below-zero-chat

[near sage]

why did they just copy and paste the crashfish info into below zero without removing the mention of stasis rifle

[steel shoal]

The Stasis Rifle was removed later, and changing descriptions take a lot of time and resources. That's why the Squidshark still has the old description, even though it's not accurate.

Subnautica is available in many languages

[near sage]

ah

wait was squidshark changed at all in development?

is this thing really herbivorous

Me when I run into a fish to get it put into my sub’s aquarium and it dies but still gets added

[steel shoal]

It was wrongly in the leviathan's tab. It was moved out, that's all.

[near sage]

ah

and they kept the fact it's called a leviathan

also a lot of the flora tabs are just

lacking

[steel shoal]

It was designed as a carnivore ray, but people pointed out SN1 mentioned all rays being herbivores, so their behavior was changed.

[near sage]

ah

I mean, in sn1, it could have been based on what species were known

[steel shoal]

It was the section people were the least interested in and they needed to save resources, I suppose

[near sage]

and herbivores can become carnivores

[steel shoal]

The rays are a 99% match with the ones from 1000 years ago, and they were the rays studied by the Architects, which included the Sector Zero ones. Two thirds (of all fish, not just rays) went extinct, but the ones we see have the same features - poisonous flesh and herbivore diet

[near sage]

ah

so essentially what we see is subnautica as it is recovering

[steel shoal]

Yeah

[near sage]

from a giant mass extinction comparable to those seen on earth

the only reason animals survived is because of enzyme 42

and whatever the hell is in sector 0

I find it very interesting that no leviathans other than the frozen leviathan can get infected

[steel shoal]

Since it has peepers with side orifices, it's likely Sector Zero is somehow connected to the PCF

[steel shoal]

It's mostly a gameplay thing. In the lore, all leviathans in SN1 are infected.

[near sage]

?

[steel shoal]

It says every creature is infected

The blisters appear on the most severe cases, though

Leviathans can't get further infected because otherwise, Warpers would slowly kill them

[near sage]

ah

[near sage]

also weren't jellyfish called eye jellies before

wait no they are still

[sly birch]

Yall how do I get ice worms to show up in creative? (I'm on nintendo so I can't use consle commands)

[steel stream]

They should still attack snow stalkers in the area

[left nexus]

yeah they do

i was on acreative save once and i almost got a heart attack from that

[vestal gorge]

How do I get to Marguerits greenhouse?

[steel shoal]

You need to disable the communications tower

[indigo gulch]

Then you go East from Delta Island where the icebergs are

You should see some crates and lightsticks on the iceberg and you know you are right

[stoic surge]

If you go near at night, you might see some light-sticks around the shore

[opal flicker]

So I remember a dev said they added some stuff for speedrunners in the games

and I was watching a SBZ Speedrun, and near the very start to the right theres an ore vein with gold and silver etc
was that placed for speedrunner purposes

[bold monolith]

I don't recall anything being added for the sole purpose of speedrunners.

[halcyon dome]

I think that was made just for those resources early on

Not particularly for speed runners

But very useful for them

[opal flicker]

one of the devs, obraxis I think, confirmed it

[orchid rune]

I have all the materials for a very good base, can you recommend a place with good views?

[ruby anchor]

whoo wanna play multi player wit me

[deep kettle]

You could argue the speedrunner branch, but game wise I feel like they removed more by fixing bugs then adding stuff that helps speedrunners 😅

[steel shoal]

There was an update that fixed several bugs speed runners used at the time, which is why they left the previous version available. But they never added speed runner-specific features.

[steel shoal]

Deep Lilypads is really pretty. Twisty Bridges is too.

[blissful flicker]

||to beat the game I just have to repair Al-an right? I’ve gone to both of margeurits bases I plan to go back to the first one to scan stuff but other than those two things I can’t think of anything||

[steel shoal]

||You only need to build him a vessel and return to Outpost Zero.||

[blissful flicker]

Ok that what I thought

Ty

[near sage]

me when the player gets stretched lol

[steel stream]

Technically you can even skip ||marguerit altogether||, as well as ||finding out what happened to Sam, which was the reason you came to the planet in the first place...||

[orchid rune]

Thank you very much since I have like 1000 Bugs games

And This world still standing

At the end of the 5 minute game I found myself in a giant titanium mine

Currently I literally have to build a Citrac just for the Teodé storage cars because it doesn't fit on the base I have.

It's about 22 storage cars.

Currently, after waiting for tomorrow's border, I hope this number goes down and I can recover the time I have lost by improving the storage .

Please these messages for the staff please add more storage in the vehicle type just like you did in the first game that yes prac itself can carry objects or if not in the base when

[near sage]

why is the void chelicerate weaker than the normal one

[eternal garnet]

is it? Anyway, it respawns, so there's always 3 on you

[orchid rune]

Focus on the fact that if you go towards point zero, there is a gap that takes you to the other side of the wall.

[near sage]

it deals less damage

like

against vehicles it does half the damage of a normal chelicerate

[orchid rune]

There's a hole in a wall where you can go through the map and cook your base on the other side of the world where it's huge there's a lot of water but nothing pretty to see

Please unknown worlds fix that part on the map

[steel shoal]

Try turning all titanium into ingots, as you can turn them back to ores in your base

[marsh echo]

what are all the leviathans i forget

[umbral garnet]

chelicerate, shadow and ice worm

[broken badge]

Glow whales

[umbral garnet]

oh yeah

[broken badge]

Vent gardens too I think

[eternal garnet]

and frozen guy

yes

[polar mango]

should i wait for the game to go on a bigger sale or should i just buy it

[broken badge]

The PDA includes the squidshark but I think we don’t count them

[umbral garnet]

squid sharks are leviathan class predators but arent technically leviathans

yeah

[eternal garnet]

bigger sale than summer sale? erm

[polar mango]

the other two summer sales it went to 9.89

i was hoping it would do that agaim

[eternal garnet]

buy it, play it before SN2 releases

[umbral garnet]

yeah 50% off is hella good

[polar mango]

alr ill get it

[umbral garnet]

honestly i would get it

[polar mango]

thanks guys

[umbral garnet]

👍

[eternal garnet]

note, the game is different. But good. No cyclops. You are not alone. You speak

[umbral garnet]

lol pretty much

[tacit comet]

Peekaboo!

[unique needle]

Vro look like he just holdin on and chilling on the ledge

[tacit comet]

Yeah she just wanted to stop by an say hi

asked how my day was going

[near sage]

why did they make ice worms teleport instead of actually burrow

[cloud shell]

Because that would be a dumb idea and impractical from a development view?

[near sage]

It was like that in early access though

It actually burrowed back then

[cloud shell]

It may have contributed too heavily to lag, that's my guess

[near sage]

Probably

[blissful flicker]

What a silly boy

[lilac apex]

makes more sense than spending all the time and effort animating something the player isn't going to see... because they're underground

[near sage]

I mean no need to animate it just give it ai for it

[steel shoal]

The Ice Worm has no AI

[steel shoal]

What do you mean by "actually burrowed"?

The Ice Worm shows up, performs an action, and then burrows. It's all animated. There is no specific Ice Worm, but rather a puppet, that performs these animations when the game finds appropriate

I haven't seen it teleport as you say, could that be caused by lag?

The Ice Worm has a burrow attack, where it peeks out, lunges its head forward, and only after a bit starts burrowing. It also has some attacks that are just jumping out of the ice, and then burrowing again. At the end of the swipes or Stalker attacks, it'll point its head upwards and descend back underground. There are some other attacks, like when it continuously peeks out the tip of its horn near you, following you in caves too, but the worm always burrows back underground

[tacit comet]

A big part about developing games is minimizing the stress on a device or storage while providing the best experience. The Ice Worm has no need to have pathing, AI, or other resources, it simply spawns in on a trigger, performs an animation, then retreats and despawns. Adding more would be unnecessary and wouldn't contribute much to the experience.

[silent torrent]

You know i did not notice that until now. But I wanted support and saw subnautica chat and did it anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯. well it’s almost at 5,000 supporters and it’s a staff pick. That just means staff members saw it and liked pinning it to the websites starting page.

[calm gale]

I bought BZ!!

[opal flicker]

this made me laugh

[tacit comet]

haha thanks!

It frankly started me, then i started cracking up haha

[opal flicker]

Im ranking all SBZ tracks

So Far
Ice Floes is the best banger

Oh
by the way

To Encourage Subnauticas least run Speedrun Category
I am compiling a document for Big Rig%

A Speedrun consistent of the fastest time to make a seatruck with ALL Modules

All Information that isnt a route is finished

@steel shoal would it be ok if I posted a textwall full off speedrun info

[broken badge]

Why, just why? Aren’t there sites for speedrun info

I’m pretty sure there are

[opal flicker]

Noones ever run it before, so im tryna encourage people

[cloud shell]

Surely there's a forum for that?

Or a speedrun server..?

[opal flicker]

🤷

[bold monolith]

You should add the txt extension.

At least Discord will know what to do with them.

looking for people to play below zero

[grand osprey]

How do I get in here?

[cobalt holly]

Hi

[steel stream]

Clear the path with propulsion cannon

[grand osprey]

the prawn suit can fit in here?

[steel stream]

No idea, never tried...I meant the handheld version

[grand osprey]

oh I didn't know there was one in below zero

where is the blueprint for that?

[keen adder]

i found them in the sea monkey nests

[grand osprey]

ty

[keen adder]

np

BTW I'm starting to play Below zero after finally finishing the og and i got jumped by a modified prawn suit

It sounded a lot like Maida from the degasi, could it be her?

[steel stream]

Keep playing and find out...

[keen adder]

Probably the best answer

[unreal patio]

Swim

[grand osprey]

There’s a swimming hole in there as well?

[unreal patio]

Sarcasm

[celest mountain]

use unstuck

[weak marten]

no you need a propulsion cannon

[fallen anvil]

let me just get the arifact bro

(i didnt realize my battery)

[devout kindle]

After playing the original, Below Zero feels much shorter and smaller. Be prepared to spend hours searching the same area (if you don't want to use a guide) for three certain endgame materials

I just beat Below Zero a few hours ago after picking it up from the steam summer sale

[unreal patio]

Is there a prawn suit jump upgrade like the first game

[devout kindle]

There is a jump jets upgrade, you can actually find a premade one somewhere

[unreal patio]

I need to find it dude

I hate pretty much just having a third slot open

(The upgrade I’m referring to is the thermal charging one

So useless fr

[devout kindle]

its alright in like one particular biome

[unreal patio]

Thermal spires?

[devout kindle]

yeah

[unreal patio]

Cause other than that there’s no where useful

[devout kindle]

doesnt it work in purple vents?

[unreal patio]

Probably

But like it charges so fast in moon pool it feels pointless

[devout kindle]

i think that the koppa site has jump jets upgrade

its the symbol that kinda looks like a bubble wand

[tribal kayak]

honestly i see a lot of hate but I quite enjoy the smaller game

the story is mid sure but the smaller map is quite fun

definitely not as scary as the original

[patent rapids]

Side of truck I think

[unique needle]

Look at it from the top with some light

[patent rapids]

I'm gonna be honest I'm on my phone rn so that pic is a little dark

@flat hearth yeah it's like original but cold and arguably worse

[flat hearth]

ok thanks

[short yarrow]

Out of curiosity, what about it is worse

[broken badge]

BZ is amazing
If you’re expecting it to be exactly like Subnautica, it’s not
But still, great game experience

Sure a few things in the story don’t quite make sense
But I mean, the things about the game that aren’t so great, are quite forgivable

[patent rapids]

Everyone has their own feelings about it. I think BZ lost a lot of the wonder and suspense that sn1 managed to capture so well. I also think the original bz storyline had more promise than what actually came to be.

[whole coral]

it is also much more land based than the original game with a lot of tight caves even in the water

[patent rapids]

💯 which is something I personally didn't appreciate. I didn't like the movement up and out of the water, to such a degree.

[whole coral]

fair, prolly not a good idea to dog it in it's own chat tho LMAO

[patent rapids]

I'm not dogging. They asked a question. Those are just my personal feelings. I still play it. To me the original just did a better job of capturing fear and suspense. If you evaluate bz as a stand alone game then the scale becomes entirely different.

[whole coral]

fair

[short yarrow]

I havent played it yet and have mostly just watched other youtubers play, and honestly i don't really have much to say other than the map seems "smaller" or more limited, idk if thats true but yeah

[whole coral]

it is smaller and a lot of the map is narrow caves even under the water

[patent rapids]

That was quick you had that on deck

[broken badge]

It is smaller, but they did pack a decent amount in I feel like. Considering it started out as a planned DLC

[short yarrow]

Instant reply lol, but thanks

[whole coral]

lmao i was DM'ing toast in depth a bit more and happened to have it copied

there is only one change of below zero that extremely irks me though

||Riley went through hell to cure himself but in sector 0 it is just mixing two random plants together||

[short yarrow]

Yeah it has lots of areas to explore despite it being smaller, I'm honestly a huge fan of the basebuilding in BZ lol

[whole coral]

like that severely annoyed me, like ||what do you mean even the precusors didn't think to do that||

[broken badge]

I mean, it’s really kind of an afterthought in BZ though. But I do understand the point of view somewhat

[whole coral]

no ye it is but ||they could have mentioned enzyme 42 as a cure they found naturally rather than ignoring both the cure from the first game and the severity of kharaa||

[fervent cypress]

Is there anything in this game that has to (annoyingly) be made with the Vehicle Upgrade Station?

[broken badge]

Not that I recall

[fervent cypress]

Thank you

I didn’t realize connecting my airpods could erase an hour of progress

Airpods and Windows 11 are so not compatible it isn’t even funny anymore

It’s so bad my PC isn’t turning off after pressing the power button

[eternal garnet]

you should save more than that

aldo, i'd look for a firmware update

[tribal kayak]

honestly....... its not but in a good way

1stly its way less buggy (in my opinion)
2ndly the map is way more consumable for a casual player

[fervent cypress]

If you judge a Below Zero by its ability to be Subnautica then it will live its whole life being underrated

[tribal kayak]

the only thing I wish it had more of was the "big scary"

Tbh i played sub zero before subnautica

So that wonder i had with sub zero

i still prefer the original though

but i think its genuinely a great game still

[fervent cypress]

I'm actually at the point where I've played SN so much I like BZ more

[tribal kayak]

Unironically I like that bz is smaller its allowed for me to replay it more than sn

ive only replayed sn fully like 3 times

awhile bz like around 10 now

[fervent cypress]

Swapped for me 😭

In my current BZ playthrough I'm making an effort to only use the sea truck

[tribal kayak]

well also

[fervent cypress]

Only things in a base are my charger and modification

I segment and a dock

[tribal kayak]

bz has a way better multiplayer mod

which is pretty nice

[fervent cypress]

My friends are all sellouts so I've never tried either

[tribal kayak]

Youve got to try it

its unironically so good I forgot I was playing with a mod

i played 100% through bz multiplayer with 2 other people

with little to no issues

looking for people to play bz

[finite palm]

Is BZ good? I mean I completed it on switch and disliked it solely bc I bought it on switch and it looked horrible so I wanna know if it’s worth it on xbox

[weak marten]

it defiantly is. The story, base building and much more is great

[lusty pulsar]

how many modules can I attach to a seatruck?

[bold monolith]

As many as you want. But you'll be slow really quickly.

[fervent cypress]

How many extra does the horsepower upgrade allow without slowing?

[bold monolith]

Check meatie's graph.

[lusty pulsar]

is there anything deeper than the ||crystal caves||? (other than ||the void|| ofc)

[bold monolith]

Yes.

[lusty pulsar]

ok ty

oh yeah seems like I just found soumething

ok and anything deeper than the ||architect organs facility||?
because ||AL-AN|| said that there is something deeper when I was leaving, but I didn't see any way to go deeper so idk if I'm blind or the game glitched out

[bold monolith]

950 meters is the deepest in-bounds.

[lusty pulsar]

ok

[lusty pulsar]

will the ||shadow leviathan|| attack the seatruck if it's left unattended?

[eternal garnet]

Nope

[lusty pulsar]

oh ok that's nice

[steel stream]

Not in this chat for sure...

[heady urchin]

Oh sorry

i tought im in #subnautica-chat

[proven spoke]

hey guys

i build a home,Seatruck

and i have alan in my head

[blazing nimbus]

That's about where I'm at too

I may though have been spending unreasonably long on building my base

[dusky sparrow]

below zero is goated

idc what everyone says it was so fun

especially that one place with the opera like theme song 👀

[umbral garnet]

i like the base building additions

and al an is w

[shell quail]

fr

Something that I dont really like is that I finished subnautica below zero so easily it feels and I havent even finished the "base" game 😭

[tranquil meteor]

Below Zero is terrific for people who love to build everywhere and interact with everything. If you like to vibe and hang out in that world, then it's a perfect game. But yea, the campaign is very short.

I think it's extremely satisfying and am nowhere near done experimenting with it.

I'm currently hatching as many sea monkeys as possible to see how much free stuff you can get from them.

[umbral garnet]

lol i have like 22 hrs on base subnautica since i bought it like 2 weeks ago but the reapers are hella scary so i keep procrastinating abt going to the aurora so i just bought below zero and started playing that

[cloud shell]

Did alterra ever go back to the aurora wreck?

[steel stream]

We don't know

[cloud shell]

You'd think they would

[hasty fulcrum]

according to several PDA's they at least Know it crashed and where

it's reasonable to assume they would at least send a few teams to investigate or recover any remaining important stuff

[umbral garnet]

cool

[grand osprey]

L bozo

[peak perch]

while I enjoyed playing a bunch of hours and beating BZ, I know that there was a decent amount of players who weren't surprised compared to Subnautica.... and with this new leadership... I wonder which road that will lead to, based on the experience they have developing a game with different genre

[whole coral]

yeah and ontop of it the map is like 60% caves and severely land based

[left nexus]

true

[blissful garnet]

Why is lead so hard to get a lot of in this game

[cloud shell]

Because it has no big deposits.

And it's not a very common outcrop

[unique needle]

and its used a lot

[rustic belfry]

Is BZ worth getting?

[blissful garnet]

Somehow when I bought a PS4 disc of BZ I saw I could download SN1 for free. Idk how that works, I’m positive I never purchased it

[unique needle]

if you enjoy the lore yeah, if you enjoy subnautica yeah i personally really enjoy it and think its a great game

[barren cedar]

Can anyone help with this? I have oxygen depletion turned off in options, but I still die from lack of oxygen.

[whole coral]

it's fun but do know it is very different

[hasty fulcrum]

anybody else get HK-47 vibes from ||AL-AN|| with how much he talks about how human bodies are inefficient

[carmine tiger]

yo i just bought below zero can someone help me

[gloomy jewel]

what u need help with

[opal flicker]

I think I nailed why BZ felt so sparse
its the lack of proper usage of empty spacing and failing to make populated spaces feel populated
Like The Dunes, giant empty aquatic area, at least 80m before you actually reach the ground which is populated by grass and varying sands
even the sparse reef feels so alive because of how, sparse everything is, the lighting lends to it as well, you feel like you're floating in a void
BZ is always too shallow, I think the best they ever got at populating an area was the lillypads, but some areas are just... rocks, theres no vegetation along the sea floor

[tired rock]

yeah, but i felt like bz was meant to feel sparse since its the cold part of the world afterall.

[flat hearth]

should i get below zero? what are the main differences

[eternal garnet]

It's not quite the same feeling, but it's more beautiful.
You aren't alone. You speak. No cyclops

[opal flicker]

Smaller Map
New Vehicles
More Forefront Story
More Ice Based Environments

No Seamoth/Cyclops
Land Sections

[flat hearth]

i cant live without a seamoth and cyclops

[opal flicker]

But we got the seatruck

No Johnny Cash Though, so its unrealistic of trucking

[broken badge]

Seatruck is actually better, it’s modular, and can do a lot of great things

[flat hearth]

maybe

[broken badge]

It took a bit of getting used to, but I soon learned how much more useful it could be vs seamoth (and I love seamoth too)

Cyclops, it just wouldn’t work with the map size and design

[steel stream]

Cabin alone is almost like seamoth, and with modules it can have fabricator, storage space, bed and carry prawn around like cyclops.

[celest mountain]

i have 400+ hours on switch and 51 hpurs on steam, do you think im cooked

behind the island

[void mica]

Currently building one in the Whale n Squidshark biome

[queen ridge]

close to mercury

Still havent finished the game entirely, so dunno where that is lul.

[queen ridge]

it is near that biome

[void mica]

Oh i see

Near the chelicerate there? I saw a lot of ice there

[fallow locust]

So I was playing and the world randomly decided to stop loading correctly, so I saved and it has now been saving for the past 30 minutes while where ever I might be is very slowly loading in around me

[void mica]

Oh noes, that doesnt sound good

"Press f8 for bug reports" 🗣️

I believe it was f8, not sure though

[fallow locust]

It won't even open the window. Blocked by "saving game... please wait..."

[void mica]

Alt f4 and begin from scratch 🫠

[bold monolith]

If it slowly loads around you wait.

It might succeed saving once you're done loading the world.

[fallow locust]

I think I ended up at part of the koppa mining site and it took 15 minuttes for the rails to load in

Ended up killing the process. 4 Hours of work gone 😔

[eternal garnet]

please save far more often

[queen ridge]

Noo

i save like every 10 - 15 min

[fallow locust]

Real. I should've I got to into the game

I'll have the motivation to play again in a month or os 😭

||I always go down past margurites base||

That's the easiest enterance to me.

And you want to go to the crystal caves..?

That's a late game area..

Have you gone to delta station?

You should have the pilots last known location then.

Go there.

It's down in a cave..

You have to go down.

There's a cave network. That signal is only a rough indicator. A general direction.

No

That's a different area

It's not straight down. In a small little trench area near the signal there's a cave going into the side of the rock face

It's a big cave, pretty much impossible to miss.

It's there. You've just gotta keep looking

[steel stream]

Light sticks are in both games

[spice spire]

oh

[keen meadow]

reaper leviathan discovers light sticks

[crude copper]

So

[granite wedge]

I started...well, not a marathon, but watching a guy named TheLtColonel on his no commentary 17+ hours of both Sn1 and Bz, apiece, stoked a burning desire to revisit these games.

I am currently racking up hour after hr on Below Zero. In keeping with my personal play style, I haven't gone to the wiki or some other resource that would inform me of whatever before I inevitably discover for myself.

My issue is, this game, without information, inevitably means that the learning curve gets a LOT more steep. I'm having a hard time just finding basic minerals necessary to progress, such as what's needed for the Scanner Hud Chip, as your personal progress in the game(s) suffers when you cannot simply go and find things, and depth module for the Truck, thereby propelling into the mid-game or .

This is not a plea for info, as I can get that online. I was merely wondering if anyone had any idears or suggestions other than basic exploring, at risk to the predators and the limits of your air (i just started sporting a third hiigh-capacity tank).

thx 👍

[sleek mason]

a third high capacity tank? surely that's overkill. i'm a noob at bz but don't you have a vehicle?

[granite wedge]

The truck. Current depth is a whopping 150 meters. Im working on putting together the resources to craft my first depth module

[granite wedge]

I like exploring. The third tank is emergency use/get your butt back to base

[queen ridge]

Normal day in subnatica

[whole coral]

is there a mod that brings back old vehicles?

[steel stream]

You can spawn a seamoth with commands

[whole coral]

yeah but is there any mods that let me do it without commands

cuz the seatruck is a bad vehicle

[steel stream]

The cabin alone is not very different to seamoth🤷‍♂️

[queen ridge]

true

[unborn lake]

You get used to it. The problem isn't the vehicle but some maps, it really shows how the vehicle was designed before certain biomes, and those biomes didn't take into account your main vehicle

And from what I remember, I had way more problems with energy management with the truck than with Subnautica 1 ones

I only wished the truck had better utility

It always felt like a worse cyclops

[broken badge]

It’s not, you just have to learn to take advantage of it

[lilac apex]

I mean, the cyclops is way too big for a lot of the areas you want a cyclops in, too

The seatruck has the benefit that you can detache modules if you're getting stuck, turning one long vehicle into several short ones

[unborn lake]

I know it's just... It should be equal in utility terms since we are locked into using it

Has advantages (Faster, can reach smaller spaces), yes, but I felt like I really didn't have a choice regarding utility modules

Plus it's not self sufficient

[craggy belfry]

Does anyone know where the organs for Alan are

[wanton hound]

should i get below zero

[tight oriole]

Ye good game

[unborn lake]

It's a solid game and I really enjoyed it. The first game is still magical but I liked below zero setting a lot

[left swallow]

seatruck enjoyers rise up

I love being an underwater trucker

[hollow nebula]

Why i cant use My PS4 controller on Pc to play the game?

[shadow delta]

Are you launching in big screen mode?

[fervent cypress]

“Fabricator Module” should’ve definitely had upgrades to include the modification station or some other similar features

Not being self sufficient was my biggest problem with the sea truck

[brisk pasture]

Is below zero a reference to re zero

[unborn lake]

Having to resupply constantly was a problem yes, also having to go back to recharge the batteries etc

The map is not that big, but the truck could have used extra upgrades (Maybe solar panels, a greenhouse module etc)

[unborn lake]

I think it refers to the low temperatures in game

[fervent cypress]

No the developers would never reference a mid tier anime

[frozen edge]

hi

[brisk pasture]

Subnautica below zero better anyway

[next current]

Well the Seatruck was originally planned to have a Planter Module that allowed you to grow plants in.

And when the Seatruck was first introduced to the game, it had its own Energy Efficiency upgrade.

Both were cut.

[grand haven]

cut like you would do to trim those plants

[lapis lotus]

How do i open this door?

[tardy shard]

||It will open once you have had more interaction with the owner of that seabase if I remember correctly.||

[brisk pasture]

Just open it

[lapis lotus]

I cant

I kinda rushed it a bit

[brisk pasture]

Blow it uppppp!!!!!

[lapis lotus]

Im so far down without a depth module

And the wiki says that i need to play the story before the door opens

i gotta go up again :§

[brisk pasture]

I can’t even play subnautica yet bc I need to wait until tomorrow for it to come to moblie

I don’t have a pc or nun

[last rain]

Hello when will it come

Any idea

[brisk pasture]

wym

like the time?

[last rain]

Yeah

[brisk pasture]

Idk it wasn’t confirmed

[last rain]

8th July is confirmed

[brisk pasture]

most likely 1pm to 5mp

[last rain]

But time isnt

[brisk pasture]

Pm*

I got it tho

[last rain]

Yeah In android too

Pre registration done

[brisk pasture]

yeah I’m not sure what time

[last rain]

Let's see

[brisk pasture]

I’m guessing in the afternoon

[last rain]

They should make a new channel for mobile version

[brisk pasture]

Ye

[late maple]

guys why does @scarlet oriole never respond to my dm 😭 lol

[nocturne magnet]

the bot is broken

[deep kettle]

The bug bot is broken right now yeah 😦

[nocturne magnet]

do you know as to when its going to be fixed?

[late maple]

fr i want a bug fixed its really annoying in playthroughs

[echo trail]

Which one?

[deep kettle]

I don't know yet, you're talking to the person who made it. I've talked with a dev about it but things kinda got in between.

[late maple]

like which game?

[echo trail]

What bug?

[late maple]

or whats the bug

[deep kettle]

In all fairness they are working on Subnautica 2 right now. I wouldn't expect any fixes/updates soon.

[late maple]

true

[nocturne magnet]

i would assume they would work on it when they finish sn2 ea

[echo trail]

They'll be working on subnautica 2 throughout ea, it would be after full release

[late maple]

its when you go onto land in bz and when you are carrying two beacons one of the beacons says dropped beacon on land and the other is 50m under the ice

[nocturne magnet]

That was supposed to be more of a low expectation

full release is more likely

[echo trail]

We might get something with the phone release tho? I'm not at all related to that tho

[carmine bobcat]

The penglings are so cute omgggggggggggg

I want one

[jade flame]

You can kidnap them

[carmine bobcat]

Noooooooo that's evil

[jade flame]

Nahh, temporary repositioning of penguin child.

[carmine bobcat]

Nooooooooooo that's kidnapping

[jade flame]

Hmm....

[eternal garnet]

if you do kidnap, run away from the angry adult

[ember turtle]

Been grinding a bit, but I think I'm ready to bite into this story properly. This is my blind playthrough, and I've just finished disabling some communications equipment, which prompted an invitation from a really hot old lady to a date on dry land.

I just want to know if I'm actually prepared for that, so here's where I stand advancement-wise:

1 Depth Mk1, Drill, Grapple, dbl storage, jump jet Prawn.
1 Depth Mk2, afterburner Seatruck w/ teleporter, storage, & Prawn holder.
3 bases; 1 in the deep part of the coral bridge area; 1 next to the crash at the edge of the purple geyser area; 1 down in the roots under the lily pad area, right over the entrance to a place that has flowers which share physiological qualities with certain aspects of female human anatomy.

Then my resource accumulation so far looks like this:

That's not all of it ofc, just the juicy stuff lol

Anyways I guess what I really wanna know is whether things are as they feel and my regular Subnautica skills are transferring phenomenally to Below Zero, or if I'm about to have a rude awakening. I don't wanna know what kind! Just if it's there lol

[lilac apex]

they're animals they wont notice. They lose penglings all the time, getting picked off by predators

I do think that there's eggs that'll spawn... somewhere, if you don't want to just take a few kids home with you

[eternal garnet]

haha. For the date, you need very little. it's above water. Bring home: two different reddish fruit to plant

And then investigate food recipes

[lilac apex]

You've vastly overprepared

She's given you directions from the tower you disabled, follow them pretty much exactly, sailing along the surface

The meet up/date is more finishing up her story and a reward for doing so before the game gently pushes you back towards the main story

There's also nothing particularly dangerous between you and where she wants you to go

[ember turtle]

Okay, so then this isn't the part where I dodge ice snakes and get my cheeks handed to me. Good to know ^^ High key I can swim around any leviathan but I'm scared for when I have to face those guys. W/out a sword or my dark souls dodge idk what I'ma do for getting around big bois on land 😬

[ember turtle]

I think I've been to the area already then lol, just before I took the tower out XD

[eternal garnet]

well, the greenhouse should be open

[ember turtle]

I do have lantern trees and fever peppers researched, but if it's not those then I'm looking forward to moar palants!

[lilac apex]

Those guys are also not a big deal

Bring your prawn and they're barely an annoyance, although they sure do love to eat snowfoxes so be careful if you want to bring that to ice worm territory

[eternal garnet]

that's one of 2. The other is small

[lilac apex]

yes, it is completely backwards to how dealing with ice worms should be

it is a very dumb design decision that i will never defend

[ember turtle]

See I was thinking the snow fox would be the only way to keep away from them. If I can get around them in a prawn without destroying it I'ma be set lol

[ember turtle]

Oh, I bet I missed it while I was there. Good thing I've got a reason to go back XD

[eternal garnet]

well, it's inside

[ember turtle]

Maybe I found the lantern trees somewhere else then idk XS

[ember turtle]

Autistic question here, but why do u have two role tags for play testers except one has a "." ??

[eternal garnet]

just some discord limitation

[ember turtle]

Ah. Autism be satisfied w/ that lol

[lilac apex]

They can barely hurt the prawn and it has a lot of ways of getting away from them when they do emerge near it

I have never successfully gotten a snowfox away from an ice worm, and any attempt to use it in their turf has resulted in more problems than it's solved

There is an upgrade you can build to make it aggro them less, supposedly... but that upgrade is deep in iceworm territory anyway so, lol. lmao

You can use the snowfox for the other half of the big land snow biome, though. Perfectly fine there

Easier than trying to navigate a prawn through all those tunnels and ladders, in fact

[ember turtle]

I see. I haven't even fully unlocked the snow fox recipe, so it's gonna be prawn all the way for a bit anyways lol

[lilac apex]

Marquerite has a piece in her base, and the rest should be found near phi robotics

Recommend setting a second land base up on that chunk of land so you have somewhere to recharge/dock the snowfox

[ember turtle]

It'd be my fourth but yeah I've seen a few land bases here and was wondering what that's about

[lilac apex]

on my playthroughs i tend to have a single water main base, and a land base outpost- Usually near phi, although the docks kind of between the land biomes I've found is kind of a better spot

There's a lot to explore/do up there, so having somewhere to operate out of on the surface can be handy

... also land bases don't have to deal with structural integrity so, that's a plus for creativity

[ember turtle]

Interesting, that will be fun to mess around w/ then. My main base is in the deep part of the coral bridges, but I've got a fairly decent outpost near the Mercury half that's in the purple geysers, right on the edge of the biome with the vent gardens and chili creates. It serves as the scanner and fabrications facility to most of my prawn mining operations.

Then I have a small outpost deep in the lily roots, above the entrance to that biome with the big white flowers

[tall hollow]

I've always just used the prawn I've never even made a snowfox

[undone field]

Should i buy below zero many ppl said it has annoying caves since i have motion sickness i gotta know if i should or not

[dusky sparrow]

yeah, I had so much fun playing the game

dont listen to what people say and experience stuff for yourself, go into the game blind

[prisma quarry]

its like an expension with a load of lore drops

i bought subnautica bz before subnautica and i had no idea what i was doing lol

[vague sinew]

Where should I base this time? Beaten this game several times and I always end up basing near the lifepod. For my current playthrough im changing that completely, and gonna take my time with the story and game as well. Current plans are lilypad islands

[dusky sparrow]

brooo its a really good zone, I recommend making a base around the larger ||mercury II|| debri, it's a cool looking spot

[vague sinew]

Yea i'm pretty close to that. But my only issue is that's a place i'd go maybe 2-3 times in total, so i'll base inbetween that and || the entrance to the deep lilypad caves ||

[dusky sparrow]

I remember watching 8bitryan for both games, he never completed below zero so I decided I'm gonna buy it and see it for myself

[vague sinew]

Subnautica is my favorite game of all time (released lmao... my favorite unreleased is star citizen)
I have 2k+ hours on it

[dusky sparrow]

oooh the entrance that leads to ||crystal caves and marguerit||?

[vague sinew]

Nah, You're talking about the deep purple vents

What i'm talking about is roughly in the middle of the lilypad islands

[dusky sparrow]

there's a separate entrance from there, it leads in through the other side

[vague sinew]

Oh yea I know that, there are lots of entrances into the lilypad caves lol
to specify, I meant the large island in the middle of the biome which leads directly down to the deep lilypad caves

[dusky sparrow]

I might be confusing some of the areas but I feel like I remember after going through ||marguerits base|| you can continue in some path and reach ||the crystal caves||

[vague sinew]

Nope, the only entrance is through the || deep purple vents ||
(i believe)

[dusky sparrow]

ooooooooooooooh that one yeeeah I remember it, with the pooping plants 😂

the first time I saw those huge plants I tried going inside several times

[tall hollow]

This is correct

[ember turtle]

I just started playing but if the ||crystal caves are that place around 500meters down with the big purple crystal formations,|| then I've found entrances from the ||deep purple geyser cave|| and the path behind the ||hot old lady's base.||

The baby that lives down there is such a dude lol

Very mouth on his mouth

[undone field]

Oooh ok

[upbeat temple]

It was released early on iOS and we're not sure why. It was supposed to release at the same time everywhere today during a scheduled launch.

[halcyon rune]

how do I get crystalline sulfur bro I need a late game resource from Subnautica to make a repair tool in below zero

[bold monolith]

In BZ it isn't a late game resource at all.

[halcyon rune]

What biome

[bold monolith]

I made it.

https://ignis.errorfm.com/subnautica_map/?game=bz

[bold monolith]

Yellow is Purple Vents.

[manic wraith]

When were below zero on mobile

[edgy socket]

Hopefully they’re working on it now! Having both the OG and BZ on iPad would be epic!

[manic wraith]

Wait, is that real they working on it ?

[edgy socket]

I have no idea, but it would be pretty amazing!

[steel shoal]

The SN1 port was mostly made by Playdigious, as part of a collaboration. If SN1 mobile is a success, they might try BZ too, keywords being "might try".

[short temple]

nhbhygyg

[glacial gorge]

Wrong chanell buddy

[visual tendon]

christs sake stop it with the mobile announcements. nobody cares

[ember turtle]

But as far as motion sickness goes, and to answer your original question, as long as you aren't gaming 2 feet away from an 84" curved screen, exploring the caves isn't terribly disorienting. The only thing I will warn you about is the underwater vehicle that does not walk along the seabed. When you get in it, your perspective is no longer grounded to the horizon, and can now go fully vertical before a gyroscopic self-righting mechanic kicks in.

[undone field]

Ohhh thats why people get annoyed by it?

[ember turtle]

I mean it was the wrong channel in this instance but like, we gonna dis on people being excited for accessibility? Doesn't feel chill.

[undone field]

Thats bad like i would rather use seamoth lol

[ember turtle]

Seamoth handles similarly. Same ability to invert, same gyroscopic feel

[undone field]

Hmm i havent played below zero yet

[visual tendon]

i meant the official announcement. Im here for subnautica 2 haha, every couple weeks theres one notification of an announcenent and its never actually Subnautica 2 but that mobile game

[feral coyote]

mobile players care lol

[ember turtle]

I'm talking about Sub1 seamoth. BZ only has it in commands

[undone field]

Ohh ok thx for it ima buy below zero then btw is there any physical copy for below zero available or only on steam?

[ember turtle]

That's cool and all, but like what r u doing w/ it in the BZ chat?

[ember turtle]

No idea for PC, I'm on PS4 and playing digital

But there is physical formats for PS, XBOX, and Switch

[undone field]

Ohh ok ima by digital copy for it

[ember turtle]

Hell yeah, have fun and get out of here v4 u spoil smthn!

[carmine bobcat]

finna try below zero is there anything i have to do in sn1 for storyline or smth

[feral coyote]

wdym?
have you beaten sn1?

[carmine bobcat]

yes, 3 times now

is there like some kind of pda logs or anything that gets continued in bz? i know about marguerit but anything other than that

[feral coyote]

depends
the degasi lore technically gets expanded on, but its basically rewritten from how sn1 explained it
overall no, if youve beaten the game youre fine

[carmine bobcat]

alright then, i'll just play it before i get stormed y spoilers

[ember turtle]

Good idea. Play the first one again too, couldn't hurt ^^

[carmine bobcat]

i just beat it for the third time yesterday

it's pretty fun and doesn't feel repeating idk why

[ember turtle]

Perfect time to start a new run at it then!

[carmine bobcat]

yeah, i saw the sector zero mass while in the rocket and the map seems huge

[ember turtle]

It is one of those that just doesn't stay old even if it gets stale lol

[carmine bobcat]

like twice the crater of sn1

[ember turtle]

It do be bigger I think

[feral coyote]

pretty sure that isnt confirmed to be the bz location
i mean it very obviously is but still

[feral coyote]

...no, its about 60-80% the size of the sn1 map

[carmine bobcat]

woah

[ember turtle]

Oh dang, lil map

[carmine bobcat]

it's probably just an arctic mass

i also saw some islands

like big ones bigger than the aurora

[ember turtle]

There do be a number of islands, is p neat

I'm spoiling absolutely nothing for myself but I am hoping SN2 has some big islands in a climate we haven't explored yet. Large temperate landmass + 4546B's crazy evolutionary tendencies? I'd love to see it

[feral coyote]

erm
i wont spoil but like
im mostly not spoiling since i dont want to be the one that has to tell you that lmao

[carmine bobcat]

isnt sn2 on a different planet

[feral coyote]

...and thats what i didnt want to say

[carmine bobcat]

i mean it ain't a big spoiler at all

it's good to know that the game isn't like just a reskin of sn1

and you can expect fresh new stuff

[keen saddle]

can yall join voice chat

[serene robin]

Below zero is already out correct?

[hollow hawk]

Is the ||place where you meet Maida in her prawn suit|| right next to the void? I tried jumping down to follow her and saw dark, empty water

[eternal garnet]

No. it's down a long branching tunnel

To go there, first get depth MK1

[hollow hawk]

I don’t even have any vehicles yet

[eternal garnet]

You first meet her on the island tho

Jumpscare!

[hollow hawk]

Yeah

[eternal garnet]

very literally

[hollow hawk]

Lmao my bad autocorrect

Am I supposed to have vehicles by the time I get to the island?

[eternal garnet]

That's about the time. Lots of truck fragments around the dock there

[hollow hawk]

Oh I didn’t even notice lol

[eternal garnet]

but you also need the MVB (bay)

[hollow hawk]

Where do I find the fragments for it

[fading panther]

Mobile vehicle bay bay?

[eternal garnet]

yes hte mobile mobile vehicle vehicle bay bay

fragments in the sand or monkey nests, twisty bridges slightly deeper part

[hollow hawk]

Alright thanks

I think I already have it

[robust basin]

The vehicle Bay was alot harder to get in below i think

[eternal holly]

After getting PK8, what do I have to do, to get a signal for the next?

[honest nest]

need assistance, how do i finish below zero? i found where you build Al-AN’s body but cant find the other stuff to scan

[eternal garnet]

Check bottom of blueprints. Which parts are missing?
One is ||deep, very deep.
||One is on ||land, the land in the west, north end beyond the bridge||

and one has a beacon. Easy

[honest nest]

alright! i have the skeleton i think and i need the other two, ill look when i can play again

thanks!

[eternal garnet]

my clues are vague. Could tell more

[vague sinew]

Controversial opinion: The seatruck is better than the cyclops

[echo trail]

I don't see why we should have to choose, I love them both

[lilac apex]

Your bestest buddy will give you clues about the other part locations as you find alien artifacts, either on your own or through the beacons he marks for you

[honest nest]

see, i’m hoping for subnautica 2 all vehicles and new ones are present, because both the cyclops and seatruck are handy in they’re own ways

example, the cyclops is basically a mobile base. but the seatruck is nimble and smaller while still being relatively as handy as the cyclops

[icy stump]

Ammer Z

[carmine bobcat]

The ||shadow|| made my soul leave my body

I honestly think it's scarier than the Reapers

[vernal palm]

when’s below zero coming to mobile?

[halcyon dome]

Not for a while I’d assume

Plus it would be better to play it on another device anyway

[keen saddle]

can yall join voice chat

[fervent cypress]

Maybe not ever, BZ is a bit more taxing but they could probably make it work

[keen saddle]

hi

[cloud shell]

As far as we know. No.

[eternal garnet]

it's not much more taxing. If SN mobile is a hit, it becomes likely

[vernal palm]

is that good or bad

[cloud shell]

It probably won't happen

[vernal palm]

Ok

[spice spire]

im moving to bz guys good luck

[cloud shell]

Have funs

[lilac apex]

it's like a bobbit worm

[past moon]

Hello

[low coral]

Honestly done like 2024 I hear that we'll get a early access to sub 2

[untold crane]

I said something was happening and something is

[low coral]

In 2025 but noooo 😭😭😭😭

2026 crazy

[tough flame]

F bruh F

[low coral]

Its so dumb

[untold crane]

I remember all these guys saying no changes, sure, those guys gotta stop defending

[low coral]

Like it was almost ready apparently

[tough flame]

batsubmarine

[low coral]

They to busy making it sub 1 mobile

😭😭😭

Preach

[tough flame]

It was 2 minutes long and they realized what they did and had to increase it, then it goes to 10

[low coral]

I'm not buying it anymore

[echo walrus]

Just dont buy the game expecting it to be good, last mistake you'll make

[low coral]

F them

Nah

I'll just replay below and sub 1

[echo walrus]

I mean. I think it could still be good. I just think it's unlikely

[low coral]

Waste of a year

[echo walrus]

So I'll see for myself, not paying them beforehand ofc

[low coral]

I waited since it was first announced

[echo walrus]

I aint waiting for it... Im not that engaged with hype

Man, it's so sad that below zero 2 would actually be one of the better outcomes here

[low coral]

It was gonna be good the first announcement

[low coral]

I wouldn't mind that

[echo walrus]

I wasnt a fan of below zero

[low coral]

I prefer below over sub 1

[echo walrus]

Wtf

[low coral]

Sub 1 was okay

Like good

[marble obsidian]

Its the narration that you like?

[echo walrus]

1 was lightning in a bottle

Below zero was meh, with some downgrades

[low coral]

Yeah and the land and the build locations

[echo walrus]

Bro playing subnautica for the land... Aint no way

[void mica]

Subnautica 2 chat getting flooded right now. Currently hiding here. Whats the convo about?

[low coral]

Its not the same

[echo walrus]

Krafton sucks

[void mica]

I meant in this chat, not the sub 2 chat

[marble obsidian]

okay thats fair I guess

[low coral]

Like the land was nice, but the under water base building locations mwah

[echo walrus]

Worst thing about bz is the lack of deep open spaces. And the fugin pda voice

[marble obsidian]

Yeah with the first game I'd always feel a bit naked with my base building

[low coral]

Yeah

[marble obsidian]

as in its always in open areas

Yeah no thats fair

[void mica]

Ngl im currently first time playing below zero, im about halfway through the game. Really isnt as bad as people told me it was

[echo walrus]

Have you played 1?

[void mica]

Yeah

[marble obsidian]

Yeah I don't know what the hates all about

[void mica]

Multiple times

[still hatch]

Yeah its cool

[void mica]

I grinded 1

[low coral]

It had deep places the lava place was a good spot

Nice base location

[echo walrus]

Grinding an exploration game

[low coral]

I did 😉

[void mica]

Lmao i just mean i went theough it many times

[low coral]

I even fell through the map

[echo walrus]

Idk, all i know by now is you cant trust any game studio

[low coral]

Tbh true

[void mica]

I guess so yeah

[echo walrus]

Always wait 4 reviews

[low coral]

BG3

[void mica]

I still have faith in Subnautica 2 and i feel like its gonna be a really good game

Anyways, back to below zero

[low coral]

Fav

[echo walrus]

Does anyone like the bz pda

[void mica]

Where did you build your base?

[low coral]

Yeah

[echo walrus]

Ok im with crazy ppl...

[low coral]

30 seconds of oxygen remaining

[void mica]

I feel like it has an "indian" accent sometimes, which is funny, but imo it feels too.....alive. Its weird.

[echo walrus]

I dont like the voice, but the bigger issue is the degradation of writing quality

Even for pda voice lines

[low coral]

Hull Damaged

😂

[void mica]

Yeah im with you on that one

How did yall think of the seatruck?

[low coral]

It was nice

[void mica]

I personally thought its really awesome. Getting to add modules n stuff

[low coral]

The fish tank for live food

[void mica]

Yeah

[low coral]

It was buggy the fish tank module

Like the fish outside would end up in it

[void mica]

Dunno, havent played much with it

[low coral]

I 100% it

Loved it

[void mica]

The fish tank module?

[low coral]

Yeah

The prawn suit has a module bug too

[void mica]

Oh really?

[low coral]

I always recommend removing then

Before you log

[void mica]

Interesting

[low coral]

I have had it delete all the mods over 3 times

At least

Like I save and leave once it completed the save then hop on the next day and no mods in the prawn and can't add mods either

Have to like leave and restart game then could readd mods

[low coral]

You becareful

[void mica]

Oh thats weird

[meager burrow]

what do I do with creature eggs?

[low coral]

Hatch them

[void mica]

Find and scan alien containment tank and hatch them in there

[low coral]

If you find a little Golden egg

Bio fuel

okay

[meager burrow]

can you stop

[cloud shell]

Cut it out bro

[pale plover]

dude subnautica 2 is fine, STOP

i swear yall need to chill out, the new ceo will do just fine

[cloud shell]

We should ask mods to delete it everytime someone sends it

[trim helm]

Keep licking the boots of corpos do it more

[verbal osprey]

we should ask them to mute/warn or even ban people since most who join today are alts promoting this

[cloud shell]

That petition will literally do NOTHING in the long run.

[verbal osprey]

ikr

[pale plover]

keep licking the boots of the doomer team do it more

[cloud shell]

Nothing. He just exists rn

[slate stratus]

I think the next content we get with Al-An and Robin should be a comic.

Just something to think about

[bitter mist]

@chilly cove it was on the contract, according to the reporter. https://bsky.app/profile/jasonschreier.bsky.social/post/3ltkfdr437s2m

Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier.bsky.social)

BREAKING: Krafton has delayed the highly anticipated game Subnautica 2 to 2026, potentially costing the development team a $250 million bonus.

The studio's leadership had wanted to release the game this year but were ousted by Krafton last week.

A wild story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

-# Krafton Delays ‘Subnautica 2’ Game Ahead of $250 Million Payout
The South Korean publisher announced last week that the CEO and founders of ‘Subnautica’ studio Unknown Worlds were departing, but didn’t say why

[chilly cove]

Oof, that's a little worrying

[cloud shell]

dont post that here either.

[bitter mist]

My bad for informing people. Should have left the billion dollar company alone.

[cloud shell]

People already know.

and any sources we have either havnt been confirmed as true, or are unreliable.

[bitter mist]

he didn't lol, why do you think I posted it

[cloud shell]

he could look in subnautica 2 chat.

where its been told countless times

[bitter mist]

how is Jason unreliable

[cloud shell]

i wasnt refering to him

[faint crystal]

technically the original subnautica 1 pda voice was AI since they use a TTS voice for it

[copper wren]

That's amazing

Way more realistic than using a VA for it

[faint crystal]

i believe the bases/vehicles were also from a TTS and in the vehicles case is supposed to be an on board AI

[cloud shell]

I don't mind tts voices

Infact I loved the pda from sn1

[buoyant ocean]

I liked both voices

Subnautica 1 PDA was way funnier though, but I suppose BZ has ||Alan||

[carmine bobcat]

TTS voices are good for fictional robots

[livid oar]

Greetings

[carmine bobcat]

Hi

Is it just me having played the first game before and getting experience with it or is Below Zero shorter than the first game

The map does seem smaller

I think it does some things better than the original game and some things worse

Shadow Leviathan is terrifying, way scarier than Reapers and Sea Dragons imo

I think it's due to the tight and compacted environment it's in

[ripe jay]

all the actual devs will remain right

if yes then IDGAF about some executive bums leaving lol

game be ite

[dense lantern]

Make then door physical then I’m happy

[unkempt blaze]

Can someone please help me? I can't scan the X3J artifact. I've been floating around it but to no avail.

[small ember]

What are the chances that Below Zero also gets a mobile port in the future?

[quasi quarry]

Pretty high, considering we got one for the first game.. might take a while tho since uhh this backlash from krafton is really getting people mad

I’m pretty sure tho that SN BZ is gonna get it for sure

[gentle stag]

hey guys

[carmine bobcat]

Did you try leaving and rejoining?

[small ember]

I have played the mobile version for about 1.5 hours now and have to say it feels amazing on my iPhone 16 Pro.

I don't play with the touch controls but with a Backbone Controller which gets rid of all the UI for the touch controls. The game runs smooth except if you inflate this one tool to get up fast to the surface. Thats the only thing it has problems with so far.

I just find it insane that you really can play AA and AAA games on your mobile device these days.

My guess is that there will defiantly be a Port for below Zero when the mobile version sold well.

And after Below Zero hopefully for Subnautica 2 as well

[unkempt blaze]

yes

[carmine bobcat]

Have you checked to see if it’s already scanned in your PDA

[unkempt blaze]

Lol okay I found it in the PDA. It's strange that the scan itself didn't happen.

[fallow cargo]

hello there's someone from poland?

[blissful flicker]

Which is safer ||z13|| or ||pk8|| to get to from lily pad islands

[raven flume]

What?

[pallid kiln]

I haven’t touched bz in a hot minute but I got || pk8 || earlier in game in all my playthroughs so I’d get that one

[blissful flicker]

Ty caz

[pallid kiln]

Just be careful. This is ur only warning

[raven flume]

I haven’t played in a year or so… pk8?

[blissful flicker]

Why [shivers in my timbers]

[pallid kiln]

Shrimp

I think shrimp around there

[blissful flicker]

Oh shrimp don’t scare me Walmart reapers, and the shadows scare me

Ok so there was a Walmart reaper but I don’t think it saw me

[cloud shell]

So, 30 minutes into my save right, i already have Al-an. MY FIRST INTERRACTION with a sea monkey, and its just giving my stuff right off the bat

[jovial stone]

How long do you think before Below Zero gets ported to mobile phones as well? Lol

[modern socket]

Probably not for a while, if ever. I could see them possibly doing it a year or two down the line, maybe like 6 months before Subnautica 2's big 1.0 release.

[blissful flicker]

Peak

Why does nobody talk about spicy fruit salad it’s literally the best food in the game

[broken badge]

People do talk about it
Unfortunately you can’t use it in freedom, which I think was kind of a sucky decision. We still could use the heat value in freedom even if we don’t need the food😭

But I think it had to do with the categories of things, maybe not so much a “decision” per se

Still, would’ve been nice to use it for the heat

[quasi quarry]

You can bind your controller?

That’s actually pretty cool if you can

[small ember]

Not sure if every controller can. I use the Backbone controller that is specifically made for mobile devices

[quasi quarry]

I see

[blissful flicker]

Ah I’ve never seen anyone talk about it

But ya best food takes up one spot, doesn’t go bad, is easy to make, give 85 food 30 water and 100?! Body temp it’s literally goated

[ionic igloo]

Does anyone know what to do with the depleted nuclear rods or are they just trash? I grabbed them from the mercury and dunno what to do with them

[bold monolith]

You need the nuclear waste disposal to get rid of them.

They aren't useful.

[ionic igloo]

ah, welp good thing that I have one then

[shell jay]

I just finished bz last night

I actually liked it alot more than I expected to but it was very frustrating at times

[lilac apex]

They mostly exist purely to be a storage/disposal issue

but then you also have the nuclear waste disposal at the same time to delete them for free so like. what's the point

i guess technically they're different scannables but you find the disposals in the same places you find the reactors

[cloud shell]

please be quiet, nobody wants your negativity thanks <3

[worn wedge]

Just finished Below Zero for the first time this morning. Such a purdy game. Special THANK YOU to whoever added the adjustable enemy controls. I def adjusted them throughout the game.

[noble warren]

I can’t wait for subby 2 so im gonna play below zero 😄

[pallid vortex]

is there a way to turn off build limitations with commands in bz, like just let my building clip through things

[blissful flicker]

I’ve never seen one of those whale things open its mouth (one chased me out of the lily pad biome and opened its mouth that lowk scared me )

[buoyant oar]

is there a way to turn off the voice acting but not the pda

[tall gazelle]

what do i need to build a snowfox?

like, do i need a mobile vehicle bay or idk

[cloud shell]

Dont

Just don't. Use a prawn suit instead.

[blissful flicker]

This

All you ever need is a seatruck + 1 of each attachments, prawn, docking bay, and moon pool that’s the minimum

[noble warren]

i forget exactly but you build a landing pad on land, thats what builds it

[steel stream]

You need to scan the hoverpad and craft that. It doesn't need a power source

[carmine bobcat]

"ooo kyanite I wonder if there's any more of that down here."
the 300ft long glowing snake about to eat me alive;

[livid oar]

Why do u swim so slowwwwwww

[eternal yoke]

craft fins vro

or scan the seaglide fragments theyre usually on the border between the kelp forests and safe shallows

[steel stream]

Twisty bridges and arctic kelp forest for seaglide fragments...

[carmine bobcat]

Make fins and get a seaglide. I'm also pretty sure the swim speed is the same as in the og subnautica

[spark pelican]

How long did it take? I bought both games recently and im still playing sn1

[shell jay]

my bz playthrough was 20 hoursand sn1 was 48

[spark pelican]

Oh, i thought bz was longer than sn lol

Aight ty

[shell jay]

its quite a bit shorter and the map is smaller but i think it was fun

[wanton hound]

Below zero is so cool

[cloud shell]

Nope! My first blind playthrough took 12 hours for bz 💔

[void ocean]

ah yes, the blood kelp, and grand reef, how could I forger

[spark pelican]

Oh DANG

I already have 10h in sn

[cloud shell]

yeahh bz is alot shorter imo

and the progression is wayyy more direct

[blissful flicker]

Yet I am way more confused on what to do next compared to when I played Subnautica 1 😭 (I may just be incompetent)

Before I beat the game I do want to have a maxed out (to my liking) prawn and seatruck, and a nice base

I’ve started on the base I just don’t have enough materials so I gotta figure out how materials I need, and my prawn is to my liking but my seatruck still needs a ||tp module||

[cloud shell]

go deep and away from pod. thats it

[carmine bobcat]

bz is so different

it's completely a whole new game

i mean it is

[manic owl]

the game does not deserve all the hate. its so beautiful

[wispy frigate]

so where can i lodge a formal complaint about not being able to finish BZ on the switch because the software is not fit for purpose?

[blissful flicker]

Wait can you actually not or is it just obnoxious because I’m playing on switch

[wispy frigate]

the further i get in, the more persistent the crashes have become

mainly on save

[blissful flicker]

Yeah sometimes I’ll save because it’s been a while and right before it starts it crashes if sucks but what are you gonna do

[wispy frigate]

well considering that i just paid $30 for it, i'm either going to try to get a key for a platform that works or get my money back because i got ripped off

i would assume krafton is handling support now so i'm looking for info there

but considering there hasn't been a patch for a few years now i'll have to conclude that krafton is selling a broken product and look into the ethical implications of that

[fair sonnet]

Below Zero chat, hello

[humble birch]

Damn that sucks i got mine in PC
