below-zero-chat

[golden pine]

Unjustifiable hate

[lavish lion]

Here me out, being able to put a vertical connector on a large room. Like, there already is room for a ladder if you connect 2 of them

[toxic ocean]

What if you want to place a thing where the ladder is?

[lavish lion]

I tried.

I think

[toxic ocean]

Oh wait vertical connecter

I misread the message

Never mind

[hexed agate]

im late but its because below zero was just too cartoony for me, it had different graphics and the character speaking everytime ruins the game and it basically thinks for you

[golden pine]

Hm I played on the switch so the graphics are probably terrible to begin with but it can't be that bad?

[hexed agate]

its not even about it being bad, the graphics just didnt match with subnautica, its cartoony

[golden pine]

Cartoony

The colors?

[hexed agate]

yeah

[golden pine]

Because it just looks prettier and more vibrant than dull and depressing?

[hexed agate]

in my opinion dull and depressing is better because it was actually realistic, atleast the sea truck is a cool concept

also subnautica wasnt even dull and depressing, below zero could actually be a little more realistic

[golden pine]

The atmosphere and the idea of being alone and knowing that it's just you makes it a bit unsettling

[hexed agate]

yeah but thats what subnautica is meant to be, you crash into an alien planet and there are no survivors with you

[golden pine]

Well I believe it's different between these two games because they both involve different stories and how you arrive at the planet. In the first game it's more accidental I guess but in below zero you actually have an intended purpose to be there so there's no need for the feeling of loneliness or dark atmosphere... Hmmm maybe?

[hexed agate]

yeah but its not just the atmosphere, its also the main character, she talks everytime, ruining the idea of thinking for yourself, and theres also that alien dude that i forgot the name of, the main character's goal was stupid and she went to an alien planet that she knew that it has leviathan class fauna and still went there to discover what happened with her sister

[golden pine]

But like she wanted to find her sister

[hexed agate]

in a ALIEN planet full of LEVIATHAN class lifeforms and its also ABANDONED

[golden pine]

Well Margaret lives there

[hexed agate]

yeah but she didnt know so she knew that the planet was abandoned and still went there

[lean goblet]

I'm at the ||mercury II stern||, and I read that you can get three parts of the ||parallel processing unit|| from it, but I keep getting turned around and can't find them. :( i have a laser cutter, can someone ELI5 how to find them?

[lean goblet]

nvm got it :)

[steel stream]

Iirc stern has 2 ppu fragments, bow would have 3

[lean goblet]

yeah my bad :) I'm actually at the bow now, trying to find a ||high capacity oxygen tank|| in the lilypad caverns x)

[steel stream]

Do you mean ultra capacity tank? That's there, but high capacity tank is in twisty bridges canyon

[lean goblet]

yeah, ultra my bad

i have the high capacity already

[pale kernel]

Im a MURDERER bro, I accidentally killed a baby Pengling and its parent. I ran into them with my prawn suit because I couldn’t see very well in the dark 😭😭😭

I didnt mean to bro 😭✌️🥀

[lean goblet]

gfaljk i can't find it :(

[toxic ocean]

The ultra high tank?

Search the nests around the ||”pilot last known location”|| area.

[lean goblet]

tyy

[main junco]

on mac, any idea how to scale the image properly? those black bars should be filled up

[unkempt prawn]

Omg I change my mind

AMAZING GAME wow

Yo at the beginning I thought this game is going to be very mid but that was amazing

[finite fox]

first time i played it was dope, till i went into thise crystal caves and got molested by big shadow💔

[fleet stone]

I just did that but I only hit the parent, I took the pengling to my base for traumatizing it.

[toxic ocean]

I put pengling in bioreactor if it ever clogs my aquarium module

Other than that I do try to avoid killing penguins

[pale kernel]

I took bros sibling AND parent, im a monster 🥀

[cerulean solar]

Wait a goddamn minute

how did Margarite's reaper survive the void?

[fading panther]

It didn’t

[cerulean solar]

well how did She float to like Sector Zero

[fading panther]

In the Corpse

[cerulean solar]

in the void?

[fading panther]

Yes

[cerulean solar]

But thats the void

[fading panther]

Yes

[cerulean solar]

and Ghost leviathans eat every organism thats in the void

[fading panther]

Native yes, But they are filter feeders

It’s a dead zone, only microorganisms and plankton there

Also their territory isnt the whole void

[cerulean solar]

But they should have eaten Her

[fading panther]

Odds are they don’t care about a floating corpse

They attack us out of territorial instinct not hunger

[cerulean solar]

iunno if cats eat chicken bones

ahhhh

[regal carbon]

Why does my base always burn nuclear energy before bio energy? I thought renewables always had priority

[ancient kelp]

That's not normal... I think. How many rods are you using?

[regal carbon]

Four (maximum)

[ancient kelp]

Do you have bio and nuclear?

[regal carbon]

And thermal (adding solar soon)

[toxic ocean]

It consumes in built order

So if I build solar -> bio -> nuclear, it’ll pull from solar first

[regal carbon]

So it will be fixed if I unbuild my nuclear reactor and rebuild it?

[ancient kelp]

Glad you came in, because I actually didn't know the answer to this one. But how did you figure this one out?

[toxic ocean]

I built my power plants in that order and it works like that

[toxic ocean]

Yes

[regal carbon]

Are you sure, though?

[toxic ocean]

Sometimes thermal plants take time to be “added” to the power pool, so it’ll end up being dead last

And in sn1, the order may get messed up for some reason

Below zero is the most consistent with its power sources

[toxic ocean]

Again, that’s sn1

Below zero was never like that from my experience

[ancient kelp]

Did you experiment with other orders?

[toxic ocean]

Yes

I just did that right now, I removed and rebuilt my solar and bio generator and now it’s pulling from my nuclear one

[ancient kelp]

That's so fascinating. Is it like that too in Sn1?

[toxic ocean]

Sort of

In the image above it says that your power order is changed randomly when you load

But when you just build them it’s in the right order

[ancient kelp]

Oh ok, that's cool. However I only like using nuclear in BZ

[steel stream]

Power source order is initially the order you build them but upon reloading a save the order is random

Ah...it was already discussed...

[cloud shell]

I use thermal or solar for bz usually

[ancient kelp]

Interesting, but I can understand why lol

[cloud shell]

I never really build low tbh

[ancient kelp]

I like big power because of the scanner room and not wanting to constantly fill bio reactors

[regal carbon]

Did I misplace my seatruck keys now?

[ancient kelp]

I guess Seatruck says no driving today

[regal carbon]

Been like that for two days (and my other seatruck on the other side of the base, same problem)

I only need it for one last trip before I'm done with the game (I need some fevered pepper, and I don't want to get to Marguerit's base by prawn suit)

[ancient kelp]

Well that's a big bug... but it's looking like you will need to go to her by prawn

[regal carbon]

I wonder if it's related to the time a while ago where I couldn't get my seatruck to dock (same base)

Bug that disappeared out of nowhere

[ancient kelp]

😮 maybe it is. Should doing a different base in a different location help? Maybe. Possible to move locations? Unlikely lol

[regal carbon]

Hard to move an entire base without a seatrucks, though, it took me like 5 trips to move to this location, and my base was 4x times smaller at the time

[ancient kelp]

😭 omg that's bad.... you're not like me, I'd move just using my own inventory but then the issue stands even if that happened, still can't get the sea truck to move

[fluid flame]

what are some cool plants for the plant shelf? i need help

[fluid flame]

how do i get to the ||fabricator caverns||

[ancient kelp]

Explore crystals

[fluid flame]

i kinda am

I might be blind

[toxic ocean]

ok so i took a look at the map, the crystal caves doesn't have crazy paths.
find the ||deep crystal caves|| entrance and go past that

in the ||west|| direction

[ancient kelp]

Look for red. If you're already there, then it shouldn't take long to find

[fluid flame]

you see, that's what I'm doing

aight, I came back to my base to get all the mats for ||the body||, ill soon do a 2nd tour and hopefully succeed

[regal carbon]

When you're in the cave, always go against the current (unless you're trying to go out, in which case it's the other way around)

[ancient kelp]

Oh, didn't realize

[regal carbon]

Are your bases tiny or is your inventory HUGE?

[ancient kelp]

Neither, I just have determination when something gets in my way

[ember mason]

Is there a way to know your base’s current hull status before building a new construction?

[toxic ocean]

either use control room.
or deconstruct a window or any other piece

[faint ivy]

Hello guys just started the game I have a huge problem

There's all those gold thingys and they definitely gonna drop more but I'm out of space should I drop silver or sulfur?

Or copper? Although I feel copper is more important rn

[misty raft]

Sulfur

not used in many recipies and its common to find

[faint ivy]

Ok thanks

[misty raft]

keep only one if you need a repair tool

since its part of the recipie

[stone anchor]

He's right.

[faint ivy]

Ok great I'll do that thanks

Jackpot🤑 had to drop some silver and copper also but I think it's worth it, they're both needed also as I've seen but quite easy to find

[faint ivy]

How do I cycle through this? I'm on ps4 and changed jump from triangle to X. No button is working

[clever barn]

No trigger no nothing? And you cant rebind?

The prompt to click doesnt even seem to appear (i dont recall if there is one)

[faint ivy]

Hmm yeah when I put jump back on triangle it works ig I'll have to leave it on triangle then

[clever barn]

Aw dang

[faint ivy]

It only turns a bit lighter blue

[clever barn]

Well at least there's a hover animation

[faint ivy]

Oh can't scan for magnetite yet anyway so ig I'll go find some other bases and go to the distress signals I have open thank you🙂

[clever barn]

Good luck with your adventures

[faint ivy]

Thanks😆

Found lithium in a field with purple geysers and suddenly a huge thing swims around. I'M OUT!! only got a lil knife😭

Accidentally hit square soo close😭

So many nests down there I try to get the third part for ultra high cap tank and then I'm out will have to be back some later as my truck can only go to 150 rn

Aand I died

Why are there so many random upgrades down there

Disgusting

Ok idk what happened but nice

Only want the third part for ultra high capacity tank😫

[gentle forge]

How to get to each artifact

[toxic ocean]

||alan|| gives you hints to a few, but the rest you just kinda have to find yourself

[gentle forge]

I need walkthroughs

[regal carbon]

Is there a limit to the height of a base before the control room can no longer display it all?

Apparently there is. I built another control room and the "hidden" part is displayed normally, and this time it's the other side of the base that doesn't show

Mmh, ignore the previous sentence: if I go down, I cannot go back up

[faint ivy]

Do resources respawn? I've noticed that ribbon plants do but do ores etc also? And what should I use my ion cubes for I have 4 rn but I stored them cause there's no crafting recipe with them yet and I have a bioreactor that's being powered forever with root stuff

[toxic ocean]

Ores and plants don’t respawn

But you can cut/harvest some plants to farm them in a growbed

[faint ivy]

Hmm ribbon def does cause in the beginning I harvested it multiple times right next to the drop pod. But corral etc doesn't?

[toxic ocean]

Coral plates? I don’t think those can be grown

[faint ivy]

Well I'm in a spot where there's tons of it anyways (close to delta base where the cable like roots are and it goes very deep down)

[faint ivy]

Thinking of doing another base by the lilypads where I was earlier

[delicate star]

Guys does below zero still crash bc im thinking of buying it?

[fading panther]

Wdym still

[delicate star]

Idk is it?

[trim spire]

been playing subnautica for straight 12 horus bro omd

[fading panther]

Depends on how well your system runs, I personally have no problems

[regal carbon]

On PS5, I think I only got one crash over more than a hundred hours of gameplay

[upper rivet]

hello

[faint ivy]

Do scanner room range upgrades stack?

Sea monkeys being so kind of bringing me magnetite so I just got the hud upgrade and want to get the range upgrades next if they bring me more I've pinned the hud recipe so the magnetite chance is higher

[toxic ocean]

Yes

[faint ivy]

Ok cool thank you

[fierce hollow]

bz is lovely

[faint ivy]

Those last forever?

Cause when I first built the reactor I've put 4 in and they never got consumed

[eternal garnet]

they are high energy but not forever. And don't regrow

[tawny trellis]

Do you think they'll add architect lore to the game? Like seeing new architects

[faint ivy]

Oh ok I'm in a region where I can get them fairly easy though I know of 2 or 3 caves where there where still like 20 of them

Thanks

[eternal garnet]

Not adding anything to the game at this point. Maybe you meant for SN2

[tawny trellis]

Aaw I get it. I just love al-an so much he's one of my favorite characters and I wish he got more lore

[hollow mountain]

On the contrary, I don't like him at all😅

[tawny trellis]

Aw why

[eternal garnet]

And others like him ... too much

[tawny trellis]

I just think he's silly

[hollow mountain]

Please dont elaborate

[tawny trellis]

I also just love his design in general. I like creatures a lot and creating them so when I see a creature with an amazing design I just get obsessed

[faint ivy]

Hmm my scanner rooms reach is 500m and it only found 4 diamonds I might have to build another base by the lilypads region

[hollow mountain]

Well to be fair he is kind of a victim of how the story is handled in general. I find him extremely annoying and overbearing, and then frustratingly mysterious at times. I get he's supposed to be that mysterious, otherworldly creature, but his whole deal is that the ||disease|| is his fault and whoooo what will happen to my species.

The way he and Robin talk is also weird af, but that's another topic

[tawny trellis]

I can get that. I'm a big fan of these type of stories, like edgy stuff. I also enjoy stories where you have to put your own pieces into the puzzle

[hollow mountain]

I like those stories too, it's just that Al-An repeatedly throws the puzzle box at but doesn't tell you where the pieces are until the very end. His visual design is great though, I agree

[faint ivy]

Do I need to carry my knife if I'm not corral farming?

[eternal garnet]

yes, to get seeds, creepvine, discourage large fish

and with an upgrade, cook fish

[tawny trellis]

I completely get that :) everyone has their own taste in stories. Mine I'm very much one of those where I like the secret held until a big reveal. But probably just him being a big awesome alien is also just kinda fogging over the bad stuff.

[cobalt acorn]

Whats the 2 best seatruck modules? I havent scanned any modules yet (aside from the aquarium) but i wanna kinda plan my truck out

[faint ivy]

I play on the mode without food it seemed to be more chill for first experience. Just got the first depth Upgrade for the truck so I'm planning to go back down into the lilypad region

[cobalt acorn]

Ik that the more modules you have the more it slows down

But i saw that 2 modules doesnt slow you down

[hollow mountain]

Why would you even consider leaving your only weapon at home when half the planet tries to kill you?

[cobalt acorn]

Im thinking of going with either fabricator or storage module and the docking module

[eternal garnet]

Fab has a tiny storage also

[faint ivy]

Because I don't think a little knife would do much against huge fish that kill me with 2 attacks I just run away with my glider back into my truck😭

[cobalt acorn]

Yeah i thought so

[hollow mountain]

It does more than you think actually

[eternal garnet]

and you could store things in prawn

[cobalt acorn]

I havent really played bz before, i played creative for 30 mins in 2022 to mess around with base and seatruck stuff but asides from that all my knowledge comes from stuff ive seen online

Which is funny cus im basically a subnautica 1 vet

[cobalt acorn]

What prawn upgrades does bz have? Is it any different from sub 1?

[faint ivy]

Ok then I'll leave repair tool out of hotbar and put it when needed

[toxic ocean]

i say fabricator and storage first. the horsepower upgrade lets you carry a third module without losing much speed, so you can attach the docking module after you get that

[hollow mountain]

Yeah him being an alien is a massive positive factor. But like I said it's not even specifically him, it's more that the writing is... Suboptimal (heh) and the story consistently slamdunks you into the next objective.

[eternal garnet]

most of them

[cobalt acorn]

Most? Whats different?

[eternal garnet]

you don't need flashlight with seaglide

[hollow mountain]

Fabricator, Storage and sleeping room (?) coupled with horsepower upgrade and as long as you have power, you have a mini-cyclops

[tall hollow]

The flashlight is waaaaay brighter but BZ in general has might better brighter* lighting than subnautica

[cobalt acorn]

I know bro

[eternal garnet]

I want to talk to whoever made seaglide light blue

[cobalt acorn]

I was so surprised when night first came

The twisty bridges are so bright

[tall hollow]

Yeah in subnautica 1 I can't even leave the drop pod at night until I have a light source haha

[cobalt acorn]

I hated night exploration in the first even at the start cus it was so dark at night

[cobalt acorn]

Flares ftw

Where are some good base locations that arent too far from thermal energy sources? I visited Marguerite and scanned base stuff so i wanna start building my main base

Rn i just have a + compartment on the drop pod with some lockers in it

[tall hollow]

do flares last forever? I didn't think so but the wiki makes it sound like they do

My current base is on delta island dock haha

[eternal garnet]

not forever but a long time if not thrown

base: Near delta island, any side. Under delta there's thermal. it's kinda rare

Delta is very central to the map

[faint ivy]

I've built here, u can place solar panels on ur roofs and on the ice above until u get reactors. Lots of resources around also

[eternal garnet]

this is north of delta. A little far from some of the action

[cobalt acorn]

They dont

[cobalt acorn]

Thanks

Like i was boutta say im new to this game idk where any of the locations are 😭

[eternal garnet]

Delta is the only proper island, and it sits in the center

[cobalt acorn]

Im considering building between delta and twisty bridges

Near the thermal vents and purple vent things

Near useful resources

And pretty central

[faint ivy]

I was lost on phi looking to get back into the ocean for about 20 minutes😫

[eternal garnet]

There's real land but it's so big it's a continent

[cobalt acorn]

Thats to the west and the north right

I remember looking at mapgenie

I love mapgenie sm

[faint ivy]

Well I'll go to lilypad region again now that my truck can go to 300 and afterwards back to phi for some stalker fur

[eternal garnet]

you can find the pilot now. When you do, drop a beacon!

[faint ivy]

Thanks for reminding me I always forget beacons😭

[eternal garnet]

you should always bring a beacon when swimming. if you die, it renames+drops

BZ new feature

[faint ivy]

Oooh damn that's cool

[hollow mountain]

WHAT I had no idea. That is so useful!

[cobalt acorn]

Wait thats so cool

[eternal garnet]

early game, the air bladder is really good. Of course: Save often.

[faint ivy]

Somehow I always respawn inside my truck

[cobalt acorn]

But also the game gives you a marker for the entrance to the ||deep lillypads where her base is||

So save the beacon i say

[eternal garnet]

you respawn in the latest base or powered truck you visit

[cobalt acorn]

I love the air bladder

[faint ivy]

Ok cool

[cobalt acorn]

It saved me a lot in 1 when they added bz stuff to it and its helped me alot in bz

[eternal garnet]

uh, that marker is nearly useless. it's not by her base

[cobalt acorn]

True

[eternal garnet]

it's on the way though

[cobalt acorn]

But I feel like once you can find the entrance to the hole its easy enough to get to her base

[steel stream]

The beacon is to mark her base, which is some distance from the signal the game gives you

[eternal garnet]

yes. when you learnt the way

the beacon you drop will have other uses. hint hint

[faint ivy]

Is mercury 2 worth going in? Last time I was there I didn't have a laser cutter

[eternal garnet]

oh yes. it's in 3 parts, one of them very small

[cobalt acorn]

Wrecks are always worth exploring when you can

[eternal garnet]

may want to bring an extra o2 tank for that

and laser cutter

[cobalt acorn]

I havent done any of the mercury wrecks yet but thats what i do in 1

Loot every location

Get them sweet sweet scannable fragments

Where do i find diamonds

[eternal garnet]

notice strange orange-rimmed panels you can cut. For a quest item

[faint ivy]

Get alan and then pin a recipe, monkeys might give u some. Beneath my base the scanner found 4 but I'll have to establish another base some deeper for another scanner although mine has a range of 500 now

[faint ivy]

Ok thank you very much

[cobalt acorn]

Monkeys bring you resources for pinned stuff? Thats cool

I had a monkey bring me a titanium and robin complained about wanting them to bring useful stuff

Why do the monkeys help us? I know they steal stuff and ik they bring stuff

What decides that

[faint ivy]

Yeah that's a little hint. Rn I'm hoping they bring me some ruby so I pinned depth upgrade 2

[toxic ocean]

||alan|| decides that

[eternal garnet]

Monkeys 50% of the time pick from one of your pins. Unpinning helps

how? Alan talks to them

[cobalt acorn]

Oh so having ||alan|| means they will help me now?

[eternal garnet]

yes!

[cobalt acorn]

Glad i got him early then

Found him like 30 mins in

They didnt even get the CHANCE to steal my stuff

Thanks yall for the pinned resource thing tip

Very helpful

[faint ivy]

Found a ruby in the lilypad depths where all the monkey nests are now I can scan for them yay. (Still looking for third part of ultra cap tank)

3 rubys already I'll def make a base there

[cobalt acorn]

Can you only get the ultra cap tanks from sea monkey nests? I found one fragment already

[eternal garnet]

scan every nest

[faint ivy]

Found margerit but not the third part yet it's a maze down there lol

[cobalt acorn]

Does power usage pull from the most recently built power generator? I remember it being like that in sub 1

I wanna do both solar and thermal

[faint ivy]

Where to get spiral plant crippling?

[toxic ocean]

It pulls from first to last built

So if you build solar -> thermal, it’ll pull from solar first

[toxic ocean]

||inside vent gardens, those giant jellyfish||

[faint ivy]

||Oh haven't found those yet only the jellyfish beneath phi glacier||

Found the final part of tank😭😆

[cobalt acorn]

So if i wanna have solar as a backup incase my thermal gets messed up, ill wanna build all of my thermal first, then add solar last?

[toxic ocean]

Yes

[cobalt acorn]

Also, is there a list of plantable edible food? Stuff like the bulbo trees and marblemelons in sub 1

I heard of some pepper plant thing, is there anything else

[faint ivy]

NICKEL

[toxic ocean]

Not sure there’s a list

The sn1 plants return. For new ones, there’s the pepper, the shrub nut, Preston’s plant, and antennae plant

[cobalt acorn]

Nice

Thanks

[toxic ocean]

I think there’s some other ones but those are the major ones I know of

[faint ivy]

Think I'll go back to base for now

[toxic ocean]

You can cut gel sacs and plant them

[faint ivy]

Ooh then I'll take 2 with me and search some more nickel

[cobalt acorn]

You cant eat gel sacs anymore?

Unplayable

[toxic ocean]

No you can still eat them

[eternal garnet]

You will however grow cute pink bumps all over if you do

[faint ivy]

I'll make a scanner base in that region there's so much good stuff

Found a really deep down going hole but don't wanna explore cause I'm full and my truck can't go down there yet

My current base scanner room only found 4 diamonds so...

Wish there was a way to expand inventory

[steel stream]

For edible plants, you can now eat creepvine seed cluster for 10 water. Starting area also has bullseye shroom, which is edible and you can find something edible under the ice (I don't remember the English name for it). About food plants in yhe first game, bulbo trees are no more (there might be some to see, but cannot harvest them)

[cobalt acorn]

Thanks

[faint ivy]

I've had to change the location of my scanner room but not by much because I've built a truck docking station and now I can't scan for ruby and diamonds anymore why's that?

[eternal garnet]

scanner only displays what is found by the scanner. Which takes a while to update

[teal flint]

In theory you can even grow:
Seaweed (not the bulbs)
Lantern fruit trees (found in) ||altera locations||
Firebulbs? (spicy cold weather plants found in ||Land caves||)
One land plant that i forget
And two others i think...

[eternal garnet]

fevered pepper, yes. Great plant to grow and eat. Ingredient to best food in game

[teal flint]

Beware that most food does spoil! So you may have to be tactical in learning when to collect or harvest, or- simply not cooking things until required. All plants do not cook!

"Winging it" is not a sound survival tactic in the cold. Though is useful in running away from threats. (Except irL)

[toxic ocean]

i just found out ||preston plant tames snow stalkers||
that would've been useful to know before i re-enacted obraxis prime on them

[regal carbon]

You can put spoilable food in a fridge

[cobalt acorn]

You can ||tame snow stalkers||??? Hell yeah

[toxic ocean]

i gotta test that out
maybe not ||tame||, but pacify them for a bit

[cobalt acorn]

Im pretty sure my main base is gonna be built on the delta island, will i be able to transport the tame there

Also can i tame penglings

[regal carbon]

Transport the tame?

[regal carbon]

Can't tame what is not aggressive to begin with

[faint ivy]

GET OUT of my neighborhood 😂

[faint ivy]

Taming is the definition of making a wild animal submissive it's not only for aggressive animals...

[regal carbon]

That was a short way of saying that the behaviour of penglings cannot be changed (I wouldn't call their original behaviour submissive, though)

[cobalt acorn]

I looked it up, it only pacifies them for a little bit

[dense nacelle]

Oh really…

[cobalt acorn]

Insert drake computer gif

The bot wont let me do the actual thing

[faint ivy]

I got warned for too many caps😫

Do I have to go to all 3 mercury 2 parts for parallel processing unit parts?

[eternal garnet]

no. there's 2, 3 and 1 in the wrecks

but you do want to explore the two bigger at some point

[faint ivy]

I'm in the wreck close to delta rn

[eternal garnet]

it's got 2. the medium size

[faint ivy]

Will go to the lilypad one after

Oh ok I'll keep looking then

[eternal garnet]

the stern / back end

[faint ivy]

Oh yeah found the second one

Bruh I took 2 air tanks with me but they empty both😑

Yooo most epic safe from a oxygen plant I somehow made it to my truck

[cobalt acorn]

I like how the air bladders replenish some air

Saved me from drowning once in sub 1

Does the snowfox drive over water?

[faint ivy]

Ooh I didn't equip my second tank after crafting it so it didn't fill🤦😂

Docking station recharges the trucks power cells?? That's awesome

[cobalt acorn]

Plasteel is 1 titanium ingot and 2 lithium right

[faint ivy]

Yeah

[cobalt acorn]

Imma need to build my base when i get home and i need mats

[cobalt acorn]

Alright thanks

I like how they made titanium ingots 5 titanium

Much easier

[faint ivy]

I'm struggling with enameled glass rn due to diamond shortage

[cobalt acorn]

Im not excited to go get diamonds

They seem rarer than stalker teeth in bz

I havent seen a single one

Maybe i havent gone deep enough? Are they in the deep twisty bridges

[faint ivy]

What's this ugly thing he's trying to attack me the whole time inside the garden I'm scared to go out 😭

[faint ivy]

I only found them cause my scanner room had found 4, and got 2 from monkeys

[marble pawn]

This ur first time playing subnatica?

All ima say is it gets alot worse than that my fellow

[faint ivy]

Basically yeah cause I played the first on switch but for like an hour and didn't like it cause I never saw anything because everything was dark as hell

[marble pawn]

U wanna see big scary girtha from subnatica 1?

[toxic ocean]

get out when it swims away, you can make it

[faint ivy]

I've seen videos

[faint ivy]

Yeah he lost interest on me I made it back to base with inventory full of clippings

[marble pawn]

🙂

Just so u know that the biggest creature in the game

[faint ivy]

😭

[marble pawn]

Jk

Its a mod

But is is in the vanilla game

Well sort of

Do u know what is under the giant ship

?

I wontnspoil

[faint ivy]

In the first one? Yeah ik I've met him while exploring the darkness ptsd😭😂

[marble pawn]

Thats him in the mouth of the giant 1

[faint ivy]

Daamn😭

[marble pawn]

And i think thats just a middle aged baby 1

[faint ivy]

Will I ever need so much, should I plant it?

[marble pawn]

Ye

U will if ur sea truck dies

Witch it probaly will with how much i crash the back of it

U on pc

U can play mutliplayer

[faint ivy]

Ps

[marble pawn]

I can join u if u want

[marble pawn]

Oh

Nice

[faint ivy]

Mp would be fire

[marble pawn]

They adding it in the next 1

[faint ivy]

Sad that it's only a mod on pc😢

[marble pawn]

Vannila

And it should be out around my bday

[faint ivy]

Yeah but only early access and they say it'll go 2-3 years... Early access also only on PC sadly

[marble pawn]

Not true

Its also on xbox

And i think ps if sony updates how they make there games

Bro u wanna play subnatica with me and vc on playstaion

Btw whenver u see a brige dont turn left

[faint ivy]

Sure I'm exploring and stuff

[marble pawn]

Be very slow

Idm u

[toxic ocean]

you have way more than enough, no need to plant it

maybe plant one just in case

[faint ivy]

Ok thanks

[cobalt acorn]

Will it be on gamepass ultimate

[eternal garnet]

fairly sure yes

[marble pawn]

Ye

[faint ivy]

@cobalt acorn u know where u meet alan? Go further down all packed with diamonds and lithium

[cobalt acorn]

The deep twisty bridges? Ok

I needa get my seamoth depth module firsy

[faint ivy]

Yeah that. But better have 2 tanks with u

[marble pawn]

U mean seatruck

[cobalt acorn]

Im still too used to sn1

[marble pawn]

Ye lol

[faint ivy]

Can all 4 parts of the prawn suit be found in the lilypad mercury 2? I've found 3 so far idk how I survived that😭😂

[toxic ocean]

no, that one only has 3 fragments
||koppa mining site|| has at least 4, and a free upgrade

[faint ivy]

Hmm that's somewhere beneath delta right

[plush moth]

and is safer...

[faint ivy]

Yeah I've got water clarification thingy nuclear reactor prawn drill arm and 3 parts for the suit and barely made it out although I have 2 ultra tanks. Those oxygen plants saved me like 3 times

Chinese potato

[clever marsh]

oh baby..

[faint ivy]

I have 6 reactor rods but can they only be obtained by finding or can you craft them later?

Also where are the best locations to establish scanner bases? Like a scanning room and a multipurpose room with 1 reactor that's all I wanna build but idk where I should put them for the endgame resources like kyonite

[toxic ocean]

you can craft them

[faint ivy]

Cool

[regal carbon]

It's a shame you cannot reuse depleted rods

[regal carbon]

If you want your scanner to detect kyonite, just build deep enough to ensure your scanner's range reaches the caves

[toxic ocean]

i hate how they give depleted rods to you
like what're you supposed to do

[regal carbon]

But tbh, assuming you have a vehicle (which is fair bet), you'll gather more kyanite on your way down the caves than you'll ever need

[regal carbon]

I assumed they had mechanics in mind and never went through

Like, if you let it decay all the way, your depleted rod should be full of lead

[faint ivy]

Pheew almost got me

Sooo what if I build a scanner base here is that good enough?

Oooh daaamn I discovered a huge shortcut to margerit

Oh no now a leviathan is close😭😭

I saw him🫪

Oh hello😭

Should I try scan him?

Almost had him😫

[regal carbon]

Depends, what do you want to scan for?

[faint ivy]

It was missing like 10% got to greedy😫

[regal carbon]

Also, if you're still discovering the map, huge tip (which is also valid if you know the map by heart): put beacons everywhere (shortcuts, recognizable spots, etc)

[faint ivy]

Haha nice got him. Thank god the scanning progress doesn't reset

Now I gotta find a way to get my kyanite back I see it falling but no way I'm going down there with the leviathan 😭

[faint ivy]

Yeah thanks I keep forgetting about beacons

How is one supposed to explore down there he's everywhere 😭

[regal carbon]

Get a Seatruck, it saves your inventory when you enter it, and the leviathan cannot attack you if you're inside (as long as you're not piloting)

[regal carbon]

There are three of them, actually

[faint ivy]

Down there?

[faint ivy]

I can't leave cockpit yet as I don't have any modules yet, only ones I've unlocked are fabricator and aquarium was searching for koppa but accidentally went into the leviathan cave

[regal carbon]

Yes, to ensure you're always in the path of one, as long as you're in the caves

[faint ivy]

Oh damn so no exploring 😫

[regal carbon]

If you're looking for the way out, follow the current

[faint ivy]

I was still at the very entrance of those caves😭

I entered in a cave system where the gardens are found some uranite explored further and was suddenly by margerit and then found this cave. Suddenly I have a leviathan in my face lol

[regal carbon]

Lore-wise, it's better than Marguerit in your face

[faint ivy]

Lmao

I'll have to find a way to explore down there though I saw some things but couldn't go deeper cause of leviathan

[cobalt acorn]

Where do i get lithium i just realized i havent seen a single piece of it yet

Is it in the deep twisty bridges with the diamonds

[flat valley]

Purple vents area has some

[cobalt acorn]

Amazing, thank you

[faint ivy]

Where I told u earlier u can combine with diamond farm

[cobalt acorn]

I need to have an established base and i want big rooms

Also where can i find the thermal plant fragments

[faint ivy]

Big room is on phi island

[cobalt acorn]

I ❤️ thermal energy

[faint ivy]

In caves beneath the gardens

[cobalt acorn]

Oh i already got them. I visited the old lady

[flat valley]

Purple vents area is peak for thermal

[regal carbon]

I wonder if there's an upper limit to how much energy your base can store

[cobalt acorn]

Im planning on building basically right next to delta island on the side facing the twisty bridges so the purple vents will be close

[flat valley]

Good base local

[toxic ocean]

No the best heat spots are in thermal spires, underground

[cobalt acorn]

I also heard there were some bugged lava spots that reach like 240°C near there too

Like underground

I wanna exploit those

[regal carbon]

Thought the maximum in-game was 85

[cobalt acorn]

I think a person named spicy mccrispy knows what they’re talking about when it comes to thermal energy

[toxic ocean]

Yeah that one is right beside delta

[faint ivy]

Hmm margerit says she's in her greenhouse 1km away from my position but where she was before that's only 560m away

[cobalt acorn]

Hence the “bugged.” Idk the validity of it tho, saw it on Reddit

[cobalt acorn]

Imma get on the game in a min and check it out

[faint ivy]

Hmm my bio reactor might be bugged cause it hasn't consumed any fuel for the last 9 play hours. Or is it because I'm on freedom mode?

[cobalt acorn]

Its a blessing from John Nautica

Sacrifice peepers in his name as an offering

[regal carbon]

Do you have other energy sources?

Besides, it depends on what you put in it

Put a glow whale in it, it'll take a while before it's consumed

[toxic ocean]

Power sources are consumed in order

If you built your bioreactor second then it won’t be used until your first one is depleted

[faint ivy]

I have 2 solar panels and 2 bioreactors

[faint ivy]

So 2 solar panels is enough to charge my batteries and fuel cells and run a truck docking station ?

[faint ivy]

I have it full with root pustules or how they're called. Those yellow thingies

[toxic ocean]

I guess so

If you get the water filtration machine, solar panels won’t cut it since they don’t work during nighttime

[regal carbon]

If you put many of them, they won't deplete fast enough to cause an interruption

[faint ivy]

I only had the solar panels as my first power when I only had a fabricator but got the bioreactor pretty fast. I'm staying with bio in my main base for now though as I want to put the nuclear in my secondary and third bases

[regal carbon]

I should put more solar panels on my base, but the roof is hard to reach and I get hypothermia by the time I parkour to it

[lean goblet]

okay so

how do i put these all together :(

the prawn suit, the prawn suit docking module, and the seatruck

[regal carbon]

I'm afraid there's only one working configuration

[lean goblet]

okay

but how does it work

also, does the prawn suit keep you warm if you go onto land

[regal carbon]

The prawn suit docks to the prawn suit docking module, and the modules docks to the seatruck, any order works

[regal carbon]

If you're inside it, yes

[lean goblet]

nice

thank you

[regal carbon]

The prawn suit makes land too easy, tbh

You can move fast enough to confuse the game

[toxic ocean]

Grab the handlebar on top of the dock module to attach it to the truck

The you can dock the prawn onto it

[regal carbon]

Even moving iceberg to iceberg is like playing Spider-Man

[lean goblet]

AHA I DID IT

well mine doesn't have any upgrades yet

so it won't be as easy

[regal carbon]

Ah, you need the grapple to get some real speed, of course

[terse raft]

does anyone do parlays

[cobalt acorn]

Where is the rebreather im getting rlly annoyed by the oxygen efficiency thing

[cobalt acorn]

Oh nevermind i literally just found it

[faint ivy]

Is headlamp a replacement for rebreather or is it a "mod"?

Cause if replacement it's useless

[empty chasm]

I just started below zero, do you “beat” below zero or is it endless game play

[wind crown]

there is an ending

[empty chasm]

Sorry for the dumb question ✋

[regal carbon]

Like Subnautica, there's an ending, but you can reload your last save

[toxic ocean]

it takes up the same slot as the rebreather, so yeah it's useless

[faint ivy]

Damn😑 what's best arms for prawn, grapple and mining?

[toxic ocean]

it's weird, i'm actually gonna say grapple and standard hand, since there's fewer large resources
keep your drill arm in your prawn storage if you ever need to use it

[faint ivy]

Ok thanks

[cobalt acorn]

For my seatruck should i do 2 storage modules or 1 fabricator 1 storage

[toxic ocean]

depends on how often you use the fabricator module
like if you use it to cook food on the go, then keep it

[cobalt acorn]

Well i havent really used any module yet

Im asking which i should make as my first

Im thinking storage + fab for the variety

How much storage space does the fabricator module have? Ik it has some but idk how much

[next current]

Been a while since I played but I think it's 18 slots.

[toxic ocean]

fabricator has a 12 slot locker i think

[cobalt acorn]

Awesome, thanks guys

[next current]

It is 12 slots. My bad.

[faint ivy]

Where'd you find the storage parts? I'm always finding aquarium like wtf I want a driving aquarium for😭

[cobalt acorn]

I found storage and fabricator in the deep twisty bridges

[regal carbon]

I wish there was a way to store unused seadock modules

I built another seatruck just for modules I don't use

[faint ivy]

Mhm ok I'll check it out tomorrow thanks

Got the fabricator but as I'm playing on freedom I don't really need it

I wish u could just put storage lockers inside some module cause 3 is the max I want to put but one of them has to be docking station

[cobalt acorn]

Theoretically can i hatch lots of sea monkeys and put them in a containment area so they can give me stuff for my pinned ingredients

[cobalt acorn]

Yeah but that would be pretty broken. Would be easy to abuse

[toxic ocean]

you'd have to release them to recieve stuff but yeah

[faint ivy]

I think u can only hatch them inside the big round aquarium so they won't be able to bring nothing

[cobalt acorn]

Yeah i understand

By containment i meant like a place enclosed by modules and shi

[faint ivy]

There's lots of monkeys around the twisty bridge area and also tons in the lilypad area where all the nests are

[cobalt acorn]

Like one of those reaper cages you can see in sub 1

[faint ivy]

Are the caves with the 3 leviathans the only location where u can find kyonite?

[toxic ocean]

kyanite is only in ||crystal caves|| yeah

[faint ivy]

Damn I'll have to kill them with my knife then if I want to explore those😔 time to find some cheesy spot lol

Or I drive against them works good with other creatures😂

[cobalt acorn]

What are the best seatruck mods? Obviously depth module is a must, but what about the other 3?

I found a perimeter defense mod

Ive also heard of a horsepower and a boost upgrade, those seem useful

[faint ivy]

Oh horsepower is a upgrade I thought it's a module lol. Yeah those 4 then I'd say. Currently I use depth mk3 and defense as those are the only ones I got so far

I don't think they stack

Well I just found out u can shock the leviathan with the defense upgrade u just have to somehow select it in the hotbar I thought it gives u more hull strenght🤦

Prawn suit with drill and grappling seems to best best to kill them. Tomorrow I'll be on the hunt just need one more part of the grappling arm

[regal carbon]

Don't kill them, the game feels empty afterwards

[faint ivy]

Kill or be killed🤷 then I can explore finally

I have lots of hostile creature eggs can I put them all together inside a multiple stacked alien containment or do they kill each other? Got crashfish, eye jelly, arctic ray, brute shark, cryptosuchus, sea monkey and smth else so far

And lilly paddler

[toxic ocean]

The truck only has 4 upgrades you can build, so no need to choose between any

Same with prawn

[half owl]

People ,i have a pengling in my inventory sooo much time
He can die?

Or is imortal?

[cobalt acorn]

Can i stack regular and large multipurpose rooms?

Doesnt look like it

Im tryna build on the delta docks but its lowk looking kinda booty rn

Ive got a large room wedged between the 2 dock things

[regal carbon]

I have literally all possible creatures in a 9-level-high alien containment, and none killed each other

[steel stream]

I've heard that rock punchers would eat rockgrubs even in containment 🤷‍♂️

[cobalt acorn]

Guys are there any good base spots near delta island

[toxic ocean]

i mean i just built it slightly southeast of the dock
the purple vents are pretty flat

[cobalt acorn]

True

Im tryna build a little portion on land tho and im not finding any good spot for that and its ticking me off

[signal elk]

While it's not terribly close, it's not the furthest, but I built a base by the vent garden coming off the cliff wall and using the thermal underneath. Having a leviathan for a neighour is fun. And still plenty of room

[hollow mountain]

I need to see if I can build a base inside the ventgarden next time I play

[faint ivy]

Ok cool

[drifting crag]

I just got the prawn suit and colored it, but why are only the arms colored?? It's super ugly now

[primal shard]

nybody know where to find the nuclear reactor? also the Seatruck Dock? ive been looking for it for a long time now

[toxic ocean]

Bug. Save and reload to fix it

[drifting crag]

okay, lemme try that

[drifting crag]

I'm pretty sure the seatruck dock comes with the standard stuff, so you don't have to scan it

[primal shard]

i cnt find it . ive seen videos tht it comes with the moonpool but i dont have it on my blue prints

[toxic ocean]

||omega lab|| for nuclear reactor
||koppa mining site|| or ||marguerit’s base|| for moonpool

If you get the moonpool, you have the seatruck dock blueprint too

[drifting crag]

I just searched google and it says it comes with moonpool

[primal shard]

i hve the moonpool but i dont have the seatruck dock. thts weird

[drifting crag]

Since when is there a moonpool at ||koppa mining site||?

[drifting crag]

thats weird

[drifting crag]

prawn is colored now, thanks!

[primal shard]

its true though. i found moonpool at the mining site thing where the prawn suit

[drifting crag]

Eh idk ive explored the whole thing I'm pretty sure but it was a while ago

[primal shard]

but the dock is literally missing lol

[drifting crag]

Is it in a databox?

[primal shard]

its not. ive gotten the data box and moonpool. but no dock.

[drifting crag]

Maybe your game is glitched, try asking google

[primal shard]

ill try tysm

[drifting crag]

I'm sorry I can't help (I haven't beaten the game yet either)

[primal shard]

its fine. thnk you for trying your best

[steel stream]

There is a databox for the blueprint

[drifting crag]

Oh alright, must've missed it because I already scanned it at ||Marguerit's base||

[primal shard]

am i weird for focusing building my base instead of doing the storyline?

[cloud shell]

To progress story one must have nice base

[dusky terrace]

The great thing about these games is that you can just do whatever the ocean you want

I crammed storage with all kinds of materials, just for the fun of exploring with the prawn

[stoic surge]

I started playing BZ on my Switch 1 and soon found that large bases caused the frame rate to drop faster than giraffe babies ... so, small but functional was the best

[ripe pendant]

Where is the bug report bot

[primal shard]

how to stack the big rooms? im so confused

[toxic ocean]

Build them so they’re combined

Then connect them inside with a ladder

[primal shard]

wait . so i need to be inside the first room then build above me? right? not outside and place it on top?

[hollow mountain]

It works from outside

Do you have a glass roof built by any chance? It doesnt work with that

[primal shard]

i dont. its just the regular large room. cuz i just started

[primal shard]

tysm. so it just stacks if i try to build it above

[hollow mountain]

Yeah it should

[primal shard]

okay then. thank you!

[fluid flame]

gg

[gentle forge]

No, you’re just chill fr

[teal flint]

Building outposts was always my thing, though it isnt as needed in below zero except when concerning the cold.

[pliant swan]

i need to look for these. what should i do and where should i go?

[toxic ocean]

scan artifacts to get hints on their locations
||alan|| will tell you where some artifacts are, but you'll have to search for some things yourself

[pliant swan]

ok thanks

[fluid flame]

||alan|| tells you when you approach the area where they're located and even straight up gives you the location of one of them. All 3 are in different places, if you just explore the map you should come across them eventually

[fluid flame]

^

[regal carbon]

If you build your moonpool like this right above your seatruck dock, and you have the right number of modules, you can automatically dock your prawn suit when you exit the moonpool

[faint ivy]

Does the game save when you die? Or could I leave without saving and then "reset" to before I died?

[eternal garnet]

Mobile may be different, but base game never autosaves. You save manually. Often

[hollow thunder]

Go on to agartha

[regal carbon]

Nope (unless you play hardcore, since it deletes your save, so it technically saves)

[faint ivy]

Ok thanks

[tall hollow]

That base is sick what

[faint ivy]

I saw someone have a yellow prawn I want it red but I can only make it white grey or black😢

I named him larry

Ooh found it

[regal carbon]

That's only a small part, but I'll post a video when it's done, should be fairly soon

[faint ivy]

Nessie and Larry😆

[faint ivy]

Is there a building limit?

[lean goblet]

wth

i crashed into my prawn suit docking station with my seatruck ONCE, it was at 100% HP, and now it's gone, did i smash it into oblivion??

just from one crash with my seatruck?? 😭

[faint ivy]

Base in progress

[toxic ocean]

Probably yeah

Happened to me once too

[faint ivy]

If there's no building limit I'll expand my base deeper into the twisty bridges and over to tree spires although that'll require a quite long connection

Maybe even connect it with lily pad islands

[lean goblet]

wait. my base is filling with water how do i stop it

i built so many bulkheads

nvm got itttt

[faint ivy]

Hmm google says no building limit except possible fps drops and lag if I make a huge base. Now I wonder would there be enough resources to make such a huge map that basically stretches over the entire map?

[cobalt acorn]

There isnt a building limit. Ive seen people make bases that connect to every single biome. It gets really laggy tho

Man im trying to find a good spot at delta island i can build but this layout and terrain is making me mad

I want a base that’s partially above water and partially below but im beginning to think that wont be happening

Atleast at delta island

[humble dune]

That quality 🔥

[regal carbon]

I'm building a small alien containment just to feed a bioreactor, which species deserve to be fuel the baddest?

The Brinewings are a notorious nuisance, that would be my first pick

[toxic ocean]

cryptosuchus
but they're pretty big

[regal carbon]

Not a problem if only one fits at once

[faint ivy]

I'm around 300m away from delta. Search for the cage thingy which has a cable hanging down with electricity. I'm around that area

[cobalt acorn]

Cage thingy?

Also which direction away from delta?

[faint ivy]

North-north west I believe not sure rn as I'm not on it's 4am going to sleep in a bit

[cobalt acorn]

I might have found a nice place on delta actually

Am i able to move pengwings away without a propulsion or repulsion cannon? Theyre getting in my way.

[faint ivy]

Idk I'm not into on land building tbh.

[cobalt acorn]

Oh my god these things hit hard

Will these rock puncher dudes attack my base

[faint ivy]

I don't think that creatures attack bases otherwise people wouldn't build bases in places like ||crystal caves||

[cobalt acorn]

True i forgot creatures dont attack bases

But like do they do anything that can damage it? Like how ampeels electricity can mess with your stufd

[toxic ocean]

rock punchers don't attack unless provoked so i think you're fine?

[cobalt acorn]

Actually so annoying

[cobalt acorn]

Speaking of annoying, why cant i build anywhere near the floor on this stupid island

[faint ivy]

Idk weather and fog in particular makes on land building very unattractive for me so I didn't try

How big is the map? How many scanner would I need to cover the whole map? Are || crystal caves|| the deepest spot? Prawn suit can go down to 1100m but I haven't found anything over 600-650 yet I think but I also didn't explore || crystal caves|| further only scanned the shadow leviathan and grabbed some kyanite and left I need to find some resource for benzene so I can craft the grappling arm then I go on the hunt for them

[cobalt acorn]

Dude i keep tripping over these penguin corpses

[steel stream]

Iirc the best biofuel value would be arctic peeper...

[cobalt acorn]

My delta island base is kinda coming together decently nicely

Where are some good places for quartz

I need lots cus i want lots of glass for my surface portion

[faint ivy]

Everywhere around twisty bridges. Get a scanner room it makes life sooooooo much easier

[faint ivy]

Also HOW do u DARE

[cobalt acorn]

That actually kinda leads into my next question

(Spoilers kinda, image is a map) what would the maxxed scanner room range be from that black dot on delta island? Im building my base there and imma have a scanner so i need to know

[faint ivy]

Hmm idk how big the map is as I asked earlier how many scanner rooms would be required to cover it whole but I have it with 4 range upgrades and it goes 500m which also scans parts of thermal, purple and tree

Like idk how many km big it is from one end to the other

[cobalt acorn]

Are you familiar with the first games size?

I can try to find exact numbers

But this is a decent comparison

[faint ivy]

Nope I've played for around 1-2 hours and stopped because I didn't like the dark and explored to far behind the aurora if u know.... ☠️😂

I can scan for everything except uran kyanite , nickel ruby and smth else I'm forgetting rn but I'd say don't build the scanner room on the island itself go somewhere in the water. Maybe build 2

[cobalt acorn]

Im just glad i finally have an established base. Now i can finally charge my stuff

[cobalt acorn]

Im getting really ticked off with this placement

Im tryna find a spot for my scanner and control rooms and i cant find good ones

[past urchin]

He's just waiting for Round 3, lol

[ember holly]

well yeah but half of the map int he og subnautica is the spaceship

or likeone third

[steel stream]

One tenth maybe...or even less

[hollow mountain]

Way less

[faint ivy]

No clue how I'm gonna scan this one, got the normal one scanned but he's way smaller lol

Barely got shadow leviathan scanned

[past urchin]

Not sure either, lol

[cobalt acorn]

How deep is koppa mining site? I wanna get thermal plant fragments

[stoic surge]

It should be doable, as long as you have a good air tank, and the rebreather will help alot

[cobalt acorn]

I have high cap tank, rebreather, and a seatruck with depth module mk1 that lets me go down 300 meters

Whats the approx depth of koppa?

Also where can i get lots of magnetite

[toxic ocean]

||Inside a certain iceberg in the east arctic||

The pda will tell you when you’re close to it

Has loads of gold, diamond, and magnetite

[cloud shell]

Pretty sure it's west no?

Your on about the one under phi or?

[toxic ocean]

I found it on the way to ||marguerit’s greenhouse||, that should be east

[cloud shell]

Ohh okay

I didn't know there was a second spot for magnetite

[toxic ocean]

There is a spot in the west arctic too but I don’t remember exactly how much magnetite was there

[faint ivy]

Entrance is ab9ut 150 but it goes down to 300-400 iirc

[cobalt acorn]

Oh that works out great then

I can park at 290 with my truck and come back up as needed

[faint ivy]

Lithium way more important then magnetite I had around 10-15 magnetite and still didn't run out. Even lead feels more important

[faint ivy]

It goes down inside the koppa mining side you can only enter the site with ur truck if you go through the lava tunnels

But not through the official entrance

[steel stream]

Koppa mining site has enough oxygen plants to explore it with rebreather and high capacity tank

(Leaving the truck on the doors)

(And technically it's possible to wiggle seatruck through the doors, but it's not intended to fit...)

[ancient kelp]

Yeah and if you can't get it back out, say bye bye to seatruck

[faint ivy]

As I said you can go through the lava tunnels so there's a legit way in and out with your seatruck

[ancient kelp]

Oh, didn't know that. Only played once so I haven't exactly learned the maze of the underneath tunnels everywhere...

[stoic surge]

I remember it being a tight fit tho

[cobalt acorn]

Idk what these lava tunnels are, ill just park my truck at the official entrance and go down without

[tacit thorn]

It is possible to get into koppa mine with seatruck without modules, but, you need to do some fiddling at the entrance and need a depth upgrade (inside is below 150m)
By fiddling, I mean approach the top of the opening with your rear left corner, get one thruster past the door, then try squeezing in by turning left. Takes like half minute, but should be able to get in. same routine on way out.

[regal carbon]

Lava tunnels? Where?

(I mean, every rock tunnel used to be lava, but then, any non-ice tunnel is a lava tunnel)

[past urchin]

Well, this took forever, lol

[latent adder]

I didn’t have the patience to slay the centipede, but I did punch it whenever it grabbed my prawn suit

Not scary, just annoying

[past urchin]

Same, but with the drill and punch

[faint ivy]

Drill and grappling you can kill it in under 2 minutes

[past urchin]

Tried that with the Sea Dragon and got stuck on cliff parts a lot

[past urchin]

Fighting one of them in the Fabricator caves and he proceeds to get stuck in the wall, lol

[cobalt acorn]

I dont like how we cant get water from lanternfruit

I keep getting extremely dehydrated because i cant find ANY bladderfish

[past urchin]

Build a few of the water filtration systems, you'll get a lot of salt, but you won't go low on water, lol

[toxic ocean]

You know you can just keep the salt/water in the filter machine to save power too

I only take salt out when I need it, same with the water

[past urchin]

[regal carbon]

I have two problems remaining with my base

1. I cannot enter my seatrucks. I can build a new one, but the ones that are docked, I cannot interact with them, so I cannot remove the docks either

2. The control room has a height limit, which prevents me from turning the lights off in some parts of my base

[cobalt acorn]

Ik but i havent established good power in my base yet

I have 4 solar panels that will NOT support water filtrations

Speaking of power, how do i get lots of magnetite? I need 5 for scanner room stuff and lots more for thermal plants

Also i need nickel and kyanite

[regal carbon]

I figured out the fix for that

[cobalt acorn]

You have to be kidding me are you fr

[cobalt acorn]

Also what fix

I would like to know

[regal carbon]

My base has a height of about 270 metres, and the control room seems to be stuck around 200 metres

[cobalt acorn]

Oh thats way higher than my base gets

Had me worried for a sec

How did you fix it?

[regal carbon]

The fix is the control room: I always turn off power in rooms I don't need power in, but sometimes turning off the power in a room also affects the rooms nearby, and for some reason, that's what prevented me from using my seatrucks

So now I'm gonna delete my docks and rebuild them further away

[cobalt acorn]

You can turn power off in rooms? Does that disable everything in the room?

[regal carbon]

It disables anything that requires energy, and it turns off the light

[cobalt acorn]

Ive never used the control station (im in the process of getting mats to build one rn)

[toxic ocean]

control room is cool

[regal carbon]

Until you hit the height limit

[toxic ocean]

i mean the color change

[cobalt acorn]

For the color change, can you change specific base pieces colors, or is it just the whole entire base?

Im built at delta island, i have 3 multipurpose rooms on land, and the rest are underwater in the thermal vents

I want the abovewater parts to stay white to reflect the snow of the island, and i want the underwater to match the colors of the thermal vents

[toxic ocean]

nah it just changes the whole base

[cobalt acorn]

Unfortunate

I might just change everything to a shade of gray to kinda reach a happy medium

What edible plants are at maidas greenhouse? I wanna start farming

[toxic ocean]

marblemelon and chinese potato are there
also horseshoe shrub and preston's plant
on the iceberg there are pepper plants, those are really good too

[cobalt acorn]

No bulbo trees?

That sucks, they were my favorite

Ik marblemelons are better for food and water but i liked the bulbos

[toxic ocean]

imo pepper clears in bz
vegetable balancing was way off in this game

[past urchin]

Get the free nuclear power rods from the Mercury crash and build a Nuclear power plant in ya base, a lot of power right there

[cobalt acorn]

Ive got the rods from the stern and the thrusters but im not going nuclear

I prefer thermal

Just plop it down and forget about it

Plus im built right on top of like 4 lava geysers

And theres a 5th nearby

[past urchin]

Lol, Aight

[arctic gulch]

should i get below zero tomorrow

i have base already

[stoic surge]

If you enjoyed the OG, you will probably enjoy BZ also

[arctic gulch]

ty

i looking forward to sea truck

[stoic surge]

I'm quite a fan of it, pretty much the perfect vehicle for sector zero

[arctic gulch]

no cyclops tho

smaller map

also do the sea vehicles spawn in the floating vehicler spawner still

[stoic surge]

If you mean the mobile vehicle bay, yes, it's still the way to build

[arctic gulch]

how about the land

[stoic surge]

There's a land vehicle, it's built with its onw platform, which is also used for recharging, repairing and customizing

[arctic gulch]

how do u make that plsyform

[stoic surge]

With the builder tool, on land

[arctic gulch]

thanks

[stoic surge]

👍

[tall acorn]

I wonder if there were any theories that Ryely was son of Robin (just because of ryleys lastname)

[sacred prairie]

Hello

[arctic gulch]

what are the best attachments to the sea truck

[regal carbon]

My base has 13400 units of energy now, I think I might have overdone it

[cedar bloom]

storage module, docking module, horse power module and perosnally I like to put the fabricator module in there

[arctic gulch]

prawn suit is good too right

[cedar bloom]

yes

just make sure you have the grappling arm and the drill arm

[arctic gulch]

aw the reaper is gone from bz

brooo how do i survive without the statis rifle

[cedar bloom]

yeah

trust its easy so far

[arctic gulch]

what weapons are there then

[cedar bloom]

the knife

annnndddd

the knife

[marsh loom]

anyone playing atm trying to chill in a vc while playing

[cobalt acorn]

Do you unlock that once you unlock the snowfox? I havent fully scanned it yet

[faint ivy]

Horse power is upgrade not module

[rapid grove]

[cedar bloom]

on mine its a module

[faint ivy]

I also play ps how's yours a different game?

[cedar bloom]

idk

[faint ivy]

Can you not scan the ||ice worm||?

[bold monolith]

You can scan a dead one.

Near the ||alien cache||.

[faint ivy]

Oh ok thanks

Ok don't try to kill him with ur prawn🫪😑

I was at full health before going at him idk how he damaged me so much does he have heat aoe dmg? ☠️

[bold monolith]

Each tick will remove 25%. Also he is immortal.

Because it isn't exactly the same as the other creatures, it is spawned and despawned all the time.

[short obsidian]

You can’t kill them lol there’s a dead body you can find

[faint ivy]

Oh lol

[stoic surge]

Scan 3 snowfox frags to unlock it, scan the platform to unlock that

[cobalt acorn]

Wheres the platform? Phi robotics?

Or whatever the place to the west of delta is

[next current]

Yes.

[cobalt acorn]

Thanks

Man i really dislike being in the dark for so much in this game, i prefer being able to know where to find all the resources and fragments

Like where do i get magnetite bruh

Boutta swim over to the crater to visit the jellyshrooms cus i CANNOT find it here

[bold monolith]

It's your game, you play with the wiki if you want.

Even if it isn't the intended way.

(~~You also can use my awesome map there: https://ignis.errorfm.com/subnautica_map/?game=bz~~)

[north kraken]

Anyone know a good spot to find copper because I can't find it anywhere and the outcrops just give me titanium. I tried the mineshaft but its too deep for my oxygen tank.

[bold monolith]

Find more outcrops, you have a few veins, but the time you find them you would already have what you need with the limestone.

[north kraken]

Do veins in the Glacial basin respawn?

[bold monolith]

No.

[north kraken]

Alright.

There was a volcano near the icebergs I think I can get to with my seatruck.

I will see if there is something there.

[toxic ocean]

there are a few veins in the twisty bridges that have copper
located in caves

[regal carbon]

I rebuilt my energy distribution in my base (unbuilt/rebuilt bioreactors and nuclear reactors so they're used last), but the thermal reactors seem bugged, even though they were rebuilt to be the first energy source, they seem to load last, and as a result they're literally never used

[toxic ocean]

yeah i have that issue too
that's why i don't use thermal much

[regal carbon]

I guess I'm building a couple dozens of solar panels and rebuilding my reactors afterwards again

[toxic ocean]

i just used nuclear in the endgame
with the rate my power drains, it shouldn't run out anytime soon for me
it takes a lot to use up a reactor rod

[bold monolith]

The priority is arbitrary after each load. With the exception of things behind power transmitter being loaded last.

So the build order is meaningless.

[toxic ocean]

in below zero i feel like the order works, except for thermal/power transmitter

sn1 had the random order thing

[bold monolith]

Same code though.

I doubt it is really the case.

There is a mod for SN1, maybe it exists too for BZ.

[toxic ocean]

my base in bz always draws from my nuclear reactor first

[regal carbon]

I added floodlights everywhere so the amount of renewable energy produced matches almost exactly the rate at which it's consumed (accounting for the loss of power at night), but the thermal reactors not being used means my calculations are off

[cobalt acorn]

Even with all of this info i still prefer thermal

I just like to put it down and not worry about it ever again.

I have a bunch of lava geysers below my base, another lava geyser below the delta docks, and i can always build thermal generators on the thermal vents and purple vents

[tropic scroll]

Yeah thermal is nice since it's just "Set and Forget"

[cobalt acorn]

I mean finding all of the magnetite for it will be a PAIN but i feel it will be worth it

But before i do that im gonna want to find the reinforced dive suit

That plus the big alien containment are in the ||mercury bow in the lillipads|| right?

[eternal pendant]

Mercury?

I thought planet was 4546b

[indigo jetty]

||its the name of a ship that crashed into 4546b before the player||

[eternal pendant]

Mongolia

[regal carbon]

Thermal works fine if you only have thermal

[cobalt acorn]

I mean i was planning on having 750 solar as well in case thermal got messed up, but honestly i might just scrap the solar once i get my thermal in place

I looked it up and apparently i can find magnetite in spy pengling caves. Where can i find fragments for the pengling? I got one but idr where

[regal carbon]

If you want magnetite, you can find plenty in crystal caves

I know because I always accidentally pick it up while looking for lead, despite knowing very well that there's no lead in those caves

[cobalt acorn]

I cant reach those depths yet

[regal carbon]

Lead and quartz are the two things I'm always missing 🙁

[cobalt acorn]

Sameee i needed sm quartz for my build

Still do actually

Glass builds are hella annoying

But the views are immaculate

[regal carbon]

My base is almost entirely made of glass, and I put floodlights and light stick everywhere, so I always need more

And nuclear rods require glass too

[cobalt acorn]

For now i might just beg from sea monkeys. Thats how i got my first magnetite

Pinned the scanner room hud i think, needs a computer chip and magnetite

They can’t give me crafted components so they should just give me magnetite

[feral parcel]

have not found this guy yet

[faint ivy]

It's annoying as hell trying to get truck modules into koppa

Need TOOONS of titanium so wanna go in but idk if I can get my prawn out if I go down with it

[toxic ocean]

prawn can go in relatively easily

[faint ivy]

Yeah ik but idk about out...

[toxic ocean]

same thing

[faint ivy]

Cooper and silver both are more then you'll ever need on phi island

[faint ivy]

Ok cool I was worried as it's a relatively big drop down

[regal carbon]

I mean, it can, but not by the main entrance, which is conveniently large enough to make you think you can

[toxic ocean]

the drop has parts you can stand on to recharge jets

[toxic ocean]

the prawn can go through the door much easier than the truck

[regal carbon]

Are we talking about the same entrance?

[toxic ocean]

the front door

you need to jump i think

[regal carbon]

I've never managed to enter that way

Maybe I'll try sideways

[faint ivy]

Prawn can go through main entrance without any problems

[faint ivy]

Nah just walk through

I went in and out 3 times no problem with the prawn

I mean they want you to go there with the prawn...

[faint ivy]

New main base in progress

Gotta go farm some quartz though

[cobalt acorn]

How much nickel and kyanite do i need in total for all of the depth module upgrades

I dont have any prawn depth modules and only mk1 seatruck

[dull ingot]

Guys i found squidshark, is it dangerous?

[toxic ocean]

approach it to find out (it bites)

[faint ivy]

I'm a km away from my beginning base and just logged off so can't tell you 100% sure rn but I think around 4 kyanite and 5 nickel

Tomorrow night I'll continue it just swallows resources 😩

Quartz and titanium primarily

Went with 2 modules full of titanium and whole inventory full of glass and it's all gone already 😂

And I want to make 2 4 high towers with alien retainment I need so much glass lol

[cobalt acorn]

Man im not excited about getting this kyanite

I havent built my ultra high cap tank so i just have a high cap and air bladder

Gotta keep running back to margs base for air

[faint ivy]

I went down with my truck but I also had the ultra you should really build it asap

[cobalt acorn]

I know

Ive been out on a huge expedition, i havent had the chance to go back home. ||i went to Margs greenhouse to get blueprints and plants, then the body cache to get alans body recipe, then the mercury bow to get blueprints. Now im at maidas base to get kyanite and nickel. I scanned the high cap stuff just before this||

I got one kyanite but i have no idea where to get nickel

[faint ivy]

I've mostly found it down there also although not too much as I wasn't actively farming it but it looks similar to copper so u gotta really watch out

For kyanite, the further you go into the ||crystal caves|| the more spawns but be careful

And when you're there also take some uranite with u

[regal carbon]

More annoying than dangerous, because it keeps disabling your vehicles

[cobalt acorn]

Yeah ik abt the leviathan

Ive got 4 kyanite now, boutta try and grab a few more

[faint ivy]

It's 2

[cobalt acorn]

Ive got a few full and spent fuel rods from the mercury parts, but im not using nuclear

[cobalt acorn]

Yeah 2, i just meant the species in general

[faint ivy]

In my new base I've put 2 nuclear reactors used 6 fuel I had from mercury wrecks and it instantly went up to 5k power and it looks like it lasts quite some time

[cobalt acorn]

Yeah i know but i prefer thermal

Plus in my base location i have access to lots of lava vents

[cobalt acorn]

Ok i didnt realize one of them were that high up, wow

Barely survived

[faint ivy]

Yeah I have a base around in the same location but it's not worth it staying around there anymore I just go to that base when I need basic materials like quartz lead or titanium but it's almost empty

[faint ivy]

Yeah he surprised me also the other day, got to greedy while scanning and got eaten 😂

[cobalt acorn]

I got 4 kyanite and like 9 nickel that should be enough for all the depth modules

[toxic ocean]

Mineral detector, in the lilypad cave you used to reach ||maida’s base||

[cobalt acorn]

Too late im already out

Found some in the caves where the ||body cache|| is

Good to know for next time tho, thanks

Highkey forgot the mineral detector existed

[faint ivy]

I don't use it because it takes an inventory slot away I just use scanner room when I need smth

[regal carbon]

I left my quantum locker somewhere and I can't figure out where

I don't want to waste an advanced wiring kit to build another one

[faint ivy]

Can || ion batteries and ion powercells || be recharged at the normal recharge stations?

[regal carbon]

Yes

[faint ivy]

Ok cool

[toxic ocean]

mineral detector came in clutch

[faint ivy]

Scanner room much more chill but yeah detector can be good

[cobalt acorn]

Ive FINALLY started farming

Now ive got all the plants i want

Marg ftw with the plants

Me ftw too cus i found a lot of useful plants out and about

[faint ivy]

Niice I kinda regret having started in freedom mode as I don't have to plant anything but I want to have gardens😢😂

[fleet stone]

Is there a location to find sleeper module fragments that isn’t right next to a chelicerate? Ordinarily I’d be fine with it but I don’t feel like dealing with a giant shrimp right now

[cobalt acorn]

Its in the purple vents

[cobalt acorn]

My seatruck was docked, but then it un docked itself and clipped into my modules????

Wtf happened

I really hope i have my most recent save is from before this happened

[cobalt acorn]

Dammit

[cobalt acorn]

My seatruck is just stuck there
