[tight goblet]

Atleast unlike apple who randomly charges you for random things

[turbid dock]

true

[tight goblet]

atleast some of the soundtracks (i like some) aren't as trash as the one recommended in apple music💀

[cloud shell]

Only person I've actually seen have thalassophobia is butch

[tight goblet]

Yeah i haven't met alot of people who are actually scared because of the game

[cloud shell]

Watch ButchX3 on YouTube. Actuall person with ACTUAL thalasophobia

[grim drum]

Yo guys i just started playing below zero any tips that are really usefull? below-zero-info has eh.. not so good info

[eternal garnet]

Save often. Explore everything. This game is about exploration. Sea monkeys may annoy you a lot; just hide your tool (E) or at least switch away seaglide. Bring a beacon everywhere. New beacon feature: if you have one and die, it will rename and drop.
The air bladder is really good. Pin recipes you plan to make.
Have fun

[grim drum]

Thanks a lot!

[distant light]

can i stream to someone and can someone help me get back on track with subnautica below zero? i want to finish it before sub2

[cloud shell]

You've got like a year..

[distant light]

i've given up multiple times because i'm lost with what to do and every time i come back to the game it is worse because it is more stale

[cloud shell]

Go deeper

Read pdas and past voicelogs for info you may have missed

[distant light]

i think i'm at the stage where i have to build a pod racer thing on the surface

[cloud shell]

Snowfox?

[distant light]

ya

[cloud shell]

Yeah, uh. Don't.

Just.. just use a prawn suit.

[distant light]

none of this advice helps. i go to the distress markers and artifacts and i've already been there.

don't remember what i've done and not done.

[bold monolith]

Your main goal is to ||build Al-An's vessel||. You should know how many parts you've discovered and you need three.

Artifacts are optional.

[distant light]

thanks for the info. umm, don't I have to make peace with that woman, can't remember where I'm at with that

[bold monolith]

Yes. But the whole deal with ||Marguerit|| is optional.

[distant light]

i'm interested in finishing that quest line

i wonder how many other quest lines there are?

[bold monolith]

I would say three, even if ||understanding what happened to Sam and Marguerit|| is the same path.

Both are optional, oddly enough.

[cloud shell]

Optional. But worth it if you do it. Good foods

[steel stream]

You can deactivate beacons and also change color, so you can use different colors for visited artifacts

[summer pivot]

Does BZ have a hoverfish/cuddlefish equivalent?

[cloud shell]

Cuddlefish yes

[atomic nexus]

Is bz supposed to be a sequel or a DLC?

[slate valley]

spin-off

[willow monolith]

Y’all is it possible to kill a shadow leviathan without breaking my sea truck

[eternal garnet]

yes. You could repair. Do it immediately, as attacks have a cooldown

and stop attacks by firing Peri defense

[fervent cypress]

A DLC which became a canon spin off

It was supposed to be DLC at first but they decided to make it a game, which is what confuses most people I assume

[willow monolith]

Thanks for the info

[weary heron]

is there a way to teleport to where the void chelicerates live?

[steel shoal]

It's just going about 1000 meters east/south

[pearl flax]

Why is Robin so passive aggressive and rude towards AL-AN 😭

[pearl crown]

i farmed copper and silver for 5 hours and i'm literally dying

[short yarrow]

Too much of a coward to say it to his face /j

[broken badge]

Maybe because he is inside her head and she wants her privacy back
I might be kind of cranky too lol

[steel shoal]

Al-An is pretty uncaring and does/says stuff without thinking about how others feel. Might be from cultural differences, but Robin is not a fan of that at all. But in the end, they get along, and they understand each other a little better.

[cloud shell]

Al-an is probably used to knowing everything he needs to know all at once, and the architects are seemingly emotionless. Asides from basic emotions like happiness anger and sadness, he doesn't understand Robin and is incapable of learning how to talk to her easily on his own

[torpid idol]

i wouldnt like some guy in my head either

[stoic surge]

I tried to get him into a pengi-bot, but it didn't work

[frail kernel]

is the game dead after the development team issue

[short yarrow]

Does it look dead to you

[cloud shell]

no?

[steel stream]

Below zero is available just as before, i.e. not dead🤷‍♂️

[cloud shell]

chat where should i build

[steel shoal]

Arctic Spires

[cloud shell]

Where

I lowkey havnt memories the biomes yet

[grand haven]

Across the bridge

[eternal garnet]

put your main base near delta island. Maybe in lilypads

[odd epoch]

I use knife

[willow monolith]

I see…..I used both seatruck defense systems and knife

[jaunty girder]

I felt like a badass fighting with both torpedos hands on prawn

[toxic ocean]

Anyone know how to not die from drowning so much

Should I get the seatruck rn in the starting area

[odd epoch]

How deep u wanna go?

Build better tanks and in case this isnt enough get the air pump and pipes i never used em but its not a shame nor weird if u do

[steel shoal]

Carry a second tank if you feel the need

[odd epoch]

U can do that?

[steel shoal]

You can carry as many tanks as you want (if you have the space

[odd epoch]

My storage wont fit 💔 have exaggerated

[steel shoal]

Beware, a second Ultra High Capacity tank will double the slowing effect of the UHC tank

[odd epoch]

Is it normal to need 7k titanium for a city im building?

[toxic ocean]

So far my goal is to not die in the deep twisty bridges, I already got the high capacity tank so I guess building a base and a vehicle are my next options

[odd epoch]

A lil base first and a vehicle meanwhile would be good and build lil storages so u can farm stuff right at the start trust me if u wanna build smth big u need a lot of stuff

And look for smth to eat like fish or on an Island so u no hungry nor thirsty my subnaut 👍

[steel shoal]

my bases tend to require 1k titanium each, and they're not very large

[odd epoch]

Dang alrighty

[cloud shell]

my base in regular subnautica has nearly 1k titanium in just lockers alone

[toxic ocean]

Seatruck is so dang cool

[solid kestrel]

Hey, I just joined because I'm having a serious issue in BZ that I didn't have in regular Subnautica and I need help on choosing a good late-game base location.
To avoid spoilers, I will spoil all the text:
||I wish I had a base like Maida's with no predators, a direct connection with the crystal caves, that can be easily thermal powered and in a beautiful aesthetic place. In regular Subnautica I had the Tree Cove base that filled all these requirements, but I fail hard to locate a place like that in BZ, (I found a place in the Deep purple vents in the Fossil Excavator area that almost met my requirements but there was a Squidshark clipping through the walls and I quit that idea)||

[cloud shell]

no enterances to the crystal caves are without predators.

if you want an area with good thermal id reccomend building near delta station towards the side of where the beacon is, theres a few caves nearby with easily accesable thermal vents

[solid kestrel]

||Maida's base area doesn't have predators and it has a hole that leads to the crystal caves very close||

[cloud shell]

yes but there isnt very much space

if you really want to you could just kill the squidshark near the secondary enterance

[solid kestrel]

He's scary, he clips through the walls

[cloud shell]

a prawn suit with a grapple arm is enough to kill them

just grapple on and punch until it stops movin

[solid kestrel]

They do respawn don't they?

[cloud shell]

squidsharks dont respawn to my knowledge

[solid kestrel]

Another place I thought was on the ||Lillypad's alien cache, on the tunnels. it's a delightful location (I like the green decorations of the percursors). It's tight but looks cool, but I don't know how I could power that up, is it possible to make a thermal wire from Maida's base all the way to that spot?||

[cloud shell]

it is possible yes

but you'll need a significant ammount of titanium and gold

but the caves arnt the best for building, as they are very narrow

[solid kestrel]

I like narrow places, but maybe that's me

I have a base on western icebergs on the intersection with the left side kelp and one with a scanner on the glacial bay

[jaunty girder]

I built my base next to chelicerates, next to tree spires

From the mercury wreck side

[solid kestrel]

I would never build there, I can't build near leviathans

[jaunty girder]

Cute shrimps

Another good base location is exactly where the red crystals start to appear

(Kinda useless for resources, but who cares)🔥

The best base location is i think delta island

Near twisty and thermal spires

Plenty of resources everywhere

[solid kestrel]

I wanted something on the other side of the map honestly

[cloud shell]

Build in the void

[solid kestrel]

[fickle berry]

"Changed the Snowfox's damage from terrain impact from 100% to 12%, to not need as many repairs from just driving."

PEAK

[sly forge]

"Changed the chance of knocking the player off of the Snowfox when taking damage from the Ice Worm from 100% to 25% to make the encounter less frustrating.." holy f it took only 4 years

[odd epoch]

Just use ur legs 🤙🏼 zero damage = no repairs

[errant mesa]

i hated driving around and touching a pebble and losing 40 durability on the spot

[timber pebble]

randomly fixing snowfox after 3 years or whateve

[cloud shell]

A.. a pebble..

[timber pebble]

guh

[lilac grotto]

Subnautica patch’s in the big 25

[cloud shell]

Like.. pebble 203..

[errant mesa]

are you affiliated with that one dev who has done nothing but model rocks in the game

[cloud shell]

No

[spiral isle]

Wow they finally fixed the world not streaming in glitch

[final belfry]

Finally you can use the snowfox while in the ice spires

[next current]

Hmmm... I feel like this patch should've came out four years ago, but better late than never.

[icy vapor]

well i wasn't expecting snow fox improvements today

little late but yeah better late than never

[cloud shell]

Real

[placid flame]

Patching a dead and hated game is crazy

[jaunty girder]

Ngl just create prawn suit

💔

I love how prawn suit just ignores worms

[late cargo]

They fixed the ice worm finally!!

[ancient night]

Rage bait

[odd epoch]

Below zero is not dead... cause there is still oxigen

[cloud shell]

sure its hated

reviews say otherwise

[odd epoch]

How many eggs do fit in 1 multipurpose room alien Container

[cloud shell]

18 i believe

[odd epoch]

18 ??? Zammm i need more alien containers then

[cloud shell]

they stack in multipurpose rooms, its fun

i use them instead of ladders sometimes

[odd epoch]

I have 60 big storages full of eggs

[cloud shell]

yummy egg

[odd epoch]

Ima hatch em all and create an army

[cloud shell]

discounts happen regularly

[odd epoch]

Idk tbh

||u cant scan the void celicharate cant u?||

Even on Playstation?

[cloud shell]

yep

[violet ivy]

Oke thx

[chrome cedar]

I’m disappointed the just released patch for BZ didn’t address the Steam Deck text input issue with the on screen keyboard not working. That’s pretty much the only issue that’s been a problem for me.

[fickle berry]

[cloud shell]

the update was just fixing most of the issues a majority of the community had with the game, and was fixed by only 2 people, unfortunately like probably 90% of complaints were the snowfox

[chrome cedar]

True enough. I only built it maybe twice. Prawn all the way. LoL

[cloud shell]

prawn here too

[chrome cedar]

But having the Steam Deck Verified label would have been nice.

[charred sonnet]

I’ll chime in: I really like putting a base under the giant floating rock, in the caves where all the giant mushrooms are. It’s pretty, there’s lots of resources readily available, and you can build some interestingly twisty bases.

Love the Snowfox fixes. Makes it worth building it now. As someone upthread said, better late than never. How many games even ^get^ patches four years after their release?

[cloud shell]

ive never built in the lillypads, i really should..

[chrome cedar]

I love building on top of icebergs, then having a vertical tube run to underwater for docks and moonpools.

[cloud shell]

land bases my beloved

[next current]

I still think the Arctic Spires needs a major overhaul.

[cloud shell]

alot of the biomes are kinda.. barren

[solid kestrel]

I thought about that place, it really is beautiful

[plucky wave]

snowfox changes sound like a godsend

[cloud shell]

sucks that i just.. dont use the snowfox

[next current]

Agreed. But the changes we got are a step in the right direction.

[cloud shell]

only ever made it for the achievement..

[slate vault]

Very cool

[cloud shell]

in my opinion they shouldnt have put drillable stuff on that side, just encourages the use of the prawn more

[slate vault]

I'm always impressed when devs go back and fix stuff years after release.

Really shows dedication to the craft.

[cloud shell]

the devs care about these games

[jaunty girder]

Game in general needs tweaks

Like u have no purpose in going to arctic spires again

Same as with crystal caves (if u have kyanit)

In subnautica u had to explore more, visit more areas

[cloud shell]

its really kinda just there for the body cache

it has its purpose and it fufills it

[jaunty girder]

The map is also smaller bcoz of that take it to account, maybe its not "map is smaller" but actually area worth exploring more

[cloud shell]

The game was originally gonna be a dlc. So It was made intentionally smaller. But it ended up being too big for a dlc and too small for a sequel. So it's a spinoff

[jaunty girder]

Yee, it just feels "unfinished" bcoz of that, u have a world with such a wasted potential 3 dangerous leviathan types nothing more rly

[cloud shell]

Subnautica only had 3 dangerous leviathan types

[jaunty girder]

Maybe it had more of them thats why

Bz has like 12 leviathan spawns no?

[cloud shell]

Yeah, the crashsite alone has more leviathans than all of bz

[lusty thistle]

Yay, the snowfox is finally better than walking!

[jaunty girder]

And honestly shadow leviathans were more annoying than scary

[lusty thistle]

I thought they were scary. 😢

[cloud shell]

They are scary first time. But overexposure removes the fear factor

[jaunty girder]

Like they just messed up the part in which u just cant avoid them

U get grabbed, perimeter defense again and again

[lusty thistle]

Big arrow centipedes aleays trying to fondle my suit

[cloud shell]

It's the same with the seadragon and juvi ghost

[tranquil meteor]

So yea, the update didnt patch the issue with leviathan's clipping. Is it impossible to fix that?

[jaunty girder]

Sea dragons were kinda blind ngl

[tranquil meteor]

Is it part of the game's source code. What good are walls if they flat out don't work

[cloud shell]

Subnautica wouldn't be subnautica without leviathans clipping through walls

[tranquil meteor]

Not helping

[jaunty girder]

Also like on surface bz has what, 4 leviathans?

Not counting iceworms ofc

[cloud shell]

Where'd you get that number

[jaunty girder]

Iirc

[cloud shell]

The ice worm is the only land leviathan

[jaunty girder]

I mean on surface as the water surface

🥀 , the problem of bad english

[tranquil meteor]

Is it an impossible fix though? What is it in the coding that causes it to happen?

Sea Dragons especially

[jaunty girder]

Its an old game

[tranquil meteor]

walls flat out dont work

[charred sonnet]

Ugh - since the patch, my temperature depletes underwater, even while swimming, but my oxygen doesn’t. 🙁

[solid kestrel]

My biggest issue is how would I power a base there?

[cloud shell]

Bioreactor or nuclear

[solid kestrel]

How far would I have to go thermal there? I really love prepetual energy

[cloud shell]

Uhhh.. like- couple hundred meters. Depends If you get it from the thermal spires or delta island

[charred sonnet]

It’s a good point - I usually prefer thermal as well. But you’d have to string power boosters from the Delta Island hotspots, so it would take a lot. I think I used nuclear, as Froggedspam suggested.

[cloud shell]

Thermal my beloved

[jaunty girder]

I use nuclear since my base spots are more for looks than to be actually practical

I dont think they are any spots for thermal in crystal caves

Are there any?

[cloud shell]

Nope. Don't think so

[charred sonnet]

With enough power transmitters, ^anywhere^ is within reach. 🙂

[jaunty girder]

🔥

I might not want to have blue lines all across the map

[lusty thistle]

I am only an internet rando, but I speculate that this is "intentional". Or rather, it is the most elegant solution for a small team trying to make sure that large objects can animate smoothly without getting stuck or spazzing out on a wall somewhere.

I suspect their AI might use the walls as a general guide on where to stay, but that they don't actually collide. It's not ideal, but it's likely better than if collision were accurate.

[cloud shell]

Fun fact. The lines go through solid rock

[jaunty girder]

Idk how i would utilise that in almost the deepest part of the map

Im thinking if its worth doing

Actually,

[cloud shell]

Simple. Build a line. And make it go directly through the wall

[jaunty girder]

So thermal spires or where is the closest?

Heat source

[cloud shell]

Depends where in the lillypads you build

On one side you've got the thermal spires.

The middle you've got delta.

And on the other you've got the big hole that's supposedly a volcano with the chaliserate above

[jaunty girder]

Im quite literally in a cave without an end😭

Near those red crystals

Like i see them and purple ones

Between them

I think i might make a seatruck

With like 10 storage modules

🔥

Im not going back and forth for resources

But that speed of seatruck tho

So fast, uncatchable

[solid kestrel]

What about the artifact in the lillypads that I forgot what it was. It's kind of deep but not a bad spot, just doesn't have space to fill a seatruck

[cloud shell]

I don't think your fitting anything down there

[dim edge]

When does below zero drop on mobile?

[jaunty girder]

As a energy source bioreactors underrated

Peppers are a great way to generate so much power

[cloud shell]

Subnautica just came to mobile. Wait like 3 years for bz

[short yarrow]

Maybe even more considering they're working on sub 2

[toxic ocean]

then farm ribbon plant for infinite energy

[rancid pivot]

still no option to remove the eating/slurping noises?

[next current]

Those noises are best noises.

[viral grail]

The below zero changes are amazing

[brazen fossil]

Can we get a downgrade version of below zero for modding purposes

[ionic oracle]

Yoo anyone wana play

[solid siren]

Oh my gosh

They actually fixed the land section thank you subnautica

[gloomy jewel]

finally, after all these years, snowfox is not as awful

[bold monolith]

Off-topic / 5.

[jaunty girder]

Imma play bz from 0% with a goal to build a base so big

[short yarrow]

so big that your game crashes

[toxic ocean]

only issue is that I never experienced the bad version so I wouldn't know how good the improvements are

is prawn suit usable on land

[gloomy jewel]

i was there from the beginning

[gloomy jewel]

yep! it's what I've always used the moment i realized how bad snowfox was.

(and also in early access the prawn suit used to be immune to worm cuz it wasn't coded to interact with it)

[jaunty girder]

Oh yes

[jaunty girder]

Who would win spiderman prawn suit or ~95 meters long worm

[short yarrow]

Clearly spiderman prawn suit

[true violet]

Heyo,why cant i open the game??

[bold monolith]

The log file will tell you.

Windows key + r, shell:localappdatalow\unknown worlds\subnautica below zero.

Open Player.log or drag and drop it there.

[gloomy jewel]

also try verifying game files if you haven't already

[bold monolith]

Guesswork would also work. Like since the game was updated you could have mods preventing the game to start since they need to be updated. Restarting Steam could also be the way to fix it. Or as said verifying the game's files. But if you just open the log file you'll see it right away. So why trying workarounds randomly instead of checking what's really happening?

[gloomy jewel]

that too i guess

[gloomy jewel]

prawn suit easy w

[jaunty girder]

Gotta go to my beloved shrimps for seatruck m2

[fathom minnow]

Gay

[toxic ocean]

how does the prawn suit on land compare to snowfox post updates

[gloomy jewel]

i haven't played today's update yet, but despite prawn being clunky/slower, it felt alot easier/more in your control to avoid the worm.

[jaunty girder]

The worm wasnt even able to hit me in prawn suit

Lol

Worm kinda weak

[cloud shell]

A many people here are gay yes

[jaunty girder]

I think imma build my secondary base near koppa mine

And then build in crystal caves

[barren atlas]

W

[steel shoal]

Should've been 0% but hey, that's better

[cloud shell]

nothing in life is perfect

[jaunty girder]

Okay in 2h of playing i got a little base with storage room, mk3 seamoth upgrade along with perimeter, scanned all of the seatruck upgrades (not modules tho) and scanned prawnsuit

Docking module will be a pain iirc

There was a lil buddy near it no?

It was near deep purple vents right?

[cloud shell]

Seamoth?

[jaunty girder]

Seatruck

[cloud shell]

Was gonna say

[jaunty girder]

Nostalgia kicks in lmao🔥

I played first game soo long

Icl i think the base in purple caves is gonna be fire

I have a question tho, are spotlights not in the game? I thought i saw one in creative mode

[toxic ocean]

I just found out when you tap jump on land in the prawn suit you accelerate nonstop

so they were right, the new prawn suits are made for land

[short yarrow]

What did it use to do before

[near eagle]

no spotlights only floodlights unfortunately

[dry basalt]

hey im kinda lost on what i should be doing next.. so far i have || disabled the satellite on delta island and went to the greenhouse, explored outpost zero and phi robotics center, scanned the architect artifact X3J. i have a sea truck with no modules and only depths mk1 and defense upgrades. also a prawn with grappling arm||

[bold monolith]

You're done with ||Marguerit|| . You should have learned what Sam was doing next so you should explore in that direction. And you should still have to find and ||build Al-An a body||.

There are three parts.

Artifacts are optional, they give clues and dialogue as well as unlocking ||alien tech||.

[jaunty girder]

Damn it sucks

I wanted to do crystal caves research base

[dry basalt]

they mentionned that sam had || the andidote in a cave but dont really know where to even look for it, as for the al an body, i have no idea what to even look for honestly ||

[cloud shell]

you can find a map inside of ||phi robotics|| and you unlock a small piece of tech there which allows access to the ||antitdote||

[dry basalt]

alight i guess ill have another look there, thanks!

[jaunty girder]

Got all seatruck modules i need

Just need prawnsuit now

[edgy glade]

Is it worth buying BZ on sale on Steam?

[cloud shell]

Yeah

I'd say so

[near eagle]

thats a very productive first 2 hours 😂 🔥

Yeah bro🥀

I got 2 body parts only

Nobody cares

Guys does someone know how to fix the download of below zero on steam if it says corrupt disk?

[eternal garnet]

right click your drive, properties, tools, error checking. Do this for all drives. D: first

[fast bramble]

Thanks

But i only have a c driver... idk why

[eternal garnet]

for windows drive, it needs a reboot to fix

that's fine

[fast bramble]

Ok

[eternal garnet]

so you'll need a reboot to finish. It will say so

Note, in future, don't surprise turn off windows. Use start menu, Shut down, or Sleep

[fast bramble]

Ok

I just deleted it like1y ago and it wouldnt redownload

[eternal garnet]

corruption refers to your drive, not the game

[fast bramble]

Ik

But it always worked fine untill i deleted it and tried to redownload it

Where do i find my drive?

[eternal garnet]

well it won't install because the drive data is corrupt

an explorer window, This PC, C:

[fast bramble]

Once thats done i should be able to dowload right?

[eternal garnet]

just go to This PC, then right click on the right side on C

yes

[fast bramble]

Ik i got it scanning

For errors

what do i do now?

[eternal garnet]

I have not seen that one before

[fast bramble]

OH

i have to restart my pc so it can repair

brb

[eternal garnet]

yes but... it's becoming more likely your drive is dying

Lets hope not

[azure drum]

where do i find the ice worm thing

so much versions also

[torpid idol]

||if you go west you can find a bridge that you gotta extend with hydraulic fluid (the blueprint on the floor) and with 4 gel sacs and creepvine seed clusters you can make the hydraulic fluid and extend the bridge. after going across the bridge and through a tunnel you'll find the arctic spires biome, which got dem ice worm thangs||

[jaunty girder]

Are there lithium deposits?

[sleek torrent]

NOPE

purple vents best for that

[jaunty girder]

NOOO

Im forced to collect them one by one

[stoic surge]

Windows logic - use the start button to turn off, lol

[warm fractal]

Dude

They finally fixed the ice worms encounters

This is awesome bro

[toxic ocean]

i did the ice worm section

but i used the prawn suit so i don't know how it really went with the bike

[weary sluice]

Hi! I saw that bz is on sale and I was thinking of buying it, it has remained mostly unspoiled to me which is a + because I accidentally spoiled most of sub 1 so an unspoiled experience might be fun, I did read a lot of negative comments about how it is worse than the OG, what do y'all think?

[cloud shell]

i wouldnt say its worse, people have a negative opinion because its different to og subnautica, but id heavily reccomend it, especially now that its on this big of a sale

[weary sluice]

Alright, thanks! Can't really go wrong for €7,5

[cloud shell]

agreed, better than like 30 euro eh?

[jaunty girder]

Anyone knows if lead deposits are a thing?

[grand haven]

Galena outcrops

Either titanium or lead

[cloud shell]

large lead deposits were removed for bz

aswell as urananite i believe

[odd epoch]

||at the cristal caves is a lot Lithium tho look there||

[jaunty girder]

So there are silver, gold, ruby, diamonds, quartz and titanium only?

And copper

[jaunty girder]

Ngl i hate lead

[torpid idol]

i love lead

[fathom dew]

Lead is love lead is life

[jaunty girder]

Cant find it for life

[torpid idol]

i just bought bz about a month ago on the switch, and i finished hardcore mode yesterday. It was so fun in my opinion and has a lot of aspects that the original didnt that made parts of the game so enjoyable. i do wish it was deeper cuz the only way to get to the deepest parts of the map are through tiny cave cracks.

[jaunty girder]

First game was 100% better

In terms of pda entries, depth

Leviathans count

Immersion

[weary sluice]

Yh I read it's not as scary?

Not that the first game is that scary apart from your first leviathan encounter

[toxic ocean]

i love lead so much i drink it with my water and i get poisoned

[jaunty girder]

Ngl this part, is mainly worse bcoz there are i think 4 leviathans? Outside of void

In 2 parts of the map, makes it way less frightening

Shrimps arent that bad

Ice worms are ones i didnt fear, and shadows were annoying not scary atleast for me

[weary sluice]

Well reapers are also annoying when in the cyclops :/

Gonna miss that submarine tho

[cloud shell]

and kayanite

[jaunty girder]

Kayanite has?

[cloud shell]

yes

[jaunty girder]

Well also cubes have

Is kayanite even needed for anything aside from cheap upgrades?

[cloud shell]

thermal upgrades

[jaunty girder]

Nah i wont use,

[toxic ocean]

story related thing, depth modules, and thermal stuff

[jaunty girder]

Not worth it imo

[toxic ocean]

i got all of the needed kyanite by picking it off the cave floor

[jaunty girder]

Ok i got all what i need for my purple caves research site, aside from lead

Idk what to build as power source

[toxic ocean]

bioreactor, then make a ribbon plant farm
they aren't the highest power yield but they're pretty good

[jaunty girder]

What about gelsacks

Are they better?

I forgot to scan big room

In marguerit base

😭

I think imma go her greenhouse for that plant

Its quite good i heard

Isnt it?

[toxic ocean]

they are slightly better yeah
and you can farm those too

arctic peepers have high energy yield, I might switch to breeding peepers for my bioreactor

[rose python]

I find below zeroes void scarier than subnauticas

[jaunty girder]

Where can i find them

Oh nvm

Normal peepers?

Just like that, no special fish?

[toxic ocean]

yeah i checked the wiki, seems like peepers are best single-slot fish for energy in BZ

[serene robin]

Here we go 😭

I need to get the rest of the Kyanite and also explore as this is my first time playing below zero

I made sure to come prepared. Got the prawn suit too

[jaunty girder]

Bros gonna appreciate perimeter defense

Finally

[serene robin]

😂😭

My cheeks are clenched

I made sure to get everything I need

Looted the outskirts for a FEW kyanite which I used for the depth modules

[jaunty girder]

Ngl im planning to do a fire base in crystal caves

Near fabricator caves

Was collecting materials today

[serene robin]

Idk what’s down here

Is there ore deposits down here @jaunty girder besides kyanite ofc

[jaunty girder]

Kayanite only iirc

[serene robin]

Ah

[jaunty girder]

I got all of my resources from koppa and near marguerit base

[serene robin]

Bro this game is taking me way longer to beat the Subnautica

Not complaining but I’m just like dang lmao

[jaunty girder]

Ngl i beated it in 5 hours

Second time

[serene robin]

I’m also very new

I just downloaded both games very recent 😅

5 hours is wild

[jaunty girder]

Im worried how much resources will it take for base

[serene robin]

I’m at 12 hours rn 💀💀💀

[jaunty girder]

Im not playing to 100% fourth time

Just to build a cool ahh base

[serene robin]

Lmao I get it

When you beat below zero does it let you still play your save like Subnautica

[jaunty girder]

It plays from the last save point

[pastel ledge]

yo where do I find diamonds

spent the past hour trying to find some

still havent found any

[jaunty girder]

Near ||purple caves entrance|| there is the most of them, or ||koppa mine||

[pastel ledge]

how do i get to koppa?

im on delta outpost rn and know its near by

[fair kelp]

should I buy below zero for 5 dollars?

[pastel ledge]

yessss

just bought it today

[cloud shell]

Yeah

[jaunty girder]

Just search around the island

U can see it by lights in the water

[cloud shell]

Its good game, you can build land bases

[fair kelp]

I will buy it, it looks very polished

but is there my beautiful elegant handsome reaper leviathan

[cloud shell]

Eehhh

[cloud shell]

No

[fair kelp]

[cloud shell]

But you get a different levi

Won't spoiler

[fair kelp]

that giant ice worm thing

[cloud shell]

Yes and no

[jaunty girder]

||Shrimps||

[pastel ledge]

thanks I found it

how do you go down the main shaft without bring your sea truck?

can you squeeze in your pawn suit?

[cloud shell]

Prawn only gng

[faint crystal]

what happens if i scan the precursor stuff before i go see that filthy wireback tinskin clanker Alan

[toxic ocean]

you can fit your truck cabin into it but it easily gets stuck so maybe don't do that

[pastel ledge]

it’s intended for prawn suit right?

[cloud shell]

You just unlock the alien recipes. The main body parts can't be scanned until you have al-an

[toxic ocean]

yes but there are plenty of goods you can get without the prawn too

[pastel ledge]

bet thanks

[grizzled oasis]

hey guys, wondering here if the patch is worth to play again bz

[azure drum]

Where do I find the seaglide fragments in this game

[finite anvil]

how to play multiplayer?

[eternal garnet]

that's a mod

[finite anvil]

how i can download?

[eternal garnet]

subnauticamultiplayer.com

I don't know if it works with the new update. Also try "legacy" steam beta

[finite anvil]

oho kay

[cloud shell]

just on the floor in the safe shallows

[toxic ocean]

snowfox was improved

ok so I just finished playing below zero and I think the prawn suit isn't meant to be the game.
i literally cheesed all the land sections because the prawn negates the cold mechanic and it goes insanely fast
on the bright side, at least people have the option to skip those sections so i'm not complaining.

and seatruck is peak, I love it to death. the modules are pretty useful, I love customizing them before a trip, and it's cool when I detach the modules to use it like a seamoth. plus it docks the prawn, so it's like a 3-in-1 vehicle.

[eternal garnet]

snowfox also keeps you warm. it's all intentional
Prawn may well have had some player pressure to return

[toxic ocean]

i see, so snowfox is still viable

i might drive it in the iceworm section to try it at least

[eternal garnet]

erm. Well... something big really hates it

buit it's a little better after the patch

[steel shoal]

Snowfox is reeeeeeeaallly fun

I wish the Ice Worm wouldn't dismount, it's my only issue

[eternal garnet]

at least two aspects on that were updated

[steel shoal]

If I could mod on PS4, I'd just put the dismount rate on 0%

And that would be peak BZ

[toxic ocean]

i'd dodge it all trust

[steel shoal]

The problem is that the worm doesn't have to hit you to dismount you....

[elder badger]

Does anyone know what Aci video is being referenced here?

The Wall-Mounted Foundation was a buildable Seabase component and variant of the Foundation that was never introduced in the game but could have been built off the sides of natural walls either under or above water. It was never introduced into the game and was left as a cut candidate, and was never added before the official release of the game, however recently they were temporarily readded into the experimental version of the game, and currently it is known that they were in Experimental Version 48597, as seen in a video by a youtuber named Aci, however they were removed for unknown reasons. Its likely that they were re-added in by mistake, however they could be trying to re-add this cut buildable.

Trying to figure out when 48597 was released right now, I assume the video was around the same time

[humble sparrow]

Hi! I'm interested in mods I have subnautica below zero, how would mod works in this case? (I'm on pc)

[turbid dock]

Bro I'm playing with max creature aggression, and chilicerates are TERRIFYJNG

[limber matrix]

hey guys, should i buy BZ? its 5 dollars right now

[charred comet]

Yes.

[fervent bloom]

They just fixed that, didn’t they? The new patch says that it fixes the ice worm doing damage at any distance and reduced the chance of getting knocked off when you do take damage.

[steel shoal]

I'm not sure, it may be fixed, it may not be

I hope it is but I have not yet gotten an opportunity to play it

[echo trail]

5 dollars is a great deal

[limber matrix]

yeah but there are other games so im still thinking about it because this is still avaiable till like 21-22 august

[tranquil meteor]

Definitely buy it now. The world may not be as big as SN1, but the gameplay is tighter, the visuals are breathtaking and there is a ton of stuff to interact with.

[short yarrow]

Curious question what engine was used to make BZ

[tranquil meteor]

Same as the first game

[broken badge]

Unity

[rugged condor]

Decima best game engine?

[charred comet]

how do I get in here

[cloud shell]

Spy penglin

[charred comet]

where do I get that lil fella

dont care about spoilers ive finished it once before

[cloud shell]

Either ||phi robotics|| or around ||maidas base||

[charred comet]

[ember lark]

I got below zero

is it peak or nah

[eternal garnet]

it's different. it's a great game

[ember lark]

Nice

[eternal garnet]

... too

[ember lark]

can I like

make the O2 thing on the hud bigger

I kinda want to see my o2 number and not my temperature

nvm it did it automatically

;-;

[charred comet]

stupid seamonkey died on impact and is now blocking the hatch so i cant get out

im gonna crash out omg

cue asphyxiation

how does this even happen

I made a bug report, but quitting and restarting despawned the seamonkey lol

[rustic mountain]

How are you playing!!!!!

Wait nvm I thought that was the tadpole

It's just the sea truck

[charred comet]

huh

[rustic mountain]

I thought it was sub 2

[cloud shell]

sorry, his seatruck now

Huh, im on the new patch.. but it says im- on the 2022 build..

[eternal garnet]

new is 53115

[serene robin]

I like it but that’s bc I’ve never play either game up until recently

[echo trail]

I was typing my mod ping and then it got removed

Thanks mods!

[novel gale]

Why did that message about the permission get removed

[proper creek]

yeah, i tried to pres TAB and quit Seatruck in the same time after that game stack inside.

[magic mist]

there will be below zero mobile?

[eternal garnet]

if SN mobile does well, probably

[magic mist]

I'm playing Subnautica mobile rn and it's really fun

It was my dream game

[eternal garnet]

save often!

[magic mist]

Yes

Spying with those cameras is fun

[eternal garnet]

but you should get the HUD upgrade. Also wrong chat

[spark hull]

Friends good afternoon, I need help because I started playing Subnautica Below Zero again, but it is crashing and closing, making me lose my progress. Can someone please help me? I appreciate the kindness of anyone who can help me.

I'm playing on PC

[timid topaz]

Anyone else notice that vehicle coloring is broken, and only shows up on relog?

[eternal garnet]

note that the game was updateed and mods can break entirely or introduce strange bugs

[eternal garnet]

when does it crash? immediately? Steam?

[spark hull]

I'm not using mods

[spark hull]

It crashes and then closes, if I don't save what I did I lose everything, this game should have automatic saving

[eternal garnet]

when does it crash

[eternal garnet]

Please actually read my questions.
Did it start crashing with the update? Are you on steam?

[spark hull]

Yes I use stean

It's been about 5 days since I downloaded it again on Stean to play

sorry for the delay in responding

[eternal garnet]

You can undo the update, if you think that's the cause. Go in game properties in steam, betas, pick beta "Legacy"
I hope that can still load your save

[spark hull]

ok I will do as you said

[eternal garnet]

Legacy is a recent version but from 2024 or 2023

[spark hull]

ok

thanks for the help

[timid topaz]

I used a seatruck dock to color my seatruck, but the colors didnt show until I left and rejoined the world.

I even did a clean install of the game to make sure I had nothing else causing it

[charred sonnet]

I ^love^ the little details Unknown Worlds puts in the game, and to which it doesn’t call any attention. ^Dozens^ of times through this game, and I just ^now^ found out you can ride the glow whales.

[serene sand]

Guys how do I counter cryptosuchus and brute shark?

[vast heart]

How are we doing now that the king is back (I'm king)

[toxic harness]

Cryptosuchus- ignore them they're goofy
Brute shark - run them over with the seatruck

[serene sand]

Can u just swim away from the cyprtosuchus using a seaglide?

[steel stream]

Yes. Or you can hit it with knife and it will flee (scanning tells this)

[stoic surge]

I have introduced most of the predators in sector zero to my seatruck's front end, much to their dismay - I even renamed it 'the CRUSHER'

[changes battery in repair tool]

[carmine bobcat]

does anyone have any tips im starting a below zero world for the first time?

[stoic surge]

Build a scanner and scan all the things

[eternal garnet]

Save often. Explore everything. This game is about exploration. Sea monkeys may annoy you a lot; just hide your tool (E) or at least switch away seaglide. Bring a beacon everywhere. New beacon feature: if you have one and die, it will rename and drop.
The air bladder is really good. Pin recipes you plan to make.
Have fun.

[uncut saffron]

is there someone who wants to play BZ online ? I'm just starting BZ, just finished SN

[surreal ore]

bro how am i supposed to advance after a certain point in this game

[split folio]

have you found al?

[surreal ore]

yes

that guy with no body u mean?

i also went to that crazy ol ladies mtn base and then was lost so i went to the frozen with help

[split folio]

yeh him

al is your guide

[surreal ore]

so i js wait till he slowly drops hints?

how annoying

[split folio]

pretty much

but they trigger when you find certain spots

[surreal ore]

oh so i explore die to leviathans trigger something every 5h and then progress 5% in the story?

[split folio]

like once you enter a specific radius he'll alert you to the presence of an alien location, most of which have parts

so just explore and he'll guide you

[surreal ore]

but how am i supposed to a know where they are

and b idk what im even supposed to do

like i js wander around now

[split folio]

kinda

but it's really hard to not find them, they're all in spots most players end up in while finding resources

besides a few which have their own areas, but those are pretty obvious too

[surreal ore]

and then ill be told what i need to do to escape?

[split folio]

you'll given hints

[surreal ore]

yh cuz after u find margrets mtn base ur clueless

[split folio]

have you built any vehicles?

[surreal ore]

yh but i dont find the upgrades

[split folio]

hmm

[surreal ore]

ill js goof around then

[split folio]

found the glacier or omega base yet?

or the bridge?

[steel stream]

He gives hints when you scan certain number of artifacts

(You only get one ||beacon to body part, other two arw hints||)

[serene sand]

Oh alr thanks

[hasty fulcrum]

so, why does the game have U glide fins but you have to use commands to get them?

[eternal garnet]

they don't boost you, I believe. They are removed basically

[toxic ocean]

Wonder why they took out ultra glide fins tho

The speed difference between swimming and seaglide is a bit jarring without them

But it is fun having an unlimited charge seaglide so maybe that’s why they didn’t need u glide fins

[wanton sonnet]

why is the icon for the server still pride flag

mens mental health month ended ages ago

[manic wharf]

is that a problem

pride month never ends if you dont want it to

it never ends.

i am in your walls.

[mossy hill]

LETS go

[serene sand]

Does anyone know how to counter squidshark and Chelicerate?

[steel stream]

Seatruck perimeter system; fire on attack to cancel it (not before). Alternatively, if you have at least one module stand up (make sure yhe seatruck is horizontal to actually stand up inside and not exit...)

[serene sand]

Is the seatruck perimeter system an additional upgrade or is it in built?

[steel stream]

Upgrade module, on the floor on pilot's base

[serene sand]

Oh alr thanks

how deep is it?

[steel stream]

About 360m...seatruck with depth mk1 and seaglide the last bit

[deep falcon]

guys, is the || jump jet upgrade || crucial to beat the game?

[stoic surge]

Maybe, but, you can get one for free in the ||koppa mine||

[deep falcon]

i asked that because i lost it and i'm too lazy, but i found it

[steel stream]

No, even the prawn suit is not crucial

[grand haven]

You know what is crucial? ||the Cyclops shield upgrade||

[deep falcon]

lol

[deep falcon]

oh alr

[sacred jungle]

I think im gonna make my base on land, i havent done that before

oh you cant build on the little ice pieces

[steel stream]

Um, this is below zero chat...no cyclops

[grand haven]

Yeah

I realized

[hasty fulcrum]

hide/run/PRAWN suit

[stoic surge]

Have you found the on-land spot where there's steps up from the water? That's my fave location for a land base - as a bonus, you can use thermal plants around the steam vents for power 🙂

[manic wharf]

make it in the tundra void

[tardy shard]

Do the steam vents generate power all the time? Or only when they erupt?

[stoic surge]

All the time, in the Switch version anyway

Possibly all versions

[haughty turtle]

whaeres that

[manic wharf]

have you heard of the void

tundra void is that but land

[haughty turtle]

how do i get there

[manic wharf]

supposed to be the outside of the playable area

[manic wharf]

prawn suit grappling arm

[haughty turtle]

huh

what do i grapple onmto

its just water

[manic wharf]

as in use it for glitches to get to the base

"There are actually three different voids in the game; these are Water Void, Tundra Void, and World Edge. World Edge appears in the game as the main void, and is the only one normally accessible in game without bugs or cheats. Water Void is simply an older version of the World Edge, used in early versions of the game in the water. The most interesting void is the TundraVoid. Unlike the other voids, this void appears mostly on land, mostly out of bounds."

[haughty turtle]

bro wht im so lost

what base???

[manic wharf]

the one you make

in tundra void cause its really good for building

just flat land for thousands of meters

[haughty turtle]

oh

[manic wharf]

no dangers except cold

[haughty turtle]

how do u not have solowmode

[manic wharf]

i do i just send messages as soon as possible

[haughty turtle]

swaer u sent instantly

[manic wharf]

nope

[haughty turtle]

im js tweaking ig

[manic wharf]

yep

[bold monolith]

Is there a slow mode here?

[haughty turtle]

bro what

[manic wharf]

[haughty turtle]

how

[manic wharf]

theyre a playtester

[haughty turtle]

oh

[sacred jungle]

I have not sadly

[stoic surge]

As you keep exploring, I'm sure you'll find it

[sacred jungle]

I have beaten below zero about 4 times, so i wanted some variety

[haughty turtle]

i just accidentally found the ||architect tissues|| in ||arctic spires||, do i need to do anythign else there or can i leave PLEASE ive nearly died like 5 times 😭

[deep falcon]

What do I do after i found the || first architect component, the body ||, do i go find that || cure marguerit || gave me?

[fervent bloom]

That's the only thing you need to do there that's mandatory for the story, though there's another thing to find there.

[fervent bloom]

Is that the component that ||Al-An told you where to find||?

[deep falcon]

Yeah

[fervent bloom]

Are there any ||Architect artifacts|| that you have been pointed to but haven't found yet? If not, ||working on the task Marguerite gave you is a good idea. Have you made any progress?||

[deep falcon]

No, and i haven't started searching. Where would i find its position?

[fervent bloom]

You need the ||parallel processing unit||?

[deep falcon]

for the || antidote location ||?? But how?

Does it do something else than || hack the alterra comms ||?

[fervent bloom]

My apologies, I was confused. ||Finding the cure isn't necessary, but I would definitely suggest you do it. Do you know what to look for?||

[charred sonnet]

Is there a trick to going the right direction on stacked ladders? I always seem to go up when I mean to go down.

[fervent bloom]

I don't know that there is. You may just need to click on the right ladder.

[charred sonnet]

I mean, yes, but how? I’m looking downward, I’m clicking on the lowest available rung, but half the time I still go up.

[toxic ocean]

Yeah it’s just hard to hover over the bottom ladder, try doing it with an empty hand so you can see the prompts

[charred sonnet]

I’ll give it a try. It’s so fiddly, I’ve mostly given up stacking ladders and simply try to avoid building vertically.

[haughty turtle]

ive been to || margerita or whatever her name is 😭 's greenhouse|| is that the end of the ||margerita stuff'||

[vast jay]

Yes

Technically

||the whole Sam thing is technically part of it for the complete lore||

[serene sand]

Oh alr

[haughty turtle]

but i mean like is there any more sorta sidequest or whatever leeft abt ||margerita|| i can do

[haughty turtle]

someone said before || about a cure or smthn||

idk what the ||cure|| would be for

[eternal garnet]

once you find ||phi robotics||, there's a large thing to find, south, in a cave, in a ||tree area||

[somber smelt]

How do you hide the text

[grand haven]

||like this?||

[somber smelt]

Just had my first encounter with the ||shadow leviathan||. I hate how the pda ||warns you a leviathan is near||. Ruins the whole horror aspect

[fervent bloom]

In multipurpose or large rooms, you can offset the ladders, and you can do the same more with slightly less ease with compartments.

[zenith pebble]

I'm a bit confused on what I'm supposed to do I've gotten the sea truck , I've been to the delta thingy and met prawn suit girl and now I'm unaware of what to do

[broken badge]

You’re given a marker to follow the prawn suit lady (last known pilot location) although that’s really just where to enter that biome. You need to go into the cave network there and keep exploring. The seatruck is helpful for this, although it’s better (a lot so) if you’ve made the first depth upgrade for it.

[zenith pebble]

Oh ok I went down there and saw nothing so I thought it was pointless preciate it

[broken badge]

Yeah it wasn’t very clear when I played the first time.

[broken badge]

Be on the look out for some light sticks, and also it helps to find your way if you look for oxygen plants and this plant that changes colors on the wall called hivemind
If you see those things, you’re on the right track

[zenith pebble]

Ah ok

I've progressed a bit without going there so I've gotten a couple of seatruck modules and upgraded it's depth so I should be fine

[broken badge]

The caves also have some good stuff to scan in the sea monkey nests. Like upgrades for the seatruck (horsepower and afterburner module upgrades) and the ultra tank. So there’s useful things from exploring as well

[zenith pebble]

Ah alr I'll be sure to look for them

[deep falcon]

I don't know anything, i just know it's in a chest

[deep falcon]

Just go to the alien distress signal after you go to || marguerit's base ||

[hollow spindle]

How do I get subnaruca below zero on tablet

[vivid plover]

Just buy a pc already😔

[stoic surge]

Not always an option

[stoic surge]

What kind of tablet do you have?

[vivid plover]

Btw how do u put mods on bellow zero

[stoic surge]

I own the Switch version, so ... no mods for me

[vivid plover]

Like cracked for you? Idk really

[stoic surge]

Since the Devs added the custom options in the game menu, I don't really see a need for mods anyway

[vivid plover]

In your opinion what's better Subnautica or the bellow zero

Below*

[stoic surge]

I bought both on my Switch, and have played them about equally

[vivid plover]

I have like only 13hrs on zero trying to balance out my 100+ on Subnautica😭

Brought zero like last week any tips?

[stoic surge]

Build a scanner and scan all the things

The rest will be revealed when the time is right

[vivid plover]

Aight sorry if I'm bothering lol just tryna start a Convo since I'm new

Btw did Subnautica 2 release for playtest since like I see a chat

[stoic surge]

IDK, you may wanna check the S2 channel for that

[vivid plover]

Kk istg GTA 6 is gonna release before Subnautica 2 releases

[toxic ocean]

early access is out in 2026

[fervent bloom]

I agree with William that scanning everything is a good idea. It's also really important to read or listen to PDA entries, and I'd advise that you explore any and every area you find. There are a lot of little crevices and corners with interesting things in them, more so than in Subnautica.

[pallid drum]

is this weather rare? I've never seen it before

[hazy hamlet]

any sugestions? I have 3 hours in game

[eternal garnet]

suggestion: #subnautica-chat

[hazy hamlet]

ye mb

[eternal garnet]

also, panic

[cloud shell]

I get it alot. It's cool

[charred sonnet]

If your base is unusually tall, is there a way to get the Control Room to display all of it? I’ve got a big vertical connector and it only shows the bottom half.

[rugged condor]

thats cool

[toxic ocean]

You can ‘scroll’ the hologram

[mild osprey]

rip i wont be able to buy this game before it goes offsale-

[short yarrow]

uh huh

[covert gyro]

Hello. Does anybody have an idea why saving keeps failing (“access denied”) after the recent update on macOS? I gave BZ full disk access and still no success

[bold monolith]

What do you mean full disk access?

Maybe you'll see more with the log file.

Which should be in ~/Library/Logs/Unknown Worlds/Subnautica Below Zero/Player.log.

The game uses the environment variable Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData for the temporary save folder, which is in /usr/share according to MS. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/macios/system-special-folders?view=net-maui-9.0

[untold umbra]

Any one know how to get rid of eyejellys around a base, I don’t like them near my base they mess up my seatruck port. In a past save i raised squidsharks but they didn’t attack eachother, is there a creature that does eat them that can be hatched ?

[bold monolith]

You can't, sorry.

Nothing attacks it. Besides perhaps the spikey trap. But they aren't there.

Also, the eyejelly respawns.

[untold umbra]

Dang

[trim helm]

Just bought below zero

[wicked prism]

|| Do the crystal caves have diamonds? Did not find any despite the wiki saying so. Btw is there an offical one or only fandom? ||

[polar ridge]

Haven't played SubBZ for a while now, but i do know that ||theres alot of diamonds you can find in the Diamond mines i think||

That what i can remember from

[wicked prism]

ok i found one they are probably just rare in that biome

[bold monolith]

On the right it's probably the area in the arctic, I have a bad filter based on the depth.

So don't take it into consideration.

[jolly nebula]

Finally, i can play custom mode and be happy again

I finished the achievements

[cloud shell]

Deep twisty bridges is best for diamonds

[near elm]

General question should I get below zero I’ve heard a lot of mixed responses

[cloud shell]

It's a good game imo, worth it, especially with the current sale if that's still going on

[near elm]

Ok

[toxic ocean]

It’s not that bad, still pretty subnautica

[trim helm]

playing bz rn music/sounds in both of the games are top tier imo

accidentally crafted a 2 knife what do i do

[novel gale]

Gift it to the fishies

So the lil guys can protect themselves

[trim helm]

dropped it somewhere will do

[novel gale]

Theyll grab it

And they will be threatening!

[trim helm]

yeah uhh i just made the fins and i remember wehn i was like 7 or 8 and i put them on and i almost drowned cuz the fins were too heavy for me ptsd..

[novel gale]

You werent the chosen one for the fins...

[trim helm]

the fins rejected me

[novel gale]

You are forced to live your days on dry land

Because the water rejected you

[twilit siren]

How do you get the VR patch subnautica below zero

[trim helm]

went to a big cable with sparks flying out of it turns out it hurts

i heard bep beep bep

[weary sluice]

Does BZ not having a Cyclops make it more difficult (survival wise because Cyclops = infinite food, water and shelter) or does it only make it more tedious to get around? A big problem for me in SN is how overpowered the cyclops is, so I'm hoping that the seatruck fixes that without being too annoying to use

[novel gale]

Cyclops wouldnt fit cuz the caves are so small

Plus seatruck is similar

[tawdry sapphire]

just played BZ properly for the first time and it feels like im playing pet simulator from roblox
WHY IS EVERYTHING IN A STRAIGHT LINE

[quasi quartz]

Hello fellow subnauts, divers... You get the point.

Recently, Subnautica: Below Zero has gone on sale for £7.50 (£7.49 specifically ☝️🤓) and I'm considering buying.

Should I? I've seen a lot of people saying that BZ is lacking in everything Subnautica had (Less vehicles, smaller map) and has things added that seem bad or unnecessary (Snowfox, voiced protagonist, 'bad' storyline).

Essentially, should I buy BZ? I enjoyed the first game a lot (despite taking roughly a year long hiatus because of burnout and life in general).

TL;DR Is it worth it to buy Subnautica BZ on sale despite the fact it seems worse in many regards to the original?

[novel gale]

Bz is not a bad game, definitely could be better, but it is worth a try

[jagged silo]

Pls give

[tawdry sapphire]

every review you see is 100% true and not exagerrating.

its underwhelming

[novel gale]

Still worth it

Its 7 bucks

The base building is much more customizable

[cloud shell]

Begging isn't tolerated here.

The game is on sale, and more affordable than ever before. If you want it. Buy it

[toxic ocean]

I thought it was fine, more subnautica to play.

I ignored the story tho

[fading panther]

No, please stop

[tawdry sapphire]

lost all credibility when you started listening to deftones

[novel gale]

What

[fading panther]

Bz is peak

[cloud shell]

Below zero isn't even a bad game. It's enjoyable and still fun.

[cloud shell]

🤝

[patent night]

im working on an interior area in bz can i get some feedback on what ive made so far

[toxic ocean]

the truck still works as a mobile base, but you can't go on very long expeditions since it can't recharge.

but again, I am a massive BZ vehicle glazer

[cloud shell]

Not bad

[patent night]

what could be improved

i have more space in the large room for a bathroom and office that im making

[cloud shell]

well first of all id say you should probably get some plants in the planter atleasr

[patent night]

well yea

[cloud shell]

some are kinda missing a few bits

[patent night]

im still thyinking which ones i should use

[cloud shell]

you could use some of the ones from sn1

you could also take a screenshot of the map from delta station and hang it up in a picture frame

i certainly did that

[patent night]

thats smart

i wanted to frame thast somwhere

idk where

[cloud shell]

you got a research room or somethin?

[patent night]

i wanna keep this one cuz its just so peak

[cloud shell]

wowie

[patent night]

office but its not really that spacious\

[cloud shell]

honestly i want to make a room in like a multipurpose and just, frame every biome and leviathan

[patent night]

heres where the office would be

[cloud shell]

hm, you could put in a toilet down that small stretch at the left, honestly id say just use a multipurpose room for an office and make that a bathroom type area

[patent night]

waht is a toiler

[cloud shell]

toilet

[patent night]

already have a bathroom area im working on

[cloud shell]

ah i see,

Okay, ive got a good idea actually

place spotlights outside your base, and fly a camera drone infront of them. take a screenshot whilst your in the camera, and use that to create a " fake " cctv footage board, like an actual camera system

[patent night]

what the genius

i dont have a scanner room in this base yet

so that office could be like

[cloud shell]

nah keep that space as the office,

use the scanner as like a tech room

[patent night]

would the map also go into this security office

of alterra stations

[cloud shell]

yeah maybe

[patent night]

where should scanner room go

[cloud shell]

id say next to the moonpool maybe

[patent night]

replace observatory?

[cloud shell]

yeah ig

[patent night]

it cant

not enough room

[cloud shell]

ah

is there anywhere else you could put one?

[weary sluice]

Can't you just take a bunch of power cells with you?

[cloud shell]

i usually keep batteries / power cells in the fabricator module

[patent night]

idk

YES

i can put it on the other side of the control room

[cloud shell]

[weary sluice]

I did read that the storage kinda sucks, how bad is it tho?

[cloud shell]

i might try cook up my own base in bz

[cloud shell]

the fabricator module storage is.. subpar

[weary sluice]

What about the storage module?

[cloud shell]

its pretty good, a few lockers.

you always end up needing more than one though

[weary sluice]

Alr, looks great then

[toxic ocean]

Yeah I did that, it’s convenient that sometimes you can find power cells in wrecks

[cloud shell]

i got like 4 from the large ||mercury|| wreck

[jolly nebula]

I realized today that if you drop a bunch of items they can go over the pda

[hybrid steppe]

yo guys help where can I find lots of lead?

[eternal garnet]

twisty bridges, thermal spires (delta island biome). Scaner room: galena

[patent night]

wait what does the spotlight do

[eternal garnet]

spotlight is gone,. there's a bar light, and light sticks

[cloud shell]

light

[cloud shell]

it is????????????

[patent night]

cameras have lights

the screenshots dont look good tho

[cloud shell]

augh

[eternal garnet]

also red light source: spores from deep lilypads

[patent night]

i could just have the cameras out

[quick jay]

hi

[eternal garnet]

monkeys steal cameras, and also light sticks

[patent night]

base is in purple vents

[chrome cedar]

I usually have my scanner room close to where I typically enter the base from. A small number of times I actually had it as a standalone room with a hatch, not connected to the main base but close enough that it was on the same grid and shared power.

[patent night]

i mean i found a place for it

next to control room

[chrome cedar]

I love that biome, but was disappointed when I built my base there. The area never actually gets dark (even at night) and always has that light blue water color. If it had gotten more black those purple vents would have been spectacular. I never really realized it didn't get dark until I built my base and was watching out the window. LOL

[patent night]

i still like the area

[chrome cedar]

Agreed

[patent night]

good for building and resources

so much lithium

who cares if it ever gets dark its still beautiful\

[chrome cedar]

I do go through a lot of lithium when I'm building my bases. I love large bases with many stacked large rooms. Also go through a lot of lead for foundations. There's a lot more lead than people realize.

[patent night]

stacking large rooms is my pet peeve

[chrome cedar]

How so?

[patent night]

looks bulky

not sleek

i wish the devs added those mini large rooms that are in alterra bases where instead of a 4x2 large room its a 3x2 large room

those are so good

[chrome cedar]

I firmly believe that any artificial obect in the game be scannable and craftable. Rooms, ramps, signposts, forklift... Hoping this is the case for SN2.

[patent night]

imagine cave base building like in the ice monster area with the security guard

[chrome cedar]

I agree that the rooms can look bulky. But they also give a base some weight, as if many people worked or lived there.

I've got some other good pics on my system at home, thought they were still on my phone.

[patent night]

id much rather have a sleek design than a bulkier design

thats why mini large rooms could be so good

[chrome cedar]

I’ve done flat bases too.

The mini-large room would have been excellent.

[patent night]

so u like more industrial stuff

making it seem like an alterra base

[chrome cedar]

Exactly.

[patent night]

i like bases that really highlight the fact that ur alone

only stuff that i will need

[chrome cedar]

Those are usually the scanner outposts I scatter around the map. Scanner with a hatch and some solar panels. A multipurpose room if I need bio power.

[patent night]

i usually have 1 main base which has literally everything i want or need

i dont usually have outposts

[chrome cedar]

Like I said, those are just scanners usually. I haul everything (resources) back to my main complex.

That's the great thing about these games, you can build however suits you.

[patent night]

fr

[chrome cedar]

I'm always sad though that I can't use the repair tool to fix the abandoned bases I come across. That would have been cool.

[patent night]

i like how theyre broken down

i wish i could use everything inside those bases back at my own

imagine being able to place your own alterra crates

[chrome cedar]

Yes, that would open up so many options.

But then you really would need the forklift...

[patent night]

what are the coolest plants to put in ur base

[chrome cedar]

I usually have at least one of everything edible on the inside. Outside I usually only have things that are useful in crafting, but sometimes I go crazy and get some of everything. That's when having a large foundation comes in handy.

[patent night]

thats whatb im doing

[chrome cedar]

I've always been fond of the lantern tree, always like to have some of them around.

[patent night]

ok nice

[fervent bloom]

I'm the sort of person who would incorporate all available plants into a base, but some of my favorites are frost vase plants and horseshoe shrubs when indoors or on land and antennae plants when underwater. The latter are small but very colorful, and they fill up space nicely.

[patent night]

where are antennae plants

bruh

[fervent bloom]

They're in the shallow caves in the ||Lilypad Islands|| that are inhabited by sea monkeys, as well as in a growbed outside ||Omega Lab||.

[patent night]

ok perfect

thankjs

[fervent bloom]

Of course! Make sure you slice them for seeds, as you can't plant the fruit, for whatever reason.

[patent night]

can they grow inside

[red quail]

Does anyone know if there is a way to deploy the mobile vehicle bay without being in water?

[cloud shell]

You cant

It has to be placed in water

[steel stream]

Yes, in alien containment growbed. It's quite simple, if it grows underwater naturally, you plant it underwater. And if it grows in dry land naturally, you plant it in dry environment. (Note also purple or green background on seeds)

[split folio]

you can; prop cannon

[deep falcon]

Do I need to find every || artifact || to continue the story, like building || al-an's body || and stuff like that

[split folio]

at least you can in sn1

never tried in bz

[steel stream]

No. Technically you don't need to find artifacts to complete the game, but scanning them gives|| hints for body part locations and alien tech. There are 15 artifacts, but you don't get any rewards after scanning 10.||

[deep falcon]

well i found an artifact before getting the location for it, and how do you disactivate || that forcefield ||, because i heard something about it
