[stable monolith]

@iron scroll doesn't matter where

[fickle sedge]

A good place to build is between thermal spikes and the twisty bridges

It kinda does

[stable monolith]

because biogenartor is super good

[iron scroll]

thermal spikes?

[fickle sedge]

biogen is bad wdym

its not permenant

thermal spikes or thermal spires dont remember which

[stable monolith]

for early game it's great

[fickle sedge]

he has thermal plant

[iron scroll]

Ahhh those, but where should I then place the thermal plant?

[stable monolith]

yes and i am saying it's better to make a biogen and place it where there are resources he needs

[fickle sedge]

theres a bunch of undeground heat sources

[iron scroll]

On top of a thermal spire?

[jagged stratus]

Can anyone tell me how to get to the freaking frozen leviathan, I’m lost

[stable monolith]

game isn't finished yet

[fickle sedge]

use power transmitters

[iron scroll]

What are those

[stable monolith]

the ending isn't done

[fickle sedge]

kylie u can get to frozen levi alr

[stable monolith]

really

[fickle sedge]

yea

[jagged stratus]

I know I just want to see it

[stable monolith]

oh i must have missed a update

[fickle sedge]

Its ben in the game for a while p sure

[iron scroll]

What is the most recent update?

[fickle sedge]

idk go to main menu

[stable monolith]

sea worthy update i think

[wanton moth]

Where do you find squid sharks guys?

[stable monolith]

everyone

it's horrible

[fickle sedge]

are the heat sorces @iron scroll

[stable monolith]

[fickle sedge]

lily pad biome and deep bridges are spawn areas I know

[stable monolith]

god they are everywhere

[fickle sedge]

whats everywhere

[stable monolith]

i am just joking about how many there are

2 in deep twisty bridges

[hot jewel]

lilypads, deep lilypads, and deep bridges I think

[stable monolith]

about 5 or 6 in lily pad

[fickle sedge]

theres some in deep lily?

[stable monolith]

1 in the orange mushroom biome (forgot the name)

[languid chasm]

they should be in every biome including glacial bay and basin

[stable monolith]

and that is all that i found

[fickle sedge]

agreed

[stable monolith]

i disagree

they are leviathan class so i think they should be kept more minimal to stay special like most leviathans

[hot jewel]

ehhhh they're not really a leviathan bc they're put under carnivores instead of leviathans in the pda

[languid chasm]

they are taking over

[stable monolith]

A leviathan-class predator at the smaller end of the scale, with complex, squid-like adaptations which allow it to hunt a wide range of prey.

-Expels swallowed seawater through vents on either side of its body, providing slow and steady jet propulsion, or terrifying bursts of speed

-An internal jaw can be extended and clamped down around small prey, dragging them inside the mouth whole

-Two blue, electrified tentacles drag beneath its body, used to perform hit and run attacks on larger, slower targets, subduing them over time

this is what the PDA says

[hot jewel]

yeah I know what the pda entry says :/ but if it were a true leviathan it'd be put under the leviathan tab, not the carnivore tab

no it's not really a levi

[stable monolith]

it says it is leviathan though

[hot jewel]

then why is it not in the leviathan tab

[languid chasm]

its tiny little baby

[stable monolith]

thank you for telling i will send a bug repport soon that it is in the wrong section

i think it's a bug atleast

[hot jewel]

I'm like 99% sure it's not a bug and was put there on purpose
if it were a bug it'd have been noticed by now

[stable monolith]

why call it leviathan if it aint leviathan

[jovial tiger]

we need a pog whale emoji thing for the discord sever

[hot jewel]

that's exactly what I'm asking you
why are you calling it a leviathan when it's been purposefully put in the carnivores tab instead of the leviathan tab

[stable monolith]

the pda says it's both a leviathan and not a leviathan. Just because it is not in the tab and it is in the discription means it is one and not one just as much

i said that weird

what i mean is that it says 2 things. And tab doesn't overide discription both our arguments have equal values

we are both equally right until one or the other is changed

[hot jewel]

sure I guess

[fickle sedge]

Got 4 thermal plants and finally got rid of those solar panels

[stable monolith]

I call it... Schrödinger's Squidshark

[amber arch]

I would vote not a leviathan - the fluff says it is leviathan-class - in original Subnautica PDA mentioned leviathan-class signatures, so presumably leviathan-class is any sufficiently big animal

[vale thistle]

Does the bioreactor continue to burn fuel once the base is fully charged, or only when it's actually charging?

[fickle sedge]

u shouldnt use bioreactor unless ur early game

[vale thistle]

I am early game

[fickle sedge]

and u can get thermal thing really early game

so bioreactor doesnt really have a place ingame

u should use solar panels untill u get thermal

[vale thistle]

really? seems pretty good to me...keep a plant pot nearby and its easy to keep topped up with very low resource requirements. I'm just wondering how long a reactor would last at an outpost if it's not using energy

[fickle sedge]

its a bit annoying to have to refuel em perm energy sources are much better and simple

[amber arch]

build your base at the edge of twisty bridges where are the thermal vents and you should be set for a thermal power plant

[fickle sedge]

how do I break this laser cutter and drill not working

[next current]

You have to laser cut it from the other side.

The other side is across the bridge, in the Arctic Spires.

[timber pivot]

i use bioreactor right now in late game

[fickle sedge]

ur weird

[timber pivot]

with a massive tube to the surface with like 10 solar panels

i have a 4 layer aquarium

so i have like 400 red feather fish / bladder fish at all times

thus giving me infinite power

[fickle sedge]

4 thermal reactors power a large room max scanner 2 moonpools power room and a bunch of things in there

but dont u have to put the fishes in the reactor?

@timber pivot

[timber pivot]

i do

i jam like 50 fish in the reactor/hour

50 fish/hour is pretty effiecient

when i make like 20 fish every ten minutes

and i have latern fruit when i dont have any fish

so that was my ted talk on why bioreactor is chad

i only have and need 1

(with like 8 solar panels to support it)

[vale thistle]

i put 2 in mine just to increase the max power storage

[fickle sedge]

having to put fuel in something every hour sounds like a major pain

thermal needs to maintence or work its pog

[vale thistle]

thermal can only be set up in specific locations...bioreactor can be set up anywhere

[timber pivot]

its not really

i also have solar

[fickle sedge]

not really azatae

power trassmitters

[timber pivot]

im gonna make a land base

in the glacial basin or ice spikes

[fickle sedge]

once I set up my energy I never have to look or think about it

[timber pivot]

my current base is in the tree spires

[timber pivot]

nuclear reactor is like the best battery ever

[next current]

Yeah... But that's just extra pieces of gold and titanium used.

[fickle sedge]

but no extra work

[timber pivot]

it gives you heck tons of power storage

[fickle sedge]

or having to make a 6 story high tank

thats much more expensive then some trasnmitters

[timber pivot]

its fun though

i love having fish

because they look really cool

[fickle sedge]

but u kill em via bioreactor u monster

[next current]

You gonna put power transmitters leading from the Thermal Spires or the Purple Vents to lets say... the Arctic Spires, or on top of a Lilypad?

[timber pivot]

they look cool and produce energy / food

[timber pivot]

only bladderfish and featherfish

everything else like my sea monkeys i do not kill

[next current]

In conclusion, let others use what they want.

[fickle sedge]

I never said they couldnt

I said that thermal is better 9 out of 10 times

and it is and I stand by it till my death

[timber pivot]

its just a friendly little debate on best power source

every power source has pros/cons

[next current]

.__.

[fickle sedge]

whatcha .___. bout

[next current]

o__o

0__0

[timber pivot]

solar : can produce metric heck tons of power but at night are really useless + low power capacity

bio: really easy to fuel , high maintenance

thermal: needs tons of effort to set up , but afterwards 0 maintenance

nuclear: super resource intensive but unholy power creation

[fickle sedge]

best combo is solar and thermal for long playthroughs or solar + bio

[timber pivot]

yeah

solar is S tier support

but an F tier main power source

[fickle sedge]

agreed

its only used for main power at extremeely early game

[timber pivot]

yeah

[fickle sedge]

and funny thing is I found my base builder when I was mid to late game

[timber pivot]

looool

bio's main advantage is that it's DIRT cheap

[fickle sedge]

yep

[timber pivot]

like literally dirt cheap

like actual plants

but then thermal

[fickle sedge]

also thermal to setup is expensive and can be only done late game

[timber pivot]

costs quite a bit to set up , but afterwards is 0 maintenance

[fickle sedge]

cuz of the amount of magnetite

thats what I love about thermal

[timber pivot]

nuclear is a bit

odd

[fickle sedge]

I started with 6 solars and 1 thermal

and ender with 4 thermals 0 solars

[timber pivot]

most resource needing power source in the game

but uh , it produces unholy amounts of power and has the capacity of a blackhole

nuclear needs 0 support

[fickle sedge]

yep

but damn is it expensive

tbh nuclear is a better bio

more power more storage and medium maintenence

[timber pivot]

but it takes up so much resources that it's not viable at all if you dont explore for urananite regularly

[fickle sedge]

its just expensive once in a while

[timber pivot]

wait...

[fickle sedge]

nah nuclear rods last for a while

[timber pivot]

i live in the tree spires

where urananite is very common in the fissures

i should switch to nuclear and have bio as a support for when i cant find any urananite

[fickle sedge]

doesnt tree spires have the big ocopus tree things

meaning it has thermal energy

[bold relic]

so im playing below zero rn

[timber pivot]

yes

[bold relic]

anddd does anyone know whre to find diamonds?

[timber pivot]

tree spires is power central

[fickle sedge]

gratz rhys

[timber pivot]

volcanos

[fickle sedge]

look in underground thermal spires

[timber pivot]

go in them and find veins

[bold relic]

like in the volcanic area where tho black scary things are

or the greenish place

[timber pivot]

the volcanoes are easiest to find in the black scary guy zone

[bold relic]

theyre so fast

and scary

butt ill try thanks a lot

[timber pivot]

they are like

not that scary actually

[fickle sedge]

@bold relic the black scary things are the biggest joke in the game

u do even 0.00001 dmg to them and they run away

[timber pivot]

one knife slash , prawn hit or submarine smash will make them run to the fences

[fickle sedge]

and they do 0 dmg

[bold relic]

to me theyre terrifying

[fickle sedge]

they look and sound scary but are like the grass monsters in sub 1

[bold relic]

they killed me b4 i made the seatruck

[fickle sedge]

theyre scary but weak

and they hella easy to juke and with seamoth u outspeed em

[bold relic]

i shat myself lmao

[fickle sedge]

f

[bold relic]

AHH

[timber pivot]

RAM HIM

[fickle sedge]

just ram it

[timber pivot]

they run if you even bump into them

[bold relic]

HE WAS CHASING ME

[fickle sedge]

a good ram with it will insta kill it

they are so weak its funny

[bold relic]

wait are you guys being serious

[timber pivot]

yes

[bold relic]

if i ram into it itll run

[fickle sedge]

the shark ray things in the bridges are stronger

itll kill him

[bold relic]

ill try

[fickle sedge]

theyre mega weak

the definition of all bark no bite

[bold relic]

wow

i 1 punched that mofo LMAO holy balls there weak as f

[timber pivot]

they're like chelicerates but with an attack of like 13 , a blind charge without turns only 75 hp and a dmg intake that makes them run of like 5

[fickle sedge]

also theres this shadow leviathan which is super scary but a quick ram or knife stab will make it run away

[timber pivot]

shadow leviathan is a joke

[bold relic]

where are the diamonds

im at the thing

[timber pivot]

thermal caves

[fickle sedge]

just search for a cave and search thru those

[timber pivot]

or like 90% of the deep biomes

[fickle sedge]

theres a big collection of caves that goes into a huge mining area

[bold relic]

no clue where those are

[fickle sedge]

once u get into thermal caves u cant die if ur not stupid and dont run into the fire

[mortal wren]

much less scarier than the leviathans from the original game

:(

[narrow gale]

Is there a sonar module for the sea truck?

or well sonar upgrade

also found a mod that makes the sea truck far less like a ton of bricks

so that's kinda nice

[vale thistle]

For anyone else wondering, i've tested it and the bioreactor doesn't appear to use fuel if theres no power draw. I filled a bioreactor a few hours ago with plants in a room that had nothing drawing power and all the plants are still in there

[narrow gale]

So looking at the wiki there's not a sonar module for the sea truck

...

[stone lichen]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[narrow gale]

That's disappointing 😦

[amber compass]

will performance be increased on full release?

[fickle sedge]

there will 100% be a mod for that

ofc but the performance is alr good imo

never lag or get fps drops that are noticable

[amber compass]

yeah, but i have a pretty good pc and get higher framerates on significantly more graphically intense games

was just wondering

[narrow gale]

I hope so, because this basically killed my interest in it

[fickle sedge]

for the game?

[narrow gale]

Don't even feel like finishing the game anymore, and now I'm just kinda bummed out

[fickle sedge]

ur joking right

[narrow gale]

Nope, not the first issue I've had with it, tbh

[fickle sedge]

the sonar upgrade wont be as usefull in this game as the first

and its still a single upgrade

for a game with allot of small areas and land where seatruck cant even go

[narrow gale]

Yeah that kinda blows to

But like I said, not the only issue I've had with the sequel, I did put 15 hours into it to try and give ti a chance

[fickle sedge]

the games more about exploring and story

[amber compass]

it definitely doesnt have the same scary feel as the original

[narrow gale]

Well yeah

[fickle sedge]

I wish the levis were more scary

[narrow gale]

And it's not working out for me on that end

[amber compass]

chelicerates basically pose 0 threat

[fickle sedge]

wdym

[narrow gale]

Just disappointed and bummed out by some decisions that were made so ehh

[fickle sedge]

this is all about sonar upgrade for seatruck mind you

[amber compass]

well hello

[fickle sedge]

theyre a bit scary out of nowhere but theyre so weak

[amber compass]

yeah

[fickle sedge]

and easily dealt with

[amber compass]

he just spun me around and i justclicked and he was gone

perimeter defense system

[narrow gale]

Except it isn't, just the issue you've seen me recently remark on.

[amber compass]

what are some other issues

the game isnt even fully out

[fickle sedge]

youve listed the sonar

remember when subnautica fully came out and how its now

[narrow gale]

Tbf I played Subnautica from its first drop in early access all the way through to its release

and had a blast

[amber compass]

wtf i just killed a shark thing by ramming it with my seatruck

didnt think it would be that easy

[fickle sedge]

those are the biggest jokes in the game

they sound and act like a levi

but theyre weaker then the sharks in twisty bridges

[amber compass]

yep

[narrow gale]

Yeah I ram them lol

[amber compass]

they look scary too

[fickle sedge]

now I see them as big ducks

and irl ducks are harder to deal with then these tbh

[amber compass]

yep

do you happen to know where the seatruck horsepower upgrade fragments are?

[fickle sedge]

where every other upgrades are

in sea monkey nests

in the lily pad caves

[amber compass]

alright

and how do i get flowering spores

[fickle sedge]

also in lily pads

but very deep in lily pads in a certain area of lily pads

theres a biome that has like pinkish flowers and theres orange

[amber compass]

alright

[fickle sedge]

things which u want

[amber compass]

how deep

[fickle sedge]

also alien stuff there very deep

like 500+ if I remember right

[amber compass]

alright i cant even go that deep yet

guess ill have to wait

[fickle sedge]

u can swim there

but u need air bladder or 2 to get back to seatruck

[amber compass]

nah i have prawn so i can go 400 down

[fickle sedge]

then use prawn

[amber compass]

ill try to get depth mk1

for prawn

alright how do i get spiral plant clippings

[stone lichen]

nvm found it

thanks

does the drill arm do a lot of damage?

to creatures

[distant hemlock]

Yep

Dont be one of those people tho

[vestal kindle]

what should i do? I just went through || the omega underwater base || and I went through || the mining site||

[granite jackal]

I hope that by release they make the ice worm more threatening

[vapid kestrel]

I mean I don’t think they plan on doing that in less than 12 days

[crystal oriole]

speaking of ||the mining site, there are closed doors in there. Are they forever closed? Would be nice to be able to explore in there||

[vestal kindle]

maybe released in the last update

or like they have keys

and you have to scan stuff and explore some of the game

[gaunt gulch]

Yes, they're locked forever.

[vestal kindle]

like || cure the frozen thing and a key falls out of one of the green things || or || open up the alien satelittle || or maybe something like || the things in the first game where you had to go grab the plants and matierials from around the game to create the medicine/cure ||

[vestal kindle]

really? there were boxes behind some

[vale thistle]

Finally! The last seatruck fabricator fragment...i've been searching for hours!

[vestal kindle]

i am stuck in my seatruck

its in my moonpool and i just died

[vale thistle]

try quitting and restarting the game?

[vestal kindle]

alr

no dice

[crystal oriole]

Yah, that's what bugs me the most 😛

I wanna open the boxes!

[vale thistle]

try starving/thirst to death again?

[vestal kindle]

alright

im full on both this will take a while

[vale thistle]

or search for console commands that let you suicide or port you

[crystal oriole]

how are you stuck?

[paper wyvern]

What???????

[vale thistle]

Is it just me, or are the amount of thermal plant fragments insane? Surely its a mistake?

[cold pumice]

They REALLY want you to use thermal. 😂

[vale thistle]

Without exaggeration, i've found about 30 or so around the lilypad area...i could just about build a tube to space with these thermal vent scans

[cold pumice]

Yeah. Lots of thermal energy after all. I have my main lilypad base powered by at least a dozen thermal gens from near ||marguerite’s base||

[atomic fern]

Seatruck prawn fragment

Let's make a seatruck with arms and legs

[runic fern]

My seatruck needs retractable wheels

[atomic fern]

Yes!

Let's do a mod x)

[runic fern]

ok

[atomic fern]

And me, my seatruck need laser turret and rocket launcher

[runic fern]

Currently listening to the lily pads soundtrack

[fathom marsh]

who else listens to OST album?

[runic fern]

I really like that soundtrack

[fathom marsh]

oh

[atomic fern]

Diving in too deep!!!!

[runic fern]

Cathedral is scary I don’t like that song

[cold pumice]

And my seatruck needs to lose weight and have thicker skin

[fathom marsh]

i don't understand what "intermission" means... I think first one called "mirage machine" is what game calls "juke box one", but the second one... I think i heard it when was on land but not sure

[molten birch]

Bro the craters edge theme is terrifying

[fathom marsh]

haha, its scary only at very start

[molten birch]

I go there to farm titanium and it always creeps me tf out

[atomic fern]

Mod it

With mod you can do anythings

[fathom marsh]

there's no crater in BZ

[runic fern]

There is no intermission

[fathom marsh]

spotify?

[atomic fern]

Can u send me the link?

[molten birch]

I made a 160 meter ladder from my base to the surface so my base is on the surface and 160 meters down

[molten birch]

There is lol

[fathom marsh]

there are 2 of them
https://benprunty.bandcamp.com/album/subnautica-below-zero-original-soundtrack

[fathom marsh]

its not the first game

[runic fern]

It is the same planet tho

[fathom marsh]

and there are lots of titanium around mercury

[fathom marsh]

crater as to small in scale of planet

and sector zero is pretty far from crater in first game

[runic fern]

How did margherite forgot how to spell her name get to sector zero

Margerite

[atomic fern]

Marge Simpson

Let's do a barell roll

[molten birch]

Then what is the void then

It’s the same thing

[runic fern]

The subnautica below zero sound tracks have a sense of nostalgia and fear in a way

[molten birch]

What biome did y’all build your base in

[runic fern]

The plains

[molten birch]

Lame

[runic fern]

but before I got a new pc I lived in the lily pads

Near the crevice

[molten birch]

That’s where I am

Holy crap

That’s exactly where my base is

Not even kidding

[runic fern]

Yes

It’s a rather common spot

[molten birch]

BRUH

I thought I was unique

[runic fern]

yeah

[molten birch]

Mines right above marguites base

I didn’t even know it was there when I built it

Then I upgraded my scanner room all the way and it showed a shadow leviathan and I was like what 🤠

[fathom marsh]

from gameplay point of view - it is. but there's no crater, no vulcano. void is just a deep water

[molten birch]

I scanned for it and it was right below my base

I freaked out so bad

[molten birch]

It’s literally the same thing as the first game

Leviathan class only

And microscopic

[fathom marsh]

it doesnt' mean that there's crater anywhere close

[molten birch]

Bruh

Nothing can survive out there

The only way the ecosystem would flourish is if it was a volcanic crater like the first game

||There’s a reason the people before Robin built their research stations in that exact spot||

[dire niche]

My seatruck is stuck on a fountain above water and I cant get rid of the foundation because the seatruck is there

Is a problem

[fathom marsh]

listen to The Void track... u can hear that very uncomfortable sound of creature

omg i almost listened to spoiler final ending music

[fathom marsh]

don't listen to tracks 49 and 50

they are not in the game yet

[runic fern]

I won’t

[fathom marsh]

good program

[narrow gale]

Anyone know how to get the reinforced dive suit

Wiki says its in the bow section of the Merc but you have to swim in through a cave but I cant find said cave

[fathom marsh]

idk about cave

[cold pumice]

when you find the bow section (lilypad biome), enter through the PRAWN bay. you should find some bunks along the corridor. one of them should contain the scannable suit

[fathom marsh]

but its in largest Mercury wreck

[cold pumice]

it looks nothing like a reinforced dive suit btw

[fathom marsh]

in cabins, laying on bed

yeah, its like white tshirt

[iron scroll]

How tf do you have so many equipment slots?

I only have 5

[torpid canopy]

mods i guess

[narrow gale]

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero/mods/18

[iron scroll]

Any other good mods to have?

That doesnt give unfair advantages

[stoic cargo]

Seatruck scanner module

[stoic cargo]

Penglings with guns

[pallid saffron]

dont give them any ideas

[iron scroll]

Isn't this a standard thing?

[stoic cargo]

no

[iron scroll]

Should I download with vortex or manual?

[stoic cargo]

Not sure ...my PC died ... waiting till I finish the game before adding mods again

[pallid saffron]

how

what did you do

[stoic cargo]

finish on my laptop

it isn't like I stuck some C4 to my PC ... it blew up itself .... there was smoke ... needs some more effort to work ot what can be saved

[pallid saffron]

bro

[stoic cargo]

6 year old PC but well maintained ... not sure what happened .... I have managed to get a bunch of stuff going but it will only start in Windows safe mode .... motherboard seems damaged because what it will and won't recognise

I had to reinstall windows after what looks like also some drive damage

[glad hawk]

I'm sad that my favorite decorations mod for subnautica isn't in below zero just yet. :/ I really want to get into it but I like decorating my home.

[still moss]

is there a way to craft nuclear rods in bz or not?

[iron scroll]

Damn lol

[vale thistle]

https://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/Reactor_Rod

[still moss]

already checked that out but theres no way to craft it is there?

[vale thistle]

It tells you the recipe on that page

[still moss]

thats odd cause i see the recipe and it says "The blueprint for this item is unlocked by unlocking the Nuclear Reactor. " but i didnt get a blueprint of a nuclear rod

didnt see it in the fabricator atleast

[clear siren]

Try building the reactor?

[still moss]

i think i found it in the crafting list menu on the pda, quite odd cause i didnt see it in the fabricator

[vale thistle]

It's there....under the electronics stuff

[still moss]

mustve overlooked it i think?

got it now, ty

[iron scroll]

Do I build a thermal plant right on top of one of these?

As close as possible to the lava?

[narrow gale]

Just needs to be near it

If it works the same way it does in the original, it gets heat from the environment

[stoic cargo]

Mine are above and have 2 x 59C and 1 x 61C

[stoic cargo]

my nuclear powered base has never gone through the free rods you can find in the game .... it has done a heap of ion battery recharges and running of water filters

[iron scroll]

Why can't I build here?

[carmine bobcat]

idk

[cold pumice]

For that particular fumarole, yes.

I’ve noticed some strange behaviour around the smaller vents and purple vents where the temperature around their base is way higher than the temps at the top. Always use a prawn or seatruck to test the ambient temperature before building.

[carmine bobcat]

flying chelicerates

[cold pumice]

Is there something on the wall in the X compartment?

I should actually try a rock puncher farm. I’m curious to know if captive bred rock punchers can be a source of unlimited minerals. So far I’ve gotten titanium, copper, gold and silver from wild ones.

[stoic cargo]

I thought about breeding a heap of seamonkeys and dropping them in a nice resource spot

yes inefficient but interesting

[cold pumice]

Would they still give you resources without ||Alan||?

[mortal imp]

nope

[iron scroll]

Best way to get lithium?

[cold pumice]

Around vents and volcanic activity. Easiest is the Purple Vents

[carmine bobcat]

do Metal Salvage exist in below zero?

[cold pumice]

Yes. But only in some places.

[idle linden]

em

[cold pumice]

Squashed ugandan knuckles

[carmine bobcat]

whats best expirience from subnautica below zero freedom or survival?

[cold pumice]

Survival of course.

[carmine bobcat]

ok

[iron scroll]

How do I get more hull strength? I only have 0.8

[limpid saffron]

where are prawn grapple arm parts?

are they in mining site?

[cold pumice]

Foundations outside, Reinforcements on your walls.

[mortal imp]

Lilypads sea monkey nests

[cold pumice]

Oops you’re right. I was thinking torpedo and propulsion

[idle linden]

does anyone know where the fish friend's egg is?

I think the blind was called

[mortal imp]

Blue eggs: west arctic and Arctic spire. Gold eggs: Deep Lilypads cave

[cold pumice]

Fish friend? Cuddlefish equivalent? ||2 in deep lilypads, 2 at arctic spires, 1 in secret west arctic cave||

[idle linden]

the secret cave is next to the waterfall?

[limpid saffron]

is that next to ||margarite base?||

[mortal imp]

yeah about that area on the surface

[limpid saffron]

oh so it's on surface and not in underground?

[stable monolith]

I just made like 5 rods

[mortal imp]

yes it's not underground

[stable monolith]

woops sorry my discord was still scrolled up, thought it was a recent message

[idle linden]

is there a secret cave somewhere?

[limpid saffron]

i found a lot of nests bu none of them had grpple

[obtuse olive]

nice I just found the last thing. I dont know why it hadnt occured to me to follow the lights

[narrow knot]

does anyone know how to claim the OST?

[stable monolith]

you have to buy it, i don't know where though

[mortal imp]

you cna buy it on steam or you can just use spotify

[narrow knot]

sry but I got confused and thought I would get the soundtrack from below zero. turns out it is the one from the first game

[fathom marsh]

lol

i found very funny but very frustrating bug

u can use ur propulsion cannon on thermal plants

idk why, but thats horrifying

ok, now i can't move my therml plant

[stable monolith]

use f8 to send a bug report

[fathom marsh]

i turned around, and its gone completely.... bye resources

[fathom marsh]

already did

[iron scroll]

Does moon pool or whatever its called repair seatruck?

Or only power it up

[stable monolith]

only power it up

[iron scroll]

rip

Wait what, vehicle upgrade console only colors the vehicles???

[dire niche]

SEATRUCK VALLY

[fathom marsh]

in BZ any fabricator can build upgrades for vehicles, so yes - upgrade console is not usefull now

[atomic fern]

How many fps?

[dire niche]

-69

[atomic fern]

Oh good 😂

[turbid matrix]

Where’s the cave with the golden Trivalve eggs?

[dire niche]

idk

[iron scroll]

What is seatruck frabricator then for

And do I get anything from killing this?

[still moss]

yeah this is a bug i assume lol

[dire niche]

i hope

[dire niche]

no

[still moss]

is there a way to plant ||flowering spores||?

idk if its a spoiler but just marking it as one to be sure

[iron scroll]

How do you mark spoilers btw

[still moss]

||

[iron scroll]

||test

[still moss]

4 of those

[pallid saffron]

|| lilke dis ||

[iron scroll]

oh

||||nice rip

[pallid saffron]

no

[still moss]

like no

[pallid saffron]

two of those on each sşde

[iron scroll]

ahhhh

||like this||

[still moss]

yeah i cant explain it well sorry xD

[iron scroll]

nw, I got it now xD

What can I do if I get trapped by one of those trap monster things?

It says right click but it did nothing, and then I died

[unkempt flame]

BZ physical edition is gonna have an actual cover art right?

Not just this?

[fathom marsh]

its the ame as any other fabricator.

[iron scroll]

Oh, does seatruck not have more than mk1 depth now?

In upgrades

[torn barn]

It has up to mk.3

Make sure you’re using the modification station

[proven grove]

Surely

[proven grove]

You get the satisfaction of knowing you don't have to deal with it again

[iron scroll]

It spawns again though right?

[iron scroll]

I thought I only need fabricator?

[proven grove]

[iron scroll]

Doesn't it?

[cold pumice]

You should have a knife or tool out then spam the right click while swimming away from the trap

[cold pumice]

No those larger ones don’t respawn if killed by you

[proven grove]

You might be right i cant remember now i never kill the animals

[night surge]

I request to be answered on another spoiler-esque thing for Below Zero. I was told no seamoth, only seatruck.. Does the seaglide still exist?

[proven grove]

Yes

[night surge]

Good, good.

I'm just super hype for the release. No knowledge of the game except years old videos from Markiplier wayy back when

[proven grove]

Its pretty good

[still moss]

why does ||architect artifact pk8|| stay on the map when ive already been there?

[carmine bobcat]

Below Zero was released for early access on Jan 30 2019??

Wow. It feels like forever since I had bought it and I has been. I bought it day one

I played it till the "end" a few times then stopped just after the story line was changed. I can't wait to play the full release

[torn barn]

Nope, not for upgrading it

[iron scroll]

Alright ty, does BZ have some kind of cyclops vehicle?

[carmine bobcat]

no

[iron scroll]

Or does BZ only have two vehicles?

And then snow thing

Not sure what that is for though

[carmine bobcat]

Idk but i think so

||Sea truck|| and that snow thing

But it's been a while since I have played

[iron scroll]

and the walking thing, forgot the name

[carmine bobcat]

that too

you mean that penguin thing

[iron scroll]

nono

[carmine bobcat]

oh

[iron scroll]

||prawn suit||

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah

[iron scroll]

Wth why is ||sea truck|| this big on the picture? https://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/Vehicles

[carmine bobcat]

Upgrades

[iron scroll]

Damn, didnt know it got that big

[still moss]

yeah

but how bigger it is, how slower it becomes

[iron scroll]

Ohhh, rip

Makes sense though

[carmine bobcat]

I miss the seamoth

[deep kettle]

Did anyone in here watch the credits? Am I the only one who finds the music to be really loud? 🤔

[carmine bobcat]

idk I have my volume low anyway

most games have their volume to be loud

[next current]

How many times do we have to tell you, Thom? Lower. Your. Volume. I'd say go about 42% since 42 is the magical number.

[iron scroll]

Uhhh this is dangerous right?

Looks dangerous af

[carmine bobcat]

What is that??

Can I dance with it

[iron scroll]

Some big red monster

[carmine bobcat]

:D

[sterile shadow]

No, it gives kisses

[carmine bobcat]

Even better

too bad it can only do it once

[iron scroll]

This || https://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/Chelicerate ||

[carmine bobcat]

Oh I remember that

lol

[iron scroll]

I feel like the mobs in BZ are way weaker than in standard subnautica

[clear siren]

Certainly less scared of the cheli than the reaper yeah

[analog plinth]

yaaay only 11days of waiting

[iron scroll]

The reaper was crazy

[deep kettle]

I did 😔

[next current]

Oh...

[deep kettle]

Also I made the prawn suit for the first time, and it feels really weird when rotating around 🤔

I do like the sound it makes when moving around though xD

[next current]

Really? I'm okay with a little yanking.

[next current]

You should hear the other new sounds it has.

[deep kettle]

It feels like it snaps into place, it doesn't feel quite right to be honest compared to the first game.

[deep kettle]

I heard the arms as well, but that one is way too loud as well xD

Especially when combining both arms.

[next current]

Did you try opening the storage and upgrades panel? Pretty pogger sounds. 😏

I don't know if pogging is still cool.

[deep kettle]

That's a nice little addition yeah 😛

[next current]

Has the maneuverability? 😏 And the slow descent. 😏

[covert topaz]

If i buy below zero now will i have the full releas aswell?

[next current]

Yes.

[covert topaz]

Ok

Whats the best platform to buy it on?

[deep kettle]

Not too much of a fan of the falling, it's way too slow xD

[deep kettle]

There's no "best" platform, just pick the one you normally use I would say 😄

[next current]

What platform do you play games on?

[next current]

Same, but I've grown an attachment to it.

[covert topaz]

Steam, epic games

Which one is better?

[next current]

Steam, just saying. 😏 But that's my preference.

[iron scroll]

I'm at deep purple vents but I can't find spiral plants, what should I look for?

[covert topaz]

Ok

[next current]

Seatruck Docking Module Fragments.

[iron scroll]

I'm at the entrance to ||the crystal cave||

[iron scroll]

I'm looking for the spiral plants is what I mean

But I can't find them anywhere, so are they are caves or what?

[next current]

They're there. But also guaranteed Spiral Plants are in the Vent Gardens within the Tree Spires.

[iron scroll]

Dunno where the tree spires are

[next current]

If you keep looking around in the DPV's, you might find them.

[next current]

Directly behind the Delta Island.

[iron scroll]

From spawn?

Found it

So are the spiral plants on the trees?

[charred basalt]

all i know is that there are some in the ventgardens

its an excuse to go in them

[iron scroll]

wait the jelly fish things?

The huge ones

[charred basalt]

yes

go underneath them youll see

[frozen dew]

theyre in deep purple vents

[iron scroll]

well

Can't really go there

[next current]

Swim.

[frozen dew]

use the shocker

[charred basalt]

oof

[iron scroll]

I got no shocker

[stoic cargo]

punch a tree

[frozen dew]

visit marge

[iron scroll]

So are the plants under the jelly fishes or inside?

[charred basalt]

yea get the spiral plants from another method then

[deep kettle]

They are using the prawn.

[frozen dew]

dont use the prawn than

[deep kettle]

I think at least.

[charred basalt]

inside so would be too hard

[iron scroll]

I am in prawn yeah

[charred basalt]

yeah unless u have grapple i would always use seatruck

[iron scroll]

I dont have grapple

I'll just try and swim there, where exactly are the plants?

[frozen dew]

deep purple is easy for spiral

[iron scroll]

I was there, found none

[frozen dew]

hideen in the grass

[stoic cargo]

seatruck = OP water .... prawn = OP land

[charred basalt]

snowfox = meh?

[stoic cargo]

snowfox = toy

[frozen dew]

i could give you a link to my stream from yesterday i got spirals in deep purple

[iron scroll]

Oh my, I was looking at the wrong ones, the correct ones are HUGE

[frozen dew]

yes theyre megaphones

[stoic cargo]

huge purple ... ?

megaphones?

[cold pumice]

The spiral plants in the deep purple vents are all near the ||architect fossil dig site|| in the places with the plant life

[charred basalt]

do u know what they look like

that would help

[stoic cargo]

spiral plants are easily found in the || ventgardens ||

[iron scroll]

At the entance to ||crystal caves || ?

Because I was there, and found none

[frozen dew]

its in the area where dock module fragments are

[iron scroll]

How do I even enter the ventgardens? Can't go past the shields

[frozen dew]

bottom

swim only

[charred basalt]

up their bottom hole

[stoic cargo]

searching for small plant vs searching for || friggen ginormous ventgarden ||

[charred basalt]

only the stationary ones

[iron scroll]

Got emmmmm

Damn it was scary

[charred basalt]

wooo

[stoic cargo]

now grow your own .... and also grow some spiral plants

[charred basalt]

if its for synthetic fibres you can pick up some in glacial basin too

[iron scroll]

Grow my own what?

[stoic cargo]

spiral plants

[iron scroll]

and what

[stoic cargo]

plant them

[charred basalt]

exterior growbed

[stoic cargo]

there are 6 external and 3 internal things well worth growing

[covert topaz]

oh one more thing i

[charred basalt]

list em

[iron scroll]

Well, now I can upgrade my seatruck

[covert topaz]

will subnautica below zero have any other updates when fuly released like really big ones? or just bug fixes?

[iron scroll]

to mk 2 depth

[charred basalt]

[covert topaz]

ok

[charred basalt]

actually maybe that doesnt answer

only bug fixes and game ending

[covert topaz]

ok

anything else?

[charred basalt]

nope

sad right

[iron scroll]

Should I use ion power cells instead of normal ones?

[next current]

How many Ion Cubes do you have?

[iron scroll]

Ehh 5+

idk

[next current]

I'd make one.

[iron scroll]

why not two?

What else can I use ion cubes for

[next current]

5 is not a lot.

[next current]

Quantum Lockers, Recyclotron, Ion Batteries, etc.

[stoic cargo]

|| creepvine, creepvine seed, pepper tree, frost vase plant, gel sack, prestons plant, cotton anemone, ribbon plant, spiral plant ||

that assumes you run a water filtration machine and are playing survival not freedom

[iron scroll]

What should I get after depth mk2?

For seatruck

[stoic cargo]

up to you .. so many things to get at that stage of the game and who knows what you don't have

[iron scroll]

Well as in upgrades, the shock thing?

I got no other upgrades for seatruck

And no modules

[stoic cargo]

you have been to marg base?

[iron scroll]

The woman with the prawn?

[stoic cargo]

yes

[iron scroll]

I have

[stoic cargo]

then you missed stuff

[iron scroll]

Wait what

At the house?

[stoic cargo]

at her base

[iron scroll]

I mean I got the parts from the table if that's what you mean

For the satelite tower

[stoic cargo]

you don't have the shock thing right?

[iron scroll]

Nope

[stoic cargo]

well you missed it

[iron scroll]

Fak

I don't have the location anymore

Or is it pilot last known location?

[stoic cargo]

yes you do ... the beacon of last known pilot thingy stays

[iron scroll]

Ahhh

kk, I had just hidden it. mb

[stoic cargo]

if you are really unsure then go into disability settings and turn on the highlight option

also look around the outside of the base for another item

[iron scroll]

Damn didnt know that was a think

So it highlights fragments?

[stoic cargo]

it highlights interactive things

things you can scan, pickup, open etc

[next current]

This is true. It is in the accessibility settings.

[stoic cargo]

I was translating 🙂

[next current]

Translating what?

[stoic cargo]

translating into non pc conversation

mainly because I could not remember the actual label

[next current]

Oh, okay.

[carmine bobcat]

Is it worth it to get Below Zero for PS5? I might get it later today.

[stoic cargo]

it is so easy to miss stuff in this game ... many people must do it hard to the end because they don't know an item exists

[charred basalt]

what does frost vase do

[stoic cargo]

I did the lava castle with a prawn in the original without the final depth upgrade because I did not know it existed ... I got out once and a while to repair the prawn lol

[charred basalt]

not out yet but yea

dont u get the first game as well on ps5

[iron scroll]

Can't find the damn entrance with the lights

[stoic cargo]

water purification tablets so filtration machine makes double the water

[charred basalt]

cool

that machine is so slow by itself

[carmine bobcat]

I already have the first one but I'll probably pre order it today

[stoic cargo]

well actually you don't need the machine ... salt is easy to find

[charred basalt]

not the salt i want it for

[cold pumice]

That's how I cure myself as soon as I get the prawn suit, drill arm and grapple arm

the prawn takes so little damage from crush depth I can easily unlock the PCF with barely any effort

[stoic cargo]

the problem with repairing the prawn in the lava castle was the water loss

[iron scroll]

Found it @stoic cargo so ty

Omg, there's some huge leviathan with a red tail

[carmine bobcat]

[next current]

What does it look like? 🤔

[iron scroll]

Well, kinda like a reaper

but black, and with a red tail

[next current]

Is it all black and slick?

Mostly black.

[iron scroll]

I believe so

[next current]

That's the Shadow Leviathan.

I'd avoid him if I were you.

[stoic cargo]

Shadow Leviathans are greatly misunderstood creatures and greatly need a hug ..... it is funny chasing them in your seatruck

[iron scroll]

Can't find the way to the body cache, I'm around 100 meters right on top

But there's no way down

this weird place

[white phoenix]

there is a system of tunnels that takes you down

[iron scroll]

Yeah got into a tunnel but it just ended in a big round room

[white phoenix]

I got stuck in that place for a while

[stoic cargo]

body cache? there are multiple parts

[iron scroll]

Got to this place but cant get further

[vivid gorge]

Is there a discount for preordering bz on pc?

[iron scroll]

First body cache I believe

[stoic cargo]

head towards the large sunflower type things and keep going down

[iron scroll]

Yeah that's what I did, but it just ended

[stoic cargo]

look out for architect type lights

[iron scroll]

U mean this right?

[stoic cargo]

yes

[iron scroll]

It just ended

[stoic cargo]

what did?

[vivid gorge]

??

[stoic cargo]

keep circulating around flower areas looking for a way down

[iron scroll]

Think I found the right one

[stoic cargo]

yes but you need a time machine

[iron scroll]

There were two caves that went down

[vivid gorge]

Heh?? Time machine?

[stoic cargo]

PC beta version cost less but prices now are final for release

[distant totem]

yea, I bought it for cheap on EA launch

[vivid gorge]

O
So the price won’t change now?

It’s always gonna be 40 dollars?

[distant totem]

not until a few years probably due to new games not really getting sales

[stoic cargo]

not until it reduces as the game gets old

[vivid gorge]

Ok thanks

Just wondering about benefits

[distant totem]

no benefits, you just get the game on launch

[stoic cargo]

and black friday type sales

[iron scroll]

Wait whaaat, I went all the way down there and nothing happened? Lol

I researched it ofc though

[stoic cargo]

look for alien type structures to guide you

[vivid gorge]

I’m planning on buying the game on release day

[iron scroll]

Im down there

At the end

[stoic cargo]

if you are at a bottom point with no alien structures then pick up eggs for fun

[iron scroll]

And I just researched ||the dead architect||

[distant totem]

well thats the cache

[stoic cargo]

what he said

[iron scroll]

Yeah, so nothing else here right?

[stoic cargo]

yes, 2 useful plant things and some fun eggs

[distant totem]

grab cottten antenae seeds

[iron scroll]

No plants I get take here

[distant totem]

its just decoration

[stoic cargo]

grab some flower spores because it will save you a trip back later

[still moss]

"proceed with caution. A leviathan class creature is near"

[iron scroll]

These ig

[distant totem]

proCeed with cAution

[still moss]

should i be scared of the shadow leviathan?

[stoic cargo]

yes

[vivid gorge]

Ehh

[distant totem]

I mean, yes

[still moss]

just want some kyanite

[distant totem]

but its more of a nuseince

then anything

[stoic cargo]

depends ... are you in a seatruck?

[distant totem]

just make sure to have a repair tool

[vivid gorge]

Yes if you don’t have the perimeter defence system on seatruck

[still moss]

i do have the perimeter defence system tho

[distant totem]

ok then just give him the good ol electric tickle

[still moss]

used it alot on the shrimp

sure its gonna work and that i dont die? xD

[stoic cargo]

no worries then

[still moss]

oki if 3 people confirm i'll not be scared xD

[stoic cargo]

arm the defence by pressing number and as soon as it grabs zap it

[distant totem]

i killed the shrimp in purple vents

i rode him on my prawn suit like a bucking bronco

[stoic cargo]

I was surprised how easily you can do that

[distant totem]

and beat him to death

[stoic cargo]

do they respawn?

[distant totem]

he swam me down all the way to lilypad caves

[distant totem]

nope

[stoic cargo]

oh so you can clear an area

[frozen dew]

do not kill levithans till game launches. map will be refreshed on the update

[stoic cargo]

I killed one of the things starting with c ... cryocryptus thingys

[distant totem]

its fun though

[stoic cargo]

what happens if game launches and leviathans are dead?

[frozen dew]

they respawn

[distant totem]

pretty sure they dont

[carmine bobcat]

why tf i cant remove these things

[distant totem]

im pretty sure the mods have said they dont respawn

[frozen dew]

yes they do. the map is refreshed. so everything pops back

[distant totem]

if the map is fully refreshed, then your bases and stuff would dissapear

[frozen dew]

they are not stored in the map system

[stoic cargo]

your flippers?

[frozen dew]

u can do it yourself

kill a levi

delete the save files cellscache folder

the map will regenerate

[carmine bobcat]

no

the base

[frozen dew]

the base says nothing of whats blocking it

[stoic cargo]

something inside? deleting the wrong part first? try different angles?

[carmine bobcat]

is says first remove the connected konponents

[frozen dew]

things can be inside

[carmine bobcat]

there is nothing inside

[frozen dew]

other part

[stoic cargo]

remove the portals first

[still moss]

i remember reading about mobs respawning with every update so i think they can be right

[carmine bobcat]

i cant

it says same thing

[stoic cargo]

do you have something partly built nearby?

[carmine bobcat]

no

[distant totem]

deconstruct the hatch

[iron scroll]

I feel like seatruck horse power upgrade is a scam

I can't see if it's faster or not

[stoic cargo]

it is

faster

[frozen dew]

its not. but youre not going to be able to make a full speed truck. if you use all modules at the same time

[stoic cargo]

or less slower

[distant totem]

seatruck sucks

[iron scroll]

So it's just for using modules?

[carmine bobcat]

i cant it says first remove the connected komponents

[distant totem]

compared to chad cyclops

[stoic cargo]

fastest seatruck is cab + 2 x afterburner

[iron scroll]

Are cyclops in BZ????

[frozen dew]

no

[distant totem]

well base building is like completely broken in this build

[iron scroll]

cab?

[distant totem]

sadly no

wish there was the atlas

[stoic cargo]

the truck

[distant totem]

that would b sick

[iron scroll]

what does afterburner do

[stoic cargo]

speed burst

[distant totem]

it lets u mega sped for a sec

[stoic cargo]

more than a sec

[iron scroll]

Why not just 3 or 4 of those then

to get perma

[frozen dew]

if you use the truck with 2 modules. horse and after its the same speed as the cyclops

[stoic cargo]

well firstly there are only 4 upgrade slots so you want to use those also and secondly because of the cool down period you only need 2 max

[iron scroll]

So 2 x afterburner, defense and what?

horsepower?

[frozen dew]

ugprades dont not stack

[stoic cargo]

not many people use 2 afterburner ... I do because I swap modules to go faster at low depths

[stoic cargo]

you can fire one afterburner while the other is in cool down

[next current]

Afterburner and Perimeter Defense sort of stack.

[frozen dew]

since when. they said they removed stacking of the same item

[distant totem]

it gives you extra slots for each, basically letting you overlap use them

[next current]

Horsepower and Depth Modules don't stack.

[distant totem]

not sure if its intended, but its definitaly a thing

[stoic cargo]

it isn't stacking ... it is using another upgrade during cool down

[frozen dew]

i thought all multiple upgrades of the same item was done with the truck

[iron scroll]

So what are the other modules you use?

Or upgrades I mean

[distant totem]

I just do storage + docking 90% of the time

occasionally adding sleeper or fabricator

[iron scroll]

But like upgrades

Like depth, defense and what

[distant totem]

but I have outposts everywhere so i dont need most modules

[frozen dew]

oh they did the cheeky thing "There is a 10-12s cooldown after each use, so there is no speed benefit to equipping more than one. "

instead of just blocking multiples

[next current]

Same, but I'll add a teleportation module behind by Storage Modules.

[warm panther]

IMO BZ just isnt as good as the origoinal :/

Its missing a cyclops

[stoic cargo]

I have 2xstorage, 1xfab and 1 docking and do an appropriate combo of those which I need.... note that fab acts also like storage as you can make stuff to save space

[frozen dew]

maps not deisgned for it

[distant totem]

I literally never need more then 1 storage. My prawn works as a storage just fine

[warm panther]

True, driving the cyclops felt epic though, driving the seat truck feels... meh

[frozen dew]

i rather move in 3d space. than have the cyclops

[distant totem]

who dosent....
