Make yourself a reference sheet
but i dont wanna :(
Then please just start referring to the wiki instead of asking the same questions
I'm sorry chat i just wanna know
Is food and water just so much more accessible in Below Zero or is it just me?
Yeah
Anemone hearts and the mushrooms are available in the starting area
Later game spoiler
||And you can just get an automatic water suit||
That was in the first game too
I get the valid points of criticism that this game gets but it’s still Subnautica and still amazing for sure
Oh yeah no doubt, I loved below zero
i just got a new pc so i can run below zero higher than 20 fps
does anyone know where the table coral are in below zero i think i found them but it wont let me grab it
From your drop pod, go south and downward, and you'll need a knife to harvest them
thank you
Best to search at night, as they have a reddish glow
Same dawg except for SN2.
really?? in this economy?? damn congratulations lol
Honestly I thought it would be mediocre compared to SN1, but it actually surprised me how good and unique it is
Pre-built PC's are always going to be way affordable then buying individual parts and assembling a computer yourself.
i really wanna try building my own pc one day but not any time soon 😭
the ram these days is WILD
I’m pretty sure AI companies aren’t making much profits if any so it should start going down again 🎉
hell yeah 🔥🔥
Really? When I got a new pc a while back I noticed the opposite
PLEASE I gotta buy more ram
Just download some fr
its my brothers old pc, my brother got a brand new one i got black and he got white
still need a hard drive though
nice
Got architect Z13 what do I do to activate other locations
It's via a matter of time.
Iirc, there's two more artifacts that can be revealed after Z13
hello im chelicerate
Mmmmh......shrimp 
Hey quick question what are the scary mean black fish that have blue accents near the thermal spires?
o those are my friends
Yeah I actually don’t like them
cryptosuchus
Thank you I hate them
run them over with your seatruck
That solves most creature issues, funnily enough
i only eat bladderfish and hoopfish
Cryptosuchus
i eat divers
i saw you a few hours ago why u no eat me?
hello chelicerate
chat how do you do it? this is my 3rd time starting wubnautica BZ just to delete the game 20 minutes after
wdym
what do you hate so much about it
mostly because of how big of a downgrade it is after playing subnautica
Honestly i haven’t seen it as a downgrade since I started playing
If anything it’s an upgrade
It’s just smaller
I really like it, it seems more in depth in some aspects
yeah with more settings and more buildin stuff
I honestly like a lot of the biomes too. Some of the biomes in SN1 are a little bland
downgrade in map size and story? that's valid
but everything else I feel like is better
it's a case of me liking the changes
i agree thats a point for BZ
dont get me wrong i dont think BZ is a bad game its just hard to keep the motivation to play it after finishing SN1
The funny part is for me that was my one motivation to play 😭 I was tired of playing Subnautica 1
Actually that’s fair
guess i need to play more subnautica then
I really like the destruct seatruck but it doesn’t really compare to the cyclops and seamoth
It is interesting how it’s like a mixture of them
the CYCMOTH and Temu Prawn dont really live up to SN1 vehicles
i agree sea truck is a cool concept and cyclops isnt fit for BZ but still
the truck should have been reworked
I actually like the truck the most
combining the seamoth and cyclops is really convenient for me
and the prawn is an absolute demon on land
pls help, i have too many Preston's leaves😭 😭 😭
I think you have to dispose of some
Either use, dispose or plant some.
Don’t you plant the fruit?
yeah
so on low graphics, seems like the snowfox freezes in place during some areas
i'm think Spicy Fruit Salad is very underrated
what a review
End of game spoiler
||Is giving the antidote it? Was that the main storyline?||
that's the ||side storyline||
you still need to ||build alan's body||
Playing BZ now 
Yo guys, I put a base down by the northern ventgarden where I get a great view of the Chelicerate, Ventgarden, and the glow whales. But I ended up getting grabbed by the Chelicerate and shocked it, then it ran a biome away to the world's edge and it won't come back. Will it eventually pathfind back to its world spawn or did I just lose my great view?
I would be happy if that happened
This brings me a question:
How many chelicerates are in the map and can they respawn?
!wiki underwater islands
Iirc 4 chelicerates in the map, and they don't respawn if you kill them.
No. It's not.
i think that below zero has better building mechanics then the original game
the mechanics are pretty much identical, wdym?
Something about it just makes it better it might be the environment or lighting I just like it better
Or the fact it’s easier to get the materials
But it might not be that
best place for lead?
prob grassy plateaus for sandstone
below zero?
oh i'm so dyslexic
nvm wait lemme google sorry
||twisty bridges, delta island caves, and thermal spires|| have some
i like never click on this channel but for some reason i did and didnt read the channel name 😭
thank you sir
i shall search
please dont call me that 🙏
Where can I find the spiral plant? I think they’re in ventagardens, but I don’t know where any of them are
very bottom of this pic MAP SPOILERS
hold up that ones kinda messy
It’s beautiful
I see
I just don’t wanna run into a Chelsea
Geninuely a great map
its pretty i agree
again, map spoilers, but heres about where you need to go
Also, I’m saddened by the fact that you can’t find all the P.R.A.W.N. fragments in the same place like SN1
i mean you kinda can
iirc theres enough at the ||koppa mining site||
sector zero is the entire map
I mean
sector zero is the sbz version of the sn1 crater
The 0 place at the top of the map
maby i should have spoilerd that
ohhh right
||WHY is delta island SOOO HARDDD TO GET ON TOP OF||
||outpost zero||, eh?
it's pretty simple
||ive been trying for 10 minutes to get to the radio tower||
follow the path and some lights and you'll get up just fine
go to the ||delta station dock marker|| then follow the path, it'll take you through some small caves but eventually you'll get there easily
you're not meant to scale the side like a mountain
damn
AAAAAAAAAA
Is there any special loot at the ||koppa mining site||?
a bunch
The real benchmark is the sulfur research desk
Position yourself so that it’s on your left, then the exit ahead is the path to the top
||large resource deposits, prawn fragments, a prawn upgrade, some databoxes i think, a few other fragments, and a bit more you'll have to see for yourself||
its really not that difficult 😭
Wait really? I only found the titanium deposits and all that stuff
you dont know what im going through
it took me
almost 15 minutes
Wait what prawn suit upgrade?
you gotta go all the way through and theres a bit of an opening where theres some diamond
jump jets upgrade iirc
new base pieces are damn near impossible to mod in sadly
i can't wait for custom room sizes in sn2
||wish we got a prawnsuit docking palce for the base, just like a hatch where the prawnsuit connects to||
moonpool my beloved
but like a window piece
maybe in sn2 for the new mech
That would cook
Being able to make a mini version of your vehicles to decorate the base is what I wish for 🗣️
or, hear me out, a way to attach seatruck modules directly to the base seamlessly without the seatruck or seatruck dock so you could have a prawn dock module straight into the base
cheesedoodle
really dont get why they didnt let us use this piece
also
||when should i start visiting the crystal cave?||
Whenever you get the seatruck module that lets you go on the surface of the cave
Should I get below zero?
wait what the hell
I never realized it was a square
yeah
watch a review for the game first
Indeed
I just moved from SN1 to BZ and it’s def an upgrade
Different, but awesome

I think BZ is the better game but the SN1 story is better but I'm a seatruck boy
I prefer BZ, but SN1 has stronger nostalgia. Which is nice
Yeah honestly the only downside I have with the seatruck is that you can’t actually put anything in there
If you could actually just have a room where you could put like a battery charger, modification station, etc it would be nice
Like the cyclops
Ik everything about the game just don’t got personal experiences
play it! Great game
Do you like what you know about the game?
If you know everything about the game than you dont really need to play it because past learning it there isn't much to do once you know what to do
Hello, my name is Melody 😭✌️ Please put Marguerite Maida on the market, she's a great character, I love her 😭✌️✨
the market?? we banished that 200 years ago 😭
I don't want to buy or steal the character 😭😭 I want a Marguerite and Preston plushie 😭😭
OH
specify next time 😭😭😭
it did kinda sound like slavery i cant lie
I didn't understand...
Slavery?
when people have ownership of other people illegally and make them do unpaid labor
I know what it is, but I don't see why we're talking about it
Cause you brought slavery up
I hope subnautica bz gets added to mobile for sum reason
Just finished below zero. I have a fair few criticisms, but I can't imagine I'll say anything that hasn't already been said. I did enjoy it overall though. If the plot didn't suck I think I would've loved it. Seatruck was great. It's not quite the seamoth but it's still a fun vehicle, and I love how you can customize it. It's almost like a cyclops upgrade to me, just way better. I wish the red crystal cave area had a little more going on? But oh well, not every biome can be jam packed with interesting stuff I guess. Solid 6.5, maybe a 7/10 experience for me.
Just pls no more long land segments in subnautica 2.
My drawing is wonky 😭😭
(Post-game)
Guys, my main base in at Glacial Bay (land/aquatic) and I lack resources to build more bases in different biomes, where should I build resource bases to get it?
Thermal Spires, World Edge, Tree Spires, and the ||Crystal Caverns||.
Well
Just trucked into the worlds edge while trying to find Maida’s greenhouse
I figured it out though
Bruh why is there ventgardens by the Glacial Bay
Is there? I need a screenshot.
It's so far away from their paths. I assume you're speaking about the juveniles.
you mean the eye jellies?
Oh, probably
Is there a way I can get my data back I was like about to finish the game and now it says this 😤
@bold monolith is this real?
It put me back at the start, no explanation
Thx
Is World Edge rlly good for resources?
The World Edge only has drillable Titanium, Copper, and Quartz deposits.
They're scarce but I find myself going there from time to time to get them.
Thx a lot
No reason it wouldn't be.
What resource base would u recommend me building first?
(Need building materials)
Now im actually interested what it is
Thermal Spires bordering the Twisty Bridges with a Scanner Room with HUD chip.
All breakable nodes can give Titanium.
Are you playing on PC? You can sometimes load the save just fine, but it seems like at least one major file is corrupted.
The problem is that it's probably full of null bytes.
Yes I am
How do you shut down your computer? Are you holding the power button?
Why?
You see, it could happen because of bad practices. Even if the game is closed disk writes are asynchronous. So if you didn't crash the last time that's the reason.
I've seen plenty of people with that issue.
Yeah I don’t crash at all
How do you usually stop your computer then?
I go to the window button at the bottom press it then press shut down
No power outage? Because if you stop your computer properly there was no reason for this.
You can just put your computer to sleep.
Thx again 🙏
So you did shut down the computer the wrong way. :þ
What abt a biome with drillable deposits?
As I said though, the file is probably full of null bytes.
There is no way to retrieve its data.
I think u should close the game first
It already is
yeah I do that usually
Oh
If you use alt f4 to close the game that could corrupt the save as well. Regardless something did happen. They don't get corrupted normally.
Nah I didn’t do that either
I know I didn’t
But it was probably when I pressed play on it one time it said something about it since there was a orange exclamation mark next to the play button and then when I pressed play idk it was just damaged for some reason
But it’s weird since it said 2015
If the metadata file gets corrupted the game recreates one with 2015 as a date. It isn't that weird.
What abt a biome with large ore deposits (besides world edge)?
The metadata file is gameinfo.json.
You can still play the game with a corrupted metadata file, it isn't a problem.
The problem comes from the binary files.
If those are corrupted you lose your progress.
||Crystal Caverns||, Arctic Spires, Koppa Mining Site, and the sea floor of the Eastern/Western Ice Berg Zones
How to I view mine?
scene-objects.bin contains progression, inventory, equipment, etc. global-objects.bin contains bases, vehicles and their content.
But if you spawn at the beginning that means scene-objects.bin is corrupted.
And from my experience when that happens it's usually empty.
No data at all, just a bunch of null bytes.
That's why you can confirm it by opening that file with notepad.
Yep well I did enter the world it spawned me right back at the start where you crash into the ice
Right click on the game on Steam, properties, installed files, browse.
Enter SNAppData/SavedGames/slot00xx.
And then you'll find those files.
It says savedgamesbackup does that mean anything?
It was used for converting save files after a previous update. If you did that recently you could recover a previous state.
Check if you have something in it.
After that my files say options slot 0000 and steam_autocloud
slot0000 is your first save, and then it's incremented.
slot0001, etc.
If you have only one that's where the save is.
If you open slot0000 you'll see the scene-objects and global-objects. But again they're probably just full of null bytes. Open them with notepad you'll see a bunch of nothingness.
If you have a HDD you could try a file recovery software but don't expect a miracle.
If you have a SSD forget about it.
You can also check Steam cloud, you never know.
How do I know which one I have not to sound like a bozo
But it does give me an account of when I go to steam cloud
Are the files empty?
No
When you open them with notepad you have something?
What? They shouldn't have that. :þ
It gives me my account id I think
Yes I said you could check if the save was synchronized after your corruption. Let me find the url again.
What did it say?
Windows + r, steam://openurl/https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=848450
This will open this.
Wait, not the right one.
I don’t know if it’s normal but in the cell cache file this popped up
848450 is BZ.
This goes to 20
CellsCache isn't mandatory you can play a save without.
It keeps track of things in your world but if it doesn't exist the game will just regenerate the map.
Appreciate it 🙏
well ok then
What you want to play a game are scene-objects and global-objects they are the important files there.
When I open them in notepad they don’t show anything though
You have those, but they're probably corrupted that's why you spawn at the beginning. And if they're empty there is no more data in them.
Yes that's what I thought. They are unrecoverable.
The data is gone.
Check if they're empty from there.
If you download them here, maybe Steam cloud didn't synchronize your data with the corrupted versions.
I mean, if you played less than two hours you can ask Steam for a refund.
It's a bit late then.
The important thing is to prevent this again if you replay at some point. I insist a bit but it isn't common. People with corrupted saves are people who had crashes at the moment of saving, power outage, or they have bad practices when they shut down their computer.
You said you didn't have any of that, which is very odd.
I didn’t crash I didn’t open anything shady like malware or anything else that could’ve damaged my files
It’s the only thing on my desktop which is weird
Thank you for your time though
I’ve never understood why below zero ain’t Subnautica 2
Because it’s a spin-off
It’s subnautica 1.5
its not a sequel to subnautica
Because its a glorified DLC.
its not really close
started as one, yeah
but calling it that isnt accurate
should i get below zero i finished main game twice once freedom and another in hardcore, do i get below zero
Yes. Be aware it's different, but it's a good game. You talk. You are not alone. No cyclops
And different pda voice
Nahh, who even needs that huge lumbering beast
I like Subnautica
The map is way better in the first one tho imo
I agree! The biomes are much more beautiful than the first game.
Should I get a snowfox to go around the land section or should I just get my prawn suit walking up there?
Many prefer prawn, but snowfox can also be fun to drive (and it gives achievement)
I beat Subnautica: below zero!
Lowkey I heard the P.R.A.W.N. was downgraded in BZ..but to me it seems better
The thrusters seem way stronger
Only its crush deptht was
For balancing reasons
yeah
The thrusters are more precise this time
They nerfed the grapple mostly
Why did cyclops become a long seamoth in below zero
We’ll never know
Honestly the only thing I don’t like about the seatruck is that you can use the builder to build stuff in it
Like if we could have a multipurpose room module
what about the fact that u cant maneuver it around the tentacle biome
Just be careful?
For me, I find it much easier to maneuver than the cyclops
Plus the fact that you can take the modules off whenever you want
i was
detach modules when going into tight spaces
what if i want the modules to go with me
i dont wanna reattach each back to the long seamoth
that takes a decent amount of time
the modules stick together if you eject them all at once
there's a lever in the seatruck cabin to detach them all
ok
Smaller map + merging seamoth and cyclops
didnt they already make everything slower to account for the smaller map
That whole piece of long metal wouldn’t be easy to maneuver in a tight map like bz’s
which didnt even help and just made the game feel more sluggish
Wdym
The vehicles?
isnt the long seamoth a long piece of metal too
no,literally everything
It’s different
that didnt even make the map feel bigger
If it had the same speed as subnatica, the game would last 1 hour lol
It was initially a dlc, we should remember that
the difference is only 30% in terms of speed
Is Subnautica Below Zero really slow? Lets find out.
Which makes difference
The seatruck has flexible and easy to maneuver modules
Even tho it’s slow
the game still feels more sluggish compared to normal subnautica
This may surprise you, but BZ isn’t SN1
yea ik i played it
Hard to maneuver outside subnautica
With the seatruck it’s also much more maneuverable
Ikr
I had trouble maneuvering the cyclops even in the big map of SN1
Fr
just make the seatruck a long extendable piece of metal that you can build in
It’d be hard
and each module will be way longer
That’s literally the one downside I have with it, that you can’t build in it
Other than that, it’s fine
what about the fact that its slower than the cyclops
But a module with customizable interior would work maybe
It doesn’t matter to me at all. The map is small enough that you can get anywhere pretty fast anyway
Specific for that
Plus you can get speed and horsepower upgrades
Agreed
Nothing to complain about
Bz’s great
It’s different from SN1, but a great game anyway
I wouldn’t like it as much if it was just a copy of SN1
I’m gonna be honest dude, this is quite literally the most scammy thing you could say 😭
why?
Maybe someone might be willing to gift it to you or something, but I doubt anyone would be willing to give a complete stranger their account
It’s better than paying $30
Gang does anyone know how much smaller the bz map is compared to sub?
It's honestly pretty cheap on sale
13$ on instantgaming
no one is lending you their account...
Maybe someone, I’m confident.
ok lets see
Yeah you'd have a way better chance getting someone to gift it
yeah if you want bz you'd be more likely to get it just begging people to buy it for you
For me, it’s better to lend an account than to pay $30. But if someone gifts it to me, that’s great too. Paying someone isn’t really worth it
but that's not allowed here
ofc it's better for you, but not to the one who is lending the account
Idk it's prob better for u to just get it gifted tbh
So, who’s gonna gift me Subnautica: Below Zero then?
no one
just buy the game dawg
i think so
Just get gamepass and finish the game before it runs out
or just buy the game
Yeah or that
Maybe you can wait till sub2 and hope they do a mega bundle or sum with all 3 games
I found this comparison on Reddit
And in below zero, movement speed for player and vehicles is reduced by around 20%
i don't think ive ever seen a bz map
Ohh yeah that makes sense, I had a suspicion that the map is ALOT smaller
I hope they don't do what they did with bz on sub2
They’re not
Below zero was expanded off dlc, which is why it is smaller
bz was going to be a dlc
If it’s too weird, oh well.
I lowk would've preferred bz as a dlc
unless you buy the game you're not getting to play it
finally decided to buy below zero on steam (i had it on xbox before), i meant to while it was on sale but i forgot lol better late than never i suppose
ill enjoy replaying it again its been a bit since i did last
Id like to see more of robin
or see the aliens
yea
They left their ai's behind
alan was such a cool character
supposedly you are where they went at the end
lol typo detected
or actually no it isnt a typo
i had to read it like 4 times but i think it makes sense
just not how id say it
lol im nitpicking settings tooltips i am SUCH A LOSER 😭
whats the typo
what's the typo
hi friends
i wanna make my base in the arctic kelp forest but i want a large and beautiful area to make it in, do you guys have any coords?
or does such an area not exist
i initially thought "affect for how long" was weird but i think its right its just a little verbose
ah
search a map on google
find the largest area
go to it in game and see if it's good for what you want to do
idk :3
I like how the pda in bz is slightly sassier in some lines, its kinda funny, i hope the pda in subnautica 2 does that too
"the scanner room blah blah blah... or titanium, if you need help finding it. for whatever reason"
i'm the complete opposite
#givemyrobotspersonality
the pda is supposed to be serious, but user interpretation matters
from seth:
"One of TJ's rules for SN1 was "the PDA is funny, but never on purpose". The game takes itself seriously, humor comes from the player"
its not done often so when the pda DOES show personality its all the more funny
i like that a lot
its tasteful imo
and dont even get me started on the accent
it was so insanely difficult to understand
i struggle with auditory processing sometimes so it was really tricky to comprehend for me
i found myself looking at the recent voice logs pda tab sooo many times 😭
it might be cool if sn2 let you choose the pda voice (sn1, bz, and maybe 1 or 2 voices unique to sn2)
Similar to choosing the dude's voice in postal 4 if youve ever played that game
iirc they've said thats not gonna happen
bec they're using an actual VA this time around
doh
The filter worked well with the Indian accent, I thought it was fine
The jokes were cringe in the bad way, except for the structural integrity one
(What structural integrity joke?)
i dont wanna spoil myself by revealing other biomes
brooo
Yeah large base in arctitc Kelp is impossible
You Can make a base in twisty bridges by arctitc Kelp tho
ah i see
One time a snow stalker clipped me through the floor
I wonder if it wasn't voluntary to make these jokes cringe or bad. As a computer has its own sense of humour, which might differ from humans 🤔 to me it added personality to the pda and I liked it.
However I do like Subnautica's pda voice better :3
Just met my first two leviathans (chelichete and a shadow) and I dunno if they changed the sizing but they look much more massive than like reapers and stuff
Like, the chelicerate is 40 meters, and looks bigger than the reaper at 55, and the shadow looks even more massive at 60 meters
Like, if you actually look at the data, it makes sense, but they look way bigger
So I’m not the only one who felt that way
I was afraid the leviathans would be hard to tell from normal fish, but when I first saw a chelicerate I immediately thought “that’s way too big to be a shark”
“well the reaper is 55 meters and this is less so it shouldn’t be that WHAHTTTTTTTT”
Maybe they aren’t scaled down as much as they are in SN1
I think, especially for the shadow, it's in a cramped cave system so it looks bigger
That’s actually a good point
i finally got to try out bz! where do y'all recommend i build my first base? a large room is all i can afford right now
I’ve heard near delta island is good because it’s in the middle of the map
I personally build it near my drop pod because my bases are small and it’s closer to the main land section than delta island
i ended up building it on the edge of the deep twisty bridges, near the island. seems like a good spot
i have my base on delta island cuz it is good and has a cave system and near the other locations you can like make a sea section and land section if you like to build and gather i made my main research area and crafting on the land while the sea truck and the scanner room, the moonpool in the water.
this game is so beautiful wallahi 🥹
i didn't realize you can build on land lmao. i got a moonpool and a bioreactor now but it doesn't seem enough because im constantly charging batteries and powercells
ikr?
farm ribbon plant, they're good bioreactor fuel
and get a solar panel, they're really good too
i tried putting ribbon plants in an indoor growbed, didn't work, so i just filled it w lantern fruit
also i have 4 solar panels
oh you need the outdoor growbed for that
I think the pepper works for the bioreactor too, if you want an indoor plant
i'll have to get the alien containment then, never found it in the first game until i had the entire Neptune built lmao
the location for the alien containment in this game is cheeky
i missed it the first time
i'll try to find it, until then lantern fruit is decent
Same, I was just up here freezing
I usually just use penglings or my Preston fruits
I have too many Preston plants
(I did a little grinding to fill up 5 grow beds)
i think i might just get a nuclear reactor atp :p
never tried them in the first game
i dont like how little above ground plants there are ):
the ecosystem feels less ecosystem-ey, I wish we got more useless plants like the voxel shrub in below zero
Purple pinecone 💯
Pink pinecone
How many times have you guys completed bz?
Useless fact: I never played the first game (sn1) in survival mode because it's too scary
I mean, there are few, mostly incased in ice
There purple dumpling-looking plants, and broccoli shrub, and glowing cave ceiling roots
There is also pretty ice acacia or what-they-actually-called trees (I wish that patch wasn't on very edge of the map, such pretty base location!)
Otherwise, it is an arctic climat after all :V
like 30 or more
mostly around 30
i lost track after a while
I really like the area with the ice acacia, it's one of my favorite above sea level locations ... even the BGM there is relaxing
Why do people hate below zero?
idrk
i think it was just not as goo as the first game so people were disappointed or something
Honestly I do NOT get the hate
You don't have to, it isn't justified.
DM @scarlet oriole.
Bruh
I asked the report bug bot what is the dashboard to find the version of the game and he took that question as an answer
I agree, it’s a great game
Can i show the developers a video of the glitch happening to me?
You can share it directly with the bot when you make your reports.
They very likely won’t respond (I also wouldn’t recommend pinging or dming them)
Also it's a dumb bot, it won't answer questions.
I assume you used the unstuck button.
One time I was fighting a snow stalker and it started clipping into the floor, then grabbed me into the floor
But unstuck worked
When i used unstock i found myself in a weird place underwater
Well to be fair I hit unstuck before I hit the water
And it was a underwater corridor from a cave to a place closed with ice needed laser cutter
I was too confused i didn't though I'll even be alive
might be nostalgia blindness
or people expecting subnautica 2
and sn1 being insanely good, a decent game doesn't seem to measure up
its less good than the og subnautica
main complaints is the map being smaller with less niche un-needed area's to explore so you have less ways of doing the same thing
its also more hand-held with less of a focus on wreck exploration
you get instructions on how to do stuff and theres a map unlike the first game
so it doesnt capture the feel of the first game and mystery as much
its still good imo especially with area's like the ||small precursor base with the portal thingie|| in the arctic giving more world building
a lot of the world building in subnautica like the plant diversity feels like things that were made by accident or were a byproduct of the game being built from the top down
below zero wasnt thrown together in a cave with a pile of scraps so it captures less of the organic-y feeling ig
i really like this render of the qep as a poster
I like below zero a lot, i just think theres different appeals from the first game
Below zero is less isolated and a lot more in your face with the story which some people dont like in comparison to the first game
But me personally i really like listening to all the dialogue from the pdas and alan's dialogue and the such
lol
Uh oh
I found the two squid shark eggs
And put them in a massive container and left
I forgot they could lay eggs and I got jump scared
I wasn’t sure how big they would get, that’s why the container is so big btw
Bigger tanks just lets you have more though
You’re a squidshark granddad now
is below zero worth getting?

someone tried this before and I decided to copy them,
turns out the red spore things are great lights for your base
what red spore things?
I think the things in the deep Lilypad caves
From the big flower things
Iirc the name is flowering spore.
how does the bottom of the contaments have holes
They are stacked containments, one in the middle and other on the side of large room.
thank you!
Yoo I got the cave-kamikaze-bomber fish egg!
Dear developers, I understand this isn't relevant to SN2, I played BZ today and saw that there are custom world settings, and a small portion of the settings are designed to make the game easier. I understand you're busy with SN2 right now, but I'd like you to listen to me and add more settings to make the game more challenging.
And why can I craft tools from fish in Vegan mode???
Because the vegan mode only pertains to Edible items
YOOO
PEAK
there's mobile?

damn
Bz to iOS is crazy
oh hell naw we got that before the 2nd one
we're getting a mobile port!!!!
Aint no way we got it on phone before
this is so awesome
The 2nd subnautica
It’s coming out on march 10 too bro
I need subnautica 2 man
does this mean no sn2 before march 10th
Bz mobile is sweet
I might get it to play it on the go
MOBILEEEEE
I mean pacing wise it might not be the best idea
But it should be a separate thing, done by another studio
I just watched the trailer and it looks so good bro for being on mobile
Also btw I got a notification saying someone @ me in this chat so if that was you pls lmk
It could also very well be from a couple days ago
It's finally happening!!!
of course it's a separate thing with its separate studio. but yeah the pacing wouldn't make sense
So iOS got this, what about switch 2
im gonna play below zero st Antarctica for more realistic gameplay
Bro what 🤣😭
Is anyone even asking for this?
How is below zero compared to sn1? I alr played a good bit of sn1 but never touched or seem a vid of below zero
I don’t have to anymore
"below zero coming to mobile" Bro could they at least consider that it will freeze in your pocket if you open it?????
Not as good but still subnautica
Kinda like a massive dlc
Mobile is a pretty big market, i mean, the gta trilogy and rdr2 have ports for a reason
I see
BZ isn't even close to as good as SN1. It does open up a really nice poasibility at the end, though.
I see, what made me off a bit is the fact there arent any real leviathans though, atleast by the little ive seem
There's not as many as 1 but the designs are cool. I like the chelicerate and the shadow leviathans.
There are leviathans, just smaller than the first game
As someone who 100% the game, there is a few of them, not as huge but first time playing made me jump a bit still
I mean like in the sense that atleast by seeing on video, the chelicerate for example, doenst give the same feeling as an reaper would
Shadow does look pretty cool tho but thats only 1
Honestly yeah the shadow is the only one that feels kind of threatening
I blame it on the sounds, the chelicerate’s roars are underwhelming
No. Nothing instills the same level of fear as the reaper.
Like a chericerate seems to be the equivalent of a boneshark or that kinda of thing, but i guess ill only know when i actually play the game
Also when chelicerates aggro onto you, they just look goofy.
The reaper is the most terrifying yeah
Alex Ries’ designs are a lot more fish-like or animal-like
The reaper is designed like an alien monster
Is there an void in below zero? If so whats there?
There’s a void too
It’s guarded by a variant of the chelicerate
Yeah jyst plagued chels
The ice worm was a good idea but it's such a non-threat that it feels forced.
The snow cats were more threatening than the ice worm and I killed them with a knife.
You can run snow stalkers over with the snowfox too lol
Snow stalkers, that's the name.
i feel like below zero didn't have any "big" threats except the shadow leviathan, like sb1 had reapers and they were soooo much scarier then those we have now.
It also felt more...guided and linear imo
Anyone know why my controller won't work in this game? I downloaded both game from Microsoft Store and it works fine in Subnautica, even with steam running in the background. But for some reason, it just doesn't work in BZ even though the game recognises it, I can see the 'X' button in menu?
Someone replied to my Subnautica Android review last year that there was no plan to bring Below Zero to mobile 😭
I’m glad to see it changed though
woah thats a suprise
is BZ actually that bad?
it's more like a mini extra subnautica
doesn't measure up to the original, but still good
It’s not even close to as bad as people say
It’s not SN1, but it’s still a great game
There’s a few things I think are even better actually
The P.R.A.W.N. suit for example, the thrusters are much better
The only downside is the crush depth
Are creatures raised in containment the same as in the first game? As in, they’ll still attack vehicles?
yes
i'm guessing you want to release your army of squidsharks
I had the hugest jumpscare with the snow worm. Had to take a break hahaha
Well yeah but I don’t want them to eat my seatruck
Dam lmao I didn’t even know you could find squid shark eggs
There’s 2, so you can breed them
I’m crine why are the ice worms so pathetic
Do they not even register P.R.A.W.N. suits?
they should though
i once went with a prawn and saw lots of iceworms
I saw once and it was just eating a snow stalker
i know right? i thought i was gonna die because i got no snowfox but my prawn made me invincible
to be honest grappling arms seem more fun
Is it morally wrong to kill everything in sight once I get my prawn suit
Yes
help i've developed a vocal stim of Robin eating food rapidly 😭 every now and then i just break out the guh-guh-guh and i CAN'T STOP 
Below zero on PlayStation plus!
no
you sneaky ...
You either collect fur from the floor of their caves, or use spy pengling to collect it. Killing won't give you fur (although I haven't tested spy pengling on a dead one🤷♂️)
you can get fur from dead snow stalker with spy pengling too
Yeah I mean using a spy pengling on a dead one
Below zero is PEAK!
The new update made it a lot better
Oh shoot I have played almost 2 hours straight
I might need to take a break
those are rookie numbers
i got sucked in the first time and played for 6 hours straight 
This isn’t my first time playing it tho
ah, i see
what changes were made in the new update, just curious?
Graphic and performance improvements and some minor lag fixes
hmm, maybe that's why it performs better than the original game on my laptop
Where do i find Seatruck storage module fragments?
i think deep down the twisty bridges, there's a squidshark down there though
Oh ok thank you
I once tried to release the 16 fish in my aquarium module, but I pressed the wrong button and my friend watched me eat the 16 raw fish in one second
Why is there a dev menu?
you pressed the secret key combo
If you use the buttons in there, it disables trophies for this save
If you save after
Glad I didn’t
I want my precious trophies
Can someone tell what base layout is the best?
Whoever has the most windows wins
Wins what?
the base competition
Oh I thought you meant IRL
there's no 'best' layout
you choose between how efficient you want it to be
I meant a good
Cause uhh idk what to build
Im thinking of two large rooms on top of eachother with a moonpool and scanner room next to them
so as in best looking? I have no idea, I'm the guy who crammed 7 lockers in an x compartment
No like the mort effecient
keep things close then
My lockers and fabricator were all really close, if you want to be extra fast at crafting, build 2 fabricators beside each other
Bioreactor and solar panels are good for powering small bases
And build interior and exterior growbeds to farm fruit and crafting materials
Where do i find the rebreather and or rebreather fragments? (i noticed it wasnt in my databank)
Twisty bridges cache
Ok thank you have a great day
I don’t remember which one but you find it at a man-made structure definitely
Where do I see names for all rhe places?
If you on PC press F1 if you arnt on pc you cant see the b iomes and will ahve to look up an interactive map
there's no best layout
how do i get past these? is there a crawl button?
How do we tell him without any spoilers
No
well camera drone should also work its the correct size after all
what happens if you front part of the seatruck gets eaten by a leviathan?
just spoil it i can look it up from the internet but thatll take more time
Its a || Spy Penglin||
oh
you need a ||spy pengling, and its controller||
well idk where i can find it so ima just use a camera drone
you can find the fragment at ||phi robotics||
Won’t do anything, there’s stuff you can grab back there
Pls fix this
What even is that
I dont think they are going to change bz since its alreayd been completed besides minor bug fixes
This station was added after the game's release.
So they can fix it
Yeah sure but they have moved focus on Subnautica 2 so i dont think itl ever g et changed unfortunatly
dont qoute me on that tough
I'll hope any way
they most likely wont
unless they do a sn 3.0 and sbz 2.0 with 1-2 sn2 features
ok so || the snow fox is NOT worth it||
hell no? it is slower has a smaller storage and doesnt offer protection unlike the prawn
also prawn is siiiick
i explored most of the landarea anyways so i dont rly need it
The only downside of the P.R.A.W.N. is that it’s not really as mobile on land as it is in the water
But that’s fine anyway
it can jump surprasingly high on land and it moves really fast if you know how to operate it
hello
The BZ prawn is even better on land, when you’re falling, you have no speed limit
I can use the grapple and hop to travel massive distances
does anybody want to play
It’s good for speed, it just gets a bit annoying for jumping, I might just suck though
Yeah it is a bit of a hassle. It only works when you are in the “falling” state, so you have to do short hops or use the grapple
You're not going to like the cameras at the Frozen Leviathan's cave then lol.
Subnautica
below
Zero

if you grapple to the ground at max length it'll be insanely fast. also the grapple arm cooldown in BZ starts once you use it, unlike in sn1 where it starts when you you get it back, so it's even more powerful
Kill the fish
They are stopping you from ruling the ocean
In subnatica
Tear down there home and build a Walmart
Over it
The fish are stopping you from take over for MONEY
DO IT FOR THE IMC
Interstellar manufacturing Corporation
i'd say they're tied
ok
Hello
That’s fair, they’re both excellent games in different ways
are there any mods that add more vehicles? i already have the seamoth though
also, if anybody knows about a fix for this, that'd be great too
I think there's mods to restore the seamoth on nexusmods
Bz mobile before bz switch 2 upgrades
What are the chances the architects will be expanded upon in the new game I’m curious
Bz really blue balled us
The seamoth is unused in bz
All you can do is mod it
Interactive map? Wdym?
The file kinda just sits there
There is a snowfox without mods
Those exist in the internet just look up subnautica below zero map
map spoilers ||https://mapgenie.io/subnautica-below-zero/maps/world||
I feel like there should be an announcement that BZ is free on PS Plus this month
but not when sn goes on sale?
I mean yeah duh, but it's for free now and it's a 1-time only thing
Whereas sales usually happen more often
Please can anyone tell me where I can find spiral plant chippings
That's that big jellyfish right
Yeah
Go inside the bottom opening
Ok thanks ... I js died from those big fish rn
Go in the mouth
Of the ventgarden
Theres no way to say it without it sounding weird
Yeah ikr 💀
Will that ruin my gameplay fun? Or should I just play the game as it’s made,
i'd say play how it's made tbh
Is it smart to live close to the delta island?
yes. it's central
Should I build my base on the life pod side or the other side?
doesn't matter, small island
Does anyone know where I can find the ultra high capacity tank scraps
Map. Delta is center. Green biome is lilypads. All are in monkey nests
What app is this
this. Note it does not do https:
http://ignis.errorfm.com/subnautica_map/?game=bz
(well it does, but there's no cert)
Ok thnx
Where do i find Propulsion cannon?
map
these kelp root caves. Theres only 3, so i'd call this Hard
Oh so that’s why it was so hard to find
Guys help me
Im stuck on the delta island with these creatures hunting me and camping around the island whenever I step in the water trey scream and run towards me
pls respond asap
The cryptosuchus?
Hit em with a knife and they’ll show their true colors
Pengwings are friendly, unless you steal a baby. Give it back
i went exploring in the deep twisty bridges and i went out of my seatruck to get some gel sacks, i turn back and poof its gone, is it a bug?
Is it normal that I once had a snow stalker swim around underwater next to the island?
He wasn't too far away from my Twisty Bridges base either
Are you sure it wasn't destroyed?
no, i js got out of docking it, had 98 hp
And I assume it wasn't at any point below the Crush Depth?
nope
Yeah that sounds odd
should i reload back to my last save (which was an hour ago) or js craft a new seatruck
yea
Would you say reloading is more affordable than crafting everything again or are you fine with doing it again?
f it, im reloading, have to do everything again tho lol, did many things in that 1 hour span
So they dissapear permanently then?
Not the pengwings
The four legged things right?
They are small and weak
They run easily and die easily
Rip
If you spent some of that time trying to locate something at least that time you can make up for by already knowing where it is
But yeah I guess with Subnautica it's not bad to save more often
I stole one and gave it to my squidsharks
No they are blue and swim around
They have a big mouth and bites me
Send image
cryptosuchus?
ohh if its a squidshark, then all you can do is run
how did the squidshark end up at delta island anyways
Idk the name
?
oh yeah, they're annoying and insanely loud but they're not a huge threat
They don’t even really do a whole lot of damage either
Even without the reinforced dive suit
Yeah those
right
They are surrounding my base I built
Eh dw they honestly ain’t that much of a threat
Where’d you build at?
Idk the name but between the electrical cable in the water and delta station
No, not in the black area directly outside that
I made them extinct in my first playthrough
I built in the Lilypads so I deal with those, brute sharks, and squid sharks
Technically to do that you’d also have to go out of your way and dispose of all the eggs
I actually got a Cryptosuchus in my alien containment
how do you pick this up? It just goes straight into my inventory
Oh you can just put it in your hotbar
I like to try and collect all the different eggs
You can put em in an aquarium as well!
It is quite annoying to find squidshark eggs though 😭
Say hi to Jerry guys
Oh very I still need to go grab one
Hi Jerry
Why can't I recolor any of my vehicles? It appears to be completely glitched
platform?
it's a bug. save and exit, it should work when you load back in
Hi Jerry!
Is there a way i can delete a specific save file on console? Im stuck under the ground with no way out even after using unstuck player
repeat unstuck up to 10 times
Lifesaver
Doesn't work on vehicles
Also, save often, for if your vehicle gets stuck
