#below-zero-chat
1 messages · Page 367 of 1
ain't that fella familiar to you guys?
One of the first creatures were probably trilobites
i was talking abt one of creatures from below zero
that's what i meant
Omg anomalocaris…,,,the creatur
Kinda cute, I think
i never noticed how dumb they look lol
vacant stare
I find them a little cute, their face could have been made a little bit different like the eyes
What
It doesn't spawn anymore
The same thing happened in Subnautica, I built a huge base in the Dunes, and Reapers stopped spawning
How does that work?
I think (I'm not a dev) that my base just happens to be in their spawn spot, so they cannot spawn
You have me curious now
And as I said, I did the same in BZ, there used to be a Chelicerate right where I built my base (and it killed me dozens of times while building, to the point I stopped eating/drinking and just treated death as a mechanism), but now it's gone
Were you killing the leviathans?
Nope, I feel like killing what you cannot eat goes against the spirit of the game
Interesting. Now I want to see it for myself and test it as well
Really? The reaper near my base is still there
where is diamonds
Deep location in Twisty Bridges
hero
Happy to help
Maybe I'm just unlucky, then
Smiler to how you can save the Sunbeam in SN by decavting the lazer before using the radio distress signal.
If I go to the big cube where ALAN is carrying the spy pegileng, will ALAN be downloaded into that?
So then you don’t get the annoying voices
You can try...or carry a normal pengling...or use propulsion cannon to drag some creature in there😅 But do you really think it would make a difference?
No… I guess not
Mr. Hu-tao-qiang-zi when he was still teaching me the Almighty, only kids from 1700 will understand
Where are you
i going on the map on the crab
i was on higher map place
big mountain
I explored every inch of the surface all over the iceberg (I was right on top where you can't get without a crab). I even found a crevice that I jumped into, ran for a couple of minutes, and fell into the abyss, later swam through it. ...
do not ban pls, im an honest player
i was on this mountain
oh no
im sorry
i checked my screens now, i was in similar place
How long do eggs take to hatch?
it varies by egg. 10-20 min I think
Just noticed something interesting: all eggs fall through water, but eye jelly eggs don't, they stay where they are, and titan holefish eggs go straight up
Oh
What to do after visiting the green house?
||that's the end of marguerit's storyline, now you either go to sam or alan's story||
Should I tap the message or will it ruin my experience?
It’s important
Will it ruin my experience?
I didn’t put much spoilers, just told you your progress in the marguerit quest line
Possible spoilers if you didnt find ||alan||
Where should i put an outpost to easily access the ||crystal area||
||east of delta island||
where do i find diamonds
Deep twisty bridges, mining site Koppa, or if you have progressed story a bit, sea monkeys...
oh right now i remember
im at the start of the game im just tryna get the depth mk1 for the seatruck
i have played the game before its just been a bit
Opposite from ||the greenhouse|| right?
Also is there anything i should consider exploring before going down
East is to the right when you read a map
I recommend doing the land sections before going down the cave
Okay
Also for my ||seatruck|| i have the ||docking and fabricator module|| should i get the ||storage module at the cost of the sea trucks speed?||
Yes, get the storage module
And use the horsepower upgrade, it lets you carry three modules with little slowdown
Okay
Also uh what can i do with 3 storage units entirely filled to the brim with salt
Throw em out
If you have a water filter machine, you basically have unlimited salt
where do i get spiral plant clippings
Inside ||vent gardens||, or you find them at the entrance to ||deep purple vents||
||the big jellyfish things you go up the butt to get into?||
just need to renember where they are
exactly south from delta
Note, not the orange marks
I haven't seen 'hover zone' in quite a while
How do I mine this
try propulsion cannon or grav trap
It's a deposit, I don't think it can be moved (tried the grav trap already)
yeah if propulsion doesn't work then just leave it
But then my scanner will always show some quartz I cannot get to T_T
same thing happened for me with a galena outcrop under the map
i just live with it
now i have no clue what to do
I'm loading up below zero to check something
Wheres the entrance to the ||crystal area|| in the east?
why cant we pet sa monkeys
Let's see if my keyboard works for below zero
in the ||purple vents.|| go to the ||mercury wreck|| on top of a ravine, the ||crystal caves|| is down that ravine
other entrance is around ||marguerit's base||
It's taking forever to load for me
can someone give me a hint on what to do next. ive: ||gotten the hydraulic oil, been to whats her faces greenhouse, found these alien things, built a prawn suit with mk1 depth, sea truck with mk2 depth||
Should i put my outpost around the entrance
find out what happened to Sam in ||phi robotics||, and go past the bridge ||you used the hydraulic fluid for|| to find ||the second architect body component||
there's danger there so maybe a little further away
ive been all over the second part of the island and i havent found a thing
you found the ||architect base that was mining green crystals|| right
there's a ||hand buried under the rubble|| at the end, you gotta scan that to get the ||architect tissues||
cant even scan the worm thing despite my best efforts
there is a dead worm somewhere you can scan
uh i dont think so. ive onlky found the generator.
follow the pipes ||when you're in the arctic spires||, they'll lead you to the objective
How do I connect stuff to the sea truck
We're still loading slowly but getting a bit faster I think
i havent seen any pipes
well i found a broken one
You should've? They lead from the uh where you get the ||architect||
yeah those broken pipes/cables, follow them
you can grab the handle on top of the modules to move them yourself
it dosent go anywhere
I accidentally gave my sea truck fabricator a nudge and it imploded
It's going to be funny if my keyboard issue is only in subnautica and not below zero
also i found out you can sorta bhop with the prawn suit
yeah, prawn moves fast when falling, especially on land
grapple makes it go stupid fast
Still loading but we're getting faster with the loading
Why is it going so slow, I've been waiting for like 10 or so minutes
am i stupid? wasnt there a ||mecha pengu hole near the big frozen creature||
We're almost half way loaded
39ish minutes I waited, is the legacy version still available?
Waiting that long is ridiculous honestly
nvm i found the hole i was thinking of
I’ve found |alan| but I haven’t built him
How to fix?
I wanted to check if below zero had the same keyboard problem but I had it open for 40 minutes and most of that was on a loading screen
i cant find a thing
i mean i did find this and mined all the ion here but nothing to scan
This is a pain, I just want to see if my keyboard works for below zero tho I didn't even get into a save to see if it worked since the loading was so slow
wow just found a portal and a way deeper
oh not that one
it looks like this, underground
i have not seen that]
there's multiple areas of the arctic spires
i found an ice wall you can laser torch
Cool, I'm still trying to figure out what's causing my keyboard problem in subnautica but not in below zero
I found an ||alien structure|| close by, place my base there?
am i on the right track
I'm going into my creative game of below zero just to mess around for now
Below zero just crashed
Yes-ish, it’s not the right facility tho
i have no clue where im going
Oh boys...
Lookie what I just killed
Y'all how do u ki a shadow I ran it over with the seatruck alot
hit it with the seatruck
if it grabs you, use the defense system
How many hits till it's dead
I ain't looking for nickel till he drops dead
idk, just keep going
I don't wanna pull the prawn out
He's dead
Sahdow levi down
4 more to go
Y'all just put them in a corner and start throwing them into the wall
Prawn suit drill arm and a grappling arm
He's dead
Ran him over
Lwk gonna find a way to cook him
grapple is terrible for killing
normal prawn punch is better
but the most efficient way to kill things in bz is running them over with the truck. it deals the most damage and has self-defense
can i receive help abt what to do next on my save for bz
13hrs in, and recently started playing again after a break but im ultra confused on what i should be doing
i just want to beat bz
ping me when u respond
to beat the game, you just get ||alan's body parts|| and build it
how far are you for that
thats what im stuck on, i have so many pings i only have 1 body part and a bunch of artifacts. ik i got the body part but i forgot which artifacts i have collected and which i havent
im already good on vehicles and resources and i have my own base and farm
im just confused on story progression
ill check rn
alan gives you two in-dialogue hints for the remaining two parts, no other directions. if you have lots of artifacts scanned, check your logs.
to give you a hint for one of them, remember that there is a ||sizeable land section in the northwest||
all i have is Q59, PK8, Z13, N6M, LF0, and an "architech body cache"
i look in alien data on the pda and it says i have "architech skeletal structure"
Yeah so you already went to the “body cache” beacon and got the blueprint there
You’ll have to find the rest on your own
is this the bridge?
Yes
i bypassed the brudge with a high an elevated I compartment with hatches on the top and bottom, then parkoured to the other side
i fiund the bridge part too confusing
Scan the broken orange can lying on the floor of the bridge
Does she know? 😭
finally found it
idk how to get there
Go down, should be around 100m down in that biome
Ok
The ||shadow leviathan|| zipped past me and into the wall, t second later he jumps me in my ||prawn suit||
i wanna see that
It was terrifying
use seaglide map, it comes in handy in the kelp caves
he was weak.
awe hes just a lil fren
ok i legit thought the life pod symbol was an eye
Pinnacarid, crash fish, sea monkey, and brinewing in my containment

noooooo, my favorite place mountain wasnt real😭😭
hi! i wanted to craft the object for the tower on the station delta but i don't have the craft, anyone know how to get it pls ?
The blueprint is in ||marguerit’s base||
i was there and i got the cinematic but no one bp
A key component of the blueprint is in the || Mercury 2 ||
a fragment ?
or a resource for the craft
You need to scan stuff on her table
Resource
on the table its a snowfox no ?
There’s a box like fragment you need to scan on there
It's sad that the Prawn suit makes the Snowfox useless
i can't deny it
the prawn is better for the land
but i tried the snowfox as well too
I beat this game on steam today
How'd you like it? I loved the ending
I beat this game a couple of times, 2 times on ps4 and 3 times on epic games. I don’t like to use epic games launcher so I bought it on steam and beat it again 😂. I like how much more saturated this game is if that makes sense and the ending was also great
Oh that makes sense. But yeah the look of the game is amazing 🥰, like true pure ice water
One thing I wish the game added was being able to go past 1000 or so meters
That would be cool, what I mostly wish was the seatruck was a seatrain instead so that there's no drag. I actually made my idea in chat gpt to be of similar look to what I really want. This map is too narrow for the design of the truck
You get the blueprint by scanning the test override module in ||margurites base|| but to craft it you need the parallel processing unit. Which is found in ||mercury 2|| wrecks. Although each wreck only has 2/3 fragments
Actually one wreck has 1, one has 2 and one has 3 ppu fragments. Total 3 of those 6 need laser cutter.
How common is ||nickel|| in the ||crystal caves||
They do appear there but idk how frequent
I get my ||nickel|| from ||lilypad caves||
WHAT IS THAT
does anyone know why I can’t plant my gel sacks? I’m trying to put them in an indoor growbed but it’s not working
Did you find them in dry area or underwater? Try planting in same conditions
in the marguerite base zone
My favorite answer to "What's this?" questions: Scanner can tell you.
Hint: purple background in inventory - plant underwater. Green background in inventory - plant on dry place. Blue background in inventory - cannot plant
its blue..
An annoying puppy
My Seatruck's favorite ramming target
i killed a few squid sharks like that💀
i put the penglings in the storage so i can keep them forever :D
Oh they’ll be there forever alright
🥰
Also why does my deep purple vents outpost keep flooding when its hull integrity is great
Ill check that out then, how deep?
Like 300-400 meters
The cave at the ||pilot last known position beacon||
Okay
Probably should take my ||prawn suit|| cause of how chunky my ||sea truck|| is
Some of the purple vents sort of burst periodically
That might be why
Ill relocate it to the ||crystal caves|| since i slimed that ||shadow leviathan|| out
Should also probably get a ||filter machine|| there
Yeah I feel that, especially when traversing area near Marguerit’s underwater base with many modules
i detach all my modules when i need to go in tighter spaces
almost makes me feel like i'm deploying my seamoth from my cyclops again
freinds
Basically every location having to do with progression...
I refuse when it comes to needing them
Funny enough they are found in the Lilypad biome cave hole things
ok ty!
this is not so scare future, u can dodge him in every transport and without it
peeper is most scare leviathan so.......
freind. go give him a hug.
don't worry
its the biome there is the marguerite base ?
Right
Yeah. I only played once so I'm going off memory. I hope I'm correct, let me know if my memory hasn't failed me
btw today i walked with my "bro" with crab and with Propulsion Cannon hand drop him in the void🥀 bc he killed me when i have full inventory of water
real
but also, it's kinda hard to get hit by them if you're always moving
At some point I will draw out what I made in chat gpt so it counts
you personally didnt make anything in chatgpt
Alright ping me if you ever do it
What you mean?
I'll write this down so I remember your name then
"i made in chatgpt" you cant make things with chatgpt, you can only steal already made things that get melted into something else
I used the seatruck design from BZ and made it better look like a train instead of a drag seatruck. I named it, Seatrain
you used ai to enhance something that alreday exists, those enhancments to create an image stole from pre-existing remakes of the seatruck
Ok here's this instead since you wanna be picky: I had the idea, chat gpt helped me turn it into a physical image. Some day I will draw out what was created and fix what chat gpt failed to follow directions for. It's my original idea design based off of the original design made in BZ
an ai creation is an origial desgin even if you redraw it later
if you do not have the power to create something from scratch, you get someone else to do it, not use generitive ai. If you dont have the power to get someone else to do it, you learn how to do it yourself
I had a hard time so I used ai to help me start. I have no connections for others to do it for me. So excuse me for using my only resource available
id rather not excuse you for using something actively destroying our earth
This is getting Pretty offtopic
people like you are the reason artists like me are nearing an end
Um, electronics are destroying our earth,you gonna stop using those too? I don't see anyone else vallunteering to help me
It escalated when it didn't need to 😑
regular electronics are no where near as damaging as ai and the severe amount of water its using. By your reasoning, i should simply stop existing because everything i do is damaging our earth, using my computer, eating animal, drinking water, using puplic trasportation
these are things we cant easily avoid, using ai is something that is extremely avoidable that only careless people dont chose to stop using
I avoid snowflakes like you. I presented an idea I made with gpt and you attacked me. Gross
Theres no need to retort with anything
you used chat gpt. Gross.
Yup, I shall take my leave and let this be the end of this conversation. Forgive me for my word choices
i thought this was #off-topic for a sec
just ask chatgpt to making an apology
I dont like AI either, but please stop
one of the rules of this sever is "Do not post art that you did not create yourself. AI generated content (i.e. art, music) is not allowed anywhere in the server." im within my rights to speak up about it, keep that in mind, however yes i am done
I did say I'd draw it but ok, toodles sunny sunshine

Should i just pretend my ||seatruck|| is a cyclops and whenever i explore small spaces, i detach from all the modules so i can fit through easily?
I'm too chicken because of water and food, and health
yes
Btw how do you make food last longer
there's two ways
- make cured food with salt. cured food won't rot
- store raw fish, then cook them at the fabricator when you want to eat them
I store then cook
or: use the fridge
how about no
Just don't make the snowfox
I made it long ago
Lowk I always just use the prawn instead
You can even see the marker in the ss
Prawn suit is so slow and bhopping drains the power
I just bring a few power cells. Plus it's easier to maneuver than the snow fox and you can actually get materials from the glacial basin
Why does my game genuinely look like this, doesn't look normal to me, Everything is on it's max
it needs the grapple to reach the crazy speeds
otherwise, yeah snowfox is more consistent speed
Ok
no it doesn't, prawn suit strangely enough has the same issue a lot of 2D tile-based games have where if you move diagonally you move faster, this happens usually due to hypotenuse problems but it applies to the prawn suit as well. You can go really, really fast bhopping while moving sideways
I'm pretty sure your player also has a similar problem but I'd need to verify it
I tested the speed difference and the prawn suit is literally the fastest vehicle in the game
no upgrades
and it still beats snowfox
My bad
The diagonal thing is really true, especially when falling, which is why bhopping is so good
The grapple makes it even faster by ‘unlocking’ it’s falling state. Combine that with the diagonal thing and you can launch yourself really fast
that makes sense yeah
but realistically i don't even see the application of the grapple arm, it feels like it's diminishing returns
if you can go fast enough to cross the map in like less than a minute why would you need to go faster than that
it lets you reach higher heights during jumps, and accelerates you to a higher speed. so you fall for longer and faster
That's not normal at all. Is your gamma on max? That could very well be the problem
Gamma is on 0.9
Can I see all settings? What did you put at max?
Turn off Bloom and motion blur, lens dirt, Depth of field, and dithering
Maybe try putting Gamma to 80?
After trying that and still nothing, Maybe try putting Anti-aliasing quality to medium
gamma from 0.9 to 80? 
Idk, trying anything at this point. I've never seen this so it's a learning experience for me and offering what I think may work. But gamma sounds funny, just putting the option out there
max gamma is 2.8, which looks super bright, washed out. Default 1.0.
0.92 might be very dark, but depends on monitor
nvidia? Is the driver ancient or recent?
I have a faulty version of Drivers
yes? please do tell
I updated to the one they released just today
You are not the first, but I never saw a fix
It's fixed now
ok good.
How old was your driver? The game isn't recent
Last month 24th was the latest update, till today
nvidia, AMD, intel?
Nvidia
so an nvidia bug. Lovely. Noted
And I have an AMD CPU but that wasn't the issue
I never would have guessed that one
neither was my graphics card
better drivers is why I prefer nVidia. But they have made more mistakes lately
It would've been awfully strange if an rtx 5060 couldnt handle Sub below zero
You can't only blame nvidia, windows is also making it difficult for them 😭
Still has the power issue. Tho given how many ion cubes I possess i could switch to fully ion powered. My prawn suits inventory has two slots avaliable. The rest is ion cubes.
thanks
This is the right one
I'm sure also older drivers worked correctly
guys dont you hate it when you have no advanced wiring kit materials especially table coral
i never had that issue. i found these clusters of multiple table corals so i never ran out
Btw is there a faster way to eject ||seatruck modules||
the inside lever, or the handle on top of each module. Or try to go in a moon pool
Save before doing the moonpool
Save often, btw
the lever is on the left side inside the main cabin
Why save before moonpool
because it can go horribly wrong lol
Oh
Honestly, how?
Im guessing it takes the modules with it? 😭
Scary things?
I might stick with the lever lol
Im also moving my ||deep purple vents|| outpost to the ||crystal cave|| since i slimed out the ||leviathan|| that guards the entrance
||Seatruck dock|| is best when you have modules
Whyd i spoiler leviathan
I have that, im just asking just cause i wanna traverse the tighter areas
Oh ok
shortcut when exiting truck piloting: If the floor is too tilted, you go directly out, no walking
Btw what should i use to power an outpost when deep down
thermal reactor if possible.
bio, nuclear. Note the nuclear is noisy, put it a bit away
Thermal barely gives energy tho
Then nuclear or bioreactor
Nuclear is costly but very powerful, bioreactor is slower
Btw for nickel, the ||deep lilypads is where margeurit is right?||
are spiral plants in tree spires?
For synthetic fibers?
yes
You need to find a ||vent garden. Its a big jellyfish looking thing you have to swim up its butt to get into||
oohhhh. I found one but couldn't get inside. ty!
Yeah it took me a min to figure out how to get inside too
It’s a weird naming system
||marguerit lives in the lilypad caves||
And the ||red cotton area|| is called the ||DEEP lilypad caves||
But you can find nickel in both areas
Tomorrow is the day I conclude two things: Subnautica BZ and the show I've been watching everyday since July
Hey real quick does anyone know where to get the blueprint for the sea truck docking module?
To dock the Prawn suit? Not sure about the exact location, but I think there's plenty of seatruck module blueprints in the trenches near the sunk ship
Front, mid, or back section?
thanks twin
It’s broken into 3 parts
I forgot which is which. Do you see where the Ventgardens are?
Mmh, I'm trying to remember, I know there are plenty of sea monkey nests there (a bit North from the rear section), but are those modules? I'm not entirely sure
The wiki might be more accurate
anyone need an ion cube or 3
uh
What do you need so many cubes for, though?
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Deep_Purple_Vents Wiki says to look there
i dont lmao i just have them
yum
Ion cubes don’t regenerate so having a bunch isn’t weird at all
The salt is though
water purification, my good sir (im going to use the grav trap to get cured food, if i can ever find another fragment)
I never felt the need to stock that much salt, that’s all
where even are the grav trap fragments
Kelp forests
Not the caves underground, just on the ground of the forests themselves
ok
where is the most food at
Wdym most food
fish
Idk
Trying to get salty?
uhh
idk?
bro wheres the ||deep arctic kelp caves|| i want the last fragment for a ||reinforced dive suit||
oop
mb it was the ||ultra high capacity tank||
should i recycle most of my old batteries since i moved to ion cells
how much energy does the spicy frit salad give
and you can use the salt for water purification tablets
anyone need some spare batteries?
lol collecting free cooked fish
the pda entry for the bladder fish in below zero was 4 paragraphs long, detailing many features. (entry was ported from sn)
the entry for the artic peeper was 2 paragraphs long, technically only one because the other paragraph was extremely short and just a name joke
?
i linked my original message
is this normal
nvm, i think you're good
is it flooding ??
i checked all recipes needing kyanite, you got enough
Anyone know where to get Magnetite? I would just look it up but this is always more fun.
Im abt to build neptune then once i beat 1 ill play zero until the big subnautica 2
Nice
for below zero, ||the red cotton area||. or you can try searching for a hollow iceberg in arctic regions, the PDA will notify you when you're near one.
Thanks!
this is kewl :0 (big spoilers)
i might be stupid i somehow thought this was a hat in time for like 30 seconds 😭
you forgot the spoiler on the image

weee
its good king
bz ending>all the Game
i rlly wanna know what happened to the remaining ||Architects|| )))):
maybe will find out in 2 but it looks more like therye going to do a new story insted of continuing that plot
im pretty sure that they just remain in ||their data terminal like Alan||
||but wasnt alan close to dying when we found him? ||
||also the other arcs with alan on 4546b were dead and not in terminals so i think alan was just able to avoid dying to the infection ||
I understood that he didnt had much energy left in the base
does anyone know where to get the recipe for ||the architect organs?||
||deep crystal caves||
thx
i would like that the crystal caves were a more flora-fauna rich biome
like the lost river
hey, i want to get a glow whale egg because i am trying to get all of the eggs, but i cant for the life of me find one, where the heck are they usually??
How do I send a chat with the spoiler on it?
For text, use a couple | before and after
||like this||
I found one inside a liliypad-suspended rock
Another in the hollow of an iceberg
Which is weird, cuz we all know a whale wouldn't even fit in such places
someone want to play?
guys, dont use propulsion cannon (crab hand) in base///// i wanted to try get peeper (scariest leviathan) in my base but
- barrier
- my base broke and i should fix it
I played a bit of Subnautica below zero before but it has left game pass now, is it worth buying and playing before or after sub 2 releases
Holly optimization
yes it is
Ok thanks 👍
yay
where are you?
time to beat beloz zero in hardcore on 480p
,
The greatest thing about below zero is not its great graphics, monsters, seatruck or any of that stuff. The real reason to play BZ is to get the answers to the questions left over from Subnautica, a complete history you didn't realize you needed.
here
bad weather
wait a minute
or in another place
i was in mountain behind those rocks
idk but i think i explored all map
really "all" like 101% or idk
What is bro doin? 🤣😭
He is starting to believe 
bro u don't know my scret
||how the hell do i find the antidote||
||I've finally found the whole ice worm field place but I've only found one pengling cave around here and it was empty||
The ||antidote is on the south side of the bridge, not in ice worm area. There is a map in Phi robotics which has the antidote marked with red circle.||
OH
THANKS
that's why I've been struggling so much oh my god
what a waste of 45 minutes
aw I've just finished it after an unintentional 3-week break
i love the ending scene
i think i like it better than subnautica's ending
bro wth
XD
Weird || i scanned the alien artifact undereath that large Leviathan where you can collect plant clippings|| after scanning it no dialogue showed up
never played below zero should i give it a try
go for it
something is wrong here
caves exist?
if it's not that it prob just fell through the map
that happens sometimes
its under the map
oh well... rip
This happens a lot
ive just beat subnautica should i get below zero?
Of course the answer is yes. I personally like below zero better but its more relaxed
ok i will
i love subnautica even tho i hate the ocean but id love to play more until sub 2 so why not
Even googling where it is I can't find the last ||architect part||
Last? They are not ordered. Deep or on land?
||Organs||
ok, deep. At depth ||670, there's a suspiciously large crystal ring formation. With a hole in the middle||
I also need to find ||the cure|| but that's gonna be later
Sam put a red mark on a wall map you can scan
the map is very crude though. I have a guide from Phi to the cure and the beast
I haven't seen a mark on the wall
on a map. In Phi lab
I was there once and never again
Well it's this map, in the PDA if you scanned it. Or just look here
Took me forever to realize that the darker areas represent caves. I may be an idiot.
i wish i could personally pin things
You've just made me feel stupid
I didn't know either...
No.
Wdym no 😭
I've made my case.

Okay .. i bring news. I know what caused this sandstorm texture stuff. And it is NOT the version. In nvidia, You have 2 things, The app and the settings. In the settings, the very first screen will represent 3D resolution, Now normal people would put it on "quality", However that is exactly the problem. It MUST be set to "Let ... Choose" (the top one) or otherwise you will experience said issue.
the "app"? what
Since it was said im def not the first with this issue, This is the fix to it
In nvidia, You get the "App" which is where you check your games, Update your drivers, etc
You should find it by searching "nvidia" into windows. But there is another application with a cogwheel which is how you change the settings
do you mean GeForce Experience?
No
I don't have an nvidia App. (Or Experience)
Nvidia control panel
This one is the cause for the sandstorm
well, say that then. Most people do not set that part
they install game, maybe tweak an option, play
I didnt know the name 😭
I want to induce this problem now
Yeh, But most people will def go to the control panel to get the most quality out of it, and exactly by changing that very first setting is what causes the issue
CP: Manage 3d settings?
Yep
You'll see some spinny green thing
Going off memory here cause I dont have my pc on rn, But I did find the solution
oh Adjust image settings
You should see 3 options, One is to choose your own, third one is with a slider
Yea
I had it on the 2nd
You can be mad all you'd like but this is my favorite game. I should know this stuff.
If you use the second or third option, your game will sandstorm
First option will not have this
um. I had it on the 2nd. But this just redirects to a whole page of individual tweaks
testing Quality
Yeah, Thats what people also tweak out
Or well what I did
I never got the issue
What gpu do you own?
3080 Ti
Maybe it's dependant off that and only affects some
you said a driver update fixed it. did you install "clean"? Which deletes old settings
I got rtx 5060
Yeah
And i tested every single setting over and over, restarting the game till i found the setting that made the issue for me
So if the issue occurs, It's definitely something with the control panel
Not on subnautica's end
oh, it never was, in my mind
I've also had this issue with gacha games, tested it, I used to get weird red / purple lining
Covering over surfaces
I'd love to be more of help but Sadly I'm not an expert at this tech
no you've been helpful
ive always wondered, how did ||marguerit even survive for 12 years if she was infected the kharaa||

she ate a lot of golden peepers, and also leviathan flesh
also, she's too stubborn to die
doesnt the lore say she just ate leviathan flesh
Which flesh though 😬
okay buddy
I mean, I wouldnt be surprised
Anything is possible with the ||heat knife||
Yeaaahhhh😭
Dw i only figured that out after an hour of changing settings just to notice i had to restart
Pro tip, if you look for the sandstorm thing, You dont need to enter the game, the menu, at the bottom you can already tell if it's there or not
In the water
if you look down there, you can faintly see
DARUDE
||Her cells said no to Kharaa.||
woah.. thats tuff..
😭😭
I caught that reference
Actually lemme put that song on
If you see it faintly in the water, try going outside at night
Should look something like this 
tbh ||marguerit|| and ryley are both built different
agreed
ugh moving storage is a pain
poor boy, gl
real
but now that i've beat the game, at least moving storage is something to do
i think i need more planters
plants*
btw can i plant frost vase in iceberg???
bc i need to fully explore normal ways in game
yeah i think you can farm frost vases?
i never tried though
i too, i need it bc i cant be able to be long on ground bc of temp. metter
im with water filtration suit
What about exploring in the prawn? Or do you not have that?
prawn is big and i can't explore some places
guys
||i need 1 more architect body stuff the one in the middle i got 2/3 where is the last one i found the skeleton and the organs||
i need help
Ok u have organs and the head or the body?
But do u have the skeleton or the tisiue
1 part is on the iseberg
1 part is underwater in like temple
1 part is in the crystale cave
Ok?
yo guys, help me pls, if i grab this Shrub nut and chinese potato, will it restore again or i must grab for example 5 nuts and 6 nut i should plant?
They nuts regrow. The potatoes dont
thank you
Go For the Nuts, lol
Top 3 food in bz to me
I usually play freedom mode, but in survival, my fave is the fevered pepper, as is gives food and water
But the nuts restore some health too, so it's a keeper
I always have fevered peppers, shrub nuts and marbomellon in my bz greenhouses
And don't forget the ||preston plant|| to make those amazing salads
Oh yeah true
I love bz js because it made some of the more useless items funcfional
Coffee machine redemption 
I have coffee beside me right now, 🙂
omg new update? skins for techs?
just started playing like 2 hours ago what are some tips on what i should do, so far i have a sea truck and a little base around 70m deep
They give you tips where to start in the PDA recordings 🙂
ok thanks
I won't spoil it but theres actually quite a few places closer to the starting point than you would think
Save Often!
Explore around the artifact beacons, that is their real purpose
You can exit and re-enter the prawn as needed
Anyone got any good mods to use for sbz multiplayer? I tried to play one with my friend but you have to pay to use it now
what is a wave without the ocean, a beginning without an end? they are different but go together
there’s no way you killed it
Did you use the knife or the sea truck aka battering ram
how
prob drill it with the the suit
ah i see the prawn in the picture
for the life of me couldnt remember the name of that 😅
Super Mech Suit of doom
One interesting thing I noticed on my custom vegan game is that shrub nuts and creepvine seed clusters don't rot, so those were my early game food and water source when traveling.
you can eat creepvine seeds?
I am an idiot
It straight up just gives you water
How could i miss something so good
Oh you can only eat them in bz
Still, amazing
|| deep twisty bridges- where the squidsharks are ||
Nope. It's only in gelena outcrops
Yeah bz added alot of quality of life updates to plants. As well as adding a larger variety of consumable underwater plants (frost heart anemone ily) they also made lanternfruit give no water but alot of heat so
if you say so
ima try thanks
Lantern fruit is more of a curiosity when the game also has fewered peppers...
Fevered Peppers are a cheat code
Peppers are hands down the goat of bz
Other than the seatruck
Seatruck enjoyer? You're the goat.
my only marblemelon just clipped through the ground and my last save was 2 hours ago
cool
hi
The seatruck would make the original subnautica too easy.
As fast and nimble as the seamoth with more storage
Ramming speed
Can be stealthy like the cyclops
ez pz
true
I don't like the sea truck
why
It's okay, opinions can be wrong 🙂
yes, but why
For a small map, it causes issues and drag
fair point
i like seatruck, but i can see that a lot of people hate it
Think of it like you get to the general area with all the modules and then you detatch and its the seamoth
none is best then the praw suit | my opinion 👍
Prawn is great, always will be
I like the prawn suit a lot I love mining
yeah
I have as many storage addons and I use it to gather resources in caves and then take them back to my seatruck or cyclops
its also way better on land than snowfox
The more storage you need, the more annoying it becomes. It's annoying
hate it or not the seatruck is perfect for below zero
the cyclops wasn't fitting anywhere
I don't love the modular design of it.
Nah, the idea I have is a better idea of a vehicle
I wish it was just a smaller cyclops where you could undock the pilot cabin
But it's an effective little sub, just ram into anything thats hostile lol
It's too bulky... can't fit in places it should be able to
I've never had a problem fitting it, I can even get it through the jellyfish caves
It's not always fun though 🙂
silent hill
Twisty, Lily, and Crystal... annoying
I usually max out with Pilot -> Storage -> Fabricator -> Maybe Prawn Docking and Aquarium if not. Just detatch if you need a temporary seamoth
Bug of the day: I cannot pilot my seatrucks, the prompt doesn't show up
I ran over a mini pengling with my prawn 😭
mods erase this man
guys my seatruck blew up i wasnt even at crush depth like bro what also the health was at 90
What's up
so i just started today, and ive been struggling to progress at all
ive been at it for an hour or so
What's blocking ya
i cant find the one plant to make the battery
Oh yeah it's a pain
oh
it's in little holes, glows brightly green
ill check
Save often, make the air bladder, it's great and dual use
Should be plenty near your pod
Pin recipes. Don't hate the sea monkey, they soon switch to helping you
Second the air bladder, saved me a lot in the twisty bridges
found it
Congratulations!
You could just take it back
yeah
They just wanna play
i doubt there is but is there a way to change the pda voice. i find it kinda annoying
I've not seen one
dang
i mean if you really wanted to you could recreate every single voiceline and swap it in the game files but at that point just go play the first game
youll get used to it tho
so that shouldnt be necessary
not gonna lie i greatly underestimated the size of phi robotics that place is absolutely massive
I never noticed anything about the pda voice until people griped about it on the internet so it can't be that bad
Every time I hear the PDA voice in BZ, I think of Cleo the telephone fortune teller
She sub on my nautica til I below zero
Also I’ve been trying to get to below zero but I can’t find it I’ve searched the whole map I’m pretty sure
I went behind the aurora even but there was no ice or anything
I don't really like the bz pda voice. But it's grown on me
Yo where do i get lithium early game?
on top of purple vents, the yellow biome east of delta dock
this is south
North = the small moon and the volcano
If you're searching around the Aurora, you're VERY far away from sector zero
Prawn suit with drill arm and grappling arm
Yes I did
And I killed 2
Legend
Oh you need to go into the dead zone and you can see a turn under the map
Then swim down from there and you should see it
You didn't notice the non-existence of voices?
the mysterious floating vertical ||crabsnake||
i forgot if there was a place to put gameplay pics or not
Wrong game?
This belongs in #subnautica-chat
do ||uranium cubes|| respawn? i got some while searching for an artifact, but idk which one :(
sorry, ||uranite crystals||*
What can be wrong with the voice if there is no voice? Sounds like problem solved to me.
to be fair i play while rewatching Hells kitchen.
They don’t respawn
can the alien containment get over populated??
It has a population limit, once it hits the limit, the fish will stop breeding
thank you
||cure made body beinf built||
But fish don't start dying in alien containment regardless how many you put in.
idk but the original subnautica is better then below 0 but below 0 has more content and less bugs
Cool
noooooooo, my prawnsuit has deleted from the map🥀🥀🥀 i cant went home ewwww
seems like subnautica bored watching like im abusing crab for fun and deleted it😭😭😭😭
keep chilling
Guys I am starting to think about doing a second base something like reasearch base but idk where to put it, could someone help?
i was thinking close to the 'crazy ladys' base 🤣
XD
Uhh it could actually work and it will be like 750 (idk) meters from my current one
Kay btw where did u build your first true base?
twisting bridges but close the thermal vents
didnt even think about that
And btw u know what I did when I unlocked nuclear reactor?
It's nice cus u don't need any support like those fundation for them
Above water = no need for fundatiom
Below = high need
i think it was in her base or it was one of the artifacts i scaned
But u know what I did?
nooo sorry miss read that
I REMOVED all of the solar panels and putted in 4 rods that I found, problem? Null
U don't need to be sorry
🤣 aahhh i forgot about those
Mercury ship
Well imma do some blueprints and if u want to see what my base looks like I could send u them
sure!
Okey!
Well btw I was thinking that the reasearch lab would be like 2 large rooms (those large large) and two of the multipurpose and maybe a moonpool for a storage oh wait we need 3 large cus one for energy... how much it will be uhh
my DOWNFALL is the storage..
Why?
been moving stuff around the past 1.5 hours😑
Oh
REMEMBER TO SAVE!
Holy moly
@feral parcel I did some calculations and I HAVE TO GET 11 LED FOR THAT?
thats at least an easy find
U gotta be kidding me with that sis
i guess i just got lucky 😅 . i have 3 extra right now. had a full locker
insanity
Put me in a mental facility when I am done collecting led

OOPS
how do i get the docking module
ah ok thx
god the prawnsuit with grapple feels so much better here compared to sn1
if i have the prawn docked in my seatruck while its in the seatruck dock will the prawn also charge
no the docking module doesn't charge at all
ah ok so it needs its own moonpool?
u can go in this "purple biome" for lithium
ik where to find it i just wasnt bothered
ooo yeah thats where i go for lithium usually
also found the docking module there like u told me
yes i have all fragments
or
i also found an entrance to some crystal biome
why is the docking module not colored like the rest of it
it's a bug. just save and reload and it'll be colored
Hey guys i got a question
Where did u all built your homes?
twisty bridges, starting area
bordering on a kelp forest
somehow i made it fit
I can count the pixels
And for a bigger base?
that is my biggest base.
i have an outpost in the purple vents too
I built on land
where do i get spiral plant clippings
||inside those giant jellyfish leviathans||
or ||in the trench at the purple vents||
yeah i remember the ||jellyfish leviathans|| now that you say it, what direction are they in? if we take the lifepod as reference
Okey okey, do u have any more locations btw?
that's all
Oh alright
southwest
Does anyone else got more of locations? I wanna build my base somewhere else kinda on my new world
thx
is the spy pengling needed for story progression or can i ignore crafting it
it's needed for one part of the story, yes.
Guys do u know where is a large free space to build a base?
The glacial reservoir with all the eye jellys (better for materials then reliability)
Also at phy-robotics there is a large room fragment for you to scan
here me out, be able to add windows to the underside of base peices. like where the vertical connector goes but a window
Okey but where is a large area of water where i could build a base etc
||so if i understood everything correctly sam sacrificed her life to destroy the facility at which the frozen leviathan was contained so that the research of the kharaa bacterium could be stopped. But how did she actually cause the cave to collapse? and how did she obtain the antidotum? ||
Er, it was ||an accident. She dropped the explosive maybe, when Parvan disturbed her. There's an audio recording of this, in a PDA next to the buried forklift in the entrance||
title is Security Recording
ok they need to stop hiding those pda's like that 😭
they glow brightly
it's missable for sure
anyways i played it back, and ||sam's telling parvan to step back so we was probably intending to do something dangerous, or in other words, blow up the facility. I'm not sure if sacrificing herself was exactly the intention though||
Alterra said the cause was ||negligence. It's accurate. Some people are dissapointed||
yeah. me kinda too. game potrayed it as ||"bad corp hiding the death of their employee" but honestly they just didnt provide the context||. I don't mind it that much tho
also, any tips for the ||ice worm area?|| going in for the first time. id also wanna scan one of em if that's possible without sacrificing myself or my vehicle
Does someone have a great area with open terrain for a base?
Where is it needed
Sam’s story
||glacial basin, past phi robotics||
Also, how do i avoid getting attacked by those snow bears
The worm is not scannable. There's a dead one up north-east for scanning
oh cool
yea fair enough idk how you're supposed to approach that
flare in hand
Yes, flare. Your repair tool also works, if you operate it
OHH thanks
Do flares have any kind of timer before they stop working?
yes but it's very long
Or infinite
Okay ty
repair tool or laser cutter works in a pinch
or, my personal favorite, prawn suit with drill arm
they are scared of your magic

Guys I have a question
What is your question
Why shadow leviathan got better concepts
But it released like something stupid
Because that's what they chose to add to the game?
Idk I think concepts better
Okay
I'm saying this because shadow leviathan looks very strange
I JUST DONE alan body
Hes nice and tall...
I am now going back with my Sea Nugget suit to my sea nugget and I am going to that artifact
Okey so i just completed the game and... WTF does the ending mean?
||You're on the Architect planet now presumably||
That I know but why tf is there a cliffhanger...
What we will get subnautica 3 on there?
||Subnautica 2 will not play planet on the Architect planet||
I mean for me
|| cus of the looks its like most of the architects are dead or abonded it||
|| but 3 the one after second||
Frick it then 4
Okey should I start a second save on normal survival of wit
wut*
Design some bases?
Do whatever you feel like
Uhh finding love?
Not possible, I look like a rat on good days, and on other like a wet rat
I meant in the game
That sounds a bit harsh
But it's true, I look like a idk 12 y/o but I am 15
People tend to see themselves worse than they actually are but otherwise maybe give everything the time it needs
Okey btw i just saw that i have 74% on trophies, and I need 3 more for platinum sooo what are they? I know that one is for the foxrider or something
OH I searched it
Second is for the warm suit (how TF do u get it?)
Third is for the antidote
How do u get those 2 things?
For the suit and antidote you both need a Spy Pengling
Okey
Spy Pengling can pick up fur from Snow Stalkers that you need for the suit
I got it and what should I do? Gimmie a tutorial cus my stupid ahh won't get it
Ohhhh
Antidote is in one of those little caves that you access with the Pengling
Nothing, you can cure it with the antidote and also scan it
And if I cure it I get the trophy?
I imagine so
Imma check tomorrow
congratulations, you cured a species that had been extinct for 100 million years
Wut
What do u mean by that good sir
Why is below zero hated so much because at this point I think everyone is just exaggerating because I think it does a lot of things better than subnautica
The biomes are so much more vibrant and the game itself feels more alive knowing that there's actual life and things around
Plus the introductions of so many qol things that subnautica doesn't have
Also the music
Both soundtracks are great but like below zero music is also very nostalgic and memorable
my guess is nostalgia. they hated it becaue it wasn't like subnautica 1
