below-zero-chat

[echo trail]

Maida multiplied this factor

It does feel weird tho

[worldly condor]

Yeah I get that it's most likely not iodine and a chili, but it really doesn't make sense as to how she can make the cure AT ALL considering alterra definitely didn't give her access to that info and she has like zero qualifications other than like a high school level of chemistry to replicate the whole cure that the precursors couldn't.

[echo trail]

We're sure she didn't have access to an injection of enzyme 42?

[worldly condor]

Yeah I mean that would be a valid characteristical reason, if it weren't for the fact that Sam's supposed to be an intelligent scientist who could create all these things so it's kinda weird

[echo trail]

Are those mutually exclusive?

[worldly condor]

It's possible but from what I've seen off the pda entries there's nothing to suggest that she had access to anything like that

[worldly condor]

which are?

[echo trail]

Impulse and smart

[worldly condor]

I mean I don't think that someone like her, who by the way seemed pretty reasonable throughout most of the story, would just go through with an idea of using dangerous explosives without even thinking for a second about the fact that they had A CURE RIGHT WITH THEM and not thinking to use that instead

like we can easily do it in game so there's no reason why she couldn't have

[echo trail]

That's a good point

[worldly condor]

Yeah idk I felt like having sam do something else that was actually related to robotics, and maybe like just being caught and secretly executed or smth like that would've made more sense than changing her character completely, but ig this is what we ended up with so oh well.. By the way your pfp is rlly nice there a particular show you got it from?

[echo trail]

Thanks, it's from the warrior cats graphic novel

[worldly condor]

ohhh wait that, you talking about gray-stripe or someone from riverclan cuz those are the only ones who come to my head on that

[worldly condor]

oh wait lwk that could be smudge

[echo trail]

It's stormfur as a kit

[worldly condor]

ohhh I see wasn't he the one that left for some tribe in the mountains (can't remember their name)

[worldly condor]

surprised you didn't put bramblestar tho considering thats your user lol

Then again, my user's from one piece and I'm using aluber the dogmatic from yugioh so I can't talk lol

[thorn wedge]

The what?

[wind gyro]

no ones doing this gang

[tawdry snow]

Why not i want to

[zenith cove]

bro how do i play this

[feral coyote]

you buy it

[fierce otter]

dive into the ocean

[cloud shell]

By playing

[zenith cove]

im like overwhelmed

ive played the origional game so what are the differences

[torpid valley]

People

[lilac apex]

It's its own game taking place in a different biome, with different creatures, with a different story... you're gonna have to be more specific

[wide condor]

Harmless chelicerate 🤣

[neon narwhal]

Thats pretty cool!

[wide condor]

Nevermind he is not harmless

[worldly condor]

oh its from the dogmatika in the branded despia lore theme from yugioh

[neon narwhal]

Nooooooo!

[wide condor]

He lost

[neon narwhal]

Oh good! 🤣 glad you didnt get eatten

[wide condor]

But im not safe lol

[neon narwhal]

Dang it! You need to get somewhere safe, under a blanket maybe?!

[thorn wedge]

Ok

[stable barn]

what do y'all do in the first 1 hour of playing below zero

cuz uhhh i already built a base...

[tranquil meteor]

I get the scanner room blueprints as soon as possible, then set up a base in the twisty bridges.

[sonic tide]

anybody wanna join me in bz

[halcyon dome]

Do you think building a base on top of a lily pad was worth it (I can’t park my sea truck or prawn suit there) (really cool though😼)

[stable barn]

js make a moonpool and a seatruck dock below the lilypad by attaching them to the main base using uhhh those vertical tunnels with ladders or sum, thats what i always do

[halcyon dome]

Do you also build your base on the lily pads?

[stable barn]

rarely but i did once

[halcyon dome]

I just really like the scenery of the lily pads

[stable barn]

did y'all every try doing this? (making a base on top of an ice shelf)

[halcyon dome]

Don’t they move though?

[stable barn]

nah

[halcyon dome]

I’ll try that on my next run

Seems cool

[bright patrol]

chat what should i do next im bored

[halcyon dome]

What are you up to

[trail scroll]

who wants to play BZ multiplayer

[halcyon dome]

I’ll do it

I just don’t know how

[trail scroll]

u mean how to install the multiplayer mod?

[halcyon dome]

Also how to get mods

[trail scroll]

isk but for multiplayer priv dm me

[halcyon dome]

Ok

I can play in the morning

It’s 10pm for me now

[trail scroll]

k

[orchid rune]

Where to build the base

[halcyon dome]

Twisty bridges

Or lily pad

[tranquil meteor]

Twisty Bridges is the optimal place to build your first base and scanner room. It has access to everything except Ruby, Kyanite and Magnetite. If you're gonna build a massive one though, I like to build in the East Arctic.

[lilac apex]

well now i gotta know what's with that huge glass tube

[near lichen]

lmao the reinforced silo stopping ther glass tube from falling apart

[granite wedge]

Happy Fri the 13th, my friends 😄

[carmine bobcat]

do you smell it

[tranquil meteor]

Just for looks. It's kind of like an irl underwater tube. It's cool to take a long walk and look at the glow whales.

The reinforcement silo also functions as a room for massive storage. I like building bases in the void and my design requires an astronomical amount of resources. Three stories are devoted to titanium, two stories are for glass and one is for lithium and other ore.

I just hoard all of it and then build for an entire day. Sounds insane, but I love Subnautica 🙃

[bright patrol]

chat should i make a 3 story base just for plants?

i have alot of titanium

[halcyon dome]

Make a 3 story aquarium trust

[bright patrol]

i have a large room which i will do that but in the large room

[gusty nymph]

I know its maybe a stupid question but i never really got an anwer to that so maybe someone could tell me
How did marguerit survive the kharaa bacteria?

[halcyon dome]

Idk tbh

I think she just didn’t get infected

Don’t take my word for it though

[dim bramble]

⚠️Major story spoiler⚠️ || at what point in the story are you supposed to give the antidote to the frozen leviathan cause I found it when I have the recipe for one of the architect parts||

[steel stream]

The game is not linear, you can do stuff at your own pace and own order

So the answer to any 'at what point should I do thing x' is usually 'when you choose to'

[sterile violet]

Bruh

[sterile violet]

People discover open world games for the first time

[outer hemlock]

My theory is Bioaccumulation of Enzyme 42 through eating reaper leviathan flesh

[manic solar]

Guys, where I can find Prawn Suit Jump Jet Upgrade?

[feral coyote]

it should be available after making the prawn

does require a vehicle upgrade console to be crafted, though

[stoic surge]

I think there is one to be found in ||the lower reaches of Koppa mine||

[manic solar]

ty

[frozen edge]

is teh sleeper module worth it?

[frozen edge]

me for example i have all depth upgrades and like 2 decent bases and i have barely went to deep purple vents

[steel stream]

If you want to listen to jukebox music in seatruck

[frozen edge]

does it drain battery more

[stable barn]

y'all i found a way to build a massive base despite not being on land but above twisty bridges

js build on an ice shelf,above the bridges

[stoic surge]

Fun fact - If a new track starts playing while you're driving, the track name will be displayed on the front window

[tawdry snow]

every animal on the planet 4546b has atleast a little bit of enzyme 42 but higher un the food chain the more of enzyme 42 the animals will have so a reaper leviathan has a lot of enzyme 42 and while Marguerit ate the reaper she consumed enzyme 42 so she got cured and by the time she reached sector zero everything there was cured

[frozen edge]

can i just throw out a depleated reactor rod

or can i refill it somehow

[tawdry snow]

Yup

Nope

[frozen edge]

yup or nope

[tawdry snow]

Yup

[tawdry snow]

Nope

[steel stream]

Cannot refill, cannot recycle...nuclear waste disposal to get rid of it, or drop somewhere out of sight

[frozen edge]

why doesnt my nuclear reactor not want to get built in a large room

does it need a normal multipurpose room

nvm it works now

what do i do with big amounts of titanium

[weak marten]

Build or expand your base

[frozen edge]

i dont feel the need to

it has everything i need

i could take all my stuff and put it ina large room

can you stack large rooms?

[weak marten]

Even if you dont need to, wouldnt it be cool having a big base? Also base building is really fun in my opinion

[weak marten]

Yes

[frozen edge]

i am a minimalist

uhh i cant stack large room

cuz i built a farm on mine

whats recyclotlon

sounds like a transformer

[clear glen]

autobots roll out

[frozen edge]

maximals maximize or smth

i liked beast wars

[frozen edge]

whats the best food

something to keep in my seatruck as a emergency food source

something that doesnt rot

[halcyon dome]

What I do is stockpile nutrient blocks from the start of the game and from islands and wrecks

But I would also recommend building an aquarium and fabricator module so that when you hit a fish it goes into the aquarium module and then you can take them from there and craft food

Pretty useful to have

[steel stream]

In my custom mode vegan run I used creepvine seed clusters and shrub nuts for early game food and water since they don't rot. I realized that storage space doesn't matter that much since it's freed anyway when I eat the food

[wooden plover]

gime this! i need it, used maybe 300 titanium in a sea base (that still in construction yet..)

[frozen edge]

i dont got the horsepower upgrade and have 2 modules already

it will really slow me down if i get another one

[dim bramble]

Well some of the voice lines didn't make any sense to me and what I have learned

[frozen edge]

does the moonpool repair the prawn

[steel stream]

No

Moonpool only charges. Seatruck dock charges and repairs

[frozen edge]

thats unfortunate

[willow parcel]

is there a display setting for BZ im not seeing? like how subnautica has filmic and regular lighting or something like that? I was hoping that filmic display setting would be on this game as well im not sure if im blind or not

[bold monolith]

Filmic became the default.

In EA there were a bunch of cards related to making it the default and to accommodate the fog color on biomes. For it to not be as dark as in SN1. They dropped the other options.

I don't think you can find them on Favro it's been a while.

[runic tide]

i just got below zero

[jovial stone]

Peepers have these cute little chirps when you're around them or pull em out of your hand but kinda sadden the Arctic Peepers have no cute sounds

[frozen edge]

Whats your favorite food source

[frozen edge]

the nuclear rod doesnt last a lot at all

i spend like 1 rod a day

what can i use salt deposit for

[steel stream]

Cured fish, hydrochloric acid or water purification tablets

[frozen edge]

i got so much from my water making machines and i turned to just destroying it

[steel stream]

Then you wouldn't be happy with other power sources either...

[frozen edge]

cause i have 2 full whatever the big lockers are called

of salt

[steel stream]

(Unless you have insane amounts of solar panels or thermal plants)

[frozen edge]

i have 2 nuclear reactors, 2 bio reactors

and a couple solar panels

[halcyon dome]

Mika just curious how many runs have you done on either survival or hardcore?

[frozen edge]

where can i find some kyanite

[halcyon dome]

Inside the crystal caves

[steel stream]

For below zero I think I have finished only one run (survival). Playing on custom mode and reading a lot so know quite a bit of the game

[frozen edge]

got it

[halcyon dome]

Oh nice, I have completed one survival and one hardcore but to be honest never really explored much about it

[frozen edge]

thats below purple vents right

[halcyon dome]

Like in both runs I never found the frozen leviathan

[halcyon dome]

Yeah

In a cave right next to one of the mercury 2 wrecks

It leads to the crystals cave

[frozen edge]

is there a food source that doesnt rot

that i can craft

[halcyon dome]

Not to my knowledge

Oh wait yeah

You can craft cured foods with salt deposit and a type of fish

[frozen edge]

do cured foods not rot

[halcyon dome]

They don’t rot

[frozen edge]

finally i get to use my copious amount of salt

[halcyon dome]

lol

[frozen edge]

should i be worried about the crabs

[halcyon dome]

Nah

Don’t go close to them though

[frozen edge]

i alaways killed em 😄

[halcyon dome]

You are evil

[frozen edge]

i wish you could use the mineral detector in a prawn

[frozen edge]

you said dont go close to them

i thought that means theyre dangerous

[halcyon dome]

Well yeah but in the same way that you shouldn’t go behind sea threaders

Since they will defend themselves

[halcyon dome]

Yeah that would be useful

[frozen edge]

waiit

what if you could have like multiple arm functions in one arm like your arm converts to different shape or smth, super sci fi

[halcyon dome]

That would be epic

I hope that’s in subnautica 2

Like you can have multiple arm upgrades on one arm that you could switch between

[frozen edge]

how can anybody say a bad thing about the seatruck, i played the first game and the cyclops was way slower and way bigger

the seatruck does almost everything

[steel stream]

You can have several arm upgrades with you and change depending what you need

[frozen edge]

sheet i forgot about the leviathans down in the crystal

for gods sake

[stoic surge]

Fred was quite a fan of it ... I like it also

[frozen edge]

where to find snowfox fragments

[halcyon dome]

On the island

The big one

[frozen edge]

theres a few

[steel stream]

Delta island has none, but the glacial basin area has them scattered all over the place

[frozen edge]

guys

i have 3 full storage things of titanium, what do i do with it

[stoic surge]

Build a large room and partition the helk out of it

[broken badge]

That was changed
Sea treaders no longer attack

[frozen edge]

I got 3 large rooms

Filled with reactors, storage, water filtration

I have too much salt

I have too much water

I thought of making multiple liek resources catche bases every few hundred meters

For water and food in emergency

Or smth idk im bored

[stoic surge]

As I own the Switch version, I try to keep my bases small, which prevents FR dropping, so I always trash my extra stuff

[frozen edge]

Im on PC so yeah

Don’t have that limitation

[stoic surge]

It would reduce your boredom tho - nothing like dealing with a chelicerate with single digit FR happening

[grizzled cloak]

i just got below zero and i ahvent seen ANY videos on it i have no idea how to play this i got to the ||delta|| base and now i have no idea wht to do i also got the ||seatruck|| blueprint but not th evehicle bay

[bleak ferry]

mobile vehicle bay fragments you can find in the startin area and probably kelp forest and on the delta base if you havent found cool scannable interesting fragments (trying not to spoil anything) means you havent explored the whole place and it is kinda hard to find you gotta really look around i suggest leaving breadcrumbs cuz that place is surprisingly confusing

[wild rapids]

I've beaten the game twice already so idm spoilers but what do i do after delta island

[bleak ferry]

||aight after delta island you gotta unfix the satellites so you can talk to marguerita about your sister and also build alan a body||

[wild rapids]

Might wanna spoiler that

[bleak ferry]

o right

i forgot

[wild rapids]

||i didnt get the blueprint for the thing you use on the satellite tower, is it on the island or do i get it later||

[bleak ferry]

i cant remember very well but i think you gotta talk to marguerita after you meet her on delta island and after you unfix the satellites

[wild rapids]

Also where do i find lithium

[bleak ferry]

that i dont remember at all

actually no there are some shale outcrops near delta island

[unique needle]

|| you scan it in her base ||

[wild rapids]

Right thanks

[bleak ferry]

i did remember correctly nice

[unique needle]

you said you get it after doing the thing that you need it for 😭

[bleak ferry]

no i said you have to talk to marguerita after going to delta station and after you unfix the sateliite

once to get the blueprint and the second time to get info about same

sam*

[unique needle]

unless im misunderstanding, he is talking about the thing to unfix the satellite

[bleak ferry]

yea so am i im talking about the blueprint for said thing

[unique needle]

yeah, so your saying you get the blueprint, to unfix the satelitte, from unfixing the satelitte?

[bleak ferry]

you dont get it from talking to her but she does tell you to try and use it

no im saying you get the blueprint after going to delta station then going to marguerita then i added you gotta go back to her after you unfix the satellite

[unique needle]

oh right ok, well then ig your just wrong cause you get it from her base, not alterras (villian having a self destruct button ahh logic)

[bleak ferry]

that is not what im saying choom im saying go to delta station trigger convo with pizza marguerita leave delta station go to pizza talk to her she'll tell you to use the doofer and then you scan it

[unique needle]

no hate but i am trying to interpret what you said in every way and not a single one is the answer

you do you 🙏

[bleak ferry]

i know im bad at explaning myself but this is not what im saying at all mate

[unique needle]

as far as i understand this is what you meant "i cant remember very well but i think you gotta talk to marguerita after you meet her on delta island (then go to pilo - last known locatio, go in her base, find the module, scan it, craft it, use it) and after you unfix the satellites (meet with her again)

[bleak ferry]

isnt that what you're supposed to do ?

[unique needle]

you sorta just left like the whole naswer out and added "what you do before and after" but i got no idea

[bleak ferry]

he asked for the blueprint to unfix the satellites?

[unique needle]

you get the waypoint from finding her, but you get the blueprint from the base

[bleak ferry]

yea and he was asking for the blueprint...

[unique needle]

and you added extra useless info what you do after but didnt make that clear, atleast to me

[unique needle]

yeah

[bleak ferry]

im so bad damn it

[unique needle]

i mean you answered with only 1 location being delta station, which isnt where you get it but where you get the trigger for the location to actually get it

this is very confusing

[bleak ferry]

it wasnt confusing at all to me which is why im saying im terrible at communicating

[wild rapids]

How deep is her base

Can i go with base seatruck

[bleak ferry]

no you cant go without some depth modules

[wild rapids]

Are they in the mining site

[bleak ferry]

i think you need lvl 2 to go all the way but lvl 1 should be enough to go close

[bleak ferry]

shouldnt you have them unlocked when you unlock the seatruck? the depth modules i mean

[wild rapids]

Oh yeah i forgot

How do i get diamonds tho

[bleak ferry]

there's a really big hole close to the starting area with twisting bridges in there at the very bottom you just need a rebreather and a seaglide and you're fine

[kindred wave]

I've been thinking about it lately, is there any official way to still download the pre-rewrite betas?

I've purchased the game on multiple platforms and have followed since early access of S1
I'd love an official way to re-experience the betas

[snow glacier]

Its not letting me answer any calls in the game. I press the answer button but then it just does not do the convo of what they are saying so now I don't know where to go?

[eternal garnet]

reset controls, I think

if you don't answer, it sends voice mail, which you can open in PDA

[snow glacier]

wdym reset controls? Also I do press the answer button every time.

[eternal garnet]

esc, option, controls, reset

[snow glacier]

I'll see if it works next time I get a call

[steel stream]

You can still check your pda and the second tab from the right; all audio logs should be there

[snow glacier]

ever that isn't updated its like 3 hours behind and its still not letting me answer calls

[eternal garnet]

oh, do you have mods? Especially "more quickslots"? replace it with quick slots plus

[snow glacier]

no I haven't installed anymods yet. Was gonna when i beat the story mostly

[uncut vapor]

How do I get more building blueprints for bases? I’m kinda new to subnautica I have the scanner and I managed to get some building blueprints but I’m still missing some more BP

[pure willow]

What do u need

[steel stream]

Mostly by scanning things from abandoned bases. Some base parts can be unlocked from databoxes and also scanning (or crafting) habitat builder gives some basic blueprints

[halcyon dome]

I would recommend going to delta island

That has a lot of base pieces for you to use

[nocturne wind]

calm down

[steel stream]

Delta station also has a map showing other Alterra base locations (where to find more base part blueprints)

[kindred thistle]

how do i get bigger airtank

[left nexus]

find it

or craft it 👍

[kindred thistle]

where can i find it im new to the game

[left nexus]

what part of the game u at / what oxygen tank do u have

[kindred thistle]

first one

72

[left nexus]

u should be able to just craft it if u find the data box i think its in deeep twisty but idk the deep twisty is the rather deep cliff u probably already found

[kindred thistle]

oke

[stable barn]

do nuclear rods ever deplete?

[feral coyote]

i believe they store 20000 energy each just like in sn1

[lilac apex]

Power generation kind of works like batteries- It only drains when you actively use it

[cloud shell]

" welcome to 4546B. Surface temperature is- "

[wild rapids]

You called?

I'm

[tranquil meteor]

Nuclear is a terrific power source in both games. I would buy a lifetime supply of Haribo gummies for anyone who manages to use up every piece of Uranite and deplete every possible Nuclear Rod in the game. Just one rod takes well over an in real time day to use up

[cloud shell]

5000 water filtration machines

Also maybe don't talk about buying people beer.. minors in the server and all that

[wild rapids]

Ok so my seatruck got jammed in the ||door of the mining site||

Idk if theres a way to unblock it and its right in the middle so even if i come back with a prawn i wont be able to get in

[eternal garnet]

There's a hole in the ceiling of the first, and also last, room

goving up via some lava vents

But. This is what savegame is for

[wild rapids]

Yeah well i'm in hardcore and i didnt expect that to happen anyway

Nvm i got it out

[steel stream]

The time ome rod lasts is entirely dependent on power consumption of the base (well, also other power sources and the priority how they are used)

[tranquil meteor]

I changed it to Haribo gums

[broken badge]

Still, 20k units of power for a nuclear rod is still a lot of bang for your buck
I still am surprised people don’t use it more often (maybe it’s lack of knowledge of where to get the ingredients, which aren’t that hard tbh, or lack of knowledge where to get nuclear reactor, esp in SN1, or just kind of lazy maybe🤷‍♀️). I’d rather set up a nuclear reactor than string power transmitters to a thermal source any day. The only downside for nuclear, imo, is the noise. So I just put it somewhere away from my main working area.

I don’t like noisy things in games, that distract. Astroneer has this issue with RTGs, they’re incredibly annoying too

[neon narwhal]

If it anything like the first one they do

[tranquil meteor]

I love thermal.. NGL. But yea. Daisy chaining the transmitters is definitely work.

[tranquil meteor]

Nevermind. I forgot that thermal doesn't work in Below Zero. I use it a lot in SN1 though.

[steel stream]

What? Thermal works just fine when you find the hot spots to build them in

[tranquil meteor]

I tried the thermal spires and trees. They generated enough power for an AI golden doodle robot.

If I have to use the lava deep underground, I'm better off just using bioreactors.

[halcyon dome]

Find the fragments inside of sea monkey nests inside lily pad caves

That’s where I find mine

[lilac apex]

alright enough being aimless after my BZ hardcore file got lost due to nonsense

I'm going to pick up a probably even dumber challenge: Try to complete this one file that's partially finished, with no solid idea of where it is in the story

actually nevermind it's in an awkward boring place

[steel stream]

There's a lava geyser close to Delta dock

[halcyon dome]

The determination is unmatched

[near lichen]

ah yes where I almost died when trying to get ||my first couple diamonds|| in between geyser activations

[halcyon dome]

I lost a hardcore world to a purple vent once

[near lichen]

oop

[main marten]

Is it just me or is the habitat builder nearly impossible to find without a walkthrough?

[steel stream]

Delta station has one

[main marten]

There was a snow storm and it was night time so I walked right past it three times before heading back to my base and went searching all over the sea floor nearby my base for it after realizing that I couldn't find it in any of the other POIs then I finally couldn't take it anymore, checked walk through and went back to where it was

[broken badge]

It’s not in the most obvious place, if you’re wanting it early, early on (i.e. the one in twisty bridges)
But you’ll come across one sooner or later

[steel stream]

Another early place is the small corridor in twisty bridges, from where you also get rebreather or high capacity tank databox (don't remember which one)

[main marten]

I checked the twisty Bridges I couldn't find anything but seaglide and vehicle Bay fragments

[steel stream]

It's a bit deeper, 150ish m

[main marten]

Either way after that wild goose chase I went back to Delta

And searched for it with the knowledge that it was definitely there(thus ending my wild goose chase)

[left nexus]

oh i usualy find it accidentally also its so easy to find theres litteraly a lil tunnel in the twisty bridges that contains a habitat builder

its like a habitat tunnel u can't miss it

[main marten]

I somehow did(for two hours of searching)

[left nexus]

what part are u looking in send ss

[main marten]

I already found it at Delta, I'm just complaining about the 2 hours that I spent looking for it

[broken badge]

Here’s meatie’s pic of the place with the hab builder inside the i tube in twisty bridges (pic courtesy of meatie)

[main marten]

Would have been nice if it was also placed in the habitat with the captain's last known location

[broken badge]

I think that’s where the databox for high cap tank is

[left nexus]

yeah exactly its easy to find

[broken badge]

A bit further down is the platform where the rebreather databox is

[left nexus]

so ur gonna wanna find it XD

[left nexus]

i always just go to that part for seom extra blue prints

[main marten]

I found four data boxes and only one has given me a blueprint the others gave me titanium...

[left nexus]

yh cuz u had the blue print already

[main marten]

So I just got unlucky and got the same blueprint four times in a row?

[steel stream]

But I admit that finding rebreather and high capacity tank requires a little exploring without clues

[left nexus]

its so easy to find bro 😭 😭

[naive willow]

wait what are you looking for

[main marten]

I am glad it was the scanner room that I got though

[main marten]

Pretty much anything new

[left nexus]

find the tube its got 2 blueprints that help a ton with swimming deep

[broken badge]

I’ve played BZ multiple times

I was helping someone else

[main marten]

I played it a little back when it was in Early Access

[left nexus]

i know im talking to the same person

[main marten]

Just started a fresh playthrough today

I know the map of the original subnautica pretty much by heart though

For some reason(unlike the original where I didn't feel like a map was necessary) I keep getting lost in Below Zero

[left nexus]

yh same its so wierd because even with a map the maps don't seem acurate bcs theres water under the ice ...

[main marten]

Even on the first playthrough of the original I could find my way back the way I came through those maze like caves with my spatial awareness but in below zero I keep getting turned around, not sure why

[left nexus]

oh yeah the iceberg caves i got my seatruck stuck in those because of how tight they were and how much there was to go through

[main marten]

If I had to guess then I'd say it's because of the contrast the original used a lot more vibrant colors, but not too dense, which created contrast and served as memorable landmarks, below zero seems to increase the density of those vibrant colors where they exist and use them less in other places lowering the contrast.

[broken badge]

You don’t have as much clear line of sight in BZ
And there’s a lot more caves

[left nexus]

bz is just caves

[left nexus]

but yh i agree i have barely ever gotten lost in the orignal and the only times i got lost was trying to find the ||thermal plant|| and getting into the ||disease research facility ||

but then on bz the only thing i can do is get lost

[broken badge]

There are some more open areas, but it feels more broken up in terms of the game world (which does make sense, given the map is smaller)
If it was all laid out without being broken up into the biomes, you’d traverse it all very quickly and it wouldn’t feel like there was much “there”
So using cave systems makes sense, in a way
But yeah, it can be very confusing especially for the first time around
The Arctic Spires, no matter how many times I go there, I always get turned around and lost😂
It’s not a cave but the terrain looks so similar, it works along similar principles

[left nexus]

yh the arctic spires i just fly around with 2 prawn suit grappling arms bcs the snowfox is so slow and i always get lost so i might as we l go into a random direction 😭

[main marten]

At least they give you the compass blueprint from the start

[broken badge]

I actually prefer the snowfox, but I’m of a minority opinion in that regard😂

[main marten]

That was one of the first things I crafted (though it only helps a little, since I can't spare the oxygen to look at it)😂

The thing that blow zero could use most is unique landmarks at certain points in each of the caves

[left nexus]

and u can use the aurora as a compas tbh usualy how i find things

[broken badge]

You can also look through the PDA (if you know the trick) to see where the islands are (first time player won’t know, but it comes in handy later)

[left nexus]

another reason is probably the lifepods and signals u can easily use as waypoints to find where specific biomes are

[left nexus]

i always just look for the huge clouds and go there

[broken badge]

Looking through the PDA just makes the clouds more noticeable

[left nexus]

didn't know that

probably still won't use it

[left nexus]

oh god thats obvious

[broken badge]

Yeah😂

[left nexus]

i was expecting it to be psuddle not a massive gass cloud

wait doesn't the aurora also have one of those clouds when u get far enough away

[broken badge]

The aurora just tends to disappear (parts of it stop rendering in) when you get really far away, that I recall

[left nexus]

anyways back to talking bout bz

don't u just love when ur snowfox gets glitched into the ground

[stoic surge]

I found, having Robin look upward while deploying it reduces the occurance of this

[wild rapids]

The solution is to not use the snowfox at all and just use a prawn

[cloud shell]

I just don't use the snowfox..

Prawn suit is much more maneuverable. And takes more hits

[left nexus]

Exqctly

[lilac apex]

I tried so hard to make the snowfox work

Constantly knocked off it by the worms, it or me took immense damage trying to retrieve it. Died more than once

Get into the prawn, they're a minor inconvienience

It feels so backwards

the nimble fast hoverbike can't even outrun them while the slow walker can

i don't know how the damn thing can't outrun the worms, but it just can't

[bold monolith]

The Snowfox is currently bugged with its interaction with the ice worm.

[wild rapids]

My first playthrough i dont even think i took damage from the worm in my prawn

They basically just ignore it

[cloud shell]

When is it ever not bugged..

[bold monolith]

You're right it's something a developer noticed recently.

[cloud shell]

If I'll be honest

The snowfox is just.. kinda..

Useless.

[tranquil meteor]

It really is. There's no reason not to explore the spires area with the prawn suit.

Plus there are massive ion deposits there, so you kinda need it.

[cloud shell]

Yeah

[keen cliff]

I shouldn't have gone too deep into the void ngl

[lapis hinge]

it’s fun isn’t it? Just wheeeee

[sleek hedge]

Can we talk about the shadow leviathans ai

[cloud shell]

One change I hate from SN1 to bz Is that batteries don't magically recharge when crafting something

[lusty turtle]

damn the ||shadow|| leviathan is so camo i cannot see him, any idea?

[runic acorn]

My base after 1-2 hours 😭 its horrible

[halcyon dome]

It’s not that bad lol

I like the green

[runic acorn]

in a dif world ive made a freakin mansion on land so ima retry that

[halcyon dome]

Nah make a base on a lily pad trust

[runic acorn]

nah im scared of that place 😭 im a wimp

i litteraly get jumpscared by the freaking roars of the leviathan's

When im not even close to them-

[lusty turtle]

the whale boys?

[runic acorn]

the whales

[lusty turtle]

or the ones with 4 legs

the 4 legged dudes are actual babies and im a new player

if youre worried about these guys, dont

theyre actually just babies

[runic acorn]

Why do i have this saved?

[orchid fox]

could i get some help on subnatica im kinda stuck

[runic acorn]

Where @orchid fox

[orchid fox]

wym?

[runic acorn]

Like where r you stuck

whatcha need help with

[orchid fox]

i just repared the aurora and idk what to do next

this is my first time playing like iver never beaten it before

[runic acorn]

Er u got into the captain's room yet?

[orchid fox]

no i havent

[runic acorn]

wanna know the code?

[halcyon dome]

Bring a laser cutter

And also go to the prawn bay if you haven’t

[runic acorn]

If you want to know the code it is ||2679||

in there u can get the blueprints for the rocket

[orchid fox]

i dont got none of that btw

im only on day 6

[runic acorn]

And u have repaired the aurora? Nice!

[orchid fox]

thanks if ur not busy could we call and i share my screen and u help me?

[runic acorn]

Maybe

Rn im working on bz

[halcyon dome]

I can do that in 6 hours

[runic acorn]

This is what i meant

@lusty turtle

[lusty turtle]

are they dangerous?

[runic acorn]

You think i'd go near one of those?

[lusty turtle]

for me it's the shrimp guy. ive punched him like 10 times already

[polar cradle]

i love subnautica

[runic acorn]

Also- this

This guy is just horrifying

Like over the roof terrifying

[lusty turtle]

gotta say the seatruck is so useless

[runic acorn]

Fr

[lusty turtle]

esp since we got the ender chest

i just pack that with the items to build a scanner room setup

[runic acorn]

yo islarf if you have beaten Bz rate my pfp from 1/10

[lusty turtle]

and i build em when i go to a new area

[halcyon dome]

Ender chest???

[lusty turtle]

yh theres an ender chest

[halcyon dome]

7/10

[lusty turtle]

sorry if spoiler

[runic acorn]

ty

[lusty turtle]

i got it very early and im also new*

[halcyon dome]

Since when??? I have finished the game 3 times and never found that

[runic acorn]

Me just going in and out of my base waiting for stupid Al-an to give me the next thing to do

[zenith cove]

havent made that yet

[halcyon dome]

Oh that’s what you mean

I just never crafted those

[lusty turtle]

is it NOT an ender chest?

[halcyon dome]

I guess it is lol

[lusty turtle]

so how should i fight mister Shadow the Hedgehog

do i do the well and tested Spiderman Punch. or ||Torpedos||

[halcyon dome]

Just avoid him lol

[lusty turtle]

nah he gotta die

[halcyon dome]

Grapple and drill if you really want to

[lusty turtle]

does drill do damage?

ive been punching things

[halcyon dome]

Yes it does

[lusty turtle]

i grapple onto whalesharks and hold punch

i did just find the ||Torpedo|| wonder if i should try it out on him for first test

[runic acorn]

You see that exosuit up there too right?

[halcyon dome]

Nah get drill arm

Just hold down both fingers and it will die eventually

[halcyon dome]

Yeah lol

[runic acorn]

Ah the funnest thing to bug out

[lusty turtle]

just tried it on a whaleshark

think punching is faster / more damage tbh

[runic acorn]

Im going back to subnautica 1

When was this even possible 😭

out of all my time playing below zero this has never happened

[lusty turtle]

hope im not built in a casual spot

[runic acorn]

For some reason i feel better now

[lusty turtle]

i think when i finsih this and go back to Sub 1 im not gonna use the prawn suit

it's just kindof a vibes ruiner idk

idk if it fits subnautica

[runic acorn]

@halcyon dome i did it!

there goes all my plasteel

Idrk why i didnt do this a minute ago 0_0

Anyways ima log for the day Bye guys

[eternal garnet]

Just hold a flare to scare them off

[halcyon dome]

No way you made that in like an hour lol

[lusty turtle]

ok. all torpedos used. time to punch strat.

that took a bit

i dont have me penguin or any way to take an ingame picture sadly

so that'll just despawn

he did something i didnt think was possible. he did hull damage to my habitat

||aww jeez. theres a SECOND one||

||i hope this thing cannot respawn||

[lusty turtle]

||ok so thats this area done. absolutely no idea where to go next. going here and finding this place was already one of my last straws on "idk what to do now". ill find out tomorrow maybe||

[thorny carbon]

subautica blz

ya

[tranquil meteor]

Luv it!

[lusty turtle]

In the crater with all the sharks

Well there was sharks

Stabbed em all

[tranquil meteor]

By sharks do you mean the little blue yellow ones or the huge red ones?

[quaint junco]

sheeeeshh

[lusty turtle]

That the yellows

[tranquil meteor]

Paydirt! 😁

[quaint junco]

a lotta batteries are gonna be made fr

[open pike]

guys where i can find the parts of the miner arm of the prawn suit

[tranquil meteor]

Koppa Mine

It's by the twisty bridges and thermal vents.

[quaint junco]

the mercury 2 crash site in the giant lillypad biome

[tranquil meteor]

Sorry, Koopa Mine. I made a typo

[quaint junco]

easiest to get imo

[open pike]

thx bro

[quaint junco]

np

[open pike]

i just need go back to my base why i are in the fabricators cave ;-;

[tranquil meteor]

The wreck you're looking for is at the West most part of the lilypad islands. It appears right as the biome transitions to the vent gardens.

[quaint junco]

or from the delta station island, go ish south from the beacon til u see the "thrusters2 of the mercury, then continue going in the direction of the "torn off" side of the wreck and u should see the other part in about 150m give or take

[tranquil meteor]

I play the same way.
Everything i use is ion powered.

[runic acorn]

You think i actually decorated it? All it has is one of those recycle thingys

[lilac apex]

okay so i think i've found a new favorite way to design main rooms in. well, either game now

Three large rooms stacked together

Top and bottom rooms have an alien containment in the middle

Middle room has two alien containments

It looks like this, the fish will swim through all four tanks, you can decorate the bottom three with plants however you like, and it just looks nice in general

it also requires a lot of glass so. yeah.

[split elm]

What is your favorite fish

[sterile violet]

Garyfish

[split elm]

I like the squid shark

[sterile violet]

Oh bruh

[sterile violet]

Sea dragon

What if instead of below zero it was blud zero🤣

[halcyon dome]

Yoo me too! They are by far the best

[lusty turtle]

how do you get rid of the "new beacon" icon. ive gone here twice

[halcyon dome]

Hide it

Idk maybe that will work

[lusty turtle]

very odd i got two of these signals.

right. traced all my steps to my beacons. nothing at any of em. unsure what to do next

but will keep roaming randomly

wait if it's 13 degrees herre, how do we get hypothermia?]

thats warmer than most of the time here in ireland hah

our character is a literal baby

and according to this its colder in the caves

are we just photosensitive?

[lusty turtle]

im still very confused how ||everyone is dead / theres no one else but us two around||

[blissful flicker]

Your shrimp is running at 13° not that the surrounding area is 13°

[steel stream]

It might be mentioned in some of the abandoned pdas, but ||Alterra has evacuated the sites after the explosions in two facilities||

[halcyon dome]

When I first played so did I

It’s a whole amount of lore

After exploring the mercury II read the pda entries to learn about it

[lusty turtle]

is it not a bug? i did those

im at a point where idk what to do and im wandering randomly

[halcyon dome]

I’m pretty sure

[ivory axle]

why is subnautica bz modding community so little bruh

[deep kettle]

There's less people who play BZ compared to SN1, so I guess naturally you see the same with modders. It's not that there aren't any mods though 😛

[loud thicket]

You can get hypothermia even if it is 21 degrees. The water only has to be colder than your body temperature to cause it.

[lusty turtle]

I might have to log the progress points I've done. I'm aimlessly walking around sometimes hitting the deadzone. No idea what the game actually wants me to do.

Not an answer I'm looking for more. Nudges. The game has stopped the ||architect talking. I've found 2/3 of his body. I've cured the ice leviathan. I've killed 2 shadow leviathans. I explored the two mercury halves. Found an occasional unmarked artifact landmark. Went to the woman's Greenhouse and all that||

[tardy shard]

If I remember correctly, you need to swim very close (like right on top) of those beacon placements in BZ to "clear" the notification on them.

[runic acorn]

Im so depressed rn

I had to delete my four hour survival world cuz one of the mods was hacked

[lusty turtle]

right ||did another scout around the greenhouse. nothing there but the eco deadzone||

[runic acorn]

@lusty turtle check subnautica-chat

[steel stream]

If you scan enough artifacts, you get some hints for the ||body caches, but you'll only get beacon for one, the other two are just hints. But when you get close (ish) Al-An gives more hints. You said you cured the frozen leviathan, did you also cross the broken bridge and explore the north area? ||

[lusty turtle]

i did that first. ||it took me HOURS to find the damn leviathan||

like most of my gametime was trying to find it on multiple re-visits

absolutely no hints or advice is kinda weird after i have found multiple unmarked ||artifact sites|| already too

[runic acorn]

hold on how do you cure that leviathan again i forgot

Ima make my base here

[crimson oak]

I don't know what it was but I had 2 sb dreams in one night, the first was where everything was pand and there were big walls all around me and the ice worm was far away, the second dream was where (I forgot the name of the character) was sitting on a throne of snow and fish and leviathans with a dark orange and Grey sky and she got her snow fox and went to land but it felt weird if only there was a machine that produces images of what you think of

It just felt weird and it looked cool I thought it was the second part to below zero when she comes back to the planet

Lol

[runic acorn]

This is my base

[wild rapids]

||only parvan and sam died the rest were evacuated off the planet||

[wooden plover]

||wait, parvan also died? not only sam?||

[wild rapids]

||yeah its mentioned in a few pda messages parvan came in as sam was detonating the bomb and i think he was crushed by some debris or smth like that||

[buoyant saddle]

I have been murked so many times from getting squidsharked, chelicerated, and obliterated.

[runic acorn]

weird lol

[lusty turtle]

i am so mad

day 116. 53 hours.

AND i had my inventory full and didnt get it

welp nevermind. guess ill never get a spiral plant clipping this entire pt

[bold monolith]

Find them in the ventgarden instead.

[lusty turtle]

like how hard this has been to find has ruined a lot of the game

they werent there

this is the first time seeing it. i got my fiber by finding the two in world

im so disappointed with this tbh

[bold monolith]

There weren't inside the ventgarden?

[lusty turtle]

like this is rarer than most videogame things

not inside the greenhouse anyway if thats what you mean

[bold monolith]

That is not what I meant.

The ventgarden is a leviathan that is in Tree Spires.

You can go inside of it.

Here, they aren't rare at all.

[lusty turtle]

UHGH this is a deadend this just goes to the exact same place as the ||Shadow leviathan||

this is the first one ive seen

at like 60 hours. and i couldnt pick it up

[bold monolith]

Just go inside the ventgarden.

[lusty turtle]

well none other here. i gotta leave this area cause apparently im at the other end of the womans pase and ||purple crystals||. i already got the architect piece here.

[bold monolith]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Ventgarden

[lusty turtle]

time to randomly walk around for another 10 hours trying to find a random hole with no hints. this game is being very disappointing

[bold monolith]

That thing.

[lusty turtle]

ive seen those a lot

[bold monolith]

Well, go inside.

[lusty turtle]

i tried going inside but could not

the wall is solid

[bold monolith]

I can assure you that you can go in, by their mouths.

Under it.

[lusty turtle]

that's very disappointing

why would anyone do that

that's such a "google it answer"

not a fan of "google it is the answer" game design

[runic acorn]

@prisma flower

@prisma flower i finished decorating my base finally you wanna see?

First the bedroom

[lusty turtle]

the ending to this game is also becoming a "quit at the finishline" and have to google. i actually cannot find where to go.

[steel stream]

Well, Subnautica games are kind of "exploration is the answer"

[lusty turtle]

i found a place thgat looked like it but he had nothing to say about it

ive gone everywhere on the map that i can know of. got almost all the dialogue that i know of. focused in on the maps too.

[runic acorn]

Nuclear reactor

Cafe

[lusty turtle]

its not exploring anymore

it's "looking for the correct hole to jump into that i haveny already gone into"

[runic acorn]

Random observatory

[lusty turtle]

i only first seen one of the big ones somewhat recently. only ever seen the babies. i couldnt see any "hole" when i went to it on top or the side. thats where i checked and left. i did not even consider going inside it

it's just so random

[bold monolith]

You have to find the adults, the babies are too tiny.

[lusty turtle]

after i looked where i looked i assumed it was just "lore"
and a "thing animals do"

yh this end of the game is being a bit of a letdown tho. ive just spent like the tail 20 hours just walking

hoping to find a hole with 0 leads.

almost as bad as tryna find the ||Frozen leviathan. that took like 5+ hours to find||

ive also beacon'd everything have like 10-15 or smthn already at minimum

i revisted every ||"Architect Artifact"|| 3-5 times to see if i missed a dialog trigger.
i went back to the ||"SOS Distress signal"|| maybe 4 times

[runic acorn]

Parvans bed

ghost leviathan

u can find parvans bed at ||the excavation site||

No its not a mod! thats the best part

Pfft

probably

Control room

I just kinda thought of the frozen creature when i made this

Where should i make my next base?

Look at this wittle doggo

Oo ik ill make a bunker!

You guys know of the horror game "Indigo park" again sounds like a cringe one but its rlly not-

Well indigo park has this crazy good credits song

ive been listening to it for like 2 hours now

[steel stream]

The hint dialogs trigger when you|| scan 3, 5 and 9 artifacts. At 3 you get a beacon to one part. At 5 and 9 Al-An gives a hint, which you can see in your pda log tab. When you get close to these locations Al-An an speaks again that sonething important is near, and the hint can aslo be seen in the pda log tab||

[lusty turtle]

this is what ive scanned so far

[steel stream]

So check the log tab

[lusty turtle]

still only 2

[runic acorn]

Yo Nio

Did Nio get muted?

[lusty turtle]

i got this one right before i found the area with crystals.

[runic acorn]

Alr!

[bold monolith]

I removed it because it has nothing to do with Below Zero.

[steel stream]

That hints to search in area with large crystals

[lusty turtle]

which i did. ||i killed both leviathans there too and got the body part||

[runic acorn]

Yo Nio wanna hear the song ive been listening to?

[lilac apex]

Go deeper into that area

There's more to it past where the part is

[lusty turtle]

i already got that one and i got the ||Fossil Excavator||

[steel stream]

Did you go deep enough to see ||red crystals instead of purple||?

[lusty turtle]

no

no hints at there being anything else there or anywhere else to go

sounds like something hed say?

||"I sense another one near here!"||

i really hate "google it" game design

if atleast the Scanner room could scan for ||"Architect tech"|| id be able to do something

ive built so many scanner rooms.

[runic acorn]

K go to off topic things

[steel stream]

Ok, you should also have this dialogue. Have you seen a broken bridge?@lusty turtle

[lusty turtle]

ive never gotten that. i just went "deeper" than the last part. im kinda mad that both are in the exact same place. ive walked around the entire map for hours

iyh unless i got that RIGHT at the start ive never been told that dialog yuet

[steel stream]

You should have it in your log; it's triggered by scanning 5 artifacts

[lusty turtle]

but idk how thatd help. these are both in the same place

could i have broken it by finding a few artifacts BEFORE i had him with me?

[steel stream]

Not sure how that works. Anyway, have you seen a broken bridge on dry land?

[lusty turtle]

unsure what that would look like

im just going down further from ||"Pilot - Last Known Position"||

i went back there for the 5th time and explore more and found the crystal area. only reason i found this place

really. another one of these losers

right thats him ded. honestly kinda hoping the prawnsuit is not in sub2

[steel stream]

Apparently it won't, because devs have said no returning characters, vehicles or creatures

[lusty turtle]

yh cause being able to just kill these things feels against what they want hah

[steel stream]

And regardless what types of vehicle and equipment there will be, leviathans and maybe also other predators will be unkillable

[lusty turtle]

im so mad

nah i think im out? iive no idea what to do now

nothing to scan here

so apparently ive got the ||"first and third one"||. no idea what to do other than more walking around randomly cause ive not triggered any other dialog

[eternal garnet]

numbers don't tell me much. Are you missing organs? Hint: ||Deep||. Hint 2: ||actual depth to the entrance: 670m||

[lusty turtle]

one of em

[eternal garnet]

see bottom of blueprints

[steel stream]

I think he's missing the one on dry land

[eternal garnet]

if you mean tissues, hint. land, ||very north. North of the bridge||

[lusty turtle]

I already explored there even finding the ||portal|| and thought that was the extent of it. Ran around the area with the ||needle worms ages ago||

[eternal garnet]

mm. North of that. Find the alien cables, follow their north end

[lusty turtle]

wish i could use the Truck honestly but yh its kinda useless. i need the prawn to go deep. getting the fiber has been impossible

[eternal garnet]

weird. truck can go to 1000m

and has the good defense against leviathans

[lusty turtle]

i had only found my first spiral clipping at 60 hours

[eternal garnet]

you only need one, you can plant it

[lusty turtle]

i used the 2 fibers i found in world to do 2 of the upgrades so far

[steel stream]

With the first you can plant and get as many as you want

[lusty turtle]

i only found it by the ||shadow leviathan|| after already having killed 2

idk how anyone is supposed to know you can go into the stupid ||garden bulb things||

that's some "google it is the answer" game design

i went 60 hours using the only 2 fiber i found in world

thats how i made the depth module and my outfit upgrade

made it for the prawn suit and not the truck

so abandoned the truck until like now whewn i might consider upgrading the truck

i actually se2tup a scanner room right beside one of the vent garden. either it wasnt close enough, or scan room cant find the plants

[steel stream]

You can also use recyclotron to get the fibers back, use recyclotron again to get spiral plant clipping and plant it to start a farm

[eternal garnet]

and there's a few spirals outside in the wild, in just one spot

[lusty turtle]

yh those are the 2 i found

by the ||shadow leviathan||. but i couldnt collect it as i broke it with my inventory full

its so disappointing how rare that material is and how they placed it

i wouldnt have any idea its farmable. it ccould be coral for al i know i didnt even know it existed or if my game was bugged

[lusty turtle]

ok so im BACK in this area for the third time across ||the bridge||. do i need ||jump modules||?

id rather know before i have to return for a fourth

[snow glacier]

huhh I just clipped through the delta station island in into one of the caves on the island. I'm trying to redo it to get a clip. Is this a know glitch?

[broken badge]

You need to extend the bridge. Inspect beneath the panel, there’s an object you need to scan
Hint ||it’s a broken capsule like thing, for a type of lubricant||

[lusty turtle]

||ive been all over this area and activated the portal in like my first 15 hours. found nothing else over here||

||one of the very fist thing i did was fix the bridge||

[broken badge]

Oh, I’m sorry, I though you were stuck trying to jump over the bridge

[lusty turtle]

||all the bears over here dead too. found out the stupid needleworm is immortal which is very annoying. and the thumper is useless||

||no ive also found secret ways in and the secret laser in the iceberg||

||i went back to the teleporter but i dont see anything here||

[broken badge]

You should’ve received a hint when you crossed the bridge (check your PDA) from Al-An about what direction to head
He leads you to the Arctic Spires area, where you need to find one of the parts for him

[lusty turtle]

i was all over that plac.e killed all the bears and everything

[broken badge]

Did you ever go into Phi Robotics and scan the cold suit? Do all that?

[lusty turtle]

yh i got the whole suit and the snowfox

i have as canner base outside robotics

[broken badge]

Have you found the bunker too

[wild rapids]

Can you not get the non functional lab equipment like you could in subnautica 1

[lusty turtle]

bunker?

as in where the ||teleporter|| goes to?

[broken badge]

Sadly no, you can’t pick up those items

[lusty turtle]

||ive already cured the leviathan on that side. that took forever||

[wild rapids]

Oh man thats a shame especially when the rest of the base customisation in bz is so much better than the original

[wild rapids]

||Just go in a prawn suit it basically makes you immortal against the worm||

[lusty turtle]

yh but speed

ive walked around this area like 4-5 times already

[wild rapids]

Pretty sure its faster than the snowfox

[lusty turtle]

nevermind the times ive spend looking for the ||frozen one||

[wild rapids]

Do you not have the maps scanned

Or a compass

[broken badge]

The one in Arctic Spires connects to Phi Robotics

[lusty turtle]

||somehow i found a "different" ice spikes area. no idea how i got here||

i got two maps scanned.

[wild rapids]

Thats not possible theres only one arctic spires

Its just very big

[lusty turtle]

nah theres definitely two

theres a smaller area than this one. with a frozen waterfall at the back

[broken badge]

It’s another location you can explore (and should) from the Phi Robotics area

[eternal garnet]

keep finding the alien cables, follow their north end, down a hole

[wild rapids]

||the architect component is in the northeast of the arctic spires you can use a compass and the map to guide you there ideally in a prawn suit||

[eternal garnet]

Alan will speak up here

[lusty turtle]

literally was almost impossible to find this place. i went around a whole differrent area that had two spikes

was rng i got here. idk how i did cause it was night

[wild rapids]

Its pretty easy to find unless you play with your eyes closed

[lusty turtle]

i got here WITH my eyes closed

it was a necessary step apparently

[wild rapids]

Also if you're struggling to find spiral plants have you tried looking in the deep purple vents

[lusty turtle]

yh that was literally a "google it" solution

there was no finding those. and i never did until i found the one by the ||Shadow leviathan|| and complained here

[wild rapids]

I found plenty in the deep purple vents i never even went to the ventgarden

Then i planted them

[lusty turtle]

rly i had to jump this? i found this to be the "way out"

this is the spire area ive been in the entire time.

[eternal garnet]

no, that's an exit only

[lusty turtle]

there is two of em

[eternal garnet]

found the thing where the cables go down?

[lusty turtle]

i dont know how i found the second spire area

i would not be able to tell you how to get back there.

it was luck and RNG

this has been uber infuriating

atleast i never have to go back there or to the ||frozen leviathan||

i would not be able to.

||im expectring a very unsatisfactory ending after this. im just disappointed with HOW MUCH TIME ive put into my base and area.. and it ended with a wild goose chase of nothing||

[thick flume]

Ok idk if I’m actually dumb or not, but I don’t understand why when your out the water your temperature starts going down, but when your in the water it regulates, like I know when your all wet and your out the water, it all starts freezing on you and such, but like wouldn’t the water still be like deadass cold

[eternal garnet]

the air is colder than the sea. Salt water will never get colder than -2 C

[thick flume]

I learn something new everyday, I actually did not know that

[eternal garnet]

if it did, it would become ice

[thick flume]

Ok makes sense, 😭

[broken badge]

Also you’re probably wearing a dive suit that uses some sort of temperature regulation based on water and your movement (since you’ll also freeze if you stop moving underwater)

Even now we have different types of suits for divers to protect against the cold underwater
Wetsuits and drysuits

[tranquil meteor]

Same reason Jill doesn't get infected when she's bitten by a zombie. It makes no sense, but the gameplay functions better because of it.

[thick flume]

Fair enough

[cedar seal]

guys which outcrop gives gold im new

[tranquil meteor]

CarcinogenSDA has a wonderful Resident Evil 3 video where he plays the original game with Kazohiro Aoyoma. The director literally said the same thing I did about zombie bites.

[tranquil meteor]

Sandstone

Sorry, Calaverite

[cedar seal]

thanks 😎

[tall scroll]

Oh my goodness I can grab rock grubs.

I'm going to make an alien containment unit just to fill it with them.

[eternal garnet]

and then turn off the lights with the control room

[tall scroll]

OH MY FOR REAL

Best idea. I didn't think of that.

[tranquil meteor]

@tall scroll You only need two

Smaller organisms procreate in alien containment units

With enough patience, two will become fifty thousand.

There's a limit to how many can be in there, but you can release a whole bunch wherever you want and as long as you leave at least two in the unit, more will spawn.

It helps so build a multipurpose room tower and have a stack of four or five alien containment units. That way more can be made.

[frail otter]

Still tho, minus 2 is very cold

For water. Even 20c is cold

[tranquil meteor]

Not as cold as my heart when I found out how many plants you can grow in BZ.

[keen cliff]

The fact that this base has 48K power going into it but can only fit 9750

[tall scroll]

I'm aware of that, I collected about 4, I'm going to make them multiply and have a natural green glowing room.

[tranquil meteor]

Playing Subnautica to exploit beauty is the best way to play.

[lusty turtle]

oh. hope i didnt softlock my game

i need ||root pustules||. i know i used some of these in my bioreactor....

[surreal minnow]

[lusty turtle]

why is "Hope" under >Indigenous Lifeforms >Fauna>Other

[wild rapids]

Theres a lot of them you probably didnt softlock

You only need to save 2

[tranquil meteor]

Just one sea monkey cave has more than you will ever need for three playthroughs. You're fine 🙂

[tranquil meteor]

There are well over a hundred in the game.

[lusty turtle]

weell lifepod, lastknownpilotlocation, and my base dont seem to have any unfort

and the area between phi

[near lichen]

unless you spent a long time cleaning them out there should be plenty left directly under the emergency supply cache

[lusty turtle]

finally got some!

time to leave these guys

[keen cliff]

I have a ||whale|| that for some reason the game let me drop in the ||Leviathan site|| so its just there now

[keen cliff]

It hasn't died for some reason.

[lusty turtle]

Question ||what's the second facility btw? I only know of the one by the pilot / red flower area. I think they also rammed that one with a truck right?||

||and I'm unsure if I got closure on her death. Some of the pdas got s bit too in the middle of nowhere and I was not exploring that ice anymore. It felt like murder at the end but not revealed.||

[broken badge]

Omega, yes

Was the one that was rammed

[broken badge]

Then you missed an area, because you do get closure.
I missed the whole thing the first time, and the game (regrettably) doesn’t require you to “finish” Sam’s story, even though that’s why you initially go to the planet in the first place

[lusty turtle]

||I learned about the cave collapse and cured the leviathan. But it felt fishy||

Just ||finding a "collapsed cave of ice" would be impossible for me.||

[broken badge]

You have to go to a different location, accessible from around Phi Robotics, where you find another more open-ish area with frost acacia trees (the pink and green frost covered trees)

[broken badge]

Oh so you found it. You should know what happened

[lusty turtle]

It took me like 10 hours to find the ||frozen leviathan|| anyway

I know if the collapse, but idk if it was an accident or not.

[broken badge]

There is a PDA near the entrance to that cave by a forklift with a pda that’s hard to spot, that gives some additional info

[lusty turtle]

Yh I think I got that suggests accident

But it feels like there should be another

[broken badge]

Well she wasn’t suicidal, there wasn’t anything to suggest that. Poor planning and execution of that plan

[lusty turtle]

I mean just unsure if murder or not yk

And the need for evacuation felt odd

Why just leave everything behind so fast

It just kinda felt like they wanted a Subnautica x Fallout 76

[broken badge]

I mean, blasting in an ice cave, when you’re not a structural engineer, yeah bad idea
||Whose murder? Parvan? He was an accidental mortality
Sam accidentally killed herself in the cave-in
Alterra wasn’t knowledgeable until after the fact that I’m aware||

[lusty turtle]

||no. If the cave in wasn't an accident.||

||they aren't gonna log their admittance in a pda||

[broken badge]

Sam planted the charges
But she didn’t expect Parvan to be there (you hear her telling him not to follow her)
And she wasn’t expecting to die (imo), I just don’t believe that
But people go into discussions about how Maida filled her head with notions to get more suspicious and therefore violent in her response to Alterra (make what you want of that)

[south quartz]

i was trying to get to margurites greenhouse base but i followed east-souteast and i ended up in the void'

from the delta station

[fathom arch]

made a compass.. any idea where it went?

it briefly showed it in upper right hand corner in the menu, i tried moving it, and vanished..

[waxen verge]

do i need to spoiler things regarding out of bounds stuff? like weird terrain

[foggy river]

What are the chances of getting a steam key for this game by asking very nicely? I have it on my switch, but I wanna play on my laptop, since the switch version isn't as stable

[sterile violet]

Its against the rulew

Subnauticas on sale rn

[foggy river]

Which one

Hmm 33% off on a game I already own. Man I wish if you owned a game, you owned it on every platform. Although I guess companies just don't care about that

[pliant pagoda]

money

[foggy river]

Unfortunately

[frozen edge]

where were those red orbs at

[cloud furnace]

Don’t die on me chat

[frozen edge]

what

[cloud furnace]

This was sent over 2 hrs ago

[frozen edge]

i have too much resources

what do i do

[foggy river]

Oh boy random ping at 1 in the morning

[frozen edge]

is 300 m too deep for a solar panel

i dont want to make an overly big resource base storage

can the prawn protect me from the cold

[halcyon dome]

Yeah

What biome are you in

[stoic surge]

Bioreactor FTW

[frozen edge]

Near the inactive volcano

Theres too many resources to take in one trip

[halcyon dome]

Use thermal plant thingies

[frozen edge]

I’m missing one fragment

[frozen edge]

i visited crystal caves and im shaking

[gilded ridge]

Someone here Right Now? I need some help, I softlocked myself I think

I died while parking my See Train thing. Then everything glitched out and there was no water outside the base anymore. I walked on everything like there was no water, didn't loose oxygen, etc. Then I removed that glitched by entering and leaving a Base (when entering the base I got the animation to leave the base, so the game thinked I'm in a base). But now I cant get my Train out of its Dock, I cant acess it and I cant deconstruct. And also its stuck in this wierd position

[frozen edge]

sea truck

[gilded ridge]

Yea Sorry

any Idea to fix it?

[bold coral]

Have you tried exiting and entering the game again?

[gilded ridge]

Yes, didn't work

same with the Life Reset

[bold monolith]

Grab your save, global-objects.bin and drag and drop it here.

We'll see what we can do.

[gilded ridge]

1sec

There you go. Thank you very Much!

[bold monolith]

Remind me which upgrades you had?

[gilded ridge]

Just Deep 1 and this atack thing

That makes like the shock

[bold monolith]

It's fine if you lost the color?

I can find it again but...

[gilded ridge]

Yea, I can just redo it

Thats no problem

Same with name

[gilded ridge]

Thank you very much, you saved me xD

[bold monolith]

It was a bit of a pain. I don't really know why it wasn't docked. Maybe just a property missing.

It was children of the prefab though.

[gilded ridge]

Yea, It was wierd

[bold monolith]

That looks normal.

[gilded ridge]

The door of the dock was also like when not docked

[bold monolith]

So I got rid of the Seatruck and spawned another one.

[gilded ridge]

But it was like very wierd also with the water dissapearing and stuff xD

[gilded ridge]

same location?

[bold monolith]

It's docked.

[gilded ridge]

Okay nice

[bold monolith]

I didn't set back the name and color.

This file isn't where the cheat flag is serialized so you're good on that side.

If you didn't use any command, you should be able to get the achievements remaining.

[gilded ridge]

I dont know how to use commands xD I just opend the console with F1 once to look at my coords

its my first real Subnautica Zero run

[bold monolith]

The water disappearing isn't a big problem. The unstuck button should solve those cases.

[gilded ridge]

Restart didn't help but unstuck could have helped. I just build a Base and entered it

[bold monolith]

The game considers you're swimming when you're below 0 on the Y axis but since there are exceptions (caves, bases), there is something that overrides it.

[gilded ridge]

Yea, I think it was the base because I died in the docking of the Truck and there was the leaving animation when I entered the base

[waxen verge]

has anyone found this odd crack out in the ||tundra void||? it goes for a long time with no change and then eventually spits you out in the ||water void||

its right at water level but the walls go really high up

[gilded ridge]

@bold monolith It works, thanks again!

[next current]

Just a thought, but that could be leftover empty space from the removal of Hoverzone 3.

[waxen verge]

i havent heard of that, but sounds plausible

one side of it is just the out of bounds ice, but the side that isnt ice is a huge rectangle of the sand at the bottom of the crack. the sand part is on the edge of the land map

weird seeing what looks like regular old land from subnautica in below zero

[open pike]

Wth happen with my prawn loool

[dry granite]

Nah the sea you soon joke is w

[wispy briar]

it happens on Subnautica too. It happened to me 2 times to i know how to fix it. Just enter a base/veichle and it fixes itself. The bug mostly happen if your base is floded but a compartment what has a entry point, seperated whit a bulk head then after you close the bulk head you bug outside the base and the bug happens

[wispy briar]

come here. I wont hurt ya

[open pike]

no thx

[cedar seal]

which outcrop gives lead

[frozen edge]

Subnautica works offline right

[wooden plover]

its supoust to be a "safe place" here?

ahmm, why its my prawn just walking in mid water??

even when i go inside and can literal walk in it

[lyric wharf]

how many ||modules|| can connect to the ||seatruck||? (no spoilers other than the answer please)

[echo trail]

Infinite but 6 unique ones

[lyric wharf]

oooh nice, I was hoping for that first part 😂

[lyric wharf]

is there a way to ||extend the seatruck docking bay||?

[weak marten]

No

[lyric wharf]

sad

will creatures attack it if it's sticking out?

[steel stream]

Creatures don't attack unpiloted vehicles, so that would be no

[lyric wharf]

great

[river apex]

game is so bad even the fish dont wanna stay

😭

[wooden plover]

he looks soo happy XD

he enjoys it XD

[wet iron]

that's an impressive amount of storage

i Just spent 10h playing today
