below-zero-chat

[mighty hamlet]

yes, but it was on the ground and my building scanner and hand scanner both didnt pick it up because not a fragment but a whole object

even if u dont save? he can explore, find it, and then reload

[broken badge]

I wouldn’t count on someone remembering to not save

Every time someone asks how to get out of some terrible situation
We ask “you didn’t save, did you”
Yeah, I did
Sad noises

[mighty hamlet]

then make a manual backup of the save folder before

[broken badge]

Console players don’t have that option. Sure, a PC player can, but we have a lot of console players (I don’t like to make recommendations that tailor to just one platform)

[true estuary]

ugh another hour of looking. i hate the whole hunt-the-pixel genre.

i loved subnautica though.

i'll come back to it. find another goal 🙂

[cloud sigil]

And thats how you do it!

anyways, im lost. didnt bring a beacon. found a new biome though

[toxic ocean]

Yeah ||crystal cave|| is a pain to navigate, I usually leave a seatruck module at the entrance to mark it

[true estuary]

i'd be grateful if anyone can send the F1 camera world positions for the seatruck docking modules; i've got 2/3 and need to get the 3rd. search deep purple vents thoroughly above and below from surface to 500m deep. no luck with the youtube videos, they are much too fast.

[night sorrel]

How did you unlock the teleporter and module

[true estuary]

i found it! yay! i don't have a teleporter yet.

but at least i feel like i can continue.

[steel stream]

Scan 10 artifacts

[violet raven]

Below zero

[night sorrel]

All the arcifacts?

[cloud sigil]

close to it

[night sorrel]

Huh

Is there any video

[cloud sigil]

not sure

im wandering the crystal caves, do i wander until i find the next biome?

[wind hill]

hey Im new to below zero can yall spoil the main story for me?

[cloud sigil]

no!

[wind hill]

okay:(

but is it fun?

[cloud sigil]

im doing a blind playthrough right ni now

[wind hill]

or spooky?

[cloud sigil]

very fun at the start, a little spook

later on

but playing it blind vrs playing the abse game spoiled was a big difference

a good one too

[wind hill]

well I js did my first normal subnautica playtrough and got bz instantly so yeah its new for me completely

[cloud sigil]

it was a little weird, focus on finding an island once you get situated is the best bet

[wind hill]

island?

so theres a bunch?

[cloud sigil]

there is some "land"

[steel stream]

I think there are 15, so not all

[night sorrel]

Ok

Most of them are literally unkown like "Satellite"

[night sorrel]

There is much "land"

[toxic ocean]

When the way ahead is suspiciously clear and then the water turns reddish

But you’ll need stuff for ||the body||, might as well collect those first

[cloud sigil]

i know where to find some of the stuff, the rest is at my base, the only issue is the sinthetic fibers, and i havent found spiral clippings yet...

i did find my way out through the marg enterance after entering through the ship enterance, came back and marked it all

[glass grail]

Guys is this normal?

[lucid edge]

You need to hydrate your base twice a day, or it will get thirsty.

[olive phoenix]

Thats a very hydrated base i see

[glass grail]

But there isnt water down there

It isnt that it's flooded

I can breathe below it

[modest cave]

likely just a bug all things considered

save and quit, close the game and reopen it

i also had that issue once

[glass grail]

Thanks

[peak perch]

hey guys how's the ||fridge|| supposed to work? do i need to put in a snowball in? I stored a bunch of cooked of arctic peepers and after several hours of play, i have seen they've started to go bad

[copper wedge]

it only prolongs the lifetime of food afaik

it makes their durability go down slower i think

i could be wrong idk

i havent played sbz in forever 😭 prob ask someone later

[radiant socket]

durability...

[copper wedge]

health? idk

[radiant socket]

spoilage idk

[copper wedge]

ig

[radiant socket]

but not durability

[peak perch]

they have that green arched line that represents... so many things, but i suppose it can be called spoilage, even for tools hehe

[gentle flax]

Why The Freak does everyone hate BELOW ZERO?

idk why it's a good game...

[modest cave]

more so story purposes and vehicle designs

[toxic ocean]

I noticed something

The sounds in below zero make the atmosphere mystical

But I play subnautica again and the sound design is legit terrifying sometimes

[modest cave]

i think subnautica encapsulates the fear factor/need for exportation to beat the story a lottt better than below zero

i think that’s another point people look to when they express it’s not as good

[copper wedge]

idk

[fading panther]

I dont

[gentle flax]

It's so underrated, I wonder when they would put custom in the original game?

[copper wedge]

probably never

after the 2025 one i dont see it getting any more updates

[violet raven]

55555

[fading panther]

Nice

[copper wedge]

FIRE

[gentle flax]

Welp guess I have to use cheats :/

[copper wedge]

welp

[gentle flax]

Life stinks, missed opportunity lol

Also I think BELOW ZERO/2 should get a mobile port 👀

[toxic ocean]

Is it weird that I like to play below zero more than subnautica

I love the seatruck more and the resource collection feels better

[verbal hill]

chat

below zero is cooked

how did we get here 🏆

cooked as in why tf is there terrain at 3000 meters

[copper wedge]

why not? would you rather the bottom of the world be hollow?

[verbal hill]

just saying that the map ends at ~1120-1220 so why is there terrain at 3000

[copper wedge]

y-level?

its just to add extra space idk i'm not a dev

[unique needle]

I’m pretty sure sn1 has a small box of terrain or something in the middle of nowhere, but even the bottom of the map at 8 thousand metres has terrain

[modest niche]

There could be a bunch of reasons. For instance:
What if they knew a player would never be able to get there, so whilst modelling terrain textures they used that as their testing area.

Personally I would want to test terrain models whilst having the map loaded.
All sorts of weird bugs can occur if you only model things in a separate isolated environment.

It’s just standard operating procedure

It could also just be that the map must be finite.
So there would need to be a solid end point.

Then maybe someone realised that you could just refuse to load the cells, which normally would be a terrible idea, but so long as someone can’t actually get close enough to them, it doesn’t matter

So we don’t need more terrain

Literally a dozen of possibilities, all of which are perfectly plausible

[unique needle]

sn1 says otherwise to that one

[modest niche]

I'm talking from the mindset of a coder

there is security in a box

like hear me out, if you just left no physical restriction on how far a player could travel, you'd eventually overload the ram

so the simple solution is to make a physical restriction

but its also dumb

so the more elegant, if not, the best solution
is just to make it so if your coords hit a certain limit you're teleported away from an area that'd make it so you load too many cells

granted ive no idea how subnautica actually loads its gameworld, but the point still stands, its not like the entire world is rendered all at once

unoptimized space is a more dangerous thing to load
it does not like to play well with others

[unique needle]

I mean just make (probably harder then this) if player x bigger then 8,400 teleport back to 0 but do it for both ways, so negative and y and z I think that’s what they did in the first one

But pluh idk vro

[modest niche]

I'm sorry if I sound like a fancy pants mumbo jumbo weirdo, but I did used to be a coder for a different game, I guess I explain things weird

[unique needle]

It tis a little weird explanations but it’s fine!! I’m learning unreal engine so pluh

[modest niche]

like I guess?
the sub devs actually solved the problem in the most hilarious way
not a single one of the people I'd known would think, hey what if we just put a effing tonne of giant monsters trying to kill them

yeah theres still the hard barrier

but the gameplay solution would stop 99% of people

and be way less annoying to do

idk engineers really hate having a problem not 100% solved

but 99% is often good enough

[unique needle]

People will always try and break games by solving it for anyone not trying works fine in my eyes

[modest niche]

there is a difference between someone attempting an any% speedrun
and someone who simply doesnt know better

limitations arent there to stop fun, its to stop you from bricking the game

[teal stream]

hi guys, how is it going

[ivory lagoon]

Wth

My brain is molten

[bold monolith]

I skimmed through the above. But the only reason the terrain stops at 3000 is because you have to pick an arbitrary depth. Deeper than the maximum point but it isn't very useful to keep terrain data for 3-8k meters.

It's just unnecessary space on the disk.

[ivory lagoon]

Ok

[unborn meadow]

Does someone by any chance know if there will be below zero mobile someday?

[ivory lagoon]

Maybe because why not

[unborn meadow]

I really like below zero and would be so happy if there was below zero mobile

[glass grail]

Beautiful game imo

[ivory lagoon]

Yeah

[spiral isle]

I’m watching Jacksepticeye play the early access of BZ from years ago. Why did they change the story? I never actually looked into it

[toxic ocean]

The writer left midway I think

[spiral isle]

Oh damn

[violet raven]

What was the old story?

[spiral isle]

You start in a pre built land base, the one with the snowman on it. Sam is up in a space station and she talks you through some objectives. It was early so pretty unfinished

The sea emperors were also in the game lol

[unique needle]

oh damn thats completely different

[violet raven]

yeah

[spiral isle]

Yeah one of your crew goes missing and you have to search for him, then Alan joins you at some point

He still joins basically the same way

[fathom ferry]

Beautiful but somehow deadly

[hearty cipher]

I like the seatruck, I wish I could paint it blue like my science vessel cyclops

[peak perch]

so, i decided after several playthroughs to make a base in ||the crystal caves|| and of course i went prepared to dance with the ||shadow leviathan||. And fight I did like once, until I found one of those deep crevices with hotspots, installed a small scanner room base (1 multipurpose room, 1 X compartment, 1 scanner room, 1 hatch).
I didn't like the spot and knew there was another deep crevice with more room. I wanted to check out the area within the safety of my SR base but didn't have table coral samples.
Went back to main base, crafted the camera drone, and also took a ||glow whale|| with me to put her to swim around down there.
I went back down, didn't see the leviathan. Arrive at the SR base, deployed the drone, and came back out into a big open area. In a swift motion, left the prawn, deployed the creature, and back in the suit, and jumped down to SR.
And now I scanned for the leviathan and while it does show 2 spawn locations, i used the drone camera to go check em out. Nowhere to be seen. I then decided to roam the whole place. Nothing. I wonder if by me deploying the ||whale|| and also shocking the ||shadow leviathan|| once, i sort of bugged it out?

[toxic ocean]

yeah the seatruck's color changing is wack
main color just puts a color filter over the blue parts too for some reason

seatruck is my favorite vehicle in the series

[unborn meadow]

Yeah I like the seatruck and the prawn suit equally tho

[radiant peak]

How did you ||pilot the whale?|| I swear they ||arent steerable||

[peak perch]

oh I just ||looked for the eggs in the lily pads area, in those hanging underwater islands, and put 2 in a 3 story alien containment unit, and bred them, then you can put up to 2 in your inventory, since they are 4x4||

[radiant peak]

Ohh ok

[peak perch]

and yet, i have no idea if her presence is bugging out the ||shadow leviathan||

[pearl crown]

guys i just saw a

||Chelicerate||

is it uncommon to see one?

[ivory lagoon]

It is pretty much a reaper

[bold monolith]

There are just a few though, contrary to the reaper. 4 in the whole game (if you don't count the void).

[ivory lagoon]

Only Daym

Wait a sec

[bold monolith]

So while it isn't uncommon it isn't your common fish.

[ivory lagoon]

The rarest leviathan is

||The garden octopus ||

Only 3

2 juvenile

1 adult

Oh nah it is ||frozen||

Only 1

[bold monolith]

There are two ventgardens, six juveniles.

The moving ones.

They follow the blue path.

[ivory lagoon]

Ok

[next current]

That path looks like a goose without its body.

[loud frost]

Сем ку

[peak perch]

4???... there is one there, another there, and the last one here, i don't see the 4th..

[copper wedge]

english only please!

[peak perch]

unless you are counting one twice thinking it's another one in the same area

[steel stream]

Ignis doesn't count the same twice...

[copper wedge]

ignis knows all

[steel stream]

Are you sure you're ||not counting the 2 in tree spires as 1?||

[peak perch]

you see, we are seeing the same two colored apple from different sides... but i know my side is the correct one, lol...

i have to re-check

[steel stream]

I can show you the map with all 4 spawn points...

[peak perch]

I believe you because i am seeing it in the interactive map and for a time i think i knew there were 2, and then later for another amount of time i thought it was repatched to be just one meandering the whole area.
I have my main base now a little further down from ||mercury II stern|| and I drove a drone camera there and it's some 100 meters away i can easily see its menacing silhouette.

[toxic ocean]

i love pc

[peak perch]

yep

you can also add your music to the jukebox folder and listen to it through the game

[copper wedge]

you need a mod for that tho

[peak perch]

lol, i didn't remember i had these saved

from the olden times of early access

this is when the story was another one

[copper wedge]

what was the old sbz story?

[toxic ocean]

Sam is alive and keeps contact with you from the vesper space station. and you start in an actual seabase

Alan and Marguerit were not too different

I’ve only heard about the story but it has something to do with juvenile sea emperors, and a missing alterra personnel who has another architect in his head and destroys the space station

[violet kettle]

sam drops supply drops for you and you send samples from the bz world to the vespa for study i thibk

[copper wedge]

oh thats sick

idk why ppl didnt like that

[peak perch]

no you don't, just go to c:\music\unknown worlds\subnautica\ place .ogg, .flac, .mp3 (and some other files) in there and you will play it through the jukebox

[copper wedge]

it doesnt work last i checked, bec why would someone make a mod to make the files work?

[peak perch]

it works for me

[violet kettle]

translation "music -> uknown worlds -> subnautica ->

[copper wedge]

they must've fixed it

[violet kettle]

and then in subnautica folder just put a mp3

[copper wedge]

weird

i remember trying and it didnt show up, so i had to use a mod for it

huh, damn

[peak perch]

well now you can use it without mod, but in any case i wish it'd work like with GTA, that you just add a shortcut file with the path to your music folder and it will scan it so you don't have to make extra copies in said folder

and jam to your tunes while braving the depths of BZ

[peak perch]

also, what a hellish depth that is

[peak perch]

yeah

[toxic ocean]

Oh sweet I’m gonna add some wacky stuff later then

[ivory lagoon]

[bold monolith]

You can redirect the path of the music folder with a symbolic link.

Something like:

Remove-Item "$Env:UserProfile\Music\Unknown Worlds" -Recurse # Remove the existing Unknown Worlds folder and all its children. Be sure you type this correctly or do it manually. 
New-Item -Path "e:\" -Name "Jukebox" -ItemType "directory" # Create the Jukebox folder in your e:\. 
New-Item -Path "$Env:UserProfile\Music" -Name "Unknown Worlds" -ItemType "symboliclink" -Value "e:\Jukebox" # Create the symbolic link Unknown Worlds in your Music folder targeting e:\Jukebox.

[latent nebula]

Oh I seen different version on BZ wiki
I guess it have changed quite a few times
The one I read was more about rouge employee who tried to infect Vesper and get ransom for vaccine or something

Lemme fetch link to that...

[toxic ocean]

yeah i think that was it, i wasn't too clear on the details

[latent nebula]

Here, it kind of spread across whole Cut Content article:
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Cut_Content_(Below_Zero)

To be honest, it wasn't bad version nor current story is inheritanly bad

They both could be polished to become a great stories to explore, but alas

I like a lot of ideas cut story had
I'd like for Sam to be alive
I'd like variation of ending where both civilizations are now aware of each other
I'd like for Maida be even more of badass hero and fighting in her prawn

But at same time
I do like that Al-an doesn't start hostile toward us
I do like that we are not forced to choose between helping trapped alien and our literal family

So there is that

[copper wedge]

#memes-and-media

[next dragon]

hi

[steel shoal]

Unfortunately, people in the past didn't like the old story, that's why it was changed

They felt it wasn't Subnautica enough, and that it was a sequence of gathering quests

[latent nebula]

But... but it is
It is bunch of gathering quests regardless
You gather blueprints/resources, you look for codes and clues
In first subnautica you do a fetch quest for Sea Emperor, and toward the very end - alterra, plus voluntary quest-investigation of distress calls
There are quests 😂 even if not very obvious

[steel shoal]

Yes, but it's more about exploring and finding stuff, than being directly told to move to a location, and then return

[latent nebula]

Ok I want to make it clear that I am not telling that you are wrong, and my messages on this topic is just me whining about dreamy "would-be" lol 😆

With that said,

I'd argue that you were told where to go by distress calls in first game,
I remember very vividly that in my very first playthrough I was surprised every time for how far you can go every new distress signal investigation 😭 😂

[steel shoal]

Yeah the distress calls were really subtle directions

[latent nebula]

Also, nothing going to be like OG Subnautica, I think

I feel like BZ wouldn't suffer much if it wasn't same type of game even. It was good decision to NOT call it "Subnautica 2" - they could put focus on different aspects of game compared to first one
As I said somewhere in my earlier messages, I would be more than happy go all-in exploring abandoned (or not realy) Precursor labs/temples
For Alterra, for trapped space centaur, or for some third new force - doesn't matter

[steel shoal]

BZ was trying to be its own thing while at the same time trying to please the people that wanted Subnautica again

[latent nebula]

So true😭

[steel shoal]

It's a weird mix that is definitely awesome, but not in the same way as Subnautica is

I think the devs mentioned BZ was going to be different because it'd be repetitive for both devs and players to get another regular Subnautica

[latent nebula]

Yeah
Which does make sense
I just wish they had faith in themselves to make it really different
But I understand why they didn't, and wouldn't dare to judge

I love Below Zero for what it is 💙

[ivory lagoon]

👏 😭 👏

🖐️ 🙂 🖐️

[torn mountain]

can somebody help

[copper wedge]

https://dontasktoask.com/
whats up

[torn mountain]

idk what to do in bz

[copper wedge]

explore, follow the story, build a base/vehicles, etc.

[torn mountain]

there isnt any storyline

[copper wedge]

there is

[torn mountain]

ion see

[copper wedge]

its very detailed as you what you do next. what did you do last?

[torn mountain]

first emergency supply cache and seaglide 2/3 mats for mvb and i cant find table coral samples

[copper wedge]

go deeper in the twisty glowing bridges area until you ||hear an SOS||

[torn mountain]

autocorrection "go deeper till you have a panic attack and start screaming sos"

[copper wedge]

you'll be able to follow better when you reach it

[torn mountain]

how do u find the || ice worm ||

[copper wedge]

you gotta find the ||spire deltas on land||

icr exactly what they're called tho

[torn mountain]

wait how much meters deep i gotta go

[copper wedge]

0

its ||on land||...

[torn mountain]

to find twisty glowing bridges

[copper wedge]

they're near spawn but further out away from where you spawn in from

and then just dive as deep as you can, theres o2 plants down there

[torn mountain]

the one with blue dots all over it?

[copper wedge]

yeah

[torn mountain]

its at spawn tho

literally at it

[copper wedge]

yeah

[torn mountain]

not near it at it

[copper wedge]

its close to it

spawn is the land you start on

[torn mountain]

drop pod

wtv ima go deep

btw why in bz 150 meters = || shadow leviathan ||

are || bonesharks yellow and grey|| @copper wedge

[copper wedge]

bonesharks are not in sbz

[torn mountain]

oh this brute shark

[copper wedge]

||shadow levi|| is about ||1000||m i think

[torn mountain]

i saw a vid of it being at ||150||

[copper wedge]

then its bugged

[torn mountain]

UR CORRECTTTTT

[copper wedge]

ss? might not be the same levi

[torn mountain]

ss?

[copper wedge]

screenshot

[copper wedge]

thats not how thats supposed to work

[torn mountain]

wdym

• i was playing going deep and saw one

so i had a seizure rq and went back up

[copper wedge]

you most likely saw a ||squidshark||

[torn mountain]

ss?

[copper wedge]

one sec

[torn mountain]

btw what u mean by sos is the ||morse code message by unkown||

?

[copper wedge]

yeah that

[torn mountain]

is that levi

[copper wedge]

i think so

iirc yea

[torn mountain]

what meters r they

around what meters

cuz i didnt even go 110m

and i saw the ||glowing ribcage||

anyways ima do the distress call

@copper wedge WHYYYYYY

[copper wedge]

what

[torn mountain]

the distress call is at 200 meters 😭

[copper wedge]

alright

[torn mountain]

alright? ion even got a ||seatruck|| and this dude saw ||shadow leviathan|| at 150m with a seatruck

i rlly hate @ing people when they dont see my mssgs

[cloud sigil]

how do i find spiral plant

[solemn cape]

i have also been wondering the same thing. iv found most of all the other resources

[cloud sigil]

got the hardest acheivement before i found them

[solemn cape]

im not fully done with the game. im maybe half way done or 3/5ths done

[cloud sigil]

same

[solemn cape]

i went into subnuatica with so much knowledge of the game but when it comes to below zero. I know close to nthn

[cloud sigil]

same, thats why i was able to get it done for my first actual time in abt 10 hrs

[toxic ocean]

Inside vent garden
Or deep purple vents

[solemn cape]

man ion even know where those are

i know where the lilypad stuff is where the anemone mushroom stuff is

[solemn cape]

idk how long my first run was but i delayed it so much. In my cyclops I had a full chest of nearly each material.

[toxic ocean]

The biome is to the west of the lilypads

[solemn cape]

ok i need to make my compass then. thanks

is this biome the vent garden or the deep purple vents?

[toxic ocean]

Oh nvm its called tree spires

The creature is called the vent garden

[solemn cape]

interesting

[toxic ocean]

Deep purple vents is a cave system under the purple vents

[solemn cape]

im just tryna get info without fully being spoiled so location and name is alright

[cloud sigil]

found em:D

if only i could plant them

[toxic ocean]

You can plant spiral plants

Just need to scan the exterior growbed somewhere

Or just collect a bunch, you don’t need too many clippings of it

[cloud sigil]

you plant the clippings?

[toxic ocean]

Yeah, you plant the clippings

[cloud sigil]

cool

[toxic ocean]

Farming is underrated

[cloud sigil]

how long does it take to grow i put all mine in and i cant see anything

my bad shoulda spoiled

[solemn cape]

i didnt realize you could farm nearly everything

Ok i redownloaded subnuatica and the save file i completed the game in says i spent 23 hrs and 52 minutes on it

a long time eh. but it was a fun time

[toxic ocean]

No idea, but I see little dots so check later

[cloud sigil]

let me check my main sub hours

[solemn cape]

in my current bz save file i have 7 hrs and 50 mins. going in blind im probably gonna take longer. that being said, i had heard bz was a shorter game

is that the one you finished in 10 hrs?

my total time playing subnuatica is 4 days and 11 hrs. but i spent a long time in creative before I finally decided to complete the game 5 yrs later

[cloud sigil]

so i finnaly think i have all i need to complete the game, marked beacons and im sure i can get myself around

just playing the waiting game

[solemn cape]

nice

i still have lots to explore im prob much behind you

[cloud sigil]

wya rn?

[solemn cape]

i think a good measure is that my truck only has its first depth module. i dont have a prawn suit or the hover bike.

so i think that rules out alot of area

[cloud sigil]

hover is not "neccisary" to beat the game i think

[solemn cape]

the worm is scary though

[cloud sigil]

im not even sure that you need to even go on land

[cloud sigil]

no point that ive seen in going over to it o far

[solemn cape]

really?

[toxic ocean]

You do need to, for one thing

[cloud sigil]

other than some resources

[cloud sigil]

late game?

[solemn cape]

i think one land thing is disabling that antenna

[toxic ocean]

I guess so

[cloud sigil]

ugh i need rubys

[solemn cape]

cmon overi have half a big locker full of em

[cloud sigil]

thank god for koppa

[solemn cape]

my game jus crashed 🙁

good thing i didnt do literally anything yet

i keep running out of quartz though

[cloud sigil]

happened earlier today to me and now im saving like crazy'

[solemn cape]

yea i do save alot

[cloud sigil]

how bruh

[cloud sigil]

lilypads

actually, purple vents near delta

[solemn cape]

Ignore the shape but my base currently looks like this.

This is what it looks like other side

I’m using lotsa glass for windows and I corridors

[cloud sigil]

let me go back to mine

[solemn cape]

btw i named my sea truck caterpilar

[solemn cape]

looks nice! I had a hard time figuring out where I was gonna put my seatruck dock but it works where I have it.

[cloud sigil]

most proud of my room

[cloud sigil]

nuclear reactor and pooper same room

[solemn cape]

I haven’t decorated like that but I put all the posters and decorations I find up

[toxic ocean]

Dang that’s neat

I don’t really focus on fancy building until post game so I just sleep in my seatruck lol

[cloud sigil]

last but not least my indoor garden overlooking it at

[cloud sigil]

cool

[solemn cape]

mines no where near as impressive as yours

[cloud sigil]

used to ration fibers i found at wrecks

[cloud sigil]

really just get whats neccisary, then use the extra titainium to decorate

[solemn cape]

i think im blind i dont see the spiryling things i need

[cloud sigil]

very hard to find, want me to tell you?

[solemn cape]

is it in the purple vent cave?

[cloud sigil]

so go to delta, go s/sw abt 470m

il tell you the next part when your ready

[solemn cape]

which ysmbol is delta?

lookin at the alterra facilities map

nvm im using a beacon to get to it

[cloud sigil]

and hug the floor too!

or just go 130m deep

[solemn cape]

im way past 470m away. i did see a giant jellyfish

i should be in a thermal vent biome yes?

[cloud sigil]

think so, did you pass a small wreck?

bout 2 rooms?

[solemn cape]

no?

[cloud sigil]

il head over and send a pick of it

here is what it looks like btw

[solemn cape]

im infront of koppa mining site under water

[cloud sigil]

thats like the other side of delta

[solemn cape]

i went sw of delta like you said

[cloud sigil]

shoot

give me a sec i messed that up

[solemn cape]

and ive never been back here either so its all new territory im gonna come back too now

[cloud sigil]

SE 2 clicks e

you should be passing the purple pimples on your way there

[solemn cape]

so its past lily pads?

[cloud sigil]

should look like this

dont mind the base

so once you're facing the lilypad biome, turn left and hug the wall, you should need to go up/down

[solemn cape]

im at the wreck now

[cloud sigil]

cool!

should be a hole right near it'

whats your max depth?

[solemn cape]

if its the purple vent cave i was there before ;.;

300m

[cloud sigil]

oh yeah you should be good

now its in the little grassy parts

[solemn cape]

Hotdog I got it

I really was blind. I was literally in here before

thanks

[cloud sigil]

welp, im going to hit the hay'

[solemn cape]

yea gn its 1:25 am over here

[cloud sigil]

11;24

we'll be here all week!

[solemn cape]

lol i dont care about my sleep as much as i should

indeed

dont forget to save

[cloud sigil]

aw shoot

[solemn cape]

please be lying

[cloud sigil]

i just need to go back to koppa

mine the rubys

[solemn cape]

not too bad

[cloud sigil]

oh and one more thing

take the sea truck down there, upgrade it first though

[solemn cape]

to where?

nvm i see it goes deep and to another biome im yet to see

[cloud sigil]

Don’t go in their yet

[solemn cape]

i always freedive far from my stuff but im not that cray cray

[cloud sigil]

It’s pretty important, but to my knowledge, there’s a couple more than that entrance, I know 2 so far

[solemn cape]

upon my leave i got attacked by 2 leviathans 🙂

with that. I made alot of good progress today. 8 and a half hours into my run now. I will take my leave good night

[winter creek]

how to craft penguin robot thing

[toxic ocean]

Find the fragment first

Phi robotics had one

[cloud sigil]

lol I was up so late last night I missed my bus

[cloud sigil]

and planted it

[lapis halo]

heyo Ima start playing my first playthrough soon, anything I should desperately do at the start or AVOID doing? I learnt the hard way I should've been scanning everything on my subnautica playthrough lol

[cloud sigil]

If you want to progress faster, follow all the little green things

Physical and on your HUD

Also put your synthetic fibers that you find in wrecks and put it in your recyclotron and plant it, wasted 2 hours last night

[grand haven]

Your name is like environmental story telling

[lapis halo]

should I know what synthetic fibers are? lol

[radiant socket]

when you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras

[lapis halo]

what in the world... ok

[cloud sigil]

Basically they look like fiber mesh, but brown

[split folio]

ryley's pants after sn1 lol

[reef ginkgo]

if i go below my prawn suits crush depth while its tethered to my seatruck will it be crushed

[copper wedge]

i'm pretty sure

[reef ginkgo]

Hello... "Dexter Morgan"

[cloud sigil]

No actually

I figured this out on accident, what happened with me is that once I got it, that’s when it started crushing, but also it walked as if it was on land not going up or down

also its not appropriate to discuss here

[radiant socket]

i do

[radiant socket]

2026

[reef ginkgo]

actually ocean

where can i find one of those huge chunks of lead

[restive yarrow]

2030

They all capping

Sn2 isnt even in build yet

[toxic ocean]

Large lead nodes don’t exist in below zero sadly

[reef ginkgo]

im such a chud

[reef ginkgo]

cant find maidas stupid greenhouse so im just gonna go home

accidentally entered the ecological dead zone while looking so now the pda wont even tell me when i accidentally enter it again

[toxic ocean]

My strat is to start at the delta station dock and go east until the delta beacon is 1 km away

Then keep driving close to icebergs until your pda notifies you of a hollow iceberg (you can check it out, it’s got lots of magnetite), then start going southeast

[reef ginkgo]

i did get notified of a hollow iceberg but now im back to my base AND CHE CLEICHARE

god damn chelicarate

[toxic ocean]

There’s also an artifact near the greenhouse iceberg, so if you find that, you would be close

[reef ginkgo]

i should get a better power source than a bioreactor

or.. just maybe, a second bioreactor

i could swap to nuclear but i have doubts about it and not enough lead

i live next to like 10 thermal vents but all of them cap out at like 16 degrees

[toxic ocean]

Grow ribbon plants for unlimited fuel

[reef ginkgo]

i do have ribbon plants

im using a couple chinese potato plants for fuel right now

the power amount is not the problem its the speed

it cant keep up with my water filtration machine and power cell charger

how do i get stalker fur?

i want to get to phi robotics and build a snow fox and drive around a bit

im not sure what im missing there but there was that bridge with the missing hydraulic fluid

[toxic ocean]

Really? Well try out a different fuel source at least, potatoes seem not that good according to the wiki

[toxic ocean]

Build a spy pengling and use it to take the fur. It doesn’t need to be alive

For the hydraulic fluid, scan the broken container on the ground at the bridge, its kind of unclear at first

[reef ginkgo]

i didnt even see a broken container

[copper wedge]

it kinda is i think

[reef ginkgo]

I think the Seatruck is way cooler than the Seamoth

[copper wedge]

valid

its just a better seamoth

[reef ginkgo]

people cope cause its slower or something but thats the point

you can choose how to use it

[copper wedge]

yeah true

[reef ginkgo]

i think it would be cooler if it was a lot faster without modules cause then youd feel cooler detaching them withl the level and blasting off

same goes for the cyclops and its "emergency speed"

this is supposed to be a last resort that makes your engine catch fire and basically attract everything that you only use when you need to escape asap

it is astonishingly slow

[copper wedge]

hell yeah

there should've been a keybind to detach the modules tbh

[reef ginkgo]

feels cooler havng to manually dismount and pull the lever

[copper wedge]

fair

[toxic ocean]

Well if you consider that all movement got nerfed in below zero, the seatruck and seamoth are both about 2x faster than the player in their respective games

So yeah the truck is just a better moth

[summer atlas]

They don't exist in bz

Ik it's crazy

[reef ginkgo]

it makes no sense

I think when you scan something you already know the recipe of you should get materials that are actually used in its construction and not just titanium

like the player character no longer needs the device intact for the scanner so they can tear it apart

and collect the components

[radiant socket]

that would be coo

[bright osprey]

Almost everything uses titanium though

In one way or another

[reef ginkgo]

hello... "dexter moprgan"

[radiant socket]

blocked

[reef ginkgo]

ok then kyle butelr

[radiant socket]

i changed my mind that's a stupid idea

[reef ginkgo]

how much hydraulic fluid do i need again

[radiant socket]

5 iirc

[reef ginkgo]

me when i spread misinformation online

[cloud sigil]

I think it’s just 1

[copper wedge]

1

[crisp trellis]

do leviathans respawn in bz?

[toxic ocean]

no

[crisp trellis]

imma sterminate them then

[cloud sigil]

I did that in my sn1 main world in the lost river, regretted it later because I think it takes away from the danger of the game

[toxic ocean]

yeah there's no spice left and you're left with bland ocean

[gentle flax]

I rebranded the logo, but now i need it for below zero, please make it for me! NO CHATGPT!!

[hasty lark]

It’s really good

[gentle flax]

i removed the 2 lol

[gentle flax]

imanige this will be the new steam logo

[gentle flax]

someone has to do a better job than me, who up for it?

i tried lol

[gentle flax]

are you a good logo designer?

[radiant socket]

yh pretty goo

[gentle flax]

make me a new logo for below zero, with this no chatgpt, because i hate it make it accurate lol, see ya!

[radiant socket]

how much will you pay me

[gentle flax]

for free, i can even upload it to steamgriddb, cuz no thinked of this...

im broke

[radiant socket]

nvm then

[gentle flax]

its ok ig, sorry :/

[radiant socket]

its coo dw you don't have to apologize

but i js have that hustler mindset so im not doing it for free sorry

[bleak hamlet]

I wonder if there's gonna be a subnautica above one

[cloud sigil]

AMAZING

what a game

[wanton peak]

Takes place in the tropics of 4546B

[cloud sigil]

whats your favorite bed everybody?

mine is parvans

It's getting hard to breathe

[bleak hamlet]

Driving in my seamoth right after water

hey that bump looks like a reaper

yeah i tried

[desert sleet]

how does your game look so good

thats how js bellow zero looks or its some settings

[violet kettle]

Thats just subnautica

[bleak hamlet]

That's just subnautica what?

[violet kettle]

Just subnautica, the original game

[sacred jungle]

HEY! MY SEATRUCK. stop that now

[sacred jungle]

sounds like the void

[unkempt ermine]

Well I thought I was in the ||fabricator caverns||, but according to my scanner room I'm in the farlands

[sacred jungle]

crazy

[spiral isle]

I’m not sure. I just have PS5 BZ on performance mode

[desert sleet]

ohh thats why

[unique delta]

How easy is it to complete this game with zero outside help, I heavily spoiled myself for subnautica 1 watching youtube playthroughs and im curious as to whether or not i could do bz blind

[copper wedge]

you probably can, theres a few areas where it would be tricky but with the ||map|| you'll be alright i think

[steel stream]

Explore, scan everything, read pda

[toxic ocean]

It’ll take a good bit of searching but it’s possible

[reef ginkgo]

losing the fight so bad he had to run off into the void

I swear this game got me feeling like captain ahab

[spiral isle]

What are Quantum lockers actually useful for ? I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere

[grand haven]

[obtuse slate]

just had a dream abt unknown worlds making a april fools joke where they copy below zero and make a new game called "IQ below zero" and its just subnautica below zero but everything sounds stupid by being mispronounced and every creature makes goofy noises, oh yea alan was just a horse
example peeper was named pepper and bladder fish was the peefish
i remember like 2 others thats it
best dream ive had in a while

[obtuse slate]

subnautica 2:

[rocky crescent]

||does alan have freedom motif||

[toxic ocean]

i was today years old when i found out i can breed squidsharks

time to destabilize some ecosystems

[bronze escarp]

Does bz have a stasis rifle?

[toxic ocean]

No

They found out it was too busted

[bronze escarp]

How long does it take to scan shadow

[merry steeple]

||wasn't there more songs on the jukebox when below zero was released? I could've sworn there was more than 1||

[toxic ocean]

You gotta find them

[latent nebula]

I found 3 more, I think
Might have missed some

[merry steeple]

Huh is that a new feature? During the early release they were just on the jukebox

Didn't have to find them if I remember

[toxic ocean]

On pc you can add your own music apparently

[spiral isle]

Everytime I come back to this game I’m reminded of how beautiful it actually is

[inner fractal]

use grapple and drill. grapple allows you to stay connected as long as you don't let go.

[turbid jay]

chat, i havent played below zero yet so should i play it? I found a bit of hate towards this game so like is it worth it?

[steel stream]

If you look for example steam ratings, it's still considered a good game

[next current]

If you liked Subnautica, then you'll like BZ.

[toxic ocean]

it's pretty much more subnautica
but it's also different from the first game, which is why people hate it

[sand sparrow]

I wonder what exactly people hate about BZ

[wanton peak]

I personally think that the creature designs are even better than the first

[next current]

A lot of factors. Some people don't like the story, some don't like the map size, some don't think the creature designs aren't as scary, and several other nitpicks people like to make.

[sand sparrow]

Same, though I guess people consider them to be less frightening than the leviathans (and even regular creatures) of the first game

[wanton peak]

True

I feel like they lean more into the speculative biology

And I am a huge biology nerd

But I guess they feel less like alien monsters and more like animals

[sand sparrow]

Yeah precisely

I suppose the first game was just too iconic for bz to handle

Even the absence of an Aurora-like structure on the map is already a noticeable change, positive or negative

[toxic ocean]

I heard the reaper is designed more like a monster than an animal

I didn’t know below zero leaned even more into biology tho

[wanton peak]

Yeah! A good lot of the designs are based on combinations of real animals.

On top of that I feel like the designs do a lot more to show how the critters adapted to specific environments

[blazing gazelle]

RAY TRACING ON VS OFF (first on second off and yeah i didnt set it up ideally so it may be a bit wonky but this is to demonstrate)

and another

the bloom isnt from the ray tracing btw

heres on without setting up a stationary path tracing light source

real-time playable btw

[copper wedge]

how

[unique needle]

@white crescent ||why are we acting like her being the one of two suriviours of 4546B ISNT making her a legend ||

[white crescent]

Really?

[unique needle]

also idk why only getting 2 missions makes her not a legend

[white crescent]

Bro, should I remind that that she killed Leviafan without any specific tools or weapons, used his body as cover, and made all her way from zone of SN1 to SN BZ?

[unique needle]

yep

[white crescent]

She did it without any damn tools

[unique needle]

she used a knife for the leviathan but yeah

[white crescent]

She IS a legend, no matter if you like it or not

[unique needle]

your the one saying she isnt?

or well not atleast in bz

[copper wedge]

||marg is a living beast dude||

[white crescent]

Ordinary human wouldnt survive even 1 day on 4546B, as we saw from SN1

[unique needle]

fr

[copper wedge]

isnt ryley an ordinary human tho

[unique needle]

hold on vro what are we arguing about if we both agree shes a legend

[unique needle]

yessirrr

[white crescent]

Sorry, misunderstood

[copper wedge]

ryley is literally just a chief maintenance worker 😭

[white crescent]

My problem is that she didnt get enough content in BZ, she doesnt teach you anything interesting, she exists in BZ only for a short cutscene with her PRAWN suit and 1 or 2 quests when you need to visit her bases

Thats not exactly what you expecting from someone who was known as legend in SN1 and most of data records in both games

IMHO, devs should gave her more impact on story

[unique needle]

yeah ig her giving the player some new knowledge/unique blueprints would of been cool

[radiant socket]

how would you improve her?

[unique needle]

like being able to make your prawn suit like hers, but i think she was sort of a side character, || the majority of BZ is a new story, but still on alterra abd 4546B, and she just slightly adds and explains what happened ||

[white crescent]

Well, she hates Alterra, right? Then she should have some scenes or missions for player where we need to steal data for her, spoil equipment of Alterra, that is still operational, etc.

[unique needle]

nah that wouldnt fit subnautica

[radiant socket]

don't you literally do that to the radio tower thing on delta island

[unique needle]

yeah you already do that but its an open world your own pace survival game

not an RPG

[radiant socket]

also ts

[white crescent]

It doesnt feels like something important, IMHO

[radiant socket]

it is a side mission for a side character tho

[ruby fractal]

is bellow zero underrated?

[unique needle]

massively

or not under rated but over hated

[ruby fractal]

Could u give me some reasons because i seen some gameplays i really didnt think about it

Like is it more ‘scary’

[unique needle]

its mainly in comparison to the first one, its still a great game however it just doesnt do everything as well as the first game (that parts subjective)

it has a general few "flaws" and stuff but people cant act like the first game didnt either, im not sure if i can give specific examples without spoilers

[ruby fractal]

Alright thank you dude

[toxic ocean]

It’s got a smaller map and a clunky story but the game is still solid subnautica stuff

Not as scary tho

[ruby fractal]

I would prob buy it

[unique needle]

definetly do if you enjoyed the lore of the first game as it dives deeper into it

[ruby fractal]

I seen some clips of margaret or sun

Jumping in the main character

I mean not like that

[violet kettle]

Wouldnt say underrated but more of a overhated

[ruby fractal]

👍

[unique needle]

3 mins late smh arent you meant to be shleepin

[ruby fractal]

Do you think if i see some gameplays it would effect?

[violet kettle]

Turns out you cant fall asleep while looking at your phone

[unique needle]

uhhh maybe, if you look for no spoiler reviews maybe?

or look at a youtuber lets play and only watch the first 10 mins/ 1st episode

[spice sentinel]

Guys, who is this person? he was inside the game files.

[ruby fractal]

Alright

Thank u

[obtuse slate]

john subnautica

[unique needle]

np, idk if it is right now (or if below zero does) but subnautica has had a lot of sales recently and i iamgine there will be a christmas one probably for BZ too so if you wanna wait a bit you may save some money but up to you and no gurantee

[toxic ocean]

It’s Scott, a developer

AKA Obraxis Prime

I think

I’m taking a guess since we did see him in the sn2 interview

[copper wedge]

looks like obraxis

[unique needle]

like the planet /j

[unique needle]

@merry hedge ||it wasnt margeurit who blew it up, it was sam, she just supplied the explosives ||

[merry hedge]

||No, Marguriet said in the data entry that she would blow it up, and that it would be fun||

[unique needle]

|| she may said she would of but sam is the one who did ||

[merry hedge]

I’m not fully through with Below Zero yet, but I know what happens. ||I wonder if it’ll tell me why she did it||

[unique needle]

|| oh alr, it will if you explore the cave theres a bunch of voice logs basically reconstructing it ||

[merry hedge]

||I have been to the cave already, so I know what happened, but what’s really confusing to me is why she was so adamant that the security guy stay back, and why the bomb went off when he got too close||

[unique needle]

|| well she was causing a cave in basically where he was standing so that’s why she wanted him to go back and I cannot remember enough about the bomb ||

[merry hedge]

Possibly. I’ll check back in once I know I’ve completed the story

[unique needle]

I’ve just checked and yeah it doesn’t really say

|| it’s possible Sam rigged/ was in the process of rigging the explosives to detonate upon a tripwire or something similiar that would of triggered it, and parvan was unluckily walking to said detonator ||

There was a Hoverfish variant that was cut from the game. Really sad, as it was incredibly adorable and cool in its design.

Anyone know how to get gamepad input to work correctly on macOS? My right stick controls looking up and down and my triggers control looking side-to-side. Other buttons are all wrong too.

I found some old Steam posts but nothing recent https://steamcommunity.com/app/264710/discussions/3/1658943116242610940/

Subnautica (not BZ) works fine, but BZ is erratic

So when the thingy gets out of the head, do the sea monkeys resume their nature to take things away from you?

[toxic ocean]

Yes

[peak perch]

I am having issues with the hologram within the control room. My base used to have a very low level vs the main area, and when ever i interacted with the table control, it could only show the lowest part but i couldn't make it go "down" to access parts of the main level above.
I removed the inferior level, and I can't have access to the main level area yet, when i interact with it

[little sparrow]

I got it to work by emulating the Windows version

[idle arrow]

im gonna cry WHY HAS IT GLITCHED INTO THE FACILITY

are we fr rn </3

[stoic surge]

Tripwires are generally used if you want to eliminate a person, but I thought they just wanted to ||collapse the cave|| ... so that setup would be kinda different .. probably

[unique needle]

yeah they did, it isnt clear and not explained i just generally think its something set up to detonate when someone crossed something and || sam only intended for her to be leaving || ig the other explanation is || parvan distracted her? but then idk why she didnt want him coming closer, so i got no idea ||

[stoic surge]

Yeap, and we have to remember, Sam's expertise was not ||demolishions|| either

[unique needle]

|| yeah i was thinking that, she doesnt seem the smartest overall from what i remember of the story ||

@lyric kernel || pretty sure its confirmed in BZ throuhg a pda she rode a reaper's corpse through until she reached sector zero, and the reaper meat gave a cure or vaccine or something to remove the virus ||

[lyric kernel]

||oh yeah you can’t find a reaper with kharaa||

[unique needle]

|| yeah all leviathans other then juvenille reefbacks seem to be immune ||

[grand haven]

||the truth is that she did the Cyclops glitch and got flung all the way to Sector 0 ||

[atomic walrus]

hey does anyone know how to get lithum im pretty new to subnautica and have 5 hours of playtime

[next current]

You can find early game Lithium in the Thermal Spires and the Purple Vents. I recommend crafting a Mineral Detector to make finding it easier.

[atomic walrus]

how do i find that? i mean im not on below zero so i might be on the wrong channel?

[next current]

Oh. Yeah just go to #subnautica-chat if you're playing SN1.

[mystic wyvern]

Well, so far I enjoy the sea 🐒

Ive been breeding them. On egg number 7 so far

[toxic ocean]

i saved and stopped at the moment before you ||make alan's body|| so the sea monkeys won't go back to robbing me again
it's for my own sanity and their safety

[ivory lagoon]

Yeah

[silver hawk]

Hi, I have the following problem. Can anyone help me?
I have Wireframe enabled in Below Zero and it cannot be disabled

[eternal garnet]

are you on a mac?

[silver hawk]

no is a pc windows 11

[eternal garnet]

strange. Did you restart the game

[silver hawk]

I reinstalled and disabled the PC drivers for the card and the system, I also checked

[eternal garnet]

Are you on steam?
Did you enter any "Launch options"?

[silver hawk]

yes my launch options is normal my friend doesn't have this problem

[eternal garnet]

You are using the multiplayer mod I think. Try without this

just because it's not a normal setup

[silver hawk]

without him it's the same no matter what I did it doesn't go away

[eternal garnet]

Which GPU? Are you on steam?

[silver hawk]

rtx 5060 ti

[copper wedge]

jesus

[eternal garnet]

So. It's possible to put special settings per game, in nVidia driver config. If you did, undo this

I've no clue really. Try other similar games, like SN1 or something else made in Unity

it looks like a mac bug that I have a fix for

[silver hawk]

sn1 works normally

[eternal garnet]

maybe @ignis has a clue

@bold monolith failed ping

[bold monolith]

The log file maybe. It's the first time I see something like that. Windows key + r, shell:localappdatalow\unknown worlds\subnautica below zero\, paste your Player.log here.

[bold monolith]

The bunch of fallbacks isn't normal. Can you screenshot your installation folder?

[eternal garnet]

weird data-0000027FCD5BD010.dll

[bold monolith]

It looks like the kind of injection a mod launcher would make.

[eternal garnet]

idea: Wipe install folder, then reinstall. You could rescue save folder if you like, it's in SNAppData\SavedGames

But saves may be in steam cloud anyway

[modest niche]

The mineral detector uses way too much power

maybe I'm an outcast in that belief but it should be reduced by like 40% in sub2 if its in there

youre already giving up slower movement speed by having a tool out, the fact it runs out in no time almost makes me not wanna use it at all useless im looking for something very specific

[toxic ocean]

swim charge fins negate that but it's painfully slow

[ashen wedge]

Well you have to consider that buffing it could replace it with the scanner room completely.

[latent adder]

Just started my first Below Zero playthrough because it’s almost December

Got 45 minutes in, game crashed after I sliced a piece of table coral, and I lost 20 minutes of progress

I’ve already found ||the Glow Whales, Delta station, a Squidshark, and had the first Maida cutscene||

[opal charm]

Messed with the wrong coral

They aren't playing around

[polar ridge]

|| i can't find maguerits's base after i deactivate the signal thing WHERE IS IT??||

[ornate tendon]

That sucks. I wouldn't let it discourage you though. I have over 200 hours between both Subnauticas, with maybe only 1 crash. So in my experience they are extremely rare.

But it could also be something with your system. Do you have adequate specs? This game tends to like SSDs more then HDDs as well.

[toxic ocean]

Yeah it happens, traumatized me into saving ever few minutes

[toxic ocean]

You’re looking for the ||greenhouse|| right?

Start at delta dock and go east

Keep going until you’re about 1000m away from the delta beacon

Then continue southeast and you should be close

[modest niche]

There is a sea monkey coloured cave if you approach from the east, go down, and then take a left

[opal flicker]

Hey so can someone review something for me

[copper wedge]

what is it

[opal flicker]

It's a speedrun guide

I just need a once over to verify some information

[copper wedge]

idk speedruns so i'm afraid i'll be of no use 😭

[opal flicker]

Oh it's literally just

Materials

It's all the materials and locations for all seatruck modules

[torn fable]

fun fact, using the command console the seamoth, boneshark, and stasis rifle can be spawned.

[grand haven]

Frosti is a BZ runner. I wonder if he would be of any help

[opal flicker]

Ping em idk who they is

[grand haven]

@teal stream

[teal stream]

?

[bold tiger]

ya so where do i find lithium?

[copper wedge]

purple vents

[bold tiger]

ahh okay thanks

[toxic ocean]

I just had a dumb idea

Vents
Venting
Mental health
Vental health

[toxic ocean]

i am evil

if snowfox doesnt work on water

just BUILD A HIGHWAY

in creative

so far it's just between my drop pod and ||phi robotics||

[grand haven]

Sorry, read a few messages above

Not above this message but the ping

[mystic wyvern]

I just use the prawn, but I dont doubt the snow fox isnt faster, I never found the 2nd scan for its blueprint.

[opal flicker]

Oceans Grey

[toxic ocean]

prawn can go faster with movement tech
I just wanted to do something fun in creative mode

[polar ridge]

Dont hold your breath
In these ocean depths 🔥🔥

[hearty cipher]

WTF is this!?!? (Below zero)

[copper wedge]

bug i presume

[hearty cipher]

💀 b u g s

B u g s

[eternal garnet]

or, system disk full

[hearty cipher]

I don't have the subnautica disc I got this from the ps store (wtf is wrong with my typing)

[copper wedge]

not what meatie meant

your device disk drive i think

[eternal garnet]

yes. SN does something unexpected: copies a world to your sytem drive and then loads terrain from that

[hearty cipher]

bugs

[empty fern]

is there a limit to where pipes work or smth cuz i made a pipe system but like after 50m the pipes start tweaking out

like it will only let me place them horziontally

[crisp trellis]

i might be cooked

[violet kettle]

i dont see nun wrong

[crisp trellis]

look closer

[violet kettle]

its like 3 countries away twin, youll be fine

[crisp trellis]

my heart wont be

i just wanted some lithium bro why didnt the tutorial guy warn me

[crisp trellis]

do plants respawn?

[copper wedge]

idts

[crisp trellis]

is there a way to grow them like how you can breed fish in aquariums?

[copper wedge]

growbeds

also fish dont breed in aquariums..

[crisp trellis]

i meant alien containment

[copper wedge]

ah

[bronze trench]

Whats there, there’s nothing there

[copper wedge]

cheli

[twilit otter]

this thing looks depressing

[empty fern]

sea monkeys r such a cheat code

[toxic ocean]

Plants can be cut with the knife to get seeds

Some plants can just be planted tho like kelp seeds or shrub nut

[twilit otter]

what is this trapdoor for? it seems to go to nothing

[empty fern]

do domesticated sea monkeys give stuff

[twilit otter]

you can domesticate them?

[toxic ocean]

Once you get modules for the truck you’ll see

It’s actually the seat of the vehicle, it unfolds when you pilot it

[toxic ocean]

I’m just gonna say that there is a specific early game story event that decides the monkeys’ behaviour

Don’t worry tho, it’s a mandatory mission

[empty fern]

no ik im talking about sea monkeys in containment

cause i could exploit that if they do give items in containment

[twilit otter]

ohh i see

[toxic ocean]

i don't think so, but you can try breeding them and releasing a bunch

just be careful after ||alan leaves your head||, it'll be a theft fest

[copper wedge]

the chair goes up from that

you can see it if you set your fov to max

in the animation of getting in the seat

[empty fern]

awwww sea monkey baby

[twilit otter]

what does the yellow mean

nv,m

i did all that just trying to dock lmao

[copper wedge]

durability

[twilit otter]

yueah ik

[twilit otter]

how tf do i stop exiting my seatruck into the water

and how do i stop going to drive when i enter

i think i figured it outr

[toxic ocean]

Angle of the truck

[twilit otter]

I figured it out, thanks tho

[twilit otter]

this docking station is actually awesome

[copper wedge]

what the dock??

[twilit otter]

I ran out of power almost immediately lol

[gritty marsh]

hi

imma in this since i already 90% completed subnautica only need to craft neptune and disable the gun

[spiral isle]

Usually I struggle with the Glacial basin but I completely fluked my way around it this time lol

[modest niche]

so in subnautica1, you can use a coffee machine for technically infinite h2o
in bz, is there anything like that, that is that convenient

cause in sub 1, it doesnt even use power iirc

im not asking for practical purposes, just, whether there is a infinite source of food/water, thats as convenient as just 4 titanium and a glass and now you never need to worry about food or water

i know you could also just carry 4 titanium and a seed to make food, just then you also have to wait for it to grow

[spiral isle]

I think there’s many ways that are basically infinite. Like fevered pepper trees, marblemelon growbeds. I think they changed the coffee machine in BZ to only be body heat but I’m not 100% certain

[modest niche]

yeah its 50+ heat, and -2 h2o
im just trying to power game

in sub1 id just have a coffee and vending machine in my cyclops so if I ever was like OH NO, id be fine lmao

[spiral isle]

A basically infinite way I found later on was a water filtration machine for the salt, and frost vase plants to make water tablets then set up my base near delta station and it’s infinite snowballs lol

Not nearly as efficient but once it’s set up it works great

[wind abyss]

Fact: Subnautica b-z is my first ever game I played. Ngl this is too nostalgic for me. My first game can be Minecraft. My first game can be roblox. but my first game is really really Subnautica below zero, just sayin

[modest niche]

yeah nah I have an entire locker just full of large filtered water, its not an actual problem
I just thought it was really funny in sub1 when I was like, oh I'm low on food/water
make I compartment, make hatch, make coffee machine, make vending machine, fully restore vitals, deconstruct, go on with the rest of my day lmao

[spiral isle]

lol yeah I really like BZ’s farming options tbh it’s probably the only thing I like better than SN1

[modest niche]

I prefer BZ's base building, I do prefer sub1 as a whole but its not because I dislike BZ
The only things I dislike about BZ, and I think are actual problems, is scannables are too isolated, and I can't tell if they made specific caves too narrow to use vehicles in on purpose or not

[spiral isle]

Yeah I think SN1 is the better game but that’s really not a complaint or hate on BZ. They’re both amazing games

[modest niche]

because if it was on purpose, because they thought that vehicles being able to be used EVERYWHERE just removed any of the horror/fear of it, I think they maybe went a little far, but I can respect it if that was the case

theyre just different games

also whoever made sure we could put penglings in aquariums, they need a god damn raise

[crisp trellis]

omg theyre so cute😭 but the adults are ugly as hell. is there a way to keep them babies?💔

[grand haven]

Perhaps banishing them to a normal aquarium helps

[crisp trellis]

ill have to try for sure

are there cuddlefish in bz?

[grand haven]

No

BZ has the Trivalves instead

[crisp trellis]

the blue one is cute

where do i find it?

[grand haven]

Wiki says West Arctic

I think the eggs might be inside the icebergs there

[crisp trellis]

damn ill have to look up a guide tyy

[eternal garnet]

two in a cave on an ice lake, just ||south-west of tissues cache||

[grand haven]

Isn't that ||Arctic Spires?||

[eternal garnet]

yes

two more on ||an iceberg in the west arctic||

[grand haven]

West Arctic is probably safer I imagine

[eternal garnet]

you need a jumping vehicle, or tether

grapple

[grand haven]

Or you construct a tube with hatches like speedrunners

Build a tube high up, put a hatch underneath, dive down a bit, and then get yeeted up by the airbladder to reach the high up hatch, and build another hatch from inside

[eternal garnet]

or, use an easier method

[grand haven]

Clip yourself outside a tube using a counter so that you can build furniture outside to build yourself stairs

Parcour

[crisp trellis]

im fairly new to the game so i wont be reading spoilers, sorry!

but thank you for the tips everyone, i appreciate it🩷

[crisp trellis]

where should i place my snowfox hoverpad?

[violet kettle]

on a nearby piece of land

[crisp trellis]

yeah but whats the optimal place

[violet kettle]

there is no optimal space

i mean i guess it is at the big piece of land

[modest niche]

I would make a couple, for convenience, but really you only need 1
Keep in mind, you can pick the thing up, power cells only take up 1 inventory slot, there arent that many land areas anyway
and if youre really, really insistent
the storage space of the quantum locker is 4x4, and in inventory the snowfox takes up 3x3, so youd have 7 slots left in it
the locker in inventory takes up 2x2

[toxic ocean]

right where the different paths converge

[rare talon]

ive had below zero on my steam account since 2021 but i never stuck with it

im gonna try play it again but actually finish it

[crisp trellis]

bro why is the snowfox so hard to manouver

[radiant socket]

maybe a skill issue idk

[crisp trellis]

cold suit helmet or rebreather

[spiral isle]

It depends what you’re doing

You don’t need the helmet underwater and you don’t need the rebreather on land lol

[gentle flax]

BZ is no longer canon because i saw Ryley Robinson in the voices of the deep podcast...sorry not sorry :/

[pearl crown]

||hi||
