Hmmm.... So you're telling me I can play the full game right now google?
'Initial release' means Early Access release
it does say "initial"
I know, its a joke

I dont want ya'll to call me out for a goddamn joke, im not dumb
Maybe keep the attitude in check, yeah?
google sucks for not showing store links though
yea sorry my tone is just like that sometimes, my bad
and thank you for your hard work! Im a huge fan of the subnautica universe
My taxi don't know the right way ._.
ay this thing is really nice, it goes to the surface so i can have oxygen 🙂
I am hoping that if the devs ever decide to go back and do some kind of content update, they improve the Fabricator Caverns since it just seems kind of lackluster
Will we get an update at may 14th? I mean I know that's the release date but I mean will something change at the early game play or can I start play without worries about lost some interesting changes after may 14th?
I believe the release update will just contain the ending and some bug fixes
headlamp requires an Ion battery... 😐
that thing is going to last so long it's going to be a multi-generational heirloom
Now that we've got both games running well on Switch, we're talking about possibly bringing @Subnautica / BelowZero to mobile.
Would you download/buy it?
Question about ||Marguerit Base: since her power supply is all smashed, how does she get power for her habitat?||
Magic
Mobile? Mobile?!
Apparently Mobile is generally more powerful than Switch, so if it can run on Switch
I'm playing it through a linux host, using valve's proton (the SteamPlay thing). Works OK.
And I can stream it to my smartphone device through steam link.
I wish that when you picked up a data doodad and you already knew the blueprint it would tell you what tech it was a duplicate of so you know where that is for a future playthrough
also wondering why the seatruck conveniently uses one power cell completely before switching to the second one but not the Prawn. I was super happy for the recharging quality of life when I got the sea truck :/
Does anyone know if you have to restart your world when the below zero full release comes out
no you don't, sticky has some info
*pinned messages
Is there any reason to keep Cryptosuchus alive or can I get even and punch them all to death now that I've got a Prawn?
I just tried hitting something with my knife in BZ to test a mod I'm making.. nothing happens. Can you even damage things with your knife in Below Zero? :$
Never mind that, I think I broke the functionality myself :$
Please add the trailer music to the jukebox
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love it.
im finally gonna be streaming BZ in 30 minutes. Gonna try to stream and complete whats in the game in time to reach launch day.
Is there some sort of unstuck command? seems very easy to get stuck floating on top of things, usually it eventually resolves itself but im stuck floating on the edge of a rock adn freezing to death
ghost
?
hmm, wiki says using commands turns off achievements :/
yes
I've had early access on the PC forever but been waiting for the full release.. I guess it's safe to assume the game is complete and I could start playing between now and the 14th and have a smooth and complete experience?
I would presume this final stretch before the release date is after the complete game has been submitted to online stores for verification?
Final part of the story opens up at release
oooh ok, awesome then, thank you. I didn't see that anywhere.. I'll wait that little bit longer 😊
I'm not waiting, playing now lol
Almost got the max depth upgrade for my Sea Truck, don't even have prawn suit yet lol
the final games probably already done. since physical copies have to be made. but the final launch patches are being worked on still
hello, my escape key isnt working in a number of games including below zero does anyone have any potential solutions?
ok barely saved myself after backing up my save and making a new one. If you get stuck floating on something, save and reload and preferably make a backup... jsut in case it doesnt work
One message removed from a suspended account.
Question i was never able to find the purple tables fragments and i just tried today again.
Is it possibl to see them via the scanner room? If i build one
oh i just had to update windows
anyone else get a strange depth message when youre loading your game?
That's just the game processing the crush depth for one of your vehicles, it just shows up during the loading screen
Lol found a bug that lets you swim around inside seatruck compartments but still get oxygen
you have to change your sea truck in the moon pool so it is a different color from the other compartments and instantly connect when you release from moonpool and when you stop driving you can swim around in you compartments
not sure if it is repeatable
it lasts forever ... does not lose charge
if you can't repeat it then you can't be sure that the process you described is the cause
you mean the old coloured tablets to access locations? they got removed from the game
mute this discord ... right click on the fish
no in game
what in game beeping?
|| at both sides of the text
|| beeping that won't stop would disabling the communications tower fix it? it is two beeps a higher tone then another lower town every 2 seconds ||
what is beeping? || the tower||?
walk around and see where it gets louder .... when you move someone else then does it stop?
I have the thing ready imma just do it and see if it stops
ok so you mean the beeping that only started when you went near the tower but you don't know where it is coming from and you have not disabled the tower
it started at my base near the drop pod
I don't know what it is then
it is still going
this is annoying
|| when margarite tells me to go to her greenhouse on top of an iceberg is that the one that also has the big worms in them? and is this where I get the snowfox? ||
it can be hard to find
is there a clip of the sound that I could hear?
i cant think of any other sound that would be beeping
What do I do after reaching this location? There were no new voicelines or beacons to guide me on what to do
have you restarted your game and PC?
yeah that one is a bit vague .... search through the tunnels below
am i supposed to find a rebreather first?
it helps ... what tank are you on? using seaglide? seatruck?
seatruck
seatruck with 150 depth?
yep
yeah you can get close enough to what you want to find to see it and swim the rest of the way
what tank are you on?
no I have not restarted
standard
ok, carrying a couple of bladders for extra oxygen is handy ... or a spare tank ... but you can swim it .... look around those tunnels for signs of a base like lighting sticks
alright thx
look around using your sea truck
also, are tanks or bladders better at storing spare oxygen?
in terms of oxygen per storage slot
or just slave away and get advanced oxygen tank like me oh and get mk2 seatruck depth
bladder is 15 right .... maybe bladders. Get the bigger tank if you can find it
extra tank is just 1 swap though
i see
there are 3 sizes of tank plus a booster tank for speed
tip: scan all objects in seamonkey nests as you find them .... they will be things you need now or later
Thanks
yeah but what after
they meant that i can install it and now add it to below zero?
it has a music player that you can play it with
is there a way to check my current coordinates?
I believe you'd press F1 for that, though it does lag for a second before opening it
Question on how far you can get in the beta story wise
||I'm at the part where I meet up with Alan at the warp gate, when I get there he isn't there. Is this the stopping point until the main game? ||
OH No
this has spoilers doesnt it
so
i heard below zero has ingame music you can play
thats SICK
imma be vibing in my sea truck
That is as far as you can play currently
ah uh afaik you can only put the jukebox in your base, not your truck
There is a module with a Jukebox for the Seatruck
Sleeping Module or something like that it is called
Has a bed and a picture frame as well
Yup, the sleeper module.
oh the sleeping module has a jukebox? I thought it was just a bed my bad
The Relaxation and Rejuvenation Module
yea yea
imma be vibing in my sea truck a lot
i was considering making it my main base, but not enough storage
if it had more then It would be
There can always be more storage
always
You just have to be brave
I had like 20 wall lockers in my main base
in subnautica, then 10 in my cyclops
which then blew up and i got rly sad since i lost ALL my marblemelon
oh does that mean that as I am playing the game now a bunch of music is removed unless I download it? Is the only way to listen to this now through a separate player?
No
I believe they're selling now the official soundtrack
Basically, it's all the songs, either menu or theme songs, downloaded
If you have subnautica, you'll get it for free
That's all, you can now download the musics, and listen to it while gaming a steam game
is cam world pos my current coordinate?
https://i.imgur.com/knVAzr3.jpg
also, this does not look like the shallow twisty bridges biome
yes
is this what i think it is
Finally sat down to play Below Zero now that it's close to being out of testing. Subnautica before was loads of fun, I dumped more time in that game day in and day out then I ever did in most of my games.
poop
Is there gonna be another subnautica game after below zero fully launches?
Yeah, I realise I miss the cyclops. I never realised how much that thing really added to not just the atmosphere of the game but also your strategy. The cyclops was an unwieldy monstrosity whose goal was rather simple: It could be used as a mobile base and offered utility.
What it couldn't do, you had to seek out other alternatives like the SeaMoth or the Prawn such as when you needed to reach extreme depths or had to quickly scout an area around it. It was the epicentre of whatever mission you set yourself out on. It was a workhorse and a platform to be used for exploration, transport of materials, and a safe harbour.
But it couldn't do everything. It created pressure on you to need more bases in Subnautica's original map. It guzzled fuel. It needed upgrades. And all the while it felt like an investment you had to maintain to keep it going so you wouldn't die.
I want to like the Seatruck, I really do. But as I'm coming to find, what made so much of Subnautica to me, what forced me to endure the environment and problem solve, was the cyclops. The seatruck by comparison is just uninteresting. Visually it's nothing special, and for visibility it's atrocious for something to be used in an environment that requires exploration.
It's also very lethargic and cumbersome. There's a trade-off for adding modules for storage or whatever else, but I don't think this actually adds to the seatruck or the game but detracts from it more. And that's the problem I'm having with it. It's pulling me out of the immersion I want in the game, and I'm somewhat disappointed and letdown. Mostly because there's no alternative. I'm using the SeaGlide more to get around and trying to avoid the truck as much as possible.
Any tips for growbeds or food? How do i get the water filtration system inside my base as well?
you need to scan a water filtration system to get it for your base and I usually like to have a separate multipurpose room to grow marblemelons, potatoes, lantern fruit, preston's plant, shrub nuts, and fevered peppers (which I think is all the edible plants anyway lol) the melons, potatoes, and preston's plants each get their own full growbeds while the lantern tree, shrub nut bush, and fevered pepper bush/tree just get small plant pots in the corners
but that's just how I grow my food you can do whatever you like
arent there like food kits that you can make?
On consoles to you have to wait till the release date to actually play the game?
idk about food kits but there is a spicy salad you can make with peppers and preston plant leaves
If you die on survival in below zero, does your lost stuff drop where you died or dissapear forever?
yes
it just drops but if it's on a hill or in the water it might move away slightly from the exact place you died so you'll have to search for them a bit
Thanks, i was rushing around a wreck in a panic trying to find an exit so it should be in there somewhere lol
Is the ||base where you meet alan|| the furthest you can go
I know where his body parts are but are there actual waypoints to them or does the game just want you to search everywhere for them
Yes rad
lol it wants you to search
Likr where you make him
do you want me to give you hints
No I said I know where they are I was just curious if it like has waypoints to them in the main game playthrough
@narrow gale I very much agree - finally heading out into the lava zone in my cyclops was one of the hilights of the game
ohhh ok
yeah i had to look up the tissues and organs even after i checked those areas earlier in the playthrough
Ye tmr is not going to be fun
I've done like all the building I can do now it's just go to the crystal caves etc and get the body parts
So I can get scared shitless then wait for may 14th
Lol
I got so used to the crystal caves way too quickly
i would just go up to the shadow leviathans and shock then then leave
Below zero isn't as scary because the crypto whatever things desensitized me
Yeah. I'm going to look at a few mods, or see if I can add the cyclops into the game. Otherwise, I may just uninstall it and go back to Subnautica. :/ Seems silly to quit a game because I can't like the truck, but it's integral to the gameplay and is just that bad to me.
Hello so I don't have below zero
But I am thinking of buying it
Is it better than subnautica
it covers more on the alien race and alterra
its super good
gameplay is very similar and tons of new items, vehicles, fauna, flora, and biomes
still scary but not as scary
also be careful in this chat for spoilers
If considered as full blown sequel I would probably consider it a bit disappointing, it is IMO more like Subnautica 1.5
It probably should've been a DLC, yea
That's what it feels like to me
Also isn't the old subnautica planet called 4546B
Yep
But they call this new frozen one 4546B?
It's the same planet, just in the arctic region
Oooooh
smaller map as well
Yeah
more vertical
mhm
Honestly if they just added the Seamoth I could get over the seatruck
It's 2/3 the size of the original map, but it's more dense than the original. There was a lot of open nothingness in SN1.
Lol the seatruck is awesome
ehh
I agree with that
The iceburgs help
And lots of plants
unfortunately there are not many of areas that are just fun to go around and explore
I like the glacier place on land
BZ map feels kinda condensed
The openness in some spots kinda added to the horror funnily enough, but was also thematic to the story given the area of the original game was heavily affected by Carare
I mean yeah. This game isn't designed to be as tense so less open space makes sense
It was a good design choice in my opinion
It's alright
Glad they finally settled on a voice actor
Yeah the voice acting and dialogue were awesome
Not at the start, was like every update there was a different actor. I think the pandemic messed with contracting, I really liked the original one they had
Don't forget that some of the map has '2 layers' as a lot of it you can walk on and swim below as well
You know ur talking to a dev right
Oh wait, Hi xd
I bought the game in december and played in on and off until this week where i grinded it so i don't remember multiple actors
Who could forget about the massacre of Obraxis Prime? 😛
Didn't realise
Lolll
I got it a bit after it came out, didn't like the truck didn't wanna spoil to much, decided to wait it out til it got more polished. Didnt do that with the original, I played that religiously every update xD
Forgetting about Obraxis Prime should be a bannable offence 😉
Understandable
But yea, re-adding the seamoth or something small and agile to work in conjunction with the truck could help with the glaring drawbacks of the thing
I am looking forward to making BZ map render to see how big it really is 😄
https://www.deviantart.com/walter-nest/art/Subnautica-Crater-Visualization-830761386
That's looking really cool
So does 4546B have multiple continents you could say?
It's an ocean world mainly
Yeah
I guess it does
There's probably some land mass, realistically
Or regions not continents
Likely archipelagos
Yeah
Well, so is the Earth. More water than land. Not as extreme as 4546B
I wonder if DLC will come out for the original game after below zero or another game
Hopefully they don't stop the series
There was excitement for an Atlas sub for the original a few years ago
Was a bigger sub than cyclops
Oooooh, so possible DLC
That was back in like 2017
Or maybe steam community support/ mod support
There is for nexus
Yeah but its not as easy
for both this and the original, true
I hope some good mods will come out for Below Zero
Like a cyclops import
o.O Kinda like the Gargantuan Leviathan mod that's in development
That would be sickkkk
Also a multiplayer. Might be a bit different because of|| Alan||
Maybe ||alan ||becomes a playable character???
We'll find out after the game is released. Else a mod might do it
Highly unlikely. A lot of coding would need to be added
I think. I know nothing about coding xd
@crimson chasm I need to check out that mod, I am intrigued by how it is animated
The Gargantuan one?
yes
Yea. It's really impressive. I talked to one of the developers for the mod. He said it's soon done
his body seems to articulate dynamically in way similar to "snake" game
I don't think I have seen that implemented in any game
only similar thing I can think of was Hydra in Half-Life 2 Beta - in sense that the body was snake-like and did not have premade animation
(at least I hope it is not faked, that would be a disappointment)
That is way beyond my english understanding lol. English isn't my first language. But yea. It is kinda like snake
There's an MP mod for Subnautica
SO it's doable
So no new vehicles at this point then :/
Yea, MP will be possible in BZ with mods, But probably not playing as ||Alan||
Idk what you would do as him anyways
is the current bz the launch version or do we need to wait for launch?
Is there a console command to put Al-an back inside my head?
I don't think so? because once he's in his own body, putting him back in your head seems like it'd break the game a bit
also he would be stuck typing something in a keyboard
I dunno, can you use console to switch world states? because Al-an status is most likely a world state
so it wont be playable
(also switching world states tends to brick game progress)
Where to get young cotton anemone
deep lilypads iirc
well, where is the root pustule
Been a while since i played if i remember correctly you needed to get a purple tablet if you wanna get to the alien room or whatever in the crystal caves right? So if the tablets are gone what then 🤔
Okay so I’ve been trying to get a play through until release. I am kinda stuck now. When I go to the bridge Alan tells me that there is a strong presence or something. But I simply don’t know where I should go. When I try to find the frozen leviathan I die from hypothermia and I can’t even find it as a ghost
if you have alan in your head he just opens the doors for you when you get close to them
ah wait have you extended the bridge yet?
yep
When has this been changed
Alan tells you that he feels something after you crossed the bridge
idk for sure because it's been a thing since at least before I started playing about a month ago
And while he does say to go north east there just isn't anything there
🤔
hm it's been a while since I was at the bridge bit, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to keep exploring the arctic spires for something though once you can get across
I don't remember very well though so I could be wrong
I mean yeah I can tell I am supposed to keep exploring, the question is just what do I need to find?
That's where the game ends for now until full release
I asume it unlock when the games is officially out?
oh igor could you help miner figure out what they're supposed to find first in the arctic spires
you seem pretty good at helping people and I've kinda forgotten what it was
Would have been nice to know the purple tables thing was removed i been looking for them for hours 😔
How long should we wait?
12 days
bruh
If thats actually the case
yes they have been removed
the tablets are completely gone from the game, now Al-An opens the doors when you're near with him in your head
So i can go to Crystal caves now and build the body without the tablet now?
yes there used to be a purple tablet
if you have all the parts scanned and have the materials for it yes
like 2 updates ago I think
Now this place will be locked until May 14 huh?
Yes that's what 'that's where the game ends before full release' means
uhm igor? Can you help me? haha
@mortal imp
What's up
So let's go back to base and record. See you again on May 14
Okay so I am currently stuck on the bridge part. I've crossed the bridge and alan told me to go north east. The problem is that I don't know what I am searching for or where it is. So I die from hypothermia everytime. Do you know what I am supposed to find and where it is?

you're looking for a body cache in the Arctic Spires and do you want like coordinates for it?
I am looking for a body cache? That helps a lot. Now I've actually found a video leading me to it. So thank you!
You helped me a lot
12
ps players get to play 2 days early
you didnt know that
you are a ps player
oh
you mean 2 years later
are you using a PRAWN? You have a cold suit?
The game is more open and you can do things in different sequences including visiting places before you have the stuff t make them useful. It is more open world
Tbe barriers open for you if you have Al-An
Get a cold suit (recommended) or use a snowfox or prawn suit (keep you warm) cold suit you can unlock in: ||phi robotics||
There's also steam vents all over the place so you could possibly make it without extra stuff but would not recommend. It's also warm in caves
I know how to keep myself from dying. At a certain it just isn’t possible anymore. And I have the suit unlocked I just need to get the fur which is why I don’t have it yet. The prawn suit was also my first thought but it doesn’t fit through everything and since I already got one stuck i really don’t want to loose this one
And the steam vents turn off whenever I need them lol
s
high capacity is in a data pod somewhere, i don't know where
Should I preorder bz or wait?
You should build a PC and start playing tomorrow. Or preorder if you are console. The game is great imo
I’ve got a pc already
A good one
I might..? But then again, it’s only a few days away
then why not just buy now?
should i buy bz on steam or discord
you can buy on discord?
Iike having a Steam library now... I am converted
i got it on steam
so should i get it on steam?
cause in the original i saw there was a rich presence code
im not sure i've never bought anything off discord
I’m getting it on steam on release
how the heck does a pengwing feed a pengling
yeah but like how does that work theyre beaks point straight up
Look in the trailer
Not the cinematic one tho
It’s the early access trailer. They just hork up the whole fish.
it told me to go to the architect phase gate facility after i built al an. there is nothing to do here
i wish there was like a command or something that made it so u dont have to worry about battery's and everything has like unlimited power
is that the end for right now until release?
The parents just toss it in the air and the babies have to catch it
noenergy
idk how to put in commands
Is console enabled?
Wat
Do you know the Sea monkeys ?
u can fight back so they wont take your item
Nono
they are supposed to steal stuff
but
In my game they give me random stuff
If you have alan they do that
u have alan
oh
he tells u this
do the flippers and seaglide stack. like do they're speeds get combined
Ye
ultra glide fins, seaglide and booster tank are the most speed you'll get if you're in water and not in a vehicle
How many music discs are there in the game right now?
will below zero be out on xbox game pass?
not on launch
im wondering if subnautica below zero will get updates after the release, cause if you look at other games. they do that too and idk if subnautica 1 did that? does anyone know this?
guys fast question: Is Below Zero totally playable atm or should i wait for relase date? i held back to avoid spoilers but now i really feel its time to get in to it
I never knew. I thought maybe they gave me stuff cuz I wasn’t harming them
Once they took the mineral detector and I didn’t realize
playable for sure, i dont think i discovered any bugs with the couple of hours i played now
He. They came to my base and dropped it
its playable the only problem is the end isnt finished yet
He
@south trout It is very playable the only mature bugs i found is that i can't take of posters from room separation walls
better to wait then? relase date is close anyway, right?
yeah u have to destroy the wall and then collect them
Yes it is playable but I don’t think u should advance in the story cuz maybe they will change a big part of the game with the full release
In that case ...ima wait ...i dont wanna ruin the fun for my self
No it says that the ending will come out and some bug fixes
I think release date I think is 4 right?
maybe they will fix it on launch. because the wall is being touched by like 5 things i spend minuets on trying to place straight properly 
May 4*
no may 14
don't want to destroy them so i can remove the wall
14
Oops
may 14
Who has sit in subnautica for so long they forget to do their science diorama
Guys if anyone wants to see my master base in subnautica below zero get to the awesome bases channel
i wanted to re-play Subnautica before gettin in to BZ but after beating it like 4 times i just dont have the willpower for a 5th run on Nightmare
Maybe try hardcore?
i prefer ||lillypads biome for a base its really nice when you built a base at the top of the lillypads||
Ironically I haven’t died once at all in both games
i think on hardcore some people play 190 h to make it
But I keep it survival be cuz. Imagine u were just collecting resources in the purple vent spires and a chilaraseret leviathan just chows down on ur head and kills u. Tough luck
nah not true
well anyway....despite my sorrow there's no cyclops in BZ
i still expect cool stuff to see
I honestly feel like the vehicles in bz r a bummer
i do hope BZ stepped up the game with creatures and stuff
I love the ||twisty bridge. It's amazing to look outside and see all the bridges curl around and past your base||
There isn’t anything fun in it
doesn't matter, compare the subnautica map with BZ map then you will see cyclops would just blocks the gameplay in a big part of the map
that i know
just sayin it was my fav ride in the game
on 2nd run i preety much dident build a base anymore ...just went mobile cyclops base
Yeah and if u add more than 1 compartment to ur sea truck u will just get stuck in the small revises
Cyclops? you mean the BEEP BEEP BEEP machine
I call it Kim kardashian
It was nice sure, but i think story based they don't saw a need for a big sub in BZ. Maybe in the next Subnautica will come something like the poseidon or Atlas sub
lol thats best bait for reading spoiler
Exactly
its like
WHAT R U DOING GAME!,! Ur just tempting them to read it
||you|| are beathtaking
Wait what
hahaha Posejdon u say ... xD
How do u do that
thats not BZ
I pinged a message that also talked about base locations so i thought people would understand what i meant 
Nah mine is named Kim kardashian
its not bz
the location is extremely early game so i don't think it's a horrible spoiler
I know its not BZ ....
XD u know the poseidon is ten times bigger and a reaper leviathan would just die if you drive in it
I know it’s not bz I’m talking the sentence blur
i know , just wanted to show how i named my sub
ok so final verdict ...ima wait for the premiere then
I made my sub a mobile home. Like what I did to Kim Kardashian
BURN
When bz fully comes out I’m expecting 8 bit Ryan to play it
its just in you face when you going to ||the habitat little thing|| at the beginning
not Markyplier?
Markiplier is a scaredy cat
lmao
he is but its also overhyped xD
i dont get why people get so scared
they can archer
yesterday i was dodging and avoiding the shrimp when i didnt eeven have a seaglide lol
HONESTLY, the second he goes under 15 meters he screams until my ears explode
i had friends that infact are terrified to dive deep in this game
especially down narrow craveses
It’s called thalasephobia
i found it funny but , being scared of water is a thing it seems
It’s the fear of what’s under water
yes ...that Ryan
Gotta get immersed
planning to go diving with a air cylinder soon
Yo cool
gonna hum subnatutica music in my head as i dive
Base building is still such a great thing in this game, posted some pics in #🏠awesome-bases
You can last much longer underwater with air cylinder irl than in game right
I don’t get a fear of water. Listen. Ironically enough. I got no problem venturing to the lava zone where the sea dragon is. But the thing I’m MOST afraid of is the reaper: 75 vehicle damage. Sonar pulse roar. EXTREMELY fast, mandables that carry u around and in general scary look
Sorta depends but yeah. But they definitely don't just fill up casually irl
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1008489777?t=01h29m17s id guess lots of people would have gone insane. if they where doing what i was doing here.
archer9234 went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Subnautica: Below Zero VOD now.
ye....in the game i did this trick : I always took 5 of em with me and i was swappin em when one strated to run out xD cheap but it worked
Very nice
just gotta remember to refill em manualy before u dive
My base is kinda empty inside
But cool outside
On the delta island beach next to mercury
@stable monolith go check my base pics. It’s a bit more up tho
perhaps the hard question to ask is wich Subnautica is better
equal? hmmmm
BZ is definetly more story driven
i am a bit disappointed about the squid sharks. at first they are scary but it doesn't take long to realize you can just drive almost straight past them with the seatruck. (please don't tell me about other leviathans. Except for one other is still have to discover most)
Is bz really more story driven tho
Is BZ worth it? I will only have 8.50 euro left if I buy it
Both games have similar chain of events but difference is in bz npcs talk to you
imo it is
but just watch some vids about it if you arent sure
Yea if you like the exploration and optional sides, main story is a little short
story is short but its also a smaller map so its understandable i think
Ive realised I hang around the discord of games I like so the game must be good lol
Hold up- I can spend 25 euro to my already 5 euro on my account-so- I can save a bit more and yes I like exploring. Tbh, none of the leviathans are scary. At least less scary than normal subnautica
i only say ||PERIMETER DEFENSE|| rules the ocean
what does it do?
it shocks enemies
you will find out but as i said it rules the ocean
I think i will spend my 25 on the game, it seems so fun
i just did a 2 hr stream on it. but it would spoil a lot of begining stuff
I liked it less than sub 1 but still pretty good. It's got a heavier focus on the story and a smaller map
I can get it on Friday 🙂
What ever you find pretty
true but i still think its worth it, and you cannot really compare the two cause they are just different in their own way
if you look at (a stupid game example sorry) Runescape 3 and Oldschool Runescape, OSRS is a 2007 remake (sort of) of RS3 from a backup. but it just became sooo different in its own way, you cant compare it anymore with the newer game
thats what i think atleast
but like, this is the perfect game to while you play, watch videos of other things or watch some anime or whatever if you have 2 monitors, thats what i always do atleast
Yeah I didn't say sub 1 is better than BZ just that I liked it more
Dangerous or nah?
@iron scroll nope
Harmless, glow whales are just like sub 1s reefbacks (although nothing special on them)
Damn they're huge
shaped like a fren
that thang bussin
they do eat you alive if you go in their mouth
what is his mission?
yeah i know dw, was just explaining what i think xd
that looks like a cool base, can you maybe show the base fully? love seeing bases 😮
uhh yeah it isnt ready but i can post some in awsome-bases
Does sun panels work less efficient the deeper it gets?
yes
yes but u can use the energy transmitters
Because idk where I want to make my first base, I was thinking at the geysers but that requires thermal plant which is difficult to make
this is below zero
I only need magnetite but I dont think I can get it
ore veins on land in most places
on land? I thought it was in deep lily pad cave
hidden in deeper areas around delta island
How do I get it from the ore veins?
spy pengling

Ehh what? How do I get magnetite from those
u find caves that are for spy penglings
I havn't unlocked spy penglings yet, are they required?
its the best way to get a lot
There are some ore veins on land that have quite alot 
just around you'll find them and now i vanish into the mist
veins u jsut grab
man i dont wanna kill him, because it would take years and he isn't interessted to eat me
someone knows how i can free him without destroying my base
I’m afraid not. Try giving him a shock from the perimeter defense module?
doesn't help
Time to use a prawn suit then.
ah i got it but i destroyed a part of my base
dont bother they will always get jammed
Don’t build there 😂
none of the animals understand how to back up or rotate 180
these things suck just block building my base everytime
what the **** i will build my base never again here
i wish they would just make whales avoid bases dont even attempt to go near like 200m
Near ||phi robotics centre|| and in the crystal caves
Sorry was meant to reply to the other message but those are where i found all of mine
where is the ultra high capacity tank blueprint
lilpad monkey nests
wrong chat
lol i did the airbladder thing and i flew 20 meters up and was like floating
@simple viper do you know what you did in the game to trigger alan to tell you to go northeast
can i somehow load a specefic save from my survival world?
no u have to manually back it up
how
copy from the save folder
this is all what i have in my saved games folder what should i copy
wait is it a mod or are titanium ingots really only x5 titanium needed?
its normal
okay then im not crazy lol
u copy the sav0000 folder itself
but i want to load a specefic save from it
i said u cant
ud have to back up the game before that point and restore
its like minecraft
what after i copied it
than you put it back and play the game from that old save
uhh so i can chosse from what save i want to go on ?
if u back up things yourself yes
k i will try
No, i can't it just the save i had before but the safe i want to load is like 4 saves ago and not one
I have Subnautica, and Subnautica Below Zero. I got the original soundtrack for Subnautica, but for the Below Zero not. Where can i get help?
omg i just said the game doesnt do what you want. you had to have backed it up yourself from 4 hours ago
than restore it
yeah but u said i should just copy it and paste it in there again ?!
why are my feet in the ground l0l
so i have to look what was the last save and copy it?
Is there an official ending to subnautica below zero? that is, will we see the end credits as in the first part?
u have to wait for may 14
@frozen dew i really don't know what you mean, you said copy it and drag it there again and now something with backing up but hell what should i back up when i doesnt know where i can see my saves
does console command works for u guys?
you have to enable the console
its disabled by deffault
and you will shut off achivements when you turn it on
i click ` f1 and f2 and it dont work
yes after a reload you have to bring up the F menus once for it to make the tilda key work again
wut
start the game. hit a function key. reactivates the console button
if youre trying to use console commands for the first time. you need to enable it first
i press tilda f1 and f2 and it nothing show up
check ifs its enabled
Does the scanning room detect sea monkey nests?
just got below zero 😎
pog bz comes on friday
Hello
so uhh does anyone know if you can find every ||parallel processing unit in the same ship parts all 3 of em||?
nvm looked up a guide and found it
lol okay i gotta say, im not even scared of the red leviathan thing that swims in the purple vents, it got me and i didnt get jumpscared
you mean the shrimp ? XD
Yeah below zero ain't really scary like subnautica was
where are the fragments for the grappling arm?
Sea Monkey Nests within the Lilypads Crevice. Like in Subnautica, you're going to need to find 2 Fragments.
yeah, i found one and i thought it was in koppa mining site
dont remember for sure though
Drilling arm more like
You can also find jet upgrade in the upgrade console inside the mine
It’s located near by bunch of destroyed prawns
If you haven’t already of course
how deep are the grappling arm fragments? can i get to them with just a prawn? (400m)
is this something I need to craft? Im a little soft stuck and dont know what to do to procras :/
I found mine around 200-300.
Yes, thing to scan is like right beside it
Thanks
the prawn suit is very wacky on land
you can just fly, at the end of day
idk if its a bug or not, but like. am i meant to be able to do this>
oh yeah right, the shrimp idd xD
no but srsly, the game is really fun, and i think its even better cause i aint scared but it still has subnautica features etc
for me its like a survival game with a little bit of spooks
not like subnautica was
but i guess everyone knows it isnt scary anymore
ermm whales need oxygen
Eat!!!
so I don't actually have Below Zero because PS4 and also no money but I just started listening to the soundtrack and it's definitely Ben Prunty's work. reminds me of his work on FTL
Weird... it's almost as if he composed music for both.
just kinda cool to me that I can hear how similar they are
Yeah... I guess I is cool.
Hey, when i was at the Koppa mine or whatever, there was a prawn drill arm fragment i couldnt scan, so i only have 1/2, is there any more of them or is it just a bug
is subzero on the same planet as subnautica?
I walked over the bridge
@tough rain Yes ||the game takes place a few years after part one||
thanks, not gonna click on the spolier tab because im like mid way throw the game and scared of spoilers
it's something that get's told at the begging of the game and mentioned in most pda entries
i recommend reading the enteries on things you scan that aren't plants and small animals
there is a lot of information and lore in it and the devs did such a good job of making such an interesting world
Thank you so much for your lovely work devs

s p i c y s a l a d
While I await the excruciatingly long 12 days for the release on console, I have but two questions about the game.. Is the seamoth in game? And will the official soundtrack be released when the game does?
No seamoth is not in game and soundtrack already released you can find it on Spotify under Ben Prunty's profile or buy it on steam
No seamoth? Dang..
yeah the seamoth and cyclops have been replaced by the seatruck
I didn't like the cyclops anyway tbh. Best thing out of it was the abandon ship track.
wouldnt it be cool if you had to use a laser cutter to open the doors on the abandoned altera bases on land? like maybe they are frozen shut so you have to melt em open
also why is the title screen black with no background?
Can you add any objects to any of the seatruck modules? like a fabricator or plant pot?
You can’t build inside the modules unfortunately.
does the fabricator module just fabricate upgrades or does it do normal fabrication as well?
i think normal as well
oh, i need to find the rest of those pieces quickly then 😛 The text seemed to indicate it just made seatruck upgrades
are we not gonna talk about how they made the seaglide map in below zero semi usefull? it actually looks good too!
I still turn it off xD
oh I didn't notice they changed the map, I was more excited to be able to just press F to turn it off instead of flicking my lights on and off to do it
This 😂
yeah i wont be using it, but it looks much better!
im waiting until release to start below zero anyways, i haven't finished my subnautica play through yet but i just got into the lost river.
i hope they make a mod for below zero where the chelicerates look like the void variants everywhere, they just look like big shrimp normaly
Hi guys, does anyone know whether Alan will (eventually) give signal locations for every artifact that need to be scanned? Or do I need to explore elsewhere at some point?
afaik he only gives you 6 and the rest you have to explore to find yourself
what do I use snow vehicle for?
Im p sure I got everything from the island the froz levi
hELLO?
Caps lock
Something small, the snow fox hover pad should require a titanium ingot like the vehicle bay does because right now it’s less expensive then a spy penguin
Dangerous?
Did the trailer music get released?
Or is this passive
Danger
yes it will come at you even in the seatruck
not yet
@placid wasp I mean what do I use the vehicle for
did you guys know you can spawn warpers? they don't have textures but will still teleport around, the cheat code is "spawn warper"
thats neat
the snowfox is meant to be a faster way of travelling on land, especially in the arctic spires, but not a lot of people use them because they turn really bad and the prawn is generally better to use on land anyway
I mean. to most people they would be yes
Not really it can be faster with the hop module
also where can I get magnetite
yeah but the steering is still horrid
Damn
i hope they give the shower, sink, etc proper icons, they look unpolished in the builder tool menu as of now
can u find lithium in the deep twisty bridges?
if u go right next to the deep twisty bridges theres 2 biomes filled to the brim with lithium
i only know for certian that its in the purple vents area
thermal spikes and purple vents both are pretty safe
except the big duck predators but they do barely any dmg and 1 hit of any knife will make em run away
the shark things can be detered with any sort of dmg
even a ram via seatruck
ok so i can just hop in a seatruck and bassically tank their hits?
u can tank their hits naked too
theyre really weak
even a small stab with basic knife will make em run away
think of em like the creatures in sub 1 in the grass area
I have WAY to much food
they look scary but are weak
I got inf food via spicy salad farm
also inf water due to the water filtration
but where can I get magnetite I really need some
have two large alien containment's with peepers, spinner fish, and red feather fish
a ton of antennae plants
multiple marble melons
all of those are p bad food
spicy salad farm
just get 2 boxes 1 for preston and 1 food spicy chili and u got inf max food
I got like three preston's plants
question, where should i go to start going deep enough to find ||kyanite||?
purple vents
and two pepper plants
if u search around the biome theres a big cave
I can't deconstruct my moonpool, it says "storage not empty" but the only thing i had constructed in the room was a vehicle console and i deconstructed that already
tysm much appreciated
and alot of salt
u need only 1 plant for each of em for inf food for ur player
chinese potatoes are bad right
also I live right next to the anemone heart biome, should start eating those
for water mostly
Good for water
man I hate the seatrucks blue lights
same
oh god jesus no ||jumbo shrimp||
ha, I have breeding program for those
Best way to just get 2 magnetite?
I don't have these walking drone things
phi robotic center back cave. ||use propulsion cannon to move crates||
Phi robotic center back cave?
Havn't seen that before
is there any use for magnetite
||it's a land base to the west||
thermal plants to geenrate power
So it's not under water?
that's right
I've never been in that direction I think, only around delta island
I used to eat a ton of shrub nuts
On google the base is underwater though?
||there are five bases, omega and koppa are underwater, phi zero and delta are on land||
Pretty sure I'm here but I cant get up
so antenna fruits are worth 20 food each, one fruit per plant that regrow, I have 9 plants
also 9 health each
so I can reach full food with 5
anyone wanna watch me do dumb stuff in subnautica below zero?
can anyone else not harvest snow stalker fur?
Are you using the Spy Pengling?
ya
Save and reload.
Do I need prawn suit to get across?
you have to fix the bridge
Yo! If I start playing Below Zero now, would I regret it when the game officially comes out?
just wait for 12 days
where do I get magnetite
This is lily pads biome right?
@fickle sedge some in the thermal spires area and deep mushroom caves
yup
yeah thats it
they should be on these mostly
these floating rock chunks
what
i explored too far in the map i think
Cant find any
@hot jewel I'm gonna be heading to the artic spires for alan body part should I use the prawn instead of the snowfox like what is safer
its bugged i think
idrk how to help then
I usually get my gel sacks from the deep twisty bridges anyway
what do those look like?
I'd assume the prawn is safer since you're inside of it and it can tank a few hits before needing to be repaired
I usually just haphazardly run through the arctic spires so idk for sure lol
yhose only spawn when in the void, so where ever you are there isnt anything to find, turn back
Ye that sounds safer and then I have a reason to use it lol should I run drill arm with grapple
It looks like it does on this picture right? https://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/Gel_Sack
yes
Vald I'd go to twisty bridges
uhhhh
There are some on way to marg base also
ok is there anything I need in the crystal caves ive scanned shadow levi got 19 magetite enough kyanite for 3 playthrus
So right below where u r in lily pad area
I don't think they're on lily pad islands
what?
theres 1 red in lily pads if im right
How? i think i got too far in the void
I got jumpscared by it when I was scanning squid shark
I am looking at the wiki, they are there, but the deep twisty bridges is usually better for gel sacks imo
maybe youve gottem let em kill ya to respawn
I have all the stuff that i need
i wont do that
deep twisty bridges is worse then deep lily pads
oof
theyre around the caves
I can only go to 300 meters
does the water filtration machine not provide water?
On the islands?
it does
cause i cant fill my thermos
not on the islands
at the ground in the caves
theres a bunch enough for the whole game in there
Thermos uses coffee i think?
or does this thing just spawn water
Thermos are for coffe machines
water filtration machines just make water bottles after a few minutes
this
fun fact: you can leave your truck just above the 300m line then swim the rest of the way there or perhaps even use your seaglide
there's plenty of o2 plants down there too
they also make salt
What i learned from BZ is that this game really encourages you to go deeper then your seatruck can go by going out of it and swimming the way.
Under 300m?
twisty bridges goes down to about 400 but you can find gel sacks at about 320 just above the caves
there are diamonds in the caves though but also 2 squidsharks
in the lilypad caves theres no enemies and a bunch of sea monkey nests with good frags
just dont go exploring too far down or u might run into crystal caves with a shadow levi
hud chip
you make it in the scanner room
it allows you to see what the scanner room is scanning
really good for gathering stuff
^ and as for the suit/gloves, you could get those pieces of a cold suit
@stable monolith I said I got both scanner chips
that is what you put in that slot though
theres 4 slots
..there is only one hud chip
I think you may have made the upgrades instead
I filled 3

wdym
we aren't talking about the upgrades
one of the things you craft in the scanner room module is the hud chip
you put that in that slot
simple as that
this?
yes
yeah
I alr have that
then equip it
It alr is
Where should I build my first base?
then why are you asking?
then do you have a compass? that's the only other thing that goes in a slot like that
Like which biome
Im asking what to put in the 4th slot
what 4th slot??
what?
Does one of my mods add a 4th slot
what 4th slot
I dont think so but it might
4th slot of what
the hud upgrades
scanner room?
if you have mods on your game, we can't help
you can add more then 1 of the same upgrades
you get two chip slots, one for compass, one for scanner
so one of my mods add 2 slots :/
Is it good to start my first base at geysers? I just got everything for a thermal plant
if you are modding don't ask questions here
okay but we don't know about the mod so we can't help with that
Or should I make it at purple vent biome thing
ask them to the mod maker
