I'm doing the same thing rn haha. I had compelted the first game for the first time like a week ago and I'm working on beating bz now
yknow i dislike the end stage levels of this game a lot
||test||
||i hate the crystal caves. such a hassle to get any sort of materials from there with the shadow levs||
(BZ spoilers)
tho they are pretty easy to spot and get rid of (temporarily)
guys
i just finished below zero
only missing one badge
this is the ultimate flex lol
most of the spiral plants were cut out of the insides of a ventgarden
and btw i just completed it 100%
last shadow leviathan
Heroic
The poor baby...
Yes, poor baby
That thing killed 3 rock punchers, destroyed my 2 seatruck storage modules and got my prawn suit to 50
While I was collecting kyanite 😭
Its a good thing I killed all 4...
Over Kyanite? 😭 🙏
Do you not have the shock upgrade thing?
how does it destroy storage modules
Honestly I have no clue. When it attacks, you spin and get nomed on
It can target vacant modules
Yea I do, I just detached the storage modules and I left them in the crystal caves
Thought it was safe but that sneaky leviathan I missed got it
I thought there were 3 but I was wrong after all
Huh
I never knew because I wouldn’t leave my modules in dangerous areas
Dude, I thought it was safe considering I already killed 3 shadow leviathans
Uhhhhhh they should have been safe, that's so weird
It probably rammed into them or something
Idk, but I see that message that they can attack vacant modules and that is something I will note for my second playthough
I thought they left modules alone tbh
Since it leaves a truck with modules alone
🤷♀️
Subnautica below zero
Yall I genuinely can’t find any tutorials on YouTube but how do you get the || recyclotron ||
you get the blueprint from scanning enough alien artifacts
other architect-inspired blueprints work the same
I forgot that existed lol
||recyclotron|| and ||quantum locker|| are goated
no u
almost done with subnautica, and im actually really excited to play bz
allot of ppl rag on it idk why it's really fun hopefully you've remained spoiler free ^^
People tend to rag on things they want improved but yes. Actually i quite love the extra decor given to the players in BZ! ✨
I'm enjoying bz
people told me not to expect much but I've been pleasantly surprised
but now I don't know what to do lmao so
Do I need to scan certain ones ?
No, just a certain number of them
Ok i need help finding this greenhouse 😭 im wandering around like a lost pengwing
Guys i'm lost finished subn 1 and started below zero today i just build the seatruck and was heading to the last known location of the pilote and didnt find anything + my seatruck only can go as fat as 150m and the upgrade require diamond that can only be found at 350m how can i progress ?
You can get to the thing you are looking for if you part the seatruck at like 149m and have a high capacity o2 tank since you can use the oxygen plants as well
So you can progress, u just gotta be careful
U need to explore about the area tho, its not where the signal actually is
my base is at the twisted bridge can i find some diamond there
early game of below zero is kinda questionable
it doesnt have the habitat builder like the original game
💔
forcefully locking me with the floating chests
No, just ones you haven’t found before
Well it does have it u just need to find the scans on the delta island
how can i put spoiler thing on discord
put || at the beginning and end of the text
||thanks||
hek yee
oh well then, good luck to me
Deep twisty bridges has diamonds. Alternate place: koppa mining site, and yet one more option: sea monkeys...
How does sea monkeys by killing them ?
This is the 15th time I’ve accidentally gotten my self like 400metres into the void and my seaglide dies
At some point they start to give you stuff instead of stealing tools...
So i just scanned this and nothing at all happened, is this normal?
that's normal for artifacts
there's two scannable things
||body parts||, which are progression blueprints, and artifacts.
you need to scan a certain amount of artifacts to get something
Ive gotten an entry into my pda for every artefact ive scanned aside from this one tho
there are sometimes two of the same artifact
Ohhh ok, ty
is there literally ANYTHING i could do in this situation
hardcore save and i ended up not paying attention to my oxygen, i prob have less than a second left until i die, i have 2 air bladders in my inventory but not in my hotbar so id have to equip them to refill my oxygen and i think im too far from the surface to swim
there's a little bit of time before you actually die
idk if it'll save you though, do it at your own risk
😭 good luck
Ur only hope might be to go for the air bladder icl if you have PDA pause on
Oh right
So do this: enable pda pause, equip air bladders, use them for oxygen, swim up
JHRLP
URGENTM
MY CONTroller isnt eokring like the x and o buttns i have a udual sense 5 lthe like the ps5 controller not hthe ps4. what can i do please help me evertything elseworks but i cant rebind controls i ve kooked everything up so if i hear one more person say"look it uoppp" im going to lose my marbles
please and thank you
A sea monkey just handed me a peice of copper I love this game
Yes, no guarantee you live but thats ur best option imo
I’m going to play bz soon, and I’m wondering about a few things
-
Are there multiple endings?
-
Is it longer than Subnautica 1?
-
cuddlefish?
all no
It’s smaller than sn1
Only one ending
No cuddlefish but there is a new pet fish
well luckily the only things I have spoiled for me are that ||there is a human survivor, and that there are some mildly attractive aliens at some point||
XD
I honestly think ill find them hot, knowing how i find gabriel ultrakill attractive
Not sure if you already tried something, but there is also the 'cheat' option: force close the game and reload last save🤷♂️
this glacial biome is so stupid, i entered it once and now I can't go to where I came from
this biome is a maze
Keep us updated, i wanna know whether u lived or not 🙏
can somebody give me helpful advice
early game? Make the air bladder. Save often
how do i get past this without screaming and sweating (was automodded for my original message)
people here told me to make the air bladder and yeah, so glad i did
well, learn to time the peri defense shot. just when it starts its attack

OR, little bit of an exploit, leave the truck controls, and fishy will ignore you
bloody hell
S tier item
do you mean swimming? like with a seaglide?
It wasn’t me who had the problem
I would never drown
Oh lol, im stupid
Keep us updated, i wanna know whether u lived or not 🙏
i wondered this
so if i just stayed still even if i was so close to it it wouldn't care about me?
it's quite silly
wow
im intending to make a base in this biome somewhere
idk where but
this is so squeaky bum time
I wouldn't put a base here. This isn't Lost River
yes, once you have ||scanned 3 things||, hint hint
apart from that, all there is here is some prawn mineables
just one
do i need to get there
can i make a base there?
although i dont think my seatruck can go much deeper than i currently am
650m
required to go there to start endgame
Truck is not fully upgraded
guys what is wrong with me XD ||so many solar panles for my base and im making more||
look at the POWER thing
Will Below Zero support VR?
It seems unlikely.
why does the Below-zero-info still say this?
There's a mod, it works well. Called Submersed VR for Below Zero
nice i will try that some day
this is a day
can you send me the link if you have it?
I have small doubts now as the mod is older than BZ updates
plus it says to now have any other bz mods installed
and i do have some installed
That mod broke me, trying to use that mod is the same day I learnt about steam console and downloading older versions of the game so it works
So it does not work with current?
Didn't for me nor the first game, had to download depots or whatever and use custom binds made in steam vr
Worth the hassle tbf, I managed to use return of the ancients alongside it
Why might the lights in my base flicker? I have more than enough power so that can't be it? Does that just mean a storm is happening or something? My base is underwater btw
If input is less than output, running on batteries. Ignore
input/output of what?
power generation & power draw
Well that'd be output vs consumption. Even if we said input is my consumption and output is power output, that still doesn't make sense because you said "if input is less than output" so I would be fine? I still don't follow
And what are you talking about with batteries?
Every power source has a battery. A panel has 75
ah I was confused I thought u were talking about the item. Neat little detail. Does that happen in the first game as well?
also the Seatruck really ought to have an inclinometer, I have so much trouble telling if I'm level when in open water with no terrain haha
agree
A lot of terrain is also slanted in this game so sometimes the ground don't even help lol
guys how do i put stuff in my prawnsuit from inside the prawnsuit?
You can't, the only way for items to go directly inside is via the drill arm, or the default arm that can pick up items
and maybe the propulsion arm too since you can do that with the handheld one but idk 🤷♂️
Do sea monkeys grab nearby items from the environment or do they just pull that stuff out their booty? Like do they spawn the item out of nowhere or do they retrieve it from the ground, so finite vs infinite items. I know that Sea Monkeys will retrieve different items depending on the surrounding items but I can't tell if they actually pick them up or if they basically pull it out of a magician's hat
wiki doesn't seem to say
They spawn stuff from their booty
Diamond would hurt coming out 🫢
||well i explored the purple crystal biome and didn't find anything other than a polycage||
and some kyanite
Polycage my beloved!
I've seen these a few times now under the water, are they something that can be opened or interacted with?
Which thing are you talking about can you point it out
If you have a keen eye, you'll notice that I did circle it there
hmmm not seeing it more arrows and circles please
Wdym more? Im not seeing any at all
No quartz would hurt the most
I mean i gotta go with his vision he's saying there's some sort of circles there
They used to be supply crates but now they’re just decoration
ok what do I press to open them 🙂
u dont its just props
ok how do I open it to get the supplies inside
You don't it's a prop.
i know im just messing lol
though i actually didnt know what they were when I sent that photo
I do NOT like being messed with.
I'm sorry Matt 😥
You are severely on thin ice, bucko! ||/j||
damn the aura
Don't call me bucko, who do you think you are. some kinda wise guy huh?
Nothing
They dont act as crates anymore
Aww you think you're some sorta tough guy, ehh? We'll see about that! Rattle 'em, boys!
You need your little friends to scrap with me? You know I'd have you on the ground quicker than you can sneeze buster 👴
Why isn't it working I put the cube in the thing 😭 🙏
(Don't tell me how to actually do it if that's even possible)
This one does not require an ion cube.
Does the Prawn have the same issue like the first game where it can easily clip through the ground and you lose it forever?
Nearly happened to me a few times
Not sure how frequent though
yo can someone help me beat the game?
Could I get a hint for how to find the parallel processing unit or the blueprint?
||mercury II||
Are all 3 fragments there? I found 2 pretty quickly and I've been searching with no luck for a third
No, you have to search for another wreck
There are total 6 fragments scattered in 3 wrecks
Is the afterburner upgrade good or is it a huge waste of energy?
Ever since i got past 3 modules with the seatruck, it's felt slow as a mf
Even with horsepower upgrade
Here's some info on seatruck speed with different number of modules and upgrades (courtesy of meatie⭐swe)
#below-zero-chat message
Afterburner does use up some energy. And it does have a cooldown, so it’s more so an evasive upgrade
horsepower basically reduces your module load by 1
So if you have 3 modules with horsepower, the speed (97%) would be almost the same as vanilla with 2 modules (100%)
Yeah I saw the numbers for it on the wiki. I was kinda just asking if the afterburner's energy cost is fair enough for the speed boost. Like do people use it or no?
It’s good for quicker trips, yes
I’m really conservative when it comes to seatruck power so I do spam it when driving long distances
yo chat what’s your favorite song from the bz ost?
mine’s prolly either Cathedral or Crystal Caves
I just listened to deep blue and it might have been the best piece of music I've ever heard in my life so that/s my pick
that's the only song I've heard so far though haha
I wish you could have the jukebox in your seatruck without needing a sleeping module
i didnt wanna sacrifice the speed just for that lol. Using spotify instead
I'm curious was this screen supposed to have more on it, but the idea ended up getting scrapped or something? Seems odd to me that it would just be a blank white screen and its only purpose is to eject the prawn...
yeah, it would've been cool if we could access its upgrades and storage from it
Is it not possible to farm marble melon trees? I had gotten both a single slot and quadruple slot seed for marble melons from ||Marg's Greenhouse|| but upon planting the large seed. It grew the ankle height tree and when I knifed it, I received the small single slot seeds
you might've mistook it for the bulbo tree
marblemelon is that ankle-height melon. you cut it and get four seeds.
bulbo tree is that thick tree, you cut it with the knife to get edible samples. you plant those samples to grow bulbo trees
bulbo trees and marblemelon were my go-to fruits in sn1
in bz I just use the pepper and it covers everything
ive never played below zero im unsure if i should play the game :/ i would probably get it next time its on sale and do it on a live stream mahbe
played the first game like 3 times
does the game ever warn you about the chelicerate? ||alan|| warns you abt the ice worm, and the pda lady warns you about shadow, but i dont think anyone ever warned me about the chelicerate..
no cheli warning
Will it cause any issues if I jump over the ||bridge at Phi Robotics?|| It would avoid me having to go back to my base for to craft that recipe and I'm fairly confident I can make the jump
I just ask if like inserting that fluid maybe has some sort of trigger to it and I worry if I skip it, I may have issues
you can skip the hydraulic fluid if you want
And is the ||pengling robot|| just for gathering resources? I've spent a lot of time going back to those sites where you can use it but I always just find minerals that I don't need. I kept thinking that it was necessary for game progression
you will need the spy pengling for something important
it's not needed to beat the game per se, but it is relevant for some part of the story
Anyone else start tweaking out over this map?? Everytime I think I know where I am, I realize I'm an idiot and I never should have thought that for a second
I can't find a bearing to go off of so I'm just constantly lost here and I have nothing to go off of to make it to that circled thing. Is this the dock that's in that photo toward the bottom??
Yeah that’s the dock
I just found the f'ing cave. 5 headaches later
I love exploring without knowing where I'm going but this gotta be the most unintuitive map ever lmao. It's heavily simplified from the actual terrain you encounter
How am I supposed to reach M's base if there is a squidshark guarding the entrance, do I ram it?
i dont remember theres a squidshark guarding M's base
just go past it, youre fine as long as you dont get too close
Are 25 solar panels + 3 bioreactors enough to power 1 water filtration plant? 
what level of greed is this
You may need a couple nuclear reactors too
Energy consumption and production values: do the math...
Hey anyone here?
wish we had a ||perimiter defense module|| for the ||prawn suit||
go away
tbf i had an easier time in different places in the other game
maybe its because of the difference in what vessels we can utulize
HAHAHA
bro think he tuff
that thing scares
subnautica felt easier tbh
but the second is saying hi
need some lithium?
nice spawn
i dont know what to do
where are you atm?
wheres the win on the keyboard
usually bottom left, near CTRL and ALT
i dont see it
not doing a call
ok.... where am i
Marguerit's power plant. Caves lead to tree spires and lilypad caves (near Marguerit's base)
theres one thing i kinda dislike. how my ||nuclear reactor|| cant charge more then its number
tis so frustrating
Win is short for the windows key
But screenshot for me win + shift + S 🤷🏼♀️ everyone's must be different in different locations I guess
so im trying to build ||thermal reactors near lava sources but i just cant get one close enough aaaaaaaa||
||I used the purple vents, u can just put a platform thingy right above them and get atleast 50 on each thermal reactor||
||thats what i did too but im trying to increase my power gen. i got a spot where it reached 220c lmao||
Show me the spot 🙏
i think it was unity being a big buggy as usual
Idk what unity is icl
Ah ok
Idk if the reactors will stay intact, but I use the prawn suit propulsion cannon to pick thermal reactors up
You can then move it right inside the volcano and get stupid power generation
Just completed
wait whaaat
Put a spoiler over the image please
How do I do that?
Only the prawn propulsion arm is strong enough to pick up thermal reactors though
Click the eye icon on the photo when you edit the message
ive never used the propulsion cannon in the game 😅
It has little uses yeah but it’s good for collecting resources in ore veins, or moving an ice block out of the way
ohhh so thats how you do it XD
No its nothing
you should definitely ignore it if you are new
damn
yee i'm 13h in
that guy forgot to put spoilers on
Goos thing i unlxokes it
Unlocked
"The cyclops is designed to be operated by a 3 person crew. Only experienced helmsmen should try to operate it solo."
Is easily operated by one person
This game can be terrifying
I sucked with the cyclops icl, i hated it, seamoth is the goat
that's why it was called the cyclops. the fact that it cna be driven by one person
The council of bladderfish has spread
Ok PSA, DO NOT use the propulsion cannon to move thermal reactors
It despawns if you go too far for some reason
I thought it was cuz of the big glass eye at the front
That too
The base building is actually so fun in below zero, better than the first game icl
Hi so i just unlocked the recipie for architect skeleton and i dont know where i craft it tried everything is there a specific location to it or maybe late game ?

Still haven't gotten a laser cutter to explore the ship in the angry shrimp biome

Which one is the angry shrimp biome? 😭
Purple Vents
Ah
I got such a fright from those angry shrimps today
One was chasing me down so i was going down to escape it and then another one popped into view
Nah, they become sushi once you get the perimeter defense system or the prawn with a grapple and drill arm
Ive not found the grapple yet
Oh, I found it because while searching M's base I got so lost I ended up in the deep purple vents 
Lol
Hey!
I’m playing Subnautica: Below Zero multiplayer and I tried adding custom music to the jukebox.
I put the music files into the correct folder, and it works in singleplayer, but in multiplayer it’s like the music isn’t there at all.
Is this a known issue?
Does jukebox custom music not work in multiplayer, or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Also, which multiplayer mod are you using?
ask in the modding discord
the below zero multiplayer one probably
it seems they despawn?
for some reason let me build it in there
What on earth, I couldnt build anywhere near those things nevermind on top of them
If you built it there, it’ll stay
But if you move it with the propulsion cannon arm, it’s like ripping out a plant by the roots, and it’ll despawn
this is nuts
I’m gonna try this next time I play bz
where is it?
||found my new bioreactor fuel||
Which area exactly is that at?
Also I just realized i sent this in BZ chat even tho I clicked subnautica chat
So in both sn1 and bz, the first power plant built is the one first used right
Yes (until you reload a save: upon reload the power order is more or less randomized)
that explainst sn1, but it seems consistent for bz
Is it any good?
Guys I just started bz where should I build my base 😭
||does any one know how margriet survived the khrara||
i don't think it's ever explained ngl
she's just strong like that
||cuz the reapers absorbed so much of the enzymes, when she ate it she just ate enough to get the cure ig||
thats sad tbh
i guess thats the theory that makes the most sense
And also shes just built different as shrimp said
Ever wondered what happens if a Chelicerate eats a squidshark?
i set up the foundation for my base near the delta base, the place is full of god despise platypus
is it a good idea?
it lacks tons of resources
but its closer to the lily biome
🥺
bro what
why does that thing look more intimidating than the reaper
it only looks scary it pretty "slow" tho
or maybe i just wast scared anymore after reapers haunted my dreams for months
i only had 3 close up encounters with the reaper throughout my 2 subnautica slot
its not scary
i'll say, the reaper is a better monster
the chelicerate is a better animal
delta is a good spot because it's in the middle of the map
if it eats you out of nowhere at 4 am on your fist playtrough when your 13 years old its something diffrent
the water filterer uses up a insane amount of energy
its the only thing that forces me to upgrade into the ||nuclear reactor|| in both games
not really
i never had problems with it
i just used 2 ||bio reactors||
yeah it works, but i always keep my base really tightly packed
so i avoided it
A solar panel can cover it. but you need a bioreactor as a backup
I switched to eating fruits for water, so I never really use the machine
what do you do in your base that two ||bio reactors ||are not enaugh?mine bitcoins?
its just ironic to me how 2 bottles of water will cost you more than a fully uncharged vehicle
filtration is hard
yes
no i just like keeping it small
but its speacial water
in my opinian 2 normal rooms are small
but everybody has his onw opinion
cool cool
you must be one of these peaple who like capsule hotels
I wouldn't live in one, but in a game, it's convenient
i love how one single machine takes up more power than the rest of my base including fab
such a hog
these machines are not worth it anyways just make water out of salt and tube coral
there's no bleach in below zero
or eat fruit
What am I supposed to do after I deactivate the radio tower thingy?
find ||marguerit|| at ||her greenhouse||, around 1 km east of ||delta island||
Is that the one in the lily pad place? Or somewhere totally different
different base
it's ||on an iceberg||
it's in the east arctic biome
I wonder why it’s in a completely different place
if it was in the lily pads, players would find it way too early. you’re only supposed to go out and find her greenhouse after you sabotage the communications tower
Chat, will my baby penling eat other fish in a containment?
I don’t think so?
nah, they’re peaceful
i’m not 100% sure, but i don’t think any of the creatures in containment will do anything to each other
OK, thats atcually really good to know
chelicerate
looks more like greek dinner
I think rock punchers eat rock grubs in alien containment, otherwise everything can be mixed inside containment
it's usually to the east. And one or more south of delta
Lost all my hard earned quartz to chelicerate
Filled my whole inv up with it
just for it to be gone within seconds
how is the squidshark considered to be a leviathan if its size is roughly the same as the ugly platypus
i saw the platypus made the squidshark ran for its life
what is this classification
The squidshark is not supposed to be a leviathan
i mean it has got its own sneak attack animation
gave me a kiss
so it must be special
It originally was, and they made the databank entry when it was, but then they changed the size.
Changing just that part of the databank entry in every supported language would have been too expensive for such a small mistake, so they kept it.
woah
Also in the databank, 'honeycomb fungus' is listed in the 'exploitable' section, but is it really exploitable?
i found it in ||marguerit maida house||
cool
track one and go swim into it's mouth
not a chance im meeting that big fella
there is also an arcade gorge toy in her cabin
there are some plants that are listed exploitable, and yet i cant get their seeds
Yeap, I think we are seeing entries that had the actual thing changed at some point without updating
Swimming in the seatruck
Which biome can i find the sea truck docking module parts in?
the deep purple vents have a good amount of those fragments specifically, along with other seatruck modules
Ok ty 👍
I can fit the seatruck dock in the twisty bridges
But again, I can only do that because my base borders the kelp forest
I meant the module for the seatruck
Idk what biome to build my base in
what do you do when you are done finding out what happened to Sam
oh mb
yeah that's deep purple vents
koppa mine? no
Im in a tight spot in the crystal caves
I hope the leviathans dont phase though the walls ?
They’re not supposed to but I won’t guarantee
You gotta go into the fabricator caverns biome and find the architect facility there, just be careful of the shadow leviathans
What biome is that, im also clueless on what to do rn
This one
I have no clue where that is im not gonna lie to you
Just go to the Crystal caves (enter it through deep purple vents/Lilypad caves) and then progress until you start to see red crystals and spinefish then journey through the area for a bit until you find an architect base
Ok ty 👍
anytime dude 😄
You must have the seatruck with you and the shock upgrade, just shock the murder-puppy
i swear i went through that entire biome though and i couldn't find it 😭
by the way i only just went to outpost zero
fair enough lol
I made it to my seatruck and just exited the game 😭
Why'd you exit? I take it you were still in the ||Crystal Caves||?
Fear
But are you still in the ||Crystal Caves||?
Yeah
i just got below zero after finishing the main game, does anyone have tips?
Shadow leviathan vs squidshark
||i was looking for lead and all of a sudden i have an alien inside my head???||
Angry shrimp 
do i want to know what this means
hmm
bro is scared of squid shark XD
Wether you want it or not, you might end up knowing 
they really are vulnerable
all i did was ramming them with my seatruck and they be lying on the sea bed
seatruck is indeed better than seamoth
truthnuke
Yeah it’s a weapon of mass destruction
that's such a great tactic
but how come the game pauses when you open your PDA?
i never really figured out how to pronounce the name of these creatures so i just call them eucalyptus
Cryptosuchus
Crypto - hidden
Suchus - crocodile
(if i remember correctly)
I renamed my seatruck to 'the CRUSHER' for just this reason
i cleared their entire population near the delta base
their bite deals 4% of my seatruck but ramming it took 4%
so i took their lives first
Sounds like they were asking for it
wuts yall's vehicle names?
Is the seaglide considered a vehicle?
i think its a tool
probably
Probably can't rename it anyway, I reckon
I didn't rename my prawn, I only ever used it for mat gathering anyway
Nah its a tool not a vehicle imo
my seatruck is Worm and my prawn is Shrimple
Beryl (seatruck) and Morganite (prawn suit)
guess you guys didnt craft the snowfox cuz it sucks
exactly, prawn’s way better for land
all my vehicles starts with J
Seatruck: John
Prawn Suit: Jeremy
Snowfox: Junior
and i named my seabase Juniper
Gng I'm stuck at a part where i can't go explore any of the alien artifacts cos the openings of the caves are too small for my seatruck to enter
then enter without the seatruck
🦦
What about oxygen management
A lot of if not most caves have those oxygen thingymajig plants
plus you can just bring an extra oxygen tank
btw what cave are we talking about exactly?
after getting all upgrades for the prawn
I have to say.. it kinda sucks compared to SN1
The one under hydrothermal vents
I could only notice from a distance but it had some huge man made structures inside
im pretty sure a seatruck should fit inside
I was able to get into there for the prawn suit fragments
if we're talking bout the same cave
I've tried many times but it just doesn't go inside
Maybe there's a different entrance
Alright ty I'll check for another enterance
Are there? i think ive searched all around there but only found 1
Zeros Prawn was made to be used on land or something
yeah, but can be used in water
if you really want
just got zeros prawn yesterday
you'll be fine, remember to bring an air bladder for getting back out
Man it's like 300 meters deep. I don't the air bladder will be of any help
😭 alright lemme try
Well this map isn't as deep and as big so they had to make it balance somehow. But it is underwhelming most of the time
awwwww
im wondering if that pengling would distract the chelicerate when i drop them as a decoy
i should try
wow
actually evil
it is my first time playing does it, does it want a hug?
i wanna explore without being eaten 😞
Yes, hold one. Repair tool works too
i think i know what you mean now
I hope Maida ain't mad
What is that music gang
gang?
Bro whale
sooo i found the ||fabrication facility|| before i had all the components... oops
ngl the ||shadow leviathans|| aren't even that scary
does anyone know good spots to find ||seatruck fragments||?
no way
deep twisty bridges, lilypad area
okay thank you
See this:
#below-zero-chat message
I think that's just Ignis cheating again. /j
Hi kinda lost i already got the architect skeleton + tissues
dont know where the next clue is
Have you met the Prawn Pilot at her base?
at the greenhouse maggie ?
yee
and repaired the bridge ect but idk if that area is all explored kinda got scared of that worm
guys, what's that?
woah
Uhhh
That’s interesting
Does it have a name attached
Hey guys so my sea truck is stuck in the mining site door
Is there anything I can do to? Because I don’t wanna have to drag my prawn suit all the way there and ram into
Load your recent save. Save often!
It’s been stuck there for god knows how long
Been a long time since I tried to get it unstuck
these things are what your save is for. For next time
if you are on PC, playtester ignis can edit a save file you send over
||Before i hatch this guy, it is a chelicerate right? I dont wanna wait for it to turn out to be a rock puncher or smth||
Well if it isn’t, just put it in bioreactor or smth
Or keep it in a locker forever
The thing is i need to go scavenge for more titanium and quartz to make multi purpose rooms and alien containment tanks
Id rather not do allat for it be smth i dont care about yk
Leviathan eggs don’t exist
And i dont use bio reactor, thermal plants forever 🔥
Really?
Why does the egg look so much like it then 😭
Idk, but it’s a rock puncher egg
Thats depressing
If it cheers you up, there are ||squidshark|| eggs somewhere in the game
Yeah Ive found and hatched them
As well as ||glow whales||
they are sick
Well im glad i didnt hatch this egg then, ty
HEAVY SPOLIERS: what am I suppose to do here? Im kinda stuck, nothing is happening
Just finished the game
really cool ending.
not as scary as SN1 though
but very cool story and flora fauna
beautiful
to be fair though snbz is a lot less vertically deep
the whole map is smaller in general
yeah
but from a logistical standpoint, why is is worse XD
how did whoever designed the seatruck in lore made it so bad it has half the max depth of the seamoth and why did altera completely remove the seamoth for this thing XD
not even space capable, smh
the operation on this area of 4546B was less about exploration like the seamoth is made for. the seatruck is designed for cargo transport, and mostly just used to move stuff from altera base to altera base
mhm fair
also believe that's the reason the seatruck has no sonar for exploring big areas, or any offensive capabilities, instead focusing on defense
bruuuhhh the arrow ray has no animation in aquariums XD
it's because of game balancing. if you had the truck in subnautica, it'd be as fast as the seamoth and go as deep as the cyclops
i know that XD its just funny to me
well it isn't supposed to be offensive anyways
i would want a sonar if the map was bigger
also also its more expensive than the seamoth
(within lore ofc) why would anyone ever use this
cargo transport, that's it basically
like... it can haul... but you could totaly just put some tow cables on the seamoth XD
i hope the small sub in sn2 can do that
why i cant scanning this
I think this laser cutter is infamous for not being scannable
fr? i never found it
i scanned only one piece
i mean i never foudn that one unscannable fragment
Idk I might be wrong, it may just be laser cutters in general that are most likely to not want to be scanned
the scannable area is wacky because it's a thin L
having a glass of milk then dive down into the seamonkey cave with the seatruck is the ingredient for a stroke
am i supposed to use my laser cutter to open this? i cant seem to be able too
you can only cut it from the other side i believe
ah, dont spoil it then
I don't remember, is it plot spot ir smth?
I don't get how to move there
is it in the void?
ah great now hes asking so many questions
its not a plot spot. i never used it but someone told me its a shortcut
Gotta say, even Maggie's sour face is a good sight when 4546B is so lonely and has no other people present.
😂 I can agree with you there. But why you nicknaming her?
Why not? Old sour Maggie, more prickly than a cactus in a desert, but I know she's a dear deep inside. Gotta be like that to singlehandedly kill a reaper.
And the thing that makes up her blade on her prawn
Just one note, I thought that the skull of the reaper would be way bigger, from memory that thing could swallow Riley easily while the skull in her base looks small,
hell it could grip the seamoth
Yeah I know... everything in this game is downsized in perspective or in general...
Easily could have put it outside her base, it would be one hell of a decoration
oh my god
the cave diving experience is tortuous
every second of navigating through the tight space with the seatruck is a hammer swung into my head
i sweat like hell trying to figure out where the hell im at and the 360 tilt is killing sense of balance
i miss subnautica
i hate getting my seatruck stuck in tight entrances
seamonkey hide is my biggest enemy
yes and when the seatruck hit something it just spun 🙃
true
especially when you keep going forward so it continues dragging the seatruck
I agree
shortcut?
where?
More like from where...(since it opens from inside)
That feeling when you completely miss the antidote in the greenhouse and realize after 2.5 hours and a google search you missed it
tell me how to get there?
The underwater cave starts from an architect site in arctic spires (there's also portal to Phi robotics, so multiple shortcuts away from there)
Where is that?
looks like the world edge
so saturated
that's in the void, and poster is being silly
What is that claw looking thing?
a void dweller
A mouth
Wait, you mean ||Void Chelicerates||? The mouth looks so closed and unbothered, Creative mode?
looks creative, yes. No life meters
That explains it because I know how them blaster B's move
i got a new dog
Lemme see the puppy
his name is daisy
Hi Daisy!!. Awwweee look, she giving hugs and kisses
he doesnt bite
Oh a he named Daisy, oops I wrote she
why is it 12000m ? map is smaller
does it bite?
he, she and it. Poor Daisy
no, he's just a little hungry
After I finish my current hybrid, I am so making a hybrid using that mouth! Look how cool it look
Don’t think u gotta worry abt it if its down there
tell me how to get there?
but why is it marked as void facility?
how do I get there?
If it’s 12,000 meters deep it’s out of the map
Deepest biome is like 2000
it's marked as point of interest
is it cave or smth?
Is it going down or is it across the map
12000m away
not moving
below the map
Try going there then ig
@wide folio tell me where is entrance?
Entrance to what
except void?
to that void facility
oh it's glitch
I wish I could help
when did the marker show up?
Mb i left a beacon out there
hummus
||i built alan!! what more do i have to do? I feel like i have to neutralise the bacteria or something?||
you can, but it's optional. Sadly
The things you have to do is just endgame.
Maybe find a pet first. Or hey, you can do it after the end
oh interesting
||so is the alan storyline the one mandatory for finishing the game, and Sam's story is optional?||
I did a fast run through the game and was surprised by how much you could skip
i bet you didn't have to go to any of the stations
oh except for base parts
Yeah, I did need some base parts
But anything related with ||sam, marguerit, and the mercury II|| were all avoidable
Felt weird skipping so much
I bet
no matter what i try i cannot pick up this framed art to reposition it
Should I start a below zero run (never played below zero btw)
yes
do it
Ask Ignis
@bold monolith someone has the poster issue
yesss
Alr bet
Hiii.
anyone down to play subnautica
Wait how does that work?
hiya bubbas
ad the seatruck X12 to below zero
How old is Alan? Apparently he’s over 1,000 years old?
help me where do i go in below zero. i am extremely bored i havent explored much i own a prawn and im like mid game but idk where to go and i cant find any new places by myself
how much of the story have you done
uh rn im finding alien artifacts type of but i havent discovered them all yet
and they seem to be in a place out of reach like idk how to get to em
artifacts will give you hints for the ||architect body blueprints||
i kinda understand the problem is they are like underground
two of them are. the first one is in a ||red cave system located underneath the lilypads alterra facility||
guys how come ||robin never gets infected with the kharaa?||
the planet is clean now. Except in one small spot
You can fix that one spot
Yeah below zero happened a couple years after the original (im pretty sure) and by that time the enzyme from the sea emporors has cured the planet
It's time to leave 4546B
the music makes it sound sad
Judging by the fact that in sub 2 the Karah still exists, robin probbly dosnt cure it in the actual cannon timeline
If I had to guess
no it most likely got back to earth by the researchers before robin came
Ahh yeah
and she just cured the frozen leviation
I personally thought the researchers died but that’s wrong ig XD
My theory was they got a sample of it
Altera is like “oh we can use it for medicin!” They’re gonna use it for biological weapons 100%
my best guess is that there were researchers before same came they got a sample of it brought it back and another team went back to 4546b and they died with sam
and then it back fired
Maybe they sent a sample off-world sometime before they died
possible
Or they use it Then it spread across planets way way faster than they anticipated XD
luckly the kharaa does not exist for real life (as far as we know at least) XD
I thought it was gonna be in/in the lore of sub 2?
we don't know
Oh
it's hinted at in voices from beyond but that's getting a little off-topic
I accidentally hatched a squid shark.
Didn’t know what it was.
But it’s cute I guess not that scary compared to the adults I can even swim with him.
Just keep it in the alien containment XD
Imagine in sub 2 your alien containment could rupture and spill the leviathans around your base
there's an actual pet creature
rock punchers are kinda cute to have crawling around there
Pet creature? 😮
I need to get the large room blueprints next.
But my current quest is disabling the control center.
That is a great idea! How are you going to do that though? 🤔
I used a module.
Then I went to Marguriet to see her greenhouse.
So now I’m done with that story line.
Now I have to finish with Al-an.
Then I’ll be done.
Don't forget that you can get the secret ending if you have mined every limestone outcrop in the entire map
anyone down to play (pc)
i thought it was single player
it is but you can mod it so you can play multi
i sent the links to your dm if you want to play multiplayer subnautica
all this fancy snow suits and hover bikes, how about i just use my prawn suit XD
thesandwormseesmethesandwormseesmethesandwormseesmethesandwormseesme runrunrun
Imagine if this was your vehicle in the game. I just finished making this in chat gpt. This is something I want a reality or something very close to it. Do I have a good idea? And does anyone else who has played this game and understand why I made this, agree with me?
I thought AI wasn’t allowed in the server
The idea is neat though
🤷♀️ Idk, but it's not being taken down. But glad you agree. Would you prefer I take it down and draw it out instead??
It's having a breakdown
should that be marked as spoilers?
||man there is 1 to many items for the precursor body for it to all fit in this one seatruck locker||
put it as spoilers anyway
Do I hold the record for fastest panic pause ever
I think this could be good for coplay.
super important question: who would win in a 1v1 to the death, a shadow leviathan or a sea emporor leviathan
sure
that acually scared me XD
Ooooooo now there's an idea. But it's also specifically made so the drag is none existent. Making going through small tight areas not ruin the fun of going through the game. Just wish it was real to use or someone can make it a mod for the game...
Shadow, Emperor is too passive and not an aggressive carnivore
shadow it has a big mouth
if a shadow tried to attack an emperor, it'd get mauled like a little worm
Do explain
i think the emporor would get mauled in that situation
the shadow is nearly perfectly built for killing other leviathans
even one of that size?
Yup, and definitely stronger and more nimble
You have a point but still, she too passive, weak, and slow
shadow leviathan could get around, and once it latches on it would basicaly already be over
besides, if the emperor can 'speak' to peepers and humans, all she'd need to do is force the shadow to hallucinate and hear voices in its head
Well it don't work like that because her intelligence is too high, the other animals aren't capable of such high intelligence demand. Shadow though can easily bring her down, especially if all 3 shadows are on her then it's game over
actually theres 4 in below zero*
Oh my bad. Only played BZ once so far
I like it as a train concept.
So essentially each box is a car.
Then each player has a room.
With a hatch connected to each room.
Devs take notes wink wink.
😮 Devs hire me 😂 jk
Wait the void chelicerate is that big!?
yep, they're giant
Geez!
i wondered of there was a void leviathan in BZ
I'd never cared to find out
now im kinda curious to see for myself
there is, it's just not a ghost leviathan
i would've guessed that
||do you guys think Margurit encountered ghost leviathans on her way to sector zero?||
guys currently i have this signal (ive alr been to ||delta station dock|| but ive went multiple times and found nothing but ||that architecct wiring that leads to basically nothing and in an area way too deep for my sea truck|| so can anyone help me out pls?
is it possible to play multiplayer on subnautica BZ ?
no
base game has a mod for it though
yeah i know but not on below zero ?
correct
cuz i saw a video on youtube, someone was playing with his friends
can i put link there ?
There is a different mod for BZ multiplayer
it's a good one ?
pretty good I hear, better than Nitrox
I like the sound of that, able to say what it is?
subnauticamultiplayer dot com
I don't know if they updated for the BZ update, but probably
I'll look into it. Hope it's safe
updated 15 oct 2025
Wow, not very recent but still pretty good
newer than BZ, so a good sign
Yes that's true. Is it only for BZ?
yes
Dang... ok thank you
SN1 has nitrox mod for it. Someone said BZ mod is better though
I'm fully aware of pain in the butt Nitrox mod...
why am i getting 1 frame per sometimes when loading up the game?
Bro opened the game as a .pptx file 
That's normal in many games. Making loading fluent is not a priority when it's short enough so player doesn't think it froze.
the problem is that it doesnt stop at all
how long are you loading
5 mins
after i close it the freezing continues to the point where i have to restart my pc
sdd
that's a symptom of low RAM
16gb ram
or, disk errors
is it fully closed? is it gone from the task bar?
maybe it's not game's fault at all
I don't think it's the game. Mine doesn't do anything close to this. Let me check load time, into a save
its all good now, randomly started working after like 4 tries
oh. Red plague mod is loaded. This adds to load time
24s to main menu, 70s to loaded save
guys is subnautica below zero on discount for you guys?

Subpoggers
subpogica
Hiii.
Hii
Spoilers: ||THERES A CASTLE!? ||
er, no? Maybe in the other game
Yeah I'm confused too
That looks like a deleted area of the old story map
want to explore, just do ghost and fly around. Ideally in creative
keys 1-5 for speed
What???
ghost is a command
I never knew that, interesting
lots of interesting commands, like spawn crash 90
Don't do that, you die
What's the ghost command? I can do that in a creative world right?
fly mode + noclip
do not attempt in a vehicle
it's a toggle so type again to swim
Not one for commands so I'll need to watch a video then
shift+enter for command input, on PC
Any command will disable achievement getting for this save. If you save.
I've already 100% Subnautica BZ long ago so achievements aren't a problem. And I'll do this stuff in a creative world
Oh my gosh I finally found the fabricator caverns.
You able to build him now if you got everything
related useful command: fog
To turn off distance fog
I’m basically just ragebaiting it I can send a video.
😮 interesting
OMG PLEASE DO! I'd love to see it
I really hope this leviathan knows that it’s really annoying and nobody likes him.
Shadow right? It's my pretty puppy but it is annoying during gameplay
Yeah I do like it outside of this.
Ok well now I’m lost.
This area is disorienting.
You in the red area right?
Yeah the red crystals.
Ok I’m at where I need to be just need to evade the beasts gnashing maw.
wrong chat, it uses a lot of power, and decreases creature attacks
What's funny is that I finished my first playthrough using the prawn because I refused to bring that horrible sea truck down below
It’s so mad 😭.
Please tell me I wasn’t supposed to bring something with me.
I can’t scan the important thing.
Fortnite default dance on that hater.
You just casually repairing and it's just like, "come here!"
I hate him lol.
Did you bring the materials that make ||his body||?
Why? That's the point of the fabrication facility and why he had you get everything....
