[eternal garnet]

ahh bit of a spoiler, that

you will find it

[ashen sluice]

||is it the frozen leviathan?|| I do recall seeing crystals in there

Noted

[eternal garnet]

hint here: Did you visit the pilot? ||Just next to her home, there's a very deep hole||

[inner fractal]

what the crab buggin

[ashen sluice]

I’m trying to find her but I can’t seem to find her base, I’ve checked the area around the signal, all there is is just ||squid sharks and holes that lead to more fallen lilies||

[eternal garnet]

right. Go to the beacon, head ||down the tunnel to the NW. Target at 360m. There is no door, find another way||

Drop a beacon there

[ashen sluice]

Noted

[eternal garnet]

so you'd want at least depth upgrade 1

[dull grotto]

Hey so, question||
How is Marguerit alive?
I don't mean how she survived the reaper, no.
How does her habitat have any power?

I see no power source, so how is the habitat able to produce oxygen?
She should be dead from asphyxiation, no?
||

[steel stream]

There is a thermal plant site nearby, but not sure if there's line of power transmitters 🤷‍♂️

[dull grotto]

While that is true, all of the thermal plants and the power transmitters are broken

[orchid mirage]

Do squid sharks respawn?

[bold monolith]

I'll give you the short answer here. No.

[orchid mirage]

great to hear

i love their concept and design

but they're so annoying

[bold monolith]

The long answer says they do but if they are attacked by creatures, and even so there are probably some attacks that don't trigger it.

For instance sharks in the first game respawn if they are bitten but if they are killed by a tiger plant they don't.

[orchid mirage]

I have one way to kill them

Seatruck and repair tool

does it work?

[bold monolith]

It will yes.

Especially since collisions are bugged.

[orchid mirage]

ill just have to hit him before he takes my power away

[dull grotto]

ey Ignis, you're here

Do you happen to know why the knife lets you cut down the most recent creepvine you grew from any distance?

[orchid mirage]

They defenitely didnt like that. There's like 3 of them together

[bold monolith]

Yes it's a race condition.

I have a video for it on SN1.

https://youtu.be/rgvehAV2fWE

But it's the same for BZ.

Of course you don't have to do it frenetically as I did but I really wanted to trigger it there.

[dull grotto]

Oh, you're just showing how it's a race condition, not what the condition is XD

[bold monolith]

The thing is, creepvines in the wild are unloaded when you go far from them. So you have to stay in range.

Which isn't the case in growbeds.

Growbeds and their content are global objects, they're always loaded.

[bold monolith]

It's just that the target stays on the creepvine.

[steel stream]

Could this also be explanation for this:
#below-zero-chat message

[bold monolith]

I don't think so. Once the creepvine is gone the target is a null gameobject.

[dull grotto]

ooh, so it's literally just not changing the target, gotcha

[ivory pasture]

Guys where to find spiral plant clipping

[ashen sluice]

You can find them in the ||vent garden||

[grand haven]

They also exist somewhere in ||the Purple Vents biome||

[olive phoenix]

can you raise the seamonkeys inside an alien containment system

[steel stream]

Yes

[olive phoenix]

where can i find their eggs

[steel stream]

In their nests

[olive phoenix]

ty

[narrow cliff]

Is there any way to produce infinite green cubes like in SN1?

[olive phoenix]

bro i cant find a place to put my moonpool in

why did i build in twisty bridges bro 😭

[steel stream]

No

[olive phoenix]

finnaly found a spot , not that convenient for my prawn though

[bold monolith]

Try to tell you that your location is peak maybe that will help. #below-zero-chat message

[steel stream]

Build foundation a bit under it?

[olive phoenix]

how did i not think of this

Is it just me or does the prawn consume more power in bz?

[dull grotto]

probably just because there's no energy efficiency module

[olive phoenix]

i just saw a a big fish eat one of those cryptosuchus's , should i be scared?

it looks like a leviathan

[dull grotto]

sounds like you found someone who wants to be your friend

[olive phoenix]

You sure ? it almost ate my seatruck whole

[dull grotto]

sounds friendly enough, yea

[grand haven]

Lol

[dull grotto]

If you think I'm being serious, let me clarify that I'm not XD
It's clearly a carnivour, it will kill you on sight.

It's just as friendly as the Ghost Leviathan in Subnautica is

[olive phoenix]

Should i try riding it? like the old woman rode a reaper leviathan

might work honestly

[dull grotto]

you mean the old woman that lives in a habitat that shouldn't be producing oxygen?

You're just a human, she's clearly something more that has no need for oxygen.

[olive phoenix]

damn

anyways gotta go find alan's body or whatever

how come none of the old leviathans are in below zero do none of them just live here

[dull grotto]

correct, it's a completely different part of the planet

[olive phoenix]

what about the sea emperor juveniles , shouldnt they be in all parts of the planet

[terse granite]

hi

[olive phoenix]

Does the reinforced diving suit keep you warm on the surface?

[toxic ocean]

No, there’s a different suit for that

Dive suit halves major damage and negates minor damage

Its also heat resistant

[south steeple]

Early game yeah, but for your main base i'd choose the thermal spires ngl

Especially since it has an insane thermal spot

With like 250 degrees

[olive phoenix]

I'm pretty close near a thermal spires , I think i could connect my base to it and use it as a energy source

Anyone know where i can find snowstalkers?

[dense plank]

on the snow

[toxic ocean]

Northeast

[dense plank]

or west

[harsh rune]

land

[viral bronze]

Any1 know what to do? I got the game today and idk the objective if U know what I mena

Mean

[valid folio]

Just go deeper

[narrow cliff]

Is there a way for getting Al-AN to tell my the position of all body parts?

[polar shore]

You'll get markers by finding the alien artefacts around the map

The green markers, just go to them

[narrow cliff]

Yes, but those are markers for artifact sites, not the body parts.

[amber hemlock]

There are a couple of markers that hint the direction to the ||alan body parts|| while one gives direct location of one site

[narrow cliff]

And those markers are the artifact sites or what?

[amber hemlock]

Two gives hints of the correct directions to the ||body parts ||sites

The game is about discovery and exploration, can't have markers to every location

[narrow cliff]

I already found 10 artifact sites.

[steel stream]

You get beacon marker for only one. For other two, you get some hints, and then another hint when you get closer to them.

[narrow cliff]

Found the last one ||crystal caves||

[obtuse vapor]

so I just replaced the terrain files of bz with the one from the first game

suprisingly enough it works

well works in huge ""

[obtuse vapor]

if you are wondering what I am doing

I am trying to put the cyclops in bz

and add the seamoths texture back

[dense plank]

forget the seamoth lol just leave it at the cyclops

[visual tapir]

When Below Zero will become available on Mobile?

[steel stream]

Haven't heard any plans from the devs about this🤷‍♂️

[eternal lotus]

what am i supposed to do

[bold monolith]

The lifepod seems to be in the opposite direction so I would just use the air bladder and go.

The air bladder is usually very effective to dodge the leviathans.

[visual tapir]

Kill or Surrender or Run

💀💀💀💀💀

[carmine bobcat]

He prefers sharks to you

Wait for them to attack something then make a break for it

Or swim near something else and hope it targets that over you.

[olive phoenix]

After completing Marguerit's greenhouse thing , where do i need to go?

Do i have to visit the lab's on the map i get?

[steel stream]

You don't have to visit a lot of places, but they can give blueprints and lore🤷‍♂️

[marsh swan]

Do stasis rifle exist in below zero?

[bold monolith]

No.

[marsh swan]

How am I gonna kill the leviathans then?

[bold monolith]

You have ways but that isn't what the games are about.

[olive phoenix]

To construct the snowfox do i need the snowfox vehicle pad? And do i have to make it on land

[grand haven]

Yes and yes

[olive phoenix]

ty

what do i need the snowfox for even , havent encountered anything worth of using it

[bold monolith]

If you don't see the interest then you don't have to build it.

[grand haven]

It's just a vehicle for getting around

You can also use a Prawn suit

[olive phoenix]

alr

[grand haven]

There are also options to stay warm on foot, like the cold suit, the occasional geysers, and those peppers

I guess the salad is also really op

[olive phoenix]

umm

rip seatruck

[marsh swan]

How do I get my sea truck into its dock?

[olive phoenix]

just drive it into the opening

[marsh swan]

Oh I forgot to put in electricity

[grand haven]

Lol

[barren atlas]

itl just fall through the ground if you go from the load range

[steel stream]

If you want all achievements...

But snowfox is also kinda fun to drive around (once you get used to the steering)

[toxic ocean]

You can store it in your inventory and it warms you up when you ride it, so it makes arctic travel a lot more convenient

Prawn also works for land exploration too

[marsh swan]

What is this?

@steel stream

[steel stream]

Looks like the mining site. Rails are for carts to move ores (cannot use them though, so basically decoration)

[barren atlas]

fast land exploration, dont go too fast tho youl crash

[violet kettle]

prawn suit is way better in surface exploration imo

[barren atlas]

snowfox in the arctic spires was horrible ex patch, they now patched it ,it is changed that it is now a slim chance to be hopped of the snowfox when attacked by the ice worm

[barren atlas]

except you litteraly cant get it through some locations💀 you already have to squeeze it through a cave to get it to the basin

[violet kettle]

you can walk on walls tho

i jst cheese the whole thing

[barren atlas]

devs are afraid of you

[olive phoenix]

why is the seamoth in below zero

and its just neon white now

[bold monolith]

Because it isn't really in Below Zero.

[olive phoenix]

yeah but why add the option to spawn it

[bold monolith]

The code base from BZ was originally Subnautica 1. So assets were leftovers. They removed the textures because that's what takes space.

[olive phoenix]

oh thats cool

[bold monolith]

A mesh in comparison doesn't take a lot.

[barren atlas]

the seatruck didnt exist early in the development

you can see in the early concept art there are both the seamoth and cyclops in sector zero

the seatruck was created after they realized the cyclops was too large for the map

[olive phoenix]

Where can i make the seatruck modules , they dont appear in the fabricator or upgrade console?

[barren atlas]

vehicle bay

[olive phoenix]

ty

[orchid beacon]

Yuh it gives thermal protection too

So do other vehicles though

But it’s cooler… probably…

Plus you can recharge your prawn suit with steam vents though it’s pretty slow

Idk if you can do that with snow fox

I never really used it

[steel shoal]

No, but the Snowfox is powered by batteries, you can swap them like a tool, and the pad doesn't need power to charge it very fast (as well as fully repair)

[olive phoenix]

What is that?

...

[violet kettle]

||chelicarateasete|| sorry for bad spelling

[olive phoenix]

atleast my perimeter defense works against it

what is she talkin bout 😭 i aint see no one

oh

[obtuse vapor]

the seamoth is already in the code

I would just need to recode the texture loading

[eternal lotus]

||first time building a seatruck||

[olive phoenix]

Nice , no need to spoiler it i think.

[obtuse vapor]

nah I think unless you talk about the ||delta station|| or later you are fine

[west zenith]

Is it possible or is the start and to find new upgrades more difficult than in the base game

[eternal garnet]

this doesn't quite compute. It's a different game. It's not super hard to find. But do scan every monkey nest

also in the lilypads biome

[south summit]

whenever i open below zero my computer ruins the immersion by making my room 60*c

[west zenith]

It was difficult to get in, but I think, now that I can build a base and a vehicle it will get better. What’s monkey nest?

[eternal garnet]

sea monkey nests

they collect things. Fragments

[west zenith]

Ah ok

I like the mechanics with oxygen regain from flowers, but it feel strange to dive 300m+ so early after starting the game (1,5hrs)

Is there any place (to be) where I should build a base? Now that I have the base building tool?

[eternal garnet]

Delta island is very central. Near that

[cloud sigil]

ive build my base near omega, pretty good for materials imo, only down side is going to phi

[empty lava]

Nevermind

[toxic ocean]

i borrowed subnautica below zero from the library again, it's so good to drive a seatruck once again

I've designed all my vehicles after sea monster hunters from an anime mobile game

[calm cloak]

hmmmm, 110hours

[cloud sigil]

havent even got all acheivements yet?

know its not the game but its what counts

[dense plank]

for the snowfox conversation earlier, sorry the prawn is just better
even though the grapple arm exploit was changed it still works on land and ends up being insanely useful for that segment
like its not even the controls its the actual movement the thing has

ive played multiple times now (and tried to get it to work a bunch too) and i still cant stand using it

i love the concept but the execution is not good

i thought i had more videos of obnoxious snowfox moments but thats the only one i took this playthrough

[west zenith]

Dunno what this exactly means ☺️. I’ll gather some ideas, can’t play until tomorrow evening anyway

[steel shoal]

I think it depends on the player. I find the Prawn Suit very unfun. The Snowfox, even if objectively worse, is super fun to pilot, that is why I use it so much.

I like that there's an option

[eternal lotus]

im dead

[toxic ocean]

100m deep? looks like air bladder range to me

[bold monolith]

That's what I advised them yesterday when they posted the same picture.

[calm cloak]

Idk the || antidote ||

[dense plank]

i dont even know that you have to use an air bladder at 18 oxygen, you might be able to make it with the seaglide while ascending

[barren atlas]

@bold monolith what spawns it?

[bold monolith]

The rock punchers.

They spawn rocks, eat the rockgrubs on it, and toss the rock that you can break.

[steel stream]

But as ignis mentioned yesterday, air bladder (which shows on the hotbar btw) is faster and can usually dodge leviathans...

[dense plank]

yeah im not saying the seaglide is a better option but that seems to be a distance you could make without the air bladder

[steel stream]

It's not just the distance, it's also the leviathan...

[modest niche]

What the hell is a rock outcrop?

[modest niche]

Okay hear me out, the snowfox should’ve been able to glide across the surface of the sea for a short while

Dude I could mess with so many pengwings

[bold monolith]

A rock that gives you stuff.

[modest niche]

That’s 99% of the game

[fading panther]

Christmas rock

[bold monolith]

I guess so, but that one is named rock.

It can give you silver, gold, copper or titanium.

[modest niche]

Dude we all just want lead

[bold monolith]

I know. I tried.

[modest niche]

We want reinforcements

[fading panther]

Extract it from your body

[modest niche]

Everything must be made of glass

[bold monolith]

I made a ticket saying there should have been lead deposits in this game.

But since it wasn't a bug they didn't put a high priority on it.

[modest niche]

I get magnetite not having a deposit
But lead and lithium should’ve had some

They’re kinda high priority for base building

[marsh swan]

|| Will I be able to kill a chelicerate leviathan with a prawn suit?||

[steel stream]

Yes, but you don't have to...

[marsh swan]

hell yeah i will

the one in the purple vents is so annoying

[west zenith]

Is purple vent worth building a base or should Ingo for Lily biom

[eternal garnet]

worth yes, but don't build right on top of a vent

[proven lark]

110 hours and still only 13 achievements

[west zenith]

True could be a bad idea

[fiery surge]

yeah this happened to me as well, also if u do it right u can run on the walls with the prawn suit

[dense plank]

the snowfox can sometimes ride on harsh angles on particular surfaces but gl doing it without hitting something twice and losing half its health

[fiery surge]

prawn is so much better on land

[dense plank]

even just utility wise lol

[fiery surge]

i just need to find the frozen leviathon and dip rly rly fast

it takes no damage from snow stalkers so its justt easier doing the south land stuff

[dense plank]

plus theres 3 cube deposits in the middle of the ice sheet and its probably the most concentrated cube spot in the whole map

[fiery surge]

i found the frozen boi and the andidote but i cant find the ice cube any more

[dense plank]

the prawn does take damage from snow stalkers, its just not a lot

[fiery surge]

i dont use the ion stuff just be im lazy and paraniod ill run out of them

yeah i destroyed them

they got cooked

[dense plank]

recyclotron

[fiery surge]

also try to sling urself onto the walls bc u can travel the map like that rly easily

[dense plank]

youre not allowed to use it on partial batteries but you are allowed to make batteries out of used cubes and they still craft at full

[fiery surge]

this is random but have u 100% the game yet?

yeah

[dense plank]

no but ive done effectively everything

[fiery surge]

fair enough

what are u missing?

[dense plank]

i also dont have a metric to compare so i dont know at all what my percentage is

or what i have or dont

[fiery surge]

all i need is one snow stalker fur, and to find the leviathon

thats all

[modest niche]

Is there a limit to how many fish a grav trap can hold

And if so can I use multiple grav traps in the same proximity to hold more

I just think it’d be a good screenshot for my steam profile to have like 500 peepers just, there

[bold monolith]

12 objects.

[steel stream]

(So 500÷12=42 grav traps😜)

[terse granite]

hello.

[ancient pine]

you can also set game speed to 0.25 and remove the grav traps if you dont want them in the photo

[carmine bobcat]

Are there any deaf mods for subnautica

?

For deaf people

[violet kettle]

subtitles should work just fine for deaf people, thats in the vanilla game

[steel stream]

But how about subtitles for creature roars😅

[toxic ocean]

then even deaf people would hate the cryptosuchus

[harsh nebula]

Is Below Zero still in steam? Can't seem to find it

[modest niche]

Sir you are a gentlemen and a scholar

[leaden kiln]

playing through bz for the first time, and the problems it has are painfully obvious
its still good otherwise, but the map being so small, the databank being so painfully lackluster, and the voicelogs having their fair share of dei almost outweigh the games benefits enough

i also havent played through to ending so i dont personally know ||that sam’s negligence was in fact the downfall|| and ||that we just 180 from investigating sams death to going to some alien we just met’s homeworld||

[olive phoenix]

Yeah , its on sale right now too.

[dense plank]

i wont spoil the end but it is pretty anticlimactic and disappointing. as for the "dei" stuff... idk grow up? the voice acting kinda sucks but thats not because of a diverse cast of characters lol

[leaden kiln]

i am aware of the ending, and the dei moreso comes from the writing, not the casting

[dense plank]

i meant cast of characters

shouldve specified

alan is by far the best character voice, especially with his writing

[toxic ocean]

i agree, the dialogue writing is wack

[leaden kiln]

sam’s va also mustve been new to the job, one line really stuck out of place with how monotone she did it, especially following the line before

bz is a good game overall, but theres a lot of parts that really miss the mark, not even in comparison to sn1, just as a game

[fiery surge]

yep

[carmine bobcat]

^ I agree W this

BZ is extremely overhated but it's not like a hidden masterpiece or anything it's just more Subnautica, which is fine. It is a spin-off so the expectation for it shouldn't be too high

[leaden kiln]

the expectation is not to mix subnautica's fantastic databank entries with whatever bz's databank entries are, thats the glaring issue as a "new player"

[carmine bobcat]

BZ's data bank entries are objectively worse than SN1's but I don't read so it wasn't a problem for me

[leaden kiln]

they had both right there for comparison too, didnt remake to keep uniform quality, didnt update to make uniform quality, mixed fantastic and low effort

[carmine bobcat]

I wouldn't say anything in game development is low effort

But it certainly could've used more... Time, maybe?

[dense plank]

its absolutely not low effort. the game looks really good, the creature concepts are interesting, the story clearly had a lot of attention, and theres a lot of effort in the world itself
the problem is that its just... not right. sure, individual biomes look cool but they dont mesh like they did in the original, the concepts for the creatures are interesting but many feel half baked or are just annoying (why did they give a common creature a whole cutscene when it bites you 😭), the story was interesting at the start but loses most of that gusto after meeting ||margeurit|| and the ending just sucks, and the world design that went into it just isnt as interesting or fun as the original
to top it off, it pulled the weird modern triple a trick of having the main character literally say what you need to do next for a little bit and most of the voice acting could have been much better. tbf on that though the originals va kinda sucked too (cough, yu)
ultimately i dont think its a bad game, its just. mediocre. it just didnt expand on the right elements from the original and made a bunch of small blunders. if you like it thats great, but personally i cant really genuinely recommend people play bz after the first

i think the prime example is the main gimmick being a temp meter that only matters if youre going out of the water. in a swimming game. a bunch of the bases and stuff kinda felt like a lure to get people out of the water so theyd have to interact with the temperature system, but even then either land vehicle completely negates the entire thing, and adding another meter to pay attention to is mostly an annoyance

there was also way too much justifying
so much of the interesting tidbits in bz are just clarifying particular things about the first instead of adding new parts. its a story, every detail doesnt need to be backed up

coulda been a lot better than it turned out but this is what we got

[leaden kiln]

i never said the game was low effort, i said the databank entries were

sn1 entries that were ported over: plenty of a lot of info
bz entries: one sentence

[modest niche]

I would argue they’re inconsistent

Like the pda voice logs can be super in depth

But then the entry for a plant is effectively just “it’s a plant” .-.

[carmine bobcat]

Well how else would we know that it's a plant

[modest niche]

My point really is that if you’re gonna add something to a game it shouldn’t end up being a “fill in”

Like violet b-something in sub1 was just a filler pretty looking plant

But it’s data entry was still like 2 paragraphs

[dense plank]

and despite all those words if youre looking for particular information about a thing its probably not going to be in the databank entry for it

[rugged lily]

Why is there || sea emperors || in the || lilypad islands || as wiki said

[modest niche]

That was in early access, it was removed

[dense plank]

that couldve been cool but i understand taking that out, thats a whole new can of worms

[west zenith]

Heya, any advice for seatruck modules? I heard it is really slow and not worth it from friends

[steel stream]

2 modules don't slow you down, 3 with horsepower upgrade

[west zenith]

Ok thx, 😘. So only 3 this will be difficult to decide 🤔

[steel stream]

Fabricator, storage and docking are quite popular choises

[west zenith]

Jeah thought the same, was thinking about aquarium in addition but dunno how useful it is, or if it is worth the speed loss

Then I also have food near, sad that only one fish can be consumed for water

[steel stream]

My latest run has been vegan: I start trip with inventory and lockers full of creepvine seed clusters and shrub nuts: these don't spoil, and when eaten free up inventory space for gathered materials

[modest niche]

I actually really like the seatruck modules, but I wish there was one for growing plants, and with it ending up being so long, it really doesn’t suit the tight terrain

[bold monolith]

They experimented with one in EA but it was cut. It was just a plant pot in the middle. Modules aren't really large enough to accommodate plants.

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Cut_Content_(Below_Zero)#Seatruck_Planter_Module

[carmine bobcat]

Would’ve been funny if the planter module was just obscenely large on the inside, like the doctor who thingy.

[bold monolith]

I am not familiar with Dr. Who, but it would probably be inconvenient if you want to dock it in the Seatruck Dock.

[ancient pine]

np

[steel stream]

Dr. Who's Tardis is the size of thelepone booth on the outside but relatively large room on the inside...so it would still dock as normal, only the inside would be larger😜

[bold monolith]

A bit like the tents in Harry Potter?

Alright.

[ancient pine]

what do you mean relatively its got a collapsing star in the centre

[steel stream]

Everything's relative😅

[modest niche]

I was thinking more like wall planters that actually work as growbeds

[steel stream]

I immediately thought of fevered pepper plant growing horizontally from the wall😅

[modest niche]

Kinda crazy how the best food item in the game is a salad, and also doesn’t spoil

I keep a bunch of different food in my fridge just the rp

[outer hazel]

is playing sub below zero worth it

[fading panther]

Yes

[olive phoenix]

yeah , not as good as subnautica but its still really good in what it does.
The story is really good too.

[toxic ocean]

Yeah, its extra subnautica

[west zenith]

I think you can’t directly compare both. They have different setting/vehicles/receipts and flora/fauna. They share the base buildings and the survival aspect.

From my perspective it’s more difficult than the base game because you have to find the rebreather ( I found it by accident it’s 170m deep and I would have never searched there intentionally ), and the fragments are more spreaded (caves/deep zones) exploring wrecks is not the same as in SN1 and much more.

[neon gale]

can u guys pls help me

so i havent played on my world in a long time and i kinda forgot what i had to do

i have a prawn suit but idk what to do with it

oh, and also i remeber i explored ||under the woman's island||

[harsh nebula]

||womans island??||

Oh wait nvm i thought this was sn1 chat

Lads i got it

Should i finish SN1 first before playing this

[sterile marsh]

lore talking or utility talking?

[neon gale]

i feel like im rushing the story

and not getting every upgrade possible

[sterile marsh]

the prawn is a great vehicle to explore the land, and to gather materials for a big base, usually you dont want to finish the game with it (going to the big creatures zones) since you have a seatruck that can stun them instead...

[sterile marsh]

if you want to 100% the game but dont know how you should search on wiki the specific things, or we risk to spoiler something

[harsh nebula]

What's the difference of the sea truck and the seamoth

[sterile marsh]

or ask to us the specific

[neon gale]

seatruck has like modules to pot them on it

[sterile marsh]

seatruck is only on BZ and is expandable, seamoth is only normal SUB and its only one piece

[harsh nebula]

Oh wow

[neon gale]

i hate running out of copper mid crafting tree

where do u craft the ||arhitect components||?

[sterile marsh]

in the architect fabricator, you found it into the fabricators caves, you can get there by passing from the crystals caves

you need to reach the deep part of crystals caves first then search where there are red crystals and go deeper

[neon gale]

how do i get ||hydraulic fluid||?

[sterile marsh]

you can craft it i think, you just need to scan the broken cells near the place where you need it...

[sterile marsh]

if you have prawn but dont even know how to pass the hydraulic fluid craft trust me... you are not rushing anything... 😂

stay calm and enjoy😊

[neon gale]

idk first time playing it just feels like a lot of story in little gameplay

[sterile marsh]

it depends if you already found the second npc apart the woman

lol...

[neon gale]

could u stop giving spoilers

cus no i didnt yet

[sterile marsh]

i didnt spoil anything, i if i did im sorry man... you really thought you were alone with her in that zones... alterra was there way before you...

alterra its the reason you are going there...

[toxic ocean]

scan the broken can on the floor

[west zenith]

Lead is a nightmare, you need this for literally everything 😵‍💫😤

[sterile marsh]

yep, you better use scan in brute shark zone or criptosucus zone to get it

[west zenith]

Thx at first I thought about using the scanner room but for HID chip you need magnetite and I couldn’t find some yet

Seems it is somewhere in a deeper biome from a later part of the game

[sterile marsh]

um, not really, there is a biome where you can get it faster, just search, but yeah... i agree that its a bit brutal to get (the lead i mean)

[west zenith]

Nah I meant magnetite. Lead is close to start biome but hart to find 😅

[fluid minnow]

Will Subnautica Below Zero be available on phones?

[rocky temple]

Where should I build my base

[eternal garnet]

Near delta. it's central

[rocky temple]

Ok

[echo kernel]

Anywhere you like it, tho ||ice spires||, especially further away from water are one if Best looking and safest biomes

[fiery surge]

i do in between the delta island and the lifepod

[leaden kiln]

got a glitch, cant pick up a poster i put in a large room on a partition

[modest niche]

im based up east of delta, next to the twisty whatevers

[harsh nebula]

Hey guys its my first time playing, any tips? (Im like 80% done with SN1, i just started BZ)

[leaden kiln]

beacons
so many beacons

partly for “ive been here” and mostly for “where do i go next”

[compact citrus]

And to keep track of biomes if you get easily lost

[neon gale]

where should i o next? i went to the ||arctic area|| and found the ||leviathans under the ice||. i explored the ||wreked ship|| (idk if there are multiple) and up to ||arhitect artefact pk2 (the ion battery one)||

[bold monolith]

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/subnautica/comments/1ojrm3d/would_you_rather/

I remember trying this with flowering spores, but instead I just dropped them randomly around.

[bold monolith]

||There is no specific artifact for unlocking the alien technologies||. They unlock after you scan a certain amount. If you explored the sanctuary you have to find ||the alien body parts||. Only one has a signal the others you have to explore and he will tell you when you're around one.

[neon gale]

oh

i didnt know that

[bold monolith]

As for ||Marguerit, you finish her quest when you are in her greenhouse||.

And the ||Frozen Leviathan, you can finish what Sam was doing||. In less explosive ways.

[neon gale]

what was that again? i forgot

||margaret's quest || i mean

[bold monolith]

||Disabling the radio tower.||

If you visited the ||greenhouse|| you've done that.

Note, just because some people are confused. ||Her base isn't a greenhouse.||

[neon gale]

is that the one in the ||lilypad caves||?

[bold monolith]

That's ||her base||.

[neon gale]

i visited that and the one on the island

[bold monolith]

Which island? An iceberg?

[neon gale]

i guess so

with the pole thingy

[bold monolith]

No, that isn't an iceberg.

You're speaking about Delta Station here.

[neon gale]

yeah, but also where is the ||greenhouse||?

[bold monolith]

When you finish ||her|| quest, ||she will tell you||.

[neon gale]

so what was it

oh nvm i cant read

thanks

[bold monolith]

The thing ||she wants? She wants you to disable the radio tower||.

You have a module you have to scan, and recraft. With ingredients you can find in the wrecks.

Then you plug it in in the ||radio tower, activate the test mode and she'll be happy||.

[neon gale]

uhm so i have a problem, i have no animations of entering/leaving my base and vehicles

actually only base

and i can move while i am in my inventory?

i only have the map mod and it's been fine until now

and i've left and rejoined

[neon gale]

and also my map mod doesnt register new explored land

[leaden kiln]

anyone got a solution?

[bold monolith]

Maybe.

Send your global-objects.bin.

[neon gale]

how do i ||leave 4546B||?

ive ||built al-an|| and ||cured the frozen leviathan||

[steel stream]

The first one of these should have given you beacon signal to go to.

[neon gale]

yeash ur right i didnt see it

[prisma hollow]

Al-an will be your companion buddy

[olive phoenix]

oh wow thats a beautiful base

[west zenith]

Currently I am tied between SN1 and SNBZ, both have their pros/cons

[leaden kiln]

sorry on delay, but here

its the virus framed art, should be

[bold monolith]

Replace when you're in the main menu.

I moved it a bit on the left. It is now at a very annoying place.

But at least you can pick it up.

[leaden kiln]

thank you

[toxic ocean]

so that art just always has that issue?

[eternal garnet]

no it's an inner wall issue

[fiery surge]

i agree

ive beaten all the land stuff but know i just need to find the docking modle so that i can bring the prawn with me to beat the game.

[violet raven]

wdym

[fiery surge]

so i can use the seatruck to travel and use the prawn to get the kryonite and go to the facilites

[violet raven]

Oh wait im in below zero chat

Whoops

[fiery surge]

yep

[fiery surge]

ok i hate the angry things in the purple vents they are so anouying and yeah

[leaden kiln]

want a tip? ||you dont need the prawn to get kyanite|| the facilities idk about though

[modest niche]

airbladder is goat'd, beacons are a way of life, when you eventually get charge fins theyre actually so useful

[split folio]

keep a spare tank on you when you're under 200m

just remember to fill it first

also don't forget to save

[toxic ocean]

Max creature aggression is fun for a second playthrough but my god does it mess things up

A ||shadow leviathan|| chased me out of the ||crystal caves|| and now is stranded at the purple vents

[slim grove]

lol you can trap creatures this way

[toxic ocean]

They can SWIM?

[leaden kiln]

probably everyones blind reaction

[leaden kiln]

i think im near the end, but:
||once i make alans body and cure the leviathan skeleton, is there anything left?
ive already visited all of the outposts, ive done 10 artifacts, i think i have most pdas, and ive been to all of the main architect spots||

[carmine bobcat]

Nope

That's the end of the game

Well, almost the end ||you just need to go through the portal now||

[leaden kiln]

thats surprisingly short, fair amount of content for the hours to be fair, but no real replayability, and everything is too crammed to try and add “more”

in sn1, you had such a big space it was worthwhile to make scanner outposts, with biome observatories and charging stations, but in bz its all too dang close to even consider making much of your own impact on sector zero
from my experience in both

[bold monolith]

There are worse games in term of replayability. Good games.

Look at Outer Wilds.

[modest niche]

I just started making a dozen aquariums.
Like both the literal “aquariums” and alien containment.

And I am still very annoyed I cannot put rockgrubs in aquariums

But regardless even if the planet gets nuked, I have built Noah’s ark in bz

[toxic ocean]

I began making extra bases in the west arctic and delta station

[cobalt parcel]

Been wondering. Ya know that tattoo Marguerit has on her left side of face? Been wondering if it's just character design or does it mean something. Couldn't find anythin' about it in the logs or so.

[celest mural]

@echo trail

[stray vortex]

I'm playing on PS5 and have the test override module. When revisiting Delta Island the tower is nowhere to be found. There's a floating desk or object but no tower to insert the module into.

I've restored the licence and reinstalled. After reinstalling, I downloaded my save from the cloud so maybe my save file is corrupted in some way?

[mighty parcel]

why does the prawn suit mk3 have less crush depth than the mk2

isnt the whole point... Improving the system

wait
both are the mk3
why does the bz one have 400 less meteres

[harsh rune]

yes

[spiral isle]

BZ is a smaller game. No need for a bigger one

[toxic ocean]

Game balancing, the prawn only needs to be able to go to the map’s deepest point

[steel stream]

(And not be able to go too deep unupgraded...)

[west zenith]

I dislike prawn it feels clunky walking in a mech 🙄.

[olive phoenix]

What is the worldedge biome?

oh

[latent nebula]

Hmm, now when you pointed it out...
Idk, I don't recall any mentions of her tattoos in in-game logs, so it might be just quirk of her character design.

Her character profile mentions some military/mercenary history so might be something from those times
Or traditions of here home colony

Or she just thought tattoos are cool

[cobalt parcel]

Her colony was Mongolian, or as I read, so I was tryna dig through some history and couldn't find anythin'

But thank you anyway🫂

[steel stream]

Nice glitches, but why on below zero chat?

[eternal garnet]

yes. It's probably Nitrox also, not glitch

[calm cloak]

i have a question, how do i put custom musics in subnautica bz?

[bleak sparrow]

How do i get multiplayer below zero (i know there is a discord if anyone is in the discord for it pls send me the discord in dms)

[steel stream]

You can try these links to modding server
#subnautica-modding

[tulip cosmos]

where can i find lithium early game?

i need the sea truck depth module

[steel stream]

Around delta island

(Or go see monkeys...)

[west zenith]

Easiest is close to delta island in the east some meter ito the vents biome

Laying on the seabed

Sea monkeys were great for magnetite. Just add only the scanner hud chip receipt and the chance is 50:50 to get it 😍

At least in the early game

I accidentally got into crystal cave from vents biom and got kyanite so I could finish truck depth module 3 immediately 😁. I upgraded directly from 1 -> 3, flex

[toxic ocean]

Purple vents are most common, just make sure to avoid the predators

[radiant vessel]

FINALLY

[severe olive]

think my seatruck is finished

[stray vortex]

Does anyone have a solution for this?

[calm cloak]

idk

[calm cloak]

send me a pic of where the tower is supposed to be

[calm cloak]

hmm

[violet kettle]

Im sure ignis would help

But hes asleep now i think

[stray vortex]

Alright cool. I'd like to get back to playing as I'm aiming for the platinum

[copper apex]

Is 1 or bz better

[rugged condor]

the floating table lol

[rugged condor]

both. i emotionally like 1 better but i think im biased from everyone saying oz sucks

but when i think back, it was fun. its 1 but better

[modest niche]

dude I personally love it but it has some VERY questionable design choices

like the seamoth wouldve fitted the environment better than the seatruck ever could cause its speedy and thin

plus reducing the normal swimming speed to make the world feel bigger

its just "clunky"

if you know what i mean

[toxic ocean]

I think 1 is better by a bit, but below zero isn’t lacking too much

[modest niche]

1 is better, bz maybe just needed more time in the oven

its still my personal favourite

reminder if it wasnt for bz, we wouldnt have large rooms

and my god bz let me make the perfect bedroom

only massive change id make to bz is, I want a keep calm kitty poster

whoever thought the kitty poster was not an integral part of the game is basically the devil

[toxic ocean]

There was a kitty poster, it just wasn’t the keep calm version

If it was up to my personal opinion though I like below zero more just because of the seatruck

[modest niche]

i want the keep calm version 😠

as a brit the "keep calm and carry on" motto is part of my DNA

therefor that makes me part keep calm kitty

and I shall not have my people excluded

also its just really bloody cute

[rugged condor]

ngl i had no idea any of these differences existed until u mentioned it

so idc. not rly. but sure

[modest niche]

yeah the only time I even noticed it before I thought "am I going bonkers", was when I was switching between swimming with a tool out and not

cause I know its only like a bit of a difference

but i just sensed it, way faster in sub 1

turns out i was right, they reduced the normal swimming speed

swimming without a tool in hand is a godsend in sub1 if you havent got flippers or seaglide yet

[west zenith]

After unlocking the cyclops in SN1 I wish I had seatruck. Its much more comfortable only missing a plant module and some PS more to have 5 modules w/o loosing speed.

[modest niche]

Less storage space, a more rugged design, can’t place interior growbeds, no thermal reactor module, no modular speed system, you’ve gotta trade speed (which also means ENERGY) to have a damn bed, and worst of all WORST OF ALL.
It collides with everything whilst fauna can phase through terrain

I’m playing on current patch and I see leviathans just coming out of rocks

And because the layout of the environment, you couldn’t even use a cyclops

Everything’s way too narrow vertically

Like think about it this way and I mean really think

This is a game where hardcore is a core gamemode, and taking the main vehicle into the place you are required to go to finish the game, if you have more than maybe 3 modules, you get stuck on the crystals and die

I love bz but to pretend like it’s beyond criticism is crazy

The stupidest thing is that the seamoth is actually perfectly suited to bz’s terrain

Not to mention the complete and sudden atmospheric pallet changes

Like going from dark green to almost a bright orange in the deep lily pads

I hate to be that guy but whilst I’ve spent more time in bz than sub1, devs should’ve been given more time, more funding, more admiration

That being said, as someone who got gifted fallout 76 by their own brother, I’d gift bz to my own mother

Pengwings are the cutest little things

[west zenith]

I like it, it offers enough storage space. Speed is also ok if you stick to 3 or 4 modules max (with HP upgrade), collision model could be improved that’s true.

Only the missing interior growbed is a valid point against. Energy wise it ok after I changed to ion batteries

[west zenith]

I don’t do that I just mentioned that I prefer sea truck over cyclops 😅

[next dragon]

honestly i like bz more

its got like, more stuff and things

hey guys ive got a question

if i start a custom game, will the story run through?

[steel stream]

I think there's actually selection for story on/off in custom mode.

[modest niche]

Okay here’s the issue right, you’re making a point about efficiency, when we’re talking about modules that include an aquarium and a bed

Obviously you just run storage, fabricator, and the prawn suit docking modules

Like, obviously, and then you use the 1 upgrade that makes it so it doesn’t even slow you down

But by making the unnecessary modules so harmful to use, they’re worse than useless

Which was not a case with the cyclops

You could practically run everything
Hell even after it got patched, you could still use power cell chargers if you parked above a thermal vent and had the upgrade

[toxic ocean]

True

[west zenith]

Bed is useless, I’ve never slept in any session or used the jukebox, but that’s my point of view.

If it’s important for you, then yes it’s annoying that you can’t take it w/o a downside. Aquarium is kind of „meh“ random catching of fishes is also inefficient for food/water, but it looks nice 🥰.

I only use fabricator/storage and aquarium. I don’t use prawn suit, so no need for docking module.

The two ion power cells lasts long enough for a great exploration session, I have 2 in backup for really long trips. Same for batteries, I do not need a charger in the „mobile base“.

If there would be a need to sleep I would switch the aquarium for sleeper module.

There are plenty of fish for food everywhere

[wet gate]

is BZ worth it to buy?

[west zenith]

For me yes

[wet gate]

ill just buy it rn

I need fun in my life

[west zenith]

😁 have fun with it

[wet gate]

I will

Time to get severe depressions because of a leviathan suddenly appearing behind me

[wet gate]

ive been looking at it ever since I started playing sn1

I kinda already know the story but that didnt stop me from loving sn1

[west zenith]

I had fun in SN1 until I got the cyclops.

[wet gate]

I never used the cyclops tbf

I didnt like it, I prefered the seamoth and eventually the prawnsuit

[west zenith]

Exactly, that’s why I like BZ because you can use the truck till the end 🤩

[wet gate]

lovelyyyy

[toxic ocean]

at its core it's still subnautica content

[modest niche]

Sleeper module can be useful, healing, letting power build up especially if using solar panels, aliens mating in containment.
It’s a convenience. It’s just not worth the speed decrease.

[west zenith]

This things count for a main base and are true but in a mobile base while exploring I don’t need to skip the night or faster charging, so it doesn’t make sense to me

[modest niche]

As I mentioned previously, if you’re tryharding there is an optimal setup, storage, fab, docking, with 1 horsepower module.
But I don’t think I could count it as a mobile base, if I can’t have creature comforts like an aquarium and a bed.

Especially when if you do hypothetically add all of the pieces, it’s so long it can’t move through tight passageways.

[west zenith]

In general it is planned to carry them with you, but detach them before entering caves. And re-dock them if you leave.

But I found this much more comfortable as this clunky immobile big cyclops

[modest niche]

This is going to sound childish, but I’d probably be okay with that so long as like, they kept power enough to replenish oxygen for 30 minutes

Cause it’s not like I can go back to my bed and aquarium without drowning

[west zenith]

? So you want to let your truck inside the cave an want to swim outside to take a nap? 🤔

[modest niche]

Okay here’s my logic.
If you’re saying it’s a mobile base. But I can’t move it in the crystal caves cause it’s too long with the bed and aquarium.
Then it’s not a mobile base.

The most effective way it’s a mobile base is just using the storage module to house the materials for a base

[west zenith]

I was in there with 3 modules attached and it was ok. But I didn’t tested it with more

[modest niche]

First aid kits are practically finite because how much space it takes to fabricate each one

[modest niche]

With 5 it can get really buggy

Look I’m just saying it would be nice if the bed, could have its own power cell or something

[west zenith]

It isn’t designed to use 5 modules permanently. That’s the only thing I pointed out that is really bad

[modest niche]

The same way in sub1 we parked the seamoth outside of wrecks to have oxygen without having to go to the surface, we could use it like that

[modest niche]

Yeah all I’m saying it’s that it isn’t a mobile base, cause if it was then you could use it like that

[west zenith]

And I said if you don’t use things you don’t really need (sleeper/aquarium) it’s quite nice. If I would need more I would build a true base

If the truck is to big than a cyclops would never fit 😅

I get your point, but that’s your personal preference of a mobile base and it’s not designed like that

[fast viper]

fish

[west zenith]

Nor the environment

Most spaces in caves are designed that you better de-attach everything and use only the truck main module.

Like the moth

[west zenith]

You can

[modest niche]

Nah I agree I just hate the whole “it’s a mobile base” argument.
Like the cyclops literally was, you could double stack wall lockers along the entire lower section, then have space for battery charger, a bedroom, prawn/seamoth docked, etc

I dunno I feel like it’s modularity ends up being a downside

[west zenith]

You can store cook and take the prawn, everything else is a bonus

[modest niche]

There’s no reason to use them, but I want to use them

Like they exist, they shouldn’t exist but also be useless

Okay I do wanna say, I personally prefer bz, I’m not trying to hate on it

It’s cause I love it

Like omg the base building

Completely useless but I get to choose between like a dozen different bed designs

And I made a bathroom with a shower and everything

[spiral isle]

The base building and farming/food improvements are really great in BZ. Was a huge fan of it

[west zenith]

I started after the last big patch, so I do not know the original state.

For me bases are a place to cook, store and manufacture things. So I don’t build „living“ rooms or so. Everything is about efficiency, no glass no decoration etc 🤣

The only thing I blame them for is that we do not have a map 🙁

Im sure this guy wont hurt me

he would never

[modest niche]

the map is smaller on a horizontal level by a lot, but deceptively deep vertically, before getting an upgraded tank you should use an airbladder to assist with movement, not even an "oh no I'm out of air thing", just vertical movement

plus its super easy to make

and they buffed it to be really zoomy

[quiet verge]

i need your honest opinion do i complete Sn1 then buy BZ or buy BZ now.

[wet gate]

always complete the first one

[ivory lagoon]

Complete sn 1

[naive crow]

The story of BZ pretty much expects you to have completed SN1 beforehand

[lucid edge]

I feel insane

I found a literal straight up|| trilobite fossil ||in this game

Does this mean that|| trilobites once canonically existed on the subnautica plane||t?

I think so.

[wild rain]

i guess? or atleast something similar to one

[lucid edge]

If ||rota ||was actually ||rota ||they should add ||giant trilobites||.

Subnautica below zero is so amazing

I like subnautica below zero.

He‘ll bite you in return 😅

[wet gate]

do I need a mobile vehicle bay in bz? Where do I find the fragments if so

[west zenith]

Yes you need it to build the seatruck

Yeah, its a bit difficult in the beginning 😅

[wet gate]

any sort of thing I have to look for to get silver/rebreather bp

[west zenith]

You can find the rebreather Bo, near your starting point in the twisty bridges biom at 174m depth on a platform in a Data Box

[wet gate]

Is that near a brute shark by chance?

[west zenith]

In the twisty brides are brute sharks everywhere 😅

[wet gate]

how painfull are their hugs?

Boneshark type hugs?

[toxic ocean]

If it sounds really loud then it might just be a cryptosuchus (those annoying things with paddle arms). They’re super loud but are insanely weak

I find that the cryptosuchi sound more frightening than ||chelicerates||

It’s not too hard to miss a leviathan tho

Thermal vents near ||delta Island|| the sand color ones

[fading panther]

There should be an entrance somewhere but I don’t remember.

[wet gate]

thanks

[wet gate]

where exactly in these thermal vents should I look?

[fading panther]

There should be individual pieces of lithium scattered around, watch out for the shrimp though sometimes I run into it there

[wet gate]

fym shrimp

theres no way that theres shrimp attacking me in this game

[fading panther]

Big shrimp, I forgot how to spell the name but it’s a leviathan so just be careful

[wet gate]

theres a shrimp leviathan?

[fading panther]

It looks like a big shrimp with mandibles

[wet gate]

now youre scaring me

[radiant socket]

chelicerate?

[fading panther]

Yeah that

[wet gate]

im good yeah im perfectly fine :P

where can I find diamonds xd

I want the ||mk1 depth upg|| before going to follow ||margaret||

also im about to beat the game its take 14 hours

[broken badge]

They don’t come back

[peak perch]

i thought they did, they are my best friends, or the bioreactor's for that matter

[broken badge]

The root pustules don’t regrow. But you can grow other things in growbeds, like gel sacks or ribbon plants. Or for terrestrial plants, something like the fevered peppers. Once you have a containment unit, fish are good for biofuel.

There are still quite a lot of root pustules across the map

[peak perch]

i know but those are just cheap imitations of the good ol' Globule,

[broken badge]

Idk what you mean, pustule is the name of them🤷‍♀️

[peak perch]

Damn Wiki, it says Globule but the game clearly says Pustule.

Well in all honesty i always thought marble melons were good fuel source, since Subnautica, but apparently that was fixed or nerfed at some point.

im just placing small bases with scanner rooms in a grid of 400x400 m, some will have different power sources, but mostly bioreactors. I didn't plan to have Alien Containment Units at each cause that would increase the base size

[calm cloak]

sea monkeys?

[trail torrent]

am i the only one who likes drawing plans before building my base

[steel stream]

As mentioned, they don't grow back, but it's possible to get them from sea monkeys

[calm cloak]

maybe, i just do it in my mind during the building

[peak perch]

here i was thinking that a cool next gen base building is that you draw it in a temu pad and the bots from a mobile vehicle bay go out there and build it for you given you deposit all required materials in nearby lockers or in your inventory

[trail torrent]

that would be cool

[trail torrent]

my biggest frustration is building most of my base just to find out i didn't leave enough room for expansions lol

[calm cloak]

i like to do trial and errors so i spent more time in game

[kindred hound]

item welder

[peak perch]

you ain't THE Lamar Davis and his terrible gangster plans from GTA 5 right? hehe

[peak perch]

well, that is easy to get once you pick a nice wide area and also make sure to leave connections open on each side with enough room to place them

I am playing BZ for the nth time, and this time I built my main base first close to Koppa Mining Site, and then moved it a little forward and downwards from Mercury II stern, on like a grotto

[cold matrix]

do i play BZ now that i beat subnautica?

[small owl]

You could

Original is way better tho

[latent nebula]

Below Zero is a nice game. It is not perfect, and feels different from original, but I would recommend it. You are on same planet but in new bioms. It is smaller, and way more story oriented, however

[latent nebula]

Pros:

• more Subnautica :D
• new fih to play with
• you have to adapt your ways of exploring depending on WHERE you exploring (no "one vehicle to rule them all". Except maybe P.R.A.W.N.)
• way more story to find and speculate about (pda's, abandoned bases, broken machines), VERY story-oriented
• you got to actually meet a Precursor :D
• you got to actually meet ...someone else who can talk :D
• even more base building and decorating options
• beautiful picturesque locations, if you willing to look around
• the recycler. I finally can store my titanium efficiently

Cons:

• noticeably smaller map
• for story oriented game, to much plot holes
• Not nearly enough Precursor comments on Precursor matters. Gimme lore, my guy, wdym we "just met", I am very trustworthy
• biomes not as vibrant as in first, more "tropical" game; sea floor feels more...barren. You are in arctic, after all
• some things feels like they wasn't properly finished or were nerfed to make game less challenging
• many recipes are changed, and recourses rebalanced. (I can't survive on lantern fruit alone anymore, literally unplayable)
• hoverfish does not live in this cold waters :(

[cold matrix]

if theres a smaller map, does that mean more leviathan dense 😵‍💫

[latent nebula]

Funny enough, leviathans are smaller too...

You even unsure if they ARE leviathans

half of the time

[cold matrix]

aw these penguin things are so cute 😭

[carmine bobcat]

2 hostile water leviathan species.

There’s also a lot of sharks

[cold matrix]

im stealing one heh

[echo trail]

Biomes are much more vibrant in below zero

[latent nebula]

Are they? Idk, maybe it just felt like it to me

[echo trail]

I can't go into examples here but vibrant is half their appeal

[next current]

The Lilypad Islands are especially vibrant.

[latent nebula]

You know guys, I was typing a response, listing areas that I like in bz (which are many, I never denied that) to compare them to "bland ones"...
and I realized just now, that most likely reason why I had feeling that everything bland and barren is because I built my main base near Delta Island's dock, on edge of purple vents, and that area is hideous

[toxic ocean]

I was able to tell pretty easily

[echo trail]

That's where I built my base too, it's such a central spot but I could look much better

[west zenith]

And you have a completely different vehicle. I like it 😍

[wet gate]

guys im pretty deep in the twisted bridges but I see no ||diamonds||

chat I found a ||squidshark|| im lowk terrified

[steel stream]

Then you should be at good depth for diamonds...

[next current]

While you're down there, don't forget to get the blueprints for the Seatruck Storage and Fabricator modules. Two of the best modules by far.

[wet gate]

yea I found some hidden away

[wet gate]

I found 2 for the fabricator module

I just wanted diamonds for the mk1 depth module

[next current]

Oooo that's a good idea.

[wet gate]

OMD these cycoclumsies or wtv are so loud

their sound is so scary

hey more lithium, wouldve been usefull yesterdau

[next current]

Lithium is always useful.

[wet gate]

was much easier to find in sn tho 😭

I assume this place is called purple thermal vents or something, im going to the ||pilots last known location||

oh hi mr ||squidshark|| how are ya (help me)

[wet gate]

Matt.... I'm scared...

[next current]

Don't be. You're safe in your Seatruck. Just don't touch their electric tentacles.

[wet gate]

also it feels like theres nothing here, ive been swiming around ||the pilots signal|| but I cant find anything

[next current]

Yeah. It's only her last know location. You gotta search the nearby caves to find her secret hiding spot.

[wet gate]

I should watch out more. I Ran straight into a squidssharks mouth

oooo the pilot is ||margaret|| oooo that makes alot of sense now

I cant spell her name correctly

[next current]

Nobody can. It's a weird way to spell it.

[wet gate]

how many leviathans have I avoided so far xd, I went to the ||delta island|| and to this spot

also the deep bridges thing

[next current]

One.

We don't count Squidsharks as leviathans despite their entry.

[wet gate]

and glowwhales

I heard theres a chelicerate near the ||thermal vents at the island||

[fading panther]

Skrimp

[next current]

Mmmm shrimp.

[wet gate]

yea someone said shrimp and I was like, cant be that bad

[fading panther]

I think that was me

[next current]

The shrimp is kinda cute tho.

[wet gate]

I KNOW it was you

also where do I find spiral plants

[fading panther]

||inside vent gardens||

[wet gate]

ugh so far away?

[next current]

Or the Deep Purple Vents.

You can find them there too.

[wet gate]

oh hey a ||vent garden||

oh a massive sunken ||ship||

[next current]

Oh you found the Stern. (The Stern is the back of a ship, right?)

[wet gate]

I assume so

Also do cycowhatevertheflips have the same syndrome as sand sharks?

[wet gate]

big ones or small ones aswell

[wet gate]

and are there any near the ||lilypad islands||

ive found another ship

||mercury 2|| the dialogue says

im gonna have my first encounter with a certain leviathan soon

CORRECTION now

[fading panther]

The big ones, the ones you can go inside

[wet gate]

g-g-g-guys

Skrimp aint that scary....

all this to realize I have no moonpool

[cold matrix]

i keep finding fragments of everything but the mobile vehicle bay.

[wet gate]

check near the iceland

[scenic haven]

it is EVERYWHERE in twisty bridges

[cold matrix]

only seaglide and seatruck for me 😭

[scenic haven]

i keep finding mvb there lol mybe use scanner room?

[steel stream]

(If he has found the scanner room blueprint...)

[next current]

Does the Scanner Room data box on the Delta Island still play the old pda voice lines?

[wet gate]

mr annoying ahh ||alien alan|| is in ||my head|| now

idrk what do do atm

cus I also dont know how to get the ||test Ovverride Module||

[eternal garnet]

it's in the ||wrecks. bring laser cutter||

[wet gate]

problem . No ||laser cutter||

[eternal garnet]

can find a couple in ||the wrecks||. Also look in the sand for L shapes, and monkey nests. Scan all the monkey nests

[wet gate]

alr

[wet gate]

im in an arctic plCe with alot of glowwhales is there anything here? I think its the east arctic

[eternal garnet]

there's a building on top of an iceberg, but you have to do a thing before you can enter.
Also, go ride the whale's head

[wet gate]

bet

i think I found the building lmao

is it ||Marguerits greenhouse||?

[eternal garnet]

yes

oh, bring the pepper fruit home, grow some

in the ice tunnel

[wet gate]

o

[wet gate]

my worst fear came true

i randomly got snatched by a chelicerate

[eternal garnet]

okbut do you have perimeter defense? Fire it on attack

[wet gate]

Yeye did that

scared the life out of me tho

[modest niche]

Do pepper plants ever run out

[spiral isle]

Nah they just grow infinitely as far as I’m aware

[steel stream]

Wild ones run out, in growbeds they don't

[scenic haven]

can someone pls help me out without spoiling too much i only have 5 alan scans and i just found marguerites green house now what? i am temped to explore crystal caverns but i am afraid of the shadow leviathans lol thank you!

[toxic ocean]

Her greenhouse or her actual house?

[scenic haven]

greenhouse

[steel stream]

If you have perimeter defence system in your seatruck, nothing is really a threat anymore

[toxic ocean]

Then you go search for what happened to sam

[scenic haven]

marguerite didn’t say anything i’m pretty sure and i didn’t see it on my pda could you maybe point me in the right direction? thank you!

[toxic ocean]

Did you get the map at delta station? It shows all alterra facilities, you can start there

[stark pulsar]

what can i do with pengling

do i use it as fuel for the bioreactor

[modest niche]

Can you stack thermal reactor modules on the prawnsuit, or is 1 the same as 2

[stoic surge]

One works quite well for me, and they might not 'stack' anyway

[eternal lotus]

is the sleeper module just cosmetic or does the bed do smt

[eternal garnet]

yes it advances time, for the sky, growing, hatching

[eternal lotus]

ok

[next current]

And you can play music while driving the Seatruck.

Don't forget about that.

[dark jasper]

Whaaa

[eternal garnet]

right. I didn't read "module"

[scenic haven]

i alr went to all of those places and did the hydraulic fluid thing and explored there

[eternal lotus]

so does the module have a good use?

[eternal garnet]

just combine the 2 replies

[toxic ocean]

if you did the sam storyline then all that's left is to build al-an's body

[wet anvil]

I hate how people call bz a 'dlc'

[scenic haven]

that’s all of the sam storyline? ok! but it’s been a while since alan has given me the ping for a new artifact

[wet anvil]

Tip get the resources for the final body part before going there it will save you a ton of time

That is if you want to spoil it for yourself

[toxic ocean]

the hints are in his dialogue

[wet gate]

where can I find lasercutter fragments

[toxic ocean]

Sea monkey nests in the kelp caves

And wrecks

[wet gate]

which direction are the kelp caves?

[scenic haven]

ok thank you! i don’t wanna spoil it rlly so i will listen back

[toxic ocean]

They’re the caves under kelp forests

[scenic haven]

is it worth going to the caves just for kyanite or should i go there to do alan and get kyanite so i only have to go once

[wet gate]

ive just done the ||x3 artifact|| and still need to do ||marguerit|| quest with the tower

idrk what to do

[west zenith]

Have you scanned the items on the table?

Than you have a new receipt to build a test override module

You’ll have to find the parts to build it

I don’t want to spoil you to much

[wet gate]

I just couldnt find them so I checked a tutorial and now im going to try to get about 1700 lead cus I have been needing it for alot of stuff

[west zenith]

For what do you need all the lead?

[wet gate]

seatruck upgrades vehicle upgrade console and a couple other things

[west zenith]

To find the parts of it the seatruck you have should be ok if you can dive up to 600m

[wet gate]

Ive already got most of it

I just want the storage module

[west zenith]

This need 3 lead not 1700 😅

[wet gate]

same thing

I can never find galena outcrops

[west zenith]

Do you have a scanner room and hud chip upgrade?

Then it’s way to easy

[wet gate]

nop

[west zenith]

Do you have it unlocked?

[wet gate]

yea

but I have no base yet

[west zenith]

It’s an investment into the future

[wet gate]

i know

[west zenith]

It will make everything much easier

[wet gate]

but idk where im gonna make it yet

[west zenith]

On the border twisty bridges/thermal spires or behind delta island to the west

[wet gate]

why to the west?

[west zenith]

I enjoyed the easy access to all res with scanner room in twisty bridges

Do you know the map of BZ?

[wet gate]

sort of

Ive used the interactive map so far with just the biomes

[west zenith]

Ok

[wet gate]

welp back to the greenhouse now

[west zenith]

Do you look for things by your own? Or do you use guides/maps the whole time?

[wet gate]

If it takes too long ill use a guide

I found the greenhouse before while exploring so I know where to go

[wet gate]

im now at a star iceberg so idrk where I am

theres a blizzard so ill prolly just wait that out

THIS ////// chelicerate

[lucid edge]

I like ||chelicerate||

He is so cool looking

[grand haven]

🦐

[wet gate]

yea but hes jumpscared me twice now

[wet gate]

what do I do after I ||have just done marguerits greenhouse thing||

[eternal garnet]

optionally: find and optionally cure the frozen creature.
Find the body pieces

[wet gate]

so basically, upgrade my things and dive down

[eternal garnet]

basically, go to the other storylines. Marge's is done.

Oh, I forgot one thing, now you can go in her kitchen

[wet gate]

recommend going there?

[eternal garnet]

and drop a beacon in a deep hole next to her home

because, yes

[wet gate]

is that where the ||shadow leviathan is there||

holy english

[eternal garnet]

yes

[wet gate]

great! just great
