Bro my only “fix” is to destroy my seatruck and the module that was clipping inside of it (fabricator in my case)
At least i was able to take out my upgrades from my seatruck.
I gotta destroy the truck cus it just wont move and it wont let me in, and i gotta destroy the module because it wont exit the docking bay
When i destroy the module the debris stays stuck in my docking tube and wont despawn. When i try to delete the tube it wont let me
Guys how do i fix this
I cant reload saves
Guys does anyone know how long it takes for a destroyed seatruck module to despawn? Ive looked it up but google keeps giving me completely unrelated searches
Have you tried moving away from your base and then returning?
i have below zero
Is below zero worth it
What do you want out of it?
Yes
Around 350 meters
Twice actually
Ill try again (i quit without saving so everything’s back the way it was) and ill go further
probably not
lowkey got bored because of the slow ahh vehicles and player
and i cant tell the difference between the leviathan class stuff
Oh damn
good plot tho
I say yes
I lowk kinda prefer the first but bz has also been very fun
If you enjoyed 1 you will enjoy BZ
One idea: can you move the pieces with propulsion cannon?
I have no idea, i havent fully scanned it yet
I might have gotten prawn propulsion arm i could try making that and using it
Ill try that tomorrow
Thanks
snowfox is not fun bro it always hits the ground if its not flat
It received an update a few months ago, it's much better now
Nuh uh
Anyone else think the ice worm got downgraded like before its update their was a debug area that showcased all actions it does but nowadays all it does is eat snow stalkers or do the swipe thing
Some of them were pretty cool like the one where it digs towards you from a cave or something
It still does that
Of all my time of playing it I've never seen it do that normally.
It has a bunch of attacks. Not as many as originally planned, but it has a wide variety, from jumpscares, the underground attacks, and huge leaps
The seatruck dock is a life saver
It's really useful. I like how you can enter the modules from your base
Yeah when I first played the game I did not even know that existed even though I was on the version it was added then I knew it when I opened the habitat builder
no idea how high i am XD
thunderbirds fan in this economy
Yes
I havent played my below zero save in like 9 monthes I have no idea what stage of my playthrough im at or where I need to go any pointers?
this was the most recent important PDA log in there
sorry I just deleted it there so I could spoiler it
You have 2 of the parts for AL-ANs vessel. Which ones do you have? (They are at the bottom of the blueprints.
let me check, im booting it up again
If you scan more of the artifacts around the map AL-AN will give you a final hint about the location of the organs. If you need a better hint:|| Look inside the caves at the purple vents, there will be an entrance to a deeper biome.||
I see, thanks for the hint :D
No problem and good luck.
Does anyone know why I can't post this here?
Is there anything above that is blocking it?
Nop
What is up there?
Nothing
Like what does the room above look like?
Its a big room above the big room but i cant put this
Do you have reinforcements on the wall above?
The big romm above is absolute empty
Im going to save ,exit and back to the game ,then i tell what
I assume the other rotations also don't work?
Em no
I see
Dont work
😭
In other posicions in the room also doesnt work
Do you have any unfinished constructions in the base? Finish or decraft them and try again.
So i have so windows but theyre in the other side of the room
I’m strugling to find the second oxygen tank in below zero Any tips?
Are the windows fully built?
If ones only partly constructed, you cant build any other base pieces that need to be snapped on
Check twisty bridges canyon (where brute sharks live)
Took me a few seconds to figure out why there was a big tennis ball right next to my base
is it just me I just finished subnautica and I am now doing below zero it feels so disorientating
not like the gameplay like the graphics and lighting, its giving me a headache
Welcome to the arctic I guess. You will get used to it soon.

I think its the motion blur
Possibly.
whatever it is it feels very different
Most of Below Zero has blue lighting so yeah.
I’ve just started my below zero run, does anyone have any tips/advice
Get some table coral whenever you find some, it's rarer than in the first game
For the rest of advice, it depends on whether you played the first game
Build a scanner and scan all the things
Grab all the supplies at the place the pod crashed. There should be 4x Flares, 2x Nutrient blocks and 2x Water.
can you build an exosuit/prawnsuit in bz
Yes
k thanks
hey friend this is an english only server ❤️
I got a bunch of new references for a drawing I’m gonna make of my oc, could they be better? Of course, but I can’t be arsed to get the freecam mod to do it
(Chat which one’s the best I need opinions)
You don't need a mod to use freecam. Press the Shift + ` or ¬ button next to the numbers on the keyboard then type freecam then there.
WHAAAA??
Heyo, sorry if this is the wrong chat, but i just reinstalled the game and made a new save after not playing for awhile, and my camera seems to be stuck inside robin's head 
and i have no clue how to fix it (i tried leaving the game)
also enjoyed the intro through robin's head to lolol
hmmm. FOV setting?
changed the setting and it only moved the face parts around 
it is the right chat
i'm going to try validating the files, because robins animation is also just her falling nonstop
do you have mods, and did you ever have mods in BZ?
(mods will survive a reinstall)
lolol i completely forgot i had some mods installed since it's been awhile, going to remove them 
tyty
to remove mods properly, clean out the game folder, except you can leave SNappdata with the saves in it, then reinstall
already ahead of you, and yippieeee i've been freeeeed from the perpetual pov clipping
tyty again
got some more screenshots
the second to last one kind of feels like a dev photo teaser ngl
Glad you found out how to use the freecam 👍
Shaders,, reshade presets
Can it be done on console?
Which console?
Like Xbox, Playstation, etc.
PS5
The wiki says L1 + X + R1
I kinda fixed this
I disconnected the module that wasnt stuck in the seatruck and then i moved it away
I then went out resource gathering. as i was approaching my base the module that was clipped into the seatruck got itself unstuck. Idk how, i assume i got lucky or something.
I took all my upgrades out of my seatruck, took the power cells out, and destroyed it with my prawn
I then deconstructed and rebuilt my seatruck dock for good measure
I put my seatruck and modules back in and it looks like its working just fine again.
I hope this NEVER happens again bc it had me stressing
Desert subnautica is stupid
The main premise about subnautica is the ocean
Cant really capture the deep dark ocean with desert terrain on the map
Wdym, desert? Like no fauna?
need some new biomes
like new new new stuff
not renamed same stuff
like another island
but it has a lot of lakes in it like the amazon
for the tadpole to swim around
oh yeah true
This shadow leviathan is getting on my nerves
It keeps clipping through crystals to get me, and its pace of attack is too fast for me to repair my suit between attacks
leviathan is such an umbrella term in subnautic
true
I just found out that the leviathans that look like crocodiles and live near the mountains jump incredibly high out of the water. I'm scared. 💀
I was collecting scrap metal near the rusted ship, and when I went outside for some air and turned around, my friend and I almost fainted when we saw that THING jump.
Crocodiles? Mountains?
Brother i have no clue what you’re talking about
Cryptosuchus maybe?
Why doesn't my last trophy trigger?
Install a jukebox sounds pretty self-explanatory
Do I need to place it somewhere special?
Idk anything about this achievement but maybe you need to add the speakers around your base as well?
Just an idea
Or maybe try deleting and rebuilding it
Unrelated, how do i unlock the phi robotics beacon? Do i automatically get it at some point or do i need to manually do it
You get it automatically when you’re close
Awesome, thanks
I wanna get the snowfox and its dock
And other goodies
i didnt crafted the snowfox in my playtrought
i go to the ice worm without any vehicle lol
i didnt have any
i crafted the prawn later and go back there because the ||Alan mission||
I wanna craft the snowfox for fun
To mess around
And most important of all, to flex on maida
Nvm i just placed a jukebox down and got it
No idea why it isnt working for you
Just to check: have you used commands at any point?
Man why can i not find phi robotics anywhere
I did, but I did not save (I didn't even know commands could be used on console before today)
But I created a new save just to build a jukebox, and it worked
Prawn is way better
who down to watch me play subnautica
That thing is near a mountain of ice
Now that I discovered console commands, there's no point travelling across the map to gather materials 🙁
Why do people say the game is bad. I have been playing for 2h and 30m and its super fun
Thats cheating...
sbz is genuinely overhated
It is, but now that I know I can use that, it's hard to stop myself from using it
Real
I used to just cheat in a beacon or one material I’m missing to save time
Now that I’m better at the game (and frankly forgot how to use console commands) I don’t use them
Sadly, no amount of skill can match the ability to spawn a couple lead ores when all your remaining galena outcrops on your scanner are physically stuck
Use grav trap to unstuck outcrops
I did, but the last ones are stuck too deep
Fair
Well, at least I built 99.9% of my base fair and square, now I'm just re-organizing my energy production with a bunch of solar panels
So far the only commands I've used are hypnosison (to see what it does), and night (to see what the surface part of my base looks like at night)
Guys, bad luck is chasing me with alien containment blueprint every time, in both games
Is there any spot where I'm guaranteed to find it in BZ?
Yes, ||Mercury 2 bow section||
Thank you, thank you!
who down to watch me play subnautica
sooo i need help i cant find snowfox fragments- i was already on the snow island or however its called beacuse of architect artifact and walked in many direction. i also found phi and some worm creature and 2 mining sites but i just cant find fragments
anyone willingly to give me a tiny hint?
it's laying in the snow outside around phi, and south from there
around phi? i didnt saw any but i did saw tiny holes foe the robo pinguines to go in
unless yeah more south
i could go and check again but i was truly losing my mind for an hour finding some- then that worm got to me and i fleed
example
ohh or i could have missed them as well i am now not sure ill check again- Thank you so much!
i noticed that a seatruck docking module is lighter than a normal module, but becomes heavier than a normal module when a prawn is docked
90% of the fun for me is resource gathering so I've never felt the need to cheat
How do i get to phi? I fixed the bridge but ive been wandering around aimlessly
Whats the general direction i should be heading once i cross the bridge?
no. South of the bridge. The whole area near Phi landing pad beacon
Omg
I havent even gotten the beacon yet lol, i thought it was past the bridge and i had to go deep to unlock it
Thanks for the info
go back to the sea dock, walk west
Any tips before i start below zero ?
Have you been spoiled for anything in the story or gameplay wise? If you havent, i suggest staying off the internet, this discord, and any forums to avoid any spoilers so your first playthrough is as organic as possible
Also, always go deeper when possible
first time i played i got to the part when u folow the pillars i guess yk wich ones and i stoped plaing so not that far
Save often. Make air bladder, its great. Always carry a beacon
bet thanks
Whatever you do always try to have as empty of your "item holder" when you go out from biome to biome to grab materials
As always take extra , its always needed later on
And just enjoy it. I am also playing BZ right now and am just enjoying myself , adventuring around and fabricating things here and there.
i wanna try beating the game without looking at any tutorials itp
Ohhh fair enough. I will not mention any spoilers or any other tips then and just hoping you have fun
thanks
Just wanted to help there tiny bit as you asked earlier
much appreciated
when i was playing subnautica i never took extra n i had to come back to places like a lot of times
How much snow stalker fur do i need in total to craft stuff? I just killed one and im planning on taking some back
Ik i need 4 for the cold suit
2 for suit , 1 for glove and one for head part
I have an inventory full of good loot so i need to know how much i needa drop to accommodate for the fur
And is that it? Nothing else needs the fur?
Well am not that far yet if theres any more blueprints but for the cold suit just 4 in total yes
I already made it
iirc only cold suit needs their
Ok good
Man i dont wanna get rid of any of this stuff 😭 but i dont wanna come back either
What do you even have? 😭
Do you have to portable lockers? I forgot how they are called
But basicly you can put lockers in different biomes/places and basiclly just put it in and grab it at your base.
Posters, flasks, a bunch of magnetite, and tools
I wanna keep the base deco items
And i NEED magnetite bc im going thermal power
Ah fair enough i did the same for base decor. And same for msgnetite
Ill figure something out
I could just pilot my pengling drone with the storage all the way from here to my seatruck lol
Maybe go back to the seatruck or prawn suit and leave it in seen open spot but somewhere you wouldnt loss
And come back?
Usually materials stay. I tried before.
Nvm i had reload my save cus my game turned off and the corpse is gone
Still i found a bunch of magnetite in the wall just now so my issue persists
Ykw whatever ill just make another trip back
this was the most unexpected thing ever tbh
finally starting a new save
Do cryptosuchus eggs exist?
I have a pet bruteshark in containment and i want a cryptosuchus too
Did it follow you there? I can scan for chelicerates with my scanner room and the only one that shows up shows up further down than 35m
Yes
Awesome, thanks
I hate them but they look so cool and i need one
Im looking at the wiki and holy crap i can have glow whales??
Kiss it
I FINALLY got my thermal plants down
Never need to worry about energy again
12 thermal plants running nonstop at 60-70°C = 3000 power
And that still isnt enough to keep up with 3 water filtrations apparently
I read that as thermal pants lol
The thing is that base power sources are used one at a time until it's empty (the energy storage, not empty of fuel for bio- and nuclear reactors). At some point your base power will stabilize and not go down when enough thermal plants are producing power.
Really?
Cus i wanna have my 3 filtrations but this is crazy (3 filtrations + active scanner room)
Thats 12 thermal plants that are all in places above 60°C
Also my power is filling up so slowly i need to add more thermal plants
More thermal plants do nothing (except add max power to base and add input while they fill up🤷♂️
Just wait to see where and when your power stabilizes.
When 4th thermal starts to work, your power gain is more than the consumption
(Assuming in screenshot above only one is active and they are all in the same temperature)
In the screenshot all 12 are placed and all are in similar temps
So you’re saying i should just put the filtrations down and let them run till my power sorts itself out?
Ykw you’re right, all my thermal plants are in the range of degrees celcius shown in the image below so i should be getting a LOT of power per second
Just gotta wait
If you go look at the thermal plants close by, you can see individual power status of them. Probably 11 of them are 250/250 and only one x/250 and actually generating power
Ah that makes sense
So if i keep everything running then eventually all the thermal plants will be running to fill themselves up?
Depends on the power need. If you get 0.86 power gain from each, 4 thermals should be enough for the 3.05 energy usage in your earlier screenshot
"Warning entering ecological dead zone"
This isnt cute?
Agreed ... it is not.
Looks too much like a crashfish
Is like a litle potato
I'll take the sea monkies any day
I killed them all
And used them as energy for mine base
I have a whole factory for them

You gotta do what makes you happy
Alr 😄
Adorable
the trivalve is cute because it's expressive.
otherwise, it's kinda creepy
i still have not got below 0 should i buy it
yes. Expect different, because it is. But a great game
ok
I mean you’re asking in the bz chat we’re gonna be biased lol
I say yes tho, its a very fun game and i enjoy it. I started playing about a week ago and ive already sunk 17 hours into it
im buyin it dude
Lock in robin
Robin when she stops holding back
She emoted on it too
scare them: Hold a flare, or operate repair tool or laser cutter
Why do that when i can just kill them

I can scare them with heat right
I have a fire knife
Its hot enough
Also, do squidsharks in an alien containment make more eggs?
I found both of the eggs on the map and i was wondering if i can make more
Ik if you have 2+ of an animal in containment they breed but idk if they make actual eggs or just baby versions of themselves
Why kill them when there are easy ways to avoid them🤷♂️
Robin “Run The Fade” Ayou
Yes they'll produce eggs. You need to have space in your containment.
I have three squid sharks in my locker
What if i breed and release like 40 squidsharks in the ||architect caverns||
Can they solo the leviathans
I think they can shock leviathans yeah, idk about killingthem
you dont mowe as fast for the map is not to big if you were fast it will feel tiny
Map is smaller so they made you slower to make the map feel bigger than it really is
Dawg I am like swimming 4 metres a minute
If they can bleed
They can DIE
Theres water in the game
Don't tell him about the fish🤫
14% slower i think
Big fish or small fish
My exact thought process
Ive killed so many cryptosuchuses lol
Im much more of a homicidal maniac in bz than i was in sub1
This is the below zero chat
Also leviathans can follow you out of zones if you keep aggro on them
Oh sorry lol
I didn't aggro him! I just got here!
Menacing aura
He has a 200m spawn radius I swear he's in a different biome every time I get here
I refuse to believe they're static
Finally unlocked || ion batteries and power cells||
yo where do i get habitat builder fragments?
Only really need one and you can find it in a broken compartment in the Twisty Bridges
There's one near the door of the first habitat on Delta Station
Would 2 storages be better than storage and thermal reactor on a prawn suit
The only places with thermal stuff is the thermal vents and purple vents and i live in that area so its redundant
I have to say I’m a lot more scared playing Below Zero than I ever was playing Subnautica
The deep Lilypads biome😭
I'm pretty sure it says in the storage description that it doesn't stack...
Deep lilypad caves are cool || crystal caves though...||
Ur right
Would be op
Chelicerate is such a 😸 he always runs away 😑 how long does it take for him to recover his hp?
Where does it say that?
As I said "I'm pretty sure" as it's 2am and I'm not on could be wrong🤷
All parts of it are explorable and have quite a few nice things to find inside. I suggest taking a second ultra high capacity tank with you though. And a laser cutter obviously
There's 3 or 4 parts of it scattered throughout the map
It just took me a minute to find the entrance
How do you go inside of vent gardens?
Aproach it from beneath and swim into the hole in the middle...
Yeah 😂
Yes spiral plants
I needed that so bad
I gotta say vent gardens are unreal
They are huge
Fun
Should I make a Subnautica clip compilation and put it on YT?
I got a ton of em
Damn that’s a crazy snipe
Yeah ik
I hadn’t saved in a while either so I actually had to go back and get it
The prawn suit I mean
when I first saw this yesterday
I hate those things with a burning passion
I immediately thought of the bleeders from the first game
That’s why I grabbed my knife
I think they’re cool
Especially seeing them for the first time
So annoying
I just got the depth module mk 2
is there any vehicle other than the sea truck in below zero?
It seems really lazy
If this server isn't considered a small server what is? It's 212k members lol
Nope truck and prawn for water. Snowfox for land
But I prefer taking my prawn on land
Oh yeah, I forgot about those, but I mean an original vehicle
Well, I guess the snow fox
But that’s a freaking snowmobile
Only those 3 vehicles sadly
Prawn suit got reworked, it feels a bit different from the first game
Not a big fan of the truck for long distances neither tbh
I’m assuming you have to find a data box for the ultra high capacity tank?
No
You have to scan seamonkey nests right in that region
Only way to get it
Just as I thought, I would never have to go back there
But no
I think unknown worlds has a favorite biome
I made my new main base right above omega lab and deep lilypad caves entrance
What biome are the vent gardens in?
Tree spires
It looks to me like when you go deep in that biome you find the entrance to the crystal caves, correct?
Yes
also, I have intentionally tried to get to the void and I can’t find out how
it’s all blocked by ice walls
I haven't tried tbh as it's guarded by a shadow chelicerate and idk how I'm gonna scan him lol
what do you think about them removing the stasis rifle?
You can also get into crystal caves from the spot where margerit has her base
I didn't really play the first game only a few hours
Bro what??
I got seamoth explored behind the ship and well you know what then happened. I stopped and never picked it up again
That’s what every Subnautica player does for the first time just don’t do that again and also don’t go in the opposite direction of the aurora either.
It ramps up in fun really quick as you make progress
Nah I'm 23 hours into below zero and it's getting sooooooo boring😩
But back to the point, in the first game, pretty much the only reasonable way to scan a hostile Leviathan was by using a stasis rifle to freeze it
Well
I resorted to clever swimming and reinforced dive suit to scan the leviathans
The ||shadow|| is hard to scan because of where it lives in
Harder to swim around it to scan
Chelicerate always running away before I can kill it😑
Kill it???
I tried to distract it with a flare
Well before it killed me I got to like 90% and could just finish it quickly after as I respawned in my truck right next to where I died
You beat the game right?
Yeah I stun with defense module of truck and then go at it with knife but it's not fast enough I might try drill and grappling tomorrow
No not yet I've found only 2 body parts and still have a few outposts to find I think there's also another island I can still explore
You can beat it first if you want, but you have to beat the original Subnautica before Subnautica 2 comes out if you want to ethically play it
I'll have years till then after below zero I'm done with Subnautica for some time it's getting lonely and boring as hell😩
Have a few other games I wanna play next
Fair enough. If I either get bored of Subnautica, Below Zero or I beat it before Subnautica two comes into early access, I’m probably gonna play No man’s sky
No mans sky also on my list but first ghost of yōtei. And in november gta6 releasing... I'm on ps so no early access for me anyway
Thanks for helping me find this old lady’s house in the process
Np u can get into crystal caves from there also just explore the deeper tunnels around her house
I’m in the red ribbony area
Koppa mining site feels so lackluster
Please tell me theres some secret passages or something i can find
||i already found the alien structure there if it matters||
the ||alien thing|| is the only 'secret' in the lower area.
other than that, there is a second entrance at the top of the cave.
The lava entrance? Ik abt that one, found it when i was setting up my thermal plants
I was really hoping there was more to this place
I hate the handling of the snowfox bruh
You would think that the suspension would be buttery smooth with the electromag stuff but no
it is kind of a motion sickness simulator lol
Apparently some players don't notice the prawn jump jet upgrade module down there...
yes bro
no i dont notice it at all
if u press W the energy bar goes down
so that sucks a lot
You have the same velocity with a depleted bar when you press W, if my memory is correct. Which means it depletes for nothing. That's the annoying part.

Only thing you need for on land exploration is prawn. You can do skips n stuff with it which you couldn't with the snowfox
Prawn makes land easy
Do ||Cryptosuchus|| and ||squidsharks respawn when i kill them||?
Ty
Cryptosuchus: Respawns in roughly 600 seconds (10 minutes).
Squidsharks: Respawns in roughly 1200 seconds (20 minutes
I'm preety shure this is true
they don't respawn when killed by the player
You shure
Cus they are not leviatans
I killed lots of cryptosuchus, now the general area is really quiet
I had to breed and release my own just to make it feel lively again
👍
Do swim charge fins work on seaglide?
That's when they're killed by another creature, when killed by you they stay dead
Squidshark is considered a low end leviathan
Yes
Seaglide basically becomes a battery charger
Guys i want to ask something but dont know how to do the thing with spoilers cus i dont want to spoil
Put 2 of | at the beginning and end of the message
Thx
So i have two of the || Alan body parts but i dont have the 3rd one i have explored prety much everything on the top of the map and i got the sintetyc fibers || but the problem is cus i dont have any of the new locations to explore and pda dosent say anything what should i do next to get some new location to apear for me to explore
Hmm he just dropped me another artifact location after I found 2 new ones I think I have 8 or 9 now so I'd say continue looking for artifacts
But i dont know were to look
Rn I'm farming titanium and quartz next to abyss there's so many big nodes
I just find them while exploring caves and stuff but you can just watch a guide on yt if u want
Ok thx for helping
Yw
Abyss farm op
I hate when that happens
It won't let me stand up without leaving 😡
yeah if it's too tilted you can't stand in it
Ooooh thanks I was getting so mad😭
Makes sense 🤦😂
I use that trick if I want to exit my truck faster
I was searching for outpost zero but suddenly I ended up in the void and saw it has sooo much titanium and quartz I had to stop by
Sadly it wouldn't let me scan the chalicerate he ran away
@wind crown
That bot flooded all channels with it
I can't capture brinewig?? 😩
for me in below 0 these things are a nightmare
Does the void checlerate have a spawn id or no
Hm idk but swim to void you'll find it there if it doesn't run away like mine
I mean for console, so i can just spawn it in wherever
No it doesn't have a specific techtype.
Ie: you can't spawn it with the spawn command. You need a mod.
If I put creepvine into an alien containment will it grow seed cluster?
If you place the seed yes, it needs two stories.
How do you get the seed? Only get samples
First shadow leviathan down💪
You grab them. You get the sample by cutting. But you get the creepvine seed cluster by picking it up.
You just have to plant that instead.
Oh I didn't know u could just grab them lol. Thanks
Nah mb I'm dumb yeah now I gotcha🤦😭😂
Leaving out abyss what's the deepest point in the game? I've gotten to around 840m in ||crystal cave cache||
You haven't crafted silicone rubber or lubricant?
Baah more shadow leviathans in || fabricator caves||
Hello
i've always wondered why they didn't bother making robin hold a small controller or something while piloting it
Am I the only one who doesn't like having these gauges that do nothing? If you have a feature it should be useful somehow. Here the infiltration value and companionship level don't influence the behavior of the pengwings.
mind control
just 1v1ed a shadow leviathan in my prawn suit
Nice💪 I took down 2 of em and then was too lazy for the third
lol
🖤
anyone got any ideas for a fun base location?
i need to be able to build in water to make a garden for my aquatic plantw
and i need to be able to fit my seatruck
Mhmm maybe in the water then?
I'm building a base on the lilypad island directly above the entrance to deep lilypad caves and omega station
yeah, but like what biome
ive built in the lilypad biome every run
i want to try something new, but am struggling to choose
Tree spires is a cool biome🤷
I remember seeing someone do a cool base on the mountain in the tree spires
where is the tree spires again?
ah
could be cool
id probabaly be in a lot of danger though
my seatruck is so slow
Nah chelicerate is a 😸😸
He always runs away when you stab him a bit
i hate how useful the aquarium modules are
You could kill the ||ghost leviathans|| and build in ||crystal caves||
i probably would build in the crystal caves, but i struggle to get the seatruck in and out of there
I don't need a driving aquarium and the game always threw me aquarium fragments into the face like build it build it
i love having fun and interesting fish in my fish tanks
Yeah with so many modules I can imagine try different entrances
Yeah I have them in my base
its a shame i cant have larger creature containment
i just feel like the large room ones couldve been better
its either 2 with no room or 1 with too much room
I'm in the process of making 2 alien containments 11 stories high both that's quite a lot of space
ill probably try that
Forager w game btw
yeah
its a shame that its so hard to play (i have preformance issues that i cant figure out a fix for)
Yeah in end game the lags are unreal sadly
not even that, i lag early game because of a bug
Having 30 drones doesn't help
Oh damn that sucks
if i tab out at any point, it drops to below 20 fps until i restart the game
Oh damn☠️
if i dont, the game just does that but randomly instead
Is it all one connected tank 11 stories high? I had no idea you could go that high. Do creatures you put in swim around all the space or just stay near the plants at the bottom?
Yeah you can do it as high as you want. I haven't built so high yet I think highest I had was 5 but they swam all around
Cool. I have only ever built two high and never tried building anything bigger. But my based don’t get super large anyways
I'm putting them on the sides just badly out of resources cause this base devourers titanium and quartz like nothing😩
i know the feel all to well
i had to start a new save because i just couldnt find more titanium or quartz anywhere
That’s a cool base design. I can’t make out where it is, though. Have you done much interior decorating?
Not at all yet, all resources going into buildings atm
Only started making my storage which is the big building. And got 2 nuclear reactors
Need to decorate and make 2 big greenhouses still
And the aquariums which will take like 3k quartz☠️
Because I'll equip the towers with full window also so you can see in/out
also there not being a sonar upgrade in below zero is crazy
Luckily there's tons of titanium and quartz next to the void area still
i ended up using that too
and the stuff around the island
You’re going to need a lot of reinforcement in other parts of the base
It would be cool if we could just stack those foundation plates underneath to kinda cheat that necessity.
Yeah my storage room has lots of reinforcement cause if you place the storage lockers first you can then convert the walls into reinforced walls while if you'd reinforce them first it wouldn't let you place lockers .A lot of other spots where I don't want windows also already have reinforcements. Got a lot of windows etc but am at 60 stability rn
If I reinforce one of the back rows of each of my aquarium towers where it wouldn't be seen much I can get 140 more stability
And I can also still place bunks around in my base
Ooo that’s a good tip on the lockers.
On my base I built a three story multipurpose room tower. Some of that has reinforcements, but mostly glass windows, that is the most glass I put in for a section (aside from large room having a glass roof). Put in a bathroom, then kitchen and dining above, the bedroom with an observatory coming off the side. Built it by the vent garden by the cliff wall where the leviathan likes to hang around.
Wait that works?
Dang I’m dumb
I remember in SN I once put a tube on a foundation that wasn’t actually connected to my base and loaded it up with reinforcement and it seemed to still count.
Oh that sounds nice. My bedroom will be this one and the one below will be kitchen/dining room. You gotta post some pics of your base😆
Yeah I found out today cause I got the entire wall full of lockers and was like well let's try and it worked just fine😆
Will do when I get to my computer later today.
@ me cause it's half past midnight for me I'm going to sleep soon
Just rename the locker to ladder and carry on. Feature unlocked, congrats! Seriously though that is a weird little bug. Are they both still functional?
Ah I can imagine that. I guess you can disassemble it and move it somewhere else still?
That would definitely be possible
What’s a parallel processing unit and how do I get it?
I need it for the test override module thing
Use the fabricator to craft it. If it doesn't appear, look for fragments in the crashed ship parts
What happens when the seabase energy counter drops enough to reach yellow values? I've seen that floodlights turn off, didn't spot any other difference
lmfao
i dont think ive ever seen this talked about
did anyone else know about them?
they're basically cuddlefish
Trivalves? Not everyone does, since they only come in eggs
Damn you have a very organised garden
im trying out a snap to grid mod
i also havent finished the garden
itll look better once i get the decorative plants
Daamn 3:16 am I was gonna go sleep 3 hours ago but then I got into grinding and building😩😭
My base doesn't fit on my screen anymore and I'm already on max fov 😩 I think I've got enough energy though
Base is in a nice spot I can scan for everything except kyanite
im a bit curious about the two seatruck docks
Will make a second truck and a second prawn also
I just like symmetry so well😅
Tomorrow I'll start making outdoor and indoor gardens aswell as finish my storage as I didn't like how it looked
Happy that I could kinda hide the nuclear reactor rooms as I made a 12 story multipurpose tower and fully reinforced that and it would've wrecked the aesthetic quite a lot. But I've put them into the opening of the island right above omega station
Im having such a hard time finding ||the alien arch in the arctic spires||
Im looking at mapgenie, ||ive been to the greenhouse, ive been to the diamond pit, but when i search the area in between i just cant find the alien arch or lift||
Any help?
Try this map:
#below-zero-chat message
That map is actually perfect wow, thanks
Thank meatie⭐swe🫡
Thank you both
theres blueprint of those in the Mercury II wrecks
Why do commands/cheats not work in BZ? Even the most basic stuff doesn't function as it should, instead asking me to switch to Custom mode. When doing this, cheats don't work either.
fun fact: you can kill alien robots
Some commands don't work you're right, you have to use the custom mode menu instead.
Then use less modules
It can be faster than the seamoth if you only take what you need, and not 59 modules at omg
Is it faster? Like if you spawn the afterburner, with the cooldown, does it have a superior average velocity?
I ask but I am not interested enough to find out myself. :þ
Without the afterburner, it's obviously slower, but it's so fast with the upgrade. I think it achieves similar speeds, but I don't know if the off time between bursts of speed bring it down a lot.
I should probably test this when I get the chance
The afterburner on the base seatruck actually goes faster than the seamoth
Seamoth is 11.25 m/s, seatruck + afterburner is 13.15 m/s
Not sure about cooldown tho
How to fix other attached modules to seatruck
Hard disagree
I have to say, the seatruck is probably my favorite subnautica vehicle. Very customizable but also very mobile
Just use a repair tool on them like you would for your seatruck or prawn.
Or if you mean how to attach modules to cabin, use the yellow handle on top of the modules.
Is this what I think it is?
the void? yes
As a Dev, do you think that the hate for Subnautica Below Zero is justified?
WHERE i can find THIS lItHiUm
PuRpLe VeNtS.
I dOnT nEeD fIgHt WiTh ChElIcErAtE
It's isn't a small biome, you can pick up some around the border.
You have Tree Spires and Thermal Spires as well. Tree Spires do have two chelicerates, but they're localized.
One ventgarden is free.
Is PuRpLe VeNtS SaFe FoR sEaTrUcK¿
It depends what you call safe. There are cryptosuchuses and one chelicerate.
But again the chelicerate roams around the entrance of Deep Purple Vents and the cryptosuchuses aren't a massite threat.

Crafting the vehicles doesn't tell us when you are in the story.
What did you do story wise? Use spoiler tags.
Brother bffr
what ziz bradar delite zis
Snbz hate isnt justified at all imo
Yes, i do prefer the first game, but below zero is fantastic as well. Plus below zero brought some cool stuff like the seatruck and new base stuff
My bad gng
Seatruck might actually be my favorite subnautica vehicle
Like a seamoth (my fav sn1 vehicle) but more customizable
Love the look of this creature's mouth. It's so bizzare and very amazing
donyas first message
I need help
I died and got stuck in a black loading screen after death
And then I pressed a bunch of fn buttons
And I’m kind of here
i cant move or anything and i cant use the unstuck button
and idk why i stupidly saved right before dying so im like stuck in a loop death of black screen
Sbz isn’t even that bad trust
It's not horrible and love a lot with the game but Sea truck is where I lose interest
you can post it in #📺streams-and-videos but not here please
So in Subnautica one it’s the cuddle fish but is there a fish like that but in below zero
the Trivalve

Penguin
That thing looks cool
Seatruck with no modules and afterburner faster then seamoth and the option to just add 10 storage modules when I want to go farm a lot of materials makes it pretty cool
I apologize
Too much obnoxious drag. It makes me hate the Seatruck. It was so annoying I am currently only on my second playthrough while in Sn1 I have played it I believe almost 15 times now
Why do you dislike the seatruck?
Oh im blind
Hi a poster has got stuck on my base wall and won’t let me remove it, just wondering if anyone knows how to fix?
Musical group 😭😭😭
How many places need the laser cutter?
Ive been carrying it around just in case but i would like to not do that. Im a kleptomaniac i need to take everything i find
||ive been thru all 3 mercury wrecks and opened every laser cutter thing i could find. I also opened the hole in the glacial basin||
Thats weird, maybe try deconstructing the base piece? Ik that you cant deconstruct stuff with things like posters and fabricators on the wall, however i was able to do that once with a poster so its worth a shot
Unfortunately that’s not working either
Saving and reloading?
Nope hasn’t worked either
A few icebergs have areas you can cut through using the laser cutter
But those are super rare
“Super rare” arent they set locations? Is there a map where i can find them?
Idk if there’s a map for it, but yeah they’re in set locations
What did you notice?
I had no idea
Have a bug, maybe someone can help -- my prawn is stuck in Land mode (like, when I jump underwater it does a shallow jump like on land, and when I dock it on the seatruck, the prawn sits) and anytime I exit the prawn, I am in Land mode (expected on land, not underwater). I can "fix" the second issue by using Unstuck, but it's making the prawn a nightmare not worth using. Help?
Stuff I've already done: went through the whole troubleshooting guide, F8ed, and sent in my log file.
I'm on Windows, via Steam.
Did they make the jukebox songs from BZ? 
can one build atop of the lilypads? i want to make a new interesting base, but i dont know where i should travel to
The UI can be scary indeed. Press F1 and you'll remove it.
Nice one!
Can we talk about our YouTube video here, or it's against the rules
bro its subnautica below zero chat
not youtube short mister roblox minecraft555
@dull ingot oh I released my first Subnautica Below video an hour ago, I was wondering the rules of this server
it's not off topic
sooo whats bleow zero lik i have nere playd it????????????????
is it fun
i want to get it but im poor af
spinoff of subnautica 1
basically subnautica 1.5
below zero is very good, it goes on sale all the time though so you could wait
we don't know for sure but maybe during ocean fest in may
o ok
HOLY CRAP
Yo u good bro
30 usd is not too much compared to other games elden ring costs double that
but im poor
in that i don't mean cheap i mean it in a relative way
o
so its worth it if its in your budget
well good luck i hope you will find a way to get that extra money to get the game or something else you wanted
as long as its not something like world domination (jk)
Maybe
Is it normal that floodlights do not get power if they're on glass parts of my base?
Do you have control room and have you powered off part of your base?
Everything is unpowered, except the parts I need
So is the unpowered floodlight built on unpowered part of the base...
If I build the floodlight on this part (that is unpowered too), it works
Maybe there's some range from the powered part of the base where lights work🤷♂️
Nope, I tried on another glass part literally less than 2 metres away from another (powered) floodlight
The only correlation I found so far is glass/non-glass
@bold monolith Do you happen to know what's going on with floodlights and glass compartments?
I don't, and we probably don't have a ticket for it. Even so there is no update planned.
Unrelated question: can fish multiply while I'm watching, or it can only happen while I'm looking away?
it happens when you're away too
same thing as hatching eggs
I know it can happen while I'm away, but can it happen while I'm here and watching?
oh that i'm not sure
I have always thought it's just about time passing by, regardless if yoi watch or not...bit not sure 🤷♂️
yall this normal
As normal as your location.
Lmao, nope not normal
Shed leviathan
||Shad dough||
Yk there's 2 versions of the game
1: the actual game
2: subnautica 2 playtest
Except with subnautica 1 there wasn't a playtest
i completed subanutica bz for the first time lol wasnt an ending i was expecting... it was cool but i didnt like the cliff hanger tbh
this needs to be in #📺streams-and-videos, sorry
thanks
Yall where is silver at the beginning of the game. I have 1 and cant remember where I got it
Check my video
Click on Cerbi’s link above 👆
Go to streams and video
At the beginning of my first video you can find silver
Few seconds after I get into the water, in the right
Or around Delta island
Argentite outcrops
the grey rocks that look like slate
hey where can I find the bed module for the sea truck?
will there every be a bugfix that addresses the squidshark's weird ambiguity on whether or not its considered a leviathan?
Its classed as a leviathan
Idk what ambiguity you’re on about
That was a mistake.
Originally it was meant to be a leviathan, and it stayed that way long enough for the databank to be written with that, but they decided to change it, and it was unreasonable to fix that small bit across all translations of the game.
Oh ok
Originally the squidshark was a special leviathan just in the deep twisty bridges
But they watered it down and spammed them all over the lilypads 😭
Wait seriously?
Way back in the early access days yeah
I was so sad when they put them everywhere
It was really cool as a special lil leviathan guarding that area
I was just happy when one got added to the deep Lilypads tbh
Deep lilypads would have been ok
Man that really would have been cool. I don't touch EA games ever so I didn't know that
The thing is that the pda databank entry is under 'large carnivores' and not under 'leviathans'...
guys i have a question so i feel like im stuck and im not getting any more quests or stuff to do was i supposed to when i find artifacts in new biomes to scan everything i see not just the artifact like the biome it self?
You are doomed
Guys is the squidshark a leviathan or not
It is not.
Maybe you forgot to feed and water it.
Yeah...wonder why
time zones bro
I love how its always that dark out
should i play below zero
I'm pretty confused, some people say its bad, some say it's good enough
It’s pretty good, if you like the lore then I definetly reccomend as it adds and expands to it, from what I see the only people who dislike it are just comparing it to the original, which is because the original is so good
Set a timer and try to see what you can under two hours. It's better for you to make your own opinion.
If you don't like it, you can then refund.
well yes i do love the lore
for me is Below Zero good, but the first one is better
Hello im currently facing a problem with bz.Im trying to disable the Alterra communications tower but the enter test mode or status report dont work(yes i have the test override module)
Oh yeah that works tysm
Changing keybind for use/interact button typically breaks some inteactions🤷♂️
I finally killed most of the knock off reapers theyre so annoying oh my god
I didnt have any problems with reapers in the og game but the squid ones are so much worse lol
Chelicerate is a tuff name though
There is the option to use seatruck perimeter defence system and be safe from all leviathans in bz 🤷♂️
No! I wanna kill them all!!!!
should this be like that?
Yes.
Follow the arrow and markers
If you liked the first game, below zero is a fun dlc to expand a bit more on the lore while giving you fun new features and tools to try out. You might as well get all the lore you can before subnautica 2 comes out
It's not a dlc, it's a separate stand-alone game.
Yes
To be fair it was originally going to be an add-on expansion for Subnautica, but then they decided to make it a standalone title
At some point the assets were more than 4GB, and before they use the Addressables system that loads / unloads the assets on the fly, it used a big asset file that, when above the 4GB was causing the Skittles bug. So the choice was also influenced by this.
Someone knows how to fix this ?
System drive not full?
check system drive, and game drive if not same
I prefer it to SN1 personally. If you liked the first game you'll probably enjoy BZ
oh boy i loved the first one :)
i liked SN1 more, honestly i think it just goes to the depth and environments, all the biomes were stunning to enter for the first time.
but i liked that there was so much more to do in BZ, i loved both
i will buy bz when its price goes below zero
also my favorite fimsh from the game series is in BZ
haha get it-
not full
How become i fast lead in subnutica below zero
You can get lead in galena outcrops or monkey gifts. No drillable lead deposits...
monkey gifts: unpin all, pin a lead item. Find monkey
That's what I was wondering. I put scanners all around the map, yet I didn't remember ever finding a lead deposit
Is this game good
yes, we like it. It's different though, don't expect it to be SN2
where’s a nice place to put a base in Bz
That has good views under and over water
I’m not completely underground
and still in reach of materials
I would suggest the west of the lilypads as it is the most commonly used base location with lots of nice scenery and only a few squidsharks nearby. Plus the east is near lots of important areas like tree spires, Mercury II, the purple vents and Delta island. It is also great as see monkeys roam the area which at certain points in the game give you resources for pinned recipes.
For sure, that's been my base location for pretty much my entire run and I haven't had any need to move. Such a good spot
so pretty as well
Does anyone else think that sector zero was more difficult to build on than the crater? In sn1 you had lots of wide open areas in convenient locations, but i feel like it was much harder to find a good spot in snbz
Im built on the side of delta island
On the northwest side
Above and below ground sections and central location
Dude im in the middle of getting attacked by a ||shadow leviathan|| and when i was in the pause menu i accidentally saved instead of unpausing are we fr
Leviathans dont attack stationary vehicles right? My seatruck and prawn (with max upgrades and 3 truck modules) was parked like right next to where i was attacked
should i actually play this game, already beat subnautica js waiting for 2 to come out, and bored rn
Yes, more lore
Yes beat it
Its very fun
Speaking of beating the game
Just did it, 10/10 game
Cant wait for the next game to come out so i can find out what happens to robin
Bro how did my bz playthru last almost as long as my sn1 playthru
Or at least has a comparable time to it
Subnautica 2 is not about Robin (or Ryley for that matter...)
I know but i hope we get some hints at the very least
Like maybe some mentions in pdas or something
Yall what should i play while waiting for subnautica 2 to come out
play subnautica for the last time
There will never be a last time
I will always be playing subnautica
But i wanna take a break from it i finally beat the first game a week and a half ago
(After taking a year long break)
what are y'alls opinions on below 0?
I liked it
I had a great time playing it
The hate is ridiculous and quite baseless
Its a good game and a worthwhile investment
i think it was okay defiantly could have been better but i agree
my only issue is the slower moving
thats really all tho
I mean kinda true, i do prefer the first game marginally, but just because the first game is a little better doesnt make below zero bad
Both are phenomenal
yea
That was in compensation of the smaller map iirc
The map is smaller. They made you move slower so the map feels bigger than it actually is.
Yeah
yeah ig
Which is fair i guess
What's on may 14 bro 💔
SN2 early access.
OH
||Not hate but it's not the Subnautica game I see fit for the series. Especially after playing the first game.
My first complaint is with the movement speed. The base speed is far slower than in SN1. This doesn't make the small map feel bigger, it makes the game feel like a drag.
My second complaint is with the vehicles. The Prawn suit was nerfed in the way that the booster now drains when moving forward, which I guess you can avoid by not holding the joy-stick like that but it's just annoying. It also feels far weaker than previously. And worst yet, it has these engine sounds for an electric vehicle (I know it's a nitpick but it's valid).
The Seatruck is fine, but not great. It fullfills the role of the Seamoth and the Cyclops but is great at neither. And while it is at least decently good as a Seamoth it doesn't even come close to being a cyclops. Creativity is limited by not being able to freely build inside and modules making the thing slower. It doesn't increase in Width but only in length, which is okay but not fit for BZ's smaller map. It's not a small cyclops, it's a replacement that doesn't live up to my expectation of the main vehicle.
The Snowfox basically isn't even a vehicle, but a sub-vehicle like the Seaglide. It is fine as is (maybe if it could drive on water for a short while or something it'd be even better) but it seriously can't count as a third vehicle. This also makes the Seatruck worse in a way, since there isn't a late game vehicle to add something new.
I also grandly dislike the aspect of voicing and an "assistant". Every time the character that I play tells me what to do I die inside a little. Then there's the fact that the game takes control of your camera sometimes. In Subnautica that happens at the start and end. You can admire Sunbeam, the aurora exploding and such all by yourself. No need to break immersion. I don't have Nitro so I gotta cut this short for now.||
It's a good game but not for me.
Comparison is the thief of joy, comparing subnautica 1 with below zero isn’t smart
It is when I enjoyed one more than the other. Hence comparing allows me to see what aspects made the game worse for me.
I agree, that’s true
And I have the same experience, I loved subnautica 1 more than below zero even if below zero was amazing aswell
Does this game take part on the same planet as subnautica the original
Yes.
help me
You don't need help it's your past-self. As you shared those a few days ago.
my ugly baby
i thought i opened sn2 chat and was freaked out upon seeing this msg
yo guys In 30 minutes I discovered the island, got all seatruck frags and discovered a cave so deep leviathans roam and I loot it daily
also I got Al-AN
below zero looks a lot better
just feels clunky
yea
yea but atleast its kinda hard to die
and if u die in a vehicle u just respawn in it or atleast a sea truck
#memes-and-media i lost da channel so ima do this quickly ignore this
guys my subnautica below zero on steam is not launching
what do i need to do to fix it
you think subnautica and below zero can go on sale before subnautica 2 releases?
where should i built my base
On the Surface it is a good place to be honest.
On Delta Island to be specific.
Lily pad islands, treespires or crystal cave
I just build by the life pod typically
Valid for the first 2-3 hours of the game yeah
Everything can be
I had no issues beating the game multiple times with a base here
Yeah no issues just long asf ways to any mid to end game resource
is it true that the prawn suit is heavily nerfed in bz
not really
Yeah it was nerfed but it still goes really fast in bz's smaller world
and it destroys land sections with the grapple
How about some PRIVACY?
I gave up trying to get unstuck from here in December, how do I get my Seatruck out from here?
You mean back into the open sea?
From memory, about 100m behind you, there's a way down
If you don't find it, ping me again in three hours and I'll record a video in-game
Yes, below the ice
Yeah that's the way in and out
There's also another passage a bit more North, but it can only fit a prawn suit
@steel stream I recorded the floodlight bug, this time
I made it back to my base, thank you!
You can also build a base in the glacier for the next time you get lost there 
I hope below zero goes on sale before SN2 comes out. I’d love to play it again beforehand
best one?
is it a good place?
someone else can reply btw
