnet]

I agree actually

[south burrow]

i like survival the most because it keeps my brain more active

tho after you get to ||Maida's Greenhouse|| staying alive is the easiest thing ever

[dapper meadow]

What have y'all called your vehicles?

[south burrow]

i kept with the alterra greek alphabet naming scheme and used stuff like Epsilon and such

for sn1 i named my vehicles after greek heroes
