They are all decorational purposes. They don't have any true purpose besides the Fridge. The Fridge can be used to store cooked foods so they don't rot overtime. It is also a neat little storage locker.

all they really added was some colorful beds and stuff

Basic beds with neat designs.

When does the whole temperature thing play into the game? So far i've had to avoid freezing once when above land planting solar panels. Nothing else has had me worry about temperature. I kinda figured the whole 'cold' thing would play into this game...a LOT more.

your temperature plays in a bit more when you get to the bigger land biomes

Does the full release on 14th may only add end game story or is there early stuff missing? Just wondering if i should start playing now or wait for full release?

do they respawn?
nope, but they will may 14th

I have no clue how the seafloor is there

I haven't actually been there much
I've been there once for the story lul
I like Pinnacards

I have a baby one, no clue where I got the egg
jolly nebula
you find the eggs in the arctic kelp forests
the east arctic has a lot of arctic rays, pinnacarids and some glow whales
weak lance
tbh my main reason for wanting to move is because my aquarium is small
jolly nebula
the west has eye jellies for miles
jolly nebula
yeah then east arctic is good
weak lance
at least they respawn small
jolly nebula
eye jellies are a no for me
jolly nebula
and I needed the thermal energy since in the night my base was going out of power and I needed a suitable passive energy source

oh, nice
jolly nebula
if you go straight up from the caldera you'll find a suitable iceberg for a base
weak lance
ok
the cheli is 200m down lul
I want one with a flat surface so I can make a plantation or something
Like, a small base
My current one is under the diving cage between the delta and the lifepod

There is a flat surface in one of the icebergs

are you able to get past the ice worm with a prawn suit?

if you mean undetected, I don't think so, the prawn makes more noise walking than you do running
I think most people use the prawn in the arctic spires so they don't take any damage and can just repair the prawn

bz is about 3/4 the length of the first game but theres more story and voice acting, land exploration, and WAYYY better base building

that is handy ... I forgot about that
control room is really handy for non-renewable energy bases which you don't use all the time so you can shut them down
stoic cargo
it seems that water filters also use power when not generating water (I could be wrong) and so does the moonpool so a few rooms to shut down
ornate field
water filters take so much power when working
stoic cargo
I run 2 of them in my main base .... 5 solar panels with a bio backup
ornate field
went in creative and set up those plants lel
in my main base, i have solar panels, bio, thermal and nuclear

and they are quicker than a battery charger by a mile. I don't even use moonpools any more

in my main base, i have solar panels, bio, thermal and nuclear

The Prawn Suit is the answer to all your warmth and food problems. 😄 Just stuff it full of power cells, food and water and you're gold.
jovial tiger
Nah
Use the salad and water
The salad gives 100 heat, Probably 87 food and 50 water
The ultimate food for survival
cobalt stump
85 food and 35 water btw
jovial tiger
thanks
cobalt stump
and yes it is 100 heat
cobalt stump
yes
a fruit salad is the best food for a planet covered in water
makes sense to me
jovial tiger
All I have to say is that I will be making 3 for a trip out
cobalt stump
noice
jovial tiger
It's good that they introduced the spicy fruit salad
cobalt stump
ye
i really only need the salad for the glacial basin tho
since i use my prawn suit for arctic spires
stoic cargo
salad is the best food all of the time
cobalt stump
(im saying that in terms of heat not water or food)
jovial tiger
You still can even eat Preston's delight as a fruit
cobalt stump
i think its either 3,4, or 5
stoic cargo
3 fruit per plant but think of them as seeds mostly. The plant itself is 6 leaves to harvest so 96 salads in an internal grow bed
cobalt stump
yeah
as i was saying tho, the heat part of the salad is really only good for glacial basin since your gonna wanna use the prawn suit for arctic spires for protection from ice worm boi
jovial tiger
When the almighty playstation store kindly hands over my subnautica below zero I'm planning a land base somewhere
stoic cargo
tip .... harvesting fruit is a pain because of lining up the cursor on the fruit so for fruit/seeds plant a small number of plants in wall plant pots placed up high .... that way they are much easier to harvest
cobalt stump
i should try that
i've only used exterior and interior grow beds for actually growing food
not the wall plant pots or any other pots
stoic cargo
so I have 5 wall plants for seeds and an internal grow bed for plants to get leaves from
cobalt stump
big brain time
jovial tiger
I wish they kinda added smoothies or something
cobalt stump
ooh that would be cool
stoic cargo
Delta has the BP for wall plant pots
cobalt stump
the alternative of salads, less food more water
jovial tiger
Minus 50 on heat but 25 food but 90 on water
cobalt stump
yes
jovial tiger
Since y'know the smoothie is cold
cobalt stump
some smoothies are cold some aren't
jovial tiger
And there would be chunks of fruit for food
stoic cargo
then you could start filling up the ocean with plastic straws /s
jovial tiger
I wonder how robin eats a peeper
cobalt stump

did anybody else just be completly confused on what to do after the greenhouse
if you do nothing then Alan gives you more clues
cobalt stump
ah
that makes sense
i'd assume he gives some sort of hint about a part of his body being at the glacial area
and gives a direction on where to do
stoic cargo
he kinda comes up with new locations he gives you
jovial tiger
wait don't you need to scan a certain number for a location?
tired sundial
Yooo can someone give me a name for my prawn
cobalt stump
theres no marker for arctic spires but he does tell you a body part is past the bridge when you walk on it
stoic cargo
there are also BPs after certain number of scans
cobalt stump
and he gives a hint eventually about a part of his body being in a "cold area something something ice spires something something"
stoic cargo
theres no marker for arctic spires but he does tell you a body part is past the ...
the clue to walk NE is massive though
cobalt stump
quantum locker is 2 recyclotron is 3 and ion power cells / batteries is 6
jovial tiger
Question for the both of you
tired sundial
Bruh
cobalt stump
he only gives you the ne clue after you go past the bridge
stoic cargo
true
jovial tiger
Also egghead call your prawn ice breaker or something
tired sundial
Alright
stoic cargo
my PRAWN is named Raw Prawn
jovial tiger
also who has pre ordered below zero
stoic cargo
Raw Prawn is an Aussie phrase as in "don't come the raw prawn with me"
tired sundial
I named my prawn Da baby in my hardcore subnautica
tired sundial
Mhm tyty
stoic cargo
but now I don't build moonpools so no naming or colours
cobalt stump
why do you not build moonpools?
jovial tiger
Moon pool very important
stoic cargo
because cell chargers are much more efficient
jovial tiger
No
stoic cargo
yes
jovial tiger
Moonpool
cobalt stump
i dont even know where cell chargers are at
stoic cargo
cell charger uses less power and is faster
cobalt stump
ah
i just use moonpool tho since theres a blueprint at both marguerit's base and the mining place
jovial tiger
at least you dont have to go out and put it back in and with moonpool you can get in your base easily
stoic cargo
arrive back at base > swap spare batteries with partly used cell batteries on prawn and seatruck > go inside and swap charged cells will cells needing charge in the charger .... done
jovial tiger
Ehhh
cobalt stump
yeah but for moonpool you do dock undock
jovial tiger
using bed can fast forward time for battery recharge
stoic cargo
cell charger is very very fast
cobalt stump
i built it once and only used it once
stoic cargo
battery charger is slow
cobalt stump
how else do you charge batteries
stoic cargo
charge fins
cobalt stump
charge fins mainly just charge the seaglide 99 percent of the time
stoic cargo
any battery I put in my seaglide ends up getting charged
jovial tiger
On the go
cobalt stump
true
stoic cargo
I just wish that the mining helmet was a shoulder light instead so you could swap it with the scanner room HUD
cobalt stump
yeah that would be nice
since your gonna want to use the rebreather for basically anything underwater and the cold suit helmet for anything not underwater
so no real good time for the mining helmet
stoic cargo
it would be useful early game but not an early game item really
cobalt stump
true
but you need an ion battery to build it
scanning 6 architect artifacts isn't exactly an early game thing to do
stoic cargo
yep, not an early game item both in terms of finding it and recipe
cobalt stump
the only time you can use a mining helmet is inside a vehicle or base most of the time
outside of a base or traveling to a deeper place your rarely gonna be above 100m
stoic cargo
I have used it a bit inside arctic caves ... no heat issues there
stoic cargo
but a pain to swap
stoic cargo
or maybe inside that water part of the glacial basin
yes that is good too ... seaglide light can be a bit crap
cobalt stump
thats a good point i never thought of
you still have the seaglide and flashlight
to use for light
stoic cargo
I think the hardest thing for new players in this game is finding BPs. Like the rebreather is important and hard to find. The seaglide parts are numerous and everywhere
cobalt stump
rebreather isn't that hard to find
as soon as you see one of the green pillars your right next to the rebreather bp
oh you said new players nevermind lol
stoic cargo
someone not using social media (like Discord, Steam forums or Reddit) and not using the Wiki may find some parts of this game frustrating
seamonkey nests etc can be confusing as to what you have already visited
cobalt stump
yeah
i have 1/2 parts of the afterburner and horsepower upgrades but litteraly every single nest in the lilypad crevice area has either a prawn suit thermal reactor upgrade or nothing in it
stoic cargo
you can always use the seamonkey nests page on the wiki ... it is mostly up to date
cobalt stump
i did
but it only shows the bp's that can be in the nests
i've already checked every nest yet theres only 1 of the afterburner and horsepower upgrades
stoic cargo
oh I got all from nests I think
coarse sparrow
oh I got all from nests I think
how may horsepower upgrades are in the game
cobalt stump
the horsepower upgrade is in the lilypad crevice sea monkey nests
stoic cargo
3 fragments I think and you need 2 fragments for a BP
cobalt stump
but i can only find a single buleprint
fragment not blueprint*
same with afterburner
unless theres some hidden nests near the entrance of deep lilypad islands then i've checked every nest
stoic cargo
often I need to swam around a nest to get an angle where the item shows
coarse sparrow
i get the game little bit spoiled so i am not swimming out there like a dumdum
cobalt stump
also random question, where would you even be able to use the thermal reactor upgrade for the prawn suit
coarse sparrow
also random question, where would you even be able to use the thermal reactor up...
purple vents?
cobalt stump
true
coarse sparrow
you know subnauticas LOGIC IS flawed
cobalt stump
i mean the heat on the bottom right of the seatruck menu thing goes from like 20 c to 50 c when above a purple vent
so that most likely works
coarse sparrow
how can kyanite exist in SBZ if there is no high temp and high pressure
cobalt stump
crystal caverns
coarse sparrow
i mean the heat on the bottom right of the seatruck menu thing goes from like 20...
yes
cobalt stump
theres an entrance to crystal caverns from deep purple vents
coarse sparrow
crystal caverns
but in crystal caverans there is no high temp nor high pressure
for kyanite to form
cobalt stump
i mean it depends on if you think 500-800 meters is high pressure
cobalt stump
true
coarse sparrow
we should ask a dev about this
stoic cargo
also random question, where would you even be able to use the thermal reactor up...
actually in heaps of places .... the reactor kicks in at 30c and most of the deep crystal caverns is at this termperature
cobalt stump
also the kyanite probably formed because the crystal caverns is made of crystals
ah thats handy
magic pendant
How much the game with change with the release patch? Is it fine to slowly start playing now?
coarse sparrow

30 degrees is nothing
cobalt stump
the only thing that changes at release is bug fixes and the ending releases
the entire game is finished except for the very very end
stoic cargo
30 degrees is nothing
yep the thermal charger is kinda OP in that respect
magic pendant
Nice! Thank you
cobalt stump
i would reccomend starting now and once you've got to the part where you can't do anything just wait until the full release to escape
coarse sparrow
yep the thermal charger is kinda OP in that respect
we have 35 degree celcius out here
cobalt stump
so i would assume i should make the thermal charger
since i need to enter the crystal caves for the organs
stoic cargo
if going mining then yes

hey if i pre order the game i would play it on 12 but the release date is 14
cold pumice
but in crystal caverans there is no high temp nor high pressure
There’s no reason to believe the kyanite didn’t form hundreds or thousands of years before getting pushed to the surface, no?
stoic cargo
but prawn isn't handy for getting organs or for fabrication ... just use seatruck for that
cobalt stump
alrighty

Yep

thats what i did the first time i entered since i didn't have mk3 truck / mk2 prawn

yes but graphically disappointing

the wiki tells so

stoic cargo
and the artic land bit used to be a pain .... now it is quite quick
cold pumice
I mean yeah, the scanner’s gotta have a purpose... but It’s free titanium
stoic cargo
you don't need to even use the glacier tunnel connection
cold pumice
Oh yeah I haven’t scanned the warp crystals yet
cobalt stump
theres a tunnel?
cold pumice
Yeah
cobalt stump
i always go to glacial bay
cold pumice
But you have to cut it out from the other side
stoic cargo
I was surprised when I got to the bridge and could see ocean lol
cold pumice
And you better hve a prawn suit or you’ll drown
stoic cargo
so different

And you better hve a prawn suit or you’ll drown
for the tunnel? no there is ice you can cut through with a laser cutter which then provides an oxygen vent
